Her 1999-2001 recurring role as the good witch who becomes more than just a friend to fellow enchantress Willow (Alyson Hannigan) saw the actress taking on controversial topics and earning the esteem of the notoriously hard-to-please "Buffy" fan base.

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Brandon Jennings buried the go-ahead 3-
pointer late in the fourth quarter and the Bucks overcame a rough start to
defeat the Celtics, 91-88, on Saturday.
Jennings finished with 13 points and six rebounds. Fresh off his first career
triple-double, Larry Sanders scored a team-high 18 points, pulled down 16
boards and blocked five shots in the win for the Bucks, who won consecutive
games against Boston for the first time since the 2006-07 season.
Monta Ellis shot just 6-of-20, but tallied 17 points, seven assists and two
steals in the victory. Ersan Ilyasova added 15 points and five rebounds off
the bench.
Without suspended point guard Rajon Rondo, Jason Terry filled his role with 15
points and 11 assists, but Terry and Paul Pierce both missed from downtown
with a chance to tie the game on Boston's final possession. Pierce scored a
game-high 19 points and also had six assists in the loss.

Trial by fury
Its an overcast afternoon in May 2006, the sky the same gray as the stone facade of Durham Countys jail. Joe Cheshire has picked the site carefully. He wants a dramatic backdrop for the 30 or more television cameras facing him, along with scores of newspaper photographers and reporters, but hes uneasy. He grips a lectern crammed with microphones and squints at the crowd.
Since the night in March when a black stripper claimed that three white Duke University lacrosse players raped her a few miles from here, media coverage has been frenzied. Cheshire represents one of the players and has become spokesman for the others. Hes about to flout the wisdom of the words on a framed cross-stitching that hangs in his Raleigh office. Clients are like fish, it says. Neither would get into trouble if they kept their mouths shut.
His client, David Evans, isnt likely to generate sympathy in a state where work boots outnumber wingtips. A prep-school product, he came to Duke from Washington, where his father is a corporate lawyer and his mother a lobbyist. Yesterday, he had graduated. Today, he had been indicted on charges of sexually assaulting and sodomizing the stripper, a single mother working her way through nearby N.C. Central University. Members of the lacrosse team had hired her and another woman to perform at a beer bash.
Cheshire nods. These allegations are lies, Evans begins. They will be proven wrong. He speaks four minutes. I have done nothing wrong, and I have told the truth from Day One. Cheshire had given the young man his talking points no crime occurred, weve cooperated with police but even he is impressed with his clients earnestness. There wasnt a mother in America willing to believe they were guilty after that.
The moment becomes pivotal in the court of public opinion. The defense team believes millions of minds must be changed for the defendants, each facing 30 years in prison, to stand a chance. By mid-May, we were representing the three most widely hated kids in this nation, says James Cooney III, the Charlotte lawyer representing Reade Seligmann.
Media reports based mostly on one source the district attorney had created caricatures easy to despise: The players were spoiled, misogynistic bullies running wild. Information leaked by lawyers, whether defense attorneys or prosecutors, is nothing new. But DA Mike Nifong had ramped up the rhetoric. He had called the students hooligans and demonstrated on national TV how they had allegedly held the victim in a chokehold. He was convincing.
I said, Wow! Those silly little bastards. What the hell did they do something like that for? recalls former journalist and press critic Hodding Carter III, who was an aide to Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter and now is professor of public policy at UNC Chapel Hill. But on the jailhouse steps, a transformation began. By the end of the day, Cheshire and the defense were just rubbing Nifongs nose in incontrovertible fact.
For 11 months in 2006 and 2007, much of North Carolina and the nation were gripped by a legal drama that some even said overshadowed the O.J. Simpson trial more than a decade earlier. We ran into the perfect storm of the early 21st century news story, Cheshire says. This was about race, class, gender and the criminal-justice system. It was about crisp sound bites and sensationalism. All fed by the insatiable demands of a 24-hour news cycle.
Nifong, who did not respond to requests to be interviewed for this story, may have failed to appreciate what he was up against. In balloting for last years Business North Carolina Legal Elite, Tar Heel lawyers selected Cheshire as the states best criminal-defense attorney. Wade Smith, who represented Collin Finnerty, won the previous year. Cooney, who took over as Seligmanns lead attorney after Kirk Osborn died of a heart attack, took the title this year. Cheshires partner Brad Bannon, who played a key role in uncovering evidence that crushed the states case, is a member of the 2007 Legal Elite in two categories: criminal law and lawyers under 40.
Like most top defense lawyers, the three senior members of the team were skilled at working the press and exploiting every mistake the prosecution made, inside and outside the courtroom. Cheshire would emerge as the players public face. Scion of four prior generations of Raleigh lawyers all named Joe Cheshire dating to Andrew Jacksons administration, he is better known for keeping the downtrodden off death row than for defending the privileged. The time Joe devotes to indigent clients is really impressive, says Richard Rosen, a UNC Chapel Hill law professor and a founder of the North Carolina Center on Actual Innocence. Cheshire estimates a third to a half. Hes passionate about it and really cares about protecting people.
Alan Gell was one. Sentenced to death in 1998 for the murder of a Bertie County man, Gell was a small-time crook. He supposedly shot Ray Jenkins during a robbery on April 3, 1995. The first jury believed he did it, but Cooney and Cheshire, who joined Gells appeals pro bono, didnt. More than a dozen witnesses had seen Jenkins alive after April 3, and Gell had an airtight alibi. He had been in Maryland in jail on a car-theft charge, and prosecutors knew or should have known that. They had withheld evidence to gain a conviction, the judge ruled during an appeal. Gell was acquitted during a 2004 retrial. Close to a dozen similar cases have been overturned in North Carolina in the last decade. Many bear Cheshires imprint.
His victories have not endeared him to prosecutors in general or Nifong in particular. In 2004, largely because of the Gell case, the General Assembly passed open-file discovery rules, requiring prosecutors to share evidence with defense lawyers. Opponents included many law-enforcement officials and the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys.
The lacrosse case, though, would take on strikingly personal tones. Defense lawyers who met with Nifong say he would mockingly refer to Joseph Blount Cheshire the Fifth, and during one meeting they were asking him to consider exculpatory evidence for the students say he blurted, You can tell that fucking Cheshire to go to hell. In a profession of faux civility, such an outburst was startling. The truth is, Smith says, Mr. Nifong held intense feelings toward Joe. He made it clear at every opportunity that he despised him.
In April 2005, Gov. Mike Easley had appointed the longtime assistant prosecutor to replace District Attorney Jim Hardin, whom the governor had named a special Superior Court judge. You had a guy regarded as pretty much the standard-issue professional career prosecutor of no great reputation as a genius but a competent professional, Carter says. When he came out firing all guns, that made a lot of people, including me, say, Well, if ol Mike is doing this, he must have a hell of a case.
Nifong, a Wilmington native who graduated from UNCs law school in 1978 and was now facing his first election, had confronted Cheshire as an assistant DA. He thinks I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, Cheshire says. My spoon wasnt silver. My family was mainly preachers doing indigent legal work. The truth is, hes a bully and I called him out.
Not that Cheshire had walked to school barefoot. His parents sent him to Groton, the prestigious Massachusetts prep school. Graduating in 1966, he then earned a bachelors in history from UNC Chapel Hill and in 1973 his law degree from Wake Forest University. After four years as an Army intelligence officer, he returned to Raleigh and joined a law firm. At 29, he was appointed a special prosecutor and oversaw the conviction of the Wake County sheriff and some of his deputies on corruption charges.
Cheshire started his own firm in 1978, and as his career unfolded, he cultivated relationships with media members. Vulnerable defendants are press favorites, and Cheshire, like Cooney and Smith, snatched them from death rows door. Defense lawyers often lose the best he can do for many clients, Cheshire says, is to cut their losses but he did it with flair that grated on prosecutors. In defending a client accused of shooting two men to death at a 2004 N.C. State University football game, he told jurors the young man had experienced a jailhouse conversion like that of John Newton, the slave-ship captain who wrote Amazing Grace. He got life, instead of the death penalty.
