Second : I would like to archive mails in outlook from the zdb file .
So I would like to make a rule ; all mails older than 2 months go into pst file "archive", and then remove the mails from the inbox.
Is this setup possible ? (I would like to do this to free some space on the server)
I guess in this setup the mails are deleted from the server and saved into the local pst file ?

Harrelson says he isnt so sure he wants to return to that world. He explains, I'm sure it will happen if everyone does it, but I'm not sure it's the right thing to do. As one of the everyones who would have to do it, whether or not he thinks its the right thing to do is sort of important. And Harrelson says, I don't feel like a sequels guy. Woodys talked openly about how great he thought the first movie was, so why wouldnt he want to do another one?

Southern Utah University senior nutrition majors Sarah Lundin and Brooke Jorgensen said that they were required to do a nutrition intervention project in the community for their community nutrition class. Having grown up in homes with siblings who were choosy about their cuisine, both girls said that they chose to use picky eating as their topic in hopes of offering parents some new ideas to help convince their children that new foods were worth trying, and in turn help them get the nutrition that picky eaters are sometimes deprived of.
To start of the evening's discussion, USU Extension nutrition education assistant Danielle Wenn shared the newest USDA standard "My Plate" with attendees. She said the standard was implemented around 2010, because many people had difficulty deciphering the pyramid standard.
"When someone looked at the pyramid and saw that they should have six cups of grains it made it difficult for people to measure," Wenn said. "People would say 'Well, I don't know how much six cups should look like' so they would just get frustrated and give up."
The brightly colored, easy to understand, "My Plate" guide makes portion ideas much easier to quantify by splitting the plate into four slightly unequal sections that include fruits and vegetables, protein and grains, plus an additional section outside of the plate that includes dairy.
As the evening moved on and the students took over and engaged the audience in conversation, it quickly became obvious that the biggest problem parents in the room were facing was how to get their children to eat their ever-evasive veggies.
Lundin said that getting young ones involved in preparing new foods that they are about to try is one effective way to get a skeptical child to try foods they may be leery of. Since all children are different however, she said not to be discouraged if that does not work, but instead to make a deal with the reluctant eater that they only have to try one bite.
Jorgensen said that often times if a child is exposed to a new food a multiple of times, on separate occasions, they will eventually begin to like it and even ask for it at mealtime. She said she grew up in a home with picky siblings and the one bite rule works most times as long as her parents stayed consistent.
Some other ideas included mixing the food of interest into other foods so they are no longer predominant on the plate; not mentioning how picky they are in front of them before presenting a new food; and plating foods in fun and imaginative ways. Turning a sandwich into puzzle pieces with a fun shaped cookie cutter, or building a banana person with chocolate chip eyes, and pretzel arms and legs were just a couple of the fun ideas shared that evening.
Of all of the information shared at the picky eaters seminar Wednesday evening, Wenn said that she believed the most important thing parents should have taken away from the experience was the importance of not giving up.
"Just try your best and don't give up," she said. "If you think you're a failure at parenting, because your kid will only eat certain things, you're not, just try different things and don't let consume your life."

Home is the nicest word there is.
– Laura Ingalls Wilder
It takes a lot of living to make a house a home
It doesn't make any difference how rich you get to be
How much your chairs and tables cost, how great your luxury
It isn't home to you though it be the palace of a king,
Until somehow your soul is wrapped round everything.
– Paraphrase of Edgar Guest poem, Home
A home is one of the most sacred of places.
It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the world's perils and alarms.
It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary retire to gather new strength for the
battle and toils of tomorrow.
It is the place where love learns its lessons,
where life is schooled into discipline and strength, where character is molded.

Collision Damage Repair - Healin' Hidden DamageWritten by on October 9, 2012
Emergency Surgery For an Ol' Hinge Injury
First impressions can be deceiving indeed. The term "hidden damage" is perhaps most commonly used by collision repair professionals, but garage hobbyists, rodders, and restorers of ol' pickup trucks are not exempt from such surprises.
Recently while peelin' the fenders off a '55 Second Series Chevrolet truck, we found ourselves confronted by underlying ugliness, which was no doubt the result of a front end collision. The discovery did not come as a complete surprise. Upon initial inspection, before any disassembly had begun, minor damage to the ol' truck's front framehorns was apparent. Lifting the truck's cab, however, revealed more serious damage. The still-diamond-shaped frame showed evidence of previous repair, which extended well under the cab's floor.
While my partner Mrs. Rotten and I have built a few trucks, it's never been without help from our friends. The needed frame repair was beyond our personal capabilities. So, while the truck's still-rolling chassis gets the onceover twice at Color by Woz and Dave's Wheel Alignment (both located in Riverside, California), you're all invited to our ol' familiar comfort zone—the garage, where we'll be tending to the cab's crash-related issues. This will include the "hidden damage" that we could not see before the truck's disassembly.

