The world's largest drug manufacturer must answer off-label promotion charges brought by a new adversary. Not FDA, with its warning letters and threats of marketing sanctions, and not the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) at Health and Human Services, which often sues for fraud, forces huge settlements, and requires companies to do business under restrictive corporate integrity agreements. Instead, the company faces a class-action civil suit from insurance companies and union welfare funds, groups that, until recently, Pfizer regarded primarily as customers—or at least people who picked up the tab for customers. Now, led by the Welfare Fund of a Teamsters local from New Jersey, third-party payers are suing under RICO, the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. If their suit is successful, payers who have covered billions of dollars worth of Lipitor (atorvastatin) over the past five years will receive treble damages for the cost of off-label prescriptions. The suit may also attract the attention of OIG, because the plaintiffs are claiming that Pfizer's off-label marketing "scheme" defrauded Medicare and Medicaid. All in all, this is a very complicated lawsuit. So it is worth asking—and at least trying to answer—a few basic questions. Here are some things we wondered about when we read the complaint filed in The Welfare Fund of Teamsters Local 863 v. Pfizer Inc.
All of the Lipitor prescriptions referenced in this lawsuit were written to lower LDL cholesterol.How can anyone call that off-label prescribing?
Read the label. The Lipitor label contains prescribing guidelines known as the ATP III guidelines—the Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines—which were developed by the National Cholesterol Education Panel, a group affiliated with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Based on two factors—a patient's risk of heart disease and how high the patient's cholesterol count is—the guidelines (on the label) recommend different courses of treatment. People with high risk of heart disease and high cholesterol go on statins like Lipitor from the beginning. But patients with low risk of heart disease and only moderately high cholesterol generally start out with TLC—therapeutic lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise. The lawsuit turns on these low-risk patients. The Teamsters Welfare Fund alleges that Pfizer orchestrated a far-reaching marketing campaign to convince doctors to write Lipitor prescriptions for persons at low risk of heart disease and moderate LDL cholesterol counts, whose first line of treatment would ordinarily include diet and exercise, not statin therapy. More precisely, the Lipitor label states that statins are the recommended therapy for patients with cholesterol at 130 mg/dL and two or more risk factors (such as age, smoking, hypertension, low high-density-lipid cholesterol—low HDL-C—and a family history of early coronary heart disease) if they have a 10-to-20-percent chance of suffering coronary heart disease (CHD) within the next 10 years.However, if a patient has cholesterol of 130 mg/dL, two or more CHD risk factors, and less than a 10-percent chance of heart disease, the recommended first line of treatment is TLC. The LDL-C level "at which to consider drug therapy," for these patients, according to the label, is 160 mg/dL. When the Teamsters say Pfizer marketed Lipitor off-label, they mean that the company encouraged doctors to write Lipitor prescriptions for low-risk patients whose cholesterol is between 130 and 160 mg/dL. That is the basis for the Teamsters' fraud claim.
Whom did Pfizer harm?
No patients were harmed by off-label Lipitor prescriptions. But the Teamsters Welfare Fund, like other insurers who paid for the prescriptions, suffered financial harm when they paid for Lipitor prescriptions that, according to the complaint, never would have been written had Pfizer not marketed the drug off-label.
"Insurance companies traditionally do not require, when a GP prescribes Lipitor, a check to see if a person's cholesterol is 160," says Geoffrey Jarvis, an attorney for the plaintiffs. "The system isn't set up to sort of have that kind of Big Brother aspect to it." And Pfizer, according to the plaintiffs, took advantage of the fact that no one checked. "They got doctors to prescribe it to people who really, it's not called for," Jarvis says.

The oldest man in Majorca, Antoni Mut Pol, has just died at the age of 106 and it was only a short time ago that the oldest living resident of Soller, my mountain town, died at 104 years-old. It makes you wonder whether there's something magical in the air here.
In my salad days as a Guinness Book of Records adjudicator, I met many elderly contenders for entry to the book and was forever trying to find a common thread to their longevity. When I met John Evans, a retired coal miner from Wales, and at the time the oldest man in Britain, he told me that he had always kept a regular pattern to his eating and sleeping habits and stimulated his brain every day. So too did Charlotte Hughes, who at the same age, was the oldest woman to fly on Concorde.

Summary:During the Iran hostage crisis, the CIA and Hollywood collaborated in a life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans. Their role in these events was little-known until information was declassified many years later. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. In the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are discovered and likely killed, the Canadian and American governments ask the CIA to intervene. The CIA turns to their top "exfiltration" specialist, T... Full Summary >>

