Greg Holland teleconference notes
Greg Holland joined Kansas City media members on a teleconference this afternoon. The right-handed reliever is excited about winning the 2012 Bruce Rice Royals Pitcher of the Year award. He is more proud of coming back from early season struggles and an injury that sent him to the disabled list in late April. Holland felt responsible for several early season losses and was happy to rebound and help the team.
Holland became KC's closer when Jonathan Broxton was traded to Cincinnati on July 31. He would love to be the closer for years to come, though he will let that decision stay with the Royals. Holland says that he learned about being an effective closer from Broxton and Joakim Soria. While both two-time All-Stars were quiet, they carried themselves well and shared knowledge with the rest of KC's young bullpen.
Holland keeps his focus on getting outs, saying that "closing can be hard if you make it". He noted that the sixth or seventh inning can be more difficult than the ninth, depending on the situation.
Holland posted a 1.80 ERA in 2011 and a 2.08 ERA over his final 60 outings in 2012. What can he do for an encore? The 26-year old says that he always has room to improve and will keep grinding. For now, Holland is enjoying a quiet offseason in North Carolina. An avid hunter, Holland prefers to stay close to home and says that the deer are outsmarting him this winter.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) -- The Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer said to have been shot and killed by the Boston Marathon bombing suspects has been identified as 26-year-old Sean Collier.
The Middlesex district attorney's office says Collier was a Somerville resident who had worked at MIT since January 2012. Before that, he was a civilian employee of the Somerville Police Department.
MIT Police Chief John DiFava says Collier was a dedicated officer who was liked by his colleagues and the MIT community.
Collier was found shot several times in his vehicle in Cambridge at about 10:30 p.m. Thursday. He was pronounced dead at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Authorities say he was shot by the two suspects in Monday's marathon bombings.

Installed Beta 3 with British English. Already identified one problem (see earlier post). Now also reporting problem with spell checking.
The spell checking built into Prism is working in the sense that it is identifying misspelled words, presumably using the American dictionary because it doesn't like "organise" or "grey" for example. So it is providing the red squiggly line and the right click menu includes "add to dictionary". HOWEVER it is not offering any suggestions, ever. The right click menu always gives (no suggestions) in grey.
I also have Firefox 3 installed and this is doing British spelling perfectly - it doesn't object to "grey" or "organise" and does offer suggestions.
So this seems to be a problem with Prism/Zdesktop integration, and perhaps an issue about getting Prism to recognise the Firefox addins which are available on my machine. I don't have a clue where to start to get Prism to recognise the Firefox addins. Presumably it should as it is all Mozilla right? Is this a path I should start down? If so, can anyone advise?
I know I could just give up and spell the American way , but I raise these issues in case it is a generic language setting problem in which case the issue will apply to other languages too.

Go With Gusto carrying jockey Joe Crispin to victory in Friday's feature race
AUBURN, Wash. (May 11, 2012) – Perhaps it's the fresh Northwest air or the dirt-racing surface, but there's no denying Go With Gusto thrives at Emerald Downs.
A rare New York-bred seen in these parts, Go With Gusto made it two straight wins at the meeting and eight-for-20 at Emerald Downs with an easy 2-¾ -length victory Friday in the $11,100 feature race for 3-year-olds and up.
With Joe Crispin riding, Go With Gusto ran one mile in 1:36.30 on a fast track and paid $5.40, $3.40 and $2.80. Roy Lumm is the trainer for the Get Lucky Stable.
Go With Gusto swept past Swiss Exploit and Hard Slider into the stretch, and drew off quickly to win with complete authority. It was the 11th win in 50 starts overall for the 7-year-old Yonaguska gelding, and his first in four tries around two turns. The $6,105 winner's share increased Go With Gusto's career earnings to $117,334.
Swiss Exploit, ridden by Javier Matias, was clearly second best and paid $3.80 and $2.40. It was three lengths back to third-place finisher Hard Slider and a $3.60 show payoff.
Swiss Exploit and Hard Slider alternated on the lead in fractions of :24.49, :48.19 and 1:12.09, with Swiss Exploit assuming command on the last turn. Bidding for his fourth straight victory, Swiss Exploit opened a one-length advantage turning for home, but was overtaken by Go With Gusto into the lane.
Shamundi, Ricky Ricky and Dare Me Devil completed the order of finish.
Crispin rode three straight winners on the seven-race card—his third multiple win day in the last four racing days—and leapfrogged into first place with 14 wins. Eliska Kubinova and Leonel Camacho-Flores are tied for second with 12 wins each.
NOTES: Trainer Tim Harder improved to 3-for-3 at the meet as Marquetching ($15.20) returned from a five-month break to lead gate-to-wire in the fifth race…Crispin's other two wins were aboard Marquetching and Zippin E ($2.80) in the seventh…The $2 Daily Double combining Marquetching and fourth race winner Bumpy ($16.60) returned a whopping $995.40—largest of the season…Live racing continues Saturday with a nine-race card at 2:15 p.m.

WHEELING - Three members of Hurricane's state champions and three members of John Marshall's season-long, top-ranked team highlight the West Virginia Class AAA All-State softball squad, announced today by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.
The Redskins, who won 33 games, blitzed through the season - and the state tournament - behind the pinpoint control and powerful stroke of sophomore pitcher/infielder Courtney Rogers, who was named captain of the squad as a utility pick.
While plenty of teams fell victim to Rogers and the Redskins in 2013, Wheeling Park did so when the stakes were highest, as Hurricane twice defeated the Patriots during the tournament in Vienna.
Color Park coach Dee Davis impressed.
"She's very good," Davis said of Rogers. "She's not overpowering, but she hits her spots. If she wants it down and away, that's where it's going. If she wants it up and in, that's where she throws it. Her location is great. Plus she can hit."
It's all true.
The ultimate two-way player, Rogers was 21-3 with 100 strikeouts and a 2.23 ERA in the circle and a robust .492 with 11 home runs and 60 RBI at the plate.
Also making the first-team grade for the Redskins were strong-armed catcher Linzie Reynolds, who batted .466 with 54 hits and 44 RBI, and speedy outfielder Addie Fullen (.425 batting average, two homers and 42 RBI). Fullen was a second teamer a season ago.
"They've got a lot of hitters," Davis said, "and they're all quick. They had team speed. That's a big thing. You can lay it down, your singles can go to doubles and your doubles can go to triples. That makes a difference."
It certainly did for Hurricane, which not only won its first softball title, but was competing in its first state tourney.
For the Monarchs, the 2012 champions who were eliminated by Wheeling Park in a regional final, infielder Kylie Howard caps her career with a fourth consecutive first-team nod.
"She's probably the most talented and most athletic player we've ever had," JM coach Ed West said. "She's been very good, very consistent, and she can beat you in a lot of ways. If she's not getting hits and driving in runs, she's making plays on defense and getting people out. She does a lot of good things."
Monarchs pitcher Amy Rotriga earns her third consecutive selection after being named second team her freshman season, and Alyssa "Sis" George made the club as an outfielder.
Howard, who injured a knee in basketball, rallied to hit .400 with 10 doubles, eight triples and 36 RBI, while the left-handed Rotriga capped her senior season with an 0.99 ERA in 155.3 innings, striking out 278 batters along the way.
George, a junior, led the Monarchs with a team-best 38 RBI while batting .414 with four home runs.
Though George will be back, Rotriga, Howard and catcher Kristin Lewicki (the 2013 captain of the second team) leave as leaders of JM teams that went a combined 65-8 the last two seasons, had winning streaks of 24, and 29, and went to three state tournaments.
"They've been an excellent group, both on the field and off the field," West said. "They've been a pleasure to coach and pleasure to watch for four years."
Rounding out the pitchers are St. Albans senior Ali Haynes, the state's leader with 27 victories who had 166 strikeouts and a 1.25 ERA in 191 innings, South Charleston's Alli Burdette, a repeat first teamer who went 19-8 with a state-best 326 strikeouts in 176 innings, Morgantown's Tara Hanson (11-4, 85 strikeouts, 0.55 ERA with 11 complete games), whose only losses came to John Marshall and Wheeling Park, and Ripley junior Chelsey Hager, who went 10-4 in the circle with a 1.05 ERA.
Haynes, who also hit .442 with five homers, 44 RBI, and 18 doubles, was the second team captain in 2012.
Joining Howard in the infield is Park's Carly Greer, a junior pitcher/first baseman who batted .381 with a pair of homers and 18 RBI to go along with 77 strikeouts in 92 innings pitched, Morgan Zerkle (.647, BA, 4 HR, 23 RBI, 59 runs) and Morgan Kelley (.456, 8 HR, 54 RBI) of Cabell Midland, and MacKenzie Milam (.641, 6 HR, 39 RBI) of Shady Spring. Kelley is a repeat first teamer, while Zerkle also accomplished the feat in 2011 as a sophomore.
Grabbing the other two utility spots were Jefferson's Alexandra Witt (.447, 8 HR) and Parkersburg's Brittany Allison (.427, 7 HR, 26 RBI).
St. Albans' senior Mariah Caudill (.442, 4 HR, 55 RBI) is the club's other catcher.
Lewicki, John Marshall's leading hitter at .524, including 45 singles from her leadoff spot, was named to the second team for a third straight year.

