Is there an easy way to move messages from the HSM volume back onto your primary. The file structure seems identical, I just don't know how to tell the index that the blob is back on the primary.
There's not a lot of documentation I can find about HSM which I find odd.

few days ago I was testing the possibility of using the zimbra briefcase, as a network drive.
The truth is that since Windows 7 and XP, the system works really well.
But I had a problem, my users want to work with zimbra briefcase as a network drive, which also synchronizes with a local folder.
Thus, online and offline can access their data independently.
This creates a problem is the timing of the case with the local folder.
I've got a program called allwaysync, with this program I can choose when you sync the local folder and briefcase and even that is done automatically and consistently.
Know any other program of this type

U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Evan A. Tuley, a recruiter out of Chandler, Ariz., listens in on a discussion between the coaches and players of the Campo Verde High School football team July 20, 2013, during their annual football camp retreat in Prescott, Ariz. The coaching staff invites the Marines to discuss leadership with the players and introduce them to the Marine Corps' Combat Fitness Test, a physical test that requires max energy exertion for short periods of time much like football. "This is the third time we've had the Marines come up and participate in the camp with us," said Campo Verde Head Coach Max Ragsdale. "We just really like what they're about and feel it helps validate what we're doing as a football program."

To meet our nation's economic and environmental goals, America needs a comprehensive energy policy that draws on our nation's diverse energy supplies, including renewable and alternative sources such as energy recovery from plastics.
Policy Background
Given our nation's need to control energy costs and improve energy security, many policymakers are calling for a comprehensive national energy policy that promotes and develops all of America's own energy resources—conventional and shale natural gas, oil, wind, nuclear, solar, etc.—to diversify energy supply.
One source of energy derived from plastics could further expand the diversity of America's energy supply.
Technologies today are able to recover the energy contained in plastics. Plastics have a high energy content that can be converted to electricity, synthetic gas, fuels and recycled feedstocks for new plastics and other products of chemistry.
Recovering this abundant energy also reduces waste sent to landfills and complements plastics recycling. Energy recovery is rapidly becoming viewed as another source of clean or renewable energy.
ACC's Policy Position
Our nation's energy policy must harness all of America's energy sources, including recovering energy from waste, to continue creating the innovative products and jobs our economy needs, strengthen our economy, improve our energy security and promote sustainable energy production.
Definitions of renewable energy should be broadened to include energy from non-recycled plastics. Many government bodies and laws—EPA, 24 states, the Energy Policy Act of 2005—already recognize energy recovery as a source of renewable energy.
Regulations and permitting processes should not discourage the establishment of new energy recovery capacity.
Municipal solid waste could contribute significant supply of alternative energy.

Charges dropped in Puerto Rican murder case
Published: Friday, April 26, 2013 at 10:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 26, 2013 at 10:09 a.m.
A man accused of committing execution-style murders in Puerto Rico who was arrested in late March in Belleview has returned to Marion County because the State Attorney's Office in the U.S. territory dropped the case.
Jose Sostre-Perez, 42, was working at the Mojo Grill & Catering Company in Belleview, where he was known by the name Ramon Lopez. He was arrested on March 21 by Marion County sheriff's deputies while walking down the street.
Late Thursday evening, Lymarie V. Llovet Ayala, a public affairs specialist with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Puerto Rico, wrote in an email that the state court dropped the case because the lead witness against Sostre-Perez never showed up to testify.
Ayala said a fingerprint comparison had been made that confirmed Sostre-Perez's identity.
Rondo Fernandez, the owner of Mojo Grill & Catering Company, said Sostre-Perez came to him on Tuesday, the day he arrived back here from Puerto Rico, and asked for his job back. Fernandez said he did not hesitate to rehire the man because "he was a good worker and a good person."
"As long he has a clean slate, I've no problem with him," Fernandez said.
On Wednesday, Sostre-Perez was back at the restaurant, where he washes dishes and does odd jobs, Fernandez said.
Sostre-Perez had worked at the restaurant for about two years. Employees described him as a hard worker who came to work on time and was a nice family man with a wife and daughter. They said his wife would pick him up from work, and he was friendly, happy and soft-spoken.
Fernandez said Sostre-Perez told him that when the alleged crimes occurred, he was in Florida. He said Sostre-Perez told him Tuesday that he had been cleared and allowed to return to the U.S.
Fernandez said he had no problem with the initial arrest because the Marion County Sheriff's Office was just doing its job.
Sostre-Perez did not respond to requests for comment. It was not immediately clear why he was working at the restaurant under a different name.

Unc's inimitable style became recognizable worldwide, as he performed at countless second lines, clubs, and jazz festivals as a drumm
This Wednesday, July 10 we'll remember and celebrate the life of Uncle Lionel Batiste from perhaps a less familiar vantagepoint. One of my favorite memories of Uncle Lionel are the times he would occassionally sit next to me and softly sing the old songs of his youth most charmingly into my closest ear. The vocals of this famous musician and larger-that-life cultural figure are

ScreenTalk: Sarah Peirse
Award-winning actor Sarah Peirse is best known for her portrayals of two very different mothers — the ill-fated Honorah Reiper in Heavenly Creatures, and the disaffected sophisticate in Rain.
Peirse's first film was the 80s short Queen Street, followed by tele-feature A Woman of Good Character. More recently, she has appeared in tele-movies Bliss: The Beginning of Katherine Mansfield and Aftershock.
In this ScreenTalk, Peirse talks about:
- Having an intense acting journey in A Woman of Good Character
- Playing the gloriously named Vivienne Wallop in Sylvia
- Being heavily pregnant on the set of The Navigator
- Her experience of working with director Vincent Ward
- Being told not to watch Peter Jackson's previous films prior to working with him on Heavenly Creatures
- Dreaming about the character she played in the film
- Finding the story in the feature film Rain compelling
- Perspectives on her character's grief and self-destruction
- Playing a 'constrained and compromised' mother in Bliss: The Beginning of Katherine Mansfield
- Not knowing whether or not her work on the Hobbit films will make the final cut
- Feeling blessed to have been able to do roles integral to many films

Buddy of mine says to me, "Hey, I just picked up a bottle of Bordeaux!"
To which I say, "Oh yeah?! Which region is it from?"
He then answers, "France!"

