Profiles in public service
Are there still public servants in Washington? Not grasping for power, but ready to give it up? That's at the heart of a Christian understanding of how to live. John the Baptist said that Jesus "must increase and I must decrease." But such thinking is foreign to many in Washington, who consider it folly to be a true public servant rather than a power accumulator. Here are two exceptions, departing White House faith-based programs chief Jim Towey and Indiana congressman Mark Souder.
"Profiles in public service" Continued...
Leaving the White House
Given how few Washingtonians leave the precincts of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue voluntarily, Jim Towey's action on April 18-resigning as head of the White House faith-based office to become president of a small Catholic college in Pennsylvania-was refreshing. He told WORLD that he was "filled with gratitude" for the opportunity he had but "saddened by the stranglehold that certain entrenched interests have."
Mr. Towey did not have huge power during his four years as the president's almoner: Karl Rove and other practitioners of advanced political calculus had more. But Mr. Towey had moved from the right hand of Mother Teresa to the left hand of George W. Bush, and although he could play by Washington rules there often seemed to be a wistfulness about him: Maybe it was better back in Calcutta.
The 49-year-old Towey had long felt the tug of both power and powerlessness, and zig-zagged between the two. In 1985 he was a senior aide to Sen. Mark Hatfield, a liberal Republican who wrote about his own Christian tensions in a book aptly titled Between a Rock and a Hard Place. When Mr. Towey that year met Mother Teresa in India, he abandoned the hardness of Capitol Hill and clambered onto the rock of faith shown him as she, and then he, served bedridden men with sores.
But Mr. Towey was also called to be a lawyer, and his personable seriousness led him to odd assignments such as pushing a Nashville coffeehouse to stop selling T-shirts displaying an image of a cinnamon bun made to look like Mother Teresa. A politically caffeinated assignment followed: two years as secretary of Florida's Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, until Republican legislators forced him out.
This time Mr. Towey, a Democrat, survived four years amid the swirling political winds. He leaves carrying his shield rather than on it, in a move that was months in the works and not part of the current White House shakeup. And he leaves sharply critical of long-term federal grants recipients that "don't compete for the funds. They don't have to show results. . . . These so-called protectors of the poor only care about the dollars."
Mr. Towey mentioned specifically the National Head Start Association: "Groups that get Head Start money will keep it until they go out of business." He also complained about drug-treatment block grants, which continue to go out whether "anyone recovers in the programs or not," and some after-school programs. He spoke of "really dynamic programs on the local level" developed by local Catholic Charities, but "I've been disheartened to see how partisan the national organization has been."
The Washington Post recently complained that "the administration has funneled at least $157 million in grants to organizations run by political and ideological allies." The Post was shocked that faith-based groups promoting abstinence education in South Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and five organizations run by black and Hispanic leaders who endorsed Mr. Bush, all received grants.
Mr. Towey scoffed at reports that religious groups are taking over governmental social services: In area after area, Congress has "earmarked hundreds of millions, and faith-based groups only get a tiny percentage." He's right, and even the Post acknowledged that "White House officials and new offices in ten Cabinet-level departments have aggressively sought to widen the 'pool' of applicants for federal grants for all kinds." Liberal newspapers megaphone the complaints of those already in the pool who do not want newcomers splashing around.
The faith-based czar did not use the apologetic favored by some elected as conservatives, Yes, why shouldn't we get into the pork line? We want ours. It's only fair! Because of such thinking, decentralizing tools such as poverty-fighting tax credits and an expansion of social service vouchers have largely been ignored: They should be used, Mr. Towey said, but "we need more people in Congress calling for them," since at this point such proposals are "dead on arrival in Congress."
That Mr. Towey is a bit odd for Washington became clear when he announced to the press that he was leaving the White House. One reporter asked, "You said, before you even took the job, that one of your career goals was to get to heaven. Do you think you're a little closer?" That's a rare question in Washington, and it's even rarer for an official to know where to begin in answering it.
Mr. Towey, who has five children ranging in age from 3 to 13, first deflected the question to his wife Mary, who joked, "It's more his marriage with me that's helping him attain that goal than this job." He then said, "You're as holy as your last prayer. So my career goal remains to get to heaven, and I've felt this job is part of my journey. And now my next step, to St. Vincent College, will be part of my journey. I always trust myself to the mercy of God."
He spoke of "something America can teach the world, about how diverse faiths live together. I had the chief of staff to the president of France in here about a month ago, and he looked at this picture of the president praying in public, and he said, our president could never do that." And Mr. Towey then spoke of joking with Karl Rove, to whom all things are political: "I finally got even with him right before Christmas, when I was able to ask the president, with Karl seated there, and a number of other senior staff, whether Karl was a product of evolution or intelligent design." Mr. Towey laughed and said, "Some things are just deep mysteries."
What's happened to compassionate conservatism since 2000 is not a deep mystery: In retrospect, it should have been clear that the central, decentralizing thrust of compassionate conservatism was dead on arrival not only in Congress but in much of the executive branch as well. Give individual taxpayers tax credits for contributions to poverty-fighting groups, so the groups they favor will get more and Washington officials will have less to hand out to their favorites? Fat chance.
Vouchers so that those in need can decide where to get help instead of going to the organizations Washington prefers? No political capital in that.
The long-term good news during Jim Towey's tenure was that, as he noted, "The faith-based initiative has taken root in the heartland. . . . People who wanted to dismiss it have learned that it is central." Over 30 states now have faith-based offices: Mr. Towey mentioned those in Florida, Ohio, and Michigan as particularly effective, and singled out those in Massachusetts and Indiana as showing new promise.
As long as Washington officials do have huge funding power, Mr. Towey has asserted, they should not discriminate against religious organizations. Recently, courts have begun to agree with him. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld the right of AmeriCorps grant recipients to teach in religiously affiliated schools: Since the Supreme Court in January declined to review the case, that appeals-court ruling stands. Meanwhile, a federal district court has ruled that religious organizations retain their hiring autonomy when they receive federal financial assistance for the provision of social services: Such funding does not make them an arm of the government.
Hurricane Katrina, Mr. Towey points out, taught that faith-based groups "should be treated as valuable partners and not as candy-stripers . . . as a first resort, not the last." One legacy of the faith-based initiative is that, with catastrophes that go beyond human agency still called "acts of God," maybe the Bible-based volunteers who play crucial roles in relief and recovery will be called arms of God. -by Marvin Olasky
Staying on in Congress
We've all become used to seeing bombastic congressmen ready to orate at the drop of a soundbite opportunity. But with his glasses and quiet, serious demeanor, Mark Souder looks more like a high-school history teacher than a six-term member of Congress. He talks that way too: Asked about a political issue, Mr. Souder quietly explains the history of the subject, then moves to his own position and an accurate summary of his opponent's, and finally forecasts how the issue will play out in the next electoral cycle.
"I call him a walking encyclopedia of politics and government," says Indiana state Sen. Dennis Kruse, a fellow Republican and conservative. "He can give more facts and figures and case studies than any public official I have ever been around. I've been around as long as he has, and I don't know how he can remember so much."
Some of his predecessors moved on to statewide and national office, yet Mr. Souder wraps his ambitions around the internal work of the U.S. House of Representatives and his district back home. He is the kind of politician who makes the machinery of government work, as he labors quietly on behalf of his convictions.
The issues he has tackled in Congress are not designed for maximum name recognition: illegal drug flow; national park upkeep; prisoner release. As chairman of the House Criminal Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources subcommittee, he's becoming a leading expert on stopping the flow of illegal drugs into the country.
"Bill Bradley once said that the way to be an effective congressman is to find a niche area of expertise and become everyone's expert on that topic," says Indiana state Rep. Luke Messer, who also has been executive director of the state Republican Party. "Mark has really done that with the drug-interdiction issue, on the problem of production of drugs in South America and other Third World countries."
Through another committee assignment, Mr. Souder also has become a leading authority on national parks. He thinks conservatives ought to be the leaders of the conservation movement, and he claims for his side the leading Christian intellectual in American history, Jonathan Edwards, a pastor, theologian, philosopher, and evangelist to the Indians. "The root word is conserve," he says. "Jonathan Edwards was an early environmentalist who believed we should be stewards of what God created. John Muir, the founding influence on national parks, was an avid evangelical and quoted Bible verses all the time."
Another favorite topic is helping inmates prepare to leave prison and find a job and new way of life. It may not win him more votes with conservatives, but he sees it as part of a way to reduce crime and be a real compassionate conservative. "What are we going to do with them?" he asks. "I don't have an easy answer. But we have to make an effort. We can't control crime in America if we don't."
Mr. Souder has the freedom to tackle the less popular issues because his district is conservative and his credentials as a conservative Christian are about as secure as they come. He grew up in the kind of world that some homeschoolers and conservative Christians have tried to recreate in recent years for their families. Grabill, Ind., was a small town dominated by a Christian consensus, even in the 1960s. His great-grandfather, Henry Souder, started a general store, which is still owned by the family and is now restored in 1890s style as part of a historical renovation.
Mr. Souder looks back on the small-town upbringing and sees advantages. "It was a very religiously based small town," Mr. Souder said. "When others were arguing about marijuana, we were arguing at the school about whether to have a sock-hop school dance." From the town fathers, Mr. Souder learned civic responsibility. "When that bank went broke, five businessmen got together and made sure that we had a bank. It was civic responsibility, caring about your community, believing you had obligations beyond your own self."
Mr. Souder's Christian faith runs across the generational lines of Grabill as well. Some of his ancestors were Amish. Yet his faith is not something inherited: It gives him a set of fixed principles, which can get in the way of a move into leadership in the House or higher office in Indiana. "Sometimes his philosophy, and his strong adherence to his philosophy, get in the way of compromise," says state Rep. Jeff Espich, another Republican from the northeast part of the state. "It does interfere with his ability to be seen as a bigger player in some arena."
One predecessor in Mr. Souder's House seat, former vice president Dan Quayle, went on to the Senate, then the vice presidency. Another, Dan Coats, went to the Senate, then to a term as ambassador to Germany. But Mr. Souder seems content to work on issues that don't attract big headlines but matter in the lives of people.
"What propels you into political life was different for Mark than what propels most people into the level of a member of Congress," says former Indiana secretary of state Ed Simcox. "Mark is fundamentally an intellectual. Most members of Congress are politicians first instinctively. They rely on research and preparation by others. They come into politics because they are political animals. But Mark Souder's intellectual curiosity is what really led him into politics."
His work for Messrs. Quayle and Coats gave him experience in making others successful, getting him ready to serve in Congress and to give the spotlight to others in order to advance his ideals. He loves the political process as well as the policy issues. That characteristic endears him to some of his political opponents.
In 2002 the most serious primary challenge of his career came from fellow Republican Paul Helmke, a former Fort Wayne mayor. Mr. Helmke was a guest of Mr. Souder at a subsequent political event. Mr. Souder left his other guests, greeted Mr. Helmke, got tickets for him and wanted to show him an expansion of his political button collection. "He should have been talking to constituents," Mr. Helmke recalled. "Mark is unique. He is not a typical politician. He knows how to play hardball. But he's more of a student of politics. He loves the give and take. He loves the behind-the-scenes part of it."
Though clearly a part of the Christian conservative movement, Mr. Souder does not follow a movement or party line. He voted against three of the four impeachment charges against President Clinton because he thought the president acted immorally but not impeachably. Back in the 1980s, as an aide to then U.S. Rep. Dan Coats, he helped Mr. Coats develop the notion that Christian conservatives need to compete with liberals in offering better ways to help people in need. Later, Texas Gov. George W. Bush would call it compassionate conservatism and take the idea all the way to the White House.
His methods work on Election Day in a predominantly Republican district in a state that last voted for a Democrat for president in 1964. Mr. Souder was elected in the Republican wave of 1994, and he seems to have discouraged potentially strong candidates from running against him. Mr. Souder's opponent this year, Fort Wayne city councilman Tom Hayhurst, has led Mr. Souder in fundraising this year, yet the incumbent is expected to win another term.
"Don't make assumptions that underestimate Mark Souder," says Fort Wayne mayor Graham Richard, a Democrat who decided not to challenge Mr. Souder. "He learned how to run campaigns in the Quayle and Coats era and is a masterful political tactician and combines that with his own internal compass." -by Russ Pulliam

