Put Pushers Away For Longer Terms
April 25, 2013
For about a year and a half, Dr. Fernando Gonzales-Ramos made quarterly trips from his home in El Paso, Texas, to a rundown building in Logan, W.Va....
Yeah well this is not the guys first time around this block I would bet. He is a leader in a pill mill and gets 7 yrs, 525 lbs of blow gets 7 yrs and is off again, and what is that Mull chick about to get? Was it 40 years max. There is much too much latitude in the law.
Sounds to me like those who need mental help the most spend the most time in jail. Those who make the most money get the least. Sounds like the lesson is to make a living off of selling drugs but dont be an addict, and you will be treated with more respect as well as doing less time. No sense to me....but then again, I dont claim to understand law, particularly WV law.

This guy gets 6 years for writing a prescription (why don't they put ALL doctors in jail and watch West Virginia fall apart without its' pills and physical therapy)?!
The guy who crashed a plane with 525 lbs. of pure blow, evaded federal marshals for 4 years and got himself extradited back to the US only got 7 years on a minimum security farm!?
Apparently, Senor Gonzales-Ramos didn't have that guy's lawyer. He must have hired a good ole boy West Virginia hick lawyer, instead.

PADEN CITY - At Clay-Battelle, when you're hot you're Haught.
As in Tristan Haught.
The Cee-Bees senior quarterback threw five touchdown passes to four different receivers, including three straight to open the game, in Clay-Battelle's 41-6 victory against Paden City on Friday night. All of his touchdown passes came in the first half as the Cee-Bees took a 35-0 lead.
Article Photos
Paden City's Zach Heasley is brought down by a Clay-Battelle defender during action of their game Friday.
Haught was hot, but he was also the benefactor of three Wildcats miscues to start the game.
Credit due, he capitalized on all three.
Two Paden City fumbles and a muffed snap on a punt attempt allowed Clay-Battelle to start in Wildcats' territory on its first three series.
With precision, Haught went to work.
First a 10-yard strike to Morgantown transfer Jarret Hockenberry, who is originally from Clay-Battelle. Next, a 28-yard touchdown pass to Kurt Latochia on fourth-and-goal. Finally, after the bad snap on the Wildcats' punt attempt, he completed a short pass to running back Trenton Dille, who did the rest with a nice 49-yard run.
Three mistakes quickly became a 21-0 lead.
"I felt awesome all day," Haught said. "This morning, I felt like I was focused and ready to go. We wanted to start fast and we did. The line blocked great and the receivers got open. All I did was get them the ball. I've had some good games and I've had some bad games. This was a good one."
He was hardly done.
He ended the half with a second touchdown pass to Hockenberry, a sophomore and the heir apparent at QB, this one from 16 yards out and finally a 19-yarder to Jacoby Steele.
"Tristan is a three-year starter and he knows what we're doing in the offense," Cee-Bees' coach Ryan Wilson said. "We did some good things on offense but we still have a lot to work on. We took what we did in the (two) scrimmages and as a staff we don't think we played as well as we did in those games."
The source of Wilson's consternation was a whopping 19 penalties for 147 yards.
"You can understand some of those being the first game, and some of them were just kids being aggressive, and you can't fault them for that," Wilson said. "But we had a lot of those (six) for lining up offsides and that is inexcusable."
Paden City coach Brent Croasmun credited Haught, who finished the game 12 of 16 for 237 yards, including a stretch where he completed eight straight passes, four for touchdowns.
"We couldn't get any pressure on him, and we gave him a lot of time back there," Croasmun said. "He's a good one. You give him that much time, with the athletes they have, you going to get in trouble. Give them credit for taking advantage."
The miscues, however, were big.
"Every time we made a mistake they capitalized on it," Croasmun said. "Two fumbles and a bad snap on a punt attempt and they get touchdowns off those."
Down 35-0, Paden City didn't fold the tent.
The Wildcats came out swinging, causing a pair of turnovers - an interception by Brandon Cross (freshman Hayden Hizer also had one) and a fumble recovery by Luke Cooper.
Paden City eventually put together a third-quarter scoring drive, capped by a 1-yard run by Cross.
The gap was too wide to cut into, though, but Croasmun saw several positives.
"I'm proud of these kids," he said. "It won't show show on the scoreboard, but they played hard and they never quit. We were outmanned, it was hot, but they hung in there against a really good team. It was 6-6 in the second half, so that is something we can build on. We have some games coming up where I think we'll be competitive. There were positives."
Clay Battelle's defense gave up 110 yards, 60 on the ground and 50 passing.
Ken Pyle led the Paden City ground attack with 30 yards and Cross had 26. Quarterback Zach Heasley was 6 of 9 for 50 yards, 36 to Cross on four catches.

ROCKVILLE, Md.(WUSA) - Ten years ago, for a three week span in October, staying safe in our area took on a whole new meaning as John Allen Muhammad and Lee Malvo went on their sniper killing spree.
Cars were searched, people didn't stand still in the same place for too long, and schools kept kids inside -- all as a precaution.
9News' Scott Broom spent the day speaking with local law enforcement -- about the technological advances that would hopefully make things different today.
He reports that police said Muhammad and Malvo had been stopped by police at least three times during the sniper shootings --- but it was all on paper -- and making a match might have taken months. The new license plate readers would have have done it instantly.
See the above video for his detailed report.

Workshop on December 12-13, 2008, Whistler, BC, Canada
Post-Workshop Information
- Slides and recordings of the workshop talks are now available from videolectures.net
Kevin Kelly, former editor of Wired magazine, stated in an inspiring blog article that the internet has reached the stage where it can be looked upon as a gigantic information copying and distribution mechanism. But when the problem of distributing and copying information is essentially solved, where do we go next?
It is in particular the networked structure of devices and systems that generates a host of interesting problems and opportunities. So what are the values that can be derived from this mesh, values that go beyond the fact of copying and distributing information? In his article, Kelly identified a number of such values, a few of which have immediate relevancy for the ML community.
- Interpretation: Copying information can be achieved at a cost of zero, but how do we make sense of it?
- Immediacy: How can, for example, a piece of news be delivered immediately (at the moment it is produced) to an interested reader?
- Findability: Or: An unfound masterpiece is worthless.
- Personalization: Via an ongoing conversation between producer and user, tailored versions of an otherwise generic piece of work can be generated.
- Privacy: Access to data needs to be restricted to a necessary minimum, to protect identities
Workshop Goals
In order to implement these values for the human that is linked into the mesh of information and devices, research in a number of directions needs to be carried out:
- Machine learning and probabilistic modeling: Recommendation systems and knowledge extraction are two immediate applications. Current work needs to be improved in a number of aspects, including large scale inference, modeling languages, and efficient decision making.
- Game theory and mechanism design: When a large number of contributors are involved in solving a particular task, how can we set up the tasks and the incentive structure such that "the crowd" does indeed achieve the desired goal? Game theory can provide answers to how the interaction of large groups of people can be modeled, whereas mechanism design is concerned with the design of rules that lead to desired behavior. Research is required in particular for solving very large games, and for mechanism design under uncertainty.
- Knowledge representation and reasoning: Large parts of the current internet data are stored in an unstructured way, making linking and evaluating knowledge a complex problem. Semantic web solves parts of the representation problem, but the question of reasoning is still largely unsolved. Also, there is a tradeoff to be made between efficiency of reasoning and power of the representation. Reasoning under uncertainty is a further challenge here.
- Social networks and collective intelligence: The web in its current form can also be viewed in terms of its interaction graph. Who is sending an email to whom? Who is reading whose blog entries? How does information flow in these networks? To answer these questions, the networks need to be analyzed, modeled, and made amenable to reasoning.
- Privacy preserving learning: For the above questions to be solved, it is often necessary to share personal information of users - which, on the other hand, user may not want due to the loss of their privacy. What can be learned, and how can be learned, whilest only revealing a minimal set of information, or information that does not make users individually identifiable?
Making progress in these areas will require a large deal of research carried out across the typical boundaries. We wish to make this workshop as much interdisciplinary as possible, in that it addresses all of the above topics, and highlights the connections. We tried to choose speakers (and will select contributions to the workshop) that work on the connections between two or even more of these topics. We aim at addressing topics both from an academic and from an application point of view.
Ideally, the outcome of the workshop would be to
- Provide a new research agenda that links the above topics
- Identify a set of reachable next steps
- Provide the research communities with a realistic working environment, that is, datasets.
Target Audience
A number of researchers in different research communities are working on problems like machine learning for web search, on recommender systems, on game theory, or on generic methods for reasoning. We believe that there is significant value in providing a forum for discussions amongst these researcher, to identify chances for collaborations and exchanging ideas that will help make the developed methods applicable on web scale.

