ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- More than two dozen people are dead after a man opened fire at this elementary school in Connecticut.
The Rockford Public School District is offering its condolences to everyone affected by this tragedy.
23 News Reporter Lauren Kravets spoke with Assistant Superintendent Martha Hayes today. Hayes was shocked when she was told about the shooting. As far as something like this happening locally, she says the district's security team is very diligent and while she doesn't want to advertise specific security procedures, she says some people are searched, but says there's always room for improvement.
"Anytime something like this happens, you become more vigilant, you go back and check. When we hear more about how that happened there, we'll certainly want to learn from anything we can find out from that situation, how we can improve what we do," Hayes said.
The district has had a discussion about introducing metal detectors, but Hayes says there's so many entrances and doors in school buildings, that someone from the inside could always open a side door for someone, unless you put a metal detector at every single door in every building, which could be costly. You'd also have to have someone manning those doors all the time. Those are some of the challenges.
For the response of local schools, please see the attached documents above.
DANBURY, Conn. (AP) -- A spokesman for Western Connecticut State University says the man identified as the gunman who killed 26 children and adults in an elementary school took college classes when he was only 16.
Paul Steinmetz, spokesman for the Danbury school, confirmed Monday that Adam Lanza earned a 3.26 grade point average while a student there. He dropped out of a German language class and withdrew from a computer science class, but earned an A in a computer class, A-minus in American history and B in macroeconomics.
Steinmetz says Lanza was among a small group of 16-year-olds among the school's 5,000 undergraduates.
The Hartford Courant and The Wall Street Journal first reported Lanza's academic record at Western Connecticut State.
Steinmetz says Lanza took his last class in the summer of 2009 and didn't return.
NEWTOWN (AP) -- A grieving Connecticut town is bracing itself for the first funerals for victims of the school shooting last week that left 20 children and six adults dead.
Officials in Newtown are also debating when classes could resume -- and where, given the carnage in the building and the children's associations with it.
The funerals come a day after President Barack Obama pledged to seek change in memory of the victims. The district is considering sending surviving students to a former school building in a neighboring town.
The gunman was 20-year-old Adam Lanza. Authorities said Sunday he was carrying hundreds of rounds of especially deadly ammunition, enough to kill just about every student in the school if given time.
His motive remains unclear. He killed his mother before heading to the school and committed suicide as police closed in.

The funerals come a day after President Barack Obama pledged to seek change in memory of the victims. The district is considering sending surviving students to a former school building in a neighboring town.
The gunman was 20-year-old Adam Lanza. Authorities said Sunday he was carrying hundreds of rounds of especially deadly ammunition, enough to kill just about every student in the school if given time.
His motive remains unclear.
Twenty-six people, including 20 children, were killed in the shooting rampage before the gunman shot and killed himself. Police say another adult was found dead at a second location.
A law enforcement official has identified the gunman as 20-year-old Adam Lanza, the son of a teacher at the Sandy Hook Elementary school. The official says Lanza killed his mother at their home before driving his mother's car to the school.
Police say the killer carried two handguns into the school, while a rifle was found in the back of a car. They say the shootings took place in two classrooms, but they are not providing details on exactly how it unfolded.
Students and their parents describe teachers locking doors and ordering the children to huddle in classroom corners or hide in closets as shots echoed through the building. Authorities said the shootings took place in two nearby classrooms, but they gave no details on exactly how they unfolded.
Conn. school shooting suspect was son of teacher
The man suspected of gunning down more than two dozen people in a small town in Connecticut is the son of a teacher at the elementary school where the killings occurred, and his mother is presumed to be among the dead.
Police say Adam Lanza apparently drove to his mother's school carrying two handguns and a .223-caliber rifle and carried out the massacre. Law enforcement officials are trying to learn as much as possible about the 20-year-old and questioning his older brother, who is not believed to have any involvement in the rampage.
So far, authorities have not spoken publicly of any possible motive.
Several neighbors of the Lanzas in Sandy Hook, a community about 60 miles northeast of New York City, said they knew little about the family.
Children describe terror as shooter kills 26
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- Schoolchildren and their parents are describing the scene at a Connecticut elementary school today, as teachers locked doors and ordered the children to huddle in the corner or hide in closets.
Shots rang through the building, as a gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children.
One man says his 6-year-old son was in class when the gunman burst in and shot the teacher. He says his son "grabbed a bunch of his friends and ran out the door."
The father of one 7-year-old says the boy heard a noise that sounded like "cans falling." A teacher went out to check on the noise, came back in, locked the door, and had the kids huddle in the corner until police arrived.
A teenager who rushed to the school to check on his sister, after hearing the gunfire from his nearby home, says the 9-year-old girl had heard a scream come over the intercom at one point.
As they left the school, the children -- some crying, others looking frightened -- were told by police to close their eyes, so they wouldn't see the carnage around them.
The official tells The Associated Press that Ryan Lanza, of Hoboken, N.J., is still be being questioned but is not in custody and is not believed to have any connection to the school killings.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the investigation.
The official says Ryan Lanza's computers and phone records were being searched but only "in an abundance of caution." He says Ryan told authorities he had not been in touch with his brother in recent years.
UPDATE: WASHINGTON (AP) -- A law enforcement official says the suspect in the Connecticut school shootings is 20-year-old Adam Lanza, the son of a teacher at the school where the shootings occurred. A second law enforcement official says the boy's mother, Nancy Lanza, is presumed dead.
The first official says Adam Lanza's older brother, 24-year-old Ryan, of Hoboken, N.J., is being questioned by police. An earlier report from a law enforcement official mistakenly transposed the brothers' first names.
Both officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record about the developing criminal investigation.
The first official said Adam Lanza is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
AP source: Suspect in Connecticut school shootings is 24-year-old; younger brother being held.
UPDATE: Police have identified the alleged shooter as Ryan Lanza. They say his mother was a teacher at the school. He is dead inside the school. It is unclear if he took his own life or if he was killed by police. They are looking for a potential motive.
UPDATE: Police say the shooter is dead inside the building. They say the "scene is secure".
UPDATE: A law enforcement official says the attacker in the Connecticut school shootings is a 20-year-old man with ties to the school.
The official said that a gun used in the attacks is a .223-caliber rifle. The official also said that New Jersey state police are searching a location in that state in connection with the shootings, said by an official in Connecticut to have left 27 dead, including 18 children.
The official in Washington spoke on the condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak on the record about the developing criminal investigation.
UPDATE: CBS News says at least 27 people were killed in the shooting. 18 of the victims are children.
One of the alleged gunmen is dead at the scene. Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of a second shooter.
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- Connecticut State Police say they are assisting local police in Newtown in response to reports of a shooting at an elementary school.
A dispatcher at the Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps says a teacher has been shot in the foot and taken to Danbury Hospital.
Police say at least one person was shot and several people are injured. There are also reports that one gunman is dead. It's still unclear if there was more than one shooter.
The superintendent's office says the district has locked down schools.
The shooting was reported at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, in western Connecticut. State police say Newtown police called them at about 9:40 a.m. about the reports.
Police say at least one person was shot and several people are injured. There are also reports that one gunman is dead. It's still unclear if there was more than one shooter.

