Please vote up bug 30526!
The Zimbra ActiveSync implementation does not show the sender's name of the Zimbra account when sending email via MobileMail in iPhone 2.0. As tested with an Exchange 2003 stock installation, an Exchange ActiveSync account should show the sender's name as configured in Active Directory/LDAP for the Zimbra account, however this does not happen in a Zimbra ActiveSync account. This bug can make it difficult for recipients to quickly identify the sender of an email.
In short, if I sent an email from my Zimbra account via ActiveSync, I won't see Jason Hung <email@example.com>. I'll only see <email@example.com>. This is contrary to proper ActiveSync implementation. As a customer of the Network Edition, I hope to see this bug fixed. Zimbra has been very good to us customers, and I hope I will never have to use Exchange again.
- In iPhone 2.0, add account from the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" menu in Settings.
- Go to "Add Account..." and select "Microsoft Exchange."
- Enter email address, username, and password. Hit next once. You will be prompted to enter a server address.
- Enable the mail service.
- Send a test email to an account of your choice using the ActiveSync account where you will be able to view message headers.
- Observe that the Sender's Name is not included with the sent mail.
- An iPhone using an ActiveSync account should show the Sender's Name in the From field.

Hello, I performed a fresh installation of Zimbra CE 8 and users are facing now with a return receipt problem. When composing a message, if I select from the options dropdown menu "request return receipt", then the reciepient has no notification about this request.
Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Air Force and Navy will meet on the football field Saturday after an unusual week of preparation that saw emotions swing from disappointment to elation.
After the government shutdown put the game in jeopardy, a sellout crowd is expected to watch the first leg of the round-robin competition for the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, which Navy (2-1) reclaimed from Air Force (1-4) last year. The Midshipmen were outright winners of the trophy for seven straight seasons before losing it to the Falcons in 2010 and 2011.
Naval Academy athletic director Chet Gladchuk got the "last-minute reprieve" he was hoping would allow the service academy games to be played.
He had said if the Air Force-Navy game were to be cancelled that the emotional and financial toll it would take "would be incalculable."

BLACK FRIDAY ends tonight! Save $25 off $200* Use code: TLBF15
After a tumultuous few years with motorcycle racer Carey Hart it appears Pink has finally found out The Truth About Love and is sharing it on the latest Pink concert tour. With the birth of her first child Willow Sage Hart, it's finally game on for Pink tickets and tour dates! Hear her new single "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" along with other new material and Missundaztood classics from the Funhouse with Pink concert tickets!
Pink Concert Tickets
Not many people can pull off the style, charm, talent and hardcore attitude that Pink has. Born Alecia Moore of Doylestown, PA, Pink always had the dream of becoming a singer. When she hit high school, Pink joined her first band - Middleground. The band was a local hit but broke up after losing a talent competition. This would prove to be a blessing in disguise for Pink who later joined the Atlanta-based R & B group Choice. The group was short lived, however LaFace records signed her as a solo act soon after.
Pink concert tickets were available for opening acts with groups like N'Sync and Lenny Kravitz after her first studio release Can't Take Me Home- her most R & B oriented album to date. At first people buying tickets for Pink concerts expected a typical pop act but when they heard the strength of Pink's contralto range, Pink tickets became the hottest thing on the market! Her first charting single "There You Go," showcased a fuchsia-topped Pink getting revenge on her ex- the album hit the number 2 spot on US charts.
When Pink tickets went on sale after the release of her second and biggest selling album Missundaztood, Pink proved that her range went far beyond R & B. With hits like "Get This Party Started," "Don't Let Me Get Me" and "Just Like a Pill" exhibited more soulful and playful pop sounds. Although Pink concert tickets generally sold out for Pink, Pink's next two albums Try This and I'm Not Dead received positive reviews from critics but sold less than their predecessors.
Having released her fifth studio album Funhouse in 2008, the album has be certified platinum and her emotionally-charged "So What" and deeply introspective "Sober" have become US Top 20 hits proving that Pink has much more than staying power. To showcase Pink's new impassioned music, Pink is on tour for her latest album The Truth About Love and tickets for Pink concerts are on sale right now!
Pink tours has always been known for its high energy theatrics, and anthem-like atmosphere. If you'd like to sing along to "So What" and "True Love" then we've just given you a reason to get your cheap concert tickets for Pink today! You're guaranteed to have a great time, so look glance through our Pink tour dates and grab your tickets today!

3 Get up to 20 Years in Winans' Detroit Carjacking
DETROIT (AP) — Three men have been sentenced to up to 20 years in prison in the carjacking of prominent Detroit pastor and gospel music icon Marvin Winans.
Montoya Givens, Christopher Moorehead and Brian Young pleaded guilty last month to carjacking and unarmed robbery charges in the May 16 attack.
During Thursday's sentencing hearing in Detroit, Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Kam Towns told the judge that Winans hopes "these men use this as a wake-up call to get their lives together."
Winans is pastor of Perfecting Church on Detroit's east side. He delivered singer Whitney Houston's eulogy in February.
He was attacked while pumping gas. The robbers took his SUV, Rolex watch and $250 in cash. The 54-year-old sustained bruises and scrapes.
Arrests were made within days of the robbery.