Drug of choice
Books | Theodore Dalrymple flips conventional assumptions about heroin addiction
"Drug of choice" Continued...
This month brings publication of the revised paperback edition of Romancing Opiates: Pharmacological Lies and the Addiction Bureaucracy (Encounter Books). It's an extraordinary look at heroin addiction, based on British author Theodore Dalrymple's experience as a prison doctor and hospital psychiatrist.
Dalrymple is used to turning standard assumptions upside down. In an extraordinary book published in 2001, Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass, Dalrymple notes that today's poor are not particularly poor "by the standards of human history," but many are trapped in "a special wretchedness" of passivity: The classic statement is that of the murderer who says "the knife went in." Dalrymple explains that liberal social determinism has taught many among the poor to ignore personal responsibility for actions.
In Romancing Opiates Dalrymple even more strikingly contravenes the conventional. He explains that heroin is not highly addictive, withdrawal from it does not require medical assistance, addicts do not become criminals to feed their habits, and heroin addiction is often a spiritual problem. His observations concur with the experience of some Christian anti-addiction programs such as Teen Challenge (see WORLD, July 12).
Dalrymple argues that many addicts have learned to game the medical system, and many doctors make things worse by medicalizing a moral issue.
WORLD: What is the standard, orthodox view of heroin addition?
DALRYMPLE: I think it is this. The man who becomes the addict stumbles across heroin somehow or other, takes a few doses, is "hooked," has to continue to avoid the dreadful symptoms consequent upon stopping. He finds himself unable to pay for the heroin he needs so he commits crimes, and then, if he is lucky, finds medical assistance for his condition which consists largely of a substitute drug. Without assistance, he is doomed; with it he is saved. All this is nonsense.
WORLD: Is the view that it's easy for people to fall into addiction also nonsense? You quote novelist William Burroughs: "You don't wake up one morning and decide to be a drug addict. It takes at least three months' shooting twice a day to get any habit at all." If an addiction is not easy to develop or sustain, what implications does that have for treatment?
DALRYMPLE: It means that the very concept of treatment is probably wrong. The addict has made a determined effort to become an addict. It is something he does, not something that has happened to him. For example, most heroin addicts in Britain have taken the drug for 12 months intermittently before taking it regularly, and furthermore know full well some of the consequences of taking it regularly. They are not victims; they are active agents. They want to be addicts; therefore, they must want not to be addicts also if they are to stop.
WORLD: Then how have addicts come to be considered blameless patients, creatures without choice?
DALRYMPLE: This is the result of a long historical process, which I date back to the English Romantics of the first quarter of the 19th century, particularly Thomas De Quincey and his very influential Confessions of an English Opium Eater. This book (the two editions published in his lifetime are very different, and the differences themselves expose the untruthfulness of De Quincey) contains all the misconceptions that have been faithfully handed down by authors ever since, including the odious Burroughs. Every fictional and cinematographic representation of heroin addiction has repeated uncritically De Quincey's equivocations, falsifications, and exaggerations.
WORLD: So why do we hear that withdrawal from heroin is physically dangerous when so many people beat their addictions without medical assistance?
DALRYMPLE: This is an interesting cultural phenomenon. People are often very surprised to learn that withdrawal from opiates (unless combined with other drugs, and with the single rare exception of withdrawal in pregnancy) is a trivial medical condition, unlike withdrawal from alcohol when it results in Delirium Tremens. The misconception arises because of the repeated misrepresentations in books and films. Of course, the myth of the horrors of withdrawal serves the interests of addicts who do not want to stop, and the professionals who want to "treat" addicts.
WORLD: What's the key evidence that heroin addiction is a spiritual or moral condition?
DALRYMPLE: There is lots of evidence. First, there are historical examples of thousands and indeed millions of opiate addicts giving up their addiction because of motivation to do so. Mao Tse Tung took a very dim view of opium addicts and threatened in the end to shoot them. When Mao threatened to shoot you, you took it seriously. Millions of people gave it up. It would not have made sense for Mao to say to people with rheumatoid arthritis, "I will shoot you if your joints don't become normal." It did make sense, even if it was wrong, to threaten to shoot addicts. There is therefore a conceptual difference between the two conditions.
Second, it is perfectly obvious from talking to addicts that their habit is usually a response to the dissatisfactions of their lives, a totally unconstructive one, but a response nonetheless.
WORLD: So what do you think of groups like Teen Challenge that advocate religious conversion as a way to end addiction?
DALRYMPLE: It has long been known that religious conversion often effects a change in behavior. Of course, it is not for everyone, nor can it be forced upon people. But textbooks of addiction medicine acknowledge that religious conversions, or crises, effect changes.
WORLD: Why do you call heroin use more a consequence than a cause of criminality?
DALRYMPLE: Most heroin addicts who end up in prison have long criminal records before they ever take heroin. Therefore, their propensity to crime pre-exists their addiction. It is clear also that the mass addiction that we have seen in Britain in the last two decades has taken hold in precisely the same population in which criminality had become firmly established. Whatever inclines people to crime inclines them also to addiction to heroin.
If you take someone like Burroughs, it is clear that his attraction to crime preceded his addiction.
WORLD: What do you think of the arguments for legalizing drug use?
DALRYMPLE: I think the debate is a rather sterile one. I can see the arguments in favor of legalization, but I think they are mistaken. If it is true that addiction is a consequence or a co-variant of criminality and not a cause of it, one of the supposed benefits of legalization will not accrue. The dealers, moreover, will not beat their needles into ploughshares and become respectable members of society. Furthermore, so long as there are restrictions on the sale of drugs, there will be a black market, and no one (as far as I know) suggests there should be no restrictions whatsoever.
The Netherlands, the most liberal country in Europe with regard to drugs, is also one of the most crime-ridden. I do not think this is a consequence of its drug policy, but it suggests that a liberal policy does not necessarily reduce crime.
On the other hand, it is perfectly possible that a liberal policy would not be a catastrophe by comparison with what we have now.
I think it is far more important to change the conception we have of addiction, and make people understand that it is not what we have thought it was for so long. Perhaps the most important thing is to stop pretending to addicts that their addiction is an illness in itself, and try to get them to see that they are agents, not victims.

The world is getting smarter as it is more instrumented, interconnected, and intelligent: we are living in a smarter planet. The data center of today is being called upon to deliver a dynamic and real-time IT infrastructure that can support business transformation as the smarter planet increases the scale, complexity, and diversity of workloads. Pervasive instrumentation will create vast amounts of data and drive new types of applications that require real-time data analysis and predictive intelligence.
Historic approaches bent business process around the limitations of technologies; today the expectation is for the technology to align with business process. The one-size-fits-all approach is no longer sufficient for organizations that are seeking to maximize their competitive advantage and ROI on IT investments. Organizations' strategic approach to IT must evolve to meet the corporate need not only of today, but of tomorrow as well.
In this paper, we examine the importance of IT's ability to deliver a dynamic, scalable, and optimized infrastructure that is tailored to an organization's workloads. We will review how IBM is embracing the smarter planet by delivering a Dynamic Infrastructure upon which workload-optimized solutions can be deployed to effectively meld business process with IT infrastructure. We will also highlight an example workload-optimized solution that addresses the vexing challenge of traffic congestion management in the inner city. With its workload-optimized approach, IBM has positioned itself to address organizations' search for an IT infrastructure that not only meets the present need, but can act as a catalyst to drive business transformation and enhanced competitive positioning in the marketplace.

