The news that the M6 toll is a dismal failure ( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/7971689/Toll-relief-road-has-failed-report-claims.html ) will come as no surprise to those who have any brain or understanding of how people spend money. There is a simple proposition here. If you want to sell something, it has to be at a price people are willing to pay. The lack of economic understanding evinced by the pricing policy of the operators is reminiscent of both the world of "Atlas Shrugged" and the market traders of post-communist Russia. The thinking goes "Because I cannot get enough people to buy my product to satisfy my wants, I will raise the price" This is a guaranteed path of certifiable craziness and, ultimately, bankruptcy.
The M6 toll road was, and remains, a great idea. However it now costs £5 to make a single journey on it when you can simply stay on the original M6 for nothing.… Read more

Hopefully this works, trying to figure out how to add a picture in here.
Had a really nice deer hunt to Wyoming this past Fall. Went on a couple scouting trips in July and Labor day and was really happy with what I saw in terms of deer and quality of bucks. Ended up going up a week after the opener due to an antelope hunt. Worked out good cause most of the people were gone and we had the place pretty much to ourselves. The first morning out I shot the buck on the left, he was with 5 others and there were six other buck 400 yards up the hill from them. My Nephew shot the buck on the right that evening. I saw this buck that my Nephew shot on the Labor Day trip in the exact same place. Couldn't believe he was still there after a week into the hunt. Both are 28" wide. Loaded the horses the next morning and came home.

I am experiencing some strange behaviour after upgrading from the 3.2 to the 4.0 Network versions. I have a backend set up where php sends SOAP requests to the zimbra server. In 3.2 this worked with no problems at all. After upgrading to version 4.0, it seems every 7th request is not received (or is ignored by the Zimbra Server) and is generating "curl_exec error 7 couldn't connect to host" errors. If I retry, it goes through without a problem for another 7 tries before hitting the same error.
I believe this must be a Zimbra issue since it was working fine in the previous version and this only started with the upgrade. Is there some throttling mechanism in place with the new version that could be causing this?

Office of Historic Preservation
Phone: (210) 215-9274
Landmarks are resources that have been officially recognized by the City of San Antonio for their outstanding historical, cultural, architectural, or archaeological significance. There are currently over 2000 designated landmarks in the city. In the past, landmark designation identified Historic Exceptional (HE) and Historic Significant (HS) Landmarks. Recent amendments to the City's Unified Development Code (UDC) include the consolidation of the two landmark designations into one Historic Landmark (HL) designation. Those resources previously designated as historic landmarks prior to the UDC Amendments of June 24, 2010, will continue to bear the words "historic, exceptional" (HE) or "historic, significant" (HS) in their zoning designation.
Landmark designation protects the unique character of the City's historic resources. Landmark designation does not affect the use of a property. Land use is regulated by Zoning. Designation does, however, affect the aesthetics of any exterior changes made to landmarks or properties within local historic districts through implementation of a design review process. Additionally, all landmarked properties cannot be demolished without approval from the Historic and Design Review Commission (HDRC). Find out more about the advantages of historic designation.
Landmark eligibility is determined by the sixteen (16) criteria for evaluation as specified in the Unified Development Code. These criteria are based on the four National Register criteria for eligibility including a property's association with significant events, association with significant people, architectural significance, or ability to convey information about history or prehistory (archaeological sites). Properties recommended eligible for landmark designation must meet at least three (3) of the criteria. See the links below for the full list of landmark eligibility criteria and the lists of designated local landmarks (sorted by name or by street address).

It's taking the lives of more women each year than breast and colon cancer combined. The Helen & Harry Gray Cancer Center is leading the Connecticut and Western Massachusetts region in advancing research, screening and treatment for lung cancer. With five-year survival rates now topping 75% for Stage 1 lung cancer patients, breakthrough treatments are continually raising hope and improving outcomes.
We are a major referral center for patients with lung cancer, esophageal cancer and other chest tumors. Our team of specialists gathers weekly to determine on the most effective cancer treatments for individual thoracic cancer patients. With the wide perspective of experts from Thoracic Surgery, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Pulmonary Medicine, Pathology, Radiology and any other department required, patients get the most advanced cancer treatment possible.
Pathology experts profile the tumor with genetic testing, identifying mutations that guide medical oncology specialists to the most effective chemotherapy agents. Radiology specialists add perspective on diagnostic imaging results and radiation oncologists help the team determine treatments required. Oncology nurses provide patient care and education. Patients are connected with support groups, nutritional counseling, social services and spiritual care, and offered integrative therapies like Reiki. The result: the most effective cancer treatment, and the best patient well being.
We're pioneering advanced medical technology like bracheatherapy to place radiation seeds directly into tumors, and ultrasound-guided EBUS technology to sample lymph nodes without traditional medial stinoscopy surgery. Now we can treat some tumors in just five days using specialized high-dose stereotactic radiation, and we've just introduced a new internal superdimension navigation system to locate and biopsy lung tumors that are otherwise unreachable. As innovators in techniques like robotic and video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), our patients are recovering faster with smaller incisions. Needle biopsies were developed and perfected at Hartford Hospital, where we're stepping up lung cancer prevention with new low-dose CT scan screening.

Clayton, MO (KSDK) - The trigger man in the shooting of a Florissant police officer will be in court for his arraignment this afternoon.
Brian Cannon, 20, is charged with assault of the officer, burglary, and two counts of armed criminal action.
The St. Louis County grand jury indicted the Walnut Park man last week.
On May 28th, Cannon was reported to be hiding inside a trash container behind a strip mall in the 2800 block of North Hwy 67, also known as Lindbergh Boulevard, after police say he broke into a nearby home.
When Officer Mike Vernon was on patrol, he took note of some suspicious activity behind the businesses and as he got out of his patrol car to investigate, Cannon opened fire.
Officer Vernon was shot three times according to court records with one of the bullets lodging in his spine and another piercing a lung.
Cannon was already on probation at the time of the officer's shooting, for an unrelated burglary conviction. Cannon remains in jail awaiting Wednesday's arraignment.

