Ethical & Behavioral Standards
Ethics in the University
The mission of Kettering University rests on the premise of intellectual honesty; in the classroom, the laboratory, the examination desk, and in professional settings. The very search for knowledge is impaired without a prevailing ethic of honor and integrity in all scholarly, professional, and personal activities. The principles of honor and integrity make it possible for society to place trust in the degrees we confer, the research we produce, the scholarship we present and disseminate, and the critical assessments we make of the performance of students.
In order to achieve our goals of preserving, disseminating, and advancing knowledge, Kettering University expects all members of the community to be open to new ideas, to be governed by truthfulness, and to be considerate of the rights of others. We strive to foster these values in all our endeavors and will employ all possible means to discourage dishonest behavior in any form. We hold students accountable for their choices and actions through the Kettering University Code of Student Conduct, administered by the Vice President of Student Life & Dean of Students.
Kettering University Code of Ethics
At Kettering University, ethical behavior is built upon a commitment to discharging our obligations to others in a fair and honest manner, and a commitment to respecting the rights and dignity of all persons. As faculty, staff, students, and trustees, we each bear responsibility not only for the ethics of our own behavior, but also for building Kettering's stature as an ethical institution.
As members of the Kettering University community, all faculty; staff; students; members of the Board of Trustees; University Officers; consultants, vendors and contractors when they are doing business with the university; and individuals who perform services for the university as volunteers are responsible for sustaining the highest ethical standards of this institution, and of the broader community in which we function. The University values integrity, honesty and fairness and strives to integrate these values into its teaching, research and business practices.
This Code of Ethics is a shared statement of our commitment to upholding the ethical, professional and legal standards we use as the basis for our daily and long-term decisions and actions. We are each individually accountable for our own actions and, as members of the University community, are collectively accountable for upholding these standards of behavior and for compliance with all applicable laws and policies.
I. People and Community. We recognize that the fundamental relationships upon which our university is built are those between individual students and individual professors; thus, such relationships are especially sacred and deserve special care that they not be exploited for base motives or personal gain.
Ethical behavior is an individual, as well as collective, responsibility. Kettering University is an inclusive community committed to equal opportunity. We do not tolerate unlawful discrimination or harassment on the basis of personal characteristics or beliefs. In our actions on behalf of the University, we treat others with courtesy, civility and dignity and refrain from abuse of the power or authority conferred by our offices or roles. While the University values academic freedom and freedom of speech and expression, we nurture an environment of mutual respect and tolerance and these rights should be exercised in a way that is mutually respectful even when the values, beliefs, behavior, or background of a person or group are distasteful to us; this is one of the bedrocks of ethical behavior at Kettering and the basis of civil discourse within our academic community.
We are careful to distinguish between legal behaviors on the one hand and ethical behaviors on the other, knowing that, while the two overlap in many areas, they are ultimately quite distinct from each other. While we follow legal requirements, we must never lose sight of ethical considerations.
II. Honesty and Integrity. While in the service of the University, we conduct ourselves free of personal conflicts or appearances of impropriety, mindful that our exercise of authority on behalf of the University has been delegated fundamentally for the public good. We promptly and openly identify and disclose conflicts of interest on the part of faculty, staff, students, trustees, and the institution as a whole, and we take appropriate steps to either eliminate such conflicts or insure that they do not compromise the integrity of the individuals involved or that of the university. When we make promises as an institution, or as individuals who are authorized to speak on behalf of Kettering, we keep those promises.
We do not accept anything of value offered in consideration of performing our duties, other than the compensation, benefits and reimbursement of expenses duly authorized by the University or otherwise permitted by law. We do not accept any favor, loan, service, business or professional opportunity from anyone knowing (or when it should be known) that it is offered in order to improperly influence the performance of our duties, or when acceptance thereof may reasonably be perceived as an impropriety in violation of University policy or law.
We do not tolerate or condone dishonesty by anyone in any form including fraud, theft, cheating, plagiarism, lying, deliberate misrepresentation, scientific fraud, cheating, invidious discrimination or the misuse of University funds or property. We encourage and expect reporting of any form of dishonesty, and our managers and supervisors to appropriately investigate such reports. We also expect that the police will be notified when circumstances reasonably indicate criminal activity, fraud or theft.
Kettering is committed to achieving the highest standards of teaching and research and to conducting these activities with integrity, objectivity and fairness and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. We pursue scientific and other academic research with rigor and intellectual honesty; refrain from research misconduct; protect the welfare of human and animal research subjects and obtain appropriate approval and consents for studies involving such subjects; are accountable for sponsors' funds; and comply with grant and contract requirements and University policies and procedures regarding research.
To ensure transparency, sound business practice, and compliance with law, and because of its obligations as an organization entrusted with government and private funds, Kettering University depends on rigorous observance of accounting, financial recordkeeping, reporting and other standards and policies and on the maintenance of internal audit, internal control and compliance mechanisms. When such tasks are required by our job responsibilities, we record, allocate, and document revenue, expenditures, time, effort and other information in a way that is accurate, clear, complete and timely.
III. Protection and Care. We are responsible for managing and protecting University property, financial assets and other resources with appropriate care. As the recipient of donations, government and private grants, and other contributions, the University must be an effective steward of its resources. We ensure that the University's resources are used carefully and appropriately for the benefit of the University and in a manner consistent with all legal requirements. We do not waste University resources or resources belonging to others that are entrusted to our care, or use them for personal benefit or for the benefit of a non-University entity, unless appropriate approval has been obtained. We do not permit any such misappropriation to go unchallenged.
Kettering controls the use of its name and logos in order to protect the University's reputation and to ensure that their use is consistent with the University's mission, identity and tax-exempt status. We protect the Kettering name and logos from improper use.
We preserve and respect the confidentiality of University records, including student records. We do not externally disclose confidential records or other nonpublic information without appropriate authorization, and any confidential record or information we access as a result of our position or duty is neither exploited for personal benefit nor misused for any unauthorized purpose.
IV. Duty and Responsibility. Although ethical conduct is a natural byproduct of the culture at Kettering University, individuals have affirmative duties, responsibilities and obligations to others and to the University that require conscious action. Most notably, we have a duty to be aware of the obligations imposed by laws, regulations and policies, to ask questions when those obligations are unclear, and to report potential problems or noncompliance. Offices and individuals across the University have responsibility for providing guidance on and ensuring compliance with laws, regulations and policies, and all members of the University community are encouraged to use these resources to obtain guidance or raise concerns.
We bring to the attention of supervisors and managers, the University auditor or other responsible University office, any violation of these principles or circumstances reasonably indicating that a violation has occurred or may occur. Such reporting in good faith in order to promote the ethical integrity of operations is expected and encouraged by the University, and retaliation by any University employee as a result against the person making such good faith report shall be subject to disciplinary action. We appropriately investigate all such reports and, when warranted by the facts, require corrective action and discipline in accordance with University policy and applicable law.
Adopted by the Kettering University Board of Trustees, February 6, 2012

