An escaped inmate is back behind bars, but officials say he didn't go into custody without a fight.
The NC Department of Public Safety says Donnie Travis was caught sometime between midnight and 1 a.m. Friday in Oxford in Granville County. That's about 110 miles away from where Travis escaped in Kinston.
Officials say a deputy spotted Travis in the red pickup truck he used to escape from his work assignment Thursday afternoon. The deputy tried to apprehend Travis at a service station in Oxford, and officials say Travis actually rammed the truck into the deputy's cruiser. In his rush to get away, Travis wrecked the truck on the property of the service station and fled on foot. A two-hour search of the woods ended with the apprehension of Travis near Interstate 85.
The NC Department of Public Safety says Travis will face several additional charges for his escape. He was supposed to be released from the Duplin Correctional Center in Kenansville next March 2013. He was in prison for larceny and communicating threats.
Officials say 38-year-old Donnie Travis escaped this afternoon from the Cunningham Research Station, a state research farm in Kinston.
Travis was last seen at about 4 p.m. and is believed to have stolen a red pickup truck from the farm with yellow state government license tags. The truck is a red 2005 Dodge Ram pickup with license tag number PK-1904.
Travis was serving a maximum sentence of one year and ten months for larceny from a person, misdemeanor larceny and communicating threats.
He is a minimum-custody inmate assigned to Duplin Correctional Center in Kenansville. He was scheduled for release in March 2013.
According to the NC Department of Correction website, Travis has been in and out of prison since 1992. His rap sheet is ten pages long and includes numerous larceny offenses, drug charges and violating a protective order.
Anyone who has seen inmate Donnie Travis or the red pickup, or has information on his whereabouts is asked to call local law enforcement or Duplin Correctional Center at 910-296-0315.

Body jewelry bought from a reputable dealer and going under a professional piercer's needle are not the only two fool proof essentials to help avoid body piercing infections. Along with these two are some other necessary steps that first timers need to take. Experienced/ initiated body piercing enthusiasts can't afford to miss these either and should not even try.
Contaminated body piercing equipment can cause Hepatitis or even HIV. If this does not make you more cautious then I don't know what will! Another fact : Piercing guns cannot be sterilized so it's safer to even get your ears pierced with a needle than with a gun, which is the only thing that a gun is remotely useful for, and we do not feel that it is good for that either.
Follow the simple steps mentioned below and come out of the piercing parlor cool and clean!
- If th quality body jewelry bit is taken care of (i.e it's nickel and other toxins free), then check the body piercing equipment. From sterilized gloves to instruments; everything should be squeaky clean, new, and or sterilized.
- The parlor should be spic and span too and of course the piercer too. If there's even a slightest doubt about the hygiene of the place then don't go ahead with it there, just go to another place.
- Get piercing done where disposable instruments are used and thrown away after single use.
- Listen to all the personal care instructions very carefully and follow them religiously. Out of parlor does not mean out of the danger zone. Body piercing infections usually develop After you leave the piercer.
Not rocket science right? Simple but definitely not passable. These may be the difference between a healthy you or an infected you. 🙂

Like a giant steam vent on a pressure cooker, the law of supply and demand has finally relieved the pressure pharmaceutical companies have felt for the past 10 years from ongoing pay inflation. Enough large pharma companies are downsizing their primary care sales force that it is now becoming an employers' market for qualified primary care reps.
For the first time in more than a decade, the sales force "arms race" has halted. Salaries appear to be leveling off, and pay practices are likely to be less aggressive in the immediate future. If this trend continues, it will have a ripple effect on hiring practices and pay structures. Companies will have the luxury of attracting talent in an environment with lower pay inflation and of choosing from more qualified candidates.
These were some of the findings of the Hay Group's 17th Annual Sales Force Effectiveness Study. (See "About the Survey," left.) However, not all companies—and not all positions in sales and marketing—are experiencing the same loss of prominence as Big Pharma's PCP field reps. In particular, Big, pharma is rethinking its sales force structure and investing in areas like managed care and national account management, which can have a greater impact on sales.All these changes show that the pharmaceutical industry recognizes it's living in a new world—but that a tightening of the belt, when it comes to sales forces, may be just what the doctor ordered.
Hiring: On the Downhill Slope
For the first time in more than a decade, the pharma industry has halted its sales force expansion. In 2007, thousands of reps were hit with pink slips in a much-publicized spate of downsizing.
Of the Big Pharma companies responding to the Hay Group survey, 17 percent have decreased their sales staff by more than 15 percent. This precipitous drop is particularly telling because launch activity—the main driver of sales force ramp-ups—has been steady for the past five years. These major layoffs from Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and others made headlines and indicate major shifts within the industry. But they don't tell the whole story.
As is expected in a climate of major layoffs, the rates of voluntary turnover—when the employee decides to terminate his employment by a company—have also declined. Voluntary turnover was 12 percent in 2007, compared with 15 percent in 2006. This is, however, still a bit higher than the 10 percent we see in sales positions in other industries. The most movement is typically among PCP reps, but interestingly, for the first time, voluntary turnover among PCP reps, hospital reps, and specialty reps was the same. Hospital and specialty reps have begun gravitating toward smaller or midsize companies with more robust pipelines. We are seeing that many of these reps are willing to accept lower pay in exchange for perceived greater job security—a big concern, given that only 17 percent of Big Pharma companies anticipate growth in the next 12 months.