Varied opinions:
I really, really like mine, and I have used it for years.
Just received my Havalon knife for my subscription. Are these good knives? What do you think about them for deer and elk? I would think for skinning they would be great.
Varied opinions:
I really, really like mine, and I have used it for years.
I don't have any experience with elk but for deer I love my Havalon. I have used mine to field dress, skin, quarter and cape. Just be careful around the joints. If you put too much pressure on the blade it can snap!
I used mine for the first time last week on my elk. One thing I will say is the blade can pop off if you get a little rough with it. I had that happen once and it could have turned out bad. Those things are extremely sharp and if you loose a blade and get your hand the cut will be deep. They are great knives though and the blades are easy to replace.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Shoot the best, Shoot PSE!
Used mine on 2 elk and 1 deer so far. I love it. I am going to buy the longer bladed one next week.
i have used them to skin and bone a few bulls now and i love them. There are other knives that are more durable but these are very, sharp. They will break if you're not careful around bones. Usually takes me anywhere from 3-5 blades to completely skin and de-bone a bull. I love them because they are light for backpacking.
Team Backcountry
Dangerous Junk!
You can buy 3 or 4 Cold Steel Finnbears or Mora knives for the same money. The biggest difference is that the Cold Steel and Mora knives won't break apart and cut you to smithereens in the back country.
For $100 you can buy a Spyderco or CRKT with a ATS-34 blade that will do damn near a whole elk.
For $500 you can buy a Diamond blade knife that will do 10 elk without being sharpened again.
I used to have a love affair with razor bladed swap handle knives at work. I figured out it's easier to sharpen a good knife than get stitches over a crappy one.
Havalon's are awesome! I've used mine on antelope, deer, and elk.
I don't care for mine. To flimsy and the blade can snap off. I've heard the bigger blade works better.
I've had my havalon for about 5 seasons now and have used it for about 12-15 animals. It is perfect in the field if you use it for skinning and getting rid of the belly. Be careful around bones because as everyone else has said, they will snap if you twist it the wrong way. The new longer one looks like it will break easier, although I have never used it . I pack band aids with mine because you will cut yourself eventually. If you concerned about weight, this is the knife. Buy it in orange so you dont lose it.

WHEELING - The depth of Linsly's swimming team propelled its boys to a pair of victories Monday evening while playing host to St. Clairsville and Weir during a double dual meet at Stifel Pool.
Meanwhile, St. Clairsville swept through to capture the girls' top spot.
Linsly coach Bill Brubaker said while a three-point loss to St. Clairsville on the girls' side (86-83) was a little tough, he was happy with the overall performance of his team.
Article Photos
Linsly's Zach Hamm competes in the 100-yard butterfly, where he placed first in a meet featuring the Cadets, St. Clairsville, and Weir at Stifel Pool on Linsly's campus.
The Red Devils' Carly Falcone finishes second in the 100 breastroke.
"It was a good close meet,'' he said. ''The kids swam well. We worked really hard over Christmas break. I know our swimmers and some other swimmers were doing two-a-days for the last two weeks, with the idea that they're going to rest off of that work into the later part of the season with the championships coming up."
Linsly had five swimmers win both of their individual events. Zach Hamm won the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 57.72, while posting a time of 1:03.19 in the backstroke.
Reese Boyd won the 200 IM with a time of 2:12.85 and the 500-yard freestyle at 5:19.57. Cameron Thompson posted winning times of 1:56.00 in the 200 freestyle and 53.95 in the 100 freestyle. Zoe Scarpone won the 100 yard butterfly with a time of 1:05.41, while clocking in at 2:22.70 in the 200-yard IM, while Eve Scarpone won the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:15.96, and claimed first in the breaststroke with a time of 1:19.63.
St. Clairsville coach Melanie Eaton, whose son Michael won both of his individual events for the Red Devils, said she was very happy with the team's overall performance.
"We're more evenly matched in numbers on the girls' side than the boys' side. Linsly just has so many more boys than we have," Eaton said.
"We're coming off of Christmas training working pretty hard, so nobody had any best times."
Michael Eaton won the 50 yard freestyle with a time of 23:42, while clocking in at 1:02.10 in the 100 breaststroke

Spring Training Moves…
Up here in Kansas City, things (aka home opener planning) are moving at full speed as we inch closer to April 8 and the Yankees. But, as fast as we are chugging along in the front office, down in Surprise, Ariz., on Wednesday, things (aka setting the roster) seem to be moving at an even faster pace…
With the deadline to have the regular-season roster set by Sunday, the Royals made some moves Wednesday that lowered their in-camp roster to 38. Here's a brief rundown of the news from Surprise:
- Acquired right-handed pitcher Ramon Ramirez from the Colorado Rockies for a player to be named.
- Designated lefty Jorge De La Rosa for assignment to make room for Ramirez.
- Traded first baseman/outfielder Justin Huber to San Diego for a player to be named later.
- Optioned pitcher Kyle Davies to AAA.
- Reassigned pitchers Roman Colon and Chin-Hui Tsao to minor league camp.
- Reassigned catcher Ken Huckaby to minor league camp (Tuesday night, actually)
Opening Series Pitching Probables: The club also officially announced the probables for the opening series with Detroit:
- Monday, March 31 – Gil Meche vs. Justin Verlander
- Wednesday, April 2 – Brian Bannister vs. Kenny Rogers
- Thursday, April 3 – Zack Greinke vs. Jeremy Bonderman.
Royals Charities News: One last note before closing out Wednesday…we wanted to send our congrats to local Truman High School in Independence, Mo., which defeated William Chrisman High School Tuesday, 13-2 (5 innings), all on a new baseball field.
Here's the whole story for you: two years ago, Truman H.S. won an area contest sponsored by 610 Sports that helped them fund a new field. Once being named the contest winners, the high school turned to Activity Director Eric Holm, who worked tirelessly to put all the pieces of the puzzle into place by securing sponsors and collecting $10,000 from Royals Charities. Meanwhile, the team played all its games on the road…until Tuesday, of course. Congrats again, Truman High School, and good luck this season!
1 Comment
I like the pitching matchups for the Detroit series. Too bad fans in Oklahoma and Arkansas won't be able to watch them on TV because David Glass thinks those states are their "home markets" even though the Royals don't have a network there. All games are blacked out. Why, Royals, won't you at least acknowledge this horrible tragedy? Why do you hate the fans?