01.  At first. the ol' truck's fenders obscured our view of this caved-in section of cowl, which had been dismissed years ago. Even though this area will again be covered, we'll fix it properly this time around. In fact, this could be just the push I'll need to try out a new tool for the first time.02.  For the initial "rough-out" of the deeply dented cowl, this U.S. General football dolly will be the hot tip. This Harbor Freight score has been in my toolbox for several months, but I knew when I bought it on sale that it'd be useful on a day like today.03. Before any serious thumpin' could take place, the truck's cab was secured on a set of distinctive orange 'n' white jackstands. In this position we'll be able to access the majority of the cab's dings and dents.04.  Notice how the hinge mounting area of the jamb is puckered outward? That's a direct result of the truck's fenders being driven back upon frontal impact. Once the front door gaps had closed, something had to give. The peeled-away seam was likely caused by forcing the door open after the crash, and both sides were equally affected.05.  For the job at hand we'll require a proper G-clamp, the closest available body hammer, a custom-made dolly, and one used auto air-conditioning component (lower right). According to parts guru, Mike Ferguson of Ed Martin Garage in Riverside, California, it's Four Seasons part number 12693.06. So the idea here is to let the G-clamp do the work for us, while using ol' part number 12693 as a backing inside the hinge pocket.07. While this ain't exactly rocket science, or even rocket surgery for that matter, the G-clamp method of hinge pocket repair does lessen the amount of hammer 'n' dolly work, which this ol' dog's worn-out elbows truly appreciate.08.  With the aforementioned custom-made dolly held firmly against the inside of the previously puckered pocket, the final blows are light ones. Because the fenders were driven upward as well as back, the lower hinges were a little less traumatized.
10.  For quick cleanup of the freshly cut slot, a not-so-shiny, older Central Pneumatic die grinder with a 3M Scotch-Brite part number 07471 Clean & Strip Disc is all that's required. We now have a low-cost, cool tool for cleaning the threads of our caged nuts.11.  This method is far less likely to remove thread metal like a sharp tap probably would. Our pickup has responded favorably to the procedures you've witnessed so far. So with the remaining "rough-out" metalwork completed, the cab is now loaded on the trailer and prepped for the next step at our local abrasive blaster.12.  In light of everything our original door hinges have been through, we've opted to step up for complete new units from Brothers Truck Parts. The cab and frame will be reunited soon, using Brothers' cab mount set, and one way or another, uniform gapping is going to happen. It certainly is nice to be working on a truck we can get parts for.

The draft law is currently before the Judicial Committee and the Human Rights Committee of the lower house of parliament. Reports indicate that these committees recently approved an amendment criminalizing the vaguely defined act of "aggressive proselytizing" with fines or jail terms of up to three years.
"Romania is approaching a historic moment, as it stands at the door of accession into the European Union," said Helsinki Commission Co-Chairman Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ). "The parliament has the duty to ensure Romania upholds its religious freedom commitments, so I urge the withdrawal of the current draft and the removal of provisions limiting free speech. Religious speech is a fundamental part of religious liberty and must be protected."
In addition to the speech limitations, the draft would create the most burdensome registration system in the entire OSCE region, by creating a multi-tiered system where applicant religious communities for the most preferential status must wait 12 years and show their membership exceeds 0.1% of the population of Romania, or 23,000 persons. Of the 18 currently registered religious groups, approximately one-fourth would fail to meet the proposed numerical threshold.
"Ensuring the full realization of religious freedom in Romania in compliance with OSCE commitments is critical," said Helsinki Commission Ranking Member Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD). "Considering that Romania wishes to host a major OSCE meeting next year on tolerance, the Chamber must ensure its own laws promote that theme rather than discriminate against minority religious groups."
Efforts to improve the text last year were unsuccessful, as the draft was rushed to the Romanian Senate under "emergency procedures" before additional technical improvements could be made. The bill passed passively in the Senate in December, without modification, despite more than 60 substantive amendments that were never considered. The bill was registered with the Chamber of Deputies in February of this year.
"I have fought for religious freedom in Romania for years, and I am very troubled that such a regressive law is being considered," said Helsinki Commissioner Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R-VA). "I urge the Deputies reviewing the draft to respect international norms and eliminate the onerous tiered system of recognition, in favor of a system that provides one general status for all religious communities."
"In addition to the concerns expressed by my colleagues, I believe forcing 'religious associations' to wait more than a decade before qualifying for the highest 'religion' status is blatantly discriminatory," said Helsinki Commissioner Rep. Joseph R. Pitts (R-PA). "The 12-year moratorium amounts to a ban and should be eliminated. Romania should do more to uphold its OSCE commitments."

