If your lip care regimen begins and ends with lip balm, you are robbing yourself the opportunity for truly soft, luscious, kissable lips. Ordinary lip balms simply apply a barrier to the outermost layer of the lips and impart just a slight amount of moisture into the lower tissue. Unfortunately, the outer surface of the lips is already dead skin cells, making the effectiveness of these formulas minimal at best. To truly care for the lip area, you need a product that can penetrate the outermost layers of skin and nourish the tissue hidden beneath it. The Z. Bigatti Lip Products collection features advanced skin care technology to deliver nutrients and moisture into these vital, lower tissues.
For its Z. Bigatti Lip Products collection, Z. Bigatti uses oglionutrients. These tiny, nourishing molecules in the items included in the Z. Bigatti Lip Products range can enter the hidden lip tissue more easily than traditional ingredients. With each application of the items in the Z. Bigatti Lip Products line, your lips will become more hydrated and smooth, while chapping and cracking heal.
Through their breakthrough oglionutrients, the products in the Z. Bigatti Lip Products collection replenish lost moisture and heal irritation and chapping in the lip area. The products feature a blend of natural ingredients, which are safe for delicate lip tissues without sacrificing their effectiveness. Not just for healing and moisturizing, the lip products made by Z. Bigatti can also diminish signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
The moment you feel the silky texture of Z. Bigatti Lips at Large, you will discover what thousands of other women and leading beauty experts already know: this is no ordinary lip balm! Packed with a host of natural ingredients, like soothing beeswax and castor seed oil, this nourishing lip product not only moistens and softens, but also plumps and fills out the lip tissue. Peppermint oil enhances Lips at Large to reduce inflammation and discomfort associated with chapping and dehydration. The lip balm provides a smooth finish as a base for lipstick as well.
Z. Bigatti Re-Storation Lip Pout resurfaces the delicate lip area to eliminate furrows and creases that occur due to dryness and aging. Its rich shea butter base penetrates deeply into lip tissue to replace moisture lost to arid climates and dry, winter air. The lip balm also contains an anti-aging complex full of antioxidants to protect your lips from the damaging effects of free radicals in the atmosphere. Producing immediate results upon application, Re-Storation Lip Pout is a must-have beauty secret for quick fixes.

WVU's Mountaineer is 'living the dream'
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- To Mountaineer fans everywhere, Jonathan Kimble is the face of WVU. The Mountaineer mascot presents a different face to ESPN GameDay commentator Lee Corso.
Each year, ESPN produces humorous commercials to promote College GameDay during football season. In one released last week featuring WVU, hosts Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler interview head football coach Dana Holgorsen, while Corso hovers in the background and stares off screen.
When Herbstreit asks Corso if he has any questions for Holgorsen, a distracted Corso asks, "Yeah, what's that guy looking at?" -- as the camera pans to Kimble in full buckskins and coonskin cap, crouching with his rifle and staring down Corso.
"They started airing those commercials last week. I knew exactly when they ran because I would get all kinds of tweets and texts," Kimble said. "It was great to see them on the air as we went into the Baylor game, our first Big 12 game."
Kimble, Holgorsen and the GameDay crew shot the promos in California on USC's campus in May. It's one of several on-camera gigs that Kimble might not have expected when he was named Mountaineer last February. He also traveled to the Big 12 Conference media day in Dallas and met the other 11 mascots, all of whom wear costumes that cover their faces, which inhibit their ability to talk.
"I got to meet them outside their costumes and talk to them," Kimble said. "The mascots put on a great show and joke around, but I'm lucky because I get to communicate with people everywhere I go. I like to tell them great things about West Virginia."
He's all over the promotional pieces, commercials, billboards and photos the university produces. Those extra shootings, on top of the more than 250 appearances he's already made since he assumed duties in April, have taken Kimble's profile up a couple of notches from that of previous Mountaineer mascots.
"Everyone tells me this has to be the best year to be the Mountaineer," said Kimble, who's a graduate student from Franklin. "It's a historic season, with the Big 12. It's just amazing. I've tried out for this position for several years and am thrilled to be here now."
WVU is one of four colleges featured in the 2012 GameDay promos. The other three are the University of South Florida, University of Southern California and the University of Georgia.
"I've always watched those commercials and laughed. Now I get to be part of one and represent WVU in a national commercial," he said. "It was an incredible trip. I got to know the GameDay crew. They were all so relaxed and fun."
Maybe too relaxed. The 30-second commercial took about half a day to film. The GameDay crew, especially Herbstreit, kept laughing and Corso couldn't keep a straight face. There's no question in Kimble's mind that he would win an actual stare-down contest with Corso.
Kimble's heard lots of enthusiastic comments about the commercial, as well as the WVU's school promo, "Without Challenge, There Can Be No Mountaineers." In it, a determined Kimble runs through the woods, dodging obstacles until he emerges on a rocky outcrop overlooking a breathtaking view of a forested river valley. It was shot at Coopers Rock, outside Morgantown.
The physical challenge of running through the woods for that video dwindles considerably in comparison to those presented by football games with high scores. Every time the Mountaineers score, Kimble does one pushup for each point on the scoreboard. Quarterback Geno Smith and his explosive offense present a challenge, racking up 70 points in the Baylor game and 69 points against Marshall.
"I did 385 pushups on Saturday. I wouldn't mind doing it again because it should mean we're winning," said Kimble, who trained all summer in anticipation of big offensive numbers. He was back in the gym as usual the Monday after the Baylor game.
Kimble's disciplined approach to his workouts mirrors the organization required to keep up with his studies as a full-time graduate student studying industrial relations. He also finds time for outdoor activities, including a recent bear-hunting session in which he brought along his trademark rifle.
The rifle is passed down through the years, but each Mountaineer has his own set of custom-made buckskins. He is responsible for cleaning them himself and uses a special solution on the buckskin jersey and trousers, which get sodden with sweat during hot games with high pushup-prompting scores.
It's all in a day's work for Kimble, who said he wouldn't trade the job for any other.
"There's nothing I don't like about the job," he said. "I love it all. I'm living the dream."

