Comments about Sheet And Blanket Support:
I didn't realize that my feet were being cramped all night like they were in too short shoes. My feet/legs were out of align. When I began to use the blanket lifter, my feet/toes had room! I began to sleep more soundly, my shoulder was less sore--what a difference.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

You can't get the thing to fit right under the sheets, plus it its not enough room length for your feet to hold over.
Very disappointing!
By MJ

This is a very flimsy bed cradle. It collapses to the fold position during the night so is useless for holding up the sheets. Don't waste your money!!

1955 Ford Courier - The Muffler ManWritten by on February 28, 2007 Blown Chryslers Rule!
In the early days of American muscle ruling the street and strip, there were few words that struck more magic in a gearhead's heart than the mention of someone running a blown 392 Chrysler. The first series of Chrysler Hemi-head engines were held in such high esteem that young and old alike would do just about anything to get their hands on one. For '50s and '60s kids, the hot ticket was to buy an AMT 1/25th-scale '32 Ford model just to get a hold of the blown Chrysler engine it included.
For Larry "The Muffler Man" Taylor of Chattaroy, Washington, it wasn't AMT's '32 Ford car model that inspired him to stuff a blown Chrysler into his '55 Ford Courier, but rather a history dating back to '58 when he ran his first blown Chrysler-powered dragster. When it came time for Larry to detune the 392 Hemi to adapt it to his '55 Ford sedan delivery project, he contacted renowned Chrysler Hemi guru Gene Adams for a little advice on how to tame the blown beast. The first thing Gene did was refer Larry to Engle Cams to acquire a hydraulic grind that works real well for 392s. A little bit of a Hemi guru himself, Larry incorporated a few of his own tricks into the iconic Mopar motor. For the oiling and ignition system, Larry adapted a 340 oil pump and a late-model Chrysler electronic ignition. He told us, "You're not going to believe this, but I used cast pistons with 9.5:1 compression to plug .030-over cylinders (the key word is cast)." One thing that did not come as a surprise was that the Muffler Man fabricated his own headers and exhaust pipes for the '55.
Thanks to a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor perched on top of the Hampton blower with a Cragar intake manifold, the '55 gets relatively impressive gas mileage. Larry told us that he averaged over 16 mpg driving the Ford to the Spokane Goodguys show and around town while there. Larry also attributed the good mileage to the 3.70:1 gears the '55 came with in its original Y-block 272 with a Fordomatic transmission (as an aside, it's interesting to note that stick-shift Couriers came equipped standard with a 4.11:1 rearend).
One of the '55 Ford passenger car's weak spots was the front suspension-weak as in it didn't take much of a hit to tear the control-arm pickup points right out of the frame. Larry eliminated this problem while clearing the way for the 392 Hemi by crafting his own version of a Mustang II frontend. For brakes, Larry stuck with the stock Ford units, but he opted for a '68 Cad Eldo tilt and telescopic steering column to guide the '55.
Bringing the Courier's body back to life was a project that took over four years for Larry to complete, mainly due to rust. Washington is a real nice place if you like lush green scenery, but the state's heavy rainfall takes its toll on vintage tin in a big way. After Larry dealt with the rust repairs and minor customizing, such as frenching the license plate into the tailgate to get the '55 closer to paint, the finishing bodywork was handled by Leonard Wanke of Sumner, Washington. With the bodywork out of the way, Leonard then sprayed the '55 in Kenworth orange Dupont Imron polyurethane paint. Once the '55 returned from paint, it was time to put the interior back together, but not before Glenn Thompson had a chance to string in a Centech wiring harness and hook it all up.
For the '55's seating arrangement, Larry stuck with the original driver's bucket seat along with the optional passenger bucket the '55 came with. In place of the Spartan brown vinyl upholstery with painted Masonite paneling and door panels, Pat O' Grady of Spokane reupholstered the interior from the top to bottom in two shades of gray Naughahyde, taking special pains to sculpt intricate flame designs into the panels.
After investing all the time and money that Larry has into his '55 Courier, one might assume he wouldn't consider selling it at any price. Funny enough, this was what Larry thought until he recently discovered another project he'd like to undertake. Next time around, Larry has decided to sell his '55 in order to build a '57 Ford Courier that has been stored indoors for over 30 years. When we asked Larry about the engine he intended to run, he surprised us by saying he was going to try something a little different this time: a blown 427 Ford.