Still, the lacrosse trial would strain Cheshires media ties initially, much of the coverage portrayed the students as guilty and tarnish his reputation as protector of the poor. They began calling me racist. It was stunning to watch the liberal faculty at Duke, the NAACP and others exulting in the same abuse of power thats been used against poor people in our justice system for years.
The defense lawyers point to the coverage of The News & Observer as an example. They contend that the Raleigh paper initially relied heavily on Nifong and Durham police sources without questioning their motives. Nifong was facing stiff opposition in the Democratic primary. A headline over an interview with the alleged victim that ran 12 days after the party declared, Dancer Gives Details of Ordeal. While Cheshire, Cooney and Smith say they were trying to keep the case from exploding into a spectacle, John Drescher, the N&O executive editor who was its managing editor at the time, blames their initial silence. There was a one-sided discussion going on. Could we have done better at ferreting out the other side? Yes. But at least in the beginning, this case was tried in the court of public opinion, and only one side was talking.
As the summer of 2006 unwound, Nifong escalated the media trial. He gave more than five dozen interviews, including one with CBS 60 Minutes in which he said the students daddies can afford expensive lawyers. The statement held an element of truth. Cheshire estimates legal fees for the three at certainly more than $2-3 million.
Gene Roberts, a Pikeville native, is a former New York Times and Philadelphia Inquirer editor who won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize as co-author of The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle and the Awakening of a Nation, a book about covering the movement in the South. [The case] was about race, but certainly not totally. In fact, it became a chilling revelation of how politically motivated prosecutors can abuse power and how outcomes for the monied often differ from those of the poor. Cheshire concedes that. Money makes a difference in the justice system, he says. If these boys had been poor African-Americans, or even poor white boys from the mountains, the chances of anybody paying attention to them would have been almost zero. Theyd have been forced to take a plea.
Nifong repeatedly suggested that the high-priced defense team proved his point, that the whole matter was one of privilege preying on poverty, played out with clear villains and an innocent victim. The cases Ive been involved in almost always involve creating stereotypes, says Rosen, the law professor and adviser to the North Carolina Center on Actual Innocence. The difference is, in my cases, theyre usually young African-American males. As Nifong built his case in print and on the airways, his stereotypes were easy: Rich, racist white boys rape struggling black, single mother.
Nearly two months before the courthouse-steps gamble with Evans, the lead lawyers had tried to head off a media storm by getting Nifong to stop making inflammatory statements. It seemed to egg him on, Cooney says. One of Cheshires moves in particular failed, leaving him furious. In a private letter dated March 30, 2006, just over two weeks after Crystal Gail Mangum told police she had been attacked, Cheshire warned Nifong that he was violating legal ethics by pronouncing the players guilty. The day after he received the letter, Nifong demonstrated for MSNBC reporters how he said the students had choked Mangum during the rape.
Seething, Cheshire called a press conference in his Raleigh conference room. It was jammed with reporters. You people are writing and talking lies, he said, shaking his finger at them. Then he silently cringed. I remember thinking, the last time I saw somebody do that was when Bill Clinton pointed his finger at me and the American public and said, I did not have sex with that woman. I said to my wife that night, My god, I hope those boys are as innocent as I think they are.
Underlying his rage were larger, pent-up issues focused by the glare of nonstop cable-television news, news-magazine deadlines and newspapers trying to cling to dwindling circulation. The truth is, the press business is to try to get as full a picture of reality as we can, using about any kind of source we can, Carter says. On the other hand, virtually everything about how lawyers, cops, judges and prosecutors act is circumscribed by very clear laws and canons of ethics that are enforceable.
In and out of the courtroom, ethics rules governing the relationship between lawyers, judges and the press are tightly drawn. They forbid prosecutors from making prejudicial statements against defendants. Bar rules put similar restrictions on defense lawyers. But Nifong had exposed his flanks. Once he did that, its open season for defense lawyers to do whatever they have to do to re-level the playing field, Cheshire says.
Nifong refuses to discuss his motives I have made mistakes in the prosecution of these cases, he admitted to a judge in July during a hearing in which he was found guilty of criminal contempt of court but Rosen believes that he was, among other things, attempting to prejudice potential jurors. The reality is, if weve got a duck for a client, we all want ducks on the jury. In racially divided Durham County about 40% of the 247,000 residents are black Nifongs tactics also clearly played to black voters as he faced the election, which he won. The contempt that was shown for the victim, based on her race, was totally abhorrent, he had told one television interviewer.
While the district attorney waged his media campaign, the groundwork of Cooney, Cheshire, Smith and other defense lawyers was bearing fruit. Using the 2004 law they had lobbied for, requiring prosecutors to open their evidence files to defendants, they forced Nifong to release 1,844 pages of DNA reports from a lab that tested semen found in Mangums body. Cheshires young partner, Bannon, piled the reports on a conference table in the firms office. The DNA evidence failed to incriminate the players the attackers, Nifong told interviewers, could have used condoms but scrapings from one of Mangums false fingernails left at least a slim possibility that Evans had assaulted her.
Brad bought a DNA textbook on Amazon.com, read it from cover to cover and sat in that conference room for 41/2 days, Cheshire says. Brad, by sheer will power, uncovered what amounted to a criminal conspiracy to convict these guys. He found that tests by the lab Nifong had hired, Burlington-based DNA Security Inc., had ruled out all of the lacrosse players but found semen from several other men. That led Cheshires side to accuse Nifong and the companys former lab director of conspiring to hide evidence.
In December 2006, the defense lawyers began hammering on the findings to the press. The coverage forced Nifong to drop some charges. The publicity led the State Bar, which governs lawyers conduct, to accuse him of violating ethics rules in his own dealings with the press, committing dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation. The following month, N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper wrenched the case out of the DAs hands. When juries decide that, during a trial, the state has failed to prove its case, they return a verdict of not guilty. In April, Cooper declared the three defendants innocent.
The TV trucks with their tall pole antennas are gone, and on a quiet, shady street next to the stone wall that surrounds the Duke campus, city construction crews patch potholes. The white frame house on Buchanan Boulevard where the lacrosse team partied is quiet. But the dispute is likely to drag on in civil courts, as plaintiffs sue Durham police, Nifong and the DNA lab, seeking $30 million. This case, too, could become a media spectacle. Seligmann has hired Barry Scheck, who helped defend O.J. Simpson. Brendan Sullivan Jr. and Christopher Manning, who defended Oliver North in the 1987 Iran-Contra scandal, will represent Finnerty and Evans.
As a criminal lawyer, Cheshire wont be involved. But most legal authorities expect the debacle to produce legislative and legal efforts to head off repeats of what the lawsuit calls one of the most chilling episodes of premeditated police, prosecutorial and scientific miscount in modern American history. Cheshire agrees. The case left him with an uneasy feeling that cant be wrapped in snippets of videotape or buried beneath bold headlines. People got to see justice in real time up close, and it wasnt working. Maybe in the end, though, it did.
On a September morning, a week after a Durham judge found him guilty of contempt of court for lying about the DNA evidence, Nifong walked up the front steps of the Durham County jail, where nearly four months earlier, Cheshire had gambled on letting Evans face the press. The former prosecutor was there to serve his day-long sentence. Reporters pressed around him. This time, he had nothing to say.

