Ports of LA/Long Beach stay on course
May 12, 2011 - LM Editorial
Both major ocean cargo gateways in San Pedro Bay posted positive numbers for container throughput in April.
Despite diminished activity on the transpacific trade lanes, the nation's leading ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach captured more than their share of inbound calls.
"We have had 15 months of consecutive growth, " said Port of LA spokesman, Philip Sanfield. "Last month we also had record exports, although we could not repeat that in April."
Total number of twenty-foot equivalent containers (TEUs) numbered 617,272.50 in April, besting last year's performance by 3.69 percent.
At the Port of Long Beach, reports were even more encouraging. After a slight dip in container cargo volume in March compared to a year ago, the port experienced a rebound in April with a 12 percent increase in imports and a 9.5 percent growth overall compared to April 2010.
Overall, the port moved 531,090 twenty-foot equivalent container units last month compared to 485,059 TEUs in April of last year.
Port terminals handled 270,107 TEUs of import containers, almost 30,000 TEUs more than a year ago. Exports jumped by 10.4 percent to 143,683 TEUs, aided by a weaker dollar and growing demand abroad. Empty container moves were up 3.2 percent to 117,300 TEUs. Most empty containers, noted port spokesmen, are bound overseas for refilling.
When news broke earlier this month that the liner start-up, The Containership Company (TCC), would cease to operate its Shanghai-Los Angeles shuttle, there was some speculation among analysts that the Port of LA would feel the impact.
Not so, said Sanfield:
"While we were sorry to see the service discontinued, it did not represent a lot of business here. Thanks to the acquisition of California United Terminals (CUT) late year, we are still making very positive numbers in comparison to 2010."
As reported in LM, the terminals moved to LA from Long Beach late last year.

The current New Bern Board of Aldermen will consider a couple of final agenda items Tuesday night before its new board members are sworn in.
Mayor Lee Bettis will turn over his mayoral duties to Dana Outlaw, who won a runoff election against Alderman and Mayor Pro Tem Sabrina Bengel in November. Aldermen Bengel and Denny Bucher, who also ran for mayor, will leave the board with Bettis after four years of service to the city.
After the current board considers a resolution to exchange property at 852/854 Howard St. for a city-owned lot at 506 Third Ave., approves the minutes of past meetings, and finishes any miscellaneous items, it will adjourn sine die, and Outlaw will be sworn in as mayor.
The three new board members who also will be sworn in are Dallas Blackiston, taking Bengel�s seat in Ward 1; Jeffrey Odham, taking Outlaw�s seat in Ward 6; and Patricia Schaible, taking Bucher�s seat in Ward 3. They will join returning Aldermen Johnnie Ray Kinsey, Ward 4; Bernard White, Ward 5; and Victor Taylor, Ward 2.
The new board will consider granting the New Bern Housing Authority a two-year, exclusive, transferrable option on one or more of the city-owned lots along Third Street. The lots are adjacent to property owned by 724 Oak LLC on Gaston Avenue.
According to staff reports, the housing authority will use the property for the development of affordable senior housing in partnership with Brody Investments if the investment company gets a 9 percent low-income housing tax credit from the N.C. Housing Finance Agency in 2014 or 2015. Brody Investments would have a better chance getting the credits if the city worked with the housing authority to meet state requirements, reports say.
The application for the tax credits is due Jan. 24. If the tax credits are not awarded in January 2014 or 2015, construction for the senior housing will not occur, and the city and housing authority�s obligations would terminate, reports show.
The board also will consider advertising for upset bids to sell three pieces of property jointly owned by the city and Craven County.
Guildfield Missionary Baptist Church has made an offer of $3,000 to purchase property at 839 Green St. The property has a tax value of $5,460. The city would receive 31.21 percent of the net sales proceeds, and the county would receive 68.79 percent of the net sales proceeds, reports show.
United Missionary Baptist Church has made an offer of $2,000 to purchase property at 823 West St. that has a tax value of $5,250. The city would receive 44.41 percent of the net sales proceeds, and the county would receive 55.59 percent of the net sales proceeds. The city�s cost associated with the tax foreclosure of the property was $2,050.55, according to reports.
Harold Nobles has made an offer of $1,200 to purchase property located at 1212 LaGrange St. and has a tax value of $5,250. The city would receive 31.844 percent of the net sales proceeds, and the county would receive 68.156 percent of the net sales proceeds. The city�s cost associated with the tax foreclosure of the property was $688.53, reports show.
Page 2 of 2 - The board also will consider a resolution to submit an application to the American Hiking Society for a National Trails Fund Grant.
The American Hiking Society�s Trails Fund offers grants ranging from $500 to $5,000 to build and protect hiking trails. If awarded, the grant would be used to develop trails at the proposed Simmons Street Eco Park, reports show.
A resolution also will be presented to close the 200 block of New Street for a Neighborhood Holiday Oyster Roast from 5 to 10 p.m. Dec. 26.
The new board also will recognize 15 graduates from the Citizens Police Academy during the meeting.

An MV-22B Osprey taxis behind a CH-46E Sea Knight Helicopter after its arrival at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma Aug. 3. Two Osprey aircraft, part of the second Osprey squadron to Japan, flew from MCAS Iwakuni. The arrival of the second Osprey squadron will complete the one-for-one replacement of the older CH-46E Sea Knight helicopters on Okinawa. The Osprey can fly twice as fast, carry three times the payload, and fly four times the distance of the older CH-46E. Its capabilities significantly benefit the U.S.-Japan alliance and strengthen III Marine Expeditionary Force's ability to provide for the defense of Japan and perform humanitarian assistance and disaster response missions. The aircraft are part of Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 262, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III MEF. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Matthew J. Manning/Released)