Well this not nice.
Since you have a 24, you can run some tests of the DECA networking.
On the front panel of the 24, press the guide button and the right arrow [both] and when you get it working [may take a few tries] you'll see a menu with "coax" on the left. Select it and the first test will show the loss to each other DECA [node].
Then there is a Phy Mesh test that shows the mesh rates between all nodes.
It would help to post pictures of these results.
Should look like:
Here is what I got

Andy Murray can't stop Super Mario, or himself.
The Brit baller has now lost to Mario Ancic for the third time in four meetings this year. His latest disappointment? A second round 6-4, 6-4 dismissal from Barcelona by the Croat today.
Here's what Andy has to say about the loss via his website:
I didn't get that fired up for the match. I was flat. I was going to be here practising anyway, so I had hoped to get a few matches. But my priority is to train for Rome and Hamburg. I wanted to continue from last week, but (playing here) is not the be-all and end-all.I find it interesting how Andy dismisses this loss by saying "I was going to be practising here anyway" and "[Rome] and Hamburg are the most important [tournaments] going into the French Open" as if this loss shouldn't really count. Plus, what does he mean the major ballers weren't in Monte Carlo last week? They were all surely there and it only took one to embarrass him 6-0, 6-4: Nole.
I've now got four or five days to get ready for Rome. It and Hamburg are the most important ones going into the French Open. All of the major players should be there, which was not the case last week.
I'd love to give Andy a KISS - "keep it simple stupid" as they say. But don't get your giblets in an uproar - I'm not saying he's stupid. However, his 5o-person entourage, including newest member Alex Corretja, has yet to bring in any interesting results.
Less is more Andy - you may have too many cooks in your kitchen!

Dwight & Alice Hunters 65 Sport FuryWritten by on February 1, 1999 Contributors: Chuck James It Went Through The Family Before Coming Back With A Gold
Never before have we understood so fully the phrase The whole is more than just the sum of its parts. The sum of the parts pictured on these pages is a really nice 65 Sport Fury convertible. In fact, its probably one of the nicest Mopars youll ever see, taking both a Gold Certificate in the OE-certified judging at the 98 Mopar Nationals, and the requisite Mopar Musclesponsored Best of Show honors. But this car is so much more than hundreds of perfectly restored parts reassembled with precision and care.
Back in November 1964, Dwight Hunter decided it was time to buy his girls a convertible. Sis was in her senior year in high school, and Mom really favored the looks and style of a drop-top. Dwight strolled down to Edwards Chrysler Plymouth in Knoxville, Iowa, and spoke with his brother-in-law, Bill Gonder, who was a salesman at the dealership. On November 26, 1964, Dwight wrote a check for $3,257.75, and Bill handed Alice Hunter (Dwights wife) the keys to a Copper convertible. Mrs. Hunter drove the car for a couple of years before passing the keys down to her daughter, Dwyta, who drove the car through her college years. After she completed her education, she returned the keys to her father.
Dwight drove the car for a few years until it was son Randys turn to earn his tassels, and the faithful Fury was given to him as college transportation in Michigan. After Randy graduated in 1980, he returned the keys to Dwight, who drove the car regularly until March 1997, when the convertibles odometer had registered 172,000 miles, and Randyonce againwas given the keys.
Dwight has always been fond of his carsthis ragtop Mopar in particular. Dwights fondness wasnt lost on Randy, who not only still owns his first car (a 71 Challenger R/T), but also owns Pioneer Auto Restoration in Wauchula, Florida, where he helps other car owners preserve their vintage iron, as well as his own. Randy thought it would be nice to restore the convertible to showroom condition for his dad, so he had the shop guys start work on it.
But this is more than a restore the car for dear ol Dad story. Randy loves Mopars, and if the car was going to be restored, it would be restored the correct wayall the way. That meant nothing short of winning a Gold Certificate in the OE-certified class at the 98 Mopar Nationals. This is the best of the best, where entrants undergo a stringent judging process before they are even allowed in the OE tent. Most people are glad to make that first cut, and many use the first year as a pre-judging test, to see what needs to be fixed, so they can be real contenders in the following year. But Randy wanted it all, and he wanted it the first time out.
Pioneer has restored many vehicles for concours showing, so the crew was fairly confident of its abilities. They grabbed video and point-and-shoot cameras, and spent the first few days photographing every detail on the carpaint runs, inspection marks, metal finishes, the splatter paint in the trunk (which everyone said wasnt supposed to be there), and any other detail you can imagine. Then, a textbook disassembly began, and every part was removed, inspected, evaluated for restoration or replacement, tagged, bagged, and shelved. Once the vehicle was stripped down to nothing but a shell, everything was dropped into the chemical-stripping tanks at Revivation, Pioneers sister company (Strip Search, Feb. 98).
Once the car came out of the tank, the process of reskinning the rear began, as the quarters had more than just a little plastic filler in them, and there were some small rust holes at the outer edges of the trunk floor. Rather than repair the rear, Randy decided to replace it, and a donor was found in Arizona. Dale Loder made the two cars become one, and Jeff Thompson finished everything until the whole car was glass-smooth. Finally, the Copper Metallic paint was applied, and the reassembly process began.
Good restoration is about more than knowing what you are and are not capable of. The key is knowing who can do what you cannotperfectly. Pioneer isnt a machine shop, so the 383 block was sent out and rebuilt to factory specs, as was the 727 trans. The two-barrel went to Daytona Carbs, and the wiper motor assembly, starter, and fasteners went to Concours Creations in Orange City, Florida, for proper finishing and replating. Rich Berlisk and John Grinwald offered invaluable tech advice and a steady stream of calls went to Roger Gibson Restoration.
Then of course, there was the nationwide scrounging for parts. The engine-turned, Sport Fury-only decklid trim was found at Carlisle. An N.O.S. ribbed muffler was shipped from Brads N.O.S. in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The hood emblem came from Southern Michigan, at Great Lakes Mopar, and the 383 insert was from Mitchell Motors. Other pieces, too numerous to list, were found from coast to coast.
Companies such as Year One, The Paddock, and Legendary Auto Interiors proved to be invaluable, and they were called frequently. Randy thanks Legendary, in particular, for its help in painstakingly reproducing the Furys unique Copper and Black seat covers and door panels.
With July nearing, Chryslers at Carlisle was just a few weeks away. Randy wanted to take the car out for its maiden voyage, and a judged scrutiny to see what needed to be redone for the Nationals in August. By the end of the weekend, everybody was talking about that real pretty convertible Fury, and Randy returned to Wauchula with the Best of Show trophy and a small list of things that needed to be fixed. Another mad thrash was started which included replacing the alternator, radiator hoses, and even repainting a quarter-panel! When August rolled around, the car finally was ready for the long trip north.
Of course nothing ever goes perfectly smooththe day before they would leave for Columbus, the brakes werent working. The master cylinder was rebuilt that night, the car was loaded into the trailer, and they left for Ohio early in the morning. Randy flew his dad to Columbus and showed him the car. That was the first time Dwight had seen it in one piece since the restoration began 16 months earlier. By the end of the weekend, the Fury was the buzz of the judged show area, and Dwight was a bit overwhelmed. On Sunday, everyone knew the Fury was the nicest car in the OE tent. The awards presentation confirmed that factthe car took a Gold Certificate and Best of Show. Randy met his goal, and then some, in restoring the car for his dad.