6JSC/CCC/10 Proposed revision to Appendix B.1 General Guideline to explicitly include the usage of units of measure expressed as symbols

General comments
Why not a reference to 1.7.1 Alternative and/or 1.7.5 Signs and Symbols instead of combining the symbol instruction with the abbreviation instruction, especially since the point is that the SI symbols are not abbreviations? Or perhaps it could be handled by stating the units of measure are symbols, following the introduction of "cm" as a symbol in 188.8.131.52, although I'm not sure where the SI units of measure are being applied.
-- Glennan (PCC) for Steven Arakawa, Yale University, 9/14/12
I agree with Steven: SI symbols are not abbreviations so it feels a bit strange to add this instruction in the abbreviation instruction. However, I don't think the statement could fit in 1.7.3 or 1.7.5 (like Steven proposed) because this section is about transcription, nor would it fit 184.108.40.206 because this section is about dimension. SI symbols can be used for dimension (cm) and also for speed (kpbs). They could potentially be used by agencies for time (s for second, for example) for volume (storage space: instead of describing a collection in terms of cubic ft., one could describe it in terms of cubic meter m3 [superscript] (i.e. m3). -- Dominique Bourassa, CC:DA, Sept. 17, 2012
Appendix B gives specific instructions on the use of abbreviations, and the alternative in B.1 is included to allow agencies to use different guidelines on the use of abbreviations instead if they want to. Since Appendix B does not contain instructions on the use of symbols (other than the by-the-way reminders that symbols are not abbreviations), there is no reason for B.1 to give an option to follow any other guidelines on the use of symbols. If the CCC wants clearance to use metric symbols where this appendix prescribes non-metric abbreviations (s instead of sec.), maybe that could be handled by rewording the B.1 alternative to say "in-house guidelines on the use of abbreviations, or on the use of symbols instead of abbreviations." --Robert J. Rendall 09:40, 19 September 2012 (PDT)
Constituency responses
ACOC: Text of response
Supports proposal.
Not clear how in-house guidelines can advance internationalization of RDA; if guidelines are based on an ISO standard, it might be better to refer to that as an alternative in the relevant instruction.
Prefer that Appendix B be renamed "Abbreviations and symbols"
Maybe this is the best approach (renaming Appendix B) --Patricia Dragon 9/19--
BL: Text of response
Accepts the intent of the proposal but wonders if greater prominence could be given to use of international standards. Suggests additional wording for alternative.
Agrees, with no additional comments: CILIP, LC, DNB.

