Another FEMA forum grows heated
Residents express frustration over federal block grant restrictions

For the second time in the six months since Hurricane Sandy devastated Long Beach, the city invited representatives from the nation's disaster recovery agencies to a forum to address residents' questions and concerns. And for the second time, residents were unsatisfied with the outcome.

That meeting was a complete waste of time. If they were smart, they're wait until they had more information so they could actually answer people's questions. Instead, they got pushed against a wall by a very angry crowd.
Shame on FEMA for their lack of preparedness. I'm not shocked. They are the biggest, most disorganized group of people I have met so far.

"So if people don't have flood insurance, are they going to be put ahead of us?" asked one resident.
I find that comment extremely selfish. First of all NYS rising prohibits folks with vacation homes etc from applying. It is mainly intended for primary residences and it considers income.
Widows and orphans and elderly folks are usually the ones with no mortgage. Large parts of Long Beach was put in a flood zone as recently as 2009. These folks were never asked to get flood insurance during the 30 years they had a mortgage, after mortgage was paid off and FEMA decided that flood insurance is required for folks with mortgages FEMA made no effort or attempt to get these folks to sign up. Why, cause FEMA insurance only charges 1/3 the actual cost. Every new costumer comes at a loss to FEMA, FEMA is mainly interested in FHA backed mortgage loans flood insurance. Yes uncle sam owes your mortgage and wants to make sure the underlying collateral is properly insured. FEMA even stated if all folks not only folks with FHA mortgages in high risk areas signed up for flood insurance it would bankrupt system. So in effect the Widows and orphans and elderly folks subsidize the folks with flood insurance.
Now a guy in this article who got paid 60k while widow next door got paid 31.9K is begrudging her one chance to get some money for her house.
Folks with flood insurance are not really Sandy Flood Victims. Usually they are victims of a bad adjuster, bad insurance company, contractors who overcharged or FEMA policies. Nothing to do with Sandy. My next door neighbor spent 110K on house and only got 70K and was complaining about his insurance. Meanwhile I saw Servepro in there doing a rip out for 15K, expensive Mold Remediation work done, top of the line cabinets being replaces as they got a little wet etc. That is what ran most of bill up to 110K, I think he could have easily got it done for 70K. He is also applying to these fund to get his 40K owed.
Folks with flood insurance and financial means should be volunteering to let the widows and ophans with no flood insurance to front of the line for whatever scraps they get.

Hey jack Schnirrrrrmann, you are doing a real good job-lol! It is time for Long Beach to elect a mayor instead of a non-LB guy with an Ivy league degree who could not manage his way out of a paper bag....

Welcome to the Department of Communications
The multifaceted Communications discipline enables students in four distinctively designed concentrations – Emerging Technology, Mass Communications, Dramatic Arts, and Manhattan's General concentration - to identify and evaluate multiple principles of arts and media from historic and contemporary practical perspectives.
The Department of Communications stresses a hands-on approach to learning, and the department's faculty brings a blend of scholarship and professional training to the classroom. Communications students are passionate about the arts and are motivated to become relevant in the world around them, and in addition to traditional classroom activities, students will be given the opportunity to participate in both on campus and off campus internships, as the New York metropolitan area offers vast opportunities for Communications students within the film, television, live theater, and radio fields. Students who major in Communications may expect to be prepared for careers in areas that use speaking, writing, and dramatic skills, such as broadcast production, public relations, sales and advertising, acting, producing, directing, and more. The major, additionally, provides excellent preparatory skills for graduate studies success in Theatre, Film, Education, Ministry, Law, Business and all areas of Communication Arts.
Moreover, the Department of Communications is in conjunction with Warrior Media, a Nyack College collaborative effort between production students, faculty, administration and alumni. Warrior Media provides a variety of opportunities for Communications students, including WNYK Warrior Radio (a student-run campus radio station), online webcasting and a video production lab equipped with broadcast quality cameras and editing software.

North Texas Mean Green Football Schedule
The Conference USA is heating up and the North Texas Mean Green are ready for a solid season of football. You don't want to miss out on all the action because Apogee Stadium is gonna be nuts. North Texas Mean Green Head Coach Dan McCarney has his work cut out for him, so make sure you are there to watch all the action in person.

Football and tailgating with thousands of North Texas Mean Green football fans, what fun! You don't want to wait to get your tickets, so get 'em already!
With North Texas Mean Green Football tickets, you can experience the passion of college football first-hand. The NCAA football season doesn't come around often, so make sure you don't miss a home game or away game. We've got the best seats for the occassion. Plus, all tickets are guaranteed, and are generally 10 to 20 percent cheaper than the competition.
Sun Belt Conference football
The Sun Belt Conference can claim a number of talented football programs, and these teams always provide plenty of action. Make sure that you get out there and see what they have to offer because these teams mean business! The Sun Belt Conference is made up of Arkansas State football, Florida Atlantic tickets, Florida International tickets, Louisiana-Lafayette tickets, Louisiana-Monroe football, Middle Tennessee State football, North Texas football tickets, Troy tickets and Western Kentucky football tickets.
As one of the smaller conferences in college football, Sun Belt conference teams have to play extra-hard to be selling College Bowl Game tickets at the end of the year. The Sun Belt champ is normally invited to sell New Orleans Bowl tickets for one of the most traditional bowl games. And on special years, the Sun Belt representative gets to play in one of the major bowls. No, it doesn't happen every year, but should North Texas Mean Green Football be selling tickets to one of the major bowl you know the excitement will be through the roof. But fans still want to get BCS Championship tickets to see the best teams go at it. Others, depending on location, will want Orange Bowl tickets or Fiesta Bowl tickets to see all the hullabaloo that goes on there. Other fans are going to want Sugar Bowl tickets and Rose Bowl tickets because those two games are as American as apple pie. So Its not always easy in the Sun Belt, but despair not North Texas Mean Green Football fans, there is plenty of college football to be seen.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Flyers will be without
forward Wayne Simmonds for Saturday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
"Wayne will not play in tonight's game because of head and neck injuries
suffered in last nights game. He will be re-evaluated tomorrow," said Flyers
general manager Paul Holmgren prior to the contest.
Simmonds left late in the first period of Friday's 3-2 loss in Washington and
did not return after absorbing a hit to the head by Capitals defenseman John
Erskine was not penalized on the play and faced a disciplinary
hearing in New York Saturday afternoon.

