Born Alison Marion Lohman in Palm Springs, CA, on Sept. 9, 1979, Lohman showed an interest in acting and singing while very young, landing her first professional role in a production of "The Sound of Music" at the age of nine. Two years later, she was making her debut as a leading lady in "Annie," which earned her an Outstanding Actress Award from the Desert Theater League. By age 17, Lohman was acting in local theater on a regular basis and providing backup vocals for national touring acts like Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope.

New generation of governors seeking the limelight
WASHINGTON For governors with national ambitions, this is pad - and promote - your record time.
Republicans Bobby Jindal of Louisiana is trying to ditch his state's income tax while Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is working to shift people off his state's Medicaid rolls and onto private insurance. They are among the Republicans trying to claim an outside-the-Beltway mantle in a GOP lacking a single standard bearer.
Their Democratic counterparts, like Martin O'Malley of Maryland and Andrew Cuomo of New York, are putting themselves at the vanguard of Democratic wish lists - from gay marriage and gun control to manufacturing jobs and capital punishment - as they seek to be seen as a voice on issues paramount to a diverse coalition of minorities, women and young people that twice elected President Barack Obama.
These are the sort of politics that will be the subtext during the annual National Governors Association meeting in Washington, where governors are gathering amid another standoff between the White House and congressional Republicans over deep spending cuts. The timing gives governors, especially those jockeying to be seen as leaders of their respective parties, the chance to point to their stewardship of tight state budgets and policy agendas as Washington is mired in gridlock.
Several governors face re-election in 2014 - Republican Chris Christie goes before New Jersey voters later this year - and the races will become part of the so-called "invisible primary" for those looking to build a national following among party activists and financial donors for their upcoming campaigns, if not for a future presidential one someday. Those with aspirations beyond their states are mindful that a leadership vacuum exists in the GOP and that one is on the horizon in the Democratic Party, too, given that Obama is in his second term.
"Any way you slice it, governors writ large, and Republican governors in particular, are spearheading robust policy agendas that are making real change to the bottom line of their states," said Phil Musser, a GOP strategist and former executive director of the Republican Governors Association.
Republicans hold a majority of governor's mansions and view the states as models of conservative governing. Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has made transportation funding reform a key piece of his legislative agenda as he seeks to grapple with growing road-and-bridge costs. Ohio's economy has rebounded during Gov. John Kasich's term, and he has promoted plans to overhaul the state's tax code and school funding system.
Jindal, in his second term at age 41, has built up a record of ethics reforms, cuts to business taxes and his state's response to the devastating BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. He has proposed eliminating the state income tax - a move cheered on by conservatives - by raising sales taxes and possibly boosting tobacco taxes and broadening the list of services taxed by the state. An Indian-American, the governor also has been pitching ways for the GOP to reach out to minorities and working-class voters. And he regularly urges his former colleagues in Congress - he was a House member - to move beyond a debate over who can better manage the federal government.
Christie is seeking re-election in Democratic-tilting New Jersey. Blunt and straight-talking, he has seen his approval ratings soar since Superstorm Sandy and has been working to broaden his appeal with an anti-Washington message while vowing to avoid the "old ways of wasteful spending and rising taxes."
Democrats hope this year's campaign in New Jersey will expose what they contend is a weak record on the economy - the state's unemployment rate was 9.6 percent in December, well above the national average - and ratchet up support for state Sen. Barbara Buono, Christie's likely opponent.

I renamed one of the 12 mail id's say from email@example.com to firstname.lastname@example.com and from that time when i send mail to the DL i get bounce back mail that "Recipient address rejected" for firstname.lastname@example.com. At the same time i also get mail to email@example.com.
I tried to remove all the mail id's from this dl and added all again. I also removed the dl totally and then created again but still i face the same issue.
Can someone help me out to sort out this issue?

I'm looking for someone to work with as a collaborator to design the map of a conworld project I've spent the better part of 6 years developing. I'm finally able to spend more time on this project and would love to find someone to work with to finalize the geographic face of the planet itself. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions.
Time Constraints
- None
I've seen several map styles I like, here are some of the links:
http://www.cartographersguild.com/feature/SheguMap.jpg (very official)
http://www.cartographersguild.com/fe...siearthMap.jpg (great layout)
http://www.cartographersguild.com/feature/ValciaMap.jpg (wonderful colours)
I don't have clear style goals, I'm open to finding someone who's style I like and then collaborating with them from there.
Description of Map
The planet is tentatively called Elvana, with primary continent of focus known as the Motherhome. The planet has 2 sentient species. During what could be considered their version of the 18th century, one of these species set sail from their continent and discovered the second. As a result the map needs two continental areas. Below is an overview of the planet's unique climatology. The Motherhome continent must expand from the desert northern pole into the artic equator with two oceanic bodies to its east and west. I am open to any collaborative discussion with the chosen artist over how the rest of the map is designed. The second smaller continent previously mentioned would be in the region known for now as the twilight zone and would be tropical. This is the region where the day and night side converge.
Elvana is a world of extreme climatology. Tidelocked by its solar rotation, a solar year for Elvana lasts almost a century by our own time keeping, during this centurial rotation oceans boil in the summers of the dayside and winters freeze even the oceans of the nightside.
The northern hemisphere being closer to the dayside suffers a far higher heat flux than the southern hemisphere, with the coldest areas of the planet being those the furthest from the dayside which is in the region of the equator.
The continent of upon which the Motherhome exists has a vast mountain range just north of the equator region, blocking off an artic wasteland to the south with vast alternating grassland/deserts in the southern pole of the planet that undergo radical environment changes during the rotation. The rest of the continent between these two extreme regions is temperate.
When winter comes the equator region of the nightside suffers near cryogenic temperatures and the arctic wastelands are the darkest sections of the planet, where no reflected electromagnetic radiation ever penetrates. This artic wasteland expands over the winter rotation period before gradually melting as the planet swings back towards its star.
Over the decades (by our time keeping) the sea levels decline meter by meter, dropping hundreds of meters during a single solar rotation and then returning to former depths in the summer months. The Motherhome survives this lack of rainfall thanks to vast natural underground resevoirs situated under the vast mountain ranges blocking off the southern artic zone. Thermal inertia keeps this water thawed during the coldest periods.
Although oceans are not completely frozen in winter, they come dangerously close. The freezing also stops further oxygen getting into the water for large stretches of ocean which obviously begins to run out. However thanks to the majority migration and hibernation of most aquatic lifeforms during this period on the nightside, the oxygen levels are never fully depleted from the water. With most of the planets water frozen on the nightside of the planet, the dayside becomes very dry during the summer. The freezing also drains much of the water from the dayside. However when the dayside oceans begin to boil on the surface the precipitation moves to the nightside where summers are filled with periodic monsoons.
Though the ocean surface of the dayside rapidly begins to boil during summer, the deep ocean takes much longer due to it taking a long time for the heat to penetrate great depths. These thermalclines are areas where temperatures switch over from warm to cold over fairly thin areas. They can move up and down depending on various factors or even disappear at times if the mixing becomes to prominent. The reasons for the split tend to be that the cold water is heavier then the warm water, so the warm water doesn't quickly spread downwards. As a result the heat takes a great deal of time to actually reach the ocean floor, by which time the summers have all but passed. Also due to the water levels dropping rapidly in such intense heat, the current to the dayside becomes incredibly strong. The oceans appear as great rivers rushing into the horizons. With the current flipping back to the nightside during the winters.