Things to see and do - Syria
Leaving for Syria

Syria Travel guide
Syria : Michelin's recommendations
Cradle of the history of humanity, Syria is home to numerous vestiges of ancient Eastern art, as well as Greco-Roman, Byzantine and Islamic architecture, which by turns transport visitors from one era to another, at times in surprising ways. Today the country is shaken by the wave of protests and revolutions that started in Tunisia and spread to the Near and Middle East. It is impossible to say when the situation will be sufficiently peaceful for travellers to be able to appreciate the riches of this land once again.
Ancient cities (Latakia, Jableh) are dotted along the 183km of coastline, which is dedicated to olives, oranges and vegetable crops.
Encircled by walls, Old Damascus has preserved the capital''s Eastern image. The city stands on the site of the lost paradise and today continues to enchant visitors thanks to its gardens, walls, lively souks, mosques and caravanserais, not far from the hammams that are still in operation. As you wander around, all your senses come to life, roused by the scents of the spices in Souk Bzouriyeh, the coloured fabrics in Souk Hamidiyé and the call to prayer of the muezzins at Umayyad Mosque.
Southeast of Damascus, the volcanic regions of Hauran and Jebel Druze stretch to the Jordanian border, boasting a string of ancient cities against a backdrop of black basalt used in erecting the buildings. Another specificity of this fertile region: its mainly Druze population is distinguished by its blond hair and light-coloured eyes, the women don't wear veils and the men wear a sarouel, a black jacket and a white turban around their head.
No introduction to Syria would be complete without mention of Tadmor, the ancient city of Palmyra, steeped in legend; Krak des Chevaliers, an exceptional castle built by the Crusaders; and Aleppo, where the city''s famous soap is sold in the Middle East''s most authentic souk, not far from the impressive Citadel.