I have one email address that is receiving hundreds and hundreds of bounced messages daily. At first I thought someone got a hold of his email password and was sending out emails using my SMTP server so I immediately changed his password. This started on a DirectAdmin box running exim. I then changed this domain over to my Zimbra box and set him up there. He was still receiving the bounced messages so I scanned his computer for viruses and he had a couple. I then figured (after much research) that it was an exploit in Outlook that was causing his computer to send out hundreds of spam messages and they were bouncing back to him.
I totally uninstalled Outlook and have him using the web interface for Zimbra and the bounced messages are still happening.
I know think that someone has spoofed his email address (if that is the correct terminology). I think they have configured their client with his email address so when they bounce, they go to him.
I don't know what to do. I came across DKIM and my understanding is that it will tag each email sent with a public key. In the case of a bounced message it would look for that public key and verify it with the server and if the public key is not valid or does not verify then the bounced message will be deleted instead of being sent through to his inbox.
Is this correct? If so...
I've been reading the following tutorial: Guide to Install OpenDKIM for multiple domains with Postfix and Debian
Are there any better ways to combat this?

I'm not a CC# user but I'm sure one will be along shortly to answer your questions.
Hello everybody,
I'm a brand new user of CC3. I find it very impressive! But I have some troubles for using it effectively. Maybe I'm wrong in my manipulations or I missed something.
First, I precise that I am French, and my English is not very good. So, please, excuse me if I'm not always understandable (
I'm trying to make my first map, and I some things are very confusing for my (I haven't the habit to use this kind of soft, ans some specialized terms are unkown for me).
I have a first serie of questions, and it will not be the last, I think ) Let's start, in no particular order:
- SYMBOL PLACEMENT: if I understand correctly, symbol can choose they own sheet when placing it (it's an option), but not their layer, so I must choose myself the layer befaore placing the symbol (logical : layer are my own classification of things). Am I right? [this was a source of a lot confusion ...]
- SELECTION TOOL: I understood that I choose a command first, then select an object then do it. But, I find very difficult to select objects. I read the tips from the manual (list, select by color, ID#, and so) but it is not all clear in my mind. I precise that I work on entities in std CC3 / SS1e filled catalog (those are bitmaps IIRC). So everytime I want to pick up precisely a thing, I select the action (ex. ERASE), then try to pick somthing (a tree or a mountain, these are hard to catch!) with a left click ... usually, I miss eveything (no pick) or I pick a lot of things, and usually not the one I want ... (lots of squares, far bigger than the bitmap image itself). Is it something I do wrong? There is some others tips? [in fact, if someone around is a French speaker, I will be VERY glad if he can explain me all the whole action & selection process in French ... I admit that it is very confuse because I don't fully understand the subtilities of English explainations]
- LAYERS and SHEETS:
- How I can move selected objects from a layer or a sheet to another, without copying it by the menu "copy to layer" or "copy to sheet"? I want to relocate some things, and the only solution I found is to make a copy to the intented layer/sheet then erase the previous selection in the original layer/sheet ... not optimal ...
- I have a problem on the map I made (see attachement). I have all my buildings in the STRUCTURES layer. Originally, I'va placed them in the SYMBOL DEFINITION layer by mistake, so I use the copy to layer then erase method (see above). Now the problem is: if I hide the SYMBOL DEFINITION layer, its hide the STRUCTURES layer as well ... (the same for VEGETATION) ... Any clue?
This is for now, but I have a lot of interrogations, especially on organization of tools (configuratioon of the catalogs, scales, etc.) and efficient method of drawing.
Let's see that another time.
I thanks you by advanced for the answers.
Kind regards.
P.S.: if there is any CC3 ressources in French, I'll take it ;o)
P.P.S.: I also post this on the Profantasy Software forum.
I'm not a CC# user but I'm sure one will be along shortly to answer your questions.

First, bravo on your English! It's clear enough, don't worry. I don't have a lot of experience with Layers and Sheets, so no help there.
But selecting objects is pretty easy. Though I've had exactly the problems you've had. It just takes getting used to.
First, try zooming WAY in, until you can visually identify the objects you want to select, as distinct from those you don't want to select.
Second, the select interface allows you to either click on the object, or create a selection box. Sometimes it's easier to do it with the selection box.
If you accidentally select something you don't want, you can shift-select and it will be subtracted from the selected set. Shift-select will also add something to the selected set, it's like a toggle.
To change something to another layer/sheet etc, there is a button (usually on the left) called CHANGE PROPERTIES. Click that button then select the ting you wish to change properties on. I.E. You made a nice lake, but you gave it the wrong FILL STYLE, put it on the MOUNTAINS sheet and on the VEGETATION layer. To change it, select CHANGE PROPERTIES, the click on the lake (to select it, click OK, and then from the menu, you can change the sheet, the layer and the fill style (as well as other properties)

Hello and thanks to all,
NeonKhnight, I didn'i realize that layer was a property of an object. It helps me a lot!
In fact there is a lot of thing that are properties in CC3, it changes me from others tools. I'll explore more others properties.
mattcolville, I've try you'r advice, but still I have problem selecting some objects. I thing that it is more linked to the nature of it than to the manipulations themselves. Bitmap objects have a invisible boundary that is not obvious to select and that overlap a lot around the picture itself (i.e.: beautiful bitmap mountains in SS1e catalog).
No reel problem with the standard ones for exemple.
Another question, just to but sure: for the problem of not viewing STRUCTURES and VEGETATION layers if I don't make the layer SYMBOL DEFINITION visible, I have deduced that it is some "special layer" that contain all the symbol definition (others identical symbol used are just some copies, as indicate in the manual). I found the confirmation in the help. So, I believe there is some few "special" layer, as the SYMBOL DEFINITION and MERGE, but I didn't find a list of these and what are their reel function. I appreciate explanations, and also where to find it in help or manual.
P.S.: for the little story, I purchased CC3 (and SS1 extention) to make maps for Dominions 3. So, this is not just an artistic creation, but I have some others constraints for the intendend use in the game (such as visibility, help for editing provinces afterward, etc.). I'm working right now on my first map. I'll post it here for critics and comments, if you permit of course.
You should be able to simply hide the appropriate LAYER to select certain items. A symbol can have a default SHEET(on overland maps often the SYMBOL sheet), but the layers are subject to your selections.

