USPS introduces Parcel Select Regional Ground service
April 22, 2011
The United States Postal Service (USPS) announced this week it has introduced a new regional ground service for commercial shippers looking for an "economical solution for delivery of small packages.
Entitled, Parcel Select Regional Ground, USPS officials said this service offers competitive pricing for high-volume business-to-consumer shippers and provides an "attractive value proposition for delivery of small packages within short-range destinations…[and] provide big savings for qualified commercial shippers."
In order to take advantage of Parcel Select Regional Ground, the USPS said that shippers must have a customer commitment agreement with the USPS and meet annual volume commitments of 10,000 mailpieces, with each piece weighing 5 pounds or less and measure 0.35 cubic foot or less, as well as be machineable and use an Intelligent Mail package barcode or Confirmation Services barcode.
"This new service is designed as a solution for e-commerce merchants looking to boost sales by offering free or discounted shipping charges for online purchases," said Gary Reblin, USPS vice president, Domestic Products, in a statement. "It has tremendous appeal for commercial shippers requiring a cost-effective ground service for delivery of packages over shorter distances."
An industry analyst told LM that this new offering is designed to compete with the fact that for transactions moving to the short-haul—zone 2, 3, or 4—FedEx and UPS now offer guaranteed two-day delivery via their normal ground products.
"The normal solution for the USPS would be priority mail which is not guaranteed and it marketed as a – to-3 day service," said Jerry Hempstead, principal of Hempstead Consulting. "The focus still appears to be the small to medium sized shipper who has little or no discount with Fedex and UPS for their ground shipping."
Illustrating an example, Hemsptead said if you take a traditional 5 pound shipment moving to a zone 3 and add the May 2011 fuel surcharge to the FedEx base tariff, the price is $7.68, whereas by using the new regional box offering from USPS, it would cost $6.88. He added that if a shipper has a 25% discount with a commercial carrier for ground then the shipper is going to be charged the minimum plus fuel of $6.09, which is significantly less than the USPS.
The benefits of the USPS product like its other flat rate products is its simplicity," said Hempstead. "If it fits, it ships and you know exactly what the cost will be. Additionally the USPS is providing free packaging which is a savings to the shipper, the negative apart from the fact that it may be more expensive to a commercial shipper than a commercial carrier is that the service is not guaranteed. The USPS has had great success with the flat rate priority mail service and this is just a logical extension to attempt to compete with the commercial carriers for short haul shipments that don't have to transit on an aircraft."
Doug Kahl, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, at TranzAct Technologies, said that historically the Parcel Select product has been for high volume shippers who can effectively drop into USPS destination facilities.
Parcel Select Regional Ground, he said, is designed to put smaller volume shippers into play. A 10,000 annual volume commitment works out to about 40 packages per day. The region footprint covers the local zone through zone 3, that should roughly cover up to 300 miles. And entry is based on origin, not destination facility.
"The next step for lower volume, regional shippers would be to contact their Postal Business Representative to confirm if there is a designated origin facility in their area," said Kahl.

WASHINGTON – Regardless of the time of day, roadwork in the region can be a headache, but this weekend drivers are in for a big challenge on Interstate 66 and the Fairfax County Parkway.
Starting at 10 p.m. Friday and lasting through the weekend, the ramps from eastbound and westbound I-66 to the southbound Fairfax County Parkway will be closed for a paving project.
In addition, the southbound parkway will be reduced to one lane in the area.
The work is all part of the larger, $69.5 million interchange project at Fair Lakes and the Fairfax County Parkway.
The Virginia Department of Transportation will likely have detours posted.
The entire project is expected to be completed next year.
More information is available from VDOT.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA9/ AP) - A Prince George's County man was sentenced for his role in a 2011 robbery and murder on Wednesday.
Kelvin Walker of Fort Washington was sentenced to life plus 20 years Wednesday morning in Prince George's County Circuit Court. Walker will serve at least 35 years before he becomes eligible for parole. Due to his life sentence, the governor would have to sign off on his release.
The 24-year-old Walker was convicted in July of killing 17-year-old Justin Isaacs on the doorsteps of his home, then stealing a gold chain and money.
The gun had been stolen from the car of an off-duty police officer that was parked at the Springfield Metro station two days earlier.
Prosecutors say Walker bragged to associates that he killed the teenager to prove that he was a killer.
Tyrone Lewis was an accomplice in the crime, say authorities. Lewis was convicted two weeks ago of murdering Lenny Harris, whom he kidnapped and robbed in an attempt to raise bail money for Walker when Walker was incarcerated in Charles County on an unrelated charge, according to authorities.

Ok, so I think I have solved most of the mapping problems. I ended up using the method derived by T.I here: http://somedayspace.blogspot.com.au/...ction-and.html.
After testing formulas in MALTAB I got promising results:
I then converted to a function in C and tested. I seem to be very close now; there is just some detracting distortion where the image is joined along the date line:
I the problem (at least I think) is due to the wrapping of texture coordinates. I have tried to illustrate the problem in the figure below. The program is currently mapping from A-->B so the sector has a compressed version of nearly the entire map; what we want is to map from A to the right wrapping to B. In OpenGL I think this can be achieved by enabling GL_REPEAT and simple using that B'=B+1 to get the correct texture response.
I added a check:
but this only fixed them problem from one of the polar aspects.Code:if (p_d[n].u < p_d[n-1].u) p_d[n].u += 1;
Let me know if you have any ideas on hot to fix this. Here is a link to the program I have so far: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49415695/Des...ry.close%5D.7z if it helps diagnose (or if you just want a look).
You will need the data folder with the image (and maybe some dll files I haven't included). The arrow keys control the centre of the projection, 't' toggles the texture, 'up-pg' 'dn-pg' zoom in and out.