California Hot Rod Reunion Trucks - Hot Rod History ReturnsWritten on December 4, 2006 Getting There is Half the Fun of Hauling a Digger Behind an Ol' 1/2-Ton!
The Wally Parks/NHRA Motor-sports Museum's most prestigious event is the California Hot Rod Reunion, sponsored by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Held in October at Kern County's historic Old Famoso/Bakersfield Raceway, the event annually draws the finest vintage drag race machines and vintage racing talent from all across the nation.
Recently referred to by the media as a "one-of-a-kind American car lover's dream," seasoned CHRR insiders irreverently refer to the California Hot Rod Reunion as the annual Gathering of the Geezers!
Regardless of what this annual tribute to drag racing's glorious bygone days is called, the California Hot Rod Reunion is drag racing history in motion, with nostalgic drag racing action trackside and famous racecars and drag racing personalities pitside!
This year saw the 14th edition of the event. It began the morning of September 30, 2005, when CHRR-XIV quietly rolled into the sleepy truck-stop town of Bakersfield. However, as the pits began to fill early Friday morning, the event generated momentum. By Saturday, the sleepy attitude that usually typifies Old Famoso in October quickly evolved into a full-blown and frenzied hot rod happening!
Highlights from the Hot Rod Reunion included three days of the best in NHRA-sanctioned nostalgia drag racing, including Nostalgia Top Fuel, Nostalgia Junior Fuel, and Blown Nostalgia Gassers, with the finals culminating Sunday afternoon, October 2. Also, Famed drag racer/tuner/innovator "AA" Dale Armstrong was selected as CHRR XIV's Grand Marshall, along with honorees Leon "Pure Heaven" Fitzgerald, Chrysler star "Dandy Dick" Landy, NHRA's first female national event winner Shirley "Dragon Lady" Shahan, Safety Equipment pioneer Bill Simpson, chassis-builder Dave Uyehara, and former San Fernando Drag Strip publicist Dave Wallace Sr.
A racer's night held Friday, September 30, at Bakersfield's nearby Doubletree was the place where CHRR's honorees were officially introduced. The social bench racing, which usually includes igniting two Top Fuelers under the hotel's front foyer, lasted into the wee a.m. hours.
Saturday evening's highly touted Cacklefest had a total of 46 nitro burners lighting 'em up in front of a full-capacity crowd.
CHRR IV was also the site of the Leslie Lovett Memorial Photo Contest, where veteran drag racing photographers exhibit their photographic masterpieces from drag racing's illustrious bygone era. And, of course, there was plenty of drag racing throughout the entire weekend.
But you can't race if you can't get to the track, and no CHRR event would be complete without a huge sampling of vintage race-car haulers and street rod trucks. Here's a sample of the vintage trucks that worked and played during the weekend that saw hot rod history return to Old Famoso.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The Wally Parks/NHRA Motor-sports Museum's Safety Safari trailer and a '54 Dodge station wagon tow vehicle served as the centerpiece for an area known as Reunion Central. This huge tent area was the meeting place for the barbecue, photo contest, goody bag pickup, and Sunday morning church service.A black primer '34 Ford roadster pickup greeted us outside the reunion tent area. The truck featured a full-house '48 Merc flathead, '48 Mercury pie-pan wheels, hubcaps, and "Woodlights."The black satin, Halibrand-equipped '32 Ford pickup and '29 A roadster pickup/race car combination was another of the attractions we found in the pits at Old Famoso on Saturday.This two-tone gray and maroon '38 Ford COE featured a late-model Ford truck chassis, Ford F-1 rear fenders, and custom truck bed. It was a real looker.We saw this big-block-powered '64 Ford F-100 known as the Lead Sled. It competed in the Exhibition III class. The truck is sponsored by Bakersfield's P&P Customs.
Taft, CA's Troy Stacey rolled up in his 400ci blown Chevrolet-powered, Viper Red '51 Ford F-1. Believe us, this rig can light the tires at 70-plus mph on the freeway. Incredibly, we've seen it!Although this '54 3100-Series Chevrolet 1/2-ton appears stock, it featured a later-model small-block Chevrolet V-8 underneath the hood and a vintage Powell motorcycle in the pickup bed. Very cool.Another regular at the CHRR events is this orange and white scalloped '32 highboy pickup from the Imperial Valley.We found this ultra-slammed '54 Studebaker down in the pit area alongside the finish-line grandstands. The truck featured many '50s custom treatments, along with airbag suspension and a built small-block.
This vintage '32 Ford pickup and '34 Ford sedan delivery were just two of the hot rod haulers we found pitside on Saturday.As is customary, the Automobile Club of Southern California rolled out its immaculate '35 Ford 2-ton wrecker, powered by a late-model Ford engine.Roadster pickups were all the rage at CHRR IV. One of our favs was this yellow '30 A-Bone with Halibrand wheels.Mooneyes always has an interesting display. This year the company's '58 Ford F-100 was joined by the Mallicoat Brothers' former record-holding Willys BB/GS, which has recently been rediscovered.
There appeared to be lots of vintage haulers for sale at Famoso, some with a racing history and some without.Radoumis and Moore's chopped-top, blown big-block '41 Willys pickup is another one of the CHRR regulars making the scene at Bakersfield 2005.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -
ARKANSAS STATE: Arkansas State (8-3, 6-1 Sun Belt) was off this week, and it
will take on Middle Tennessee this Saturday with the conference championship
on the line.
FIU: The Panthers fought hard against the bowl-bound ULM Warhawks, even
forcing overtime in the final minute of regulation on a 58-yard touchdown pass
from E.J. Hilliard to Willis Wright, but they ultimately fell in the extra
session, 23-17. Hilliard was impressive under center, completing 22-of-31
passes for 226 yards and a pair of scores. Wayne Times was busy in the
receiving game, hauling in a career-high 11 receptions for 63 yards. The
defensive effort was spectacular, holding the high-powered Warhawks to just
235 yards of offense while sacking Kolton Browning four times. FIU (3-9, 2-6
Sun Belt) will be shut out of bowl season.
FLORIDA ATLANTIC: The Owls (3-8, 2-5 Sun Belt) did not play this week, and
they will wrap up their season at home this Saturday against Louisiana.
LOUISIANA: In their home finale, Louisiana made easy work of South Alabama,
winning 52-30, amassing 538 yards of total offense in the process. Terrance
Broadway completed just 11-of-19 pass attempts, but those completions resulted
in several big plays as he finished with 305 yards and two touchdowns. Javone
Lawson (three receptions, 113 yards) and Harry Peoples (five receptions, 166
yards) both had huge days and each caught a touchdown pass, as did Jacob
Maxwell (two receptions, 19 yards). Broadway also added 65 yards rushing and a
score on the ground, while Effrem Reed (81 yards, two TDs) also had an
effective afternoon rushing the ball. Louisiana (7-4, 5-2 Sun Belt) plays
Florida Atlantic this week before playing in a bowl game.
MIDDLE TENNESSEE: The Blue Raiders were able to keep their hopes of a Sun Belt
Conference championship alive as they escaped with a 24-21 victory over Troy.
The defense was the difference maker, as the unit forced five Trojan
turnovers, including a Kevin Byard interception in the fourth quarter, which
he returned 77 yards for the game-winning touchdown. It was Byard's second
pick of the day. Jordan Parker crossed the century mark on the ground for the
third straight week, racking up 141 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. Logan
Kilgore completed 18-of-36 passes for 176 yards. Middle Tennessee (8-3, 6-1
Sun Belt) will take on Arkansas State on Saturday in a showdown of first place
teams, with the winner coming away with the conference crown.
NORTH TEXAS: Up two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, the Mean Green appeared
to be on their way to a win in their season finale, but Western Kentucky
scored 15 unanswered points as they fell, 25-24. Derek Thompson completed 18-
of-25 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown, but he also threw two
interceptions, one of which went the other way for a touchdown in the fourth
quarter. Brandin Byrd (102 yards) and Jeremy Brown (64 yards) were both
effective on the ground, with each plunging into the end zone. Darnell Smith
tallied five receptions for 49 yards and a score. North Texas (4-8, 3-5 Sun
Belt) will not be going to a bowl game.
SOUTH ALABAMA: The Jaguars put forth one of their best offensive efforts of
the season in the finale against Louisiana, but the defense let them down as
they ultimately fell to the Ragin' Cajuns, 52-30. Ross Metheny had a career-
day, completing 27-of-44 passes for a school-record 360 yards and two
touchdowns. Eight different players caught a pass in the game, paced by Wes
Saxton with seven receptions for 83 yards. The defense allowed Louisiana to
generate 538 yards of total offense in the rout. South Alabama (2-10, 1-7)
will finish the 2012 season and its two-year transition to the FBS this
Saturday at Hawaii.
TROY: The Trojans appeared to be in a favorable position to win their season
finale at Middle Tennessee, but Deon Anthony threw a fourth-quarter
interception that was returned 77 yards for the go-ahead touchdown as they
fell to the Blue Raiders, 24-21. It was one of five turnovers on the afternoon
for the visiting team. Corey Robinson (22-of-36, 183 yards, TD, INT) and
Anthony (9-of-12, 98 yards, TD, INT) both saw action under center with
middling results, and Anthony also rushed for a touchdown. Shawn Southward
gained 116 yards, giving him 1,012 rushing yards on the season, and he also
finished with a team-high five receptions for 54 yards. Troy (5-7, 3-5 Sun
Belt) had its bowl aspirations dashed with the heartbreaking defeat.
ULM: It was an offensive struggle for the Warhawks, who gained just 235 total
yards, and they nearly blew the game when they allowed a long touchdown pass
in the final minute of regulation to force overtime, but Kolton Browning
connected on a 15-yard touchdown pass to Brent Leonard in the extra session as
they prevailed, 23-17. Browning finished by completing 31-of-38 passes for 218
yards with the touchdown, and while he had just two yards rushing, he also
added a score on the ground. Leonard was fantastic, grabbing 13 receptions for
98 yards, including the game-winner. The ULM (8-4, 6-2 Sun Belt) defense
stepped up its play, forcing two turnovers and sacking FIU quarterback E.J.
Hilliard six times. The win put ULM in good shape to earn its first-ever bowl
WESTERN KENTUCKY: The Hilltoppers were able to snap a three-game losing streak
with a come-from-behind win over North Texas, scoring 15 unanswered points in
the fourth quarter to claim the 25-24 victory. Antonio Andrews had another
outstanding afternoon, rushing for 230 yards and a touchdown -- his third game
this season with at least 200 yards rushing. He finished the day with 323 all-
purpose yards, leaving him 274 yards from breaking Barry Sanders' single-
season NCAA record of 3,250, and WKU (7-5, 4-4 Sun Belt) hopes that Andrews
will have one more chance at breaking it in a bowl game. Kawaun Jakes
completed just 14-of-29 yards for 173 yards, with a touchdown and an
interception against the Mean Green. The defense got into the scoring act in
the fourth quarter when Jonathan Dowling returned an interception 39 yards for
a touchdown.

This was the first border punch I bought. It is easy to use and adds a beautiful flair to any project. I just wish there was a corner punch for this so it could be an around the page punch.
This punch is very easy to use and very cute. I have been using this punch in many projects. Very good product!
LOVE this edge punch, it's easy to use and the sides fold up for easy storage. Great look on my cards!

