Hello all,
I know I should not have done both (upgrading server and adding a new IP address) at the same time, but I have this problem now and I don't know exactly which one is the cause.
The server was working correctly behind firewall with public ports forwarded to it, Zimbra version was 8.0.0 upgraded to 8.0.3.
The upgrade was completed without issues and we decided to add a direct external IP address to the server to solve a problem with mobile access.
I simply added another interface, adjusted DNS entries, pointing now directly to the server instead of the firewall, and at first everything seemed to work.
Users can't send emails to any external address, message returns with (Recipient address rejected: Access denied), in zimbra.log I see the following sequence:
Sender address triggers FILTER smtp-amavis
Recipient address rejected: Access denied
Sample log: server-xxxx postfix/smtps/smtpd[20447]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from estacao-100.xxxx.xxxx.org.br[000.000.000.000]: 554 5.7.1 <email@example.com>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied; from=<email@example.com> to=<firstname.lastname@example.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<ESTACAO100>
What I did already:
Edited MTA trusted networks and added new server network
Edited /opt/zimbra/conf/opendkim-localnets.conf and added server networks
Additional information and symptoms:
In admin console, in server status now I see 2 servers, the correct one and localhost with all services with failed status.
Everything else is working.
Server: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Zimbra: 8.0.3_GA_5664.FOS
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Solved, found that internal users with were not using authentication, shame missing this one, Zimbra 8.0.0 allowed this setup for internal network, 8.0.3 dont't.

Letters to the Editor: East Rockaway, Lynbrook
(Page 2 of 2)
The American Camp Association of New York and New Jersey is giving out hundreds of camp scholarships through its Heal the Children program to children affected by the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.
This program is a wonderful opportunity for families and children are still trying to regain a sense of normalcy in their lives. I applaud the American Camp Association for its generosity in giving these children, who have weathered many difficulties, a chance to enjoy the summer months.
The association of New York is working with local relief agencies to identify children in the most devastated regions who would benefit from a summer camp experience through the program. To be eligible for the Heal the Children program and to receive a camp scholarship, families must meet the following criteria:
Combined household income of $90,000 or below;
Loss of primary residence for 90 days or more; and
Income cut by half or more for almost three months.
For further information on applying for the scholarships, please call the American Camp Association at (212) 391-5208.

Plymouth Oil Company Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
(Merrill) -- High grain prices and high transportation costs have forced Plymouth Oil Company of Merrill to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Dave Hoffman of the Plymouth Oil Company says the board felt this was the best move to pay off their debts.

The papers were filed in Plymouth County on July 23rd. Hoffman says Plymouth Oil had hoped to obtain corn germ from their neighbors next door, Plymouth Energy, but those plans fell through.
(sot) Hoffman bankruptcy2
Hoffman says the plan is to keep operating, and to keep paying bills. The plant started operations in February of 2010. It specializes in producing food grade products from corn, such as corn oil for cooking purposes. Hoffman says the decision was in the best interest for the investors and for the creditors.
School Board Discusses Hiring Policy
(Le Mars) -- In last evening's school board meeting, the Le Mars Board of Education reviewed and discussed the hiring procedures conducted by the Le Mars community School District. Dr. Todd Wendt, superintendent of schools, presented the board with a manual detailing how the district advertises an open position, how team members are given training and assist with the interview process, how candidates must meet a certain criteria in order to be considered. No action was taken on the proposed hiring manual during last evenings meeting, as board members expressed an interest of including additional information. The school board discussed the federal law of "No Child Left Behind" and how it would affect the Le Mars school district since Iowa was not given a waiver on the law. Dr. Wendt told the board, he believes the school district will be in a good position, and it is his belief that more attention may be directed to the new Iowa Common Core. The board also discussed the dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremonies being planned for next Monday, August 20th for the completion of construction for the Phase II project. The ribbon cutting ceremony will start at 5:00 p.m. followed by a tailgate party at 5:30 p.m. Self-guided tours will begin at 6:00 p.m. and the introduction of autumn activities and participants will occur at 6:30 p.m. and self guided tours will continue at 7:30 p.m.
Supervisors To Discuss Bargaining Contracts
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Board of Supervisors will hear a report during today's meeting regarding bargaining unit contract discussions. The report will be presented by Kirk Hatting of the Sheriff's Department Employee Association. Also on today's agenda is County Engineer Tom Rohe, who is expected to discuss with the board a gravel contract with Knife River, as well as an application for traffic safety funds for the intersection of County Road C-38 and K-42.
Floyd Valley Trustees To Meet
(Le Mars) -- Floyd Valley Board of Trustees are scheduled to meet this evening, and on their agenda will be discussion on the proposed north side addition. The hospital trustees will review the latest quarterly Press Ganey Satisfaction survey, approve some capital acquisitions and hear updates from Hospital Administrator Mike Donlin. The trustees are expected to review and approve the June financial statement, and look at the July statistics.
Food "Cash Mob" Scheduled
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Chamber of Commerce has announced that Thursday, August 23rd will be the date for the next "Cash Mob". This time around, a downtown food establishment will be selected as the "cash mob" scene. Those downtown businesses eligible include the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor, Fareway, Habitue Coffeehouse and Creperie, Hugo's, and Pizza Ranch.
Crop Conditions Show Slight Improvement
(Des Moines) -- For the first time in weeks, the weekly crop condition report actually showed some improvement. The improvement was noted in the soybeans, as rains fell on the state during the past week. Soybean condition is rated as 14 percent very poor, 23 percent poor, 38 percent fair, 24 percent good, and only one percent of the state's soybean crop is rated as excellent condition. More than half the state's corn crop is rated as being poor to very poor condition.
Obesity Rates Growing
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A federal report says 29 percent ofIowa's adults are severely overweight.
The report issued Monday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Colorado had the lowest figure, at just below 21 percent, while Mississippi had the highest at nearly 36 percent.
Iowa's neighbor to the west, Nebraska, had a rate of 28.4 percent.
Catherine Lillehoj of the Iowa Department of Public Health says the 2011 statistics aren't directly comparable to previous numbers because of changes in collection methods.
Lillehoj says there have been dramatic increases in obesity across the nation, mainly because of poor diets and lack of exercise. Obesity is often accompanies by health problems, including diabetes and heart disease.