Libyan rebels have captured Saif al-Islam, the eldest son of leader Muammar Gaddafi, the International Criminal Court has confirmed.
The capture comes as fighters advance on the capital Tripoli, suggesting an end to Gaddafi's 40-year rule is coming to an end.
The dictator's eldest son, Mohammed al Gaddafi, is also reported to be under house arrest and another son Saadi is said to be in custody.
Al Jazeera has exclusive video of Libyan rebels ambushing Gaddafi loyalists at a checkpoint. According to the news outlet, "this Al Jazeera Exclusive footage gives an inside view of the struggle as the fighters push towards Sirte, the last stronghold of Gaddafi."
Video below (via Al Jazeera):
CNN reports:
Muneer Masoud Own, 33, who made a living doing manual labor, said forces loyal to longtime Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi slaughtered nearly 150 prisoners as rebels closed in on Tripoli last week.
Charred bodies littered the ground around a warehouse -- roughly 30 feet by 45 feet -- where the detainees were kept. A volunteer who helped remove them, Bashir Own, estimated that he had seen about 150 bodies. He is not related to Muneer Own, who said he barely escaped an ordeal that started about a month ago.

Al Jazeera's James Bays filed a dazzling report from Libya on the situation of African migrants in the embattled country. Migrants claim to be assaulted and are locked up in prisons until rebel fighters made sure they did not work as mercenaries for the Gaddafi regime.
Watch Bays' report here:
The rebel commander in Tripoli Al Mahdi Al Haraqi told Reuters that he had confirmation that Khamis Gaddafi has been killed in a clash near Ben Walid.
Reuters writes:
He was taken to a hospital but died of his wounds and was buried in the area, Al-Haragi said, without giving the timing. No independent confirmation of the death was available.
A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters the United States could not yet independently confirm Khamis' death but said similar information was being received in Washington from "reliable sources."
Rebels claimed twice before Khamis Gaddafi was killed.
Libya's National Transitional Council reacted strongly on the message that relatives of Gaddafi would have arrived in Algeria, Reuters reports.
A spokesperson for the NTC said it considers sheltering members of Gaddafi's family an act of aggression.
"We have promised to provide a just trial to all those criminals and therefore we consider this an act of aggression," spokesman Mahmoud Shamman told Reuters.
"We are warning anybody not to shelter Gaddafi and his sons. We are going after them in any place to find them and arrest them," he said.

Reuters reports Khamis Gaddafi, the Colonel's infamous ... son, may be next to be places on the ICC's most wanted list. The International Criminal Court earlier approved warrants for Gaddafi and his son Saif al-Islam.
ICC prosecutor Luis-Moreno Ocampo told Reuters in an interview that "Khamis should also be prosecuted because Khamis was the commander of the brigade that was more active on some of the crimes."
Official reportedly confirm three of Gaddafi's sons, his daughter and wife have arrived in Algeria.
From the Associated Press:
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — The chairman of the African Union says Libyan rebels may be indiscriminately killing black people in Libya because they have confused innocent migrant workers with mercenaries.
Chairman Jean Ping told reporters Monday that this is one of the reasons the AU is refusing to recognize the National Transitional Council as the country's interim government.
He said "We need clarification because the NTC seems to confuse black people with mercenaries .... They are killing normal workers."
Libya's rebel National Transitional Council appears to have secured Libya's capital after a week of fierce fighting with loyalists to Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
He said there was no doubt the council now controlled the capital city and called on both sides to "stop the killing."
Libyan rebels captured Gaddafi's personal 'Afriqiyah Airbus' in Tripoli.
Libyan rebels leave Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi's 'Afriqiyah One' Airbus A340 plane at Tripoli airport on August 29, 2011.
The tribe of Abdel Fattah Younes said it will take justice into their own hands if rebel leaders do not identify the commander's killers, Reuters reports. "After Eid, that is the final deadline," Tarek, one of Younes' sons said in an interview with Reuters.
Abdel Fattah Younes was killed on July 28 after he was summoned by rebel leaders for questioning. Libyan authorities identified two people who allegedly carried out the assassination, but head of the NTC Mustafa Abdel Jalil had told reporters on Wednesday the suspected killers would be arrested "when the higher interests of this revolution will not be damaged."
Al Jazeera reporters in Tripoli said rebels have surrounded Gaddafi's hometown Sirte. The main push in the battle for Sirte is expected to come from the east, the channel reports.
Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel Hamid reported from the eastern front near Sirte that rebels are holding off attacks, as they want to give tribal leaders in the city time to negotiations.
Andrew Simons, on the western front near the city, reported small fights between rebels and Gaddafi loyalists.
On Monday, NATO intensified airstrikes on Sirte.

A leaked United Nations report proposes elections in Libya within nine months, Al Jazeera reports. The UN would be looking to send a small contingent of 'Blue Barrets' to the country, if requested by the Libyan authorities and authorized by the Security Council.
"If requested by the Libyans and authorized by the Council, the UN could contribute to confidence-building and to the implementation of agreed military tasks, through unarmed UN military observer (UNMOs)," Al Jazeera quotes the document.

France reopened its embassy in Libya, a spokesperson for the French foreign ministry said. France had closed the embassy six months ago.
Libyan rebels asked NATO to keep up pressure on the Gaddafi regime. The Associated Press reports NTC head Mustafa Abdul Jalil told a NATO delegation that former regime supporters who are now in hiding could still cause trouble.
"Gaddafi is still capable is doing something awful in the last moments," Abdul-Jalil said.