Food nourishes both your child's body and your child's mind. In the early years, the brain has some unique nutritional needs.
Although brain growth is well advanced by birth, your child's brain continues to grow and develop long after. There are literally billions of brain cell connections or synapses, still developing well into childhood. These brain cells have specific nutritional needs and missing out on a particular nutrient at the time when a part of the brain is growing can cause problems. A child's nourishment during the first years of life can affect the ability to learn, communicate, socialize and adapt to new environments and people. Making sure your child gets those particular nutrients needed during the first years of life will help to ensure the brain grows and develops optimally. Breast milk and formula are nutritionally complete and do not need to be supplemented for the first four to six months. Consult with your pediatrician as to the appropriate time for your baby to start solids. Then you will want to pay attention to make sure your child gets a good source of the 'brain' nutrients listed below.
Protein is crucial for the growth of brain cells during development. A young child needs about 11 grams of protein per day. Protein is most concentrated in animal products like meat, milk, and eggs. Concentrated vegetable sources of protein include soy, legumes, nuts and seeds.
The brain is 70% fat. Some fats are essential for proper brain function. Fats especially important to the brain are the omega-3 fatty acids. Food rich in these fats include cold-water fatty fish such as salmon, herring and sardines. Flax seed oil also contains significant amounts of essential fatty acids. Flax seed oil is destroyed by heat so use it fresh. Add to salads, cooked vegetables or stir into cereal.
Iron is critical for brain and nervous system development. Iron deficiency anemia in early life is related to altered behavioral and neural development. It is an important component of red blood cells that are responsible for carrying oxygen to the brain. Iron is the mineral most often deficient in the diet of older babies and toddlers. In general, your child should eat at least two iron rich foods each day. Fortified infant cereal is the best source of iron for babies and can be continued well into the toddler years. If your child enjoys infant cereals, do not rush to wean them from it, instead, make it more appealing by making it thicker or adding ingredients such as fresh bananas, raisins or a little brown sugar or honey. Toddlers and preschoolers can also get an excellent source of iron from Earth's Best Sesame Street cereals. Foods which are naturally high in iron include dark meat like beef, pork, lamb and dark meat poultry, dark leafy greens such as spinach, collard greens, parsley and watercress, raisins, dried apricots and egg yolks.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is necessary for vision. While not technically part of the brain, it is considered part of the nervous system. Vision, especially night vision, depends on proper amounts of vitamin A. Excellent sources of vitamin A include sweet potatoes, winter squash, carrots, apricots, spinach, and fortified dairy products.
B Vitamins
B vitamins are found in many different foods, including grains, meats, dried beans, and fortified cereals and snacks. These vitamins play numerous roles from supporting proper vision, unlocking the energy in carbohydrates, and supporting the protective myelin sheath around brain cells.
Many other nutrients play a supporting role in brain and neural development. For this reason, a diet with a wide variety of food is necessary for children.

Damn that's tempting ... even without the money.
My plates are so full :\
Yes, I want to be published!
No, mapping is a hobby, this sounds like a job.
Idea, a sponsored challenge for say August 2009...
Kaidan is my soon to be published setting and adventure arc. The initial campaign arc has all its maps, however, at the end of the summer I will begin creating a larger 1st - 20th level campaign.
I want a city map based on my May Challenge Entry: Tanaka's Challenge, (see Redrobes attachment at the end of that thread for all the maps put together.) Follow link to see the slice:
Use this slice to help you imagine the rest of that same town. Think of the castle at the southern central end of the map, and the rest of the town surrounds it in a roughly upsidedown U-shape. Use the May Challenge map to help you differentiate the various districts of the town.
I will post idea art pieces showing what a typical street looks like, along with some sample structures as a loose guide only.
Entries would not have to match the style of the May Challenge, in fact I prefer that you use your own style to create it.
As a sponsored Mapping Challenge, the winner will receive a $50 commission fee, and will have their map published in the first adventure of the next campaign, plus once published the adventure will be given as a free bonus.
As far as licensing goes, I will own the work under "All Rights Reserved", but offer a CC licensed version posted here for free downloads.
If this challenge suggestion is approved, I will post more specific details at that time.
EDIT: I entered 08-01-2009 for poll to close, but it reads 07-08-2009, which is a mistake, so I may extend the poll, on a different thread at that time (man, this suggestion is fighting me!)

Venus Public Transit, Map Of Ceres, Jack Vance's Ports Of Call & Lurulu ... why do I only have 3 maps here?
I've never made a city map, not even sure I could.. but I could try.
And getting published always looks good.
Sounds like fun!

Only seven voters so far? I'd thought this would generate more interest.
To make things easier, its more a town than a city, say 3500 people, at an average of 7 people per home, that's 500 homes, 100 shops, 3 temples and 2 shrines, 1 castle, 60 samurai homes surrounding the castle grounds with the most powerful retainers on the main avenue to the castle front gate. Districts needed are Samurai district, Trade District - the largest, Red Light District.
As in the May Challenge Map, a large river lies just east of the town, there are dockworks north of the challenge map area on that river. Also remember the mountain stream that passes along at least 2 sides of the castle (north and east) and originates from the north.
You don't the same fine detail the challenge map shows, just show your own level of detail in a large town map set in Kaidan.

Curious, I'l give it a shot. If my scanner works properly. Then just will colour it on the computer....
Tanaka's Challenge was pretty awesome and I'd love to see a challenge like this.
I'm wondering if we do this as a challenge, would you provide some samples of a style that you're looking for and then the main challenge would be to map in that style? I think it benefits everyone to try and learn new styles. The thing that I find the hardest to implement would be how to determine the winner...just one vote (by GP) or everyone votes and GP picks the one he wants anyway. I'm all for the idea of this, as people always want town maps, so I voted for this some time ago but just now had the above thoughts.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)
My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
In the real world, I, the "publisher" would contact a cartographer whose map style seems to fit my needs in the normal process of commissioning a map.
This is a Challenge, however, so normal rules applies. Once entries are done and deadline arrives, the community votes for their choices and the most votes wins the "commission". As a sponsored Mapping Challenge, the winner earns the $50 commission payment, with their map officially published in the first module of the next great campaign arc set in Kaidan. Finally free PDF of the module will be sent as a bonus (usually standard in the normal commission process.)
As the Challenge Sponsor, I do not get a vote - same no vote as when I was sponsoring the January '09 Challenge.
In the publication I will post a special notice to the CG, presenting the Map Challenge and the community selected winner in the front pages, so buyers will know - more than just the mention of who is cartographer.
I would definitely post some maps of various feudal Japanese cities including Kyoto and others (though much larger in population that what is needed for the adventure, it will show typical town layout, many straight long streets, yet still negotiating the local terrain.)
I'll also post prints of street scenes that show aspects of a Japanese town to try and emulate in each entry. Perhaps some photos of existing walls, canals, bridges and similar structures to gauge sizes, shapes, etc.
I would also post a very general town layout with notes regarding thickness of walls, etc. That would be the only direction provided.
Regarding a specific style, hmmm. You know, I am providing everything from hand-drawn to my photo-realistic map style throughout Kaidan, in a way showcasing my versatility. So I really don't want to hamper the number of entries by demanding a specific style that less are comfortable with.
Because of the proposed population of 3500, 500 homes, and 100 shops, plus castle and other specific required structures, that's quite a bit of work, even if somewhat moderate compared to larger fantasy cities.
Entries can be created with CD3, GIMP, Photoshop, Illustrator, Xara, whatever you're using now. They could be photo-realistic, line art individual buildings showing streets and alleys, or for the really ambitious it could be hand-drawn or tablet drawn creations. Any style that an entrant thinks he can create a great map.
Don't label the final map, but please provide some direction as to where the major required structures are located with copy of map with some labeling. I will provide borders and labeling for the final publication.
I don't want to be too restrictive.

