WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Caring for a parent costs a lot of money and time, not to mention the high emotional and physical toll of becoming a caretaker.
AARP estimates that family caregivers spend an average of $5500 a year, taking care of an elderly parent. Experts say the best way to overcome some of these obstacles is to ask for help from your siblings.
They have some advice:
You should know that you are not alone in this situation. Pew Research finds that nearly 40 percent of American adults are caring for someone with a significant health issue. That's up from 30 percent just 3 years ago.
The financial impact can be particularly hard on women. MetLife reports that female caregivers, who leave a job to care for a parent, will lose an average of $324,000 in wages, Social Security and pension benefits over a lifetime.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WUSA9) -- A survivor of the rare and deadly bacterial form of meningitis is calling for vaccinations of all US college students after a new vaccine was introduced this week in response to an outbreak at Princeton University.
The European vaccine Bexsero has not been approved for use in the US, but federal officials have granted a waiver only for the Princeton outbreak.
"If it's safe enough for Princeton, then why are we not making it available to college students across the country?, asked Andy Marso a journalist and author who survived meningitis-B when he was stricken in 2004 while a student at the University of Kansas.
Marso nearly died and lost parts of all four limbs after his bout with the rare infection.
"You could go and get that shot today and it could potentially prevent what happened to me from happening to you," Marso said.
Marso, a Kansas-based journalist, has written a new memoir about his experience called 'Worth the Pain'.
Until now, there has been no vaccine that specifically targets meningitis-B, a rarer and more deadly form of the disease in the U.S. Typically it kills between 800 and 1500 people per year.
College students are particularly vulnerable because they live and eat in close quarters.

Really surprised Jaclyn Smith isn't on this list. For someone who's 62 she's absolutely gorgeous - and I've said that to my wife's face (and she agrees)

Born: 02/12/1980
Birth Place: Santa Monica, California, USA
Christina Ricci was born on Feb. 12, 1980, in Santa Monica, CA but raised mainly in the liberal upper middle class town of Montclair, NJ. Her mother was a former Ford model-turned-real estate agent, while her father was a psychiatrist. He specialized in experimental "scream therapy," which involved regular shrieks of terror emanating from his in-home practice. This environment might have contributed to the young girl's unusually guarded, despondent demeanor. Whatever the source of her unsettling mature vibe, it was obviously apparent to a local theater critic who approached her after a performance in a school play and suggested some avenues for the eight-year-old to get into the professional...

Ashton Kutcher And Demi Moore FINALLY Reach Divorce Agreement
by Daily Dish
posted Nov 1 2013 7:38AM
It took them long enough! Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have FINALLY signed their divorce agreement! At first my sources were telling me that the two were about to file paperwork with the court that would formally end their marriage, which happened two years ago! The process was stalled because Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore's lawyers were dealing with LENGTHY negotiations about the financial settlement. Specifically, what was being determined was just how much Ashton Kutcher would owe Demi Moore from their marriage. And guess what? Demi Moore won't get any spousal support! It was reported that Demi Moore initially wanted money from her ex-husband since he cheated on her, but California laws offer a "no fault" argument against her claims. In the settlement, I'm being told that Ashton Kutcher was very generous when it came to splitting their property. Both Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are apparently "satisfied" though with their settlement!
This sounds like it's going to be one interesting night on SNL! Lady Gaga will make her hosting debut on the November 16
episode of
Saturday Night Live
. Lady Gaga has appeared on the show two times before as a musical guest, but this will be her first time acting as the host for
. It's been rumored for months that Lady Gaga would give hosting a try. She'll also be performing songs from her new album
. Also announced,
Hunger Games
star Josh Hutcherson will make his hosting debut on
on November 23rd, which just so happens to be the day after the highly-anticipated
Hunger Games
Catching Fire
is released in theaters. Bringing in the big guns!
Speaking of big guns, Tina Fey, the Emmy-award winning creator of
30 Rock
, will create a comedy with producing partner Robert Carlock for NBC! The 13-episode show, staring
The Office
's Ellie Kemper, will focus on a woman building a life in New York City after escaping from a doomsday cult. It's expected to air in the fall of 2014. Tina Fey and Robert Carlock will write together and produce the show! I'm sure that it will have Tina Fey's clever writing!
Orlando Bloom is breaking his silence on ending his marriage with Miranda Kerr! Even though the marriage is over, the story is far from done! Orlando Bloom told Katie Couric that he and Miranda Kerr will be linked together forever, not as husband and wife but as mom and dad to their 2-year-old son, Flynn. He said, "We love each other. We're a family. We're going to be in each other's lives for the rest of our lives. There's no question that, you know, for the sake of our son and everything else, we're going to support one another and love each other as parents to Flynn. You know, life sometimes doesn't work out exactly as we plan or hope for, but fortunately, we're both adults, and we're professionals, and we love and care about each other. And we, most of all, love our son." The couple married in July 2010. They have been amicably separated for the past few months and recently decided to formalize their separation. At least Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr are finding the positives in the situation!
Well isn't this interesting! Looks like the Twilight lovers are getting back together! Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were spotted in Los Angeles meeting up together secretly, or at least TRYING to! The paparazzi found out that they were together and Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart TRIED to make a quick getaway into their own cars. But, too late! They were caught and the paparazzi managed to get a picture of them together in their own cars driving behind one another! Something's fishy! Are they trying to become friends again, or are Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart potentially getting back together? So many questions! When we know, we'll let YOU know!
Kim Kardashian may be used to living her life on camera but not everything is meant to be out in the open for the public to see! Among them? Kanye West's marriage proposal to her! So now, the reality star and her fiance are suing YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley for allegedly leaking video of the romantic moment! According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West claim in the lawsuit that Chad Hurley schemed to post the video of the proposal on his new site, MixBit. They also allege that he wasn't invited to the celebration at AT&T Park but somehow found a way in anyway. Chad Hurley signed a confidentiality agreement, which he reportedly broke by posting the video of the proposal on MixBit and then tweeting it out to his followers. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are suing for unspecified damages. The lawsuit doesn't say how much the video is worth, but I can only imagine!
This is coo-coo! Katy Perry is claiming that she had dinner with Mick Jagger when she was 18 and singing back-up for his solo project… oh and that the rock legend hit on her! Well, I guess Mick Jagger didn't like that because he pulled the silliest move ever, denying that he flirted with the young and sexy Katy Perry! He even took the time to release a statement saying that he "categorically denies" making a pass at Katy Perry, adding that "perhaps she is confusing him with someone else." Come on Mick Jagger! Denying that you hit on Katy Perry? What are you thinking?! THAT'S NOT A BAD THING!

