Red November?
Politics | Republicans need to gain 10 seats to take control of the Senate. It's a daunting task, but energized Republicans, dispirited Democrats, and deficit-wary independents are putting Democratic-held seats in unexpected jeopardy
SOUTH BEND, Ind., DEERFIELD, Ill., and STEVENS POINT, Wisc.-It is not surprising that you'd find an Irish pub in South Bend, Ind., just down the road from the Fighting Irish at the University of Notre Dame. But it is somewhat unique that Peter Wallace turns one corner of the Fiddler's Hearth into his pastoral office for a weekly "Pastor in the Pub" session.
Wallace, who leads the city's Michiana Covenant Presbyterian Church (PCA), holds informal office hours here for four hours every Tuesday. Anyone is welcome-you don't have to be a church member. Wallace believes that "a little bit of beer helps the lessons go down."
The pastor admits that sometimes it doesn't take more than a pint or two of ale before the pub discussions turn political-especially this year with an open Senate seat in Indiana that may switch from Democrat to Republican.
With a major university nearby, South Bend residents tend to be Democrats. But that doesn't keep frustration from running high. Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., blamed partisan politics when he shocked state voters by announcing his retirement in February.
Partisanship isn't what concerns customers at Fiddler's Hearth. "Government can make things much worse quickly, but it can't make things much better that quickly," argued engineer Mark Hanson, 57, one of about a half dozen people joining Wallace. "I actually prefer gridlock in Washington. It constrains the ambitions of Congress to change the world."
In 2008, Barack Obama was the first Democratic presidential candidate to win Indiana in 44 years, but he won by less than 1 percentage point. Today his party's standing in the state has taken a hit: The Democrats' choice to replace Bayh, Brad Ellsworth, a second-term congressmen who voted for the healthcare overhaul, is 21 points behind his Republican opponent, Dan Coats. This despite the fact that Coats, a former House member and a senator turned lobbyist, does not fit the antiestablishment mold now favored by many conservatives.
Pastor Wallace, 40, professes that even his wife doesn't know his pick for president in 2008. But he believes that "having an African-American in the White House is a good thing for this country." He also says that the current Democratic majority's agenda in Washington is giving the country a "chance to see what liberalism really is. Then Americans can decide if this is what we really want."
Wallace is still quick to warn his Fiddler's Hearth flock against putting too much faith in government. "This is not what should drive our lives," he said.
Between sips of his drink, Wallace, whose full black beard and glasses highlight his professorial air, likes to recount what happened last year when unemployment hit about 15 percent in his 125-member congregation.
The church came together. Members provided odd jobs that gave the unemployed the dignity of work. A deacon's fund for the unemployed reached six figures.
"This is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, using our resources to help one another," Wallace said, adding that too many churches rely on government programs to help the poor, which fosters a distance between the giver and receiver of charity.
He calls such local, personal outreach "getting involved in the small." Wallace argues that this provides greater benefit than devoting your time and money to the national political scene.
Wallace is prepping a sermon series on politics from a Christian perspective, but I would not be able to stay. I had to keep heading West. Next stop: President Obama's home turf.
Through five states in two days I had not run into many Americans with pleasant things to say about Washington.
While setting up the itinerary for the trip, I purposely had not asked the party affiliation of the individuals I wanted to visit. And yet people from Pennsylvania to Indiana had mostly complaints about Washington's current majority party (though they are not too happy with Republicans either).
But entering Illinois, I thought I just might run into some true blue state devotees.
Evan Kane, 41, a Democrat from Deerfield, Ill., spent the last two election cycles helping out his party on the campaign trail. He pushed hard for Democrat Dan Seals in two unsuccessful bids for a House seat in Illinois' competitive 10th District north of Chicago.
Now two years into the Obama administration, Kane believes it doesn't really matter who gets elected. The results, he said, are the same: disappointment.
"This was the time we could have had real social change," Kane, a real estate broker, told me. Kane said the new healthcare law, among other things, did not go far enough. He wanted a public option. "We were expecting another FDR. But it is FDR talk with no FDR results."
Federal policies have not helped Kane's clients avoid foreclosures or get needed bank loans. "There is a PR campaign about how things are going so well," Kane said after an area Chamber of Commerce breakfast. "But they are not. None of the problems are actually getting solved."
His frustration with Washington sounded very similar to the conservative anger I'd encountered in other states. Both groups seem fed up with the cast of characters making up the political status quo. But Kane's disgust has its roots in his belief that Democrats have underreached, not overreached. "I really thought he would be able to deliver," Kane said, referring to Obama. "Or did he just say those things to get elected? At the end of the day, nothing has really changed."
This fall Kane is remaining on the political sidelines. And he said he is not alone among liberals in his community: "More and more people are beginning to think that if you put the best man in office the system will corrupt him."
Such dispirited sentiments from Democrats in a state where Democrats hold every statewide office have Republicans eyeing a treasured bounty this November: the Senate seat once held by Obama.
Nationally, the Democratic Party's favorable rating dropped to a low of 33 percent in August. Obama won the White House partly due to large turnout among Democrats combined with a frustrated Republican Party. Now the roles may have reversed: Deep Democratic discontent may keep liberals home on Election Day in 2010.
It doesn't help the Democrats that their nominee for Obama's old seat, state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, has a track record that raises eyebrows in the current economic climate. Federal regulators last spring seized his family-owned bank where Giannoulias once worked as a loan officer.
His opponent, Rep. Mark Kirk, who is leaving the 10th Congressional District seat he has held for 10 years, is better funded. But Kirk's early lead has dwindled to a dead heat after he had to apologize for misstating his military record.
"This is normally a Democratic state," admitted Kirk at a Labor Day rally, according to the Chicago Sun Times. "But we've won the grass-roots war. We've won the fund-raising war and now it's time to win the final battle. This is clearly our year."
In the northern Chicago suburb of Highland Park, Democrat Diane Rudy argues that liberals have had a successful two-year run. Rudy, an artist in her 60s, said she is disenchanted because Democrats "have not been able to get our message to connect with the people."
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have failed to strike a chord with middle America. Meanwhile Republicans have succeeded in making their arguments against bigger government the main national narrative heading into this year's elections.
She is worried that disheartened voters like Kane will stay home this November. She said her homosexual friends are angry because Democrats have not ended the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. Other friends in the Hispanic community are upset because the immigration debate took a back seat to healthcare the last two years.
"Democrats are a rowdy group," said Rudy. She worries that too many Democrats "are solely focused on their individual passion. It could end up hurting the party by dividing ourselves."
She thinks Democrats can only be reenergized and reunified when Obama uses the bully pulpit of the presidency the next few weeks to highlight what is at stake this November. That is the same conclusion many top Democrats have reached: Obama plans four big rallies this fall to try to recapture the 2008 magic.
One of his first stops will be Sept. 28 in Wisconsin, which also happens to be where I am headed next.
Wisconsinite John Jury remembers being asked by friends on the streets of Stevens Point earlier this year to sign a petition in favor of the healthcare overhaul. The political independent's refusal to do so left puzzled looks on his friends' faces.
Stevens Point-a city located in almost the exact center of the state-began as a supply camp for loggers sending white pines down the Wisconsin River.
Today it is the seat of Portage County, a place where, according to Jury, "if you don't run as a Democrat you aren't going to win." That is, he adds, until now.
Everyone knows that Wisconsinites like their beer and brats. People here are also quick to use one word to describe themselves: frugal. "The only thing better than cheap here is free," explained the 63-year-old Jury.
Jury, a long-time administrator at the University of Wisconsin's local branch in Stevens Point, told me this native frugality is why so many Wisconsin voters are angry with Washington. The state has the 10th-worst financial condition in the nation in rankings compiled by Forbes.com, including a debt per capita of $1,429 and unfunded pensions per capita of $16,418.
In the aftermath of Washington's runaway spending, Wisconsin voters, who fell hard for Obama in 2008, are suddenly making life difficult for their veteran lawmakers. "This spending has got to stop," Jury said.
Russ Feingold, the state's three-term Democratic senator who won by 12 points in 2004, now finds himself deadlocked in his race for a fourth term against wealthy businessman and political novice Ron Johnson. Johnson has poured $4 million of his own money into the race. After labeling the race "solid Democrat" at the start of the year, the Washington-based Cook Political Report is now calling the race a "toss-up."
"I am you," Johnson likes to say on the campaign trail, highlighting his political inexperience.
The anti-incumbency mood also contributed to the May retirement announcement of Democratic Rep. David Obey, whose 7th Congressional District includes Stevens Point. Obey has been in Congress since 1969. "He sensed it was going to be much more of a horse race than it has been in the past," Jury said of Obey's decision.
As an independent, Jury is the type of voter who can make or break an election for either party. Dissatisfied with President George W. Bush's foreign policy and John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin as his running mate in 2008, Jury went for Obama.
Voters like Jury helped Obama win the independent vote, which made up almost 30 percent of the electorate, by 8 percentage points in 2008. But independents' disapproval of Obama has reached an all-time high of 57 percent in a September ABC News poll. By a 13-point margin, independents said they would vote for Republican candidates this year.
When asked if he is now feeling voter's remorse, Jury is quick to reply: "Oh yeah. I don't think it has gone as well as people would have hoped."
"I have a trillion point four reasons," Jury replied, alluding to the federal budget deficit, which hit a record $1.4 trillion last year.
"There has been a realignment. People around here are getting used to living on a little less," said Jury, adding that it is time for the government in Washington to learn how to do the same.