I have a box powered with PA-RISC processor running HPUX 9i and have Oracle 9i database running on it. For years, the box is idle and only used a day in a month, so I though it would be better if it was used as an MTA serving users on my local network which also connected to our headquarter on another city through VPN. Our headquarter have an Zimbra MTA running on Linux which serve all employee including us.
So, things I'd like to ask are :
1. Is it possible to install a version of Zimbra as an MTA on my obsolete HPUX machine
2. IF 1 is possible then how to make Zimbra MTA on HPUX collaborate with Zimbra on Linux located on headquarter ?
Sorry for language coz I'm newbie to MTA and Zimbra, and have no experience on this subject. Hopefully I can have a HPUX MTA running on machine.
Thank you in advance

Shoe leather service
Politics | Conservative GOP Rep. Steve Pearce wins in a majority Hispanic district not by changing his views but by building relationships
"Shoe leather service" Continued...
Two weeks after being sworn in for his first term in Congress, Republican Steve Pearce held a public meeting in Las Cruces, N.M., in 2003. Mike Tellez expected to hear the usual political jargon from the district's newest representative. When Pearce asked for questions, Tellez, who led a faith-based nonprofit, raised his hand.
"We've got problems getting food donations to the south valley of the county," said Tellez about an impoverished stretch of Dona Ana County in southern New Mexico that's more than 80 percent Hispanic. "Kids do not have enough to eat and families are literally starving." Tellez explained that federal agents seeking illegal immigrants in the area had arrested fathers, leaving behind families: "What are you planning to do about it? Or are you all going to just let these people sit out there like they don't exist?"
Tellez does not remember Pearce's immediate answer, but he won't forget what Pearce did after the meeting. One of Pearce's staffers grabbed Tellez before he could leave. The congressman wanted to talk to him. That was the first time Tellez could recall that happening in years of going to town halls. Pearce had one request: Show me.
That day Tellez drove Pearce around the south valley and explained how the nearest food bank would not give food to illegal immigrants due to bureaucratic red tape. Pearce set up a call between Tellez and a senior official with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Days later the food bank opened its doors to Tellez.
There has been a lot of institutional hand-wringing within the Republican Party since Mitt Romney won only 27 percent of the Hispanic vote in last year's presidential election. The Republican National Committee released a 98-page autopsy on the defeat that said it is "imperative that the RNC changes how it engages with Hispanic communities." The RNC hired a national political director for Hispanics and made an initial investment of $10 million toward Hispanic outreach.
But Republicans could save money if they just watch Pearce engage with the Hispanics in his southern New Mexico district. The 65-year-old former Air Force pilot is a conservative serving a district where 52 percent of the population is Hispanic and where Democrats and independents outnumber Republicans 2 to 1.
Despite those demographics, Pearce has won five congressional terms. The sole Republican in New Mexico's congressional delegation, Pearce won with 42 percent of the Hispanic vote last November—besting Romney's totals by 15 percentage points. Pearce's strategy is simple. "Basically what it is, is old-fashioned shoe leather," said Santiago Soto, a Las Cruces businessman. "He doesn't sit in his office making phone calls."
Each year Pearce travels more than 90,000 miles throughout his sprawling district near the Mexican border where the Buffalo Soldiers once patrolled during the Indian wars. Pearce will call Soto and tell him he's coming into Las Cruces in a few days. Soto then takes him to local Hispanic businesses and neighborhoods in the state's second-largest city, which is 65 percent Hispanic.
"Most of the people he visits are Democrats," said Soto. "But when they go vote they don't look to see if Pearce is a Republican. They pull the lever for him because they say, 'This man I remember. He helped us.'"
Soto has taken Pearce to funerals for Hispanic soldiers who died in Iraq and to food banks where Pearce helped unload trucks. In 2008, Pearce ran for the U.S. Senate instead of seeking reelection to the House. He lost the statewide race. Out of office for two years, Pearce continued to work with the immigrants in his old district. In 2010, Pearce retook his seat, beating the Democratic incumbent by 10 percentage points. "We show up and set aside the things we know we will never agree on, and we get after the things that we can," Pearce said. "These jobs should be out among the people."
Pearce cautions against any quick fix for the Republican Party that falls short of long-term relational investments with communities that Pearce says hold many of conservatism's key values. When Pearce visits Hispanic communities, he is reminded how many cherish faith, family, and personal responsibility. Hispanics throughout his district have bought homes and transformed blighted neighborhoods—cleaning up the trash and the crime.
Tellez thought he would never hear from Pearce again after he helped open the doors to the food bank. But Pearce called again asking what he could do to help. Tellez thought he'd throw out his biggest wish list: a dream center where organizations trying to help the poor could be housed together. That center opened its doors in 2005 with the congressman providing his own donation.
But Pearce did not just throw money at the problem. He started volunteering at the center. Pearce would come to the center unannounced. Tellez would find the congressman on his knees measuring children's feet before selecting the right fit among the center's piles of donated shoes. Pearce talked to the children about school, never announcing his status as a congressman. "And these people were not voters," Tellez said. "They are immigrants who don't have two cents to rub together and are not here legally. He treated people who don't even know English like they are the most important people on Earth."
Pearce is comfortable with the poor Hispanics in his district because he grew up as poor as they are. His father worked in the New Mexico oil fields as a roustabout, spending decades toiling in maintenance and earning few promotions. The family of six children first owned a home with no indoor plumbing. At 9, Pearce began working on the small family farm where they grew vegetables to sell at a roadside stand.
When Pearce owned a small oilfield services company as an adult, he was more comfortable walking through the muck of a job site than sitting behind his desk. It's a philosophy that is rooted in his Christian faith. "Jesus was out there talking to people," Pearce said. "I think we have gotten away from real representation when we start running based on our ads on radio and television. There is something fundamentally flawed with that."
A Southern Baptist who was baptized at age 10, Pearce's faith grew through Bible studies and prayer groups he attended while serving as a pilot during the Vietnam War. In an 18-month combat tour in the early 1970s, Pearce logged in 518 hours of flying missions in Southeast Asia, sometimes landing with bullet holes in his C-130 transport plane.
Applying his faith today, Pearce helped start the Congressional Prayer Caucus on Capitol Hill and helped form a Hispanic youth group in Anthony, N.M. The youth group conducts trash pickup days, and Pearce is planning a financial literacy class: "What I want the kids to see is that help comes not in the form of dollars from Washington but from their desire to make the community better."
Soto said Pearce has never tried to change his conservative views to get the Hispanic vote: "He's the same man he's always been." Pearce talks about respecting the law when he explains to Hispanics why he doesn't support giving broad amnesty to those in the country illegally. They should not be given an advantage over the people who stayed home and followed the law, he argues.
Pearce believes the border should be secured and the legal immigration process streamlined before lawmakers consider the status of immigrants already in the country illegally. Most of the illegal immigrants Pearce talks to admit they would have waited to come here legally if they could have received an answer to their formal request within a year.
"I love the infusion of new ideas and new energy that comes from people coming here hungry for their chance at success," he said. "As Christians we should embrace immigration, but I also think there should be a process."
Pearce said Republicans are "sadly mistaken" if they hope rushing to pass a complex, comprehensive immigration law will lead to more Hispanic support. "If we give up our fundamental values it is going to be a major catastrophe," he said. "We will lose our core supporters, and we won't win anybody either. We should be more about understanding who these people are that we represent by seeing them on their turf." Mitt Romney's reluctance to visit more Hispanic communities was a main failure of his campaign, according to Pearce. "I think he could have bumped up his performance by 10 points," Pearce said.
Since opposing the reelection of John Boehner as House speaker, Pearce has been excluded from the internal debates of establishment Republicans. But individual members of Congress have asked Pearce to hold seminars for their offices about the secret behind his success with Hispanics. He tells them it should be less about what Washington wants to accomplish and more about helping others. "They say, 'Well, it sounds like we just need to get out among the people.' And I say, 'That's basically it.' It's pretty easy stuff."
Last year Tellez, whose parents cast their first ever Republican votes when they supported Pearce, talked to some Hispanics about Republicans running for local office. "We are not voting for them because they are Republicans," somebody in the group said.
"What about Congressman Pearce?" Tellez responded.
"He is not Republican," someone in the group replied. "He is one of us."