An Iranian newspaper wrote on Sunday that foreign minister Ali Akbar Salehi claimed Iran "discreetly" provided humanitarian aid to rebels in Libya.
According to AFP the minister told the newspaper that Iran was "in touch with many of the rebel groups in Libya before the fall of (Moamer) Gaddafi, and discreetly dispatched three or four food and medical consignments to Benghazi."
The minister also said the head of the NTC sent a letter to Teheran, thanking Iranian president Ahmedinejad for his help.
AFP reports Libyan rebels have freed more than 10,000 prisoners since they captured Tripoli. 50,000 prisoners would still be missing.
Ahmed Omar Bani, a spokesperson for the rebels, told reporters during a press conference that between 57,000 and 60,000 people have been arrested over the past months.
Libyan rebels declined an offer by Muammar Gaddafi to negotiate, saying they do not recognize him and are looking for Gaddafi as a criminal.
On Saturday, a spokesman for Gaddafi had offered the rebels by phone to start talks lead by Gaddafi's son Saadi.
Mahmoud Shamman, the NTC's information minister said in a news conference:
"I would like to state very clearly, we don't recognize them. We are looking at them as criminals. We are going to arrest them very soon .. Talking about negotiations is a daydream for what remains of the dictatorship."
Al Jazeera English has more on the latest overtures from the Gaddafi camp:
Moussa Ibrahim, the spokesperson for Muammar Gaddafi, has reportedly told the Associated Press news agency that the Libyan leader is ready to negotiate with the rebels to form a transitional government.
Ibrahim called AP headquarters in New York late on Saturday, and told them he was calling from Tripoli, the Libyan capital, and that Gaddafi was still in Libya.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is similar to fat. There are different types of cholesterol including:
tests measure the levels of cholesterol in the blood. They can measure the amount of HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and your total cholesterol levels. Your doctor may use a test called the lipid profile test. This test measures the cholesterol levels plus triglycerides.
are a type of fat or lipid in the blood.
This test is done to measure the levels of cholesterol in the blood. Abnormal levels of cholesterol are linked to an increased risk of plaque formation in blood vessels. This plaque formation can lead to
heart attacks
strokes. Your doctor will use these results to estimate your risk of heart disease. For example:
There are no major complications associated with this test.
Steps to take before the test depend on the test you are having. For example:
You will be asked to sit. An area inside your elbow will be cleaned with an antiseptic wipe. A large band will be tied around your arm. The needle will then be inserted into a vein. A tube will collect the blood from the needle. The band on your arm will be removed. Once all the blood is collected, the needle will be removed. Some gauze will be placed over the site to help stop bleeding. You may also be given a bandage to place over the site. The process takes about 5-10 minutes.
After the blood sample is collected, you may need to stay seated for 10-15 minutes. If you are lightheaded, you may need to stay seated longer. Once you feel better, you can leave. After the blood draw, you may have pain, swelling, bruising, and bleeding.
A few minutes.
It may hurt slightly when the needle is inserted.
Talk to your doctor about your test results. Your doctor may recommend more testing done depending on your test results.
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs:

Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) is highly imperative for enhanced communication in noisy environments such as a car or a conference room. In this work, we present a dual-structured AEC architecture that improves both the convergence time and misadjustment of a conventional adaptive subband AEC algorithm in high noise environments. In this architecture, one part performs smooth adaptation while the other part performs fast adaptation; a convergence detector is implemented to facilitate switching between the fast and smooth adaptations. We propose the momentum normalized least mean square (MNLMS) algorithm for smooth adaptation and we implement the NLMS algorithm for fast adaptation. The current architecture provides up to 3-4 dB echo reduction improvement over a conventional adaptive subband AEC algorithm and it helps minimize near-end distortion and artifacts in the post-processed AEC output.

To the editor:
In response to Neil Nissenbaum�s March 14 letter headlined, �Would Christian books also need �balancing?� in which he also mentioned the dark side of Christianity, I would only add the following. True slavery is still practiced in the world today � not slavery of the mind but true physical slavery of one human being having ownership of another human being and, for the most part, it�s taking place in the Muslim world.
It�s well documented that many people from Third World countries find employment in places such as Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich nations of the Middle East.
It�s also well documented that many of these innocent people are held in bondage by their employers and abused in many ways. Their passports are confiscated and they are forced to work for a pittance, literally as slaves until they are able to work off any debt they may have incurred as part of their so-called employment. Women are often sexually abused and raped by their so-called employers in Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations, and there is no recourse for them.
Nissenbaum quoted Elizabeth Cady Stanton as stating, �The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks on the way of women�s emancipation.� Stanton passed on over 110 years ago and everyone reading Nissenbaum�s letter should Google �Stanton� to put her comments in perspective and to see some of the other things she had to say about giving African-American men the right to vote.
I have never read any letters from Nissenbaum addressing the plight of women in the Muslim world or letters concerning the way Islam treats women under Sharia law or so-called women�s rights � or lack thereof �throughout the Islamic world. Perhaps he should mention stoning and hanging as punishment still used today in Islam for adultery or the fact that a woman must have multiple male witnesses to her rape in order to bring charges against her attacker.
Perhaps forced female circumcision also practiced today in Muslim cultures should be mentioned as well as so-called honor killings. Men killing their daughters or other female family members for bringing some perceived disgrace or dishonor upon their family.
I wonder if Nissenbaum ever considered the dark side of Islam�s heritage and the plight of women and Christian minorities in many parts of the world before throwing stones at the actions of Walter Jones when he requested �balance� from the Craven Community College in its treatment of our nation�s Judeo-Christian heritage.
Christianity has seen many dark days in the history of mankind. And though the Bible speaks of stoning, the only place I am aware of where it still occurs is in the Muslim world under Islamic Sharia law.
If the books in question had been �Christian� books, there would have been no need for balance. Balance already exists in America. Muslim�s can practice their religion freely in this country, worship as they please, proselytize and convert others to their religion and generally enjoy the same rights we all have when it comes to freedom of, or freedom from, religion.
Page 2 of 2 - Is Nissenbaum really interested in �balance?� That is the question.