I'm a long time Zimbra user, having used Zimbra for my small company (just me) and my family's (3) email since 2005.
I've just completed a migration from my ZCS 7.2.0 32 running on Ubuntu 8.04 32b to ZCS 7.2.4 64b running on Ubuntu 10.04 64b.
My final goal was to get to ZCS 8.0.4 64b on Ubuntu 12.04 64b....but after 2 days and countless hacks.....this has failed.
The actual install (install.sh) script never failed to run on any of the intermediate Virtual Machines I had set up in order to facilitate the migration from a 32 bit platform to the final 64 bit platform.
The plan was simple..and as follows...
backup ZCS 7.2.0 32 ubuntu 32b bit to my linux workstation as ../z720u8/
install/create ubuntu 8 32b vm (u832vm)
migrate zcs 7.2.0 to zcs 7.2.4 32b on u832vm.
install/create ubuntu 8 64b vm (u864vm).
migrate zcs184.108.40.206b to zcs184.108.40.206b on u864vm...this was the most difficult part....but worked very nicely..found guide in zimbra wiki.
install/create ubuntu 12.04 64b vm (u1264vm).
migrate zcs7.2.4 64b to u1264vm.....which worked very well in the vm.....the vm only.
NOTE: each vm was configured with a 40gb hard disk and only 1 (one) gb of ram.
since the migration appeared to work in the vm's...(VirtualBox)...I then installed ubuntu 12.04 64b server on the actual hardware computer...that only had 1gb of ram.....and then attempted to migrate the zcs installation from the u1264vm to the physical machine. This did not work....and I was very surprised. The install script ran correctly up to the point that it started the zcs services...and then tried to install the zimlets......and the whole process came to a screeching halt......did not actually stop...but the system's kernel ran out of memory and swap file space.....and nothing I did could correct it. I tried the swappiness sysctl setting of 0...this did not work.
I then thought...oh..maybe I skipped migrating the files to ubuntu 10 64 b on zcs 7.2.4........so I did this on my vm machine....
install/create ubuntu 10.04 64b vm (u1064vm).
migrate zcs 7.2.4 from u864vm to u1064vm...which worked very well.
migrate zcs 7.2.4 from u1064vm to u1264vm which worked very well.....
But then the move from the u1264vm to the physical machine running ubuntu 12 64b ran into the same out-of-memory error. Damn. I either need a shit-load amount of ram.....but research into the forum I found links of people having the same problem with 8.0.4 on machines with loads of ram..5 and 6 and 12 gb machines...all having the same out of memory errors.....some right away...others reporting that it would happen withing 48 hours....hmm...
...my conclusion...those that had a successfull migration to 8.0.4....might not have gone directly to 8.0.4.....but to one of the earlier 8.0.x releases....damn....and that is what I saw a lot of....in the forums.
so..my final solution...not optimal...was to migrate the installation from the u1064b vm (ZCS 7.2.4 64b) to my physical machine now running ubuntu 10.04 64b lts linux...and be happy with this for now.
When I have a machine with lots more ram than 1gb I will try the migration from ubuntu 10 64b up to ubuntu 12 64b with zcs 8.0.4 64b.....or maybe I will try to migrate to zcs 8.0.4 64b on the physical ubuntu 10 64b box.......but after 2 days.....I need a break.....and I might look at other email solutions that might be better suited to an installation of my size....4 mailboxes...lol...:)

Jillian is Out, Two New Coaches are in. Biggest Loser Shakes it up for Season 16
The season premiere of The Biggest Loser is still 71 long days away but NBC is already announcing big changes for the 16th year. This year, Jillian fans will mourn her departure as two new J-name trainers take center stage.
Why, Jillian? Why?
On June 25, NBC announced the news of Jillian's departure saying, "The Biggest Loser and Jillian Michaels have decided to part ways and she will not be returning for season 16 when it airs in the fall."
This will be Jillian's third exit from the popular weight loss program.
Whoa! Jillian Michaels Exposes Nude Figure in Shape Magazine July Issue
New Coaches? Hold me. I don't even know.
In Jillian's absence, NBC will have big shoes to fill, and evidently it takes two new coaches to do it. With the addition of Jessie Pavelka and Jennifer Widestrom, the coach tally climbs to four. Dolvett Quince, Bob Harper, and host Alison Sweeney have all signed on for season 16.
This will be just the second time in BL history that four coaches have been available to help contestants.

*stand up.* *Begin-slow-clap* Everyone loves it so far! Excellent work!
This looks very nice so far Ravells!
Great! Its amazing so far
Excellent update!! I recommend making your rivers less straight and be more curvy, however. Let them meander over the flatter areas as very straight paths tend to happen more in steep mountain valleys. Glacier covered lands tend to have rivers flowing under the surface and not always on top also. Look up melt water on wikipedia. It may not be your design but I'd be mindful of rivers forming in deserts. Usually they are fed by areas that get a lot of rain fall or some other water source. The Nile for instance runs through a desert (and has fertile ground next to it) but is fed by highland rains way down south of and in Ethiopia. So long as you are aware of that and can imply it somehow but again, it is not your design necessarily as it is a commission right? I was fonder of the less saturated colours in the previous edition, especially in the ocean. I would make it a calmer blue so it is not so overpowering.

I can't wait to see the next version
Sorry, lots on in r/l at the moment! Hope to get something to you soon! Thanks for the crits, Viking! I'm not sure what the scale of this map is, lol! I'm afraid (unless Corey corrects me) the desert river is part of his world, so I guess it's there to say. The nile crossed my mind as well. I'm assuming that the scale of this map is close to world size which means that the meanders in the rivers are for the most part too small at this scale to portray...well that's my excuse!
Last edited by ravells; 10-03-2013 at 05:56 PM.
If I may make a correction, as you've stated- the river should not be in the middle of the desert, it should- rather- in the desert along the mountains, as the high altitudes capture clouds and send them up, causing rainfall. The resulting runoff from the precipitation is what forms that river.

To Know Where Biosimilars Are Going,...
The Various Segments that Comprise the...
It Remains Extremely Challenging to Identify...
Researchers Are Developing Ways to Edit...
Evotec is adding Agilent Technologies' RapidFire mass spectrometry analysis capabilities to its high-throughput screening facilities in Hamburg. RapidFire is an in-line solid-phase extraction technology. It enables ultrafast, direct analysis of native compounds for a variety of biochemical assays including routine ADME and lead discovery applications across a range of therapeutic areas.
Evotec reports that it is the first pharmaceutical contract research organization in Europe to offer these services. Its Hamburg site will house this Agilent technology including multiple RapidFire systems and 6460 Triple Quadrupole instrumentation.
"Evotec is the ideal partner for Agilent Technologies as we expand this industry-leading platform into the European contract research market," says Gustavo Salem, Agilent vp and GM, biological systems division. "Evotec's leadership role as a drug discovery service provider will ensure that this market is exposed to the capabilities of Agilent's RapidFire and gold-standard mass spectrometry platforms."
Agilent obtained the RapidFire system when it acquired Biocius Life Sciences last March. The screening technology provides results 10 to 100 times faster than traditional methods, according to Agilent.