LANDOVER, Md. (WUSA) -- Tickets for the regular season finale, pitting the Washington Redskins against the Dallas Cowboys, are selling quickly.
"It's the biggest thing we've seen in the Washington area," said broker Danny Matta of greatseats.com. "The tickets are drying up."
Thursday, standing room only tickets were priced at $300.
Some sideline seats are already on another online seller, stubhub.com, close to $10,000. Even parking passes for the now Sunday night game at FedEx Field are going at a higher-than-normal rate.
But some true fans refuse to sell, for now. Bryce Strahorn of Fairfax, Va., put a non-listing on Craigslist, telling sellers: "Stop talking about how this is the biggest game in a decade. Go to it. Support your team, instead of trying to make a few dollars."
Strahorn, whose brother is a Cowboys fan, wants to see as much burgundy and gold in the stands and hopes the Skins take the title of the NFC East Division champion.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Mired in a 10-game losing streak and with
their fading playoff hopes hanging on by a thread, New Jersey got the game it
needed from its best player.
Martin Brodeur turned aside 23 shots for his 121st career shutout as the
Devils took a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday.
New Jersey hadn't won a game since March 23rd, which was Brodeur's 666th
career victory. At the time, the Devils occupied the seventh spot in the
Eastern Conference, but now the team is on the outside looking in as they are
six points back of the Rangers with five games to play.
Ryan Carter, Matt D'Agostini and Adam Henrique scored the goals for the
Devils, who came into the game having been blanked by Toronto and Ottawa.
The Flyers, meanwhile, came into the contest having won two straight in an
attempt to claw their way into a playoff spot, but this loss has all but
eliminated the team as they are seven points back with four games to play.
Ilya Bryzgalov gave up two goals on 30 shots in the loss.

AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says the Obama administration is "absolutely" ready for the economy to go over the "fiscal cliff" rather than accept a budget deal that doesn't include higher taxes for top earners.
Geithner says the administration thinks budget deficits are so large that they can't be closed without boosting tax rates on the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans.
He also says in an interview on CNBC that the administration would reject a budget plan that didn't include an increase in the federal borrowing limit. That limit is expected to expire early next year.
Geithner says he still thinks progress is being made in the budget negotiations and that the outlines of an agreement are becoming clearer.
"They look inevitable," he says.

Associated Press Release
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities in Florida say a former professional wrestler faces murder charges in the stabbing death of a woman at a Tampa apartment complex.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's officials say the woman was stabbed Wednesday night and the suspect fled. Twenty-nine-year-old Brian McGhee's vehicle was spotted in Tampa and authorities began pursuing him.
Authorities say McGhee crashed his vehicle late Wednesday during the pursuit near Interstate 75 in Pasco County. The woman died of multiple stab wounds early Thursday.
As a wrestler, McGhee went by the moniker "The Future" Donovan Ruddick. He worked for World Wrestling Entertainment from 2010 to 2012.
McGhee's was taken to a Tampa hospital after the crash.
A photo of what appears to be a bleeding arm or leg was posted Wednesday night to a Facebook page under McGhee's name.

Testimony :: Robert Templer
Asia Program Director - International Crisis Group
Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman and Commissioners, for the opportunity to speak to the Committee on the role – and potential role – of the OSCE in Central Asia.
I'm here as the Asia Program Director of the International Crisis Group (ICG), a private multilateral organization working through field-based analysis and high-level advocacy to prevent and resolve deadly conflict. ICG's Central Asia Project, based in the city of Osh in southern Kyrgyzstan, has five analysts working across the region, reporting on a range of issues relating to conflict prevention. Last month ICG released a report titled The OSCE in Central Asia: A New Strategy, based on extensive research in Central Asia and at the OSCE headquarters in Vienna. This report outlines a new approach that ICG believes the OSCE should adopt in Central Asia and also makes recommendations on reforms to the OSCE that we believe would improve its performance.
The Central Asian nations that emerged from the collapse of the Soviet Union were among the original members of the OSCE but these countries have fallen behind most other participating states in the development of democratic systems and open economies. Indeed these five countries frequently flout the commitments to democracy and human rights that are the foundations of the organization. These states are mostly controlled by very small elites and have weak, highly corrupt bureaucracies. Rapid declines in living standards have led to considerable disaffection in the population. Human rights violations are common and many minorities live with the fear of abuses and violence. Political and economic exclusion has provoked some people to turn towards radical Islamist movements. In short, the region is crying out for greater involvement by the OSCE in the development of more open and tolerant political systems.
The OSCE has been active in the region but has struggled to overcome a number of obstacles. These include:
· The difficult political environment presented by participating states that have little interest in opening up their political and economic systems. Uzbekistan, for example, has shown a low regard for the OSCE which it sees as focusing excessively on human rights issues. Senior OSCE staff, such as the High Commissioner for National Minorities, often only get to see low level officials in Tashkent.
· A very low level of staffing – there are just 30 international field staff in five countries out of a total OSCE field presence of 3,500.
· A very low budget – Central Asia receives less than five percent of the total budget. OSCE operations in Croatia alone receive more than three times the budget for the whole of Central Asia.
· A lack of a long-term strategy, complicated by annual reviews of mandates and rapid staff turnover.
· A low level of coordination with other organizations such as the European Union and the International Financial Institutions such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank.
The mission of the OSCE in Central Asia is conflict prevention. Risks of conflict in the region come from poorly conceived security policies, declining economic conditions and authoritarian political cultures and institutions. To tackle these, the OSCE needs to develop a more comprehensive approach to security including activities and projects that cross the three OSCE "dimensions" – politico-security, economic and environment and human.
The OSCE will also need to develop more effective relationships with the governments in the region. While we recognize that this is an extremely difficult task – and in the case of Turkmenistan, the most repressive and dictatorial of these states, nearly an impossible one – we do believe it can be done by establishing projects that balance the dimensions and by working closely with those organizations that have more resources.
The Central Asian nations see the OSCE as focused almost uniquely on human rights and democracy issues. By balancing projects that tackle these issues with others that deal with security and economic problems, the OSCE could develop better relations with governments and would be more likely to gain their cooperation. I'd like to be clear here that we are not advocating in any way a scaling back of OSCE human dimension activities – indeed we would like to see them expanded – but we feel that they would have a better chance of success if accompanied by projects that include the other dimensions.
An example of this might be projects relating to border disputes – a serious problem in Central Asia that has raised tensions among all the states and seriously disrupts economic and family links. The OSCE might consider a range of linked projects that reinforce the idea of open but secure borders.
Under the political and security dimension the OSCE might consider providing good offices for border delimitation, political and military confidence building measures and training to prevent the trafficking of drugs, arms and people. Alongside these efforts the OSCE could provide human rights training for border and customs officers, development of NGO and advocacy groups involved in border monitoring, refugees and migration issues. Under the economic rubric it could consider developing trader and driver associations to monitor the performance of border guards, the political facilitation of cross-border trade, the standardization of regulations on trade and the monitoring of corruption.
By established linked projects, the OSCE could reduce the risk, for example, that police training simply reinforce repressive institutions. Establishing civil society groups provides a mechanism to monitor the impact of training and new regulations. Boosting economic activities provides an incentive for cooperation by all parties while tackling the security concerns of Central Asian governments is more likely to get them on board than simply stressing human rights.
This is just one area in which a broader approach by the OSCE could improve its influence in Central Asia but there are many others including: expanding work against corruption, boosting the programs on small arms and light weapons, police training, elections, freedom of religion and media and the development of civil society.
To establish these programs effectively, the OSCE will need to see some reforms to its own structures and methods: Among the recommendations that ICG has made are:
· Strengthening the role of the Secretary-General in order to facilitate longer-term planning beyond the annual term of the chairman in office.
· Better monitoring of the implementation of aims set out by the headquarters. Many offices operate with great autonomy and therefore many good ideas developed in Vienna die in the field due to a lack of interest there.
· Improved recruitment and pay for OSCE field staff and greater efforts to bring women into the senior ranks in field offices.
· Improved training for all OSCE – currently field officers get just two days of training and many have limited abilities to deal with culturally and politically sensitive situations.
ICG worked closely with the government of the Netherlands – the next chairman in office – in the preparation of this report and officials in the Hague have expressed enthusiasm for making Central Asia a priority for the OSCE as its activities in the Balkans wind down. Our hope is that other Participating States, in particular the United States, will support an expansion of OSCE activities in Central Asia to tackle many of the pressing security and human rights problems in the region.
Once again I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to speak here today.