Monday News, October 29
Remsen Man Killed During A Skid Loader Accident
(Remsen) -- A skid loader accident on Saturday cost the life of a Remsen man. 19 year old Alex Renken was pronounced dead at the scene. The investigation of the accident shows Renken was assisting Andrew Vaske, who was operating the skid loader. The two were putting fence posts into the ground. Renken was holding the posts while Vaske would push the posts into the ground with the skid loader. Vaske had put dirt into the bucket for added weight in pushing the posts. As Renken was holding a post, the skid loader began to tip forward, the weight in the bucket causing the skid loader to tip all the way forward. The skid loader bucket struck and pinned Renken. Renken's body was transported to Floyd Valley Hospital for examination. The investigation was conducted by the Plymouth County Sheriff's office. Assisting at the scene were the Remsen Fire Department, Remsen Ambulance, Mercy Air Care, and the Plymouth County Medical Examiner.
Mid-Sioux Opportunity To Sell "Mittens" To Help Needy
(Remsen) -- Mid-Sioux Opportunity, Inc. is hosting their fourth annual mitten fundraiser by partnering with local businesses in five counties to provide assistance to needy families. Proceeds go towards meeting the needs of families in Lyon, Sioux, Plymouth, Cherokee and Ida Counties. All of the funds raised will be used for direct services to families. The public can help by purchasing a mitten at any of the participating businesses for one dollar. Assistance may be in the form of clothing items, food, rental assistance, or utility assistance. In Le Mars, mittens can be purchased at the Pizza Ranch. Mittens at Remsen can be purchased at Mrs B's convenience store, American Bank, Iowa State Bank and at Mid-Sioux Opportunity. The Sioux-Per Center is selling the mittens at Sioux Center, and at Granville, mittens can be obtained at the Granville Short Stop. Mid-Sioux Opportunity is a community action agency that fights poverty on the local level serving five counties within northwest Iowa.
Assistance Available For Low Income Families To Pay Heating Bills
(Des Moines) -- The return of cold weather to the state is a reminder that you won't be able to keep your heater turned off all winter. Iowa Utilities Board spokesman, Rob Hillesland says the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is available to those who may struggle to pay that heating bill.
Listen to
Another benefit of being eligible for LIHEAP , is you are then protected on the utility shut off moratorium.
Listen to
He says you should check as soon as possible to see if you might be eligible for the program. Hillesland says the best thing to do is to contact your local community action agency, and if you don't know how to reach that agency, you can get information from the Iowa Department of Human Rights. The Human Rights Department has information available on its website at: www.dcaa.iowa.gov, or by calling 5-1-5-2-8-1-0-8-5-9. Applications for LIHEAP and the westernization program are accepted on a first come, first served basis.
Hospers Man Arrested For Aggravated Assault
(Hospers) -- Sioux County law enforcement officers have arrested a Hospers man following an incident that occurred on Sunday at about 3:22 a.m. 23 year old Gary Hovey was taken into custody after he allegedly had assaulted a person at the residence while a two year old child was present. The child was unharmed. When people came to the aid of the assaulted victim to assist her in leaving the residence, Hovey displayed a shotgun to threaten the people outside in attempt to make them leave. Hovey was arrested for domestic assault, a serious misdemeanor, assault with a firearm, an aggravated misdemeanor and child endangerment, an aggravated misdemeanor.
Fire Damages Sioux City Home
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say the residents weren't home when a fire broke out at a house in Sioux City.
Fire crews were dispatched to the house around 7:45 p.m. Sunday. Arriving firefighters found flames coming from the front door of the two-store house.
No injuries to firefighters were reported.
The fire cause is being investigated.
Grinnell Man Suffers Wounds From A Hunting Accident
GRINNELL, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say a 78-year-old Iowa man suffered minor wounds when he was struck in the face by two shotgun pellets.
The Iowa Natural Resources Department says Darrell Lamb, of Grinnell, was wounded Saturday morning while hunting pheasants in Poweshiek (POW'-shihk) County.
The department says a pheasant flushed between Lamb and three other members of his hunting party. They couldn't see him because of the topography and the height of the vegetation.
Lamb was treated at Grinnell Regional Medical Center and released.
Nursing Home Fined $8,000
CENTERVILLE, Iowa (AP) - State regulators have fined a nursing home in Centerville $8,000 after a woman who couldn't breathe died in front of family members.
Regulators were concerned about the circumstances of Barbara Logsdon's death on June 22nd.
The 64-year-old woman was under a doctor's order to have her airway suctioned periodically to clear phlegm, but regulators say the Golden Age Nursing and Rehabilitation Center failed to do that
before her death.
And because two of Logsdon's family members work at the home, they were present for her death.
Michael Hamm, who runs the nursing home company that owns the Centerville facility, declined to comment on Logsdon's death.
Two Men Hope To Clear Their Name in Trial
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Two men wrongly convicted in the 1977 murder of a retired Iowa police officer hope to prove that detectives framed them to solve a high-profile case.
During a trial that starts Wednesday in Des Moines, Terry Harrington and Curtis McGhee will argue that Council Bluffs officers coerced witnesses into fabricating testimony that framed
them for killing John Schweer.
Schweer was shot while working as night watchman at a car dealership. Harrington and McGhee were black teenagers from neighboring Omaha. They were convicted based on testimony from
witnesses, who later said they were coerced into lying.
Harrington and McGhee were in prison until 2003, when the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that prosecutors committed misconduct in concealing reports about a troubled white suspect seen near the
crime scene with a shotgun.
Romeny To Visit Iowa Again
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is scheduled to visit Iowa, Wisconsin and Ohio today. But his aides are predicting some scheduling changes for the GOP
nominee. Romney canceled three Virginia events yesterday as Hurricane Sandy pushed toward the East Coast.
Biden To Return To Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The campaign for Democratic President Barack Obama says Vice President Joe Biden will visit Iowa again later this week.
The campaign said Sunday that Biden will visit Fort Dodge, Iowa on Thursday, but details of his visit weren't immediately available.
Biden also plans to campaign in Florida on Wednesday and in Pennsylvania on Thursday.
Iowa is one of nine key states that Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are focusing on in the closing days of the campaign.
In addition to Biden's visit, first lady Michelle Obama is scheduled to campaign in Iowa City and Sioux City on Monday.