Annual Fund Support
The College's Annual Fund -- The Berkeley Fund for Natural Resources – gives the Dean flexibility to distribute funds where they are most needed to ensure our students are receiving the best education possible at Cal. Here are several ways your gifts to the Berkeley Fund for Natural Resources support students at the College of Natural Resources.
Sponsored Projects for Undergraduate Research (SPUR)
Gifts from CNR alumni and friends provide 100% of the support for SPUR grants. This program offers a unique opportunity for undergraduate students and faculty to collaborate on research. Want to learn more about the program and some of the research projects? Check out the SPUR page on our website:
CNR Field and Lab Experiences
Gifts to the Annual Fund support CNR Field and Lab Experiences. This is one of the College's hallmark enrichment programs. Alumni from the 1970s still tell stories about the life-changing experiences they had while participating in these programs. While class-room learning is essential, the addition of thoughtful and personal interactions with people running businesses or making policy decisions challenges students to think critically and apply what they've learned in class to real-world issues. http://nature.berkeley.edu/site/funds.php?learn=156
Academic Programs Leading the Undergraduate Success (APLUS)
Gifts to the Annual Fund support the Office of Instruction and Student Affairs initiatives – Academic Programs Leading to Undergraduate Success APLUS – which are designed to increase student success rates within CNR. The overall goal of this effort is to ensure that all students realize their full potential within CNR by increasing the probability for success in courses which are foundational, and present historically serious obstacles to early success even for students who may achieve excellent results later in their careers.
CNR Specific Academic Tutoring Pilot Program
Gifts to the Annual Fund Just launched this new program during the fall 2010 semester, providing CNR specific tutoring in Chemistry 1A and Chemistry 3A with smaller class sizes, CNR centric course materials, and a pool of tutors selected from students that are already in CNR majors.
Student Resources Center
The Student Resource Center opened its doors four years ago with a study hall, a computer lab equipped with 10 computers, and free use of the printer and other office supplies, plus a furnished lounge area where students can rest and socialize between studying. This wonderful CNR student hub was made possible by the generous donations of alumni and friends of the College to the Annual Fund. Learn more: http://nature.berkeley.edu/site/resource_center.php.
Young Faculty Award
The CNR Young Faculty/CE Specialist Award is designed to encourage and recognize excellence in research, teaching or outreach. Awardees are selected based on their ability to inspire independent and original thinking; enthusiasm and vitality in teaching; development of innovative curricula or educational programs, research and discovery at the highest level, distinguished publication record, knowledge and expertise to external communities, involvement in programs or projects outside of academic responsibility, and commitment to the land grant mission.
Faculty retention and recruitment
To ensure that our students continue to receive the best possible education at CNR, it is imperative that the College recruit and retain excellent teachers and researchers. Our current CNR Faculty includes:
• 2 Wolf Prizes
• 3 MacArthur Prizes
• 12 National Academy of Science Members
• 23 American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellows
• 8 American Academy of Arts and Sciences Members
• 17 Fulbright Fellows
• 12 Guggenheim Fellows
• 2 World Food Prizes
• 2 California Academy of Arts & Sciences Members
• 6 UC Distinguished Teaching Awards
• 1 Greenwall Faculty Scholar
For more information please contact the Office of College Relations at (510) 642-6707, or email email@example.com.
Endowed funds provide a permanent source of income to meet the needs of CNR faculty and students. These funds may be named for the donor or someone the donor wishes to honor. Endowed funds are managed by the UC Berkeley Foundation or The Regents of the University of California. Endowments are invested and only a portion of the income is released for a designated purpose. The remaining income is added back to principal so that the endowment grows over time. Endowed funds may be unrestricted or restricted for a specific purpose, such as chairs, distinguished professorships or fellowships. They may be established through an outright gift of cash or securities or a planned gift or bequest.
For more information please contact the Office of College Relations at (510) 643-8860, or email email@example.com.
Memorial/Honorary Funds
A memorial fund can help perpetuate the values and ideals that guided someone's life. Typically memorial funds are established for a specific purpose.
Honorary funds can commemorate a significant event or someone who is still living.
Memorial or honorary gifts may be given to the Berkeley Fund for Natural Resources.
For more information please contact the Office of College Relations at (510) 643-8860, or email email@example.com.
Restricted Current-Use
Restricted current-use funds are established to support the funds' designated purpose. These funds allow CNR the flexibility to support unique programs and opportunities as they are presented. You may designate your giving to an existing restricted fund that meets your philanthropic objectives or you may wish to establish a new fund.

Capital Support
CNR Strategic Facilities Plan
CNR seeks to raise funds to make critical infrastructure renovations and technology upgrades, to improve its research and classroom facilities, and to preserve some of California's most beautiful and historic academic buildings. In the fall of 2010, CNR completed its first capital improvement project on the ground floor of Morgan Hall – home to our Department of Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology. This was the campuses first LEED Certified laboratory renovation and the College anticipates this project will be certified Gold LEED. We are particularly proud of this first project because it is in alignment with our vision and values at CNR – in creating a sustainable planet.
Recently, CNR also completed a facilities strategic plan that outlines the many challenges as well as opportunities for the College to improve its aging infrastructure. Through this process CNR has identified Hilgard Hall as the next major capital improvement project. Inscribed on the west façade of Hilgard Hall, a stunning architectural achievement of John Galen Howard, reads the motto: "To rescue for human society the native values of rural life." Built in 1917, this 77,000-square-foot laboratory building lies at the physical and intellectual heart of CNR's efforts to sustain the planet. As the core laboratory facility of UC Berkeley's Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, Hilgard Hall is home to researchers addressing the pressing environmental issues of our time, including climate change, biodiversity, renewable energy, and sustainable ecosystem management. They are also providing the science that informs California as the national leader in environmental policy.
Our vision for Hilgard Hall is a building—held to the highest standards in green design—that accommodates cutting-edge work in environmental chemistry, hydrology, and biological science. Beneath its historic façade, the new Hilgard Hall's modern research space will foster interaction and discovery among ESPM researchers and students.
If you would like to support the Hilgard Hall project please contact Kathryn Moriarty Baldwin at 510-643-6641.
For more information please contact the Office of College Relations at (510) 643-8860, or email email@example.com.