Item # EAS0319
Don't worry though, we have a lot more 26" Mountain Bike Wheels - Tubeless in stock than that.View Similar Products
Easton Haven 26in Wheels $0.00
The Easton Haven 26in Wheel possesses all of the shaping and structural elements required to meet the stringent UST standards. The testing and certification is an expensive process, but Easton decided that the time and monetary commitment would offset the ease of seating beads with a floor pump, and riding without the fear of a burp, or worse, having the tire blow off the rim.
In practical terms, you can seat a UST tire on these wheels by hand and with only a floor pump -- no mess and no fuss. Creating a UST approved rim is tricky, but Easton found a great way to get around the task of eliminating spoke penetrations in the outer wall of the rim. The straight-pull DT double-butted spokes are placed in the hub in a 3-cross pattern as usual, but the nipple features a fresh design that's compatible with the specific rim -- it's both internally and externally threaded. When the spokes are drawn into the nipple it's simultaneously threading into the inner wall of the rim. And they can be trued exactly like a wheel with standard nipples, only the included valve stem pierce the entire cross-section of the rim.
The internal rim width is a sensible 21 mm in order to allow the fitment of 2.3 - 2.5in tires for true all-mountain adventures. The Easton Haven hubs run on sealed cartridge bearings and have preload adjusters. This way, you'll have an easy time making sure that your bearings are always perfectly adjusted. The front hub is available as either a 15x100 or 20x100mm option. For the rear, you can choose from a 10x135 QR or a 12x135/142mm axle.
The Easton Haven 26in Wheel uses ISO standard 6-bolt mounts for the brake rotors and is available in the colors Brushed Black and Matte Silver. Please note that these wheels are sold individually.

Reviews & Community
Hi there,
1. is this a wheelset?
2. can the rear be used with a 142x12 rear end?
Thank you.
Hello Lee105957683,
These wheels are being sold individually. We have sold out of the rear wheel options.
These wheels were offered with the option to run a 10 x 135 mm and a 12 x 135/142 mm rear axle. We no longer that the rear wheel options in stock.
Is the 10x135 QR a standard quick release axle? I have an old bike with old wheels that need replacing. I have a 20mm thru-axle up front but the rear wheels is still a QR. will these fit my bike?
All we have left in those is the 15X100 front so it would not fit. There may be adapters available from Easton for those but we don't have them available.
will these wheels run a 1x11 setup from...
will these wheels run a 1x11 setup from Sram?
Hi Phil,
Sram designed a new freehub body for their 11-speed mountain cassette, designated as the XD driver. So, to install an XX1 cassette, you will need to purchase an Easton XD driver separately. Here is a link:
Call to place the order, and we can have our shop install that freehub on the wheel before it ships.
Can you run these on a 2 x 10 speed...
Can you run these on a 2 x 10 speed setup?
Hey Eddie,
Sorry for taking so long to get you an answer.
Yes, these will run a 10 speed cassette no problem and then the crank you use is really up to you. You'll have no problem at all with a 2x10.
If you need anything else please let us know. You can call us at 1.888.276.7130, jump on chat and talk with one of our bike specialist, or shoot us an email at email@example.com