The family ethic was very much about Midwestern hard work over upward mobility. Vaughn's background made him feel out of place in their tony neighborhood, and with average talent in schoolwork and sports, he discovered that his sense of humor was the best way to get positive attention.

The magazine is one of those things. It may not be exactly War and Peace – but it is the kind of things that professional service managers might read, enjoy and then look for the next issue coming out – exactly the positive reinforcement cycle we need to create a tipping point. Actually, the meeting itself was another great thing. So far as we can tell this was the most chapters ever represented at any kind of itSMF meeting – including all previous AGMs.
IBM – along with TSO – sponsored the meeting, and we also hosted it at the IBM Amsterdam office. That sponsorship gave me the right (and from my management's perspective, the obligation) to a 10 minute agenda item to address the meeting. Now, those of you who know me will realise I don't usually need the justification of an agenda item to talk. But, given the nature of my audience, I wondered what to talk about in that formal situation. The obligatory 'IBM has something you might be interested in seeing' bit was easy – a quick demo of our new G2G3 developed virtual simulators – plenty about those in other blogs on this site so go read them I won't repeat it here.
My main message – and one I feel strong enough about that I want to repeat it here – was how important sponsorship like this is.
itSMF is (also rightly) proud of its 'owned by the members' and 'not for profit' nature – and so it shapes the community more than any other organisation – or more accurately it helps its members shape and develop that community. But being not for profit doesn't stop there being bills. We all share in this service management community, and it seems to me both right and necessary that the key players in the industry take seriously the need to also be key supporters of that community.
For many sponsorship is seen as a way to
keep conference prices low, or just about advertising leverage. The sponsorship
of meetings like the publications gathering in
So what I spoke about in
itSMFI is producing important parts of our professional future, and there is the chance for all players in this community to support - big companies with big sponsorship through to individuals getting involved and active. So get on board - please.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- As the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee meet on Syria on Wednesday, you may be curious what your local lawmaker thinks about possible military force being used against Syria.
We are compiling a list of lawmakers' stances on Syria. This is what we have found so far:
Congressman Rob Wittman of the 1st District of Virginia released the following statement:
"I have serious concerns with the situation in Syria, and after participating in a conference call with the White House this afternoon, I remain concerned about what the endgame might be for U.S. involvement in Syria at this time. The Administration has still not articulated their goals with potential U.S. military action and dedicated assets. I support a direct discussion and the involvement of Congress as required by the Constitution as this situation continues, and have joined with my colleagues in asking the President to seek congressional approval of any action against Syria."
Congressman James "Jim" Moran, who represents the 8th District of Virginia (Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax County, and Falls Church), released the following statement in favor of "an intervention" on Monday on his website:
"President Obama was absolutely right in setting a red line against the use of weapons of mass destruction by Bashar al-Assad. The United States has the only true ability to prevent the use and proliferation of such weapons," said Rep. Moran. "Abdicating this responsibility will only allow for their deployment to become the new norm."
"Now it is up to one of the most divisive, least productive Congresses in history to authorize an intervention and protect the credibility and viability of a US response to Assad's horrific crimes against humanity," Moran concluded.
Congressman Frank Wolf of the 10th District of Virginia was among the 116 members of Congress who wrote a letter to President Obama asking him to seek their approval before using military force in Syria. You can see that letter here: http://www.wusa9.com/news/article/272887/188/Lawmakers-want-President-to-seek-Congress-OK-before-military-force-in-Syria
Wolf also released a statement on Monday, saying that if a vote were held on military action that day, he would vote against a strike. He also sent a letter to President Obama, which reads:
Dear Mr. President:
Few things are weightier for elected officials than matters of national security involving war and peace. These issues come to the fore as your administration has asked Congress to consider military intervention in Syria. I welcome your decision to seek congressional authorization before committing U.S. military assets in Syria as I believe this is not only a constitutionally sound course of action but, as you noted in your remarks this past weekend, our "country will be stronger" having had this debate.
The war in Syria cannot be understood outside of the broader context of regional sectarian violence. Whatever happens in Syria will have a direct impact on the Sunni-Shia divide, the future of Christians and other ancient religious minorities who are increasingly imperiled in that part of the world, the stability of strategic neighbors, including Lebanon and Jordan, and the fate of our critical ally Israel. Furthermore, it is safe to assume that the Iranian regime and terrorist elements throughout the region that have clearly stated murderous aims are carefully watching as events unfold.
In fact, respected counterterrorism expert Bruce Hoffman warns: "Indeed, Core Al Qaeda's attraction to Syria is nothing less than irresistible. After Al Qaeda missed the opportunities to intervene or assert itself in the seismic events that initiated the 'Arab Spring' in Tunisia and Egypt in early 2011 and saw itself relegated to only a supporting role in Libya, al-Zawahiri doubtless regards the Syrian civil war as a key opportunity with which to burnish Al Qaeda's credentials and demonstrate its relevance. Even more so, Syria's geographic proximity to both neighboring Jordan and Israel realizes a Core Al Qaeda dream: bringing it to the borders of precisely the pro-Western, insufficiently Islamic Arab monarchy that the organization has long despised in Jordan and to the very gates of its most detested foe, Israel." In short, the stakes could not be higher.
That said, in all candor, I continue to have deep reservations about any U.S military action in Syria. While I deplore the use of chemical weapons, and have been grieved by the images out of Syria, especially those involving innocent children, I remain concerned that any U.S. military action could embolden - and even strategically aid - the radical Al Qaeda-connected jihadist element that is increasingly present among the legitimate Syrian opposition. Further, additional civilian casualties must be weighed along with the catalyzing effect that the images of these casualties will most assuredly have on individuals and groups throughout the Middle East who already possess deep animosity toward our nation.