ASICS finds the perfect fit in Warehouse/DC Operations
February 01, 2013 - LM Editorial
Japan-based ASICS Corporation—an acronym from the Latin phrase, Anima Sana In Corpore Sano ("a sound mind in a sound body")—employs the latest in scientific research for the sole purpose of staying ahead of the curve when manufacturing the most advanced athletic products in the world. Since being introduced to the U.S. in 1977, the manufacturer has gained tremendous ground as the go-to footwear in this country's burgeoning population of running aficionados.
Today, its American subsidiary, ASICS America Corporation, distributes athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories to a vast array of customers—including major sporting goods stores, department stores, family footwear retailers, and specialty stores in the U.S.,Canada, and Brazil. The company has been growing rapidly; reporting double-digit gains in net income in 2012. With such impressive growth comes great responsibility, and ASICS America's distribution team has kept a close eye on its distribution infrastructure so that it can continuously and seamlessly support revenue growth while efficiently meeting customer requirements.
Since 1996, the team had operated what was in its day a state-of-the art distribution center (DC) with pickers using mobile radio frequency (RF) devices to zone-pick orders from traditional pick modules to cartons on conveyors. Initially designed to support $500 million in sales, this old DC began feeling the pain as sales—predicted to grow to $1 billion by 2015—began exceeding its capacity. The DC operations team knew it had to step up in order to keep pace with growing demands as well as corporate expansion plans.
So in August 2011, the team flipped the switch on a new, technologically advanced, 520,000-square-foot paperless, wireless DC in Marshall County, Miss., to process the company's footwear product line that drives the majority of its business. Over the next few pages we'll detail how ASICS completely transformed the way it processed footwear orders to accommodate rapid growth using a high-capacity unit sorter. We also take note of how it's using mobile equipment to keep a real-time check on inventory; improve communication among floor supervisors; and efficiently manage assets, resources, and shipping operations.
Outgrowing the old DC
After years of aggressive growth, it wasn't until 2007 when Kyle Koestler, ASICS America's director of DC planning, knew something had to give. "The capacity of the old DC was about 50,000 units per day, but we needed to ship an average of 65,000 units per day. We basically had to work 22 of 24 hours, and during our peak season, overtime hours were especially severe," he says.
Continued SKU proliferation didn't help matters. While the old DC had only 12,000 total pick faces, including apparel, it was potentially processing in excess of 20,000 SKUs. "Whatever SKUs that we weren't picking for the day we pulled out and replaced with whatever SKUs we needed," recalls Kim Appling, director of DC operations. "We would do this at night so that when the workers came in they could just start picking."
Most of its business drove outbound processing and shipping to the end of the month, but because it couldn't keep up, the DC had to process a number of its end-of-the-month orders by the middle of the month. That compounded the challenge of finding additional space to hold packed orders in a facility that was already bursting at the seams—in fact, the team was already using 224,000 square feet of off-site warehouse space.
The final test of the old DC's mettle was how quickly it could handle its "at-once" or high priority orders. "We're extra sensitive to the 'at-once' business because the better we are at responding to them, the faster we get product to the store shelf to fill the need," explains Koestler. But unfortunately, "at-once" was taking between 3 to 5 business days, and Koestler and Appling knew they could do much better.

Lifetime membership is paid either in one payment giving you an immediate savings offer – or charged to your credit card in 12 equal monthly payments. Once you fulfill your membership dues, you'll never pay another dime in American Legion membership dues.
Question: How is my cost calculated?
Answer: Starting on Jan. 1, 2014, The American Legion rolled out a new, simplified procedure and cost calculation formula.
Previous PUFL forms (printed in 2009) are still accepted if submitted; however most will find the new cost structure and incentives to be a better value.
Age is the primary component used in the new pricing structure. In most cases, post dues are NOT a factor in the calculation.
The cost is specifically calculated for you. Go to www.legion.org/join/PUFL to get your personalized Paid Up For Life offer.
Question: What if my post's dues increase?
Answer: Being a Paid Up For Life member will protect you from any future dues increases at the post, department or national levels. That alone can save hundreds of dollars over the lifetime of your membership.