I guess Fed's fashion sense must get diluted off the court cuz his little outfit is kinda lame. That belt, the matching kicks, his little bell bottom-ish jeans tuck meticulously into the shoes. Somebody's trying a little too hard to be cool and is not pulling it off.ReplyDelete
stone wash!!
i know - i thought he was more involved with his styling and the design of his tennis gear but he's really off here. is he trying to channel gavin? why try...he's right there!ReplyDelete
Oh, Rich -- these daggers you keep shoving in my poor heart. As if Andrew's engagement announcement coming on my birthday wasn't bad enough....ReplyDelete
The Fed clan looks nice and relaxed here. Thanks for the pic.ReplyDelete
On the contrary, during yesterday's match there was Anna Wintour sandwiches between two chics in horizontal stripes a la some Disney chipmunks. Reminds me of how brides always pick out goofy dresses for their bridesmaids so they'll be the hottest chic at the wedding.
I mean, I just imagine after Anna put her baby Fed in the sweater (nice touch), she turns to Mirka and the other chic like: for you we'll go with horizontal stripes. It draws the eye up and down creating a slimming effect. The girls are slipping on the tops thinking waaah, that makes no sense...
not nice annaReplyDelete
Andy's looking so hot,i love his dark shirt & hair cut.he & Brooklyn make a very cute couple.ReplyDelete
heartbroken Andy's out but i still believe he'll win big again.

Hello everyone, I set this up with FC3 with no issues, the install was painless. I've setup a couple of users just to demonstrate this to my clients who want an Exchange alternative. I'm running my demo box on an old Intel p2-400 with 256 megs of ram. With no clients connected, its running about 1.7 to 1.8 load average and I see two java processes that go from 25 to 75% on cpu all the time.
I know this is a weak box, but with it sitting there idle, how come java is eating up so much cpu? I know this is beta, but thought I would ask to see if I had something borked up. I did a minimal install of FC3 and then added the 3 packages that are required, libidn, curl and fetchmail, then did an install.

I really want an identical style, same gradient for grass, same textures for forests and mountains, same river colors. I don't need any town names since those would be added by game engine. Can anyone do it?

Comments about Trend Sports Xtender 30 Home Batting Cage:
I purchased this for my 7 year old son, so he could practice batting in our backyard. When we received it we were very excited to put it up, but once we took it out of the box we could see how poorly designed the unit was. The fiberglass rods are about 3 feet long and you need to assemble them in order and then tape them with the three rolls of electric tape that are included. One of of the rods had a factory defect and I had to make alterations to get it to go together. Putting it together took hours, although I only had help putting the net up. You need to be very carefull you don't damage the frame as you put the net over the fiberglass supports. After the cage was complete it looked pretty good and was fun for a day or so. Then, the next evening we got rain with very little wind and the frame buckled. I added two more support ropes to try to prevent it from happening again, but the next morning it happened again. They say you are supposed to take it down during windy storms, but it is too much work to take it down every time it sprinkles a little. I returned it two days later and purchased a quality net that I am making my own pvc frame for. Don't waste your money on this item.

My wife of over 50 years lost her gallant struggle to survive oct 12 at he Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Mn. We had an exciting, adventurous life through the healthy years. She was a good shooter, especially with a handgun, having shot at least one 300 score. She wanted me to go on the september bear hunt but her condition was too weak for me to do that. I still have the mule deer tag but not the enthusiasm of before, still, I think I will get into the mountains just as she would want me to do. I appricate the dedication and participation of a lifetime of exploring. RIP Betty
Truly sorry for your loss my prayers are with you. Im sure she will join you on every hunt from now on.
sorry brother
So sorry for your loss. You got to spend over 50 years with her, that is certainly a blessing in itself. You should go spend a little bit of time in the mountains.
Xtreme, I'm very sorry for your loss....I hope my marriage last half of what yours did.
Xtreme, Imagine all the wonderful memories that you two made over 50 years of marriage. I've no doubt that Betty was a fine person. I pray that your times in the mountains will be filled with those memories of her.
Your'e in my prayers and thoughts.
Xtreme, sorry for your loss. Enjoy all the things she would have wanted you to do. The mountains are one of the most peaceful places on earth. The remote country is just like God created, unchanged & perfect. My thoughts & prayers are with you.
Hebrews has this to say 11:5
By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
The Russian Orthodox say "Eternal Memory", and I truly wish you that.
Sorry for your loss Xtreme. Stand strong my friend!
Sorry to hear that. She has got her new set of lungs! Blessings.

WASHINGTON (WUSA 9) -- For breast cancer patients who receive chemotherapy, the thought of losing their hair is really devastating. But maybe going bald is no longer inevitable.
At Medstar Harbor Hospital in Baltimore, Md., patients are being offered a safe and effective system called cold cap therapy.
It uses super cold technology to prevent chemo from reaching hair follicles.
Cold Cap is only effective if started with that very first chemo session. Even with the device, there's still a 20% hair loss.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by gepalo Color Is Better Than Online Product Image I've owned the same WM product in the color Natural for over a year and had been eyeing the Brown for a sale price. I'd been hesitating because the online product photo for the brown made it look overly yellow. But the price was too good so I went for it and as it turns out, both online colors look different compared to what they look like in person, but in my opinion they both look better in person than online. On multiple monitors, the brown appeared to have a strong yellow undertone. In person, it's not nearly as yellow, but it's also not a rosy brown either, in case anyone was hoping. The Brown ones aren't hung yet but I've included a picture of the Brown color next to the Natural and the background is the World Market Basket-Weave Jute Rug in the natural color. I hope this helps those of you who might be on the fence about ordering these panels. I'm quite happy with both colors. Just some observations about these jute fiber curtains... 1) They have a slight chemical odor initially but it dissipates. My Natural color ones have been hanging over a year and I can't smell them anymore. 2) The herringbone is a heavier, tighter weave than other lighter weight burlap/jute drapes so it doesn't let as much light in and one can't see through them from outside. 3) They are Dry Clean ONLY for a reason. Do not wash. They will shrink (read below). 4) Takes some work/time to get the creases out from when they were folded in the packaging...I spritzed and steamed on the ironing board... a lot. I used a hot steaming iron on the jute and a cool setting for the lining. By the way, pay attention to the heat settings, unlike me, and avoid the lining when the iron is set to high. It's polyester and it doesn't take long to melt. Getting the wrinkles out is how I learned these things shrink a lot. I was tired of spritzing 9 panels so I thought I'd wet one of the panels more thoroughly by doing just a cold rinse cycle in the wash, plus I thought it'd help the odor. I layed it out to dry after the water was spun out (so heavy) and then ironed when it was damp and when I hung it, I found it had shrunk up above the lining, as well as then being shorter than the other panels. Oops. Learn from my mistake and do not submerge, soak, or spin them. January 26, 2015

