'God's man'
Obituary Charles Colson, who went from Watergate felon to evangelical leader, has died at age 80 | Emily Belz
WASHINGTON—Former Watergate felon turned evangelical leader and Prison Fellowship founder Charles W. "Chuck" Colson, 80, died Saturday afternoon in Fairfax, Va. Colson had suffered an intracerebral hemorrhage in his brain March 30 and was hospitalized ever since.
"Though we mourn the loss of a great leader, we rejoice knowing God has welcomed his humble and faithful servant home," said Prison Fellowship CEO Jim Liske in a statement. "Please continue to pray for the entire Colson family. While we all deeply feel this loss, we take heart knowing God has welcomed Chuck into paradise with a 'well done, good and faithful servant!'"
Colson started his career as a hard-nosed political operative in the Nixon White House, where Richard Nixon once told him to "break all the [expletive] china" to get the job as counsel to the president done. That led to a conviction in the Watergate proceedings for obstruction of justice—and a seven-month sentence served out at a federal prison in Alabama.
In the midst of the historic scandal, which led to Nixon's resignation in 1974, Colson's self assurance and religious apathy broke after a Christian businessman friend, Tom Phillips, prayed for him. Phillips read to him from C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity, a passage Colson later said led to his conversion. At the time, many doubted the sincerity of Nixon's "hatchet man." Wrote one columnist, "If he isn't embarrassed by this sudden excess of piety, then surely the Lord must be."
Upon his release from jail, Colson decided to start a prison ministry. Prison Fellowship's logo since shortly after the group's founding in 1976 has featured a bent reed, referencing Isaiah 42:3: "A bruised reed he will not break, a smoldering wick he will not snuff out." That reflected Colson's belief that no one—not the most hardened criminal nor the most egotistical Washingtonian—was beyond hope.
"A lot of people falsely accuse Chuck of being overly political—but Chuck's whole emphasis has been to say that the root problem is a spiritual problem," said Timothy George, a close friend of Colson's and the dean of Beeson Divinity School at Samford University. George, who for many years co-wrote a column with Colson for Christianity Today and serves on the Prison Fellowship board, added, "He was an evangelist at his deepest heart … but he realized that preaching the gospel is not just dropping tracts from a blimp."
Today Prison Fellowship is at work in most U.S. prisons and in more than 115 countries around the world. The ministry helped to launch Justice Fellowship, an advocacy arm for criminal reform, as well as Colson's career as an evangelical leader, an author of more than 20 books, and the lead commentator for Breakpoint, a radio program with an estimated 8 million weekly listeners.
A Southern Baptist, Colson remained politically and theologically conservative his whole life, but Prison Fellowship gained a reputation for working with both Republicans and Democrats for criminal justice reforms focused on transitioning prisoners into society. Colson also gained a reputation for working across theological aisles, helping to launch the 1994 Evangelicals and Catholics Together initiative and becoming co-author of the 2010 Manhattan Declaration, a statement on conscience and marriage endorsed by a broad spectrum of Christian leaders and now with over half a million signatures.
Colson showed that smart people could be Christians, said Eric Metaxas, the author of bestselling biographies of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and William Wilberforce who read Colson's books after becoming a Christian following his years as at student at Yale University.
"A brilliant legal mind, worked for senators and the president of the United States—he was a huge encouragement to me as a Christian, that the life of the mind went hand in hand with his faith," Metaxas said. "He was for me the example."
Metaxas worked for Breakpoint earlier in his career, before he went on to write for the children's cartoon series VeggieTales and became a bestselling author.
Over the years Metaxas and Colson developed a warm relationship, and Metaxas introduced Colson for what would be his final speech March 30 at the Wilberforce Weekend Conference hosted by the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview in northern Virginia.
Colson fell ill during his speech and paramedics examined him before airlifting him to Inova Fairfax Hospital, where he underwent surgery to remove a pool of clotted blood from the surface of his brain the following day. Colson remained in critical condition in the weeks following surgery, but colleagues were optimistic about his recovery, as he showed signs of apparent consciousness and improvement.
The sudden incapacitation meant that Colson missed—for the first time in 34 years—spending Easter Sunday in a prison among inmates. Instead, inmates at Sing Sing and Riker's Island prisons in New York, where he was scheduled to preach, sent get well cards to him.
With Colson in critical condition, Metaxas had been sitting in for Colson as host of Breakpoint and said he would continue Colson's call to the church to stand firm against the current threats to religious freedom.
"He's not trying to impress anybody," Metaxas said. "He has completely avoided being merely political. And he has completely avoided the taint of the televangelist stuff. He's been his own man. He's been God's man."
Before he fell ill and had to end his speech, Colson urged the church to renew a dying culture, one of his recent themes. He eviscerated the contraceptive mandate as one expression of hostility to the church, but called for a spiritual response to that hostility. (See "Colson's final speech" to read excerpts.)
"Elections can't solve the problem we've got," Colson said. "The problem we've got is that our culture has been decaying from inside for 30 or 40 years. And politics is nothing but an expression of culture. …
"So it comes right back to us," he continued. "Look in the mirror, that's where the problem is. If we can, through the church, renew the church to really bring a healthy cultural influence, then there's some hope we can be changed. … This is a moment when the time is right for a movement of God's people under the power of the Holy Spirit to begin to impact the culture we live in. Desperately needed."
Colson is survived by his wife, Patty, three children, and five grandchildren.

Cyclones Fall To Baylor In Big 12 Championships
KANSAS CITY, M.O.- The Iowa State soccer team (9-9-2, 3-4-1 Big 12) fell to the Baylor Bears (11-5-3, 3-4-1) 1-0 in the Big 12 soccer tournament. The game marked the ninth time that the Cyclones have played in the Big 12 tournament.
Turning point of the game
In the 58th minute Baylor's Ashley York received a pass in a crowd of players and hooked a shot into the Cyclone goal. The Cyclones were able to get good looks and move the ball, but were unable to find any success against the Baylor goal.
Discuss it now. Visit our Facebook page to have your say on the turning point of today's game.
Cyclone game ball goes to…
Maddie Jobe. The senior goalkeeper made incredible save after incredible save. Early in the second half a Baylor player fired a shot that looked to be sailing towards the top of the Cyclone goal. Jobe was able to leap up and get a hand on the ball sending it safely back towards midfield. Jobe was faced with a one-on-one situation later in the second half that required excellent hand-eye coordination. The Baylor player fired a shot right at Jobe from 10 yards away, but Jobe displayed good hands to make the stop. Jobe's play helped keep Iowa State in the match.
Cyclone Nation, who was your player of the game? Tweet the player along with the hashtag #CyclONEgameball to @cycloneSCR and we'll announce the fan's pick later before Sunday's game.
Cyclone notes
* The cyclones played in their first Big 12 tournament since 2007. This marks the ninth time that Iowa State has advanced to the Big 12 tournament.
* Maddie Jobe increased her career save total to 319, which totals the second most in school history.
* The Cyclones recorded 12 shots with two being on goal. Baylor fired 16 shots with six being on goal in comparison.