I have two weeks to take off next year to pursue mule deer. I'm looking for any advice or recommendations about some great backcountry bowhunts in Colorado and Idaho. I'm going to apply in Colorado and have my home state of Idaho as my backup choice.
After researching Colorado I have found that GMU's 43, 44, 45, 75, and 751 are some solid choices. GMU 44 is currently my first choice with 43 behind it. The downside is that I have never hunted in Colorado, so every area will be new to me. I may get a chance to scout the area a little over the 4th of July, if I'm lucky.
As for Idaho, I have hunted in East of the Boulder Mountains in GMU 48 and love spending time in those rugged mountains. However, I'd like to explore other areas like GMU 67. Does anyone have experience hunting in 67 during the archery season?
I'd love to hear some feedback.
Thank You

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - One eastbound lane of the Interstate 64 Daniel Boone Bridge will close next week for inspection work, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
According to Linda Horn, a MoDOT spokeswoman, crews will close the bridge from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from Monday, December 3 through Thursday, December 6.
The inspection is necessary as part of a rehabilitation project tied to the eastbound bridge and the construction of a new I-64 Daniel Boone Bridge.
The new bridge is expected to cost $110.9 million. Construction is expected to begin in early 2013 and be finished by late 2015.

It was St. Patrick's Day, so how fitting that we would get held up on our post-lunch walk to the Capitol by the Irish Prime Minister's visit. We all stood waiting on the presidential motorcade to cross the street for the Congressional Recognition Ceremony that afternoon, and as we waited, we enjoyed the March sunshine and took in the mix of tourists, protesters, vociferous street preacher, and impatient Hill staffers. The street was buzzing with murmurs about what the President's schedule had been and when the motorcade would pass through.
It had been a long time since I had been in Washington on a regular work day, and I remembered part of what I'd loved about the city as a fresh-out-of-college paralegal. People in D.C. may be over-scheduled and tightly wound, but they do get excited about being close to world events—and to the President himself. And the friendly chatter on the street fed into my excitement about the awards reception I was heading to—in the Atrium of the Capitol Visitor Center.
For me, a writer who is often conducting interviews by phone or sitting behind a desk, it was a treat just to mingle with NRPA members and colleagues. But in that setting—and in between stirring speeches by the award recipients—it was a grand and lovely experience. An afternoon of going back and forth between, for example, chatting with Wyoming's state parks director about skiing with his kids, and taking in sound bites from lawmakers passionate about parks and the outdoors. Here's a pastiche from the various acceptance speeches:
From Georgia Congressman John Lewis: "Parks bind us together. They get us outside…get us moving. They create community. They serve all races, all ages and all abilities. They are sacred; they are special."
And from Cynthia Lummis, a Wyoming Congresswoman: "I'm deeply grateful that you gather and that you represent the interests of parks and recreational opportunities for people all over our country, who have differing abilities to enjoy the outdoors, and you make it possible for so many to do that."
And, finally, this very personal reflection from New Jersey Congressman Albio Sires: "When I look back on my life on the things that were important…I realize that's [in parks] where I made my friends, that's what got me through college, that's where I relaxed, that's where I spent a lot of my time."
I looked around at my NRPA colleagues, most of whom have been working on behalf of parks a lot longer than I have—and I saw smiles of appreciation and enjoyment. And some standing on tiptoes to get a better view of each of the speakers. It's wonderful when anyone really understands the value of what you are advocating for day-in, day-out—and even better when people with the power to make change understand. Acknowledging and commending the work of those legislators was encouraging, I think, for the recognizers as well as those recognized. Despite the fatigue that was setting in at the end of that jam-packed day. Despite sore feet from standing on marble floors and traipsing all over Capitol Hill.
During the two-hour commute from downtown D.C. back to Loudoun County that evening, I thought a lot about how worthwhile this work of preserving and protecting parks is. And, in a time when our nation is so polarized over what is worth spending public monies on, how good it is to see some agreement right inside the Capitol dome on the value of our open spaces, our trails, our health, our community bonds, and our children's play.

Donors to the Roger Maris Cancer Center help Hannah Linz play the game of her life
In April 2010, Hannah Linz had just completed her freshman year with the NDSU Women's basketball team – however, simple post-season drills left her out of breath. Concerned, the coaches brought her to the Sanford Emergency Center in Fargo where a large mass was discovered in her chest. It was confirmed to be Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
"I was in shock. I couldn't believe that I had cancer," said Linz. "I was only 19 years old and in my first year of college, playing college basketball for NDSU. I thought to myself how could this be happening? I work out every day, eat pretty healthy, and I'm young!" Hannah immediately began six months of chemotherapy and three weeks of radiation therapy that put her cancer in remission.
By her sophomore year, Hannah was back stronger than ever. She was at full strength by her senior year and was within reach of breaking NDSU's all time three point shooting record.
Unfortunately, in January of 2013 Hannah received devastating news…the cancer had returned. With her characteristic strength and determination, Hannah geared up for her 2013 cancer battle.
This spring, she underwent a stem cell transplant – a long and difficult process. Her drive, resiliency and resolve to make a difference by becoming a nurse made her the perfect Honorary Chair for 61for61 – an event that has raised nearly $2 million for the Roger Maris Cancer Center for more than 15 years.
"I decided to go into nursing because of the experience I had at the Roger Maris Cancer Center," said Linz. "Hopefully in my nursing career, I can be that compassionate nurse that I have encountered many times at Roger Maris and give my patient the best care possible."
As the Honorary Chair and a future nurse, Hannah continues to inspire those around her and lead her to the day when she is cancer-free.
Your gifts to the Sanford Health Foundation and the Roger Maris Cancer Center provide the programs and services that make the treatment and recovery of patients, like Hannah, possible.
To learn more about the Roger Maris Cancer Center or to make a gift, visit foundation.sanfordhealth.org or call the Sanford Health Foundation at (701) 234-6246.

