Senate Passes Storm Aid Bill
January 29, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — Three months after Superstorm Sandy ravaged coastal areas in much of the Northeast, Congress on Monday sent a $50....
One thing we got going for us, sounder, is that you're no longer here. And yet you still blah blah blah here for our amusement, so that's two things... LOL

I can see that without anything else going on in that miserable little shetle which are the remnants of Wheeling where once things did get built, business did occur, people had productive lives--those left behind stand at their version of the Wheeling Wailing Wall which are the empty cellar holes of buildings and lives which once existed and now are no more. That 100 million dollar restoration project for the banks of the Allegheny River north of Pittsburgh; too much to expect in Wheeling if the Ogden family is the local equivalent of the Mellon and Heniz families who may no longer do banking or bottle catsup in Pittsburgh but still retain family connections and concern for that city. Not so for Wheeling, not so for the residents who remain.

If you research the headline "all the revenue from taxing the RICH was spent in one bill on Sandy", you will have your answer. Yet how many, many people have and are losing their job in the last 30 days because of this tax. I personally know 4. Three of which the bosses came right out and said that if obama was elected, the layoff had to come. so sad

FEMA 9in 34 years of existance) has a debt of 27 billion from the goberment ran flood insurance scheme! There is a compelling reason why the "private" insurance market will NOT cover flooding!
FEMA has a 13 billion dollar budget and is now getting 11 billion more for disaster aid...9 billion this year to "bail-out" the flood insurance program!
13+11+9 is 33 billion for FEMA this year! Almost 3x the "regular" budget...Goberment is not the answer!

Here are my rough stages on the city map so far:
* The first is just a cut from the regional to establish the basic shapes.
* The second gets a little more detail. Here I've sketched in roads and outlying villages, laid in a stand-in texture for the city, and placed the outer wall, docks, etc. The city is made from clips of Genova taken from Google Maps in satellite mode. It looks kinda cool, I think. Doubt I can find a way to use it in the final, however.
* The third has a little more refinement on the surrounding terrain, adds the city's original wall, and works out the details of the roads a bit more...especially those within the city itself. I used the city texture to suggest layout a bit and it worked pretty well actually. Oh, the purple hashes are intended to show elevation within the city. The crosses mark the high points, where prominent features will be placed.
I'll be out of town for a week (at CES in Vegas, joy) but will hopefully have updates to these and the battle maps (thread) on Saturday or Sunday. C&C welcomed and appreciated. Thanks!

Truck unit sales up annually, down sequentially, says ACT Research
August 31, 2010
Even though reported sales of used commercial vehicles dropped 20 percent from June to July, unit sales were up year-over-year at 43 percent ahead of 2009, according to data from ACT Research, a provider of data and analysis for trucks and other commercial vehicles.
In its most recent edition of State of the Industry: U.S. Classes 3-8 Used Trucks, ACT noted that average truck prices continued to move slightly higher even though there was a modest increase in average age and miles of sold units.
"The average mileage of used Class 8 trucks sold in July rose above trend due to a higher than average number of older trucks being wholesaled," said Steve Tam, vice president-commercial vehicle sector with ACT, in a statement. "Anecdotal evidence suggests a shortage of late model, low mileage equipment. This trend will likely continue for several more months until new truck purchases increase and bring in equipment that sat idle during the economic slowdown," added Tam.
ACT reported last week in its most recent edition of "State of the Industry: U.S. Trailers" that dry van trailers in July were up 134 percent year-over-year, while net orders in July—at 10,688—were 9 percent below June levels.
ACT said this sequential decline is due in large part to normal seasonality of new orders, noting that the last six months of commercial net trailer orders are the best six-month span since the six months ending February 2008. The firm also pointed out that the backlog of trailer orders from June to July increased for the first time since February 2008.
Earlier this month, ACT released its "ACT North American Commercial Vehicle Outlook," which called for commercial trailer production to increase by 47 percent to about 116,000 year-over-year and full-year production of Class 8 vehicles to be up 26 percent year-over-year at about 150,000, with further increases into 2011.
Vieth said in a recent interview that while truckers had a strong second quarter, it creates a question of if that performance is indeed sustainable.
"We still have below replacement [level] retail sales for Class 8 vehicles," said Vieth. "There is still capacity coming out of the market that way. And we are still seeing fairly healthy exports of used Class 8 trucks out of the marketplace, which is another avenue for lowering capacity, and we are seeing slower economic growth as opposed to contraction at this point, with a possible double-dip recession in the future."
Unless a double-dip actually occurs, even an incrementally growing economy is still going to absorb capacity, said Vieth. And the ACT 2010 forecast—and into 2011—remains at below replacement levels for expectations of commercial vehicle manufacturing. This suggests that truckers should be able to build on the momentum that they started to gain in the second quarter, although it may not be as robust as it could have been if the economy were continuing to grow at the pace it did during the first half of the year, according to Vieth.