REGIONALREPORT TriangleDeveloper wants to win the region's space race
Some Pittsboro residents believe the proposed Chatham Park development will cramp their lifestyle, turning wide spaces into tight places. They might be right. Nevertheless, Tim Smith has a message for those who fear it: "Growth's coming whether they like it or not." The co-owner of Cary-based Preston Development Co. says the population of Chatham, Orange, Durham, Wake and Johnston counties will increase between 1 million and 1.5 million over the next two decades — it's now 1.6 million, according to the Office of State Budget and Management. The region will soon run out of places to put people. Smith and business partner Julian "Bubba" Rawl noticed this trend in the mid-'00s and bought their first piece of the proposed development nearly seven years ago. Since then, they have amassed 7,700 acres between Pittsboro and B. Everett Jordan Lake in Chatham County.
James Goodnight — the wealthiest man in the state and CEO of Cary-based SAS Institute Inc. (page 46) — will provide financial backing, which should reach $3 billion over the three decades it will take to complete Chatham Park. At capacity, it will include 20 million square feet of nonresidential space, 22,000 housing units and five retail centers and retain 2,000 acres of open space. It's Preston's largest project — the company also created 3,000-acre Preston and 2,000-acre Wakefield Plantation, both in Cary — and Smith says it would be the largest in the five counties.
First it needs Pittsboro's backing. The town's board of commissioners will soon vote, perhaps by the end of the month, on a rezoning that would exempt 7,120 acres from minimum lot size, building height and other restrictions, though the developer would still need planning-board approval for individual projects. When finished, Smith says, Chatham Park will increase the town's tax base by $15 billion and grow its population from 4,500 to nearly 60,000. "Pittsboro is going to be on the front page because that's where the growth is going to be. It needs to be done in one big plan." Preston can begin the first building — a 25,000-square-foot medical office for UNC Health Care — within six months.
LipoScience named William Cromwell chief medical officer in September after Robert Honigberg resigned because of family reasons. Cromwell held the position from 1999 to 2005. Richard Brajer stepped down as CEO several weeks earlier after the Raleigh-based medical-diagnostics company, which went public in January, lowered its earnings forecast for the second time this year.MEBANE — Morinaga will open a factory here in Orange County, investing $48 million and hiring 90 workers within three years.

DURHAM — Quintiles acquired Morrisville-based Novella Clinical, also a contract-research organization, for an undisclosed amount. Novella, which focuses on oncology, will operate as a unit of Quintiles and retain its name and leadership.

I would like to share my migration to Zimbra frustration.
Last week I installed OS Zimbra server for a small workgroup of users.
Installation went great and I had the server running in no time. It was really pleasant and good experience. Server is fast and responsive. UI is very modern and pretty.
Unfortunately I am unable to get my user's data to the system:
1. I used Thunderbird to copy local folders to Zimbra imap, but dates were lost. I searched forums and found out about the user/tb workarround.
I managed to import Inboxes, but Send arrived with messed-up "To" field.
2. I moved mailboxes to Evolution and imported again - same problem
3. Exported to ems and Outlook Express - same problem.
4. Exported to Communigate imap server and used imapsync. - same problem.
5. Exported to Outlook and used wizard to import - "To" field arrived OK, but dates are all the same.
I exhausted all the possible migration paths I could think of. It is really a shame, but I was so close..
Me feels bad.