text: By Russ PankoninThe Imperial Republican Senator Mark Christensen of Imperial wants the state to reimburse surface water irrigators in the Republican River Basin if they don't get water this year. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has issued a compact call on all surface water in the basin. That limits surface water irrigation districts in the basin to use only water stored before Jan. 1, 2013. That effectively reduces the amount of surface water that can be delivered by the irrigation districts to their users. To make matters more contentious, DNR issued an order for the districts to release downstream all the water stored in Bureau of Reclamation reservoirs from Jan. 1 to March 31. Christensen said this amounts to more than 13,000 acre-feet of water that must be released for eventual capture in Harlan County Dam. The largest release will come from Harry Strunk Reservoir north of Cambridge, totalling 7,548 AF. Another 3,232 AF was released from Swanson Reservoir near Trenton, 1,984 AF from Red Willow Dam north of McCook and 452 AF from Enders Dam. Christensen's priority bill, LB 522, seeks to give surface water users compensation of up to $300 per acre for the water they will lose due to the compact call from DNR. After meeting with DNR officials Monday, Christensen believes the only way the surface irrigators will get compensated for their loss of water will be through his legislation. He said the bill is likely to come up for debate next week sometime. Christensen said he faces a particular challenge because he represents both groundwater and surface water irrigators in his district. He doesn't believe it's fair for the state to shut off surface water to help keep the state in compliance with Kansas. He said groundwater irrigators don't face similar treatment. There's no way that's fair and I can't stand for that," he said Tuesday during his weekly teleconference call. As a result, he believes it's only fair for the state to pay surface water irrigators for their loss because their water is being used for a state purpose—compliance with Kansas. If drought conditions continue this summer or even longer, it can't be business as usual for any irrigator in the basin he said. He doesn't believe DNR is in a position to deal with such future circumstances. Irrigation District Worried Brad Edgerston, general manager of the Frenchman-Cambridge Irrigation District worries that his area's next corn crop has been jeopardized by the state order to tap reservoirs so Nebraska can send enough water downriver to Kansas. Edgerton wasn't happy with the state ordering extra releases from four federal reservoirs that collect tributary and runoff from the river basin. "And if the state can take our water this way, I don't know how we exist,'' Edgerton said. His district may be able to deliver to irrigators only two inches of water per acre during the growing season along one of its canals and 1.5 inches in another, Edgerton said. Typical releases have been eight inches. Jim Schneider, DNR deputy director said, "We don't know for sure that (the 13,000+ acre-feet) is a sufficient amount, but that's the start of what we're going to provide,'' said Schneider. Rain remains the key. Without it, Schneider said, the state may be forced to require additional releases from the reservoirs. (Associated Press reports were also used to compile this story.

TIMONIUM, Md. (WUSA) -- Officials with the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Baltimore County Department of Health are investigating after they say three people were hospitalized after getting liposuction at a cosmetic surgery center in Timonium. According to officials, one person died after being hospitalized.
Officials have closed Monarch Med Spa in Timonium while they investigated the cluster of severe invasive Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections. They say the three people had procedures there between mid-August and mid-September.
If you had any procedure at Monarch Med Spa recently and have had an infection, officials encourage you to talk to your doctor and notify your local health department.
Symptoms of Group A Streptococci (GAS) include
According to health officials, the bacteria is normally found in the throat and on the skin and is "spread through direct contact with mucus from the nose or throat" or "through contact with infected wounds or sores on the skin or by contact with contaminated surfaces."
For more information, click here: http://on.wusa9.com/Ujq1EK
According to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, in the past five years an average of 189 cases of invasive GAS were reported each year in Maryland. About 9,000 to 11,500 cases of invasive GAS disease occur each year in the United States. There are between 1,000 to 1,800 deaths per year.

Sanders: Filner has 'got to go'
Former mayor says successor has brought ridicule to San Diego
Former Mayor Jerry Sanders says his successor has "got to go" because the sexual harassment scandal has debilitated the administration of Mayor Bob Filner and brought national ridicule to San Diego.
Sanders, who now heads the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, stepped forward Wednesday on behalf of the business community to call for Filner to leave office.
"I don't care if it's a recall," Sanders said in an interview with U-T San Diego. "I don't care if it's a resignation. It's simply paralyzed (San Diego) right now and the city can't tolerate that. He's got to go."
Sanders left office in December because of term limits after seven years. He won praise and lofty approval ratings for overhauling city government following San Diego's well-publicized pension debacle of the early 2000s.
"What irritates me beyond belief is for seven years Republicans, Democrats, labor, business, residents and communities all worked together to get out from under the cloud of Enron-by-the-Sea," he said, referring to a headline in a New York Times article. "I mean that was really a team effort by everybody in San Diego. And in about six months this mayor's put us right back under that cloud of ridicule, only worse, on a nationwide basis. Nobody in San Diego deserves that."
Filner has refused to resign amid allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior toward numerous women, including eight who have spoken publicly about unwanted sexual advances such as kisses, groping and derogatory comments.
The Mayor's Office would not respond to a request for comment.
The developments continued to leave the Filner administration reeling Wednesday:
• Filner's legal strategy emerged when a letter his lawyer, Harvey Berger, sent to the city Monday was released through a Public Records Act request. The mayor is blaming the city for his alleged inappropriate behavior toward women because he didn't receive sexual harassment training within six months of taking office as required under the municipal code.
As a result, Berger said taxpayers should pay Filner's legal bills stemming from a sexual harassment lawsuit — a request the City Council has denied. Filner and the city are being sued by the mayor's former communications director, Irene McCormack Jackson.
• The two men behind separate efforts to recall Filner — LGBT Weekly Publisher Stampp Corbin and land-use consultant Michael Pallamary — met Wednesday and said there is a strong chance their efforts will be combined into a single recall petition. They tentatively planned a news conference for later in the week. "We have a common goal in mind," Pallamary told U-T San Diego.
Corbin agreed.
"I feel we are going to be able to reconcile our differences," Corbin said.
• Filner also said he will pay the nearly $10,000 cost for a June trip to France out of his own pocket. He had previously said it was covered by a nonprofit. It turns out the Organization of Iranian-American Communities isn't a charity organized under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) which would have allowed it to pay for the trip.
• The mayor canceled his monthly meet-and-greet session for August. He has allowed constituents to visit him one Saturday each month since he took office so he could listen to their concerns. Filner said he will begin two weeks of intensive behavioral therapy on Monday.
Business leaders have been largely silent since the scandal broke in the second week of July, preferring to take a wait-and-see approach after Filner tapped a well-respected administrator, Walt Ekard, to run the city's daily operations.
Sanders said the wait is over.
"What we found is that it hasn't helped at all," Sanders said. "I mean, Walt is great at day-to-day, but almost all the big issues are policy issues and the policy issues have remained in the Mayor's Office. Nobody can get through that at all. They're incapable at this moment of handling policy."