Anyone to share recipes and experience on brewing Boza beverage?
I come from Turkey; I live in Istanbul at the moment and I like boza very much. I have had some notes on brewing boza, but I've never tried it myself.
The reason I didn't try is mainly that the recipes for the general public calls for bulgur as the main ingredient. (Bulgur is traditionally a very popular food in Turkey and very abundant, so its easy to reach for the general public. Nowadays it has some popularity in Western world as well.) I'm sure that this is not the case for the boza made by special boza houses, i.e. relatively big industrial firms of the day or by the artisanal shops in the past.
As far as I know genuine product is made from proso millet as the main ingredient. (Here in Turkey, in metropolitan cities the only way to obtain it is to shop from a pet store. Its sold as a bird food. But even if you buy it there's a problem to mill it in order to get rid of its shell. Appearently it needs some sort of milling to use for boza and I don't know how to do it witout having special equipment. Because of this obstacle I believe, the recipes for the general public do not mention proso millet.
Some producers seem to add some amount of rice as well.
As those being said I am translating a recipe I found on the Web:
3 water glasses of bulgur 2 small cups (Turkish coffee cup or espresso cup, lets say) of rice 3 water glasses granulated sugar 1 water glass old (previously made) boza or a match box big of yeast (appeareantly it means bread yeast in paste form)
Bulgur is soaked in abundant amount of water previous night. (Means that it should be soaked for about 12 hours or so.)The day after, bulgur and rice is boiled to the degree that they are mashed throughly. Its treated with a mixer and mashed through a strainer.
That mixture is put on top of a stove with low heat. Sugar is added and stirred until it dissolves. Then taken away from the stove.
It is let to cool to a lukewarm degree. Stirreed from time to time. When its lukewarm, the old boza or the yeast which is dissolved in lukewarm water is added to the mixture. Its stirred throughly.
The mixture, closed with a lid, in a place around 20-25 °C, is left to ferment for 2-3 days. Its stirred from time to time. When you observe small bubbles in it, its done. Then, its transferred to a cool place.
Its served cold. Up to taste you may sprikle ground cinnamon on it.
Some comments:
For the yeast: As its the case in most of the world, here in Turkey general public has no refined knowledge of yeasts. The recipe calls for bread yeast which is very easy to obtain and it mentions a glass of old boza as an option which is obviously can serve as yeast to some degree. Most probably traditionally it was prepared with such a way from the point of the yeast. However, I'm not sure if the big producers of the day use some other yeast or not. You may do some experiments if you have some different types of yeast at hand.
For the bulgur-rice and water ratio: The recipe above is blurry for that. You should have tasted a genuine boza before to adjust it. A recipe calls for 2 cups of bulgur and 21 cups water. That may give an idea. I'll write my ratio in concrete terms when I try.
Under any condition, if you have never tasted boza before, its very hard -if not impossible- to tell that what you obtain resembles to genuine boza or not. I'll try the recipe above for myself -beginning tomorrow- and I hope I can say something in a week or so. Hopefully I may add some other recipe(s) as well. The one I already wrote is a very basic one.
The best boza in Turkey (Vefa, for example) is made from millet. Traditionally, the millet is boiled till it is very soft and mushy, then it's pressed through a sieve. This gets rid of the hulls. In the US you can buy hulled millet; I'm not sure what Vefa does but it's hard to imagine them sitting around rubbing millet mush through sieves by hand. :)
The other issue is "yeast." In Turkish, the word for yeast (maya) refers to anything that's used as a starter, whether it's for cheese, yogurt, boza, bread, etc. But they are all different things.
If you use store-bought bread yeast, your product will be heavily alcoholic, and that's not what you want. (The Greeks and Armenians of Istanbul did make a more alcoholic version but it wasn't considered halal by Muslims.) This may eventually go acidic because of secondary fermentation, like vinegar production, but I think the best way is to start your boza with already established boza. If you don't have that, you can make your own starter as follows:
Soak, then boil a small amount (say 2 tablespoons) of bulgur or millet till very soft, and blend or run through a fine sieve. Add equal parts sugar and water till you get something the consistency (or a little thicker, it doesn't matter) than boza. Cover with a cloth and let it sit out at room temperature for a couple days. In 2 or 3 days it will get sour and bubbly, but if you use this, your boza might not taste quite right. Repeat the process, but this time, after the mixture is cool, add some of your first starter batch. This time the fermentation will go a lot faster, and it should taste like boza - sweet and tart. Now you can make a large batch, and use your starter. Each time, save some of your boza to start the next batch. Once your starter is established, it should only take a day or so to make.
Afiyet olsun!
Scientific info for the biology geeks: :) What has happened is, the mixture was "colonized" by wild yeasts, some of which produce lactic acid, others of which do not. But lactic acid kills the other bacteria, and the bacteria that produce it "win" the battle. When you start your second batch, you then have a more active culture of lactic acid producing bacteria, and they ferment the batch before the "wrong" bacteria can take hold.
sour dough bread as a boza starter ?
You could probably use a little bit of sourdough starter to start Boza. It has all the right microorganisms. I haven't tried it, but I would imagine that you could use vinegar "mother" as well.

Perez played his high school basketball at Otay Ranch High School in Chula Vista (CA) which is in San Diego.
We asked the point guard how he and Southern Miss hooked up and how the connection came about.
"Coach Tyndall had a connection with my coach out here, and my coach told me about Southern Miss," he informed us. "I started the process there and started building a relationship with Coach Howard.
"Talking with the Coaches, I can tell they really work hard and would make me better as a player and person. It seemed like a great fit for me."
Perez is a 6'2, 180lb point guard who said he has plans to visit Southern Miss soon.
"Coach Howard and I are working on a date where I can come in and get in a full 48 hour visit and enjoy my stay and get to know everyone there," he added.
Perez said his plans are to be used to run the offense, a role that he embraces.
"I'm a true point guard," he said. "I can score it but I really love to get my teammates involved. Even right now, some games I'll have double digit assists. To me, that is what I enjoy and the type of role the coaches at Southern Miss have planned for me."
He also said he's very competitive and intense, something that will fit in perfectly with Coach Tyndall's system.
"They are excited to have me, and I feel like there are not a lot of true point guards out there, so they want to use me in that way."
Perez is leading his CC, Fresno City, to a great start to this point.
"We are doing really well," he said. "We are 11-4, and have a big one next week at home. We had practice today and I'm just trying to be prepared for a run at a championship.
"My experience should help me a lot because my coach is very demanding. He's really tough, and all this stuff he's put me through the past two years have prepared me well for basketball at the next level."
Perez becomes the third commitment to the class of 2013 for the Southern Miss basketball program.

Nicaragua Limoncillo Java Longberry Cultivar
Sorry I'm over a week late with this post, things have been hectic around here with all the new coffees being added. This one was kept at a City + roast level to highlight the "lemon cookie" flavor Tom mentions in the review. Final temp. was 427 degrees with a sixteen minute average roast time. This coffee would taste good roasted to a few different levels so this is just a decision we made at the cupping table to let the origin character take center stage, so to speak.