This year was supposed to be the bottom for the housing market and 2012 was supposed to mark the turnaround. In reality, even the improvements sound like bad news, and some forecasters are saying we'll have another year of gloom before the clouds break.
"It's unlikely prices will rise next year in most markets," said Jed Kolko, chief economist at real estate information site Trulia. "By that measure most local markets will not recover next year, but prices are only one measure of how the housing market is doing."
American home values are likely to shed $681 billion this year, according to Zillow. That's better than the $1.1 trillion lost in 2010, but hardly worth breaking out the bubbly.
In a nutshell, that's the problem with the housing market today. Even the good news is relative, and a true recovery is still at least a few quarters away.
"[T]he unabsorbed pool of housing supply, dragging levels of consumer confidence, high unemployment and negative equity will continue to put downward pressure on the housing market, pushing our expectation for a potential recovery into late 2012 or early 2013," Stan Humphries, chief economist at real estate research company Zillow Inc., said in a statement.
Data company CoreLogic estimates there is a "shadow inventory" of 1.6 million homes, which is the biggest drag on prices.
"Foreclosures lead to very motivated sellers, which will have a destabilizing effect on prices," said Nicolas Retsinas, professor of real estate at Harvard Business School. The sluggish pace of foreclosures — hampered by the robo-signing scandal, ongoing investigations and litigation — have stalled the movement of those homes back into the market.
Data on the number of sales is more promising.
In November, sales of single-family homes hit a seven-month high. Sales rose 1.6 percent for the month, and 9.8 percent over the past 12 months.
But these figures are climbing back from abysmal depths; the National Association of Realtors thjs week lowered its figures on the number of homes sold between 2007 and 2010 by nearly 3 million, down to 17.7 million.
"With a highly leveraged housing bust, you haven't seen that increase in residential investment in spite of low interest rates," said Ted Gayer, a senior fellow at Brookings Institution.
Slack demand for existing homes also means fewer buyers for new homes. Home building has traditionally been the tow truck that pulls the economy out of the mud, but with so many empty houses and so few people moving into them, that's not the case this time around.
"It's not a demand problem," Gayer said. "When you have such a huge excess supply it doesn't really get at the problem."
Even though interest rates are at record lows, a tight credit market is keeping people who do want to buy on the sidelines, said Retsinas. Lower rates of household formation — fewer immigrants and more adult children still living with their parents — also quash demand.
Despite these headwinds, there are glimmers of hope. Kolko said an uptick in multifamily construction and remodeling, while not as strong as the traditional home building engine, will still provide construction-sector jobs in the near term. Longer term, more multifamily dwellings on the market will alleviate the increase in rents happening now, potentially giving people more breathing room to save for a home purchase in the future.
And a few parts of the country might catch a break next year. Kolko said California's Silicon Valley, along with much of Texas and New England, are starting to recover due to their employment levels or because the housing bubble wasn't as pronounced there in the first place. The rest of us will just have to hope for better luck in '13.

Ned Yost media session: September 20
Before opening a two game series with tonight's 7:10 contest vs. the Detroit Tigers, Royals manager Ned Yost gave an update on closer Joakim Soria. The two-time All-Star has been day-to-day with a strained right hamstring since pitching the ninth inning for a 2-1 win for the Royals at Seattle on September 11. Soria played catch today but has yet to throw a side session. With Soria out, this leaves opportunities for relief pitchers Aaron Crow and Greg Holland.
"It's not a bad thing to give them [Crow andH olland] closing experience even though it's a week or two weeks," Yost said. "Every little bit of experience helps."
Designated hitter Billy Butler is out of the lineup today due to illness. Mitch Maier will be filling the designated hitter role and batting seventh. The Royals skipper confirmed that Butler has a small touch of the flu bug. Butler is receiving treatment and Yost hopes that he will be ready for Wednesday.
"If it was a real dire situation we'd probably play him [Butler] tonight," Yost said. "Right now we want to make sure we don't want to wear him out too much and let him go ahead and finish the last seven games strong."
Starting right-hander Luis Mendoza will be taking the mound for the Royals tonight, making his first big league appearance in 2011 after having his contract selected from Triple-A Omaha. Mendoza appeared in four games in 2010 as a reliever, with his last Major League start in 2008 with Texas.

One Neighbor's Trash Is My Daughter's Treasure
So, we decided to use our collective "girl power." The Frog Princess pushed her little sister (19 month old, Mini-Saurus) in the stroller while I strapped the desk onto our dolley (in the rain!) and wheeled it home into our garage. My hubby was still at work and was "surprised" to see such a lovely treasure waiting in our garage when he got home. Several coats of white and purple spray paint later, during Mini-Saurus' naps while the Frog Princess was at Kindergarten, we have her new big girl desk. Yes... I know it's not the "Green-est" way to paint but at least I'm not going out and buying a new piece of furniture. She is over the moon in love with it. Maybe I'll just dumpster dive for the rest of her Christmas gifts this year.

So I've got an .svg file that I created in Inkscape, with some greys and some solid black. When I print my film via AccuRIP to my 1430, the black comes out halftoned, like this:
The blacks are 100% black, and there doesn't seem to be any antialiasing going on:
Nothing special going on in the color management settings:
Anyone else have this issue? Images with only pure black are coming out nice and crisp with no halftones... seems to be something about grey and black together in the same image that's causing the issue.