June 25–27, 2013 | Cambridge, UK
Registration now closed.
The focus of this workshop is on formal language specification frameworks and how they scale up when applied to larger languages. The workshop provides a forum for discussing practical and theoretical issues, and aims to promote dissemination and collaboration between the developers and users of language specification frameworks.
Many hundreds of programming languages have been designed and implemented, and dozens are currently in widespread use. Older languages evolve to incorporate new features, and new programming languages are continually being developed – especially domain-specific languages, designed for use in a particular sector.
Each language needs to be precisely specified. A specification of a major language usually consists of a succinct formal grammar, determining its syntax, together with a lengthy informal explanation of its intended semantics. Unfortunately, such informal explanations are inherently imprecise, open to misinterpretation, and not amenable to validation. In the few cases where the semantics of major languages have been specified formally, the required effort appears to have been huge, which has discouraged wider adoption of formal semantics.
The workshop gathers together leading researchers working on the development and specification of programming and domain-specific languages. One of the objectives is to clarify which features of the various specification frameworks affect scaling up to major languages. A further objective is to raise awareness of current developments of practical relevance, including tool support for language specification, prototyping, and verification.
The invited speakers will present features and applications of particular specification frameworks. The workshop programme will also include presentations of submitted papers, time for informal discussions, and a poster display.
Invited speakers
- Egon Börger: The ASM approach for modular design and verification of programming features

With my first son i was induced and after pushing for 3 hrs was taken in for a c-section. I later learned if i was able to move during labor or pushed in a different position other than flat on my back he would have been born vaginally. I felt like i wasn't a mom he didn't come the way he was supposed to. I started doing research from that day on VBAC's, midwives and homebirth. I got pregnant a second time and figured a different dr and hospital would bring about a different outcome. Boy was i right. I begged my dr until the day he scheduled the repeat c-section to allow me to have a VBAC. No such luck and boy did my son and i pay for that. He was delivered at 37 1/2 weeks and asperated blood. He was taken to a different hospital because they had a beter NICU. I had seen him for 5 min the day he was born. My poor husband was going between 2 hospitals to see our son and come back and stay with me. It was horrific to hear mom's with their babies while mine was taken from me. He spent 10 days on a ventilator had 6 different chest tubes and spent 3 weeks in the NICU. I didnt get to hold him till he was 2 weeks old. Didn't get to nurse him until he was almost 3 weeks. He never nursed because he was used to being forced fed. I had the worst baby blues for months after that . I never got to really bond with him. I was to worried about wether he would make it home to just fall in love with him. When my husband and i decided to try for a third we both knew from the get go that a hospital birth was out of the question. A Dr in the NICU told my husband if we decided to have another c-section there was a 60% chance that baby would end up the same way as my son. No way were we taking that chance again. Luckily before i got pregnant i found the most amazing midwife. She reassured me that there was nothing wrong with me or my body. We decided right then and there we would do a home birth in the water. On Dec 31st around 3pm I started having surges. I wouldn't believe it was real since i had been having them on and off for a while. At about 2am i called my midwife and doula they could tell by my tone my daughter was coming. I got in the birth tub and after 18hrs my daughter slid into this world. her eyes were open and she was so alert. I only pushed for 26min and had no tearing whats so ever. SHe was 7lbs and 10oz. She was beautiful and she was mine. I was able to nurse her within the first hour and she never left my side from that moment on. It was the most amazing and impowering moment in my life. I wish every woman would experience this with their first becaus i can promise they would all do it over and over again. My daughter is only 4 months and i already want to go through labor again because it was so amazing. Call me crazy but i loved the whole experience.

I'm not sure how to go about getting something geologically plausible as far as sea floor goes. Painting it by hand (well, cloning it from an Earth map) would probably be the best way.
A bevel would probably work, but it's more for pre-lighted things than bump maps. Doing a couple of bevel layer effects with an additive blend might do what you want.
I'm fond of a tool that's not Photoshop for this sort of thing. A search for "CSU Johnsondale" would turn up some techniques that might interest you if the search things here were working. I used that technique to get the attached image ( I tossed on some random mountains that are undoubtedly in the wrong place for your purposes ). The sea element is basically just a distance transform of the land; an exponential on that might be a little more oceany.

No. 15 Germain.com/Pilot Travel Centers Team Keyed Up for 2010 Return to Monster Mile
Posted by: im_admin on May 11, 2010
Tagged in: Germain Racing
Dover, Del. (May 11, 2010) - This weekend, Michael Annett will return to a track where he earned one out of a total of five 2009 Raybestos Rookie of the Race awards. Hoping for another good run, his historical success at Dover International Speedway leads him into Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide Series Heluva Good! 200 with confidence.
Annett's 13th place finish in the September race at Dover last season not only gave him top finishing rookie honors, but marked his second top-20 finish on the one-mile oval in only two starts there. In the June race at the Monster Mile, he scored the Featherlite Most Improved Driver Award for his 19th place run.
"Being named Rookie of the Race and Most Improved Driver in my only two races at Dover definitely gives me a lot of confidence heading into Saturday's race. We have a great baseline to start with this weekend and are carrying a lot of momentum from our good finish at Darlington last week. I'm excited to get back to Dover to compete and also to spend time thanking the many soldiers that serve and protect our country," said Annett.
While he'll be spending the majority of his time in Delaware on the track at Dover International Speedway, Annett will also take the time to thank those who serve our country. The 23 year old driver will join several of his NASCAR Nationwide Series competitors for a visit to the Dover Air Force Base on Friday, as well as hosting a soldier and his family as guests for Saturday's race.
This weekend at Dover International Speedway will mark only the second time this season that all three of NASCAR's top ranked series will be competing at the same racetrack. In addition to Annett's No. 15 Germain.com/Pilot Travel Centers Toyota Camry, Germain Racing will field Max Papis' No. 13 NASCAR Sprint Cup entry and No. 9 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series entry, as well as Todd Bodine's No. 30 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series entry. All four of Germain Racing's cars and trucks will sport the Autism Speaks puzzle piece logo this weekend at Dover in support of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series title sponsor of Sunday's Autism Speaks 400 presented by Hershey's Milk and Milkshakes.
Friday marks the start of the race weekend at Dover International Speedway for the Nationwide Series with practice from 1:05 until 3 p.m. ET. Saturday's action begins with qualifying at 10:05 a.m. ET and the green flag drops for the NASCAR Nationwide Series Heluva Good! 200 at 2:30 p.m. ET.