Item # SRM0149
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Cassettes in stock than that.View Similar Products
SRAM Cassette XG-1080 $0.00
SRAM's XG-1080 10-Speed Cassette is a lot like the XG-1099 XX Cassette. It's light and shares the same mesmerizing go-fast aesthetic. But it's way more affordable due to its construction. Where the XX cassette is machined from one block of steel, the XG-1080 is composed of individual, easy to make cogs that are riveted together to create a cog stack that is effectively just like XX. It even has an aluminum 36t cog and open, mud shedding design.
SRAM uses their X-Glide shifting technology to shape the teeth and cogs to provide the ultimate in quick, positive shifting. Compared to their Powerglide cassettes, this goes just a notch above. The difference is how quickly the teeth pick up the chain on the downshifts. We find X-Glide cassettes to be the new benchmark. All of the cogs, save for the largest alloy cog, are cut as short as possible to eliminate flex between the teeth and the point where they're riveted to their next largest neighbor. The lockring that holds it all together is aluminum and has a laser etched logo with the proper torque spec for installation.
The SRAM 10-Speed XG-1080 Cassette is available with an 11/36 ratio. It's designed to be used with 10-speed chains only.
The 11/36 includes: 11,12,14,16,18,21,24,28,32,36
- Unique cog design is free from a spider to keep cost low, without hindering performance or adding weight
- X-Glide technology assists chain movement over the cogs for fast, precise shifts
- Recommended chains: SRAM 10 Speed Chain (PC 1090 and PC 1090R)

Reviews & Community
Nice Quality
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Glad to see other posts positive about wear. Seems very solid so far and a huge improvement to the PG1050 I was replacing. Works perfect with 1070 chain and XO der. Design is better where cassette body meets the free hub.
Solid and light.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have over 500 miles on mine (11-36) and it still shifts like it's new. I'm pretty heavy and don't always shift at the best times but it's still going strong. The XX is really nice as well as the XTR but the XO costs less than the XX with a minor weight penalty while remaining lighter than the XTR. You can't go wrong with this.
Functional but pricy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Works well with my SRAM 2X10 X.0 drivetrain.
Starting to corrode (rust) around the steel pins holding the individual gears together which is disappointing considering the cost. FYI, I am immaculate with my gear and have never had this issue with any of the X.0 9 speed cassettes.

Saving The Union At Gettysburg
July 7, 2013
West Virginians may well have played a critical role in saving the Union during the Civil War battle at Gettysburg, P....
No, not according to me, according to the historians, Whitelaw Reid "Ohio in the War" and the "Official Roster of the Soldiers of Ohio in the War of Rebellion, 12 vols. Also according to Dr. Mark Snell, "West Virginia and the Civil War" who said "Although there were far more West Virginians who had served the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg, the sacrifices of these veterans were not officially commemorated by the state government." (pg. 194) So, as you see, the story of Gettysburg & West Virginia has not been told truthfully.

Here's to my Great-Great Grandfather who was there and must have been the only West Virginian there according to this genius.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This is hardly the story of West Virginians at Gettysburg. Of the 4 Union units from West Virginia, about half the men were from Ohio and Penn. There were probably 5 times the number of West Virginians in gray at Gettysburg than blue, notably in the brigades of A.G. Jenkins, John Imboden and the Stonewall Brigade. Likewise, the West Virginia monument at Vicksburg is to the 4th WV, which was mostly from Ohio. The bust on top of that monument is to Azra Goodspeed, of Athens, OH. Anyone interested in the details can watch a video on Youtube called West Virginians at Gettysburg.

DECATUR, GA-- By court order, he's not allowed to have any contact with Andrea Sneiderman. But Joseph Dell as allowed in court during her pretrial hearing Thursday -- a man whose relationship with the accused killer remains, for the record, cryptic. "It's nobody's business," said defense attorney Tom Clegg during the hearing.
Clegg wanted Judge Gregory Adams to lift the restriction, allowing Dell and Mrs. Sneiderman to resume their relationship. Adams disallowed contact between them after prosecutors put Dell on the witness list for Mrs. Sneiderman's upcoming murder trial. She is accused of conspiring with her coworker Hemy Neuman to kill her husband Rusty Sneiderman in November 2010. Neuman is serving a life sentence for the shooting death outside a Dunwoody day care.
In November 2012, prosecutors speculated that Mrs. Sneiderman manipulated Neuman into killing her husband so that she could be with Dell. Clegg told the court that there is no evidence Dell and Mrs. Sneiderman had a relationship prior to the murder.
"She is entitled to companionship during her ordeal," Clegg told the court. In a previous hearing, Dell was described as a close friend who helped Mrs. Sneiderman care for her two young children. Prosecutors alleged that the two had cohabited, but Clegg disputed that in court Thursday.
District Attorney Robert James admitted in court that prosecutors had not approached Dell for an interview about the case, despite putting him on the witness list. Clegg demanded that they "put up or shut up." James retorted that he didn't have to "put up" anything until the murder trial.
Judge Adams indicated he would rule on the motion at an unspecified date. He set the next pretrial hearing for March 15, and set the date for Mrs. Sneiderman's murder trial for July 29.