Jelena Jankovic's summer of misery came to a fitting end today at the US Open. During a windswept Day 6 the fourth seed, who had only earned one win in three tourneys during the US Open Series, was defeated by hard-hitting Kaia Kanepi 6-2, 7-6 (1) in the third round. The pair struggled to keep the ball inside the lines combining for 78 errors against only 32 winners. The 31st seed will face last year's semifinalist Yanina Wickmayer for a spot in the quarterfinals.
JJ blamed the tough, blustery conditions on-court for her struggles today but credited Kaia for managing her game better under the circumstances:
Q. How bad was the wind and how did you try to manage playing into the wind when you were against the wind?
JELENA JANKOVIC: Oh, the wind was really tough. The conditions were really, really tough, you know, to play. I had a really hard time, you know, hitting the balls. You know, obviously they were going all over the place. The wind was really strong, and she handled these kind of conditions a lot better than I did. You know, that was the case today. It was really tough to play tennis, because, I mean, it's tough to serve, tough to hit the balls. The balls move all over the place, and I had a really hard time over there. Unfortunately, I lost.
Q. How close to unplayable was it?Regardless of the conditions this result is not a big surprise. As I mentioned earlier JJ has been struggling to find her best form all summer long after rolling her ankle in Portoroz. I think under normal circumstances (read: having actual confidence) the Serb would've out-steadied the Estonian in these tough conditions, but it wasn't to be today.
JELENA JANKOVIC: I don't know, but it's, you know, to be honest, you can't you know, I had a hard time serving. You toss the ball, and it was all over the place. And then you hit the ball one direction, it goes another. You're just getting ready to hit the ball and just moves away from you. So it was really hard out there. But like I said, she handled the wind a lot better than I did. She was the better player today. Congrats to her.