Speaking of which, Thursday I rode solo up to Grafton, south to Blackstone and crossed between the two resevoirs on Diamond Hill in Cumberland RI to go home via Franklin. It was a nice ride even with a little traffic in Woonsocket but I didn't enjoy it as much as I should have. I had a time limit and couldn't meander canals and historical sights, it was warm, I ran out of fig newtons and the Celts got beat up.
Today all the world seems in tune and I wish you a wicked good ride!

Q. I have read countless books on hot rod chassis building, and have come to the realization that these books have a fundamental shortcoming: They don't provide any information on weld geometry when components are being welded into place.
I am considering building a chassis from various sizes of rectangular tubing, and I'm curious how the pros do it. I have my ideas, but I'd like the same peace of mind that you get when the "big shops" put their name on a product. For example, if two pieces of rectangular tubing make a tee joint, should the intersecting end be fully beveled, or beveled with a land, and should a gap be left between the members to get full weld penetration, or simply left flat and fillet welded all around?
Joining or splicing tubing is another concern, such as when kicking the 'rails up over the rear axle. Should I bevel the edges of the tubing before welding? Which gives better strength: using fish plates on the outside of the tubing, or using backing plates inside the tubing with rosette welds to join them?
Where can I find more information on welding joint geometry?
David Cerecerez
Via the Internet
A. You have posed some very good questions! When a joint has a "T" configuration, beveling is not generally required. You'll want the weld to be as strong as the base metal, and if the weld bead is as wide as the base metal's thickness (or the thinner member, if you have two different thicknesses) the joint should be sufficiently strong, assuming you make a good quality weld that has adequate penetration with no undercutting or porosity. I don't recommend leaving a gap on joints like this.
When you are butting material together (either plate or tubing) beveling is recommended for materials 1/8 inch or thicker. It's good practice to leave a little flat (land) on the beveled edge. For 1/8- or 3/16-inch wall tubing, I'd leave a flat about 1/16 inch on the bevel. When welding joints of this configuration, you need to use enough heat to melt through the land. It's generally better to fit the joint tightly, with no gap, as long as you are sure you are getting full penetration. Leaving a gap will make it easier to get the penetration, but you'll get a lot more distortion.
Fishplates are not always required on butted joints, but they will certainly add extra strength if you think you need it. You will get the greatest strength from a plate on the outside of a tube, since it can be welded around the perimeter. Plates held inside the tubing with rosette welds can add some strength, but not nearly as much as what you'd get with an external plate, since welds on the perimeter will be much stronger than welds spaced in from the edges. You can go to any library and find a wealth of books on industrial welding that cover these subjects in as much depth as you want!
Q. I have been practicing my TIG welding on 1/8-inch aluminum after viewing your TIG DVD. Sometimes, after welding, the aluminum is dull and grainy instead of bright and smooth. I'm having particular trouble at the end of the weld. I have tried putting a spot weld on the panel to stop at, but I still overheat the metal and melt the heck out of it.
Bryan Smith
Via the Internet
A. All of your symptoms suggest overheating. As you weld across a workpiece, it takes a lot of heat to start, since normally the metal is at room temperature. As you progress a few inches from the start, the metal around the weld has gained some heat, so less "foot pedal" is needed to maintain the puddle at the optimum size. As you approach the end of the workpiece, there is a smaller "escape path" for all the heat that you've been pouring into the metal, so you need to "let up on the foot pedal" even more as you are approaching the end.
With lots of practice this becomes automatic-but as you are learning, pay special attention to the width of the weld puddle-that's a good indication of how much heat you're putting into the metal.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The ancestry of the name Sherwood dates from the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It comes from when the family lived in Sherwood found in various locations in Nottingham and Derbyshire. The surname is probably best known in reference to the fabled Sherwood Forest which has been immortalized by the legendary Robin Hood, who according to legend was the Earl of Huntingdon, Robert Fitzooth. William of Sherwood (1190-1249) was a medieval English logician and teacher.
The surname Sherwood was first found in Durham, but one of the earliest records of the name was found in the Assize Rolls of Yorkshire of 1219 where Williame de Shirewude was listed. [1] A few years later Lincolnshire when Ralph de Scirewode was listed there in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273. Alan de Shirewod was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Sussex in 1327. The Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 list the following: Margareta de Shyrwode; Alexander de Shyrwode; and Willelmus de Schiwode. [2]
Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Sherwood have been found, including Sherwood, Sherward and others.

