text: By Carolyn LeeThe Imperial Republican A one-vehicle accident early Saturday morning, April 6, resulted in multiple injuries for an Imperial man. Perkins County Sheriff Jim Brueggeman said 25-year-old Arturo Acosta/Martinez was transported by Flight for Life from the Perkins County Community Hospital following the accident, which occurred near the Perkins-Chase County line on 318 Road. Brueggeman said Acosta was about one-fourth mile north of the county line when the 2004 Chevrolet Silverado he was driving left the road, and rolled once. The sheriff said Acosta over-corrected and the vehicle crossed the road, ran into a field, knocked over a power pole and traveled three-quarters of a mile down a ditch into Chase County. Equipment was used to extricate Acosta from the pickup. Brueggeman said the driver's abdomen and pelvis were the most severely injured. The Perkins County EMS transported Acosta to the hospital. The Perkins County Fire Department was the first to respond to the scene of the accident, which was reported about 6:12 a.m. Brueggeman said charges are pending in the incident. There were no passengers in the vehicle.

WASHINGTON – March 20 is the first day of spring and some people may already be planning summer vacations.
According to Expedia, those who bought their airline tickets in March and April for a Memorial Day weekend getaway last year tended to get better deals than those waiting until May.
Expedia tells the Huffington Post that tickets sold more than 24 days before a trip were less than $400 on average.
Travelers looking ahead to the Fourth of July weekend can get cheaper tickets if they buy five to six weeks in advance. Early May is a good time to start looking.
And, when it comes to Labor Day weekend, it's best to purchase fares five to six weeks before going away.

For many law enforcement agencies, when asked if they have a social media program, their answer will be something like, "yes, we have a Facebook page, and Twitter account." A good start, but as a standalone, this doesn't exactly define a program.
Many agencies struggle to gain traction once they launch an agency Facebook page. Take for example, the Niagara County Sheriff's Office that was recently featured in the PublicEngines Definitive Guide to Social Media Engagement for Law Enforcement Agencies 2013. The agency launched its Facebook page, but after three years, only had about 200 Likes, and almost no engagement or interaction with the community. Almost by accident, the Agency went from 200 Likes to several hundreds when hurricane Sandy hit as people in the community were searching for credible sources about the storm and public safety issues.
We can learn from the spike in Likes and engagement Niagara experienced, and it can be done without the help of a hurricane!
The Guide to Social Media Engagement list six ideas for growing your audience and engaging with them:
- Hold an Launch Event. Many agencies have successfully hosted a social media launch event (Facebook) by tying into an existing community events. Another example was when the Virginia State Police Department launched its Facebook page on the anniversary of a community-known unsolved homicide.
- Obtain Publicity. Most agencies have good working relationship with local media. By issuing a news announcement & having news stories about the social media initiative, agencies can gain awareness, likes/followers, and begin the engagement process.
- Promote Social Media Profiles on Agency Website. In addition to making people aware the profiles exist, agencies can also ask questions on the website, and ask the community to provide comments on its social sites.
- Use Email to Promote Social Sites & Engage. From including links to social sites in email signatures, to direct outreach emails asking for Likes, or community-related questions, email can be a great way to communicate.
- Maintaining Engagement. By providing consistent and predicable information that is useful, actionable, compelling, and sharable with others, fans and followers will begin to anticipate and look forward to these posts. Engagement is sure to follow.
- Use CityConnect. All citizens to access all of the agencies social media and web accounts to citizens through their smart phones to make connecting and engagement easy, and always available. CityConnect is an agency-branded mobile app that does just that. From allowing people to deliver crime tips, to accessing CrimeReports, and even for emergency updates, there is no better way to connect with people today than through their smart phone.
The full Guide contains more details, and useful case examples. You can download it here.

Bounce emails are polite, but with spam these days, probably 98%+ bounce messages are to bogus addresses because they are spam with forged sender/reply to address.
By default, Zimbra bounces for unknown users which results in the spam message being sent along with the failed delivery message to be sent to whoever had the fortune of having their email address as the forged sender.
Not sure where I read it, but most mail admins will advocate that a better way to handle unknown user is to make postfix reject the email with a '550: Recipient Address Rejected: User unknown in local recipient table'. It is then up to the MTA that originated the connection to Zimra to determine what it should do with the email (spam).
This eliminates a lot of wasted traffic and makes Zimbra a good netizen for not bouncing spam around the internet.
So, my question, how can one configure Zimbra to give a 550 reject rather than a bounce?
In other postfix installations, I was able to do this using the local_recipient_maps setting like so (main.cf):
But this setting doesn't seem to work with default zimbra setup.Code:# Set this because this causes local postfix to generate a 550 reject # response to the SMTP server that initiated the connection # rather than sending a bounce email to a likely bogus address unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 local_recipient_maps = $virtual_mailbox_maps
Has anybody done this?