1955 Chevy Cameo Pickup Truck - Built To Drive '55Written by on February 1, 2010 Joe Horisk's Chevy Cameo
If you're into immediate gratification, then reading magazines like this one is a great hobby, but building the type of trucks that fill these pages is probably not. Joe Horisk, the owner of this beautiful '55 Cameo could tell you that. He's loved vintage iron since he was a teenager, and he knows that owning a great car or truck can sometimes require years, maybe even decades, of patience.
Joe had his share of hot rod and custom cars in his younger days and-this part of the story is familiar-put aside his hobby during his family raising years, only to return to it later in life. In the last several years, he's owned a whole bunch of cars, and won a bunch of awards with them. But until now, his trucks have been for transportation or work purposes only. Although this is the first custom-built truck in Joe's collection, his interest goes back 55 years to 1955 in northern Delaware, and a local guy who drove around in one of these brand-new Cameos.
Chevrolet was thinking ahead 55 years ago, when they realized that customers might be buying trucks at least partially based on looks, and put their pickups through a mid-year redesign. The Cameo was designed as something more than just a piece of heavy machinery. With new wraparound glass, headlight eyebrows, egg-crate grille, and wraparound front bumper, these new trucks more closely resembled the passenger cars of that same model year than they did the fat, round pickups of the previous year.
Joe's hunt for the right raw material ended when he flipped open a copy of the Goodguys Gazette and saw a photo of this truck in the classified ad section. Mesa, Arizona, is a long way from Delaware, but Joe called a friend from Phoenix who checked out the truck and reported back that it was a good one-nice looking, and partially built, with a '79 Camaro front clip and a TCI back half with a Winters quick-change.
Once the Cameo arrived on the East Coast, the Camaro clip, which was too wide for the truck, was replaced with Heidts tubular control arms and 2-inch drop Superior spindles, as well as a stock Camaro sway bar and a GM power steering box.
In the back, the quick-change was swapped for a more streetable 9-inch rearend from John's Industries packed with 3.50:1 gears with a limited-slip and 31-spline axles. The four-link and Panhard bar are from TCI. Joe runs QA1 shocks and springs and Wilwood disc brakes at all four corners.
The centerpiece of the sanitary engine compartment is a 540ci Chevy big-block crate motor, built by Smeding Performance. The satin-black Cadillac air cleaner feeds a Holley 820-cfm carburetor on an Edelbrock intake manifold. Sanderson headers draw the exhaust, with Flowmaster mufflers on 2 1/2-inch exhaust tubing. Spark is provided by MSD. The aluminum accessory brackets are from Billet Specialties. The Rat motor is tied to a Turbo 400 automatic put together by Pro-Trans Transmission Specialists.
Bright red is the theme inside the cab, where Dean Alexander in Middletown, Delaware, covered the Glide bench seat with that solid-tone Ultraleather, and carried the color over to the plush wool carpet, custom headliner, and custom-built door panels. The '55-56 Chevy-style steering wheel is a smaller-diameter 15-inch replacement from American Retro. The full-tilt column with shifter is from Flaming River. The truck dash was replaced by a double-hump dash from a '55-56 Chevy passenger car. United Speedometer Services supplied the stock appearing, but upgraded gauges, including oil, amp, temp, and fuel, as well as a 140-mph speedometer. Climate control is provided by a Vintage Air air-conditioning system. A Ron Francis wiring kit was installed to get juice going where it's needed.
It's a luxury to be able to build a project vehicle from intact sheetmetal, and the truck came to Delaware rust free after its years in the desert of the Southwest. Even the factory fiberglass was where it was supposed to be on the rear fender skins and outer tailgate.
During the build, the area between the tailgate and rear quarters was boxed in, the rear bumper was reshaped to to fit flush with the lower rear quarters, and most of the decorative chrome trim and emblems were eliminated. The chrome that remained was redone at N.E.L. Metal Restorations in Philadelphia. When the truck was ready for paint, Dwayne Snyder shot the DuPont white, with red on the inside of the bed and on the rear pillars, characteristic of Cameos.
By the time the project was finished, two years had gone by and Joe's Cameo had evolved way beyond the everyday driver he had originally planned-this part of the story is familiar too-into a top shelf-show truck. Of course, "better than expected" is always preferable to the alternative and even if Joe's Cameo doesn't get driven daily, it does get regular exercise, especially if there's a truck show to go to.