Some of the Sherwood family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 136 words (10 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products.
Families began migrating abroad in enormous numbers because of the political and religious discontent in England. Often faced with persecution and starvation in England, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people. Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become for new powerful nations. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Sherwood, or a variant listed above:

If there's one thing Audrey readers seem to be a fan of, that would be all things cute. This can be cute babies, cute cosplayers and above all, cute food.
Coffee art has gained quite some popularity over the years, but theres another edible art that's threatening to take the spotlight: radish art.
Instead of using foam sitting on coffee, people have recently began shaping the grated radish that sits on top of Japanese hot pots and stews. These dishes, also known as nabe, are generally served during the cold weather and are often topped with grated daikon radish.
A typical nabe dish will have the daikon radish grated on to the bowl and simply mixed in with the other ingredients to add a fresh flavor. Talented folk have decided to use the grated radish as a medium to create delightful characters, animals and shapes.
Now, people are taking the time to squeeze the radish until the excess water spills onto the bowl. When the radish becomes just the right texture, it can be molded into all the adorable radish sculptures you see below.

Today The Street (linked above) has interviewed Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer, who states that PS3 hackers have not held them back despite numerous PlayStation Network disruptions over the last year.
He believes that they were the victim of a sophisticated vendetta orchestrated by elements within the hacking community, stating it was a revenge attack, due to them going after a PS3 hacker who exploited the PlayStation 3 console. Below is an excerpt from the interview, to quote:
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Sony (SNE) has bounced back from a wave of hacking attacks on its PlayStation business earlier this year, according to CEO Sir Howard Stringer, who says that digital assaults are an occupational hazard for major firms.
"The press was on us for four days until somebody else got hacked and everyone realized that hacking is a fact of life," he said, during a briefing event organized by The Wall Street Journal. "We took it on the chin over and over again - the problem that we have is that we were alone out there, so nobody had anything else to write about that month."
Sony's security travails certainly grabbed plenty of headlines. In May, the company confirmed that it was the victim of a massive denial-of-service attack, likely timed to coincide with the hacking of its PlayStation Network. Sony subsequently warned its 77 million users that their private account details, such as passwords, addresses and credit cards, may have been compromised after the network was infiltrated by the unknown hacker.
The Japanese tech giant was even forced to pull the PlayStation Network down while it dealt with the hacking attack, although the service was fully restored in early June.
Not that customers have taken their frustration out on Sony, according to Stringer. "They came back - they were not angry with us," said Stringer. "They were upset that they had lost their ability to connect to their favorite service."
The PlayStation network, he added, now has approximately 90 million users.
Stringer also reiterated the company's belief that Sony was the victim of a sophisticated vendetta orchestrated by elements within the hacking community.
"The target opportunity was a revenge attack, initially - it was because we went after a hacker who hacked PlayStation," he said. "PlayStation is vital to us, and so we were afraid that it would essentially destroy a PlayStation."
The CEO explained that Sony has significantly bolstered its security defenses in the aftermath of the hacking attacks. "We have done a lot to stop that," he said. "We have brought in a lot of forensic studies - we have brought in executives, that you have read about in the papers, that are dealing with this constantly."
Egohot, no doubt.

NEW YORK, Ny. (CBS) -- Rachael Bachleda's mom has Alzheimer's disease. The 34 year old mother is afraid she could also get it.
Rachael Bachleda tells us, "I'm going through it from a perspective of a child and I would not want my son to go through that"
A new survey finds Alzheimer's is one of the most feared diseases in the US, second only to cancer.
The MetLife Foundation reports one in three adults worry they'll develop the debilitating brain disease.
"Alzheimer's disease strikes at the core of who we are, our individuality// and in that way it becomes fundamentally a different disease than stroke or heart disease or even cancer," says Dr. Alan Lerner from University Hospitals Case Medical Center.
Many of those surveyed also worry they'll have to care for someone with Alzheimer's, although most did not have a plan if it does strike.
Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia. More than five million people in the US are living with it. And in the coming years about 10 million baby boomers will develop the disease.
Doctors say keeping an eye out for the early warning signs is the key.
Dr. Lerner says, "I get most concerned when people report memory loss occurring on a daily basis. So that there is some consistency to the problem."
Rachel saw those signs a few years before her mom's diagnosis.
"She was really resistant to going to get tested but getting tested early was I think the most important thing we did because not knowing what you have to deal with doesn't help you deal with it," Rachel tells us.
Rachel says figuring out your finances and long term care will give the whole family peace of mind.
Getting the diagnosis as early as possible is also beneficial because there are now medications that can slow the progress of the dementia.
And- more studies to stop and even reverse some Alzheimer's symptoms are happening- including one on a new type of gene therapy at Georgetown University Hospital.

