Stop Like the Pros: Braking TipsWritten by on June 21, 2004 Installing and using better brakes to go faster
The phenomenon is fairly common in circle track racing. A racer will spend his last penny on his engine or a new set of tires, while ignoring his brake system. Good braking just isn't as sexy as fire-breathing power, or a handling package that makes the car feel like it is riding on rails. In truth, the braking system--and its ability to stop the car quickly, consistently, and without upsetting the suspension--is vital to getting around the track quickly. This ain't drag racing after all. Unless you are racing Daytona or Talladega, you are probably using the brakes at least twice every lap to keep from wadding your car into the wall.
Racers need to consider the braking systems used by professional teams. In many cases, the higher initial cost pays for itself in short order.
Mark Davis, owner of the Carolina Motorsports Tech Center in Conover, North Carolina, recently upgraded the brakes on his Hooters ProCup car. The racing team, known as Carolina Team Concept, is made up of students from the CMTC, but the car is funded just like every other race operation. The goal at the track, just like every other team, is to win.
"We don't have the budget some of the other cars do," Davis says. "But we try to make sure we always do what it takes to win. I know a lot of guys will pinch pennies and think that as long as the brakes don't outright fail, they've done their job. That doesn't address the performance aspect of how the right brake package can help you get around the track: how light they are, how well they resist fading, how stable the calipers are. Things that help you go as fast in the last 10 laps as you did in the first 10. In my opinion, if a part can help you make the move from a Top-5 finish to a win, then it's worth some extra money."
Don Everhart of North American Race Parts provided technical support for this project. Everhart regularly advises race teams at every level on pad/rotor/caliper combinations that best suit their needs. It may sound odd, but hardware choices are actually harder for the Saturday night racer than for the Winston Cup guys. For the regular guy, outright performance and total weight aren't the only determining factors, there's also money and longevity to consider. For our needs, racing the Northern Division of the ProCup Series (Busch-type cars on short tracks), Everhart pointed us toward Alcon six-groove rotors, which are light, at just 11.9 pounds each, but should last the greater part of a season under hard use. For calipers, we chose Alcon B-Type units for the front, which are high-end pieces, but weigh in at just 6.3 pounds each. Even lighter H-Type units (4.5 pounds) were selected for the rear wheels. Performance Friction pads will do the dirty work.
"This isn't an overpowering brake system," Davis says. "But that's OK because we don't want to be hauling a bunch of weight around the track on the wheels. If the brake system is installed correctly and cooled properly, you don't need as much. That's the trick."
Both Davis and Everhart agree that the best thing you can do to ensure dependable stoppers during a long race is to put in the time beforehand. That means regular rebuilds (every four or five races), which include replacing all the seals, as well as changing the brake fluid every week. You need to keep a close watch on fluid temperatures. If you are spiking into the boiling point every week, you need to rethink your cooling system. Recirculators probably aren't necessary, but make sure your ductwork is as straight as possible and unclogged. Just like airflow to the combustion chambers, you want to provide air to cool the brakes in as straight a shot as possible.

Alcon offers options for the Saturday night racers that approximateWinston Cup performance without the Winston Cup price.Mark Davis, owner of the Carolina Motorsports Tech Center, believesexcellent installation and maintenance habits when it comes to yourbraking system will allow you to use smaller, lightweight componentswith no dropoff in performance or longevity.The first step is to bolt the hats onto the rotors. In our case, we arenot using a floating hat design.The steel brake lines are routed ahead of time to make sure everythingremains below the level of the master cylinders. When bleeding thebrakes, air bubbles tend to collect at any point where the line is abovethe master cylinder, making your chances of getting the job done rightmuch more difficult.The brake lines are run along the chassis tubing to shield them fromdebris flying up from the track and off the engine.Here, one of the spindles is mounted in a vise to hold it steady whilethe proper locations are determined. The rotor is attached to thespindle, and the caliper is clamped on the rotor by using air pressureto engage the brake pads against the rotor. By releasing the airpressure, the caliper can be moved until the right location in relationto the rotor and spindle is found. This is a lot cleaner than trying touse hydraulic fluid.To maintain optimum brake pad contact with the rotor, the top wallinside the caliper should be .060. The proper depth is determined with afeeler gauge.
Now that the caliper is properly located and held in position by theforce of the brake pads pressing against the rotor (which has,obviously, been locked so that it cannot spin), we can begin measuringfor the brackets.The bracket for the rear caliper mount is gusseted because it must bewelded to the axle tube at a 90-degree angle.The brackets, which have simply been cut from steel plate, are tackwelded into place with the spindle, rotor, and caliper all still on thefixture.The caliper mounting hardware is bolted and safety-wired to ourbrackets, which we have welded to the spindle. This system allows forshims to be used to readjust the calipers as needed.Caliper location is rechecked to make sure the pads will contact therotor evenly on both sides. Notice the mounting stud in the topright-hand corner of the caliper.Although lightweight, these four-piston calipers are well built. Theyare engineered to eliminate as much flex as possible. Features include abillet bridge to help strengthen the top of the caliper and big "beams"of material running down either side of the caliper. If you suspect yourcalipers are flexing, check pad wear. Pads that have more wear at thetop (the part contacting the outside of the rotor) than the bottom are aresult of the caliper flexing out as the pistons press the pads againstthe rotor.A lot of race teams settle when it comes to cooling the brakes by simplypointing the cooling hose at the inside of the rotor using the TLARmethod. ("That looks about right.") This is almost guaranteed to lead toinefficient cooling. The other end of the spectrum is carbon-fiber"caps" that direct cooling air from the hose into the center of therotor--nice, but expensive. You can do the same with a sheet of aluminum,a hammer, a shrinking tool, and a tig welder. It doesn't have to befancy, but the goal is to get all of the cooling air from the hose ontothe rotor and caliper. It is difficult to see in this photo, but Davishas also built a backing plate mounted to the back of the spindle tofinish the cap.