WASHINGTON (KSDK) - On Wednesday, the second anniversary of the Joplin tornado, Acting U.S. Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank announced a $20 million grant will be awarded to the city to help fund the town's economic recovery.
The grant will come from the Economic Development Administration and help redevelop Joplin's 20th Street corridor.
"We are grateful for this grant as it spurs additional redevelopment activities within Joplin and demonstrates what can be accomplished through collaboration among many. We are pleased with this economic development effort, as it creates opportunities for new business which will provide jobs for our citizens," said Joplin Mayor Melodee Colbert-Kean.
The May 22, 2011 tornado destroyed more than 550 businesses, approximately 7,500 homes, and killed 161 people.
Joplin was previously awarded two smaller disaster recovery grants by the EDA. This grant is part of a $200 million appropriation made by Congress to the EDA for communities in need of long-term economic recovery and infrastructure support from a major disaster that occurred in fiscal year 2011.

Finally, it's time! I am so happy to be able to share these pictures with all of you. It has been hard selecting pictures since there are so many but I finally sat down to do it. Our mehendi was so much fun – I wish I could go back! Without further ado, check out the pictures below that were taken by our photographer, Big Al Studios.
For the decor, I wanted to keep everything simple. I am in love with tents so that is all that I had wanted for the stage.
My outfit was mainly emerald green with accents of magenta and navy blue. My parents and sisters wore the reverse colours of me – mainly magenta or navy blue. Both the males and females on my side wore navy blue – the men were provided with turquoise dupatta's. Nouman's family gave beige kurta's to all the boys and turquoise dupatta's aswell. Nouman's male cousins all wore white. Nouman wore a brown kurta with a beige shalwar and dupatta.
Therefore, the decor matched the above colours. The tent was mainly green with panels of navy blue, turquoise and magenta. I did not want an overtly pink look – I preferred to have the blue's and greens more prominent. The tablecloth and chair covers were gold with turquoise overlays for the tables and navy/royal blue napkins.
Mehendi Thaals:
Nouman's family had cute trays and candles that they had decorated with flowers and pearl necklaces. I bought most of my stuff from the dollar store – with the exception of a few pieces from Pakistan. My side had: flower baskets, lanterns, colourful candleholders, a tray with small bowls filled with mehendi, ubtan and toothpicks (from Pakistan), a decorated mehendi plate from Pakistan with 2 paans (leaves) that my mom had attached gota to, velvet paisley and glitter trays, 2 trays of chooriyan covered with velvet fabric, a green coloured platter from Pakistan full of fruits, a basket full of nuts from the Middle East and a tray with Nouman's flower haar (garland).
Nouman's Entrance:
As he entered behind the girls, the music cut to Brooklyn Go Hard by Jay-Z ft. Santogold. Nouman donned a "NY" hat at the entrance of the hall and then walked to the stage.
My Entrance:
The doors opened to the first beat of Peer Manava (Black and White). As I walked, I was nervous and excited.
I had learned from my baat pakki and kept fruits instead of mithai for our feeding. As a result, even though we had a long lineup of people feeding us, I didn't feel sick.
Our Photoshoot:
Most of the pictures below were taken separately before we saw each other. The photoshoot we had of us during dinner was mainly a couples shoot (duh!). The last two pictures in this section are from out photoshoot together.
Dholki and Dances:
The most enteratining portion of the night – everybody did a fantastic job. We had seven dances in total – each roughly around 4-5 minutes. My sisters dance was 9 minutes long! Dances were done by: My family friends – Shahab Brothers, Family Friend Girls, Family Friend Boys, My Sisters, Nouman's brother and sister-in-law, Nouman's cousin and Nouman and the boys. With the exception of the last dance, all of them used a medley of songs – surprisingly, not a single song overlapped!
The end.

Jacksonville police blocked a neighborhood street Thursday afternoon during a narcotics investigation that involved a team of officers at the scene.
Jacksonville Police Department officials confirmed the closure of Ash Street was part of the investigation.
Police said the investigation posed no immediate threat to public safety.
They declined to offer details in the investigation, which they said is sensitive.
A Jacksonville police cruiser blocked Ash Street near Hickory Road after 5:30 p.m. Thursday. Jacksonville Police Department, Onslow County Sheriff�s Office and Southwest Volunteer Fire Department were at the scene.
Squad cars were parked in front of the home.
One investigator was seen donning a protective suit before entering the residence, which was behind a line of vehicles, including police cruisers.
The neighborhood was not evacuated.
The investigation did not interrupt children who were jumping on a trampoline or two women chatting in lawn chairs.