International Trade & Logistics: OECD Forecasts More Goods in Supply Chain says new report
June 02, 2010
According to a new report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, trade flows are ramping up.
Economic activity in OECD countries is picking up faster than expected but volatile sovereign debt markets and overheating in emerging-market economies are presenting increasing risks to the recovery, according to the OECD's latest Economic Outlook.
Gross domestic product (GDP) across OECD countries is projected to rise by 2.7 percent this year and by 2.8 percent in 2011. These are upward revisions from the previous, November 2009, forecasts of OECD-wide GDP growth of 1.9 percent in 2010 and 2.5 percent in 2011.
In the U.S., activity is projected to rise by 3.2 percent this year and by a further 3.2 percent in 2011. Euro area growth is forecast at 1.2 percent this year and 1.8 percent next while, in Japan, GDP is expected to expand by 3.0 percent in 2010 and by 2.0 percent in 2011.
Trade flows are rising again. Strong growth in China and other emerging markets is helping to pull other countries out of recession. But at the same time, the risk of overheating and inflation is growing in emerging markets. A boom-bust scenario cannot be ruled out, requiring a further tightening in countries such as China and India.
"The knock-on effect would be slower growth in other regions," spokesmen said. "Exchange rate flexibility could ease some of the pressure on Chinese monetary policy and provide more scope for addressing domestic inflation."
Instability in sovereign debt markets poses another serious risk. It has highlighted the need for the euro area to strengthen its institutional and operational architecture. Bolder measures need to be taken to ensure fiscal discipline, said the OECD report.

Last night server crashed and some of mysql DB mailboxgroup got corrupted (missing few tables and one complete db)
I've already dumped & import all databases in mysql because of zmdbintegrityreport (it fixed almost all problems except that mysql bug that can be found on forums)
but the problem remains, incomplete databases - libexec/scripts/migrate20100913-Mysql51.pl returns some missing tables!
I've decided to do a workaround since we want to migrate zimbra from 32bit to 64 environment (clean inst.) but until then...
I can get accounts of corrupted mailboxgroup from zimbra.mailbox table but the problem is I can't remove them from Admin console nor zmprov so I could restore them from zimbra backup.
What else can I do? What would be the proper way?
Removing records from zimbra.mailbox, ldap etc?

Hi all, I've been aware of this site and done some lurking for a couple of years, but I'm finally going to take the plunge and get involved. I'm a Photoshop user who has been making maps for online Risk-clones for a few years, but I'd like to add some skills to my tool kit and I think this may the place to start. I look forward to working with you all, and I hope to have an entry in this month's Clouds competition (I guess I'd better get to work).
Below is some of my more recent work... actually this i just an excuse to figure out how to properly upload/post here, but it'll give some flavor as to what I do. Most of my work has a specific time stamp on it, such as the art deco-flavored Sci Fi Mars map.

Last Modified: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 2:44 p.m.
A man was sentenced Wednesday to eight years in prison and 13 years probation after pleading guilty to three counts of sexual battery and one count of lewd and lascivious molestation.
Assistant State Attorney Byron Aven said Thursday that Brenton McNeil, 21, pleaded guilty in December 2012. Following a pre-sentencing investigation and sentence recommendation, the sentencing hearing was held Wednesday.
McNeil was arrested March 23, 2012, by Marion County Sheriff's Office deputies after being accused of performing oral sex on a younger boy dating back to 2007. Authorities said that at that time, McNeil was 15 and the boy was 8.
The boy eventually told his mother about the alleged abuse and said the last time it happened was in 2010, according to Sheriff's Office reports.
When confronted by the woman, McNeil admitted the contact and called himself the "devil."
McNeil told investigators the sexual contact between him and the boy ended years earlier, however, and said he had been molested as a child by a family member, according to reports.
Aven said the court deemed that at the time of the offense McNeil was too young to appreciate the consequences.