Is there any way the data folder can be moved in Zimbra desktop 2 beta 1 from one drive to another. I do like to keep as little as possible on C drive and always keep all user data on D drive. However, in Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium, the default Users folder is in C drive. I want to have Zimbra data folders in the same D:\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\... where I have the installed program files for Zimbra (not the default location in Users... folder).
The default behavior in ZD 1 was to have data folders in same tree as installed program files. In ZD 2, it is changed to segregate data for different users.

Goin' To Kansas CityWritten on April 1, 2003 Goodguys Gets a Huge Turnout for the First Mid-Western Nationals
When the Goodguys organization first announced plans for the new Mid-Western Nationals in Kansas City, we really didn't know what to expect. On one hand, it's a booming metro area with plenty of hot rod activity that hasn't had a "national"-type event to call its own for several years. On the other hand, it's not terribly far from other Goodguys events (Des Moines, Colorado Springs, Ft. Worth), and it was scheduled for October 11-13, a time when Midwestern weather is particularly unpredictable.
Any doubts we may have had quickly vanished Friday morning as we rolled into the infield of Kansas Speedway and were greeted by more than 2,000 hot rods, cool customs, and trick trucks. That number grew steadily throughout the weekend, topping out with a total of 2,949 registered vehicles -- the second-largest turnout for an inaugural event in Goodguys' 20-year history! Just as impressive were the distances traveled, as we saw a bunch of rides from Illinois and Texas, and a huge contingent from Minnesota. Needless to say, this will be an event to watch in the years to come. The 2003 happening is scheduled for September 19-21 -- get there if you can.

Mike Brown got the Young Guys Pick from Goodguys and plenty of respect from us for his burnt orange F-1. Built by Mike on a budget, the clean cruiser has everything you'd expect of a high-dollar ride, from the Mustang IFS and 8-inch rearend, to the 5L V-8, AOD trans, and Vintage Air system.Eagle-eyed readers will remember Scott Matney's bright-yellow '55 Chevy from our June 2001 issue. It's still lookin' sweet, and was an easy pick for our Top Ten. A hand-built frame gives it that just-right stance, with ET wheels adding proper attitude. Add a chopped top, tucked bumpers, tan leather gut, and 502-inch powerplant into the mix and you've got a hauler that's sure to garner attention for years to come.We first spied Stephen Bruno's sharp '66 Chevy at Americruise in June, but this was the first chance we had to give it an award. A bodyman by trade, Steve created a unibody by welding the bed to the cab, then continued the custom theme with a billet grille, rectangular headlights, a smooth tailgate, and a rolled rear pan. The Ultra Violet Pearl paint is set off with airbrushed trim and graphics.George Staley tells us that his '48 Ford panel truck is 90 percent home built, but that doesn't keep it from being professional quality. Under the fiberglass tilt nose is a 429-inch big-block sitting on a Mustang II IFS, with a C6 tranny and 9-inch rearend completing the all-Ford drivetrain. UltraLeather upholstery, tilt steering, cruise control, and air conditioning make the cabin comfy. Paint is a very subtle two-tone of PPG Khaki and Frost Beige.Another former feature truck that caught our eye in Kansas City was Clay and Bonnie Coale's '48 Chevy (April 2002). Built almost entirely by Clay and his son Jason, this Torch Red beauty sports a chopped top, frenched lights, smooth running boards, widened rear fenders, rounded stake pockets, and a smooth bed floor. Billet Specialties wheels finish off the outside, and tan leather adorns the cabin. As if you couldn't guess, Clay runs a body shop in Nevada, Missouri.Apple green wheels and deep black paint make a perfect hot rod combination, and definitely helped turn our attention to Larry Ward's '46 Chevy pickup. Of course, it also didn't hurt that the truck also has a killer stance, independent front suspension, and exceptional fit and finish. But Larry really sealed the deal when he lifted the hood to reveal not a small-block, but 454-inches of Rat motor!Some people say that '56 big windows are the only mid-'50s F-100s worth building, but Ron Carson's clean '53 should be a good argument for considering earlier models. A chopped top gives it a slinky profile that's enhanced further with shaved trim and handles, rolled pans, and deep red paint. A Volare subframe gets the nose down low, while a 351 Windsor and C6 automatic keep this Ford cruisin' down the highway in style.The moment we saw Ted Lesher's '60 Chevy we knew it had to be part of our Top Ten. For starters, the black paint is just gorgeous (this photo doesn't do it justice), and leaving the stock cat-eye hood in place makes an equally bold statement. A 468ci big-block gives the Chevy some hot rod attitude, while the lowered stance, 17-inch Billet Specialties wheels, and gray UltraLeather interior add a proper amount of smooth style.
Big-block power seemed to be a trend with our Kansas City Top Ten, as John Van Maele's bright yellow '50 Studebaker--nicknamed the "Stud Rad"--also has 468ci of big-block Chevy stuffed between the fenders. The stylin' Stude also has a Doug Nash five-speed, Air Ride suspension, Billet Specialties rollers, and Nissan taillights helping its cause. We especially like the contoured front bumper.How would you like a little extra room in your '48 Chevy cab? That's what Dennis Quin wanted, so he added 22 inches and slider-style quarter windows to the back of his cab. Dennis has built a bunch of '47-54 Chevys, and set this one up with the same '86 Monte Carlo front frame stub and small-block Chevy combo that seems to work on all of 'em. If the stretched cab doesn't grab ya, the 18- and 20-inch Billet Specialties wheels and PPG Hot Red paint should.It's not often we get a chance to put a Willys in our Top Ten, so it's no wonder that Mike and Nina Sullivan's blue '41 made it on the list. Rather than go for the Gasser look, this one is low and sleek with a Mustang II front suspension and four-link rear. But the best part has to be the 425-horse Chevy 409 lurking under the hood.Gary Warren's '47 Chevy probably has the most distinctive bed treatment we've seen in a while. We're not sure if the box started life as a utility unit or was hand-built, but it matches the cab contours perfectly, and the '60s Ford passenger car lights lend some funky rocketship appeal to the cool Chevy.