Hi Raj
Installed and working fine :) Is there any logging anywhere, i like to see smtp and spam logs? Cand find any in admin page
Thanks again
/var/log/zimbra.log has most of the application logs. Search for "amavisd" in that file for the spamassassing logs. Search for "postfix" for smtp logs.
OK Thanks Marc
A couple of other questions.....
How often does the av update, and also spamassasin? and where can i set spam acceptance levels?
Many Thanks
Check the admin UI, mta tab for spam levels. Lower levels mean more stringent spam blocking. After you set it, the system will take a minute or two to update.
I _think_ the clam updates default to every 2 hours - that's also controlled in the admin UI, av tab - as the number of updates per day, I think
Thanks Marc
All Done :) Looks pretty cool on day 1
Hi Marc
I am not convinced SA is working, it all looks fine but no score is added to any messages....how can I check?
John, SA doesn't have much of a database of spam initially and just moving mail to the junk folder doesn't teach SA what you consider spam *YET*. So you have to teach it with 'zmtrainsa'.Quote:

If you have problems with an error about a lock not being created look at the following thread. I had the same issues and this fixed it. http://www.zimbra.com/forums/showthr...ight=zmtrainsa
Are there no default/spamassasin rules to begin with? Or am i starting with a completely clean slate? Also can i add existing rbl's anywhere?
Many Thanks

Mainsail standard features:
The BTY-2 all purpose thermo molded 3DL sail maunfactured from Kevlar 600M offers a stronger more durable sail with
greater performance and longevity (more info. on 3DL can be found on our technology page).
Jib standard features:
The MR-3 Gennaker is designed as a pure upwind-downwind specialist sail giving excellent running performance. The combination of 0.5oz Superlite 50 and 0.6oz Superkote 60 spinnaker fabric produces a light overall weight enabling the luff to easily rotate to windward! .
Gennaker standard features:
The MR-5 Gennaker is our all purpose sail giving excellent all round performance. It is manufactured using 0.6oz Superkote 60 spinnaker fabric.
The J80 class has evolved greatly since the boats launch in 1993, therefore many tuning guides exist with different tuning numbers according to individual preference. What we have tried to achieve with this guide is to consolidate as much information and as many points of view as possible into a European North Sails guide. Please note that this guide is exactly that, a guide! Not a tuning Bible and we always suggest that teams experiment and find settings that suit their own sailing style and conditions but this guide should provide a good starting platform.
This includes the mast butt position, the mast position at deck level and the forestay length. All the variables that remain fixed and can't be changed whilst on the water.
The boat comes with a rubber mast collar and this is what we suggest is used. It provides even spacing within the partners at deck level.
With the class rule change to allow an adjustable bottlescrew on the forestay it is now easier to set the forestay to the desired length. It is best to do this on the dock as it is easier than doing it once the boat is in the water. Our measurement is 10.04 metres. This measurement is taken from the centre of the pin at the stem head (bow) fitting and the centre of the pin that connects the forestay to the mast fitting.

The supporting cast and system.
Easiest example: Adalius Thomas. Looked good in Bal because he was playing with a bunch of great players on D, comes to NE and is meh.
Deion Branch goes from a Super Bowl MVP while playing with an All-Pro QB to a nobody in SEA.
Good player there doesn't necessarily mean a good player here.
Someone that I have some reservations about is Dashon Goldson. Before Harbaugh comes in, he's just a decent S who has to settle for a one year deal. After playing with Harbaugh, he's an All-Pro. I think Aldon Smith's arrival, along with Bowman's development, really helped Goldson as he plays behind one of the best, if not the best, front 7 in all of football. Think about it, Whitner, Rogers, and Goldson were all mediocre players before playing in SF. By 2012, they'll all been elected to at least one probowl.
I'm not saying Goldson is bad, because I've watched him play, and he looks pretty good. But if he came to NE, would he be the same player he's become in SF? He won't have that dominant front 7 to alleviate secondary pressure.
Just something to consider when people just start throwing out random FA's that they want BB to sign. Nnamdi goes from an All-Pro to All-Arrington by signing with PHI. FA's have to fit with the system and the group of players. They also have to be self-motivated...too many grow content after getting a big contract.
It's a risky business and am surprised so many people want the Pats to just starting signing these big name FA's left and right. Other than resigning your own players, I would say most big ticket FA's aren't worth the money spent on them

Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel was involved in two car crashes and reported neither, and one of the crashes may have violated federal campaign finance law. During a March accident, Mandel, a Republican, was riding in a vehicle owned by his 2012 U.S. Senate campaign months after he lost to Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown. Federal law states Senate campaign property can't be used for personal use or to campaign for a different office, such as state treasurer. Mandel's state treasurer campaign says it rented out the car from the Senate campaign, but The Associated Press found the check didn't clear out until June 30 — seven months after the Senate campaign and four months after the crash — and the rent wasn't fully paid for until reporters started asking questions.
Republican state legislators are drafting a bill that would overhaul Ohio's Medicaid program. The legislation isn't the Medicaid expansion, which Ohio House Speaker William Batchelder now says isn't a good idea. Instead, the upcoming bill would make changes to attempt to control Medicaid's rising costs, which have put an increasing strain on the state budget in the past few years. Batchelder says the bill will be introduced in the fall and likely voted out of the House by the end of the year.Mayoral candidates John Cranley and Roxanne Qualls are rolling out their latest endorsements. Yesterday, State Rep. Alicia Reece said she's backing Cranley. On Friday, Qualls touted support from Equality Ohio, the Miami Group of the Sierra Club, the National Organization of Women Cincinnati, Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 392 and the Ohio-Kentucky Administrative District Council of Bricklayers and Allied Craftsworkers. Endorsements rarely influence the outcome of elections.
The Ohio Parole Board rejected a killer's plea for mercy.
Harry Mitts Jr. is scheduled to die by injection on Sept. 25 for
killing two men, including a police officer, at an apartment. Court
records claim Mitts uttered racial slurs before killing his first
victim, who was black. Mitts' defense says he was blacked out from
alcohol the night of the slayings and didn't know what he was doing.
With the board's rejection, Mitts' fate is now up to Gov. John Kasich,
who could commute the sentence to life in prison.