Royals agree to terms with outfielder Alex Gordon for 2011
A busy news day continues…the Royals have agreed to terms with outfielder Alex Gordon (at left, hitting a walk-off home run on July 30) on a one-year contract for 2011, avoiding arbitration. Consistent with club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed. The deal leaves first baseman Billy Butler and right-handed pitchers Kyle Davies and Robinson Tejeda as the club's only unsigned arbitration-eligible players.
The 26-year-old Gordon made a successful conversion from third base to the outfield in 2010. He split his campaign between Omaha and Kansas City, batting .217 with eight home runs and 20 RBI in 74 games with the Royals. Gordon was the Royals' first-round selection (second overall) in the 2005 Draft.

The New York City Department of Health (DOH) announced today the results of a survey conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the New York City Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Alcoholism Services (DMH) to assess the physical and mental health needs of lower Manhattan residents following the World Trade Center disaster. DOH will distribute the survey results to residents of lower Manhattan, community boards, and other local organizations in lower Manhattan.
Survey teams consisting of DOH and CDC staff members canvassed selected apartment units in Battery Park City, Southbridge Towers, and Independence Plaza in lower Manhattan in late October 2001. For other residential areas south of Reade Street, survey teams convened focus groups to obtain public input. In all 414 individuals participated in the door-to-door survey. Participation was voluntary and anonymous, and only included residents who had occupied their homes at the time of the survey. The main findings of the study, were:
Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder include: emotional numbness; sleep disturbances; depression and anxiety; feelings of intense guilt; as well as irritability or outbursts of anger. PTSD is diagnosed when these symptoms persist for more than one month, and symptoms typically develop within three months of a traumatic event.
NYC Departments of Health and Mental Health Respond to Community Needs
In response to the survey results, the Departments of Health and Mental Health will continue extensive outreach services to populations affected by the World Trade Center Disaster. These services include:
The New York City Departments of Health (DOH) and Mental Health (DMH) recently launched a public education campaign entitled NEW YORK NEEDS US STRONG. This program is part of Project Liberty, an ongoing disaster-recovery initiative created by the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) to provide free, immediate crisis counseling, education, and referral services to people affected by the World Trade Center disaster. Statewide, Project Liberty is being implemented through:
The Department of Mental Health, working with the National Mental Health Association, continues to operate 1-800-LIFENET - a 24-hour mental health counseling, information, and referral line to assist those who are experiencing emotional distress. LifeNet operators provide assistance in English, Spanish (1-877-AYUDESE ), and Chinese (1-877-990-8585).