The Trojan seventh-grade A squad lost in a double-overtime thriller and the B team had a tough time with the Wildcats.
The 7B team Trojans played a tough game against the visiting Wildcats. The boys had a tough game offensively and never could get much going. Joaquin Garza had four points, Jesse Castro and E.J. Valdez each had two apiece and Richard Delgado dropped in a free throw in the 21-9 loss.
The 7A team played well, but so did the Wildcats. It was all tied, 32-32, at the end of regulation to send the tilt into the first overtime. The two teams each scored four points in the first extra period to stay knotted. It was 36-36 at the start of the second three-minute extra period. The Wildcat again scored four points, but the Trojans managed to hit for just two to fall to the visitors 40-38.
Thomas Dang led the Beeville scoring with 14 points. Dolton Corpus hit for 10 points in the close loss. Joesea De La Cruz finished with seven, Raymond Barrientes added three and Bryan Lucio contributed two. Blake Casarez had one point.
"The Achilles heel for the Trojans so far has been our free throw shooting, and we've committed too many turnovers," said coach Ernest Gonzales.
Both the eighth-grade Trojans squads were victorious. The A squad continued its winning ways with a decisive 52-26 victory over the Wildcats.
"The Trojans started out a little rocky as we were short a few players due to injuries, but once we found our rhythm it was all Trojan ball after that," said coach Ricardo Maldonado.
The Trojans were up 14-4 after one period and it was 27-13 at the half. The MMS boys added 25 second half points to their total while holding the Wildcats to 12. It was a big 52-26 victory for the guys in burnt orange.
Leading the Trojans were the Cantu twins, Justin with 18 and Jordan with 11. Augie Canas added three triples for nine points; James Graham sank six and AJ Gomez and Jacob Castro both added four points.
"Defensive accolades go to Audrick Moorer as well as a few other players who contributed. The team effort is great right now, every player hustling on the court, working together, and when we are on our game we are a difficult team to beat," Maldonado said.
The 8B team boys defeated Calallen 18-14 to improve to 2-0 on the season and in district play. RJ Gonzales led the way with eight points and Johnathan Carillo tallied four. Alfredo Benavides and Rudy Casarez each scored two. Timothy Rincon and Colton Wright each hit a free throw in the fourth quarter.
"Overall defensively, we were aggressive and all over the court," said coach Oscar Vasquez.
The MMS Trojans travel to Gregory-Portland on Monday. Games begin at 5 p.m.

1968 Chevrolet C10 Air Conditioning Install - Creature Comforts On Ice, Part TwoWritten by on March 20, 2012 Running ducts, hoses, and wiring before getting charged.
When we left off last month, I'd pulled all the stock heater junk out of the truck and installed the condenser and dash vents, as well as the firewall block-off plates that covered the void left from the OEM heater box assembly. Returning to the project this month, we'll begin by installing the evaporator core under the dash along with the ducting to each vent. From there we'll wire the unit up starting under the dash and working our way towards the battery, hooking up the binary switch, grounds, and compressor. Since the SureFit kit comes ready to rock from Vintage Air, all the hoses and lines are cut to fit so it's a simple matter of mating each end to their respective connection and we're ready to charge the system.
One of the neatest features of the SureFit kit is the ability to use the stock A/C control unit, without the mechanical cables that the stock system used. Instead, Vintage Air utilizes a patented, ingenious cable converter system that sends the location of each switch electronically to the corresponding actuator. For example, when the fan switch is slid to "high," the fan motor receives a signal telling it to turn on to its highest setting. This makes wiring the system a simple plug-and-play procedure and yields a very user-friendly control system once the panel is properly calibrated.
After completing the install, it was time to charge the system. This is best trusted to a certified A/C mechanic with the proper equipment as the system needs to be evacuated to remove any moisture that might be present before being charged using 1.8 pounds (28.8oz.) of R134a refrigerant. Once charged, the high-side pressure should read between 160-250 psi while the low-side pressure should be between 6-12 psi in a steady state. Center duct temperature should be between 36-46 degrees Fahrenheit. If your system matches these parameters, you're good to go!
I put the system to the test right off the bat, blasting off from the office on a 90-degree late Summer day to sit on the 405 freeway during rush hour Southern California traffic. This time though, I was prepared and managed to sit in traffic in a state that I've never been accustomed to, comfort. With the A/C set to cold and the fan on medium, sitting in traffic with the sun beating down on the truck, it really didn't seem all that bad. In fact, it was quite tolerable. Actually, it was comfortable. What usually would have been a miserable experience was made quite pleasant given the fact that I could keep the windows rolled up and adjust the temperature of the cab to suit my taste. I think I could get used to this kind of commuting. CCT

… as well as the hard lines and front bracket. Don't forget to lube the O-rings prior to installation! The lines are, from the top, #10 suction, #6 liquid, heater to water pump, heater to intake.After the #10 suction line is installed, the entire line is wrapped with the supplied press tape to cover any exposed metal. This prevents condensation buildup from happening due to the extremes in temperature between the refrigerant and the interior of the cab.With the evaporator mounted loosely to the firewall via the rear bracket, the front bracket mounting holes are transferred to the cowl area, then drilled 3⁄16-inch.Once the evaporator is securely mounted, the premade hoses can then be routed. The #10 suction line attaches to the appropriate fitting on the compressor while the #6 liquid hose runs forward to the #6 drier line. The #8 fitting on the compressor mates to the condenser line under the battery tray.Back inside the cab, the duct hose is routed to each duct according to the schematic provided. The two diagonal ducts on the evaporator run to the defrost ducts via 2-inch hose while the three 2 1/2-inch outlets on the left run to the center, passenger side, and driver side from the top respectively.Wiring the system is pretty straight forward. The red wire coming from the evaporator connects to one end of a 30AMP circuit breaker mounted as close as possible to the battery while the white lead connects to BATT NEG.Two relays are supplied and can be mounted near the evaporator; the heater control valve relay and A/C compressor relay. The heater control valve relay is wired to one side of the heater control valve by a green wire while the other side connects to the 30AMP circuit breaker up near the battery. The 30AMP circuit breaker is connected directly to 12V. The white wire running from the heater control valve goes to chassis ground.
The violet wire on the evaporator harness connects to IGN while the white wire runs to the BATT NEG. In our case, the brown wire is the old POS heater wire that runs from the key switch so it was a simple matter of plug and play to get IGN power to the system.The main harness plugs into the front of the evaporator. The empty space on the right is where the control wiring harness will plug in a bit later.Here's a look at the finished system under the hood. Note the routing of the heater hoses and the orientation of the heater control valve. The valve portion should be below the electronics portion so as not to short the valve should it leak.The last and final step is to charge the system. I took the truck down to my buddy Tommy Gonzales, who's an A/C certified mechanic. After evacuating the system for nearly an hour and checking for leaks, he charged the system with 1.8 pounds (28.8oz.) of R134a refrig-erant.The Vintage Air SureFit kit comes with a new faceplate to replace the stock unit, with the correct identifying monikers in place
With a new LMC dash pad in place and an OEM radio delete plate, the dash is starting to look like an original A/C truck. The only thing left is to program the control harness according to Vintage Air's detailed instructions and we're cruisin' cool.While our truck was a heater-only optioned truck, we were lucky enough to find an original A/C control panel at a local junk yard. A bit worse for wear, it will make the install nicer when it's all said and done due to the fact that it's an A/C panel and not a heater panel.The first step is to disassemble the control panel. The knobs are removed, followed by the faceplate, lens, and backing plate by gently prying the holding tabs apart.We have two options for the A/C control panel when it comes to faceplates: Vintage Air's modified version (included in the kit) and LMC's OEM style.The backing plate and lens may require modification to ensure that adequate light enters the clear faceplate lens.The five green light apertures should appear as shown. If not, file down the offending surface on the backing plate so that the green light aperture becomes visible. The faceplate can then be secured to the backing plate using foil tape.
The first cable converter to be installed is the off/hi lever. It attaches to the push rod using a 3⁄16-inch push-on ring and to the panel bracket using the OEM screw.It's positioned so that the flat part of the rod is as close to flush as possible with the end of the housing at the lever's inner most position before being secured in place.Each cable converter has a separate wiring harness assigned to it and a specific manner for it to be attached.