As it celebrates its 40th anniversary, Metro, Greater Cincinnati's bus system, is moving forward with changes that seek to improve services that have dealt with funding shortfalls and cuts in the past few years. The biggest change is Metro*Plus, a new limited-stop weekday bus service that will be free through Aug. 23. Metro spokesperson Jill Dunne says Metro*Plus is a step toward bus rapid transit (BRT), an elaborate system that uses limited stops, traffic signal priority and bus-only lanes. Metro*Plus is mostly federally funded, and Metro says an expansion into BRT, which could cost hundreds of millions of dollars, would also be carried by federal grants. Besides Metro*Plus, Cincinnati's bus system is also adding and cutting some routes.
State Sen. Bill Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican, says he will introduce legislation
capping how much utilities can spend on energy efficiency programs and
scrapping requirements for in-state solar and wind power — two major
moves that will weaken Ohio's Clean Energy Law. But Seitz says the
changes would keep mandates for utilities to provide one-fourth of their
electricity through alternative sources and reduce consumer consumption by 22
percent by 2025. Environmentalists have been critical of
Seitz's review ever since he announced it in response to pressure from
Akron-based FirstEnergy, which CityBeat covered in further detail here. (Correction: This paragraph previously said utilities are required to provide one-fourth of their electricity through renewable sources; the requirement actually applies to "alternative sources.")
Libertarian mayoral candidate Jim Berns yesterday declared his campaign dead and blamed local media, including CityBeat, for its demise. Berns said the media has done little to promote him over Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls and ex-Councilman John Cranley, who have similar views on every major issue except the streetcar and parking plan, both of which Qualls supports and Cranley opposes. In response, Berns attached a picture of himself playing dead in front of a vehicle. The stunt was just the latest in the Libertarian's campaign, which has included Berns quitting the race for one day before deciding to stay in, the candidate giving away tomato plants while claiming they're marijuana and lots of free ice cream.
Commentary: "Gov. Kasich's Bias Toward Secrecy."
Cranley is airing a new advertisement attacking Qualls. The ad focuses largely on the streetcar and parking plan. As Chris Wetterich of The Business Courier points out, the ad "takes some factual liberties": Parking meters are being leased, not sold, to the quasi-public Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, and it's so far unclear how the money from the lease is going to be spent and if the resulting projects will really favor downtown over neighborhoods.
Hamilton County commissioners approved the next phase of The Banks, which could include another hotel if developers can't find office tenants to fill the currently planned space. The second phase of the project already includes a one-block complex with 305 apartments.
State officials are reporting a 467-percent increase in the amount of seized meth labs this year. "We're seeing a continuous spike," said Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. "It is easier (for people to make the drug). We used to talk about 'meth houses,' or places people would make this. Well, today, you can make it in a pop bottle."
Ohio's school report cards will be released today, allowing anyone to go online and see what a school is rated on an A-F scale.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs yesterday announced more than $317,000 will be directed to Ohio to provide critical housing and clinical services for homeless veterans. The grants are part of the $75 million appropriated this year to support housing needs for homeless veterans.
Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld is launching a new initiative called #RunTheCity, which will allow citizens to run or walk alongside local officials in an event that's supposed to simultaneously encourage access and healthy living. The first event with City Solicitor John Curp, Cincinnati's top lawyer, will be tonight at 6 p.m. at Wulsin Triangle, corner of Observatory Avenue and Madison Road in Hyde Park.
Two Greater Cincinnati companies — U.S. Logistics and ODW Logistics & Transportation Services — made the Inc. 500 list for fastest-growing companies, and more than 50 others made the Inc. 5,000 list. Four landed on the Inc. 500 list last year and one got on the list in 2011.
Another good local economic indicator: Greater Cincinnati home sales jumped 30 percent in July.
Mouse skin cells were successfully transformed into eggs, sperm and babies, but a similar treatment for infertile humans is likely a few decades away.
Libertarian mayoral candidate Jim Berns today pronounced his campaign dead and claimed local media, including CityBeat, is to blame.
"From day one, the Cincinnati Print Media (especially the Enquirer) have thrown Libertarian candidate for mayor, Jim Berns, under the bus," Berns wrote in an email, listing Carl Weiser, Jane Prendergast, Ryan Hoffman and Ben Goldschmidt of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Howard Wilkinson of WVXU, German Lopez of CityBeat and Chris Wetterich of The Business Courier as the main culprits.
In the email, Berns complains that the two frontrunners in the mayoral race — Democrats Roxanne Qualls and John Cranley — have nearly identical records. Those candidates' biggest points of disagreement are the streetcar and parking plan, both of which Qualls supports and Cranley opposes.
The email claims the media should call Berns "courageous, innovative, a real choice" instead of a "perennial candidate."
Berns then attached this picture:
The latest stunt is just one of many that have been part of Berns' campaign.
On July 31, Berns declared he was quitting the mayoral race in protest of the city's primary system, which Berns says favors Qualls and Cranley. A day later, he changed his mind and said he's back in.
On June 4, Berns, who supports marijuana legalization, said he was going to hand out free marijuana plants at a campaign event. The gifts turned out to be tomato plants, not marijuana.
In general, the Libertarian's campaign has focused a lot on giving stuff away. His campaign card proudly touts his intent to give out free ice cream, which he has repeatedly done at events.
As a Libertarian, Berns supports lower taxes and smaller government and opposes drug prohibition. He was endorsed by the conservative Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST).
Cincinnati is generally considered a Democratic stronghold, which has kept Berns' chances of winning the mayoral race very low. The city hasn't had a non-Democratic mayor since Charterite Arnold Bortz left office in 1984. Back then, the local Democratic Party and the Charter Committee were working together through a coalition.
Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld has resolved his petition problems and will appear on the ballot for reelection this November.
"The (Hamilton County Board of Elections) confirmed last night we have more than enough signatures to be placed on the ballot," Sittenfeld wrote in an email.
Sally Krisel, deputy director of the Board of Elections, says the board has so far verified more than 900 signatures out of the 1,500 Sittenfeld turned in. Council candidates need 500 to get on the ballot.
Sittenfeld was one of two candidates who faced petition problems last week. In his case, petitions were found to have crossed-out dates with corrections written on the back, which election officials said might disqualify hundreds of signatures. In response, Sittenfeld renewed his petition drive.
In a Facebook post this morning, Sittenfeld thanked a 93-year-old family friend, a former teacher, City Council candidates and other volunteers for helping with the effort.
Mike Moroski, who was told his original batch of petitions fell 46 signatures short, wrote on Twitter that he turned in more than 1,100 signatures this morning. In a statement, Moroski thanked his team and participants
for helping him collect the signatures, which the Board of Elections will now need to verify.
The deadline for turning in City Council petitions is Aug. 22. Once the Board of Elections finishes verifying the numbers, it will release the full slate of candidates.
Cincinnati mayoral candidate and ex-Councilman John Cranley today announced his two-part innovation plan, which he said would boost government transparency and help continue the nationally recognized momentum Cincinnati has recently gained as a tech startup hub.