Research Interests
- Central Mechanisms in the Regulation of Energy Balance
- Disease Applications: Type 1 and 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Induced Hypoglycemia, Hypoglycemia-Associated-Autonomic-Failure, Obesity, Disease-related Anorexia and/or Cachexia
- Our overall hypothesis is that the maintenance of energy balance is a critical function of the brain. We are particularly interested in specialized "glucose sensing" neurons which sense and respond to nutrient (i.e., glucose, lactate, fatty acids) and hormonal (i.e., insulin, leptin) changes in the extracellular milieu of the brain. While glucose sensing neurons exist in many regions of the brain, we primarily focus on understanding the mechanisms underlying the regulation of the glucose sensitivity of hypothalamic glucose sensing neurons. There are two types of hypothalamic glucose sensing neurons. Glucose-excited (GE) neurons decrease while glucose-inhibited (GI) neurons increase their action potential frequency as extracellular glucose decreases. Like pancreatic beta cells, decreased glucose opens an ATP-sensitive potassium channel and inhibits GE neurons. In contrast, decreased glucose activates an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway in GI neurons which closes a chloride channel leading to depolarization and activation.
- We believe that GE and GI neurons evolved to sense energy and/or glucose deficit such as that seen during a severe fast. Under fasting conditions they are part of a neuronal circuitry which compensates for energy deficit by activating energy conserving processes and inhibiting energy consuming processes. In so doing, GE and GI neurons ensure that the brain has an adequate glucose supply for normal function. This system clearly fails during disease (e.g., cancer) related anorexia cachexia. We also believe that GE and GI neurons play an important role in restoring blood glucose levels following the modern problem of iatrogenic insulin-induced hypoglycemia in patients with Type 1 and advanced Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Moreover, an inability of GE and GI neurons to sense decreased glucose is associated with an impaired ability of the brain to restore euglycemia during hypoglycemia associated autonomic failure, a major side effect of insulin therapy during diabetes.
- At the present time, there are 3 major areas of research in our laboratory which investigates dysfunctional glucose sensing by GE and GI neurons during the following disease-related abnormalities in whole body energy and/or glucose homeostasis:
- 1. Hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure (HAAF). Insulin therapy in patients with Type 1 or advanced Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is required to prevent complications of hyperglycemia. However, intensive insulin therapy has a severe side effect: hypoglycemia. Unfortunately, even one episode of hypoglycemia can impair the ability of the brain to sense hypoglycemia and initiate corrective mechanisms to restore blood glucose levels, a condition known as HAAF. We have found that the ability of glucose sensing neurons to sense glucose deficit is also impaired in an animal model of HAAF. This may be due, in part, to nitric oxide resistance in GI neurons as a result of increased oxidative stress during hypoglycemia.
- 2. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Obesity . The satiety hormones, insulin and leptin, prevent GE and GI neurons, respectively, from responding to small glucose decreases. We believe that this prevents the activation of strong compensatory metabolic circuits in response to decreases in glucose seen between meals. However, glucose sensing neurons become sensitized to decreased glucose under conditions where insulin and leptin levels are low (e.g., fasting) or as a result of insulin resistance during T2DM. We hypothesize that increased sensitivity of glucose sensing to small daily decreases in glucose may lead to signals of energy and/or glucose deficit in the presence of energy sufficiency or even excess. Such changes in glucose sensitivity may lead to activation of mechanisms which favor energy storage over expenditure and exacerbate obesity and diabetes.
- 3. Disease-related anorexia cachexia . This new project in our laboratory tests the hypothesis that the sensitivity of glucose sensing neurons to glucose deficit becomes impaired in diseases associated with anorexia and cachexia (e.g., inflammation, cancer). Such a change in glucose sensitivity would lead to the opposite effect as that described above. Under these conditions, glucose decreases would not be detected and compensatory mechanisms would not be initiated even under conditions of severe energy deficit. Our data using models of sepsis and cancer anorexia are consistent with this hypothesis.
- In order to address these issues we use a variety of in vivo and in vitro techniques including electrophysiology (patch clamp) in brain slices and isolated neurons, microscopy/imaging in primary hypothalamic cultures, hypothalamic peptide release, stereotaxic surgery and hyperinsulinemic/hypoglycemic clamps in vivo , as well as standard immunohistochemical, biochemical and molecular techniques.