Dwight Hunter is a bit of a pack rat, and to say the car is completely documented is an understatement. This is the original canceled check Dwight wrote to Edwards Chrysler Plymouth in Knoxville, Iowa. The price of the car was $3,257.75. Read the written amount, then compare it to the numerical amount in the box. A little nervous, Dwight?
Careful documentation of your starting points, and flawless duplication, are what separates the OE class from the rest of the hobby. The paint runs on the radiator surround look like the factory put them there originally.The trunk caused a bit of controversy before it even hit Columbus. It's commonly accepted that Chrysler didn't splatter-paint the trunk compartment, but instead, painted all trunk interiors the body color. But the splatter paint was there—Dwight never added it in the 30-plus years he's owned the car, and the paint appeared to have been applied by the factory. So, Pioneer matched the splatter pattern and reapplied it, even though most people said, "It shouldn't be there, so don't put it back." Did they make the right decision? Well, the donor car that supplied the new trunk floor and quarters had splatter paint, and we've since spotted two C-Bodies (one in Columbus, the other at Chryslers at Carlisle), that had splatter-painted trunks. That doesn't mean every C-Body had a splatter-painted trunk, but at least four did. The lessons here are to never say never, and if you can document it—even if it goes against what everybody says is correct—put the car back together in the way you found it.A lot of components rolled off the assembly line with bare finishes. To reproduce this, several companies have developed "cast-finish" or bare-finish paints that reproduce the look of bare metal. But it's still paint, and the parts didn't come painted. Pioneer left all the original bare pieces au naturale. This posed a bit of a problem for the photo shoot, though. By the time we finally set up the shoot, the Florida humidity had caused bare parts such as the leaf springs and driveshaft to flash rust, and the trans case to oxidize. It was cleaned up for our photography, and will need to be every time it's shown from here on out. Welcome to the wonderful world of concours maintenance, Randy! You can also see the natural exhaust system, and the ribbed muffler Randy scoured the country for.Remember what we said about Dwight being somewhat of a pack rat? If this doesn't prove it, nothing will. In our September '97 issue ("Concours Undercarriage Detailing!"), we showed how Rich Berlisk and John Grinwald had documented and reproduced the break-off Zerk fittings for greased suspension joints. Randy sent the article to his dad, and Dwight sent him the original broken Zerks! He had kept the parts in a medicine bottle in his basement for more than 30 years! Here, you can also see accurately reproduced paint drips on the torsion bar.Concours restoration is also archeology. While disassembling the car, Randy noticed what was coated with undercoating, and what wasn't. The gas tank and fuel lines, installed up to the front subframe, had undercoating overspray on them. They were installed early in the car's production, before the undercoating was applied. The brake lines didn't have the overspray on them, nor did the leaf-spring hangers. So, the process originally went something like this: The gas tank and fuel lines were installed first, then everything was undercoated. The rear was left out of the car at this point, probably to ensure that the undercoating is applied completely and evenly. With the rear end out of the car, the ends of the brake lines would be open, possibly plugging them. They also would be hanging loose, allowing them to get bent or kinked. Everything was restored in the aforementioned order. Incidentally, the body plugs in the floorpans also were not painted or undercoated, indicating they may have been installed at the same time as the interior.

Well, well.
Patty Schnyder caused a huge upset today knocking out Serena Williams from Rome's second round (her opening rounder) 6-2, 2-6, 6-1 in a match that ended a little after 1AM. The World No.2 has now entered a 3-match losing streak dating back to her final loss in Miami to Victoria Azarenka, followed by an opening round loss in Marbella and now this loss to the Swiss.
So the good news? At least it's not Roland Garros - phew. The bad news? Well, it's a third consecutive loss going into a major on her least favorite surface with no clay wins to speak of at the moment. Plus, ReRe's smacking comments about being the "real" top lady baller couldn't have come at a more perfect time. Good work.
I'm thinking she may want to cancel any more scheduled appearances pimping out her Signature Statement on the Home Shopping Network.
Oh, and about that Nike outfit: It's cursed. Drop it.

It's seems like to me that serena is startng to go back to her old ways. Too many outside interests are taking up preparation time. She wasn't prepared at ALL!! Sure she has proven that without having much practice in, she can work her way through a tournament, but not on clay!!!!! She better get her acessoried ass back in gear before the french. Now i have to rely on Venus........... ..Let's go Venus!!!!!ReplyDelete
It's cursed and damn ugly to boot! Come on, Venus! You've always been my girl! Please don't pull a double-header dive. Can a 'vamos' Venus? I don't care -- I'm 'vamos'-ing Venus. Venus, vamos!!!ReplyDelete
Serena is very very arrogant, quite frankly I love the irony of the turn of events here!ReplyDelete
And this all reminds me of one my favorite sayings of the 90's: Don't write checks your ass can't cash.ReplyDelete
You think Serena would know better by now.

CULPEPER, Va. (AP) - Culpeper County Commonwealth's Attorney Megan Frederick says she won't apologize for calling some county supervisors corrupt.
The Board of Supervisors filed a complaint last week with the Virginia State Bar demanding that Frederick retract her statement.
Frederick tells the Culpeper Star-Exponent that there will be no apology. She says she's not ashamed of what she said.
Frederick says she doesn't want to provide details about her statement until the complaint is resolved.
She made the statement in a Sept. 12 email to about a dozen people. In the email, she praised two supervisors for opposing funding for a new Sheriff's Office building. She wrote that those two lost the battle "due to incompetent and corrupt members of the board."

Fox Racing Main Goggles $0.00
At the limit, details are everything. And, if your optics are of poor quality, distortion of the trail is going to cause sloppy lines -- or worse, a snagged pedal. Fox Racing has been developing both motorsports and cycling goggles long enough that the Main Goggles offers excellent visibility, protection, and comfort at an incredible value.
Peripheral vision is something that has suffered due to full-face helmets, and goggles as well. The Main Goggles' polyurethane frame is designed to allow as much side view as possible, and this holds true to the vertical ends of the vision spectrum as well. In between the frame and your skin is a soft and wicking triple-layer foam to maximize comfort and sweat control.
Most important though, is the 100 percent optically pure Lexan lens complete with an anti-fog treatment and 100% UV protection. This ensures you see the forest for the trees from the top to the bottom of your run, while your eyes are well protected. Fox Racing has ten lenses available for the Main Goggles so you can upgrade as conditions and lighting requirements differ.
Keeping the Main Goggle in place is a wide woven strap with an inner silicon lining to eliminate slippage on helmet. The Fox Racing Main Goggles comes in one size and a variety of colors to match your kit.