|Hospital to address health needs survey
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Through public surveys and community health needs assessment meetings, members of the East Phillips County Hospital District board were able to identify the areas of health care that local residents deemed necessary.
During their Tuesday, Aug. 27 board meeting, members discussed the areas identified and what could be done to address these issues.
Over 130 people participated in the survey to help prioritize areas of need in health care in the community. Ten percent of all surveys were taken in Spanish.
Dental health was named the top priority by survey respondents as local availability is non-existent. Promotion of the need for a healthy lifestyle and the education for the different dental needs were also factors that led to dental health being the top area of need.
While 86 percent of those who utilize the services offered by the district responded favorably to the job performance, for the most part, the areas identified had to do with the community's level of awareness of programs already in place.
Of the nine areas identified, at least six take into account a lack of knowledge of what is available as contributing factors.
According to the survey, several members of the community could benefit from being educated on the specialists and services at MMH, financial aid assistance availability, services for continuum of care outside of assisted living and nursing home care, resources available for those who are uninsured, mental health provider options and unhealthy youth behaviors such as substance abuse and teen pregnancy.
The lack of local child care providers and transportation problems associated with price and scheduling were also discussed.
MMH Administrator John Ayoub encourages people to show up at the last community health needs assessment meeting, scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 26 at 5:30 p.m. at the Event Center. A light meal will be provided at the meeting.
At the meeting, the district will present ideas on possible ways to address some of the issues outlined in the survey. While some areas the district can approach on their own, Ayoub acknowledged that other areas will require a cooperative effort from multiple community groups.
MMH passes unannounced state surveys with flying colors
The State of Colorado unexpectedly arrived at MMH recently for the purpose of conducting two surveys—the State of Colorado licensure survey and the federal Medicare Conditions of Participation survey.
The licensure survey ensures that health care facilities meet set standards of service and quality in compliance with state law and regulation. MMH was cited for one deficiency in the survey regarding updating policies. Ayoub said they are already in the process of creating and submitting a plan of correction.
"This was the best survey this organization has ever had, and I think you should be proud of the work the staff did and does and certainly be proud of the results," Ayoub told board members at their monthly meeting.
The Medicare Conditions of Participation survey determines whether a citation of non-compliance is appropriate, based on violations of the statute of regulations. MMH had no deficiencies during the survey.
Although it is not completely unheard of to have zero deficiencies, Ayoub said he was extremely pleased with the results.
"At the end of the day, I am very proud of our organization and the results we attained," Ayoub said.
Critical access hospitals could be stripped of status
Ayoub also took time to inform council members that a report released a few weeks ago by the Office of Inspector General recommends the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to seek legislative authority to decertify critical access hospitals that do not meet location requirements.
The location requirement states that critical access hospitals must be more than a 35-mile drive from a hospital or another critical access hospital or be separated by more than a 15-mile drive through mountainous terrain or areas where only secondary roads are available from other hospitals or another critical access hospital.
Although Holyoke does not meet the location requirements, it was able to keep its status in the past as a critical access hospital because it was deemed a "necessary provider."
If it is decided to move forward with reviewing hospitals and stripping hospitals of their critical access statuses, over 800 hospitals nationwide would lose their designation, including MMH.
Ayoub noted that OIG has been forthright that the decision is based on saving money. He believes they have failed to consider that a lot of the organizations would not survive if they lost their critical access designation. Areas could lose hospitals, lose access to care and the quality of care could drop. He stated that the proposition would not do service to anyone in rural America.
Viaero Wireless to put up towers on MMH land
Board members authorized Ayoub to sign a contract allowing the sale of a plot of land on hospital grounds to Viaero Wireless for the purpose of building a 4G tower.
The tower will benefit residents of the city who use Viaero and will boost the Viaero signal within the hospital.
Earlier this summer, MMH installed cell signal boosters that increased cell reception in the hospital for those on Verizon Wireless. The Viaero tower will allow MMH to increase cell coverage for Viaero without purchasing more wireless boosters.
The tower also serves as a safety precaution for MMH. As of now, there is only one hardline for internet access at the hospital. If the hardline is cut, the hospital loses internet connectivity. As MMH moves away from paper medical records with the implementation of the electronic medical records, losing internet connection would mean that MMH staff would have no access to patient information. Running fiber connection to the tower will allow the hospital to stay connected at all times.
Other business
In other business Aug. 27, board members:
—agreed to appoint Melissa Prante to the Melissa Memorial Hospital Corporation board.
—entered in executive session for 20 minutes for the purpose of negotiations and personnel.
—announced that the next board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 24.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and Players'
Association head Donald Fehr met Saturday as the two sides continue
negotiations toward a new collective bargaining agreement.
"I spent a few minutes with Gary talking about the overall situation, and we
agreed to keep in touch," Fehr said. "I am sure we will talk again tomorrow. I
don't know whether will meet again tomorrow. That remains to be seen.
"I am not going to talk about the specifics, but in general we're trying to
discuss how do we find a way to make an agreement. How do we bridge the gap on
the major issues that are between us."
The crux of Saturday's discussions revolved around how hockey-related revenue
is made up and not the core economic issues that have divided the sides.
"Today was basically on HRR issues, definitions, clarifications and so forth,"
NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr said.
"The nature of what we were trying to do today was create certainty on
interpretations we've had over seven years of this CBA operation," NHL deputy
commissioner Bill Daly said.
The league has already canceled the entire preseason, and next week regular-
season games are likely to be on the chopping block. The regular season is
slated to start Oct. 11.
The owners locked out the players when the previous CBA expired at 11:59 p.m.
(ET) on Sept. 15. Friday brought the first formal negotiating session since
the lockout began.
Money, specifically revenues earmarked to players, remains at the center of
the controversy. Under the expired CBA, players received 57 percent of hockey
revenue. Owners reportedly want to reduce that number to as low as 47 percent.
"Their position on the big stuff has been that a major move consists of
changing the players' share from a reduction of 24 percent to 17 1/2
percent," Donald Fehr said. "Our initial proposal made a move in their
direction. We have amplified that by giving them several different ideas to
consider about how to lengthen the agreement to the kind of length more in
line with what they wanted. I don't think it's anybody's turn. I think my
brother said yesterday, 'it's not a ping-pong match.'"

COP17: China confirms its official position
- Date
- 22 November 2011
BEIJING: Today Xie Zhenhua, Vice Chairman, National Development and Reform Commission, distributed a White Paper on China's climate change policies which confirmed the country's official position for COP17 in Durban.
Xie Zhenhua shared the 2011 White Paper of China's Policy and Actions in Responding to Climate Change at a press conference that he hosted today.
The White Paper outlines a confirmation of China's official position for Durban COP17, which includes:
- A second commitment period of the Kyoto is a must for the international process to continue the efforts to address climate change
- China, like other developing countries expects some specific steps and plans worked out for the delivering of the commitments that industrial countries have made at Copenhagen and Cancun, including the financial support, technology support and transfer, among others
- China has been making - and will continue to make - its own efforts domestically to tackle climate change challenges through restructuring of its economy and industry, improving energy efficiency, developing and deploying non-fossil fuel energy, greening its land, and educating the public to change their consumption behaviors
- China will work with international community to consider what further commitments are needed on the basis of the upcoming 2015 scientific assessment results.
The White Paper also stated that the continued domestic commitments and efforts that China will make, do not depend on how the international process goes.
While making all kinds of policy targets domestically, Chinese government has also started to establish various mechanisms to ensure the enforcement and implementation of those targets, through the "responsibility system" (statistics, monitoring and review), supportive financing mechanism, R&D, key projects and products and consumers' lifestyle.
Changhua Wu, Greater China Director, The Climate Group says: 'Overall, there is not much new in the White Paper, but it is a good communication tool to have all this information together to present to the international community what China has been doing, and what China continues to commit to in China's Clean Revolution. It is obvious that Durban won't be an easy journey either, with a most critical disagreement around the future of the second commitment period of Kyoto. China (Basic 4) and other developing countries have restated their insistency on this leading up to Durban. But overall China is in a relatively more favorable situation compared to Copenhagen, in particular with its clear track record of domestic efforts and progress made so far, and more importantly the 12th Five-Year Plan's green and low carbon growth strategy being adopted and implemented now domestically. As Minister Xie stated in the press conference, China has never got any financial and technological support from other industrialized countries, but has committed its efforts to achieve green and low carbon economic transformation, and will continue to do so."
You can see Changhua Wu speaking on CCTV English Channel tonight at 8:00pm for more commentary.