Rifle High School's volleyball team spent part of the summer, in a way, seeking its own identity.
A summer volleyball camp at Colorado State University in Fort Collins may have helped put the Bears on the right track to finding one.
"We've talked in the past about how to communicate on the court, but there we learned how to communicate off the court," Rifle coach Erin Reider said. "We had four days of getting to know one another again, and ... we ended up competing well no matter who we played."
That's something the Bears hope to do in their 2012 campaign, especially after a season that finished with a 2-17 overall record. Reider said team chemistry issues, along with injuries, helped lead to Rifle's finish.
But Rifle's volleyball team, the only school sports team that did not make the jump from the 3A to the 4A classification earlier this year, doesn't want a repeat this year. And if the kind of effort her team put out at the CSU camp is any indication, Reider feels the upcoming season looks much more promising.
It could turn out that way because of Rifle's decision to remain in the 3A Western Slope League for volleyball. Reider felt if the Bears had moved up a classification, it would have halted any progress they have already made.
Needless to say, the third-year coach likes what she saw this summer.
"One of the main things I learned from that camp is that we really, really fight," Reider said. "It may not look very pretty at times, but we play some really scrappy defense that will keep us in a lot of games this year."
Senior setter Abby Orgill, who sat out part of last season with a medical condition, is one of the key returnees this season. Senior Kimmie Rousin will move to outside hitter from the middle-hitter position, and senior Shanna Kassak is another returning starter at the libero position.
Other players Reider feels will contribute are junior setter Sarah McKutchen, sophomore middle hitter Annie Schmidt and Kylee Orgill, another sophomore middle hitter.
The Bears open their season from Aug. 30 to Sept. 1 at the Glenwood Springs Invitational tournament.

During Patrick Murphy's eight years as president of American PolySteel, he led the Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) manufacturer and the industry, into a new era of green building.
In an industry where concrete innovation has been weighted down by steel and implementation measured by decades, it's refreshing to discover that enterprising leadership still has a chance to succeed.
There's a bond that's stronger than mortar linking block producers to the design community. This bond of confidence is an important link needed to develop and expand the concrete block market.
It didn't seem a big thing at the time to Steve Parker. So in 1998, when Doug Deno, the retiring chairman of ASTM C09.40, asked Parker if he would be interested in becoming chairman of the subcommittee, Parker said, yes.
Sometimes you hit on something and you just don't know how big it is or how big it's going to get. Just look at Frank Kozeliski's fateful experiment. The former owner and president of Gallup Sand & Gravel in Gallup, N.M., concocted a simple, rudimentary concrete mix that didn't even require an...
Q. In the past few years, we have noticed that mix design specifications have become more complex. Many documents contain terms such as admixtures, additives, and agents. What is the difference in these terms?
Q. We are bidding on a large school project that is planned to be a LEED-certified structure. The architect has asked if we can supply a concrete masonry unit (CMU) that could be cast with supplementary materials to help qualify for LEED points. Are there any guidelines?
Q. We are involved in a quality claim in which the testing lab reports the hardened concrete did not achieve the specified design strength. Our testing lab broke cylinders from that same job and all achieved proper strength. We are confident that we will achieve proper strength if the coring is...

I agree 100% with the site speed. I thought we moved to dedicated hosting to improve the site but its still dead slow for me as well. Theres a lot of users now and lots of images being viewed. We don't have dedicated content management system for all of the images so the poor server is probably trying to dish up several very large images at any one time.
I don't get the log in layout issues tho. I am using Firefox and I believe that Chrome looks ok too. Its possible that old browsers may render it incorrectly but thats not something I see here. I get other issues which seem unique to me tho but thats another story.