Black box signals of missing flight 370 detected by Navy team
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—U.S. Navy personnel continue their support of the
search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, a Pentagon spokesman said April 7.
The United States has two P-8 Poseidon aircraft searching in the Indian Ocean, Army
Colonel Steve Warren said.
Navy aircraft supporting the search have flown 24 missions, with 220 hours of flight
time covering 336,000 square nautical miles, according to a U.S. 7th Fleet news
"Additionally, we have two pieces of highly sophisticated underwater detection
equipment [engaged in the search] — the towed pinger locator and the Bluefin-21
[sidescan sonar]," Warren said.
Both underwater devices are operating from the Australian Defense Vessel Ocean
Shield, the news release said.
The team operating the towed pinger locator detected signals April 6 that are
consistent with sounds that would come from a black box, the release said. The
signals were detected on at least three separate occasions for extended periods of
time and at several different depths. The locator also detected two signals at the
same frequency, but in different locations, which would be consistent with signals
transmitted by both a flight data recorder and a cockpit voice recorder, the release
The team is working to reacquire the signal and plans to use the Bluefin-21 to create
a picture of any potential wreckage.
The search is a round-the-clock operation, and is currently focused on an area about
950 nautical miles northwest of Perth, Australia.
Determining the location and position of search assets is "a very collaborative effort
between Americans, the Australians, the Malaysians and others," Warren said. But, he
added, "the Australians right now do have the lead.

we are evaluating a zimbra deployment with BES(X) 5 for around 50 users, the 2 ways sync is working well (against a BESX) but I can't understand if the sync of only the PRINCIPAL Address Book and Calendar is a limit of ZCB, BESX or of the Blackberry system.
I've been told by the supplier we are testing zimbra with, that it's a limitation of the BES Express but I can't find any references about it.
Would it be possible to sync more than an Address Book/Calendar?
If it's a limit of ZCB could we sponsor the development of it in some way?
If it's a limit of the Blackberry system could we sponsor the ability to "merge" all the resources into the main one from the BB point of view?
thanks for your time

The tonsils are round pieces of tissue that are located in the back of the mouth on either side of the throat. The tonsils can usually be seen in the throat of your child by using a light.
Tonsillitis occurs when the tonsils become inflamed from a viral or bacterial infection.
The symptoms of tonsillitis vary greatly depending on the cause of the infection, and can occur either suddenly or gradually. The following are the most common symptoms of tonsillitis. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of tonsillitis may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Adenoids are similar to the tonsils. The adenoids are made up of lymph tissue and are located in the space above the soft roof of the mouth (nasopharynx) and cannot be seen by looking in your child's nose or throat. Adenoids may cause problems if they become enlarged or infected.
Adenoiditis is when the adenoids become inflamed from infection.
The symptoms of adenoiditis vary greatly depending on the cause of the infection, and can occur either suddenly or gradually. The following are the most common symptoms of adenoiditis. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of adenoiditis may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Specific treatment for tonsillitis and adenoiditis will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Your child's physician will decide the best treatment for your child. Treatment depends on the cause of the infection, the severity of the infection, and the number of times the child has developed infections. Your child's physician may order antibiotics and/or steroids to help with the infection.
Some children may be referred to an ear, nose, and throat surgeon to have the tonsils and adenoids removed. This surgery is called a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. Often, the tonsils and adenoids are removed at the same time, but, sometimes, only one is removed. Your child's physician will discuss this with you.
Download our teaching sheet to learn more.
The reasons for this surgery are not well defined, and many surgeons differ in their views. The following are some of the more widely accepted reasons for having a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy:
The following are tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy guidelines from the American Academy of Otolaryngology:
The sore throats may be associated with the following:
The following are additional reasons that are more controversial regarding the removal of the adenoids and tonsils:
The following are some situations that DO NOT require removal of the tonsils, although each child will be evaluated on an individual basis:
The need for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy surgery will be determined by your child's ear, nose, and throat surgeon and discussed with you. Most tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy surgeries are done on an outpatient basis. This means that your child will have surgery and then go home the same day. Some children may be required to stay overnight.
During the surgery, your child will be under general anesthesia in the operating room. The surgeon will remove your child's tonsils and adenoids through the mouth. There will be no cut on the skin.
In most cases, after the surgery your child will go to a recovery room where he/she can be monitored closely. After the child is fully awake and doing well, the recovery room nurse will bring the child back to the day surgery area.
At this point, if everything is going well, you and your child will be able to go home. If your child is going to stay the night in the hospital, the child will be brought from the recovery room to his/her room. Usually, the parents are in the room to meet the child.
The following are some of the instructions that may be given to you to help care for your child:
Any type of surgery poses a risk to a child. About 5 percent of the children begin bleeding from the surgery site about five to eight days after the surgery, and may require a blood transfusion and/or surgery. Bleeding may occur up to three weeks after surgery. Some children may have a change in the sound of their speech due to the surgery. The following are some of the other complications that may occur:

In the fashion world, lots of people talk about how they want to bring curvy back, how the super-skinny aesthetic is over, and how it's time to start seeing a wider range of body types in fashion.
Except that then, what happens is that no one does it. Fashion magazine editors continue to populate their glossies with emaciated-looking ladies, people who cast runway shows keep tossing stick figures on the catwalk, and women keep getting bombarded with the sight of rib bones and hollow stomachs.
But you know who is the exception to this rule? Kate Upton. As we've discussed, Upton is not fat; like, not even a little bit. But she does have some flesh on her body, and — dare I say it? — maybe even a rogue fat cell or two. Instead of talking about how unfair things are for her, though, she's just out there modeling and being happy. And, in the process, she's slowly but surely broadening the narrow fashion standards for beauty.
Here she is being awesome in the May issue of Harper's Bazaar, photographed by Terry Richardson (there is that).