I have not played PVP too much on this and have done the public Free Roam a few times. But i get frustrated that it seems that i cannot shoot fast enough(even with aim set to casual) against other human players. Even if we both have the same weapon i seem to get killed first more often than not. What am i not doing correctly? Maybe they are pushing up on the stick a little to get better head shots...i dont know.
And also, why does everybody have to shoot everybody they see in public free roam. Cant you just go in there and ride around or do your thing(hideouts, join a posse., etc)? I think there should be some sort of honor to it that if the other person does not raise their gun to you or fire at you then you should look elsewhere for a fight. Picking someone off unexpectedly is a punk move. I know you take your life into your own hands when you go public...but it is a waste of time to shoot other people as there is very little XP in it. I have not been in a public free roam yet where someone did not try to shoot me as soon as they saw me....only once did a guy ask me "what are your intentions". I thought that was perfect...very honorable. I was not there to fight at the time and he moved on. I tried to go in and help another guy with a hideout once and as soon as he saw me...he started going after me instead of the gang. If you want to fight players in the game...go into PVP or some other type of bag or shootout game or Hardcore Fee Roam. I find it funny and amazingly true that even these kind of video games says alot about the type of people we are as a society as a whole. Self centered and out for our own good only...or is that the way that just we we gamers are?

Same reason as Free Mode in GTA IV: those players are too shit to kill anyone in PvP games.

XBL Gamertag: your mother...
PSN Name: artistadam
Xfire Identity: i said your mother!!
it's the open-world rules applied here... it happened in GTA freeroam 95% of the time... it just turned into a huge deathmatch that earned no money or stats... it was pointless...
but, this game does a better job of eliminating that because, all of the game modes are initiated in freeroam... try sending posse requests when you join a match... send them to a gang of at least 3 and follow them around for a bit... usually they tackle hideouts but, sometimes they just go after other players... either way, try joining a posse early on and see what happens there...
you probably don't have a weapon strong enough to take out some of the other players... that could be your issue in that department... you've only been played around online for a little bit but, it takes hours to unlock decent weapons... another tip is you HAVE to be the one that shoots first and hits his target in these altercations to have any success... you have to anticipate their movements by paying close attention to the horizon and the dots on the map... there's a bit of skill to this and i would think that after a few more hours online, you'd start to see it...
your in the infant stages of online so, give it some more time...
Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

...you have to anticipate their movements by paying close attention to the horizon and the dots on the map... there's a bit of skill to this and i would think that after a few more hours online, you'd start to see it...
This. If you see blips closing in on you then be prepared for a sniper's bullet to hit you any time soon. Joining posses dissuades others from attacking you, but if there is an 8 man posse and your posse only has 3 members you may still find youself being gangraped at times.
I'd say as soon as you start a game, either kill a lawman in Blackwater who's carrying a high powered pistol and grab it. Or complete the Twin Rocks hideout and get the Mauser in the back room... It doesn't matter if you die as you'll keep the weapons for the entire session. It may be worth grabbing a few more high powered weapons such as the Carcano rifle from Nosalida and the bolt-action rifle from Tumbleweed hideouts. Once you level up you get these weapons by default, making it much easier to take down foes... but even then you still have to watch your back.

I love how people join the forums just to rant and then in all likelihood disappear forever.
Anyway, on topic; I always keep an eye on my radar AND check the map regularly to see where everyone is. I also try to use cover at all times.

Thanks for all the good advice. I found better weapons as fast as possible does help. And gee, I'll try not to to rant an dissapear either. I just didn't know there was a minimum requirement for posts and replies. I hope someone keeps tabs on me.

MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA) -- A man recently released after being arrested for assault was arrested again after returning to the victim's home, say Prince William County police.
Thirty-one-year-old Daniel Walter Harrison of Herndon, Va. is charged with domestic assault and battery, assault and battery on a law enforcement officer and violation of a protective order following an incident on January 5.
According to police, Harrison was arrested at 2:32 a.m. that day for domestic assault after an argument escalated. A protective order was issued against him and he was released on an unsecured bond, say police.
After he was released, he went back to the victim's house and started banging on the windows and doors. Police responded to the house at approximately 5:30 a.m. and took him into custody. While in custody, Harrison is accused of kicking two officers.
Harrison was eventually detained, arrested and charged. This time, he is being held without bond, say police.

It will be interesting on how this all plays out for the show. They have folks after them that are against the 2nd amendment and also those that are pro gay and demanding that folks should not be able to say anything against it.
It's also interesting, that the main focus and reason for his suspension from the show revolves mainly around his view in what he believes about the homosexeual issue. They don't bat an eye when he talks about heterosexual sin, adultery and fornication and his openness and being transparent in some struggles of his own in the past. He was more or less stating in his unfiltered Phil way, the church and Jesus Christ is a hospital for sinners not a country club for saints.
The Duck Commander statement says much.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart" and "Love your neighbor as yourself."
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?
Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love you neighbor as yourself. All the Law and Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Matthew 22:36-40
This is the email I sent A&E this morning!
To Whom Ever Concerned,
Im disappointed in A&Es decision to suspend Phil. Not only is it his God Given Right to express his beliefs, but its his Constitutional Right. He paraphrased scripture, 1 Corinthians 6, out of the Bible. This is Gods word people! You need to listen, read it for yourself. Hell was not created for you & I. It was created for Satan & his followers (1/3 of the Fallen Angels). We are not welcome there. Anyone that goes to Hell is an intruder! My God the one and only God, sent his only Son Jesus to Earth to die for our sins. He was crucified on the Cross, bled every drop of blood for you & I. When the soldier pierced his side to verify death. Nothing but pure water ran out, he shed every drop of his blood for us! Our God is a loving & forgiving God. He does not want anyone to die and go to Hell. He wants us to accept Jesus Christ, repent our sins. He longs for a relationship with us. The same Savior, Jesus Christ, the King of Heaven that died for you & I 2000 years ago, is the same Jesus that will cast you into the pits of Hell if you reject him. I challenge you to open up the Holy Bible & read Gods word. Ask him to help you understand it. Only Jesus Christ can get you to Heaven. You cant get there any other way. There is no one good enough that they dont need to be saved. Nor is there anyone to bad that cant be saved. If you have a black dog (evil) & white dog (good) fighting in your soul. Which one will win?....................... The one you feed, because it will grow bigger & stronger. Jesus Christ purchased my soul with his blood. He will purchase yours also. His offer still stands, I encourage you to accept him today! Do not procrastinate, time is short. We do not know the hour, only God knows. We will all stand in front of God one day and give an account of our life. You will face judgment, but there is an out. You can settle out of court by accepting Jesus! When my time comes, if Im asked why should we let you in? I will tell them because Ive been Washed in the Blood of the Lamb. Sasakwa, Oklahoma is my home on earth, but my true home is beyond the sky where the streets are gold and the river of life flows from the Throne of God. It is where the Tree of Life produces fruit for every need. My home is in Heaven, where Jesus is the King, in a perfect paradise that awaits all Gods Children that have accepted Christ and have been washed in the blood of the lamb. Ill pray for this network & the people making decisions. I will now close with some versus that have come to me.
God Bless,
Bryan Eberle