So I have some silk I want to use for scarves but don't really want do all the work of dying them that I remember from batiking in college. Would this method work? And can they be washed with regular laundry after a first laundering alone?
What do you think?
- August 17, 2011 at 4:27 PM
- pink and green mama MaryLea said...
@ Abby --
That's funny, my mom (also an artist) and I were talking about the same thing. She thinks she has some silk scarves in her stash and we wondered why we could try the gel glue with the silk dyes then launder the silk per the silk manufacturer's instructions. I would hesitate about throwing silk scarves in a regular washer dryer. I think you'd have to hand wash them and hang to dry then maybe do a low heat mini toss in the dryer to de-crunch them. If you try it let me know, I'm still trying to find a blank white scarf to experiment with!!

Great stuff.
i dont really like mustard. im not sure ive ever even had honey mustard.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Honey mustard...Mmmmmmmm....
I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is here [points to head] and here [points to heart] and what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man - or not.
I love that shit!

Used to use my sporterized 03 Springfield 30-06, but after I built a custom wildcat 25-06 in the mid 60's, it became my backup. In 1976 I bought a Ruger M77 in 25-06 and never looked back. Shot over 50 deer and as many antelope with it. It is topped with a Leupold VXIII 4x14 40 mm. It has provided lots of meat for my family for years...shot a few coyotes too.

Winchester Model 70 in 25-06 w/ 3x9 VXII Leupold. Shot my fist deer (Blacktail) with it 30 years ago an still use it today. I've only shot 2 Mule deer with it, but over 20 Blacktail, last kill with it was my 2011 bighorn sheep, no doubt it is my favorite rifle. Currently shooting 110 gr nosler accubond. I have a Winchester X-150 .50 cal muzzle loader that I've used on a couple muzzy hunts too.
I bought a Winchester model 70 in .25 wssm when they first came( about 04 ?) out with them it has a heavy stainless steel bull barrel, a Harris bi pod, shoots 110gn AcuBonds with 45 gn's. of IMR 4350 It has been one shot one kill on Antelope,Muley and Whitetail ever since from 20 to 300 yards. By far the best shooting tack driver I have ever owned. It has a Leupold 4x12x40 VX11 on top.
Browning SS w/BOSS in 243 WSSM to 400 and Browning SS w/BOSS Rem 7mm to 600. The 243has a Z5 on top while the 7mm has a VX7 on it. My Rem 700 22-250 with windchester 50gr Silvertip works well on Ar whitetail deer. I still have some Lost River Technolgies reloads in both 140gr and 160gr to use, currently I am using 168 Bergers HPBT hunting VLDs in the Browing 7mm. Those bullets are loaded by HSM in Montana.
The LRBT bullets Velocity is 3063fps, good stuff. Working on loading 52 Amax for the 22-250. The go to black bear gun is a Rem 700 7mm and this year I am trying the RWS ID Classic in 177gr, that gun has a VXII 3x9 on it. I bought that gun in 1974 and it is almost retired with honors. After all these years, I finally installed a Timmy Trigger this year. The gun shoots the RWS 1/4 moa. before trigger was installed.
only hunts bear now. Longest mule deer shot with the 700 was 467yds in Ne. That was the beginning year of LRS for me.

Truth be told, though, I'm a little rusty when it comes to filling my larger-than-needed suitcase appropriately for this weekend's jam-packed warm-weather social calendar. That's where this inspiration board comes in handy:

Thin is in
The top of the flange has a cutout area showing how the carbon fiber grid is embedded.
A cross section of a carboncast pretopped double-tee.
The deck of the Channel Club condominium garage in Monmouth Beach, N.J., had corroded horribly and had been condemned. For the repair, the owner opted to use carbon fiber reinforcement in the flange to prevent corrosion, which had been especially prevalent so close to the ocean.
Experts report that about 80 million Americans go on a fitness plan each year. These people know that reducing weight while strengthening their muscles will improve the way their bodies function.
The same can be said for pre-cast concrete, specifically the double-tees used in parking structures. If producers can cast tees thinner, and thereby lighter, without losing any strength, architects can immediately see significant benefits. These elements would use less concrete. They would weigh less, which could reduce the substructure needs. And erectors could use smaller cranes for installation. All of these factors would reduce costs without diminishing a parking structure's performance.
But the ability to create thin double-tee flanges has been elusive. The main design constraint has historically been the thickness of cover required to protect the steel mesh reinforcement in the flange from water penetration and corrosion.
But the future is now. Recent studies have reported that the innovative use of carbon fiber grid as a replacement for steel mesh reinforcement can enable engineers to reduce the required cover in the flange without sacrificing a double-tee's performance.
Simply put, double-tees are being put on a much-needed diet, with very appetizing results.
Structural benefits
Reducing a double-tee's weight contributes to a variety of benefits throughout the structure. "Thinning the flange is where it's at," says Harry Gleich, vice president of engineering at Metromont, a major pre-caster in the Southeast. "When you take out ¾ inch of concrete in the flange, you're reducing the tee's weight by 10 pounds per square foot, which reduces loads on the beams, columns, and foundations."
That's critical because the structure's overall dead load is used to calculate seismic forces. "In general, the heavier the dead load, the greater the seismic force," says Ken Baur, director of research and development, High Concrete Group LLP, a wide-width producer of precast parking garages.
Within the last decade, the International Building Code widened its seismic requirements to include most parts of the country. To comply, engineers must design their structures for an earthquake during a 100-year horizon, says Baur. Lighter tees allow engineers to meet the new seismic codes while reducing the superstructure.
Producers also share in the benefits. Lighter double-tees also could require less reinforcement in the stem to support the lighter load, which can sometimes save strands. Lighter tees require less fuel for transportation to the jobsite. And smaller cranes can be used to lift the element into place.
In conventional double-tees, flanges are generally at least 4 inches thick. American Concrete Institute requirements force engineers to incorporate at least 2 inches of concrete cover into the flange to protect the steel mesh from water and corrosive elements.