I am a little upset!
Burger King has announced that it plans on opening a "Burger Bar" in Miami. These new fast food locations will sell beer along with the usual Whoppers and fries.
Don't expect anything crazy...
These places won't sell mircrobrews or specialty beer. No sir! Instead, for $4.25, you can have your choice of Budweiser or Miller and for $7.99, you can even enjoy a Whopper combo with a beer instead of a soft drink.
This sounds like great news, right? So why am I pissed off?
Simple! I am upset that the "King" didn't choose to sell wine with their combos too. Maybe if the King started sippin' on some vino with his pinky pointed to the sky, he would shed his currently creepy, child molester-like persona. Have it my way? I think not!
Now you may be wondering whether I would really WANT to drink the wine equivalent of Miller Lite? Probably not, but it's more about the principle of the matter.
Why is wine always left out of the fun?

This cold is really starting to piss me off!
Tomorrow better be a better day... I think this is the longest I've gone in a while without a glass of wine, a beer, or anything for that matter!
Go ahead, make me jealous... What are YOU drinking tonight to celebrate?

What accessory DON'T they make for the iPod?
Since I am still fighting a ridiculously crappy cold, I haven't been able to drink my usual copious amounts of wine. To make up for being dry, I figured this picture I took while in Amsterdam would be a fun distraction to my everyday drinking shenanigans.
What's your favorite iPod accessory?

You don't have to drink wine for hundreds or years to know what you like to drink, or listen to the "experts" to find a good bottle, or even spend your life savings to have a good sip. That's why I am fascinated by articles like this one by Dan Berger discussing what he considers to be the "Collapse of Cabernet."
At first, I totally agree with Dan...
Wine shouldn't be overblown, a "fruitbomb", or have an alcohol content equivalent to Everclear in order to be enjoyable. A beautifully aged bottle of Bordeaux is one hundred times more enjoyable than many of the California Cabernets out there today.
So what HAS happened to California Cabernet?
I can't tell you how California Cab used to taste, I only know how it tastes today. Sure there's a lot of bottles that I think utterly suck, but there's also many more that I still enjoy. I must not forget the fact that California Cabernet will always be my first love... the wine that got me into wine in the first place. For that, I will always be thankful!
Can I blame wineries for changing their methods, formula, and practices to bring in the next generation of wine drinkers? Heck no!
Making wine that is appealing to the masses is the best way to attract more people like myself and convert them into future wine lovers. Just like me, the new generation of wine lovers will eventually want to discover more than just these gateway Cabs. Their discovery will include much more than even the style that Dan says was produced in California years ago. It will include different grapes, regions, and whatever else is out there. I just hope that many more wineries will continue their tradition of making wines the same way they have for decades. That way, I can still taste the way California Cab "used to be" without having to get into a time machine or punch the Delorean up to 88 miles per hour.
As wine drinkers, we need to continue to challenge our palates. Keep an open mind. Enjoy as many types and styles of wine and support those who give their lives to bringing the next bottle into our hands.
Is California Cabernet collapsing?
I say, it has only begun to be built!
(This message brought to you by The Wine Whore)
Before Vinturi and Riedel, the first drinking accessory I ever used was the beer funnel. I know, just thinking about the funnel reminds me of a scene from Animal House. Frat antics aside, the funnel was a fun tool for consuming otherwise crappy beer. I have many fond memories competing for the title of fastest beer drinker from the funnel... boy were we dumbasses! :)
When it comes to wine, we sip instead of chug.... we sniff, instead of swill... and we age instead of consuming as fast as possible. What if the same beer drinking antics of the funnel were applied to wine? Wouldn't it require a more sophisticated palate to discern the region or even the type of grape when your wine is flying down your throat and speeds best measured in G-force?
Imagine how your next dinner party would be if you broke out a funnel for your guests to consume their wine... I'm almost tempted to try it!
Is it possible to drink wine from a beer bong? As wine drinkers, are we too pretentious to even give it a shot?
(This message brought to you by The Wine Whore)
Would you rather drink a bottle that has passed it's prime or one that hasn't even reached its infancy?
(This message brought to you by The Wine Whore)
I've gotta kick this cold before tomorrow!
I hate not feeling well. Sure, it sucks being laid up in bed (well, not completely) but the part that really disappoints me is the fact that I can't enjoy wine with a stuffy nose.
So, if chicken soup is good for the soul, is whiskey the cure for the common cold? Maybe it's a spicy Shiraz that shakes out the flu bug. What do you like to drink when you're feeling well? NyQuil may have some alcohol content, but I'm hoping there's something tastier than the blueish-green goo to sip on while I'm sick.
I may not be able to drink wine tonight, but that's not going to stop me from talking about it right now! :)