Such a shame how expressing your beliefs is persecuted. Homosexuals can say any number of terrible things about the show (rednecks, hillbilly, white trash) but the second a bible verse is quoted not in favor of gays, they jump all over our asses. The LBGT community needs to be respected (depending where your from...) but they have to be able to take criticizing just like every other group.
American culture is becoming such Pansy's. kids can't win in sports, you can't say the pledge in class and now you can't so much as disagree with a persons lifestyle. Turning commie if you ask me.
I believe he should be able to express himself. As many of you know Phil r on the show used to be the exact person he was putting down. Before he found his faith he was by accounts, an abuser of drugs an alcohol, womanizer, bad father. Now he has found his faith. He's walked in those shoes, he should be able to express his experiences an views.
Rants over
Many people don't want to be told that there is right, and wrong, and that it is determined by God. They want truth to be relative. If it feels good, do it. Its being taught in school. People think we were not created but a product of time and chance. It's about survival of the fittest. There is no life after death. Life has no purpose or meaning. We came from mud. We will die and go back to mud. And then they wonder why kids go on shooting rampages or commit suicide. No peace and no hope, what else is there to live for other than yourself? Personal pleasure? So what happens when you no longer are having fun, just kill yourself and/or others? I believe that God created sex to be between a man and(only) his wife. But Jesus also said Christians should love both their neighbors and their enemies. Not hate or avoid. Jesus himself hung out with sinners. Be a light in the darkness, he said. In the world, but not of the world.
Heaven is going to be full of sinners. (And that's a good thing because I'm one of them.) Because Jesus is all about forgiveness. If being suspended from the show somehow leads to one person finding Jesus, it's worth it and from what I can tell on TV Phil would agree.
I'm amazed at how this thing has been taken so personally by so many people. Everyone is so quick to quote the bible or constitutional rights, but A&E is a business, and as long as they're paying old Phil's salary, they're going to have something to say about anything that hurts their bottom line. You wouldn't keep an employee who was careless or rude to customers, so why should A&E?
Live to hunt, hunt to live.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
The thing that worries me is what Phil said was not on the show, not on their time, it was on his property, he wasn't filming for a&e at the time. Scary to think other employers could essentially fire you for expressing your views off company time.
It comes down to a liberal agenda being pushed down our throats and they want us to toe the line and just agree with them while being told they are all about "tolerance". I guess people are tired of it and this time they decided to push back. I'm not talking about just A&E, I'm talking about politicians and especially the media.
DDress00 nailed it. christians have been criticised since the begining of christianity but as soon as one speaks freely they are lashed out at. is it not im offended when people say you cant say merry christmas, but nobody cares. but if somebody is offended in me saying merry christmas then hell is to pay. along with anyother liberal thoughts. if ur gay, be gay but dont get pissed when i say i dont aprove. if u hate jesus then hate jesus but dont be offended when those whom do do what our ancsisters came to america for. that is why america became a country, why we came here, to celibrate and practice how we belive. if u get offended..... grow the hell up and get on with ur damn life. i dont considre myself a christian, and if christians are offended by me saying that then i guess your really not a christian. to many hypocrits amongst the people. be a good person, do god unto others, help anyone in need out and either ur a christian or just a good person with a good heart karma will reward u in one form or another. the point is..... love ur damn nieghboor cuz thats the right thing to do, not cuz its expected of u!

I can not win.
My daughter gave me a fridge magnet last Christmas that reads "Gardening forever, housework whenever". It makes me smile. And I try to live by its wisdom. But the other demands on my time don't seem to appreciate my priorities.
I spend a lovely, productive day in the garden, then come back inside to realize all the stuff I forgot to do in other aspects of my life. Unopened urgent emails, un-refilled fish tank sucking air through the filter… what's that? You children want to eat?
So I shift gears, try to repair my negligence a little. Get the laundry put away, make the phone calls I've been putting off, help with the Social Studies diorama. But before I know it, four days have passed. The garden is jealous of my attention, and pouts, and the dandelions seed with abandon. Never mind the annoyed greenery in the porch, still waiting for me to get them in the ground. They might as well have their leafy stems crossed and their flowery brows knitted into a scowl.
I've had a little chat with my house, and my garden, my business files, and the piece of my soul called "mom". We've negotiated. We've guilted. And this is the plan we came up with: One half hour, every day, minimum, in the garden. Enough to keep things together, without everything else falling apart.
Think it will work?
How do you keep a balance?

Sep 23, 2011 | By Stephanie Niedringhaus
How appalling that the cry of "class warfare!" is currently drowning out reasonable people who say that all groups in our nation should pay our fair share in taxes -- and that includes millionaires and billionaires!
Paul Krugman's column today provides a lot of helpful information. As he states, "Republicans claim to be deeply worried by budget deficits. Indeed, Mr. Ryan has called the deficit an "existential threat" to America. Yet they are insisting that the wealthy — who presumably have as much of a stake as everyone else in the nation's future — should not be called upon to play any role in warding off that existential threat."
So where do we go from here? When will we all recognize that there should be shared sacrifice and shared benefits across the board? Take a look at more of what Paul Krugman has to say about the need to consider the social contract.
This is all a matter of fairness, pure and simple.

Hello all,
I have a client with the following setup currently running Zimbra 7.x
Master LDAP + Proxy + MTA
LDAP Replica + MTA + Proxy
Mailstore + Logger Active Node
Mailstore Standby
The above setup is running on 4 individual servers.
I need to replicate the same structure and migrate it to Zimbra 8.x with the least amount of down time and with maximum automation to avoid least human intervention.
Can any one on board, suggest me a plan-of-action to achieve my target ?
Thank you all for your time.