Comments on Federal Parity Regulations
The Interim Final Regulations (IFR) implementing the 2008 Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act were published in February. The comment period on the regulations expires at 11:59 pm eastern on Monday, May 3rd. It is critical for NAMI state and local affiliates to add their voice to ensuring strong rules implementing federal parity.
The three federal agencies that drafted the regulations – Labor-HHS and Treasury – are required to carefully weigh and measure all comments submitted by interested parties and general public. In fact, the agencies will actually count the umber of comments weighing in on specific issues and recommending specific changes. The comments on the regulations have taken on added importance as a result of a lawsuit filed by health plans against the federal agencies seeking to block enforcement of the regulations and a campaign to undermine specific protections in the rules.
NAMI has joined a coalition of colleague national mental health substance abuse groups known as the "Parity Implementation Coalition" and will be submitting similar comments jointly with this coalition and separately. You can view these comments at:
NAMI National regrets the short turnaround time for these comments. As you can see, these comments are very detailed, running 26 pages in length, and involve interpretation of complex statutory and regulatory issues. NAMI was assisted in developing these comments by the Washington law firm Patton Boggs and it took a number of weeks of research and drafting to develop them.
NAMI State and Local Organizations Are Strongly Encouraged to Submit Comments
It is critical for NAMI organizations to join in and submit their own comments. It takes only a few seconds to submit comments on-line through the website included below. You can send a very brief comment endorsing separate comments submitted by the Parity Implementation Coalition and NAMI National. Doing so would serve as an endorsement of all of the comments and recommendations contained therein and be counted by the agencies as a full set of comments. The body of the comment you submit need only to state:
"On behalf of NAMI ________, I am writing to submit comments on the Interim Final Rules under the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 and in doing so NAMI _________ endorses the separate comments submitted by the Parity Implementation Coalition and the National Alliance on Mental Illness"
You can then also include the full NAMI comments as a separate file attachment if you wish, although this is not required..
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 888-999-6264, ext. 7940 or email@example.com
Thanks for your efforts to help achieve strong regulations enforcing the new federal parity law.

I'm not sure if non-community leaders can change the titles of their posts. There's a job for you Torq! Welcome to community leadership!
Hi all
Its important that we get a common naming convention for maps at this stage so we can keep proper track of this beast. The map hierarchy is as follows: [Region], [Map], [Location],[Site]. Each of these is afforded a number.
The Region that is the subject of the first landgrab is imaginatively known as [1]. The various areas that were chosen by individual mappers are also numbered. I am doing Map 13 so my map is properly described as Region 1, Map 13 - Choam.
When you go to the next level down [Location] you will use a number that is the highest one not yet taken. Therefore if I want to map a town in Ravs' area [12] and none other has yet been mapped on his map, I would describe my map as Region 1, Map 12, Location 1 - Baldur's Gate (for example).
You must start a new thread whenever you start a new map, whatever the level. This way those putting together the wiki will be able to reference the maps properly and we wont get duplication of map. If everyone sticks to this system we should manage fine.
Now we are getting a lot of maps of cities and locations it's good housekeeping to make sure you name your thread properly. The reason for the importance is that if the convention is used, by clicking the 'Thread' sort button at the top of the posts (see image below), all threads will be sorted in alphabetical and numerical order, so you can easily see listed in numerical order each region and the cities and locations mapped within it.
The convention is:
[Region x][Map yy][City zz]
[Region x][Map yy][Location zz]
[Region x][Map yy][Town zz]
Remember that where you are using single digit figures, leading zeros are important (except for the Region unless we go over 10 which will be in a long, long time).
So for example:
[Region 1][Map 02][City 04]
I'll swing by occasionally and rename any threads that need renaming but it will help enormously if posters could use the convention.

ATLANTA -- Meet HopeMob: a national juggernaut of a charity that, in its latest endeavor, wants to make a truly merry Christmas for one Atlanta family.
HopeMob is the creation of Morehouse grad and former Atlanta pastor Shaun King. He finds individual causes, vets them, and posts them on the HopeMob web site, where folks from all around the world can join forces to solve them.
Here's King on the mindset of HopeMob: "Strangers who may never work together, from different backgrounds, races and ethnicities, can come together and do something good for the community. We tell these stories, and then strangers from all around the world choose which stories they want to support."
King has generated one big mob: more than 100,000 likes on Facebook and nearly 500,000 followers on Twitter.
HopeMob's latest quest is to fund Christmas for ten families in need in ten different cities. King is trying to find a family in Atlanta, as well as people to form his Atlanta "mob" -- and that's where we need you.

Punk and AJ on vacation
Before dedicating himself completely to MMA training, CM Punk decided to take a little trip with his wife, AJ Lee, down to Puerto Rico to visit her family. The couple was spotted by a fan, and the two of them actually took the time to take some pictures, which was then posted to a social media website. The belief is that Punk will start traveling up to Milwaukee soon to train with Roufusports. His UFC debut is still expected to take place in 2015.

In Alice, the Trojans played one of their best games of the season. The boys did a great job on both sides of the ball, according to their coaches.
Defensively, the young Trojans were all over their opponents, making it difficult for the Coyotes to move the ball. With the exception of one scoring drive, the Trojans hardly allowed a first down. Defensive standouts were Josh Duteil, Dalton Cox and Noah Gomez.
On offense, the Trojans were tough to stop, and every player did a superior job at their position, according to the MMS coaching staff. Running backs Jaiden Chapa and Joe Henry Tapia scored their first touchdowns of the season, with Chapa then punching in both two-point conversions. Jesse Castro and David Vasquez also did a great job running the football, picking up large chunks of yards per carry. Lineman Patrick Prieto, Logan Alvarado and Caleb Zander did their part in moving the offense. Swingmen Jacob Raine and Jacob Olivares also made key blocks up field to open up the field for the hosts, coaches said.
A couple of missed fourth down conversions in the red zone cost the Trojans even more points, but lights out defense kept the team safe. The Trojans captured a 16-6 victory over the Coyotes.
On Tuesday, the Trojans took on the Calallen Wildcats. Unfortunately, not much went in the Trojans' favor. On defense, the boys gave up 28 points, and the offense was kept out of the end zone.
"The boys faced a great team in the Wildcats and just weren't quite able to keep pace. The offense was able to move the ball on a few series and looked fluid at times," said coach Tim San Miguel.
QB Wyatt Blackwell played a good game and played with poise despite getting knocked around on a few plays. On one series, Blackwell connected twice with receiver Jacob De Leon, who made highlight worthy catches, even wrestling the ball out of a defender's hands and coming down hard with the ball.
Despite the efforts, the offense wasn't able to get on the board. Juan Sanchez and Nathan Medina put some hard hits on the Wildcats, but the efforts weren't quite enough to stop the powerful Wildcat offense.
"When a game goes like this, there is usually not much positive to take from it; however, I am exceptionally proud of how my boys played in the face of adversity. From the opening kickoff until the final buzzer, the boys played hard and never once gave up on themselves; that is all I can ask for," San Miguel said.
The seventh-grade Trojans traveled to Tuloso-Midway on Tuesday for their season finale.