With the 138th Map of the Week we take a look at the village of Desert's End in the southwestern corner of Grainland County.
Key to the Map of Desert's End
Low Village:
4. Distant Trails Trading Office. The coster is based in Mine Docks. Exactly who or what owns the company is unknown, but it seems certain to most that the River Count Arnot has a substantial interest in it. He does, in fact, own it. Pavla, a 42-year-old human female merchant who fled from Windland, is the station manager. She employs a bookkeeper, a human male merchant; six guards, all human male and female warriors and fighters, and two laborers and two stable workers, all human male and female commoners. She and her employees live in upper story apartments in the High Village.
5. Distant Trails Trading Warehouse.
6. Josef's Horse Lots - Ruin. Josef, a young human male merchant from Mine Docks, tried to sell horses in Desert's End, but he went broke several years ago and headed on to points unknown. These are the remnants of his operation.
7. Last Tankard Inn. The village's only hostelry is a dump of the first order, but it still is the only hostelry. Potential guests have to live with it, at least in a monsoon when camping is out. It's not a money-losing business, but it won't make the landlord Kapar rich either. A few years ago, lightning struck the inn's brewhouse and burned it down. Before the fire, the dark ale of the Last Tankard's alewife was generally considered to be superior in quality to the light ale of the club. However, shortly after the fire, the club's alewife resigned and the former Last Tankard alewife, Markéta, a 56-year-old human female artisan, was hired to replace her. She now brews what had been dark Last Tankard ale in the club's brewhouse, and Kapar buys it and serves it in the inn. Meals in the Last Tankard usually are a matter of fresh fish and smoked and cured meats and sausages served with potatoes and some regional tropical fruit. The food isn't bad, but it isn't particularly good either. Entrées run from 3 to 6 bronze pieces. Breakfast, included with the room fee and available only to guests, is a matter of baked goods, butter or lard and a few slices of smoked sausage. To cut costs, Kapar tore out the 2nd story guests rooms several years ago and now has only an open sleeping bay. A bed costs 3 bronze pieces nightly. When guests inquire about a bath, he points them to the millstream. Kapar personally prepares cold breakfasts for his guests. For the other meals, he has a cook, a human male craftsman. He also employs two waitresses and a cleaning lady, all human female commoners. The amount of business varies with the number of transients in town. The complex has a double-seater outhouse but no indoor jakes. Kapar lives in his own private room in the inn. His employees live in apartments in the High Village.
8. Last Tankard Brewhouse - Ruin.
9. Windland Overland Office. Little is known about this trading company, nor has anyone asked a lot of questions. It claims to be based in the small coastal town of Dark Mountains in northwestern Windland. Windland Overland does both honest and dishonest business in Slovania. On the honest side, it is one of the main transporters of goods between Slovania and Windland. On the shadier side, it's one of the big customers of Distant Trails Trading for forbidden wares from the North Kingdom. Windland Overland once did its own contraband runs between the North Kingdom and Slovania. The station manager is Denisa, a 56-year-old human female merchant. She employs a bookkeeper, a human male merchant; eight guards, all human male and female warriors and fighters, and three laborers and three stable workers, all human male and female commoners. She and all of her employees live in the coster's main building in the High Village.
10. Windland Overland Warehouses.
11. Marketplace. Anyone may set up a sales tent or stand here, but in practice, few do. There are no permits or fees required.
12. Camping Grounds. As long as there's no monsoon rain, many transients prefer a night under the stars to a night in the inn. Anyone may use the campground at no cost. Several campfire pits have been set up, and there are hitching posts for horses.
13. Royal Trading Co. Office. Slovania's largest trading company is the smallest in Desert's End. Royal Trading does only domestic business. Its only role in Desert's End is to deliver some of the goods locals need. Despite its name, the company belongs to neither the king nor the crown. Instead, it is a national transportation operation jointly controlled by the crown, the four counties and the Border March, with the king, the burgomaster, the counts and the margrave all having a say in its dealings. The station manager is Ctirad, a 50-year-old human male merchant. He employs a bookkeeper, a human male merchant; four guards, all human male and female warriors and fighters, two laborers and two stable workers, all human male and female commoners. He and his employees live in upper story apartments in the High Village.
14. Royal Trading Co. Warehouse.
High Village:
1. Desert Corn Mill. Master Miller Teodor, a 44-year-old human male artisan and refugee from Windland, softened his somewhat hard lot by going to unusual working hours. He begins grinding his grain in the evening after the night coolness begins to come in and delivers flour and vegetable oil to Baker Bořek (Location No.23) at about 4 bells (4 a.m.). His day begins then and lasts til noon, when he gets seven hours sleep while main heat sets in. Teodor also employs a journeyman baker who fled from Windland. The latter lives in an apartment in the High Village. Teodor lives in an apartment above the mill.
2. Millstream.
3. Fjörm River. The Fjörm flows about 100 feet/30 m wide, equally deep and very rapidly through the village. The river is unsafe for boats. Anyone falling into the water will be swept downstream rapidly and is in grave danger of downing.
15. Fjörm-Storming Pool. The turbulent waters, sometimes nearly a small whirpool, are caused by the powerful and fast-moving waters of the Fjörm and River Storming meeting at the confluence.
16. River Storming. The r flows about 80 feet/25 m wide and deep and very rapidly through the village. The river is unsafe for boats. Anyone falling into the water will be swept downstream rapidly and is in grave danger of downing.
17. Garrison. Some 100 soldiers, many of them refugees from Windland, are stationed here, but about only a third of them are in the garrison at any given time. Some 40 soldiers are stationed at the Equatorial Gate 30 miles/50 km southeast of Desert's End, where the Kingdom of Slovania ends, the western leg of the Muspell Desert begins and the Windland Trail disappears into the unclaimed no man's land between the desert and the Midworld Mountains. The garrison complex includes, from west to east, a horse stall at the foot of the Fjörm bridge and a mess hall and woodshed on the River Storming shore. The main building is south of them on the Fjörm shore.
18. Tailor Medard. Master Tailor Medard, a 56-year-old human artisan, sews the new clothing in Desert's End, and he also repairs damaged apparel. He makes clothing in all price and quality categories and also is responsible for clothing the village watch and the military garrison. He fled Windland with two journeymen, both human male and female craftsmen, who still continue to work with them. All three live in rooms above the tailor shop.
19. Cobbler Doubravka. Doubravka, a 50-year-old human female artisan, also is a refugee from Windland who took a journeyman with her and gained another after arriving and taking over the cobbler shop. Both journeymen are human male and female craftsmen. They are the sole suppliers of shoes and boots and repairers of both in the village. They also supply the watch and the garrison with shoes and boots. The three live in rooms above the cobbler shop.
20. Butcher Vít. When Vít, a 36-year-old human male artisan, became aware that the town watch in his native tráznice wanted to ask him questions that he had no desire to answer, he packed together his wealth and skipped town, intending to get far away. He thought Windland might be far enough. By the time he had reached Desert's End, he had become rather tired of running and thought it might be far enough too. He became convinced of that when he heard that the local butcher had saved his money, closed his shop and migrated northwards without a successor. When Vít inquired, he learned that the baroness would deed it to him at no fee if he agreed to run it for at least seven years. He employs the two journeymen, both human male and female craftsmen, and the saleswoman, a human female commoner, who worked for his predecssor. Twice yearly he slaughters and butchers cattle and sheep driven to town from the range lands south of the village. He also gets shipments of slaughtered but not yet butchered meat from the nearby River Storming valley east of town. In addition to meats, Vít also buys, cleans and sells freshwater fish that local fishermen bring in from the lake north of town. He sells fish fresh and smoked. He sells some fresh meat when he has it, but most of his meat is made into smoked or cured cuts and sausages.