Hi everyone
I notice that Zimbra is still not yet an OpenID provider which is a real shame. It would make an awesome solution to SSO problems.
At the moment we have several web services that use LDAP auth but we are planning to move these to different data centre locations so I'd like to try and avoid having a VPN or SSH tunnels to Zimbra's LDAP port.
The best thing for this would be to have Zimbra as an OpenID provider.
I was thinking of building my own OpenID-LDAP gateway but noticed that someone has already created this... OpenID-LDAP / Home
I know it's not recommended to run anything alongside Zimbra but how would Zimbra alongside Apache/PHP so we could provide an OpenID-LDAP gateway on the same box as Zimbra?
This OpenID gateway will only be used to authenticate against our own web services, not for external use.
Anyone have any suggestions on running Apache/PHP alongside Zimbra?
Does Zimbra still include Apache or does it use Jetty? I think it uses nginx for proxying, is that right?
Also has anyone ever setup an OpenID-LDAP gateway?
Cheers, B

text: Really like the Leupold design and my son has those on his 4.5-14x40mm. They are quite, well built, and just plain work. I use the soft rubber bikini type on a couple of my own scopes as I haven't purchased the Leupold covers yet and they work very well also. I also just spent a whole season using the full length neoprene type of cover on my 25-06 while hunting for Mountain Goat this fall. The cover worked great and provided a little measure of additional protection for the scope.

Theobroma cacao seed oil is one of the most widely used natural skin care ingredients in the products available from top brands, but many people have never heard it's name before. That's because this fatty oil typically goes by a simpler name--cocoa butter. In addition, cocoa butter can be called a variety of other names, including cacao butter, cacao oil, cocoa seed oil and cacao seed butter.
Cocoa butter is derived from the Theobroma cacao tree. An evergreen tree, the species prefers tropical climates and grows naturally in a band that begins in southeastern Mexico and extends southward through Central America and into the Amazon basin in South America. The high demand for the products of the cacao tree, which include chocolate and cocoa powder in addition to cocoa butter, have led to its cultivation throughout the world. More than 17 million acres of forests are grown specifically for harvesting cacao trees with much of the farming occurring in northern Africa, Southeast Asia, Mexico and Latin America.
Although it is a highly useful ingredient in skin care products, theobroma cacao seed oil is actually a by-product of the chocolate-making process. To produce chocolate, seeds from the Theobroma cacao tree are harvested and roasted. After roasting, the seeds are processed and refined, and a yellow, fatty substance is removed from their hulls. This waxy material is what we commonly refer to as cocoa butter. The rich fat is comprised of a number of skin-healthy fatty acids, including stearic acid, oleic acid and palmitic acid.
Cocoa beans and cocoa butter were an integral part of the religious practices and natural healing methods of a variety of indigenous Central American tribes, particularly the Mayas and Aztecs. The delicious taste of cocoa and the benefits of cocoa butter were introduced to Europeans through Spanish explorers and conquistadors, and by the 17th century, the use of cocoa butter to treat skin conditions was prominent throughout much of Europe.
One common use for cocoa butter was handed down as a home remedy through generations of women--applying the ingredient to the breasts, stomach and thighs to prevent the formation of stretch marks during pregnancy. Scientifically known as striae, stretch marks typically form when the skin undergoes rapid growth, causing bruising underneath the skin and disrupting collagen production. Many women recommend using cocoa butter for preventing stretch marks based on their own positive experiences using the ingredient, but scientific research has yet to prove that theobroma cacao seed oil is able to prevent the formation of striae. Still many women continue to use cocoa butter to improve the condition of their skin.
Although its ability to prevent stretch marks is open for debate, skin care experts agree that applying cocoa butter to the skin does have other real benefits. The rich, fatty texture of theobroma seed oil makes it an effective emollient, a substance that fills in the spaces that exist between skin cells to soften and smooth them. Cocoa butter also acts as an occlusive, an ingredient that creates a barrier on the skin and reduces the amount of moisture lost from the tissue into the air due to evaporation.
Because of its emollient and occlusive properties, cocoa butter is a common ingredient in moisturizers and body lotions. It is also sold in pure form for use as a moisturizer and treatment for dry skin.
Chocolate is known to function as an antioxidant, a nutrient that slows down the aging process by limiting the effects of environmental free radicals, which cause cellular damage. Studies have found that cocoa butter also has antioxidative properties, making the ingredient useful in products designed to protect the skin against sun damage. Anti-aging skin care products meant to delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles also frequently contain theobroma seed oil.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved cocoa butter for use in skin care products in concentrations of as much as 100 percent. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has also reviewed the ingredient and asserts that it is safe for use and not likely to cause skin irritation. As a result, cocoa butter is often used in products designed for those with sensitive skin who may be unable to use other types of emollients or occlusives.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WUSA9) -- Three football players at the U.S. Naval Academy could soon face sex assault charges. The academy's superintendent has decided to send the case to Article 32 proceedings, the military equivalent of a preliminary hearing or a grand jury investigation.
Monday's announcement came the same day the victim spoke out in an exclusive CBS interview. She admits to drinking heavily even blacking out the night of an off campus party in April 2012. But she says she awoke to bruises on her body and a buzz on social media. She tells CBS News her fellow midshipmen were talking about the alleged gang rape on facebook and twitter. She says one of the 3 football players, whom she knows, tweeted she was easy and did not put up a fight. She says he even bragged to her face.
She visited a doctor the next day but refused a rape kit, now saying she was in denial. She officially made her report 8 months later after confiding in her mother over Christmas break.
The 20-year-old, 3rd year midshipmen remains on campus and is committed to graduating next year.
"This has been my dream for a long time," she said, "I'm not gonna let this assault define me or change who I am or what I wanted to do. The military's not perfect. The academy's not perfect. These are obviously some serious situations that need to be addressed. But I haven't lost hope."
According to the Pentagon, sexual assaults in the military are on the rise with a reported 26,000 reported cases last year up from 19,600 in 2010.