Escondido student wins spelling bee
Giabao Tonthat, the oldest of five children born to a Vietnamese couple who learned English as a second language, won the 44th annual U-T San Diego Countywide Spelling Bee on Wednesday.
And he did it with determined independence.
"I study on my own and learn more on my own. My mom told me she wanted me to get a coach, but I told her, 'I can win the bee on my own,'" said Giabao, 13, an Escondido resident who attends Heritage K-8 Charter School and likes to read dictionaries to improve his vocabulary.
As the regional champion, he will get to participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., from May 28-30. Last year's winner of that competition was Snigdha Nandipati of San Diego, who had captured the countywide title in 2011 and 2012.
Giabao said he became interested in spelling bees after seeing the 2011 championship on television.
"I watched how they were spelling super hard words and I told myself, 'One day I'm going to be on that stage,'" he said.
Giabao made it to last year's countywide spelling bee but said he "did horrible," being eliminated in the second round.
This year's contest was held at the San Diego Hall of Champions in Balboa Park. It was open to 109 seventh- and eighth-graders who had won their schools' spelling bees. Four of the students who had qualified were no-shows Wednesday.
With spelling bee master David Hay announcing each word before a panel of judges, the first round passed with 22 students eliminated. The words got more challenging in the second round, and 53 were eliminated.
Diane Rocha, a teacher at Madison Middle School in Oceanside who has coached spelling-bee contestants for 20 years, said the second round was the toughest she had ever seen.
The casualties in that round included last year's runner-up, Marinda Whetten, a student from the same school who had reached her second countywide bee with Rocha's help.
She misspelled "decastich," which refers to a 10-line poem.
"I was sort of in shock, but this one was just a really hard word," said Marinda, explaining that she forgot the "h" at the end because she was more focused on whether the word had a "c" or a "k."
Even Snigdha thought this year's competition was particularly challenging.
"It definitely was tense up there," said the national champion, who presented the winning trophy at the end of Wednesday's spelling bee. "There were a lot of really hard words. I think the words got even harder this year."
Snigdha, who reluctantly revealed that she knew the spelling of every word in Wednesday's bee, said she rooted for a few friends — including Avi Waldman from Francis Parker School in Linda Vista, which she also attends.
Avi was one of four students in the sixth and final round, along with Giabao, Anastasia Heaton of Calvin Christian School in Escondido and Onrei Ladao of Lemon Grove Academy.
Even Giabao had his moments of doubts late in the contest. As he struggled with the word "mycology" — the study of fungus — he half-jokingly asked Hay if he could have a different word.
Onrei also appeared to be on the brink of elimination when he asked Hay to pronounce "heortology" — the study of religious festivals — so many times that the spelling bee master warned him that he would read it only once more. That was enough for Onrei, who went on to ace the spelling of the word.
But the next round found him and two other remaining competitors misspelling their words, leaving only Giabao. His final challenge: "bonspiel," a tournament or match between curling clubs.

We have just learnt a really nice fact about the game of tic-tac-toe. As you may know, tic-tac-toe always results in a draw if both players make the best moves possible at every step of the game. To force a draw you need to follow a particular strategy, which isn't too hard, but tedious to write down (see here).
But now imagine you play tic-tac-toe the other way around, so that the first person to get three in a row loses the game. Again the game will end in a draw if both players play optimally. But this time the strategy for the first player is really easy: at your first move, choose the central square, and after that simply mirror your opponent's moves. By "mirror" we mean that you choose the square that is diametrically opposite the last square the opponent chose: if the opponent chose the top right corner, you choose the bottom left one, if they chose the middle top one, you choose the middle bottom one, and so on.
The same works in a version of tic-tac-toe that has, not 3x3, but nxn squares, where n is an odd number (if n is even there is no central square). Again we play the version in which the player who first gets n in a row loses. If the first player adopts the strategy above, they will never lose.
It's not too difficult to see why this strategy works. Let's call the player who goes first A and the other one B. After A takes the central square at the first move, B goes next and A mirrors B from then on. This means that whatever configuration of squares A has taken, B has taken the mirror image of the same configuration first. In particular, if A was forced to take n squares in a row, then B must have taken n squares in a row at the previous move, so B would have lost before A even got to make the supposed losing move. Nice!

Can we always find order in systems that are disordered? If so, just how large does a system have to be to contain a certain amount of order? In this video Imre Leader of the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge gives an equation free introduction to a fascinating area of maths called Ramsey theory.
This talk was originally given to an audience of Year 12 A-level maths students (aged 16-17) in June this year and formed part of a mathematics enrichment day organised by the Millennium Mathematics Project with a special focus on encouraging the development of mathematical thinking.
Intrigued? You can read a brief description of Ramsey theory or find out more in our more detailed article. And you can also find out how Ramsey theory gives us one of our favourite numbers.

Mr and Mrs Huntrodd were both born on the same day — 19 September 1600. That's quite a coincidence isn't it? (See here just how much of a coincidence this is.) What's even more of a coincidence is that they both died, within 5 hours of each other, on the same day too, which was… drum roll please… 19 September 1680! This seems very surprising. So surprising that even the very hard to surprise Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter OBE, Winton Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk and friend of Plus, was surprised. So surprised that he took this photo and is now throwing a party to celebrate this unlikely event with party, this Friday 19 September.

You can join Spiegelhalter and his risky colleagues Timandra Harkness and Michael Blastland at their Huntrodd's party or you can throw your own. Visit the website to find out more! Happy Huntrodd's day!