ACT reports strong trailer growth in February
March 25, 2011
Class 8 vehicle commercial trailer net orders increased more than 25 percent—to 21,990—in February over January, according to data from ACT Research Co., a provider of data and analysis for trucks and other commercial vehicles.
In its most recent "State of the Industry: U.S. Trailers" report, ACT said all nine of the trailer categories it tracks posted annual gains for net orders and shipments, with Dry Van net orders up more than 90 percent and shipments up nearly 225 percent.
"The ramp-up in orders that we've been tracking has continued into 2011. Year-to-date, total net orders are up over 87 percent compared to 2010", said Kenny Vieth, president and senior analyst with ACT Research, in a statement. "Shipments are up an even stronger 116 percent when compared to the first two months of 2010. Strong orders and rising backlogs set the stage for solid industry performance during 2011."
In a recent interview with LM, Vieth said that "all the stars are aligning" when it comes to Class 8 demand and the current environment.
As 2010 progressed, Vieth said there was a continued shrinkage of Class 8 fleets, with fewer Class 8 trucks on the road at the end of 2010 than there were at the beginning of 2010.
"We had growing freight volume throughout 2010, especially in the first half of the year," said Vieth. "With freight growing and the tractor supply falling, trucker profitability rose. And used truck prices went up throughout the year. In December 2009, the average used truck price was roughly $35,000-to-$36,000, and at the end of 2010 that price was more than $43,000."

LEXINGTON, Va., Aug. 21, 2011
Matriculation for the class of 2015 was well under way by mid-morning Aug. 20 as anxious new cadets declared academic majors, registered for classes and signed VMI's venerable Matriculation Book. "It's kind of an organized chaos that all comes together," said Lt. Col. William Oliver, VMI's associate registrar, as he surveyed the floor of Cameron Hall, which was crammed with tables and booths representing various academic and ROTC departments and NCAA athletics. New cadets moved from table to table accompanied by parents who took pictures and offered a chin-up to an apprehensive son or daughter. In some cases it was the parents who needed a chin-up. "You have parents who are excited for the new adventure, and you have parents who are worried about their kids," said Tom Johnson, a Parents Council co-president with his wife, Karen. "We try to bring the parents together and reassure them; VMI is family," Johnson said. Sometimes cadets come to matriculation day unaccompanied by parents. Steve and Kitty Coor, Parents Council co-vice presidents, spent much of their day accompanying a rat from Colorado who arrived on post by himself. "We wanted to do it because we have been through this before with our son, Patrick, and we wanted to go through the experience again," said Steve Coor. "Plus we didn't want this cadet to be alone." By early afternoon the incoming rat class totaled 509, including 56 women and 122 NCAA athletes. Col. Vernon Beitzel '72, VMI's director of admissions, said members of the Class of 2015 were selected from a pool of 2, 243 applicants, a 25 percent increase over the previous year, and the largest number in VMI history. Seven foreign countries and 34 states are represented in the class, of whom 57 percent of cadets are in-state students. VMI's Superintendent, Gen. J.H. Binford Peay III '62, welcomed new cadets and parents Saturday afternoon. Following the address, cadets left Cameron Hall in companies to begin their nine-day cadre period. Capt. Chris Perry '05, assistant commandant for cadet life, said the Class of 2015 will be in the hands of one the best cadre teams VMI has produced. "It's still intense but it's a different kind of intense," said Perry, recalling his own days on the Rat Line. "Today the mission is different: you take care of your people, not weed out the weak." –George Abry

Astonishing. It's an easy term to bandy around (and god knows I'm possibly more guilty of doing so than most), but from time to time, one is simply so taken aback that the term "astonishing" is really all that fits the bill. I found myself using that particular word on approximately a dozen occasions, when my good lady wife and I visited Purl earlier this year. Just as it is usually possible to accurately assess the competence of a curry house by ordering a simple Madras, the 'control' drink in any half-decent cocktail bar, for me, is a martini cocktail. Good glassware – points; correctly chilled glass – yet more points; really, really good Sicilian lemons for the twist, many points. If, however, as in the case of one restaurant recently visited who shall remain nameless – you serve it in a chipped glass, complete with crushed ice, and a slice of lemon, you're scoring very low indeed.

The state Natural Resources Commission has approved quotas for the number of licenses sold to hunt deer without antlers this year.
A total of 666,800 antler-less deer licenses will be available, down from 715,700 available last year. The reduction reflects a smaller deer herd in the Upper Peninsula and northern Michigan.
In the Upper Peninsula, the number of antler-less licenses will drop by 12,300 in 2004. There will be 41,600 fewer licenses available in northern Michigan.
Rodney Clute, a state Department of Natural Resources specialist, said Monday the quotas were lowered in areas where the state wants to let the deer populations grow.
Antler-less licenses will not be available in Lake and Wexford counties this year.