Witch hazel and other natural astringents served as the active ingredients in many of the first beauty products to be mass produced for women during the early part of the nineteenth century. These clarifiers and toners improved the appearance of the skin by making adjustments to the acid content of the tissue. Although women now have many items to choose from for their skin care needs, toners and clarifiers that contain natural ingredients remain an important part of any beauty regimen. The products in the Kerstin Florian Toners and Clarifiers collection provide your skin with a multitude of benefits.
The formulas found in the Kerstin Florian Toners and Clarifiers line have their roots in natural skin care remedies and traditions, but use the latest research to enhance their effectiveness. The items in the Kerstin Florian Toners and Clarifiers line promote skin cell turnover, remove excess oil and even out your skin texture with every use. The Kerstin Florian Toners and Clarifiers range includes a variety of options, each of which is especially formulated with specific skin care concerns in mind.
The naturally-based formulations found in the Kerstin Florian Toners and Clarifiers collection subtly adjust the pH of your complexion to give your skin a uniform, healthy texture. With products available for all skin types, the toners and clarifiers lineup offers benefits for moisturizing, exfoliating and protecting facial tissue and also prepares your skin for the other revolutionary treatments developed by Kerstin Florian.
Kerstin Florian Rehydrating Neroli Water clarifies your complexion without robbing it of essential moisture through the incredible effectiveness of bitter orange blossom extract, which is commonly called neroli oil. The fragrance of the toner carries aromatherapeutic benefits to reduce anxious feelings and promote a sense of peace and vitality. The gentleness of the clarifier makes it suitable for use not only on the face, but also on the rest of the body.
Kerstin Florian Correcting Refining Toner is the clarifier of choice to reduce the appearance of visible signs of skin damage caused by sunlight and other factors. Salicylic and phytic acids in the formula function as exfoliators, removing dead cells to make the skin's texture more even and its appearance more enlivened and radiant.
Kerstin Florian Rejuvenating Thermal Tonic makes the ideal follow-up to cleansing for normal, dry and mature skin. Witch hazel extract in the toner balances the oil content across your entire complexion for a smooth, soft feeling with no dryness or patches of shine. Chamomile and rose flower oil complement the natural astringent by soothing and healing troubled and sensitive skin.

|Marching Band Showcase features instrumentalists, color guard
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
In a new event on the HHS schedule, HHS band members performed a 2012 Marching Band Showcase in the school auditorium Thursday, Oct. 25.
Included in the event's entertainment were the Pep Band program for the Marching Band season, the halftime show with a drumline feature and Color Guard routine and a senior feature percussion ensemble.
Band instructor Mitsuko Martinez directed the program.
Acknowledgement was given by Martinez and the band to former band director Pat Wiebers, thanking her for her dedication as she provided cinnamon rolls for early-morning practices and in general showed full support for the band.
Members of the HHS Marching Band Color Guard team who performed at last week's Showcase are pictured from left, front row, Tori Biersdorfer, Alyssa Livermore and Whitney Powell; and back row, Lori McWilliams, Destiny Lohman, Kaetlynne Overton and Danielle Brandt. Not pictured are team member Josilyn Lutze and coach Melody Denbo.

Pep Band program songs kicked off last week's program, as band members performed numbers that they played from the stands during the football home games this season.
Holyoke Fight Song started the program, followed by The Hey Song, Go Big Green, Great Balls of Fire, We Didn't Start the Fire, Proud Mary, Land of 1,000 Dances, The Final Countdown, My Sharona, Gonna Fly Now, My Girl and YMCA.
The 2012 Halftime Show performance included I Get Around and California Dreaming. A drumline feature with Ben Martinez and Alyssa Cordova was included, as well as Color Guard routines.
Members of the Color Guard are Alyssa Livermore, Kaetlynne Overton, Destiny Lohman, Dani Brandt, Lori McWilliams, Josilyn Lutze and eighth-graders Whitney Powell and Tori Biersdorfer. They are coached by Melody Denbo.
A senior feature, The Final Cadence, concluded Thursday night's program. The original percussion ensemble composition was directed by percussionists Alyssa Cordova and Ben Martinez.
They included fellow seniors Molly Brandt, Camille Elliott and Lindsay Helgoth in the show, as well. It was noted that senior Matt Golden had played in the ensemble when it was a halftime show, but he was unable to attend last week's program.
Director Martinez acknowledged band officers, including Molly Brandt, president; and Ana Conklin, band librarian.

Custom Paint Job Facts - Don't Let New Paint Be The Only Shiny Part On Your CarWritten by on December 1, 2008 Facts To Having Your Car Painted
There's nothing like a new paint job to improve the looks of your ride, but there are a few things you can do to get the most benefit from having your car painted. First, when the decision is made to paint your car, be sure you paint areas like doorjambs, the inside of the trunk, and the engine bay so they match the exterior of the car. Also, have the painter paint the upper and lower inner door frames with the properly coded interior paint. Then, once the fresh paint is applied, attention needs to be paid to the fine points that really accent a new paint job. Remember that shiny paint attracts attention, and when people pay more attention to your car they notice details like the condition of the interior, trim, chrome, emblems, and all the other items that set a good-looking car apart from the rest.
Instead of simply bolting your old emblems back onto the car, we suggest you replace them, or at least clean and polish them, before installation. The same goes for stainless trim, chrome, and the bumpers. While the chrome on your car may have looked ok before the car was painted, new paint will make old chrome look dull and show the age of the car.
The interior is another area that should be looked at after a paint job, especially the areas adjacent to the new paint. Tattered seats and old sill plates really become noticeable when the paint is new, so consider replacing or refurbishing these items while the car is being painted.
Another way to really set off a good paint job is by adding factory style stripes or a new set of wheels. Stripes kits for most Mopars are readily available from Year One, are inexpensive, easy to install, and really add to the muscular look of most Mopar body styles.
Mopar owners are lucky to have some cool factory wheels to choose from, but the factory wheels may need to be repainted or the trim rings and centers may need to be replaced to look their best. New aftermarket wheels are another good way to accent your car's new paint, and with so many new wheel styles available these days, the sky's the limit.
So when you paint your Mopar, don't forget to spend a little time on the rest of the car. You'll be even happier with it when the rest of the car looks as great as the paint.

While your car is being painted, don't forget to have the paint shop repaint the inside of the doors and other areas of the interior that were painted from the factory. The trim code for the interior color can be found on the fender tag, just below the paint code for the exterior.Old wheels just don't look good next to new paint, so we recommend either replacing or restoring your car's wheels once the new paint is applied. Companies such as Wheel Vintiques offer factory looking wheels, like these Magnum 500s that are made from billet aluminum.Adding stripes to your car will really accent your new paint job. Stripe kits are inexpensive, readily available for most Mopar body styles, and installing them is fairly straightforward.Though just painting the car's exterior may be cheaper, you'll regret it later when you pop the hood. We recommend having the engine bay, doorjambs, and inner trunk prepped and painted at the same time as the exterior. It may cost you a few more dollars, but the end result will be worth the money.The interior-especially the areas adjacent to the paint-should be given some attention as well. Notice how nice the new sill plate looks in contrast to the old, discolored one that was replaced. Paying attention to details like this will ensure you get the most out of your new paint.Notice how aftermarket wheels give the same car a different look. There are literally hundreds of aftermarket wheels on the market today, and shiny new wheels are second only to new paint when it comes to improving the look of your car.