Everyone knows that a good steak deserves a red wine and fish pairs well with a white, but how many people go out of their way to try pairings that they normally would never dream of?
Last night I put two unexpected beauties together in an affair that I will never forget: Stilton and Sauternes. Stilton's funky cream seemed to melt in the porty presence of the Sauternes. The result tasted like a creamy candy created by the union of the two. Unbelievable yet amazing! Be warned, this isn't an everyday affair. The Stilton wasn't cheap and the Sauternes set me back about $30 for such a little bottle. But if you've never tried it, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot at least once!
After this affair, there was some leftover Stilton. I couldn't just let a good thing go to waste, so I seared up some Ribeyes and crumbled the Stilton on top. Unlike my first affair, I went back to 'ol faithful by matching the steaks with a nice bottle of Sterling Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2002. Although new experiences are exciting, there's still something to say about old loves. Overall it was a very self-indulgent evening resulting in a lot of fun!
Today, however, I am paying for it. No, I am not battling my usual Sunday morning hanover. Instead, I am feeling congested, achy, and a little worse than I would expect to feel after being run over by a 18 wheeler. No wine today... I'll be sippin on Nyquil instead.
How was your weekend affairs? Did you try something new or just stick to old loves?
(This message brought to you by The Wine Whore)
Last night I went to visit my cousin, well actually my wife's cousin, before he gets shipped back out to Iraq. How did we celebrate our time together? No wine for me last night. Instead, I was sippin on Bud Light Wheat instead.
I know, I know, how could I cheat on the grape like this?
Well, given the situation, I felt like beer was a better way to go. So how did this dirty, adulterous affair treat me? Not bad! Sure, Bud Light is pisswater, and I'm not going to say that this new formula is any different. What I will say is that the added citrus and wheat did make the normally flavorless drink taste a little more exciting. If you are into Bud Light, Miller Light, Schlitz, or even Pabst, you should try this wheaty gateway beer. I think it will get you questioning your taste for the brew and maybe even trying something new!
On a side note, I'm going out to play some golf and drink some Miller Lite. Tonight, I'm thinking about cracking into some Stilton I picked up the other day to go with the bottle of Sauternes I have hidden in my wine fridge. Hopefully this seductive pairing will help make amends with the grape after all of my beer drinking! :)
What are you sippin' on this weekend?

Your co-op delegates at work in Raleigh
Rep. Michele Presnell (R-Yancey) presents the electric cooperative's regulatory reform bill to the House Public Utilities Committee. Rep. Bryan Holloway (R-Stokes) presides in the Appropriations Committee Room of the Legislative Office Building. The bill passed unanimously with bipartisan support.
More than 150 board members and employees from electric cooperatives across North Carolina visited the state legislative building on March 13 for the annual "Rally in Raleigh."
During the rally, cooperative leaders met with their local representatives in the North Carolina House and Senate to discuss issues facing electric cooperatives, including copper theft, regulatory reform and tax reform.
Legislation plays a key role in the cooperatives' ability to deliver safe, affordable, reliable power. Legislation and regulation are key drivers of cost, including an aging infrastructure and incorporating new technology to meet members' expectations.
Co-op board members and staff discussed these issues and also shared success stories with elected officials about the projects in their districts, including: new construction, energy efficiency, economic development, grid modernization and community outreach.

We are successfully up and running with the Open Source version. We are running into a few admin interface issues that look like they will be very problematic in the future.
-- account managemant --
We host about 1100 domains. The search is nice although not perfect. I would really like to have a tab (or something) when I go into a domain (under Domains) that would show me the users and aliases for that particular domain.
-- new accounts --
When adding new accounts, there is a dropdown with the domains listed. Forst the domains arent in alphabetical order. Second, with 1100 domains, I can see that becoming a long, unmanagable list. I would prefer a text field so we could just type the domain for the email address. Also, i think the full domain list in that dropdown will eventually fall past teh bottom of the screen making many of the domains unselectable (see aliases below).
-- aliases --
In the admin interface, when you're adding aliases to an account, after you get past about 10 or 11 aliases, the domain list dropdown falls off the bottom of the screen and you cant select anything. I would prefer to have a text field like the Forwards section has.
-- administratively check email --
Since we cant see the users passwords in teh Zimbra admin, the "View Email" button doesnt do me too much good. To see someones email, I would have to usually reset their password and acces the webmail. There are definitely times that I would need to log into a users mailbox and it would be nice to be able to easily do that.
-- client interface --
In the Zimbra client webmail interface (not the admin), there should really be a button for 'Check Mail', I know that the mail flows into the inbox by itself and that you can click on the Inbox to refresh it, while showing the product to end users, thats one of the first things they have been asking me. I've had a few that have tried to refresh the page to check mail again.

A local developer has offered to build a new jail adjacent to the Justice Center, a cost of $65 million, in return for the county leasing it for 30 years at $10 million a year, according to The Enquirer. The developer, Rob Smyjunas, said the offer isn't about making a profit, just making the county better for his and other families.
Mayor Mallory didn't answer The Enquirer's questions about the potential for a Council majority to block the property tax increase in City Manager Milton Dohoney's proposed budget. A Mallory spokesman says he'll work behind the scenes on a budget that will win a Council majority and that he's off to New Orleans for a conference on reclaiming vacant properties.

A population of chinstrap penguins in Antarctica has declined by 36 percent due to melting sea ice.
"Actually, in the '90s it was thought that the climate change would favor the chinstrap penguin, because this species prefers sea waters without ice, unlike the Adelie penguin, which prefers the ice pack," study researcher Andres Barbosa told LiveScience. He added that at the time, chinstraps, named for the thin black facial line from cheek to cheek, seemed to increase in numbers, with some new colonies being established. The sea-ice decline in the winter, however, has become so big that it is now impacting krill populations, said Barbosa, of the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid.