I recently upgraded from a 722, 611, 611. I have 3 tv's. Now I have 2 Hoppers and 1 Joey.
Let me start off by saying that it would be nice if both hoppers could be linked together using the whole-home-dvr thing. Because the way it is. If Im on the tv with the Joey I can link up to either one of the hoppers but not both. I can also switch. But the whole problem with this setup is that everyone in my house wants access to the "PrimeTime" thing. So that means that BOTH hoppers have to give up 1 tuner each to BOTH record the "PT" thing. That means instead of 6 real tuners I only have 5 because from 6-10 at night the recordings are redundant.
To solve this problem they need to make it so that any tv, either a Joey or a Hopper can link. Or that not just linking a Joey to a Hopper but linking Hopper to Hopper. If they cannot fix this I may end up s* canning the whole thing.
Also the whole system seems very buggy. It took 2 separate installers almost 4 hours to install and get this all set up and running.
dude did u read this thread before deciding to get the hopper/joey system?
the hopper to hopper link up is coming soon via software update.
when u decided to go with the hopper/joey system u should of known that each hopper uses a tuner to record PT
don't blame dish for your choices
and the 2 hoppers DON'T have to give up 1 tuner/each to record PT .its YOUR choice .u can turn PT OFF

Iowa's Unemployment Rate Rises
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa's unemployment rate rose two-tenths of a point from July to hit 5.5 percent in August.
A Friday news release from Iowa Workforce Development says August's rate was a half percentage point under the 6 percent of August 2011.
The agency says the number of unemployed people rose to 90,000 in August, compared with 87,900 in July. A year ago the figure was 99,900.
Agency director Teresa Wahlert says an uncertain economic outlook is restraining job growth and that the Iowa economy "is reacting to the effects of drought conditions, a global economic
slowdown and the national uncertainty surrounding taxes and expenditure cuts."
The national rate fell to 8.1 percent in August from 8.3 percent in July.
MidAmerican Performs Soil Studies For Proposed Nuclear Power Plant
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - MidAmerican Energy Co. is holding meetings with landowners and residents in two locations in Iowa as part of a nuclear energy assessment study.
About 40 residents in Fremont County in western Iowa and a similar number in Muscatine County in eastern Iowa received invitations.
MidAmerican will discuss the purpose of soil samples the company is gathering for the study to assess the viability of nuclear generation in Iowa.
Spokeswoman Tina Potthoff says the company is taking five soil borings of nearly 100 feet deep in both locations. She says no decisions have been made to build a nuclear plant.
The Legislature in 2010 passed a bill allowing MidAmerican to recover up to $15 million in study costs from Iowa electric customers.
A report will be filed with lawmakers next year.
Restoration Company Examines Marshalltown Murals To See If Painted By Grant Wood
MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP) - A restoration company will determine if murals painted by fame Iowa artist Grant Wood are hidden beneath panels in a Marshalltown building.
The possibility that murals by the artist who painted the iconic American Gothic were concealed in the Tallcorn Towers Apartment building arose after a story last year in the Times-Republican
That story noted a 1949 article in the newspaper, which reported Wood had been commissioned to decorate the Tallcorn's ballroom and restaurant.
The Times-Republican reports (http://bit.ly/TdbfEN ) local historians aren't aware that Wood worked in the building, but speculation has centered on a hallway near a ballroom.
The building was recently sold, and Koester Construction Co. of Grimes will soon begin extensive renovations. Koester has hired Renaissance Restoration Inc. of Galena, Ill., to determine if the
murals exist.

Labels are very important for making your website universally usable. The different types of labels you need to pay attention to when designing and coding web applications are:
- Alternate text for images
- Tooltip text
- Form labels
- Aria labels
Lets get into the details....
Alternate Text for Images
Alternate text is for a screen reader user. If you leave it off, the screen reader reads the image name which is not very helpful to a blind user if your image is named something like "img001_110112.png."
Alternate text is defined in the alt attribute of the html img tag, as in
alt="file" if the image is a file icon. Thus, it is more commonly known as "alt text."
Alt text also shows up if the image is missing (or images are turned off by the user).
Internet Explorer kind of complicated things by also showing this text as a tool tip when you hover over the image. Nice feature, but really the title attribute is for tool tips. No other browser shows the alt text as a tool tip, so don't even think of alt text in this context. (In case you're wondering - I know you are - if an image has alt text and title text, Internet Explorer will do the right thing and show the title text as the tool tip.)
How then, should you think of alt text? Here is an easy-peasy rule of thumb:
If your image conveys information to the visual user, define alt text for it. If your image is just eye candy for the visual user, alt text should be null (
Eye Candy - the user doesn't need to hear Gail Chao's name twice, or that she has an associated photo that they can't see.
 Gail Chao
Added Information - the user will know that clicking on the link will launch a spreadsheet
 Latest Budget
Alt text always needs to be set, even if it's alt='" because, remember, otherwise the screen reader will read the image name. If alt text is set to null, the screen reader will skip right over that image and go on to the important stuff.
Tooltip Text
Tooltip text is set via the title attribute of an element. It shows up when a user hovers over the element after a slight delay. This is built into the browser.

(user will see the tooltip "delete" when they hover over the delete icon)
Tooltip text will not show up when the user focuses on an element. This is a problem for keyboard-only users. The bottom line is that tooltip text is not universally usable. It is only available to mouse users. So if you need to convey information to the keyboard-only user (like tooltips for icons) you should use a custom solution to create your own tooltips.
Not sure what the browser manufacturers were thinking and why they haven't fixed this by now....
Form Labels
A form label labels a form field. Every form field needs one.
Form labels are created using the
 tag and are assigned to form fields using the "for" attribute which maps to the id of the form field.
<form> Phone Number: <input id="phone" type="text" /> </form>
ARIA Labels
The new kid on the block is aria-label and its sister aria-labelledby and cousin aria-describedby.
aria-label - allows you to label any element in the HTML. A screen reader will give aria-label priority and read it even over the text inside that element.e.g.

 menu items go here...

aria-labelledby - allows you to use one HTML element to label another. It is preferrable to use aria-labelledby over aria-label whenever possible.
For instance, with ARIA you would put role="dialog" on the outermost HTML element that makes up the dialog. Then you could use the aria-labelledby attribute to point to the HTML h1 element as the label.