text: FAQ - Feet Beauty Tutorials Tips and Techniques Brows Lashes Face Hands Feet FAQ Brows Lashes Face Hands Feet Men Teen The polish on my toes always lasts so much longer than the polish on my hands, sometimes even up to 3 weeks. Is it bad to leave polish on my nails this long? Leaving polish on your nails this long can be drying and dehydrate the nail. Once your polish starts to chip you should remove it with alessandro non-acetone remover (acetone removers are very drying on the nail). Not only does chipped polish look unattractive it can peel away a superficial layer of the nail as well, weakening your nails. I think my toenails are getting thicker…what could this be from? As we get older and approach senior citizenry our toenails naturally become thicker. If this is not your case it could be caused by inadequate nutrition, poor health or a fungal infection. If your nails are not only thick but also yellowing, one of the above might be a cause of the thickening nails. Consult your doctor and in the meantime be sure to wash and dry your feet thoroughly. I have a tendency to get ingrown toenails. Any advice about preventing this? Taking care of your feet and toenails should be a regular part of your personal care routine. If toenails are too long they can lead to discomfort in shoes and boots. Similarly, if toenails are too short, you will be prone to ingrown nails. First, be sure when cutting toenails to use a high quality clipper such as our Barrel Toenail Clipper to assure a clean smooth cut. To help prevent ingrowns, cut nails straight across, leaving about an 1/8" so that your nail doesn't extend beyond the tip of your toe. You can then gently file the corners slightly. If you are prone to ingrowns, our double-sided Ingrown Toenail File is excellent for thinning the nail corner and easing the pain. Before bathing file top of nails with a regular nail file to reduce thickness. After you soak and while nails are soft, gently slide either end of file under ingrown to lift nail - choose the flat or curved end depending on shape of nail. To file away ingrowns, slide file side under lifted area and slowly pull file out to thin the under-surface of the nail and relieve pressure. Repeat until nail is back to a normal shape and you feel relief. I have very rough calluses on my feet but because of circulatory problems, I cannot use a blade. What do you suggest I use to remove calluses? First, use alessandro One Minute Pedicure with natural sea salt crystals to exfoliate feet. To smooth calluses on your feet, a tool that is safe for those with diabetes, circulatory problems, etc. is Tweezerman's Pedro Callus Stone. For best results, use after or during bathing, when calluses are softer. After smoothing, apply alessandro Go Easy Moisturizing Foot Cream all over feet. Finally, apply Pedix Silky Touch Clean & Fresh Powder to keep feet from dry, clean and fresh all day! What's the difference between a blister, a callus or a corn? A blister is a fluid filled sack that forms under the skin and is caused by friction. Calluses and corns are generally also caused by friction, but do not contain fluid. A callus results when friction causes a build up of dead skin, often on the heel or bottom of the foot, whereas corns, small and kernel shaped, often form on the top or between toes. Some corns may need to be professionally removed, but for calluses, a callus tool such as Tweezerman's Sole Mates Foot File. To keep your feet healthy, keep in mind that shoes that are too tight or too loose can rub against and irritate the skin. How can I keep my toenails looking presentable without polish? First, look at your naked toes. If they have yellow stains, it may be from wearing dark polishes without applying a basecoat and you can probably remove the stains with hydrogen peroxide or a mild bleaching agent such as sodium hypochoride. We also recommend alessandro Pro White Effect Polish which is specifically formulated to neutralize discoloration on the nail. Nails appear brilliant and glossy after use. Tweezerman's File, Buff and Shine combination kit is one way to then gently file your nails, buff out ridges and achieve an amazing natural shine without polish.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- We're sick of the back and forth on Capitol Hill after the fiscal cliff fight, but at the end of the day that $618 billion patch they agreed on really just delays dealing with bigger problems.
Now we have the debt ceiling debate starting up and Congress has to deal with automatic spending cuts set to kick in by early March.
Both of those debates are shaping up to look a lot like the debates we saw over the last two months. Standing front and center is the question of how to raise taxes.
The White House wants to tie any future spending cuts to bringing in more tax revenue. The rich are already getting hit with a new round of tax hikes and tax experts are saying it will be hard to raise new taxes without touching middle class families.
The Tax Policy Center says tax exclusions and deductions currently total $1.1 trillion a year, but less than 10 percent of those tax breaks actually benefit corporations, meaning most cuts would have to hit individuals.
So let's take a look at middle class tax breaks that are vulnerable:
There's another option too: taking away more tax breaks on the rich, which could bring in several hundred billion dollars over a decade.