The plan would take $5 million over four years from the capital budget and ask local startup incubators Cintrifuse, The Brandery and CincyTech where they would like to see the money going. As one example, Cranley said the money could help host an annual "hackathon" in which savvy innovators compete to create apps that could better connect residents and city services.
When asked specifically where the money would come from, Cranley said it would be part of the $30 million the city allocates each year to capital projects. Cranley also remarked that the city will have more capital funds if he dismantles the streetcar project, which he has long opposed.
Cranley's innovation plan also calls for hiring a chief innovation officer (CIO) and creating "CincyData," a transparency initiative that would gather and publish city data to create "a more efficient, effective and user-friendly City government."
"This is about improving customer service for city services," Cranley said.
The CIO and CincyData would also help find new ways to carry out city services in the hopes of running the local government more efficiently.
Cranley said he's in preliminary talks with Cincinnati Bell to see what it would take and how much it would cost to establish CincyData.
As for the CIO, paying for the position's salary would cost the city about $50,000 to $60,000 a year, according to Cranley. That's about 0.01 to 0.02 percent of the city's operating budget.
Cranley said he currently has no one in mind for the CIO position.
Cranley is running for mayor against fellow Democrat Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, who has publicly supported Cincinnati's startup incubators during her time in City Council; Libertarian Jim Berns; and Independent Sandra "Queen" Noble.
Cincinnati recently gained national recognition for its tech boom in Entrepreneur and CNBC, with Entrepreneur calling the city "an unexpected hub for tech startups."
City Council on Aug. 7 approved using $4.5 million to help move Cintrifuse, The Brandery and CincyTech to new Over-the-Rhine headquarters. Cintrifuse claims the new home will make it easier to attract and keep businesses in Cincinnati, especially since Over-the-Rhine is currently undergoing its own economic revitalization.
An Aug. 14 study from Engine and the Kauffman Foundation found high-tech startups add jobs more quickly than new businesses in other sectors, but the startups are also just as likely to fail as other businesses in the long term. The study also found that tech startups are more likely to cluster, so establishing a city or other location as a hub can help bring in more similar businesses.
Cincinnati Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld and City Council candidate Mike Moroski are both facing issues that could keep them off the ballot this November, but both candidates are renewing their petition drives to correct the issues before it's too late.
Council candidates must file 500 valid petition signatures to the Hamilton County Board of Elections by Aug. 22 to get on the ballot, but two different circumstances are putting those prospects in doubt for Moroski and Sittenfeld.
In Moroski's case, he fell 46 signatures short of the 500 needed. Because the petitions were already filed, he now has to regather all of the necessary signatures and file them to the Board of Elections.
Moroski told CityBeat that he's already collected
more than 200 signatures in the past 24 hours and intends to turn in a batch of 800 to 900 before the filing deadline.
"We're determined to get on the ballot, and we're determined to win," he says.
For Sittenfeld, the circumstances are a little more technical: Because dates were crossed out on various petitions and corrected on the back of the forms, the board isn't sure whether the rules allow them to accept the signatures. If the petitions aren't accepted, Sittenfeld would fall under the 500-signature threshold, even though more than 700 valid signatures were confirmed, according to Sittenfeld's campaign.
To avoid the problems entirely, Sittenfeld is now regathering the necessary signatures.
"The four board members of the (Board of Elections) will make the final decision on the validity of my petitions and I hope and believe it is unlikely that they will invalidate my signatures," Sittenfeld said in an emailed statement to supporters. "However, I am leaving nothing to chance and am determined to continue serving the citizens of our community."
Both candidates are asking supporters who signed the old petitions to come back to them and sign the new ones. If not, they might not appear on the Nov. 5 ballot.
Early voting for the mayoral primary election begins today. The top two winners of this round of voting will go head-to-head in the Nov. 5 election. The candidates: Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, a Democrat who supports the streetcar and parking lease; ex-Councilman John Cranley, a Democrat who opposes the streetcar and parking lease; Jim Berns, the Libertarian who attempted to withdraw from the race but changed his mind a day later; and Sandra "Queen" Noble, an eccentric Independent candidate who sent an F-bomb-laden email to debate organizers.
Cincinnati Council's Budget and Finance Committee approved the construction of Over-the-Rhine headquarters
for Cintrifuse, the startup incubator. The company has been working
from a temporary location downtown, but it claims it needs a better space
to continue attracting businesses, particularly those in the tech
field. Cintrifuse will be joined in its new home by CincyTech and the
Brandery. Although all council members voiced support for Cintrifuse,
Councilman Chris Seelbach disputed using Focus 52 funds to build the new
headquarters. The city administration previously told Seelbach that the
Focus 52 money wouldn't be used to further develop Over-the-Rhine,
which has received a disproportionate amount of city funding to spur the
neighborhood's revitalization.
The committee also approved changes for the next phase of The Banks,
which will include retail space and a nine-story apartment building with about 305
apartments. The first phase of The Banks filled
up fast and won a top award
— two big positives the city and county obviously hope to replicate with the next leg of the project.
It's now up to the development team behind
the project and the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners to approve the next phase.
Council members and city officials voiced opposition yesterday to a tea party campaign to change Cincinnati's pension system. Council members acknowledged the current pension system has problems, but they called the campaign, which is currently gathering petitions to get a proposal on the November ballot, misguided and flawed. The proposal would change the city's pension system to use a defined contribution model similar to 401k plans that are common in the private sector. But just like private sector plans, the new system might require paying into Social Security, which would make the plan more expensive for Cincinnati.
Ohio House Republicans are being asked to hold oversight hearings for JobsOhio, the state-funded, privatized development agency that has been mired in controversy in the past few weeks. Most recently, Dayton Daily News discovered that some members of the JobsOhio board are employed by, on the board of or stockholders in companies that are receiving state aid through JobsOhio. Republicans say JobsOhio's privatized and secretive nature allow it to move faster with deals that attract businesses and jobs to the state, but Democrats argue the agency is too unaccountable and might be wasting and misusing taxpayer money.
Billy Slagle, the convicted murderer who apparently hung himself over the weekend, died without knowing of a plea deal that could have prevented his scheduled execution. CityBeat wrote about Slagle's case in further detail here.
The Ohio Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is upset that charges have been dropped against an allegedly abusive Amish dog breeder. The group had pushed for charges against Jonas Beachy, the breeder, after 52 dogs were pulled from his central Ohio farm with dental disease, feces-smeared coats and paws mangled by wire mesh cages. Circleville Law Director Gary Kenworthy conditionally dismissed the charges because of problems securing veterinarian records for the dogs.
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) announced in a statement today that the Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force, the Ohio Department of Public Safety and ODJFS will be working with the Ohio Network of Children's Advocacy Centers to help minors who are victims of human trafficking. The new collaboration is seen as another step to stop human trafficking in Ohio, an issue that has haunted the state in the past.