The Sandhills
There's one word that most everyone thinks of when it comes to this area: Golf, with a capital "G." And with supreme reason — the Sandhills region boasts 43 golf courses within a 15-mile radius, distinguished golf history and has such a first-rate reputation that the 2014 U.S. Men's and Women's Open will be played here (on the famous No. 2 course in Pinehurst).
A word most people don't usually mention is "horses." But in Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen and other Sandhills communities, equine pursuits are passionately pursued. Their sandy trails and rolling pastureland have attracted equestrian enthusiasts, breeders and trainers for years. The area is a significant center for Olympic equine training and qualifying, and sees some of the country's finest standardbred harness horses, trotters and pacers, as well as hunting, racing and steeplechase thoroughbreds.
From polo to fox hunting, there are numerous equestrian events to enjoy. A good place to start is the Harness Track in Pinehurst, where you can watch jockeys and their horses hone cart and harness racing skills. The facility has been a winter training center for standardbred horses since 1915. Champion trotters and pacers train there from October through May 1, roughly 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Saturday. In summer and early fall, it hosts horse shows and other community events such as dog shows and rugby matches. (800) 644-TROT or www.villageofpinehurst.org
The little, unassuming eatery there called the Pinehurst Track Restaurant is open year-round, seven days a week. This local institution is owned by former harness racing track legend Real "Coco" Cormier and his wife. (Breakfast served daily; Wednesday through Sunday hours include lunch.) Touted for its blueberry pancakes, the restaurant's waitresses also serve scrumptious butterscotch pancakes and tasty diner fare such as home fries and club sandwiches. (910) 295-2597.
Whether you want to see horses, ride yours, drive a carriage or simply walk awhile, visit the Walthour-Moss Foundation, a 4,000 acre-plus nature preserve about a mile from Southern Pines. World-class drivers and horse riders come here for its trails. It's a true wildlife refuge, where you may spot the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker as well as deer, raccoons and fox. Open daily, sunrise to sunset. (910) 695-7811 or www.walthour-moss.org
For horseback riding (rentals and lessons), call the Equestrian Center at McLendon Hills in West End (about seven miles from Pinehurst). (910) 673-4971or www.mclendonhills.com
Horse-drawn carriage rides are available in Pinehurst (30-minute tours). (910) 235-8456.
Major equine activities extend into Hoke County, too. Carolina Horse Park at Five Points in Raeford (about 25 minutes south of Southern Pines) is a nationally recognized facility. The interested public can watch the 250-acre park's jumping, hunting and dressage shows and competitions. All are free, too, except its popular Stoneybrook Steeplechase, set for Saturday, April 7. Steeplechase racing puts thoroughbred horses over various fences in dazzling tests of speed, power and stamina. In addition to watching championship racing, you can enjoy hat contests, a mechanical bull, beer garden, climbing wall, bounce houses, pony rides, stick horse racing and a petting zoo. $25 for advance tickets; $30 on race day. Discounts available for military and select Harris Teeters. (910) 875-2074 or www.carolinahorsepark.com
You can score big in downtown Southern Pines, which has fashion boutiques, gift shops, coffee shops and bistros. Fun stops include Art Nutz Gourmet Gallery, River Jack Trading Co. and C. Cups Cupcakery. The historic Village of Pinehurst is laid out New England-style, with restored historic buildings, charming restaurants such as Lady Bedfords Tea Parlour and specialty shops such as Green Gate Olive Oils, where you can sample dozens of quality oils and other gourmet wares. Aberdeen's Historic District also has enchanting discoveries, including Old Silk Route (Asian-inspired furniture and tapestries) and European pastries at The Bakehouse. As far as antiques, you can hunt and gather novel, rare items in all three towns. If you have the time, drive out to Cameron, a historic village brimming with antique shops. Its Spring Antiques Street Fair is Saturday, May 5. (910) 245-3055 or www.antiquesofcameron.com
Sandhills Horticultural Gardens
Located at Sandhills Community College, east of Pinehurst, its paths wind around to reveal 14 themed gardens, including a whimsical children's garden, a new Japanese garden and a formal English garden with a fountain courtyard. Admission is free (donations accepted). Open daily year-round. (910) 695-3882 or www.sandhillshorticulturalgardens.com
Malcolm Blue Farm
This antebellum farm in Aberdeen features a farmhouse with authentic furnishings of everyday life during the 1800s, a gristmill, well, barns and museum exhibits on the Blue family, Scottish settlers, lumbering, pioneer women, the Aberdeen and Rockfish Railroad, mourning etiquette, Civil War Battle of Monroe's Crossroads and more. The farm is usually open to visitors Friday and Saturday afternoons (except winter months) and hosts a Bluegrass Festival in late spring, a Historical Crafts and Farmskills Festival in September and a Christmas event.

Uncommon attractions
A fascinating military museum is tucked in back of Gulley's Garden Center in Southern Pines. Gulley's is a gem in itself, sporting creative displays like vintage gas pumps amid windmill palms and fragrant shrubs. But after you've browsed it, walk out back to the "Company Store" building. The military exhibit features rare posters, uniforms, weaponry, photographs and other memorabilia from the Civil War to Afghanistan amassed by co-owner and Vietnam veteran Pete Gulley. (910) 692-3223 or www.gulleysgardencenter.com
Equally unexpected is the quirky but exceptional taxidermy/antique tool museum spanning three floors inside the tame-looking Christian Book Store in Southern Pines. A pastor founded the curious catacomb collection, and you'll see fervent messages about creationism throughout. A true slice of Americana you'll never see elsewhere, the award-winning taxidermy sections showcase more than 100 lifelike animals including a mother kangaroo with a baby in her pouch and a full mount timber wolf. The vintage tools include rare artifacts such as a blind carpenter's Braille gauge and an elephant trainer's tool. Money donations accepted. (910) 692-3471 or www.thecreationmuseum.com (Warning: the website doesn't do this attraction justice).