Looks like a good start.
My Battlemaps Gallery http://www.cartographersguild.com/al...p?albumid=3407
It looks like a good start indeed. I would just suggest something on the lettering: namely, use one font not two (Papyrus and that narrow sans for the military district, which one is that?) and use a slight outer glow effect or a label to make the lettering stand out more.
That is really nice. Looking forward to progress on this one. Someday I'm going to make it to mapping a city, LOL.
Sorry, the narrow sans (whatever it is) is just a temporary place holder. It is there for me to remember what items will be in each area.
This is looking really cool! I can sympathize with the lack of time Keep picking away at it though, it looks great!
I agree. I'm in the same boat as you Landorl. I don't have the time to commit to mapping projects that I would like to. The map is turning out nicely though, and I particularly like that compass.

Walmart's New Health Food Push: Too Hard to Swallow?

text: I've heard people say Nevada has the best draw system amoung all the Western States. Those people that say that have 2 or 3 points and draw. I've got 11 deer points and it hasn't happened yet. You start off buying points, then they've got ya. I would have put in for everything over there if I thought it was going to take 11 plus years just to draw a deer tag. But I knew Elk and Sheep would take many years, and I didn't entend on doing that. I just wanted a quailty deer hunt within 5 years or so. It didn't happen as planned. I've got more than $1600 dollars invested in a deer tag, and I don't even own one yet. I'll be glad when I finally draw, so I can get off this train. Anyway don't start unless your willing to come aboard for the long hall.

HOUSTON - Some residents hit hard by the drought and 2011 wildfires will be able to get a free tree.
The Texas A&M Forest Service and Anheuser-Busch teamed up to distribute 500 free trees through Texas ReLeaf.
Pre-registered families in Grimes, Montgomery and Waller counties will be eligible for the trees.
The trees will be distributed on Dec. 8 from 1 to 4 p.m. at:
- Grimes County: Plantersville Fire Department, 15985 F.M. 1774 in Plantersville
- Montgomery County: Magnolia City Hall, 1811 Buddy Riley Boulevard in Magnolia
- Waller County: San Bernard Electric Co-Op, 29244 F.M. 1488 in Hockley
"ReLeaf is much more than a tree giveaway," Texas A&M Forest Service Urban District Forester John Warner said. "Yes, we want to re-green these communities, but, more importantly, we hope to use these trees to revive community spirit and inspire hope."
Each participating family will get a tree, a water bag and a tree guard. Families must agree to immediately plant the tree, preferably in their front yard, and participate in a follow-up site survey done by the Texas A&M Forest Service.
Another tree giveaway is scheduled for March. Roughly 1,000 trees will be given away in both events combined. About 10 percent of the trees have been set aside for planting on public land, such as at schools, libraries and parks.
Registration for the December giveaway is closed, but families can register for the March distribution by visiting www.kmbctexas.org/releaf or calling 713-806-3453 after Jan. 5, when registration begins.

