School board loses effective member in commissioners' divided decision
Published: Saturday, November 30, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 29, 2013 at 3:58 p.m.
The goal of having the Lexington City Board of Education be a diverse body that represents the makeup of the school system is laudable. The system is split almost equally between African-Americans, whites and Hispanics, with Asians making up 5 percent. So the eight members ideally will reflect that. However, the action of the Davidson County Board of Commissioners in not reappointing Betty Pope does raise questions.
Pope was eligible for a second three-year term, but the commissioners voted 4-3 Tuesday to replace her with Sam Lem, who is Cambodian. Having Lem on the board will give a voice to the Asian population, but Pope, who is white, had done nothing to deserve being passed over for a second term. Superintendent Rick Kriesky praised the service of Pope, a former long-time teacher. Anytime a vote on an appointment results in a decision that's not unanimous means more is going on than may be publicly revealed. A better course of action would have been for commissioners to reappoint Pope and then put Lem on the board at the next opportunity. But with appointed positions like the city school board, the governing bodies that make the selections have the opportunity to remove people at their choosing.
Another superintendent, Dr. Fred Mock, minced no words in his feelings about charter schools. Mock, who retires at the end of the year, warned about the consequences should a charter school be approved for Davidson County. A group called Davidson Charter Academy has reapplied to open a school here after being rejected in its first attempt. The group says objections have been remedied, and with legislators and the state looking more favorably on charters, its chances seem good this time. Mock, as would be expected, praised and defended public schools while also warning about possible class divisions should a charter school open and pull more affluent students out of the public systems.
More details have emerged about the proposed industrial park in Linwood. It now has a name, I-85 Corporate Center. The commissioners have decided to seek two federal government loans for the park, which could generate between $6 and 9 million. So progress is finally taking place after 10 years of the park being mostly an idea with little actual progress. Challenges remain, including land purchases and decisions on utilities and even annexation, but the long-desired park may finally become a reality.
Anytime a long-time company closes it brings sadness to the community. This week brought news that Cunningham Brick, which traced its origin back more than 100 years ago,will close its Davidson County locations as General Shale takes over its Cleveland County plant. No production had occurred here in a couple of years, but the corporate office remained operational. About 15 people will lose their jobs. That leaves another name of a local company to the history books.

Born: 10/17/1960
Birth Place: Madison, Wisconsin, USA
Born on Oct. 17, 1960 in Madison, WI, Marshall first began making home movies as a youth, including a parody of "The Brady Bunch" which starred his sisters, while appearing in productions of "The King and I" and "The Sound of Music" as a child. But by the time he was preparing to enroll at Carnegie Mellon University, he had shifted his interest to dance, training in both jazz and ballet. In 1980, he took a year off from school to join in a touring company of "A Chorus Line," directed by noted choreographer Michael Bennett. Marshall took his experiences back to Carnegie Mellon, becoming a much better dancer by the time he graduated in 1982. The next year, he landed a part in the musical "Zorb... Continue Bio >>

The papa breaks off in sheets under the erosive power of water. You can see here the slabs of clay that have come off the walls and are being dissolved into the water.
This clay is cut away to form the sides of the road; when you see this you realise it's best not to hang around under the sheer bluffs. The road must get covered in slick mud when it rains.
|Places and people
This road takes us back into the steep, geologically young landscape we had seen on the Forgotten World Highway. Soft papa, pushed up from the sea about one million years ago, is being rapidly eroded by water. Here is the Motuaruhe Stream, which runs through these high white walls of the clay/rock.
This tributary is considerably wider than many, some of which are thin enfilades in the hills, with precipitous walls covered in obstinate bush that hangs down over the bare rock.
|Places and people
A feature of NZ rural areas is the letter boxes at the ends of roads and driveways, as houses may be quite a way off. Some people create ornate and amusing boxes, beloved of photographers, painters and post-card makers. This is one of the best we've seen.
|Places and people
Leaving Ohakune, we headed to Raetihi, from which the backroad known as the Whanganui River Road begins. The Whanganui itself is the longest navigable river in the country and a place of great history. The road runs alongside it, about half of it now sealed and a lot of work underway to seal the next section.
The first town after Pipriki (where the road proper begins) is Hiruharama, the Maori version of Jerusalem (originally a larger village known as Patiarero). In the later 1800's missionaries, particularly Roman Catholics, were very active in this area, and here the Frenchwoman Mother Aubert founded a school, orphanage and farm. This church was built in the 1890s, and is noted for its altar.