Being raised by a Marine, but more importantly, by someone from the coal mines of Northeastern Pennsylvania, one lesson that was hammered into my head is the importance of putting in hard work. Nothing is ever given to you and if you want something, you're going to need to invest the time, sweat, and effort to get it.
The first time this was applied to my athletics career was the Saturday after I won the 8th grade wrestling championships. After a celebratory visit to McDonald's, my dad told me he was going to take me to the gym the next day. Mind you, the 8th grade championships were the weekend after the 8th grade field trip to Knott's Soak City, an all-day trip to the water park where I decided I didn't need sunscreen. Even though I gutted out (to my rather amateur opinion) 3rd degree sunburn to take home first place, my dad was still going to get me over to the gym to get in a workout.
As we were lifting the next day, he told me that I was getting ahead by coming in to the gym on a day when my competition would be resting or hanging out with friends.
I took that to idea to heart. I view working out as strengthen my body, consuming as much sports media as my head can handle as broadening my knowledge, and jotting down blog posts about my thoughts on Britain's Royal Wedding as honing my writing all as efforts of me bettering myself when my competition is sleeping, partying, or being just plain lazy.
At a larger scale, H.D. Woodson's girls basketball team traveling the nation to play in tournaments against the county's best outfits and sames like this season's Gonzaga/Wootton lacrosse match-up, I see coaches and players taking my father's philosophy personified.
Woodson head coach Frank Oliver is allowed to schedule 12 out of conference games and he fills up his team's schedule with the top teams from states such as New York and California to name a few. Oliver packs up his squad in an airplane or bus--on weekends so his team never misses a day of school--and hits the road out of the District to contend with the nation's best. Since it's proven that the Lady Warriors are heads and shoulders above the DC Public School competition (the Lady Warriors haven't lost a conference game since 2006), Oliver finds other ways to better his squad.
"Exposure to competition is good. You can then visualize what to work for," said Oliver.
Oliver takes his girls on the road to keep his girls sharp in preparation for the City Title game where the DC Public School champ matches up with the winner of the Catholic Conference. The WCAC night in and night out have its team compete in grind-it-out schedule compared to Woodson's conference schedule having evolved into more of a formailty as the Lady Warriors breeze through to another conference championship. Woodson recognizes they need to undertake the extra burdens (financial, academic, etc) in order to avoid being worked like a speed bag at the Verizon Center in March.
Montgomery County boy's lacrosse creditability begins towards the end of the alphabet as Wootton has won straight five-straight regional titles. That same creditability ends once the Patriots make the state semis as Wootton is sent on their merry way home.
And much like Woodson's girl basketball team, Wootton also rips through their regular conference season schedule at a regular clip, enduring a couple close calls and a loss here or there, but nothing that truly challenges them.
Wootton sandwiched in between their league schedule a match-up with WCAC champ Gonzaga, a squad that has sliced through this season's conference slate themselves.
And as both teams season's intersect briefly before they go off into their respective conference tournaments, they will be able enjoy each team's best shot. Rather than squeezing in an easy "W" which would ultimately amount to the equivalent of running wind sprints for a couple hours, the Patriots and Eagles will bash each other's heads in to see where they stand before the postseason. Teams don't truly know how good they are until they play teams as good as or better than them.
In a world where lying, cheating, cutting corners, taking short-cuts (thanks for allowing me to bore you with clichés), sports are one of the few places where that kind of deceit is (mostly) policed and hard work is still the premium. That there is work before there is glory.
It's important that me and you still have that reminder.

This How-To will explain how to get mailman mailing list working with Zimbra. I have tried this on a Fedora Core 4. You may need to adjust certain things for other OSes.
This ONLY works if Zimbra's postfix is able to deliver mail locally. One thing you should note is ALL the domains added to Zimbra are by default 'virtual_mailbox_domains', so if your hostname is set to be one of the virtual mailbox domains, Mailman will NOT work for you.
Zimbra's default install sets following in /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf
You may need to change it to get the local delivery working.Code:$mydestination = localhost localhost.localdomain
I shall leave it to you to figure out how to achieve that. The variations in this regard are so many that covering all possiblities is impossible and I'm not a 'Postfix Expert' by a long shot.
List names must be unique across all virtual domains. For example, you can not have email@example.com and email@example.com.
OK so lets get going.
First download the latest mailman sources. You can find them here.
I followed instruction on mailman documentation page.
Now, ungzip-tar, configure and install. We are going to install mailman under default location, /usr/local/mailman, user mailman and group mailman.
If you want to use Zimbra's httpd running on port 7780, you need the with-cgi-gid option. If you have another web server running, use the group id of that web server here.Code:# As root groupadd mailman useradd -c''GNU Mailman'' -s /sbin/nologin -d /no/home -g mailman mailman cd /usr/local mkdir mailman chgrp mailman mailman chmod a+rx,g+ws mailman
Now compile and install.Code:# As normal user tar xvfz mailman-2.1.7.tgz cd mailman-2.1.7 ./configure with-cgi-gid=zimbra
Now setup the web server. Add following lines at the end of /opt/zimbra/conf/httpd.confCode:# As root make install # following is required only if you are using Zimbra's httpd cd /usr/local/mailman/archives chown zimbra private chmod o-x private # Check your installation /usr/local/mailman/bin/check_perms -f
Now copy mailman icons and then restart apache.Code:# # httpd configuration settings for use with mailman. # ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/ <Directory /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Alias /pipermail/ /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/ <Directory /usr/local/mailman/archives/public> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all # Only if you have internationalized archives AddDefaultCharset Off </Directory> # Uncomment the following line, replacing www.example.com with your server's # name, to redirect queries to /mailman to the listinfo page (recommended). # RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo
Now change postfix configuration.Code:# As User 'zimbra' cd /opt/zimbra/httpd/htdocs mkdir mmimages cp /usr/local/mailman/icons/* mmimages/ zmapachectl stop zmapachectl start
Add/Modify /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf so that following varibles are set as shown.
Add following lines at the end of /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file.Code:virtual_alias_maps = ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-vam.cf,hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases
In the last variable, you need to list all your virtual mailbox domains for which you want to add mailing lists. Remember you should ONLY list your virtual domains here, not your local domain for which postfix delivers mail locally.Code:MTA = 'Postfix' POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postalias' POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postmap' IMAGE_LOGOS = '/mmimages/' DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:7780/mailman/' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = [ 'virtual-domain1.com', 'virtual-domain2.com' ]
Now add your first list on virtual domain.
Now your should be able to visit http://<zimbra host>:7780/mailman/listinfo and browse/create new lists etc. And of course you can always use mailman's command line utilities for list maintainance.Code:# As root # first add a sitewide list called mailman, this is mandatory cd /usr/local/mailman bin/newlist mailman bin/config_list -i data/sitelist.cfg mailman bin/newlist --emailhost=virtual-domain1.com --urlhost=<your zimbra host> <listname> <admin-email-address> <admin-password> # This is just to make sure that aliases and virtual-mailman files get generated. Until you add a virtual-domain based list, virtual-mailman won't be generated. /usr/local/mailman/bin/genaliases # aliases and virtual-mailman must be owned by mailman. chown mailman:mailman /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases* chown mailman:mailman /usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman* # setup mailman cron cd /usr/local/mailman/cron crontab -u mailman crontab.in # setup daemon cp /usr/local/mailman/scripts/mailman /etc/init.d chkconfig --add mailman
Hope this helps.