Where do you go after touring the world, playing arenas with the likes of Neil Young, Wilco, and Death Cab For Cutie, skipping from show to show via a small plane the way Buddy Holly used to do?If you are the five musicians who make up Los Angeles' Everest, you go back to playing those small bars – the kind of venues where you can share a beer or two or three with the locals before the show (and a beer or two or three after). If Everest sounds like Americana, it's because they live Americana, the stadiums are just little detours thrown in to spice things up. You'll hear no computers, no programmed drums, no robot vocals on Everest's latest album "Ghost Notes." Instead you'll get the crackle and buzz of amps that have traveled around the world and the dusty worn voices of the fellows that lugged them. This month you can find them in some off-the-beaten path hole-in-the-walls up and down the West Coast, or if you're going to Bumbershoot, we can't encourage you strongly enough to make your way to the Broad Street Stage at say, 12:45-ish on Saturday.
To further entice you, follow this link to see a video of Everest's "Reloader" directed by Neil Young band member Anthony Crawford.

Lamar County School District officials say $7 million in damage was done by the Feb. 10 tornado that struck Oak Grove High and its baseball and football facilities.
The Hattiesburg-American reports the district has a $50,000 insurance deductible it hopes to have covered by the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.
District Construction Manager Johnny Downs says they've taken bids on the repairs to the football field, lighting, replacement of the high school's windows and gym floor, replacement of the score boards for baseball, football and softball facilities and replacement of the maintenance shed.
The School Board will decide at its May 21 meeting whether to accept the bids.

I encounter a pb with a folder that is invisible in local folders of ZD.
To begin, I start from a clean install of ZD 7.1.4, and I set up an account on my Zimbra.
At this point, I have no filders in my "Local Folders" except the Trash folder.
Since the parameters, I export my zimbra account in a .tgz, tgz then I import this file in my "Local Folders".
The problem: the Inbox folder does not appear, and the Contacts folder either.
If I re-exports the contents of the "Local Folders" in .tgz and I open the archive using a decompression application, I see the folders Inbox and Contacts.
If I create a folder "Import" in local filders and I import this .tgz file, I see all my files correctly.
The pb seems related to the fact that my filders have the names of special folders 'Inbox' and 'Contacts'.
Have you ever encountered this pb? Is this a bug ZD?
So, does I necessarily have to import to a folder ?
Thank you for your response.

remember how you pledged you would stop drinking coffee back in november? you absolutely failed.

I hate coffee. I'm just full of energy all the time.
Coffee is awesome.
I am guaranteed I drink more coffee than anyone else in Greater Manchester, perhaps beyond.
Well, that just guarantees your not a morning person.
i hate coffee
i dont think ive had more than a sip in my whole life. and that was disgusting.
im not a morning person either.
I don't sleep, pretty much. I tend to seize the day. LOL A7X.
The only thing I can do to make myself sleep is practice Zui Quan (Drunken Fist). It's a great martial art but only works if you're agile.
I had some coffee for the first time in November. It was horrible. I had to put in about six of those little cream things into the coffee so it wouldn't taste so strong and even then it was terribly bitter.
I know. I can't see how some people drink 3 cups of that a day.

It took me embarrassingly many tries to put the batteries in right. I would not want to change the batteries in the dark.That said, it's light and small enough for your pocket, while putting out a quite impressive amount of light.

In-Plane and Space Truss
Application ID: 8526
Trusses are elements which can only sustain axial forces. You can use trusses to model truss works where the edges are straight as well structures like sagging cables.
In the following example you first build and solve a simple 2D truss model using the 2D Truss interface. Later on, you analyze a 3D variant of the same problem using the 3D Truss interface. This model calculates the deformation and forces of a simple geometry. The example is based on problem 11.1 in Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students by T.H.G Megson.