STEUBENVILLE - Steubenville High School wrestling added another trophy to its case Thursday at the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Class 4A Dual Meet Championships.
Nearly three weeks after Big Red claimed the OVAC 4A team title in Wheeling, Big Red came out and and won its second straight 4A dual meet title with a 48-30 finals victory against St. Clairsville after a 42-29 semifinals victory Oak Glen. This was only the second year for the dual meet tournament.
"It definitely is a good feeling," Big Red coach Mike Blackburn said. "We've been so up and down with how young we are and with some of the mistakes we make. We definitely had some great high this year though. We got beat last night by Cambridge and we were kind of upset by how we wrestled losing 37-36. We knew coming in we had a couple starters out and Oak Glen was going to give us a pretty good test. Our guys came out tonight and wrestled great.
"St. Clairsville came out and wrestled great too. It was a real good tournament. When the chips are on the line, with OVACs and the tournaments we've been in like this OVAC dual tournament, we wrestled tough."
In the finals Big Red received wins by pin from Branden Jones at 170 pounds and William Poplowski at 285 pounds. Both Jones and Poplowski won by pin in their semifinal matches as well. At 113 Tariq Wilson tech falled St. Clairsville's Alex Timko 19-4 in the finals after pinning Danny Wyke of Oak Glen in the semifinals. Shawn Livingston (145) picked up a win by tech fall (17-2) over Logan Thompson in the finals and by majority decision (11-1) over Patrick Arneault in the semifinals. Big Red's 120-pounder Dakota Goff pinned Donte Vincenzo in the finals and beat Robert Bozek 9-4 in the semifinals.
"I think overall we had kids stay alive where they needed to stay alive and we had kids get falls where we needed bonus points," said Blackburn. "That's how you win duals."
Another wrestler who stood out for Big Red was Niko Moray at 152 pounds. After a disappointing night against Cambridge Wednesday he bounced back in a big way to help Big Red bring home another team trophy.
"In yesterday's match Niko Moray was a little disappointed with himself and what happened," said Blackburn. "It wasn't the best match. He's had a great year and came out tonight to prove a point and he had a tech fall (against St. Clairsville's Logan DeLong) and a major decision (against Oak Glen's Alex Shuman) and wrestled pretty tough.
"Actually it was the third time he wrestled the kid from Oak Glen, and at the OVACs we were losing all the way until the end and came back to beat him so he's a tough kid. He definitely had a great evening for us."
Oak Glen took home third place with a 48-15 win over Harrison Central in the 4A consolation match. The Golden Bears took firm control of the match with three consecutive pins by Shuman, Will Hogan (160), and Devon Chadwick (170).
Nick Tice (138) and Lakota Grimes (182) each picked up pin in the semifinals against Big Red. Tice won by decision in the consolation match while Josh Cornell (126) won by decision against Harrison Central and by tech fall against Big Red.
Hunter Pizzino (132) took home a pair of victories with a pin of St. Clairsville's Colton Stevens and a decision over Oak Glen's Avery Flowers.
Shadyside claimed the Class 1A/2A title with a 39-36 win over Caldwell in the finals and 56-22 over River in the semifinals.
Toronto took home third place with a 40-28 win over River after losing 41-30 to Caldwell in the semifinals.
Drew Lowery led the Red Knights with a pin of River's Luke Matusik in the consolation match after defeating Caldwell's Sheldon Archer in the semifinals. Donnie Starkey had a major decision over River's Chase Schultheis to go with a forfeit while Max Tice and Charles Ross III each had a decision win and a forfeit.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A jury has awarded a former model on "The Price is Right" more than $7.7 million in punitive damages after determining the show discriminated against her because of her pregnancy.
The decision Wednesday came one day after the panel determined producers discriminated against Brandi Cochran. They awarded her nearly $777,000 in actual damages.
The show's producers, FremantleMedia North America and The Price is Right Productions, vow to appeal the verdict and say they expect to be vindicated.
Cochran said she was rejected by the game show's producers when she tried to return from maternity leave in 2010.
Producers said they were satisfied with the five models they had when the 41-year-old sought to return. Cochran says she is humbled by the award and hopes it raises issues of pregnancy discrimination in all workplaces.

text: By Tim LinscottManaging Editor It did not take the Perkins County School board long to discuss the issue. After a few minutes of talking over whether to play eight-man or 11-man football next year, the PCS school board unanimously agreed to declare at the Monday, Nov. 18 school board meeting that the Plainsmen will play eight-man football for the next two seasons. PCS head football coach and athletic director Carlie Wells explained to school board members that a letter was sent home giving information on both sides of the situation and a parent meeting was held Oct. 21 to discuss things with parents and patrons further. "No one really was against going to eight-man," Wells told school board members. Before the meeting, Wells said, there were a few parents who were willing to strongly argue for staying in 11-man football, but after the meeting were more open to going to eight-man. He felt it was a situation of their 'heart said 11-man but their head said eight-man.' Freshman, sophomores and juniors took an anonymous vote when checking in their football gear and by a tally of 13-5 the players were in favor of eight-man football. The trend to switch is becoming more evident in the region. Blue Hill and Dundy County are both switching to eight-man. Cambridge and North Platte St. Patrick's, however, will be staying in the 11-man ranks. According to the Nebraska Schools Activities Association (NSAA) a decision to declare if a school district wants to play eight-man, or opt up and play 11-man, must be made by Nov. 30 for scheduling purposes. Schedules are released Feb. 12, 2014 and the commitment to play eight-man is for two years. PCS has been a dominant team in 11-man football for years. The Plainsmen have won eight state titles, the last in 1990. PCS student population numbers in grades 9-11 are at the levels that the district could play eight-man football, however, the district could have optioned to stay at 11-man football. The cut-off point for staying at 11-man is 83 students and PCS has 81 students. Wells projects that for the next 10 years the district could be at the level of playing eight-man football. Teams in the area that play eight-man football include South Platte (30 miles), Paxton (30 miles), Sutherland (51 miles) and Creek Valley (61 miles). As far as the play of the game, Wells said there are not as many options and formations on the field but coaches could 'get as creative as they want to be.' On Tuesday morning, Wells was in the process of informing players of the change. "This should be a positive experience for our kids," Wells said. "This should be the best thing for the kids with our numbers right now."

Faber 15 Cubic Foot FX Series High Pressure Steel FX SeriesTank
Manufacturer Part Number FX15DV
Faber Cylinders are appreciated worldwide by those scuba divers who choose steel tanks for their aqua-lung.
Faber Cylinders for scuba diving are manufactured from steel plates to ensure light tanks with the right buoyancy.
1. The material (steel plate) is carefully selected depending on its eventual use conditions, after verifying the chemical, physical, mechanical characteristics.
2. The design of Faber cylinders uses not only specified calculation formulae but also linear finite element analysis. The calculated data are then verified experimentally using strain-gauge measurements.
3. The fracture mechanics analysis of the steel allows us to define the maximum permissible defects in the cylinders, in order to enable us:
- to establish the non-destructive tests during production
- to guarantee the product fatigue life
- to demonstrate that a leak precedes the hypothetical burst of the cylinder (LBB)
4. The cylinders' surface protection is considered to be a function of the various environmental conditions of use and of the various corrosion agents.
5. Faber's cylinders are manufactured according to a quality control program certified to ISO 9001 and ISO / TS 16949 (where applicable).
Design Tests and Analyses are performed for new design approvals of diving cylinders:
- On materials
- Mechanical tests: tensile, elongation, impact, toughness, ductility, stress-cracking
- Chemical analysis
- On prototype cylinders (check of safety performances)
- Hydraulic burst test
- Pressure cycling test
- Ductility and impact resistance test
- Environmental test
- Extreme temperatures monotonic and cycling tests
- Flawed cylinder burst test
Production tests
During production all the cylinders are subject to:
- Hardness test
- Ultrasonic inspection
- Hydraulic (proof and volumetric expansion) if required by the standard tests
- Leak test on spun cylinders
- Check of the critical dimensions and of the threads
- Check of the marking
- Check of the specified internal and external surface finish
- Flawed cylinders burst-test

There's a headline I never planned on writing … But in Brazil, there is some question as to whether or not a clown whos stage name means "grumpy" may not be literate, and the country's constitution requires one to be able to read in order serve in their Congress. I just wonder how well one has to read.
On the USA Today website, an AP story reports:
"Brazilians seem eager to put a clown in Congress, according to the polls. But the courts are taking a less jovial look at a new report that the comic doesn't meet a legal requirement that lawmakers be able to read and write.
"The Brazilian Constitution mandates that members of Congress must be literate, and prosecutors said Monday they want to force Tiririca — a name that means "grumpy" in colloquial Portuguese — to disprove the allegations. Otherwise, he could be tossed from office if he wins."