Guest Opinion
The FAA: a rogue operation?
1 2 3 Next page >
The Federal Aviation Administration is up to its dirty tricks again. It is desperately trying to end the environmental impact study (EIS) being sought by citizens and civic organizations in the greater New York area, and nationally.
EIS reviews make it more difficult for the FAA to have its way in expanding flight operations. These reviews are time-consuming and expensive for the FAA, which has grown used to having its own way. Increasingly, however, citizens are concerned about its policies and imperious attitude.
The FAA has constantly ignored the impact of plane noise and pollution on area residents. That's nothing new. What is new is the magnitude of its assault on communities throughout the greater New York metropolitan area, and around the nation. The FAA has disregarded and violated established flight protocols and standard operating procedures, and has done so without public notice and review. For instance, FAA flight operations at John F. Kennedy International Airport are 24 hours a day when you include freight operations. This abuse raises the questions: When do people sleep comfortably? Can children study at home? Will residents be able to enjoy a barbecue or open their windows for fresh air when flights scream overhead?
The FAA's arrogance is a hindrance to communicating with citizens concerned about the negative impact of its policies on their lives. Most people don't realize that the FAA exists solely to serve the interests of the airline industry. The FAA does not want to hear that people are suffering as a result of its policies. For instance, the FAA displays daily its complete disregard for the dangers of aviation pollution. Yet there is mounting evidence that pollution spewed by planes is a cause of autism. Simply put, airplane emissions are extremely toxic. That is a major reason why the FAA should direct out-to-sea as many flights as possible out to sea. This won't happen because the FAA doesn't care. All it cares about is facilitating the increase in the volume of air travelers and thereby increasing the airline industry's profits.

Election 2013
Mangano proud of his record
County executive looks forward to rematch with Suozzi
1 2 3 Next page >
Nassau County voters might have déjà vu when they visit the polls on Election Day. As they did four years ago, they will have a choice between Republican Ed Mangano and Democrat Tom Suozzi for county executive.
In their last election, which took weeks to settle, Mangano defeated the two-term incumbent Suozzi by fewer than 400 votes. Suozzi is seeking his old job back. On Sept. 10, Suozzi defeated challenger Adam Haber in a primary for the Democratic line in November's election. Haber has since endorsed Suozzi.
Even before he was assured a spot on the ballot, Suozzi, 51, was in full attack-mode against Mangano, specifically criticizing the county executive's financial policies. Last week, Mangano sat down with the Herald to discuss his record and his upcoming election with the man whose job he took four years ago.
"The only answer he ever had to a problem was to raise taxes, raise taxes, raise taxes, and to dream up new taxes," Mangano said of Suozzi. "His only vision is to come up with new ways to tax residents rather than to come up with ways to address the issues."
Mangano, also 51, noted that one of his first acts as county executive nearly four years ago was to repeal the home energy tax that was implemented during the Suozzi administration. Moreover, Mangano said he has not raised property taxes in the past four years.
County debt
The candidates have different views on the county's debt. Suozzi says Mangano has raised it to historical levels. Mangano, citing financial statements released by the accounting firm Deloitte & Touche, shows that county debt was $3 billion when Suozzi took office and $3.45 billion when Suozzi left office. The debt now is about $2.5 million less, the statements show.
Mangano touted his administration's work to create jobs in the county. Nassau County, at 5.9 percent according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, has the lowest unemployment rate in the region, he noted.
"For the first time in a while, we have jobs returning to Nassau County," Mangano said. "Our economic policies are working. We're very proud that we are competing nationally to bring jobs here."

Supporters of a stand-your-ground law claim
the measure would make the public safer by making it easier for people to defend themselves from criminals, but the
research so far shows the law might weaken public safety in a few key areas and actually increase the amount of homicides.
On Wednesday, the Republican-controlled Ohio House passed sweeping gun legislation that would impose a stand-your-ground law in the state. The bill now requires approval from the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate and Republican Gov. John Kasich to become law.
Stand-your-ground laws remove the duty to retreat before using deadly force in self-defense in places in which a person is lawfully allowed. Current Ohio law only maintains a traditional "castle doctrine," which removes the duty to retreat only at a person's home or vehicle.
The laws have grown particularly controversial following the killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman in Florida, where a stand-your-ground law exists but supposedly played a minor role in the trial that allowed Zimmerman to go free.
Regardless of what drove Zimmerman to his actions or allowed him to go free, three major studies found stand-your-ground laws might increase violence and widen racial disparities in the U.S. justice system.
A June 2012 paper from National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and Texas A&M University researchers concluded, "Results indicate (castle doctrine and stand-your-ground) laws do not deter burglary, robbery, or aggravated assault. In contrast, they lead to a statistically significant 8 percent net increase in the number of reported murders and non-negligent manslaughters." The study looked at FBI Uniform Crime Reports from 2000 to 2010 for 21 states, including 17 states with stand-your-ground laws and four states, including Ohio, with castle doctrine laws that only apply to a person's home and vehicle.
Another June 2012 paper from NBER stated, "Our results indicate that Stand Your Ground laws are associated with a significant increase in the number of homicides among whites, especially white males. According to our estimates, between 28 and 33 additional white males are killed each month as a result of these laws. We find no consistent evidence to suggest that these laws increase homicides among blacks." The study looked at monthly data from U.S. Vital Statistics to gauge the effect of stand-your-ground laws on homicides and firearm injuries, with supplemental analysis of data from FBI Supplementary Homicide Reports and the Health Care Utilization Project.
A July 2013 study from the left-leaning Urban Institute found "homicides with a white perpetrator and a black victim are ten times more likely to be ruled justified than cases with a black perpetrator and a white victim, and the gap is larger in states with Stand Your Ground laws." According to the findings, stand-your-ground states are more likely to legally justify white-on-white, white-on-black and black-on-black homicides but not black-on-white homicides. For the study, the Urban Institute used FBI Supplementary Homicide Report data for all 50 states and Washington, D.C., dated between 2005 and 2010.
When confronted with such statistics, supporters of
stand-your-ground laws typically note that violent crime rates dropped in the states that adopted the laws. But, as PolitiFact Florida pointed out in response to Florida Rep. Dennis Baxley, violent crime began dropping before stand-your-ground laws were passed.
The nationwide violent crime rate dropped from 757.7 to 386.3 between 1992 and 2011, with more than half of the drop occurring between 1992 and 1999, according to FBI crime data. The June 2012 paper from NBER found more than 20 states passed traditional castle doctrine or stand-your-ground laws between 2000 and 2010, after the violent crime rate began to drop.
The research could show correlation instead of causation. Perhaps some unnamed factor in states that adopted stand-your-ground laws makes it more likely that they'll see increases in homicides or racial disparities, even as violent crime declines. But, at the very least, it doesn't seem supporters of stand-your-ground laws have the empirical evidence on their side.