Will this win over Virginia get us some top 25 votes? It really should. Not many teams have 12 wins.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
no way. we beat a now 8-5 team on the road. GREAT win, but not top 25 worthy IMO
No. It's ridonkulous that we lost to UNI.
Ummmm...it shouldn't
**** uni.
No, it wont, nor should it. Still happy about where we're at, but lets not jump on the overhype rollercoaster again.
Originally Posted by SeattleClone

um not really
I would doubt it, and don't we have 13 wins now?
No. We beat a team without its heart and soul. It'd be like us taking DG out of our lineup.
We lost to Cal and UNI. I love us but I wouldn't vote us yet. Beat Nebraska and either Baylor or KU, then we can talk.
why didnt Wesley Johnson play tonight? is he sick?
"Has Paul Rhoads run out of gas? Is this the year we lay an egg?" 5/18/2012 5:52 A.M.
If we beat NIU and Nebraska, maybe some votes. 14-2 is worthy of some votes at that point in the season.
When Prepared, Fear No One.

Let's beat NIU first
Mark my words, we will get votes, nowhere near the top #25 but i see us around 35-40 mark with a few votes. If we go 4-0 in conference we would have a record of 17-2 which gets us in rankings.
I actually think we should delete this thread. The last time we talked about getting votes we lost 2 games to UNI and Cal.

One gay Boy Scout's 'brutal day'
Maybe the most emotional conversation a gay teenager could have with his parents is coming out to them.
Jeremy Zaida's toughest exchange came soon after that.
Zaida was 16 when he disclosed his sexual orientation to his parents over a couple days two summers ago. The day after he told his dad, his future seemed brighter, but he was in no rush to realize it.
He was spending a lazy day at home in Santa Barbara when a phone call from his father provoked his biggest identity crisis yet.
The Boy Scouts of America ban gay members and Scout leaders, his father said. Zaida would have to leave an organization he had served in — belonged to — since second grade, one he had stuck with as his peers quit to pursue sports or girls or nothin', as they might tell their own parents.
Zaida's dad said the ban meant he would have to call his scoutmaster and quit the Scouts. Father and son talked for an hour, and Zaida kept putting the phone down to think. He was in shock. He called it "another level of emotional distress that I really didn't want to have to go through at all."
"That was kind of a brutal day," he said.
Zaida shared all this with me after news broke Monday that the decades-old ban, which was upheld 13 years ago by the U.S. Supreme Court, could finally soften. Next week, the Boy Scouts' board of directors could end the policy and announce that local Scout groups would be allowed to independently decide whether gays can join.
"The chartered organizations that oversee and deliver scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with their organization's mission, principles or religious beliefs," Deron Smith, a spokesman for the Boy Scouts' national organization, told NBC News.
Whoa. Just last year, the Boy Scouts had publicly reaffirmed their ban. Now this? I needed to ask a gay Scout for his opinion.
Luckily, Zaida had written a letter to U-T San Diego's editor in November about gay rights and the Boy Scouts' policy. I connected with him through Twitter, where his avatar is a picture of himself in his Boy Scout uniform with a tarantula.
Zaida is now a freshman at San Diego State University, a biology and theatre major who is hardly alone in his hope for open-enrollment scouting.
Numerous groups from coast to coast are lobbying the Boy Scouts of America to change its policy, and big sponsors such as UPS, United Way, the Merck Company Foundation and the Intel Foundation have announced plans in recent months to drop or delay donations to the Scouts because of the ban.
Pressure is building. More than 70,000 people have signed a petition asking Verizon to do the same until the Scouts change course.
So what would Zaida prefer to see? And why does it matter?
Somewhere along the line, the Scouts gave up on guys like Zaida. Even so, he didn't give up on them. With his father's support, he decided to stay closeted while continuing with the Scouts. He attended weekly meetings and monthly trips. He attained the coveted rank of Eagle Scout, the top scouting achievement. He earned dozens of merit badges even as the Boy Scouts failed to recognize one of his most important: a badge of courage.
Even in this day and age of increasing tolerance toward homosexuals, what's braver than having high school classmates know that you're gay?
But school and scouts were different.
After Zaida collected 1,000 pounds of food and $200 for a food drive during his senior year of high school, a thought crossed his mind about what he might do at his Eagle Scout awards ceremony: He would come out to the crowd because he was so angry about having to stay closeted.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Jordan Zimmermann pitched seven scoreless innings to get his ninth win, tying him for most in the majors, and the Washington Nationals' bats showed some rare signs on life Sunday in a 7-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins in the first game of a day-night doubleheader.
The Nationals, who hadn't scored more than three runs for seven straight games, managed to get five across in one inning as they broke a two-game losing streak and moved within one game of .500.
Zimmermann (9-3) did the rest, allowing only two hits while striking out eight with a season-high 111 pitches. His ERA dropped to 2.00, and he's tied with Boston's Clay Buchholz, Arizona's Patrick Corbin and St. Louis' Adam Wainwright atop the wins list.
Ian Desmond got three hits and two RBIs to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games. Anthony Rendon had two hits and three RBIs, and the Nationals were an uncharacteristic 5 for 10 with runners in scoring position.
Washington scored a pair in the fourth and sent 10 hitters to the plate in a five-run fifth that chased Minnesota starter Scott Diamond (4-5).
The Nationals fielded an unorthodox lineup, putting a pair of second basemen in the outfield - Jeff Kobernus in center, Steve Lombardozzi in left - and a natural third baseman, Rendon, at second. Rendon fluffed a routine popup in the third inning, and third baseman Ryan Zimmerman made yet another error - his 11th of the season - when he pulled first baseman Adam LaRoche off the bag in the fifth.
Regular center field Denard Span missed the game after fouling a pitch off his right foot in Saturday's 11-inning loss, and usual left fielder Bryce Harper is on the disabled list with a sore knee and was en route for his Monday appointment with renowned specialist Dr. James Andrews.
Nevertheless, manager Davey Johnson's starting nine got the job done, with a little help from the Twins. The two runs in the fourth came with two outs when Rendon hit a sharp grounder to shortstop with men on second and third. Pedro Florimon made a new diving stop, but first baseman Justin Morneau failed to come off the bag to field the late, off-target throw, allowing both runners to score.
The fifth inning included three walks - one intentional - and two wild pitches, supplementing doubles by Zimmerman and Rendon and singles by LaRoche and Desmond.
Diamond lasted 4 2-3 innings, allowing 10 hits and seven runs, including six earned.
NOTES: Twins RHP Ryan Pressley left the game with one out in the seventh with a sore right triceps. ... Zimmermann is 11-0 in his lasts 18 starts at Nationals Park. He hasn't lost at home in over a year - May 17, 2012, vs. Pittsburgh. ... Kobernus made his first major league start and got his first career hit, an infield single in the third, but he was doubled off first on Lombardozzi's flyout to center. ... Minnesota's Clete Thomas started in LF for the first time this season and threw out Jayson Werth in the fourth inning when Werth tried to score on a single by Desmond. ... The Twins recalled OF Chris Colabello from Triple-A Rochester as their 26th man for the doubleheader, while the Nationals recalled 1B-OF Chris Marrero from Triple-A Syracuse. Colabello struck out as a pinch hitter, and Marrero grounded out as a pinch hitter then stayed in the game at first base. ... Minnesota's Samuel Deduno (2-1) was scheduled to face Washington's Nate Karns (0-1) in the nightcap. ... The doubleheader was scheduled after Friday's series opener was rained out.