While normally using the zimbra webclient, I started to play around with Zimbra IMAP and Apple Mail.
The setup of Zimbra, IMAPS and the Apple Mail client was surprisingly not that complicated.
A bleep from my laptop indicated that mails were coming into the laptop.
Replying/sending also worked.
Wow! it works....
Until I realized that the client was seemingly downloading ALL messages in my zimbra mailbox plus those in shared mailboxes I've access to. All 5 years of it, no wonder the laptop started to huff.
In Apple Mail, I found a quota list showing all the folders and subfolders, but I can't set/alter limits.
There's also a subscription list where I suppose I would select the folders to download/monitor. but it is empty. This, I think, because the download was not complete when I interrupted it.
How can I limit the number of messages or folders that get downloaded?
apple mail = mail 5.0 = os x lion
zimbra = see above
best regards

Family and Consumer Sciences in Phillips County Summary Report for 2012
Nutrition and Health
Disease prevention and increasing awareness of nutrition and fitness benchmarks for Phillips County residents of all ages continues to be a primary area of programming. Planning programs in this area revolve around Golden Plains Area programs and activities that are supported by the community.
A Matter of Balance classes were held in Haxtun and Holyoke, focusing on preventing falls among the older adults. Two Strong People classes were held in Holyoke to help the middle-aged adult continue to maintain body weight, increase strength for daily activities and prevent osteoporosis and heart disease.
A Healthier Weigh is a 12-week program designed for teams or individuals to track their fitness level with a number of steps using a pedometer. Each week participants are able to access nutrition and fitness information online. There were 50 participants in Phillips County last year, so there was great response to this type of program.
Soon after A Healthier Weigh program, Extension was a partner with the Melissa Memorial Hospital Foundation for the Amateur Triathlon competition and event. Extension provided nutrition lessons for the participants and support for organizing weigh-ins. The 12 weeks of A Healthier Weigh and the eight-week session of the triathlon really gives the community an opportunity to work on and make positive changes with their health and fitness.
Nutrition and fitness education with some emphasis on diabetes education was also provided through the health fairs in both Haxtun and Holyoke in March. At the Holyoke health fair there was a diabetes educator available for individuals to come and ask personal and specific questions about their diabetes situation.
Zumba dance as a fitness opportunity has had great success as well. This summer another instructor was trained to provide classes, so Extension now offers four classes per week. Each class averages about 12-15 participants.
As a member of the wellness committee for Holyoke School District, I primarily serve as the organizer for the Walking School Bus. The committee was interested in supporting activities for students to participate in that were not school related or an extra-curricular activity.
This school year marks the second season of the Walking School Bus, a Safe Routes to School program. Every Friday for about six weeks, students met at a central location to walk to school together. Older students from various athletic teams were asked to participate as chaperones for the younger students.
Every participant, grades K-6, and all sponsors were tracked for their participation during the six weeks as part of a total distance walked competition. In the end, the fourth grade won, walking 21.2 miles as a class.
Nutrition and fitness education for the youth of Phillips County was addressed through the Phillips County Family Education Services after-school program and their summer education program. The primary focus was to educate students and parents about the principles of Chose My Plate.
Participants also were involved in trying different ways to prepare nutritious foods. The preschool age group also learned about nutrition and fitness for a day during their "health" week at school. Students were shown Chose My Plate and related the colors on the plate to the different types of foods in each food group.
They also were able to connect what we "put into our bodies" as a way to make our bodies work right. So, they also learned about the different parts of the body related to food and exercise.
During the summer, kids were able to sign up for the Kid Phit program. This six-week, one day a week, program also focused on fitness through play, nutrition principles and some type of arts and craft.
Small Steps to Health and Wealth was presented to Highline Electric Association for a two-hour worksite workshop. This program was able to meet some of the company's wellness education criteria for insurance purposes.
In addition to presenting Small Steps to Health and Wealth for all staff, the front office staff participated in an ergonomics evaluation. This process allowed for staff to analyze their office working conditions to help prevent any overuse injuries at the job site.
Some adjustments had to be made with chair height, keyboard height and distance, reaching distances, phone placement and monitor placement. The same information on ergonomics and safety was presented as part of a Worksite Wellness presentation for the Haxtun Hospital District.
Coaches from surrounding school districts participated in a Prevention and Care of Athletic Injuries Clinic at Akron High School and at the Phillips County Event Center in Holyoke. Coaches were instructed on proper taping techniques that they then practiced.
Then they reviewed signs, symptoms and treatment of common injuries and illnesses associated with athletics. Finally, coaches were able to become recertified with CPR and first aid. This was a good way for coaches to prepare for their upcoming seasons and to obtain the required credentials to be a coach.
Family finance
The third week in April, the fourth-grade classes at Holyoke Elementary and Haxtun Elementary participated in a Piggy Bank Contest to recognize April as Financial Literacy Month. Students made their own banks out of recycled materials that were judged by a panel from their school.
Awards were donated by local banks for the top three winners, as well as a little "prize" for each student participating. Teachers used educational booklets, provided by Extension, with the students to teach them about money and saving.
Parents were also asked to be involved through a letter and a pamphlet that was sent home. Teachers and students said that the activity was fun and that some were starting to save more.
Food safety
Working with the other four Extension agents in the Northeast Colorado region, materials for a Concessions Stand Food Safety curriculum were developed and released to be presented to the surrounding high schools in January of 2012. Schools are currently working to implement the curriculum to students or other individuals that will be working in the concessions stands.
Then they will present an evaluation questionnaire to the patrons of the concessions stand that will indicate if the service and safety had changed as a result of their education in the area of food safety. We are hoping to have information back from the schools this spring to determine if the materials were effective.
Youth development and outreach
This was the second school year that the After-School Enrichment Program has been offered. In Haxtun, Holyoke and now Julesburg, students are given the opportunity to try new "things" after school. Most of the projects or subjects revolve around 4-H project areas with volunteers with expertise in those areas instructing the students.
Consequently, the hope is that more students will eventually want to sign up for 4-H. Projects students have been able to sign up for included: watercolor art, cupcake decorating, sewing, leathercraft, rocketry, weaving with fabric, GPS—geocaching and robotics. Students paid a small fee to help cover equipment and material costs.
Phillips County Extension partnered with Phillips County Family Education Services to create a community calendar of summer events and opportunities. The brochure called "Holyoke Happenings" included all of the vacation Bible school dates, swimming pool hours, baseball schedules, athletic camp schedules, county fair dates and special event dates and times.
Extension was integral in forming a list of activities that students could participate in over the summer. Volunteers were called upon to teach their area of expertise to the children. Activities included Extension-sponsored or taught classes like Kid Phit, Kids Culinary Camp, Gear Tech 21, a week-long robotics and GPS course and Grow a Row for the Hungry.
Other classes that volunteers contributed to were jewelry beading, crochet, natural resources, weather, outdoor adventures and rocketry.
For the second year, the Holyoke Chamber and Extension sponsored a Kids' Holiday at the Peerless Center in Holyoke. Kids, along with their parents if they would like, decorate a gingerbread house. Then they enjoy popcorn, candy and soft drink while they watch a Christmas movie.
All of the gingerbread houses are displayed in Sullivan's Appliance window throughout the first part of the month of December for the community to enjoy. This is such a fun activity for everyone and a great way to spend time together.
Community development
Aside from creating partnerships within the community, being part of community development, having a more deliberate role in facilitating groups is another goal of Extension. With continued training in this area, I have been able to assist three different groups in a meeting setting.
First, I facilitated the Phillips County Fair Board on two occasions. The outcome of this facilitation was not the desired outcome, as the board was not able to then use the information that they gained from those meetings. I am in hopes that this may still be addressed in later planning sessions.
Early this fall I was able to facilitate with Kindra Plumb the 4-H leaders' meetings in both Phillips County and Sedgwick County. There were some successes with both meetings. Overall, there was discussion that made all parties realize that they can work together and that there is a common goal of good for all children involved.
Again, as I become trained and continue to attempt to use my skills, I learn more and more and look forward to how I can be more involved in community decision-making over time.
Newspaper columns and newsletters
Quarterly, the five FCS agents in the Northeast Region of the state work together to write a newsletter that is sent out to patrons in their area. In addition, I write informational articles for the newspapers in Holyoke and Haxtun about twice a month.
These articles focus on nutrition information, food safety information, recipes and financial information. As counties and as agents, we are currently working on reaching more individuals using multimedia, such as email and Facebook.
Continuing Education
This fall I was able to participate with two agents and a dietician from Wray in a class from Cornell University called "An Ecological Approach to Preventing Childhood Obesity." We worked together as a team to identify factors within our community that can contribute to the childhood obesity problem in the area of food or nutrition and in the area of activity or fitness.
This approach made me realize that prevention entails a lot more than just educating someone about what they should be doing, like using Chose My Plate.
Next, starting at the beginning of this next year I hope to study to receive my Personal Trainers License. This type of training and credential will support my main area of fitness and health with Extension. I am really looking forward to reviewing and learning new information about an area of interest to me and then take that information for the good of the community and surrounding area.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Jonathan Fullard has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for sexually assaulting and killing a toddler, the U.S. District Attorney said in a release on Friday.
According to court documents, 29-year-old Faullard was babysitting his former girlfriend's 20-month-old son, Keyontae Osbia Moore, at the 3000 block of 30th St. Southeast while she went to work on March 4.
The next morning he called this then girlfriend to tell her the toddler stopped breathing. The child was taken to United Medical Center in extremely critical condition, the release said.
The boy was then transferred to Children's National Medical Center, where it was determined he had trauma to his head and body. The boy died due to his injures on March 5, the release stated.
Evidence later suggested the toddler was sexually assaulted, the release stated.
In October 2012, Fullard pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the death of the toddler.
He will be placed on five years supervised release after he serves his sentence and will be registered as a sex offender for the rest of his life, the statement said.