It's no secret that a stellar hairstyle can draw the eye and hold someone's attention like few other features (and, of course, the opposite of a stellar haircut can certainly do the same). You've got plenty of demands to ask of your hair: You want it looking sharp and professional for a day on the job or a big interview, but you need the ability to sculpt it into something wilder, more playful, and more expressive for a night of entertainment. The Billy Jealousy Hair Styling products deliver this versatility, resulting in a fine-crafted look you'd otherwise expect to shell out big bucks for at the salon.
The Billy Jealousy Hair Styling philosophy reflects that of the brand as a whole: provide a no-fuss, highly effective treatment that gets the job done and doesn't bog down your schedule. The Billy Jealousy Hair Styling products are hydrating, refreshing, and pleasantly scented, and they even fortify your hair as they fix it into the desired shape.
Use Billy Jealousy Hair Styling treatment to rein in your mop and put it into service: expressing whatever part of your complex personality you want conveyed in the given moment.
An ineffective hair styling product can fail on so many fronts: It might not be malleable enough from the start, preventing you from sculpting the look you're seeking; or it might not have the strength and endurance to maintain that look throughout the day. Such unsatisfying gels will leave you in constant doubt as to whether you look suave and exciting—or mussed-up, ungroomed, and sloppy. You can rest assured, though: The Billy Jealousy Men Hair Styling products are not those kind of gels.
The Billy Jealousy Cool Medium Hair Gel certainly holds your hair into whatever style you're aiming for, but it's also accomplishing associated goals all the while. It strengthens and seals the hair shaft while blocking against the formation of Dihydrotestosterone, an agent often fingered in promoting hair loss. Tastefully scented with a grapefruit aroma, the Billy Jealousy Cool Medium Hair Gel is ideal for any look you might be after.
Rich in humectant, the Billy Jealousy Lunatic Fringe Hair Pomade can tame even the wildest, most unruly head of hair. A medium-strong hold product, this pomade naturally volumizes and conditions your mane while it sculpts it into your desired sweep and curl.
The Billy Jealousy Clutch Play Hair Gunk has a colorful name, but it doesn't play around in action. This high-hold and high-shine gel doesn't just style your hair whichever way you desire, but aids in thickening, volumizing, conserving moisture, and—armed with Vitamin E—smoothing the hair cuticles. Your hair will look that much more lustrous and fortified courtesy of the "gunk's" beeswax ingredients.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - A coal ship pollution case has gone to a federal jury in Norfolk.
The case involves the Maltese-flagged Antonis G. Pappadakis. During an April inspection, a crewmember passed a note to Coast Guard personnel claiming the vessel's oily water separator had been bypassed and that oily bilge water had been discharged.
The ship's owner, Malta-based Angelex Ltd., operator Kassian Navigation Agency Ltd. and chief engineer Lambros Katsipis are charged with conspiracy, falsification of records, obstruction of justice and other counts.
The Virginian-Pilot (http://bit.ly/16odE3S) reports that jury deliberations began Thursday and are scheduled to resume Friday.
The ship and 16 crew members have been detained at the Portsmouth Marine Terminal since April.

Re: Take the FICO Fitness Challenge!
I want to hit 680 for both EQ and TU.
My Cap1 Card and Target card will hit 1 year in March. My BoA card will hit 6 years in May.
My $9,500 car loan (not that it helps much scorewise) that I stared last April should be close to paid off, at least less than 10% util by 2011.
I'll have my last student loan rehabbed in March or April, so I'll gain some age when that gets picked up, and I'll say goodbye to the CO account.
My AAoA should be at 6 years by the end of this year.
Getting through April will get rid of ALL my inquiries for all three bureaus.
See my journal below for the full story.

We're just trying to find our way home!
1-So min is 620 each.... if we can do better we'll be really happy especially if we can pull it off before the tax credit deadline...
2- I'm currently at 583 and my husband is at 601.
2007-2009 were really rough on us. My husband was laid off twice- both times Unemployment got screwed up royally and never paid out, and we had to move from rental to rental 4 times in 2 years due to the owners not paying the mortgages when we paid rent.
What hurt us the most is what we were doing to fix our credit through 08 and 09 got screwed by the latest lay-off and eviction due to foreclosure. We'd opened accounts and were paying on them, but it came to a roof over our head, power and food over paying bills. So accounts went to collection agencies.
3- Everything has been paid off now and we had no open accounts except my student loans. Now we just have to rebuild, which means opening accounts and paying them off. I got my Macys card reinstated w/ a $255 limit and have been using it and paying it off on a monthly basis, and we opened a joint account to Badcock in November with a $3000 limit and purchased a $1000 TV, which we will have PIF by March. We're just hemming and hawing about opening a secured credit card w/ a $1,000 limit. We're unsure if this will help our score or not. The options are $1000 each, $2000 joint or $2000 for one or each of us.
The bonus from the last few years is we really learned how to trim fat from our budget.
If anyone has any advice- we sure could use it!
I would go with a secured card with only one of you on it. I also want to wish you luck, been where you are at and it's a rough road. Blessings to you.

My 2010 goal is to increase my credit score to above 600 (don't know how realistic that is but I'm going to try).
My current FICO score on Equifax is only 500. I'm not sure what the FICO is on Exp or TU b/c I have not yet purchased them.
My strategy to achieve this goal is to have negative items removed:
- clear faulty judgments
- negotiate PFDs on collection & charge off accounts
- pay bills on time (auto loan & student loans - hopefully get a lender after completing loan rehab for student loans)
- get a secured card towards end of year to rebuild credit
You can do this!I have moved up well over 150 points in the last 2 years just by paying on time and keeping my balances low. Do not give up! you will get to your goals!