Fall festivals around Long Island
(Page 2 of 4)
Fall is a delightful time at Old Westbury Gardens as the change of seasons brings about colorful changes to the array of flowers and fauna. The Gardens also take on a different dimension during this time of year, as new visitors will appear among the greenery, in the form of Jack O'Lanterns, in what is known as "The Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns," weekend evenings throughout October.
Local sculptors and artists have created individually crafted Jack O'Lanterns that exude a unique style and expression in this unusual exhibit. "The overall effect of viewing these thousands of illuminated pieces of art on a long and winding trail on the majestic grounds of Old Westbury Gardens is truly overwhelming," said Gardens spokesperson Vince Kish.
"The Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns" will certainly get everyone in the Halloween spirit, but it is not designed to be scary, it is more of a Halloween-themed art show, complete with music.
Of course, the Gardens themselves are always a focal point this time of year. "Understandably, many visitors to Old Westbury Gardens think in terms of the spring and summer as the primary seasons to visit here," said Kish. "But there's actually a lot going on in October. Our weekend evening event, "The Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns," is already proving to be a crowd pleaser, and will very likely become an annual favorite. By day, the weather is a little brisk, facilitating long, invigorating walks on our 200 bucolic acres. The Walled Garden is still filled with flowers. And as the thousands of deciduous trees start to lose their colorful leaves, new unique vistas that are not available at other times of the year are revealed."
"When you add in "The Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns" and our other events, not to mention our magnificent mansion, it's clear that this is really the place to be in the fall."

Red Hot Chili Peppers star Chad Smith and Will Ferrell have set their sights on challenging Metallica rocker Lars Ulrich in a new drum battle.
Last month, Smith and his actor doppelganger went head-to-head on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" in a long-awaited "drum-off." The funnyman, who was clad in the exact same outfit as Smith, lost after the Red Hot Chili Peppers star showed off his unmatched skills.
Now the two have joined forces and are looking to bring a third drummer into the mix, by challenging Ulrich to a battle.
Ferrell tells Spin magazine, "We did talk about another drum-off. With a third person that looks eerily similar to Chad and I. A third drummer out there…
"Lars gets (angry) because he gets mistaken for both me and Chad Smith. He can settle that score now, too."
Smith adds, "There it is.The gauntlet is down."
Ulrich has yet to respond to Ferrell and Smith's challenge. The first drum-off staged on Fallon's show was used to to raise money for charities Cancer for College and Little Kids Rock.

Hi Folks,
I have added a few external mail accounts and when I right click them and select "Get External Mail", they behave exactly the way you would expect, except for one...
I'm not entirely sure what this means or what to do about it. I tried the simple approach of re-booting the server, hoping that would perform any database clean-up (re-index, close logs, journals, and transactions). I am now confronted with what appears to be an application level consistency that I don't understand.system failure: Folder sync failed, system failure: Synchronization of folder '/InfoGreat.com/Emailed Contacts' failed, system failure: Cannot delete message with uid 305, UID STORE failed: mailbox selected READ-ONLY
Can anybody explain what this means and what I must do?
Thanks for the help,

Starbucks is becoming a gun-free zone.
After months of wrangling over the highly-emotional issue, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz late Tuesday announced that guns are no longer permitted in Starbucks stores - or in Starbucks outdoor seating areas.
Schultz made the comments in an open letter to his "Fellow Americans" that was posted on the company's website.
In an interview with USA TODAY, also Tuesday, Schultz says: "The presence of a weapon in our stores is unsettling and upsetting for many of our customers."
But, to be clear, Starbucks will not slap an outright ban on guns, he says, because enforcing such a ban "would potentially require our partners to confront armed customers."
Full-page newspaper advertisements announcing the change will appear in Thursday's editions of USA TODAY, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post.
For Starbucks, which has been embraced by the gun lobby for permitting guns in stores in those parts of more than 40 states that allow them, it's a major change of policy certain to have immediate blow-back from pro-gun enthusiasts.
The move comes just days after the mass-killing left 13 dead at Washington's Navy Yard, but Schultz insists the timing of the policy change is unrelated. In fact, he says, the company thought about postponing the announcement after Monday's massacre, but opted to move ahead.
Because of the usually progressive stance Starbucks takes on most social issues, the coffee giant has found itself caught in the middle of the gun issue as it's tried to walk a very thin line and make peace with its customers who are gun advocates and those who favor gun control. Schultz says he has spent much of the past four months trying to find a solution.
"Both sides of the issue have staged events at Starbucks, so our company has been characterized as pro and anti-gun, but we're neither'" insists Schultz. "Very few issues are as emotional or as polarizing as this."
Unlike the NO SMOKING signs currently posted in its stores, there will be no signs posted that specifically state that guns are not welcome.
"At this point we'll sit and monitor the situation," says Schultz. " We're hoping that most people will honor the request." But even if gun-carrying customers don't honor the request, says Schultz, "we'll serve them with a smile and not confront them."
Schultz insists that his decision was not bottom-line driven. A recent "Skip Starbucks Saturday" sponsored by a gun control group had no impact at all on sales, he says.
Rather, he says, Starbucks has had "a number of episodes" in its stores over the past few months regarding guns "that made our customers feel quiet uncomfortable."
As a result, Schultz says, Starbucks has heard from numerous customers who don't want guns in the stores. He declined to state how many. But, he says, "it got my attention."
Schultz declined to state if he carries - or has ever carried - a gun. "This isn't about me, he says. "It's about the company."
Howard Schultz's letter reads in full:
Dear Fellow Americans,
Few topics in America generate a more polarized and emotional debate than guns. In recent months, Starbucks stores and our partners (employees) who work in our stores have been thrust unwillingly into the middle of this debate. That's why I am writing today with a respectful request that customers no longer bring firearms into our stores or outdoor seating areas.
We appreciate that there is a highly sensitive balance of rights and responsibilities surrounding America's gun laws, and we recognize the deep passion for and against the "open carry" laws adopted by many states. (In the United States, "open carry" is the term used for openly carrying a firearm in public.) For years we have listened carefully to input from our customers, partners, community leaders and voices on both sides of this complicated, highly charged issue.
Recently, however, we've seen the "open carry" debate become increasingly uncivil and, in some cases, even threatening. Pro-gun activists have used our stores as a political stage for media events misleadingly called "Starbucks Appreciation Days" that disingenuously portray Starbucks as a champion of "open carry." To be clear: we do not want these events in our stores. Some anti-gun activists have also played a role in ratcheting up the rhetoric and friction, including soliciting and confronting our customers and partners.
I would like to clarify two points. First, this is a request and not an outright ban. Why? Because we want to give responsible gun owners the chance to respect our request-and also because enforcing a ban would potentially require our partners to confront armed customers, and that is not a role I am comfortable asking Starbucks partners to take on. Second, we know we cannot satisfy everyone. For those who oppose "open carry," we believe the legislative and policy-making process is the proper arena for this debate, not our stores. For those who champion "open carry," please respect that Starbucks stores are places where everyone should feel relaxed and comfortable. The presence of a weapon in our stores is unsettling and upsetting for many of our customers.