FHP: Driver in crash that killed two men was impaired
Published: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 4:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 4:00 p.m.
The driver of a car that hit a tree earlier this year — killing him and a passenger, and injuring two others — was intoxicated and was speeding, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.
Photo Galleries
The crash occurred at 3:11 a.m. April 4, roughly 100 yards from North Marion Middle School, on County Road 329. Cpl. Wallace Dill, a traffic homicide investigator with FHP, stated in his report that the blood-alcohol level of driver Bryan Lorenza Blunt was .258. That level is more than three times the state legal limit of .08, the point at which someone is presumed to be intoxicated. Officials estimated that the speed at which Blunt was driving was in excess of 90 mph.
Blunt, 22, died at the scene, along with Cornelius Lamar Rawls Jr., 19, a former North Marion High School basketball and football player. Blunt played freshman football at the school.
Rawls' brother, Demontay D. Billups, 22, and Eddie D. Woods, 18, were injured in the crash.
Both Billups and Woods told officials that Blunt was drinking during the hours preceding the crash. Troopers said Blunt was taking Billups home and had borrowed the car, a 2008 Dodge Charger, with which he was not familiar.
Billups told investigators the Dodge was accelerating as it entered the curve. He said Blunt lost control as the car went across the center line and eastbound lane.
According to authorities, the car was traveling west on CR 329 when Blunt failed to round the curve and the car went onto the grass shoulder. The left front of the Dodge hit a tree, and Blunt and Rawls were ejected. The driver's seat landed 71 feet 10 inches away. None of the occupants were wearing a seat belt.
Blunt and Rawls were pronounced dead at 3:25 a.m. by Marion County Fire Rescue paramedics.

WINSTON-SALEM � Ten high school students from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts are taking their talents to an orphanage in Haiti this summer.
The school says students will collaborate on art projects with children in a Port au Prince orphanage. The musicians, dancers and visual artists are completing the 10th, 11th and 12th grades, and have studied civics, economics and government with trip leader Jonathan Milner.
Jill Lane, headmaster and dean of the high school academic program at UNCSA, says the school wants to create citizen artists who are aware of and engaged with the world around them.
The trip is financed in part by a grant from the Semans Art Fund at UNCSA, a private foundation that funds opportunities for summer study, special projects, research, and performances.

MCSO: Boy burned while playing with lighter
Published: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 1:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 1:56 p.m.
BELLEVIEW - A 4-year-old boy was taken to a hospital early Wednesday after he apparently burned himself with a cigarette lighter.
The boy's mother told a sheriff's deputy she was asleep in the living room when she was awakened shortly after midnight by her son screaming. She said his shirt was on fire, which she put out by smothering the flames.
The boy was not able to communicate directly with the deputy, but the official noted in his report that the child indicated the incident happened because of the lighter.
The boy was taken to Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville with burns to the right side of his chest.
Deputies were told the boy had been caught several times playing with lighters.
The Department of Children and Families was notified.

I am not even sure how to ask this question, so I will simply describe what I cannot do:
1. I have several email accounts in Zimbra desktop.
2. One account, my gmail address, has an address book with all my contacts. If I use that address auto complete works.
3. If I use any other address, autocomplete does not work.
4. I tried clicking, under preferences for the gmail account address book, "Autocomplete using this address book for all accounts." That ddid not solve the problem.
5. So, what do I do? Add addresses to each email account? If so, how would I do that.
I do enjoy using Zimbra and it is working well in all other aspects.