1. My goal is to be over 600, preferably closer to 650, by the end of the year. A little lofty, considering...
2. I have a current FICO of 550. Ouch.
3. To meet this goal, I started by signing up for quarterly score tracking so I can see just how I'm doing and (hopefully) stay motivated. Using the info I gained from my first report, I am going to pay off the collections on my report this year (one will be paid off by May as part of a payment plan, the other one I need to get in contact with the agency to work out a deal or payment plan and hopefully pay it off completely this year). I also just started a debt management plan at the end of 09, and I have already seen my balances start going down (as opposed to before entering the DMP, when I would pay every penny I had and see my balances rise thanks to high interest rates) - so, I plan to continue making my payments and making sure they make it to my creditors every month. Meanwhile, just for my own financial health I am going to continue working toward building an emergency fund, no matter how long it may take me! (Right now we're putting in $15 a paycheck, though we're hoping to be able to increase that once our finances settle down a bit over the next couple months.)
you can do this! It takes a bit of time but Time heals all wounds.
Re: Take the FICO Fitness Challenge!
my goal is to pay off the cc's I racked up when I injured my arm. I also had to buy christmas on my cards instead of cash. OUCH! My arm is now better and being a waitress, I'm golden. I can now make my money by being the best can be.
My goal is to be at 700..........my EQ is at 644 so I'm close! Just think, last year I was at 560. Go ME!

Some of my negatives were removed due to time lapse (old baddies that were on my report for at least 6 to 7 years).
Others I disputed through the CRA's online dispute process (late payments, incorrect reporting etc.) I also wrote GW letters (only one of my creditors refused to budge and remove the collection from my report and that was IC Systems). I also did a PFD on an old ATT bill from 2006 that resulted in a removal. So I used all tools available to me through knowledge I obtained through myFICO.

Medical Helicopter Crashes Killing All On board
MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) - Authorities have identified two of three people who were killed when a medical helicopter crashed into a northern Iowa field.
Witnesses told deputies that the helicopter burst into flames when it went down around 9 p.m. Wednesday just north of Ventura in Cerro Gordo County. The aircraft was affiliated with Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa and had been headed to Emmetsburg to pick up a patient.
The hospital identified two of the victims: nurse Shelly Lair-Langenbau and paramedic Russell Piehl.

Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs Awards Grants
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa officials have awarded more than $90,000 in grant money to a dozen Iowa cities supporting historic preservation programs.
The state Department of Cultural Affairs says the grants are from the Certified Local Government program. It's a partnership between local, state and national governments.
The grant money for the cities is between about $2,000 and about $11,000.
Participation in the program that grants the money offers resources like expert advice from the National Park Service and participation in a preservation network.
Hearing Scheduled For Today On Voting Rules
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A public hearing is scheduled for Thursday on a proposed new rule that establishes a process for removing voters from registration rolls if they can't prove
Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz is pushing the rule saying it's needed because he believes people who are not U.S. citizens are registering to vote in Iowa.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa plans to speak against the rule. The group, joined by other civil rights organizations, says the rule intimidates minority voters especially Latino immigrants. The ACLU also says Schultz doesn't have the legal authority to pass the rule himself, instead it should be
considered by the Legislature.
The public hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the Lucas State Office Building.
Iowa Supreme Court To Review Job Protection For Health Employees
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Supreme Court will review whether to give greater job protections to health care employees who report potential misconduct internally.
The court announced Wednesday it will review an Iowa Court of Appeals ruling, which found an assisted-living center employee was wrongly terminated after she alleged that 2 colleagues falsified
training documents.
The decision concluded that companies that operate such facilities cannot fire employees who internally report potential violations of regulations meant to protect patients. Otherwise, the
court says employees would be hesitant to raise concerns.
The case involves Karen Dorshkind, who was fired in 2008 as marketing director at Oak Park Place in Dubuque. A jury awarded her $357,000 in damages. The court found the ruling for Dorshkind was
appropriate, but $178,500 in punitive damages shouldn't have been allowed.

Hey wynn, welcome and good job so far.
Your map looks quite original (from what ive seen on the site), and is has features i really enjoy.
First thing, it has a pretty clear layout, that helps distinguish things; guess its a great help for RP-ing this map. Totally love the sea - the shades, the texture, the color scheme - looks more like lagoon waters, but i love it. And VERY interesting, i love the way you rendered the mountains. If u did it in photoshop, using brushes etc, then gratz! ive been thinking of trying to do some manual shaded relief but ive thought it would be much too tedious, having to figure out the orientation of all the peaks/faces/valley for whole ranges. I really like the looks of it
Points im not that high about: The colour of the land. The brown-clay colours u've chosen doesn't strike me as realisitc. Barren soil may look like thast, but not grassy land, not even rock cropping out. It also impacts on the mountains, as they look modeled in clay, instead of rock (imo). The central kingdom area seems very appropriate for a swampy zone, at least for me. Also, the roadlines are a bit too strong, overshadowing other important features, like the rivers e.g. But this are just relative point. I like the overall look of it, and i think its original too. Go for it.

She's all business this year.
Maria Sharapova dropped her shorty-shorts and other fashion foibles from last year's disastrous Wimbledon and has gone decidedly demure in her attempt at a second title at The All England Club.
The 2004 champ went down in more ways than one - two double breaks in the first set and two awkward slips on the slick stuff - to Viktoriya Kutuzova but managed to eek out a 7-5, 6-4 win. She'll next face Gisela Dulko for a spot in the third round.
So there's not much to say about the white Nike tank dress Shrieka's working her besides the subtle gold trimming that zig-zags around the dress - pretty. However the "warm up jacket", like Fed's, looks military inspired though she looks more like a drum majorette - not pretty.
I have to say I'm really liking her Nike satchel actually. It has an interesting graphic and adds some punch to an otherwise "meh" outfit.
I can't believe I'm saying it but I want those shorty-shorts back...and not for me, silly.