Muslims in Europe
In the Headlines: Swiss Voters Veto New Minarets
If you're like me, you want to know more about the issues facing Muslims in Europe, and the other Europeans who have welcomed them--or failed to welcome them--to their countries.
From the recent vote to forbid construction of new minarets in Switzerland to the killings of Pym Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh in the Netherlands, from the ban on headscarves in French schools to the bombing of the trains in Madrid, Muslims in Europe are in the news.
What's Behind the Headlines?
The questions are complex.
How do ordinary Europeans, Muslims, Christians, Jews, and nonbelievers feel? How does the assimilation or integration of immigrants in Europe differ from that in the US? How does, say, British Islam compare with Pakistani Islam? Is the encounter between Islam and the West a clash of civilizations or a fertile meeting of minds and souls?
My Recommendations
I recommend the following San Mateo County Library books on the subject:
A Heart Turned East: Among the Muslims of Europe and America
by Adam Lebor
A British journalist travels through Bosnia, Western Europe and America before 9/11; he reveals both Europe's forgotten Islamic past and its prejudice towards Muslims in the present.
The Islamic World and the West : An Introduction to Political Cultures and International Relations
edited by Kai Hafez; with a foreword by Mohammed Arkoun and Udo Steinbach; translated from the German
by Mary Ann Kenny
Sixteen essays, most by German academics, on the political/international relationships between Islamic cultures on the one hand and Europe and America on the other.
Islam: Opposing Viewpoints by William Dudley, book editor
This most recent of the titles on Islam in the Opposing Viewpoints series presents pro & con articles questioning whether Islamic values clash with or are consistent with Western values; topics include democracy, the status of women, terrorism, and jihad.
The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror by Bernard Lewis
In this concise work, Lewis expands on an article he wrote for the New Yorker and explains the historical roots of Muslim unease with and in some cases radical hostility towards the West.
Western Muslims and the Future of Islam by Tariq Ramadan
An innovative Swiss Muslim reformer, Ramadan believes that Islam is not in conflict with Western ideals but can harmonize with them and fruitfully engage with them; he proposes a new, Western Islam.
The Great Confrontation: Europe and Islam Through the Centuries by Ilya V. Gaiduk
This work by a Russian writer surveys the encounter between Islam and Europe throughout history, and sees economic cooperation and peaceful coexistence more than a "clash of civilizations".
The War for Muslim Minds: Islam and the West by Gilles Kepel; translated by Pascale Ghazaleh
French intellectual Kepel focuses mostly on relations between the Middle East and the U.S., but in one chapter covers the conditions of Muslims in Europe.
Murder in Amsterdam: The Death of Theo van Gogh and the Limits of Tolerance by Ian Buruma
A very readable, balanced account (also an expanded New Yorker article), described by the publisher as a "true crime page turner", of the murder of Theo Van Gogh, gadfly fimmaker and great-grandnephew of the painter, by a Muslim extremist; Buruma is a Dutch-American writer who returned to his native country to examine the roots of Muslim discontent in Holland. If you only read one book on European Muslims, read this one.
While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West From Within by Bruce Bawer
What Buruma describes as "the limits of tolerance," Bawer characterizes as "Europe in denial;" he warns of Muslim immigration as a ticking time bomb that may be too late to dismantle.
Infidel [sound recording] by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Hirsi Ali, a native of Somalia who found refuge in Holland, collaborated with Theo Van Gogh on a provocative film about Muslim women, and after his murder continued to live in the Netherlands under armed police protection. In this memoir she describes her path from a childhood of abuse to an adulthood of activism, and criticises Islam's attitudes toward and treatment of women.
Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: Immigration, Islam, and the West by Christopher Caldwell
This is a very thought-provoking, up-to-date book which challenges liberal assumptions about the encouragement of Muslim immigration to Europe; whether you agree with its author's opinions or not, it's worth reading because it will make you think.