Your company may already practice occasional corporate raiding, or it may be something you're considering. But here's another thing you should consider: If you're eyeing your competitors' people, tread carefully.
Although you may think you're playing a fair game, your competitors—and the law—may not agree. And then you may face a costly legal battle, or be prohibited from hiring those people altogether. John Siegal, a member of the noncompete and trade-secrets practice group at Proskauer Rose LLP in New York City, offers the following advice to wanna-be raiders.
What is the conflict in a corporate-raiding lawsuit?
These lawsuits are disputes over attempts to hire entire departments, or to quickly create new capabilities through large-scale hiring binges. These are binges in which the target employer seeks court orders preventing further raiding—even in the absence of noncompete contracts with employees.
Describe a general outline of a corporate-raiding lawsuit.
The company that's losing people claims that the hiring company is interfering with its employment relations, misappropriating its trade secrets, and/or unfairly competing. It can seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction.
The outcome of the case is likely to depend on a lot of things, including the departing employees' knowledge of confidential, proprietary information; the safeguards the prior employer has taken to protect its confidential information; the caution of the hiring company to avoid misusing trade secrets the new employee may have; and the evidence, if any, that the new employer acted with bad intent or predatory motives.
So the suits aren't necessarily about the employees, but about what employees know?
At least from a legal standpoint, employee-raiding cases are often less about people than about confidential, proprietary information and, in some states, customer relationships—how well they're protected, how vital they are and how much access the transferring employee has. In this context, the law reflects economics: If know-how and know-who create value, then the law protects employees from corporate raiders because they're valued by the company being raided.
Then how can HR tell whether an employee is off-limits legally?
Whether the hiring will be enjoined often turns on the legal definition of a trade secret. The law defines a protected trade secret as "any formula, pattern, device or compilation of information which is used in one's business, and which gives an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it." If that sounds broad, it should—trade-secret law is not just limited to technical formulas and scientific information.
What kind of information does the trade-secret law include?
While manufacturing processes, like a food company's "secret recipe," are often found to be trade secrets, so too is a wide array of commonplace business information that employees at all levels routinely encounter. For example, courts have found that revenue projections, plans for future projects, pricing and product strategies, databases, customer lists, contact information and sales reports can all qualify for trade-secret protection.
How can HR tell if the information possessed by potential employees is the sort of trade secret that can cause a court to enjoin the hiring?
The courts have identified six highly fact-intensive factors for evaluating this decision:
- The extent to which the information is known outside of the business
- The extent to which the information is known by employees and others that are involved in the business
- The extent of measures that were taken by the business to guard the secrecy of the information
- The value of the information to the business and its competitors
- The amount of effort or money expended by the business in developing the information
- The ease or difficulty with which the information could be properly acquired or duplicated by others.
These [qualities] may sound complicated, but it boils down to a couple of questions that are simple to ask, but not so simple to answer: Has your competition done an effective job protecting its information? And could you get the information from sources other than your competitor's former employees? Using these tests, a great deal of relatively routine corporate information can qualify as a trade secret.
What are other guidelines for hiring from competitors?
Consider these cardinal rules: Act to benefit yourself, not to hurt the competitor, and watch out for what is in writing.
Every experienced litigator can tell tales of uncovering documents you wouldn't believe people actually created or kept that have blown cases wide open. In one employee-raiding suit, someone at [the raiding company] wrote and distributed a report about an internal presentation of an "action plan" that included as its first item: BE PREDATORY ABOUT PEOPLE in capital letters. The memo actually stated: "Remember, the taking of their people ... makes it even harder on them to do business."
Needless to say, the memo was attached to [the plaintiff's] complaint as Exhibit A. It crippled the fair-competition defense from the outset and the litigation was quickly settled.
Can the employee bring non-proprietary documents from the former employer?
Urge them to leave the competitor's documents behind. Any documents that your new employees bring with them from their old jobs will create real problems in litigation. Where there is smoke, there's often fire, and the existence of any purloined documents—no matter how innocuous—can burn you in court.
Departing employees are not supposed to take company documents with them, and people who do are suspect. The litigation will begin with your competitor requesting documents, so make sure your new hires don't take any—including their Rolodexes —and eliminate this issue at the outset.
How can a company prove it's pursuing the employees, rather than the trade secrets those employees know?
Make sure new employees don't bring any documents with them. Make sure any documents you create in the course of hiring people from a competitor are completely accurate—reflecting your company's desire to hire the people for their general knowledge and experience, not any specific, proprietary information to which they may have had access when employed by your competitor.
Ask yourself these simple, fundamental questions: Are these people I'd want to have around for the long haul, even if they don't know any of my competitor's secrets or don't have my competitor's customer list? Can I honestly tell them I don't want them to use any confidential, proprietary data, documents or customer lists they took from my competitor? Can they do the job for me without misusing the competitor's trade secrets and customer lists? If you're not absolutely certain that the answers to these questions are "yes," you may be in for trouble.
How careful do companies need to be?
Courts will crack down on employee raiding to prevent the misuse of trade secrets, but they are loathe to stop people from taking the job of their choice, especially where there is no contractual noncompete provision. But it still pays to be careful about how you approach a competitor's employees. If the evidence tends to show that you have predatory intent, it can tilt the case against you.
So courts could prohibit employees from working for a particular company if its actions were ruled predatory?
The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery in this country more than 130 years ago, and courts almost never order that people must remain in employment that they wish to leave, but courts frequently do enjoin an employee from going to work for a new employer.
What are the chances of a corporate raider avoiding that kind of situation?
If the new employees sought you out—or even if you identified the group of new hires as part of a broad-based search in which you had interviewed and considered prospects from numerous sources, your chances of prevailing in litigation will be substantially greater.
On the other hand, if the evidence shows that you specifically sought out particular employees in a particular competitor's operation, it will lend credence to the competitor's claim of "bad intent"—that you were seeking its trade secrets, not its bodies, or that you were seeking to hurt it rather than trying to help yourself.
What can an employer do to protect itself?
Take several practical steps to avoid liability if you are sued: Include a representation in new employees' offer letters or employment agreements that they will not use trade secrets from their former employers. Make sure the new employees' job descriptions differ from their prior posts and leave legitimate room for the employees to operate without using trade secrets. Instruct the new employees' colleagues in writing as to subject matters that should not be discussed with them. Most of all, make sure in job interviews and initial meetings on the job that the new employees are honestly committed to fair competition, not to misusing trade secrets and customer lists from their prior jobs.
Employee-raiding litigation is a problem that good management and planning can often avoid. However, even if litigation does occur, the same steps you take to try to avoid litigation will help prepare your defense by making a solid record to use in court.