Art or Sleaze? 'I Spit on Your Grave' Remake Straddles Both Lines
By Rossiter Drake on October 08, 2010 1:00 PM
As children, we are taught to turn the other cheek, but who can deny the visceral thrill of richly deserved revenge, presented in Steven R. Monroe's I Spit on Your Grave remake as a dish served well past the freezing point?
Anyone familiar with Meir Zarchi's 1980 original – famously dismissed by Roger Ebert as "a film without a shred of artistic distinction" but hailed by others as a crude testament to feminist fortitude – should recognize the story of Jennifer, the big-city girl beaten and raped by five merciless hillbillies during a retreat in the Louisiana backwoods.

(WUSA) - The Virginia Senate race is heating up with just 13 days left until the election.
9News's Peggy Fox is tracking where George Allen and Tim Kaine stand on the issues.
How would you create jobs as a United States Senator? Here's Tim Kaine's answer.
"First, level the playing field for small businesses. The job creators are not Exxon Mobile. The Big tax breaks to big oil companies that
doesn't create jobs. Second, I'd build
more. Investments and infrastructure,
you know like Rail to Dulles or highway so bridge, or the broad band roll out."
George Allen says cutting taxes and regulations will create
"Reducing the tax to
a more flat simple fair and competitive tax
20 percent, 500,000 jobs will be created a year. There's too many onerous burdensome
regulations what are an impediment for business small business. Particularly Obamacare. "
That's why Allen says he's out to repeal and replace the Affordable
Health Care ACT.
"Obamacare is an impediment to any business that is anywhere
near 50 employees. Doesn't want to get
anywhere near 50. I'm one who is a strong proponent of
affordable for personal portable health politices and have your own health care savings account."
Tim Kaine: "To repeal
the Affordable Care Act, that would be a bad thing. You would take kids who are 21 to 26 and
you'd kick them off their family policies. The Affordable Care provided seniors
free preventative care under Medicare
and helped them with prescription drug prices, suddenly, they're not going to
get that."
President Obama favors letting the Bush era tax cuts expire for those making $250,000 or more. Tim Kaine wants the threshold raised to
income levels at $500,000, and put the
revenue toward budget cuts, reducing the impact of the Sequestration's $1 trillion of cuts to both defense
and domestic spending.
Tim Kaine: "If we let
the bush era tax cuts expire over 500-thousand. We
don't have to make a trillion dollars
worth of cuts, we have to make 500 billion worth of cuts."
George Allen: "The
paramount responsibility of the Federal government is defense. We ought not to be cutting national security. What's
needed is, these cuts need to be stopped.
There are a variety of ways to cut spending."
Allen is opposed to tax increases.
Allen: "We have a weak fragile economy, raising taxes
doesn't create more jobs. Except maybe at the IRS. "
Both candidates' positions are closely aligned with their parties' presidential candidates. Neither Allen nor Romney give details of what they might cut to balance the budget, since they're opposed to raising taxes. Allen says allowing more coal mining and off-shore drilling will create a manufacturing renaissance, and make tax increases unnecessary.

We're proud of all of the hard-working, super-talented coffee professionals from around the country—including our very own 2014 regional winners—who competed in the 2014 US Brewers Cup and Barista competitions in Seattle.
Mid-Atlantic sales rep Jonathan Bonchak—who won the 2014 Southeast Regional Brewers Cup Championship (SEBrC) for the second year in a row—was a finalist in the US Brewers Cup again this year and took fifth place. Great job, Jonathan!
J. Park Brannen—a customer rep from Team NYC—won the Northeast Regional Barista Championship (NERBC) with a polished presentation competed in the US Barista Championship in Seattle with a very strong showing. Great job, Park!
In addition to our inspiring co-workers who did an amazing job in Seattle, a handful of dedicated professionals from our wholesale partners competed ably, as well.
Erika Vonie of Ultimo Coffee in Philadelphia—who took second place in the NERBC in January with coffee from our Tairora Project from the Eastern Highlands, Papua New Guinea—used this coffee again in Seattle. Corey Reilly from Everyman Espresso in New York finished third in the NERBC and competed again in Seattle, as well.
In the Southeast Regional Barista Competition (SERBC), independent barista Dawn Shanks from Peregrine Espresso in Washington, DC, used Counter Culture's Biloya Natural Sundried to earn a third place finish. Dawn competed in Seattle with Idido Natural Sundried. Tim Jones of Jubala Village Coffee in Raleigh came in fourth in the SERBC using a blend of Idido washed and Biloya Natural Sundried, which he used again in the national competition. And, Nathan Nerswick of 5&10 in Athens, GA, rounded out the SERBC finalists in sixth place. Nathan brewed our Baroida coffee—also from the Eastern Highlands, Papua New Guinea—when he competed in Seattle.
Thanks to all of you for your hard work!

The campus has regular all campus events (usually on days when a large number of students are on campus) that bring students together. Resident faculty are available and accessible to students.
Local staff positions and internships
: The Southern California campus gets regular requests from churches and associations in the greater Los Angeles area for students to apply for staff positions or internship. The seminary also partners with Saddleback Church and Mosaic. Inner city internships and positions with ethnic churches are also available through a partnership with the Los Angeles Southern Baptist Association.
Relaxation and Refreshment
: Students gather in our student lounge or on the patio to socialize, eat and study before and after classes and during class breaks. The student lounge (Espresso Heaven) is equipped with a vending machine, refrigerator, microwave and coffee.
Wireless Internet
access is available in Espresso Heaven and throughout the campus. Espresso Heaven also has a few desktop computers for students needing to check email or check news on the Internet.
The Southern California campus also boasts "our own" food court! The Brea Mall (directly across the street) is the usual hangout for professors and students especially during on-campus intensives when students are in class for extended periods of time. "Our staff" at the Brea Mall Food Court serve up daily dishes from America and around the world! Speaking of food… it's not unusual for a missions, intercultural communication or other class to head to one of a number of nearby ethnic restaurants – Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Indian or Mexican – to name a few.
Similarly, "our own fitness center" is across the street at the Brea Community Center where students enjoy a special rate for use of the faculties that include a complete gym and basketball courts.