Royals lend a hand in Joplin
Here are a few of the many pictures that team photographer Chris Vleisides sent us from the Governor's Joplin Challenge. To learn more about this Habitat for Humanity project, visit http://joplinchallenge.mo.gov/
Royals Hall of Famer John Mayberry
The project was a change of pace for some associates (below). For Rick Bobki (above), it had some similarities to his regular day at Kauffman Stadium. Bobki is the team's lead carpenter.
Willie Aikens and Assistant GM Dean Taylor work to finish their siding project.
Here's a group photo of Royals associates, alumni, staff from the Northwest Arkansas Naturals and Habitat for Humanity. Two of the homes that the group worked on are in the background.

Showers approach from the West. The morning will feature increasing clouds. The afternoon will bring the showers from the south and west. Rain chances only increase tonight and tomorrow. Thursday is likely going to have thunderstorms too.
Temps today stay lower in the afternoon - mid 70s not 80s thanks to the clouds and rain. Overnight temps near 60, and highs again on Thursday struggle a bit to reach the mid 70s.
Clearing (SLOWLY) is on order for Friday and the weekend looks SPRINGTASTIC!

I am a bit stuck with the installation of the Zimbra Outlook Connector for a user that is part of active directory.
According to the instructions, The user that is going to be using the outlook connector must be made administrator. Does this mean that an active directory user would need to be made domain administrator in order to be able to install the zimbra outlook connector?
I tried making the local user administrator and installing the Zimbra Outlook Connector there, which is fine, except that when the user connects as a domain user, the Outlook Connector is not there.
How do you currently install the Zimbra Outlook Connector for AD users?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Not too long ago, the school of thought espoused by those who liked George W. Bush when he was giving speeches that sounded as if Ricky from Trailer Park Boys wrote them was that people who don't like the president are not American.

How a Cincinnati native went from 'O'Reilly Factor' producer to Gawker's "Fox Mole"
Jake Whitney
0 Comments · Wednesday, August 21, 2013
By April 2012, Joe Muto could no longer stand working at Fox News. As a producer of The O'Reilly Factor, and in several previous positions with Fox, Muto had hidden his liberal views while telling himself he wasn't really contributing to the channel's conservative bias.

Curmudgeon Notes 2.20.2013
Media musings from Cincinnati and beyond
• Giovanna Chirri, the veteran Vaticanista who understood the pope's Latin, broke the news that he'd just announced his resignation. She works for the Italian news agency, ANSA. Her skill recalled Ernest Sackler at Rome's UPI bureau when I was a photojournalist stringer during John XXIII's papacy. Ernest truly understood Vatican Latin well enough to turn it into flowing English; colleagues spoke of him with awe. • I'm grateful to the Enquirer for running a story on Sen. Rand Paul's response to the State of the Union Message. It wasn't on NPR or any other network that I could find. His Washington office did not respond to my question of whether the Kentucky Republican offered his remarks to any broadcasters/cable networks. • Tens of millions of Americans will become eligible for subsidized medical care under Obama's Affordable Care Act. Who's going to treat them? I haven't seen that in the news. And while reporters are working out that story, ask how the required additional primary care physicians will pay off college and medical school debts on the salaries that will be paid to their specialties. • And once journalists dig into the supply of physicians to handle Medicaid expansion, I hope they'll ask who's going to staff quality preschool education for every American child. Obama can be aspirational, but we're not talking about minimum wage diaper changers. Early learning centers require trained pre-school educators. And while they're at it, reporters should ask where these new early childhood educators will train and who's going pick up the tab. After all, they'll never repay college loans on day care wages. • Maybe I missed it in the admiring coverage of our government killing American Islamists abroad with drone rocket attacks: What prevents Obama from killing Americans in this country with drone strikes? None of the news stories or commentaries I've read or heard addressed that point. There would be no shortage of targets. Wouldn't the sheriff have loved a drone-launched missile to kill Christopher Dorner, the rogue ex-LAPD cop? That might have spared the deputy whom Dorner killed during the flaming finale in the San Bernardino mountains. And what prevents our increasingly militarized police from using their own armed drones? Imagine what authorities could have done with armed drones during earlier, infamous encounters: A missile fired at armed members of the American Indian Movement at Wounded Knee, S.D., could have avenged inept, vain and foolish George Armstrong Custer and FBI agents killed in the 1973 siege. No feds would have died if a drone-launched missile incinerated Randy Weaver's family with during its deadly 1992 confrontation with feds at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect were incinerated by the feds' 1993 armored assault in Texas. That would have been a perfect photo op for a domestic drone attack. • Sometimes, "national security" is the rationale for requested or commanded self-censorship, even when secrets aren't secret. For instance, British editors held stories about Prince Harry until he returned the first time from Afghanistan. However, an Australian women's magazine reported he was in combat. The non-secret was a secret because no one paid attention. More recently, the new U.S. drone base in Saudi Arabia was supposed to be a secret. Obama officials asked major news media to hold the story and they agreed. National security, you know. But it wasn't a secret. Washington Post blogger Erik Wemple said Fox News already had reported U.S. plans to build the facility in Sept. 2011. Three months before that, the Times of London reported construction of the Saudi drone base. When the New York Times broke the agreement and reported the Saudi drone base, everyone jumped on the story. Now, the Times, the Post and AP are trying to explain why they kept the non-secret from us. • Gone are the days when senior Israeli government officials could call in top editors and broadcasters and tell them what they could not report. Last week, a tsunami of technology overwhelmed official Israeli efforts to censor the story of Prisoner X. Israeli journalists were not to report his existence or mention the censorship order. National security, you know. However, an Australian network named an Aussie as Prisoner X and said he reportedly committed suicide three years ago in an Israeli prison. Social media and the online world took it from there: "Aussie recruited by Israeli spy agency dies in Israeli prison." Israel dropped efforts to censor the Prisoner X story and is issuing official statements about the case. • San Bernardino's sheriff asked journalists to quit tweeting from the final gunfight with former LAPD cop Christopher Dorner. Bizarre. If authorities feared Dorner would gain tactical information, they misread his situation: Dorner was surrounded in a mountain cabin, tear gas was being lobbed in and men outside were trying to shoot him. He probably was too busy to read tweets. Moreover, only one reporter was close enough to tweet anything remotely useful to anyone. Most reporters initially or finally ignored the sheriff. The tweet issue first arose during the 2008 Muslim terrorist attack on Mumbai when invaded the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. Some authorities reportedly feared accomplices outside were reading news media tweets and forwarding tactical information about police and army movements to gunmen inside. I don't remember if anyone asked reporters to quit tweeting. • A new poll says Fox hit an alltime low for the four years Public Policy Polling has tracked trust/distrust among TV networks: 41 percent trust Fox, 46 percent do not. The poll didn't find anything for other networks to brag about. Only PBS had more "trust" than "distrust" among viewers: 52 percent trust, 29 percent don't trust. The poll questioned 800 voters by telephone from Jan. 31 to Feb. 3. • Garry Wills' new book, Why Priests, sets out to debunk Catholicism's dearest dogmas and doctrines concerning priests, bishops and the papacy. NPR's Diane Rehm gave him an hour last week to say why Catholic ordained clergy are an unnecessary accretion. Then she asked an outgunned parish priest from the Washington, D.C. area for a rebuttal. If she really wanted a lively, informed argument, there is no shortage of priest-scholars who could have matched Wills' credentials and talents as an historian. It was unfair and cringe-worthy. • It's touchy when an unpleasantry is brought up in an obit: a long forgiven conviction, a "love child," whatever. More often, predictably awkward moments are omitted in the spirit of de mortuis nil nisi bonum. Here's HuffingtonPost on a full-blown omission in the recent obit on former New York mayor and mensch Ed Koch: "The New York Times revised its Friday obituary . . . after several observers noticed that it lacked any mention of his controversial record on AIDS. The paper's obituary, written by longtime staffer Robert D. MacFadden, weighed in at 5,500 words. Yet, in the first version of the piece, AIDS was mentioned exactly once, in a passing reference to 'the scandals and the scourges of crack cocaine, homelessness and AIDS.' The Times also prepared a 22-minute video on Koch's life that did not mention AIDS. This struck many as odd; after all, Koch presided over the earliest years of AIDS, and spent many years being targeted by gay activists who thought he was not doing nearly enough to stop the spread of the disease. Legendary writer and activist Larry Kramer called Koch 'a murderer of his own people' because the mayor was widely known as a closeted gay man." • New York's Ed Koch admired Wall Street Journal reporter Danny Pearl's recorded last words before Muslim terrorists beheaded him. Koch had Pearl's affirmation of faith engraved on his own tombstone in Manhattan's Trinity Church graveyard: "My father is Jewish, my mother is Jewish, I am Jewish." • A former student reporter rarely rates an obit in the national media, but Annette Buchanan wasn't ordinary. In the mid-1960s, she refused a court order to name sources for her story about student marijuana use on the University of Oregon campus. Her story ran in the Oregon Daily Emerald, the campus paper. No shield law protected her promise of confidentiality. The Emerald said she was fined the maximum $300 and the state supreme court affirmed her contempt of court conviction. That led to the creation of Oregon's shield law for journalists. She died recently. • An unresolved First Amendment issue is whether bloggers can be protected by state shield laws that allow journalists to keep sources secret. The latest case is from New Jersey. Poynter.com said blogger Tina Renna refused to identify government officials whom she said misused county generators after Hurricane Sandy. Union County prosecutors demanded the 16 names, saying Renna wasn't a journalist protected by New Jersey's shield law because she's been involved in politics, her blog is biased and she's often critical of county government. The Newark Star-Ledger took her side. It said shield law protection "shouldn't hinge on whether someone is a professional, nonpartisan or even reliable journalist. It's a functional test: Does Renna gather information that's in the public interest and publish it? Yes." Renna "can be a little wild, she's not the same as a professional reporter and she drives local officials crazy. But part of democracy is putting up with Tina Renna." A court will probe whether Renna is a journalist as defined by the state shield law; that is, whether bloggers can be included by analogy under protected electronic news media. • Few ledes — introductory sentences in news stories — are as lame as those saying the subject "doesn't look" like some stereotype. For years, it usually referred to a woman in an unconventional (read men's) occupation or pastime. "She didn't look like a steelworker . . . " or, "You wouldn't think a tiny blonde bagged a deadly wild boar with a huge .44 magnum revolver." Male subjects aren't immune, as in this lede from a recent Washington Post story: "Farmer Hugh Bowman hardly looks the part of a revolutionary who stands in the way of promising new biotech discoveries and threatens Monsanto's pursuit of new products . . . " What do revolutionaries look like? Lenin was pictured in suit and tie. Gandhi wore a white, draped sari or dhoti, Mandela and fellow ANC rebels often wore suits and ties. Young 1960s American and French student rebels never wore suits and ties and needed haircuts. Today's young North African activists dress the same for class or a demonstration. "Doesn't look like" wouldn't even fit an androgynous male model in the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show. He'd be there because he looks like a classic, young, leggy "angel." • Have you noticed how hurricanes, floods, blizzards and tornadoes are morphing from evidence of climate change into photo ops? News media see them as so common that little reporting is required beyond images and stories of hardship: shoppers hoarding sliced white bread, downed trees and shattered homes, marooned airline passengers and days without power. Maybe there's the throwaway quote from some climatologist about change affecting weather, but for the most part, that's it. I'm betting this deliberate ignorance is a Republican Party plot to show that increasingly frequent, dangerous weather reflects the Intelligent Design that gave us dino-riding cavemen a few thousand years ago. • The Enquirer devoted Page 1 to a dramatic OMG! graphic and story suggesting Cincinnati was terrible because it had no black candidate for mayor. An accompanying list of movers and shakers had few blacks. The presentation suggested the all-white mayoral contest meant amiss in a city where whites are the largest minority. However, whites and blacks told reporters that leadership rather than color was foremost among attributes they sought in a mayor. Moreover, with so many African Americans in visible leadership roles in the city, having a black mayor succeed a black mayor was less of an issue than the paper suggested.