In light of the complexity of the situation, and our moral obligation to ensure that every diplomatic avenue has been exhausted, I urge you to pull together what I will call the Syria Advisory Group, comprised of internationally recognized diplomats, statesmen and military officers to provide consultation to yourself and senior members of your administration and to be utilized as strategic envoys and negotiators in Damascus and elsewhere. The individuals I have in mind have decades of diplomatic experience, relationships in the region and are above the national political fray.
From the diplomatic arena you could bring in former Secretary of State Jim Baker, who has extensive experience in the Middle East and served as co-chair of the Iraq Study Group; former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright; Ambassador Edward Djerejian who served as U.S ambassador to Syria and Israel and has a distinguished record of service in eight administrations; Ambassador Theodore Kattouf who served as U.S. ambassador to Syria from 2001-2003; Ambassador Ryan Crocker, who immediately preceded Kattouf in Syria from 1999-2001 and also served as U.S. ambassador in Iraq, Pakistan, Kuwait and Lebanon. Statesmen could include former Congressman Lee Hamilton who served as chair of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in addition to serving alongside Baker as co-chair of the Iraq Study Group (ISG) and former Senator Chuck Robb who also served on the ISG. In the military realm you could invite seasoned individuals like Generals John Abizaid, Anthony Zinni and David Barno.
This is not an exhaustive list by any stretch. There may be other names that come to mind not to mention unconventional, but potentially strategic actors, like the Vatican. The Syria Advisory Group would simply buttress the work already being done by your administration working closely with you, Secretaries John Kerry and Chuck Hagel and Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns, who in addition to having served as ambassador to Jordan was also U.S. ambassador to Russia, a nation with clearly stated interests in Syria which could prove to be a more willing partner outside of the United Nations framework. Ultimately the aim of these diplomatic overtures would be to bring the relevant parties to the table in Geneva. Convening the Syria Advisory Group would not slow the pace of congressional consideration of military action; this would be a dual-track approach over the next two weeks until Congress votes on the resolution.
I travelled to the region in February and spent time with Syrian refugees in Lebanon hearing firsthand their accounts of the horrific civil war that was ripping apart their nation. I also heard, even then, of the influx of foreign jihadist fighters from place likes Libya, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt. To be sure there was a yearning for help, for humanitarian aid and refuge, but there were also cautionary words urging that America be clear-eyed about who the rebels are and what their vision is for a new Syria. Many months have passed since then. Thousands more have perished. And yet, serious questions remain about what a power vacuum in Syria might produce and how complex U.S. interests are best served.
I do not pretend to think that a Syria Advisory Group alone will lead to a just and lasting peace in a land where much blood has been spilt. But I see little downside in enlisting their aid and venture that a war-weary nation would embrace such an approach.
Best wishes.
Frank R. Wolf
Member of Congress
House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland released the following statement on Tuesday:
"I support the President's call for authorizing limited but decisive military action in response to the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons in Syria. While recognizing that the details of the authorization language have yet to be finalized, the use of chemical weapons, including against innocent children, is intolerable and cannot go unanswered.
"The Administration has presented compelling evidence that these horrific weapons caused over one thousand deaths and that they were launched from areas controlled by government forces into neighborhoods that were known opposition strongholds. Investigations by our allies confirm these facts, and it is in our strong national security interest to act decisively.
"As the world's leading democracy, as a defender of justice and human rights, and as a cosignatory of the Chemical Weapons Convention, it is essential that the United States respond in a way that will effectively deter the further use of these deadly weapons by the Assad regime and substantially degrade the capability to employ such weapons and agents. Further, our response sends a clear message to all other nations and non-state actors who are considering the development or deployment of weapons of mass destruction that the United States will not stand idly by if they do so.
"Unless the community of nations, led by the United States, makes an unambiguous stand in support of international laws and norms that preclude the use of these heinous weapons, this will not be the last time we see them used. The peace and security of the United States, the Middle East, and, indeed, of our world depends on making sure that the consequences of using weapons of mass destruction are absolutely clear and inevitable.
"I appreciate the President's determination that Congress, as the people's representatives, must be part of the decision on how to move forward. Our action will ultimately be stronger for it. Congress should now give the President the authority he needs to make good on our promise to those responsible for these heinous chemical attacks."
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia released the following statement, saying he would vote for the "option to use military force":
"I intend to vote to provide the President of the United States the option to use military force in Syria. While the authorizing language will likely change, the underlying reality will not. America has a compelling national security interest to prevent and respond to the use of weapons of mass destruction, especially by a terrorist state such as Syria, and to prevent further instability in a region of vital interest to the United States.
"Understanding that there are differing opinions on both sides of the aisle, it is up to President Obama to make the case to Congress and to the American people that this is the right course of action, and I hope he is successful in that endeavor.
"Bashar Assad's Syria, a state sponsor of terrorism, is the epitome of a rogue state, and it has long posed a direct threat to American interests and to our partners. The ongoing civil war in Syria has enlarged this threat.
"The Syrian conflict is not merely a civil war; it is a sectarian proxy war that is exacerbating tensions throughout the Muslim world. It is clear Iran is a principal combatant in this conflict, and its direct involvement is an integral part of Iran's bid to establish regional hegemony. Were Assad and his Iranian patrons to come out on top it would be a strategic victory for Iran, embolden Hizballah, and convince our allies that we cannot be trusted.
"Furthermore, sectarian tensions and extremist terrorism are already spilling over beyond Syria's borders, with terrorist attacks and assassinations on the rise in neighboring countries. It is not just an abstract theory that the Syrian conflict threatens the stability of key American partners in the region. It is a reality.