Will talk of big pensions bring reform?
Some say focus on the outliers is the wrong approach
SACRAMENTO Revelations about a Bay Area county executive whose base retirement plan will top $400,000 a year have sparked new debates about public employee pensions.
Lost in much of the discussion is a reality for governments across the state: No reform plan in place or seriously contemplated would touch core benefits for current employees, many primed to gain from big boosts granted by governments at the turn of the century.
Although those benefits are at the heart of the coming crisis in pension funding, they are also considered vested rights as sacrosanct as the state constitution itself.
Statewide efforts to rein in costs, so far, have decreased benefits only for new hires, which is not expected to save much money for years or decades.
The $413,000 pension projected for Alameda County Administrator Susan Muranishi — plus cost of living increases, plus a taxpayer-funded 401(k)-style savings account — are likely to be paid out until she dies.
"When you are talking about chief administrative officers, you're talking about people who are vested in their positions," said Del Norte County Supervisor David Finigan, president of the California State Association of Counties. "The problem with the state's pension overhaul is, it's going to be reformed only for the new entry-level people."
Last year's trumpeted state legislation to cut pension costs required public employees hired this year to work longer before they retire with full benefits. It also capped benefits for the highest earners and forced workers to eventually contribute at least half toward their retirement plans.
Some pension experts predict the overhaul will reduce the state systems' long-term pension funding shortfall by only about 10 percent.
"Everybody knows and acknowledges that something has to be done and where we are trying to start is with the entry-level people," Finigan said. "But it is a county by county, union by union, bargaining unit by bargaining unit issue unless the Legislature steps in and says, 'this is the way it's going to be.'"
News of Muranishi's $638,000 compensation package and expected pension has drawn widespread outcry and reverberated across the national media. One supervisor quoted in the Bay Area likened the job to being the chief executive of a large corporation in arguing she was "worth every penny."
Alameda County, which takes in Oakland, Fremont and Berkeley, has about 1.5 million residents. San Diego County, at about twice the size, provides recently retired Chief Walt Ekard a $207,026 pension.
Sue Caro, chairwoman of the Alameda County Republican Party, said the people she's talked with don't see the generous retirement plan as a partisan issue.
Are pension benefits for current public employees sustainable at promised levels?
Yes 25% (113)
No 75% (331)
444 total votes.
"When you get this kind of report that the county executive who is 63 years old and healthy is going to have a full pay package promised for life it's just enraging to everybody," Caro said.
Muranishi, a 38-year veteran of county government, declined to comment, as did all five elected supervisors.
About 12,340 retirees covered by the California Public Employees' Retirement System earn pensions of $100,000 or more a year. Some 115 have pensions exceeding $200,000 annually, although the figures do not include counties with their own pension systems such as Alameda and San Diego.
"If people begin to realize that they are working their entire lives to pay their taxes, to put their own kids through college, to save for their retirement and then see that their tax dollars are going to pay for 12,000 people to have $100,000 retirements and a number of people to have multi-hundred-thousand-dollar retirements, it's going to take those taxpayers getting upset to force the change that needs to happen in Sacramento," said Assemblyman Brian Jones, R-Santee.

I accidentally ran fsck on a mounted drive..... (by accidentally I mean I was basically asleep and didn't unmount it)
Now my server is broke. Luckily I have backups, but my last backup was back on the 9th. When I get back in front of the server later today I will simply unpack my tar.gz
My question is I want to exclude all Zimbra files from the extraction. I know I can use --exclude, but I want to make sure I exclude any file that Zimbra would use or at least the mailboxes.
Does anyone have any insight on excluding tar extraction on Zimbra mailbox or Zimbra in general?
--exclude='Zimbra'* (maybe?)