Familial Partial Lipodystrophy
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Familial Partial Lipodystrophy is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Familial partial lipodystrophy (FPL) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by selective, progressive loss of body fat (adipose tissue) from various areas of the body. Individuals with FPL often have reduced subcutaneous fat in the arms and legs and the head and trunk regions may or may not have loss of fat. Conversely, affected individuals may also have excess subcutaneous fat accumulation in other areas of the body, especially the neck, face and intra-abdominal regions. Subcutaneous fat is the fatty or adipose tissue layer that lies directly beneath the skin. In most cases, adipose tissue loss begins during puberty. FPL can be associated with a variety of metabolic abnormalities. The extent of adipose tissue loss usually determines the severity of the associated metabolic complications. These complications can include an inability to properly breakdown a simple sugar known as glucose (glucose intolerance), elevated levels of triglycerides (fat) in the blood (hypertriglyceridemia), and diabetes. Additional findings can occur in some cases. Six different subtypes of FPL have been identified. Each subtype is caused by a mutation in a different gene. Four forms of FPL are inherited as autosomal dominant traits; one form is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The mode of inheritance of FPL, Kobberling variety is unknown.
Lipodystrophy is a general term for a group of disorders that are characterized by complete (generalized) or partial loss of adipose tissue. In addition to FPL, there are other inherited forms of lipodystrophy. Some forms of lipodystrophy are acquired at some point during life. The degree of severity and the specific areas of the body affected can vary greatly among the lipodystrophies. Some individuals may only develop cosmetic problems; other can develop life-threatening complications. The loss of adipose tissue that characterizes these disorders is sometimes referred to as lipoatrophy rather than lipodystrophy by some physicians. FPL was first described in the medical literature in 1970s independently by Doctors Kobberling and Dunnigan.

Hi Team,
I have installed Zimbra NE 8.0.3 in a multi server environment. We need to migrate user mailboxes from Qmail to Zimbra. Qmail is configured with dovecot IMAP and users are authenticated with the Red Hat directory Server. I tried to migrate some users from Qmail with auth mechanism as a PLAIN with the plain passwords and migration is successful, but we are having 6000 user mailboxes and users are in LDAP with MD5 encryption. SO, it is a hectic situation to get the plain passwords.
I used the below command to migrate the mailboxes.
imapsync --buffersize 8192000 --subscribe --syncinternaldates --authmech1 PLAIN --host1 sourcehost -user1 <user> --password1 456 --host2 desthost --user2 user@domain --password2 456
So, suggest me how to migrate the user mailboxes, i find one document in the forum
Migrating from Dovecot with External LDAP - Zimbra :: Wiki
In document, it is mentioned to make some changes in dovecot configuration file and i am in dilemma whether it will create any issues after changing any configuration. So, please suggest me to move further.

George Lowe, Member of Everest '53 Team, Dead at 89
George Lowe, part of the Everest summit team with Edmund Hillary in 1953, died on Wednesday. He was the last surviving member of the team.
While Lowe did not climb to the summit, he played a large role in the success of the expedition by ferrying loads up the South Col to support Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay's summit bid.
Lowe was born in New Zealand in 1924 and climbed throughout the Himalaya, including on Cho Oyu, before climbing Everest. He also participated in the first successful land traverse of Antarctica.