Hip-hop superproducer Pharrell Williams has become the latest celebrity to land his own fashion collection with sports giant Adidas.
The "Happy" hitmaker and entrepreneur has inked a deal with Adidas bosses to create a line of products in conjunction with designers at eco-thread firm Bionic Yarn, who he first teamed up with last year.
A statement released by Williams reads: "Working with an iconic brand like Adidas is such an incredible opportunity.
"From the classic track suit, to growing up in Virginia wearing Stan Smiths (tennis shoes), Adidas has been a staple in my life. Their pieces are timeless. This is an exciting partnership for both me and for Bionic Yarn."
The Adidas Originals collection is expected to go on sale this summer.
The Oscar nominee is no stranger to clothing and sneaker design – he recently released a range of T-shirts for Japanese retailer Uniqlo and worked on a line of environmentally-friendly denim jeans for G-Star Raw with Bionic Yarn pioneers, who turn plastic debris collected from the ocean into yarn and fabric. He is also involved in fashion brands Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream.
News of Williams' deal follows the recent Adidas signing of his longtime business partner, streetwear designer Nigo, while rapper Kanye West and R&B singer Rita Ora are also working on lines for the German brand.

Animal Shelter Saved
HAVELOCK, Iowa (AP) - An animal shelter in northwest Iowa has found a comfortable new home, thanks to donations from pet lovers and community members.
The Safe Haven Animal Shelter in Havelock successfully relocated after it was given a choice: move,or get rid of all its animals.
Shelter co-director Pam Orr says the facility was told in June to remove animals from the property, because neighbors were complaining about the odor. In August, shelter officials were told
they had to move.
Orr says the shelter found a new location in September.
The new space had no lights or indoor plumbing. But as word spread about the shelter's troubles, donations began to pour in. Some people gave cash, while other supplied paint to improve the
new shelter space.
"Field of Dreams" Land Sold
DYERSVILLE, Iowa (AP) - The purchase of the "Field of Dreams" movie site in eastern Iowa has been completed.
The investors group Go the Distance Baseball LLC says it closed last week on the deal reached with owners Don and Becky Lansing.
The final price was $3.4 million plus interest. It was listed for $5.4 million more than two years ago when it went on the market.
Go the Distance plans to transform the Dyersville landmark into All-Star Ballpark Heaven, a 24-field youth baseball and softball tournament complex.
Construction is expected to begin this spring, with the first tournament games scheduled for 2014.

This was all a bit of an experiment. What I wanted to do was to have a Server out there that would hold all my e-mail, directly sent to the domain and also collected from other POP3/IMAP e-mail accounts. I also wanted to be able to scan all this e-mail for spam and viruses. I also wanted a quick and cheap setup. First I found Zimbra, which I use to hold the e-mail (and much more). Then I found vpslink and got myself a Fedora Core 7 XEN Virtual Machine. Loaded Zimbra pre-requisites and Zimbra then added some outside-of-Zimbra Apache for this front end and then found Joomla to add to the mix. Joomla gave me the glue to hang it all together.