Ex-Councilman John Cranley is outraising
Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls in the mayoral race by $124,000, but the
history and research of money in politics suggest the lead might not
matter much, if at all. Mayor Mark Mallory was outspent more than
three-to-one in the 2005 mayoral race by David Pepper, but Mallory won
the vote 52-48 percent. Political scientists argue fundraising and
campaigns generally have a marginal impact, while economic growth, the
direction of the city, state and country, incumbency or successorship,

The board that manages Cincinnati employees' struggling pension system won't make a recommendation to City Council Monday, as originally planned, because it can't decide how much taxpayers and employees should suffer to help fix the $862 million unfunded liability. Board members couldn't agree on the proper balance between benefit cuts and increased funding from the city. Credit rating agency Moody's on July 15 downgraded Cincinnati's bond rating from Aa1 to Aa2 and revised the bonds' outlook to "negative." Moody's stated one of the biggest causes of concern for Cincinnati's debt outlook is its pension fund.
There were massive layoffs at The Cincinnati Enquirer and its parent company Gannett yesterday, including the reported closing of the newspaper's Kentucky office. As of the latest update from Gannett Blog, more than 200 people were laid off nationwide and 11 lost their jobs at the Cincinnati offices. The news comes just two weeks after Gannett CEO Gracia Martore proudly claimed on July 22, "We are accelerating our transformation into the 'New Gannett' every day."
Ariel Castro, the Cleveland man who held and raped three women at his house for years, yesterday was sentenced to life in prison plus 1,000 years.
A few dozen residents organized by a conservative group asked the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority to kill Cincinnati's parking lease at a meeting Thursday. The Port is taking control over Cincinnati's parking meters, lots and garages as part of a controversial deal that will net the city $92 million up front and $3 million or more a year afterward. CityBeat covered the lease in further detail here.
While the Port Authority meeting apparently warranted live tweeting and various articles from several outlets, other local media outlets never covered a streetcar social that involved roughly 200 supporters of the Cincinnati streetcar and Mayor Mallory.
State officials claim average costs for health insurance will soar by 41 percent for Ohioans who buy coverage online under Obamacare, but experts say the state's claims are misleading. "These are sticker prices, and very few people will pay these prices," said Larry Levitt, senior vice president of the Kaiser Family Foundation. "Many will qualify for subsidies." The Republican officials touting the claims of higher costs, including Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, have opposed Obamacare from the start.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald is once again asking for an ethics probe of Gov. John Kasich and JobsOhio, the privatized development agency established by Republicans to replace the Ohio Department of Development. Republicans claim JobsOhio is creating thousands of job in the state, but Democrats argue the agency's secretive nature makes it difficult to verify whether taxpayer dollars are being effectively used.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine yesterday announced a statewide Internet cafe investigation spanning to an establishment in Middletown. "We are still in the beginning stages of what we expect to be a very lengthy investigation," DeWine said in a statement. "While it is too early in the investigation to go into specifics, we do believe the alleged criminal activity at these locations goes beyond illegal gambling." Earlier in the year, Gov. John Kasich and the state legislature effectively banned Internet cafes, which they claimed were hubs for online gambling and illegal activity.
The Ohio crime lab received about 3,300 untested rape kits from law enforcement around the state and found nearly 400 DNA matches after testing more than 1,300 of the kits. DeWine says the extensive tests are helping solve sexual assault crimes.
The Cincinnati Zoo has a region-wide economic impact of $143 million, according to a study from the University of Cincinnati's Economics Center.
Just one day after announcing he's quitting the mayoral race, Libertarian Jim Berns is asking to rejoin. Berns withdrew from the race
Wednesday in protest of the mayoral primary election and debate
schedule. In a statement, he said he had changed his mind because
staying in the race supposedly allows him to shed light on important issues.
Keeping Cincinnati Beautiful is offering a one-day free recycling event Saturday for hard-to-recycle items.
Evolution punishes selfish people, according to a game theory study.
The numbers came in yesterday as political candidates from around the state filed their finance reports. So far, Cranley has raised about $472,000, compared to Qualls' $348,000. Of that money, Cranley has about $264,000 still in hand, and Qualls has nearly $193,000.
The disparity is unsurprising to the campaigns. The Cranley campaign has always said it needs $1 million to win. Qualls, who's been polled as the slight favorite, has a tamer goal of $750,000.
The City Council races are similarly sprawled with cash. Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld is leading the pack with nearly $279,000, while newcomer Greg Landsman topped challengers and even some council members with a total raised of $165,000.
Given all the cash pouring into the campaigns, many people assume it plays a pivotal role. But a look at the history and research shows fundraising might not matter all that much.
Money clearly didn't matter in the 2005 mayoral race. During that campaign, former State Sen. Mark Mallory spent nearly $380,000. Ex-Councilman David Pepper spent $1.2 million — more than three times his opponent. Mallory still won the vote 52-48 percent.
In contrast, money might have boosted Sittenfeld to second place in the 2011 Council races, putting the relatively new challenger only behind the widely known Qualls. Sittenfeld raised $306,000 for that campaign, the most out of anyone in the race.
Still, most political science points to money having a marginal, if any, electoral impact. Jennifer Victor, a political science professor at George Mason University, explains the research in her blog: "Campaigning may help voters focus their attention (see this), be persuasive in some cases (see this), and help deliver successful message (see this). Frequently, macro-economic trends are the best predictors of presidential elections. History tells us that all that money spent by outsiders may not affect the outcome of the election — because campaigns (generally) don't matter (see political science research here, here, and here, for example)."
Instead, political scientists cite other factors as much more important indicators: economic growth, the direction of the city, state and country, incumbency or successorship, name likability and recognition, and political affiliation.
The mayoral primary election is Sept. 10, followed by the final election on Nov. 5. The next finance reports are due Oct. 24.
[Correction: This story originally said $134,000 when the correct number is $124,000.]
Although this year's cuts are being undone, City Hall has been cutting resources to the homeless, long-term unemployed, crime victims and casualties of domestic abuse since 2004. Aid to those groups is part of human services funding, which is supposed to receive 1.5 percent of the operating budget but currently gets a quarter of that at 0.4 percent. To explain the decade of cuts, the city administration typically points to citizen surveys and meetings conducted as part of the priority-driven budgeting process. But a CityBeat analysis of the demographics of the process found they were skewed in favor of the wealthiest Cincinnatians and against low-income people, who benefit the most from human services. For the agencies that receive funding, the history of cuts is even more worrying as Cincinnati prepares for more budget gaps in the next few years.
The state of Ohio will execute Billy Slagle on Aug. 7, even though the prosecutor's office behind the charges asked the Ohio Parole Board to grant him clemency. The parole board denied the request, and Gov. John Kasich last week declined to commute the sentence to life in prison. Slagle was convicted in 1988 of murdering a 40-year-old woman in a gruesome stabbing. His family says he was in an alcohol- and drug-fueled haze at the time and has a history of problems at home, including domestic abuse, that presents extenuating circumstances.
Two longshot mayoral candidates are really upset about Cincinnati's primary system: Independent Sandra "Queen" Noble sent an F-bomb-laden email to debate organizers, and Libertarian Jim Berns quit the race. Under the current primary system, multiple mayoral candidates are allowed to run. But come Sept. 10, voters will select the top two contenders in a primary. Those frontrunners will then face off in a final election on Nov. 5 to pick who will take over City Hall on Dec. 1. Noble and Berns claim the current system favors the two frontrunners — Democrats Roxanne Qualls and John Cranley — by helping them get the most exposure through televised debates after the primary election.
• "GOP Continues Playing Politics with Ohioans' Health"
• "Is Ohio's New License Plate the Worst or Just Bad?"
Cranley has raised more money than Qualls in the mayoral race, according to campaign finance reports filed yesterday. Cranley has raised about $472,000, compared to $348,000 for Qualls. Cranley also has about $264,000 in the bank, while the Qualls campaign has about $192,000 in hand.
Undocumented immigrants who were brought into the country as children will be eligible for in-state tuition at Ohio public colleges, following a decision from the Ohio Board of Regents. The change will save the students thousands of dollars at the state's public schools, which were charging exorbitant out-of-state and international rates before. The undocumented immigrants qualify for legal benefits because of an executive order signed by President Barack Obama earlier in the year that prevents the federal government from prosecuting them. The order falls short of actual legalization on the books, but it grants many benefits under state and federal law.