RAGBRAI in Sioux Center Saturday!
(Orange City) -- After RAGBRAI leaves Sioux Center early Sunday the first two
stops of the morning are laying out the proverbial red carpet. Orange City and
Alton, which are usually pretty quite on a Sunday morning, will be bustling as
soon as 6am.
As bikers come down Central Avenue in Orange City, Dale Heimstra, co-chair of
the RAGBRAI committee, says that residents will be decked in Dutch costumes,
Dutch treats will be available (including deep fried almond patties dipped in
chocolate!) and Dutch "hot tubs" will also line the streets.
Listen here
Music will also resonate from the band shell at Windmill Park in Orange City
Sunday morning.
Alton is having a formal breakfast for the riders and anybody who wishes to come
to the park adjacent to St. Mary's Church to mingle. Todd Vande Griend of Alton
tells us what's on the menu.
Listen here
Proceeds from the event will be going toward new tanks for Alton's Fire
Department and for playground equipment near the pool in town.
No matter what town RAGBRAI passes through, they all have one goal in mind:
making sure the riders walk away with a good impression. Dale Heimstra of
Orange City recognizes that it could even have long term effects.
Listen here
Listen here
That's Jason Moeller, member of the executive committee for RAGBRAI planning in
Sioux Center where the RAGBRAI party kicks off this Saturday.
Moeller tells us what's happening in and around the All Seasons Center, on 7th
Street NE.
Listen here
The opening band is Highway 124, they kickoff the live music at 6pm. The Dirty
Word out of Minneapolis take the stage at 9pm. Moeller says that the lead singer
of that band has a great set of pipes.
Listen here
When The Dirty Word breaks at 10pm there will be a 30 minute fireworks show and then the band will
close out the night. The entertainment area will be open to adults 21 and over, with an adjacent area
There will be thousands of extra people in town Saturday, including 25 thousand
in riders and support teams. So if you're heading up to Sioux Center to join in
on the fun, Moeller suggests taking an alternative route to get where you need
to be in town. Coming up on highway 75, take 20th Street east, follow the road
north, go around the fairgrounds, then head back west toward the industrial park
on the north edge of town to park. Highway 75 will be open all the way through
but traffic will likely be bumper to bumper.
This is the 4th time that Sioux Center has hosted RAGBRAI and Jason Moeller says
they've planned to make this Saturday's events the best yet.

Breaking Down the First BCS Standings of 2012
by Travis Demers
posted Oct 14 2012 8:43PM
So the first BCS Standings are out, and like always until the end, they pretty much mean nothing. Does it matter that Florida and Alabama are ahead of Oregon? No, it will all play out by the end of the season. Alabama is far and away the #1 based on the BCS Average, Kansas State is closer to Oregon, than Oregon is to Florida. Lets take a look at the top 10 and check out each team's path to Miami, with predictions at the end.
(6-0) Remaining Schedule: @Tennessee; Miss St, @LSU, Texas A&M, Western Carolina, Auburn, SEC Title Game @ Atlanta
At this point, everyone expects Alabama to be the latest team from the SEC to play for the Natty, and probably win the 7th straight for the conference, and their second straight and third in four years. There are 2 road blocks on the schedule. @LSU, and the SEC title game which will either be Florida, Georgia, or South Carolina. Bama was fortunate enough to avoid all 3 on their regular season schedule. Texas A&M is good, but that game is in Tuscaloosa, and I don't expect the Tide to have trouble. It's easy to say Alabama will run the table, but it's not that simple. Their game with LSU on Nov 3 is on the road, which is never easy for anyone. LSU finally looked like a top level team last night, but it took a loss to Florida for them to get there. More on the Tigers in a minute. The bigger thing I look at right now is how easy their overall sked is for an SEC schedule. It's not their fault Michigan isn't very good, and they avoid FL, GA, and SC, but one tough road game all year, LSU, and that's it.
2 - FLORIDA - BCS Avg: .909
(6-0) Sked: South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, ULL, Jacksonville State, @ Florida State, SEC Title Game @ Atlanta (Likely vs Alabama)
It's been somewhat of a surprise the Gators are unbeaten at this point. Not a huge shock they beat LSU, we all expected LSU to go down at some point with the way they had been playing up until then. The A&M win is looking better and better. With SC, GA and FSU on the sked before a potential SEC title game, it's hard to imagne the Gators will end up in Atlanta without a loss. They finally figured out the QB position, but Jeff Driskell is not a great passer, and while they haven't given up a ton of points, the defense is inconsistent. Theoretically, the Gators could be unblemished facing an unbeaten Bama team for the SEC title, but I don't expect it. If that is the case, and there is another unbeaten somewhere else, one of the two will miss out.
3 - OREGON - BCS Avg: .899
(6-0) Sked: @ Arizona State, Colorado, @USC, @CAL, Stanford, @ Oregon State, Pac 12 Title Game
Ok Duck fans, it's simple. Win all your games, and you play for the natty. That's easier said than done, with ASU on the road this week, and USC and Cal on the road later this year. I don't expect much trouble against Stanford. If they do go unbeaten all year, then they have to beat USC or ASU at home for the P12 title. These things always work themselves out and I don't think it's very likely that there will be 3 or more unbeatens. If they do lose a game, it's going to be very difficult to play for the title, even if everyone else has a loss.
4 - KANSAS STATE - BCS Avg: .896
(6-0) Sked: @ WVU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, @TCU, @ Baylor, Texas
Not an easy schedule for the cats. Kansas State all year has struggled in the first half of games, then turns it on in the second half. Eventually it will catch up to them. It could be this week on the road at West Virginia who will be looking to make a statement after getting shredded by Texas Tech last week. Collin Klein is a very good dual threat QB, and they do have some offensive weapons, but their defense is average. There isn't an easy game left, but if they do go the rest of the way without a loss, we might get that K State - Oregon matchup that the Wildcats backed out of before the season started.
5 - NOTRE DAME - BCS Avg: .877
(6-0) Sked: BYU, @Oklahoma, Pitt, @ BC, Wake Forest, @USC
The Golden Domers are relevant for the first time in a decade. BYU will be interesting this weekend, after seeing OSU's offense put up impressive numbers, but that should be a deffensive battle. Road games with OK, and USC are obviously the toughest on the schedule, and both teams will have a lot to play for. I'm impressed that Brian Kelly has brought the Irish back to prominence, at least on the surface, but I just don't trust them to be able to do it for 12 games without a mistake.
6 - LSU - BCS Avg: .752
(6-1) - Sked: @ Texas A&M, Alabama, Miss St, Ole Miss, @ Arkansas, SEC Title Game
LSU still controls their own destiny for the conference title, and if they are able to win out, they will play for the title. If they play like they did against South Carolina, they certainly have a shot. If they play like they did in the 3-4 previous weeks, they don't. They scored 23 points against a very very good Gamecock Defense, and held on of the more dynamic offenses in the country to just 21 points. This week in College Station is no walk in the park, there is a potential loss there, but LSU was expected to content for the national championship at the start of the year, and I still think they can.
7 - SOUTH CAROLINA - BCS Avg: .693
(6-1) - Sked: @ Florida, Tenn, Arkansas, Wofford, @ Clemson, SEC Title Game
The Gamecocks very nearly came out of death valley Saturday with a win, and had they, they would be #2 right now, and Florida would be #3. If they win out, they will either get another crack at LSU (which would mean everyone in the SEC has a loss, and SC could end up in Miami should they win) or face Alabama, either way, it's going to be more than a challenge.
8 - OREGON STATE - BCS Avg: 680
(5-0) - Sked: Utah, @ Washington, Arizona State, @ Stanford, Cal, Oregon, Oregon, Nicholls State/Pac 12 Title Game
If you expected this, you are either a moron, a liar, or both. 5-0 for the first time since 1939, and winning games in different ways... including putting up an offensive show with their backup QB against a very stout BYU defense. No SC on the schedule works in their favor, and they control their own destiny. There are still multiple challenges on the schedule, but there have been crazier things in sports than Oregon State running the table if it happens.
9 - OKLAHOMA - BCS Avg: 666
(4-1) - Sked: Kansas, Notre Dame, @ Iowa State, Baylor, @ WVU, Oklahoma State, @ TCU
The Sooners always make a mistake, the question is, will Kansas State be the only one. There are still 2 very tough games left with ND, and WV, TCU not as difficult with Pachall missing the rest of the year. In order to finish in the top 2, they need some help.
10 - USC - BCS Avg: .595
(5-1) - Sked: Colorado, @ Arizona, Oregon, Arizona State, @ UCLA, Notre Dame, Pac 12 Title Game
Because of USC's name and history, they will get some votes where other schools with the same resume might not. Win out, with some tough games, and get some help and they will have a decent chance at playing for it all. They have to be better offensively. Matt Barkley hasn't looked like the Matt Barkley we thought we were going to see, and he may have cost himself the #1 pick with his play through the first 6 games. Will their lack of depth come into play as the season wears on... that's the biggest issue.
OTHER UNBEATEN TEAMS IN BCS TOP 25 - 12 Mississippi State (6-0), 15 Rutgers (6-0), 16 Louisville (6-0), 21 Cincinnati (5-0
Mississippi State still has Bama and LSU on the road, and Texas A&M at home. The 3 big east schools still have to play each other.
Only 2 SEC schools can play in BCS Bowl games, so there are going to be a few teams with hurt feelings at the end of the year, just like every year. Whoever loses the LSU Alabama game will be one of those this year. I really don't see two SEC teams playing for the title again, but it could happen. I have this sneaking feeling Notre Dame is going to go unbeaten. I don't think they are one of the top 5 teams in the country, but with their schedule compared to everyone elses, I think they have the best shot at going undefeated. I do think LSU beats Alabama. I do think Florida loses, and so does Kansas State. It's a tough task for Oregon to beat USC or Arizona State twice, but I think they do. Yes, I think we see Oregon and Notre Dame play for the natty. There's a 100% chance my opinion will change by this time next week.