Gen Y
How Millennials Are Changing the Worlds of Media and eCommerce
By David Weir on September 20, 2011 9:00 AM
While demographers and marketing executives may argue over how to define generations, they agree about the impact that Generation Y -- no matter which set of age parameters you use -- is having on communications technology, ecommerce, and the media.
It's huge, as several recent reports document.
For example, a recent study from Barkley reports that Millennials aged 16-34:
- Watch much less TV than other Americans (26 percent v. 47 percent).
- But watch many more TV shows on laptops (42 percent v. 18 percent), and other devices.
- Are much more likely to be influenced by their friends about where to shop, etc. (70 percent v. 45 percent).
- Like to check out brands on social media sites more than older Americans (53 percent v. 36 percent).
- Like brands more if on social media sites (33 percent v. 17 percent).

Did they still give him a point on those years?
Not a total loss atleast!
With the draw odds and wait after drawing I think most of us will be lucky to draw 1 NV elk tag.
I'd like for 2015 to be the year I draw it.
Dang hardstalk, how have you drawn 3+ elk tags in NV? It seems like I will be lucky to draw one in my life. Lucky man.
P.s. No I cant give anyone a free pass on the ranch to kill a bull, the 10foot fences dont allow any on the ranch since last year. That was ndow's way of shutting us up about landowner tags for reimbursement on what they do (did) to the wheel lines on the fields. Come rutting time they thought they were scratching posts and punching bags!
As far as I know the only way you can draw multipal Nv bull elk tags is to draw Deperdation tags and one maybe two regular bull tags.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.

Public Philosophy, Failed Again
It was then explained to me that the US government allows-- even encourages-- the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens every year, and that this must be stopped. So I asked whether, in his view, it must be stopped by taking institutional measures designed to lower the number of unplanned pregnancies, and lower the cost (personal, financial, social, etc.) of single-parenthood, and so on. He declared that such measures "might be a part of the solution," but since "good people" shouldn't have to pay for the irresponsibility of others, the real aim was to criminalize abortion, to make the law reflect that abortion is equivalent to murder.
Then I said, "Interesting. Let's say that you're right, and let's say that you succeed in getting abortion criminalized. What should the law do about pregnant women who attempt (illegally) to get abortions?" Astoundingly, he replied, "they should go to jail, like any other murderer." I didn't raise the complication concerning the fact that we were considering a case in which no abortion had (yet) been performed, but instead replied, "So, if you're successful, we'd have a pretty large population of children born in prison. Who would pay the cost of raising, schooling, caring for them? Wouldn't it, again, be the 'good people'?"
"Hmmm..." he replied. Then he asked, "What's your line of work?" I said, "I'm a professor." Suspicious, he replied, "Professor of what?" I said (in keeping with my usual strategy), "Logic." His instantaneous, beautiful, reply: "I figured. Liberal."
The End.

Ah, your mistake is that you assume these babies must be cared for. Everyone knows that there is a huge moral difference between murdering innocent lil' babies and merely letting them die after forcibly removing them from the wombs of their incarcerated mothers. Duh!

Rest of the flight was pretty quiet. Just after he muttered "liberal," a flight attendant asked for a drink order. So there was a natural break-off point for the conversation.
- February 28, 2009 at 4:37 PM
Another case of someone using the term 'Liberal' as one of dismissal, but given the context of use, it should be loosely translated as having the capacity to see the consequences of one's actions (antonyms: right wing pigeon from outer space).

As soon as you say "let's say you're right," you are assuming (for the sake of argument) his presuppositions. One of these is that the fetus is a human being.
So if your question, "who would pay for them?" is only meant to set up the dilemma that one way or another "good people" will end up "paying for the irresponsibility of others," then I have no objection.
But if your question is intended to suggest that because of the high costs, it is better to terminate these pregnancies, then under the assumed premises, you are arguing that human beings who are too expensive to society ought to be (or maybe only "can justly be") terminated.
I realize that this suggestion is in no way logically implied by what you said, but in a casual conversation it could easily be verbally inferred. "Verbally inferred" is a poor term. I mean that although the logic of what you said does not imply it, many people would assume that's what you meant to suggest, and in fact you may have meant to suggest it.

In fact, we do incarcerate human beings who are too costly to society. It's called the prison system. In some countries, there is even a death penalty for those who incur exorbitant costs.

@j: I don't think Spiros introduced the morally tenuous point of the cost of care and who should pay, his rabidly anti-abortion flight neighbor did. If you have a problem with that line of reasoning you should be upset at the other guy.
It's perfectly fair game to use someones own appallingly faulty logic back against them. You should read the article again, nothing was verbally inferred.

We jail people not because they're too costly, but because they have violated someone else's rights. So we don't jail the cancer patient on Medicare, even though he costs society far more than the guy who knocked over a convenience store for $475.
So it looks to me like you're equivocating on "costly," then using your faulty argument to justify the idea of killing people who cost society too much.
I don't think Spiros introduced the morally tenuous point of the cost of care and who should pay, his rabidly anti-abortion flight neighbor did. If you have a problem with that line of reasoning you should be upset at the other guy.
I'm not upset with anybody. And though Spiros didn't introduce the point, he accepted the point when he agreed to assume the guy's premises for the sake of argument.
My point is only this: under the assumed premises, if Spiros meant to suggest that fetuses should be killed because they're costly (which he might not have meant to suggest), then he has made an immoral argument.
It's perfectly fair game to use someones own appallingly faulty logic back against them. You should read the article again, nothing was verbally inferred.
I perfectly agree. Spiros did a masterful job of pointing out the guy's inconsistency.
However, it is a curious fact of logic and the English language that often things which are not logically implied are still verbally inferred. For example, if I tell my kids, "If you don't eat your dinner, you won't get desert," I have in no way logically implied the statement, "If you do eat your dinner, you will get desert." But 10 out of 10 kids will infer the second statement from the first, and 9 out of 10 adults will mean the second statement when they make the first.
So Spiros may or may not have meant to suggest that fetuses should be terminated because they're expensive. My argument only applies if he did mean it.