OLYMPIA — House Democrats rolled out a nearly $10 billion transportation package Wednesday that would boost taxes on gasoline, increase car tabs and even charge a bicycle fee to raise money.
The proposal would increase the state gas tax by 10 cents over five years, eventually reaching a total of 47.5 cents per gallon. Washington currently has the nation's ninth-highest gas tax.
In addition, it would create a car-tab tax equal to 0.7 percent of a vehicle's value — $140 for a $20,000 car.
There's even a $25 sales fee on bicycles worth $500 or more that would raise $1 million over 10 years, a nod to motorists who complain that bicyclists don't pay their fair share.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
Overall, the package — likely to be debated for much of the legislative session — would plow billions of dollars into highway projects such as extensions of Highways 167 and 509, as well as Interstate 405 lanes, and ferry operations and terminals. It also would provide money to help build a new Columbia River bridge to Portland, widen Interstate 90 at Snoqualmie Pass and reduce Interstate 5 congestion around Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
House Democratic leaders want to try to pass a transportation package in the Legislature — or, if that doesn't work, send a proposal to voters.
"The plan puts $10 billion to work and is investing in the future of the state," said House Transportation Chairwoman Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer Island. "It will fund the projects that fight gridlock, improve safety and definitely promote economic development."
But the initial proposal leaves out any money for the underfunded Highway 520 floating bridge. Clibborn said Wednesday she still expects tolls on the I-90 bridge to help close the 520 bridge's $1.4 billion shortfall.
In addition, the plan offers no relief for the tolling crisis in the future Highway 99 tunnel. A 2009 law requiring $400 million in tolls for the Seattle tunnel has been gutted by reality, as state planners now figure they can raise at most $165 million through the tolls. Even at that, they would create a risk of traffic diversion into downtown streets.
The Democrats' proposal sets aside around $1 billion for maintenance of state highways and local roads. There's also money for public transportation and the State Patrol.
The plan offers King County Metro Transit the power to raise car-tab taxes by a County Council vote, or a citizen ballot, by an additional $70 per $10,000 of vehicle value; and the same power to Community Transit in Snohomish County, by a citizen ballot.
Metro might be able to raise $55 million a year this way, not quite a tenth of the annual operating budget. Earlier this year, General Manager Kevin Desmond warned of severe cuts, if state aid and a temporary $20 county car-tab fee expire in 2014 without replacement.
A coalition of business, labor and environmental groups is pushing the Legislature to advance some transportation package this session. Spokesmen for several groups called the House package a good start but expect it to change.
While there's apparently broad support among interest groups, there's no consensus in the coalition on the projects and services the package should pay for, or how to fund them.
Mike Ennis, government-affairs director for the Association of Washington Business (AWB), said his organization has concerns about a boost in the hazardous-substance tax, which is primarily paid by oil refineries. The tax would increase 0.3 percent, to 1 percent, to fund $897 million in road-related fish and stormwater projects.
Ennis said car-tab increases are also a concern, noting that Tim Eyman's Initiative 695 pressured lawmakers to slash the statewide car-tab to $30 more than a decade ago. "Eyman is likely going to be lurking with any increase" approved by lawmakers, Ennis said.
Jeff Johnson, president of the Washington State Labor Council, said he likes the mix of projects including highways, transit and ferries, but would like to see more money overall.
"The coalition would like to work with (the House transportation chair) and others to see if we can't beef that package up more," he said.
Business groups on Wednesday also said they want to see more money set aside for maintenance of highways.
House Republican leaders said they saw little in the package they liked, and raised concerns about the size of the gas-tax increase.
Rep. Ed Orcutt, R-Kalama, the ranking Republican on the House Transportation Committee, said the Legislature should put off consideration of a tax package.
"Our priority is that we need to spend the next two years drilling down into the cost drivers, and figure out how to make our tax dollars go further, and we should make sure our tax dollars go further before we reach further into the taxpayers' pocket," he said.
Democrats control the state House and the Governor's Office. Republicans control the Senate.
Despite Democrats' 55-43 House majority, they would need Republican votes to pass a tax package.
Under current state law, it would take a two-thirds vote in the state House and Senate to approve most of the funding proposals in the House package, including the gas tax and car tabs.
The state Supreme Court is currently considering a case that argues the two-thirds requirement is unconstitutional. Some Democrats want to push for the Legislature to approve a transportation tax package if the court throws out the supermajority requirements.
If the court upholds the law, Democrats say it will most likely have to go to voters.
Voters in urban Snohomish, King and Pierce counties in 2007 rejected a "Roads and Transit" measure to fund many of the same projects with car-tab and sales tax increases. A Sound Transit-only measure prevailed a year later.
Senate Transportation Committee co-chairman Curtis King, R-Yakima, said any package should go to the ballot, but he sees no need to do so this session because it's not clear voters are convinced of the need.
"It's a matter of – if we really go forward with a package – how do we inform the public to the point where they understand and are willing to support it? From where I stand, I don't think that would be before 2014. And it might even be 2015 or 2016," he said.
Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee did not say Wednesday whether he supported the specifics of the package. Rather, he said in a statement, "We can't afford to not take action and this is a job I expect the Legislature to accomplish. I'll be working with legislators on both sides of the aisle to craft a package that they can send to my desk for approval."

The process of providing anti-aging benefits to skin usually concentrates on three areas: Keeping skin properly hydrated, promoting skin cell health and encouraging the growth of new cells and, finally, introducing antioxidants to counteract free radicals. Pevonia Botanica Tropicale De-Aging uses all three approaches, but with two different paths. The emollients in the Pevonia Botanica Tropicale De-Aging line provides moisture for the skin, while protecting the cells from excessive loss of moisture. Safflower seed oil, squalane oil, shea butter and hyaluronic acid all act as wonderfully hydrating ingredients and help skin cells maintain the correct balance of moisture. The sea salt in the saltmousse gently debrides dead skin cells, ridding the pores and follicles of debris, while it also cleanses environmental contaminants. The balm's marine collagen and elastin polypeptides nourish the skin tissue, providing the building blocks that allow skin cells to grow and strengthening the dermis.
The Pevonia Botanica Tropicale De-Aging series has two different ways of supplying antioxidants. One way uses papain and bromelain, found in papaya and pineapple enzymes. Another set uses lutein, mangiferin and lycopene, found in mango and passion fruit.
By making available both a papaya-pineapple combination and a mango-passion fruit pairing, Pevonia Botanica Tropicale De-Aging offers you marvelous choices. Each of these combinations offers their own benefits. The papain-bromelain combination in papaya and pineapple enzymes not only offers antioxidants but has an additional exfoliant effect. Papain is also an anti-inflammatory, soothing the skin, while bromelain has been shown to lighten the skin and counteract hyperpigmentation conditions. On the other hand, the lycopene found in passion fruit, not only acts as a powerful antioxidant but improves skin texture. Mango provides not just lutein, another antioxidant, but mangiferin. The xanthonoid mangiferin is unique to mangos and has been shown in medical studies to be a significant antioxidant. Mangos also provide a concentration of the antioxidant vitamins A, C and E.
Whichever path you choose, a cleansing with Pevonia De-Aging Saltmousse Papaya Pineapple (or Pevonia De-Aging Saltmousse Mango Passion Fruit) exfoliates dead skin cells and removing impurities from the dermis.
An application of Pevonia De-Aging Body Balm Papaya Pineapple (or Pevonia De-Aging Body Balm Mango Passion Fruit) after a shower or bath will allow an entire suite of effective emollients to hydrate and revive skin tissues. Marine collagen and elastin polypeptides offer necessary materials for skin tissue to rebuild and maintain a youthful, firm appearance. A refreshing interlude during the day can be enjoyed by a little spray of Pevonia De-Aging Mist Papaya Pineapple (or Pevonia De-Aging Mist Mango Passion Fruit). The mist nourishes and comforts the skin while providing hydrating and antioxidant extracts.