(Sports Network) - Much has been made about what the Baltimore Ravens have
lost since winning Super Bowl XLVII.
Superstar linebacker Ray Lewis and veteran Pro Bowl center Matt Birk retired
after the title game, while wide receiver Anquan Boldin was traded to San
Safety Bernard Pollard was cut and signed with Tennessee, linebacker Dannell
Ellerbe went to Miami as a free agent, linebacker Paul Kruger signed with
Cleveland, cornerback Cary Williams went up I-95 to Philadelphia and veteran
safety Ed Reed took his act to Houston.
General manager Ozzie Newsome has done a decent job of replenishing things
especially of defense, however, bringing in ex-Broncos pass rusher Elvis
Dumervil as well as veterans Marcus Spears and Chris Canty. He also got
younger at safety by brining in former Oakland No. 1 pick Michael Huff.
One thing which hasn't been addressed is inside linebacker and it looks like
Newsome wants to fill that hole in the draft with the 32nd overall pick.
Left tackle also remains a concern since Bryant McKinnie is a free agent
and is not all that dominant anyway.
If Notre Dame middle linebacker Manti Te'o, LSU's Kevin Minter or Kansas
State's Arthur Brown are around at No. 32, expect the Ravens to sprint toward
the podium.
2012 Record: 10-6

Karnes City I.S.D. was awarded $409,258 and Refugio I.S.D. was awarded $226,145 under the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program.
"No one can underestimate the power of learning how to read at an early age," said Hinojosa. "It is an absolute high priority and a necessary skill for everyone. I am very pleased to see that Karnes City and Refugio I.S.D. were awarded these important grants by the U.S. Department of Education as it will assist in providing essential supplies and reading materials to educators to enhance the educational opportunities for their students in their communities."
The purpose of the program is to promote early literacy for young children and to motivate older children to read. The program incorporates the use of school libraries where books will be distributed to children and their families and offer high-quality literacy activities.
In many communities, high-need children and students have limited access to grade-level reading material in their homes. The Innovative Approaches to Literacy program supports the implementation of high-quality plans for childhood literacy activities and book distribution efforts.