Celebrities such as Bootsy Collins, Nick Lachey and Jerry Springer participated. Cool? Awkward? The city does look pretty nice — shots were filmed at Fountain Square, Great American Ballpark, Findlay Market, the School for Creative and Performing Arts and the Serpentine Wall.
John Edwards is basically off the hook after jurors returned from nine days of deliberations believing that the government did not prove its case. Edwards was found guilty one one charge of accepting illegal campaign contributions to hide his pregnant mistress, but a mistrial was declared on five charges.
President Obama and Mitt Romney
reportedly spoke on the phone yesterday. Romney says they exchanged
pleasantries and congratulations. Obama apparently gave Romney some credit for his health care bill, which sounds kind of passive aggressive.
The nation's unemployment rate is up to 8.2 percent; apparently a third month of disappointing payroll led to the addition of only 69,000 jobs.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is being called "Nanny Bloomberg" in response to his proposed ban on extra large sodas by people such as 18-year-old Johnny Ojeda of Kansas City, who reportedly pounded a 21-ounce soda and its 240 calories in front of Kansas City Star reporters.
"A lot of teenagers get them," said Ojeda,
On the other hand, today is National Donut Day.
And cancer is expected to increase worldwide by 75 percent by 2030, partly due to poor nations adopting unhealthy Westernized lifestyles.
DC Comics' Green Lantern is revealed to be gay in an issue that comes out next week. Green Lantern is one of the comics' oldest heroes and the latest in a growing number of out superheroes. From the San Jose Mercury News:
In May, Marvel Entertainment said super speedster Northstar will marry his longtime boyfriend in the pages of "Astonishing X-Men." DC comics has other gay characters, too, including Kate Kane, the current Batwoman.
And in the pages of Archie Comics, Kevin Keller is one of the gang at Riverdale High School and gay, too.
Some groups have protested the inclusion of gay characters, but Robinson isn't discouraged, noting that being gay is just one aspect to Scott.
"This guy, he's a media mogul, a hero, a dynamic type-A personality and he's gay," Robinson said. "He's a complex character."
We Are Ohio, the organization that helped repeal SB5 last year, says it will team up with nonpartisan Ohio Voters First to help put on the November ballot a constitutional amendment that would change the way legislative and congressional districts are drawn. The effort is in response to Republican-drawn redistricting maps that attempted to create 12 solidly GOP districts and four Democratic districts. The proposal calls for a nonpartisan commission to redraw legislative and congressional boundaries rather than letting politicians and anyone who gives them money do it.
The University of Cincinnati has released a study showing a considerable economic impact from construction of The Banks. Between construction contractors, new residents and visitors to the area's restaurants, the development reportedly will impact the local economy by more than $90 million a year.
The parent company of Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino will host two informational sessions this week to offer local vendors information on how to bid on contracts for supplies and services the entertainment complex will need. The first takes place 6 p.m. tonight at Bell Events Centre near the casino site at 444 Reading Road, and the second is 9 a.m. Thursday at Great American Ball Park.
The Enquirer on Tuesday reported that the University of Cincinnati and Xavier University have agreed to move the Crosstown Shootout to U.S. Bank Arena for two years in response to last year's massive brawl. NBC Sports today reported that the presents of both universities issued a press release in response, stating that no final decision had been made.
The University of Cincinnati and Xavier University were both surprised to see today's announcement concerning the future of the Crosstown Shootout. While both schools are committed to the future of the Crosstown rivalry, specific discussions are ongoing and no details have been finalized. We look forward to sharing our plans with the community at an appropriate time in the coming weeks.
If it does happen, The Enquirer's Bill Koch says it's reasonable, while Paul Daugherty says that's fine but kind of dumb.
President Obama is finding it rather difficult to even win primaries against nobodies in the South. Not that it's surprise or really matters, though.
Of course, there are reasons for these kinds of returns. Few Democrats are voting in these primaries where Obama faces only token opposition; only protest voters are truly motivated.
There's also the fact that Obama is an underdog to Republican candidate Mitt Romney in the states of Kentucky, Arkansas, and West Virginia; Obama lost all three in 2008 to John McCain.
Another potential factor: Race.
Just when you thought Sarah Palin was super reliable, she goes and backs a Utah Republican incumbent over a tea party supported candidate.