Records show runaway Calif bus had past violations
YUCAIPA, Calif. Government records show a runaway tour bus involved in a crash in Southern California that killed at least eight people recorded 22 safety violations in inspections over a year - including problems with brakes, the windshield and tires.
Inspection reports posted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration show brake issues were noted in at least three inspections since October 2011.
Stephen Keppler of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance - a group with industry and government members - says buses and trucks average about two violations for each inspection.
The records show the bus involved in the crash was flagged eight times for maintenance problems as recently as October.
Lettering on the bus showed it was operated by Scapadas Magicas of National City, Calif.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A runaway bus careened down a mountain road without brakes and the driver called out to passengers to phone 911 before a violent crash with two other vehicles that killed eight people and injured dozens of others, a surviving passenger said Monday.
However, the pleas by the driver were futile because no one had cellphone reception in the rugged area, passenger Gerardo Barrientos, 28, told The Associated Press.
The bus was carrying a group from Tijuana, Mexico, and heading home from a snow trip to the Big Bear Lake area of the San Bernardino Mountains 80 miles east of Los Angeles when it crashed into a sedan and pickup truck around 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
The cause of the crash remained under investigation.
Records showed the company that operated the bus had failed more than a third of federal vehicle safety inspections in the past two years.
Barrientos and girlfriend Lluvia Ramirez, who both work at a government hospital in Tijuana, spoke to the AP as they waited outside an emergency room at Loma Linda University Medical Center for word on a friend who suffered a broken neck.
Barrientos believed the bus reached speeds of 60 mph during the descent down the mountain that he estimated lasted five minutes before the collision.
"I saw many people dead. There are very, very horrendous images in my head, things I don't want to think about," he said.
Barrientos said he was uninjured and immediately began searching for Ramirez and the other friend, who were both ejected. After he moved them away from the bus to safety, he assisted the bus driver.
Ramirez suffered bruises and a hairline vertebra fracture.
"I was overwhelmed," she said. "I'm a surgical resident and I usually know how to react, but I was so in shock I didn't know what to do. I just stayed with my friend."
The crash left State Route 38 littered with body parts and debris, and the bus sideways across both lanes with its windows blown out, front end crushed and part of the roof peeled back like a tin can.
It occurred when the speeding bus rear-ended a Saturn sedan, flipped and hit a Ford pickup truck, said California Highway Patrol spokesman Mario Lopez.
Investigators will determine if mechanical failure or driver error was to blame. The bus driver, who survived but was injured, told investigators the vehicle had brake problems.
"It appears speed was a factor in this collision," Lopez said.
The National Transportation Safety Board was sending a team to the scene.
Lettering on the 1996 bus showed it was operated by Scapadas Magicas LLC, based in National City, Calif.
Federal transportation records show the company is licensed to carry passengers for interstate travel and that it had no crashes in the past two years.

1949 Ford F-1 - Olds 0-1?Written by on November 1, 2006 Charlie Kocher's Historic Hauler
When asked about his peculiar pickup's true origin, Charlie Kocher simply replies, "They made three Oldsmobile trucks-experimental. They were ordered destroyed, but Harley Earl took this one apart and smuggled it out to give to E.L. Cord. It's been hidden for all these years."
Even recent victims of turnip truck incidents ought to know that Oldsmobile never produced a pickup in 1950, let alone one as cool as this, so there's no use trying to pull a hoax. And that was never really the main intent of owner/builder Charlie Kocher, either-he simply had a collection of Olds parts and a '49 Ford F-1-but he'll be the first to admit it's definitely a lot more fun telling stories than the truth!
One day, he figured why not combine everything and create a truck that, had Oldsmobile actually produced such a thing, would pass for such an effort. And by the response he got from the truck's debut at the recent Goodguys Hershey, it's clear he done good. While the F-1 trade "marks" like the rear fender and cab lines are still intact, that front end treatment is pure rocket science, if you know what we're talking about, and it's what most likely lures the unsure in for more. A friend had a '50 Olds that, coincidentally, had enough spare parts for Charlie to morph the front sheetmetal on his F-1, which also included '47 Ford passenger car fenders and a '51 Chevy bumper. He studied the actual car for reference, but it was all the metal handiwork of him and Dan Meyers that made the surgery a success. The bedbox, which you may have been wondering about, was scratchbuilt from steel, with the Ford fenders narrowed 2 inches to better flow width-wise. And the top, which took as much, if not more, labor-intensive work as the front end, came down 4 inches, with 2 1/2 coming out of the crown (he added the same amount to stretch the cab). Charlie says it took three cabs just to make the one. The floor would ultimately be raised 4 inches in order to channel the cab over the chassis, a mid-'80s Chevy donor.
After Charlie and Meyers finished all the hard metalwork, Jimmy "Putty Buddy" Hines handled the bodywork, followed by Chris Judeikis (both from Paoli Auto Body) laying down the PPG Torch Red. To give the truck a proper mild custom touch, Charlie contacted Kelsey Tire for a set of Goodyear radial wide whites, which with their unique construction and detailed sidewalls seem like old bias-ply. Good old Fiesta stainless three-bar hubcaps were included for obvious reasons.
On the inside, things stay true to tradition with a red and beige tuck 'n' roll job by Roger Hoover, but there are a few modern amenities such as Southern Air A/C, a JVC sound system, Classic Instruments gauges, and a Gennie shifter controlling the 700-R4 tranny. Charlie went so far as to paint the Chevy 350 in a traditional Olds color, and even doctored up a set of no-name valve covers for visual effect.
Using some clever tricks, parts that had been lying around forever, and choosing the right players to help reach his goal, Charlie Kocher came up with much more than a center of attention, he simply created one cool truck no matter how you look at it. If Olds had made a truck, there's no reason why it wouldn't have had many similar traits. Can't you just picture an "O-1" now?