The menu system isn't monolithic. Rather, it is composed of numerous active parts, many of which can operate independently of each other.
What they operate on is a list of menu nodes, that gets passed around the menu system, until it emerges at the other end.
The main active parts of the menu system are menu generators and modifiers.
Some of these parts are supplied with the menus application. Some come from other applications (from the cms application in django CMS, for example, or some other application entirely).
All these active parts need to be registered within the menu system.
Then, when the time comes to build a menu, the system will ask all the registered menu generators and modifiers to get to work on it.
Menu generators and modifiers are classes.
To add nodes to a menu a generator is required.
There is one in cms for example, which examines the Pages in the database and adds them as nodes.
These classses are subclasses of menus.base.Menu. The one in cms is cms.menu.CMSMenu.
In order to use a generator, its get_nodes() method must be called.
A modifier examines the nodes that have been assembled, and modifies them according to its requirements (adding or removing them, or manipulating their attributes, as it sees fit).
An important one in cms (cms.menu.SoftRootCutter) removes the nodes that are no longer required when a soft root is encountered.
These classes are subclasses of menus.base.Modifier. Examples are cms.menu.NavExtender and cms.menu.SoftRootCutter.
In order to use a modifier, its modify() method must be called.
Note that each Modifier's modify() method can be called twice, before and after the menu has been trimmed.
For example when using the {% show_menu %} templatetag, it's called:
This corresponds to the state of the nodes list before and after menus.templatetags.menu_tags.cut_levels(), which removes nodes from the menu according to the arguments provided by the templatetag.
This is because some modification might be required on all nodes, and some might only be required on the subset of nodes left after cutting.
Nodes are assembled in a tree. Each node is an instance of the menus.base.NavigationNode class.
A NavigationNode has attributes such as URL, title, parent and children - as one would expect in a navigation tree.
You can't assume that a menus.base.NavigationNode represents a django CMS Page. Firstly, some nodes may represent objects from other applications. Secondly, you can't expect to be be able to access Page objects via NavigationNodes.
Let's look at an example using the {% show_menu %} templatetag. It will be different for other templatetags, and your applications might have their own menu classes. But this should help explain what's going on and what the menu system is doing.
One thing to understand is that the system passes around a list of nodes, doing various things to it.
Many of the methods below pass this list of nodes to the ones it calls, and return them to the ones that they were in turn called by.
Don't forget that show_menu recurses - so it will do all of the below for each level in the menu.
checks the cache to see if it should return cached nodes
loops over each node, comparing its URL with the request.path, and marks the best match as selected
cms.menu.SoftRootCutter removes all nodes below the appropriate soft root
menus.modifiers.Marker loops over all nodes; finds selected, marks its ancestors, siblings and children
menus.modifiers.AuthVisibility removes nodes that require authorisation to see
we're now back in menus.templatetags.menu_tags.ShowMenu.get_context() again
if we have been provided a root_id, get rid of any nodes other than its descendants
menus.templatetags.menu_tags.cut_levels() removes nodes from the menu according to the arguments provided by the templatetag
return the nodes to the context in the variable children

I have been reading a lot of atheist's comments about how they feel that they must hide their atheism from their religious families. Although my family is very Catholic, I never felt ashamed of my beliefs but instead proud. My situation is probably different from most, I live in Miami and it's more open minded than most places. I've read some people that use the term "come out" i.e "I haven't come out as an Atheist to my family yet." This interests me. It's the same term used for when gays reveal that they're gay. I understand that both groups are oppressed and attacked by the religious. But aren't they fundamentally different? Being gay is not a choice, you are born that way. Atheism is a choice because you are making a conscious effort in choosing to not associate with a religion. How can we make Atheism something to be proud of? Something that we clearly researched and put a great deal of thought into to come to the conclusion that we don't believe in God?

I think it's harder to be open about your lack of belief when you're an adult. I grew up in an accepting part of the country (Pacific NW) but the "A" word is still not something I like to toss about. It unfortunately still carries the connotation that you're hostile to people's beliefs. I'm not a hostile guy; other than to be depressed/disappointed if you're religious, I don't give much of a damn what you believe as long as you're an open, normal person who's not constantly in God-mode. It's easier to be honest about atheism when you're in your late teens or early twenties and are among your friends, especially if you're all college-educated. I've found that when you get into the work-force and have to work closely with all kinds of people it's not so easy to flaunt your deep thoughts, especially if they include atheism. It may be hard to believe (or not), but a huge number of people have never had a deep thought in their lives, and the workplace isn't a useful place to challenge them. Plus you'll work with older folks and people with kids and conservative people, and it's a bad idea to get a reputation as an un-American God-hater, even if you're not. These kinds of folks will generally believe in belief, if they don't necessarily believe in the literal Bible God, and they'll expect you to at least share their values as a prerequisite for considering you a decent human.
For a long time, I have equated coming out as an atheist with coming out as gay. In fact, I was just talking about it with another atheist last evening. Thankfully, these days both being gay and being atheist are much more accepted than they used to be. Also, it's easier to admit to being "different" as you get used to saying it. Now, although I don't lead with, "Hi, I'm Amanda and I'm atheist," I do tell people pretty early on, as it enters the conversation. What I hate, though, are the sad looks. I'm sure gays get the same response, but I can't change being atheist any more than gays can change whom they love. It's not really a choice either way; fundamentally, we are who we are.
Thanks!! This is is exactly what I was looking for.
I think the way an atheist would be proud is for other people to accept them besides the fact that they are atheist. The fact is, most people in the U.S. do not accept atheists (learned that the hard way!). They argue. They're violent towards atheists. Some people (especially in the Bible Belt) are downright afraid to "come out." It's not right and will only change by proving to theists that we're not bad people.