Mind transcending matter
INTELLIGENT DESIGN: For a time, cognitive neurophysiology attempted to reduce the mind to brain function. Such a materialist reduction of mind to brain can no longer (in 2025) be reasonably maintained. We've learned that we can control our minds and act responsibly
LOOKING BACK, IT SEEMS INEVITABLE that advances in brain science during the 20th century led almost all people esteemed as "scientifically literate" to believe that eventually all aspects of the human mind would be explained in material terms. After all, in an era when the unquestioned cultural assumption was "for science all causes are material causes," how could one be expected to think differently? What's more, tremendous advances in brain-imaging technologies during the last two decades of that most materialist of centuries enabled scientists to investigate the inner workings of the living human brain. This certainly seemed to further buttress the generally unexamined and often smugly held belief that the deep mysteries of the brain, and the "laws" through which it created and ruled all aspects of the human mind, would someday be revealed.
Thus arose the then virtually hegemonic belief that human beings and everything they do are, like all other aspects of the world of nature, the results of material causes-by which the elites of the time simply meant results of material forces interacting with each other. While primitive, uneducated, and painfully unsophisticated people might be beguiled into believing that they had minds and wills capable of exerting effort and rising above the realm of the merely material, this was just-as Daniel Dennett, a widely respected philosopher of the day, delighted in putting it-an example of a "user illusion": that is, the quaint fantasy of those who failed to realize, due to educational deficiencies or plain thick-headedness, that "a brain was always going to do what it was caused to do by local mechanical disturbances." Were you one of the rubes who believed that people are capable of making free and genuinely moral decisions? Then of course haughty contempt, or at best pity, was the only appropriate demeanor a member of the intellectual elite could possibly direct your way.
On a societal and cultural level the damage such spurious and unwarranted elite opinions wreaked on the world at large was immense. For if everything people do results solely from their brains, and everything the brain does results solely from material causes, then people are no different than any other complicated machine and the brain is no different in principle than any very complex computer. If matter determines all, everything is passive and no one ever really does anything, or to be more precise, no one is really responsible for anything they think, say, or do.
What's more, if anything they think, say, or do causes problems for them or society at large, then, the sophisticates of that thankfully bygone era believed, the ultimate way to solve the problem would be to make the required changes in the brain that would make it work the way a properly functioning machine is supposed to. This naturally led to the widespread use of drugs as a primary means of treating what generally came to be called "behavioral problems."
After all, if the brain is the final cause of everything a person thinks, says, and does, why bother with old-fashioned and outdated notions like "self-control" or even "making your best effort" to solve a problem? If the brain is the ultimate cause underlying all the problems, then the sophisticated thing to do to rectify things is to give a chemical (or even place an electrode!) that gets right in there and fixes things. "God helps those who help themselves?" Not in the real world, where science knows all the answers, sneered the elites of the time.
Happily for the future of humanity, in the early years of the 21st century this all started to change. The reasons why, on a scientific level, grew out of the coming together of some changes in perspective that had occurred in physics and neuroscience during the last decades of the previous century. Specifically, the theory of physics called quantum mechanics was seen to be closely related, especially in humans, to the discovery in brain science called neuroplasticity: the fact that throughout the lifespan the brain is capable of being rewired, and that in humans at least, this rewiring could be caused directly by the action of the mind.
Work using new brain-imaging technologies of that era to study people with a condition called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) played a key role in this development. OCD is a medical condition in which people suffer from very bothersome and intrusive thoughts and feelings that give them the sense that "something is wrong" in their immediate surroundings-usually the thought or feeling that something is dirty or contaminated or needs to be checked because it isn't quite right.
This is what is called an obsession. The problem the medical condition causes is that although the sufferers generally know this feeling that "something is wrong" is false and doesn't really make sense, the feeling keeps bothering them and doesn't go away, due to a brain glitch that was discovered using brain imaging. Sufferers often respond to these gut-wrenching thoughts and feelings by washing, checking, straightening things, etc., over and over again, in a desperate but futile attempt to make things seem right. These futile repetitive acts are called compulsions.
In the 1990s it was discovered that OCD sufferers were very capable of learning how to resist capitulating to these brain-related symptoms by using a mental action called "mindful awareness" when confronting them. In a nutshell, mindful awareness means using your "mind's eye" to view your own inner life and experiences the way you would if you were standing, as it were, outside yourself-most simply put, it means learning to use a rational perspective when viewing your own inner experience.
When OCD patients did this, and as a result came to view the bothersome intrusive thoughts and feelings just as medical symptoms that they had the mental power to resist, they found they were empowered to direct their attention in much more useful and wholesome ways by focusing on healthy and/or work-related activities. Over several weeks, and with much mental effort and faith in their ability to overcome the suffering, many OCD patients were found to be capable of regularly resisting the symptoms.
This greatly strengthened their mental capacity to focus attention on useful wholesome activities and overcome compulsive urges. The major scientific finding that was discovered using brain imaging was that when OCD sufferers used the power of their minds to redirect regularly their focus of attention in wholesome ways, they literally rewired their own brains in precisely the brain circuit that had been discovered to cause the problem.
In the early years of the current century brain imaging was used to reveal many similar and related findings. For instance, people with spider phobia, or people viewing stressful or sexually arousing films, were found to be entirely capable of using mental effort to apply mindful awareness and "re-frame" their perspective on their experience. By so doing it was clearly demonstrated that they could systematically change the response of the brain to these situations and so cease being frightened, stressed, or sexually aroused, whatever the case may be.
This latter finding was realized by some at the time to be potentially relevant to teaching sexual abstinence strategies to adolescents-for if you have the power to control your brain's response to sexual urges, then practicing sexual abstinence in arousing situations will not only strengthen your moral character; it will also increase your mental and physical capacity to control the workings of your own brain-an extremely wholesome and empowering act!
All this work came together when physicist Henry Stapp realized that a basic principle of quantum mechanics, which because of the nature of the brain at the atomic level must be used for proper understanding of the brain's inner workings, explains how the action of the mind changes how the brain works. A well-established mechanism called the quantum zeno effect (QZE) readily explains how mindfully directed attention can alter brain circuitry adaptively. Briefly, we can understand QZE like this: The mental act of focusing attention tends to hold in place brain circuits associated with whatever is focused on. In other words, focusing attention on your mental experience maintains the brain state arising in association with that experience.
If, using mindful awareness, a brain state arises associated with a wholesome perspective, the sustained application of that mindful perspective will literally, because of the QZE mechanism, hold in place the brain circuitry associated with the wholesome process. Of course, the QZE mechanism would be expected to work the same way to hold in place the brain's response to meditation or prayer, and brain-imaging research in the early years of this century demonstrated that to be the case.
The rest, as they say, is history. Once a solid scientific theory was in place to explain how the mind's power to focus attention could systematically rewire the brain, and that the language of our mental and spiritual life is necessary to empower the mind to do so, the materialist dogma was toppled. We may not have all lived happily ever after in any simplistic sense, but at least science is no longer on the side of those who claim human beings are no different in principle than a machine.

Ladies, let's put it this way, if you are ready for sexual incterourse and truly understand the possible outcomes from it, then really it's your choice an no one else's, and it's important not to let other people's view on virginity get you down or make you feel guilty or unhappy, spoken from an educated, 17 year old virgin in a happy relationship.