Staley, NC-- If you have ever stopped by the Main Street Grill in Staley you have probably met, 2 Those Who Care recipient, Gwendolyn McIntosh she has turned her love for baking into a way to help others.
For 20 years, Gwen has been selling her delicious cakes to customers with all the profits going to help out families in need throughout the Triad.
Along with the profits from the cakes, the money put in the tip cup at the Grill also gets added to the collection, "People started putting money in the cup and asking me for what, and you know you have to use your gifts that God gives you, so I love to bake, so you know baking and blessing. So I started baking and putting money in the drawer and people said Miss Gwen what can I do to help?" says Gwen.
According to Gwen the tip jar brings in about five to ten thousand dollars a year, money that her son, the owner of the Grill, is more than happy to give away, "It makes us feel good and some people we give to, a lot of them are anonymous and they really don't want to say nothing and they'll send us cards through the mail or a letter or pull us aside to say thank you." Sammy Matthews says.

As well, allowing zimbra users XXMB of web page hosting based on zimbra login. Also allowing those host headers to be used to direct www traffic to xyz.com
I saw there were people trying to integrate zimbra into their existing environment however we are creating an environment from scratch and would love to use zimbra as the main focus and have the addon features off of that.

LETTER: Pollard, don't turn against students - Opinion
I was kind of suprised when I read that. Maybe it is just my non student glasses clouding my vision. But it is the students who do not seem to be holding up their end of the deal.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775

There were a number of back-handed slaps in that one. Didn't care for it.

That's the dumbest reponse imaginable.
Let me know when you wash the dollar signs off your forehead and brush the weasel off your teeth.
This isn't about money. The Athletic Department has already been paid for all of these tickets. They aren't losing money. It's about fan support.
This person doesn't even understand what the discussion is about.
Another example that even idiots can get a letter published in the Daily.
I'm with you. I think the students construed the original article wrong after reading this one and the one yesterday.
He said he may need to consider taking away some of the student seats in the balcony and open them up to the public.
If they are not being used, there's no point in having them available.
He's not moving the student section to the upper deck or anything.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
Some people get really carried away, and make themselves look like idiots.
Copying part of my post from the recent student thread...
It's not like we're winning a lot of games to drive attendance.
In a perfect world - we'd win 'em all and the seats would be filled. In a quasi-perfect world - we'd all be the die-hard fan variety and show up whether we're 20-0 or 0-20. That's not the case.
We have plenty of die-hards and that's excellent that we do. There is also the "win and I'll come" crowd and while not as desired - they are needed.
Simply put, when we start winning - people will show up. It's a "sad" truth that can't be denied.
And the students are not the only ones to "blame" for not filling the seats and anyone thinking differently is abusing an illegal drug.
The student thing does need addressed and I feel confident it will be. Yet we should not throw rocks in glass houses when the other seats are empty as well.
This guy should get shunned like Bartman.
Forever trying to find a cure for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
What a joke, if I am not mistaken there was a part in the original article where JP said it was not about the money. He just did not want to lose those seats for other fans who maybe wanted a slightly better seat. These letters are more than likely coming from students who have gone to maybe 3 or 4 games but bought the season tickets and dont really understand how the gaping whole up top look to everyone.
This guy should be tarred and featherd, what a maroon.
--Luck of the Cyrish--
Originally Posted by mike4cy

Hey, we Dowling folks take offense to that.
JP is a hero.
Wonder if I could get in the Daily if I wrote a letter titled "To all you Idiots that Don't Get It"
I really wish the Daily would publish the letters of people who are knowledgeable about what they are ranting about. Last I checked, Cy is not going anywhere; didn't we have that thread a while back?
Go for it Gordyo5, it'd be a much better read than today's.

I would like to share with all you our positive experience regarding Zimbra.
Some informations about the company I work for:
- Organization Type: Public Healthcare
- Location: Italy
- Structure: 4 hospital and 12 branch office;
- Number of mailboxes: approx. 3000;
- Infrastructure: Single VM on VMWare ESX hosted in our internal datacenter.
We moved from Netscape Messaging Server to Zimbra Collaboration Suite in late 2007 due to the clearly superior features Zimbra (even back in 2007) offered, like the Web Interface and the advanced collaboration opportunities and we never regret the choice for a single moment.
In 2011 we discovered the perfect complement for our Zimbra infrastructure: ZeXtras Suite. It allowed us to serve and mantain a top-level service with a low impact on the costs.
I wish to thank all the people at Zimbra, keep up your great work.

i am so glad about this. PS4 is gonna be like the first console to have tons of MMO's. im so exited.. and i just cant hide it..
it's 12.99 if you subscribe for 180 days, 13.99 for 60 or 90 days and 14.99 monthly otherwise I believe.
As someone else said I think the compromise that may have to be done for the PS3 sucks if it does affect PC/PS4 players (not sure how it all works)

Garage Apartment Plans from Leading Canadian Designers – The Garage Plan Shop
While the stock plans offered by The Garage Plan Shop can be built almost anywhere, we often hear from Canadian customers looking for plans drawn by Canadian designers. We are pleased to offer two collections of detached garage plans drawn by designers in Canada. Additionally, we also offer a collection of garage apartment plans drawn by a Canadian designer. Garage apartment plans are thoughtfully designed to offer distinct parking and living areas. Typically, they are two-story structures designed with the garage on the main level and living quarters above. Just like garage apartment plans drawn by US designers, those drawn by our Canadian designer are designed to meet national building codes. Keep in mind it may be necessary to take the plans to a local designer to have any changes made or notes added to the plans in order to meet specific provincial codes before construction begins. Additionally, if your building department requires engineering, it will be necessary to hire a local engineer to review the plans and engineer them to meet local building codes and requirements. The engineer must be registered/licensed in the province where you plan to build. Below is a link to our garage apartment plans drawn by a Canadian designer:

I've archery hunted that area a few years. The tag is good for 43,47,471. We always ended up back in 43 because there just seems to be better deer over there than 47 for whatever reason. If you muzzleloader hunt you may consider that tag. Easy to draw and good for all 3 units I believe.
I did the 471 early season hunt and it was amazing how many hikers, 4 wheelers, dune buggies, etc you will see. Beautiful country though !