How to play with friends online, by creating a fake LAN on your PS3
Hi guys. I´ve been struggling to find a way to play Black Ops with my friends in a different country without PSN acces due to PS3 JB, and then after a few hours of research i finally found a simple way to do it. What it does is, capturing your PS3´s connection and forward it to your buddies computer and vice versa. This making it possible to start a LAN game on your PS3, and still be able to find your mate even though youre not in the same house.
You have a computer which is online
Knowledge about portforwarding (It´s quite simple – see www.portforwarding.com for guidance)
How to? Follow the following steps:
1. Download, install, and run XBSLink on your computer
- http://www.secudb.de/~seuffert/xbslink/xbslink-download
2. Fill out these things in XBSLink:
See picture attachment for eventual guidance
- Your buddys IP address in the field Remote Host (1)
- Choose your capture device (the network card your computer is connected to the internet with) (2)
- Tab "Enable special MAC List (3)
- Type in your PS3´s MAC address, and click Add in the buttom of XBSLink(4)
3. Forward the Port number 31415 to your PC where XBSlink is installed (see www.portforwarding.com)
4. Click "Start Engine" in XBSLink after you´ve portforwarded the port 31415 to your PC (5)
Now, make your buddie do exactly the same thing on his computers as you just did, doing the same steps from 1 to 4.
5. Click "Announce to host" (6)
If you are three people playing in three different places, you would make your buddies type in your IP address in their Remote Host in XBSlink - After they click on Accounce to Host, you would automatically see the message "* Anonymous joined.", under the tab Chat.
This should work, provided that you portforwarded correctly to your computer.
Now you´re ready to play a LAN multiplayer game on your PS3´s! Tested and working with Call Of Duty Black OPS, with computer hooked up trough cable, and PS3´s trough WiFi.
Q & A´s
My buddie and I, cant connect to eachother – nothing happens when we click on Announce to host
- Check that you typed your buddies IP address in your Remote Host in XBSLink (not your own)
- Check that your firewalls aren't blocking for XBSLink
- Check that you portforwarded to your PC correctly
Where do I find my PS3´s MAC Adress?
- System Settings -> System Information -> Your MAC adress i located at the top here
XBSLink wont add my PS3´s Mac address:
- Type your make address in without the :

|APC's Women's Rights Programme statement: Forwarding violence is violence
The Association for Progressive Communications Women's Rights Programme (APC WRP) rejects and condemns systemic, technology-related violence against women in all its expressions. The acts of recording, photographing and documenting acts of sexual violence and further distribution and sharing are all part of the violence. With each view, share and forward, people are continuing and replicating the violence. These actions are not separate from structures of gender inequality and discrimination that enable sexual harassment, violence and assault to perpetuate.

ISHR makes this statement on behalf of members of the Women Human Rights Defender International Coalition, an international network of women's rights, human rights and sexual rights organizations. We address this simple fact: in the global North and South alike, women human rights defenders are targeted for murder, kidnapping, torture, rape, and harassment because of who we are and because of the work we do. As the Council strengthens its work on women generally, we note the critical need to integrate analysis and reporting on women human rights defenders who demand protection, respect and fulfillment of all human rights.