Eddie Bash's 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster - Lucky EddieWritten by Chris Shelton on December 18, 2007 Eddie Bash's Tequila Sunrise Of A New Life
Give or take a year, Eddie Bash's '48 Chevrolet is 60 years old. In car years, that's a bunch. In fact, any car that can survive that long is lucky. On the other hand, his car isn't nearly as lucky as he is. And he's only 35.
You see, before Eddie was a car guy-before he really even knew what a '48 Chevy looked like-he was a bike guy. Was, we emphasize, until 2004, when his Harley-Davidson Road King worked itself into one of those hula dances of Harley lore.
That's when things started going wrong. The brand of wobble Eddie experienced high-centered the bike and pitched him over the high side, and the abrupt stop he made against the asphalt on the yonder side smashed, among other things, his noggin. You know how people talk about seeing their lives flash before their eyes? Well, put yourself in Eddie's shoes (or more appropriately his helmet). Now think of your wife and your young 'uns, as he more than likely did (he said he doesn't remember).
Luck being the relative thing it is, Eddie pulled through. And when he did, there stood Jacqueline, his understandably shaken wife. "That's when she told me I had to get another hobby," he said. Fair enough, Eddie thought. So he built a nice, safe ... hot rod.
On the surface it's a nosed-and-decked sedan that walks the line between hot rod and custom. If you inferred the righteous stance came from a Mustang II crossmember, and radial whitewalls, you'd be right. Had we not told you, you would've never caught on that he replaced the floors and quarters, and we trust you to not tell the authorities that he sprayed the car in a makeshift booth in his own garage. There's also another bit of fate in the paint too; the car would've ended up the drab purple-gray Eddie initially chose had his youngest, Tim, not fingered the House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl at the last minute.
To work another metaphor, Eddie and the Chevy rehabilitated simultaneously. While the doctors tended to his recuperation, he tended almost exclusively to the car's reconstruction. What gives the car such a good flavor is due in part to Eddie's restraint. Instead of going catalog crazy, he frequently beat the aisles at the local junkyard. For a measure of this dedication, consider that he personally sandblasted the car. By all accounts and thanks to some help from James, Tim, Lily, and his friend Al Lewis, Eddie's first crack came out far nicer than even he expected-especially given the condition of the car when he started. "I probably paid too much," he noted.
While he probably lamented the thought of leaving the motorcycle world, we get the feeling that he recognizes his new hobby's merits. After all, getting a family of five onto a motorcycle isn't exactly easy. Actually, we don't think he's having fun; we know it. In fact, when we parted company, he was talking about building another car-a fullsize fastback '40s GM of some kind.
Ordinarily we'd wish someone the best of luck on a car, but not this time. After hearing his story and seeing his first car-building effort, we were hoping he'd wish us some.
Rod & Custom Feature Car
Eddie Bash
Las Vegas, Nevada
1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster
If '40s Chevrolets and Fords have something in common, it's a simple, versatile, and strong chassis. Eddie retained his and equipped it with a JPL Street Rods Mustang II crossmember. To that, he fitted Chassis Engineering 2-inch dropped spindles and 1-inch-drop coils. To keep the firewall clean, he retained the underdash brake assembly and equipped it with a Master Power dual-circuit master cylinder and a 9-inch booster. The '69 Camaro 10-bolt rear spins a 3.73:1 cog and mounts to custom-made 4-inch de-arched leaf springs. The crusty old tank was replaced with a Chev's of the 40's 16-gallon polyethylene vessel.
Engine & Trans
When Eddie rebuilt the '69 Camaro 350, he equipped it with a Crane Cams PowerMax H-266-2 cam, Crane 1.6:1 rockers, Everbright-coated Weiand Action+Plus manifold, an Edelbrock Performer 600-cfm vacuum-secondary carburetor, a Summit Racing GM/HEI-style ignition, and Taylor wires. According to Eddie, it's good for 300 hp at 5,800 rpm and 310 lb-ft of torque at 4,200, and due to those realistic numbers, we tend to believe him. Eddie cools his small-block with a Chev's of the 40's aluminum radiator and a Zirgo ZFU16S S-blade electric fan. A K&N air filter tops the mill; Sanderson's 1 5/8-inch-primary block-hugger headers flank it. A B&M Holeshot converter feeds the '69 GM TH400 transmission, but Eddie tells it how to use the power with a Lokar shifter. He even cut down the stock Camaro driveshaft to keep the cost in line.
Wheels & Tires
It's easy to screw up a sedan's proportions with the wrong rollers, but Eddie hit the mark with a tried-and-true combo. The steel Wheelsmith smoothies all have the same 15-inch diameter, but the fronts measure 6 inches wide; the rears, 7. If simplicity is the key, nothing could be better than a set of baby moons and trim rings. For tires, Eddie called Diamond Back Classics and ordered a set of 215/60R15 and 235/70R15 radial whitewalls.
Eddie modified the Fleetmaster body enough to call it custom, yet not enough to erase its identity. He nosed and decked it and similarly shaved the door handles and badges. He replaced the rear bumper with a roll pan, frenched the stock taillights into the quarters with a taillight recess kit, and filled the cowl vent. Eddie and his good friend Al Lewis both prepped the car, but Eddie took the initiative to line his home garage with plastic sheet and spray the House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl himself. Vegas' Chrome Zone plated everything Eddie didn't paint.
Usually the mention of a wood dash invokes the image of a slab-like mahogany plank in place of an otherwise good-looking dash. Not in this case, however. While Eddie shaved his dash, he retained its overall dash shape and covered it with a maple and cherry wood veneer. Rather than restore the gauges, he switched to VDO Cockpit Royale pieces and set them in a Chev's of the 40's polished aluminum dash insert. The wheel came from a '63 Nova, and it's on a later GM column. Eddie commissioned Manny's Upholstery, in Vegas, to clad the overstuffed stock bench with orange-piped cream vinyl and lined the floors with tan German square-weave wool carpet, and it's about the only chore he farmed out. Oh yeah, Eddie also wired the car himself with a Painless Performance kit. With a family of five, its baggage, and its groceries, weekend outings can get pretty complicated. For that reason we're sure Eddie picked a sedan partially for its cavernous trunk. He tucked away all of the car's necessities, including the battery and audio gear, behind the interior panels.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - A new Boscov's department store is scheduled to open at the Ohio Valley Mall in October - just in time for the 2013 holiday shopping season.
Anthony Cafaro Jr., co-president of Cafaro Co., which owns the mall, and Albert Boscov, chairman of Boscov's, made the announcement this morning, noting it will be the first Boscov's to open in the state of Ohio.
The store will occupy the space most recently used by Levin Furniture Outlet and J.C. Penney.

James Boscov, left, vice-chairman of Boscov's; Anthony Cafaro Jr., co-president of Cafaro Co.; and Albert Boscov, chairman, gather during this morning's announcement of the department store coming to the Ohio Valley Mall in October.
Plans include enlarging the store to encompass 180,000 square feet of retail space in addition to a community auditorium where entertainers, fashion shows and other events will be held. The store will employ about 300 people.
Boscov said he was excited about the market and the people. He said they had considered moving into the St. Clairsville area for years, but it wasn't until the unemployment rate dropped to 8 percent that they decided to make their move.
''We see a tremendous amount of opportunity here,'' he said.
Boscov had previously sold the family business, but that company entered into bankrupcty after a few years.
Boscov noted when he decided to buy back his company, the Cafaro family loaned them $20 million to help with the purchase.
''We are here for two reasons: because it's the right place to be and because we certainly owe a debt to the Cafaro family,'' Boscov said.
He noted the store's pricing is competitive, but items are affordable even when not on sale.
''Boscov's is slightly different than most retailers because we understand that no one in America needs a doggone thing - that every closet is full. But retailing is fun and recreation and we try to make it fun and recreational,'' Boscov said.
Boscov's describes itself as the largest family-owned department store in the nation, boasting it is a ''billion dollar plus'' chain. It has been in business for 102 years. There are 41 Boscov's in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Maryland.
''Many stores who call themselves department stores really have become specialty stores,'' Boscov said. ''But we still believe in the traditional department store, where in one shopping trip you can find everything you want.''
Belmont County Commissioner Ginny Favede said she is excited about the new department store. She said when J.C. Penney moved from the mall to The Highland, the county's coffers took a hit.
''I think the women and the mothers are going to be thrilled,'' Favede said, noting she's shopped at a Boscov's in the past. ''It's also a family business and we take that seriously in our area.''
Belmont County Commissioner Matt Coffland said he also is happy with the announcement, noting the commission will continue to work closely with the Cafaro Co. to help bring new businesses to the mall. The county, he said, is continuing to grow in terms of new companies.
''We're looking forward to more tenants,'' he said.
Boscov added that many of his stores employ 300-400 people because they believe in customer service. For example, if a person needs help getting their packages to the car, an employee will assist them. And their stores' volume of sales also calls for a high number of workers, he said.