Anyone ever put a sprinkler on your roof to help out your A/C on unusually hot days? Just wondering if it helps.
I think you will just waste a lot of water compared to the cooling effect that you get.
A better way to cool the roof is to change its color. A roof with a clean, smooth bright white surface can reflect about 85% of incident sunlight and emit thermal radiation with 90% efficiency. This surface will be only 9°F warmer than the outside air on a typical summer afternoon. For comparison, the surface of a standard gray roof that reflects only about 20% of incident sunlight will be 69°F warmer than the outside air. See http://coolcolors.lbl.gov/.
Some buildings in California are now required to have light-colored roofs in order to reduce energy consumption for cooling.
I live in south texas, last week we had a terrible heat wave, temperatures outside where in the 110F-115F range, I installed a wireless thermometer on the attic and it read 130F on the hottest days. Ac would not cut off when set at 77. Went to home depot, got a set of 3 sprinklers that you can connect in series, I had an extra 24v solenoid water valve around and connected it to the roof sprinklers, I had to make a timer that would turn the sprinklers on for 10sec every 3 min (im an industrial engineer so making one was no trouble) and wallaa! Temperature read 98F on the attic when just a few days ago it was 130F with an outside temperature of 110F. BIG HUGE difference and guess what, my ac is cycling on/off finally on the hottest days! Im now running the system only at the peak sun hours of the day, I have no water run-off cause it all evaporates.
Seems like it would be a bit wasteful and not that efficient.
I'd imagine being on the roof, ambient temperature is much less of an issue then the constant sun exposure just baking the unit. Like when I get in the car here in TX sometimes, ambient temperature is in the 90s but the car baking in the sun says its 110+. If it were parked in the shade, it would read the normal temperature.
So I would think focusing on blocking as much sun as possible would be the best solution.
I'm picturing some sort of open sided mini roof structure, almost like a little car port over the unit or a well ventilated little shack built up around it.
These are just random crazy ideas of my own though, never heard of this issue nor a solution for it.
Plant an oak tree, wait 10-20 years, shade created, problem solved!
If this is for a building with windows that open, I'd think instead about sprinklers/lawn/misters at ground level - my house has no A/C but we get a reasonable north-south breeze, and if I turn on the sprinklers on the north side of the house and open the windows, there's a noticable cooling effect.
In high desert country, it's not unusual for restaurants with outdoor seating to install mist delivery systems to cool the outdoor areas during the hot parts of the day.
Ultimately, the value of evaporative cooling is going to depend a lot on the relative humidity in your location - where the air is dry, evaporative cooling works nicely. If you are in a humid location, there's already plenty of moisture in the air, so you're not going to get much evaporation, and correspondingly not much cooling.
I have heard of people using roof-mounted sprinklers as a last line of defense in high fire danger areas - not sure how well it really works.
Related to @Vebjorn Ljosa's answer, you could also install solar panels on your roof. Check out an organization called One Block Off the Grid (http://1bog.org/) if you are interested in putting solar panels on your own roof. 1Bog will help with getting a local contractor and depending on the state you live in, you could end up selling your energy credits back to other businesses for extra money.
The question was will it cool the house, and yes it will. As for efficiency, cost, etc.... I live on a lake and use a pump.
I live in southern Louisiana. In 2014 on a hot summer day i have checked the temperature in the attic and was 130°. I then applied a continuous sprinkle on the roof and the temperature in the attic was maintained at 85° with a outside temperature of 98°. It works and my AC started working much less.
It works for sure,especially on metal roofs. When continiously sprinkling a metal roof the roof works like a heat exchanger. You are carrying heat away faster than it comes :)

Ok. I'm now attempting my second install. My first install completed correctly and there weren't any errors. However it took an extremely long time on the Creating db... step. As I began investigating this I started searching these forums for clues. I don't have a lot of MySQL experience which is probably part of the problem.
I started off with a fresh install of RHEL4. As I stated my first install never errored but also didn't come out correctly. I've now uninstalled and restarted. I just started the install again and it is again taking what would seem like too long on the Creating db step. When i go and check in the install log I see a ton of what I believe to be errors that state - Too many open files in the system. This first occurs at a line that reads
/etc/profile.d/krb5.sh: cannot make pipe for command substitution : Too many open files in the system.
It then goes on to repeat this Too many open files in the system for just about every line there after. unicode_start, which-2.sh, less.sh, lang.sh.
Is this normal behavior?
It now made it past the Creating db... part. And is at the starting servers faze.

I (unfortunately) have to use MS Exchange at work for email and calendaring, and would like to ship the calendar to my Zimbra server holding my personal email - the end result is shipping the calendar and addressbook to my iPhone.
I have the Address Book syncing working just fine, but I cannot get the Calendar connector to sync my calendar. Right now I have a Macbook running Leopard and Entourage 2004, talking to an Exchange 2003 server. I have installed the connector off my Zimbra 5.0.10 server. Unfortunately, in the connector under the Advanced tab, 'Entourage integration' is greyed out.
Any ideas?

Was intense and crazy tonight. They played a nationally ranked team on national TV.
Just like we will Saturday. Their team is AWEFUL this year and they STILL brought it. (they have in their other games Ive watched this year too)
Should be a challenge to us ISU fans to see if we can start matching the crowd intensity that most every other school you watch on TV is bringing.
Eric Gordon playing against them also helped.
Im sorry but we have no where near the crowd of Illinois. Sell out every game, no matter what even if there is a snow storm. We have a LONG ways to go to even be up to the caliber of the Orange Krush.