On Tuesday, June 4 the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs will host a book release and signing for Urban Planning professor Susanna Hecht to debut her new book The Scramble for the Amazon and the Lost Paradise of Euclides da Cunha.
The book has been widely acclaimed and has generated a lot of national — and international — attention. Hecht will speak about the book on Tuesday and then will be signing copies after her talk. The event begins at 6 pm and you can RSVP here.
Hecht took time to answer some questions about her latest release.
Question: Why is the Amazonia Scramble like the Game of Thrones?
Answer: First of all Game of Thrones (GOT) a popular idiom that helps people understand geopolitics. In G.O.T you have the royal houses and their minions in a rivalry for sovereignty in areas that have unclear boundaries and uncertain vassals. Although the dominance is framed in mostly military terms with little reference to economic underpinnings (like gold for the House Lannister), these are basically competitions managed through lineage alliances and betrayals and continual competition for the Iron throne which confers control over several kingdoms that also lay claim to it.
In an analogous way, Amazonia has been in play among Europeans, hemispheric aspirants and its native polities since 1494. Most people see Amazonia as largely a wild place without much social history, but it has a long and significant one, and one that's not just about Spanish and Portuguese rivalries. The Dutch, French, English, Irish (!) had colonies in Amazonia by the 16th century. By the 17th century you basically had a buffer state — a kind of analogue of the "The Wall" — (and for Brazil, Amazonia is "The North") between the holdings of Spain and Portugal formed by religious orders and their missions that stretched from the mouth of the la Plata in Argentina to the Orinoco in Venezuela. Like the Black Watch the ecclesiastics were largely concerned with managing "wildings." Although not known as "crows" they were called the "Urubus"--- after the large and very black Amazon vulture. Their charge was to control the "wildings" and free people who lived beyond fealty to the crowns in an incomprehensible dangerous nature with animals and peoples from other ages, and with wild shamanistic shaping magic (wargs in GOT) and mighty forests and ubiquitous gods — in the "weir woods." These peoples, viewed as lascivious, brutal, cannibal, terms used about GOT wildings and Amazonians — were strangely alluring in their knowledge, autonomy and resistance — were rebellious and threatening in their tropical forests immensity with few forays, but many valuable products seeping out, and lots of metal seeping in. Spain stuck to its mountains and Brazil to its coast while the interior — Amazonia — remained the great unknown to the North.
Many things transpired (this is why the book and G.O.T are long), but for our story, the religious orders were expelled from the new world in the late 18th century (1767), and this was one of the key dynamics of the scramble. The great interior of what had been "Land of the Amazons" had morphed into the religious territories of Chiquitania, Moxos, Maynas and Orinoquia had no real boundaries. Meantime, after the Bolivar liberation, the Spanish empire dissolved into a new set of states in the early 19th century (Bolivia, Peru Ecuador etc), while the Napoleonic wars caused the Portuguese monarch to flee to Brasil and proclaim his tropical Versailles, new Kingdom in the New World in a place rife with slave revolts, political incursions, and disobedient vassals to the North and imperial aspirants from the south (Argentina Paraguay), the West (the Andean countries), the continental north in the Caribbean Amazon (Britain, France, Holland), and hemispheric empire dreamers: the US. Two commodities begin to emerge as key in this new phase of globalization: rubber and gold. The greater Amazon was very rich in both.
The countries surrounding Amazonia began to see it as a new imperial space and full of ambiguous frontiers, confusing treaties and alluring resources tropical exploration took off, and knowledge about the place didn't reside only in the libraries of kings and the Vatican. Explorers like Alexander von Humboldt came in the service of the Spanish crown and de la Condamine spied for the French monarch. Brazilian born Rodrigues Ferriera was at the command of "Mad Maria," the Queen of Portugal. These set the stage for what was the later pattern of Amazonian expeditions which was a mix of espionage and science. Lots of countries had claims from different eras, and the boundaries were physically unknown and politically contested. The Game was on in a big way in this new global phase. Many tropical utopias were set into place like the one set up by the French and peopled with 14,000 blond Alsatians (most died); the Dutch slavocracy which eventually made treaties with another kind of utopia, the renegade slave communities of the Saramaka blacks in Suriname, or the mixed blood and native communities of the wildings. Amazonia even was seen as a possible venue for US Confederate expansion when Brazil was still a slave state, and after abolition, as a possible "New World Liberia" for some of the 6 million freed Americans. Others, such as the French, saw the region as a great kind of penal colony (Kafka's eponymous short story is set in Cayenne).
Imagine a world without waterproofing, and you can begin to see why Massachusetts industrialist TC Wales ran a brisk and prosperous business in importing rubber footware by 1832 and the Portuguese army commanded waterproof and boots cloaks. By mid century steam travel made movement on the great rivers a lot more feasible instead of relying on the treacherous sailing and recalcitrant rowers and by the end of the century rubber was undergoing an innovation explosion as its properties were stabilized so it wouldn't melt in heat or shatter in cold. Explorers and adventurers flocked to Amazonia, and armies, diplomats and surveyors began to clash.
Q: Why was the Amazon such a prize?
A: Rubber, along with coal and steel was key to the industrial revolution. It was a machine input, a transportation necessity, for communications, wiring and stimulated huge innovations in medical technologies. It was (and is) central to industrial processes and development. By the late 19th century, the best latex was coming out of Amazonia from the Hevea rubber tree, tapped periodically by men deep in the forest whose main tools were prehistoric: knives and fire. More than half the world's production came out of these far western Amazon forests, and was valued at billions in today's currency. And those forests had a monopoly over this hyper valuable global commodity, at least until Britain's Kew Gardens and Charles Wickham engineered the biopiracy that collapsed Amazonian hegemony, as Kew had done for quinine a few decades earlier. One could argue that this cure for malaria actually made tropical 19th century imperialism possible, in the same way that rubber made stimulated the industrial era. So the developed world owes quite a bit to Amazonia!
Q: Why was there such a battle?
A: While the book explores other scrambles, the one in Acre, where Euclides played such a role had the most at stake: both because of its size and because it was the final chit in Brazil's frontier consolidation.
In addition to Hevea gum, there was another important latex, one derived from Castilla tree (locally known as caucho) where latex was extracted by killing the tree. It was a significant part of the Upper Amazon rubber economy, but sources were being depleted as the trees were felled, driving Peruvian and Bolivian "caucheros" into the rubber tapping lands of Hevea. These two latex ecologies became stalking horses for bigger geopolitical concerns as rubber workers were used to "claim" lands for different nations and the region exploded in Guerrilla warfare. Whose territory was this land of the "black gold"? Although numerous native politics had claimed it, it was mostly terra nullius — no man's land — for the new Amazonian states. Indeed on most old maps the region was still "The Land of the Amazons" or "unexplored lands" occupied by "Chunchos": Giants and wild men. The old maps were suitably vague and often imaginary and a good cartographer could end up capturing tens of thousands of hectares by shifting a line here and there. The defunct treaties between dead empires provided plenty of grist for conflict, and often involved plenty of invention about places (and peoples) in the councils set up to adjudicate boundaries. And no one knew really where anything was. River boundaries were unreliable. Surveying was not so well developed, and the twisty Amazon tributaries made things especially tough. But the allure of those rich forests drew adventurers, explorers and labor from everywhere. The region was awash with boots (well, bare feet actually) on the ground as people from all over began to claim Amazon places. It was a lousy place to fight: swampy and thronged with "tame" and untamed wildings. The best strategy seemed to demilitarize the Upper Purus river, and set up adjudication through plenipotentate councils drawn from international rulers and advisors to decide the destiny of the forests.
The key idea for claiming places was settlement: the old diplomatic term from Roman law was uti possedetis: "he who has, keeps." So as foreign ministers tried to make sense of this explosive situation, a bi-national survey team was sent up to review what nationality of people were occupying what/where so it could be adjudicated. So warfare and lawfare were both crucial in these territorial contests. This is where da Cunha comes in.
Q: Who is Euclides da Cunha?
A: Euclides da Cunha is considered by many to be Brazil's greatest writer. He's known for his famous chronicle "Rebellion in the Backlands" of an uprising by a millenarian and renegade ex slave community that was brutally repressed by the young Brazilian republic. He was important in the military coterie that had midwived Brazil's first republic and was sent as an Aide to one of the generals, and as a kind of embedded reporter for the uprising. He begins in the world of clichés about civilization over barbary, but comes to write about nature and the backlanders in luminous prose, as the "bed rock of Brazil." He'd been a propagandist for the young republic, and had originally been a great imitator of European ideas and styles. His "Rebellion in the Backlands" changed him, his politics and his writing to a politically more radical, nativist stance. His distinction brought him to the attention of the foreign minister, the Baron of Rio Branco. And as a military man, he had survey skills. He knew a lot about the northeasterners who now inundated Amazonia, he knew about guerilla warfare, he was a dedicated scientific scholar, he understood tropical nature, and he was a fervent nationalist.
Da Cunha's Amazonian writings aren't well known, but his ambition was to to do what he had done for the arid outback of the Northeast: to give it a history and a meaning in the emergent Brazilian nation and he dreamed of Amazonia as a new kind of tropical civilization. As much as Amazonia was about resource scrambles, it was also about utopias, and what he imagined was community based in the social lives and Amazon practices of what he called the region's Bronzed titans. This would be a tropical, nationalist counterpoint to northern imperialism, one rooted in Brazilian people, cultural idioms and knowledge rather than transplanted European exercises.
Q: Why is da Cunha important?
A: He wrote about Amazonian environments and social history and in many ways he can be considered the first Amazonian scholar, pouring over Jesuit archives, old maps, explorations and diplomatic memos. Many of the foreign explorations of 19th century naturalists like Bates, Wallace, Agassiz among others, were "pre-boards" for new imperial ventures. Da Cunha uses his scholarship to frame a South American scientific tradition including the importance of the knowledge of its most humble actors as talented explorers of the Amazon. He situated Amazonia within national tropical experience rather than the exoticism that characterized the Amazon of outsiders. This was quite a radical position at the time, when knowledge systems were largely seen as European.
Da Cunha is important in other ways: He is a magisterial writer documenting a momentous time as one of its protagonists. Most colonial literature comes from outsider observers (think Joseph Conrad) who had no substantive political role in what they were writing about. Others, engaging in imperial ecotourism plus espionage regularly defamed local populations as indolent or just simply backward in the social Darwinist language of the day, even as their toil provided the industrial world with one of its most coveted products. Imagine if Gabriel Garcia Marquez had documented Colombia's Bolivarian revolutions! To have such a writer in place for such a transformative moment is really remarkable. And his environmental writing is the best there is. His sequel to "Rebellion in the Backlands" was supposed to be his "Lost Paradise" but he never completed it because he was later killed by his wife's much younger lover. I think da Cunha has yet to be recognized for his Amazon contributions, and my hope is that this book brings his life and times into sharper focus. His writing truly does elucidate the new world's Heart of Darkness, but also dreams of a New World in the Tropics.
Q: How did da Cunha help shape Brazil's claim to the Amazon?
A: Da Cunha was part of a "team" assembled by the Baron of Rio Branco to define the Western boundaries. The Baron had envoys in Lima, La Paz, and Washington as well as Buenos Aires where the adjudication would take place. Da Cunha's job was to head up a bi-national reconnaissance expedition on the Purus river — the great rubber river — with a Peruvian counterpart (whom he hated). They were to survey and map the river, indicate which nationality occupied where, and to document the cross watershed land routes. This was a guerilla war zone at the time. These kind of mapping exercises were key inputs into the adjudications. They were also to write reports. These reports and letters haven't been translated until now, and provide many insights into his more formal literary writings about the place and really give a flavor of the natures of the conflicts.
Q: Why no attention to the Scramble for the Amazon?
A: The simple answer is that Brazil and the other Amazon countries basically won the scramble for the Amazon, while European powers then tended to focus on their African and Asian properties. Also: the final moments of the scramble occurred a few years before World War I broke out, and Europe was overtaken in a "scramble" for itself. What's actually remarkable is how durable the Amazonian boundaries have been since that time in comparison with, say, Europe. And how comparatively non violent the Amazonian scramble was in light of the bloodsaturated European territorial wars.
Q: What is da Cunha's Amazonian Legacy?
A: I think it is of several kinds: First, and most profoundly, he writes a social history of Amazonia, and was sensitive to the human imprint on the place. Next, he had a great deal to say about international imperialism, and the political ecologies associated with Amazonian occupation at the time. He wrote amazingly about Amazonia, but without the hyperbole, and he thought the lexicon would be best able to communicate the complexity of what he called "the last unfinished page of Genesis." Translating these writings was very difficult, because his language is complex, but he gives the best sense of the region, especially compared to almost everybody else who was a) basically traveling on the main channel; b) interested in a kind of "Amazon Safari" story (alligators, Tapirs, piranhas, jaguars, capyvaras and a lot of blasting away at stuff; and c) collecting information for foreign governments. He understood Amazonia. He also, as I've mentioned deserves attention as a kind of "anticolonialist" Brazilian nationalist. He also helped make its map.
Q: Can you describe da Cunha's violent death and how it affected Amazonia?
A: While da Cunha was toiling off in Amazonia, his wife fell in love with a companion of their older son, Dilermando de Assis — a gorgeous 17-year old who would become Brazil's sharp-shooting champion, and later a General in the Brazilian army. Using court depositions, as well as self justifying books written by the principals I tried to clarify what happened in the various shootouts and what led to them. What is clear is that the da Cunha marriage was fraught even without the added complication of a lover. Da Cunha's wife continued her involvement with Dilermando (including having children by him) while she was married to da Cunha. This became unbearable, and da Cunha challenged Dilermando and was shot by him. This triangle was a bloody one that took other victims, including Euclides' son who also challenged Dilermando and was killed by him. There were some other collateral victims too. Read the book!
Q: What do you hope the book achieves?
A: I want people to understand that Amazonia isn't a wild place beyond "the Wall," with only a biotic history, but a place with a rich, dramatic and very interesting social history that was as much about utopian aspirations as resource scrambles, and this is still true today. I also love da Cunha so much and feel that once his Amazonian writings are better known they might well take pride of place — even though this masterwork was not completed — along with "Rebellion in the Backlands." Also, I want this book to give people a different sense of Amazonia, not a place at the "Margins of History" but as central in many earlier periods of globalization, and as the source of one of the defining substances of modern life — something so ubiquitous we don't notice it: rubber.
Finally, I'd like the book to give a sense of the regional history in the way that Euclides put it: "Such is the River, such is its history, always turbulent, always insurgent."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Metropolitan police say a man injured in a brawl at an Adams Morgan nightclub has died of his injuries.
Police say 45-year-old Rockwell John Flint died Friday at a hospital where he was taken after the Aug. 30 brawl. Authorities say the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled cause of death was multiple blunt impact injuries and the manner of death was homicide.
Police say the first broke out in the Rendezvous Lounge and Flint was one of two men who were injured when they tumbled down a staircase inside the bar. A man was charged with assault.
Police Chief Cathy Lanier ordered the bar closed for four days. The district's Alcoholic Beverage Control Board permitted it to reopen.