I've setup Evolution connector to Evolution 2.10. I've got the calendar working - and sofar it looks great.
If I create a meeting with someone - and accept it - it can send an e-mail to that person.
Though, I have several accounts setup in evolution - so how can I control what account it is sending from?
At first I thought it was the account marked as default - but that seems not to be the case? (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
The thing is that I NEED it to send though an external SMTP server - and NOT the Zimbra server... Right now it seems to work - but since I have 150 other accounts I would like to know how I can control what SMTP server to use?

(WUSA9/WTSP) -- Airline passengers have a their bill of rights and now some lawmakers are talking about enacting the same sort of laws for cruise ship passengers.
Just a day after Carnival flew home passengers from the stranded Dream cruise ship, one of its other ships - the Legend - limped back into the port of Tampa. The Legend developed propulsion after making only half its scheduled stops.
All this comes after thousands of Carnival passengers were stranded at sea on a powerless ship last month.
WTSP reports that New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer is pushing for a Bill of Rights for cruise passengers. He says there are six basic things passengers should be guaranteed:
- Backup power generators
- Medical staff onboard
- Crew trained for emergencies
- Access to real-time information about delays and changes
- Ability to leave a ship docked at a port if food or sanitation onboard are not adequate
- A full refund for a trip canceled mid-cruise by mechanical or other major problems

Semi-complex idea, more easily seen than explained, but here we go.
I was re-reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone recently (notice I bring those books up a lot...I think they're brilliant) to get a feel for the way J.K. Rowling passes an entire year in a fairly short book that feels content packed, and I noticed something very common which I hadn't previously put any thought to.
With respect to the passage of time, the book's voice changed drastically here and there. For great lengths, it would follow the minute-to-minute actions of the character, i.e. "Harry walked to the bathroom and donned an owl costume. Thus clad, he ran out among the crowds of Rockefeller Plaza and began to scream at random, throwing his arms in the air and leaping wildly."
But at other times the voice would zoom out and pass hours in a sentence:
"Hermione didn't turn up for the next class and wasn't seen all afternoon."
Maybe this seems simple, or obvious, but I think it's a tiny piece of brilliance, and something that all good writers can do and frequently do do but which does not necessarily come easily to new writers and which maybe many people don't think about.
I see this happen with days, weeks, months, even years. And it isn't trivial to just drop it in there. In fact I've found it's very easy to interrupt the flow of your writing by shifting the rate of time passage in anything less than the smoothest manner.
So the question is: how to cleanly change time scale and avoid making a somewhat jarring break in temporal continuity? How to go from following a character second-to-second to briefly relating what the character did over the afternoon, the summer, the rest of his forties? Tips/Exercises for practice are always good, if anyone knows any clever ones.

I really like this map, in particular the tents which have a pleasing hand-drawn quality. The overall colour scheme looks great and the scale feels right too. Good job Mark.
With the 105th Map of the Week we look at the covert Sawblade Ruin encampment of the evil Society of Immortal Darkness.
Sawblade was an Æsir thorp that fell into ruin at the end of the Great Wars. Today it is a mere shadow of its former self, standing isolated from the rest of the Royal County in Southwood Fortress near the northern border of Slovania. The few wooden buildings in Sawblade Ruin today serve the cult of the dark draug Mýsing in the ruins of Garndi's Crossing, in the fallen Æsir Empire to the north, who hopes to become a deity. The chief priest of Mýsing in Sawblade Ruin, the black necromancer Steindór, recruits evil Slovanian spellcasters as new priests of Mýsing. They receive their initial training in Sawblade Ruin.
Key to the map of Sawblade Ruin.
1. Black Temple. Training center for the Society of Immortal Darkness.
2. Orc Camp.
3. Watchtower.
4. Greenwood Creek.
5. Wood-Drying Shed.
6. Sawmill.
7. Woodshed.
8. House of Immortal Darkness. Dwelling of the human inhabitants of Sawblade Ruin. The draugs dwell in the light-shielded cellar.
9. Trail: Hrolfsthorp to Southwood Fortress.
You can get the map in two versions:
1. The Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 version in FMP format, fully editable, from our Jörðgarð web page (23 MB).
2. A JPG flat map of 3000 Pixels x 2100 Pixels (3 MB), available above.