The film version of On the Road premiered at the Cannes Film Festival today, 55 years after Jack Kerouac's Beat Generation-defining novel was published. London's The Guardian says the "handsome shots and touching sadness don't compensate for the tedious air of self-congratulation in Walter Salles's road movie."
The ongoing saga involving Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig and his nonexistent policing powers will continue into July, as a hearing scheduled for Thursday has been continued. Craig's attorneys will argue in front of the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission that his prior experience, and certification in three other states, should exempt him from a state rule requiring all officers pass a certification exam before earning police powers. Craig believes he was hired to do things other than study for an entry-level policing test, and some states would already have certified him.
A statewide ban on texting while driving moved through the Ohio House of Representatives yesterday and is expected to be signed into law by Gov. John Kasich. The law makes the writing, sending or reading of a text message while driving a secondary offense, meaning officers may not pull over an adult driver for the act. Teens, however, under House Bill 99 will be prohibited from using any electronic device other than GPS and may be pulled over for it.
Kasich on Tuesday followed through with the GOP plan to overturn its own controversial election law that was to go before voters in November. State Republicans and election officials now say there's no reason for the law to go in front of voters thanks to the 300,000 signatures gathered by President Obama's re-election campaign and other opponents, but opponents of the election law point out that the repeal still reaffirms an election law change that would end early voting the weekend before an election. Democrats plan to keep the issue on the ballot.
But people on both sides of the issue say there's no precedent for a legislative repeal of a bill that also is the subject of a referendum, so it's unclear how a court might rule if a legal challenge is filed.
Jennifer Brunner, a former Democratic secretary of state and a leader in the Fair Elections Ohio campaign that brought the referendum, said Tuesday that the action taken by Gov. John Kasich and Legislature doesn't force the removal of the question from November ballots.
"Since this issue is a case of first impression for any court, we do not see the statement of the Secretary of State to be determinative on this issue," Brunner said in an email. "The issue remains on the ballot."
More drama from Columbus: Republicans are moving forward with a test program requiring some welfare recipients to submit to drug testing in order to continue receiving benefits. Opponents say the process stigmatizes the poor, while the GOP says it's just a simple process involving poor people paying the upfront costs for drug tests, being reimbursed if they pass and living on the streets for six months if they fail.
Northern Kentucky leaders plan to use the revitalization of Over-the-Rhine as a model for reinvesting in their urban core. A nonprofit organization has raised $10 million during the past five years to get started spurring commercial and residential investment.
Two Kentucky high school students who were turned away from their senior prom for arriving as a same-sex couple have argued that if their Catholic high school wants to ban students based on upholding the church's teachings, such a ban should include couples who have had premarital sex and kids who plan to get wasted after the prom.
Apparently viewers of Harry's Law, which was set in Cincinnati and used a stage-version of Arnold's as the lawyer gang's regular hangout, are too old to attract advertising dollars despite their relatively high numbers.
The show ranked very low among viewers ages 18 to 49, the demographic most advertisers care about. In fact, its young-adult numbers were beneath those for "Prime Suspect," a cop show that NBC canceled earlier this season, and roughly on par with those of "Off Their Rockers," the Betty White show about senior citizens pulling pranks on younger people.
"It was a difficult decision," an NBC executive said Sunday, quoted by the site Deadline.com. "Everyone here respects 'Harry's Law' a lot but we were finding it hard to grow the audience for it. Its audience skewed very old and it is hard to monetize that."
President Obama raised $44 million during April for his and other Democratic campaigns.
John Boehner says that when the federal government raises the debt limit again America can expect another prolonged fight about cuts.
George W. Bush has found "freedom" wherever he ended up after having little to offer the GOP after his tumultuous two terms as president. From ABC News:
We don't see much of Bush these days. He's the president that a lot of people would like to forget, still so toxic that he's widely considered more likely to hurt than help the Republican Party by participating in the 2012 campaign.
Bush's speech Tuesday morning was a rare exception. He spoke in a small, nondescript room to about 200 people about democracy activists, promoting a human rights campaign that's part of the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
His presence on the national stage is perhaps best seen in his presence on the small stage at 1777 F Street. At the end of the affair, Bush and his wife were called back up to be presented with writings by Czech human rights icon Vaclav Havel. They posed for pictures as the audience clapped, and when they were done, Bush glanced around as if unsure what to do next.
He walked back to his seat, but then quickly walked back onto the stage and behind the lectern. He leaned forward into the microphone, paused, and said slyly, "Thanks for coming."
Bush waited a second or two. Then he said, "See ya later."
He waved, and then he left.