VICENZA, Italy (VN) — Campagnolo has long been known for guarding its trade secrets fastidiously, and when it comes to seeing the workings of its factory, many sections for some time have been off limits to anyone outside of the company, and photography was strictly prohibited inside the production areas.
But a new spirit of openness has swept over the company as it hits its 80th birthday. Its directors recognize that the market is much different now than during the days when Campagnolo dominated the high-end bicycle component world. In this day of online social networking, a lot of interested bike riders are bound to appreciate the company opening up more to the public.
This October, anyone who has registered before the event fills will be able to get the weeklong Campagnolo Experience. This involves being immersed in Italian cycling culture, riding the roads that inspired company founder Tullio Campagnolo, and seeing the workings of the factory he started and that now is run by his son Valentino.
The Campagnolo Experience starts in Rome on Sunday, October 13 with the Granfondo Campagnolo Roma, in which riders will pedal past the Coliseum and through the Castelli Romani hills on roads completely closed to traffic. Then, along with Thomson Bike Tours, riders will head north for four days on a fully supported, 800-kilometer ride through the Apennines to Vicenza. On October 18, they will wander the hallowed ground of the Campagnolo factory floor.
Thing is, that experience is only open to 30 riders shelling out $3,000 each plus airfare. So I'll share my recent factory tour with the rest of you.
This time, I was able to take photos in the factory, something I had not been allowed to do in over a decade, although there were still some sections I could not see, and some areas I could see but couldn't photograph. In the mid 1990s when Campagnolo parts were primarily made of forged aluminum (forged outside by subcontractors and finished by Campagnolo) with steel or titanium bolts and pins, I was allowed to publish photos in VeloNews that I'd taken in the factory; I was not, however, allowed to see assembly of Ergo Power levers. But with the advent of carbon-fiber parts, Campagnolo closed the entire factory to photography and blocked visitor access to carbon-fiber production and research areas.
This time, I was able to see some carbon-fiber production, something that was not allowed when I last toured the factory in 2009. EPS (electronic) system components are made in Vicenza, but I was not allowed to see them being made, and carbon production was off-limits for photography.
Campagnolo claims to be the only global component manufacturer in the western hemisphere. Its sales have risen significantly for the past few years, despite a poor Euro exchange rate that punishes European producers. The growth can be attributed to pioneering 11-speed drivetrains, often beating competitors in weight, growing the Fulcrum wheel brand, moving aggressively forward with EPS electronic components, and following the popularity of gravel-road events with three complete triple-crank groups.
Seventy percent of Campagnolo sales are in Europe, but a 33 percent increase in 2011 sales in Japan promises to slightly shift that number. OE sales (i.e., for assembly on complete bicycles) account for 30 percent of the company's sales.
Campagnolo has three factories: its original one on Via della Chimica in Vicenza, which employs 350 people, and two Romanian factories. MechRom 1, founded in 2005, employs 349 people, while MechRom 2, which opened its doors in 2011, has a 37-person workforce building carbon and aluminum wheels.
Like any factory making hardware, this one in Vicenza makes a lot of banging and whirring noises. The machines run 24 hours a day, with workers putting in three 7.5-hour shifts daily. There is a big difference in the machines, however, from my first visits there over 20 years ago.
In those days, Campagnolo did not make chains or stamp out its own cogs, so there were not the huge stamping presses or the completely automated chain-production lines that can be heard busily pounding steel and titanium and rapidly snapping pins into chains. Furthermore, rather than operators machining parts at small milling machines and having lathes peppered throughout the factory, super high-tech CNC (computer numeric control) machines now automatically crank out parts faster, precisely to the specifications programmed into them.
Central to the factory both in location as well as in importance is a test lab and quality control department, and these areas also have advanced greatly from the versions of 20 years ago. In there, engineers precisely measure adherence to specifications, and machines constantly drive wheels and drivetrains in all sorts of conditions. Test machines even repeatedly run the Campagnolo iconic corkscrew through its paces to make sure that it will hold up through a lifetime of wine drinking.
The EPS electronic group is tested at both low and high temperatures and in the wet. The tests ensure that it offers flawless performance at 14 degrees to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. The battery is tested to ensure that it holds a charge from -4 degrees to 176 degrees. Test machines simulate riding in water and mud, and electronic components must be able to run continuously for a week underwater before they pass inspection.
Campagnolo test engineers can mimic six months of riding on an entire bicycle drivetrain in only two days in the lab. The tests are entirely objective, and Campagnolo tests its own components as well as SRAM and Shimano components this way.
Campagnolo has built a number of data-recording bikes, and technicians compare six months of telemetry data from the bikes with perception data recorded by the riders of the bikes. The equipment records the bike speed and the positions of the derailleurs and front and rear hubs. Using the data, Campagnolo engineers built test machines to duplicate the conditions the bikes experience on the road.
A bike with data-acquisition equipment on board was ridden at speed on the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix. The data was digitized and those same conditions are simulated in the Campagnolo lab.
Campagnolo's recently implemented "tribal marketing" approach attempts to connect people, their passion for cycling, and its brand together. Opening the factory to the press, OE manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and riders is part of that new corporate approach. May you be one of the fortunate 30!