Lockar Shifter Installation - Shifty BusinessWritten by on August 24, 2011 From Column to Floor
There's nothin' like the feeling of accomplishment you get when you complete one more step in that long road that is rodstoring a classic truck. Every finished chore, repair, or install gets us a bit closer to the light at the end of the tunnel, and right now I'm enjoying that post-shop-time euphoria myself. Yesterday I completed the installation of my new Lokar shifter in Project '57, which means I'm one step closer to getting this baby on the road.
The '57 was originally a manual-shift truck but as part of its rodstoration I chose to replace the three-speed with a top-of-the-line 4L80E from GearStar Performance Transmission that's been treated to GearStar's professional performance upgrades. The new column I'll be using is a floor-shift design as well, which naturally necessitated a floor shifter assembly. Since I'm trying to spare no expense when it comes to this project (you'll notice I said trying) it was only logical that I chose the highest quality shifter mechanism in the aftermarket—a Lokar shifter.
To be honest, I've been using Lokar products for years and when planning the build of the '57 I'd made up my mind well in advance that it'd be fitted with a hot rod-style long Lokar assembly. Well, once I'd gotten to the point where a shifter installation was warranted I hit the Lokar website and checked out what was available for my GearStar tranny. I soon found exactly what I was looking for in the way of a 23-inch swan-neck shifter assembly (PN ATS64L80A). In a matter of a few days my new shifter arrived and I made plans to install it during the course of the very next weekend. The following is the install, which took about an hour or so. It's not rocket science, but I wanted to show how simple Lokar makes it to install so that anyone who's contemplating a similar install will see just how easy it is. So take a look and know that this is an install that even a beginner can handle with confidence. CT
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
That LMC Truck trans cover hides a fresh, new GearStar 4L80E Level 3 transmission that has been built to handle a good 500 hp and up to 500 lb-ft of torque! It came through with a billet B82 1,600-1,800–stall converter that's ideal for powerful street use and towing. As is the case with Lokar products, I've been using GearStar transmissions for a while now and have the utmost respect for those guys. These can be counted as some of the best performance transmissions on the market, and I'm confident this baby will outlast the rest of the truck.After opening up my package containing the new shifter and doing the obviously smart thing—mainly checking its contents against the component parts list to make sure everything needed was there, and of course it was—I pulled aside the trans cover and eyeballed the situation. Luckily, it looked as though I'd be able to complete the installation from the confines of the cab, a bonus in my case since there'd be no crawling and working underneath the truck.Since I've learned the hard way in the past, I made sure to read through the Lokar instruction booklet first, rather than waiting until I ran into a problem. And then I actually followed 'em! Who says ya can't teach an old dog new tricks? Since step 1 involved disassembly of the old shifter etc, I did skip that one. Step 2 had me assembling the main mounting plate. As you can see, there are two threaded holes on the top surface of the plate. The plate is situated so the threaded hole nearest to the plate edge goes toward the front of the trans (toward the engine).Next, I dug through the hardware pack and found a pair of aluminum plugs that are inserted into the two bosses cast into the transmission case (one on either side). The plugs are inserted into the bosses with the flat ends toward the trans case.I then grabbed the two side mounting brackets (there are a right and left bracket, so pay attention) and attached 'em to the main plate using the supplied 5/16-24x1/2 Allen-head bolts and lock washers. Leave them rather loose at this point, it'll make things easier to align down the road.The next step had me attaching the rear mounting bracket to the main plate. The rear bracket mounts to that plate with its long ears facing forward (toward the bellhousing). Leave these bolts rather loose for the time being as well.Next, the instructions had me back to the side mounting brackets to thread in the two rather large set screws. These screws fit into the aluminum plugs I'd inserted into the trans case bosses earlier (basically squeezing the side brackets against the case and holding the assembly tightly to the transmission).
It was then back to the side mounts—at this point all the mounting bolts should be tightened, the side, rear, and main plate.With the main mounting plate positioned and all bolts tight I was then at the point where the shifter assembly is attached to the mounting plate assembly.The design allows the shifter assembly to be installed in a variety of positions, either toward the front or the rear of the mounting bracket. One thing to keep in mind is that if you choose to use the forward-most mounting hole you may very well need to add an accessory bellcrank kit (Lokar PN S-6999) that's available as a separate part. In my case I chose to mount the shifter one position back from the front-most mounting.Here's the shifter assembly shown in place on the mounting bracket. The next step was to make sure the shift lever was in the correct orientation (at about the 4:30 position) and to attach the secondary lever to the side of the trans. I then eyeballed the threaded shift rod, cut it to the correct length (making sure the shifter and trans lever were in the Park position before doing so), and threaded on the jamb nuts and rod ends. Keep in mind that the farther forward you mount the shifter on the bracket, the higher you'll have to position the shift arm (say at 4:00 versus 4:30) so you don't over-center the lever, causing binding. After everything was mounted and tightened up I ran the shifter through the gears several times, making slight adjustments in the shift rod assembly as needed. After an adjustment or two I was satisfied and everything worked perfectly.
I measured the distance from the front edge of the mounting flange to the mounting surface of the floor and found it to be about 2¾-inches.I took that 2¾-inch difference and transferred it to the rear edge of the original opening and marked it as shown.I opened the opening up using a cut-off wheel and with the help of a couple of small but powerful magnates positioned the piece I'd removed from the bottom of the opening to the top.I then welded the piece in place and presto-chango, the opening was perfect, well, close enough for me anyway. The only thing left to do at this point is to install a shifter boot (which I'd forgotten to order at the same time as the shifter) and it's on to the next step in the '57's rodstoration. So, if you're contemplating a floor shift conversion or replacement, the Lokar shifter is the way to go. Not only are they high-quality but they're easy to install too!

No. 17 Iowa State Falls to St. Mary's, 3-1

More from Cyclones.tv
Turning Point of the Match
In all three of Iowa State's sets that they fell in, you can find early runs that put the Cyclones into holes they were never able to get out of. In the first set, St. Mary's jumped into a 4-0 lead before Christy Johnson-Lynch called a timeout. Iowa State recovered well, reducing the deficit to 14-13 at one point, but ISU was unable to tie or get ahead in the set.
In the third frame, SMU scored the first two points and though ISU was able to get a tie at 3-3 the Cyclones were never in the lead during the set. In the fourth set, St. Mary's got ahead 4-1 before eventually pulling ahead 9-4 and forcing Iowa State to take a timeout. ISU never led in the set and was only tied at 1-1.
Discuss it now. Visit out Facebook page to have your say on the turning point of today's game.
Cyclone Match Ball Goes to…
Victoria Hurtt. The junior All-American seemed unstoppable at times. Hurtt had one of her best attacking performances of her career with 21 kills at a .462 hitting percentage. With ISU trying to battle back in the fourth, Hurtt was at her absolute best, finishing the frame with eight kills at a .583 hitting percentage.
Honorable mention goes to Ciara Capezio, who recorded her second consecutive double-double with 15 kills and 11 digs.