(WUSA) -- Fairfax County Police say they looking into the possibility that two assaults on Wednesday afternoon may be related to the serial groper case.
According to police, they happened within twenty minutes of each other. One incident occurred at 3:10 p.m. The other happened at 3:35 p.m.
In the first incident, police say a 30-year-old woman was walking south on Dinwiddie Street near Dana Avenue. She reported that someone approached from behind her, grabbed and groped her, then fled. He was described as Hispanic, around 5'6" tall, with a neatly trimmed beard. He was wearing a sweatshirt.
Police say the second incident took place a few blocks away, on Backlick Road near the intersection of Cabin John Road. There, a 25-year-old woman was walking south on Backlick Road, underneath the 495 underpass when she felt someone grope her. She yelled and the man fled.
He was described as Hispanic, around 5'6" tall. He wore a black jacket and blue jeans.
Police say they could be the 16th and 17th groping incidents believed to be committed by the same man in the Springfield area.

By Alexander "Sandy" Prisant
Former Adviser to the DTI and British Overseas Development Agency
This morning I closed all my bank accounts at J P Morgan Chase. It was where my father opened my very first account when I was 16. I remember Mr. Marty, the branch manager in Great Neck, New York. Nice smile. Nice man.
How things have changed. I had opened additional accounts with the guarantee of no-fee checking for life a few years ago, but this month Chase has swooped in and arrogantly broken that guarantee for all customers. No apologies. No explanations. This hardly caused a ripple, because we all now expect banks to abuse us to an extraordinary degree.
In recent days we are seeing the consequences of over 80% of all the bailout money from the British and US governments go to buy bad debts from the banks, to wash their balance sheets.
This is like saying to a dead beat: "I am going to pay off all your bills and then allow you to have an unblemished, perfect credit rating, as if you've never done anything wrong."
Folk's, that crazy.
Crucially, it also put billions more bad debt on the sovereign rolls of the UK and America. In the eyes of the credit agencies, that specifically contributed to the worsening government balance sheet that cost the US its triple A Rating. Will the United Kingdom be next?
And it continues. In Year Three of the Depression (2010), Goldman Sachs paid bonuses of SIXTEEN BILLION TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS for results in the same year that caused 1.2 million American families to lose their homes . And now we learn that US taxpayers will be picking up tens of millions in legal fees for some of our public bankers at Fannie and Freddie Mae, whom are millionaires in their own right, but with the ethics of bag ladies (New York Times/Jan 24). In the same week, two other financial institutions are petitioning the courts to burn their sub prime loan records.
The questions abound:
* What has happened to the re-establishment of US and UK banking regulation that was so vital in ending the last Depression? The stripping of Glass-Steiglitz regulation is a primary cause of this Depression. What is Washington waiting for?
* The Bush Administration created TARP to keep the banks and the economy liquid. The banks, on their own, decided to take the money, but not pass it on.Single-handedly they have made America illiquid. Ditto the UK, Can neither the Fed nor the Comptroller of the Currency oblige banks to make sound loans–as has been tried in the United Kingdom?
* In short, if the Banks were a foreign enemy or terrorist organization, could they do any greater harm, more effectively, to the United States?
* And could they do it with greater disdain?
The root of the word "capitalism" is "capital". It is our understanding that in a free enterprise system, capital is the core element in economic development and that it comes through institutions called banks. In this Post-Prosperity Era, banks have decided they are not here to provide capital, but to charge fees for everything imaginable, pay out little or no interest but demand huge credit card fees and interest, while simultaneously repossess our homes. That's their entire business model.
Except for those bank shareholders who receive dividends, there is in fact no "Capitalism" being conducted by these institutions.
Recently people were fascinated to see Goldman "invest" a large sum in Facebook, suggesting that website was worth billions, but Goldman was proving nothing of the sort. In fact the investment bank was simply doing what it does best: (1)Acquiring equity that could be re-sold to existing or new clients at a profit and with commissions and (2) Putting itself in an almost unassailable position to earn hundreds of millions more for handling Facebook's IPO in the next five years.
Any corporation has the right to make a profit. But only banks have as their raison d'etre facilitating not just a nation's profits, but its economic survival through Main Street liquidity.
Without it, we are seeing across our green and pleasant land what happens. A chokehold of funds by the banks + an austerity budget by the government = rioting in the streets. You may loathe hooliganism, but you can call an irrational response to the bank/government cabal.
The banks are quite clearly telling us that it is not their role to do anything about this Depression or what makes thousands of normal people suddenly riot in the streets. In the words of Nobel Laureate in Economics, Joseph Stieglitz: "If bankers win, they walk off with the proceeds, and if they lose, taxpayers pick up the tab."
Which leaves us with the greatest question of all: If banks no longer will provide capital, what is the future of Capitalism? A recent study shows almost half of all Americans believe our nation's best days are behind us. With banks like ours, we can't blame this one on China.
Banks, Chase, Depression, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mae, Goldman Sachs, Stieglitz, sub prime, TARP

"I then noticed the /var/log/zimbra-stats.log file was staying empty... after much digging, I found the /etc/syslog.conf file wasn't modified during the installation like it should to include zimbra-stats.log I backed up my /etc/syslog.conf file and then ran this as root:
I try to do this, because several treads says this is the way to correct this issue, but in the folder /opt/zimbra/bin don't have the zmsyslogsetup.?

10/29/2008, Pacific Ocean
This is our second night passage on the way to Turtle Bay. John is at the helm; I'm about to start a shift at 2 a.m. If we maintain our present speed we will arrive at 9 a.m.
The total length of this leg is 390 nautical miles. Winds are light, 8 knots coming from behind gives us a very low apparent wind speed so we are motorsailing.
We had a very nice afternoon under sail yesterday. The air and sea temperatures are noticeably getting warmer.
We fixed the radar mount yesterday. John held the assembly at the right angle with Vise Grips and Francois adjusted the height of the assembly using the topping lift, while I extracted the broken bolt and replaced it with a new one.
We had a problem with the furling line yesterday. The interior core of the line inexplicably bulged out of the line like a big hernia. This made it impossible to pass the line through a fairlead and impossible to furl the sail. Thank goodness this didn't happen to us in a blow! I removed the furling line and replaced it with a thinner line. Ironically this thinner line is the original line that Harken supplied with the new roller furler.
I also discovered an imminent problem at the furler. The tack of the jib is fastened to the furler with a short pennant made of something like Vectran. This pennant is suffering from chafe and won't last much longer. While we're in Turtle Bay I'll have to improvise something better. A steel cable pennant would be the way to go here. Maybe someone in the Haha fleet has steel cable and crimps that I can use.
I need to add steel cable and crimps to my list of required spares to carry.
John flies a kite, in preparation for our Aerial Kite Photography (AKP) experiments.
We finally arrived at Bahia de Los Tortugas (Turtle Bay) at 8:30 PM. It was the longest leg of the Baja Haha, two nights and a day, about 400 nautical miles, or about half way down the Baja California peninsula.
Overall, the winds were generally light, though we had a few thunderstorms and squalls.
We caught one fish, a small tuna, which we're having for dinner tonight.
As we approached the anchorage, it looked like a city, with all the anchor lights. There were at least 50 other boats already anchored that arrived ahead of us.
We're looking forward to going ashore tomorrow with our dinghy and visiting the tiny town.
The photo attached is of the sunset sky as we approached Turtle Bay.
10/29/2008, Pacific Ocean
First of all I misstated our ETA at Turtle Bay in our last post... It looks to be about 9 PM today, not 9 AM.
Last night's sail was pleasant. There was light wind, but enough to keep the sails full. I was up from 1 a.m. until 8:30 a.m., and never saw the moon once. The stars were brilliant at night. The sunrise was a glory to behold.
It is now 1 PM. Winds are now extremely light, about 4 knots. The good news is we have flat seas. The bad news is we have to motor.
It is quite warm out, and we're all in our shorts or bathing suits. Several boats in the fleet have caught tuna. We put our hook out earlier today.
10/28/2008, south of Ensenada
Quite a bit has happened in the last few days. The new autopilot and new E80 chartplotter are installed and both work great. Prior to leaving San Diego, I tried to get the reluctant aft head working, and in the process removed the hose for overboard discharge. It turned out that the through hull for that hose doesn't close (you can turn the handle all right, but the valve does not shut off water flow).
So Monday morning at 8 a.m., I had the boat hauled out of the water at a yard in San Diego and had the valve replaced. We had the boat back in the water around 11:30 a.m., just in time to catch up with the Haha fleet that departed at 11:00.
We crossed the border into Mexico some time this afternoon and had a shot of tequila to celebrate. The winds were 15 to 20 knots on a broad reach, so we made good time, sailing at about 7 knots.
Towards the end of the afternoon I noticed something was wrong with the radar dome support. The dome was turned at a funny angle. The radar antenna is supported by a stainless steel tube that is bolted to a bracket at the stern and clamped to the backstay further up. The bolt where it is bolted at the stern had partially broken, allowing rotation of the entire radar antenna assembly along the axis of the backstay.
We attached the topping lift to the radar antenna to support its weight and minimize the strain on what is left of that quarter inch bolt. Also if that bolt separated completely, the stainless tube, with the radar cable in it, might damage the radar cable. We're hoping that won't happen before we get to Turtle Bay and can make repairs.
Speaking of which, the sail from San Diego to Turtle Bay is about 340 nautical miles. It's now 4 a.m. and we have another 215 nm to go. I'm doing the 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. shift, but I'm not too tired so I think I'll keep the watch for a few more hours. The night is clear and moonless and I can see the lights, and radar blips, of several Haha boats within a few miles of us. I'm keeping a constant watch for other boats. The AIS does a great job of watching out for ships. I would recommend AIS for anyone planning to do offshore sailing.
I have to say the Baja Haha looks like a ton of fun and I look forward to following the adventures.
10/26/2008, San Diego
We had a great time at the costume party today. Bruce and Pascale won their category for best costume!
10/26/2008, San Diego
To celebrate finishing lots of work on the boat, and being ready for tomorrow's start of the Ha-Ha we went out to dinner in the Gas Lamp district. We all wore our matching boat shirts.
Laundry hanging out to dry...