According to fixed bug #5935, conversation detection should be done (partly) based on referenceIDs since Zimbra 8. However, that is not the case for me.
In fact, I'm still getting all kinds of misses:
- When people send me e-mail with an empty subject, it often gets grouped with a spam message.
- When people send me e-mail with a subject like 'help' or 'phone call', they all get grouped together.
- Zimbra detects "Re:" and "Fwd:", but does not do so for the Dutch versions of those. So, whenever I get a reply with "Antw:" added to the subject, it is not grouped in the right conversation.
So, should this all be fixed in Zimbra 8 or not?

Hard Cheese Complexities
With Shavuos[1] rapidly approaching, it has become almost customary to pontificate on the topic of the halachic prohibition of mixing meat and milk and the mandated waiting period between them. Commonly addressed is the issue of hard cheese, the one dairy item that requires a similar six hour wait after consumption. This article attempts to focus on this key issue, and hopes to clear up any confusion on the topic.
This prohibition, although not mentioned in the Gemara, nevertheless dates back to the days of one of the greatest Rishonim, the Maharam M'Rottenberg[2]. It seems that a while after he ate a piece of hard cheese he reported that he still felt the residue of the cheese in his mouth. He concluded that hard cheese shares similar properties with meat, and therefore maintained that is proper to wait a corresponding amount of time after eating such cheese before partaking of a meat meal, as one normally would between meat and dairy. Although some authorities felt that the Maharam only mandated this for himself as a personal stringency[3], nevertheless, most decisors understood that the Maharam was introducing a new halacha, meant for all of Klal Yisrael[4]. In fact, this is how the Rema[5] rules, (and followed by virtually all later authorities[6]) that it is appropriate[7] to wait a commensurate amount of time after eating hard cheese as one would wait after eating meat[8].
Defining Hard Cheese
So, what exactly constitutes "hard cheese", and thus necessitates a waiting period? As with many other halachic issues, this is debated by the authorities. The accepted conclusion is that if one's cheese fits into one or more of the following categories, then it would be considered "hard cheese" and thus requires a full waiting period:
- That it is aged six months[9] (Parmesan would usually fit this category).
- It is "holey"[10] as a result of production (As in "Holey Swiss Cheese").
- It is an extremely fatty and greasy cheese[11] (Making the taste linger much longer).
- It is very strong and sharp[12] (Limburger would be a good example of this).
Any cheese that does not meet at least one of these requirements, to all intents and purposes, is considered soft cheese and would only entail rinsing and cleaning of the mouth and hands[13] [14].
American and Yellow Cheese
The standard everyday cheeses used for grilled cheese, cheese toasts and pizza etc., [American, Yerushalayim, Mozzerella, Achuza, Gush Chalav etc.] would not seem to fit any of the above criteria and would not require a waiting period. And, in fact, the majority of contemporary authorities, including Rav Aharon Kotler, the Chazon Ish, and Rav Moshe Feinstein[15], rule that they are not considered halachic hard cheese. Rav Aharon related that most people do not know what real hard cheese is - a cheese that needs a "rib-eisen" (sharp grater) to cut off pieces. This would exclude our common cheeses, which can easily be pulled apart with our bare hands[16].
But if it's so simple, why are there people who claim that one must wait after eating any sort of semi-hard cheese? Some even take this a step further and assert that it is Minhag Eretz Yisrael to wait a full six hours after eating pizza!
Minhag Eretz Yisrael?
The answer is based on a few enigmatic statements and responsae by several contemporary Gedolei Eretz Yisrael - Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zt"l, Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv shlit"a and Rav Shmuel HaLevi Wosner shlit"a .
Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach is quoted as ruling that one must wait the "full count" after eating the Israeli "Yellow Cheese" (Yerushalayim, Achuza, Gush Chalav, etc.). Rav Elyashiv and Rav Wosner both wrote responsae asserting similarly, that although not fitting the "hard cheese" criteria established by earlier authorities, nevertheless, one should still wait after these cheeses. Following their lead, several other authorities rule stringently as well[17]. Consequently, many people, especially in Eretz Yisrael, maintain that one should wait after eating these cheeses.
However, if one would properly and thoroughly analyze the actual responsae of these Gedolim, he might conclude rather differently.
Finding out Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach's authentic opinion is easier said than done. His opinion is quoted in no less than six separate sefarim (!) each relating conflicting and contradictory accounts of what his ruling was[18]. The varied accounts include a lenient ruling on this topic, namely that these "yellow cheeses" are not considered hard cheese at all. It would therefore seem incongruous to be stringent on account of his reportedly machmir opinion.
Rav Wosner wrote his responsum over forty-five years ago[19], and he writes that he personally is stringent, as (at the time) it was impossible to tell how long the cheeses were aged, since there was no manufacturer's dating code printed on it. Since it was possible that the "yellow cheese" sold was aged for six months, he was machmir. However, nowadays, with the actual manufacturing date printed on every package, one can easily see if this cheese was aged for six months or not. In fact, more recent accounts of Rav Wosner's opinion are that one does not have to wait after eating these "yellow cheeses"[20].
As for Rav Elyashiv's responsum, he definitely does rule that one must wait after eating such cheese[21]. But his reasoning has puzzled many. Rav Elyashiv writes that one must be stringent, for the taste of these "yellow cheeses" are charif v'chazak - "sharp and strong", terms which many would only associate with such strong cheeses as Limburger, Gold Cheddar, and Roquefort. Several later authorities, including Dayan Y.Y. Fischer zt"l of the Bada"tz Eida Charedis, have been perplexed by Rav Elyashiv's words, since "yellow cheese" as we know it is neither sharp nor strong tasting[22].
Additionally, the Ben Ish Chai, over a hundred years ago, related that Minhag Yerushalayim is to be lenient with such "hard cheeses"[23]. Moreover, as mentioned previously, the great Chazon Ish, final arbiter for much of Eretz Yisrael[24], ruled that nowadays, unless a cheese is aged for a full year, it is not considered "hard cheese", and our "yellow cheeses" most definitely do not meet that criterion. In conclusion, the claim that the prevailing custom in Eretz Yisrael is to wait after "yellow cheese" seems unsubstantiated[25].
A Cheesy Hetter
Pizza and other melted cheese favorites actually have an additional consideration to be lenient, even if actual hard cheese is used. The Yad Yehuda[26] rules that if hard cheese is melted, then it no longer retains the status of hard cheese and one is not required to wait after eating it. Although not unanimously accepted (as the cheese's taste remains unchanged even in its melted form)[27], nevertheless, several later authorities follow this ruling as well[28]. They assert that one may definitely rely on this leniency regarding pizza since it is made with melted Mozzarella or "yellow cheese".
There is strong basis for the generally accepted custom of not waiting six hours after grilled cheese and pizza. Yet, these days, when it's popular to use all types of exotic ingredients in gourmet cooking, it may be worthwhile to check your cheese packaging very carefully!