A Note of Importance
It was pointed out to me recently that I don't actually need a World Map aside from the awesomeness of it, at least not now. I may need it later (possibly), but really I only need continental maps. So, rather than taking this down, making 6 new posts, and hoping for the best, I'll just use what I already have and add this note: the post was originally designed with the idea of a World Map, but I am now going to simply ask for continental maps. If you want to do a map for a specific continent, just let me know. The most IMPORTANT continent that needs to be fleshed out is Cathorius, as it is where the entire first act of anything I have planned involving Alterra would occur, but any other continent that is fleshed out will be appreciated as well.
Opening Words
So, I started a post on DeviantArt to try and find people who could help me with making a map for my personal game world that may or may not ever actually get anywhere. The first response to that post was a reference to the Cartographer's Guild, something I had never heard of before. I must say, I am QUITE happy to find out there's a group of people out there who might be able to actually help me bring what I see in my mind to life. That said, hopefully you all will be able to bring this dream of mine into reality more than it is right now.
Project Description
Alterra is a massive world I have slowly constructed in my mind for the last 2 years (3? 4 now? I can't remember how long its existed anymore). It consists of 6 continents (and an absolutely massive body of water that covers the remaining half of the planet, but on any map drawn of Alterra that part is never really shown), each with fairly distinct traits, though due to my limited/poor understanding of natural geography I admit my descriptions for those continents in their original forms has been constantly adapting. A friend of mine made a very ROUGH version of a map using paint and basic geometric shapes (along with a grid to give a rough scale, though that scale is fully subject to adjustment if anyone who works on this feels the scale doesn't quite fit with my descriptions), and I would like to take what he started and actually get a fully fleshed out (if not detailed) map with proper continent-shaped landmasses.
Do understand that while I may be including a lot of details on the continents, I don't expect every detail to be used. I simply do so for completions sake, and because my goal is not necessarily to describe what they LOOK like (cause I don't fully know, which is part of why I'm here hoping for some help), so much as the intended FEEL of the continents, so that you might take that feel and turn it into a look that can embody it.
Below is a copy of the original Map my friend created for me, with each square on the grid representing 200 miles (his scale).
Understand that the positions are not necessarily 100% accurate, as a more accurate map would not have Marsenor (northeastern continent in this picture) that far north, and obviously the shapes aren't generally accurate (aside from Marsenor, which has always been my most detailed continent which I had the clearest image in my head of).
Setting Description
The setting in general is a unique world (not Earth v375). The timeframe for the map would be the "present" of the setting, which is a semi-post apocalyptic (I say semi because the event in question was 5000 years ago, so there has been some time for recovery, and it wasn't an event that really wiped out people so much as changed things vastly from what they were) era with steampunk-ish technology (though that's not entirely an accurate description as the technology doesn't use steam but a unique form of magic, it IS a fairly accurate description of the general technology level), trace elements of highly advanced technology (VERY uncommon, as most advanced technology was destroyed with the exception of certain absolute necessities), and things you might expect out of a low-tech high-fantasy setting. As I'm not really all that good at describing it without necessarily going into a lot of detail, here's a link to my forum which has the full background as I originally wrote it up.
Continent Descriptions
Cathorius is the central continent on all Alterran maps. It is an absolutely massive continent, at least double the size of any other continent on the planet. It was once a fairly populated continent, covered with structures, and fairly lush plant life. The current continent is a deadman's land, inhospitable due to large areas where life simply won't grow at all, magic cannot function, and a large number of other dangers. The general terrain is a desert, which takes up a very large chunk of the continent. The outer edges of the continent are more mountainous and jungle-like, but still nothing very livable. In the very center of the continent is a massive chasm, effectively a crack in the very continent, called the Devil's Scar, which is said to be where Magic first burst forth from the planet, resulting in the destruction of the city that was once there, and the death of the thousands who were fighting there when the event took place. The center of Cathorius is exactly on the Equator.
Located to the northeast of Cathorius (or at least in that general direction) and farthest from Cathorius, Marsenor is a continent that is most known for its distinctive shape, volcano, and the militarized nature of its population. A place where might makes right, and the primarily dominant demonic races (of which there are at least 4, possibly more when I finally get around to detailing them all) have the might, and any other race there is generally in the minority, this is one of the few continents with a single race being dominant, as most continents are a mix of races. The continent is very harsh, but each of the demonic races have found ways to thrive despite the difficult nature of the volcanic landmass. Shaped in a near-crescent, the continent's most distinct trait is a massive lake near the north-end of the continent, easily hundreds, if not a thousand miles across. The lake opens to the sea at a small break in the continent, which has been turned into a heavily fortified choke-point in case of attack, as at the center of the lake is the capital city of Marsenor.
Surrounded on 3 sides (with the only side not covered being on the opposite side from the entrance to the lake from the sea) by a range of mountains that rise out of the lake with a ring of water between the mountains and the volcano itself, the volcano that once made Marsenor has been fully tamed by the demons of Marsenor and turned into their capital city. At 3 points around the range, guard towers were erected to defend it, though one has since been destroyed, and all 3 have bridges leading to the city itself (though each bridge is close to 100 miles long). It should be noted that the volcano in question is 100 miles from one side to the other.
To the southwest of the main continent is an island which has been used as neutral territory for what interaction might happen between the people of Marsenor and those of other continents, though it is primarily a look-out post (in case of attack on the southern end of the continent) and secondary capital. It is mostly mountainous.
Located almost directly east of Cathorius is the mountainous and barely habitable isle-continent of Utosar. Once a tropical paradise, Magic has reshaped the land into a mass of mountains and plateaus that is difficult to traverse. This has resulted in a tourist spot being turned into a much harsher land, now filled with the Na'zer (the once ONLY race of Alterra, now merely one of the many as described in the background in the link above) who have hatred in their hearts for the other races who (through sheer numbers and determination) took complete control of the continent during the chaos of the early years after Magic was released on the world. Most of the plateaus that are usable have fortress cities built on them, with the Na'zer who live in them living isolated from the other races and interacting only between the people of Utosar. The continent is primarily lead by a council made up of six members of the Royal Family, the family who originally led the fight against the non-Na'zer races on Utosar that ultimately lead them to victory in claiming their home.
Located to the far west of Cathorius, Ethium is a shattered continent. Originally a continent roughly half the size of Cathorius (if not a little bigger than half), the continent was well known for its tropical jungles, vast plains, and various tribes of Na'zer who lived more in-tune with nature than those of other continents. It was also well known for having many unique structures that are equivalents to real-world pyramids. When Magic was released into the world, a large chunk of the continent simply shattered, resulting in hundreds of smaller islands being scattered around one large island (though its mostly at the outer edge) and a larger but smaller island (larger in comparison to the hundreds of other islands, but smaller in comparison to the one large one). The largest chunk is still comparable to a continent, but in general people still refer to all the islands and the larger continent as Ethium. Known as the wildest of the continents, most of those who live on Ethium still live in a very tribal or solitary manner. The larger small island holds what remains of the closest thing to a capital Ethium ever had, now connected by a massive bridge to the mainland (with countless smaller bridges coming off it connecting to various lesser islands along the way between the two).
The northern-most continent from Cathorius, it is closer to the north pole than any other continent, resulting in part of it being covered in snow and ice year-round. With Ethium shattered, Burgown is now one of the largest outside of Cathorius, and generally is considered the only remaining neutral territory in the world where races mix regularly. A fairly mixed environment, the extreme south of Burgown is actually seasonal in temperature, rather than year-round cold like the northern portion of the continent. Of all the continents, I freely admit that this and the next continent are the least detailed, so feel free to take more artistic license with them. The only distinct trade aside from the aforementioned split of temperature is that the continent should look almost like it can connect to Cathorius' northern end like a puzzle piece (a distinct trait that is plot-related to the setting).
The other "polar" continent, located to the south of Cathorius, Stirsea is an oddity. Covered completely by ice and a seemingly never-ending blizzard, Stirsea is actually located almost immediately to the south of Cathorius, far too close to actually be in the portion of the planet where it should be cold enough to be all ice and snow. Stirsea was once located directly on top of the southern pole of the planet, but after the release of Magic, the continent drifted steadily to its current location, just a few thousand miles south of Cathorius (some parts might even go INTO the Equator, though I leave that up to the map maker's discretion). It is generally agreed that the only thing keeping the continent from thawing is whatever Magic is holding it all together.
Other Details
Honestly, I don't much have any idea what to ask for as far as the details of the map go. You could make a really simple map that just shows the shapes of the continents, or something that portrays the general geographic elements, or a fully realistic map or whatever. I honestly don't know enough about maps to know what to ask for.
As for how long you have to do it? Take whatever time you need, I'm in no rush. There's a very good chance I may never get around to using the map for anything other than a reference on my website where I just dump various Alterra things.
I WILL say this though: If I ever DO actually get around to using this map for anything official (such as a game book) where I can make money, once said money is actually coming, I will do my best to pay for the map. I don't have any sort of real income of my own, and there is no guarantee I'll ever get enough of my setting and rules detailed to turn it into a proper game, which is why this is NOT a for-certain thing. But it IS a long-term dream goal to see Alterra turned into a game. If that happens, and I use whatever map is made from this, I do promise to make sure you get what you deserve.