HE SAID/SHE SAID is officially back! Apparently, the Wimbledon officials have more sense than the Roland Garros officials and have allowed transcripts to be posted a day later. See? Now everyone's happy (at least I am)...
VENUS WILLIAMS: Uhm, 'old school' has a lot of good connotations, you know what I mean? But, uhm, I'm not sure like in the style of my game I'd be old school. I still think I come out with a lot of new moves, so...
Q. How nice was it for you to see your mother and father sitting in the Royal Box in the front row?
RAFAEL NADAL: Too many beautiful things to saw my mom and my dad in the Royal Box. For sure can just say thanks to Wimbledon, to the people who organize this fantastic tournament to invite my mother and father to the Royal Box. I think for them was a great experience. So, yeah, everything in general was very, very nice today.
FRANCESCA SCHIAVONE: For me it was fantastic because really I start the third set and I couldn't understand why she was playing so aggressive and I couldn't move her. So at the end I say, Something is not working. Of course, when they put the roof, I went back to the locker room and I spoke with Barazzutti. He say something to me, something that was really important. So I came back and I was playing better.
Q. He told you to work more on moving her around?
FRANCESCA SCHIAVONE: Yeah.
ANDY MURRAY: My Mum did, yeah, which we shouldn't make them cups of tea. You know, it's just very intrusive when you get someone sort of in your house in the morning. When you're going to the toilet and they're staring at you, it's a bit... you know, in your own home, it's just quite strange feeling. (Laughter.)
Q. Are you sure they're drug testers?
ANDY MURRAY: You hope so. I've actually spoken with a few of the players about that in the past that, you know, they could easily... because it's not like we ever check. I don't really check, you know, whatever they're saying.
Q. They don't have a card saying...
ANDY MURRAY: They do, yeah. They do have the card, but I don't know. I mean, you're not going to know if it's real or not, are you?

|Remodeling begins for new Holyoke Pharmacy
|Written by Chris Lee
Remodeling began Tuesday, Oct. 23 at Holyoke Marketplace to make space that will be used to house Holyoke Pharmacy.
Jamie Hanes, Pharm.D., of Imperial, Neb. and Jason Burke of Omaha, Neb. have partnered for the joint venture that will bring a new pharmacy to the Holyoke community, and they are chomping at the bit to open.
Hanes has worked with his father, Jim, at Adams Drug in Imperial, Neb. for the past four years. Burke is a pharmacy student at University of Nebraska Medical Center and will graduate in May with his degree. He is currently performing a rotation in Omaha at a Walgreens store.
"We're pretty excited," Hanes said last Wednesday of the new venture.
When the news broke that Pamida in Holyoke would be closing, Hanes said he and Burke, who was serving a one-month rotation in Imperial with Hanes, began tossing the idea around. In August, they began talking with Holyoke Marketplace owners Brad Moline and Kenny Owens about the idea.
"It snowballed from there," Burke said.
Mike Smith is in charge of the renovation at Holyoke Marketplace and said last week he expects it to take around two months—depending on weather.
Owens said they will simply rent the space out to Holyoke Pharmacy. He also noted business in the grocery store will go on as usual during the renovation project, and he hopes customers understand.
A 420-square-foot space located in the southwest portion of the building will be where the new pharmacy will be housed.
Hanes will serve as the pharmacist to begin with. He said they have been in communication with three others who may possibly help fill in. Hanes said there will always be a pharmacist at the store, which is scheduled to be open six days a week. A pharmacy technician will also be staffed at the location.
Prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs will be available. Gift lines are not something they plan to offer.
Burke said they are excited about the opportunity of incorporating a pharmacy with the grocery store—something that is rare in rural communities. They hope to make the one-stop shopping experience convenient.
He also noted they are looking forward to working with the health care providers in Holyoke and the surrounding area.
"We not only wanted to bring a full-service pharmacy to Holyoke but give back to the community as well," Burke said.
"Our chips are all in," Hanes added.
Both Hanes and Burke are familiar with the area, having grown up in Imperial. They both enjoy it and want to make it their home.
"There is nowhere else we want to invest our time," Burke said.
Hanes is a 1995 graduate of Chase County High School. He received his bachelor's degree from University of Nebraska at Lincoln in 2000. He graduated from Creighton University in 2004 with his pharmacy degree.
He currently works with his father at Adams Drug in Imperial. He also serves as a pharmacy consultant for the long-term care facility and provides an anticoagulation clinic at Chase County Community Hospital.
After graduation, he spent time in Iowa and Minnesota working with hospitals and clinics.
Hanes' wife, Brandy, is a family nurse practitioner at Chase County Community Hospital. The couple has two children, Madelynn, 7, and Miles, 4.
In his free time, Hanes enjoys the outdoors, running, sports and keeping up with his kids. He also said he plays the guitar.
Burke is a 2004 CCHS graduate. He received his business degree in accounting from UNL in 2009. He then began his pharmacy studies at University of Nebraska Medical Center. He is currently in the process of serving 10 four-week rotations which take him to rural areas, larger hospitals and chain drug stores.
Burke and wife Whitney, who is a registered nurse, live in Omaha. He enjoys golfing, hunting, going to the lake and spending time with family.