I'm referring to Bug 78300 – Migration does not handle localised outlook accounts appropriately.
Had contacted the support, but the solution would be to sit here and wait till the new ZCS-version would be released, passing time the running Exchange 2003 dies slowly.
So I have to react in a way the business can go on.
My observation:
I tried the MigrationWizard and everything seems to be migrated, minus a few appointments.
All standard mailfolders, like Inbox, Outgoing, Sent are not visible for the user, nor the admin, although they're imported regarding the logs.
I think the MigrationWizard is not able to assign the german "Posteingang" to inbox, like the other folders mentioned above.
Contacts, appointments and own created folders, named different, e.g. "Posteingang_1", are migrated the way they should.
Tasks are imported only when they are in the root of tasks.
If a user has created subfolders in Outlook, the MigrationWizard is noticing them, reporting the correct number of tasks, seems to migrate them in the next step, but in the end only tasks in the root are visible, there are no subfolders.
The logs say something different.
Anybody got a similar behavior? Or everybody is using the US-Version of Exchange for Migration?
Is there a way to get the tasks in the subfolders migrated? We've got users with a large number of tasks that have to be migrated.

SNELLVILLE, Ga. -- For Aimee Copeland, now in a rehabilitation facility, a community is coming together to renovate her home so she will enjoy every comfort and be able to easily get around.
PHOTOS | A home fit for Aimee Copeland
The first thing to go is an outdoor deck on the back of the house.
It is being torn down by a group of local volunteers, whose efforts are being coordinated by a Gwinnett County contractor.
In its place will be a two-story 1,800 square foot fully accessible living space specifically designed to accommodate Aimee Copeland. It will take six to eight weeks to complete that project.
For Casey Moon, a general and renovation contractor, volunteering was as easy decision, and his friends lined up right behind him.
"How can you not want to help?" Moon said. "I've always been that way. I was raised that way. My family raised me to help and that's what I truly try to do."
"I have kids of my own, and it's just touches everybody's heart and you want to come out and help," added Josh Silvers, a volunteer.
"I'm just out here to help," said Garrett Nordille, another volunteer.
"I have two children of my own and I can only imagine something like this happening and wanted to stop here and help them out a little bit," he added.
And with temperatures hovering in the 90's, ripping apart a deck is tough work.
The 11Alive Help Desk caught the volunteers in a short break.
What did they want most?
"Water. Gatorade, anything to keep you hydrated would be good," Silvers said.
So off the Help Desk went to pick up an ample supply and make a quick roundtrip.
"That's good stuff," the volunteers said as they polished off bottles of Gatorade.
When the construction is all finished and everything is in place, one thing will remain through it all - a small fig tree given to Aimee Copeland by her grandfather. It is being kept in place and won't be touched.

Brace yourselves people: the Djokovic Clan is looking to begin their full-scale invasion of the ATP Tour this week in Bangkok.
Nole is the top seed at the Thailand Open with a potential Aussie Open final rematch with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga who comes in as the second seed. But here's the more intriguing news: Nole's brother Marko, the family's "Jan Brady", received a wild-card into Bangkok, his first main draw into a pro-tourney, and the two could meet in the quarterfinals.
Let's hope the Djoko's have learned from their past mistakes and put Mare in the PR machine (high, spin cycle please) before he starts spewing chunks of nonsense publicly too.

How this guy is getting a straight wild card for a pro tournament when he is 3rd last in the serbian ranking and in the world is 1734!!!??
Hooooowwww???? That its completely straight slap to other youngster on higher ranking than him.
What ATP its doing? What is this? a Monarchy.
My view once again is in the side of other players, not against Marko. Wild cards are give to kids that are doing ranking in the country of event, and thats not the situation in this case..to sad
Hmm...good point Uvijek. I guess the parents were at work already! "Let Marco in or Novak's staying home!"ReplyDelete
That's pure conjecture on my part, of course. Don't mean to smear poor Novak's name. But still - might suspicious, no?
Uh oh! I dunno if the world can handle Marko! :PReplyDelete
actually freakyfrites, those were my exact thoughts.ReplyDelete

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - If there's a worse time than right now for
the sports fan, please let me know.
Pro basketball will soon get better, I realize that.
As will college basketball as we (thankfully) finish up the meaningless regular
season, and the almost-as-meaningless conference tournament season and finally
get to the Madness.
The NHL, as stated in this space a week ago, is really good with the shortened
season, but that league thrives on its playoffs, which, obviously, aren't here
Golf doesn't count until the Masters.
And the NFL Draft is still almost two months away (NFL free agency begins next
Tuesday and that's cool for about half an hour before you figure out your
team didn't sign anybody).
But, thankfully, alleluia even, we have baseball. And today, in the early part
of spring training, let's take a look at the American League and some of the
questions that need to be answered in Florida and Arizona over the next four
weeks (on Thursday, the focus will shift to the National League).
How will the AL teams start to adjust to the Houston Astros coming over from
the National League?
Well, after they stop laughing, they'll deal with it. Let's face it, the 'Stros
were going to losing 100 games if they stayed in the NL. In the stronger AL,
sadly, they may lose 110. Really good seats still available.
A bigger adjustment trying to be made in the Grapefruit and Cactus leagues is
getting pitchers ready to hit.
With interleague play now a season-long deal, AL pitchers are going to find
themselves swinging the bats all too often. They won't like and neither will
the fans, but when you have different rules in the same sport, you're asking
for trouble.
A solution? Either say goodbye to the designated hitter, which will never
happen because the union won't let it, or put the DH in both leagues for good.
I can't believe I just wrote that, and I would much rather kill off the DH and
make baseball truly baseball again, but adopting the DH for both leagues seems
like the only option.
There are few things better in the game than watching a pitcher who can hit,
and sacrifice bunt, to help his team and himself. Those guys, though, are way
too rare.
(It amazes me, though, when you think about it. These 25-year-old pitchers
were undoubtedly the best hitters/pitchers not only on their high school teams
but in their whole local area, and not that long ago. But today, hand them a
bat and they hold it like it's a time bomb. What happened, fellas? You went
from Joe Stud hitter at Lincoln High to Al Dork holding a piece of wood in so
short a time. Weird.)
OK, moving on. Will we have a new player in the AL East? The Toronto Blue Jays,
who acquired the NL Cy Young winner in R.A. Dickey and most of the Miami
Marlins, are the chic pick to make a run at the top. And they'll be chased by,
or chasing, the New York Yankees? No. The Boston Red Sox? No. The Baltimore
Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays? Yes.
That's not good news for fans of the Bombers or the Sawx, but it is refreshing
for the rest of us to see new blood.
And out West we'll keep an eye on the "Angels product" as loaded Anaheim tries
to work in Josh Hamilton to a nasty lineup.
If Albert Pujols is healthy. And Hamilton is Hamilton. And Mike Trout comes
anywhere near to what he did last year. And let's not forget about Mark Trumbo.
Yes, that's a lot of ifs, but if you have enough ifs, some of them are going to
work out for you. In this case, the more ifs the better.
The AL West, thanks to the Astros (yeah, Astros!), now will have the same
number of teams as everybody else. Good symmetry at least.
All right, that's it for today. And we didn't even say (or even mention) the
team that's going to win the World Series. They're in the AL, but that pick
will come a little down the road. It'll likely be wrong, but we'll wait a bit.

newspapers for over 25 years.