The University of Alabama aspires to transmit knowledge, to develop its students, and to promote the quality of society. In seeking these goals, the University recognizes the significance of student rights. These rights include freedom of expression, autonomy, procedural protection, and the integrity of people and their property. By ensuring these individual rights, the University fosters an environment conducive to student success and well-being. The Code of Student Conduct fully respects student rights.
Of course, students have obligations as well as rights. As members of an academic community, they must observe rules that benefit their classmates and their University. Students must practice personal integrity. By so doing, they respect the dignity, rights, and property of others, both students and all members of the University community. The Code of Student Conduct thus creates an expectation of behavior that the University deems acceptable. By fulfilling these expectations, students can enjoy their own rights, while also respecting their classmates' rights and furthering the University's goals.
However, the University community, as any other, must have a system to deal with those instances when a member fails to adhere to the expectations of the community. The Code of Student Conduct describes the actions which fail to meet expectations, the process of determining when a failure has occurred, and the punishment to be imposed for such failure.

MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA9) -- Prince William County police arrested a 17-year-old boy they believe raped a woman in a secluded area behind a townhouse in Manassas on March 28.
According to police, a 31-year-old Herndon woman told police at 11:15 p.m. in the area of Maplewood Drive and Peakwood Court that she was walking to an acquaintance's home when she was approached by an unknown man.
Police say the man had a gun and forced the woman into a secluded area nearby Vermont Place. He then raped her, say police, before fleeing.
The woman was transported the hospital, say police.
A police K-9 and helicopter were used in the search for the man, but police were unable to locate him.
Wednesday, police say they identified the suspect on Tuesday and took him into custody. A search warrant was also executed at his home, according to police, because the woman's attacker also took her cell phone and cash.
Police say the 17-year-old is also responsible for a robbery and an attempted robbery of the Maplewood Barbershop on March 1 and 28.
The teen is charged with rape, abduction with intent to defile, robbery, using a firearm in commission of a felony and grand larceny for the attack, according to police. For the other crimes, he is charged with robbery, attempted robbery and using a firearm in the commission of a felony.
The teen is being held at the Juvenile Detention Center.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Jrue Holiday had 27 points, eight rebounds
and six assists in the Philadelphia 76ers' 101-100 win over the Portland Trail
Damian Lillard nailed a 3-pointer with 7.1 seconds left to pull Portland
within a point and Thaddeus Young threw the ball away on the ensuing inbounds
after Holiday fell down. But LaMarcus Aldridge's fadeaway in the paint was
well defended by Spencer Hawes and the Sixers escaped with the victory.
Hawes added 18 points and 13 rebounds for Philly, which found out earlier
Monday that center Andrew Bynum would undergo season-ending knee surgery on
both knees.
Bynum, who becomes a free agent in the offseason, will have loose bodies
cleaned out from within the knees in order to alleviate pain and swelling that
has persisted since he underwent a radical yet non-surgical procedure called
Orthokine therapy in the offseason.
The 25-year-old Bynum had several setbacks in his recovery and will not play
for a Sixers club that traded away several key players in order to make him
the centerpiece of the franchise despite his history of knee problems.
Aldridge finished with 32 points and 14 rebounds, while Lillard chipped in 27
points, seven boards and seven helpers for the Blazers, who have dropped 13 of
their last 15 contests on the road.

Adrian's night, flying Bulletts and staffs
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Here's the book on Morgantown High's Nathan Adrian, the reasons West Virginia coach Bob Huggins offered him a scholarship:
He's 6-foot-9.
He can shoot.
He's good on the perimeter.
Mountaineer fans who watched Adrian play in a loss to South Charleston Thursday night will have to keep that in mind, because Adrian didn't score 50 in a state tournament game like Herbie Brooks did before heading to Morgantown. He didn't score 45 like Pervires Green. Didn't hit for 43 like Jeff Schneider did before heading to Virginia Tech, or 41 like O.J. Mayo before going to USC.
Adrian had 17 rebounds and 17 points, but the latter was on 6-of-20 (30 percent) shooting. He had at least five missed bunnies. It was more along the lines of a Kevin Pittsnogle showing, who struggled at the Civic Center in 2001 before heading to WVU.
"Bad," was how Adrian described his Thursday evening. "There's no way I can shoot 6 of 20 and expect us to win."
Lingering injury?
"No," Adrian said. "That's not an excuse at all."
At times Adrian's evening was plain ugly, considering his height advantage on South Charleston's players. And he was 1 of 6 from 3-point range.
He did flash a nice handle at times on the perimeter. And perhaps, like Pittsnogle, he'll fare better in college, playing outside against taller opponents.
But the initial impression is Adrian needs to get stronger. He needs to control his emotions. And he just might need to redshirt a year in Morgantown.
When it comes to state tournaments, there always seems to be a Bullett in the chamber from the Eastern Panhandle.
And it seems we'll continue to hear from Don Bullett, who has been coaching Washington High, located in Charles Town. On Thursday, the Patriots won in their first state appearance in the five-year history of the school, defeating Parkersburg South's Patriots.
Bullett comes from a long line of standouts from Martinsburg. His sister Vicki is in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame after starring at the University of Maryland, the Olympics and the WNBA. His brother Scott played professional baseball with the Pittsburgh and Chicago organizations. Another brother, Matt, played basketball at Glenville State, as did Don. And brother Eddie's daughter Kiana played for Martinsburg High in last week's girls event.
Anyway, expect Washington and Don Bullett to continue making future waves. The panhandle is booming economically. Jefferson High was split, sending students from Charles Town and Harpers Ferry to WHS, and both are still Class AAA schools.
As for the Patriots basketball team, well, it has a chore in getting past Bullett's alma mater, Martinsburg. The Bulldogs have already beaten WHS three times this season.
Still, the Pats are in the semifinals.
"We're where we want to be," said the coach.
You want a top-flight coaching staff? Check out the one put together by Fairmont Senior's David Retton, whose team advanced in Class AA Thursday by beating Scott.
Retton has veteran Frank Skubis, who was a head coach for years at Clay-Battelle in Blacksville, on his staff. He has former Marshall hooper Deon Dobbs. Oh, and if any of those have questions, Retton's father Joe is the most famous figure in the history of the soon-to-be-deceased West Virginia Conference. The elder Retton was at the game Thursday. ("That was special," said the son.)
How does it work?
"They know what they're talking about," said FSHS center Shaquille Washington. "We don't talk back to them."
And finally . . .
A tip of the ballcap to Bridgeport coach Gene Randolph, who apparently is concluding his career in style after deciding to retire.
On Thursday, the sixth-seeded Class AA Indians knocked off No. 3 seed Westside 79-71, moving to the semifinals today against Fairmont.
"I postponed [retirement] a little bit," Randolph said. "But I can hear the call of the mountains."
Randolph has always had a reputation as a class act. He bumped around the Clarksburg area, assisting at South Harrison and the old Roosevelt-Wilson high schools before settling in at Bridgeport. He's been the Indians head coach for 20 years. Overall, he's coached for 38.
"I'm an old codger," he said Thursday.
That "old codger," though, has his team in the state tournament for the ninth time since taking over. Bridgeport's last appearance under him was in 2007, when the school lost to O.J. Mayo's Huntington team. ("That should have been handicapped," Randolph joked.)
Anyway, the coach has a parcel of land at Canaan Valley. He's ready for the mountains. Not, however, until this week's job is done.
"I'm tired," Randolph said. "I'll be 68. I've been doing this a long time. The older you get, other things impose on your ability to do the job. But I've had a longtime love affair with basketball."
It still shows.