Here are answers to some common questions about backing up and restoring files.
Windows provides the following backup tools:
File backup
Windows Backup allows you to make copies of data files for all people that use the computer. You can let Windows choose what to back up or you can select the individual folders, libraries, and drives that you want to back up. By default, your backups are created on a regular schedule. You can change the schedule and you can manually create a backup at any time. Once you set up Windows Backup, Windows keeps track of the files and folders that are new or modified and adds them to your backup. To set up file backup, see Back up your files.
System image backup
Windows Backup provides you with the ability to create a system image, which is an exact image of a drive. A system image includes Windows and your system settings, programs, and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working. When you restore your computer from a system image, it is a complete restoration; you can't choose individual items to restore, and all of your current programs, system settings, and files are replaced.
Although this type of backup includes your personal files, we recommend that you back up your files regularly using Windows Backup so that you can restore individual files and folders as needed. When you set up scheduled file backup, you can choose whether you want to include a system image. This system image only includes the drives required for Windows to run. You can manually create a system image if you want to include additional data drives.
Previous versions
Previous versions are copies of files and folders that Windows automatically saves as part of system protection. You can use previous versions to restore files or folders that you accidentally modified or deleted, or that were damaged. Depending on the type of file or folder, you can open, save to a different location, or restore a previous version. Previous versions can be helpful, but should not be considered a backup because the files get replaced by new versions and will not be available if the drive were to fail. For more information, see Previous versions of files: frequently asked questions.
System Restore
System Restore helps you restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time. It's a way to undo system changes to your computer without affecting your personal files, such as e‑mail, documents, or photos. System Restore uses a feature called system protection to regularly create and save restore points on your computer. These restore points contain
information about registry settings and other system information that Windows uses. You can also create restore points manually. For more information about System Restore, see What is System Restore?
That depends on the size of the files you back up. We recommend that you save your backup on an external hard drive that can hold at least 200 GB. Windows Backup keeps track of the files that have been added or modified since your last backup and then updates the existing backup, which saves disk space. You can manage the disk space that is used for your backups by doing the following:
Open Backup and Restore by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Backup and Restore.
Click Manage space.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
If you haven't set up backup, you won't see Manage space.
To delete older file backups, under Data file backup, click View backups.
You can then select the file backups that you want to delete, which will free up disk space. Deleting an entry in the list will not have an impact on other backups. If you think that you don't need a version of your files from a certain backup period, you can delete that backup. We recommend that you always keep the most recent backup.
To change the amount of space that is used by system image backups, under System image, click Change settings.
You can then choose to have Windows save older system image backups or just the most recent system image backup.
You can view the contents of your backup by opening the Restore Files wizard.
Do one of the following:
To view your files, click Restore my files.
To view all users' files, click Restore all users' files.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
To browse the contents of the backup, click Browse for files or Browse for folders.
When you are browsing for folders, you won't be able to see the individual files in a folder. To view individual files, use the Browse for files option.
To search the contents of the backup, click Search, type all or part of a filename, and then click Search.
You restore files using the Restore Files wizard. You can restore individual files, multiple files, or all files in a backup. You can also restore just your files or files for all people that use the computer. To restore files, see Restore files from a backup.
Yes. There are two ways that you can recover files:
If you have a backup that contains the file, you can restore the file from the backup. For more information, see Restore files from a backup.
If you don't have a backup that contains the file, you might be able to restore a previous version of the file. Windows automatically saves copies of files that are modified (including files that are deleted) with restore points; these files are called previous versions. To use previous versions to restore a file, see Recover lost or deleted files.
It depends on the type of backups you have made and what files you want to restore.
If you have a system image backup, you can restore Windows, your programs, and your files. For instructions about restoring your computer using a system image backup, see Restore your computer from a system image backup.
If you have a file backup, you can restore your files on another computer or have your computer repaired and then restore your files on it. For instructions about restoring your files, see Restore files from a backup.
Article ID: MSW700055
A file backup is a copy of a file that is stored in a separate location from the original. You can have multiple backups of a file if you want to track changes to the file.
Backing up your files helps to protect them from being permanently lost or changed in the event of accidental deletion, a worm or virus attack, or a software or hardware failure. If any of those things occur and your files are backed up, you can easily restore those files. To back up files, see Back up your files.
You should back up anything that would be difficult or impossible to replace, and regularly back up files that you change frequently. Pictures, videos, music, projects, and financial records are examples of files that you should back up.
You don't need to back up programs because you can use the original product disks to reinstall them, and programs typically take up a lot of disk space.
It depends on the number of files you create and how often you create them. If you create new files every day, you might want to back up weekly or even daily. If you occasionally create many files—for example, if you save a lot of digital photos from a birthday party or graduation, back them up right away. It's best to schedule regular, automatic backups so you don't even have to think about it. You can choose to have your files backed up daily, weekly, or monthly. You can also back up manually between automatic backups.
The ability to set up automatic backups is not included in Windows Vista Home Basic; however, Windows will periodically remind you to back up your files.
The Back Up Files wizard backs up the most common file types. The following files are not included:
Files that have been encrypted using Encrypting File System (EFS)
If you are running Windows Vista Service Pack 1, EFS encrypted files are included in backups. EFS is not included in Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic, and Windows Vista Home Premium. For more information about installing Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1), see Learn how to install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1).
System files (the files that Windows needs to run)
Program files
Files stored on hard disks that are formatted using the FAT file system
Web-based e-mail that is not stored on your hard disk
Files that are in the Recycle Bin
Temporary files
User profile settings
That depends on the size of the files you back up. Windows keeps track of the files that have been added or modified since your last backup so you only have to update the existing backup, which saves disk space.
When you choose a location to save your backup to, the wizard searches your computer and displays a list of all locations that you can use. If the location that you want to use doesn't appear in the list, it could be due to one of the following problems:
The location is a tape drive. You can't save backups to tapes.
The location is the disk that you are trying to back up. You can't back up a disk to itself. For example, you can't back up the contents of drive E to drive E.
The location is a CD-ROM drive. You can't use a CD-ROM drive to make a backup; you must use a CD burner, also known as a CD-R or CD-RW drive.
The location is a USB flash drive. You can't save backups to a flash drive.
The location is not formatted as NTFS, FAT, or Universal Disk Format (UDF) (also called Live File System). Backups can only be saved to disks that are formatted using the NTFS, FAT, or UDF file systems. For more information, see Comparing NTFS and FAT file systems.
The location is either the system disk (the disk that Windows is installed on—also called the C drive) or the boot disk (the disk that Windows uses to start your computer—also called the startup disk).
The location is a network share on a computer running Windows XP Home Edition. You can't save backups to these shares because setting permissions on network shares and authenticating over a network are not supported by Windows XP Home Edition.
Not unless your backup fits on one disc and the disc is in the computer when the backup starts. Otherwise, schedule the backup for a time when you will be available to insert the discs. Windows will notify you later that the backup wasn't completed; you can then insert a disc to continue the backup.
If you run out of discs during a backup, you can finish later.
Yes. The last saved version of each file is backed up, so any files you change during the backup will need to be backed up the next time. You can schedule automatic backups to occur during the night or at a time when you are not working on files. You can still do things like read e‑mail or use the Internet while a backup is in progress.
You cannot get copies of files that are on a missing disc. However, you can restore files on the backup discs previous to and after the missing one. If you don't know exactly what's on the missing disc, you can see a list of the files that you have backed up.
If you are running Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, or Windows Vista Ultimate, you can use shadow copies to recover previous versions of files directly from your hard disk, rather than from a backup.
Open Backup and Restore Center by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Backup and Restore Center.
Click Restore files.
You can browse or search the contents of the backup.
When you burn a copy of your files to a CD or DVD or save a copy to an external hard disk, each time you want to do a backup, you have to manually select each file and folder that you want to back up. You also have to remember to regularly back up new or modified files and folders. This can be time-consuming and tedious. When you use the Back Up Files wizard, Windows keeps track of which files and folders are new or modified. Then, when you make a new backup, you can back up all of the data on your computer or just the files that have changed since the last time you made a backup. If you set up automatic backups, Windows regularly backs up your files and folders so that you don't have to remember to do it.
No. If your computer is turned off during the scheduled backup time, automatic backups will not run. However, the next time you turn on your computer, you will be able to back up your files and resume the normal backup schedule.
If your backups are saved to CDs or DVDs, you can discard discs containing earlier backups, but make sure that you keep the most recent backup of your files. If your backups are saved to an internal or external hard disk, you can delete a backup by following these steps:
Open the location where the backup is saved.
For example, if you backed up your files to an external hard disk labeled "E," connect the external hard disk to your computer, and then open drive E.
Right-click the folder containing the backup you want to delete, and then click Delete.
Backups are saved in this format: <backup location>\<computer name>\Backup Set <year-month-day> <time>. For example, if your computer name is Computer, your backup location is E, and you backed up on April 2, 2006 at 16:32:00, that backup would be located in E:\Computer\Backup Set 2006-02-04 163200. You would right-click the folder named Backup Set 2006-02-04 163200 to delete that backup.
When you make a full backup, a backup folder is created and labeled with the date for that day. As you add updates, that date stays the same, but your backup is not out of date. The next time you make a full backup, a new backup folder is created and labeled with the date for that day, and any updates are then added to that new folder. You should not delete the current backup folder.