FASHION FIX: Shrieka defeats Viktoriya, goes ultra minimal in Nike
9 comments:
What shorty-shorts?Those she wore last year at Wimbley?You must be kidding!That was plain awful. I was actually glad she lost cause I couldn't watch her matches from that hideousness.That was the worst outfit ever, cause it wasn't even a SPORTS OUTFIT, it was for a Broadway show or editorial, not to play tennis in it.God.ReplyDelete
Let sportswear remain sportswear.That's why I LOVE this dress and the jacket is cute.It's all simple and clean, just like the sportswear should be.
Fed's is on the other had hideous.
Shocking to say because I rarely like what she comes out in, but I loved this jacket!!ReplyDelete
I like the dress, the details are cute and feminine, and it finallyReplyDelete
it looks like a tennis dress.
not sure about the jacket, too military looking.
I liked the shorts from last year but hated the tuxedo top. Don't care for this dress -- kinda boring. HATE the jacket. LOVE LOVE LOVE the bag! Too bad Roger's married. Maria and him could have coordinated. Bags and jackets and gold trimming and all. What on earth are the Nike designers thinking?!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 22, 2009 at 9:30 PM
Maria and Roger coordinating is the last thing i wanna see on planet earth! Eew. Maria looks great on her own..ReplyDelete
- RachelJune 23, 2009 at 3:08 AM
i think the jacket looks like shes one of the beatles on the sgt peppers album cover!! but i do quite like the jacket!! are coats the new essential item for all tennis players?? or just nike ones!! whats with fed waistcoat - now thats ridiculous!!ReplyDelete
I'm with B2012 here - I don't normally like what she wears (loathe mostly in fact) but this jacket was yowza!ReplyDelete

I really like the dress. Not a really big fan of the jacket.ReplyDelete
I really like the dress - clean and simple is the best possible way to go!ReplyDelete
The jacket... meh. But at least it's better than Rog's Nike disaster.

Although the cosmetics and skin care industries aim their advertisements for anti-aging products almost exclusively to women, many men are just as concerned about visible signs of aging. Men are just as susceptible as women to skin damage from the environmental factors that lead to premature signs of aging, particularly in the delicate area around the eyes. Men are just as likely to develop crow's feet, dark circles, puffiness and bags under the eyes, but few products are geared toward these problems. The Jack Black Men Eye Products collection seeks to change that.
The Jack Black Men Eye Products line was produced by one of the leading companies devoted exclusively to men's hair and skin care products. The products in the Jack Black Men Eye Products line lift and firm the skin around the eyes, while reducing swelling and evening skin tones, with effectiveness that rivals the best anti-aging treatments on the market for women; however, each item in the Jack Black Men Eye Products line was made exclusively for men's unique body chemistries and without any pigments or feminine scents.
Reduce the troublesome signs of aging and save your skin from new fines lines and wrinkles in the eye area with the Jack Black Men Eye Products line. This range of effective anti-aging products was developed with men like you in mind to make crow's feet and other signs of aging less noticeable without covering your skin with makeup or strong fragrances.
Jack Black Protein Booster Eye Rescue uses a formula that is proven to reduce fine lines and signs of aging by as much as 45 percent with just two months of regular use. The secret to the product's effectiveness is its blend of peptides sourced from natural bamboo and peas. These proteins strengthen the skin, allowing it to fill out and lessen the depth of wrinkles. The actions are enhanced with oat kernel sugars, which provide additional strength to the skin, and caffeine, which combats fluid retention for a decrease in under eye swelling and discoloration.
Jack Black Eye Balm Age Minimizing Gel is like a nourishing multivitamin for the skin around your eyes. The formula contains a cocktail of beta-carotene and vitamins A, C and E, which are proven to reduce signs of aging and protect the skin from free radicals, harmful factors in the environment. Chamomile, camellia and cornflower extracts partner with the vitamins to reduce inflammation and allow under eye bags to drain. Panthenol provides a finishing touch, softening and moisturizing the under eye area and forming a protective barrier to the elements.

Schwalbe Nobby Nic TL Ready Snakeskin Tire - 29in $0.00
Schwalbe's Nobby Nic TL Ready Snakeskin 29-inch Tire is already a widespread favorite for a reason. With it, you get a fast rolling tire that provides a surprising amount of grip in nearly any trail conditions that you'll come across. So, you'll be prepared for anything that the trail throws at you, wet or dry.
The Nobby Nic's tread pattern will be immediately recognizable to many of you, and with good reason. It's become a widely popular tire due to its versatility. The center line of the tire alternates between broad, paddle-shaped knobs, which provide excellent braking traction, and square knobs, which hook up on everything from wet roots to hard-pack. And both sets of knobs are nice and short, so they roll fast in addition to getting tons of grip. Additionally, the side knobs are wide and supportive. So, when you get the Nobby Nics leaned over, it'll bite hard in order to keep you on your line.
However, tread patterns only tell one part of the story. That's why Schwalbe uses its PaceStar rubber compound. Essentially, PaceStar places harder rubber down the center line, making for faster rolling and improved wear life. Meanwhile, the side knobs receive a softer rubber compound, improving cornering traction by increasing flexibility. In essence, you get the speed of a harder compound tire, mated to the cornering grip of a softer tire. This means that you get the benefits of both rubber compounds, without suffering from the drawbacks of either.
This recognizable tread pattern rests on Schwalbe's Snakeskin Tubeless Ready casing. As you may have guessed, the tubeless designation means that these are optimized for a tubeless setup. But, you are able to run them with tubes if that's your preference. By Tubeless Ready, Schwalbe means that the bead hook on this tire is enlarged. Why does this matter? Well, it makes seating the tire to a tubeless rim a whole lot easier. Which, if you've ever ended up covered in tire-sealant after trying to seat a stubborn tire, will be a welcome improvement. The second part of that designation, the Snakeskin casing, simply refers to the Nobby Nic as having a sidewall that's extra supportive. So, you'll find that added bit of support helps to protect against pinch flats.
The Schwalbe Nobby Nic Tubeless Ready Snakeskin 29-inch Tire is available in the color Black and in a 2.25- and 2.35-inch size.