21. Village Hall. This is a formidable six-story structure that also houses the village watch and all village employees. With the Barony of Desert's End having a relatively low population, Burgomaster Krytof, a 33-year-old human male merchant, devotes his time and energy mostly to administration, leaving matters of rule with Baroness Jana. Administration in Desert's End is mostly a matter of seeing that things in the High Village are maintained and kept working. Less attention is paid to affairs in the Low Village. It's also Krytof's job to see that taxes owed within the village are collected. He employs a clerk-bookkeeper, a human female merchant; three tax collectors, human male and female merchants, and a stable tender and two laborers, all human male and female commoners. Krytof lives in a small apartment on the ground floor of the village hall. The other employees live in third and fourth story apartments in the hall. The cellar level contains a storage area and houses the city jail. The second story is the headquarters of the village watch, and it also houses the apartment of the commander, Captain Rudolf, a 29-year-old human male warrior. The fifth and sixth stories house the watch members.
22. Fjörm Tower. The 30-foot/9-m high tower is manned at all times by three guards from the village watch. The guards carefully control those who cross the bridge. From 8 to 19 bells (8 a.m. to 7 p.m.), permanent residents and trusted transients simply are waved on. The village has few enough permanent residents that the guards can recognize them. All others are allowed to enter only after checking their weapons and magic wands, staffs and the like. They also are allowed to go through the High Village in groups no larger than three in number. If the watch has doubts about some transients, it may detain them until additional watch members arrive from village hall to accompany them. The guards all are human male and female warriors and fighters. Only permanent residents may pass from 19 to 8 bells (7 p.m. to 8 a.m.)
23. Baker Bořek. Master baker Bořek, a 49-year-old human male refugee artisan from Windland, goes downstairs into the bakery half an hour after 3 bells (3:30 a.m.) and fires his ovens. At 4 bells (4 a.m.), Miller Teodor (Location No. 1) delivers Bořek's flour, and he begins baking. At 7 bells (7 a.m.) Bořek loads his wagon and delivers fresh baked goods to the High Village Club (Location No. 26) and the Last Tankard Inn (Location No. 7). For the latter delivery, he always is accompanied by two members of the village watch, to assure that no drunken guests of the inn make trouble. Before 8 bells (8 a.m.), he usually is back at the bakery, opening it to street customers. He spends the morning shutting down the ovens, cleaning up his work area and runniung his shop, until 11 bells (11 a.m.), when he closes for the day. He usually sleeps away the hot period until 19 bells (7 p.m.), when he goes to the High Village Club for an evening meal and an hour or two of socializing. After that he returns to apartment above the bakery and spends five or six hours on his hobby, woodcarving. His work with wood is little known in Desert's End. He sells it to interested peddlers and caravan merchants, who resell it at disant points. Shortly before 3 bells, Bořek makes his second of two daily meals and prepares then for the new workday. Villagers consider Bořek to be something of a miser because he employs no one. That also is a problem for the village on those rare days when Bořek is ill and Desert's End must do without fresh bakery.
24. Baronial Castle Complex. This is a rather simple country castle complex consisting of a main building, a wizard's tower, a riding stable and a woodshed. That notwithstanding, it still is too big for the needs of a baron or baroness without family and the administration of a small barony. Baroness Jana, a 47-year-old human female seer, lives in an apartment that takes up the northwestern half of the second story. Her court mage, the 48-year-old human female wizardess Iva, occupies the tower. Few of the transient groups that pass through Desert's End command any significant amount of magic. Jana and Iva, on the other hand, are quite experienced in their arts. Jana divided the southeastern half of the second story into two apartments that she rents to Alena, the 42-year-old human female merchant who manages the High Village Club, and Irma, the 44-year-old human female healer who is the apothecary in the Healing Apothecary (Location No. 27). The baronial administration is on the ground floor along with the well-guarded and armored baronial treasury. The cellar is a little used but often inspected storage area. The baroness employs a bookkeeper, a human female merchant; two clerks, human male and female commoners, and two laborers, also human male and female commoners.
25. River Smithy. Master Blacksmith Even, a 42-year-old human male artisan, also is a refugee from Windland who works alone. Before fleeing, Even did nothing but standard blacksmith's work, which he does quite well. He still has no desire to do other work. When he thinks there's no other good choice, he sometimes agrees reluctantly to fix a broken piece of armor or a broken weapon, if they are of no more than run-of-the-mill quality, but he refuses to put his hammer to weapons or armor of a better grade. Even lives in an apartment above the smithy.
26. High Village Club. Desert's End's private tavern and restaurant, where the locals go and no one else is allowed, is owned by the barony and therefore under the control of Baroness Jana. However, she has little to do with the club. As manager, she employs Alena, a 42-year-old human female merchant from Windland, who makes all of the club's decisions. By local standards, the club is a luxury house. By national standards, it leaves wishes open. Alena has furnished the club well, and locals are enthused over the dark house ale, brewed by its alewife, Markéta, a 56-year-old human female artisan. The weak point is the food. The house cook, Oleg, a 37-year-old artisan and master from Windland makes the best he can of the raw materials available him, but they're very limited. Only from time to time can the butcher Vít deliver fresh meat, although he does deliver top quality fresh tropical fish daily. Except for storage crops, fresh vegetables are infrequent. Highly perishable produce never comes to Desert's End. Locals don't complain. Despite the shortage of top ingredients, Oleg always serves better meals than customers expect, and they eat his cooking daily. Breakfasts cost a bronze piece. Noon and evening meals run between 4 bronze pieces and a silver piece. Markéta's ale costs three copper pieces per pint/half-liter tankard.
27. Healing Apothecary. This house of healing is owned Věroslav, a 60-year-old apothecary healer who is one of the few Slovania natives in Desert's End. He not only is willing to tolerate the heat and humidity that plague the village. He is is almost fanatically enthusiastic over what he believes to be the probable pharmaceutical properties in the venom of snakes, scorpions and the like in the wilderness beyond town. Věroslav has, indeed, developed both medicines and poison antidotes from venom that are effective. Most of the time, Věroslav's assistant apothecary, Marián, a 40-year-old human male healer from Windland, is in charge of the shop. Věroslav spends at least half of his time in the wildness, along with his expeditionary aides, fellow apothecary Heřman, a 38-year-old human male healer-warrior, and Liběna, a 41-year-old human female scout. Three apothecaries and two patient healers work in the house of healing. The latter are Irma, a 44-year-old human female healer, and her assistant, Lumír, a 29-year-old human male healer. The apothecaries include team leader Marián as well as David and Brigitia, both 29-year-old human male and female healers..
28. General Store. This operation is run by the Windland Overland Trading Co. It includes a wide variety of the items that High Villagers seek, including non-meat imported food items, and it sells both domestic wares and imports from Windland. It also makes sales to transients, but it offers only the most basic items that they might need. The current store manager is Nikol, a 35-year-old human female merchant from Windland. She employs two salespersons and a laborer, all human male and female commoners from Windland. None are refugees. All were employed previously by Windland Overland at home. All of the store's employees and also all 16 employees of the coster's station in the Low Village (Locations Nos. 9 and 10) live in apartments on the upper levels of the four-story store building. All continue to be burghers of Windland, but they are accorded the full rights of permanent residents as long as they live in the village.
27. Southgate. This is a well-armed gate intended to control who leaves town. Transients have a bent for skipping town and leaving affairs open here. The gate is opened to outgoing traffic only from 9 bells to 19 bells (9 .m. to 7 p.m.). Locals can make complaints as transients depart, and some do.