Climber Dies on El Cap
On Sunday, June 2, a fatal accident occurred on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, California. The National Park Service reports that Felix Joseph Kiernan of London, England, was struck by a rock while climbing roughly 600 feet up the East Buttress of El Cap. The rock was reportedly one-foot by two-feet and traveled approximately 150 feet before before hitting Kiernan. The accident occurred at about 2 p.m on Sunday. A team of climbers below called in the accident via cell phone and Yosemite Search and Rescue (YOSAR) began climbing the route to reach the the scene of the accident. YOSAR members reportedly reached Kiernan at 4 p.m. where he was pronounced dead. The rescuers then employed the use of helicopters to airlift him to the valley floor. Kiernan was 28-years-old.

I have a final goal for students, and that is to "get their hands dirty." Even introductory courses will present students with opportunities to collect, analyze, and evaluate data. My research includes both lab and fieldwork components that provide mentorship and training opportunities for students at all phases in their academic careers -- I am always looking for students to work with me in my research, in the lab and in the field! Ultimately, I hope to engage all student communities in the biological sciences, and instill a broader understanding of the role of science in understanding and solving the many challenges currently facing our ecosystems and global societies.
BES 180 Introductory Biology
My main research interests involve the role of matrix habitats (i.e., the usually degraded or human-managed lands beyond protected areas) in mammal conservation in the Neotropics. My most recent research focuses on bats in coffee plantations in the tropics. Specifically, I have been investigating both the relationship between management intensity and bat assemblage structure, and the effects of bat predation on arthropod populations and levels of herbivory in agroecosystems. My research has shown that coffee plantations that incorporate a high degree of shade cover from native tree species have levels of bat diversity that rival those of undisturbed forest, suggesting that these areas can provide valuable alternative habitat for bats and other wildlife. Additionally, I have demonstrated that maintaining bats in coffee plantations can benefit coffee farmers, because insect-eating bats help limit the numbers of insects in coffee plantations, helping to prevent pest outbreaks. This study was the first to quantitatively assess and demonstrate the impact of bats in a tropical agricultural system and was published in the journal Science.
Currently, I am expanding my research on insectivorous bats in Mexican shade coffee plantations. Specifically, I am using molecular methods to describe the diets of these bats, by isolating, amplifying, and identifying insect DNA from bat feces. I am also studying the availability and distribution of arboreal bat roosts in the shade coffee plantations, in order to relate the distribution of bat roosts to locations of high and low bat predation on insects. Additionally, as part of my work as a conservation scientist for the Nicaraguan environmental NGO Paso Pacífico, I am developing research on the diversity and ecosystem services of bats and small mammals in the forest fragments and agricultural areas of southwestern Nicargua.
For my dissertation, I studied the ecology of howler monkeys living in a shade coffee plantation in Mombacho Volcano, Nicaragua. This research demonstrated that shade coffee plantations can serve as core habitat for forest-adapted mammals. After completing my dissertation, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher for the Saint Louis Zoo, based in Bosawás Biosphere Reserve in northern Nicaragua. I collaborated with indigenous Miskito and Mayangna residents in Bosawás to study the population status and subsistence hunting of large mammals and birds. I am also a research scientist with Paso Pacífico, an NGO dedicated to conservation of Central America's remaining fragments of tropical dry forest. This work has focused on monitoring the status of primate populations in forest fragments in western Nicaragua.

WASHINGTON – Starting Thursday, airfares will look different because airlines have to include taxes and mandatory fees in their advertisements.
Those taxes also must be included on airlines' websites, online travel sites, social media and in emails.
Airlines fought the changes. Steve Lott, spokesman for the industry trade group Airlines for America, said he expects ads will now include a range of prices for a destination, rather than those low-price deals airlines had offered.
People who travel internationally will see the biggest changes in prices. By the time taxes, fuel surcharges and other fees are added up, the real cost for a flight can rise $200 round-trip.
The changes are part of new airline passenger protections the U.S. Department of Transportation put in place.
Not included in the new prices will be optional fees, including charges for checked bags.

As you may know by now, princess of commodified quirk Zooey Deschanel has just gotten around to filing for divorce from her estranged husband Ben Gibbard, which has somehow resulted in an account of her personal finances getting released to the public. They're fairly boring, all things considered. Apparently, Deschanel makes $95,000/month and spends a fraction of that (~$22,000) living incredibly well; according to the document, she spends $1,000 on groceries and household supplies, $500 on eating out, $800 on utilities (turn out the damn lights!), $300 for "her various phones and email accounts" (isn't email free?), $600 on laundry and cleaning and $2,000 on clothes.
Or does she? Maybe this balance sheet is but a smokescreen for what Zooey's actually spending her money on: items fantastical and fine. Here's where I think the money is actually going. More

Item # SHI0390
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Front Derailleurs in stock than that.View Similar Products
Shimano Ultegra Di2 FD-6770 Front Derailleur $0.00
Without the cost concern of Dura-Ace, the Shimano Ultegra Di2 group is simply brilliant. And with performance indistinguishable from their top-shelf version, this Ultegra Di2 FD-6770 Front Derailleur is part of what will become the new revolution in shifting. Will it overshadow Dura-Ace? We think not. The aesthetic differences are prominent, and the Ultegra derailleurs lack a touch of Dura-Ace's tidy, sleek design. The reason for the slightly bulked-up appearance of Ultegra is due to the use of off-the-shelf servo motors rather than the custom units as found in the Dura-Ace changers. The performance is identical, but the size of the internals determines the overall package dimension.
Besides the affordability, we love that the Ultegra Di2 front derailleur has a self-trimming function. This is a marvelous feature and is so amazing you have to see it to truly appreciate it. There's an integrated central processing unit (CPU) that knows which gear your bike is in and thus knows where the front derailleur needs to be in relation to the chain. That's the coolest feature and probably the main reason they call their electronic shifting Di2 --Digital Integrated Intelligence.
A second feature of the shifting that is much harder to see, but equally significant is the "programmed motion" of the derailleur. As with the rear derailleur, the front derailleur cage moves back and forth via a motor-driven worm drive. Once the low and high limits are set, the derailleur will take care of the rest -- you don't have to do anything else. As you make a shift, it derails the chain onto the big or small ring. Half a second after the shift, the derailleur will re-center on the chain. This re-centering reduces the chance of the chain bouncing off of either ring when you coast over bumps in the road. And it also ensures no chain rub on the cage plates. To be rid forever of that annoying sound is more joyous to us than you can imagine.
The Shimano Ultegra Di2 FD-6770 Front Derailleur comes as a braze-on style only. Clamps are available to fit 31.8 and 34.9mm seat tubes. It's designed to work with both standard and compact gearing for double-chainring cranksets. The wire kits and other associated electronic pieces are sold separately. Please note that this derailleur is not compatible with 7900 Dura-Ace Di2 levers or wire kits.