Important: New Members FAQ
New Members FAQ
Hi and welcome to UG
The following is a list of frequently asked questions and their answers. It has been compiled to help all users to understand how the forum works and prevent the same questions from being asked 50 times a day. Please also read The Rules, Site FAQ and Pit FAQ for further information.
First off:
The New Members Q&A Forum is for questions about the website and forums. All questions about guitar should be directed to the appropriate forum, such as Guitar Techniques for help with learning how to play the guitar, or Electric Guitar for discussing different models of electric guitar.
Threads which are posted in the wrong forum will be moved or closed.
If you are confused about any part of this FAQ, please ask a moderator for help
Who are the moderators and what do they do?
- The current list of moderators, administrators and column cleaners can be found here.
- The mods, admins and CCs, as they are generally referred to, are responsible for keeping the forums and columns (comments in news articles, etc.) clean and organised. They are responsible for enforcing the rules, closing/deleting threads, giving out warnings/bans, and many other things.
How do you become a moderator/CC?
- New mods are added to the team only when they are required. The current mods and admins nominate people who they believe would do a good job as a moderator. We suggest people who we think are responsible, active in the forum in question, and who may have knowledge related to the forum in question (ie. Someone who knows a lot about amps might be nominated in the Guitar Gear & Accessories Forum).
- The mods then discuss the given options and when a decision is made, the prospective mod is asked if theyd like to join the team. If they say yes, they become a mod/CC.
*Note* Asking to be modded/CCd will not help you to be chosen.
What do the different coloured names mean?
- Administrators have moderating powers in every forum which means they can delete/close/move threads and posts, edit posts, warn/ban users, etc. They can also change usernames (special circumstances only), delete user accounts, add and remove mods, add and delete forums, etc.
- Supermods also have moderating powers in every forum. They can also edit some user options such as avatars and signatures if needed.
- Moderators have moderating powers only in their designated forum(s).
- Column Cleaners can delete any spam or offensive comments in the columns section of the site (lessons/articles, etc.). Their warning and banning privileges extend only to users who abuse the columns, not the forums.
What is a signature/avatar/user title? How do I change mine?
- Your signature is a piece of text that will be added to the end of every post you make. It must be no more than 250 characters in length (including any code) and cannot contain embedded images.
- Your avatar is the small picture that appears beside every post you make. It must be 50x50 pixels in size or smaller, and no larger than 19.5kb. If you need a picture resized, please visit the Avatar Exchange.
- Your user title is the small piece of writing that appears directly below your username, next to each post you make.
- All of these options can be changed in your Control Panel which can be found near the top of your screen:
- The options to edit your signature, avatar and user title (found within Edit Profile) can be found on the left menu in your Control Panel:
How do I 'sig' someone/put a quote in my signature?
- First you need to obtain the quote you'd like to put in your sig. Do this by clicking the 'Quote' button underneath the post containing the quote. Select all of the text that is given to you, including the [quote] tags, right click, and select copy (or alternatively you may copy by pressing Ctrl-C).
- Now go to your Control Panel, click 'Edit Signature' on the left, paste the text into the box provided, and click 'Save Signature'.
Can I change my username?
- No.
How do I put a picture in my post?
- If the picture is saved on your computer, you can attach it to your post on the Advanced Reply page. Scroll down to the Additional Options and choose Manage Attachments:
- If the picture has been uploaded to the web or you found it on a website, you will need the URL of the image which should end in an extension such as .jpg or .gif. Copy and paste this address into your post, and surround it with IMG tags, so it looks like this:
What should I do if I don't know which forum my thread belongs in?
- Before making the thread, you should ask right here in the New Members Q&A Forum, or send a private message to a moderator.
What should I do if I see someone spamming/advertising on the forums?
- When you see a thread which is obviously spam or advertising (i.e is completely pointless or contains links to websites which are trying to sell something/contain pornography, etc.) do not post in it for any reason unless you are reporting it, and include *reported* in your post so other users are aware that the thread has been reported. Bumping these kinds of threads is not appreciated and you'll receive a warning for it, even if you're telling the threadstarter not to spam.
- If the thread has already been reported by someone, just ignore it. It's not ok to spam the thread up even more, and each thread does not need to be reported more than once. Once again, warnings will be given out to anyone who contributes to a spam thread.
Why is my post count wrong?
- Posts made in the New Members forum and in The Pit do not count towards your post count. These posts are added to your post count initially but will regularly be subtracted from your total, so don't be surprised if it fluctuates.
How does the warning/ban system work?
-This is explained in The Pit's rules announcement.
This FAQ is a work in progress. Information will be added and edited as is necessary. Please ask in this forum or PM one of the moderators of this forum if you have any questions

