EDIT 2012-04-26: I am making a new thread covering this same process but with Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS and Zimbra 7.2.0 OSE. This thread will remain as it is and I will continue to make updates but only for the 7.20 thread.
MODERATORS: Please do not delete this thread, it contains info related to this specific version which will not be covered in the new thread.
Greetings and salutations,
I hope this thread will be helpful to those who follow in my foot steps as well as getting any advice based on what I've done / documented. I am a documentation freak so this will probably grow into a very LARGE step-by-step process. If useful, it will probably be best to convert to a wiki once completed.
This is a Work-In-Progress topic so I will be updating this thread frequently as I go through this evaluation process. If my administration decides to go with a different solution, my evaluation (and continued documentation) will stop. But until then, I will continue updating my progress all the way to the last person that is converted and using the system.
High-level overview
This thread will cover installation of Ubuntu server inside a virtual machine vSphere 4.1 running on ESXi 4.1 servers. It will also cover the installation and configuration of Zimbra OSE and the Zimbra desktop client. This is a merge of several other guides, comments and my own experience of putting it all together in one place in a format that is easy for me to follow and reproduce the same results (yes, I create documentation that I will have to re-read one day because of my bad memory problems!). Please excuse my ignorance since I am fairly new to Linux and Zimbra.
Company background and environment
I am in the process of evaluating different mail options for my company. We are a small shop of about 200 employees and are currently using Microsoft Exchange 2003 on a physical server.
We are looking to either migrate the 2003 server into a virtual machine for vSphere or acquire the new Exchange 2007 and install into a VM or use an external host such as Google Apps or switch to a different mail system (like Zimbra, Mercury Mail or hMailServer). We are not fully utilizing Exchange features and are mainly using it for email, contacts, calendars and shared calendars (for scheduling meeting rooms). We use Active Directory (Windows 2003 domain) to manage users and distribution lists. The desktops are mainly Windows XP and some newer boxes are coming in with Windows 7. We are using Microsoft Outlook with personal folders since we have mailbox size restrictions of 200 MB per mailbox as well as the web interface for people that constantly move from desk-to-desk. iPhones and iPads are also being used as portable devices.
The email server will be sitting behind a firewall on our LAN. Here is a graphic representation of the network layout:
About the IT staff
We are primarily a Microsoft Windows shop and as such, most of us (3) have Microsoft certifications such as MCSE, MCDBA and MCP. None of us are Unix administrators but we are fairly competent in the use of the system from having to support an AIX server so we are comfortable in the VI editor but know very little in terms of Unix hardware and software administration (just basic user stuff, enough to be dangerous)
The evaluation and deployment process
I mentioned some of the aspects of Phase 1 and 2 in the section above. I won't go into detail about them mainly because they are very specific and diverse to each organization (and this topic is primarily about Ubuntu/Zimbra). So this topic is mainly covering Phase 3 and touch on some of the later phases as time allows. If my company goes with Zimbra, expect to see more info regarding the later phases.
- Phase 1 - Define the needs and goals for the project.
- Phase 2 - Collect information about various solutions and have a high-level overview of features, advantages and disadvantages.
- Phase 3 - Setup a hands-on demonstration on how the system will accomplish our goals and work in our environment (or a very good flowchart and screenshot presentation).
- Phase 4 - Setup a fully-functional system for testing, training and migration.
- Phase 5 - Create Backup / Restore process and documentation
- Phase 6 - Install client software on all devices
- Phase 7 - Create and deploy training materials (videos)
- Phase 8 - Migrate users to new system and setup email forwarding
- Phase 9 - Decommission old system
Tools utilized in this process
- Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS, 64-bit
- Zimbra OSE 7.1.3, 64-bit
- Zimbra Desktop Client 7.1.2
- Portable PuTTY 0.61
- VMware vSphere 4.1.0