(Sports Network) - The Phoenix Suns will try to snap a six-game losing streak
on Wednesday night when they host the road-weary Philadelphia 76ers at US
Airways Center.
The Suns haven't tasted victory since a home win over the Charlotte Bobcats on
Dec. 19. Four of the six losses during this recent slide came on the road, but
they return home Wednesday night, where they play three in a row and have a
9-7 record.
The most recent setback came Monday night. It was not a happy New Year's Eve
for the Suns, who fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 114-96, in Oklahoma City.
Luis Scola led the way for Phoenix with 24 points and Marcin Gortat had a
double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Goran Dragic and Jermaine
O'Neal were the other Suns in double-digits.
This was a close game until late when the Thunder outscored the Suns, 30-18,
in the fourth quarter.
"I thought we played hard and competed like crazy out there," said Phoenix
head coach Alvin Gentry. "When we came out in the second half a little bit
flat, we still were able to get back into the game, but just didn't have
enough gas to finish it off."
What's left in the gas tank might be a concern for the Sixers. This is game
six of an eight-game road trip and Philadelphia is 2-3 so far on the western
The Sixers picked up their second win of the trip on Tuesday when they toppled
the Los Angeles Lakers, 103-99. The New Year's Day win marked the first time
the 76ers scored over 100 points since a Dec. 19 blowout loss to the Houston
Jrue Holiday led the Sixers in his homecoming in L.A. He scored 26 points and
handed out 10 assists. Evan Turner had a great overall game with 22 points, 13
rebounds and five assists.
The Sixers took an eight-point lead into the final quarter and nearly
squandered it. The Lakers made some mistakes late as well, but head coach Doug
Collins will certainly take the victory.
"We dodged it at the end," acknowledged Collins. "We missed four free throws
and took a quick 3 when we should have used the clock. It's a learning
experience, to say the least, but it's a great win for our team to start the
New Year."
Spencer Hawes and Dorell Wright both scored double-digits off the Sixers
The Sixers beat the Suns, 104-101, on Nov. 25. Philadelphia has won the last
four in this matchup, including two victories in Phoenix.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Members and supporters of the Congressional Black Caucus packed into the Washington Convention Center on Saturday night for their annual gala culminating a weeks long conference.
Fresh on the minds of many were recent comments made by some religious leaders within black communities across the country who have urged their congregations to stay home and not vote this election. That suggestion comes as a form of opposition to president Barack Obama' support for gay marriage. The ministers continue to disagree with the president's view, and hope to discourage black voters from supporting Obama.
It's a move that the who's who in attendance at the CBC gala vehemently oppose.
Rev. Al Sharpton said, "anyone that would encourage people not to vote given what we had to go through to get the right to vote is someone who is operating at the height of amnesia."
Others who opposed the suggestion not to vote included CBC president and CEO, Dr. Elsie Scott.
Scott said, "We need every vote. Every vote counts. My father almost lost his life. He got shot trying to get the right to vote in Louisiana. So every time I cast my ballot I cast in memory of my father."
The reaction comes after the keynote speaker at the event, First Lady Michelle Obama rallied support saying voting is everyone's "birth right."