Market Wrap: Stocks End Mixed After a Sizzling Alibaba IPO

From Microsoft scoring millions of Office app downloads for iPads to bookseller Barnes & Noble losing a big supporter, there were plenty of wonders and blunders this week.
Speculation over the launch of an Apple iCar has excited the tech industry for some time, and now it looks as if the wait is finally over.
With cold weather across much of the country so extreme it grounded some airlines, even stocks found it tough to fly Monday -- especially those associated with air travel.
Wall Street showed Apple no love Tuesday after it debuted its new iPhones. Shares of the world's largest consumer tech company fell 2 percent. Here's why:

Among the events that will move the stock market this week -- big changes for a smartphone pioneer in trouble, and a big debut for a video streaming service trying to keep its momentum. Here's your quick guide to the days ahead on Wall Street.
Walking the floor at the Consumer Electronics Show, you don't see many PCs: Everyone is using tablets. With all the Web just an uttered sentence or touchscreen away, PCs just aren't portable enough, which is why the focus at CES is on devices you'll hold in your hand or control via remote.
With Hurricane Sandy approaching landfall in the Northeast, the major stock exchanges didn't want to take chances. There were no stock orders executed on Monday. There will be no trading on Tuesday, either.
Hurricane Sandy may have closed the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange Monday, and possibly longer, but trading will continue on the Big Board electronically, and that means there's still stocks worth watching: Sirius XM Radio, for example.
Netflix is having a hard time keeping up with its past. Shares of the video service provider tumbled on Tuesday night after posting disappointing domestic subscriber numbers in its latest quarter.
Apple has pushed iOS 6 live with a long list of new features, like system-wide Facebook integration, Passbook, and a much improved Siri. But while the upgrade offers a lot of new stuff, not everyone will get all of it. What will iOS 6 add to your device? The experts at TechCrunch break it down.
If you thought that all the hype leading up to last week's unveiling of Apple's iPhone 5 was over, you'd be wrong. The party continues for the world's most valuable company -- which just got even more valuable after racing to an all-time high on Friday.
Apple has finally introduced the iPhone 5. Smartphone fans and Apple investors are naturally excited: The very nature of the shiny new handset and the bar-raising nature of some of its features will send out ripples far beyond Cupertino.
Apple reported disappointing third-quarter earnings Tuesday, but investor attention is shifting to the company's most important product, the iPhone 5. Here are some of the new features we expect for the latest version of the iconic smartphone:
If you haven't bought an iPhone to avoid being trapped in an expensive two-year contract, Leap Wireless subsidiary Cricket has a new prepaid plan with no strings. The savings look impressive, but be warned: You'll sacrifice plenty of what makes the iPhone great.
What do IBM and the ACLU have against Siri? Because every time you use your iPhone's Siri or Dictation functions, what you say gets recorded -- and sent to Apple.
All weekend I've been trying to come up with some glaring weakness in the new iPad. It's escaping me.
Every time Apple rolls out a new iPad model, potential buyers find themselves with more options to ponder. Before you head off to the Apple circus, let's go over the pros and cons of each model on offer so you can figure out exactly which one is best for you.
Given all of the hype ahead of Wednesday's unveiling, it's surprising to see how right the leading analysts and tech bloggers were in nailing Apple's new iPad. But that doesn't mean there weren't a few surprises out of the Cupertino powerhouse.
Microsoft Kinect -- the camera-based motion controller for the Xbox 360 -- is coming to a computer near you next month. How will an accessory that seems more suited to video games fit with the way you use your PC? Much better than you might guess.

Loading blog articles, this will just take a moment!
Uthando South Africa wins at Indaba 2013
At the heart of responsible tourism is a new generation of responsible travellers who are seeking real, meaningful and authentic experiences and are in tune with responsible lifestyle practices such as buying fair-trade products and experiences, and supporting community tourism. Cape Town has been working towards being a responsible and sustainable city and destination for many years and we have again seen an increase in responsible tourism awareness, products and practices at Indaba 2013.

Discovering Langa – a photo essay
Langa, South Africa's oldest township, was established in 1923 as part of the then Urban Areas Act. Similar to Nyanga, Gugulethu and Khayelitsha, Langa is one of the areas in South Africa that was designated for black Africans before the apartheid epoch. The name Langa means "sun" in Xhosa, but the name of the area is actually derived from the name Langalibalele – a famous chief who was imprisoned on Robben Island for rebelling against the government.

Design Indaba inspires Cape Town
A comment from a visitor to the Design Indaba, on what makes Cape Town a great design city. Photo courtesy Ingrid Sinclair Hailed by thought leaders like Michael Wolff and Dana Arnett as the top international design conference in the world, Design Indaba has captured the city this week – the energy was palpable as delegates from all corners of the globe were welcomed into Cape Town's creative heart. Not only was the city's beauty and fabulous weather celebrated by speakers from abroad, but our people also clearly left an impression. Tim Beard of Bibliothèque, one of the UK's top design agencies, said, "The warm hospitality of Cape Town is unsurpassed"
Cape to Rio connections
Photo by Skye Grove The links between South Africa and Brazil can be drawn back a long way. The seas that supposedly divide these two countries in some sense unite them. Both ancient ships and hi-tech yachts have charted their course along these ocean lines. Pedro Cabral, the 15th century Portuguese explorer, was on his way to the Cape of Storms (named so by Bartolomeu Dias, another Portuguese explorer of the age, and one of Cabral's contemporaries) when he landed on the coast of Brazil.
World AIDS Day in Cape Town
Since 1988, World AIDS Day has been about raising money for, heightening awareness of, combating prejudice through and improving education around AIDS-related efforts. In 2010, Cape Town will be part of global efforts to raise awareness around HIV/AIDS, as part of both the (RED) and the Lights for Rights campaigns, by illuminating Table Mountain with red lights from 19h00 until midnight tonight. The (RED) campaign raises money for the Global Fund, the biggest pot of money dedicated to overcoming AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, by co-branding products and releasing them in limited (RED) editions, donating up to 50% of the proceeds. One of the components of this campaign involves turning iconic landmarks around the world red. The initiative dovetails well with the Lights for Rights campaign, which places emphasis on "shining a light on human rights" in relation to HIV and AIDS, drawing global attention to the rights of those infected and affected by HIV.
Cape Town makes visitor safety a priority this summer season

(Reuters) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it planned to phase out the use of some antibiotics in animals used for food, to prevent bacteria from becoming resistant to drugs used to treat humans.
In guidance issued on Wednesday, the FDA asked pharmaceutical companies to voluntarily revise labels of medically important antibiotics to remove references to use in animal production.
"Because antimicrobial drug use in both humans and animals can contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance, it is important to use these drugs only when medically necessary," the FDA said in a release.
The FDA said its plan focuses on antimicrobial drugs that are important for treating human infection and which are approved for use in feed and water of food animals.
The agency on Wednesday issued a "final guidance," directing animal health companies to voluntarily remove animal-production uses from the labels of their medicines. Moreover, the guidance will bring the drugs under oversight of veterinarians by changing the over-the-counter status of the products.
The FDA said it will require animal pharmaceutical companies to notify the agency within three months of their intent to adopt its strategy. The companies would then have three years to complete the transition process.