I wish that were not true. I think conservative leaders have avoided the difficult task of explaining the issues and have instead broken them down into a faulty dichotomy. Then it's just a matter of asking the right questions.
- March 1, 2009 at 8:46 PM
Actually, I believe Spiro suggested that the cost to "good people" would be unavoidable, and that we could lessen the cost through more preventative measures, ie. adequate sex ed, subsidized birth control, and by lowering the cost of single parenthood.
He didn't necessarily suggest abortion, though he didn't rule it out.
The argument was that rather than criminalizing abortion (ie, a "supply side" argument) we might be more effective if we reduced demand.

Criminalize abortion? Sure, that "might be a part of the solution," as you interlocutor would put it. But we can't expect to solve this problem with such half measures. What we need is something more systematic.

It never ceases to amaze me how blinded liberals are to their own stupidity, while in the same voice they are criticizing this anti- abortionist whose response was not only consistent with the mutually agreed to supposition allowed by the liberal saying: "assuming you are successful in getting abortion criminalized to murder"
Also shows the incredibly short attention span they have forgetting what he just agreed to. See Below:
Here is where his attempt to confuse the argument gets exploited as nothing more than a poorly attempted straw man. The anti-abortion passenger saw right through it and did not skip a beat giving best common sense answer anyone with half a wit would have given.
For those liberals that still do not get it, why saying they should go to jail was the best answer to give, we re-examine the liberals question.
He says and I quote, "lets assume you are successful in getting abortion criminalized to Murder" then he asks, "what about attempted "Illegal abortions" ?
Well if it is murder, would there be any other kind?
Of course not
Why not you ask?
Because he just agreed, it would be murder!
So why then would you expect any other answer than the one the anti-abortion passenger gave?
All Murder is illegal and so is "attempted" murder and adding the word "illegal" in parenthesis would be redundant but liberals wordsmith the English language like this is something we have gotten used to so to summarize,,
Essentially, what the liberal is asking was this:
What should the law do to people who attempt to commit murder? If you are like most of us knowing attempted murder carries a jail sentence and have an average I.Q., you would have said the same thing the anti abortionist said:
Put them IN JAIL!
Therefore, if anyone has said anything stupid here, it was liberal and all the rest of him or her who were stupid enough to agree with his delusional self-aggrandizing idiocy.
As usual, they are oblivious to how stupid they look until one of us dumb republicans has to light a candle for them to see the sun.
If I were the owner of this blog, I would delete this entire conversation just to avoid embarrassment.

Do snow showers bring May flowers?
Londoners had to wonder Thursday after looking at the calendar and looking out the window. Snow flurries swirled through the British capital, failing to stick but giving residents the sense that winter temperatures would somehow never end.
Britain has just endured its coldest March in more 50 years -- and the trial is not over yet.
Richard Wilford, head of hardy plants at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is among the many wishing for warmth. He says the consistency of the cold -- London hasn't had a warm spell since Christmas -- is worrisome. Although some of the tougher plants are flowering now, many will just abort once they open, he said.
In other words, spring will come -- but it might be short.

Anne Lamott Featured Author of Belgrade's February Book Club Selection
Plan B: Further thoughts on faith by Anne Lamott will be the topic of discussion at the next meeting of the R.E.A.D. Book Club on Friday evening, Feb. 17 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Belgrade Public Library - Myrtle Mabee Library.
Few people can write about faith, parenting, and relationships as can the talented, irreverent Anne Lamott. The essence of her faith she finds in the ability to open her heart in the midst of confusion and hopelessness. Faith is not about how we feel, she claims, it is about how we live.
Anne Lamott is the author of Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on faith, Traveling Mercies: Some thoughts on faith, and Operating Instructions: A journal of my son's first year, as well as seven novels, including Rosie and Crooked Little Heart. Soon to be released is Some Assembly Required: A journal of my son's first son, the true story of how the birth of a baby changes the family.
We welcome new members to the R.E.A.D. Book Club which meets the third Friday of the month from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Refreshments are provided. For more information call the library at 320.254.8842.

Beneficial companions
A diversified garden uses a variety of plant odors, colors, and textures as natural pest barrier. Cabbage moths are confused when the scent of broccoli and cabbage are masked by onions and carrots growing next door.
Companion planting is a way to encourage your plants to thrive by strategically placing certain plants near each other.
It benefits your garden in several ways: by attracting beneficial insects and bug-eating birds as well as providing nutrients and protecting against disease. A bonus for you and your family: some companion plants also deter pest insects, according to the North Carolina State University Cooperative Extension. Garlic can be a good companion plant because it deters a variety of pests, including mosquitoes. Try planting it with beets, eggplants, tomatoes, peppers and broccoli. Basil helps neighboring plants such as lettuce, peppers and tomatoes thrive, and also repels mosquitoes.
You can grow companion plants as a border around other plants, mixed within rows or interspersed throughout a bed.

Does anyone have experience with this?
I think it could be done with minimal expense. There's some nice, small video cameras to be had to around $120 or so...
Any suggestions on cameras and gear?