DAYTONA BEACH — Purple flags are flying along Volusia County beaches after reports of jellyfish off the coastline.
Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue Capt. Tammy Marris says lifeguards treated 155 stings on Friday and Saturday. The numbers were not available for Sunday.
Marris told the Daytona Beach News-Journal there were several types of jellyfish, but the moon jellyfish were the most frequently spotted.
She says lifeguards were treating the stings with vinegar.
Marris says there was a moderate risk of rip current along the beaches, but no rescues were made on Sunday.

Mid-Michigan protestors joining in on antiwar demonstrations over the weekend in Lansing and Washington D.C. wonder if anyone is listening.
They want to know if it is too late to stop the attack on Iraq.
Nearly 1,000 people participated in antiwar demonstrations in Lansing, by some estimates there were hundreds of thousands of people at a rally in Washington.
Some of the protestors fear their objections are falling on deaf ears and wonder if it's too late to influence President Bush's decision to make war on Iraq.
Protestors say they are planning a week of resistance in February.

Diesel prices are up for third straight week, says Energy Information Administration
July 26, 2011
Diesel prices increased for the third consecutive week and the fourth time in the last 12 weeks,according to data from the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA).
The average price per gallon for diesel increased 2.6 cents to $3.949 per gallon, following 2.4 and 4.9 cents, respectively, over the last three weeks for a cumulative 9.9 cent increase. The 4.9 cent gain from earlier this month marked the single largest weekly gain since the week of April 4, when prices went up 4.4 cents to $3.976 per gallon.
Prior to these recent increases diesel prices had fallen a cumulative 27.4 cents since hitting a 2011 high of $4.124 per gallon the week of May 2. And this week's price per gallon is cumulatively 17.5 cents less since the week of May 2.
Compared to a year ago, diesel prices are up $1.03.
Oil prices are currently trading at $99.91 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. A Reuters report stated that prices will remain or exceed the $100 a barrel mark, "on the dollar's weakness as political wrangling over the U.S. debt ceiling and budget continues."
Given the fluctuation—and still high prices—of diesel, shippers and carriers remain concerned about the price of diesel and oil. While many have indicated that prices at current levels are still digestible, they cautioned that could quickly change depending on how quickly prices rise with summer driving season officially here.
And even with declines in prices in recent weeks, the focus from a supply chain perspective for managing fuel price ebbs and flows—for shippers—is more on utilization and efficiency by doing things like driving empty miles out of transportation networks.
In terms of how these prices can impact supply chain and logistics operations at a time when freight volumes are showing slow but consistent growth, many shippers have expressed concern about the pace of these diesel increases, explaining that if prices continue to rise at their current pace, it has the potential to hinder growth and increase operating costs, which will, in turn, force them to raise rates and offset the increased prices to consumers.
This was made clear by Tommy Hodges, chairman/owner of Goggin Warehousing LLC, and chairman of the American Trucking Associations, at an industry conference earlier this year.
"Fuel is a scarce commodity; we all have to get our arms around that fundamental premise if we are going to move forward in making a difference," he said. "It is not a throwaway issue where we think there is a never-ending flow, and it is always going to be cheap. Those days are long gone and this brings a whole new threshold of thought of what we do everyday and how we relate to increasing prices and escalating fuel costs."
Hodges stressed that when it comes to the best way of dealing with increasing fuel costs, it is something that needs full collaboration among shippers, carriers, and other logistics and transportation and logistics service providers to lower their carbon footprints.

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Coco Crisp clubbed a go-ahead two-run homer in
the bottom of the eighth inning to lift the Oakland Athletics to an 8-6
victory over the Minnesota Twins in the opener of a four-game set at O.co
Jed Lowrie laced a tiebreaking three-run homer to cap Oakland's four-run sixth
and give the A's a 6-3 cushion, but the Twins tagged Oakland's bullpen for
three runs over the next two frames to even the score.
Shairon Martis (0-1) issued a leadoff walk to Daric Barton to start the home
half of the eighth and after Alberto Callaspo fanned, Crisp stroked a 2-1
fastball into the seats in right-center field to put the A's in front.
Sean Doolittle (5-5) recorded the final out of the eighth before retiring the
Twins in order in the ninth to pick up the win.
Callaspo added a solo shot in the sixth, while Josh Reddick registered an RBI
and a run scored for the A's, who won for the seventh time in their last nine
games to trim their magic number to four games to clinch their second straight
AL West crown.
Oswaldo Arcia smacked a solo homer and scored twice for the Twins, who have
dropped seven of their last nine games.