"Beyond the obvious regional interests, a failure to adequately respond to the use of chemical weapons and compel the end of this conflict on terms beneficial to America and our partners only increases the likelihood of future WMD use by the regime, transfer to Hizballah, or acquisition by Al Qaeda. No one wants to be asking why we failed to act if the next time Sarin is used it is in the Paris or New York subway.
"The United States' broader policy goal, as articulated by the President, is that Assad should go, and President Obama's redline is consistent with that goal and with the goal of deterring the use of weapons of mass destruction. It is the type of redline virtually any American President would draw. Now America's credibility is on the line. A failure to act when acting is in America's interests and when a red line has been so clearly crossed will only weaken our ability to use diplomacy, economic pressure, and other non-lethal tools to remove Assad and deter Iran and other aggressors.
"There are no easy solutions and a one-off military strike is not by itself an adequate strategy, but I am convinced that the risks of inaction outweigh the risks of a limited intervention. And a well-designed and well executed strike that both deters the use of chemical weapons and diminishes the capacity of the Assad regime can contribute to the achievement of a clear and attainable goal: the ultimate displacement of the Assad regime by moderate elements within the opposition. That is why it is imperative that the Administration continue to identify and support those moderate elements who are battling both Assad and Al Qaeda.
"Should the Commander-in-Chief decide to use military force, I hope he will do so judiciously and with close and continuing consultation with the Congress."
Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued the following statement:
"I appreciate that the President has chosen to seek congressional authorization for this action, particularly since many Members, like me, have very serious questions about the path ahead that need to be answered in order to make an informed decision. As we have seen over the past decade, the use of military force is one of the most grave actions our nation can take, and it often has consequences that are impossible to foresee.
"In this case, we must understand in the clearest terms the objective of a strike against Syria. We must understand how we will achieve that objective, including whether allies will join our efforts, and how long it may take. We must understand, as best we can, the risk of collateral damage, including civilian deaths. If our objective is not regime change, we must understand how we will measure success, particularly if civilian deaths using conventional weapons continue or even increase after any U.S. strike. Finally, if we do not act, we must understand the ramifications for the Assad regime, the Syrian people, and our own nation.
"I commend the President for consulting with Congress on this critical national security issue, and I thank the Administration for the information it has provided to date. As Congress engages in this debate in the coming days, I believe these are the questions shared by all Americans."
U.S. Senator for Virginia Tim Kaine said in a release last Wednesday:
"Today I voted for a limited authorization for the use of military force in Syria to respond to Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons to kill civilians, including more than 400 children. A failure to respond to such a blatant violation of longstanding international norms not only signals an acceptance of this atrocity, it also jeopardizes the lives of our servicemembers in combat both today and in the future. For years, countries have refrained from using chemical weapons on our servicemembers because of this international standard and for their safety, we must continue to defend this principle.
"The resolution approved by the Committee today clearly states that there will be no U.S. combat troops inside Syria, and it is limited in scope. I applaud the President's decision to come to Congress for authorization, something that I have called for publicly since the debate over Syria began. Our nation is stronger in military matters when we act in a united fashion. Our servicemembers must be able to rely on the full support of their political leadership when asked to defend our nation. I now call on the full Senate to vote in favor of this authorization. The use of chemical weapons to kill innocent men, women, and children is intolerable and there must be a consequence."
Congressman Gerry Connolly of the 10th District of Virginia issued a resolution with Congressman Chris Van Hollen which reads:
"Dear Colleague:
We write to urge your support for our proposal to significantly limit the scope, duration and purpose of an authorization to use military force in Syria. We believe it is in the national security interest of the United States, as well as in support of basic human decency, to enforce the almost 90 year international ban on the use of chemical weapons to prevent the future use of poison gas against innocent civilians in Syria or others, including Americans, in future conflicts. We also believe that -- with the exception of the limited purpose of deterring the use of poison gas -- it would be be against our national security interests for the United States to become directly engaged militarily in the ongoing Syrian Civil War.
We believe that the draft resolution presented by the Obama Administration is far too broad and could open the door to large scale military involvement in Syria and the region. We will not support that resolution. We are proposing an alternative which is far more limited in scope, duration, and purpose. Our proposal, which is attached, includes the following four elements:
-- it prohibits any American forces on the ground in Syria;
-- it limits the duration of the authority to 60 days;
-- during that 60 day period, it prohibits the President from repeating the use of force beyond the initial punitive strikes unless the President certifies to Congress that the Syrian forces have repeated their use of chemical weapons;
-- it limits the purpose of military force to the narrow objective articulated by the President, which is to deter the repeated USE of chemical weapons rather than the broader goal of the stopping the stockpiling or proliferation of a range of weapons. That broader goal is a worthy one, but our proposal would not authorize the use of military force to accomplish it in this instance.
We believe that the resolution we are proposing would accomplish the twin objectives of 1) upholding the international ban and deterring the future use of chemical weapons; and 2) narrowing the scope of action to prevent the United States from getting dragged militarily into the Syrian Civil War. We understand that there are risks to any military action, but we believe those risked are outweighed by the risk of doing nothing in the face of the flagrant violation of international norms that has resulted in the mass killings of innocent men, women and children from poison gas.
It is our view that a negotiated settlement is the only viable long term solution to the war in Syria that has drawn in proxy powers from throughout the region. We also believe that the goal of a negotiated settlement is entirely consistent with the goal of deterring the horrible use of poison gas against innocent civilians in Syria today and in other conflicts tomorrow."