1967 Chevy Caprice - Behind The ScenesWritten on October 1, 2007
LLegue al Zone, pt. II
We seem to make an AutoZone parking lot repair stop on every road trip we take. Most recently, we wet down the lot at a Las Vegas AutoZone when we replaced the CC/Rambler's bloated upper radiator hose. This particular 'Zone was OK with us-it had copies of Car Craft on its magazine rack. Donk Box & Bubble was nowhere to be seen.
Fire! Fire!
Our chop saw proves once again that it is worth its weight in gold. We needed to hack a section of the mounting tabs off the slapper bars before mounting them on the CC/Rambler. The blade didn't even slow down. And pictures with sparks are cool. Need a chop saw like this one? Go to eastwood.com.
The car may not be cool, but it is finally painted. McGann's '86 Caprice got the suede treatment over the first weekend of June after spending months in bare steel getting dents pounded out and extraneous trim holes welded closed. The paint is Hot Rod Flat Black from Kustom Shop. It's a two-part urethane, which means it's UV resistant and waterproof. Next project: Yank the embarrassing TBI V-6 and drop in a real engine.
Rambler, meet Ranger
There isn't a lot of space in Los Angeles, and driving a crew-cab longbed Silverado with a fullsize trailer with a racer's toolbox attached is like painting a big bull's-eye on your butt so idiots in a Volvo can drill their junk right into you. Paying $150 in gas for a round trip to the track is no skip through the playground either. Our solution is to eliminate the trailer completely and use a towbar behind the '67 F250 for a little more speed and agility in traffic, and to solicit the help of some old-school steel bumpers, a loud V-8, and orange paint to scare the herd of Priuses back into the slow lane. Get out of the way!
Kiss My Grits
One of the souvenirs we could have picked up at the Year One Experience in Atlanta. There actually were a lot of pretty girls there, too.

About this font family
Originally ZionTrain was built as a (probably first in Cyrillic!) navigation typeface for the Kharkiv identity project and Kharkiv subway and airport navigation systems. We wanted comprehensible, distinctive letterforms, that can help everybody on the way from Babylon to Zion.
The project was used in Kharkiv promotion at homeland and abroad, but was rejected by the new government. As a corporate typeface it was used for a few cultural projects. More…