Celebrities dish on other celebs in 'Celebrity Autobiography'
(Page 2 of 3)
The original Celebrity Autobiography has played to sell-out audiences and rave reviews in New York since its opening in September 2008 when Charles Isherwood of The New York Times called the show "big-yuks entertainment" and a "merry compendium of the witlessness and wisdom of the rich and famous."
It was produced off-Broadway by Angelo Fraboni, now the Madison Theatre's artistic director, and won the 2009 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience, along with other honors along the way.
The show has been running for four years at Manhattan's Triad Theatre (now known as Stage 72), where it plays monthly, and now tours nationally and internationally.
This 80-90 minute reading of passages from celebrity writings brings into focus the minutiae of their daily activities, or even a look at their love lives, as in the case of Loni Anderson and Burt Reynolds.
It all reaches a climax with the ensemble finale that relates the love triangle involving Elizabeth Taylor, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. Their infamous memoirs have been edited together to create a Rashomon-esque playlet in the participants' own words. "It's acted out in an epic way that is funny and fascinating," says Pack.
"Their love story is told in such a unique way that it is not stand-up and not a play," Pack relates. "Audiences of all ages will be fascinated by this story and that it really existed."
For Pack's varied ensembles, the Taylor-Fisher-Reynolds triangle (as well as the rest of show) is a chance for his performers — celebrities themselves — to express their creativity and reveal a different side to their talents. "For the cast, it's an opportunity to bring out a side of themselves that audiences might not normally see," he says. "In this show we have cast that ranges from Melissa Manchester, who is known for her singing. to Rachel Dratch, a comedy treasure, to Steve Schirripa, who we associate with The Sopranos."

This application note describes how to patch OpenSSL* to use the OpenBSD/FreeBSD Cryptographic Framework (OCF) engine on Linux*. It then describes how to build an Apache* server on top of OpenSSL to use the OCF engine. Finally it describes tools for benchmarking/stressing OpenSSL and Apache.
Information in this document pertains to the Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor with Intel® QuickAssist Technology. The OCF driver enables OpenSSL to accelerate cryptographic operations using the integrated cryptographic accelerator.
Note: This document assumes that the kernel has already been patched for OCF support. Please see the Intel EP80579 Software for Security Applications on Intel QuickAssist Technology for Linux Getting Started Guide for instructions on patching the kernel for OCF.

The IT of GRC
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 179 Visits
We've discussed in this blog the role of IT in GRC, mostly in terms of how IT manages risk inherent in delivering IT services. But there's another risk that IT should be addressing, and that is the risk of disparate risk data marts scattered across the enterprise. I've written about it here.

I've been off for one complete week and am beginning to make some progress with my to-do list (which by the way, is a bit longer than the list I posted yesterday).
Tackled the closet. Yeah, it wasn't pretty … and it still ain't but I can walk in it now! There is a huge pile of clothes in the living room ready for this weekend's yard sale.
Washed t-shirts and purchased fabric (and tools) for the quilt.
When I started the process a couple of days ago, I discovered a way to make an easy cape! Isn't it terrific? (My friend laughed at me as I snapped this photo.) I am so ready for spirit days next year.
Frustrated with the quilt this afternoon. In place of the three missing t-shirts, I decided that I would iron on photos of myself at each of the races. Since iron-on transfers were a bit unruly, I damaged the 1/2 yard of knit fabric that I picked up today. Decided to chuck the iron-on transfer idea and will embroider the names of the races on the blocks. This will lengthen the time it takes to finish the quilt but I bet that I'll be happier with the results.
While searching for the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon picture for the quilt, I came across the following layout:
I made it at the first crop I attended in Torrance, CA. At the time, I was really into color blocking. And I feared the written word so much that my pages contained little to no journaling. I was happy with a title and photos.
As I go through my earlier work, I notice that my pages were all missing the story. The pictures tell a story but the details have faded from my memory. As my obsession with this hobby intensified, I began to write more. Writing continues to be a challenge for me.
Since reading Ali's one little word entry this morning and going through my old scrapbooks, my secret word for 2010 resurfaced. My goal for the year has been to tell my story through the written word. My secret word for 2010 has been writer. I haven't said it publicly or made a page about it but it lingers in the back of my mind.
And I've made progress. Writing is always a work in progress. And in order to get better at it, I have to write. My pages this year are filled with words that tell my story — from a a typical day in my life right now to how things compare back then and now. And I have been updating my blog more frequently. I will never be a stellar writer, but I am happy to be writing and telling my story.
Before I sign off, I'd like to leave you with a several more layouts I came across today while I cleaned:
The Making of a Superhero (2005) : A group of students and a couple teachers helped me make Phytochemical Woman, a superhero in the nutrition world, for our Annual Nutrition Fair.
The Process Continues … (2005) : Plastic fruits were all donated by students.