[1]Aside for its many names in Biblibal and Rabbinic literature, Shavuos is also known throughout Israelas the "Holiday of Cheese". See previous article "The Halachic Challenges of the Cheesecake".
[2]Shu"t Maharam M'Rottenberg (615), also cited by the Mordechai (Chullin 627) and the Hagahos Ashiri (glosses to the Rosh to Chullin 105). On a historical side note, the Maharam M'Rottenberg, was niftar in captivity after being unjustly imprisoned, in order to force the resident Jews to pay an exorbitant ransom to fill the Emperor's depleted coffers. The Maharam refused to allow himself to be ransomed, fearing that it would set a dangerous precedent of rulers holding rabbis captive and forcing the unfortunate Jews to pay the price. Indeed, a short while after his passing, the Emperor attempted to do the same for the Maharam's prized pupil, the Rosh, who only narrowly avoided capture, escaping to Spain.
[3]The Maharshal (Chullin, Ch.8, 6) was extremely adamant about this, maintaining that no one else has to wait due to the Maharam's personal account.

[7]However, the Rema himself qualifies that this halacha is intrinsically a chumra, and "one may not yell at anyone who does not follow it". There are several halchic dispensations due to this. See for example, Maadanei Hashulchan (Y"D 89, Matamei Hashulchan 11).
[8] Since the whole waiting period after hard cheese is based on the waiting period after meat, one may not wait less time after eating meat than he would after eating hard cheese - Shach (Y"D 89, 17).

[13]For more on this topic see earlier article "The Halachic Power of a Diyuk". There are also those who follow the standard understanding of the Zohar (Parshas Mishpatim pg. 125, 1) and wait one hour after eating any dairy product. Others customarily wait a half-hour, even though there is no known source for this. There are different rationales offered to explain this. Perhaps this issue will be addressed in a future article.
[14]There are those who are also strict with making Birchas HaMazon between a dairy and a meat meal. This is a tremendous dispute among halachic authorities, whether Birchas HaMazon is required after eating dairy before eating meat. Perhaps this issue will be addressed in a future article.
[15]These Gedolim include Rav Aharon Kotler (cited in Kitzur Shulchan Aruch - Pfeiffer, on BB"C, vol. 1, Kuntress HaBiurim pg. 138), the Chazon Ish (Maaseh Ish vol. 5, pg. 22), Rav Moshe Feinstein (cited in Shu"t Mishneh Halachos vol. 16, 9), the Ba'er Moshe (Pischei Halacha on Hilchos Kashrus pg. 108), Rav Y.Y. Fischer (Shu"t Even Yisrael vol. 9, 68), Rav Moshe Halberstam (cited in Shu"t Shav V'Rafa vol. 2, 26), Rav Chaim P. Scheinberg (cited in Shu"t Shav V'Rafa vol. 2, 26), Rav Chaim Kanievsky (Nezer Chaim, Devarim Nochachim 124), the Rivevos Efraim (cited in sefer Yigal Yaakov footnote 247), Rav Yisrael HaLevi Belsky (Shu"t Shulchan HaLevi vol. 1, Ch. 22, 1), and Rav Asher Weiss (Minchas Asher al HaTorah, Shmos 61, 2).
[16]See Megillas Sefer (on BB"C 89, 5 s.v. uvagvinos) who proves this from Gemara Shabbos 121b.
[17]Including the Maadanei Hashulchan (89, 30; Shu"t Maadanei Melachim 89 & 90), the Mishneh Halachos (Shu"t vol. 16, 9) and the Avnei Yashpei (Shu"t vol. 6, 112, 2), all of whom say that they follow the psak and rationales of these Gedolim to rule stringently with "yellow cheese". The Minchas Yitzchok was also quoted as saying "yesh makom l'hachmir" (cited in Shu"t Teshuvos V'Hanhagos vol. 2, 388).
[18]Sefer HaKashrus (Ch. 10, 50, footnote 126) quotes Rav Shlomo Zalman as being stringent as the high fat percentages used in modern day "yellow cheese" causes the taste to linger much longer, similar to real hard cheese. Yet, Me'ohr HaShabbos (vol. 3, Teshuvos - 38, 1) cites a different (erroneous - see footnote 25) reason entirely why Rav Shlomo Zalman was machmir, as nowadays, with modern day chemicals etc., cheese can be aged 6 months in a relatively short time, and therefore the common "yellow cheese" is considered as if it was already aged 6 months.Yet, two other reliable sources,Rav Aharon Pfeiffer's Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (on BB"C, vol. 1, Kuntress HaBiurim pg. 138), and in Kovetz Moriah (Teves 5756, Piskei Halachos shel HaGRS"Z) both report that Rav Shlomo Zalman maintained that "yellow cheese" is not considered hard cheese, and no waiting period is required. However, they relate that he personally was indeed stringent. The Halichos Shlomo (Moadim vol. 2 Ch.12, 13, footnote 50) tries to synthesize all these accounts and opines that Rav Shlomo Zalman originally only mandated waiting after real hard cheeses. But, in his later years, after "it became difficult to tell the differences between cheeses", he became more stringent and ruled as well for others. The only problem with this is that in Shu"t Shav V'Rafa (vol. 2, 26), Rav Shmuel Auerbach shlit"a is quoted as saying that his father, Rav Shlomo Zalman, held that there is absolutely no reason to be stringent with 'yellow cheeses" at all.
[19]Shu"t Shevet HaLevi (vol. 2, 35).
[20]See Shu"t Mishneh Halachos (ibid. s.v. uvadavar) who although ruling to be machmir like Rav Elyashiv and the Shevet HaLevi's psak, nevertheless concludes that if there are manufacturing dates printed on the cheese packaging, one may rely on them. See also Kovetz M'Bais Levi (vol. 6, 5755- from Rav Wosner's Beis Medrash) who concludes that one does not need to wait after "yellow cheese". This is also corroborated (in Shu"t Shav V'Rafa ibid.) by Rav S. Berman shlit"a, who said that Rav Wosner told him explicitly that one does not have to wait after such cheeses.
[21]Kovetz Teshuvos (vol. 1, 58, 2).
[22]Shu"t Even Yisrael (vol. 9, 68, 2), Shu"t Shulchan HaLevi (vol. 1, Ch. 22, 1), Shu"t Shav V'Rafa (ibid., quoting Rav Y. Wiener).
[23]Ben Ish Chai (Year 2, Parshas Shlach 15).
[24]The Chazon Ish's nephew (and Rav Elyashiv's son-in-law) Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlit"a (see footnote 15) rules this way as well. See Shu"t Maadanei Melachim 87 & 88 for a possible explanation. For more on the deference shown for the words of the great Chazon Ish, see recent article: "Buffalo Burgers and the Zebu Contoversy".
[25]In the words of Rav Yaakov Blau shlit"a of the Bada"tz Eida Charedis (to this author), "to wait after yellow cheese is a chumra bli ta'am"! One of the recent sevaros that some claim to be machmir is that nowadays, with modern day chemicals etc., cheese can be "aged as if 6 months" in a relatively short time, and therefore the common "yellow cheese" is considered as if it was already aged 6 months, and consequently is hard cheese. The only problem with this beautiful logic is that it is not true! A while back, this author visited Tnuva's main cheese-making factory in Israel with three renowned kashrus and halachic experts (mv"r Rabbi Yonason Wiener and Rabbi Mordechai Kuber, and av"m Rabbi Manish Spitz) and the Tnuva factory cheese specialists explained that this rationale does not hold water, and no additional chemicals or enzymes are used to "speed up" the cheese process, which is pretty much the same as it always was - sitting and ageing in a "bacteria culture bath" for a period of time. This is echoed by renowned kashrus expert Rav Yisrael Belsky shlit"a, who is also the chief Posek for the OU (Shu"t Shulchan HaLevi ibid. Appendix s.v. gam) who uses very sharp terms to disprove the claims of the machmirim based on this erroneous rationale. The Tnuva expert also informed us that the "yellow cheese" average processing time is only 18 days! This was later confirmed by Rav Yaakov Blau shlit"a, who heads the Bada"tz Eida Chareidis Hashgacha, who added that standard "yellow cheese" is not aged for more than 25 days, nowhere near the six month mark. So even if the standard "yellow cheese" continues to age in the fridge and store shelf, it still has a long way to go to reach six months. This is why Rav Blau called waiting after its consumption a "chumra bli ta'am".
[26]Yad Yehuda (89 Piha"k 26). However, there is some contemporary debate as to his exact intent. See Rabbi Doniel Neustadt's Daily Halacha Discussion (pg. 238, 22), Rabbi Binyomin Forst's The Laws of Kashrus (Ch. 8, 2, 96), and Kovetz Ohr Yisrael vol. 6, pg. 89, s.v. ulam).
[27]Including the Ben Ish Chai (ibid.), Rav Elyashiv (ibid.), Badei Hashulchan (pg. 63, Biurim s.v. v'chein), Avnei Yashpei (ibid.), and the Maadanei Melachim (Shu"t 91). They all write that there is no difference between melted or solid hard cheese concerning the waiting period.
[28]Including the Atzei HaOlah (BB"C 3, 17, Chukei Chaim 16), Rav Ezriel Auerbach (son of Rav Shlomo Zalman and son-in-law of Rav Elyashiv, cited in Kashrus in the Kitchen Q & A - Teshuvospg. 216), Rav Yisrael HaLevi Belsky (Shu"t Shulchan HaLevi ibid. s.v. zos), and in Kovetz Pri Temarim (vol. 5, pg. 128, 82).