The Buzz
Need-to-know news
Iraq: 2003-2008
"How much longer?" read a banner along the president's route to the Pentagon for a speech March 19 marking the five-year anniversary of the war in Iraq-four days before the U.S. combat death toll in Iraq crossed the 4,000 mark.
President Bush acknowledged in the speech that the war has divided the country: "Five years into this battle, there is an understandable debate over whether the war was worth fighting, whether the fight is worth winning, and whether we can win it," he said. But he reiterated: "The answers are clear to me. Removing Saddam Hussein from power was the right decision, and this is a fight that America can and must win."
At a community college in Fayetteville, N.C., near Fort Bragg, Sen. Barack Obama noted that the war in Iraq had now lasted longer than the Civil War, World War I, and World War II, though it has been fought on a scale far below those conflicts.
"Where are we for all of this sacrifice?" he said. "We are less safe and less able to shape events abroad. We are divided at home, and our alliances around the world have been strained."
Sen. Hillary Clinton appeared the same day at an American Legion post in Huntington, W.Va. She argued for a "cautious withdrawal" of troops that would begin within 60 days of her taking office. "Every one of you who has served knows withdrawing troops can be as dangerous as inserting them," she said.
McCain used the anniversary as an occasion to visit Baghdad, and he issued a statement saying that the United States and its allies in Iraq stood "on the precipice of winning a major victory against radical Islamic extremism."
China's flame
Chinese officials promised "normal operation" of the 2008 Olympic torch relay despite deadly riots in Tibet, where the torch is due to travel next month. The torch was lit in Olympia, Greece, on March 24 amid protests from activists pushing Tibetan independence. After a global tour traversing five continents, one leg of the torch relay is scheduled to attempt an ascent to the top of Mount Everest sometime in May. Afterward, that Olympic flame will be taken through Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, where anti-government protests in March left at least 18 civilians and a police officer dead. Exiled Tibetans say as many as 100 Tibetans died.
Love your enemy
How to combat an enemy who has nothing to lose? A web-based ministry called Adopt a Terrorist for Prayer (atfp.org) says it can help Christians follow biblical guidelines to love and pray for enemies-and that means the kind who strap on explosive belts and wander into crowded street markets. The website includes a catalog of at-large terrorists and guidelines for prayer. "They think they are serving God," said ATFP founder Thomas Bruce, but he believes "they are vulnerable to an authentic word from God and to Jesus' forgiving love." Bruce himself could use prayer: Shortly after launching the site he found out he will be deployed to Iraq as a reservist.
Barring race
The U.S. Supreme Court on March 20 underscored a 1986 ruling that bars the use of race in jury selection. In a 7-2 decision, the court reversed the capital conviction of Allen Snyder, a black death-row inmate in Louisiana. Snyder had alleged that James Williams, the state prosecutor in his case, had excluded five African-American jurors because of their race. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito said the trial judge committed a "clear error" by accepting Williams' explanation for excluding a particular prospective juror, Jeffery Brooks, who is black. The prosecutor told the judge he felt Brooks would have scheduling problems that might lead him to try to rush a verdict. In the majority opinion, Alito noted that white jurors with scheduling issues did not face similar scrutiny. Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia joined in a dissent, saying that trial judges, who are present as a case unfolds, are in a better position to weigh attorneys' motives in jury selection than are appeals court judges reviewing the facts years later.
School choice
In the wake of a Minneapolis Star Tribune story reporting the overt establishment of Islamic practice at a charter elementary school in the Twin Cities area, the local chapter of the ACLU has initiated an investigation.
The Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TIZA) reportedly features carpeted areas for regular daily prayer, a halal menu in the cafeteria, and after-school classes on the Quran, among other religious observances. TIZA received $65,260 in government funds last year.
In a letter to principal Asan Zamad, the ACLU warned against violating the Establishment Clause: "At a minimum, the school must discontinue recruiting volunteers for Friday Prayers, and must not be involved in promoting or providing special treatment to groups providing religious instruction after school hours."
A California appeals court announced March 27 it is vacating a ruling that declared most forms of homeschooling unlawful in the state. The Rachel L decision will not go into effect, and the 2nd District Court of Appeals instead will rehear the case, with a new round of briefings due in late April and oral arguments and another decision to follow.
Stormy spring
At least 13 people died in storms that swept across parts of Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Arkansas on March 19.
Flooding closed major roadways, including parts of Interstate 70 in Ohio, and officials warned that rivers would continue to crest: In Missouri at least five people died and more than 500 homes were evacuated.
At least five people died in a multiple-car accident, and several people drowned in flooding in Missouri and Ohio. Rescue workers saved a man clinging to a tree in the Ohio River after his truck was swept away. Knight Township Fire Chief Chris Wathen said the man showed signs of hypothermia, but would recover: "But I do think it was fair to say he was within minutes of losing his life."
Peace perhaps
Uganda and the rebel Lord's Resistance Army look ready to sign a final peace deal to end one of Africa's longest conflicts on April 5, about a week later than a Kampala deadline but defying predictions that the two sides would begin fighting again.
Progress has slowed because of the rebels' demand that the International Criminal Court (ICC) drop war crimes indictments against their leader Joseph Kony and two deputies-indicted for 21 counts of war crimes and 12 counts of crimes against humanity, which include murder, rape, and enslavement. Uganda, meanwhile, wants to try Kony and his deputies in its national courts.
Both sides signed documents outlining the final agreement and implementation timetable on March 25 in Sudan's southern town of Juba, where talks have been held. "We have completed all the negotiations successfully. We have moved from enemies to be brothers and sisters again," said Ugandan Interior Minister Ruhakana Rugunda.
Man for all seasons
With the March 19 passing of the British actor Paul Scofield, the world lost one of its greatest performers. A 60-year star of stage and screen, the publicity-shy thespian became famous for letting his work stand on its own. Scofield's best-known vehicle was A Man for All Seasons, the 1966 film dramatizing Sir Thomas More's conscience-driven showdown with King Henry VIII over church authority. Scofield's low-key performance as the 16th-century martyr earned him a Best Actor Oscar and brought More and his faith to life for a generation awash in cinematic rebels without causes.
It wasn't the only time that Scofield placed his talent at the service of Christian drama. His portrayal of the suffering ghost in Franco Zeferelli's Hamlet (1990) spoke painful volumes. He also recorded T.S. Eliot's Christian poem cycle Four Quartets and starred in a BBC radio production of C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia.
Homes sweet homes
Sales of existing homes rose 2.9 percent in February, the first such increase in seven months and a rare bit of good news for a housing market stuck in the mud of foreclosure and falling values. The upward swing surprised analysts, who had predicted continuing declines. But within the positive shift is further evidence of long-term trouble: The median home price for those February sales fell 8.2 percent from a year earlier, the sharpest drop since economists began keeping records in 1968.
The upward tick in sales also stems from a 60 percent jump in foreclosures and double the number of bank seizures from a year ago, both of which have glutted the market with under-priced inventory. Such figures pressed the Fed to slash its short-term interest rate by three quarters of a point to 2.25 on March 18. The sixth cut since the end of last summer, it moved the rate 3 percentage points below where it stood in September.
Courts battle
In a close-to-home rebuff of the international justice system, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled March 25 that neither President Bush nor the International Court of Justice, a judicial arm of the UN with its seat at The Hague, has the authority to order a Texas court to reopen a death penalty case involving a foreign national. The justices held 6-3 that judgments of the World Court are not binding on U.S. courts and that Bush's 2005 executive order for courts in Texas to comply is not binding.
Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. rebuked executive and World Court power. "The president's authority to act, as with the exercise of any governmental power, 'must stem either from an act of Congress or from the Constitution itself.'"
The case centered on Jose E. Medellin, now 33, a Houston gang member who took part in the rape, torture, and slaying of two girls, ages 14 and 16, on June 24, 1993. In 2004 the World Court decreed that this and other cases should be overturned because authorities failed to notify Medellin of his right under the Vienna Convention to notify Mexican diplomats of his detention. Bush in response directed the Texas court to reverse itself.