[Intro: Joe Budden]
Ugh, shorty old news though
Yesterday's paper
Check this
[Verse 1: Joe Budden]
Baby like it raw, I don't even waste a magnum on her
Clean up amazing I appreciate the fashion on her
Badder than a mother fuck, ain't too many passin' on her
Only right I pick her up, the way she got a wagon on her
When I'm on that road don't forget the bops when I'm in town
Not unless it's for the threesome if its poppin' she'll be down
Know these other jokers be starin' but it stop when I'm around
First to get inside them jeans, she be hoppin' up and down
Let the world know that she ride think that eventually will break up
And I love it when we argue cause eventually we make up
I mean, we fight and fuck, we fuck and fight
We fuck some more, every fuckin' night
Shape great, taste great, body softer than cashmere
Anytime her cheques drop she knows she can crash here
Them other broads is other broads, all of them is last year
Can't get mad, I'm just stating facts here
[Hook: Tank]
Down-down like you, down-down like you, down-down like you
She don't put it down like you
Down-down like you, down-down like you, down-down like you
She don't put it down like you
Girl you working with the killer
Ain't nobody fucking with ya
She don't put it down like you
Down-down like you, down-down like you, down-down like you
She don't put it down like you
[Verse 2: Fabolous]
Never tripping off the past, I would rather never mind 'em
Cause only fools trip over something that be behind 'em
And yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery
She here at the present time, it feel like a gift when she
Put it down, down, all the way down
You could get down, but can you stay down?
Shout out to the ladies with your down asses
That keep a tight circle and them round asses (Nice!)
At the crib, it's just us, nigga
Fuck me so good, make me not trust niggas
That's my shit, I'm overprotected
You want that good shit? You know where your connect live
Told my ex, "Don't be bitter, be better"
I replace her before I regret her
Text's now and then, that question how I been?
The hook sound like a message I would send
[Hook: Tank]
[Verse 3: Twista]
A down girl, I remember when I used to bag up in the basement with her
With the attraction of a Michael Jackson swag, but in this case a thriller
And she was a wolf, not in sheep's clothing, but a grey chinchilla
Even though I found another assassin it can never be your replacement killer
When I got up in the goods kinda good to me, but I know that she don't put it down like you
Cut from the bottom when you up when you pop on top, cause nobody around like you
Pulling back to me and I'm all up in it fully when I'm pulling a palm full of hair
Finna lay you on your back missionary position and give it to you good with your Louie Vuitton's in the air
Got a bad new bitch, but she don't be tripping don't cross with them flaws
But she don't be doing the way you be doing when you be working them walls
I'm bumping some Tank and planking fucking her good, but then you go fronting
Steady cutting with bitches all on me cause I'm with Joe Budden, but what ho wasn't
I'll put you in the category of somebody that give it to me good but will work a nigga's nerves
Individual and I'm never particular but I'll never be with her so I kick her to the curb
I got a new woman though I be building her up to be better than you
She fine but don't know how to throw it back, so she can never be you
I done put another in your space
Damn, after you it's been hard to replace
I just want the same judge sittin' on the case
She gon' hate but she know

Thursday news, June 7th
Historical Preservationist Reviews Le Mars Nomination for National Historic Registry
(Le Mars) -- A Historical Preservationist offered her comments during an evening meeting regarding the nomination of the Le Mars Downtown District for the National Historical Registry. Kerry Davis told the small gathering that 96 buildings within the downtown area will be submitted for nomination. Davis says there are many benefits to having a community listed on the National Registry of Historical Places. She says it is an honor for any community to be listed on the National Historic Registry. She also says since Le Mars is a member of the Main Street Iowa organization, the designation helps accomplish the goals of both preservation and economic development.

Davis offers this explanation for last evening's meeting.

Lt. Governor Reynolds Tours I-M-L Containers
(Le Mars) -- Iowa's Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds took a private tour of the I-M-L Containers Iowa of Le Mars Wednesday afternoon. Reynolds, says she was impressed with I-M-L's committment to the area. I-M-L containers started with just seven employees, but only recently was able to expand operations to include 50 employees, while operating 24 hour shifts. I-M-L Containers works with 15 main clients, including Wells Blue Bunny. Their products are shipped to various locations within the midwest, Canada, and around the world Reynolds says the purpose to visit I-M-L and other businesses within northwest Iowa is to see how the state can partner with such businesses, and to ask if those businesses are facing any difficult issues with regulations or other obstacles. Reynolds says I-M-L offers many technological positions which coincides well with Governor Branstad's goal of STEM education which focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathmatics.
Supevisors Approve Summer Construction Projects
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Board of Supervisors approved the bids for five different construction projects slated to begin this summer.

Christ Lutheran Church of Remsen to Celebrate 125 years
(Remsen)-- 170 current members, 1,055 baptisms, 796 confirmations, 265 marriages and 17 ministers. These are the figures after 125 years of worship being celebrated at Christ Lutheran Church in Remsen this weekend. Vernon and Rita Letsche have been members as a couple for 30 years, and Vernon's family are lifelong members. Rita shares with us the story of the churches founding.
Listen here
That is when the original wooden church building was built, in the late 20's the interior of that building was improved. In 1941, a brick church took its place, and is still the cornerstone for the current building. Rita says the dismantling of the 1941 church happened in 3 days with man and horse power...literally.
Listen here
Man power hours totaled 1,647, horse power hours totaled 152. The organ and the naive were moved from the original church. In the end, this building with seating for 250 cost only $25,000 to build. Family and kids are big part of Christ Lutheran's mission. The Letche's raised 6 kids in the church, and led youth group for about 30 years. One of the children's groups in the church is Kids Quest. Rita says that they work hard to do the work of the church.
Listen here
Five families who are still part of the congregation are five and six generation members. The Maass' and Ericksen's have six generations and the Sonnicksen's, Kroeger's and Eubank's have five.
Pastor Dennis Martens currently presides over the congregation and will be leading the celebratory service this weekend to commemorate 125 years at Christ Lutheran Church in Remsen. Services begin at 10:30 on Sunday, with a dinner following as well as a 1pm program featuring music, memories and photos. The public is more than welcome to attend.