Meridian Township officials say the 2012 deer harvest was double the success over the year before. 90 deer were taken. 43 were taken during the 2011 hunt.
Qualified hunters were allowed to hunt on designated Township properties to thin the herd that was damaging properties and being hit by cars.
Hunters were allowed to keep their first deer taken, but all remaining deer were donated to the hungry through the Greater Lansing Food Bank. It's estimated that more than 5,600 meals were donated through the 2012 Deer Management Program.

Officials at Pitt County Schools say they are working with the Pitt County Health Department after several schools have reported students sick with symptoms consistent with norovirus.
School officials say the health department does not plan to do any testing to confirm whether this is the same norovirus strain. Nurses in the school system have been in contact with the Pitt County Health Department.
Norovirus has been tested for and confirmed at a living facility in Pitt County.
Several schools have reported a spike in absences this week, officials said, but it's not possible to tell if all of those students were out of school because of the "stomach flu."
School officials say the custodians are continuing to clean the schools in the same way they've been trained to do. Officials are encouraging people to wash their hands, especially after using the bathroom and before eating.
The facilities have not been named by officials at this time.
Norovirus is usually a mild illness that begins suddenly and causes symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, and sometimes low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and tiredness.
It spreads quickly in the community, but especially in crowded places such as long-term care facilities, schools, and childcare centers. There is no vaccine or treatment for norovirus. The best way to prevent illness is to practice proper hand-washing, especially after using the restroom, changing diapers, before eating and preparing food, and when caring for a sick person.
Anyone with norovirus-like symptoms should stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and remain at home until all symptoms are gone to prevent infecting others.
Please contact your doctor or seek treatment if your symptoms are severe or last more than a few days.

WASHINGTON – The nation's childhood obesity epidemic is putting kids at increased risk for a very adult disease: Type 2 diabetes, usually seen in severely overweight adults.
Dr. Fran Cogen, head of the diabetes program at Children's National Medical Center, says the number of young Type 2 patients is going up each year. While a child can have a genetic predisposition to the disease, lifestyle plays a crucial role.
She says the first cases in children followed the explosion of fast-food outlets in America.
Cogen says those most likely to come down with Type 2 are youngsters with poor diets heavy in sugar and fat, who get little, if any, exercise.
At Children's, the overwhelming majority of diabetes patients, 89 percent, have what is known as Type 1 diabetes, where the body cannot produce insulin. Eleven percent of the kids treated there for diabetes are Type 2, where the body develops a resistance to insulin and no longer uses insulin properly.
But not long ago, none of the patients at Children's had Type 2 diabetes, and each year the number of obese kids with this form of the disease increases.
Between 2002 and 2005, 3,600 young people were newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, according to a NIH statistic.
Dietitian Erica Davis counsels diabetes patients at Children's and leads classes for the kids and their families. She says she is seeing more Type 2 patients each year, and they keep getting younger.
She says the youngest one she has seen is nine years old.
While she is saddened to see so many kids come down with this form of the disease, Davies admits she is not surprised. She says some of these patients have been living on junk food.
"To change that habit is very difficult, because a lot of the time the parents are also eating chips and soda," she says.
Davies is working with individual families, but Cogen stresses it will take a societal change to stop the spread of Type 2 among America's children.
She says a national debate is now underway concerning the best way to reach that goal.