Exactly we have a TON of work to do to make this place tough again. Im all about starting this Saturday!
i am so happy IU pulled it out! go Hoosiers!!!
I think one of the biggest things going for them is the students don't ***** and moan about having to wear their orange shirts to the game.
"But I don't want to have to wear what they tell me to wear. I'm an adult and I should be able to express myself the way I want. I'll still wear an Illini shirt, but don't make me wear the shirt they gave me to wear." We must be the only fan base in America that complains about that...

Yeah, their team is pretty bad, but they still come out and support the team. The student's are crazy about basketball. It does help a lot that they are near Chicago.

I agree with you, more or less. I wouldn't say our fans complain, but they definitely do not comply. It's amazing that we cannot seem to have a certain color be the majority in our crowd. When Penn State does their white-out games, I think it's absolutely amazing, but I also know that it would never happen here. I don't think we could ever have a large majority of the crowd wear the same color unless the shirts were put in the seat before the fans go there. Even then, people still probably wouldn't put them on.
Don't want to open a can of worms, but I wish our crowd could do things as one like that.
Assembly is considered one of the toughest places to play in America because of the Orange Crush... it is relentless no matter their record and no matter who they're playing. Gordon was icing on their cake last night... and that place is a big arena too (it's not like Duke who has one of the smaller gyms in America - I think <10k in seating)
Vitte, Dulcedo, Sipes
Maybe E. Gordon's family goes to all of his road games but, wow, why would they go to Assembly? They had to know they were going to get attacked. I'm surprised they didn't get more than just ice and beads thrown at them.
I'm not agreeing with that type of behavior by the Illini fans, but that's probably not the best situation you want to put you and your family in.
Thats why it is so BIG to be an orange t-shirt salesman, IN CHAMPAIGN!

It is important to check with your doctor before starting an exercise program during your cancer treatments, as there may be some days when you shouldn't exercise.
You should try to exercise at least 3 days per week during your treatment for cancer.
This is an important part of any exercise program. It is even more important if you are not used to exercising, if you have a heart problem or if you are older than 55.
In this part of the program, you should try to sweat. You will know if you are exercising hard enough if you use an exercise chart.
Use an exercise chart.
Try to work hard enough so that you are between 11 and 13
Borg-RPE-Scale® [PDF]
At the end of your exercise, you need to cool down your heart, body temperature and muscles. You should walk slowly for 5 minutes before stopping. If you have a heart condition, your doctor may ask you to cool down for more than 5 minutes.
During treatment, you should try to exercise 3 days each week. Each time, you should try to exercise for 30 minutes. If you have not exercised before, or you are having a lot of side-effects from treatment, you should start more slowly.
Exercise can help you get back to the activities you enjoy. Always check with your doctor before starting to exercise.
Your exercise program should change in a few ways after treatment has ended.
Borg-RPE-Scale® [PDF]
1. Subtract your age from 220. This is your maximum heart rate.
2. After sitting for a few minutes take your heart rate.
(HR max – HR rest) x .5 + HR rest = low end of training zone
(HR max – HR rest) x .65 + HR rest = high end of training zone
For example, I am a 60 year old woman who has finished treatment for colon cancer. I talked to my doctor about exercise and she says that I can and should start a program.
My maximum heart rate is: 220-60 = 160.
I count 78 beats at my wrist in 1 minute. This is my resting heart rate.
My training zone is:
(HR max – HR rest) x .5 + HR rest = low end of training zone
(160-78) x .5 + 78 = 119
(HR max – HR rest) x .65 + HR rest = high end of training zone
(160-78) x .65 + 78 = 131
After my 5 minute warm-up, I will walk faster. When I walk faster, I will take my heart rate. My goal is to have my heart rate between 119 beats/minute and 131 beats/minute. If my heart rate is between these numbers, I am walking at the right speed to get the most out of my exercise program.
If my heart rate is less than 119 beats/minute when walking, I should Walk Faster.
If my heart rate is more than 131 beats/minute when walking, I should Walk Slower.
If you have gotten chemotherapy to treat your cancer, you must talk to your doctor about exercise. Each type of chemotherapy is different in how if affects your body. Some days, your doctor might ask you not to exercise because of low blood counts or fever. Some side-effects of chemotherapy that may affect your exercise are:
Low platelet counts (Thrombocytopenia)
Tingling in your hands or feet (Peripheral neuropathy)
Food and Weight Loss
Radiation therapy is a common treatment for cancer. Most people who have radiation feel tired. Exercise can help you deal with feeling tired and give you more energy.
OncoLink has a large section on cancer related fatigue, with helpful tips and information.
Radiation and the sun. You are more likely to get a sunburn during and after radiation therapy. Talk to your doctor about skin protection. You may want to exercise in the morning or in the early evening so that you are less likely to get a sunburn.
If you got whole body radiation therapy, you should be careful about exercising in hot weather. Your body may have trouble getting rid of the heat you make during exercise, which can be dangerous. Dress in light clothes and exercise in the morning or early evening. Talk to your doctor about when and how you should exercise.
Some cancers affect the bones in the body, making them weak. Other times, the treatment you get for cancer can cause the bones to be weak. Exercise, if done right, can help to strengthen your bones.
Cancers that MAY affect your bones are:
It is important that you talk to your doctor about the health of your bones.
Your doctor may tell you it is safe to exercise.
Your doctor may ask you to stop exercising until after treatment has ended.
You doctor may tell you not to use heavy weights for strengthening.
Talk to your doctor about an exercise program
Do something that you find is fun and makes you happy
Find a partner
Talk to someone who has had cancer
Listen to music while you exercise
Do different types of exercise
Seek out an exercise specialist who knows about cancer
Set goals that you can reach
Be kind to yourself
Exercise Survey for People with Cancer
We know a lot about exercise in the general population, but are still learning about exercise in the person with cancer. After you read one of the articles below on OncoLink about aerobic and strength training during and after cancer treatment, please consider filling out a brief survey.