I have lots of questions to ask, which forum should I post in? Can I just post threads anywhere?
- UG is made up of many different forums for a reason and each one has a specific purpose. It is important that the forums are kept organised so everyone can find the information they need quickly and easily. Please post your threads in the correct forums wherever possible so you have the best chance of getting a helpful response.
- If you are unsure where your thread belongs, please ask a moderator (for example, if you have a question about bass amps and you aren't sure whether it should go in Bass Guitar or Guitar Gear & Accessories, send a PM to one of the mods in BG or GG&A, and please be patient when waiting for a response as we're quite busy ) or ask right here in the New Member's forum.
A quick overview of which topics/questions belong in which forum:
New Members Q&A Forum - A place to introduce yourself (in the stickied thread), or ask questions about use of the forums. This includes questions about posting on the forums (how to post pictures, hotlinks, etc.) and how to edit your profiles (including signatures, avatars and UG profiles). The FAQ thread and Rules thread are essential reading.
The Pit - For all general discussion on topics that are NOT covered by another forum. This does not mean that The Pit is a spam forum - all of the Rules still apply in this forum.
Archives of the Best Threads - Where we move the most informative or best threads that we believe are worth keeping. This is a closed forum, no one can post in the Archives.
Bands & Artists - This is where you discuss music by famous musicians and local bands. It is divided into several different subforums so make sure you post your threads in the correct genre. The 'Other' forum is for artists who do not fit into any of the other subforums (classical, rap, dance music, etc.).
Songwriting and Lyrics - The S&L rules are very different from other UG forums, so please read the rules in the announcement at the top of S&L before posting.
The main forum is the place to post ORIGINAL writing (poetry, prose or song lyrics) for critique. Do not ask questions about how to write lyrics in S&L, go to S&L Techniques for that.
- S&L Contests - A subforum of S&L where you can participate in any ongoing Lyric Competitions.
You MUST have approval from a Mod before starting a contest thread. Ideas for lyrics contests may be posted in the thread provided.
- S&L Techniques - A subforum of S&L for the discussion of lyric writing techniques and composing songs, (eg. the combination of lyrics and guitar). Do not ask questions solely theory/guitar based - they belong in Musician Talk.
Riffs and Recordings - Where you can post tabs or MP3s of your own songs.
- Tabs and Chords - A subforum of Riffs & Recordings. Post your original tablature here for others to critique.
- Original Recordings - A subforum of Riffs & Recordings. Post your recordings or links to your recordings here for others to listen to and give input on.
- Covers - A subforum of Riffs & Recordings. Post your recordings of previously recorded songs here for others to give input on.
Tab Talk - Post any requests for guitar or bass tablature in here. Always check the UG Tab Archive before you request a song.

A new feature called Widgets has been added to the UG main page. Widgets are handy tools that can give you information about the community, tabs, etc.
How do I start using Widgets?
- Visit the UG main page.
- Click the green square with the plus sign on the left hand side.
(If you can't find the Green Button, you need to close the sidebar in your browser (if you're using it) or reduce the size of your display. You can reduce the size temporarily by pressing the [ctrl] and [-] keys at the same time, once or twice. After setting up the Widgets, you can return to normal size by pressing [ctrl] and [0] (that's the number 0 not the letter O).)
- The screen will expand vertically and give you access to the Widget menu, where you can see which Widgets are available and choose the ones that you would like to view on your home page.
- The Widget menu can be collapsed at any time by clicking the green square again (it will now have a minus sign instead of a plus sign).
The Criminal Status Widget
This widget will tell you if you currently have any active warnings or bans, and how long they will remain active.
To use this Widget, follow the steps above to view the Widget menu, and then:
- Click on the selection for "Fun Widgets".
- The widget on the left is Criminal Status. Press and hold the left button on your mouse and drag the icon downward.
- A new region appears on your screen. This is where the Widgets you've selected will be active. Drag the icon into any of the three windows then release the mouse button.
- The Criminal Status widget will expand to fill the window. This is what it looks like under normal conditions:
- If you hover over the widget, you'll get a preview of the result of a warning. In the preview, you'll see a reminder to follow the rules.
- If you actually have a warning, the little inmate will look like this but he'll be holding a sign that says "Hooligan". Also, the number of days until the warning expires will be indicated on the upper right.
- This is the picture you really don't want to see. Our little inmate is "On The Rocks". See how sad and pale he is. Don't let this happen to you. Fortunately for him, this is his first ban, so he only has 30 days until release.