Share Something

 content goes here....

aria-describedby - uses one element to describe (rather than label) another. The same element can also describe multiple objects.
A good use of aria-describedby is for tooltips (not the HTML ones created using the title attribute, but home-grown ones we create) or other kinds of help text, like help text for a form.
<form> Phone Number: <input id="phone" type="text" aria-describedby="phoneHelp" />
Enter your phone number without any formatting. Just the digits, please!
 </form>
That's it. A quick description of labels. It's not that hard, but labels are great enhancements to the usability of web sites, so they are important to get right.
Happy labelling!

Duct tape, blocked shots and SDSU's Skylar Spencer
The kids hanging around Centinela Park in Inglewood loved when Vic Spencer brought his tall, lanky son to the basketball courts on weekends. What kid doesn't like free ice cream?
Vic also brought a ball and some duct tape. Had young Skylar stand there patiently while he strapped his right arm to his side with rolls of tape – riiiiiiiiiiip – wrapped around his stomach. He'd yank at his arm a few times to make sure it was tight, make sure his son couldn't move it, then explain to him for the millionth time the value of being ambidextrous in sports, the gold in developing a left hand.
"I would pay kids to play him one-on-one," Vic says. "'Here's a buck to get some ice cream. Just don't go soft on him.' They would bump him pretty good, but eventually he started beating them. It would make other parents mad. They'd say: 'You going to let that boy beat you with one hand?'"
The losers would trot off and buy ice cream. Skylar would play the next recruit.
He was 8.
He's 18 now, and the grand experiment of a father who never played basketball now wears a San Diego State uniform. Spencer is a 6-foot-9 forward who, perhaps as soon as Saturday against Nevada (3 p.m., NBC Sports Network), will break both the school and Mountain West freshman records for blocks. The former is 45 by Leonard Allen, the latter 44 by Utah's Andrew Bogut and Colorado State's Michael Morris; Spencer has 43 with at least six games remaining.
Here's the scary part: Bogut, in his eighth NBA season, did it while averaging 30.4 minutes as a freshman. Spencer plays half that for SDSU.
"Sky can become a real game-changer, the way he blocks shots," Aztecs senior Chase Tapley says. "He's going to be one of the greats to leave this program if he keeps working hard and stays focused and stays humble. No pun intended: The sky is the limit for Sky."
Actually, pun intended. Vic Spencer, a retired fireman, says his mother often told him he was named Victor because "losing wasn't an option," because he would make something of his life. He followed the pattern with his only son, fully cognizant that Skylar would be shortened to Sky and that the sky is the limit and all that.
He also knew his son would be tall – Skylar's mother, Celia, is 6-2 – and he vowed not to let him grow up with the stigma he did, as a tall kid constantly fielding questions about why he didn't play basketball.
So he rolled tennis balls to Skylar in his crib, making sure to give equal attention to his right and left hands. He signed him up for karate to build hand-eye coordination and speed. He "wrassled" with his son every day on the living room floor to make him tougher, until Skylar, then 13, "nearly broke my neck."
He read Earl Woods' book about creating one of history's greatest golfers. He studied Richard Williams and his tennis-playing daughters from nearby Compton.
"The Williams sisters were raised and trained by their dad," Vic says. "He knew if he did X, Y and Z, in 10 years they'd be doing A, B and C. He prepped them up, and now look at them. He had a vision. He didn't do it the regular way. He didn't do it the country club way."
The next thing that happened is SDSU hired Tony Bland as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator in the summer of 2011. Bland figured he better start seeing some players, and a friend coached an AAU team with some highly-rated guards.

Profile: Lorna Babby (Oglala Sioux Tribe)
Lorna Babby
I am a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, and became a Peace Corps Volunteer after practicing Indian law for 10 years. I needed a break—an opportunity to put things in my life into perspective. I am now working for a National Park in Romania and living in a remote community that is looking to ecotourism as a way out of its economic depression.
There are many wonderful things here that remind me of my community back home: a connection to the land that many non-Indian Americans have lost; a healthy pride in cultural traditions; closeness to family and a deep appreciation for the eldest members of the community; and a view of spirituality as an integral part of life.
The problems that plague Indian communities are present here as well, including a lack of economic development and social problems arising out of poverty. As a result of these similarities, I can relate to Romanians on a level that many non-minority Volunteers cannot. And this is always the first step toward affecting a change.
Be prepared for people back home to ask you why you are volunteering overseas when so much work remains to be done on reservations. The answer, at least for me, is that the experience, knowledge, confidence, and perspective I am gaining as a Peace Corps Volunteer will make me a stronger Indian advocate when I return home. Take advantage of the Peace Corps opportunity.

My Fiance got me this for Valentines Day. I was soo excited that I finally have a dive buddy to go with anytime I wanted. I should of played with it in the bathtub first! I was disappionted that the frickin thing completely floated on the surface. Its a diver! It should sink to about 10 or 15 feet. Then I could play with it when I dove. Now it just sets on my dive towel in the corner ontop of my dive shelf with Nemo. I would recommend this to a kid in the shallow end of a pool otherwise its an expensive shelf decor....hope this helps!

Meet Suzan Delbene (D CAND, WA-08).
I haven't really been paying attention to this particular race – it's admittedly one of the few where the Republican incumbent (David Reichert) isn't quite safe, but then again, it's a bad year to be a Democratic challenger* – but I got tipped off to what appears to be a bit of a vetting problem with Dave's challenger (one Suzan-with-a-Z Delbene). And, yes, if I'm | Read More »