I have searched and found some mention but I was hoping to solicit more direct assistance. I currently run Spamassassin with a custom script instead of amavisd-new on several mail servers. I installed razor, pyzor, and DCC and drastically improved my spam detection. I've even added a few .cf's from other sources. I've always been pleased with the results and have been able to effectively keep up with spam as well as anyone could expect.
Could anyone share some success stories with adding pyzor/razor/dcc or other configs to Zimbra? Is there any easy method of implementing this or is it not worth the work?
Thanks in advance

Swimming and Diving Season Preview
AMES, Iowa – This season marks the 17th year that Duane Sorenson will be leading Iowa State into competition as the head coach of the swimming and diving team. During his tenure, every school record previously held at Iowa State has fallen. Yet, the expectation is to have the best season in school history.
"I want to help lead my team to the best season that Iowa State has ever had," said senior team captain and middle distance specialist Alex Gustafson. "I'm doing it all for the last time, so I'm really trying to make everything the best that I can."
In addition to a talented and highly touted freshman class, the Cyclones will be returning 23 athletes from a team that finished fifth overall at the Big 12 Championships last March. Sorenson and his staff have been preparing all summer to contend for the conference title in the 2013-14 season.
"The door is open," Sorenson said. "We just have to step through."
Led by redshirt senior and two time team captain (2012-13, 2013-14) Jessica Henderson, the Iowa State divers plan to be a big part of the Cyclone's success this season. After three top-three finishes in Iowa State's first two meets of the 2012-13 seasons, Henderson's junior year was cut short by a concussion. After a long layoff, head diving coach Jeff Warrick is excited to see her back on the boards.
"We're expecting big things from her this year," said Warrick. "You can see that competitiveness start to come out."
The Cyclones will also be leaning on 2012-13 most valuable diver Elyse Brouillette. As a freshman, Brouillette lead Iowa State on all three boards, becoming fourth overall in school history on all three boards, and ultimately earning her newcomer of the year in the 2012-13 season. After finishing fourth on 1-meter, ninth on 3-meter and fifth on platform at the Big 12 Championships, Brouillette anticipates similar results for all of ISU's divers this year.
"I would really love to see all three of us divers make it to Zones this year and place in the top 10 at the Big 12 Championship," said Brouillette.
Breaststroke and IM
Under Sorenson, the breaststroke events have become a strength for the Cyclones. Since 1998, Iowa State has received Big 12 honors 20 times for breaststroke events. With the senior leadership of school record holders Emily Wiltsie (200 breaststroke) and Imelda Wistey (100 breaststroke), the Cyclones are well positioned to continue earning conference recognition.
Sorenson recognizes that in order to achieve their goals at the Big 12 Championships, reaching the finals in the 200 breaststroke must be a priority.
"The events that we really need to improve on are 200 breaststroke, 200 fly, and 100 free," said Sorenson. "Those are the three races that we didn't have anyone in the finals at in the Big 12's on the final day."
If 2013-14 team caption Emily Wiltsie can perform at her record-breaking pace, Iowa State can count on a high finish in the 200 breaststroke at the conference meet in March. Looking to add depth to the event, Imelda Wistey has been training for the 200 breaststroke throughout the offseason.
"Imelda was a finalist in the 100 breaststroke," explained Sorenson. "And we are trying to get her mentally and physically to the point where she can be a finalist in [the 200 breaststroke]."
The Cyclones will be returning a core group of swimmers in the individual medley events consisting of Sarah Deis, Wistey, Ali Sterns, Kristy Kunkel, and Wistey; leading the charge is the junior Deis. With a top 10 finish in the 400 IM at last year's conference meet, Deis will be called upon to earn the Cyclones points at the Big 12 Championship once again this spring.
Butterfly and Backstroke
Bre Loeschke had arguably the best season of any Iowa State swimmer in backstroke events in recent years. The Minnesota native broke the Iowa State school record in the 200 backstroke at the Big 12 Championships last year with a time of 1:56.90. She also finished in fifth in the 100 backstroke on her way to earning 2012-13 most improve swimmer honors. The Cyclones will once again be relying on the junior to score points at the conference meet this year.
Sorenson and the Cyclones will enjoy some depth in the roster for the butterfly events as a handful of freshmen including Savanna Townsend, McKenzie Goudreau, and Michaela Kinter join the squad. Senior Carissa Poeschel and Junior Elizabeth Kleiner will be leading the effort in the butterfly events.
Poeschel, who finished 17th and 18th in the 100 and 200 butterfly, respectively, at last year's Big 12 Championship, will continue to be a source of points for Iowa State throughout the upcoming season. Kleiner, Iowa State's top 200 flier, will also be looking for a finalist spot at the conference meet this season.
"Elizabeth Kleiner, on paper, is our fastest 200 flier," Sorenson said. "Hopefully she can put together a good season and a good Big 12 meet in the 200 fly to be a finalist in that event."
After setting the school record in the 50 freestyle as a freshman, two-time ISU most valuable swimmer Amanda Paulson only improved during her sophomore year. After racking up eight first-place finishes in her signature event, Paulson finished sixth at the conference meet last year despite being sick throughout the championships.
"She started the first night out on fire in relays and individually in the 50 free," recalled Sorenson on Paulson's Big 12 Championship performance. "If she would have been healthy, she would have been a finalist in the 100 free."
Senior teammate Katie Vollhaber also had a memorable performance at the Big 12 Championships during her junior year posted three top 15 times in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, and the 200 freestyle: 14th, 12th, and 10th, respectively.
"Katie Vollhaber has really got a lot more confidence," Sorenson said. "Both of them [Paulson and Vollhaber] have a shot to be in the finals of the 100 free."
The Cyclones are adding depth to their freestyle events with a talented batch of freshmen including Megan Childs, Goudreau, Brooke Evensen, Townsend, Maddie Rastall, and Karyl Clarete. Middle distance specialist and Canadian native Clarete burst onto the scene during Iowa State's annual intrasquad meet by outpacing the field in the 500 freestyle by over eight seconds. Clarete is still very much in the middle of a transition from swimming meters to yards, but she has started her career at Iowa State on a high note as she looks to be a major contributor to the team this season.
"Karyl is going to be a big point scorer for us," said Sorenson.
Iowa State opens competition against former Big 12 rival Nebraska at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday in Lincoln.