Boycott-freeFor the first time since 1972, the Games were boycott-free, due to important global political changes. Apartheid had been abolished in South Africa. Then there was the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of West and East Germany. Communism had ended and the Soviet Union was divided into 15 separate countries which participated as a "unified team".
Newcomers and youngstersBaseball debuted as a full medal discipline having appeared as an exhibition or demonstration sport at six previous Games. Badminton and women's judo were also added to the Olympic programme, and Spain's coxswain in the eights, 11-year-old Carlos Front, became the youngest Olympic competitor since 1900.
Memorable championsMen's basketball became open to all professionals and the US sent a "Dream Team" of superstars including Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. Needless to say they dominated the event and won gold. Another impressive performer was gymnast Vitaly Scherbo, who won six golds, including four in one day.
African hopeIn the last lap of the 10,000m final, Derartu Tulu of Ethiopia darted into the lead and went on to win. At the finishing line, she waited for her opponent Elana Meyer, a white South African. They set off hand-in-hand for a victory lap that symbolised hope for a new Africa.

Boycott-freeFor the first time since 1972, the Olympic Games were boycott-free.
The Historical ChangesIn the years that followed the 1988 Games, the world witnessed important political changes. Apartheid was abolished in South Africa, which allowed the country to participate in the Olympic Games again, for the first time since 1960. Then there was the fall of the Berlin wall and the reunification of West and East Germany, as well as North and South Yemen. Communism was wiped out in the Soviet Union and the USSR was divided into 15 separate countries. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the independent teams of Estonia and Latvia made their first apparition since 1936 and Lithuania sent its first team since 1928. The other ex-Soviet republics participated as a "unified team", although the winners were honoured under the flags of their own republics.
HockeyAndreas Keller of the gold medal-winning German field hockey team was the third generation of his family to win a medal in the event. His grandfather, Erwin, earned a silver medal in 1936 and his father, Carsten, a gold in 1972.
YugoslaviaThe only controversy concerned Yugoslavia, which was the subject of United Nations sanctions because of its military aggression against Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. In the end, Yugoslavia was banned from taking part in any team sports, but individual Yugoslav athletes were allowed to compete as "independent Olympic participants". Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia-Herzegovina competed as separate nations for the first time.
RowingIn the men's coxed eights rowing final, Canada beat Romania by less than 30 centimetres -one of the closest rowing final in Olympic history.
AthleticsAnother close contest was the women's 100m sprint. Merlene Ottey (JAM) finished only six-hundredths of a second behind the winner, Gail Devers (USA), and yet she ended up in only fifth place.
The TruceThe International Olympic Committee (IOC) launched an appeal for the observance of the Olympic Truce for the first time.
Baseball is inBaseball, which had appeared as an exhibition or demonstration sport at six Olympic Games, finally achieves medal status.
During the 95th Session of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), held in Puerto Rico in 1989, it was decided that demonstration sports would be eliminated definitively from the 1996 Atlanta Games onwards.
Up until the 1992 Olympic Games (Barcelona and Albertville), the Organising Committees for the Olympic Games (OCOGs) could integrate demonstration sports into the Olympic programme. However, the organisation of these demonstrations created a lot of extra work for the OCOGs, which had to provide services that were almost identical to those for the sports on the Olympic programme.
New on the programmeBadminton and women's judo are also added to the Olympic programme.

The official emblem, designed by Josep Maria Trias from Barcelona, depicted a dynamic human figure in a stance that suggested someone jumping an obstacle (which consisted of the five Olympic rings) and the simple, gestual lines reduced the characterisation of the figure to the head (in the blue of the Mediterranean), the arms (the yellow of the sun and wide open in sign of hospitality) and the legs (a vivid red).
On the obverse, a medallion 56mm in diameter, superimposed on the medal and slightly off-centre, on which the image of the goddess of victory appeared, drawn in a Modernist style, together with the words "XXV Olimpíada Barcelona 1992". On the reverse the official emblem of the Barcelona Games. The medal was designed by the sculptor Xavier Corberó.
More info
The Organising Committee for the Barcelona Olympic Games developed a highly ambitious project, which involved 58 different posters grouped in four collections : the official Olympic posters, the painters' posters, the designers' posters and the photographic sports posters. For the four official sports posters and the eight painters' posters, in addition to the normal print run there was a limited edition in silk-screen and lithograph signed be the authors, which the Organising Committee used as prestige gifts for the VIPs who visited Barcelona. Here one of the official posters with the emblem created by Josep M. Trias.
COOB'92 was the first Organising Committee to offer an official report in four separate editions. Indeed, the "Official report of the Games of the XXV Olympiad Barcelona 1992" exists in French, English, Spanish and Catalan. Each edition consists of five volumes (The challenge; The means; The organisation; The Games; The results). Volume 5 was quadrilingual, so identical for each edition, and came with two diskettes containing the biographies of the Olympic medallists.

Believe it or not, those flare-ups of sensitivity and skin allergies that you dread are likely the fault of dryness. When the skin's oily, acid mantle becomes depleted, the skin loses the protective barrier that shields it from the effects of chemicals in makeup, pollutants in the environment and other allergens and irritants. Understanding that dryness is usually at the heart of sensitivity, Dr. Howard Sobel uses hydrating and soothing treatments for the condition at his New York City dermatology practice. By alleviating current irritation and restoring the skin's vital oily outer covering, Dr. Sobel has made allergies and hypersensitivity reactions a thing of the past for many people.
Now, you can use Dr. Sobel's DDF Sensitive Allergic collection to finally rid yourself of the redness, breakouts, flakiness, stinging and irritation that accompanies sensitivity and allergies. The formulas in the DDF Sensitive Allergic range deeply moisturize the skin while addressing symptoms of hypersensitivity, so that your skin begins to feel and look better right away. Over time, using the DDF Sensitive Allergic collection can completely prevent sensitivity flare-ups from occurring.
Reactive skin types are quite common and require a very specialized protocol for best results. DDF Sensitive Allergic formulates its products to be extra calming and soothing, reducing the symptoms of sensitive skin while avoiding further problems. DDF Sensitive Allergic offers a full range of daily products for the maintenance of reactive complexions.
All skins require moisture for balance and health. Sensitive types require a gentle hydrator that does not contain irritating ingredients. DDF Ultra Light Oil Free Moisturizing Dew is a lightweight, non-irritating moisturizer that is safe for all skin types. Even skin that is prone to breakouts can use DDF Ultra Light Oil Free Moisturizing Dew without the worries of clogged pores and pimples. Aloe vera is combined with grape seed oil and nourishing vitamins to condition skin and make it feel and look more comfortable. The fast absorbing product contains no fragrance.
The eye area also requires nourishing moisture in order to be healthy and balanced. Because the skin around the eyes can be especially delicate, it is even more important in sensitive types to eliminate the possibilities of a reaction while soothing and calming. DDF Nourishing Eye Cream hydrates and plump the skin while providing antioxidants from vitamins as well as green tea. The lightweight cream absorbs easily and provides hours of essential moisture.
Sensitive skin is often associated with redness. A red appearance on the face is frequently caused by fragile, compromised and broken capillaries. DDF Nutrient K Plus reinforces the capillary walls to minimize redness. Vitamin K is combined with natural extracts from horse chestnut, yarrow and green tea to add strength to fragile skin. DDF Nutrient K Plus should be used twice daily. It can also be used after cosmetic procedures to encourage healing and minimize the appearance of bruises.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The family of an Ohio State student who lost a leg when he was run over by a dump truck on campus is suing the university and others.
Freshman James Daniel Hughes was riding his bike to class on Sept. 5 when he was hit by a dump truck near the entrance to a construction site. The 18-year-old lost his right leg and suffered severe damage to his pelvis.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/VJHCKe ) reports that Hughes' family is suing Ohio State, the driver of the dump truck and 10 contractors hired by OSU. The action alleges that they failed to keep students safe.
OSU officials declined to talk about the lawsuit, other than to say that safety remains the highest priority on campus.