New discussions have emerged surrounding the proposed stadium project that would replace the Georgia Dome for the Atlanta Falcons.
11Alive's Help Desk spent the day calling metro Atlanta lawmakers. Of those who were available to speak to the Help Desk regarding their stance on the proposal, feelings were mixed.
HELP DESK | How to contact your lawmakers
Of the 124 lawmakers that the Help Desk contacted, eleven returned our calls and weighed in with their opinions. Most were undecided, while others mentioned that a new stadium would be welcomed if the Falcons were willing to front the costs of the stadium on their own, and leave taxpayer funds out of the equation.
Others noted that the current stadium was adequate, and that the state has more pressing issues at this time.
The legislature is currently not in session, but is scheduled to reconvene on Monday, January 14, at 10:00 a.m.

Thanks guys! I am waiting on 2 more blacktail mounts also. Problem is, our lease is up on this place is May and I've got another year of college left. It's not easy finding temporary places to accommodate all this stuff!

Looks good BigSurArcher. Those are some great mounts and a nice collection.
I'd say bring them on over up north a bit for temporary storage at our home but my wife has me on limited display places and storage as well. I have some mounts stored at my folks home even.
I have an agreement with my wife. I'll be able to decorate more with them when we get our cabin in the mountains . I feel your pain on accommodating places for all this stuff.
Awesome bull!

Just took the client out for a spin. I am really impressed for the most part. This is the kind of technology that if it is widely deployed can really make a huge huge impact.
The good:
- The application seemed very fast. Much faster then the blackberry software itself, esp when switching folders.
- It appears to load emails as you go. Not a problem at all on my BB (very very fast), but I can see this being slow pretty easily.
- Look and feel is solid.
The Bad:
- Lost sync once.Had to change folder to get it synchronizing again.
The Ugly:
- The UI is too wide for the pearls screen. It seems to think it's much wider then it is, so the right hand portion of the screen is off

I know the SV caame out with a MG mount with slow mo controls but when will someone inport a version of this United Optic mount with the dual head Alt/Az with slow mo controls like whats on there site. Calling Mr. Mike, just wondering if you might have looked into this mount and I think not just myself would be very interested in one, like real soon. it looks like they sell just the head and that would be easy to inport and just get a supply of tripods to go with it. The SV MG looks good but has no option to go to dual heads, "Two Heads are Better Than One" LOL.
Nobody imports or make dual head Alt/Az w/slomo