- Softer side lugs

Good tire but not as strong as others
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I enjoyed the ride quality and traction of this tire for the few hundred miles I ran it. I'm now taking it off the bike with tread still at 70% because of two tears in the tread of the tire that make it impossible to run tubeless and I've now flatted twice on last nights ride running with a tube due to punctures. The Maxxis EXO casing is far stronger for me. I usually wear a tire out before I need to replace it. Back to Maxxis for me.
4.78654 Star Tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Can't give it five 'cause of the price. They are exorbitantly priced, but that fact is mitigated by the reality that this tire is actually pretty damn durable. I bought my first set in 2011 and only in the last couple months did I have to replace them. I ride probably 750 miles / year, so that's a solid 1500 miles on them. I never lost a knob, but there was noticeable wear, no question. But I never cut a sidewall or cut them anywhere else. I did slam into a berm on a bunny hop and puncture the rear one, but I plugged it and it performed beautifully.
As for hooking up, I can't imagine it getting much better. My primary trail is in a park filled with oaks which means roots, roots and more roots. It is also relatively wet down here, so the roots are oftentimes quite slick. The Nic handles them with ease, as well as allowing you to really throw yourself into turns. There is all sorts of terrain; groomed 1track, rock gardens, technical rocky slow areas, fire road bomb, a flow trail, pine groves, etc. Bottom line, there are plenty of areas to cut these bad boys...but I never have.
When I first researched them, the big thing was rolling resistance; may be, I can't really tell if there is any more resistance in this tire than any other tire with relatively beefy knobs. I run them tubeless at 23 - 27 PSI, depending on conditions, I weigh 200 lbs and ride a Trek Superfly 100AL Elite(1x10), Stan's Arch rims and Chris King ISO hubs.
Again, can't give it 5 because they are just so pricey, but if you don't mind dropping $80 /tire, this is where you should be looking.
Premium, Predictable Rubber
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used this tire exclusively for years. In fact, I even bought extras like they were going out of style. A new bike pushed me towards some other tires, which I had a love-hate relationship with. After some time off the Nobby Nics, I got some miles on an unfamiliar demo bike that had them mounted up. The bike felt foreign, but the handling did not and I remembered exactly why I absolutely love(d) these tires for years.
The Nobby Nic offers nearly everything you could want in a tire; Extremely lightweight, Tubeless ready, Supersonic speed, Superb grip, Predictability, Justifiable durability.
Aside from weight which I will touch on later, the most dramatic differences I noticed with this tire was how predictable and secure the grip was while they just seemed to keep rolling down the trail effortlessly. Rear break away was predictable and kept confidence elevated when pushing the limits on your favorite trail.
Tread wear seems to be a hot topic between internet forums with these tires, but I had great treadwear and easily got over 750 miles with both the front/rear on my sets. Side knobs tended to degrade from below the top of the knob, but still griped well and I did not notice any decrease in performance. Compared to my experience with Conti X-King Protection tires, these tires outlasted several of those tires. Schwalbe's Snakeskin sidewall protection is the only way to go in my opinion for extra insurance without much of a weight penalty. Only issues that came up were a puncture here or two in the tread, but based on the performance and light weight I think it was reasonable.
Schwalbe Nobby Nic TL SS
Like most Schwalbe tires , the Nics have a lot of great features. Good traction, compliant with lots of terrain, fast rolling and work well tubeless. My biggest problem is that they wear quickly and cut easy. Much like the Racing Ralph's. And for $80 a tire this can get real expensive quickly. I guess if $ is not a problem and your willing to sacrifice durability and longevity your ok. They really do ride nicely though....
Excellent ride quality, low weight.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I just got this tire to replace a blown out front on my XC race bike. I've been using Contis and Specialized for years and was please. This is my first Schwalbe tire and so far I've got about 180 miles on it.
The two biggest reasons that I like this tire are 1) it's weight & 2) the ride quality. It weighs about 2 oz less than my Specialized Captains and some of the other 2.2+ width tires, but still has awesome side lugs that hook up really well.
The other reason I like these is the ride quality: this is totally subjective, but they feel smooth and consistent, like I'm more connected with the trail.
Setup: tubless on DT Swiss rims.
Does anyone run these in 2.35? On a...
Does anyone run these in 2.35? On a 29er?
I run ~2.35 on my all mountain bike (26er) but haven't used these.
Thinking about tubeless but the 29er but not sure if that much width is prudent or even useful on a 29er.
Thoughts? Thanks.
I run a 2.35 on my 29in bike that is tubeless and it works good for me but its totally up to you.
I ran a 2.35 on my niner and the rear kept rubbing on the frame whenever I stand up to climb. I would check your frame if you have enough space to accommodate the bigger tire before buying it. Although the bigger volume tire felt better on my hard tail than the lower volume 2.25. Grip is excellent but I noticed a slight disadvantage trying to turn quick on the 2.35.
I run the 2.35 on the front most of the year. I usually run a less knobby tire on back (Racing Ralf mostly). But in the fall, when the leaves and pine needles start to cover the trail and things get a bit more slippy, I mount the Nobby Nick 2.25 on the back. Terrific tires.

Phyto formulas are now created from over 500 active ingredients and contain more than 95% natural botanicals.
Over the past decade or so, environmentally friendly products have grown in popularity.

However, the formulas are constantly changing as scientific research reveals more effective ways of caring for one's hair. Despite upgrading ingredients, Phyto products are still primarily based on botanical products that are great for your hair.
Just like your skin, your hair encounters numerous environmental attacks throughout the course of each day. Weather conditions, heat styling, air pollution, leisure activities, styling products, and various other lifestyle factors can all contribute to the health and appearance of your hair. Further, your hair's health can be impacted by genetics, making it difficult to address any issues that may arise over time. Phyto products use natural ingredients to restore your hair's luster, fullness, and shine. If you suffer from frizzy hair or split ends, Phyto can help tame your mane into the smooth and manageable look that you desire. You can even use Phyto products on color-treated hair by selecting one of the specially designed products to suit your needs. Many individuals with thinning hair experience embarrassment on a regular basis, but adding Phyto thickening products to your hair care routine can help promote healthy volume.