Fla. must offer insurance or pay $300m penalty
Published: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 3:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 3:14 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — The state of Florida could be on the hook for a $300 million penalty unless it makes major changes to the program that provides health insurance to state workers.
Florida has thousands of part-time workers who will qualify for health insurance next year under the federal health care overhaul.
State law currently prohibits the state from offering health insurance coverage to those workers.
Florida legislators will have to decide what to do during the upcoming 2013 session. It would cost more than $40 million a year to start providing health insurance to part-timers.
Rep. Richard Corcoran, R-Land O' Lakes, and chairman of a House panel reviewing the federal health care overhaul, said lawmakers could pay for the extra workers by raising premiums or changing benefits offered to full-time state workers.

Hi all,
we just upgraded to ZCS 8.0.2 (coming from 7.2.0). Now I dont find a way to allow a user to send a mail using a distribution list as From: address.
Back in ZCS 7 it was possible to set zimbraAllowFromAddress:
zmprov ma email@example.com +zimbraAllowFromAddress email@example.com
The user firstname.lastname@example.com could now create a new persona and use firstname.lastname@example.com as From:/Reply-To address. ZCS 8 disallows the use of
dl as zimbraAllowFromAddress:
ERROR: service.INVALID_REQUEST (invalid request: zimbraAllowFromAddress may not contain a distribution list: email@example.com)
In AdminUI I did not find a way to easily set up sendAs permissions (it is easy to set this permissons on accounts - but I dont find the trigger
for DLs). Can someone give exact steps as how this should be setup now? We definitely need this feature.

The following information will hopefully be helpful in preparation of your image submissions preparations for your certification. This information may change as the certification commission updates the policy. I will then keep this updated to be in alignment with those policy changes.
Selection of images: Oddly enough, the judges are not looking for PPA merit images. One of the most frustrating things for a candidate is to have a Master Photographer advise a candidate on some of the images and then have their images rejected. The main concept that the certification judges are looking for is whether the photographer knows what they are doing. That is, does the candidate demonstrate good technique in quality of light (direction and exposure), the surroundings around the subject (is the background too bright?) and composition (are the subjects too crowded at the top? Are they too centered?)
Weddings: Make sure that there is a good mixture of formals and candids. But to play it safe, formals are a better choice. If you have candid images that has control over mid-day "hot-spots" and you have good awareness of the surroundings around the subjects, by all means submit them. But, formals with controlled lighting situations are safer.
Portraits: Portrait are all about photographer control. Are you taking specific orders from the client, or are your clients hiring you for your expertise? We hope the later, because if you start doing works based on what your client saw elsewhere, you have to ask yourself "why did they hire you in the first place?". So, with this in mind, light direction and proper light ratio is a must. The judges want to know if you understand the fundamentals of lighting. Think in terms of what you studied for in the written exam. There is a reason why the test is designed to see if you know what "light ratios" and "inverse square law" are all about. Styles change about every 8 years, good lighting knowledge has not changed in the last, well can you say early 1800's? The purpose of certification is that you have a good knowledge of the various techniques to survive long term in this profession.
Team/Sport/events: Diversity is the key here. If they are action images, it is vitally important that your image tell a story. It has to be illustrative. What is the story behind to kids going after the ball? What is the coach telling the player in the dugout? How is the action composed with the onlooking players in the background? For team photos, how well did you select the location to take the images? Are the backgrounds too bright or distracting? Do the individual portraits look significantly different that the "high volume" team/school photographers?
Commercial/advertising: View camera knowledge is a must, even if you don't use one. When doing interiors or exterior architectural work, make sure your perspectives, lens distortions, and camera angles are correct (perpenicularity, etc.). Also, make sure your quality of light, color density and proper contrast is good. Commercial is such a technical area that failure in any of these aforementioned will cause rejections. For products, make sure the product is not "Floating in space". It should look like it is "grounded" to where the product is sitting. Light direction is also very important.
Illustrative/scenics: OK, this is a real "toughy". Probably the biggest rejections actually happen here. Very often the judges will see these absolutly beautiful scenic images, some look like PPA merit images, mixed in with portrait work. The scenics look so perfect that, many times the portrait work looks like two entirely different photographers did the work. Bottom line is to put as much, even more effort in perfecting your portrait, wedding, etc. images to where they merit at PPA as well. In other words, make sure your other work is "up to snuff" with your scenic work. Many candidates think the judges rejected their submissions even though some of the submissions have PPA loan images. Just know that the criteria is vastly different. The judges want to know if what you can deliver is the best possible product for your clients on any given day.
If 100% of your images are in this class (I'm still not sure why you would need certification for this), then for goodness sakes, don't purger yourself. If the judges see the purpose statement "Client hired me to photograph the eiffel tower" where you are actually sent, on the clients dime, to take the images, then you're good to go. But if the commission catches wind that you took a bunch of travel images and sold it to the client by a stroke of luck, well, not a good thing as this gets into all sorts of ethics violations if you are caught.
More Tips: Questions have come up regarding color and density variations from the judges comments of rejected submissions. The judges look first at a thumbnail set of the 20 images. Here, they can see images side by side, and can immediately spot images that are too blue, too dark, too bright, too, well, anything. Looking at all 20 images gives the judges that first impact about the images. "Am I looking forward to looking at the images individually", or, "Uh oh, I think there might be some problems with these". It is recommended that you look at all 20 of your images in either lightroom, or bridge. Also, pay attention to the order that you place the images. Leading, or ending with weak images are not a good idea.
Make your statement of purpose as concise as possible. Not a good idea to say "I had no choice, the client made me do it that way", or, "I purposefully wanted the trees to blast out the bidal couple in the foreground" (I'm not making this one up).
Special effects. Don't go crazy with them such as monotone images with the color of the roses painted back in, for example. The judges are all extremely experienced and they can tell if obvious flaws are being masked. You cannot save bad camera techniques in a majority of cases, so whatever you do, don't insult the judges intellegence. Which segues into this:
Black and whites. Some of the judges are known for their black and white work, and some have earned their Masters with this work. Black and white may seem easy to most photographers, but those who know, know that this is actually the hardest thing to master technically. If you don't know what you are doing with respect to details in the highlights and detail in the shadows, as well as understanding of d-max and density curves, it might be a good idea to not go there.
Finally (whew), Painter images. Make sure your non-painter images are up to snuff with your painter images. Like previously mentioned, if you have weak photography, all painter does is tell the judges that you need painter to salvage every thing that you do! Think like a painting master and learn to see the light from the get-go! The judges need to know what you can do with the camera first!