Choosing Lighting for Your Garage
When it comes to choosing the best lighting for your garage it all comes down to your personal preferences and how you plan to use your garage. Whether you're building a new house with an attached or detached garage or just upgrading the one you have, your choice of lighting will influence how usable your will be and how much time you'll spend working in it. These three easy steps will help you select the right lighting for your garage.
- Consider how you plan to use your garage. Will you only be parking the family cars inside? Do you need a workshop or hobby area? Will the garage be sued for storage? Will you be parking the cars inside and storing the riding mower, the recycling bins and an ATV?
- Select general purpose lighting to illuminate all sections and the corners of your garage. Fluorescent light fixtures are a popular choice. They provide more than adequate general lighting and fairly common for use as general purpose lighting. Furthermore, they can be equally spaced across the span of your garage for the best illumination. If you have questions, about fluorescent lighting, check with your electrician and/or lighting professional.
- Consider the layout of your garage or workshop and create individual work stations or storage spaces within it. Choose task lighting for each specific purpose or designated space. Consider positioning an overhead light above a craft table. Select incandescent lighting options for closets and other small storage spaces. If you plan to have a workbench, choose track lighting or a fixture that fits neatly under an overhead cabinet to light up the work surface. Finally, purchase a drop light or trouble to illuminate dark and obscure spaces, such as under the hood of a car. A drop light is portable and can be use for all kinds of purposes within your garage and home.
After you've selected the lighting fixtures you need, hire a licensed electrician to install them according to local building and electrical codes.

We are not going to turn this into a political blog but this is something that I just feel is wrong and all wine (as well as beer and liquor) lovers need to help get defeated.
The basic premise of the bill as I understand it would essentially remove the ability of consumers to sue for direct shipments and would effectively eliminate direct shipping by allowing the states to regulate this again, much as they did before Granholm v. Heald.
Of course this bill has huge support from the wholesaler's, because if direct shipping is banned then they once again control the flow from the wineries to the distributors and ultimately to you. This will of course negatively impact smaller wineries by not being able to get their product out to a wider audience and it will impact you by limiting your choice to whatever the wholesalers decide should be in your market. And the fact that the wholesalers do not sell directly to the consumer completely negates their argument that they are preventing the sale of wine and spirits to underage drinkers. C'mon... give me a break!
Anyway, I am really worked up about this and I hope that you are too. Read more about this bill on Steve Heimoff's blog, the actual bill being discussed and this article on Fermentation - The Daily Wine Blog and then call and write to your representatives in congress and urge them to vote against this bill (You can find them here).
I am off my soapbox now :-)
Don't worry... we are still here and still tasting. Unfortunately it has been a very busy couple of weeks and the next 10 days or so prove to be as much so if not more.
We'll be getting some posts back in the pipeline by the end of next week. One in particular that is close to being ready is a 2000 Chateau Rauzan-Segla.

WALL-E Synopsis
WALL-E stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifters -- Earth Class, and the film is about a future in which Earth has become so overrun by trash that its uninhabitable for humans. 700 years before the movie takes place, the entire human race lives in an orbiting space ship, and sends robots down to the planet to clean it up. Flash to the present, and the project has failed. Only one robot is left on Earth still at work cleaning the place, and his name is WALL-E. WALL-E, a robot, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will discover what he was meant for.
Its a testament to the amount of faith Disney must have in the newly acquired guys of Pixar that theyre letting them actually make and release this movie. Not because its about robots. If last summers Transformers box office has taught us anything, its that robots are an easy sell. Once they graduate from dinosaurs, every little kid wants his own robot, and WALL-E is just the right size to feed those pre-adolescent robot fantasies. Robots are no risk, but making a silent movie definitely is.
Pixar is proud of it, and theyve been pretty open about describing WALL-E as a space-set remake of a 1931 Charlie Chaplin film about a blind girl wooed by a tramp she mistakenly believes is a rich man. Thats right, this little robot is a stand in for Chaplin, and rumor has it that a good portion of the film will be almost entirely silent, except for whatever bleeps and boops a humble robot might make alone on an abandoned, garbage dump planet.
Will audiences be able to handle it? At this point does Pixar even care? Theyre on a roll which is almost unprecedented in the history of Hollywood, with an unbroken string of both critical and financial hits. Pixar can afford to lose money on one, quirky little art project. If thats what WALL-E is, Im sure the industry will get over it, eager to cash in on whatever their next brilliant idea is.
Ultimately though, taking risks like this is what has made Pixar what it is. Theyve always taken chances, pushed the envelope, and its paid off. Unlike almost everyone else whos making family oriented movies, theyre never content to stick with a formula, or shove out a movie full of princesses and singing just because they know kids will shell out money to see it. WALL-E is just another extension of that philosophy, that refusal to conform, that determination to drive for innovation which, hey was once embodied by the Walt Disney run Disney company. Maybe thats why Disney bought them out, and then handed the keys to the Magic Kingdom over to Pixars executives. Pixar is making more than movies, theyre making magic. WALL-E, perhaps more than any of their other recent instant classics, is a symbol of their dare to be different philosophy, and its bound to be sprinkled with plenty of Pixar fairy dust.

USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service will reduce its footprint from 43 state offices across the country to 12 regional locations which will create significant savings. Through the efforts to-date, the agency is projected to save more than $700,000 in annual real estate costs.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will use GSA's Total Workplace to improve space efficiencies, reduce the agency's footprint, and save the federal government more than $15 million in real estate costs over a ten year lease at their office in Seattle, Washington..
Increased teleworking at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a reduction of rented space with subleasing, and the adoption of desk sharing, has allowed the agency to begin reducing its real estate footprint, resulting in a projected savings of $55 million in office real estate costs.
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is working with GSA's Total Workplace to eliminate 72,200 square feet by consolidating three buildings in Northern Virginia, and saving taxpayers more than $3 million in annual real estate costs..
See how GSA's Heartland Region cut their square footage by 42 percent.

I think I might have discovered a security hole in Zimbra 8.0.2 but I'm not sure how to validate it...
When a user is set to global admin spammers seem to be able to relay spam using zmpost WITHOUT a password. The logs show sasl_method=LOGIN successes but I don't think auth is really happening. I've tried changing the password to a strong 20+ character passwords that has never been used before and literally seconds later spammers are still using the account. There is no way they could brute force it that fast. If I change the password back to the original and disable the global admin on the account it completely stops. I see spammers attempting to use the account repeatedly but auth fails and locks the account at that point. Some details on my setup:
My mail server sits behind a firewall on a private IP and I forward ports 25/143/587/993 to it only. Webmail is forwarded via apache's proxypass.
I require TLS auth to relay mail. The accounts in question use unique strong passwords that exist only for email and are NOT being used for other web accounts.
My admin interface is only available locally, not to the general internet.
I've run zimbra for ~6 years like this with absolutely no issues until upgrading to 8.0.2. It's happened twice since them. Both times it took a few days after adding global admin to a user before spammers found the accounts and started using them. I currently have one global admin setup on a dedicated account with a fake internal only domain. That should be a lot harder for them to figure out but myself and everyone else is in no way safe if this is in fact going on.
Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas how this might be happening if it's not an exploit? Ideas on how to debug this without allowing spammer to relay mail through me and watching?

|A Boeing Dreamliner landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport in March. (Photo/Brian Losito/Air Canada)
Published Jan. 17, 2013
European and American aviation regulators have grounded the Boeing 787 Dreamliner because of concerns over fires involving the airplane's lithium batteries.
The Federal Aviation Administration issued its airworthiness directive Wednesday, and the European Aviation Safety Agency followed suit today.
Two recent incidents involving the 787's lithium battery prompted the emergency directive.
On Wednesday, All Nippon Airways grounded its 787 fleet following an emergency landing in Japan of one of its Dreamliners, canceling 35 flights and using other jets for another 31 flights.
Before the emergency landing, the ANA flight crew received several messages about the plane's battery and other systems, and crew members reported an odor in the cockpit and cabin, according to initial reports from the National Transportation Safety Board, which sent an investigator to Japan. After the airplane landed, crew and passengers evacuated down its emergency slides.
The second incident happened Jan. 7 aboard a Japan Airlines 787 at Logan International Airport in Boston.
After passengers and crew disembarked, maintenance and cleaning personnel found smoke in the cabin and called firefighters, who put out the fire about 40 minutes after arriving on scene. One firefighter had minor injuries, according to the National Transportation Safety Board, which sent investigators to Boston.
Boeing Co. employees in Washington state assembled both 787s involved.
In its airworthiness directive, the FAA said the cause of the failures is being investigated.
"These conditions, if not corrected, could result in damage to critical systems and structures and the potential for fire in the electrical compartment," according to the directive. "We evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop in other parts of the same type design."
Boeing CEO Jim McNerney released a statement after the FAA issued the directive, saying passenger and crew safety is the company's priority.
"Boeing is committed to supporting the FAA and finding answers as quickly as possible," he said. "The company is working around the clock with its customers and the various regulatory and investigative authorities. We are confident the 787 is safe, and we stand behind its overall integrity. We will be taking every necessary step in the coming days to assure our customers and the traveling public of the 787's safety and to return the airplanes to service."