Here's the link where MSP's can go to sign up
Cloud & Service Management blog
When IBM keeps its head in the clouds, everybody wins!
David Ojalvo 060001CNQC email@example.com Tags:  financing partner msp business tivoli smartcloud ibm 1 Comment 6,660 Visits
As I began to read through the press release about IBM's new initiatives to help Managed Service Providers (MSP's) in the cloud space, it suddenly struck me - this is a great opportunity for ALL parties involved.
Here's why:
For MSP's, IBM is providing a bundle of services and support in the way of marketing skills, technical expertise and financing options. On the marketing side, MSP's will have the ability to better target their customers and generate demand for their services through IBM education that includes topics such as developing effective marketing plans and exploiting the burgeoning social media space. Additionally, MSP's can sell IBM SmartCloud services under their own brand names. On the technical side, MSP's will have access to four new "Centers of Excellence" (located in China, Japan, Germany; and New York City) where they can collaborate with IBM technical experts to build their cloud services, and connect with other IBM ISV's. In terms of funding their efforts, IBM announced a financing offer which includes 12-month, 0% loans for IBM Systems, Storage and Software, and allows MSP's to defer payments for up to 90 days.
For end-users in the SMB space who often lack the necessary IT skills, this is a great opportunity to leverage local technology providers and take advantage of a cost effective "pay-as-you-go" model that cloud computing affords them. In addition, end-users will have the confidence of knowing that the services provided were built on an IBM platform.
Finally, for IBM, this is a great opportunity to expand its cloud ecosystem, and leverage the growing population of MSP's, who are continuing to gain traction in the cloud computing space for SMB's.
Here's the link where MSP's can go to sign up
IBM InterConnect And SmartCloud Foundation
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  interconnect storage cloud service-management smartcloud 4,323 Visits
As the Western Hemisphere was slumbering, news from Singapore was lighting up Twitter as our senior executives took the stage at the IBM InterConnect conference to talk about some of the latest announcements from the IBM corporation on innovation and a Smarter Planet.
Much of the reporting has been done on Twitter (hashtag #IBMInterConnect) and these keynotes are available on the LiveStream including an amazing speech by Dr. Michio Kaku about the future of computers ("everywhere and nowhere").*
These are supplemented by interviews conducted by Todd "Turbo Todd" Watson, also on the LiveStream.
Since this event was focused on a Smarter Planet (the entire IBM portfolio), we covered a lot of ground. Big Data. Social. Mobility. And, of course, cloud.
For SmartCloud Foundation, the Tivoli organization has a number of exciting solutions that are designed to help you increase the levels of innovation you provide to your clients.
For this blog, I thought it'd be good to focus on three of the new solutions you might not have seen before that are going to help you in building out your private cloud.
IBM SmartCloud Cost Management is one of the key components in transforming IT from a "cost center" to an innovation center by providing levels of visibility, and transparency, to the IT costs associated with your cloud. Measure, analyze, report, and invoice the utilization and costs of physical, virtualized, and cloud computing resources, storage and network resources, applications, and other non-IT cost drivers.
IBM SmartCloud Patch Management combines the benefits of two solutions, IBM Endpoint Manager for Patch Management and IBM SmartCloud Provisioning, to provide an effective entry point that delivers lower costs and improves the visibility and control of physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
Finally, the IBM SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center is a solution that you might have seen us talk about at Pulse 2012 and it's now an exciting addition to the portfolio. This solution helps IT storage managers migrate to an agile cloud-based storage environment and manage it effectively without having to replace existing storage systems. If you're looking to increase your storage efficiency in cloud, but don't have the checkbook to do a "rip and replace" of your entire infrastructure, you need to be looking at this solution.
There's more going on in Singapore over the next two days, and more discussion of SmartCloud Foundation and IBM Smarter Planet. Stay tuned to Twitter and the LiveStream and feel free to post comments below.
* I have to confess that this blog was delayed because I got sucked into watching the keynotes.
Enterprise Systems from IBM
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  system-p system-z service-management enterprise-systems system-storage entsys storage 1 Comment 6,337 Visits