first id narrow it down to a state than a unit, not a unit than a state! hahaha
I know there are a lot of posts on this topic but I'm going to add another one. I've read as many as I could so I don't need tips on what gear to bring but I do need help on where to hunt. I'm trying to stick to the east side of the state if possible. I'm coming from Indiana so I have quite a drive ahead of me but it will be worth it. I'm not trophy hunting this year due to the fact that I've never been Antelope hunting before so I just want to be successful. Where does everyone recommend I put in to get a tag, I've been reading and am leaning towards unit 43 but I really don't know if that is a wise choice? Any info is appreciated. Sorry for the repeat post just looking for some help.
Thanks again
first id narrow it down to a state than a unit, not a unit than a state! hahaha
The east side of Indiana has Antelope? and to think I drove to WY to get mine!
Do you have any points? Do you want to apply in the regular draw, special draw, 2nd choice, leftover tag, public land, private land, guided? Where should I apply to have a successful hunt is a pretty general question and could have alot of different answers. My advise is find the unit the farthest east with the most public land you have the points to draw and apply for it.
Lol my bad, yes Wyoming. No I have no points, would like to put in for the regular draw, public land, not guided for sure. Sorry I know it was a pretty vague post. I spoke with the Biologist from the Laramie area and he recommended to put in for 43, 38, or 42. Does anyone have experience on these areas?
Thanks again.
Go through the draw odds and find all the units you can draw with 0 points, then look at public land and access in those units and narrow it down from there. Most units you can draw with 0 points will have some access issues and/or limited public land. Do your research on access before you apply.
I went through this process myself recently. There is a lot of research that you need to do in order to make an informed decision on where to apply and in which draw. It is a fun but challenging process.
This forum and others are also great sources of information. I was able to disregard some of the areas that I was interested in just by getting first hand information from those familiar to those areas.
Obtaining BLM maps, Mytopo map, and the GPS chips/downloads that are available are just some of the things that you need to do in order to help the process.
Studying the G & F website..researching draw odds, success, etc is imperative. Contacting biologists and game wardens is yet another element.
PM me if you have any specific questions.

RAINN Issues Statement Regarding Sexual Assaults Committed by American Civilian Contractors
December 19, 2007 – (Washington, DC) – RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), the nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization, issued the following statement today regarding the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security's hearing, "Enforcement of Federal Criminal Law to Protect Americans Working for U.S. Contractors in Iraq":
RAINN applauds the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, and Representative Ted Poe for their quick action and leadership in examining the enforcement of federal criminal laws regarding American civilian contractors abroad. We also commend Jamie Leigh Jones for her courage in going public with her story and testifying today before the subcommittee.
We call on Congress and the Administration to take all steps necessary to investigate the serious allegations of rape and misconduct and to close any jurisdictional loopholes that may exist. Additionally, protocols should be established to ensure that violent crimes committed by American contractors are properly investigated and prosecuted and that the rights granted to victims of sexual assault in the U.S. also apply to those civilian contractors working abroad. The case of Jamie Leigh Jones demonstrates a serious need for oversight of federal agency civilian contractors.
"Civilian contractors working overseas on behalf of American companies face enough dangers. They should not be forced to sacrifice their right to justice if they become a victim of a violent crime," said Scott Berkowitz, president and founder of RAINN, "To be a victim of a sexual assault is devastating. To be a victimized again by the people charged with protecting our citizens and prosecuting offenders is inexcusable." The FBI ranks rape as the most violent crime after murder and only 40% of assaults are reported. According to Berkowitz, "We must do everything we can to create an environment to encourage victims to report and increase confidence that all allegations will be taken seriously and will be investigated thoroughly---regardless of where the attack occurred."
About RAINN
RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) is the nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization and was named one of "America's 100 Best Charities" by Worth magazine. RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline (800.656.HOPE) in partnership with 1,102 local rape crisis centers across the country. The hotline has helped more than one million people since its start in 1994. RAINN is now piloting the National Sexual Assault Online Hotline, the first secure web-based crisis hotline providing live and anonymous support. RAINN also carries out programs to prevent sexual assault, help victims and ensure that rapists are brought to justice.

Nice, little cosy house! The only downside was, that it was hard to find and the second bedroom is separated on the ground floor (description/pictures didn´t match). Also there were a couple of additional costs, that weren`t mentioned in the description. We loved the view and the typical small italian village! The communication with the host was great and he was super helpful.
Muy buen apartamento cerca de Puerto Banus. Ideal para cuatro personas
Lägenheten var fin och hade ett bra läge. Det enda negativa var att bäddsoffa och köksstolar var mycket slitna.
The apartment 'Palais de Justice' is pretty nice. Although it's not actually in the Palais the Justice as the name suggests, it's next to the actual Palais, in the middle of Vieux Nice. In the same street as the apartment you'll find bars, restaurants and local shops, excellent when you want to enjoy the old town of Nice. Excellent place to get to know the town, minutes walk from the beach, the park and other nice places. The boulangerie is just around the corner and you can smell the fresh baked bread in the morning. The apartment itself is comfortable, we stayed there with 4 persons. The fold-out sleeping couch makes actually a good bed an the bed is the bedroom is good as well. Minor points that are good to know: 5th floor, no elevator and some street noise (which is obvious if you want to stay in an authentic building in the narrow, busy streets of Nice)

I'm currently playing around with Ubuntu (9.10) on a PC dual booting Windows XP and Ubuntu.
It would be great if I could do the following:
- install Zimbra Desktop in one OS (e.g. WinXP on an NTFS volume), connect to my mailboxes
- install Zimbra Desktop in the other OS (Utuntu) IN THE SAME directory and have the same data there
This way it would not matter, which OS I boot, ZD would always have the same e-mail database.
Would this work? Has anyone tried this?