A social worker that has written a new book criticizing Cincinnati's development efforts in Over-the-Rhine will conduct a book signing Thursday.
Alice Skirtz, a Cincinnati native, is the author of Econocide: Elimination of the Urban Poor. She will host a book signing from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at Skirtz & Johnston bakery at Findlay Market, 113 West Elder St.
Proceeds from book sales at the event will be given to the Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless. Skirtz is the founding organizer of the coalition.
The book profiles growing economic inequalities in the city that is reflected in policy debates over contentious issues like panhandling, homelessness, planning and funding for affordable housing, zoning for social service agencies and site selection for shelters.
Written from a social worker's perspective, Econocide focuses on advocacy for people who are most vulnerable in society to promote and make sure they're included in the socio-economic policies of local government.
"Based on over 40 years of experience in working with the urban poor, I wrote this book to call attention to how they have become increasingly at risk of being removed permanently from the community and civic life," Skirtz said. "The growth of privatization has led to increasing economic inequities, lessening influence in administrative and legislative affairs, and decreasing access to housing and even public spaces. I intend for this book to lead to a change in how we treat the urban poor."
The book includes a blurb by David Mann, a local attorney who also is an ex-Cincinnati mayor and former congressman.
"You cannot read her book without tears coming to your eyes at some point and without wondering why a supposedly enlightened society cannot better balance the needs of the least among us with overall economic health and viability," Mann wrote. "You will ask yourself why we cannot do better."
UPDATE: The Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless has canceled its Wednesday mock rally for Western & Southern Financial Group. The Coalition Tuesday evening released the following statement: "Due to a change in plans the mock 'Rally to Support Western and Southern' has been canceled. Stay tuned for upcoming gatherings and events to support the Women of the Anna Louise Inn as we fight for the right of self determination."
The following is CityBeat's Tuesday afternoon blog post in response to the event announcement:
The Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless is helping to organize a mock rally to support what it believes is the bullying of the Anna Louise Inn women's shelter by Western & Southern Financial Group. The mock group will be called "Citizens for Corporate Bullies" and will hold signs that say "Greed is Good," "We Support Corporate Bullies," "Poor Women Not Welcome" and "W&S Take Whatever You Want." The event begins a noon May 2 at 4th and Sycamore streets.
The Coalition has created a fake persona who supports W&S's desire to build condos to attract a more desirable class of residents and rhetorically asks, "Besides, what gives the Anna Louis Inn the right to stay in that building just because they own it and it's been there for a hundred years?"
The protest is in response to ongoing legal issues surrounding the Inn's proposed expansion and W&S's development efforts in the neighborhood. CityBeat last October reported on the situation in a story titled, "Putting on the Pressure: Western & Southern won't take 'no' for an answer." The following is an excerpt summarizing the situation then:
Last summer the facility's owners rebuffed an offer from the powerful Western & Southern Financial Group to buy their property, triggering a heated legal battle. The company, located near the Anna Louise Inn in the affluent Lytle Park district on downtown's eastern edge, wanted the site so it could demolish or redevelop the Inn and build upscale condominiums.
After the offer was rejected, the Anna Louise Inn continued with a long-planned renovation and was awarded a $2.7 million loan by Cincinnati City Council. That's when Western & Southern filed a lawsuit against the Inn and the city, alleging zoning violations.
The showdown pits the Inn, opened in 1909 with the help of prominent attorney Charles P. Taft, against a company that ranks in the Fortune 500 and is headed by CEO John Barrett, an ex-chairman of the Cincinnati Business Committee who is widely considered one of the most powerful men in the city.
The facility's owners and some city officials say Western & Southern is trying to use its sizable financial resources publicly, along with its political clout behind the scenes, to strong-arm opponents and get what it wants.
Representatives for W&S have stated that the company's $3 million offer to purchase the building is fair and have also offered to aid the Inn in finding a new location.
WVXU reported that supporters of the Inn held a rally April 4 calling for a quick judgment in a court case that could delay funding for the renovation.
The Enquirer's top boss has told CityBeat that her connection to a major real estate development group was "overlooked" in a lengthy, front-page article about the organization that was published April 15.
Publisher Margaret Buchanan wrote in response to an email that she didn't influence the preparation, editing or placement of an article about the Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC). Buchanan sits on 3CDC's executive committee, and is in charge of overseeing publicity and marketing efforts for the organization.
The Enquirer published a 1,900 word-plus article about 3CDC, lauding the group for its efforts to redevelop Over-the-Rhine despite the economic downturn. Buchanan's role with 3CDC wasn't mentioned, but she told CityBeat it has been disclosed in past articles and will be done again in the future.
Buchanan's response was sent the same day that CityBeat published a column criticizing the lack of disclosure, and questioning whether her role violates The Gannett Co.'s ethical guidelines for news-gathering.
Here's the full text of Buchanan's response:
Over several years, The Cincinnati Enquirer has fully covered the pro's and con's (sic) of 3CDC's development efforts in Over-the-Rhine for our readers and we are very proud of that coverage.
As publisher, I sit on 3CDC's executive committee — and did not influence any of the reporting on this issue. Our editor is completely responsible for all editorial decisions. Typically my participation on this committee is disclosed, although it was overlooked for the article that ran on Sunday, April 15. It will continue to be disclosed in the future.
Margaret Buchanan
A search using the ProQuest database of The Enquirer's archives found that the newspaper has published 481 articles and news briefs mentioning 3CDC since the group began its efforts in 2004. (Given how the database is organized, however, it's likely that some of the entries might be duplicative.)
Of the 481 entries, Buchanan was mentioned in 15 articles. That equates to about 1/32nd of the articles.
Most of the published mentions about Buchanan's ties to 3CDC weren't in articles about the group's retail and residential development projects. Rather, they mostly occurred in articles about 3CDC's efforts to move a homeless shelter away from Over-the-Rhine.
Also, one mention was in an article about the new School for Creative and Performing Arts, while another occurred in a piece marking the 10th anniversary of the police shooting death of Timothy Thomas.
Interestingly, most of the mentions occurred after 2010, when local blogger Jason Haap and CityBeat began publishing items about the lack of disclosure.
This week's Porkopolis column mentioned Gannett's ethics code, which includes such admonishments as "We will remain free of outside interests, investments or business relationships that may compromise the credibility of our news report," and "We will avoid potential conflicts of interest and eliminate inappropriate influence on content."
The code also states "When unavoidable personal or business interests could compromise the newspaper's credibility, such potential conflicts must be disclosed to one's superior and, if relevant, to readers."
In her email, Buchanan didn't address why these rules don't apply to her connection to 3CDC.

My dilemma is I'm 62yrs and have one deer point. Looking at the draw odds I'm never going to draw the best limited deer hunts in WY before I'm too old. I'm still in good shape and can pack in 4 or 5 miles if I have to. I've hunted region D 4 or 5 times in the past and drew 118 deer once. Region D has change a lot since I last hunted it and is in a down cycle. I'm now looking at region R or K. To burn my point in.
My questions, which area has the better chance to kill a 140-160 point buck in. I'll be happy with a buck like that. Which area has the most public land and less hassle's with private land and hunting pressure. I'll be looking at the new MRS for sure but maybe someone that has hunted there can shed some light on these areas.
Another option would be to apply for a hard to draw area and hope to get lucky and pick up an F or M tag after the draw or as a second choice area.
Any thoughts or information on this subject would be appreciated.