Only living up to its name if measured on a scale of terrible to God-awful.
The anticipation of annihilating mythological creatures with a belt-fed .50 cal machine gun.
Having every anticipation relegated to running around the creatures in circles unloading clip after clip until it dies.
Every single electronic keypad in the world is apparently defeated by bashing it open with your elbow then holding two wires together for a random amount of time.
In Greek mythology Pandora's box was a gift given to Pandora on her wedding day by Zeus with the warning never to open for it contained all the suffering in the world. She didn't listen and as the saying goes "curiosity killed the cat", but in this opposing view of what Pandora's box contains curiosity unleashes an unending torrent of ravenous blood thirsty monsters.
At the dawn of time everything that goes bump in the night existed and did much more than bump placing the humans at the wrong end of the food chain. In retaliation man fashioned a box out of a fallen meteor that had the power to trap all of those creatures and lock them away allowing the human race to flourish. To protect this box a shadow group called the Council of 98 was formed, however every group has its opposing extremists these ones calling themselves the Black Order who believed they could harness the power.
Cut to present day, you play Charles Deckard a world renowned thief who is hired by global corporate CEO LeFey to break into the Natural History Museum and open Pandora's box. Once the box is open, releasing all the monsters, LeFey then turns on Deckard and Vivian (his in-the-field liaison and LeFey's personal assistant) revealing himself to be the head of the Black Order and sending wave after wave of inept soldiers to kill both of you. Armed with an arsenal of conventional firearms and the magical Signet(a new glowing scar in Deckard's hand that allows him to absorb dead monsters gaining energy to be used for healing and sending out a shockwave) Deckard must find a way to send these creatures back to the crate they came from. Unfortunately this opening is as good as the game gets.
is another in a long line of discount FPS's that fall into a category I call the "rail-shooter". What I mean by "rail-shooter" is that this FPS locks the player in the most linear path possible from beginning to end with almost zero side areas to explore or puzzles to solve, in this game's case I do not consider holding the "use" key until a door opens a puzzle. Unfortunately the biggest crime in this genre is taking some of the most innovative game concepts and ruining them on almost every level.
The idea of pumping fire breathing dragons full of lead and watching their corpse hurl towards the ground is a scene to get almost any video game player twitching in their trigger finger, but what should have been awe inspiring becomes droll almost instantly. Alas dragons do not even make an appearance in this farce and the few monsters that do are either dispatched with the greatest of ease, werewolves taking about 20 well placed assault rifle rounds, or are just unnecessarily difficult, griffons taking more than 300 heavy machine gun rounds to the head.
Unfortunately these errors are not scarce and ultimately it seems that the game design is fundamentally flawed. Of all the boss battles, I could only really count three and that was stretching it, only one is worthy of note, the mighty Kraken. Rising from the shores banking the London Parliamentary building the Kraken seeks to crush everything under its mighty tentacles. Deckard must use an unlimited supply of target locking rocket launchers to shoot an eye on the Kracken's tentacles then another into its mouth then rinse and repeat until its calamari, and as long as you shoot the same tentacle nearest your ammo cache you don't actually have to move. An alternative to this would have been to have more than just two tentacles, this way they would not need to regenerate and would force the player to move along the expansive roof hunting down other weak points.
The other boss battle involved a minotaur in a stone courtyard, the only hint given to its defeat was to take the part of a Spanish conquistador and play 'ole' with the monstrous creature shooting him in his tender backside (Your helpful PDA actually just said that its back was more vunerable). I took the path of less stupidity and just ran away from it, easily outrunning the cumbersome beast, turning around ever so often to unload a magazine into him easily defeating a boss that should have been just a little bit more epic. The third boss battle is really just this one redesigned, but how does a Legendary designer make a previous boss battle better? Instead of one easily defeated minotaur you now have to fight two!
This game does have its rare good moments, however. Ever so often scripted events will occur allowing you a glimmer of awesome as a griffon comes swooping in to tear limb from limb a fellow team member, if only you didn't feel completely helpless during these points. Rather than being a separate cut scene these events happen in-game allowing you to act completely normally, but unable to interact with the event. What you would think would be cool becomes unendingly frustrating as you watch a werewolf leap from the bushes, stalk towards your ally, slash him across the chest, then bite his head off, all while you unload magazine after magazine pointblank into him to no avail. Once your buddy is thoroughly digested, however, the werewolf suddenly becomes weakened by a full stomach (I'm just guessing) and can be killed, so it all works out in the end, just not for your allies wife and kids at home.
Taking storyline, gameplay, combat, level design, infuriating in-game cinematics, and a one-foot high jump (I'm not kidding it's utterly useless) aside just standing still becomes an affront to the visual and auditory senses. A generic rock track, complete with an obnoxious guitar, repeats itself over and over while the graphics resemble an Unreal 3 mod. Even the ending leaves the player with no real closure, shamelessly setting itself up for a sequel.
The most unfortunate thing about this title is not its many faults, but its lost potential. When I first heard about this game, about a year ago, I was immensely excited for a title that I thought was long overdue. Any video game fan that has ever played
in the same afternoon has assuredly pondered with a far off "Hmm, What if someone created a game mixing fantasy creatures and guns?" and after playing this game I still wonder, but now I wonder two things:
1. "Hmmm, What if someone created a GOOD game mixing fantasy creatures and guns?"
2. "Where are the wasted eight hours of my life and how can I get them back?"
Even while playing so many opportunities for a better game come to light. First off there are very few monsters, nine in total, and none of them are particularly challenging. I constantly wondered, though, where are the rest? Medusas, giants, centaurs, DRAGONS any of these creatures would have been an exceptional addition to the game, three of them representing possible boss battles. The lack of these monsters is a shame, but what is completely left out of a game can not be criticized as much as what was there and not utilized to anywhere near its full potential. The Signet can only perform two tasks, heal or shockwave, the latter almost getting no use, but what about other powers. Recycling any power from other magic oriented games would have been better then just letting this unique twist lie useless, only used as a mobile medkit. Anything from fireballs to monster mind control would have fit in seamlessly, but alas it was not meant to be.
Hopefully the developers, Spark Unlimited, will get the message and try to take a little pride in their next title. Here's hoping.
This game was procured for the PC and had about 8 hours dedicated to it. Two of those hours were spent on normal mode, then switched to Hard (the hardest difficulty) to try and get a challenge.
This game contains excessive violence, blood, and gore, and is rated M for mature (18+) a rating that would seem apt, however the flaws of this game, aside from the all that violence, may make it unplayable to a younger audience without excessive FPS experience.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing:
This game includes subtitles that can be turned on and off from the options menu.

Here is the second half of the tutorial
EDIT 30 April 2007: For easier & less-costly home printing, the tutorial background pattern was eliminated.
Okay, friends, as requested I am attaching the first part of my city map tutorial, which shows the process I followed to create Eneini in Photoshop. I hope it helps you in some minor way with your own endeavors!
Attached is part one of the tutorial. Part two will be in the next message.
Enjoy, & please feel free to send me improvements, suggestions, & criticism. Take care!
EDIT 30 April 2007: Changed the tutorial to contain no background pattern, to make printing easier & less costly!

Argh...I can't seem to get the download to work. I'll try again from home this evening.
Thank you in Advance, Don!
I was able to download both parts but it took a bit of doing, I had to make sure that I saved the files to disk instead of opening them directly in Acrobat as I usually do.