It's Not Me, It's You -- An Excerpt.
by Stefanie Wilder Taylor
For my column this week I decided to give you all a chance to glimpse a bit of crazy from life in the form of a chapter from my new book It's Not Me, It's You that comes out July 7th. I will also be on the Today Show on Thursday July 9th talking about the book and my ex-love alcohol. Join me won't you?
I broke my therapy cherry at the tender age of seventeen. My first therapist's name was Irma and she was maybe sixty? I wasn't an excellent judge of age at this point despite the fact that Botox was years away –but besides the wrinkles I had a few hints; the woman was wearing bifocals and the most useless clothing item ever invented -a shawl - so that was a good tip off that she was probably eligible for the senior citizen discount. I worried that a woman in her sixties wouldn't be able to relate much to a teenager's problems but I tried to keep an open mind.
I was having "food issues" as well as "I hate my stepfather issues" not to mention that I could not go on more than two dates with a guy without feeling suffocated and things were not going well at home. I was a simmering stew of teen angst, anxiety and anger. My mother, who was a mental health professional, felt strongly that counseling could cure everything from multiple personalities to third degree burns. Maybe I should have known better than to consider her advice as gospel, considering my less than functional upbringing, but, hindsight is 20/20 and given the time I've spent in therapy, hindsight would have saved me enough cash over the years to be driving a Bentley Continental home to my own Malibu mansion. So my mother made the decision that I needed help –in fact, she made it a condition of my staying at home that I go talk to someone about why I couldn't get along with my stepfather.
Besides being about five generations away from me and reminding me not so slightly of a cafeteria lunch lady, Irma's bifocals magnified her eyes to such a cartoonish size that when she looked at me quizzically over the near sighted top half, it made me think of one of those creepy big eyed kid lithographs. It was disconcerting, to say the least. But the real deal breaker was that Irma was more than pleasantly plump and, unlike me, didn't seem to be agonizing over it in the least. She'd long ago given in to the allure of polyester pants suits and who could blame her? The woman was probably not packing up after a long day of doling out compassionate nods and hitting the nightclub circuit, she was more likely going home to rearrange her Hummel figurines and knit a tea cozy. How was I possibly going to tell her that eating two cookies made me feel like I may as well get in the car and drive through every fast food joint within a five mile radius because fuck it I'll always have a huge ass and no self control! without having to add, "Not that there's anything wrong with it!"
My appointments were every Saturday morning and they usually followed a Friday night keg party which brought with it a mean hangover so most sessions I spent running back and forth to the bathroom or begging for Tylenol. Luckily, most of the time I saw her was during flu season so she didn't think too much of it. But I didn't start getting along with my stepfather any better either.
What a great story! Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I didn't know whether to laugh or cringe. lol
I remember my aha moment where I realized it's really not me. I grew up hearing about how everything was me, even when it wasn't. My family would get together regularly for a "discussion" about what my problem was and how I needed to fix it, five of them to one of me. I learned early on to sit in a corner so it wouldn't come from every direction. They entered me into therapy, which I resisted. I only got worse as I got older. (Looking back, I wonder if they ever thought about trying love instead of criticism.)
My self esteem was nonexistent, and I never understood why some people said I was harder on myself than anyone ever was on me. I became self abusive, and I spiraled out of control. It wasn't until I had my first child and got married that I began to get a grip. Having a child whom I was determined to be a good mother for and having a caring husband who wanted me to be the best I could be worked wonders. Over the years, I improved by leaps and bounds and found the self confidence I never had as a child.
When I was about 30 years old, I started to notice things more and more. A neighbor told me they remember how harsh my father was. I was shocked, because my family said my father was kind and loving, never harsh, and it was all in my head to think otherwise. My family had me convinced I was crazy until the outsider told me what they remember. So it wasn't me! Someone else pointed out how skinny I was as a child when they saw my picture. All these years I believed my family when they told me I was fat, ate too much, etc. I felt cheated. A dozen years of eating disorder thinking I was fat, and I wasn't.
Slowly these little things added up, and I kept seeing again and again how wrong my family was. Then one day it hit me. I was obsessed about the formula for a successful visit. I had the fruit plate, veggie plate, tea, soda, etc so they would have what they needed. After the visit, they told everyone how nice it was to visit me and went on and on about the food. They hardly had two words to say about visiting my children and me! I thought about the last time I had a party with a plate of cookies, chips, two kinds of soda my husband and I don't even drink, two kinds of tea, coffee, water, and Koolaide so everyone had something they liked. We were so poor at that time that I had to send my children to school for breakfast and lunch, and I didn't eat some days so my kids would have plenty to eat. Nevertheless, I put out some food and hosted a birthday at my house.
My family made disparaging remarks about how I didn't have more to offer when they could have very well afforded a few dollars to bring something.
I thought about how my friend invited us to a birthday party a week before and had a few snack bags of chips, 1-2 pizzas for everyone, and 2 sodas. Not one of their family had anything to say about there not being several bags of chips, a veggie and fruit tray, several different drinks, etc. Her family enjoyed their visit and discussed more important things than the lack of food. When one person was hungry, they quietly went and got something to eat and came back.
I thought about several other times I had gotten together with other people besides my family and how not once did any of those people ever say anything about food or consider food the most important part of the get together. Not once did any of those other people say anything to the hostess if she didn't serve something or enough of something. IT WASN'T ME! IT WAS THEM!
All of these years I've thought *I* was the dysfunctional one! All of these years, my family convinced me I was crazy! I bought into it hook, line, and sinker. Now I see it's not me! 30 years of wasted emotion. I finally feel so liberated! And the best part is that I've taught my children better, so they have a head start on a healthy life. Thank goodness, because 30 years is a long time thinking something is wrong with you when it's not you, it's them.
Thank you for sharing your story. It's nice to see it's not just me. :)

Air cargo profits take off
November 10, 2010
While the height of the global recession in 2008-2009 saw the airline industry facing unprecedented declines, the dramatic upturn that began in the 4th Quarter of 2009—driven by shipper needs to restock depleted inventory—only draws more attention to the air freight market's volatility.
IATA forecasts 2010 yields for cargo to grow 7.9 percent, sharply higher than the 4.5 percent previously projected. As of September, IATA now expects the airline industry worldwide to generate net profits of $8.9 billion in 2010, up from its previous forecast of $2.5 billion. Certainly, current airline revenue figures are impressive. In the United States alone, Delta Airlines posted a $467 million second quarter 2010 profit, part of the cumulative $1.45 billion profit reported by the top nine U.S. passenger airlines for that period—and a dramatic turnaround from their net loss of $556 million a year ago. However, the IATA maintains that this recovery is not sustainable and only reflects a post recession rebound; in the meantime, the organization does commend the industry for managing its assets with tight capacity over the past 12 months.
Any way you slice it, it's time for a reality check. The IATA warns that even with this year's improvement, yields are still 8 percent below the pre-crisis levels of 2008. In addition, doubts linger about how long this cyclical upturn will last. "This year is as good as it gets," says Giovanni Bisignani, IATA director general and CEO. "It will be the peak of the cycle and 2011 will be a much tougher year." Bisignani's reasoning for the slow down in the air is directly related to the forces that have kept the current rebound rather tepid: government stimulus monies are ending; new jobs haven't been created; and consumer confidence remains low. "Even if it is sustainable, the profit margins are so razor thin that even increasing profits 3.5 times only generates a 1.6 percent margin," he adds. This is below the 2.5 percent margin of the previous cycle peak in 2007 and far below what it would take just to cover the industry's capital costs."The bounce that we saw this year was to restock inventories," Bisignani adds. "Now consumer spending needs to support demand."

First, I must say Zimbra is kick-a$$ open-source!
Second, a question for you... we are using Zimbra for our organization. I want to use our shared calendar, call it SharedCal, to drive a web page of upcoming events.
Using the docs I see I can get a SharedCal RSS. Great.
But when I try to use to build the web page it requires authentication. I've even tried http://username:password@myserver/zi...ays&end=14days
but to no avail.
How can I make this work? Can I disable authentication for a calendar? Is anybody else using a calendar URL to drive a webpage? If so, how did you do it?

Marion County Commission supports purchase of The Rook
Published: Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 3:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 3:13 p.m.
The Marion County Commission on Tuesday unanimously backed Sheriff Chris Blair's request to spend $255,000 on The Rook, a tracked, armor-plated vehicle to be deployed when suspects are barricaded inside buildings.
Blair told the board that the 13,000-pound tactical vehicle was necessary to keep deputies, especially the SWAT members, safe in such situations.
The Ocala Police Department has supported the purchase and will split the cost, paid for through a trust fund fed by proceeds from seized assets.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Kevin Garnett scored eight of his 12 points in
the fourth quarter to help lead a late Boston rally that lifted the Celtics to
a 71-69 decision over the Chicago Bulls in a defensively dominated matchup
from TD Garden.
Garnett added 11 rebounds and Brandon Bass finished with a game-high 14 points
for the Celtics, who outscored Chicago by a 30-20 margin over the final 13
minutes to improve to 8-1 since All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo tore his ACL
on Jan. 25.
Marco Belinelli paced the Bulls with 12 points and both Joakim Noah and Carlos
Boozer posted double-doubles in the loss, Chicago's second straight and fourth
in five outings.
Noah amassed 10 points and 16 rebounds, with Boozer compiling 11 points and 11
Chicago shot just 36.5 percent from the floor and went 3-of-17 from three-
point range, with Boston hitting on only 36.8 percent of its field goal
attempts in a game in which scoring was at a premium.