Dan Zarrella will tell you that successful use cases of social media don't involve rainbows. Nor do they involve unicorns, the ROI of putting pants on or even routinely good ideas. Successful companies and people know that good ideas don't always translate to memes, either. But success in social media or blogging or anywhere on the web doesn't have to be guesswork. Social media is a great place to test to see what works best.

IATA survey demonstrates renewed confidence
July 21, 2010
Following its promising forecast made last month, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) is reporting a significant surge in air cargo demand. The future appears to be particularly promising in the Asia Pacific market.
Results from IATA's quarterly survey conducted this month also indicate a further improvement in airline business confidence, said spokesmen. Survey respondents comprised airline CFOs and cargo executives.
Indeed, nearly 70 percent of respondents reporting improved profitability during the last quarter and a similar number expecting further improvement over the year ahead.
While there is regional variation - largely in line with the strength of economic recovery being experienced - the majority of respondents in all regions report improvements during the last quarter and expect either stability or further improvement over the year ahead.
As reported in LM, IATA revised its June forecast for 2010 industry financial performance from a loss of $2.8 billion to a profit of $2.5 billion.
According to IATA researchers, confidence about further improvements in profitability over the twelve months remains high. Some regional variation remains, with Europe being the only region still registering possible profitability decreases - although that the overwhelming majority (80 percent) of European respondents are actually positive on prospects. In the Middle East two thirds of respondents expect 'no-change' in profitability indicating a fairly stable outlook.

Greenville Police tell WITN that the man accused of stabbing a Beaufort County woman to death in Greenville on Tuesday night is now in custody.
The arrest was made by the US Marshall Task Force, the Greenville Police Department, the FBI, and the Pitt County Sheriff's Office.
Greenville Police say 24 year old Max Albert Dorat Tejada was arrested at a residence on Ayden Golf Club Road around 3 p.m.
Previous Story:
Greenville police have identified the man who they say killed a Beaufort County woman Tuesday night.
Police are looking for 24 year old Max Albert Dorat Tejada. Detectives say he goes by Max Alberto and that he is facing an open count of murder.
The victim, Elizabeth Hope Cutler of Washington, died this morning at Vidant Medical Center, after being stabbed multiple times at Sedge-Field Apartments on Concord Drive.
Relatives say she went by her middle name of Hope and police now confirm her age as 32.
Witnesses told police they saw a man and a woman in a dispute and as the woman began to use a cell phone, the man threw it on the pavement and then stabbed her several times.
The attacker then ran toward the railroad tracks behind the apartment.
Police say Cutler and the man were in a relationship. They believe Tejada was staying at the apartment complex. The native of El Salvador may be considered a flight risk, according to police and they are now working with other agencies to locate him.
If you have information about this murder, call Greenville police at 252-329-4315.
Family and friends of the victim are holding a vigil at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday at the apartment complex.
Previous Story
Greenville Police say a woman was stabbed multiple times in an apartment complex parking lot and is believed to be in critical condition while the search for a suspect continues.
Sgt. Joe Friday tells WITN an argument took place at Sedge-Field Apartments on Concord Drive between a man and a woman. Friday says the man then stabbed the woman several times in the parking lot. The incident was reported around 7:15 p.m. Tuesday.
The woman, who has a Washington address, was taken to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville.
Police say they did recover the knife but are still searching for the suspect who lives in the apartment complex.

Moraga, CA (Sports Network) - Mitchell Young knocked down a pair of free
throws with 1.1 seconds remaining to give the Saint Mary's Gaels their first
lead of the game, en route to a thrilling 70-69 win over the Harvard Crimson
in non-conference play at McKeon Pavilion.
Mitchell finished the game with 16 points, all but two of which came in the
second half for the Gaels (11-3) as they logged their third straight win and
the seventh in the last eight games overall. Also scoring in double figures
for the hosts were James Walker II with 12 points, followed by Stephen Holt
and Beau Levesque with 10 apiece.
Matthew Dellavedova, the leading scorer for the Gaels this season with 18.5
ppg, shot just 1-of-13 from the floor and finished with a mere four points,
but did manage to hand out nine assists.
The Crimson (7-5) was paced by Jonah Travis who tied a career-high with 19
points before fouling out, while Siyani Chambers contributed 16 and seven
assists, followed by Wesley Saunders with 14 points in the meeting. Chambers
knocked down all five of his 3-point attempts.
Harvard, which entered the game on a three-game win streak after defeating
California on Saturday, started the meeting on a 13-3 run and eventually moved
out to a 35-21 advantage at the break, much to the surprise of the Gaels. The
hosts shot only 22.6 percent from the floor in the opening half.
In the second half SMC, which trailed by as many as 18 points in the opening
frame, began to chip away at the deficit. The game appeared to be almost over
when, after missing a shot, Harvard grabbed the offensive rebound and held a
69-68 advantage with less than 30 seconds remaining.
However, Laurent Rivard threw the ball out of bounds with 21.2 seconds to
play, giving SMC another possession and the opportunity to complete the
comeback bid and that's when Mitchell stepped up to play the hero for the home
With the victory SMC has now won 17 straight home games over non-conference

Columbus, Ohio -- March 24, 1997 -- Capital University in Columbus and Ohio Northern University in Ada are often recognized for their programs in music, law or a traditional arts program, and...computer science? Now they are. Both universities now offer courses in parallel computing to undergraduates. These types of classes are usually offered only at major research universities.
Press Releases