Thanks Naryt...working now.
And thanks again Don!
Oh my word! Don....this is a superb tutorial! Thanks again! You really are a genius.
Thanks very much for the tutorials. I had the time to follow them through using the GIMP. I kept a few notes along the way to highlight differences in the applications, but feel the results turned out satisfactory.
This was done as a technical exercise, as opposed to mapping for a purpose, so you may see a strong resemblance with your tutorial map
The real trick is in the streets. I found it took an incredibly long time to hand draw in streets. most of mine ended up either too rough, or too straight. I think it would be easier with something other than a mouse...maybe I need to buy that graphic tablet...
-Rob A>
P.S> This was about 6 hours effort.
EDIT: I posted on the end of this thread rather than starting its own as this was to demonstrate the tutorial...
EDIT2: I cleaned the layers up a bit, removed some of the texture layers, and adjusted the levels. Also, some judicious use of unsharp mask was applied to emphasize the man made object layers

No, thank YOU for using the tutorial & posting the results. It's nice to know someone else 1) can follow my chickenscratch; and 2) found my six-fingered, humpbacked brainchild interesting & worthwhile enough to take the time to use it. Nice work, too!Originally Posted by RobA
I would be very interested in seeing your GIMP notes--perhaps to add to the original tutorial or perhaps to post as a second, separate tutorial for GIMP users. I also have a couple questions about your end results in comparison to mine (ex: does GIMP not have the same filter(s) as Photoshop?) Would you be willing to email your notes & ideas to me?
Yes, tell me about it, my friend! I tried many, many different filters, fills, processes, & combos of all the above to create the effect without the need to draw in all those streets by hand, but none of them turned out worth a darn. All fell at either end of the spectrum: either too mechanical or too random.Originally Posted by RobA
Drawing those streets with a mouse (and I did it with my first map, so I know too) is a major pain; the tablet helps a lot. So do lots of breaks. And listening to songs like "Carefree Highway," "On the Road Again," and "Route 66" over & over again.
On the up-side, a positive aspect of my "artsy fartsy-ish" map style is that I don't need to become Captain Anal Retentive and sweat over each & every street, but I can instead "scribble & slash" them to suggest reality. I don't think yours looks at all bad, Rob, but I'd put in about another 50% worth of side streets, alleys, courtyards & such.
Thanks again to everyone for your compliments; I'm so happy I was able to give you a little something. Again, please let me know if you find improvements or can suggest ideas.
Take care,

No problem, just need to make them a bit cleaner. The big difference is that Gimp doesn't have layer effects. You need to apply effects as separate layers. That means that if you change the original layer, you have to redo the effect layer. Take drop shadow as an example. I f you erase a part of the main layer, you would have to regenerate the drop shadow or there will be an anomalous bit of one left.Originally Posted by pyrandon
I did a bit of experimentation, and there is one filter in GIMP that gives interesting results...mosaic. I make the "grout" the same green as the fields to make it appear as grass in peoples yards. I have attached a sampleOriginally Posted by pyrandon
I agree, the look like big lumps. I was just getting fatigued. I think the mosaic might be a good solution. Just need to play with the settings more.Originally Posted by pyrandon
-Rob A>
Clever idea, Rob! The mosaic tiles do not look bad in the GIMP edition you've posted; not bad at all. I think one would still need to hand-draw in most of the same alley & sidestreet lines, so I'm not convinced this is a huge time saver. Is that assumption correct?
Also, after playing with Photoshop a bit I can't seem to reproduce your exact effect, even using the mosaic, mosaic tiles, and other pixelate/texture filters; even with some play adding other filters, etc., the result appears too "geometric" in my tests.
Another option occurred to me while playing: creating a "buildings" brush that dabs in groups (or lines) of houses; I had thought of this more for villages, where the spaces would be greater, but I wonder if I could make it work for cities, too. I'll have to experiment with that.
Thanks again, and nice work!

I'm not sure what the mosaic settings in Photoshop are.
I have attached the Gimp dialog. I found the best effect was as selected (for buildings.
I also did a quick test running the mosaic filter three times. Also attached. Think I'll keep playing as there seems some potential for filling large areas easily. There has to be a reasonable programmatic way to generate streets.... might have to look into L-systems and fractals again

Three top-10s Pace Golfers to Runner-up Finish
COLUMBIA, Mo.—The Iowa State men's golf team fired a final-round-low 280 this afternoon to finish second at the Columbia Regional Preview. The Cyclones were 8-under as a team today thanks to a 66 from freshman Ruben Sondjaja and a 68 by junior All-American Scott Fernandez. The Cyclones carded a three-round 857 total, five shots behind team champion Missouri. Austin Peay placed third, 13 shots behind ISU at 870.
ISU's 857 tally is the 12th-best 54-hole team score in school history.
Sondjaja was one of many contributors for the Cyclones this afternoon. The Australian native carded a 6-under 66 that was sparked by three birdies and an eagle on the back nine. Sondjaja finished with a tournament total of 214 (74-74-66), which tied him with teammate and fellow true freshman Nick Voke in a tie for sixth place. Voke, who shot rounds of 68-73-73, has placed in the top-10 in both of his tournaments as a Cyclone. It was Sondjaja's first top-10 finish.
Fernandez led all Cyclones by placing fourth in the medalist race en route to his 15th career top-10 finish. The All-American shot a 68 in the final round this morning for a three-round 211 (73-70-68) total.
Junior Sam Daley shot a 1-over 73 to close out the tournament. Daley tied for 15th at 218 (77-68-73).
It marks the first time since the 2012 Hawkeye Invitational where the Cyclones had three players finish in the top-10.
The Cyclones will be back in action on September 23rd at the VCU Shootout.

American Graffiti Petaluma Truck Show - American GraffitiWritten by on September 1, 2008 Romance, Racing & Rock 'n' Roll
Where were you in '62? That was the question of the day when American Graffiti first hit the silver screen in 1973. Not that anybody asked me, but, because I'm writing this story and I'm old enough to remember, the first thing that comes to mind for me is Stockbridge, Michigan, and it was the day Marilyn Monroe died. OK, so that's kind of a bummer. Let's move on to Jackson, Michigan, and my aunt Helen just took me to a hobby shop to buy an AMT 1/25th scale model of a '62 T-bird convertible. It was a pretty cool kit, because it came with that really neat optional tonneau cover Ford made to turn the 'Bird into a two-seater. White has always been a good color for T-birds. Who could forget blonde bombshell Suzanne Somers in her white '56 'Bird as she mouthed the lyrics to "Why do fools fall in love?"
There was a lot of great nostalgia that came to life in American Graffiti. It was filmed in Petaluma and San Rafael, California. Most of the important scenes that folks remember best were filmed in downtown Petaluma. For 2008 the city of Petaluma paid a 35th anniversary homage to George Lucas' classic with a weekend packed full of pure fun that included yanking the rearend out of a police car. There's a good chance the town of Petaluma will host the 36th anniversary of American Graffiti next year so they can pay for the rearend damage to their police cruiser.