This blog post was written by George Mina
Earlier today, IBM shared its point of view on the future of the data center with Smarter Computing V3 (press release). A central focus is IBM Enterprise Systems (zEnterprise EC12 and Power) and their ability to deliver exceptional value through a private Cloud. We've seen how organizations have been able to leverage IBM Enterprise Systems to achieve significant benefits. Take the City of Honolulu for example which was able to lower its licensing costs by 68% while increasing tax revenue by $1.4M USD in just three months.
By adding Tivoli software to their current IT environment, organizations can advance their enterprise-class Cloud environment while protecting their existing IT investment. How? IBM SmartCloud Foundation software is deeply rooted in openess - an open standards approach and common management tools that are platform agnostic. Essentially, you pick the platform(s) that best meets your business goals and we deliver a set of interoperable Cloud management tools across your heterogeneous environment. Of course, there are intrinsic benefits to building a Cloud management stack on top of IBM Enterprise Systems given the tight integration between hardware and software. OMEGAMON for example leverages a deep integration with zEnterprise systems to deliver advanced monitoring that reduces typical time to resolution from 90 minutes to 2 minutes.
Whether your starting to consider virtualizing your IT environment or deep into your Cloud journey, we have open Cloud management tools that help you expand your Cloud footprint without fear of vendor "lock-in". Learn more about the latest announcement and our Cloud solutions by visiting this site and attending the System z webcast on October 17.

TROUTDALE Ore. (Reuters) – A gunman walked into an Oregon high school with a rifle and shot a student to death on Tuesday before he was later found dead, in the third outbreak of gun violence to shake a U.S. high school or college campus in less than three weeks.
Reynolds High School in the middle-class Portland suburb of Troutdale was immediately locked down, then evacuated room by room as law enforcement and emergency personnel converged on the campus of 2,800 students, which had been scheduled to hold its last day of classes on Wednesday before the summer break.
"A gunman entered the high school this morning, shot one student. Unfortunately, that student has died," Troutdale Police Chief Scott Anderson told a news conference. "The gunman was located and the gunman is also deceased."
A teacher was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries, but there were no immediate reports of additional injuries.

Sheriff's office: Shooting at Reynolds HS in Troutdale; suspect confirmed dead http://t.co/6QIFqcDENF #LiveonK2 pic.twitter.com/KzNTiKBF1i
— KATU News (@KATUNews) June 10, 2014
Anderson said the gunman had been tentatively identified, but that authorities were seeking confirmation before releasing his name. He did not clarify whether the suspect was a student or how he died.
Two girls from the high school, sisters Kadejah and Deondra Nixon, told Reuters after being reunited with their parents that police were asking students whether anyone had ridden a bus to school with a student carrying a guitar case.
"This has been very unsettling day for our precious city," Troutdale Mayor Doug Daoust said at the news conference.
The violence in northern Oregon was the latest in a string of fatal shootings in U.S. public places since May, including a shooting at a Christian college in neighboring Washington state last week in which one student died.
Television footage at the Oregon school showed police officers in helmets and tactical gear, stepping from armored vehicles and running near the school's perimeter with rifles. Students streamed out of the school with hands raised.
"My heart is heavy after learning of this morning's tragic events at Reynolds High School," Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber said. "Today, Oregon hurts as we try to make sense of a senseless act of violence."
A few miles from the school, students bused from the campus were being reunited with anxious parents in the parking lot of a shopping center.
"I'm glad it wasn't worse," said Rachelle Rueschenberg, a mother clutching her ninth-grade daughter, Maddy. "It's so hard."
Kadejah Nixon said she did not hear gunfire because the shooting was in a different wing of the building, but recounted an announcement over the school's public address system that urged students to go to the nearest classroom and close the doors.
"'This is not a drill, this is serious, get into a classroom,'" she quoted the announcement as saying.
Police said that during a search of the school after the shooting, they found a gun on another person, which they believed to be unrelated to the violence. That person, who was not identified, was taken into custody.