Removal of MKO from terrorist list will have consequences
Newscast Media WASHINGTON, D.C.—Last week there was indication from the State Department that the terrorist group Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) could be removed from the list of terrorist organizations, but no justification was given to explain such a move. MKO took refuge in Iraq and under the support of Saddam Hussein, fought the Iraq-Iran war in the 1980s.
"I am not in a position to confirm the contents of this, because it's classified, but we anticipate being able to make a public announcement about it sometime before October 1," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told the press. Others suspect that the reason the US may want to remove MKO from the list is to destabilize the region by using the group to fight proxy wars the way al-Qaeda is being used in the Middle East.
"The move indicates the United States' blatant support for extremist and terrorist groups like the MKO and Al Qaeda-affiliated organizations, which is aimed at stirring tension among Muslims," Khalid Abdul Wahab al-Mala who is also the head of the Council of Iraqi Scholars in Southern Iraq told Fars News Agency.
"The US wants to dominate the region, steal its assets and spark war and religious and sectarian conflicts in the region," Mala added.
Here is the current list of terrorist groups by the State Department.
It is believed that Hillary Clinton plans to run for president in 2016, therefore it will be interesting to see what her decision will be between now and October 1, given the recent deaths of American diplomats in Libya at the hands of Islamist terrorists. The consequences of her decision will certainly have an impact on the way she is judged in the next four years, should she decide to run for president.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- As meat week continues in the DC area, Rocklands Barbeque and Grilling Company founder and president, John Snedden stopped by WUSA9 to provide expert tips on cooking up a memorable Super Bowl meal.
Everyone wants to eat chicken wings while watching the Super Bowl, but not everyone feels comfortable cooking them. This easy recipe creates a crisp fried-like wing without the deep-frying. These have been a Snedden family favorite for years.
See the Recipe for Rockland's Hot Wings below:
Serves 6*
6 pounds chicken wings, tips cut off and drums/flats separated
3 to 4 tablespoons Rocklands Malt Salt or kosher salt
1 16-ounce jar of your favorite barbeque sauce (optional)
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Take a heavy baking sheet large enough to hold the wings in a single layer; coat
with butter or oil, or cover with parchment paper. Spread wings on the pan.
Sprinkle with Malt Salt (use a liberal dose).
Bake wings for 25 minutes, until lightly browned and crispy. (If tossing wings in
barbeque sauce, have sauce warming on the stove as wings cook.) Remove wings
from cookie sheet, place in large bowl and pour hot sauce over the wings, tossing to
mix. Serve immediately.
*This recipe is totally scalable. Generally speaking, allow about 1 pound of wings
per person. That is, unless you invite your favorite DC-area pro-football team over -
then you need 2 pounds of wings per person.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Elizabeth Adams
Arlington, VA – Senator Mike DeWine (R-Ohio), in partnership with a bipartisan group of Senate colleagues, and Congressman Ted Strickland (D-Ohio) addressed the national tragedy of criminalizing individuals with mental illness today by introducing the "Mentally Ill Offender Treatment and Crime Reduction Act of 2003." NAMI strongly endorses this important bill to reduce unnecessary incarceration of juveniles and adults with mental illnesses and applauds these visionary leaders.
"The misuse of our police as front-line mental health crisis responders and our jails as de-facto psychiatric treatment facilities is a national outrage," stated NAMI Executive Director Richard C. Birkel, Ph.D. "This legislation is an important step forward in ending this national tragedy and in shifting valuable resources where they can do the most good – the provision of treatment and supportive services."
The timely introduction of this bill precedes the final report and recommendations of President Bush's "New Freedom" Commission on Mental Health. The Commission's report is expected to emphasize that America's mental health system is in shambles and to recommend a series of steps that can be taken to improve treatment and services for people suffering from serious mental illnesses.
Reflecting the current administration's work to assess and improve the mental health system, this Act establishes a grant program at the U.S. Department of Justice that can be used by states and communities to:
Director of NAMI's Office of Consumer Affairs Tom Lane praised the bill at a press conference announcing its introduction this morning, explaining that the services available through this legislation could have put him on a path to recovery much sooner. "Five years ago, I was in crisis, suicidal, and in desperate need of access to mental health services," Lane explained. "I got a law enforcement response, not a mental health response. What I needed was help from the mental health system, not entanglement with the criminal justice system. There simply were no alternatives available at that time. This bill will create alternatives."
For more information about the "Mentally Ill Offender and Crime Reduction Act of 2003", contact Ron Honberg, NAMI's National Director for Policy and Legal Affairs at 703-516-7972.

Written by Wake Forest Sports Information Dept.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest forward Devin Thomas has accepted an invitation from the USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team Committee to attend the 2013 USA Basketball Men's U19 World Championship Team training camp, as announced by USA Basketball on Wednesday.
The training camp, which will be held June 14-19 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., will be used to select the 12-member team that will represent the USA at the 2011 FIBA U19 World Championship. Finalists are expected to be announced on June 16 with the official 12-man roster announced two days later.
Thomas, a rising sophomore in 2013-14, was one of the most productive freshmen in the ACC this past season. He averaged just short of a double-double in conference play at 10.5 points and 8.7 rebounds per game to go with 1.5 blocks and a shooting percentage of 51.8 percent.
Overall, Thomas averaged 9.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game while shooting 49.8 percent on the year to earn ACC All-Freshman honors.
The Harrisburg, Pa. native led all ACC freshmen in rebounding and blocked shots, ranking sixth overall in the conference in each category.
Thomas posted three double-doubles in conference play, including a performance against NC State that saw him finish with 25 points, 14 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and three steals. His game against NC State, which led Wake Forest to an 86-84 upset of the then No. 18-ranked Wolfpack, earned him ACC Rookie of the Week honors on Jan. 28.
The stat stuffer Thomas led the Deacons in rebounding and blocked shots (43) and ranked third in scoring and steals (32) and fourth in assists (41). He scored in double figures in 14 games, including five of the final six games of the year.

I attempted to follow the instructions in the admin guide to enable SPNEGO authentication - we use Kerberos a lot on Windows/Linux workstations. However I now get an Internal Server Error ERROR 500 in the browser when logging in.
I then tried to enable the debugging options suggested in the guide. The details are a bit vague in the docs but it seems I should put this in /opt/zimbra/conf/localconfig.xml
and add a line to /opt/zimbra/conf/log4j.properties.in (the docs say without the .in but that file is generated at the service start up and overwritten)Code:<key name="spnego_java_options"> <value>"-DDEBUG=true -Dsun.security.spnego.debug=all"</value> </key>
The localconfig change causes the Zimbra system to fail to start up. The extra logging seems to cause this:
I have double checked the settings using zmprov and they all look correct against the doc examples.Code:2012-09-20 10:48:57.061:WARN:oejs.ServletHandler:/ java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at org.eclipse.jetty.server.Response.sendRedirect(Response.java:450) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponseWrapper.sendRedirect(HttpServletResponseWrapper.java:136) at org.eclipse.jetty.http.gzip.GzipResponseWrapper.sendRedirect(GzipResponseWrapper.java:306) at org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.common.core.RedirectSupport.doEndTag(RedirectSupport.java:148) at org.apache.jsp.public_.login_jsp._jspx_meth_c_redirect_7(login_jsp.java:3212) at org.apache.jsp.public_.login_jsp._jspx_meth_c_if_19(login_jsp.java:3171)
I'd be grateful for some directions on getting this working.