Don't Expand Medicaid
March 27, 2013
Perhaps it is time for Ohioans to question the wisdom of implementing President Obama's Medicaid expansion plans for the existing system, which is inefficient and flawed....
WVUGEO ... What a racist comment! We are all Americans here and are entitled to an opinion. Whether I'm white or striped like a Tiger it is not important to this discussion. Obamacare in every form is and will be a complete failure. Why? Because it was passed by one party, the Democrats, against the wishes of the American people. What this country will experience through this bad law over the coming years will be the same as everywhere else it has been enacted. Poor care, rationing of care, doctor shortages, death panels, and exploding costs in care and premiums. I've had family members that died in another country because of her having to wait over a year to be treated. I do not need the Heritage Foundation or any other publication to inform me about this terrible law, I've witnessed it firsthand. So WVUGEO get some knowledge of an issue before you comment or take an occasion to spread your HATE. By the way Heritage references all their opinions & yes, I'm proud to be w

As Impact noted, this piece relies heavily on the "Heritage Foundation" for it's information. And, his sarcasm is right on. They might as well call it the Rich White Republicans Booster Club. One of it's two or three original founders was Joe Coors, grandson of Adolph Coors. The current president of the Heritage Foundation makes close to 1 million a year in salary, and, will this year be succeeded by the former Republican Senator from South Carolina, Jim DeMint. And, we, in northern WV, eastern OH and western PA are supposed to think folks like that give half a hoot in Hades about folks like us or know anything about what it's like being an out of work steel maker or broke-down old coal miner and trying to get decent medical care? Why should we give a hoot about what people who think we should pay attention to biased nonsense like this think and say?

When all of the Obamacare talk was going around, we were supposed to believe that expansion of our health insurance to serve those who don't pay into it would not cost us anything, and afterall its a Federal program. But its not, its a state program and the Fed mostly just includes the money that comes out of your paychecks for its share, the states are supposed to make up the difference. That means you and more taxes and more insurance premiums if you want to keep your health care and not start treating your family with a state health care. With all of the pious jargon flying around about equality and equal access you and your kids get to be less equal and you get to pay for it. Today's buzzword motivator of the day is the the RE Johnson group says there are 11,000 veterans in WV who have no health insurance. But don't mention that they have no health care because the Veterans Administration does grant equal access for veterans, in fact for most, no access. Its on you now.

When you want to sell a totally bogus political point of view and have not a shred of evidence supporting your BS...just make a 'sweeping generalization' such as, "...Numerous studies have demonstrated that Medicaid patients receive inferior access to health care."
"Numberous studies" eh? Wow! That nails it! NOT !

I use a singel reed diaphragm. The single reed helps me keep it to one note vs. a normal three note bugle.
Looking for any information on spike squeal calls. Manufacturers or is it able to be produced by another call. I've been told it is productive for coastal elk. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks
I use a singel reed diaphragm. The single reed helps me keep it to one note vs. a normal three note bugle.
A spike squeal can be produced with just about any mouth reed/diaphragm, lightly stretched latex in single reed form are best though such as a Primos Ivory Plate or A B/B Mellow Yellow/Closer Call. It's up to the user of the call to manage his tone that he desires, it takes practice, that's whether it's any bull or cow sound. There are some cow calls such as the "cow talk" call that will give off a spike type squeal or cow bugle easily through a grunt tube if mouth reeds are out of the question! Basically you are trying to imitate a young animal, spike squeals are known as non-threatening sounds to other elk!
Check out the elknut DVD's at www.elknut.com
There is great information in all the stuff I have purchased. He actually goes through when to use what calls and why.
Well worth the money.
I was able to call in and arrow a bull, with a spike squeal, using the mouthpiece to my Power Bugle once. It probably wasn't the most convincing tone in the world, but the timing was right, this particular bull had a single cow, and he didn't want any other bulls near her. He came on the run from 150 yards away, and stopped in front of me at 20 yards, stomped his foot, and let out a little huffy squeal! Turned broadside, and he was all done.
I'm pretty convinced that a full blown challenge bugle might have run him off, he was not a big bull. I just happened to make the right sound at the right time.
It's hard to generalize when it comes to calling elk. Adapting to the individual situation is key. Most of the time, it seems to be more about the right timing, than making the perfect call.
Best of Luck,

The severity varies from person to person.[1] The signs of ARPKD frequently begin before birth, so it is often called "infantile PKD" but some people do not develop symptoms until later in childhood or even adulthood. Children born with ARPKD often, but not always, develop kidney failure before reaching adulthood; babies with the worst cases die hours or days after birth due to respiratory difficulties or respiratory failure. Liver scarring occurs in all patients.[2] The condition is caused by a mutation in the PKHD1 gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

As long-time residents of Manhattan, Salvatore Piazzolla and Grant Wilfley look forward to times when they can escape the city and head to the Hamptons for fun in the sun. What neither of the pair looks forward to is sunburn or premature signs of aging related to their time outdoors. When their search for the perfect sunscreen to protect their skin proved frustrating and ultimately fruitless, the two men decided to formulate their own product that would please sun worshippers in the Hamptons and beyond. Their collection, the Hampton Sun range, contains a variety of smart solutions for effective sun protection.
The Hampton Sun skin care collection features only products with broad-spectrum protection to shield the skin from both UVA and UVB rays. In addition, the formulas are enriched with antioxidants, making them capable of fighting free radical damage related to UV exposure as well. All of the formulas are tested to ensure that they are hypoallergenic and safe for all skin types. Get serious about protecting your skin and enjoy your time in the sun with Hampton Sun products.
Hampton Sun is much more than a collection of prestige sun protection products. Founders Salvatore Piazzolla and Grant Wilfley have created luxurious formulas that are extremely beneficial for the skin.
To start, they've sourced the finest botanical ingredients to naturally nourish and fortify your skin. Aloe vera is a proven hydrator and skin softener, and can make sunscreen products more effective. Aloe vera also cools the skin after a day spent outdoors in the sun. Grape seed oil, emblica fruit extract, and green tea oil are all potent antioxidants. By halting free radicals, they help to repair and prevent the signs of aging. Almond oil, jojoba oil, and walnut oil are conditioning agents. They protect your skin from the drying effects of the sun. Both ginger extract and ginko biloba stimulate circulation, which results in firmer, more radiant skin. Seaweed is an exfoliant. It gently removes the dead skin cells that dull your complexion. And fermented red raspberry, called erythulose, helps a sunless tan look natural and last longer.
Hampton Sun takes these botanicals and combines them with the most progressive sun care technology available. The formulas feature ingredients that keep damaging UV rays from penetrating your skin. Some of these ingredients reflect the rays and others absorb them. To meet the needs of their discerning clientele, Hampton Sun offers a range of SPF in their products, including 45 and 70 for babies and kids.
In addition to high-end skincare, Hampton Sun also offers a fragrance, Privet Bloom, inspired by the flowering plant that is synonymous with the Hamptons.