Item # MAV0454
Don't worry though, we have a lot more 26" Mountain Bike Wheels - Clincher in stock than that.View Similar Products
Mavic Crosstrail 26in Wheelset $0.00
Your all-mountain wheels take a beating. They go where you go, which isn't always gentle, sweeping singletrack beside a babbling brook. Because your adventurous spirit beckons to the call of the wild, you need the Mavic Crosstrail 26in Wheelset rolling under you. Mavic continues to improve these wheels, borrowing technology from higher-end offerings, such as Maxtal aluminum rim construction and UST tubeless compatibility, to build a wheel that is ready to take on whatever you hand it. Like the rest of Mavic's mountain wheels, the Crosstrail Wheels are compatible with multiple axle standards, making them a standout upgrade to your all-mountain rig.
The weight savings is due to a new extrusion for the Maxtal aluminum rims. Mavic's engineers determined that they could do the same job with less material. Then they further lighten them using their Inter Spoke Milling (ISM) process to remove unnecessary weight from between the spokes. Both hubs are aluminum, and the front hub is 50 grams lighter than before.
One of the reasons we like Mavic wheels is summed up in three letters -- UST. Mavic achieves this coveted designation by employing their FORE drilling process to create threads in the inside wall of the rim for the 24 stainless straight-pull spokes in both wheels and to allow nipples to attach into, yet there are no holes in the outside wall of the rim. You won't need rim strips, and you won't have to fuss with them to get a good seal.
The Mavic Crosstrail 26in Wheelset is built to accommodate a six bolt rotor. You'll also get Mavic's standard quick releases, but the front hub is convertible to 15mm thru-axle with included adapters. The FTS-X freehub is compatible with 9- and 10-speed drivetrain systems. The wheelset is delivered with UST valves and accessories and a spoke wrench.

Four Links are Better Than NoneWritten by on June 12, 2007 Installing Coilovers And A Four-Link In '49-54 Chevys
As the prices of Tri-Five Chevys have continued to climb, we're seeing more and more people turning to the more affordable (and just as cool, in our opinion) '49-54 Chevys. Several manufactures have taken notice of these up-and-coming projects and started supplying more parts to help improve the factory's design. One area that needs attention in just about any car manufactured more than 50 years ago is the suspension.
Walton Fabrication is now offering a kit to replace the stock parallel leaf springs with a four-link system that can be easily installed by someone who knows how to use a tape measure and has a little welding skill. Two of the main brackets mount using existing holes, and then the rear crossmember is set using a measurement from there so the guesswork has been eliminated.
We happened to catch the Walton crew as they were getting ready to install one on a '49 Chevy when we were out visiting some shops one day. They had already removed the old spring brackets and installed the new brackets on the rearend. The rest of the install went pretty quickly after that.

The Walton Fabrication kit comes with all the parts you'll need to remove your Chevy's parallel leaf springs and install coilovers and a four-link.Todd started by drilling out the rivets to remove the stock front and rear spring hangers. The new four-link front bracket could then be bolted on using four of the holes left by the stock rivets, in addition to two more that were drilled using the bracket as a jig. The inside middle bolt installation is a little tricky, but Walton has cut an access hole to make it a little easier.These two tabs on the side of the bracket will rest against the inside of the framerail, and Todd recommends giving them a quick hit with the welder to secure them.Once he had room for the bracket, Todd measured back (dimensions are in the instructions) from the front bracket so he could locate the coilover crossmember.He then clamped the crossmember in place so he could use it as a guide to drill four holes on each side. He used the supplied hardware to secure it once the holes were drilled.Before the rear coilover crossmember could be installed, the floorpan needed a little modification to make room.The rearend (the brackets had already been welded on) was slid in place with a jack and the four-links were installed. A track bar runs from the driver-side front lower bracket to the passenger-side rear lower bracket. These pivot brackets were used instead of the normal Nylok nuts on these two lower links.

Guest Post and Giveaway from author Jeaniene Frost
Like most authors, long before I ever started writing, I was an avid reader. I also love to sit on my couch and watch TV (if you're noticing a sedentary trend…you're right!). So with all these three-plus decades of reading and chilling out in front of the TV, you'd think I'd be pretty familiar with what rings my bell and why, but it was only in the past couple years that I figured it out.
I could use examples from books to illustrate this, but because it's impossible for me to pick a favorite, nor do I want another author to feel like I'm singling him/her out for criticism, I'll use two TV shows I'm currently following: Merlin and Supernatural. Yes, both shows debuted years ago, but deadlines have gotten me behind on my TV-watching, so cut me a break ;-).
Supernatural is a show set in modern times with two brothers, Dean and Sam, who hunt evil creatures that go bump in the night – or day. Considering I write about a half-vampire who hunts vampires and ghouls, this is SO up my alley. The dialog on Supernatural is witty, there's action in every episode, the lead actors are hot (call me shallow, but that's a plus for me) and the show features paranormal beings of all kinds. Win, win, win. But…it's not my favorite of the two series, and here's why. Aside from Dean and Sam, there are very few other recurring characters (so far at least; I'm only done with the first season). Each episode, Dean and Sam meet new people, end up fighting a paranormal being of some kind, and then drive off in their muscle car never to see those other people again. I'm entertained when I watch the show – and sometimes spooked, too, which I count as a plus – but I don't feel rabid about watching the next episode. There's just not enough for me to plug into, and that's because of my preference as a viewer.
Merlin is a show that takes the familiar Arthurian/Camelot legend and turns it on its ear, making the sagacious character of Merlin into a bumbling teenage boy still trying to figure out his abilities. Likewise, the noble and unfailingly fair Arthur is portrayed as a spoiled young prince who vacillates between acting like a "prat," as Merlin often calls him, and showing flashes of true greatness. King Uther, Arthur's father, rules Camelot with a mercilessness that would make Alice in Wonderland's Red Queen weep with jealousy. Guinevere is not a noblewoman in this version, but Morgana's maidservant, so she's treated by many people as a second-class citizen. Speaking of Arthur's half sister, Morgana, she starts the series as being kind to a fault and oppressed by her "protector" Uther. Morgana has an ally in the court physician, Gaius, who has also taken Merlin under his wing. There's even a talking dragon that is at turns wise and callous.
The Arthurian tale is one that's fascinated me since I was a child, to the point where the first book I started – but never finished – is set around this legend. I researched the era extensively, so I can assure you that there's almost nothing historically accurate about Merlin. The weapons don't reflect what was common in 5th century Britain, neither does the clothing, their manner of speaking doesn't attempt to be authentic, everyone's clean and has all their teeth, they eat with forks (not invented until hundreds of years later!) and I could go on. I spent the first episode bitching about all these inaccuracies until my husband gave me one of those "Will you please zip it, I'm trying to watch" looks and I zipped it because occasionally, I try to be a nice wife *wink*.
And yet, after the first few episodes, I became addicted to this show. I watched season one on Netflix Instant and then ran out and bought season two because I couldn't stand to wait the three weeks it would take for Netflix to send me the first DVD of it. After I watched the entire second season in a week (never fear, I only watched it at night after I finished my writing for the day!) I then bought the first four episodes of season three on iTunes because apparently, it started a month ago and I want to get current before the next new episode.
Why the addiction? Well, it's certainly not because of the show's adherence to historical accuracy, lol. Plot holes aren't unheard of, either. But the characters, oh, they shine for me*. Arthur and Merlin have great chemistry, making their friendship and bantering in the face of very different circumstances somehow feel authentic. Guinevere breaks your heart and makes you root for her because she's so sincere and she tries so hard. Uther, I love to hate. He's such a raging [censored] that when he received some comeuppance in the form of a female troll, I clapped and hooted at the TV like a crazy person. Morgana seems tragically destined for evil, but you can see how her circumstances make her who she is, and so even as I'm hoping she fails, I feel her pain. Gaius tries to hold his makeshift family together while hiding most of what they're doing from Uther's deadly notice. Even the dragon can be endearing, though he's crafty and you're never sure whether or not he's trustworthy.
In short, I am totally invested in these characters, and that's what makes the series for me. Just like when I'm reading, characters will make or break a book. I can read a novel with the most scintillating plot, the best twists, action, suspense, or romance galore, yet if I don't feel connected to the characters, my response will be an inevitable "meh." Give me a book with characters that feel so real, I almost expect them to pop up behind me while I'm reading, and I will rave about that book to my friends even if I have issues with other aspects of the story. Give me a book with jump-off-the-page characters and a great plot, and that author goes on my auto-buy list for every book he/she writes.
All readers (or TV watchers and movie-goer) have their own likes and dislikes, but characters reign supreme for me. Because of that, it's probably no surprise that when I write, my plot forms and evolves from the characters instead of the other way around. I know this style won't mesh with every reader, nor will all readers connect with my characters the way I hope they do, but because of my deeply-rooted preference, I can't do it any other way. For me, whether in books, TV, or movies, it's not the "what" that matters most. It's the "who."
*Your mileage may vary, of course.