Hornets' Gordon to rehab knee in Los Angeles
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Hornets have arranged for guard Eric Gordon to work out in Los Angeles with specialists as he rehabilitates his sore right knee.
The Hornets, who announced the move on Wednesday evening, say last week's projection that Gordon would miss the first four to six weeks of the regular season remains the same.
Gordon, who averaged a team-high 20.6 points last season but played in only nine games because of an injury that required arthroscopic surgery last February, also has missed the 2012 preseason.
Team officials say the move will provide the 23-year-old Gordon with "a more personalized and intensive rehab regimen ... and allow him to work with specialists and provide a more focused attention on rehabbing his injured right knee."

Persian Turquoise –
The history of Turquoise is quite remarkable and an interesting fact of global history. Turquoise was first discovered in Egypt about 6000 B.C., it was coveted by spiritual leaders, healers and the leaders of the first great organized government of mankind. Nomadic Traders took Turquoise to distant lands to introduce and trade it to other societies where it became popular and increased demand.
Turquoise was discovered in Persia about 4000 years ago and the Persian culture also considered Turquoise as having spiritual powers. Again, nomadic traders took Persian Turquoise to the market place and it became in demand by many people in many other different regions of the world.
We have created a presentation page on Persian Turquoise we think you will enjoy, check it out!

Q. How did you injure your ear?
A: I have no idea. I have absolutely no idea.
Q. Come on, tell the truth.
A: No, I have no idea. I didn't go out there with it like that, I don't think. And then, I don't know, I saw like blood on my towel. I was looking around like this. No idea.
Q. Possible shaving accident?
A: No. My ears aren't actually that hairy.
- A-Rod on his mystery ear injury last night
Q. The occasion didn't call for it, but can you still do the splits that you were so famous for?
A: I can. (laughter.) Yeah. I'm not going to do them right now, but...
- Kimmie on her trademark on-court acrobatics
Q. The Samurais, were they up there at the other tournament or who's...
A: Kind of. They're mainly at LA Open, Indian Wells and some will be here this week. Most are back at school now, but a couple of my friends and kind of cousins of some friends live in New Haven, so they came out last week and took their shirts off and put some body paint on.
Q. Do you think you'll get some of them to come down here?
A: Yeah, actually some of my friends are flying out and staying for the week. So they'll be out.
- Sam on the (welcomed?) return of The Samurais
Q. Finally, what did it feel like when six of you in that van sort of went down and sort of descended on the park and sort of took it over as your own?
A: It was great. I love going to trunk tournaments. We used to travel in the bus, Volkswagen buses, really old. Sometimes we'd barely get there. We would get there, and I remember I used to always go watch play Venus play and I desperately wanted to be on the court. When I finally got my chance, I knew that's where I belonged. I still belong there, so I'm glad to still be there.
- ReRe on the early years
Q. You were having some problems with your serve. Commentators started talking about serving in women's tennis. One of them said the person who serves best will win the tournament. Do you agree with that?
A: I don't know. I don't care what commentators say. So it's just all, you know, like they aren't on the court winning championships. I don't really... Yeah.
- V on the talking heads of tennis
Q. You have to give Mirka more attention these days now?
A: Well, I did before. (laughter.) That's part of the deal, you know. I like spending time with her, and that doesn't change. We had a great relationship beforehand. Now it's the same, you know. There's just two babies involved, as well. We're trying to do our best. It's a lot of fun. When I go back to the hotel. Yeah, I mean, I'll see how it goes the next few months and years.
- Rog on life after the mangoes
Q. You showed a lot of support for Gasquet when he was suspended. He says he appreciates that very much from you. Can you talk about the reason, what went through your mind? You showed so much support for him.
A: The true is I support him a lot. First thing, because I believe in him. Second thing, because I think he's a very nice guy. I know him since 13 years old or 12 years old. I talk with him what happen. He told me he didn't take nothing. So I believe him 100%, and I think you know, it is open. I don't want to speak a lot about that and a lot of history is out about when I speak about that, but it's not 100% perfect sometime. If someone wants to kill you, somebody can kill you, you know? And you didn't do nothing. That's the true, no? That's my feeling what happened with Richard, and of course they say that, no? He won. In the beginning, it was three years, and then it was three years because he didn't take nothing. So I'm very happy for that, and I am sure a lot of players are very happy for Richard.

text: Alaska has always interested me and so have moose. I have twin nine year old sons and would like to plan a moose hunt possibly a river float style hunt for when they graduate high school. I know this is planning a little in advance but I figure better to soon than not soon enough. My question is, does this sound doable, preferably unguided? I guess I was thinking I could rent rafts and have someone drop us up river from our vehicle. would bow hunting or rifle be better, and why? I would prefer bow. I am open to any other suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Branstad Orders Flags At Half-staff For 9-11
(Undated) -- We all remember what we were doing and where we were eleven years ago when we heard the news about the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon being struck by airline jets flown by terrorists, along with that jet airline that perhaps was destined for our nation's capital city when it crashed in a Pennsylvania field. Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad is ordering flags at state government buildings and other sites to be flown at half-staff to honor those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Branstad called for the flags to be lowered from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at public buildings, grounds and other facilities throughout the state. Individuals, schools and businesses also are encouraged to fly flags at half-staff during this period as a show of respect.
The Sept. 11 attacks killed nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.
School Board Elects Officers...Approve Purchase of Two Buses...and Set Annual Goals

The board accepted the bid submitted by Thomas Bus Sales for the purchase of two new school buses to be delivered sometime in December. The winning bid was for $153,670 with a $2,000 trade-in making the final bid offer at $151,670. The school district received three bids. Just $42 separated the lowest bid from the second lowest, and $288 was the difference between the highest bid and the middle bid. In other action, the school board heard reports from each of the district's principals.