i have installed at my firm zimbra collaborative suite 4.0.4
i have a common problem, all my users are using outlook as their mail client and in pop3. the problem comes when one of the users gets a new computer, the new outlook installation will see the account as a new one, even after i migrate the outlook data files from the old computer to the new 1, outlook will still attempt to download the whole mailbox again.
what i do is log onto the mail account, create a backup folder, and manually move mails from inbox to that new backup folder, each page displays 100 mails max, which of course means if a user has about 20k mails or so it's gonna be a tedious job doing this.
what i'm looking for is a workaround that i might not know of that would prevent outlook from downloading all the mailbox again (like a cache file i gotta backup or something) or a way for zimbra to automatically archive mails in the inbox weekly or daily or on whatever time basis i wish.
please any help guidance tips or links would help.
thanks in advance.

Publishers Weekly
Eye-popping artwork headlines this sensational picture book in praise of insects. Oppenheim's (Have You Seen Birds?) sprightly verse takes an up-close-and-personal view of bugs in all their splendid variety ("Bugs with stripes/ or speckles/ or spots,/ shiny like metal/ or covered in dots"). Meanwhile, Broda's exquisite painted paper sculptures, strategically placed against a series of watercolor backdrops, give the pages depth, texture and a brilliantly surreal flavor. Readers will be craning their necks for a "how did he do that?" look at the detail, from the intricate designs of a butterfly's wing to the gleaming metallic back of a beetle. Touching upon caterpillars and crickets, ladybugs and lacewing dragonflies, author and illustrator cover a lot of ground and, thanks to Oppenheim's hardworking verse as well as the careful art, they pack in a surprising amount of information. While this finely wrought book is particularly well suited to the learning style of younger readers, those at the upper end of the target group will no doubt be equally enthralled. Ages 5-8.
Children's Literature
You will see bugs as you have never seen them before in this informational book on how bugs move, communicate, and even help people. Rhyming verse and full page color illustrations will catch the ear and eye while reading to oneself or others. Ron Broda's award winning three-dimensional paper sculptures of colorful bugs make this a unique and different addition for a library or a classroom collection of insect books. Additional bug information as well as identification of the bug illustrations by page number is provided at the end of the book.
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2-An alliterative, rhyming text is accompanied by dramatic, brilliantly colored, three-dimensional paper sculptures that were photographed to create the final images. This jubilant celebration of insects in a variety of habitats is reinforced informationally by a page-by-page listing of the insects depicted. While millipedes (diplopods) and spiders (arachnids) are not "bugs," most insects (class Insecta) are not "true bugs" either. All of the beasties shown are joint-legged arthropods. This is not a book for sophisticated report writers, but it's perfect for any youngster who has ever followed a flittering butterfly, pondered a spider spinning a web, or chased a twinkling firefly-and even more for those who dream of such joyous experiences. An eye-catching delight.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