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (Univ. of Ark.) - Former Arkansas defensive lineman Geno Bell will serve as the A Club Honorary Captain for Saturday's game between Arkansas and South Carolina, it was announced Wednesday.
Bell was a four-year letterwinner for the Razorbacks. Bell played at Arkansas from 1993-95 and finished his career in 1997 after suffering an injury before the start of the 1996 season.
A native of Columbia, S.C., Bell finished his collegiate career with 185 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, 11 sacks, four pass breakups and three fumble recoveries. Bell still ranks tied for 17th in school history in both career tackles for loss and career sacks.
Bell's best season as a Razorback came in 1995 when he helped Arkansas to a SEC Western Division title. Bell finished the 1995 season with 89 tackles, including 10 tackles for loss. Bell also contributed a team-high 10 tackles for loss in 1997 and added eight quarterback hurries.
Following his collegiate career, Bell played in the NFL with the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns. He currently works as the Senior Director of Transportation at Walmart.
The A Club honorary captain is recognized before each home game for their outstanding accomplishments on the field during their Razorback career. Each captain will be available for a brief autograph session at the AT&T Fan Zone at The Gardens prior to each game. Before kickoff, they will be recognized and will accompany the captains to midfield for the coin toss.
Kickoff for Saturday's Homecoming game vs. South Carolina inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium is set for 11:21 a.m. and the game will be available across the country on SEC TV.

Hi Kristen!
I'm so glad you're going to give pumpkin house making a try!! I think my dad cut the top off the pumpkin and the door and window holes with one of those plastic pumpkin carving knives you can buy at Halloween. As far as the door, stairs,window cross bars and furniture we just use small twigs collected from the backyard with hot glue (glue gun) or craft glue. It's just a matter of trial and error.
Good luck and please send me pictures when you're done!!

Heh heh - like it... You know we should have a challenge based around a real world bit of noise pattern like coffee or the eye iris recently posted and make a map from it. You should have to post the original noise source unless its fairly obvious like in this case.
This also reminds me of a Dilbert strip where they are looking for a new corporate logo spending squillions on Dogberts marketing consultancy but where the result was a coffee ring stain on the counter top - oh yeah here it is... http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/1996-06-11/ ... still makes me chuckle.

IRVINE, Calif. -- September 20, 2011 --Blizzard Entertainment announced today that the closed beta test for Diablo® III, its highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling Diablo action role-playing game series, has begun. The company has started issuing the first wave of invitations to participate in the testing process and is planning to add more participants over the course of the beta test. While enjoying an early look at the game, beta testers will provide valuable feedback as they help Blizzard Entertainment test server stability and hardware.
In the Diablo III closed beta test, participants will be able to fight their way through part of Act I as any of the five hero classes -- barbarian, witch doctor, wizard, monk, and demon hunter -- and go head-to-skull against the Skeleton King, taking him on alone or playing cooperatively with other adventurers. They'll also get to meet up with some of the artisans, followers, and other key characters from Sanctuary, and try out the game's skill and crafting systems.
"This closed beta test is an important milestone for us as we enter the final stages of development on Diablo III," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "Our goal is to create the best action role-playing game experience to date, building on everything we've learned since the release of Diablo II and incorporating the powerful features of the new Battle.net® platform. We hope players enjoy participating in the beta test and we look forward to hearing their feedback."
Diablo III will continue the epic Diablo storyline, with players playing their role in the ongoing struggle to save the world of Sanctuary from the corrupting forces of the Burning Hells. Diablo III will also be the definitive action role-playing game, with players adventuring through rich and varied settings, engaging in combat with hordes of monsters and challenging bosses, growing in experience and ability, and acquiring items of incredible power. As the sequel to Diablo II, the game will feature the easy-to-use interface, fast-paced action, and visceral gameplay that Diablo players have come to expect and enjoy. Designed from the ground up to leverage the power of Battle.net, Diablo III will also provide gamers with industry-leading matchmaking and communication tools; convenient character- and inventory-management options; and the Diablo III auction house, which will support a robust player-driven economy.
Diablo III will be localized and released in multiple languages; however, the beta will be English-only. Release timing and region-specific details such as pricing and supported languages will be announced at a later date. For more information on Diablo III, please visit the official website at http://www.battle.net/d3/. To set up a Battle.net account and sign up for a chance to participate in the Diablo III beta test, please visit the official Battle.net website at http://www.battle.net.

Zimbra Gurus,
I've been trying to fine tune the security on my server and I notice opens _a lot_ of ports.. most of which are either used only by zimbra, or are redirected via iptables..
Here is my list of ports opened by Zimbra..
Port State Service
25/tcp open smtp
80/tcp open http
110/tcp open pop-3
143/tcp open imap2
389/tcp open ldap
443/tcp open https
993/tcp open imaps
995/tcp open pop3s
3310/tcp open unknown
3784/tcp open unknown
7025/tcp open unknown
7070/tcp open realserver
7071/tcp open unknown
7075/tcp open unknown
7110/tcp open unknown
7143/tcp open unknown
7389/tcp open unknown
7443/tcp open unknown
7993/tcp open unknown
7995/tcp open unknown
8009/tcp open ajp13
My question is.. Can I bind everything that's not actually serving data to the internet to localhost? Does LDAP really need to be open to the world? At the very least, could I block access to these ports via iptables? Do the 70** addresses need to be available to the public, or does the iptables redirect act as a proxy?
What ports does the web application connect to?

I keep getting reports from users trying to send mail in from gmail that they are getting bounce messages that Zimbra is rejecting their email due to a Sorbs block.
We had Sorbs in our RBL list but removed it a long time ago due to issues w/ good emails addresses being blocked.
I've tried whitelisting the addresses and verified Sorbs is no longer in the RBL config so why / how is it still able to show up like this?

With all the babies being born around this area, I have used several of my go-to, easy-to-prepare recipes to take meals to friends caring for their newborn infants.

No matter what, you won't be disappointed and it makes for great leftovers too! Who can beat that?