Rose Confirmed As Judge
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The U.S. Senate has confirmed U.S. Attorney Stephanie Rose as a federal judge in Iowa.
Sens. Tom Harkin and Chuck Grassley say the Senate voted 89-1 on Monday to confirm Rose in Iowa's Southern District, which includes Council Bluffs, Des Moines and Davenport.
Rose was one of three candidates recommended by Harkin to replace Judge Robert Pratt, who has taken senior status. President Barack Obama nominated her in February.
Rose has served as the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Iowa since 2009. She spent over 12 years in the office as an assistant U.S. attorney.
Rose received a bachelor's degree in 1994 and a law degree in 1996, both from the University of Iowa.
Ames' Big Brothers/Big Sisters To Close
AMES, Iowa (AP) - A lack of federal funding has led to the closure of a child mentoring office in Ames that opened just over three years ago.
The Big Brothers Big Sisters office in Ames is closing, and services for Story County will be handled
through the Big Brothers Big Sisters office in Des Moines.
Matt Ashburn, chairman of the program's board in Story County, says he's frustrated and saddened by the office's closure.
Kit Curran, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa, says the Ames office opened in 2009 with money from a federal grant. But he says funding for the grant was not renewed, and not
enough financial support came from the Story County community to keep it afloat.

I'm a long time Zimbra user who switched to Google Apps for Your Domain about a month ago. The reason? Well, embarrassingly enough, I was tired of not trusting my backups.
Problems with Google's service, however, are leading me back to Zimbra. In particular, the fact that domain aliasing really doesn't mask who you are because Google sets the Sender: field in the header...it's just plain frustrating.
So, here I stand, the prodigal son. Hoping Zimbra will take me back .
My situation is:
I have my old Zimbra 4.5 install with my old mailbox there. It's still running. I also have my new Google Apps account with all those messages, plus around a month's worth of new messages.
What I'd like to do is get at that month's worth of messages. I'm not sure if I can use imapsync to only move messages from a particular date range, but now that I type that I bet I can.
What I'm more concerned about is folders. I have a roughly 5 gb mailbox with many folders for different mailing lists I belong to. Google Apps (the premier edition) has a migration tool that I used, and instead of creating folders, it created labels.
When I go back to Zimbra, will the messages be placed in the proper folders? Anyone know? Has anyone done this sort of migration before?
Finally, I see that 5.0 GA is due to be available Dec 12. Is it actually ready now (i.e., safe to use), and is GA the actual release?
Thanks guys!

We shouldn't put national security in the hands of contractors
(Page 3 of 3)
The city accumulated $18 million in debt between 2008 and 2012. I applaud residents for their resistance to the program and their concern about the economic future of their city. At a time when Long Beach has so much debt and the economic situation remains precarious, this would be a huge step in the wrong direction.

For once I can agree with you Al we use way to many consultant contractors as it is to do IT work for the government and corporations.
An example that got very little play on the news is that much of the code target was using for the IT security was written in Russia. By farming this out we have lost control over who had our data, I'm sure these companies are not doing background checks on these off-shore consultants. By cutting costs and using outside consultants instead of hiring Americans they have but our personal security at risk, and who knows what other security is at risk. Since the Chinese, North Koreans, Iranians and all of our other enemies are constantly trying to hack into our infrastructure and see if they can wreck havick on us.
As to the pensions in Long Beach they council was totally wrong they should be going in the opposite direction and making it harder and longer to collect a pension. Pensions should be for people making under 75k a year once you make above that you get an IRA like everyone else. This should include all public employees COPS and Teachers on Long Island are going to kill us with pension costs in the very near future

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. -- Douglasville Police are looking for a suspect they say robbed Bank of the Ozarks on Tuesday afternoon.
The suspect entered the bank around 2:45 p.m. wearing a dark blue jacket, red pants, work boots and light blue gloves. A full mask covered his face and disguised him as an elderly white man.
Police said the suspect threatened the people in the bank that he was carrying a handgun, but he never showed it while he was inside the business.
Victims and a witness from the robbery described the suspect as a black male, standing 5'08" - 5'10" tall, having a medium build and between 25 - 45 years old.
The suspect fled the bank, located on Chapel Hill Road, and went to the fence behind the shopping center. A witness said the suspect scaled the fence, and hurried away through bushes. During an investigation, detectives found a path that led from behind a fence line of the bank toward the interstate that had been cleared before the robbery was committed.
There was a report of a suspicious vehicle in the area, on Starboard Court, off Timber Ridge Drive, adjacent to where the path had been made. The vehicle was said to have been parked there around the time when the robbery occurred.
A resident told detectives that a single black male had driven up to an empty house, which was for rent, around 3:30 p.m. The vehicle was a white Kia Soul. The resident said the man sat in the car, looking at the house.
The resident also said the man left just before he started to hear sirens that were believed to be responding to the robbery. The tag number on the car was not recorded.
The vehicle may be in connection with the robbery, and used as the getaway vehicle. Detectives are studying evidence and working to identify the suspect.
Anyone with information regarding the bank robbery or the suspect is asked to call Detective Clinton Ratliff at (678) 486-1245.