Jerusalem has another claim to fame. NZ's arguably greatest Pakeha poet is James K Baxter. He founded a commune here in the 1970's, and about 200 people congregated here. The poet was a fervent Roman Catholic, but also a great believer in free love and is believed to have fathered quite a few. He died in 1972 and the commune disbanded; his grave is in the village.
|Places and people
We spent two pleasant nights in the DOC site on the Mangawhero River, a couple of miles up the slope from Ohakune. There were lots of morepork (NZ owls) in the woods, giving their distinctive cry all through the night. On Wednesday we drove to the top of the road, which is the base for the To Turoa ski-field. It's not that big; the western fields above Whakapapa are much larger, but these are popular too. At this time of year, they are pretty much deserted, with lots of work being done as Autumn begins to draw in.
This is the view from just below the ski fields, looking South towards the central area of the North Island. It makes it look deceptively flat, but actually there seems to be nowhere in NZ from which you cannot see mountains. It's just that we're so high up, above the trees.
|Places and people
Ohakune is the self-proclaimed carrot capital of NZ, and Pip had been excitedly waiting to revisit this monumental statement of the vegetable's importance.
The first market gardens in the area were established by several Chinese families back in 1925, helped by the railway, a late growing season, inexpensive land and a cold winter. (It's over 500m up, on the slopes of Ruapehu.) Much of the land was cleared by hand and explosives (the first bulldozer didn't get here until 1937) and the food was needed to feed troops. After the war, land was converted to rehabilitation farms for returning soldiers, but now the farms have been consolidated into less than a dozen large holdings. Although there is diversification, the carrot is still the most important crop.
|Places and people
On Tuesday we drove South, probably our second longest single day (Christchurch/Nelson was longer), and our longest single motorway haul. We arrived at Ohakune in time to see this glorious sunset over the isolated volcano of Taranaki, which is over 100km away. Back on the Central Plateau, this time on the slopes of Mt Ruapehu.
|Places and people
Last night we went to Auckland's Aotea Centre to see the full performance of Green Fire Islands, the Maori/Celtic musical collaboration we had watched at WOMAD.
Wow! Fantastic and inspiring
The picture is the best of a bad lot from WOMAD; we were too far from the stage, and, crucially, all the musicians are moving around a lot. The project brings together top level traditional musicians from Eirann/Ireland and Aoteoroa/NZ to explore the sounds, music, songs and traditions of the two cultures. The 'story' is one of creation, fall from grace, conflict, lament and rebirth, and is a complex conversation of music, dance and poetry. There are rapid whirligigs, stately taiaha, amazing poi. Richard Nunns and others played Maori instruments that reflect and invigorate the sound of water, birds, the wind and echoed the haunting voice of Whirimako Black. The astonishing Nollaig Casey was a virtuoso on the fiddle. Donal Lunny, the Irish musician who directed the project (and was also behind the great Afro-Celt Sound System) was fantastic, and obviously completely blissed out by the success of the collaboration.
Yesterday being St Patrick's and the last night of the tour, some additional musicians joined in after the end of the performance proper: Anika Moa, King Capeesi (a Samoan rapper) and most famous (though musically least interesting!) Tim and Neil Finn. Definitely a Kiwi cream of the crop evening, and their participation showed the impact of this project on NZ musicians.
They promise a film, and hopefully a CD, which we can't wait for. Definitely one of the peak experiences of our trip. To find out more, see www.greenfireislands.com
|Places and people
The northward route comes to a halt at the Waikato river. We turned into Port Waikato, at the river mouth. This small settlement is a somewhat sad mixture of extravagant Aucklander second homes, and rather run-down smaller properties.
There is a truly spectacular beach, beloved of surfers. (This whole coast is dude heaven, especially Raglan which has a world-famous 'left hand break'. We think this describes the way the waves curl, but we're only guessing.)
The sun sets, as you can see, directly ahead. We sat on a bench, eating our dinner (lovely local mince cooked by Pip) and watching the show. Then we drove off looking a for a good spot. We weren't very successful, and ended up driving halfway across New Zealand to our previous spot at Miranda Beach. It took less than two hours though, and we were in bed by half past ten.
|Places and people
The road from Kawhia heads up towards Raglan. We didn't go into the town itself but turned right and left across the main road that connects to Hamilton. The back roads twist through a series of tiny places with long names, up and down over the curving whale-backs of limestone. The stations are huge, with sheep and goats scattered across the thin grass, but there are marae in each fold in the hills.