I think the RMEF and MDF are good organizations.
Theres a very good read on bowsite. If any one is interested. It really opened my eyes. I didnt have a clue.......
Not a fan of their tag grab tactics. There are some bills in the Idaho Senate right now that reek of SFWs "tags for the rich" underhanded fundraiser m.o. There stance against the bill that gave Idaho and Montana control of wolves was almost as bad as the fact that now they are attempting to claim they were instrumental in "greasing the wheels " to get it through.
Well, I guess today marks the high tide mark. Today was the first time in 15 years I decided not to respond to a guy who I could give some good advice to. He posted on this forum that he drew a Book Cliffs elk tag at the SLC Expo. I participated in that hunt the right way. In doing so, he chose to support SFW and no way in hell will I compromise my feelings towards them.
Just kidding (mostly). I have to agree with you Zim. I have a question though, how do you feel about Land Owner Tags sold to those willing to pay big time? Just wondering if it is any different. I can see it both ways I guess. I hate like heck that there is a way to get a tag if you are willing to pay enough for it, but I know landowners in the west often times feed the dang animals all year, have crop damage, fence damage, wolf damage, etc that hardly gets covered in keeping with real expense, so I have a hard time holding it against them. It still stinks because if you are a person of modest means (like me and most of you) then it makes it very difficult to hunt most places in the west (the same as impossible in some places).
On top of that, what about "special" tags (like Wyoming's)? Isn't that close to the same? At least there the money stays in the conservation entity responsible for managing the resource, and some of it has to go to HMA and WIHA access (I hope any way). Not to mention it doesn't assure yo uof a tag.
Complicated issues.

In a written statement, Colethia Williams denies murdering her three children, but offers no details on where she was when a fatal fire broke out.
Williams faces a felony murder charge after three of her four children died in house fire in February.
Her attorney Reza Sedghi sent 13WMAZ a statement on Williams' behalf Thursday morning. It is her first statement since being charged with murder in the case.
Here it is in its entirety:
"There are no words that can describe the grief and pain that my client is feeling at this moment. Colethia deeply cared for her children and raised them by herself without any help. She was thrilled when she was able to finally get approved to purchase a house on James Street where they could live. It is extremely tragic that three of her children lost their lives because of a fire that consumed the house. We are thankful to God that one of her children is alive and doing well. It is also equally tragic that the District Attorney's office has chosen to charge her with murdering her children, a crime that she did not commit."
Williams made her first appearance last week in front of Judge Jane Reeves. Reeves said she denied bond due to the charges against her.
Police say Williams was apparently not home when the fire broke out around 1:30 a.m., on Sunday, Feb. 24.
The fire happened on James Street in Macon.
Three children died: Daija, age 7; Nykhiya, age 10; and Jammarian, age 9.
The fourth child, 3-year-old J'Lon, suffered burns and was taken to the Augusta Burn Center for several days.
Williams faces three counts of felony murder, four counts of child cruelty in the second degree and one count of felony false statements.
Fire Chief Marvin Riggins said he believes the fire on James Street was accidental. It apparently broke out in a room where nobody was sleeping.

A week after saying he opposed legislation in Congress to stop tolls on I-95, Democrat Congressman G.K. Butterfield told a group in Halifax County that he opposes the tolls.
Butterfield met Tuesday with leaders in Halifax County to discuss their concerns with the proposed tolls for $4.4 million worth of repairs and upgrades.
Butterfield says, "The tolls are just fundamentally unfair to the people of this region who use that highway everyday to go to and forth from work and to conduct their business."
Last week Republican Representatives Renee Ellmers and 3rd District Congressman Walter Jones introduced a bill "No Tolls in North Carolina Act of 2012" to prevent the Federal Highway Administration from approving a pilot program that would add tolls in order to pay for its expansion. They say our highways need to be updated, but residents shouldn't bear the burden. Congressman G.K. Butterfield said he opposes the legislation.

WASHINGTON – Repairs on the Silver Spring Transit Center are finally under way, but there's already a kink: a dispute over how the repairs should be done.
Last week, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority sent a letter to Montgomery County's contract administrator Ernest Lunsford, objecting to the county's latest approach. WMATA Deputy General Manager Robert Troup says the method of repairing a section of the project – the "pour strips" – isn't sufficient.
"If resolution cannot be achieved then the County is considered to be on its own," Troup wrote.
"Under such a scenario, the County must commit to fixing future structural issues and perform requisite maintenance," Troup later added.
The Montgomery County Council will be getting an update on the project Tuesday during its regularly scheduled session.

GREENSBORO, October 28, 2013 - The North Carolina A&T freshman running back Tarik Cohen (5-8, 170, Bunn, N.C.) was named MEAC Offensive Player of the Week the conference announced on Monday.
It marked the second time this season Bunn has been recognized as a player of the week.
Cohen rushed for 210 yards and three touchdowns in the Aggies 20-13 overtime win over Florida A&M on Saturday.
Cohen averaged 6.6 yards per carry and ran the ball on all four of the Aggies' overtime plays and scored the winning touchdown on a 7-yard run.
Cohen came needing 157 yards to earn the Aggies single-season freshman rushing record, previously held by Barry Turner at 556 yards in 1990.
He now has 610 yards and four touchdowns on the season. He has started the Aggies' last three games and has compiled a combined 481 yards in those games.
Cohen and the Aggies will host Virginia University of Lynchburg 1 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2 for their 2013 Homecoming game at Aggie Stadium.

If you are a subscriber, you can get on the site here and look at backissues of the MRS and figure out any state you want and see what last year looked like. I'd skip the application services and just do it yourself. I put mine on a credit card for the states that require upfront fees. Realistically, it would be hard to learn every state in one year. Sounds like you have Wyoming down. This year, you can add New Mexico - no points, straight lottery. Utah is pretty easy, I just picked that up last year. Montana is another one with long odds where the premier species are easy to apply for. I do all those and buy Colorado points. I will probably start applying in Arizona this year for the first time. It can be initimidating to start learning a state, but once you dive in and do it once, its very easy thereafter, just gotta get in there.

The 16th Annual Shepherd of the Hills ShowWritten by on January 20, 2014 Super Summer Cruise
If you'd like to add a little automotive enthusiasm to your summertime vacation schedule, we have just the location for you. Branson, Missouri, is loaded with dozens of diverse entertainment opportunities ranging from acrobats to zip lines with hundreds of options in between. Reasonably priced live shows are available from early morning to late at night. Attractions like the famous Silver Dollar City amusement park are family friendly and everyone will enjoy the delightful dinner cruises aboard the Branson Belle.
While there are hundreds of choices in this entertainment-oriented town, one of the best for the automotive crowd is the Shepherd of the Hills Annual Super Summer Cruise. Now in its sixteenth year, the event attracts a diverse group of custom vehicles to the picturesque 16-acre mountaintop show site. Fortunately, the historic homestead is easy to find, thanks to the 230-foot-tall Inspiration Tower that has become a landmark on the Branson horizon. You can see it from just about anywhere in town and the short trip is worth the drive.
Pass through the gates, park your vehicle, and hop aboard the free shuttle to see the amazing collection of custom vehicles parked along the homestead's twisty mountain paths. Open to all vehicle types, this year's show featured a cool gathering of classic trucks along with vendors, a specialty gift shop, snack bar, and a local dance group (now state champions!) entertaining the crowd. Perhaps one of the most unique options at the show, however, was the breathtaking view of the Ozark Mountains from the Vigilante Extreme ZipRider, towering 170 feet in the air and transporting enthusiastic riders at speeds in excess of 50 mph for more than a half mile.
Back on solid ground, the Saturday afternoon awards presentation sent lots of drivers home with unique reminders of the fun in the Ozarks, but that wasn't the end of the event. Local police stopped traffic at midnight Saturday night and thousands of cheering spectators lined the roads to see the annual parade of custom vehicles motoring through downtown Branson. If you'd like to enjoy a great blend of automotive excitement and unique tourist options, put the Shepherd of the Hills Super Summer Cruise on your August schedule. Visit www.supersummercruise.com for more information.