"This is the best project I've ever been involved in in my whole career" – Baaba Maal
"Making music in Mali with Africa Express was amazing, humbling, life changing experience, a time in my life I will never forget. I'm just so happy I went with my gut extinct and got involved. Being on the album is just an added bonus really" – Ghostpoet
'The Africa Express was one of the most worthwhile and enjoyable projects I have ever been involved in… A true reminder of why I started playing music in the first place… I'd do it again in a heartbeat." – Carl Barat (The Libertines)
"Africa and its' friends were there on the train around the UK, the music was beautiful, the audience amazed..! I was elated by this extraordinary and unique adventure, which also happened to be an opportunity for me to spend time with artists that I love and I do not often get to see. I thank all the organizers for their concern about our comfort and our serenity. I miss you all!" – Rokia Traore
"I was a pleasure for me to live through this train experience. Never has a train been so musical. I loved the sense of togetherness and complicity between the artists, and I also really appreciated the 'pop ups' when I had the opportunity to play in hospitals and schools. Africa Express is magical every time. Thanks to everyone." – Amadou Bagayoko (Amadou & Mariam)

Up front: May 2012
Spring cleaning
In case you havent noticed, weve redesigned our website, www.BusinessNC.com. We like its new look, and from the response so far, so do our visitors. We started the process about a year ago. The goal: a cleaner design that was easier to navigate. Unlike a lot of businesses, we didnt have to worry about content not with 30 years worth of stories about, data on and analysis of the states economy. The problem was how it was organized.
We generated so much that it couldnt all go on the old site, even the contents of current issues, not to mention past ones. And what we did put up often was hard to find. Frankly, our website resembled that closet in which you pile everything you cant find a proper place for. But instead of old board games, fishing rods and tennis rackets, ours had past profiles of top business and political leaders, lists of the largest this and that and the kind of in-depth features found nowhere else. All of it was valuable stuff (as is, of course, the contents of your closet) but difficult to access (like the singing Big Mouth Billy Bass stashed behind the velvet Elvis in mine).
When we did our last redesign five years ago, we were convinced that the site shouldnt be simply a rehash of what was in the monthly magazine, republishing what had appeared in ink on paper in electronic form. So the home page focused on the Daily Digest, our morning roundup of top business stories from across the state. Though that proved very popular, we discovered that many visitors some knowing nothing about the magazine were extremely interested in its content, which is what drew them to the site in the first place. They were willing to spend the time and effort to dig into the archives, no easy task with our previous design.
What weve come up with is a combination of the two: more content from the magazine, presented in a form that is easier to navigate, and more news. (With more coming. More about that in the months ahead.) One way weve integrated those two goals is by hiring Erin Dunn. As associate editor of the monthly magazine, she plays a key role in shaping the print product, and as online editor, she is in charge of what appears on our website and other electronic media. Before dawn each weekday, she aggregates stories from news sources across the state for the Daily Digest, which she posts on the site and emails to subscribers. (To get it, go to BusinessNC.com and sign up. Its free.) We want to make the website just as engaging and informative as the magazine, Erin says, but present our content in a different way because online is a totally different platform.
Were doing different things in different ways but hewing to a course set long ago. As my dad, Business North Carolinas editor for 25 years now, once wrote, We do what nobody else does cover one very special place, this state, and its economy, which is as diverse as the people who call it home. As part of our spring cleaning, weve sharpened our tools so we can do that job for you that much better.

A college student apparently unaware of Kurt Cobain's 1994 death sent a letter to Sub Pop, Nirvana's one-time record label, asking if the band would be so kind as to record a Homecoming Week message for her school.
Nirvana broke up after Cobain's suicide nearly two decades ago.
In the letter that's gone viral on the web, the student identifies herself as Virginia Tech's mascot and a candidate for homecoming queen. The message, she believes would improve her chances of winning.
The student refers to Nirvana as "her," the unnamed student assures the band that a video would be beneficial to all involved.
"It presents great publicity for them, and as Virginia Tech loves Nirvana, we'd love to have her in our video," she writes. "They would be one among artists including Big N Rich, Ying Yang Twins, the Cataracs, Slightly Stoopid, and three famous NFL Players."
She even recommends the following message: "What's up Virginia Tech? This is Nirvana! Just wanted to wish you guys a Happy Homecoming Week and good luck at the game this Saturday. LETS GO HOKIES!"
It's not clear yet whether or not the letter is a joke.
Sub Pop Tweeted in response: "This person could just be pulling an elaborate ruse on us — the joke tables could very well turn."
The label obliged and created a video for the student anyway.
@markzero This person could just be pulling an elaborate ruse on us–the joke tables could very well turn.