Hochevar Part of Baseball History
Last night, the Royals top pitching prospect made history.
Starting for Double-A Wichita Tuesday night in Tulsa, Luke Hochevar, the Royals top pick in 2006, faced Greg Reynolds, who was selected second overall by Colorado last year. It marked the first time in professional baseball history that the top two picks from the same draft started against each other in a game. And, it appears the moment was worth the wait.
Hochevar allowed an unearned run on five hits in seven innings. He struck out five and did not issue a walk. Reynolds didn't allow any runs on two hits over five innings. He struck out one batter, while walking only one as well. Neither are getting the win since the game was suspended due to lightning after 11 innings tied, 1-1. Talk about historical drama. The game is scheduled to be completed at 12:05 p.m. today.
Reynolds, who entered the game 4-1 with a 1.58 ERA in seven games, left after five innings because he was on a limited pitch count in his return from right-shoulder inflammation. He threw 48 pitches. Hochevar carried a 3-6 record and a 5.05 ERA into the contest.
According to research done by Minor League Baseball, the only other time in the draft, which has been around since 1965, that pitchers were taken with the top two picks was in 1976 when Houston drafted Floyd Bannister (dad of Royals starter Brian Bannister) and Detroit followed by picking Pat Underwood. The two never faced each other in the Minors and didn't start against each other in the Majors. They did meet twice, in 1979 and 1982, with Bannister starting and Underwood pitching in relief.

What are the chances Hochevar will be called up this year and see significant action?

A Wild West WeekendWritten by on July 13, 2005 The 4th Annual Lonestar Rod & Kustom Round Up
In just four short years, the Lonestar Rod & Kustom Round Up has built itself into one of the "must attend" events for all retro rodders around the globe. Modeled after the West Coast's Paso Robles event, the Austin, Texas, event offers even more with a rockin' night scene in the town that invented live music. The show is based out of the historic Continental Club, which has hosted any and every cool musician you can think of since the dawn of rock 'n' roll, and other live music clubs are within walking distance on Congress Street. The food cannot be forgotten either as these people know how to barbecue just about anything to perfection!
The weekend begins with people and cars converging to the state capitol throughout the week and then really making it a party on Friday night when cruising is a mandatory event. Later that night bands fire up in the clubs and festivities continue into the wee hours. On Saturday morning the rumbling rods and customs roll onto event grounds and line up casually where ever they like. Once the cars are settled, the live music starts up again and continues through the day as spectators check out the rides and wares of many talented artists, like Von Franco and Keith Weesner, who show off their latest creations in the vendor area.
The day is wrapped up with a casual awards ceremony for rides selected by the Kontinentals who do all the hard work making the event happen. That night the action moves back to Congress Street with even more cruising and spectating from the sidewalk. After the sun sets the bands again plug in and rock Austin well into the night, with rodders like Bob Bleed, of Bleed and Bubba Luv, and Hank Cash, of High School Caesar, making it happen.
Wrapping up the wild weekend on Sunday is a leisurely cruise out to a local lake for a burger and some final bench racing and story swapping until next year. For information on the next Lonestar Rod & Kustom Round Up and a look at past events, check out www.lone-starroundup.com. We'll see you there next year!

Do we need a "Bike Flipping 101" thread/stickie in the Valuation sub-forum?
Several threads recently are along the lines of: "I want to buy a bike to ride now and flip later so is this a good bike for that and if not then what should I look for and how do I know if a bike is a good bike to buy and flip".
I'm thinking maybe a generic, non-specific, generalized steps or process to select and then tune or repair and then price a bike. Probably pretty much the same comments that are already posted as replies to some of the current threads, but consolidated into one thread to direct people towards.
I'm not really a flipper, been keeping most of what I've found, but I have sold a couple of bikes over the last year or so, but "flipping" isn't my personal primary motivator. But I can see where some might see this as a way to make the hobby somewhat self supporting financially, "somewhat" being the operative word there.
Thoughts, comments, flames, other?

Since ranchers are more protective of their deer than the antelope you may find it hard to find a place. One word of advice and that is if you don't have a place or places locked up, don't go and just bite the bullet for the cost of those cheap licenses and figure that you should have looked at things closer before you applied.

|5-year-old Blye is leaving on a jet plane
|Written by Chris Lee
The orange shirts can still be seen on people around town, Blye is happy as ever, and his parents are counting down the days.
The "quest" the McCallum family set out for will become a reality in just under two weeks.
Blye McCallum, along with parents Gary and Andrea and grandparents Paul and Sheila Gift, are scheduled to fly out of Denver Tuesday, Feb. 1 on their way to Germany for Blye's stem cell implantation by lumbar puncture treatment.
The main treatment will take place Thursday, Feb. 10—a day the McCallums hope Holyoke will show support by wearing their orange Blye's Quest shirts.
The McCallums are planning to don their orange shirts the day of their departure. "We're going to look like a bunch of pumpkins," Andrea said. Interestingly enough, the shuttle company that will meet them at the airport and help them get around wears orange uniforms. Andrea said she told Blye that is just another sign the trip is meant to be.
Blye McCallum will be joined by his parents Gary and Andrea Feb. 1
Their flight will take them directly from Denver to Frankfurt, Germany where they will have a slight layover before boarding a plane for Düsseldorf, Germany.
Blye's initial assessment is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 7 where an introduction will be conducted along with the anesthesia consultation.
The next day, Blye and family will meet with his treating physician to discuss details of the treatment, take pre-treatment blood tests and have bone marrow collected. Andrea said the collection will come from Blye's hip.
Doctors will then spend Wednesday preparing the sample and determining if another needs to be taken. If not, Blye will be ready for his treatment Thursday.
The actual treatment will take place by implanting stem cells in Blye's back between lumbar vertebrae L4 and L5.
The injected fluid circulates up the spinal canal and throughout the brain. Before the injection, the doctor will insert a spinal needle and remove 4-8 milliliters of spinal fluid which is mixed with the stem cell solution.
After the injection, Blye will lie down in the recovery room for a few hours to allow the stem cells to migrate throughout the spinal canal and brain.
Blye's parents will be by his side the entire trip to keep him comfortable. Andrea said Blye knows something is going to happen but he doesn't know exactly what the process will consist of.
One of the nice things about the treatment is it is an out-patient procedure so Blye won't have to spend any of the nights in the hospital.
Andrea said their hotel room is connected to her parents' which will help Blye feel a little more at home.
Andrea recently took Blye to Denver for an MRI and drove down Tower Road near the airport so he could see planes flying in and out of DIA. "He was so excited," Andrea said. "I had been telling him about the airplanes, but it wasn't until we came home from the MRI that I really did understand he knew he was going to be on one of those planes."
A family friend recently sent Blye a small airplane and Andrea said they have been talking to him about the upcoming trip.
An incentive for completing the procedure and getting through everything is "the biggest chocolate bar he has ever seen," Andrea said.
Once returning to the United States Feb. 15, Blye will undergo different types of therapy. One type will be immersion therapy in Denver, which takes a lot of hard work, Andrea said. Blye will attend therapy five hours a day for five straight days. "If we put in this much work and do this, we will see a result from it," Andrea said.
Blye's mom said the school and his teachers have been great to work with, seeing how Blye will be gone for two weeks and then attending therapy sessions once getting home.
Even though Blye's family is excited and anxious to see what will come after the process, there are still jitters and some uneasiness leading into the trip. One thing Andrea is concerned about is the facility where the treatment will be done.
She said the photos appear to portray it as a modern "white and plain" hospital, unlike Children's Hospital where Blye is comfortable. They hope to take some toys and his blanket to help comfort him.
Leading up to the trip, Andrea said they are excited to get going. They are looking forward to the flight but a little worried about all the smaller pieces once arriving.
After Blye's benefit, Andrea said she was relaxed and Gary was a little nervous. But now, she said, things have flip-flopped. "I feel like my head is spinning half the time," Andrea said.
A big factor will be the small support group traveling with them. "My parents are awesome," Andrea said. "I'm so glad they are going with us."
Everyone is also excited and anxious to see what will be different after the procedure.
"This could pull him into a different realm," Andrea said. "If it could unlock his speech or if it could just relax a muscle or make it easier to reach for something, it was worth it all in the end."
Community comes together for youngster
Gary and Andrea find it hard to come up with words to express their appreciation when thinking about the support the community provided during Blye's benefit. Over 700 people packed the Event Center to show support for Blye Friday, Nov. 12.
In addition to the benefit, 6,484.4 bushels of grain were donated on behalf of the little guy who has stolen the hearts of many in the community.
Andrea said the generous community support will allow Blye to go back for additional treatment, if interested, in the future.
She mentioned walking back into the Event Center automatically makes them relive the night of the benefit and reminds them how loved their family is.
"To know we are leaving with that much support behind us just makes it worth it," Andrea said. "Everyone is so behind us and rooting for us and wanting this to happen for us. We have a whole town behind us."
Andrea said they will update Blye's blog almost every day to keep Holyoke supporters up-to-date on the trip. Visit www.blyesquest.blogspot.com over the two-week period to keep up on Blye's progress.
"I don't chalk it all up to just medicine," Blye's mom said. "I think with enough prayer and support, something will happen. I believe in miracles, I really do, and I think God allows them to happen. I'm hoping he has one for Blye."