smooth & reliable shifting
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have this derailleur on both of my road bikes and i will never go back to mechanical. no shifting errors of any kind, always dependable and consistent. hopefully the price will come down more given that the newer 6780 is available. being able to set it and forget it is a very nice convenience, with no cable stretch/fatigue over time. battery life allows for several months of shifting between charges. i've put > 2,500K miles on my bikes with these derailleurs with no problems.

KLEM Local Schedule (week of June 24)
MONDAY RESULTS - June 24
(high school softball)
(#3-4A) Le Mars 2, Spirit Lake 1 (RECORD: 25-0 / 9-0)
Remsen-Union 10, Gehlen Catholic 5 (RECORD: 10-13 / 6-8)
(LE MARS) -- The unbeaten Le Mars girls side-stepped an upset bid by Spirit Lake Monday night to pull out a 2-1 victory in Lakes Conference softball action at the Bulldogs Sports Complex.

The win was their 28th of the season, matching the school record set a year ago. The Lady Bulldogs improved to 28-and-0 with an 11-and-0 conference mark. Sophomore Jayme Kelly was given an opportunity to pitch a varsity game, giving Molly Renken another night of rest. Kelly allowed three hits with three walks and four strike outs.

Le Mars took a 7-1 lead in the top of the third inning and seemingly were on the way to an easy win.

Quick Takes
"Quick Takes" Continued...
Science of slurp
Ever wonder why cats lap quietly and dogs slurp loudly? Maybe not, but an MIT biophysicist did, and his discovery landed in the latest issue of the journal Science. Cats, Dr. Roman Stocker found, have tongues that curl backwards, not forwards. As the tongue darts down toward the bowl, it touches the surface of the liquid rather than penetrating it, the fluid sticks to the tongue, and the cat drawing the tongue up very rapidly creates a liquid column. Dogs scoop their liquid by creating a ladle with their tongues. After capturing his own cat Cutta Cutta on slow-motion photography, Stocker concluded: "I would say cats know more about fluid mechanics than dogs."
He needs his space?
How much house is too much? Three stories? Four? How about 27? That's the number of floors in the new abode of India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani. Construction on the Indian business tycoon's new residence began in 2007 and eventually cost between $500 million and $700 million to build. Though 27 stories, the tower is actually 568 feet tall, making it as tall as a normal 60-floor office tower. The residence tower, named Antilia, begins with a six-floor parking garage with enough space for 160 vehicles. Nine elevators and three helipads will deliver Ambani, his family, and guests to the more than 60,000 square feet of living space.
Coconut caution
When the president of the United States comes visiting, you can never be too cautious. How cautious were officials in Mumbai? They cut down all coconuts from the coconut trees surrounding the city's Ghandi museum ahead of President Obama's early November visit. Every year people are injured or killed from being hit by falling coconuts. "We told the authorities to remove the dry coconuts from trees near the building," a government spokesman told the BBC. "Why take a chance?"
Horse power
A horse is a horse. But is it a weapon? Administrators at Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School in Hamilton, Mass., say it is. In late October, senior Dan DePaolis dressed as a knight and rode his family's horse to school for the school's spirit week. DePaolis' father, Ron, said the horse was calm and that his son only walked the horse around school grounds for three minutes before an associate principal came out and suspended DePaolis on the spot. "They told my son it's the equivalent of bringing in a loaded firearm to school," the father told the Boston Globe. The 17-year-old student was suspended for one day and prescribed two hours of community service for his horsing around.
Running man
Days after Muhammad Ali and George Foreman's famous Rumble in the Jungle bout in 1974, Walter Byerly started running. Today, more than 13,000 days later, the 80-year-old Byerly is still running, having run at least a mile every single day for the past 36 years. Although Byerly's pace has slowed to just 16 minutes per mile, it just gives the octogenarian more time to pray for his friends (what he does to pass the time). Amazingly, the Dallas man's streak is only good enough for 11th place in the United States for consecutive daily mile runs. According to the U.S. Streak Running Association, Mark Covert, a coach from Lancaster, Calif., holds the active national record having logged at least a mile a day since July 1968. But Byerly is no slouch. At 80, he's the oldest person on the organization's streak list.
Rescue at sea
His name won't be reported in the press, but a 19-year-old Australian woman will never forget him. Elyse Frankcom was swimming with dolphins off the coast of western Australia on Oct. 30 when a shark, believed to be a Great White, attacked the young woman, biting her on her legs. That's when an anonymous man jumped into action, grabbing the large shark by its tail. The bold move caused the surprised shark to let go of Frankcom, who then began to drown. The man then dove, brought her to the surface, and got her on board their boat. After six hours of surgery, Frankcom emerged in good spirits. The unidentified man refused to speak with journalists.
The right stuff
What does it take to build your own spaceship? Not much, it turns out. British space enthusiasts Steve Daniels, John Oates, and Lester Haines created a paper airplane, used a helium balloon to launch it 17 miles into the atmosphere, and managed to capture images of the planet with a small camera on board. The balloon and the plane, which had a three-foot wingspan, took 90 minutes to make the climb, and the trio used a GPS system to track the plane's progress. When the balloon burst, the plane glided back to the earth. "We decided to launch a paper plane because nobody has done that before," Daniels told the Daily Mail. "It seems really silly but it was brilliant fun."
Checking in
Finally after 60 years, the Boston Public Library has its John Stuart Mill autobiography back. An anonymous man returned two books to the library by mail after having checked them out in 1950. The package, containing a book by Henry David Thoreau and another by the 19th-century British political theorist, also contained a letter by the forgetful library user: "While going through the books in my library, I came across these two books that don't belong to me, they belong to you. I must have taken them out when I was a college student in Boston and put them among my other books, and never realized that I failed to return them." With a policy of a 10-cents-per-day fine for late books, the return could have cost the man $4,000. However, an official with the library said they'll drop the fine-they're just happy to have their books back.
Handwritten help
Sometimes a president's words can be prophetic-or, in the case of a note written by President Obama to a financially downtrodden woman, self-prophetic. On Jan. 8, an aide to the president brought in a letter written to him by Jennifer Cline of Monroe, Mich. In the letter, the 28-year-old explained to the president, "I lost my job, my health benefits and my self-worth in a matter of five days." Obama replied to the letter by hand, writing, among other things, that "things will keep getting better." Months later, they did. The woman recently sold the handwritten note to an autograph dealer for $7,000-money she spent to help her and her husband buy a new house.