The winding trails of the homestead were the perfect display opportunity for the vehicles at the event and added to the show's charm.The Shepherd of the Hills is a widely read novel depicting the early lives of people of the Ozarks. As a literary work, it served as a catalyst that spurred the growth of tourism in Branson.Sporting a satin black paintjob and chopped top, this 1937 Ford is the perfect shop truck for Bowzer's Garage.Besides visiting with other like-minded classic pickup owners at the show, Jimmy Didlott spent lots of time under the hood of his 1964 Chevy taking care of some last minute detailing his decked out small-block Chevy.
Lots of folks know about the Bearcat, but few know that Stutz also built fire engines. And what's a car show without an antique fire engine?We found Jonathan King's way-cool two-tone 1970 Chevy C10 nestled among the winding paths of the Homestead.Though there's ample argument from the Chevy guys, the 1953 to 1956 Ford F-100 is still the epitome of classic trucking. Wayne Bradford's slick 1955 is a great example of why the Ford owners believe this is so.Early risers spend a bit of time before the spectator gates open up to get some detailing done. Here we see Randy Marti wiping the morning dew from his 1968 Chevy C10.
Sporting a glass-smooth two-tone paintjob, this highly polished 1959 Chevrolet El Camino owned by Larry Snyder is a stunning example of the increasing popularity of these good looking classics.One of the most unique trucks at the event, Tim Winston's 1953 Chevy bristled with innovation, complete with a full Cadillac drivetrain, custom interior, and unique Cadillac body mods.Speaking of riding high, "No more snow days!" was the theme of this go-anywhere, ultra-cool, school bus.Exemplifying the Ozark sense of humor, "Speedy Spreader" is a high-performance 1947 International manure spreader!

I just wanted to update everyone on the problems I was having earlier('http://www.zimbra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5316&highlight=bad+file+descripto r') with a bad file descriptor error whenever amavis checks an incoming mail message.
The cause wound up being with perl. I had a long-ago set variable in my /etc/profile, PERLIO=stdio. This was causing the problem. Unsetting this variable allowed amavis to work without errors. In addition, Mark Martinec, one of the amavis developers, has filed a bug against perl for a similar problem.
I hope this helps someone out along the line.

Leaked video of U.S. troops in Iraq shooting civilians that were mistaken for insurgents caused a WikiLeaks spokesperson to compare the footage to a videogame.
The footage in question, which can be viewed here if you have yet to see it (warning, it is graphic) shows a pair of Apache helicopters circling a group of people on the streets of New Baghdad in July of 2007. A Fox News report states that the choppers were responding to reports of AK-47 fire in the area. The group of 9-12 people included a pair of Reuters journalists.
U.S. troops apparently mistook cameras and photography equipment for weapons and eventually open-fired, killing an undetermined amount of people, including the two Reuters photographers. A Pentagon spokesperson called the attacks justified and told Fox News that, "The individuals who were killed, apart from the Reuters journalists, were involved in hostile activity."
Reuters had been attempting to acquire the video, unsuccessfully, through the Freedom of Information Act.
In presenting the video at the National Press Club in Washington, WikiLeaks Julian Assange stated, "The behavior of the pilots is like they're playing a video game. It's like they want to get high-scores in that computer game."
Earlier this year, WikiLeaks claimed that its members were being harassed by the U.S. government. The group also recently uncovered a purported document (PDF) authored by the U.S. Army Counterintelligence Center referencing it, which was titled, WikiLeaks.org — An Online Reference to Foreign Intelligence Services, Insurgents, or Terrorist Groups?

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -- Brought down by a bum deal on a movie studio, the Detroit suburb of Allen Park has become the latest Michigan city with an emergency financial manager.
Treasury officials appointed Joyce Parker on Thursday. She starts Monday.
Parker's also emergency financial manager for nearby Ecorse.
Michigan says Allen Park's general fund balance dropped from $3.7 million in June 2010 to $505,000 a year later.
Allen Park issued bonds in 2009 to finance land acquisition for a movie studio. The state says the city paid about $11 million more than the property had been valued.
The studio bombed, leaving Allen Park with annual $2 million debt service payments.
Benton Harbor, Ecorse, Flint and Pontiac and the school districts in Highland Park, Detroit and Muskegon Heights also have emergency financial managers.

Stories about roads and journeys are as old as humankind. One of the earliest "on the road" stories was Homer's Odyssey, from 800 B.C.E., the story of Odysseus' journey home after the Trojan Wars.
From Homer to Dante, Xuanzang , Marco Polo and Cervantes to Halliburton, to Kerouac, Durell, Theroux, Iyer, writers have taken their readers along on their roads, whether the journey is fiction, non-fiction, or a combination of both.
The words, "on the road", can mean many things. To the salesman, it is a time away from home trying to sell products. To the explorer, it means setting off on an adventure. A road trip for athletes means that they're playing in a different city. To a homeless person, being on the road means the search for food and shelter. To a Buddhist, the road may symbolize the path to enlightenment. For refugees, the road is an escape route and symbolizes hope and safety.
Near the Afghan/Pakistan border
"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail" – Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began,
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
– Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien


text: Good ole 7.5 min Quad maps should show you the detail your looking for if you get the right ones. They show springs, stock ponds, mines, two-tracks, etc. They won't show any land ownership unless it's like forest service boundaries or something like that. I know in Wyoming, you can go online to the state USGS site and look at the state wide index map and figure out which ones you'll need.

Perhaps some may think I'm overreacting but I think Ghost has lost his mental toughness. I was wondering if you all agree with me in thinking if there are other viable options out there then we should part ways with him.
He cost us at least one game last year that i can recall easily (Cardinals) and I believe was bad in a few more. I honestly don't trust this guy with the game on the line and as critical as field goals are I think he will blow a game or two this year which could mean the difference in our season.
Any undrafted guys worth giving a look?