During an election year, viewers watch carefully to see how the media covers the candidates. It's a delicate balancing effort for us, making sure to cover each candidate as fairly and equally as possible.
One viewer wrote in this morning, concerned that Heather King had interviewed Barack Obama live on WITN News at Sunrise this primary day. She was concerned about bias against Hillary Clinton.
WITN has covered both candidates extensively on their campaigns across North Carolina and beyond.
We have covered all Clinton's visits to Eastern Carolina, even live streaming her speech from Jacksonville on WITN-TV and witntv.com. We also aired live shots from her appearance in Kinston and aired her speech live on witntv.com. We have traveled to Raleigh-Durham to cover her on the campaign trail there. We have covered two of Bill Clinton's visits to Eastern Carolina, one of them with live reports.
Barack Obama's visit to Greenville was aired live in part here on WITN-TV and witntv.com, with live coverage from Minges Coliseum at ECU. While we covered another Obama visit in Wilson, we did not do so live. We have traveled to Fayetteville to cover his campaign efforts.
When Obama's campaign team offered the chance to interview him live this morning, we discussed the possibility and made the decision to move forward. We felt it was a fair move in the balance of coverage of the two candidates. We made sure to include soundbites and other stories about Clinton this morning as well.
We hope you'll continue to keep WITN tuned in throughout this Primary Day... we are following more than 100 races, including federal, state and local contests. We'll bring you the results tonight on WITN-TV as well on witntv.com.

Thursday, October 1
Just to repeat, they're both fine for me.
And me!
Let's ink in that Wednesday the 30th, shall we? There is a chance I may leave for the weekend (Edinburgh or Paris - I haven't decided). That will give me an extra day if I decide to go early.

Seven years ago, a senior lawyer at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. found out that the company had participated in systemic bribery schemes and fraudulent accounting in Mexico to gain market dominance. An investigation followed uncovering proof that more than $24 million in bribes were paid for building permits, zoning approvals and reductions in environmental impact fees—all with the full knowledge of key Wal-Mart executives.
But instead of reporting this rampant corruption and facing the legal consequences, that lawyer along with dozens of Wal-Mart executives agreed to cover it up. And rather than reprimanding the executive leading the Mexican division of the business for breaking U.S. and Mexican laws, he was promoted to vice chairman.
Not only was Wal-Mart's behavior in Mexico unethical, but also it was potentially illegal under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, which bars U.S. companies from bribing officials abroad. The bribery allegations have led to investigations by the U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Those investigations are still ongoing.
In the meantime, the scandal, which came to light earlier this year, could cost Wal-Mart $4.5 billion in Justice Department penalties, along with a reduction in its stock price and growth targets.
In an effort to regain shareholders' trust, the company fast-tracked the appointment of former KPMG executive Tim Flynn to its board of directors in July. Flynn is expected to be involved with the audit committee looking into the bribery scandal internally. Still, it likely will take years for Wal-Mart to live down this legacy and rebuild its corporate brand.
It's a cautionary tale for business leaders who are willing to turn a blind eye to unethical behavior in exchange for business profits, according to Mark Toth, chief legal officer for ManpowerGroup North America. "When companies have ethical issues, it comes down to plain old leadership," he says. "It's not enough to have a code of ethics in the company handbook. Employees live by what they see at the top."
When leaders say they are ethical, but reward employees who break the law to get business, it demonstrates to employees that profits are more important than integrity, and they will act accordingly.
"You have to reward employees who do the right thing, even if it costs you time or money," Toth says.
Yet unethical corporate behavior seems to have worsened recently. The 2011 National Business Ethics Survey from the Ethics Resource Center shows that 45 percent of employees have witnessed ethical misconduct at work, and 13 percent say they are feeling pressure to bend the rules or even break the law—up 5 percentage points from 2010.
Such pressures are even more commonplace when companies do business in places such as Mexico, where bribery and corruption are expected, says Jeff Saltzman, CEO of consulting firm OrgVitality and adjunct professor in the School of Management at Binghamton University in New York.
"When companies do business in countries that treat bribery as a competitive differentiator, they have to orient employees about what it means to behave ethically," Saltzman says. "Corporate culture must trump local culture, and business leaders have to specifically define what that culture is."
As government agencies crack down on illegal corporate conduct, business leaders need to take stock of their own actions to be sure they are rewarding the right kinds of behavior—and punishing those who break the rules. That's exactly what DAI, a global project management development firm, did last November when it turned a local employee over to the Afghani police for demanding bribes from beneficiaries of a U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, program.
DAI oversees government-funded global development projects, and must hold itself to the highest ethical standards, says Michael Walsh, the company's chief ethics and compliance officer. "If you take short cuts or turn a blind eye to unethical behavior, people pay attention to that, and you can quickly lose their trust."
In the case of the USAID program, a local employee was asking for money from small-business owners in exchange for approving their grants, even though the grant form explicitly stated on the first page that if anyone on the DAI staff asks for money they should report it immediately.
One of the applicants reported the misconduct, and DAI immediately took action. Company officials removed him from the position last November and turned him over to police. In March the Afghan Special Anti-Corruption Tribunal Court sentenced him to three years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
"We worked closely with USAID on that conviction," Walsh says. "We have a system in place to move quickly to justice."
It's a bold step for a group such as DAI to report one of its own, but in Walsh's eyes and the eyes of DAI's leadership, there was simply no other choice. "You have to let people know that they have to do the right thing or there will be consequences," he says. "It's the only way to feel confident that everyone will make the right choices."
DAI provides ethics training and workshops for all of its workers, and it regularly audits projects for any violations. "People see our auditors all the time, so they know we are watching what they are doing," Walsh says.
Making the tough discussion to turn in an unethical worker does more than root out one bad apple. It sends a message to every employee, stakeholder and the community that this company is honest, and trustworthy, Walsh says. "Our people know that the people above them have their back as long as they do the right thing."