Life Extension Update
June 20, 2008
A study conducted by Dean Ornish, MD, of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California, along with researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, found that lifestyle improvements have a beneficial effect on gene expression in men with prostate cancer. The finding was reported in the June 17, 2008 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The investigation involved 30 participants in the Gene Expression Modulation by Intervention with Nutrition and Lifestyle (GEMINAL) study of men with low-risk prostate cancer. For reasons not related to the study, the men had opted for active surveillance of their disease in lieu of surgery or radiation treatment. For a three month period, participants were ask to limit dietary fat to 10 percent of daily calorie intake, adopt a whole food, plant-based diet, engage in 30 minutes per day of walking for six days per week, and practice stress management in the form of stretching, breathing, meditation, imagery and relaxation for 60 minutes per day in addition to a one hour per week group session. Diets were supplemented daily with tofu (from soy), soy protein, 3 grams fish oil, 200 micrograms selenium, 2 grams vitamin C and 100 international units vitamin E. Cardiovascular disease risk factors, including weight, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, lipids, and C-reactive protein, were measured before and after the intervention.
Gene expression in initial prostate biopsies was compared with prostate tissue samples obtained after three months of the lifestyle changes. Forty-eight genes, including those that have disease-preventive effects, were found to be up-regulated, and 453 genes, including oncogenes involved in breast and prostate cancer and other disease-promoting genes, were down-regulated following the intervention. Body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, lipids and waist circumference significantly improved. Benefits of the regimen were also observable in the participants' mental health-related quality of life and levels of cancer-associated mental distress.
"Intensive nutrition and lifestyle changes may modulate gene expression in the prostate," the authors conclude. "Understanding the prostate molecular response to comprehensive lifestyle changes may strengthen efforts to develop effective prevention and treatment. Larger clinical trials are warranted to confirm the results of this pilot study."
Out of every 100 men diagnosed with prostate cancer (PC), approximately 5 will have hereditary PC (HPC). HPC is presently defined by any one of the following three criteria:
It is not surprising that the incidence of hereditary breast cancer is also about 5% of the total population of breast cancer patients--the same incidence as that of HPC.
HPC is transmitted by a gene from father to son and from father to daughter and then to her son. When HPC is present, nearly half the male offspring will have PC, and many of these will develop PC before age 55. In fact, HPC accounts for approximately 43% of PC diagnosed before the age of 55 years.
Since the transmission of the gene may also occur from father to daughter and then to her son, a sound medical history includes information about the health of the maternal grandfather as well as maternal uncles and maternal cousins regarding any history of PC. Studies of PC within families show a stronger familial inheritance pattern than colon or breast cancer.
It should also be emphasized that men with a history of breast cancer (BC) in their family are also at greater risk for developing PC, just as women with a family history of PC are at greater risk for developing BC.