City of Carrollton Launches Use of Nextdoor, the Private Social Network for Neighborhoods
Carrollton, TX – The City of Carrollton is pleased to announce that it will be using Nextdoor (nextdoor.com), the private social network for neighborhoods, to foster neighbor-to-neighbor and citywide communication. Nextdoor enables Carrollton residents to communicate online in private, secure websites to build stronger communities, get to know neighbors, ask questions, and exchange local advice and recommendations. For example, neighbors use Nextdoor to share information about neighborhood watch and safety issues, local events, locate a babysitter, school activities, upcoming garage sales, lost pets, recommend local businesses, and much more.
Technology has been blamed for distancing people and for the decline of interpersonal contact, but several Carrollton neighborhoods have seen how technology can help bring people together in a big way. Amy Ruggles, a Neighborhood Crime Watch Block Leader for the Woodgate Neighborhood in Carrollton, formed a Nextdoor website for her neighborhood in March 2013. Since then, she has seen a sharp decrease in crime and an increase in involvement, stating, "We currently have over 60% of the households in our neighborhood using our Woodgate Neighborhood Nextdoor website. We have never had this high of a response rate before in our organization."
Tanya Ferencak, Sr. Community Development Specialist for the City of Carrollton, said, "We believe healthier and more engaged communities creates a stronger City. We love seeing the collaboration and problem solving going on with the neighborhoods using Nextdoor. We are always looking for new and innovative ways for neighborhoods to come together to build healthier communities. At a time when most people drive up, press the button on their garage door opener, then drive in the garage and shut the door, Nextdoor offers a fresh opportunity for neighborly communication."
The City of Carrollton will be able to post important information about upcoming Neighborhood programs, grants and crime and safety updates to Nextdoor sites within the City. The City will not be able to access the resident's websites, contact information, or content. "We really love the autonomy that Nextdoor gives to individual neighborhoods," said Ferencak. Neighborhoods establish and self-manage their own Nextdoor website. Information shared on Nextdoor is only visible to verified members.
"Nextdoor has been a wonderful venue to promote our Neighborhood Enhancement Matching Grant project," said Pat Cochran, President of the Savoy of Josey Ranch Neighborhood. "We have been able to bring in more volunteers and generate support for our beautification project with the help of our Nextdoor Neighborhood website." Like other social networking sites, once you create a home page on Nextdoor you can view profiles of others in the network and begin posting and communicating with them. Cochran added, "I also was able to find three much needed cat carriers to take my cats to an emergency vet visit. All I had to do was post my request on Nextdoor and in under an hour I had one of my neighbors drop off his extra carriers. It was amazing how fast it all happened."
The City of Carrollton has been mapped into 84 different neighborhoods. Visit nextdoor.com and enter your address. If Nextdoor is available in your area, you can immediately sign up. If a Nextdoor website has not yet been established for your area, active and engaged neighbors are invited to apply to bring Nextdoor to the neighborhood. Get started on building a stronger community today. For more information about how the City of Carrollton is using Nextdoor, please visit cityofcarrollton.com/comdevelopment or call 972-466-4299.

DUI Often Leads to Increase in Car Insurance Premiums
The potential costs of a DUI arrest can be very high, as drunk drivers often face large fines, possible jail time, or a suspended license. The costs of a DUI, however, often extend beyond these immediate losses.
For example, many people who are convicted for a DUI find that their insurance premiums rise dramatically. Insurance companies, quite naturally, are more reluctant to insure drivers with a history of drunk driving.
According to a recent report from Fox Business, insurance premiums for drivers with a DUI on their driving record could rise anywhere from 30 to 100 percent.
In Colorado, for example, rates may jump by 30 percent, while North Carolina residents could face a staggering spike of 340 percent on their next car insurance bill. Some insurance companies may drop customers altogether, depending on the severity of the drunk driving incident.
While insurance rates may spike after a DUI, this rise is not necessarily permanent. The length of time rates will rise depends on your insurance company's own policies, but it is common for your record to be wiped clean (in the insurance agency's eyes) after about three years.
However, many states keep DUI convictions on a driver's record for much longer periods of time, which could result in a driver facing higher premiums for up to a decade.
In California, for example, drivers are prevented from receiving a safe-driver discount for at least 10 years after a conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol.
In addition to increased insurance rates, drivers also have to complete an SR-22 form, which is a certificate of responsibility that many states require drivers to complete after they have been convicted of a DUI.
This certificate of responsibility must be carried by the driver for a certain period of time (usually three to five years) after the driving incident that created the need for the special license. Again, this certificate is just another hurdle for drivers after a DUI.
Of course, the statistics showing insurance rate spikes after a DUI serve as evidence that people who are arrested for a DUI should take the charges very seriously. And just because a person is arrested for a DUI does not mean that he or she will be convicted.
A number of things can go wrong during a DUI arrest that may hurt the prosecutor's case, and a DUI attorney may help you understand more about your legal rights after drunk driving arrest.
And, if you are able to defeat your DUI charges, your insurance company may never learn about the incident, and insurance premiums may stay put.
While this may not always be the case, it is certainly worth your time to research your legal options after a DUI arrest, because these incidents do not always have to be fatal to your reputation or your finances.