|Storm misses Holyoke; tornado confirmed
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Severe storms have been no stranger to this part of the country in the month of June, but Holyoke residents are counting themselves lucky when the worst of a June 18 thunderstorm missed the city.
Other parts of the county were not as lucky. Haxtun and rural areas to the east and northeast of Haxtun saw much damage from the storm.
A tornado was confirmed at 8:49 p.m. Wednesday night approximately four miles north and four miles east of Haxtun.
Bob Heldenbrand, Phillips County emergency manager, reported there was an unconfirmed tornado sighted at Haxtun City Park, and information and photos have been submitted to the National Weather Service to help determine if a tornado caused the damage in Haxtun or if it was straight line winds.
Heldenbrand said both weather spotters and trained emergency personnel can confirm tornadoes. A confirmed tornado means either a tornado has touched down or visible debris can be seen in the air from a funnel cloud.
In Phillips County, the tornado siren will sound for three consecutive minutes if a tornado has been confirmed within 10 miles of the town or if information from the National Weather Service shows there is high potential for a tornado to hit.
Last Wednesday, the sirens sounded in both Haxtun and Paoli.
A grain storage building owned by Legg Farms four miles east of Haxtun on Highway 6 is significantly damaged in the Wednesday, June 18, storm. The northwest corner of the building is ripped apart, and the grain leg on top of the building is blown over.
A severe thunderstorm warning with reported winds in excess of 70 mph as well as a tornado warning were issued by the National Weather Service for Phillips County.
No injuries were reported, according to Heldenbrand, but damages were caused by hail, extreme high winds, uprooted trees and flying debris including tree limbs.
Haxtun saw wind at 58 mph Wednesday, with gusts up to 78 mph, according to The Weather Channel.
Damage to Town of Haxtun property included significant damage to trees and the gazebo roof at the city park, the welcome sign and garage doors, among other infrastructure and equipment damage. The town also lost power during the storm.
Multiple trees were uprooted, and nine homes were damaged by fallen trees or limbs in Haxtun, in addition to several tombstones being damaged at Haxtun Cemetery.
Rural areas reported multiple grain storage bins damaged, an irrigation sprinkler turned over and a 150-foot radio communications tower toppled, among other things.
David Churchwell of Highline Electric Association reported the wind blew down three rural electric poles in Phillips County, approximately five in Logan County and around 60 in Sedgwick County. All were fixed by Friday.
He reminded citizens that if they see a downed pole, they should call Highline immediately at 970-854-2236.
Citizens to sign up for emergency notifications
Two reverse 911 tornado warning messages were sent out by the Phillips County Communications Center to the Haxtun area before and during the storm, reported Heldenbrand.
The Phillips County Office of Emergency Management encourages local residents to plan and prepare for all hazards, and one step in that preparation is to sign up cell phones to receive emergency notifications.
All land lines are automatically registered for the Wireless Emergency Notification System, but cell phone owners must register online for WENS. The English link is http://entry.inspironlogistics.com/phillips_county_co/wens.cfm, and the Spanish link is http://entry.inspironlogistics.com/phillips_spanish/wens.cfm.
Information for the emergency notifications is also available on the Phillips County website at http://www.colo rado.gov/cs/Satellite/CNTY-Phillips/CBON/1251638482908 or by calling the county at 970-854-3778.
Heldenbrand encouraged people to also have a plan for where they can find shelter in the event of a storm. Those in Holyoke can go to the Phillips County Event Center main bathrooms or the basement of the Phillips County Courthouse.
If residents don't have a basement, they should make a plan with their neighbors instead of attempting to drive across town to the public shelters, Heldenbrand suggested.
Phillips County Office of Emergency Management posts updates on Twitter (@PhilCo_CO_OEM) and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/PhillipsCountyCO.OEM.
Tornadoes make the headlines
Tornadoes have been at the forefront of people's minds this month. Along with the one confirmed in Phillips County, there were three sightings in Washington County during that same June 18 storm.
Also last Wednesday, Wessington Springs in southeastern South Dakota was hit by a tornado, with 11 homes and three businesses damaged.
Earlier last week, rare twin tornadoes tore through Pilger in northeast Nebraska Monday, June 16, wiping out three-fourths of the small town of 350. A 5-year-old and a motorist died, with 19 others injured.
Videos and photos have spread quickly on social media.

On Wednesday, September 5, 2012 the Tallahassee Police Department began to investigate a possible hazing case, which was referred by the Florida A&M (FAMU) Police Department.
The initial findings showed an anonymous caller made contact with FAMU personnel on September 4th, 2012 to file a report which involved hazing.
The anonymous complaint stated a hazing took place at
a residence on or near Jakes Street and Patterson Street near FAMU campus and involved a FAMU dance group called "Torque".
The anonymous complainant did not identify either a suspect or a victim in the case but did state alcohol and "forced" activity were involved with the incident.
TPD investigators have followed all leads and interviewed all known parties connected with this event and are unable to identify any suspects or victims in this case.
TPD is urging anyone with information about this incident or any other incident involving hazing to please contact the Tallahassee Police Department at (850) 891-4200.