So, you want to be a motorcycle racer? You've come to the right place.
AMA-sanctioned motorcycle racing is the most exciting, accessible and affordable motorsport in the world. Every weekend at AMA Racing events across America, thousands of racers of all ages and skill levels, ranging from beginners to experts, face off in a number of disciplines on both modern and non-current, or vintage, motorcycles.
Getting started is quick and easy. Assuming you have the right bike (and a way to get to the track), you're almost there.
Motorcycle racing has always been a family sport, and it attracts competitors of all ages. In addition to the fun, kids can learn a lot from getting involved in active competition. Check out this article for more tips on getting your kid started right. Getting serious? Then maybe it's time to think about sponsorship and getting exposure in local media outlets, such as your hometown newspaper.
For a closer look at the types of motorcycle racing sanctioned by the AMA, check out the list below:
Expand all
Collapse all
Motocross is the most popular form of amateur motorcycle racing in the United States, and with classes
for machines from 50cc to more than 450cc, and riders age 4 to 50-plus, it's a sport
for the whole family.
Motocross races are run over natural- and man-made terrain courses with hills, jumps and tight
turns, typically with two races — or motos — in each class. A combined score from each moto is calculated to determine the overall placing. Recognized as one of the
most strenuous sports in the world, it is also one of the most fun.
Each year, the best amateurs in the country compete for a spot in the prestigious AMA Youth and Amateur National Championships at the Loretta Lynn Ranch
in Tennessee. Just about every pro motocrosser in the United States passed through
the Loretta Lynn Ranch on the way to the big time.
Enduros are one of the oldest forms of motorcycle competition. Run on a challenging route that includes wooded and desert terrain, more difficult "test" sections are typically connected with roads, fire roads or easy two-track trail. Enduros can vary greatly across the country, but one thing is certain everywhere: They are one of the most enjoyable, thrilling and fulfilling forms of motorsports competition.
Small rows of riders — generally three to five a row — are flagged off in one-minute intervals. These riders may be in your class, but they are more likely not. Your race is against the clock. Aided by a route sheet that includes mileage, turn and time information, you follow a marked course. Scores are collected at checkpoints along the way. Once all riders have finished, scores are compiled and class results are posted.
In general, there are two types of scoring methods for enduros. Traditional enduros penalize riders for arriving early or late to a check. However, only the very best riders are at risk of going too fast — called "burning a check" — in most sections. Most riders only have to watch their speed during the road or easy trail transfer sections. Start-control enduros only penalize riders for arriving late to a check. At start-control enduros, riders do not have to gauge their speed during transfer sections and can arrive early. Then they wait at the check until it's time for their row to begin the next section.
The discipline's top riders compete in the AMA Racing Rekluse National Enduro Championship
One of the most traditional forms of motorcycle competition in the U.S., dirt-track racing grew from the age when riders would compete on county fair horse tracks groomed to deliver a hard-packed surface.
Riders compete in four different types of events: oval short-track, half-mile and mile tracks, and TT courses, which feature at least one right turn and a jump. Dirt-track bikes include both traditional dirt-trackers (sometimes called "framers" because of their custom-built frames) and DTX bikes, which are converted motocross or off-road motorcycles. Due to the few modifications required off the showroom — generally, wheels, tires and suspension — DTX bikes have become extremely popular in the last decade.
Each summer, the AMA sanctions the Dirt Track Grand Championships and presents the AMA Racing Dirt Track Horizon Award to the most promising rider on the verge of a professional racing career.
Hare scrambles are woods races. Unlike an enduro, all riders in a single class start on the same row, and the event is an all-out race to the finish. They are conducted on long, marked-loop courses through woods or desert and over rugged natural terrain. The racers keep doing laps on the course until the leader either completes a pre-determined number of laps or has raced for a pre-determined amount of time, usually 2 hours. Competitive riders not only need to be fast, but also physically fit enough to maintain a race pace for hours.
Hare scrambles can include tight woods, big hills and field sections. Although similar, in general they are more open than a typical enduro.
The AMA West and East Region Hare Scrambles Championship Series have grown to be some of the top off-road racing series in the country.
Roadrace events, run on paved closed-course circuits across the country, are where you'll find the latest generation of sportbikes being stretched to the limit. Although the top classes circulate the courses at enormous speeds, there are also classes for riders on less-powerful machines.
The annual AMA Racing Roadrace Grand Championships, held each summer at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, draw top club-level riders from across the country. The best goes home with the AMA Racing Roadrace Horizon Award.
Hillclimbs are essentially one-person drag races up the face of a challenging hill,
with each rider allowed at least two attempts to conquer the hill. The winner is
the rider who climbs the hill the quickest or, if no one reaches the top, makes
it the farthest.
Some hills are speed hills, where most riders make it to the top and speed determines the winner. Other hills are super-challenging distance hills, where few riders might crest the summit and the length a rider makes it up the hill determines where he or she places.
The best amateur riders in the country compete every year in the AMA Racing Hillclimb
Grand Championships.
When nobody else is riding, some motorcyclists go racing. Ice racing looks like
an oval dirt-track race, except it's run on ice. Racers modify a variety of machines
to run on frozen lakes and ponds using off-road tires, often studded with hundreds
of sheet-metal screws.
The best compete at the AMA Racing Ice Race Grand Championships
every winter.
Observed trials put no premium on
speed whatsoever. The winner is simply the most skilled, graceful and (sometimes) luckiest rider on a particular course.
Observed trials competitors must negotiate individual sections of extremely difficult
terrain without putting their feet down. Penalty points are assessed for mistakes,
and the rider with the lowest overall score at the end of the day wins.
Some sections are so difficult, it's hard to imagine a mountain goat traversing
them, much less a rider on two wheels. The top rung of the sport in the United States is the AMA/NATC
National Observed Trials Championships.
Hare & hound races are often referred to as desert races because of their popularity
in the Southwest. Riders race over a natural terrain course at least 40 miles long
and pass through a series of checkpoints. But unlike an enduro, hare & hound races are similar to hare scrambles events in that they are an all-out
race featuring a mass start.
The top tier of the sport is the AMA Racing Kenda National Hare & Hound Championship Series.
Motocross racing goes indoors in Arenacross, with tight courses set up inside arenas
and other venues across the country. The tighter indoor tracks tend to put a premium
on technique and finesse, as well as fitness.
The AMA Racing Arenacross Championship Series crowns champions in a number of skill- and age-based classes, including Pro-Am classes.
In supermoto, racers typically ride modified motocross bikes fitted with road-race-type
tires. They race on courses that are part asphalt and part dirt, often with jumps
and other motocross-type obstacles.
Supermoto draws racers from many disciplines and puts a premium on all-around skill
on a motorcycle.
Endurocross is one of the wildest sports on two wheels. It takes the race format of motocross and combines it with the challenging obstacles of an enduro, all packed into the tight confines of a fan-friendly stadium setting. Riders have to race over rock beds, through water crossings, over tractor tires and across telephone poles.
If top speed and massive acceleration are what you crave, drag racing should satisfy
your appetite. It's all about getting down a paved quarter-mile track fastest,
whether you're racing the clock or another competitor lined up alongside.
Classes are divided by engine displacement and the level of performance modifications
Land-speed trials are all about going faster than anyone has gone before, typically
on miles-long courses over perfectly level terrain like the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Classes are determined by engine displacement, modification levels and various degrees
of streamlining, and encompass everything from small-displacement racers to high-powered,
custom-built streamliners made for the sole purpose of topping 300 mph.
Using lightweight, single-gear bikes built solely for this type of competition,
racers battle handlebar-to-handlebar on ultra-short oval dirt tracks typically a
quarter-mile in length or less. Races typically last four laps, putting a premium
on good starts, and the ability to slide the rear of the bike all around the oval.
In addition to modern classes, vintage racing is a popular (and growing)
segment of motorcycle competition. Vintage racing is all about bringing
back the past. Racers compete on dated machinery, ranging from bikes
nearly a century old to machines that went on the market just prior to
the modern era. Vintage racing is most popular in motocross, hare
scrambles, trials, roadracing and dirt track. The country's top vintage
meet, which includes competition in all these disciplines, is the AMA
Racing Vintage Grand Championships held every summer as part of AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days.