Sarkozy's symbolic keynote speech at the CSIS underscores the government's new understanding that there is more to pharmaceuticals than cost-containment. "We now live in a country where health industries are no longer regarded as a problem but as a solution to the end of the economic crisis," enthuses Philippe Lamoureux, general director of LEEM, an organization representing 98% of pharmaceutical industries in France.
Other highly anticipated, and long-awaited, changes include dual pricing for exportation, the possibility to start manufacturing generics before patent expiration, increasing public-private research cooperation, and announcing the national life and health science alliance AVIESAN's new role as the unique interlocutor for private companies willing to cooperate with public research institutions.
Pharmaceuticals contribute significantly to the French economy. In 2008, pharmaceutical revenues reached €47 billion ($58 billion USD), 45% of which are from exports generating a €7 billion ($8.7 billion USD) trade surplus. The industry is responsible for over 100 000 direct and 310 000 indirect jobs. Until recently, it was creating 2500 jobs per year.
France is also a significant market for the international pharmaceutical industry. In 2008, France surpassed Germany to become the world's 3rd largest pharmaceutical market, despite having a headcount that is 20 million less than its neighbour. These numbers reveal, not wayward over-medication, but attest rather to the country's robust social healthcare system and strong tradition in the medical and innovation field. Indeed, French social health insurance (Assurance Maladie), established in 1945, currently finances up to 67.6% of all drug expenses, and universal health coverage was introduced in 2000.
In an industry boasting such performances, why were there so many worries and expectations?
Firstly, 2008 marked the end of a decade of strong and steady growth in the domestic market, due to a cocktail of patent-ending and cost-containment measures to minimize healthcare's chronic deficit, which hit €27 billion ($33 billion USD) in 2009. That's just for employees in the private sector.
Further, there are also fears that France may have lost its attractiveness as a production hub. The sector is indeed facing rough times ahead. Expiring patents will force factories, designed in the 80s-90s era of the "blockbusters" model, to shut, while the country hasn't developed sufficient bioproduction platforms to be able to replace them.

For pro-pot advocates, the biggest day of the year is April 20th, otherwise known as 4/20. Since puff-puff-passing is illegal in most states, smokers converge on the District annually for the Overgrow the Government rally for the legalization of marijuana. No matter what side of the debate you're on, we can all agree that mind-blowing munchies are an issue that we can all support. So here are six of our favorite herb-inspired dishes and drinks, so you can celebrate (legally, of course) on this High Holiday.
It's no shock that a salad shop is overflowing with greens, but it is surprising that one of their leafy creations is inspired by the 1936 anti-pot propaganda film Reefer Madness. The Leafer Madness Cobb ($10) tops Romaine lettuce with grilled chicken, corn, tomato wedges, egg, chive, avocado purée and blue cheese, then drizzles it all with red wine vinaigrette. If you prefer something lighter, you can always go for the Kind Herb ($7), which takes mixed greens and herbs and tosses them with crispy wild rice and vinaigrette. (No, one of the herbs is not marijuana.)
The Inn at Little Washington
You might think you've smoked too much when the mooing, cow-shaped cheese cart rolls through the dining room of this five star restaurant, but we assure you that Faira the fiberglass heifer is absolutely real. One of the selections she bears is Up In Smoke (price varies), which borrows its name from the Cheech & Chong film. Made by River's Edge Chèvre in Oregon, this gourmet goat cheese is wrapped in bourbon-soaked, smoked maple leaves, which gives it a smoky scent and a hazy flavor that Pedro and Anthony would have loved.

Sri Lanka Travel guide
Sri Lanka : Michelin's recommendations
The island of Sri Lanka looks as if it had detached from the Indian subcontinent to add the finishing touch to the Gulf of Bengal. Known in colonial times as Ceylon, the mere mention of its name evokes a host of images, including spices, precious stones, hanging gardens, holy cities - and of course tea. Since 1972 it has reclaimed its old name of Sri Lanka, the "Venerable Place".
A mainly Buddhist country boasting remarkable sanctuaries such as the one at Kandy containing the Palace of the Tooth Relic and gigantic effigies of the Buddha carved out of rock at Buduruvegala, Sri Lanka has been invigorated by the desire of its inhabitants to protect their cultural and natural riches.
After the tragic Tsunami in 2004 the country has been slowly rebuilding, maintaining its long beaches lined with talipot palms, mangrove swamps with hundred-year-old trees, lush forests with enormous foliage, spectacular rocky cliffs in the centre of the island overlooking low-lying plains, chasms, waterfalls and tea plantations.
Its parks and reserves are teeming with a variety of wildlife: elephants, panthers, macaques, wild buffaloes, mongooses, deer... and hundreds of species of butterflies and birds. Some of the areas are on the UNESCO World Heritage List, including Yala, Bundala and Sinharaja. Man has also tamed the exuberant natural forces here, channeling its water to create magnificent gardens.

The United Nations refugee agency has called for an immediate return to calm in western Myanmar's Rakhine state, where ongoing inter-communal violence has uprooted more than 35,000 people.
The Myanmar authorities have granted permission for humanitarian teams to assess the situation and needs in areas affected by unrest that started nearly two weeks ago, according to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which noted that food and shelter are urgently needed for the displaced.
In the last two days, UNHCR staff members have conducted inter-agency visits to several villages in the Myebon, Mrauk-U and Minbya townships, to the east and north-east of Rakhine's state capital, Sittwe.
"The police and army were present in all the villages visited. Our staff spoke to displaced people who shared their fears of being attacked again if the troops leave," UNHCR's spokesperson, Adrian Edwards, told a news briefing in Geneva.
Medical staff in the assessment teams were able to treat many of the wounded during the visits, including people suffering from burns, gunshot and arrow injuries, he added. There were also a number of new mothers – 14 in two villages – who said their labour had been induced by the violence.
A few families said children had been left behind when they fled. Among the children who made it to safety – many were malnourished, Mr. Edwards noted.
"Most of the displaced people UNHCR staff met said they needed food and shelter material," he said. "Aid agencies including UNHCR have sent food and plastic sheets but there are still many needs to be met."
As part of the inter-agency response to the situation in Rakhine state, UNHCR is sending additional plastic sheets, mosquito nets and blankets to areas, including Myebon, Kyauk Taw, Rathedaung and Pauk Taw. Mr. Edwards emphasized that all assistance is being provided on an impartial basis regardless of background or ethnic origin.
The latest wave of unrest brings to 110,000 the total number of people displaced by inter-communal violence in Rakhine state since June this year.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- James Michael McAdoo scored 17 of his 21 points in the first half and sparked the run that gave North Carolina a big lead on the way to beating Florida State 79-58 on Sunday.
Reggie Bullock added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Tar Heels (21-8, 11-5 Atlantic Coast Conference), who won their fifth straight and continued their push for a first-round bye at the league tournament in Greensboro. North Carolina shot 58 percent in the opening half to build a 19-point lead at the break, then never let it slip below double figures.
McAdoo scored 11 during the 20-3 first-half run that blew the game open and helped the Tar Heels to a season sweep of the Seminoles (15-14, 7-9). UNC finished the game shooting 55 percent and scored 23 points off turnovers.
Michael Snaer scored 17 to lead Florida State, which has lost five of seven.