Flashing lights, rooftop searches and horror. It's action you might expect to see in a movie, but not outside a theater. It's why nerves are high in Union Gap.
"I wouldn't go there at all," said Union Gap visitor, Veronica Molina.
"I guess nothing is really safe now," said moviegoer Judy Velazquez.
Judy and friend Llesenia Ramos planned to see a movie Friday but had second thoughts.
"It's really sad that something like that can happen at a public place where you should be able to go and have fun with your family, and now something like this goes on," said Llensenia. "It does concern me about going somewhere like that."
It's a thought echoed by mother-to-be Veronica.
"It's just sad," she said. "And it's scary."
Scared and maybe a little nervous, but Veronica and the others don't blame the Majestic. Neither do police. The theater itself is another innocent victim of circumstance.
It's the latest reminder Union Gap is not immune to violence.
KIMA called the owners of the Majestic Theater. They did not release a statement or want to comment. Fridays movies are playing as scheduled.

Video: La Plata Residents Remember 2002 Tornado
LA PLATA, Md. (WUSA9) -- If anyone knows what the people of Moore, Oklahoma are going through right now it is the residents of La Plata, Maryland.
Back in 2002, a tornado nearly wiped the town out of nearly 9,000 residents. The memories so devastating, a lot of people can't bring themselves to watch the coverage in Oklahoma City.
It struck on a pleasant Sunday evening on April 28, 2002. Before that, the town was like any other town, immediately after, it looked like a bomb had been dropped on the downtown area.
"We lost all the water we had stored in all our tanks," said La Plata Mayor Roy Hail, who was the city councilman in April of 2002.
How much warning did you have?
"Very little, probably less than an hour," he said.
The twister killed five across three southern Maryland counties and 800 buildings were damaged or destroyed.
The mayor tells us that La Plata is now about 90% of where it once was. They also now have a regional warning system and all of those new structures have been reinforced in case another tornado heads this way.
What did you think when you saw the damage in Oklahoma City?
"It brought back the memories of what La Plata looked like, obviously the damage is much greater," Mayor Hail said.
Inside Casey Jones restaurant on Tuesday, WUSA9 found people who lost a lot 11 years ago.
"We lost electricity and then my husband and I got the two kids and got downstairs and lost everything upstairs."
The house was gone, destroyed.
Oklahoma tragedy is but a painful reminder to people here of how all can be lost in but a moment.
"I have the news on for a while and then I have to change it."

Rate this Review: Warlock Master of the Arcane
Genre: Strategy, System : PC, Available : Downloadable
Developer : 1C: Ino-Co, Publisher : Paradox Interactive AB
In an age dominated by first person shooters and action RPGs, strategy games have somewhat taken a back seat. Enter Warlock: Master of the Arcane designed as a turn based hexagon grid game. As a Warlock/Mage/ other magical spell caster stereotype(the game doesn't really seem to make up its mind as to what you are) it is your duty to bring peace to the land by whatever means possible.
If you have played Civilization titles then you pretty much know how the game works. Each player takes turns building up cities, producing units, and moving said units across the map to do battle. There is a choice of three races all with slightly different units but mainly divided into melee, range and spell casters. The races being cliché humans, the not really scary undead and the ugly and unappreciated beast race made up of rat men, orcs, goblins and trolls. To produce these units players have to construct certain buildings and ensure they have the available resources. Other units can be produced by having a city close to a resource node and building on it. For example being close to a donkeys resource node will allow a city to produce the much feared stubborn (donkey) knights.
The player can win the game in multiple ways. The easiest and most straight forward being to destroy all your rivals. Other ways require a lot more effort, by doing quests for the gods and gaining favour with them being one. Sadly there is no way of knowing which god is which and quests to gain favour don't frequently happen. The more favour you have, the more access you have to powerful spells. But once at a high enough level of favour the rival god will summon a (over)powerful avatar at your home city and will pretty much destroy your city and make you lose the game unless you are highly prepared. Unfortunately the amount of resources needed to defeat the avatar and gain favour with the god make it a rather poor choice as a victory condition. Another condition is being able to cast the unity spell after extensively and exhaustively researching it. Casting it is the issue as other mages can easily and most likely counter it. The trick is, to be at peace with all the other great mages.
Regrettably diplomacy is pretty much handicapped and plays out horribly. One can only declare war, declare peace, no hostilities pact and demand tribute (or trade). The A.I is extremely war happy and there is no way to counter negotiate, it is either meet their demands or war. If seeking peace (the way to win with the unity spell) be prepared to spend a lot of resources as the A.I continues to demand tributes to keep them happy. If war is more your thing, be prepared to deal with spam from the A.I as they repeatedly ask for peace while you are attacking their main city. After the 7th time of saying No to them, one would think they would get the hint that you don't want to be friends with them.
The problem with these victory conditions is the amount of effort required to pull them off. It is so much easier and less annoying to just kill your rivals, rather than go through the laborious process of making them all happy, or keeping one alive and dealing with spam in order to buy time to summon an avatar.
The game has been designed as combat focus and it shows. Both economy and diplomacy are terrible. Units gain experience and level up and once at a high enough level can advance to a stronger unit. Perks are gained for each level although sadly they aren't very exciting. Some being +20% damage while others are +20% resistance to missiles and so on. Apart from the different looking units there is no visual way of seeing if a unit is low level or high level (the perk icons are really small even when the unit is highlighted).
Combat is inconsistent, with all units being able to counter attack and do damage when melee units attack them, while range units cannot counter attack other range units. Enemy players will cast spells on you and on your units and unless you pay close attention, the spells are sometimes easy to miss. Balancing of units is not complete and as such some are weak for their cost while others are insanely strong.
During the game the player will encounter various wild mobs, these are for the most part a pain to deal with as they will get in your way. The major annoyance is that when your army is out destroying other mages your cities will be constantly under attack by continuously spawning wild mobs. While cities are able to fight back it is time wasting having to spend a quarter of a turn telling your cities to attack. In one case an ogre spawned near a new city and proceeded to capture it long before any of my units got close to defend it. Wild mobs also become stronger as the game continues making this a huge problem in the game.
There are other realms on the map containing rich resource nodes if people venture into them but they are protected by extremely high level creatures. The units needed to defeat these creatures would be much better utilised in simply killing off your enemy.
Disappointingly at the time of this review the game has no multiplayer mode to speak of and there is no story line or campaign missions or anything to really flesh out the game. Although Paradox Interactive has stated multiplayer will come in a later patch. The mages perks which make each one different are weak and won't be a governing factor if you win or lose and the higher difficulty rating doesn't make the A.I more intelligent, it just gives them a lot more resources(in a sense playing against a cheater). The game still feels like it's in beta in some regards, given how incomplete and unbalanced the game features are.
It's very much an average game. It will satisfy some strategy game fans but anymore looking for a more exciting turn based game should look elsewhere. Battle for Wesnoth and Heroes of Might and Magic come to mind. Epic_Bubble