The System
Sports | The NHL lockout has pro hockey on hold, putting the focus on Canada's year-round elite youth leagues where players too young to drive are minor-league professionals in all but name. The two-decade-old trend toward the professionalization of youth sports in the United States is being blamed for problems ranging from burnout to Sunday games, but Canada's experience in hockey hints at even more ominous consequences | by Les Sillars in Brandon, Manitoba
BRANDON, Manitoba - Take all the time, money, achievement, sacrifice, dreams, heartbreak, and vicarious parental glory an American community expends on football, baseball, and basketball. Stuff it into one bowl, and sweeten with Wayne Gretzky, Stanley Cups, and Olympic gold. That's hockey in Canada, eh?
That's why Canadians have paid close attention to a criminal trial involving two NHL players. In July, St. Louis Blues forward Mike Danton pleaded guilty of conspiring to hire a hit man to kill David Frost, a notorious, Svengali-like character who'd been his coach since age 11 and then his agent. The world of professional sports often seems surreal (Kobe Bryant, anyone?), but this case seems unusually odd: Why would a father turn his young teen's life over to such a coach? The search for answers begins in Brandon, a mid-size river valley town in southwestern Manitoba.
A tall, rangy forward for the Man.-Sask. Panthers swoops toward the goal from the right side and collars a rebound, but a Cypress Timberwolves defenseman is shoving him toward the blue line, so he can't turn and shoot. Instead, he slips the puck between the legs of another defender charging from the side, dodges the check and then slides the puck over to the top of the left circle where a waiting teammate one-times a rocket on net. But the Timberwolves goalie, having drifted out to cut down the angle, nabs the shot and hangs on to force a face-off.
It's an impressive display of skill and power, like nailing a runner at home with a throw from centerfield, or a backdoor pass that leads to a dunk. But the players, coaches, and handful of parents inside the 5,000-seat Keystone Center arena are accustomed to such moves from 12- and 13-year-olds, so the teams change shifts with hardly a glove-touch. It's a strangely quiet, businesslike atmosphere at the AAA Challenge. The largest summer youth hockey tournament west of Toronto draws 110 teams from across Canada and the United States for three weeks every July.
Summer hockey is an integral part of The System. A partly government-funded organization called Hockey Canada rules the country's sprawling, confusing network of provincial and regional youth leagues, divisions, and classes. It has 560,000 players plus thousands of volunteer coaches, officials, and team moms. However The System, which is strictly unofficial, is smaller. It's the top leagues and players in each age group in each region, and the people who run them.
Most hockey dads will admit that their son's chances of making the NHL or even top-level junior or college hockey are not good. But they also know that it's a quixotic fantasy outside The System. A player who is not "tiered" (playing for a top team) by age 10 or 11 can kiss his already wildly improbable NHL dream goodbye. One parent says that when he considers pulling his 12-year-old from The System for a 3-on-3 rec league, "a part of me goes, Am I robbing my kid of a chance?"
Hockey's central place in Canadian culture feeds The System. Over 4 million Canadians in a country of about 30 million either play, volunteer, or watch as fans. So parents put up with or even demand 40- or 60-game seasons running from August to May, followed by summer tournaments. Aluminum sticks-$300; quality skates-$400; league registration -$500; chasing your child's NHL dream-$4,000-$10,000 per year after age 12 for the elite programs, depending on travel. Major credit cards accepted.
TYLER AND ALEX PLANTE OF BRANDON are a couple of princes of The System. The Brandon Wheat Kings of the prestigious Western Hockey League drafted Tyler, now 17, two years ago. (The WHL is a "major junior" league for 16- to 20-year-olds. Most of the best prospects with NHL aspirations enter the Western, Ontario, or Quebec major junior leagues.) Tyler, a goalie, starred on Brandon's national champion AAA midget team last year. In provincial league play he collected 88 penalty minutes; the next most-penalized goalie had four. "They came into my crease, and I shoved 'em out," he says with a shrug and an impish grin. The Wheat Kings have already ordered his goalie pads for this season.
Alex, 15, is a 6'3" defenseman with a ready smile and an arena seat from Montreal's legendary (and now demolished) Forum in his bedroom. Observers say he's a smooth skater who understands the game and "has physical presence," hockey jargon for "is a tough body-checker." The Calgary Hitmen made him the first pick of the second round this spring, the highest a Brandon product has ever gone in the major junior draft.
Until tryouts in August, the princes slept late and trained three days out of five with a personal strength coach ($35/hour-long session). Jim Frederickson has 40 hockey clients, ranging in age from 11 to 22. He has them on a specialized weight program aimed at hockey muscles and the older players' no-carb diets. Both princes are still wiry but they've gained muscle and knocked five points off their percentage of body fat in a month. "If you don't do the extra mental and physical things to give you an edge, you probably won't make it to the upper levels," their father, Cam, says.
Their mom, Valerie, is relieved Tyler can live at home for his first WHL season. Most junior players live with billeting families but next year, if Alex makes the Hitmen, he will stay with relatives in Calgary, a 14-hour drive west. Otherwise, she's not sure she would let him go at that age. "That's always been my issue," she says. Mr. Plante, who spent his 15-year pro hockey career playing in Europe and American minor leagues, looks a little uncomfortable during this discussion. This is, after all, Alex's shot at the big time. "When you have an opportunity, you should do what you can to make it happen," he says.
Once in the major juniors, Tyler and Alex will earn a couple of hundred bucks a month playing an 80-game schedule featuring famously long bus rides across four provinces and a couple of states, all while keeping up their high-school grades, supposedly. They can be sold or traded at any time, at which time they would move to a new city and a new billet.