Not only is Serena Williams still discussing "Foodgate" in her post-match presser but it seems she's still working on that TV dramedy she threatened us with back at the Oz Open.
The 10-time Grand Slammer, who crushed Aussie Jarmila Groth 6-2, 6-1 in 58 minutes, even gives us an idea of the forthcoming show's subject matter:
Q. I've read that Venus has given you a book on script writing. Will you be at the Emmys or Oscars next year?
SERENA WILLIAMS: I'm writing my script. You'll be excited to know I wrote three parts already. I call it 'my treatment,' so I'm working on my treatment now.
I was going to do it yesterday, but I started watching Dexter and I got a little sidetracked. You know what, today's a good day. I can write. I was really in the mood yesterday. For me it's really about being in the mood and how I'm feeling.
Q. What's the subject? Is it for TV or a movie?
SERENA WILLIAMS: It's definitely for TV. I don't know how good I would be at writing a movie. But I just love to write. Hopefully it will be good.
Q. If you were writing a movie on Serena Williams, what would be the opening scene of that movie?
SERENA WILLIAMS: You know, there are definitely so many options. I don't know. You know, I think I would open a scene, you know, holding a championship, and then I would rewind time. I think those stories are told well.
Q. What is the subject matter of the TV script that you're writing?
SERENA WILLIAMS: Uhm, it's a mixture between some of my favorite shows, like Desperate Housewives, and Sex and the City, and actually Family Guy. It's kind of those put together in one, if you can imagine.
Uh no, I absolutely can't imagine that ReRe. In fact it sounds disturbing. Very disturbing.

The Cineperm consists of a 1" tubular aluminum frame, which assembles without tools using slip fittings, is permanently mounted to the wall and has a snap-on viewing surface. Because its 2" black border and snap heads are exposed and visible, it is less attractive than our other options. The Cineperm is offered in a very wide range of standard sizes and can be manufactured in literally any custom size.
The primary advantage of permanently tensioned screens is that the screen surface is perfectly flat, which provides better image quality. The possible disadvantage is that screens of this type cannot be rolled up or otherwise removed, thus permanently occupy a significant amount of wall space in the room.
M1300 Screen Material—The perfect matt white diffusing surface. Ideal for high resolution data projection. Extremely broad light dispersion and spectral uniformity. Pan oram ic viewing angle and true color rendition. Recommended for use with any type of projector where the light level can be reason ably con trolled. Washable. M1300 has a gain of 1.0 and a viewing cone of 180°.
A Note about Shipping — Shipping costs can not be estimated online. A ProjectorSuperStore representative will contact you and provide you with the shipping amount before the order is billed and shipped.

The Weyerhaeuser Lumber Mill was not fully operational Wednesday, a day after fire broke out.
The plant, which is on the Martin-Washington county line, caught fire around 2pm Tuesday.
Weyerhaeuser spokeswoman Nancy Thompson says the fire broke out near the planer mill area and was contained late Tuesday afternoon.
Crews monitored hot-spots throughout the night until Wednesday morning.
Thompson tells us the damage is not as extensive as they first thought, but could not give us any specifics on the type of damage the plant received.
Thompson says the mill was partially open Wednesday and hoped to be fully operational by the end of the week.
Previous Story
Three fire departments from two counties are battling a fire this afternoon at a lumber mill in Washington County.
Fire broke out around 2:00 p.m. at the Weyehaeuser lumber mill outside of Plymouth.
Nancy Thompson, Weyerhaeuser public affairs manager, tells WITN everyone was evacuated safely and there are no reports of injuries. The mill is across the road from the Domtar paper mill.
Thompson told WITN there was no damage estimate late Tuesday afternoon. 175 people work at the Weyerhaeuser facility.