Toxic shock syndrome is a rare, life-threatening complication of certain types of bacterial infections. Often toxic shock syndrome results from toxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteria, but the condition may also be caused by toxins produced by group A streptococcus (strep) bacteria.
Toxic shock syndrome historically has been associated primarily with the use of superabsorbent tampons. However, since manufacturers pulled certain types of tampons off the market, the incidence of toxic shock syndrome in menstruating women has declined.
Toxic shock syndrome can affect men, children and postmenopausal women. Risk factors for toxic shock syndrome include skin wounds and surgery.

Fernando Verdasco + Andy Roddick shared some lovely MOMA after their entertaining and well played third round match in Montreal.
There was nothing between these two ballers but A-Rod played the key points better and edged out Nando 7-6(2), 4-6, 7-6(5). The American will next face a possibly coach-changing Novak Djokovic in the next round whom he's beaten the last two times they've played.
Me thinks someone may have revenge on the noggin.

UPDATED 10.18.2011 by Julie Montanaro
A former coach and instructional aide at a Tallahassee middle school will avoid prison time and a sex offender label.
Alfred "Trey" Arnold was arrested back in May. He was accused of trying to solicit sex from a 15 year old student at Swift Creek Middle School.
Today Arnold entered a no contest plea to one count of child abuse.
He was sentenced to five years probation and 60 days on the sheriff's work camp. He cannot have contact with children or work with them for the next five years.
UPDATED 5-18 By Candace Sweat
Parents picking their children up from Swift Creek Middle School were uneasy finding out that a trusted employee and coach was arrested.
"I'm sure it scares any parent. You always want to protect your children and you entrust them everyday to come to the school where teachers are supposed to be setting a good example. And this news does not set a good example," said Lisa Monda, whose child attends Swift Creek.
Alfred 'Trey' Arnold, an instructional aide at the school, was arrested and faces felony charges for sending sexually explicit text messages to a 15 year old through her phone.
A spokesperson from Leon County Schools says the district acted swiftly upon hearing the allegations.
"He is being terminated. The information in this case, based on the serious allegations and findings of the case to date, the recommendation of the superintendent is that we move forward with termination," said John Hunker, Chief of Safety.
Still, those with children at the school say it's the kind of information every parent dreads hearing.
"I think it's wrong and I wouldn't want my nephew around anyone who would do anything like that," said Will Carlquist, whose nephew attends Swift Creek.
"I am very shocked. I have not known coach Trey very long personally , but I have heard of him from my students, my children that he's always been very nice," said Monda.
Arnold, known as coach Trey, ran the dentition program and helped coach the athletics programs.
Hunker says Arnold passed a background check before being hired with Leon County Schools.
UPDATED 5.18.2011 6:40pm by Julie Montanaro
Parents are shocked and disappointed as a middle school employee is accused of trying to solicit a student for sex.
Alfred "Trey" Arnold was an instructional aide at Tallahassee's Swift Creek Middle School. Now the 28 year old has been fired and is facing felony charges.
It all started when a 15 year old student told Swift Creek's school resource officer that she had a sexually explicit conversation with instructional aide Alfred "Trey" Arnold and realized that he was the source of a series of text messages on her phone from someone named "Trip."
"She thought that was another child of her age initially and when the suspect actually informed her that he was "Trip," it alarmed her a bit and she went and reported it," said Detective Rob Waller.
Detectives with LCSO's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit examined Arnold's i-phone and laptop computer.
According to arrest papers, one of the messages read: "Look you're older enough to make ur own decision so damn wat everyone else thinks! ... I hope we can keep this out secret no one is to ever find out"
Obviously they did.
"Reviewing those messages, it was obvious to the average reader that the intent on the part of the suspect was to solicit the child for sexual activity," Waller said.
Arnold was an instructional aide at Swift Creek for five years. Co-workers say he was well liked, ran the school's in-school detention program and helped to coach the football and girls basketball teams.
A Leon County Schools spokesman says Arnold was removed from the school and placed on administrative leave the day the accusations were made (May 6) and says Arnold has now been fired.
No one at the school was willing to comment on camera, but we were able to talk with some parents after classes wrapped up for the day.
"I am very shocked. I have not known coach Trey very long personally , but I have heard of him from my students, my children that he's always been very nice," said parent Lisa Monda.
"I don't think he should be allowed in the school system. I don't think anyone that does any of that should be able to work with any type of kids in any school system," said Will Carlquist who was picking up his nephew.
LCSO says right now it doesn't have any indication or any evidence that Arnold tried to lure any other students at the school.
Arnold spent the night in jail and made his first appearance before a judge this morning. He has already been released from jail on a 25-thousand dollar bond. He was ordered to have no contact with the 15 year old girl or any unsupervised contact with children.
Leon County Schools Safety and Security Chief John Hunkiar says Arnold has been with the school system for eight years, first at Buck Lake Elementary and then Swift Creek since 2005.
Hunkiar says the school system did a background check on Arnold when he was hired and it did not uncover anything on his record that would have prevented him from being hired.
[UPDATE] 5-18 Noon -
An instructional aide at Tallahassee's Swift Creek Middle School is not in the classroom today. Instead, he's in the Leon County Jail, accused of trying to solicit sex from a student.
See our interview with Sergeant James McQuaig with the Leon County Sheriff's Office for more.
Tallahassee, Florida - 5-19 -
On May 6, 2011, a Leon County middle school student reported that she had been receiving text messages from someone named "Trip" during school. According to the report, a man was attempting
to get the student to meet him for sexual intercourse. Detectives from the Leon County Sheriff's Office met with the victim and conducted an interview. Detectives also performed an examination of the victim's cell phone to corroborate her statement. The victim informed detectives that Alfred Arnold III, an instructional aid, had called her aside during school and identified himself as "Trip." Arnold, 28, then continued the sexually motivated conversation with the student.
Detectives obtained search warrants for Arnold's I-Phone and his laptop computer. During forensic examinations, they recovered evidence confirming Arnold's involvement in this incident. Detectives also discovered that Arnold had offered the student movie tickets and a tour of the upstairs portion of a local theater while attempting to convince her to meet him away from the school's campus. On May 17, 2011, Alfred Arnold III, 28, was arrested, interviewed and transported to the Leon County Jail.