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Eastern Conference-leading Boston Bruins will open a
three-game homestand against one of the best teams from the West, as they
welcome the St. Louis Blues for Thursday's showdown at TD Garden.
The Bruins are pacing the East with 29 points, a total that would rank them
ninth in the Western Conference where the Blues are in a four-way tie for
third with 31 points.
Boston, which is holding a one-point lead over Tampa Bay for first place in
the Atlantic Division, has been scorching hot of late, winning six of their
last seven games. Prior to the recent hot streak, the Bruins had lost four of
five games during a 1-3-1 stretch from late October to early November.
The Bruins recently wrapped a three-game road trip 2-1-0 by taking the final
two tilts of the swing in Carolina and New York.
After recording a 4-1 win Monday at Carolina, the Bruins earned a 2-1
regulation victory the following night against the New York Rangers. Tuukka
Rask stopped 43 shots to frustrate the Rangers, while Daniel Paille and Shawn
Thornton each scored to help the Bruins pick up two points at Madison Square
"We had a tough stretch before these wins and we said that we wanted to do
better in our own zone," said Rask. "We've kept it pretty simple and it's paid
Boston is set to play three straight on home ice, where it has compiled an
8-3-1 record this season. The B's will host a rematch against Carolina on
Saturday before completing the stay at TD Garden with Monday's matchup against
The Bruins could be without Dennis Seidenberg tonight after the defenseman
suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's win over the Rangers. Fellow
defenseman Adam McQuaid also has missed the last five games with a strained
right hip and he's expected to sit out another tilt on Thursday.
St. Louis has won three of its past four games and is coming off a 4-1 win in
Buffalo on Tuesday. The Blues allowed the Sabres to score just 10 seconds into
the game, but used a pair of goals from Brenden Morrow and 23 saves from
Jaroslav Halak to eventually defeat Buffalo.
Vladimir Tarasenko and Magnus Paajarvi also scored and Chris Stewart added a
pair of assists for the Blues, winners in six of their last eight games.
"They scored a quick one there, 10 seconds in and it kind of caught us by
surprise," Stewart said. "We answered back quick there and set the tempo for
the game."
The Blues got back on track Tuesday after beginning a three-game road trip
with a 4-1 setback Sunday in Washington. All told, St. Louis is 5-2-1 as the
visiting team this season.
Halak expects to get the start again tonight and is 6-3-0 with a 1.86 goals
against average in nine career outings against Boston.
Boston has earned at least a point against the Blues in five straight
meetings, going 3-0-2 during that stretch. However, St. Louis has claimed five
consecutive encounters in Boston and hasn't lost in Beantown since a 5-1
setback on Jan. 30, 2001.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Only on 9 tonight, what may well be the most outrageous DC parking tickets we have ever seen.
A Maryland couple was slapped with two tickets for cars they have never owned but their odyssey with DC's DMV doesn't stop there. Andrea McCarren shares their story.
John and Linda Kalbaugh both work full-time, but they have spent countless hours fighting these tickets. They have made phone calls, sent registered letters, and faxed information to DC's DMV every week, for the last three years.
"It's just ridiculous. It really is," says John Kalbaugh.
John and Linda Kalbaugh have had it with DC's Department of Motor Vehicles. But that did not keep DC from ticketing them twice-for vehicles that are not theirs.
"We've never owned a UPS truck. Or a Nissan," they said. "I just laughed at 'em. It clearly says UPS on the one. The other one says Nissan."
What makes this case so unusual is that the Kalbaughs don't even live in DC or anywhere close. They live here in Cumberland, Maryland, about 150 miles away.
John said, "I don't go there. I don't have to go there. And now, I'll never go there."
The first ticket--a parking violation for a UPS truck-came in the mail. The tag-the very same license plate they had turned into the Cumberland MVA office a year earlier.
"We've done everything that we can. Except pay the tickets. And we're not going to do that. We're not going to do that," said Linda.
The second ticket was for the tag that used to be on this Chevy pickup, now parked permanently on their property.
"I wouldn't even attempt to take it to DC."
It was a ticket for a Nissan bearing the same license plate the Kalbaughs turned into the Cumberland MVA months earlier.
"We will not, we will not pay this. There's no way it should have been issued, let alone go to the collection agency," said Linda.
In fact, their refusal to pay tickets they never deserved has tainted an otherwise spotless credit history.
The Kalbaughs were -rejected- when they tried to refinance Linda's car. And John, a commercial truck driver, can't drive through DC even if he wanted to.
According to this DMV document, if you have two or more unpaid tickets in the District, your license can be suspended, your vehicle impounded.
Maryland's Motor Vehicle Administration has twice written to DC's DMV to defend the Kalbaughs.
Linda reads the note, "These tags have not been re-issued to another customer nor were they reproduced by the state of MD."
Remarkably, that didn't help. So today, the Kalbaughs remain haunted by two dead tags that have come back to life and left them wondering how?
Remarkably, DC's DMV says it has no record that the Kalbaughs ever tried to fight these tickets, so there's no apology, no effort to fix their ruined credit history.
The agency has asked the Kallbaughs to send the information again. Meantime, Maryland's MVA is also investigating.

Here's a non-technical question for you.
I looked a Zimbra about a year ago.. the Comcast thing got my attention. But I was leary of committing with the shadow of a Microsoft takeover in the picture. If they owned Zimbra one would expect them to try to kill or at least starve it, since it competes with one of their flagship products.
But now we have an MS/Yahoo deal that doesn't seem to involve changes of control or ownership of IP. This reassures me to some degree.
Is my new comfort level misplaced ?

I do not live in the area. I am from close by and have family that live there. I've asked why the environment hasn't improved with the shale business growing and, from what I hear on the news, economic windfall in the area. The problem is that out of state workers are employed in these new high paying opportunities. They don't pay into the local economy tax base. They don't own property locally. They don't send their children to the local schools. So the people living in the area still can't afford more of anything. If more of a successfull push or mandate to hire local workers was in place, perhaps the economy would really recover, instead of just looking good on paper.

Hey guys,
I have created a firstname.lastname@example.com user for a department which is trying to curb direct contact. I only created it as a user because I thought I may need to in order to set the signature (not sure this is true).
I would like to do the following 3 things via CLI (I've figured out 1 and 2):
1) Add the no-reply user as an alias to account
2) Add the no-reply user as a persona to a user's accountCode:Zmprov ma email@example.com +zimbraAllowFromAddress email@example.com
3) Create a signature for the persona and set it as the default for that persona???Code:Zmprov cid email@example.com "No Reply" zimbraPrefFromAddress email@example.com zimbraPrefFromDisplay "No Reply" zimbraPrefIdentityName "No Reply"
I know I can create a signature for an account with something like:How would you create a signature and set it as the default signature for a specific persona via CLI? I'd like to be able to do this without having to login as the user I'm adding the persona to.Code:zmprov csig email@example.com no-reply-sig zimbraPrefMailSignatureHTML "This is a signature."