THE SYSTEM IS NOW PROFESSIONALIZED down to age 14. Kids face staggering pressure to perform lest they lose their big chance, and they are rushed through The System far too quickly, according to Johnny Misley, Hockey Canada's V.P. of hockey operations. "I think we're at a crossroads at the elite level. The professionalization of amateur levels is ruining the system." Hockey Canada is pondering a series of rule changes, like limiting the number of 16-year-olds who can play junior to one per team, that officials hope will slow the process.
Already agents troll for prospects as young as age 10, hoping to corral a stable of hot prospects and ride their jersey-tails to NHL riches. Consider the sad saga of St. Louis Blues forward Mike Danton. He grew up Michael Jefferson in Brampton, Ont. His dad, Stephen, wanting 11-year-old Mike in the best league available, sent him to Toronto under the care of ambitious, abrasive David Frost. This is not uncommon, and some parents move so their child can play in a better league.
Over the next few years Mr. Frost gathered a handful of talented players who followed him from team to team, even as he was banned from various Ontario youth leagues for unruly teams, allegations of hazing, and other problems. He also became known for obsessive control over his chosen few, isolating them from their families and having them spend nights at his residence.
Three of his players are now estranged from their families. Two years ago Mike changed his name to Danton, alleging parental abuse. Mr. Frost, meanwhile, changed his role from coach to agent. One other Frost disciple plays in the NHL, Sheldon Keefe of the Lightning.
Earlier this spring Mr. Danton asked a girlfriend to help him hire someone to kill a guy in his East St. Louis apartment and make it look like a robbery. She contacted an acquaintance who, they discovered after the sting, was a police dispatcher. Mr. Danton will be sentenced in October; he faces seven to 10 years. Mr. Frost has angrily denied he was the target, and Mr. Danton, prior to his pleading guilty, from behind bars continued to attack his parents and defend the man he tried to murder.
The carefully worded affidavit FBI investigators filed for the charges stated that when Mr. Danton confronted Mr. Frost via phone, Mr. Danton "broke down and sobbed. . . . Danton did not want to allow the acquaintance to leave him, and therefore decided to have him murdered." Mr. Danton's prosecutors have advised reporters against presuming Mr. Frost and Mr. Danton had a sexual relationship.
"I blame myself," Stephen Jefferson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Because I closed my eyes just for the dream of the game . . . I sold my soul to the devil."
Sexual abuse or no, Mr. Danton's case is uncomfortably similar to the Sheldon Kennedy scandal, which rocked Canadian hockey to its core. In 1996 Mr. Kennedy of the Boston Bruins revealed that his long-time coach had homosexually molested him hundreds of times in the 1980s, from the time he was 13 through his stint on the WHL's Swift Current Broncos. Graham James served three years in prison and is now coaching in Spain.
"This is a culture where men buy, sell, and trade boys," points out Laura Robinson, author of Crossing the Line: Violence and Sexual Assault in Canada's National Sport. Coaches and agents can make or break a player's dreams: "What better place for a predator to be?" She believes abuse is pervasive but those in The System doubt it's that bad. Since Mr. James's conviction, most years a handful of sexual abuse charges involving hockey and youth have been filed around the country.
Hockey Canada's mandatory Speak Out program, developed in the wake of the James scandal, teaches volunteers the signs of sexual and other abuse, and provides a hotline to report suspicious behavior, hazing rituals, and the like.
Put it all together and Cheryl Kehler of Steinbach, in the province's southeast corner, is wondering how long she wants to let Ryan, 12, continue playing hockey. Ryan is a short, slim, speedy center who collected 53 points (goals plus assists) in 35 games last season. The Kehlers flood their backyard every winter to make a rink, complete with boards and a Canadian flag. He has wire-rim glasses and a faded black cap stitched with "Steinbach Millers Pee-Wee Champs 2004" that he wears only when awake.
Her husband Mike, family and youth pastor at Steinbach's Mennonite Brethren church, is conflicted. He played junior hockey in British Columbia in the late '70s and knows about the promiscuity and alcohol abuse that permeates junior hockey. "Had I not lived with my coach in a Christian environment, I'm not sure where I'd have been," he muses. But Mrs. Kehler says he pushes Ryan pretty hard.
Mrs. Kehler is sure of this much: Ryan will "absolutely not" enter the junior draft. She did not grow up in a sports family. "Hockey is not the be-all and end-all of where I want my kids to end up," she says. "I have a real fear of where hockey will take them. What about values and morals? What are they reaching for?"
"I think it has a lot to do with the type of person you're talking about," Mr. Plante says. Kids with a strong family background can handle the pressure, the life away from home, and the 10-hour post-game bus rides on school nights. The game teaches important lessons about discipline and maturity. It's not just an investment in their hockey future, it's an investment in their future. Both the Wheat Kings and the Hitmen have team chaplains if the boys need spiritual guidance (see sidebar). "The majority of people involved in hockey have the kids' best interests at heart," he says. "I personally believe that the positives far outweigh the negatives."
Alex is ready to go: "It's all about hockey right now."

The news broke late Monday night that President Obama would be holding a press conference today and announce his nomination of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to another four-year term.
The story broke on the same day that hundreds of grassroots activists sent letters to Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi demanding an audit of the monetary activities of the Federal Reserve Bank.
The following is a list of ten videos of Fed Chairman Bernanke testifying (and getting grilled) to various members of Congress about the activities of the Fed.
He visibly squirms at and evades some of the tough questions about the Fed's secretive policies, outrageous loans, and severe devaluation of the U.S. Dollar. One Congressman (Grayson - D) even laughs out loud at Bernanke's feeble answers.
The very last video is a compilation of Bernanke's false predictions about the U.S. economy, which call into question the credibility of his recent statements that he expects an economic recovery by year's end.