Also, 17 percent fewer requests were made about the current value of pension accounts than in the previous quarter.
The data are from 35 defined-benefit and defined-contribution plans in the U.K. representing about 340,000 members.
The data seem to indicate that confidence in retirement plans is returning as a result of stock market rallies, which would "suggest a lack of understanding of the long-term nature of pension saving," Colin Hamilton, commercial director at Aon Consulting, said in a news release.
"Effective member communication and education has an essential role to play in explaining the long-term nature of saving for retirement and ensuring that members are well informed during periods of economic volatility so that they do not rely on equity markets to solely dictate their concerns."
Aon also found that defined-contribution plan participants continued to stay the course on investments in the second quarter, as just 0.01 percent of participants made investment changes—the same rate as the previous quarter.

My client has an old Exchange 5.5 server without the Internet connector. Since there is no Internet connector, accounts do not have SMTP addresses like email@example.com. When I import mail from this Exchange server into Zimbra 3.0.0_M2_740 and then view the user's Inbox with the Zimbra webmail client, the FROM: addresses are empty. Opening a particular message will show the FROM: address as:
"Joe Smith"
I assume that Zimbra is looking for a fully-qualified email address of the form firstname.lastname@example.com. Since it only finds "Joe Smith", it decides not to display anything.
I have searched the forums and found no other posting relating to this. Has anybody else seen this problem? Is there a workaround?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- At least eight Democratic members of the House are among about 200 people arrested after blocking a main street near the Capitol during a massive rally seeking to push Republicans to hold a vote on a stalled immigration reform bill.
Representatives of other groups whose members attended the Tuesday rally, such as United Farm Workers and Farmworker Justice, confirm that several of their members have been arrested.
Capitol Police estimate that 200 have been taken into custody.
Representatives of the social policy organization Center for Community Change and The Associated Press witnessed the arrests of House members John Lewis of Georgia; Luis GutiTrrez and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois; Ral Grijalva of Arizona; Keith Ellison of Minnesota; Joseph Crowley and Charles Rangel of New York; and Al Green of Texas.

|{thanks Adrian for taking such a glamorous picture of me in an effort to "document the baby journey"}
- Saltine Crackers. I had a pack of these sitting on my nightstand and they actually did work really well for the first couple of weeks. I think the combination of the salt and starch quieted my upset stomach. This week though, they've somehow stopped working on me.
- Ginger Tea. I had a pack of this ginger tea leftover from when I was really into tea almost a year ago. The ginger actually does help a bit first thing in the morning. The smell is quite strong but it does help when my stomach is rumbling. Ginger candies also work quite well, but the taste was a bit too strong for me to handle so I didn't continue with those {but thank you Kim_TX for the rec!}. Unfortunately on the days when my stomach is ok but my head feels like it's spinning, the ginger tea isn't much use.
- Sea Bands. I just picked up these wristbands at Walgreens today {at the recommendation of Katie} and have to say so far these are doing a great job at helping my nausea. Normally I get hit with a huge wave of nausea after every meal but today was the first time that I actually felt ok. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that these babies keep working for me!
- Preggie Pops. I've read about these lozenge-type drops on a few of the pregnancy forums and Robin actually mentioned it too in one of my post comments. The reviews have been a bit mixed from what I've seen, and since they aren't easily accessible at a local store, I haven't made the extra effort to order them online. Has anybody had good experiences with these?
And I promise to be back tomorrow with an outfit post!
P.S. In case you missed it:

you could try creating a mask (black and white image) concentrating on the pathways than the buildings. here's a quick photoshop test - GIMP will probably have similar things
1: fill background
2: draw out streets
I used a brush to draw the biggest, then keep reducing the brush size for alleys ways etc. also used the circular marquee tool and then stroke white for the curved areas. with Photoshop CS2 and higher you can press shift when using a brush to create striaght lines.
My example is pretty slap-dash resulting in acute angled walls , whitch while do occur in real life in buildings, might be too extreme. more care at this point for more square structures will make a better looking city similar to the example you have.
You can also have a brush of a street, turn up the spacing for regular distanced streets - you'll need to adjust the angle as you go.
3: using 2, I turned it into a mask - putting it in the channels palette and so I could only select the black areas. created a new layer and filled grey.
on that new layer used the layer FX bevel and drop shadow.
4:played with filter High pass and Adjust levels.
it looks like that example uses photocopy or similar. I didnt spend long - about 30 minutes (working out a method, and typing this response inc) Obviously with more care you could get some L, H C shaped buildings.
If you do use Photoshop, you can also create the foot print of buildings even faster by openeing up the square brushes, and brush options. turn up the spacing , the angle a bit and the size jitter. though with this you can only have rows and collumns of buildings. If you have Painter, I think you can probably do the curves streets with this method. I havent used it much but I know it does have a brush to orientate to the angle of stroke. Coral painter usually has free tryB4 you buys to downloads.
You can also use Photoshop another way - rather than the square brush, make one detail, high res version of a building ( or half a dozen types) then turn it into a brush with size jitters and you can rotate it etc as mentioned above. your create a hi res version and so you can scale it as a brush without it pixelating and draw with it with spacing turned up. If you can shift click with this brush for a straight lines then you can create blocks pretty quickly.
hope it helps. I didnt spend too much time on this, so Im sure there may be better ways. for example I'm already thinking - get the Roleplaying City Map Generator to help create the mask and go from there.
or someone else might have a more simple approach still.

When we rolled out zimbra, we had to think of what address we were going to give for people to access it. We have a shortcut on people's desktop so they don't really ever have to type the URL unless they're away from the office.
We considered http://zimbra.domain.com but thought "Who is going to be able to remember that? They'll get all confused and start doing things like zebra or zippo or something like that". So we finally went with Webmail thinking that was nice, simple, generic and easy to remember because it's name is it's purpose.
Well since we launched, we get numerous calls from people at home who want to access the web client. And wouldn't you know it, they call up and say "Hey, I can't remember the url to access Zimbra?". Maybe it's because for better or for worse the word zimbra is well known around here lately. I think I'll alias zimbra.domain.com now
Let this be a lesson maybe