Media information (sometimes called "metadata") is a general term used to describe the contents of a digital media file. For music files, the following are some common types of media information:
Title (the name of the song)
Album (the name of the album on which the song appears)
Album Artist (the name of the primary artist associated with the album)
Contributing Artist (the names of the artists that performed the song)
Genre (the type of music)
Rating (the number of stars that the song has been rated by you or a data provider)
Each of the preceding items is a media information attribute (sometimes called a "tag"). Other types of digital media files, such as videos, recorded TV, or pictures, can have other attributes that are relevant to their content type. For example, a recorded TV file might have the attributes "Actors" and "Series" and a picture file might have the attributes "Event" and "Date Taken."
When a digital media file is created, the program or device that created it typically adds some media information to the file. For example, when you rip a CD, the Player usually downloads media information about the album from the Internet and adds that information to the WMA or MP3 files that it creates on your computer. If you want, you can use the Player to manually add or edit media information for items in your library.
To get the most out of the Player, it is important that your files contain complete and accurate media information. The Player relies on this information to help you organize, sort, and find items in your library. For information about how to add or edit media information, see Add or edit media information.

Okoros, Jeuschede are Eugene Bound
AUSTIN, Texas – Iowa State's Okoro sisters are heading to the NCAA Championships. Ejiro qualified for the national meet in the 800 meters Friday in the quarterfinals at the NCAA West Regional in Myers Stadium. Ese secured a spot at the national meet in the 400-meter hurdles semifinals. Iowa State freshman Jens Jeuschede also earned an NCAA Championships berth in the shot put.
"We added three more Cyclones to our national roster," Iowa State head coach Corey Ihmels said. "You can't score points in Eugene if you don't get through qualifying. There were some very highly touted competitors that didn't make it through. It doesn't matter whether you were first or 12th, if you got through it's a clean slate for the national meet."
Eji Okoro finished fifth in her 800-meter quarterfinal but was the final national meet qualifier (12th) at 2:06.57. Ese Okoro clocked a 57.54 400-meter hurdle effort to earn a spot in Eugene, Ore. with the seventh-fastest time overall. Jeuschede's best throw of 59-11 ¼ ranked him 11th overall.
The NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships are June 5-8.
400-meter hurdles: 1) Kori Carter, Stanford, 54.50; 7) Ese Okoro, 57.54;
800-meter run: 1) Samantha Murphy, Illinois, 2:03.88; 12) Ejiro Okoro, IOWA STATE, 2:05.57
Shot Put: 1) Ryan Crouser, Texas, 62-11 ¼; 11) Jan Jeusehede, IOWA STATE, 59-11 1/4

With the IIUG conference around the corner I have been looking through a fair number of presentations on Informix. On the one hand I am excited about all the great technology we have and am sure the attendees will be very happy with the content. On the other hand I also know that many of these presentations will be used with new and prospective customers. What strikes me is that while the presentations do a great job at describing what we have done they do less well describing why we have done it. Looking at isolated features it's hard to get a sense of why anyone would need them or how they integrate with the other features we have. For people that know our product this is not such a problem. If you know our product it is much easier to see how and why we implemented many of our new features.
An example of what I am talking about is replication. We've done a great job presenting each function individually - HDR, ER, RSS, SDS, CDC, etc... but what is often missing is how these features fit together. Its sort of like describing a car in terms of its parts -
- You have an engine here, and it is very useful for generating power.
- You have some wheels that allow forward and backward motion.
- You have breaks which allow you to stop your motion.
All of these are useful in their own right in many situations, however if you don't present the bigger picture then your listener may miss the point. This is basically what I think we often do with our functionality. We talk about the features in isolation without referring to the bigger picture.
To resolve this Madison, myself, Fred, Jasna, and many others have been rethinking ways to present our high availability and scalability so that people realize that we have a seamless suite of functionality rather than a bunch of disparate individual features. Since the lower level presentations seem pretty complete we concentrated on the high level messaging.
The 10,000 foot view is that we have the most comprehensive high availability and scalability solutions around. With Informix high availability we provide "always on" capability in nearly any environment and we are able to do it in the most cost effective way possible. From a scalability point of view we are able to get great performance whether we scale out locally or globally, or when we scaling up. It makes more sense to talk about scenarios where high availability or scalability is needed and how we can solve them rather than starting with describing the features then talking about use cases. If you are unfamiliar with Informix these high level statements and use cases make much more of an impact than saying "We have HDR/RSS/SDS/ER/CDC/CLR... and you really need to hear how each of these work". After this overview is given there will be plenty of time for drilling down into the functionality that makes this possible.
The intent here is not to pick on high availability, we have many features which need to be presented in a more user friendly way. I feel Informix is the best database around and we should look for every opportunity to promote it to as many people as possible, especially those not already familiar with Informix. Enhancing our message to be clearer can only help.

Late Thursday night, high winds knocked out power for 580 households, most of them--about 500--were in Milledgeville.
That's according to a spokesperson for Georgia Power.
As of 9 a.m. Friday, power has been restored to all but eight households.
Crews are currently working to restore electricity to all customers.
Georgia Power says the outages are related to weather conditions, specifically high winds.

Mississippi Power Co.'s $2.8 billion Kemper County power plant is one step closer to legal clearance.
Company spokesman Jeff Shepard told The Associated Press that Harrison County Chancery Judge Jim Persons has denied a Sierra Club challenge to the plant's license.
Shepard says Persons released the ruling late Monday. The environmental group is expected to appeal.
The Mississippi Supreme Court overturned the plant's previous certificate. The high court agreed with the Sierra Club that the state Public Service Commission hadn't given enough explanation for raising the plant's cost cap from $2.4 billion to $2.88 billion.
The PSC then granted a new certificate, and the Sierra Club challenged it, arguing it too was improper.
Mississippi Power, a unit of Atlanta-based Southern Co., already has spent $1.88 billion on its Plant Ratcliffe.