Journalism and Libraries are Inseparable

Unbiased Information?
Libraries are essential to democracies. We help to disseminate credible information that aides citizens to make well-informed decisions. Yet without sources of credible information, our mission to anticipate and meet the informational needs of our diverse communities becomes watered down.
The Death and Life of American Journalism
KQED's Forum aired a program with the above title on the present crisis of journalism in America earlier this year. Anyone with an interest in how democracy works in our country will enjoy listening to this archived program.
Apparently, the demise of so many well-respected newspapers has less to do with the evolution from print to digital media than with the corporate business models that drive most present-day newspapers.
What's Really Happening?
The drive to create ever-increasing profits for shareholders has encouraged newspaper publishers to cut their foreign correspondents and investigative journalists. One might argue that Internet bloggers are taking the place of investigative journalists, yet that probably isn't the case.
How many bloggers have the time to fact check and dig deeply below the surface of news stories. Even more important, how many bloggers have the protection of legal counsel when their investigations point to corporate malfeasance?
The questions raised in this program gave me pause. Possible solutions to the predicament of American journalism were posed as well, so it wasn't an entirely bleak forecast.
New Strategies
Leonard Downie Jr., the former executive editor of The Washington Post, is another important figure who is trying to build another model for American journalism. It will allow news organizations to rebuild their international and investigative departments.
Downie has written a thought-provoking book entitled The News About the News: American Journalism in Peril, available at many San Mateo County Libraries. He appeared at the Belmont Library on January 30, 2009 to discuss some of his findings.

This year's Colorado School Breakfast Challenge, also referred to as the "Breakfast Games," opened in September and runs through January, with one primary goal-to increase student participation in the School Breakfast Program.
Schools are competing in three categories, and the top two schools with the highest overall participation rate in each category will be crowned champion in March 2013.
The winners will be awarded prize money-$4,000 for "gold" and $2,000 for "silver."
The 2012-13 School Breakfast Challenge participating high schools are:
One school administrator even promised to shave his head if their school wins.
The annual Colorado School Breakfast Challenge is presented by the No Kid Hungry Colorado Campaign, a statewide, public-private initiative of Hunger Free Colorado, Share Our Strength and the Office of Governor John Hickenlooper.
The Campaign's comprehensive five-year plan details 10 goals to end child hunger by 2015, with one focused on the statewide expansion of the School Breakfast Program. For the 2010-11 school year, 108,509 daily school breakfasts were served, a growth of 11.25 percent compared to the previous year.
Studies show that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, particularly for children. Those who do not eat a regular, nutritious morning meal may be more likely to struggle with poor academic performance, exhibit behavior problems and experience poor health. It also can help decrease tardiness and suspensions as well as improve memory, attentiveness and overall health.
The School Breakfast Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, offers students a healthy start to each school day; yet, according to the Colorado Department of Education, of the more than 217,000 low-income students in Colorado who ate a daily free or reduced-price lunch in 2010, only 87,000 participated in the School Breakfast Program.
"One in five children in Colorado is at risk of hunger and a recent Share Our Strength survey showed that three in five teachers say children regularly come to school hungry," said Summer Gathercole, Director of Share Our Strength Colorado. "Models like Breakfast in the Classroom make school breakfast more accessible and ensure our students are prepared to learn each day. The results show that simple changes to a school's breakfast program can create long-lasting change."
As part of the Campaign, Hunger Free Colorado works with schools and communities to increase participation in the School Breakfast Program by assisting with the implementation of innovative serving models that incorporate breakfast as part of the school's morning routine. Instead of the traditional method of serving breakfast in the cafeteria before classes start, elementary to high schools can make it easier for students with serving models like Breakfast in the Classroom, Grab and Go and Breakfast After First Period.

As of today, Nov. 1, the Low-income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) is available for eligible households through April 30, 2013. Qualifying limited-income households may receive help to pay a portion of their home energy bills.
For the 2012/2013 heating season, Garfield, Eagle and Pitkin counties have contracted with Discover Goodwill of southern and western Colorado to administer the program. The arrangement should help households seeking assistance get their benefits more quickly and at a lower cost to the county, said Tricia Murray, economic security division manager for Garfield County Department of Human Services.
Households may qualify for LEAP assistance if anyone within the home is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident, heating costs are paid directly to an energy provider or are included in the rent, and gross monthly household income is within income guidelines.
Another resource for those struggling with high heating bills is the Governor's Energy Office Energy Management Program, also known as the Weatherization Program. The program helps low- and moderate-income households reduce heating costs through insulation, caulking and weather-stripping, the installation of new storm windows and new energy-efficient furnaces and refrigerators. Those who qualify for LEAP, Temporary Aid to Needy Families, Old Age Pension or Supplemental Security Income automatically qualify for these weatherization services.
For more information on LEAP and other available resources, call Discover Goodwill at 1-888-775-5327 or Heat Help at 1-866-432-8435. For more information on the Weatherization Program, call 1-800-332-3669 or visit www.nwccog.org and click on "Weatherization Program."
The annual "Night of the Arts" exhibit of student art work will precede the opening performance of the school play, "Super Freaks," on Thursday, Nov. 1 from 5 to 7 p.m.
Along with student art work on display, the high school band and choir students will perform, "pumpkin installations" will take place, along with live wheel throwing demonstrations.
Along with "Night of the Arts," advanced pottery student Jazz Figueira will sell pottery to help support the hungry for his senior seminar. With the purchase of a bowl, a dinner of soup, stew, and other refreshments will be provided by the art department.
The Bureau of Land Management and Xcel Energy will host open house meetings Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 7-8, concerning a new proposed 230 kilovolt transmission line between Rifle and Parachute.
The transmission line would connect the Rifle Ute Substation, about 1.5 miles southeast of Rifle, with the Parachute Substation, about one mile northeast of Parachute. The estimated length of the route is 18 miles, of which approximately six miles could cross BLM lands. The routes being considered generally follow designated corridors with existing facilities. The permanent right-of-way requested averages 150-feet wide.
The new line is needed because the current transmission system in the area does not have the capacity to meet the needs of anticipated natural gas activity. As more gas operations, such as compressor stations, move to electric power to reduce cost and air emissions, demand for electricity has increased. The new line will also help ensure reliable electric power to central Garfield County communities.
The public is invited to stop by either of the two open houses anytime between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to learn more about the proposal and have their questions answered. Written comments will be accepted at the open houses as well.
The first open house will be Wednesday, Nov. 7 at the Rifle Public Library, 207 East Ave. The second will be Thursday, Nov. 8 at the Grand Valley Fire Protection District Station #1, 0124 Stone Quarry Road in Battlement Mesa.
The BLM will prepare an environmental analysis of the proposal. The detailed proposal, including maps, is available at www.blm.gov/co/crvfo.
Written comments and questions should be directed to the Colorado River Valley Field Office at 2300 River Frontage Road, Silt, CO, 81652, or e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com. Comments will be most helpful if received by Nov. 30.
LIFT-UP now hosts an Extended Table Soup Kitchen in Rifle each Tuesday from 5-6 p.m. at the Rifle United Methodist Presbyterian Church in the Lovell Building, 200 E. 4th St. The church is located one block east of Railroad Avenue, on the corner of Fourth and East streets.
The Extended Table started in 1995, and has served nutritious meals each Monday through Friday for the past 17 years in the basement of the First United Methodist Church, at the corner of 10th Street and Cooper Avenue, in Glenwood Springs.
Meals at both sites are prepared and served by volunteer groups. Last year, the Glenwood Springs location served 13,400 meals. This year, about 1,200 meals have been served each month, to roughly 60 people each weeknight.
Tami Griffith, a family nurse practitioners, has joined the staff at the Grand River Medical Clinic in Battlement Mesa. Griffith began seeing patients this week.
She comes to Grand River from St. Mary's Family Residency Clinic in Grand Junction, where she served for the past two years. Prior to that, she practiced in Grand County at the Granby Medical Center.
Griffith received her medical education at McNeese State University in Louisiana, and her masters degree from the University of South Alabama in 2002.
Griffith is originally from Fairhope, Ala., a town of about 8,000 people. When asked why she chose Grand River, Griffith said, "Rural health is what I love. Working in smaller communities, you have the opportunity to build strong connections with your patients and their families. That's so much more difficult to do in larger areas and cities."
Griffith and her husband, Jeff, currently live in Grand Junction. They plan to relocate to Mesa this summer. They both enjoy mountain biking, hiking, cross country skiing and snowmobiling.