Broadcast Date: December 8, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, 4:00 p.m. GMT / UTCA proactive service delivery model can solve a lot of problems. With an end-to-end perspective, it can save IT time and resources by helping IT staff identify recurring problems and enable them to institute proactive measures to prevent problems from impacting service. But how do you get past multiple user administration interfaces, and difficulty in seeing historical and real-time events in a business context? With enterprises becoming increasingly complex, and the volume of events growing, the problem is becoming more urgent. IT shops need to respond proactively to infrastructure-related issues that are causing service degradation.
Consolidation of performance and the state or status of events has always been essential to managing an enterprise. Businesses have hundreds or perhaps thousands of events happening every day that IT needs to prioritize and manage. Is there a way to gain better understanding of what you need to manage?
Join us for this complimentary session and learn about a
methodology to get z/OS® events into Tivoli® Netcool® OMNIbus, and in
turn, Tivoli Business Service Manger (BSM). We'll highlight the Tivoli
Event Pump, and contrast it with other methods. This presentation will
discuss methods of architecting, collecting, visualizing and managing
business and IT events in your enterprise to improve the visibility and
control necessary to reduce costs and reduce risks.
In this session you'll learn about these features and more:
- Event consolidation and correlation across z/OS and
- distributed systems
- Auto-determine business and financial impact of service degradations to enable prioritization
- Real-time service management from a central point for business applications, network devices, Internet protocols and security devices
- Identify and resolve critical problems with automated event correlation, isolation and resolution capabilities
- Automatically retain events and business impact analysis to grow knowledge base and ease future correlation
Speaker: Clayton Ching, Senior Product Manager, Tivoli Business Service Management, IBM Software Group

Comments about GeoSafari® Mystery Rock®:
My grandson loved this toy of discovery. He did not follow good archaeological practices by carefully extricating the treasures. However, one could certainly teach those to a more patient child. Mine is 6. The plastic tool is a bit flimsy. Eventually under my close supervision he resorted to a hammer and a screwdriver to cleave the soft rock. I wish they would make other kits with different but similar "finds." this is a messy toy so be sure to put large swaths of newspaper underneath it on the work space. My grandson insisted I give this a 5 star review. I might give it 4 stars because of the flimsy plastic tool. Also the guide was missing from our box.

Comments about GeoSafari® Mystery Rock®:
I had 4-5 students working on each rock. It took quite a bit of time for the students to work through the clay to get to the specimens. They loved this project! I think it was great for them to realize that they needed to work slowly and carefully or they could damage their specimens. Real paleontologists would get in trouble/lose funding if they just broke up their specimens in the dig. The tool did wear down but the students just kept using it. I will definitely use these again for my Earth Science class. Real excavation is hard work too!

Comments about GeoSafari® Mystery Rock®:
My 10 year old daughter loves everything rock, fossil, and gem-related. She BEGGED me to get her this for Christmas. I thought it looked pretty cool, so I did. The first disappointment was the size of the mystery rock "matrix" (i.e., the clay that the rocks and gems are hidden in). It was maybe 7 inches in diameter and three inches thick, max. Second, upon opening the box, we discovered that there are only 9 (or maybe 10, the information on this was contradictory) specimens in the matrix, NOT 15 as pictured on the box. Third, I understand why they give you a plastic excavation tool to unearth the rocks, so as not to damage them (they are quite small, and some are also fragile) but geez, this thing mostly wore out before she even got the first specimen out of the matrix. We resorted to carefully using the pointy end of a metal can/bottle opener. Fourth disappointment - after excavating the tiny pieces of turquoise and malachite (we think - it was actually just a tiny bead of some sort, same with the "emerald", which was not only a bead, but I'm fairly sure it may even be made of plastic), my daughter pretty much lost interest in this. We resorted to dissolving the rest of the clay in water to unearth the rest of the specimens. Her comment, "when they say hours of fun on the box, they really mean hours of work, for not much payoff," pretty much sums up this product.

The term "Borked" or "Borking" originated with conservative talk show hosts (primarily Rush Limbaugh) to describe someone who is denied something earned simply because they either aren't politically correct enough or aren't trusted - usually without cause. The usage is derived from Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork who though eminently qualified was deemed too "conservative" to serve as a Supreme Court judge.
Harriet Meyers was "borked" by distrustful conservatives. NARAL "borks" any candidate that isn't "pro-choice". Radio stations around the country are "borking" the Dixie Chicks.

In computer software borked is usually synonomous with fucked up beyond all recognision, but usually has been delibratly done by someone who is incompatant.
This use of borked is rooted in the traditional defination, to obstruct by defimation &co. in this sense the obstruction is the fucked up, not working ness, and the defimation is that it is beyond all recognision.

Android is borked, Google didn't even use a posix, standard c compliant c library and I've seen more Java in starbucks than Davlik, no wonder there are no fucking apps for the thing, who'd waste years porting to that piece of fubar shit. Time to rm -rf / and install GNU/Linux.

Captain Shockerによって 2011年03月14日(月)
a refrence to supreme court justice nominee Robert Bork, who was never passed through the senate due to his conservative views. He was nominated by Ronald Raegan. borked means literally to get stuck or screwed.

to get completely screwed out of something for entirely LEGITIMATE reasons.
Judge Robert Bork was Borked out of his Supreme Court nomination because of his idiotic view of 'original intent' being the only correct way to interpret the Constitution. Did you know that according to 'original intent', the Supreme Court was engaging in judicial activism when it ruled against the constitutionality of segregation in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas?
rustyshacklefordによって 2007年12月10日(月)
In reference to Robert Bork, a nominee to the Supreme Court who, despite being very qualified was not appointed to the court due to partisan reasons.
It has come to mean, essentially, to get fucked over for something you deserve.

I am playing with the Context Menu's in Zimlets.
Does Zimbra offer the functionality to change the context menu's that appear when Zimbra objects are right clicked (Eg: a Calendar or email item), or can they only be configured for the Zimlet itself (ie: zimlet panel object).
The main purpose would be to allow the user to right click on any zimbra object and have a conext option for a Zimlet rather than relying on the user to drag the object over to the zimlet.
If this is already possible, are there any publicly available zimlets that use this from which I can obtain an example (As the whitepaper does not make it clear)
Many thanks in advance

Nothing wrong with them bucks, congrats
My wife and I hunted SW Wyoming earlier this month and took these bucks. I think the dry year took its toll on horn growth and we looked over a lot of bucks and these were two of the best we found. I'm kinda dusty in my pic after crawling on my stomach for a 1/4 mile...lol. Nothing beats Wyoming antelope hunting for fun. Hoping to take my sons in the next year or two!
Nothing wrong with them bucks, congrats
Waidmannsheil, wonderful bucks.
Outstanding bucks. You really did a great job on the presentation for the camera shots.
Antelope hunting is a blast. In the right place, and if you can get the right tags and perhaps add a couple doe tags in for added measure it reminds me of bird hunting. Hunting with a lots of action. Nice pictures Umpqua Hunter. Those pictures came out awesome. No blood showing, and they are positioned well in a natural looking position.
Xcllent Umpqua, your hard work paid off. Thx for the great pix!
Those are a couple nice bucks Umpqua. Looks like you two had a great time. Awesome pics!
Those are some really nice bucks, congrats! Awesome pictures too
Dang nice! Great job! It's always cool to see the lady's out taking some great bucks too.
Nice Bucks!!