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Ray Allen scored 23 points and led the Miami
Heat to a 101-95 win over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.
Although LeBron James (hamstring), Dwyane Wade (ankle) and Chris Bosh (knee)
did not play, Miami was still able to hold its own and take the victory, its
62nd of the season, breaking the franchise's single-season record set by the
1996-97 team.
In addition, Miami also clinched at least a share of the best record in the
NBA and homecourt advantage throughout the entire NBA Playoffs.
Rashard Lewis scored 17 points, Shane Battier added 15 points and Mike Miller
had 14 points and eight rebounds for the Heat.
A.J. Price had a game-high 23 points off the bench for the Wizards, who were
looking to win their 10th straight game at home for the first time since Dec.
13, 2006 - Jan 20, 2007. John Wall nearly recorded a triple-double with 17
points, 11 assists and nine rebounds in defeat.

points to carry the Texas-El Paso Miners to a 65-53 win over the Rice Owls
in a Conference USA bout at the Don Haskins Center.
John Bohannon had 11 points off the bench for UTEP (13-8, 6-2 C-USA) while

against Rice.

Today is International Chocolate Day. However, that's not the focus of this post; in fact, quite the opposite. Although chocolate (particularly dark chocolate) is great when enjoyed in moderation, a healthy lifestyle really does rely predominantly on a healthy, balanced diet.
A diet that consists of mostly whole, unprocessed foods, with lots of fruits and veggies in the mix, is considered to be the healthiest. If that sounds bland and boring to you, think again! Healthy eating can be just as satisfying, if not more so, than eating junk. The trick is having the right kitchen gadgets and experiment with healthy ingredients you love.
Check out a few of our favorite healthy-diet kitchen essentials:
1. Breville 800 BLXL Die-Cast Hemisphere™ Blender, 2. Omega VRT350 Vert Low Speed Juicing System, 3. Fagor Slow Juicer, 4. Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 11" Square Grill Pan 5. Kitchenaid 13-Cup Food Processor, 6. Emile Henry Flame Kabob Grilling Stone and Skewers
For breakfast or a delicious mid-day snack, a refreshing green smoothie* or juice is a great option. With the right blend of yummy fruits and veggies, these super-nutritious drinks are packed with so much vitamins and minerals that are easily absorbed into the body. Investing in a high-quality blender and/or juicer is something your body will reap rewards from for years to come. That's why it's always on our "healthy living" must-have list!
For dinner, opt for lean meats and veggies grilled to perfection. Kabobs** are a really easy option, so is grilled fish with salad or a delicious homemade salsa as a side.

See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 62 reviews.Rating: Best dive boots I ever used
The Atlantic medium sole zipper boot is made from a SEEFLEX Nylon ll Neoprene that has non-slip flexible rubber soles. Designed for cooler temps, the extra thick innersole provdes added warmth and comfort. Made with rubber toe & heel cap and a non-corrosive YKK #10 zipper.
Boots are a pretty easy choice for me, as my feet seem to eat them as fast as I can buy them. The Atlantic Medium Sole boots are exactly what I look for. A great price to go with a nice medium sole that protects my feet while walking across the beach and rocks doing my entry or exit. Toe and heel caps to keep me from wearing it out with my fins foot pocket or strap. And of course a durable zipper to keep me from tearing it apart pulling the tab up with a bit of sand or dirt in it. A lot of good thought seems to have gone into a very reasonably priced boot. Comfort, durability and price. What more can you ask for?

Step 3.
After getting the sketches and reference together I draw the lower legs, torsos and heads separately.
I draw the parts on tracing vellum, over my reference or rough sketches.
I then scan in the pieces and in PS clean up the work. Adjust the levels to get a nice contrasty image, then I select the white and delete it making the background transparent. Using a large red layer stroke I find all the crap that is partially a result of having a dusty scanner. Selecting the background again and then increasing the selection by 1 pxl usually removes most of the crap.

1971 Plymouth Road Runner Interior Restoration - Extreme Interior MakeoverWritten by on February 1, 2007 Improving Interior Aesthetics
There was a reason we got a great deal when we purchased our '71 Road Runner project car-the car was in the standard condition of a used and abused musclecar and needed to be pretty much completely refurbished. Luckily, our Road Runner was fairly complete and came with most of its parts; they just needed some attention before we could re-use them. The interior of our car was no exception as the carpet was tattered and torn, the dash cracked, the headliner all but missing, and the seats were different colors and in desperate need of recovering. Fortunately, with new parts from YearOne, a little help from Emo's Upholstery, and our added labor, giving our car an extreme interior makeover was easier and less expensive than you might think.
Being the do-it-ourselves types and having more time than money, we decided to perform most of the work to our car's interior ourselves. Actually, we've found that with some basic hand tools and good parts, it's pretty easy to make a car's interior look significantly better, it just takes time. You'll remember that it took us about a day to replace the headliner of the car, which we covered in a previous issue. In this issue, we'll tackle the carpet, dash, and, most importantly, the seats to make our car's interior much more aesthetically pleasing. If you have the time and patience, you can do the same to your car with similar results. We aren't shooting for show-stopping perfection here, just a nice interior that looks good and makes the car more pleasing to drive.
The first step of any project should be to evaluate what parts you have, what you'll need, and what can be reconditioned. When we took a close look at the interior of our Road Runner it was a mess. Originally a Winchester Grey color, a previous owner had changed the color of the interior to black. Rather than spending the money and time necessary to change the interior back to grey, we chose to complete the interior in black, which will be a nice contrast to the grey exterior of the car. Not that it would have been too difficult to go back to grey, we just think that enough grey is enough and like the look of a black interior.
Taking a look inside our car, it was obvious that we'd need front and rear seat covers, as well as new carpet, kick panels, and armrests. A quick call to YearOne verified that they had most of our items in stock, so we had our new parts on the way in no time.
While the majority of interior parts for most musclecars are available from aftermarket companies like YearOne, there will always be certain parts that either aren't reproduced or are cost prohibitive to purchase. We'll need to clean up and repaint items such as our lower door panels, dash, and front and rear window trim. Our window cranks and door handles aren't bad enough to warrant rechroming, so we'll just polish them and re-install them in the car. The new carpet is easy to install, and, as you'll see, installing new seat covers is pretty straightforward as well.
When it came to our cracked dashpad, we had a dilemma. While the new part is available, it sure does cost a lot. Since we don't have the original engine for this car, we're not too worried about it being a concourse restoration. our friend Emo at Emo's Upholstery offered us a nice compromise. Rather than recovering our dashpad, which never looks quite factory, the option of a hard, plastic covering called a "cover-lay" is economical and looks similar to the original dashpad. Best of all, Emo installed the cover-lay for less than half the cost of a new dashpad.
With the combination of YearOne parts, some help from our local upholstery shop, and lots of hard work, we made our interior look respectable and much better than the tattered mess that we started with. All told it took us about a week's worth of evenings plus a couple of weekends to do all the work, but the results are well worth it. Our interior looks nearly as good as new, and it makes our car much more pleasurable to drive. After all, everyone else sees the outside of your car, but you have to ride in it. Might as well make it a place you enjoy riding in!