We are in the process of upgrading Zimbra 6 to Zimbra 7 and then to Zimbra 8.
Using a link to create a new Zimbra Compose Window using web URL, it appends %lt and %gt to the email address.
In Zimbra 6, we use following URL to compose a new Zimbra Mail:
https://domain.com/zimbra/mail?to=Some Name<email@example.com>&nss=1&redirect=0&view=c ompose#1
This works fine. I see 'Some Name<email@example.com>' in the To field of Zimbra Compose Window
When I try the same URL in Zimbra 7, I see 'email@example.com> Some Name<' in the To field of Zimbra Compose Window. Since > is getting appended to the email address, it becomes incorrect email address.
Has anything change in Zimbra 7 to use URL to compose a new Zimbra Mail? How do I pass Some Name<email@example.com>in the URL show that it is set in the To field?

Honda Motor Co. is recalling more than 405,000 vehicles to repair a glitch in the computer chip used in the airbag system. Most of the recalled vehicles are in the United States, where 318,683 Odysseys and 55,935 Acura MDXs are affected. A computer chip in the airbag control unit could malfunction when it receives electrical noise from other parts in the car, Honda said in a statement. As a result, driver and passenger seat airbags could deploy inadvertently.
Japan's Suzuki Motor Co. is recalling 193,936 Grand Vitara SUVs and SX4s cars because of a defective air bag sensor mat in the front passenger seat. The recall covers Grand Vitaras from the 2006 through 2011 model years and the 2007 through 2011 SX4 small cars. Sensor mats measure passengers' weight and determine if the air bag should deploy. Children can be hurt if the sensor cannot determine who is sitting in the seat. Suzuki will notify owners starting next month. Dealers will replace the mats for free.
Frigidaire is recalling some of its professional blenders because the blade shaft assembly can break, lacerating users.
Dorel Juvenile USA is recalling more than 89,000 child safety seats because labels showing how to install them could be wrong. The recall affects some Safety 1st Complete Air LX, Safety 1st Complete Air SE, Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite and Eddie Bauer Deluxe 3-in-1 convertible models. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says on its website that the rear-facing belt path installation arrows are wrong and could cause the seats to be installed incorrectly.
Children's Place is recalling some of its footed pajamas for failing to meet federal flammability standards.
Waterlogic is recalling some of its water dispensers for malfunctioning, which could possibly cause them to overheat and catch fire.
The Land of Nod is recalling some of its children's bed frames because they pose an entrapment hazard.

Financial Crises and Firm Performance: Lessons from the Mexican Crisis
Nov 07, 2012
Much research has been produced regarding the macroeconomic effects of crises, and on how these effects spread to different countries through contagion channels. However, there is a lack of information on the microeconomic repercussions of these crises. The intention of this conference is to bring up additional knowledge on how companies perform during crises, using as case study the Mexican crisis.
We argue that differences in performance relate to firm characteristics, such as capital structure and internal corporate governance arrangements. From the findings obtained, we derive a number of recommendations in order to reduce companies´ vulnerabilities to financial crises; a crucial topic due to the present situation at several European nations.
Karen Watkins obtained the PhD degree in Finance at Erasmus University Rotterdam. She has published several articles in international journals, and is the author of the book entitled ¨Macroeconomic crisis and firm performance¨. Prof. Watkins is affiliated to the Economics Intelligence Research Center and the Graduate School, at UPAEP Mexico. She is member of the Mexican National Research System and the EURO Working Group on Financial Modelling.

Hey Zsyd, Happy New Year..!
Can you please consider placing your "III VIOLINIST III" design on your DBH Collective store; I think its awesome and I would purchase the t-shirt in the blink-of-an-eye and I'm sure other will to.!
The moon is high in the dusk sky, the silence hurts and the gunslingers look like morbid statues, every thing under this light is a lapse of waiting that feels will last forever, there is no tomorrow, and past is just a shadow escaping from this moment, suddenly a sequence of fire break the silence, the black bird screams and many bodies fall inanimated, all is over just for one more day, tomorrow…tomorrow Black Bird will walk again with his eagle for companion and more shadows painting his face and dressing his heart.

Hi Francis,
My name is Jeremy and I am currently doing research on making custom t-shirt design more fun, productive and profitable.
As a graphic designer, what are the biggest problems you face on a day-to-day basis with trying to print out your custom t-shirts?
This is not spam and I am not going to try and sell you anything, I would just like to learn
about the pain points you experience in your profession.
I would love to hear back from you, even if it is only one sentence!
Kind Regards,
Jeremy Acosta