The Child Marriage of a Little Girl in Yemen
Marriage is a Scary Thing for a Child
Nujood Ali was ten years old when she was married off by her father to a much older man, who promised her family that he would not bed her until she turns 17. He lied to them. On their wedding night, the man took her virginity. Over the next few weeks he proceeded to beat her and rape her, until she finally managed to get up the courage to run away.
Nujood went straight to the court house where she waited hours to see a judge and asked for a divorce. The judge was shocked that a girl so young was not only married, but asking for a divorce. After much debate and numerous lies by the defense, Nujood was granted her divorce.
What Happened to Her Next?
Through donations, Nujood was given enough money to help her family live more comfortably. She was also able to resume her schooling. In 2008, Nujood was named Glamour Magazine's "Woman of the Year."

Expertly formulated, The Art of Shaving Shampoos remove accumulated grime and environmental contaminants from hair without stripping off the important oils that keep the strands supple and healthy. In the course of a day, hair acts as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, particulates created by pollution, smoke and smells from the air. These contaminants cling to the hair shafts and gather at the roots. Extremes of heat and cold, dry air and ultraviolet radiation from the sun also cause stress to the hair and scalp.
The Art of Shaving Shampoos clean impurities from the hair, controlling flaked skin from the scalp and repairing damage, without weakening the hair shafts. The scalp is also maintained with nourishing and moisturizing ingredients to stimulate hair growth, maintain the proper pH and control excess flaking. The Art of Shaving Shampoos do not contain harsh detergents or artificial scents or dyes, so the scalp does not become irritated and the hair does not become dry and brittle. The Art of Shaving Shampoos are gentle yet effective. Even if used every day, they do not overwork your hair.
The reason that The Art of Shaving Shampoos are so effective is because they are a part of a program of hair, skin and shaving care designed by experts. Each stage in the regimen has been created to work with the others, building clean, healthy hair, full of body of shine as well as a smoothly shaved face. The Art of Shaving is a daily experience that allows you to achieve a high level of personal grooming.
Used as a first stage in this hair care program, The Art of Shaving Shampoo – Rosemary cleanses hair of accumulated dirt, dust, smoke and other contaminants accumulated over a day. The Art of Shaving Shampoo – Rosemary, designed for all hair types, scrubs off these particles and impurities without scouring off the necessary oils that keep hair strong and supple. The harmonized blend of coconut oil, olive oil and jojoba seed oil works together to strengthen and repair hair shafts without leaving a greasy residue. These ingredients leave the hair clean, full and glowing with health.
The scalp is also treated to promote maximum health. The Art of Shaving Shampoo – Rosemary removes accumulated flakes, old oils and other residues from the scalp while hydrating and cleaning the skin. Opening the pores, cleaning the hair follicle openings and maintaining a proper pH promotes healthy hair growth. Apple cider vinegar and horsetail extract, ingredients included in The Art of Shaving Shampoo – Rosemary, provide natural disinfectants to protect the scalp. The essential oils provide a subtle, satisfying rosemary scent with floral tones.

On Hawaii's most populated island of O'ahu, there's a large selection of hotels and resorts that appeal to a wide range of tastes. Not only a leisure destination, the island also is home to the capital city of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. During my week on the island, I experienced three distinctly different hotels, all of which demonstrated of the aloha spirit of Hawaii.
Aulani Resort & Spa isn't just for the Disney obsessed, but those folks won't be disappointed either. One of the most family-friendly resorts in the world, Aulani is also an exceptional property for discerning, grown-up tastes. Visitors won't find a gimmicky, Hawaiian-themed hotel. Instead, Aulani is a sophisticated and beautiful resort that celebrates the history of Hawaii. In designing Aulani, Walt Disney Imagineers worked closely with historians and local artisans to create a property that also honors Hawaiian culture and traditions. This is most apparent in the ceiling mural in the open-air lobby.
Located about thirty minutes from Waikiki Beach in the tranquil Ko Olina Resort Community & Marina, Aulani is situated on the beach and is surrounded by mountains. The lush grounds are filled with numerous pools and water features, while the beach is the ideal place to relax in the loungers, snorkel, kayak, or build sand sculptures. Scavenger hunts, fireside stories, Aunty's Beach House, movie nights, and breakfast with Disney characters, are just some of the activities available for kids. Though, adults aren't forgotten at Aulani. Two cocktail lounges provide the perfect spot for relaxing with a mai tai. Laniwai Spa is most impressive and features O'ahu's only outdoor hydrotherapy garden. The facilities and treatments are purely indulgent, giving visitors the ultimate spa experience.
With 359 hotel rooms, sixteen of which are suites, and 481 Disney Vacation Club Villas, including 21 Grand Villas, Aulani is a large property with options to suit every guest's needs. The beautifully decorated rooms feature soothing tones and layers of texture. Balconies are standard for all rooms, and even the most discriminating guest will appreciate the very subtle Disney touches.
Although Aulani is geared toward families, it also is a sophisticated option on O'ahu that brings out the kid in everyone.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence says his wife is at home and resting a day after undergoing surgery to remove her gallbladder.
Pence said Friday that he believes first lady Karen Pence is on her way to a quick recovery.
The 56-year-old Pence had the outpatient operation Thursday after experiencing abdominal pain the day before and going to an emergency room.
The governor says he and his wife are grateful for all the prayers and concern many people have expressed for her.
The Pences have been married since 1985 and have three grown children.

Running Windows XP Pro, SP2
I installed and ran the application fine for a couple days before it stopped working -- launcher stated that it was 'giving up'. Apparently the service was stopped. Unfortunately, I can't get it started again. Reinstallation (after following the wiki instructions for a manual uninstall) results in the following...
The zDesktop.exe service WILL start, and run for approximately 1 second before crashing with an error.
The dialog box that pops up includes the following under Error Signature:
szAppName : zdesktop.exe szAppVer : 0.0.0.0 szModName : ntdll.dll
szModVer : 5.1.2600.2180 offset : 00001010
The application event log is no more helpful...
Faulting application zdesktop.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x00001010.

I have tried uninstalling every other java version on the machine, in case there was some conflict? No dice.
At this point, I am at a loss. I have no idea where to look for clues or what is causing the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