The IRS deadline of April 18th is coming soon. File fast, for FREE with TurboTax Federal Free Edition.
Before HBO's Girls was set to premiere this past spring, the comedy about 20-something struggling post-grads in New York City sparked a debate about race and representation in Hollywood. My initial thoughts after I finished the first episode of Girls? Sure, it was hard for me to relate to anything that was going on on the show (I'm not white, I don't come from a privileged, wealthy background, nor do I live in New York City), but I was immensely surprised at how entertaining I found the show to be — namely the awkwardness/quirkiness of the female lead characters. Lena Dunham, who impressively writes, directs and stars in the show, has already been hailed as the next Tina Fey.
Dunham has yet to be dubbed the "voice of her generation" (as her character in Girls states) — and rightfully so. Having such a title bears the social responsibility of, well, speaking for a diverse generation of people who come from different backgrounds and experiences. Fact of the matter is, Dunham is talented — her writing is witty, intelligent and full of charisma. Girls speaks of her own personal experiences; as that saying goes, write what you know. And she does a damn good job of it. Instead of pointing fingers at Dunham, we should be asking the programming departments of major television networks about the diversity in their programming — I mean, they are responsible for
what gets on the air.
Shortly after Girls aired, the extended trailer for FOX's The Mindy Project premiered and, of course, was met with much applause. It's been a while since an Asian American woman has taken the reigns of a comedy on a major televisionnetwork and, well, it looks like Mindy Kaling has hit it on the head. However, Kaling still sits alone, as we have yet to really see excellent programming starring Asian American talent that's also relatable. (Sorry Maggie Q — I wish I could relate to your kick-ass assassin character, but it's just not happening.) One could argue that Asian American programming now has a place on YouTube. You have your WongFu boys, KevJumbas and Ryan Higas. In a significant move, there's now the YouTube Original Channels, which features programming in entertainment, beauty, sports and technology. This includes Michelle Phan's FAWN (For All Women Network) and the Asian American pop culture blog's YOMYOMF (You Offend Me, You Offend My Family). Speaking of the YOMYOMF Channel, I should make note of BFFs. BFFs is a comedy webseries that features Asian American actresses in the leading roles. While the series was met with lukewarm reactions, I have to say it's a start, which is better than nothing at all.
If there's anything I can truly criticize, it's that there's not enough self-expression among this generation. When the reality show K-Town (on YouTube's Loud Channel) surfaced, it was met with so much negativity from Asian Americans whwere afraid of how they were going to be represented. But in all honesty, have our purported "positive" stereotypes (read: the model minority) played in our favor in American society? Going along with this idea of social responsibility, the key thing to note is that there are multiple voices of this generation, but many of them go unspoken. Dunham, Kaling or YouTube celebrities should not be the only ones speaking for us. Whether their work makes us happy, angry, sad or stir any sort of emotion, rather than sit back and mouth off on our soap boxes about what we think others are doing, think about what we can do right. We're all quick to hate on each other; instead, let's let theseconversations inspire one another.

(reprinted from reddit discussion on large photoshop files)
I have done something silly, and over the span of the last few years I have 'painted' myself in to a corner.
Allow me to explain. More than ten years ago I had a highly detailed paper map of my fantasy Roleplaying stuff. The map dated back well in to the 1980s, and evolved a lot over the years. However towards the mid 90s I moved the old map in to a new context, loosely based on the six Kingdoms in H.P. Lovecrafts Dreamlands. So I scanned my old map, probably somewhere ten years ago, and started repainting it in photoshop.
This went great ! Just doing this I learned a lot about layers, effects, how to paint mountains. I started with a small central area 5000 by 5000 pixels. But then I did the stupid thing. I started making the canvas bigger. And bigger. And bigger. Now the canvas is so large I don't even want to say here how big. It has dozens of layers and it is so many gigabytes I equally don't want to share. Some friend calculated how to long it would take to finish and it would be years, if I worked at it on a daily basis. Printed on 300dpi it would be bigger than several meters. Several years ago I could and I did but right now I can't. Very peculiar.
The total file is 50.000 pixels from north to south, and 40.000 pixels east to west. I have recently cut it up in 20 sections of each just over 10.000 pixels side by side, since it had lagged my PC to a standstill. I intend to restart work on the inner Kingdoms section radiating outwards. I tried posting it here, but for some uncanny reason I am not allowed to.

Born on Jan. 29, 1970 in Milwaukee, WI, Graham was raised in a strict Catholic home by her father, Jim, a retired FBI agent, and her mother, Joan, a teacher and author of children's poetry. When she was four, her parents moved the family - which included younger sister, Aimee - to Virginia, which was soon followed by another move to Agoura Hills, CA, where she was surrounded by monotony and conservatism. Always one to indulge in play acting as a child, Graham chased after her dream while still a student at Agoura High School, landing an agent, commercials and an episode of "Growing Pains" (ABC, 1985-1992) by the time she was 16.