(Washington) - Members of the Helsinki Commission called on President George W. Bush to raise the longstanding issue of property compensation/restitution with Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski in their January 26 meeting in Washington.
"Two years ago, President Kwasniewski, joined by Foreign Minister Wlodzimierz Cimosiewicz, assured me and other congressional leaders that Poland would have a law on property restitution or compensation ready by early 2003," said United States Helsinki Commission Chairman Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ) today. "Unfortunately, Prime Minister Leszek Miller's government, like others before it, continues to place this issue on the back burner. I again urge President Bush to raise this issue with his Polish counterpart during their upcoming White House meeting, consistent with the administration's stated policy".
"Property restitution or compensation is an important matter for thousands of people who fled to the United States from Poland because of religious, ethnic or political persecution during World War II or the communist period," added Helsinki Commission Co-Chairman Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-CO). "It is regrettable that this issue continues to cast a shadow on relations between Poland and the United States which, in virtually every other respect, are outstanding. The clock continues to tick for aged claimants – time is critical for an equitable resolution of this longstanding issue."
Ranking Commission Member Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD) observed, "Members of the Helsinki Commission met with Polish officials in Warsaw last October to underscore our concern. While we appreciate the complex challenges presented by this issue, I am both frustrated and disappointed by Poland's repeated delays in adopting a law. As we said to President Kwasniewski one year ago, 'every day counts.'"
A central element of Nazi and communist persecution in Central and Eastern Europe was the uncompensated confiscation of real and personal property from individuals and religious communities. The United States Helsinki Commission advocates the return or compensation of such properties.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission, created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives and one official each from the Departments of State, Defense, and Commerce.

good fin and excellent buckle system. I personally dont like big paddle fins and bought these as backups. I usually use Force fins and these feel a lot different. Those folks who like a big paddle fin will love these. I compared them to the superchannel Mares fins and find these stiffer. I am considering cutting out the central rubber gusset to make a pair of "splits " out of them. As they are now , they are too stiff and "draggy" in the water for my current preference.