I have decided that I'm going to break down and buy me a new bike with with my tax rebate. I have an 89 Specialized Rockhopper Comp and a 90 Raleigh Eclipse commuter style hybrid that I'm going to sell to help ease my sticker shock.
I don't normally pay attention to prices and models and so forth so I don't really have an idea as to what I could get for them. To stay on topic I'm asking about my rockhopper here and my commuter in the proper forum.
The Rockhopper is an 18 inch frame with a 29 inch standover. It is almost all original including the toe clips, shifters, brakes, wheels and tires but in reasonably good shape for a 20 year old bike that has actually been used. I do all my own adjustments and have kept everything in working order. I have used it mostly for park bike trails but it does have moderate paint chips from being laid over and transported etc. so it is not 100% "Like new" condition.
I have seen some really trashed specialized bikes with asking prices more than the new bike I want but, being almost 20 years old, I'm not sure if this one would be considered "Outdated" or "Classic", It can be a fine line between them.
Any input about what I should ask/expect would be appreciated

Peatland Ecosystems
Thematic group leads
Clifton Bain email@example.com & Maria Nuutinen firstname.lastname@example.com
Peatland conservation and restoration is a prime example of nature providing valuable ecosystem services particularly for water and climate regulation.
Peatlands are found in at least 175 countries – from the tropics to the poles- and cover around 4 million km2 or 3% of the world's land area. Historically the important role of peatlands has not been widely appreciated and large areas have been damaged by landuse change, pollution and now the impact of climate change. Drained and damaged peatlands add to the climate change problem by emitting 2 Gigatonnes of CO2 each year, almost 6% of Global greenhouse gas emissions.
International biodiversity and climate change conventions now recognise peatlands as a priority for action with peatland restoration being identified as the low hanging fruit in tackling climate change. Across the globe, countries are demonstrating examples of peatland ecosystem management using innovative combinations of policy, science and practice, including novel methods of securing payments for ecosystem services. Following a call for action on peatlands at the IUCN 2012 World Conservation Congress there is a strong desire to share experience on peatland management and to scale up delivery which could make significant contributions towards Biodiversity, Aichi targets, Ramsar Convention, climate change objectives and other international obligations.
The Peatland Thematic Group's work aims to highlighting the benefits of peatland ecosystems and explore new funding opportunities for peatlands based on ecosystem services. The group will encompass a truly international network of experts to share good practice build consensus on science and encourage national strategies for action to deliver peatland conservation and restoration. The group will work closely with other international peatland initiatives (eg IMCG, UN FAO) to ensure synergy and provide added value.
The IUCN UK National Committee Peatland Programme will provide the secretariat to support the group http://www.iucn-uk-peatlandprogramme.org/
Overall purpose of the Peatland Thematic Group
1. To provide good practice advice and information aimed at peatland conservation/restoration action to support delivery of biodiversity, climate change and water objectives.
2. To support knowledge exchange with/between partners on peatland management and funding opportunities.
3. To assist the scientific community in recognizing, identifying and describing peatland ecosystems wherever they occur.
4. To support countries in adopting strategic policies for peatlands and to assess progress of peatland ecosystem management towards biodiversity and climate change targets.
• A series of international workshops exploring good practice in peatland ecosystem management and description/identification of peatlands and peatland states.
• Publish good practice guidance showcasing peatland restoration projects and private funding initiatives (eg carbon and water).
• Provide a global analysis of progress in peatland delivery of biodiversity and climate change objectives.
• Provide a web based information hub on peatland conservation and restoration

|Coloring books are 125th anniversary keepsakes
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Holyoke art teachers Christina Martinez and Rhonda Smith, in conjunction with the Holyoke Chamber of Commerce, have put together the "Holyoke, CO—Celebrating 125th Anniversary" coloring book. Holyoke students provided art of things to do and see in and around Holyoke for the 52-page coloring book. 2013 senior Jaydin Goldenstein is featured with the cover art, pictured above.
The commemorative keepsake coloring books are available at the Holyoke Chamber office, located in the Peerless Center at 212 S. Interocean, or by calling executive director Mary Tomky at 854-3517.

By focusing on integrating policy and practice, IUCN contributes to water policy development and implementation around the world. It combines its support to members and partners at national levels with its work in demonstration sites. This linkage provides the basis for testing and implementing policies and scaling-up successful field-level results. It creates the necessary capacities amongst state and non-state actors to create sustainable solutions.
The underlying assumption is that when knowledge is available and people and institutions are empowered, they can better participate in decision making. This is translated into the Water-Value Chain: the value created by IUCN to influence, encourage and assist water managers to develop more sustainable practices. Individual actors (IUCN staff, commissions, members and partner organizations) contribute in their specific way to the creation and maintenance of a part of the Water-Value Chain.

I found several issues while working with the new Calendar in M2.
1- Move an event from one calendar to a new calendar.
This just doesn't work. I try to edit the event, change the calendar, press save
but the event is still on the first calendar.
2- Double click on a day ( QuickAdd ) fill some fields and then press "more options". Fill other fields, press save. The appointment never get saved.
Home this helps