Learner-Centered College
The College of Arts and Sciences centers its considerable human and technological resources on the individual student and that students learning. In the Mathematics Technology Learning Center, students use computer-based instruction to learn at a pace suited to their individual needs. Technology used in other courses encourages active, not passive, interaction with course materials. The college seeks to educate self-reliant young men and women who know themselves and contribute significantly to their professions and communities.
Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity
Undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences have remarkable access to opportunities for research and creative activities under the guidance of a faculty member. The opportunity to move from synthesizing information and ideas generated by others to creating new ways of knowing is a remarkable intellectual leap and one that many students in A&S take. The College sponsors undergraduate research days that encourage students to share their experiences.
Blount Undergraduate Initiative
Endowed by Winton and Carolyn Blount and assisted by many other donors, the Blount Undergraduate Initiative is a four-year program that offers students in the College of Arts and Sciences a unique opportunity for an enriched undergraduate liberal arts education in a lively and enjoyable community of scholars. All entering freshmen in the College of Arts and Sciences, regardless of their academic interests, are eligible to apply for admission. With courses and other activities, the program emphasizes the connectedness of knowledge and the importance of faculty-student learning partnerships. See the Blount Undergraduate Initiative section of this catalog.
Interdisciplinary Study
Virtually all of the programs of study of the college emphasize interdisciplinary study. Whether a students interest is American studies, studio art, or biology, the ability to draw together learning from different fields, to integrate it and to use it later to analyze and solve problems in ones profession, community, and own life is the key characteristic of a liberally educated person. Interdisciplinary learning is especially important to students experiences in New College. New College seminars that are open to all students and the New College depth studies are hands-on experiences with interdisciplinary learning.
Learning Communities
Any sense that a student can be just a number evaporates in a learning community. In the College of Arts and Sciences, these take different forms, some being residential and others not affecting the choice of residence hall, but all fuse common academic experiences with out-of-class community. The College emphasizes the importance of these for freshman students especially.
International Education
Citizenship is global. As the College prepares students for citizenship, this fact is emphasized across the curriculum. While the college has strong language programs, including the unique Critical Languages program in which students can study the languages of many parts of the world, global citizenship affects all of the disciplines of the college. College of Arts and Sciences faculty lead many of the Universitys summer study abroad programs and direct semester-long programs as well for students in the College.
Academic Exploration
Many students enter the College of Arts and Sciences undecided about their academic direction. The College encourages these students to explore the resources of the college and the University during their first several semesters in order to make informed choices. The University General Education Requirement, which includes virtually all of the introductory courses in the disciplines of the College, enables students to meet degree requirements while determining those fields of study that fit best with their talents and what they think is important.
Pre-professional Preparation
Many College of Arts and Sciences graduates go on to medical school, law school, dental or optometry school, physical or occupational therapy programs, or other health-related or professional study. Arts and Sciences majors provide excellent preparation for all of these programs and the Colleges pre-professional advising programs are very supportive. Student organizations, including Alpha Epsilon Delta, the pre-medical honorary in which UA is the alpha chapter, are also important parts of pre-professional preparation.

I've been looking at Zimbra on and off over the years but cannot confirm if it could be used as a stand alone SMTP server?
For many years, I've been using traditional linux SMTP servers for multi-domain hosting but when I came across this, I thought how interesting would it be to change out the SMTP server for something with so much more to offer. I know of a number of customers who have looked at zimbra also.
I would need all of the usual SMTP functions, POP, POPS, IMAP, IMAPS, webmail and full spam control by it's users.
Anyhow, would love some input, thanks.
PS: Yes, I read the community documentation, the features list, etc etc. So please, don't respond in an unwelcoming way asking me if I searched, I have and now it's time to ask the community for some input which I will most definitely appreciate. Sarcasm, I don't appreciate. (this obviously to the person who responded then deleted their response).