Health Information
Heart Failure and Physical Activity
If you have heart failure, you may wonder if physical activity is good for you. How could putting more strain on your heart and making it work harder be a good thing? The heart is a muscle, and like other muscles, it gets stronger with use.
Regular and moderate physical activity, such as walking, swimming, or biking, can improve heart failure symptoms, reduce stress, and increase energy levels. It can also decrease blood pressure, improve circulation, and help you lose weight--important factors in staying healthy, especially when you have heart failure.
Being physically active with this condition can be a struggle, and you may have to follow certain precautions. Talk with your health care provider before starting a physical activity program. If you're not used to physical activity and are nervous about starting, your health care provider can help you develop a physical activity plan that fits your needs.

The binding ripped the decking
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
There are a lot of great things about these snowshoes: they work well in various snow conditions, the frame looks sturdy, and they're very comfortable. But the combination of the "axis gait," which lets you rotate your foot and the speedlock binding, which is heavy ridged plastic doesn't work. On my size 10.5 winter hiking boot, with the angle of my foot, the binding rubs against the decking on one side and after only about 5 hours has torn it. Very disappointing. Might work fine if you have smaller feet/less rotation.

Write your question here...I'm looking for snowshoes for my daughter, but she wears size 3 shoes. Any resource for small women snowshoes? Most kids snowshoes not up to snuff.
The MSR Shift snowshoes might be a good choice. They're technically meant for older kids/youth, but have nice features (good bindings, pivoting foot plate, metal crampons on the bottom). They'd probably fit that size foot - my daughter is currently in size 5 and they fit her.
Hi, I need snowshoes for snowboarding in...
Hi, I need snowshoes for snowboarding in the backcountry but not sure what size would be better 22" or 25". if anyone with experience could give me some advice I would appreciate it greatly, thank you
well the size depends on two factors your weight you will have( you, your gear) and your height. A longer shoe will keep you up in lighter powder, but a smaller show will make it easy to move. Check the sizing chart, but do not forget to add your pack weight
Dwayne provided a good answer (it depends on weight and snow conditions). If you're on the lighter side, but want flexibility, go with the 22" and then get the 5" flotation tails for the best of both worlds.
One critical factor not mentioned above is the snow conditions in your area. Snow in the Rockies is much different from snow in the Cascades. Know your local snow conditions. That said, in general I'll go a bit shorter if on the border and opt for manuverability over floatation. In general, if you are with others only the lead really needs to be concerned with floatation and swapping leads really makes the need for big shoes unnecessary - you may have to work a bit harder with less floatation, but only during leading. The trade-off is worth it. If doing any steep climbing, go with a shorter (and lighter) shoe. Just my two cents...

ECS death
ELKHART — Three students at Elkhart Community Schools died in 2013, as did three former Elkhart coaches.
Caleb Black, 11; Eunice Peña, 18; and Sarah Crane, 15; all departed from the Elkhart school community this year, leaving teachers and fellow students who must continue the school year without them.
Larry Forrest, who coached basketball at West Side Middle School; Steve Johnson, who coached basketball at Elkhart Memorial; and John Alley, who was a longtime wrestling coach and teacher for the corporation, also died in 2013.
How does a school adjust in situations like this, when a classmate or a beloved coach isn't at school anymore?
Memorial principal Mark Tobolski said that after a death, students just want normalcy.
"All of the young kids kept saying (after Crane died on Dec. 7), we need to put things back into normal and get back to life," Tobolski said.
He added that in Memorial's case, students had been involved in Crane's cancer fight almost from the beginning. Many of them participated in Sarahstrong events and fundraisers, and that helped, he said.
"We just need to realize that people grieve in different ways, and we are just going to have to understand that," he said. "We will all have that grief in a little way, whether it's an anniversary or a track sectional that will trigger that."
Grief counselors from nonprofit center Ryan's Place visited Elkhart schools a few times this year to support students and staff, according to executive director Aileac Deegan.
She said that elementary students sometimes need the most support after a death, because they may not believe that death is permanent. To help, Ryan's Place staff uses some specific language when talking to young children.
"We never say that a person has passed away or passed on, even though as adults that sounds better to us because it's not as stark," Deegan explained. "We say, the person is dead and they are not coming back. If you say to a child that a person is lost — well, if you lose something you can find it."
Young children also may worry that what happened to another child will happen to them, Deegan said.
"We never say 'this won't happen to you' because we don't know that, but we do our best to reassure them," Deegan said. "We talk about the majority of people, who are healthy and fine."
Counselors also encourage elementary students to write letters or draw pictures for the person who died. The feeling of "doing something" can help a lot, Deegan said.
"Younger children can't stay in their grief for a long time," she added. "It's kind of a cyclical thing. The hope is that the times they are sad gets shorter and the times they are happy and can play get longer. We want them to know that it's okay to form new relationships."
Grieving teenagers are more likely to want to talk about the person who died.
"Teens a lot of times don't want to do activities, they want to talk and be close to their peers," Deegan said. "One thing that can really help young people is being with others who have been through the same experience."
Adults at the school may need to be reassured that it's OK to cry or to feel sadness.
"Adults are having to be strong for the children in the class ... and that can be very difficult," Deegan said. "After the first few crisis days or weeks, they may find it is really hard for them to deal with."
Spending time with counselors can provide a "safe space" for adults at the school to feel vulnerable, she added.
If you are a parent and your child's classmate died this year, Deegan said it's a good idea to talk to your children about any fears they may have.
"Let them know there will always be someone there to take care of them, even though their world may be turned upside down at the moment," she advised.

Just installed locally Zimbra OpenSource on FC3, and successfully (very handy install script and command line features).
I searched and searched the forum about a nagging problem with the preview pane. Can't seem to view any email (Firefox 1.5). Furthermore, the preview pane shows as a thin bar next to the Zimbra logo.
I know, by reading the forum, that some of us had the problem, but it seems odd to me that I can view email content and activate the preview pane on the hosted demo, but not locally.
I tried to clear the cache, but to no avail: the preview pane falls in its rightful place, but blank emails nonetheless .
Any advice or pointers about that?