Street Fighter 1966 Ford Mustang - Battery Relocation KitWritten by on September 23, 2008 Our Newest Project Car, The 1966 Street Fighter Mustang, Gets A Battery Relocation Kit.
I've had lots of experience with early Chevys, but it's about time I expand my horizons. I'm a fan of the SCCA Trans-Am series of the late 1960s and early '70s, and visualized my Camaro to follow that theme. Over the past seven years, my '68 Camaro took a path more on the tame side. This Mustang is my opportunity to build up a brutal, no-nonsense street-legal race car with a license plate and functioning headlights.
We bought this 1966 Mustang as a barely running straight-six automatic. Knowing in advance that most of the drivetrain and suspension components would be replaced, it didn't matter much what the car started life as. Of course, the first day we went to drive it after the sale, it didn't start. The battery was dead, and once we put the new one in, it cranked forever without even a backfire to assure that there was fuel or spark. I believe it's the car's way of telling us it's ready for an upgrade.
There will be no stereo, no A/C, no carpet, no over-the-top fancy polished pieces to distract you from its pavement-pounding roots. The objective is to build a lightweight, all-business street car with style. The playbook contains a full coilover suspension, rollcage, big disc brakes, a pump-gas high-rpm small-block, and two race seats.
The last 35 years of technology will have its place in the car; modernized instrumentation and suspension will fill the voids that parts from the 1960s couldn't. We'll be borrowing tricks picked up over the years to make this car perform effortlessly. My own touches will be evident as well: orange paint, satin finishes, and a downplayed look on performance parts.
The first order of business-lightening things up-was inspired by our October 2008 story called "Lighten Your Load." In a nutshell, I decided to take my own advice. Weight in the front of the vehicle is detrimental to the car's handling at the road course and the dragstrip. Around the corners, weight on the nose makes the car more prone to understeer, a less-than-favorable way to get around the track. At the dragstrip, for optimal rear-wheel traction, the weight needs to transfer rearward, where every pound helps.
An easy, cost-effective way to help move the weight to the rear is to relocate the battery to the trunk. Moving a 40-pound weight from the most forward location possible to the most rearward seems like a no-brainer. There are other advantages that come along with the newfound space up front. The overall cleaner look of the engine bay and the race-car look of the battery box can be incentives. For my situation, it was a mandatory move. Early Mustangs suffer from an overcompact engine bay that limits the radiator size you can use. The factory unit looks like it would be more at home in front of an import than a fire-breathing V-8. In Southern California, the cooling system is very important, and to make room in an early Mustang, the battery needs a new home.
We picked up a battery relocation kit from Taylor Cable, put together specifically for our Optima battery of choice. We like to use the Optimas because they won't leak, and can be mounted in any orientation. The battery relocation kit comes with the box in three pieces (bottom, body, and lid), positive battery cable and terminals, ground cable, cable retainers, vent tube, hold-down assembly, and all the hardware to make it work. We only needed to make one trip to the parts store for a longer ground cable to fit our specific routing plan.

This is an all-too-familiar sight. It seems like all old cars suffer from a corroded battery tray due to years of leaky batteries sitting in them. This piece went straight into the trash can upon removal.The first task is to figure out where to mount the battery box. It should be a flat, level place that's not so tucked in that the battery can't be removed easily. At this time, you should study the underside of the car to determine if the holes for the battery box retainers will be accessible. Watch out for the gas tank, leaf springs, and other undercarriage items that can get in the way. Sometimes there will be brackets in the way that will need to be removed for proper installation.Set the bottom plate down as a template, and mark where you will need to drill the holes. Whiteout works well to mark the floor, since it stands out over any color.Use a punch to mark the middle of the whiteout and help guide the drill bit straight. These floors are often pretty hammered, and can cause the drill bit to wander.With a heavy punch, you can start drilling your holes with a step-bit. I prefer this so there is no need to change drill bits to get to the next size.The all-thread supplied in the Taylor kit was longer than needed, so to figure the correct length, drop it through the top of the box and mark how much to take off below the floor. We wanted a little extra to protrude past the lid to be safe.The floor and the bottom portion of the box are sandwiched between two sets of nuts. It is really easy to warp the bottom of the box when tightening if the floor isn't totally flat. To help this, we added shims. Also, as a safeguard, we jam-nutted the bottom of the studs to guarantee they won't come loose.Next, place the battery between the newly installed all-thread and slip the battery hold-down over. Now is the best time to tighten everything. The all-thread may not want to stand up straight, and there isn't a way to correct this once the box body is on, so slip the lid over the studs while you tighten the hardware. This will make the box easier to cover with the lid later on.Now that the battery is in its new location, you will need to find a ground. The frame is the best place. There are a couple options for attaching the ground cable. We found an unused hole, and welded a nut to the face of it so we could use a bolt to attach the ground. I've seen a lot of people simply thread the bolt into the sheetmetal, but this is way prone to stripping.
The Taylor kit comes with grommets that fit the cables perfectly; you will just need to drill holes through the floor to insert them. We recommend using a step-drill for this, too. You'll have to make sure there is ample room for the cable to be routed on the bottom side of the hole. Repeat the same operation for the positive cable.The Taylor kit also comes with plastic cable retainers to fasten the cable along the length of the car. Make sure to route the wire away from any moving or hot parts because if the insulation is rubbed off, the cable will arc and can cause a fire. We ran the cable along the outside of the framerail, and then brought it back in before the leading end of the leaf spring. A good place to route the cable is along the inside of the subframe connector, if you have one.Once the cable finds its way to the engine bay, route the cable as far from the engine as possible. Since this is a Ford, it goes to the starter solenoid, usually mounted on the passenger-side fender, but for other makes this cable would go to the starter, where we would suggest you put a high-temp sleeve over it as a safety measure.

Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Bradley Beal poured in 26 points to go
with seven rebounds and eight assists as the Washington Wizards held off the
Cleveland Cavaliers, 98-91, on Wednesday.
Nene added 24 points, eight boards and six assists and John Wall scored 15
points and handed out nine helpers for the Wizards, who have won two straight
on the heels of a four-game slide.
Kyrie Irving poured in 28 points on 9-of-14 shooting while Jarrett Jack and
Anderson Varejao added 14 points apiece off the bench for the Cavaliers,
losers in four of their last five games.
"We didn't compete. We had one guy that competed the entire time he was on the
floor. That's Matthew Dellavedova," Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown said.
"I've got to find guys that are going to give it to me. It's as simple as
that. We didn't play hard."
Dellavedova finished with nine points on 3-of-6 shooting from 3-point range.
Washington took a 27-point lead following a Wall jumper at the 5:11 mark of
the third quarter, but saw that spread dwindle to just four points with just
over a minute left in the game.
The Cavs had the lead down to 21 points by the end of the third before a pair
of Irving free throws made it single digits with 3 1/2 to play.
In the last meeting between these clubs on Saturday, Irving scored 18 points
over the final 17 minutes, and the Cavs' young star put the team on his back
down the stretch once again.
Irving was 6-for-7 from the floor and netted 18 points in the fourth, and
dished out an incredible no look pass to Varejao at the basket that made it a
90-86 game with 1:40 left.
This time, however, Irving's resilient effort wasn't enough as the Wizards
outscored the Cavs 8-3 the rest of the way.
"The easiest thing to do is relax when you're up by 27 points. They made us
pay for that, but we nipped it in the bud and took care of business. This is
another step for us in the maturation process," said Wizards forward Martell
Webster, who finished with 15 points.
Washington raced out to 30-19 lead after the first period and took a 56-38
lead into the break.
Cleveland forward Anthony Bennett, who was selected with the first pick in
this year's draft, played just six minutes. It was his first appearance in
three games ... Washington outscored the Cavs 44-34 in the paint.