I like this product so far. Havent used underwatrer yet but it has the power to handle console out of water. Best feature is it is strap mounted. That way, you dont have something dangling with another thing dangling off of it. The purpose of a retractor is to control attached items. The strap mount controls the retractor well.

excellent boots. If you have wide feet, order larger size. I have size 11 feet, the 12 fit well. stiffer on bottom makes it feel more like a shoe. I have only tried in pool but think they will be great. The neoprene is really stretchy and comfortable.

American Sociological Association: Statement by the Council of the American Sociological Association on the
Statement by the Council of the American Sociological Association on
the Reauthorization of the Institute of Education Sciences
March 1, 2012
The Council of the American Sociological Association (ASA) unanimously endorses the 2011 American Educational Research Association's (AERA) Report and Recommendations for the Reauthorization of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) and emphasizes the particular importance of two recommendations to the social science community. They are: reestablishing the independence and autonomy of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and ensuring that IES has the ability to determine the appropriate research design and methods for its studies through the process of scientific peer review.
The AERA report groups its sixteen recommendations into six broad areas related to the reauthorization of IES. They may be summarized as follows:
In endorsing these recommendations, ASA is especially focused on two of them. First, the independence and autonomy of NCES within IES is absolutely essential for NCES to fulfill its core mission. These structural characteristics are found in all fully effective federal statistical agencies. Second, ensuring that IES has the power to determine the appropriate research design and methods for its studies using the universally recognized process of scientific peer review is also absolutely essential to producing the valid, reliable and informed science-based knowledge needed by the policy and practice communities. To specify in a federal agency's chartering documents what scientific methods are appropriate for its research undermines that agency's capacity to conduct its scientific work effectively by restricting scientists' ability to draw upon the wide range of tested, rigorous research tools and study designs that are available to researchers.
As a scientific society, the ASA has a keen interest in the organization and performance of federal research and statistical agencies. On behalf of its more than 14,000 members, ASA monitors proposals related to the structure and operation of these agencies, especially proposals that may affect their independence, transparency, and scientific leadership. The organizational integrity of such agencies directly affects the ability of sociologists and other social scientists to contribute meaningful high quality research to on-going policy and practice discourse.
In endorsing the AERA report, ASA reaffirms its long-standing commitment to work to ensure that federal statistical and research agencies are independent and that they are led by people with relevant scientific expertise who have the full scientific toolbox at their disposal. ASA believes that significantly enhancing the range, rigor, and openness of research and statistics on educational institutions and the processes of teaching and learning will benefit our society's reach for educational and scientific excellence.
As part of its endorsement of the Report and Recommendations for the Reauthorization of the Institute of Education Sciences, ASA calls upon Congress to enact reauthorizing legislation that will give IES the firm scientific and financial infrastructure it needs to advance the nation's response to current and future educational challenges.

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- Michael Snider of Stone Mountain was indicted on Wednesday for a series of hit and runs, and a death that happened in January.
RELATED | String of hit and runs ends in fatal crash
According to the indictment from the Gwinnett County District Attorney's Office, charged Snider on 29 counts including felony murder, property damage, vehicular homicide, DUI, reckless driving and failure to stop at the accident scene.
The 70-year-old suspect made his first appearance before a Gwinnett County Magistrate Judge was on Thursday, January 24. That hearing was expedited because of Snider's age and health concerns.


text: What are your thoughts on the current anger expressed toward BP and the oil industry? I have my own opinions, but they're possibly tainted by not living near the spill -hence I'm not really qualified to speak on it. Instead I want to know what you think. Are you in or near one of the affected spill areas? What are your opinions on the issue? Can BP regain the trust of the American people and is it doing enough to clean up the spill? Is it an unaccountable display of anti-British sentiment or a justifiable anger at an oil company that put profits above environmental considerations? Will the Gulf of Mexico ever be the same? Have your say!