When we got our '71 Road Runner, it didn't have much interior to speak of. Follow along as we give it an extreme interior makeover with new carpet, seat covers, and trim from YearOne.After gutting our Road Runner's interior, we found that, fortunately, our floors were solid. Even so, we treated the minor surface rust and painted any questionable spots. We didn't get fancy, just whatever color rattle-can paint we could find. After all, it all gets hidden by the carpet.While waiting for our parts to arrive, we started sanding the metal frame of our dash and prepping it for paint. This can be done to all of the interior's metal trim.A coat of paint does wonders for the faded, scratched-up dash pieces. The glovebox door and ashtray were given the same treatment.After painting the dash frame, we re-installed the dashpad. This is not a new pad, but our original that was covered with a "cover-lay" by our local upholstery shop, Emo's Upholstery, at about half the cost of a new piece.Starting with the rear half, the new molded carpet was laid in place. We found the YearOne carpet set fit perfectly to the contours of the floor, requiring very little trimming.With the front half of the carpet installed, the hole for the floor shifter can be cut out with a razor or scissors.Our lower door panels were scratched and scuffed, but looked great after a thorough cleaning and a fresh coat of paint.
The seats from our Road Runner needed some serious attention. In addition to being torn, the colors didn't match and the driver seat sagged significantly when sat in.After stripping our seats to the frames, we determined we could reuse the foam and the frames, but definitely needed new seat covers.Close inspection of our seat frames revealed cracks at the front seatback pivot points, as well as several cracked wires under the driver seat which explained why it sagged.Before recovering our seats, we made the necessary repairs to the frames with our Lincoln Mig welder.After the repairs were made, we painted our seat frames to make them look better where they're seen, as well as protecting them against rust.Since we have limited experience at recovering seats, we enlisted the help of our local upholstery shop, Emo's Upholstery. Here, Emo covers the seat frame with padding to protect the foam from the metal frame.The only real specialty tool needed is a pair of hog-ring pliers to install the metal rings that hold the padding, foam, and new covers to the seat frame. If you don't have these, you can find them at most hardware stores.Foam padding was cut to fit all the seat frames and serves to protect the seat foam from the metal frame, as well as adding a little more cushion to the seats as it takes up the space of the compressed original foam.
Prior to re-installing the original seat foam, Emo steams it to give it back some of its cushion and to take out the creases and contours caused by years of wear.By placing the new seat covers outside in the sun, they are heated and become more pliable, making them easier to install and contributing to fewer wrinkles in the finished product.With the new padding and original foam laid over the frame, the new cover was put in place and centered.Starting in the center of the seat, hog-rings were used to hold the new seat cover to the original frame. Be sure to keep the seat cover snug while working toward the outer edges of the seat with the hog-rings.The recovering process was repeated on the front seat and seatbacks, and our seats were ready to re-install in the car.Prior to installing our recovered seats, we cleaned our seatbelts with soap and water and bolted them in place.
We installed our front seat in the car, giving our interior a finished look and getting us one step closer to completing the project.With our new carpet, seats, and interior components installed, you can see the dramatic difference in our car's interior. We did spend a few dollars to get our car looking this good, but we also saved a significant amount by doing most of the work ourselves.

From PESWiki
"Ocean energy" is a term used to describe all forms of renewable energy derived from the sea including wave energy, tidal energy, ocean current energy, offshore wind, salinity gradient energy and ocean thermal gradient energy.
- ZPE / Cold Fusion / Fusion / Ocean Power >
5 big alt-energy letdowns: Ideas that sounded good but... - As the call for a clean-energy savior—to wash away our fossil-fuel sins—grows louder, the number of questionable candidates swells. Should we be looking to photovoltaic or fusion? Turbines or tides? The five "duds" include Zero-point energy; cold fusion, passive collection, hot fusion, sea movement. (Scientific American; Mar 18, 2009) [Let 'em know what YOU think.]
- Ocean Renewable Energy Has Huge Potential But Not Without Giant Hurdles - Today's marine renewable energy industry is commonly compared to the wind industry of the 1980's and early 1990's. At that time, there were many competing technologies being developed and thousands of turbines were broken during the testing process; but it won't take 15 years to catch up. (Renewable Energy World; June 24, 2009)

I am trying to understand the additional benefits of the Apple Desktop Connector given that both Zimbra and iCal now support CalDAV.
With CalDAV (and IMAP + LDAP), we get:
• Sync Apple Mail
• Sync iCal
• Access to the GAL via LDAP for Mail and Address Book.
(LDAP discussed at http://www.zimbra.com/forums/isync-c...directory.html. I don't currently see an easy way to access the GAL in iCal, but this doesn't seem to be a feature of the Apple Desktop Connector, either.)
While the Desktop Connector did allow one to sync Entourage at one time, this no longer seems to be the case for current versions of Zimbra and Entourage 2008: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/isync-c...ge-2008-a.html By the way the information on Entourage support here seems to be a bit misleading, or at least overly vague.
So right now the only benefits I can think of for Desktop Connector are:
• Sync personal address book with Zimbra (yes?)
• Sync personal (non-shared) calendar with Zimbra (yes?)
• Sync personal mail (accounts on non-Zimbra server) with Zimbra (yes?)
• Maybe an easier sync of Zimbra data with iPod/iPhone (?) But if you have Zimbra Mobile, this is largely superfluous.
And the downsides of Desktop Connector:
• Additional cost, if it's the only thing that's driving acquisition of Zimbra Professional edition.
• One more thing to configure and potentially cause confusion.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing, or is Apple Desktop Connector + iSync basically on the way out?