Valvoline NextGen Fusion - Kentucky Preview
Posted by: lori on Jun 25, 2012
Tagged in: Untagged
Germain Racing Puts Casey Mears and No. 13 Valvoline™ NextGen™
Ford Fusion Before Hometown Crowd in Kentucky
- Valvoline global headquarters are a short drive away in Lexington, KY
- Germain Racing has one win at Kentucky Speedway in the Truck Series
- Casey Mears has two previous starts at Kentucky one in NSCS, one in NNS
- Mears has 324 NSCS starts heading into KY with 46 top-ten finishes, 12 top-fives, one win and 3 poles
- Bootie Barker is crew chief for the Valvoline NextGen Fusion; he's been with Germain Racing since 2009
- Germain Racing runs Valvoline NextGen Premium Blue in their team transporter
Mooresville, N.C. (June 25, 2012) - For the second time this season, Casey Mears will wheel the No. 13 Valvoline™ NextGen™ Ford Fusion in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series for Germain Racing. This time, Mears will put the NextGen colors before Valvoline's hometown crowd at Kentucky Speedway— a short drive from Valvoline's global headquarters in Lexington, KY.
"Kentucky is a good racetrack and it's fun to go to a venue that the Cup Series hasn't gone to a lot," explained driver Mears, noting the delicate balance between handling and aero one needs to succeed at the 1.5-mile oval. "(The track) has a big uphill on the front stretch and an elevation change outside of turn four. It's bumpy and a challenging track because you have to have your car handling right but also get the splitter as low as you possibly can to have some grip."
Considering the top-20 finish the team secured in their debut of the Valvoline NextGen paint scheme two weeks ago at Michigan, this Germain Racing group has high hopes for the No. 13 Ford Fusion in Saturday night's 400-mile event.
"We certainly want another top-20 result for the Valvoline NextGen Ford. Kentucky Speedway is the home track for the folks at Ashland, Inc. and we'd love to give them another strong finish like we had for them at Michigan," said crew chief Bootie Barker. "Our team is very different heading into this race than where we were a year ago. Our equipment is improved, our team is more organized and focused and we are able to utilize our relationship with Ford and Roush to continue to grow the vision that Bob Germain had for Germain Racing for this season. We are really looking forward to putting our Valvoline NextGen Fusion on track before the Kentucky fans."
To date Casey Mears has collected ten top-25 finishes in sixteen races in 2012. The effort has locked the No. 13 team solidly into the top-35 in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Owners Points which means the team can focus on race trim during the practice sessions rather than working solely on qualifying trim as in years past.
After 16 events, Mears ranks 28th in Sprint Cup Series points, a position he has held since the seventh race of the season.

I have the zimbra store directory containing the email messages as a backup. What is the best way to reinject the messages back into zimbra using zmlmtpinject? Is there documentation other than the command line help?

I have the zimbra store directory containing the email messages as a backup. What is the best way to reinject the messages back into zimbra using zmlmtpinject? Is there documentation other than the command line help?
See Dan's post below.
So there is no way to re-inject the messages from the zimbra store directory back into zimbra?
Originally Posted by KevinH

Your message store should be structured like this:In other words, all messages in an on-disk directory belong to the same user. So, once you've determined whose mailbox the messages correspond to, just use zmlmtpinject to inject them into the new Zimbra M2 server. You'll lose tags, contacts, folder structure, received dates, and read/unread status, but it should work.Code:
If you want to be extra-tricky, before you run zmlmtpinject you can write a perl script to add an extra "X-Zimbra-Received" header to each message, with the value being the same as the "Date:" header's value. Then zmlmtpinject will use that date as the "received date" when re-injecting the messages.
Thank you. I followed your direction and wrote a little perl script to insert the X-Zimbra-Received header and zmlmtpinject worked.
Can you share with us the hashing algorithm that zimbra uses so that it would make locating a user's mail directory much easier?

I have successfully used zmlmtpinject to import mail into Zimbra. The X-Zimbra-Received header was exactly what I needed. One more question on this topic:
Messages sent by the user aren't being imported quite right. They go to the Inbox, which is not a problem, but when I move them to the Sent Items folder, it shows the sender in the "To" field, not the recipient. Are there any other "X-Zimbra-" headers that may be useful in importing mail?
Below is the procedure I used to successfully import mail using zmlmtpinject. I wrote a bash script called zimdates to add the "X-Zimbra-Received" header. I will include the script at the end of this post. I put the script in my home directory (/home/user1) and ran the following commands as root:
cd /home/user1
./zimdates /path/to/user1/maildir/
cd /path/to/user1/maildir/
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmlmtpinject -d ./ -r firstname.lastname@example.com \
-s firstname.lastname@example.com
# zimdates
# Chris Gitzlaff 2005-11-16
# This script inserts an X-Zimbra-Received header into each message
# immediately after the Date header.
show_usage() {
echo "Usage: zimdates DIRECTORY"
echo "Inserts the X-Zimbra-Received header into a directory of messages"
echo "Example: zimdates ./mail/"
# check for correct usage: 1 argument (directory)
if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
if [ ! -d $MSGDIR ]; then
exit 1
exit 1
# if the temporary file exists, delete it
if [ -f $TMPFILE ]; then
rm -f $TMPFILE
cd $MSGDIR
for file in *
grep "^Date\:\ " $file > $TMPFILE
# use the first Date occurrence
datestring=`sed -n '1p' $TMPFILE`
# remove the 'Date: ' prefix
datestring=${datestring#*\ }
sed -n '1,/^Date\:\ /p' $file > $TMPFILE
echo "X-Zimbra-Received: $datestring" >> $TMPFILE
sed '1,/^Date\:\ /d' $file >> $TMPFILE
mv $TMPFILE $file
Unfortunately, at present there are no headers that will do what you want. We mark a message as "sent by me" -- the criterion used to decide whether to display the sender or the recipients in the Sent folder -- only at send time, and only if it's automatically saved to sent.
This post REALLY saved my bacon. Thanks for the script.
I usually back up my mysql when I do zimbra backups and I took the liberty of wrapping your script with this other snippet to auto parse all folders simultanously. Usually this works if I keep a full backup and only do incremental message store backups to sort out new messages. I full backup every week (turn off zimbra and tar the whole /opt/zimbra) and then rsync the message store periodically.
asuming you are able to dump the mysql table with something like
and save that to list.txt (or something). I wrapped it up with this.Code:
mysql $> use zimbra;
mysql $> select id,description from mailbox;
for x in `awk '{print "/opt/zimbra/store/0/"$1"/msg"}' /opt/list.txt`; do
for i in `ls $x`; do
echo Zimdates::: sh /opt/zimdates.sh $x"/"$i;
sh /opt/zimdates.sh $x"/"$i;
for k in `awk '{print $1":::"$2}' /opt/list.txt`; do
echo "TEST::: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmlmtpinject `echo $k | awk '{ split($0, a, ":::"); print "-d /opt/zimbra/store/0/"a[1]"/msg -r "a[2]" -s "a[2]; exit}'`";
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmlmtpinject `echo $k | awk '{ split($0, a, ":::"); print "-d /opt/zimbra/store/0/"a[1]"/msg/* -r "a[2]" -s "a[2]; exit}'`;
just a thought.