DANVILLE - In River's three regular-season losses, turnovers and mistakes that placed the Pilots defense in tough positions and ultimately led to its downfall.
That was the case again Friday as a low punt snap, coupled with a critical fumble allowed Danville to take a 14-0 lead at the half in an Ohio Division VI, Region 23 quarterfinal matchup.
The Pilots were never able to recover and fell to the top-seeded Blue Devils, 30-6, ending their season with a 7-4 record.
''Again, our mistakes led to scores,'' River coach Mike Flannery said. ''Then we came out after the half and failed to get a fourth-and-1 on our first drive. They scored right after and instead of being down 14-6, we trailed 22-0.''
River had perfect scoring opportunities in the first half, twice driving deep into Blue Devils territory.
Both drives stalled and resulted in field-goal attempts.
The first, a 42-yarder, came up short when sophomore Colton Wright slipped on the wet grass. The second, a 38-yarder, had the distance but Wright's attempt missed right.
River was still in good shape after forcing Danville quarterback Bryce Staats to fumble inside the Pilots 20, thwarting a drive.
River, however, was unable to advance out of its own end and when Wright was forced to punt on fourth down, he had to scramble to field a low snap. Unable to break free or get the ball out of the back of the end zone for a safety, the Devils' JaMarcus Hershberger recovered the loose ball for a touchdown.
On River's next drive it fumbled on first down and four plays later, Staats hit Austin Hazen from 17 yards out for a 14-0 advantage with 20 seconds remaining before the half.
After River's first drive of the second half was stopped on downs, Danville again went to work.
This time, Staats connected with Corey Geog from 38 yards out, the first of two scoring connections for the pair. Staats finished with 196 yards and three scores on 19 of 24 passing.
''He's a pretty special quarterback,'' Flannery said. ''He had 2,000 yards passing and 1,000 rushing for a reason and you can see why. He made the plays.''
River, which had decent success through the air, finally got on the board in the fourth when Nick Asturi bulled his way in from 2 yards out. The 2-point conversion pass failed, leaving the Pilots down 22-6.
Asturi finished with 48 yards on 20 carries, never quite getting untracked as Danville's front four controlled the line of scrimmage all game.
''They did a really good job,'' Danville coach Ed Honaberger said. ''We dropped a guy down to make a five-man front to try to contain them. River pounded on people all year so we knew we had to win the battle there.''
The Blue Devils advance to Friday's regional semifinal opposite Zanesville Rosecrans, a winner against Symmes Valley.
Rosecrans defeated Danville earlier in the season, 21-7, and also knocked the Blue Devils out of the postseason at in 2011.

|Dorothy Scott says farewell to real estate business
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
After 40 years in the real estate business in Holyoke, Dorothy Scott is exchanging the work world for retirement.
The veteran real estate broker has experienced numerous changes in the industry since she started writing contracts in 1973.
The contracts themselves are a good example of change as the contracting process is much more complicated. Real estate transactions used to be handled with one- or two-page contracts and now can be 17 pages or more.
Computers have made a vast difference in completing contracts, storing files and communicating with potential customers for either buying or selling property.
Dorothy Scott organizes her office for retirement and closes the chapter of her life in the real estate business.
When Scott started her business, it was strictly typewriter work for contracts, communication and more.
Scott was a leading lady in the workforce in Holyoke. She owned and operated DeVee Floral from 1961-1973. She and her husband Blaine relocated the floral shop to 127 S. Interocean Ave. in 1965, where the Flower Garden is now housed.
But her real business love began in 1973 when she went into the real estate profession and started D. Scott Realty.
In 1976, the Scotts built a new office at 114 E. Denver St., where the Headquarters is currently located.
Twenty-seven years later, D. Scott Realty moved less than a half block to the east, to its current site at 130 E. Denver St.
Over the span of 40 years, various salespersons have worked with Scott in her real estate business.
She has been active in the Holyoke community, especially the Chamber of Commerce. She served on the Holyoke Centennial Commission in 1988 and worked diligently with the chamber to help plan the 100th-year celebration for Holyoke.
Scott was a Democratic candidate for Phillips County commissioner in 1986 and served the Holyoke Community Federal Credit Union on its board of directors for 10 years from 2000-10.
An avid golfer, Scott was involved in the Holyoke Women's Golf Association for many years and competed in numerous tournaments in the area.
Scott's two children, Billie Caldwell and Marc Scott, live in the Denver area, and she has five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Scott has enjoyed connecting people with the house that matched them, and she will miss that role. "The community has been wonderful to me," she added.
D. Scott Realty has officially closed. While she's no longer selling real estate, Dorothy still goes to the office regularly to organize for retirement.