Minimum: 0
Maximum: 19
File: hl
De jure household members (usual residents) aged 0-17 (under 18)
Source of information
Head of household or other responsible household member
Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
For children age 0-17 years ask HL9-HL12
Literal question
Does (name's) natural father live in this household?
Record Line no. of father or 00 for 'No'
Interviewer instructions
For all children under age 18, we want to know whether either of their own (natural) parents is listed in the Household Listing, and their survival status. This information can be used to measure the prevalence of orphanhood and child fostering in the population. For everyone age 18 and older, HL9-12 will be left blank. --- Fill in these questions in exactly the same way as HL9 and HL10. This time, make sure to record the survival status and the line number of the natural (biological) fathers. If the father of the household member is not alive or his survival status is now known by the respondent, move to the next person on the list. --- When you have completed the listing of all household members and all questions in the Household Listing, probe to see if there are any other household members you have not included in the list: "ARE THERE ANY OTHER PERSONS LIVING HERE - EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY OR DO NOT HAVE PARENTS LIVING IN THIS HOUSEHOLD? INCLUDING CHILDREN AT WORK OR AT SCHOOL?" If yes, insert child's name and complete the form. After you have made sure that there are no other household members to be included in the list, complete the row at the bottom of the household list, 'Totals'. Calculate the number of eligible women in the household and record the number under 'Women 15-49', calculate the number of children aged 5-14 years in the household and record the number under 'Children 5-14' and, finally, calculate the number of children under five, and record the number under 'Under-5s'. The numbers recorded here for the women 15-49 and under-5s will indicate to you the number of individual women's and under-five questionnaires you should have in the household (see below). You will also record these numbers in HH12 and HH14 in the Household Information Panel. When you have completed the Household Listing Form for all household members, prepare the individual questionnaire forms for this household: . For each woman age 15-49 years, write her name and line number in the spaces provided (WM3 and WM4) at the top of her Questionnaire for Individual Women. . For each child under age five, write his/her name and line number and the name and line number of his/her mother or caretaker in the spaces provided (UF3-6) at the top of the Questionnaire for Children Under Five. You should now have a separate questionnaire for each eligible woman and child under five in the household, ready for use when you administer the questionnaires later on.

FedEx Freight network redesign is off to strong start
April 28, 2011
Despite being faced with very difficult weather conditions at the outset of launching its new unified, streamlined network at the end of January, FedEx Freight, the less-than-truckload (LTL) subsidiary of FedEx, recently told LM that the new network is off to a strong start.
At the core of the new network launch is the company's approach to offer shippers the choice of two levels of service from a single company. Both services, FedEx Freight Priority and FedEx Freight Economy, are designed to meet the needs of today's LTL shippers.
Prior to the launch of the revamped LTL network, FedEx Freight President and CEO Bill Logue described it as a growth strategy to grow its business profitably for the long-term and a "game changer" designed to simplify what FedEx determined was a too complicated LTL shipping process. The idea, he said, was to give LTL shippers two options, based on speed of delivery and price.
The new FedEx Freight network is comprised of FedEx Freight Priority, a fast-transit choice for reliable, time-sensitive LTL freight delivery, and FedEx Freight Economy, a less costly choice for reliable LTL freight delivery. For less time-sensitive freight, customers benefit by trading time for savings with FedEx Freight Economy. And since it was introduced, FedEx has increased its use of intermodal rail in both the Eastern and Western sectors of the country in order to cut down its line-haul costs, creating more efficiency.
FedEx has streamlined its national terminal footprint in conjunction with the roll out. In closing roughly 100 terminals, Logue said in January greater efficiencies will be created through what is now a 355-terminal footprint. Operationally, there will be two distinct line hauls—priority and economy—in what rival trucking officials admit must be a delicate, precise and coordinated terminal operation. It will have 45 "priority hubs" and two "economy" hubs.
But the operational key, he said, are 10 "dual use hubs" strategically placed around the country. These are close to rail hubs for intermodal line haul, but also can be used to move out priority freight as well.
In an interview with LM last week, Logue said he could not be more pleased with the progress FedEx Freight has made with this endeavor to date, despite the fact that the first two weeks of it brought terrible weather conditions for moving freight.
"While all carriers were dealing with the elements, we were dealing with the weather and rolling out a new network at the same time," said Logue. "We got through the first few weeks of February and since then the network has gotten better and stronger every day."
While a tremendous amount of planning and effort went into this effort, Logue said until it really happens is when the appropriate tweaks and adjustments can be made.
What's more, he noted that the new network is being deployed at a time when the economy—and the LTL industry—are firmly in a recovery mode, which is especially true considering the cumulative 25 percent decline in LTL industry revenue during the downturn, with the industry recovering 9 percent of those losses in 2010.
In an effort to get back to where it was prior to the downturn, FedEx Freight, like all LTL carriers, is firmly focused on yield management.
"We are very happy with our continued improvement on the yield front and are trying to make sure customers see the value in the FedEx portfolio on the LTL side," said Logue. "We are also seeing strong customer feedback and a good mix of dual users, which are the types of customers we want."
One of the biggest changes in what FedEx Freight is doing compared to more traditional LTL, said Logue, is offering shippers a choice of service offerings for each shipment and lane, which, he said, is vital in an industry with so many strong players.
When FedEx first announced its planned network changes for FedEx Freight last September, Robert W. Baird analyst Jon Langenfeld wrote in a research note that this restructuring was expected, and he also commented that this is positive news for other LTL carriers, because FedEx Freight is expected to cede share and focus on raising freight rates.