You're right about the buried lede
What also struck me is that if we're having flubs, accidents and civilian killings with the big Predator drones that only need 19 analysts per drone, how many "accidents" will we have when the sky is buzzing with drones that need 2,000 analysts per?
It's rather like the proliferation of nuclear power technology--the danger is not as much in the hardware as it is in the (human, bureaucratic) system that operates the hardware.
I don't think it is being foily at all to connect the dots between the "insect like drones" and the "inconvenient" popular demonstrations erupting all over the world.
The next "innovation" will be when the corporations who are the developers of this surveillance technology start selling it to the Chinese.

Was the Curve client updated when the download page was down yesterday?
I have been downloading it to various BB 8310s with no problem until yesterday. Now on a new BB, the downloaded program has some odd behavior. When I click the trackball to open a highlighted message, it instead opens the context menu. It might just be a problem with this particular BB, but I wanted to check.
If not a bug in a new version, anyone know what could cause this?

Serena Williams took a break from the Gatorade G2 event in Hollywood yesterday to sit down for a pretty insightful interview with ESPN's Jim Rome for his show "Alone with Rome".
The top lady baller discussed a number of topics including the new G2 campaign that features a "fantabulous" backstory, winning her 10th major in Oz, her rivalry with sister Venus, her upcoming "memoir", and the Dubai controversy including whether she and her sister considered a boycott (she claims timing of the UAE's decision was the biggest factor in not boycotting.)
She also mentions her website, SerenaWilliams.com, is planning a relaunch soon - phew. It surely could use a few botox shots here and there.
My fave quote from the interview: "...when I play [Venus] it's, like, I really want to win. I have to bring my best game and she really has to bring her ultimate best game."
I wonder what V thinks of that observation?

I think I'm the only Serena fan that visits this blog, or at least it feels like it. lol Good interview. She seems really relaxed.ReplyDelete
Pamela: I really good observation actually. There's something about the Williams sisters that is very polarizing, ReRe in particular. I think most tennis fans can objectively appreciate her achievements and give her credit for having the best game on the WTA Tour right now.ReplyDelete
But I think her personality can sometimes grate especially those moments when she seemingly chooses to fault herself solely for her losses and not credit her opponents game.
She's not the best communicator for sure. Venus has a much easier time expressing herself.
But I'm a fan of both of them even though I poke fun at ReRe a lot. How can I help myself when she purposefully gives me so much material?!
Eh, to each his own Rich. It's not really as polarizing as this blog and it's participators make it seem. She or they both have plenty of fans. (I'm not a Venus fan, she's ok though) Personally, I think the negativity is harped on and the good is overlooked, but it is what it is. Especially when I hear others saying the exact same thing, almost verbatim.ReplyDelete
I enjoy a lot of players, and this blog for the perspective that you bring to it. Keep it up. :)
True enough - so where are all their fans? I wonder which sites/blogs they lean towards??
There are a quite a few, but I frequent this blog and one other ..Craighickmanontennis because I like the diversity. Actually, Craig is a Serena fan too. I prefer tennis sites instead of individual fan worship sites. Also, it's rare to find blogs where the members are always respectful eve when they disagree. I like that a lot.ReplyDelete
Oh yes I know his blog - he's been around for a while.ReplyDelete

Hey Pam, I'm a huge Serena fan, I just lurk more than I post. I agree to many do harp on about her negative attributes but rarely or begrudgingly her positive attributes. WTA needs the Williams sisters as they keep newspapers and viewers interested.ReplyDelete
im a venus fan. serena is fun, but venus is the one.:)ReplyDelete
I'm a die hard fan of Venus, i like ReRe. She has tht annoying lil sister thing about her.ReplyDelete
I think these two complement each other quite well. Venus is the cool and composed one, quite eloquent, while ReRe is the crazy one and i bet being the lil sister, she was spoiled as a baby.
Still i love 'em.
And can someone tell me what the hell is Venus doing in Mexico? Isn't mixing clay and hard courts a recipe for a disastrous season?or this is part of the plan for raking up ranking points?
Oh well, im gonna try and trust her judgement on this one.
Jim Rome is so fake!! I wish I was near Serena so I could tell her how he criticized her in 07 when she lost to Henin in USO. Serena is really a cool, humble, easy-going woman. She is probably the easiest celebrity to talk to as a fan. I think that the reason a lot of people don't like her is because there is so much neg. press about her undeservingly. Serena has her errors but she is a very caring individual.ReplyDelete

The Salvation Army needs your help in bringing Christmas cheer to children in need.
The Adopt An Angel program makes opening presents possible for those in Gadsden, Leon and Wakulla counties. The names can be picked up at the Governor's Square Mall. When you pick a name you can buy a gift for a child in that age group. You can also drop your gift off at the same place.
More than 1,500 names are needing to be adopted and the Salvation Army is asking for help in buying those gifts
"Right now, just 400 has been adopted so we are making an appeal to the community to come together with us and adopt the last angels," said Salvation Army Captain Julio Da Silva.
You have another two weeks to help fill need for presents this holiday season.