Object Model Violation: Just One of equals() and hashCode() Defined
This is a Vulnerability. To view all vulnerabilities, please see the Vulnerability Category page.
Last revision (mm/dd/yy): 12/1/2015
Vulnerabilities Table of Contents
This class overrides only one of equals() and hashCode().
Java objects are expected to obey a number of invariants related to equality. One of these invariants is that equal objects must have equal hashcodes. In other words, if a.equals(b) == true then a.hashCode() == b.hashCode().
Failure to uphold this invariant is likely to cause trouble if objects of this class are stored in a collection. If the objects of the class in question are used as a key in a Hashtable or if they are inserted into a Map or Set, it is critical that equal objects have equal hashcodes.
Risk Factors
- Talk about the factors that make this vulnerability likely or unlikely to actually happen
- Discuss the technical impact of a successful exploit of this vulnerability
- Consider the likely [business impacts] of a successful attack
The following class overrides equals() but not hashCode().
public class halfway() { public boolean equals(Object obj) { ... } }

In nature, a variety of processes work to balance the environment and provide sustenance for all living things. For our skin, things are never quite as simple. Exposure to air pollutants, stress and aging can disrupt the balance of your complexion, leading to patches of dryness, oiliness and irritation that are commonly referred to as combination skin. If you suffer from combination skin, finding products to battle oil, shine and blemishes without causing flaking in the other zones of your face can be a struggle. Fortunately, you can emulate the perfect balance of nature and reduce the troubles of combination skin with the Juice Beauty Toners and Clarifiers collection.

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Ted Ginn Jr. ran back a punt 74 yards for a
score and the Carolina Panthers added three defensive touchdowns in a 34-27
preseason win over the Baltimore Ravens.
Drayton Florence and D.J. Moore each ran back interceptions for scores, while
Thomas Davis pounced on a fumble for a touchdown.
Two of the defensive TDs came when Joe Flacco was running Baltimore's offense.
Flacco completed 18-of-24 passes for 169 yards with a TD and two picks and
played into the third quarter. Ray Rice rushed for 62 yards and a score for
the defending Super Bowl champions.
Cam Newton finished 10-of-19 for 99 yards through the air for the Panthers.
Rice scored off left guard from a yard out to complete a 69-yard drive that
took nine plays to cap Baltimore's opening possession.
Ginn, who owns six return touchdowns (3 kickoffs, 3 punts) over six NFL
seasons and finished third in the NFC with a 10.3 average taking back punts
while with San Francisco last year, showed off his speed on his punt return
for a TD with 5:12 left in the opening quarter. He evaded an early tackle and
cut back to the middle before moving to the right sideline on the race to the
end zone.
Flacco's pass attempt to Tandon Doss over the middle early in the second
quarter was picked off by Florence, who darted 71 yards to put the Panthers
up, 14-7.
The Ravens then fumbled the ball away two plays into their next drive.
Linebacker Luke Kuechly stripped Bernard Pierce in the backfield and Davis
made a sliding recovery while barely breaking the plane of the goal line.
Another drive by Flacco ended in a turnover before the halftime. On 2nd-and-6
from the Carolina 10, Flacco's pass over the middle was picked off by Kuechly.
Graham Gano booted a 54-yard field goal with 37 seconds left for a 24-7
Carolina lead.
Justin Tucker split the uprights from 32 yards out early the third, and
Flacco threw his only TD pass of the night to undrafted rookie Marlon Brown,
a 24-yard strike over the middle with 7:39 left in the quarter.
Gano booted a 42-yard field goal and Moore stepped in front of rookie tight
end Matt Furstenburg to pick off Tyrod Taylor and rumbled 33 yards to the end
zone for a 34-17 cushion with 43 seconds to go in the third.
Damien Berry scored on a 10-yard run in the fourth and Tucker nailed a 36-yad
kick with 7:10 left, but Carolina ran out most of the remaining time.
A prayer pass from Caleb Hanie near midfield was knocked away close to the end
zone on the final play.

About the American League Division Series
Dating back to 1995, the American League Division Series is the first round of the MLB Playoffs, and ever since its inception ALDS tickets have always been very hot. The series and determines the two teams that will face each other in the American League Championship Series. Four teams play in the ALDS, the winners of the three divisions, East Central and West, and the Wild Card winner, or the team with the best record that does not win the division. With the four best teams in the American League facing off for a chance to get to the World Series, ALDS tickets are always a hot item. Usually the team with the best record plays the team with the worst, unless that team is in the same division. In that case the Wild Card plays the team with the second-best record. And the other two teams play. The ALDS is a five-game series, with the first team to three wins moving on. The team with the better record gets home-field advantage, meaning the first two games are played at home, then the teams travel for two games, and if gave five in necessary that game is played at the filed of the team with home field advantage.

Bob Baker Runs
Posted Sep 28, 2012
One would think that being the President and Chief Financial Officer of Cafe Rio, would be enough running around like a chicken with your head cut off for Bob Baker, but you'd be wrong. That doesn't even scratch the surface of this man's obsession with running. He runs everywhere. He's Forest Gump without the box of chocolates. 50 marathons in 50 states, that's his goal. Why? No idea, he might be a bit mental, but we let that slide because he's a cool guy. Marathons, half marathons, Ragnar, the guy is a machine.

Navajo Indian Jewelry8211; Durango Silver Company have been Traders to the Navajo for nearly forty years and we have dealt in Navajo Indian Jewelry for that long as well. We have been very involved with the Navajo American Indians, Navajo Arts as well as the Navajo artists themselves.
We have worked with the Navajo Artists to produce Navajo Belt Buckles, Navajo Bolo Ties, Navajo Concho Belts, Navajo Bracelets, Navajo Earrings and many other Navajo Crafts. We have produced Navajo Indian Jewellery in-house with Navajo Silversmiths employed by us such as Navajo Cuff Bracelets, Navajo Dream Catchers, Navajo Turquoise Mens Rings and more. We have worked on Navajo Designs with the artists and have been heavily involved with the Navajo Artisans.
Durango Silver Company is still active with the Navajo Indiansand their Silver Jewelry as well as their Turquoise Jewelry. We have recently been cutting Bisbee Turquoise for a group of Navajo Artisans to help them sell more Jewelry at the upcoming Heard Museum Indian Arts Show in March. The Navajo Jewelry Artists have been having a hard time as Silver has gone up dramatically and the Indian Traders have not been paying them well for their Jewelry.

Licensed dentists in Illinois may write prescriptions only in connection with dental-related ailments or conditions. To write a prescription for any other non-dental condition is a violation of the Illinois Dental Practice Act and may make the dentist liable for license sanction.
By virtue of receiving the general dental license, a dentist may write prescriptions for non-controlled substances. However, if a dentist wishes to have the authority to prescribe for controlled substances as defined by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), then he/she must obtain two licenses from both the State of Illinois and the DEA.
Controlled drugs are listed by schedule, and any dentist who chooses to prescribe or dispense Schedule II through V drugs is subject to the provisions of the Illinois Controlled Substance Act as well as federal regulations. Illinois law requires that a dentist possess an Illinois controlled substance license for each place of business. Federal DEA registrations (DEA Number) are issued only to persons who hold an Illinois controlled substance license. Unless the doctor is dispensing or administering controlled drugs, then only one DEA number is needed to prescribe.
If a dentist intends to dispense or administer controlled substances directly to patients, there are a number of further state and federal regulations that are brought into play including proper record keeping of drug purchases, storing on site, dispensing logs, and reports. Be sure to contact the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation prior to dispensing or administering controlled drugs to patients.