You can't always tell by the grille, because they interchange from year to year, but odds are this might be a '54 Ford F-100
After Suzanne Somers' cameo role in <i>American Graffiti</i>, a white early 'Bird will never be the same--no matter how many years have passed since '73.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, a vocal supporter of immigration reform who became a target for Republicans, said on Friday she will leave her position to lead the University of California.
It was not clear who would replace her at the helm of the Department of Homeland Security, the third-largest U.S. department with a broad mandate including immigration and disaster response. She plans to leave in early September.
The former Arizona governor has been an outspoken proponent of immigration reform and her announcement came as the U.S. Congress struggled to agree on an overhaul of immigration laws. She also had a prominent role in briefing Congress and the public about terrorism, including after the Boston Marathon bombings in April.
An original member of President Barack Obama's Cabinet, Napolitano was praised for restoring the Federal Emergency Management Agency to good standing after its disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Obama thanked Napolitano for working "around the clock" to respond to natural disasters including the 2011 Joplin, Missouri, tornado and Hurricane Sandy that battered the Northeast last year, as well as other challenges.
"Since day one, Janet has led my administration's effort to secure our borders, deploying a historic number of resources, while also taking steps to make our immigration system fairer and more consistent with our values," Obama said in a statement.
"The American people are safer and more secure thanks to Janet's leadership," he said.
Napolitano faced criticism from Republicans who accused her of presenting an overly rosy picture of the administration's track record on securing the U.S. border. Other critics said she failed to solve problems in her sprawling department, which was voted the least satisfying government agency in which to work.
"The many agencies housed within DHS are only as effective as their leadership, and it is crucial that the administration appoints someone who does not underestimate the threats against us, and who is committed to enforcing the law and creating a unified Department," said Republican Michael McCaul, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee in the House of Representatives.
The Department of Homeland Security was created in response to the September 11, 2001, attacks. It combined 22 different departments and has more than 240,000 employees focusing on sectors including aviation, border security and cyber-security.
Democrats praised Napolitano for helping to reduce illegal immigration and for supporting a measure last year to relax deportation rules for young people brought to the United States without legal status.
"She did the right thing in exercising her authority to provide temporary relief against deportation for children who were brought to this country through no fault of their own," said Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy, a Democrat.
Earlier in her career, Napolitano led the investigation into the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing as U.S. attorney for the District of Arizona.
Napolitano thanked Obama for the chance to serve the United States "during this important chapter of our history" and said she was looking forward to her new role focusing on "educating our nation's next generation of leaders."
The University of California includes more than 234,000 students and 207,000 faculty at 10 campuses.

|Dragons overtake Rams in fourth-quarter showdown
|Written by April Peregoy
Winning at home in a close match-up with Akron on Tuesday, Dec. 16, Holyoke boys' basketball team earned its fourth straight victory in a row.
The Dragons were off to a great start in the first quarter, hitting three shots from behind the arc and leaping ahead of the Rams by nine points.
"They executed the offense really well in the first quarter," said coach John Baumgartner.
However, he added, in the second quarter they backed off and became "sluggish."
Akron took full advantage of this change in momentum to catch up to Holyoke. Leading the way for the Rams in second quarter action was Alec Vasquez who put up seven of the 15 points scored by Akron during the period.
Right before the end of the half, the game was tied at 27. However, Ryan Baumgartner threw up another shot to give the Dragons a two-point lead at the buzzer.
In a suspenseful third quarter, Holyoke and Akron traded the lead back and forth, and found themselves tied up at several points throughout the eight minutes.
With the scores tied at 41 going into the fourth, Austin Tharp helped push the Dragons into the lead again by shooting a three-point basket. Two more field goals, made by Kyle Carper and Colby Wailes, also contributed.
Finding themselves once again behind the Dragons by a slim margin, the Rams tried fouling in an attempt to regain control of the ball. However, the strategy didn't work as Holyoke was able to make enough free throws to seal the deal.
With the last six baskets coming from the free-throw line, Holyoke was able to beat Akron by five.
"As a coach I can't complain," said Baumgartner about his team's performance on Tuesday. "The effort is there. They play hard and they play well together."
Offensively, he said, the team had its best output so far. However, he found the defense to be lacking compared to previous games. "We played better defense in the second half," he said, "but it still wasn't our best."
He added Akron deserved a lot of credit, especially in the second quarter, for making so many shots.
Baumgartner said the Holyoke team will continue to work on free throws and executing its offense.
At the top of the list in shooting was Tharp, who scored 18 total points during the game. Following him was Carper with 16 and Baumgartner with 10.
Wailes led the team in rebounds with seven, while Carper grabbed six and Tharp five. Meanwhile, Baumgartner snatched an impressive seven steals.
Holyoke 55, Akron 50
Tharp 4 3 1-1 1 18
Baumgartner 2 1 3-6 3 10
Carper 6 0 4-7 3 16
Wailes 2 0 0-1 1 4
DeBoer 0 0 0-0 0 0
Brown 1 0 2-2 1 4
Swanson 0 1 0-0 1 3
Scoring By Quarters
Holyoke 21 8 12 14 --55
Akron 12 15 14 9 --50

We have physical Zimbra servers, but we are trying to virtualize our application servers. Our app servers host our Web site, which we integrate with Zimbra via the preauth mechanism. Unfortunately, in our tests we're seeing intermittent problems with preauth failing for users on our virtual app servers. We see statements like this in our mailbox.log files on our Zimbra servers (some info redacted):
authentication failed for user-AT-domain.com, preauth timestamp is too old, server time: Mon Sep 27 14:20:49 PDT 2010, preauth timestamp: Mon Sep 27 14:26:01 PDT 2010
There are basic issues with keeping the system clock running the same on virtual servers as on physical servers, so I suspect we might have similar problems if we had physical app servers and virtual Zimbra servers. Is there some way to relax the 5 minute time window for the preauth token? Or is there some other way to do preauth with Zimbra that won't break if the system clocks on the various systems drift out of sync?

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL has announced new standards of punishment for players involved in domestic violence incidents.
Commissioner Roger Goodell detailed the new policies in a letter to NFL owners, according to USA Today.
Players will be subject to a 6-week suspension for their first domestic violence offense and could face a lifetime ban for subsequent offenses.
The move comes in the wake of public backlash over Ravens' Ray Rice, who received a two-game suspension after being involved in a physical fight with his then-fiancée back in February.