The small village of Limestone Downs sits on a great escarpment; looking south there is a great weald, a flat valley running down to the Tasman. North, the land is crumpled and folded. Rocks and bluffs loom alongside the road, sculpted by the wind and rain into shadowy faces that sneer at the passer-by. In places, huge overhangs have formed into eyebrows, or yawning mouths. This is one small segment of an escarpment maybe a mile long, a site where Peter Jackson came to film some segment of the Lord of the Rings.
|Places and people
Kawhia had no power; fortunately we could buy some very fresh flounder from a local fishing vessel, which we fried up and ate for lunch in the park. As you can see, there are yachts on bouys here, but unsurprisingly there are many warnings posted about the sand bars.
The harbour here is huge, a many lobed inland sea. The entrance, however, is tiny, and Cook missed it completely. Many generations before, the Polynesians arriving on the canoe Tainui had found it. The chief and tohunga refused to land elsewhere, believing in a vision of their landing on this coast; they cruised up and down until they recognised the entry and came through to claim the area. The canoe is supposed to be buried in the hills above the town, behind the marae.
|Places and people
We retraced our steps to Ta Anga and turned inland. This is also a rather splendid main road, with fantastic views across to Ruapehu and Tongariro. We turned off on to the unsealed Hauturuturu (haw-tru) road, which twists 35km through the hills. And they are fantastic hills, filled with limestone outcrops, and secret streams meandering through valleys.
Most of this road we didn't see another soul. Until we crossed the path of the Kawhia safari, a two-day four-wheel drive club event. Fortunately, they stopped off at Te Koraha a tiny hamlet on the road and we were alone again.

Aug 02
Mooresville, NC (08/02/2010) – Germain Racing's rookie driver, Zach Germain, put in hours and hours of preparation before heading to Lee USA Speedway. It showed. Germain had the No. 24 Germain.com Camry in very competitive form at the New Hampshire short track where he turned in his best qualifying effort to date and spent many of the 125 laps of Friday night's race dicing it up among the top-ten race cars and picked up a spot in the series points standings when the checkered flag waved.
"I have to say that Lee USA Speedway was a pretty good combination of the two tracks we used for testing. The banking was similar to Hickory, but the shape was a little more Caraway. I was prepared for the worst as far as grip, and it was good because I felt like the track had more grip than I expected it to," said Germain who moved up to 14th in the K&N Pro Series East standings following his 17th-place finish at Lee.
When one thinks of a 3/8-mile short track, beating and banging are much more top of mind than finesse and accuracy. Germain learned that he actually was going to have to have a perfect blend of all of these at Lee.
"The track was the most line-sensitive track I've raced yet. Even more so than the road course. And while you're trying to focus on the line, there are cars running into the back of you, the side of you, you are running into cars ahead of you. It was intense. We've raced short tracks this year, but, I think Lee was the most exciting race this year," said Germain, who wished the team could've finished in the top-ten, where he had spent much of the 125 laps racing.
Qualifying was a big victory for Germain and the No. 24 Germain.com Camry. With a previous best in qualifying coming at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, the Columbus, OH, native posted a 12-place time in qualifying which was 3/10s off of the pole speed.
"What I'm learning is that qualifying is about who has the most confidence, and at Lee, I felt a lot more confident. I think I made a lot of progress, overall. My car control is better and I'm feeling more confident in the car. We tried to put the car on the edge and we got 12th. We have room for more improvement, of course, but as a team we are definitely moving in the right direction," said Germain.
Germain's biggest fans, mom, Kim, and dad, Steve, agreed Lee was a huge transformation for their son.
"My mom and dad actually watched the race from the grandstands at Lee. My mom sent me a ton of text messages afterward telling me how excited she was – that she was screaming 'go Zach go' and that it was really fun for her watching how are team performed at Lee," said Germain.
Watch the Lee USA Speedway action on Thursday, August 5th, on SPEED at 6:00 PM Eastern.
Germain Racing is a championship-winning organization competing in all three of NASCAR's national series. The team adds the K&N Pro Series East No. 24 Germain.com Camry to its lineup this year, and may add K&N Pro Series West and late model races. Sponsorship and branding opportunities are available. Visit GermainRacing.com for more information.

Uniondale, NY (Sports Network) - The New York Islanders' first home playoff
win in 11 years couldn't have come at a better time. John Tavares scored the
go-ahead goal midway through the third period to lift the hosts over the
Pittsburgh Penguins, 6-4, in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference
quarterfinal series. Not only did the Islanders tie this series at 2-2, but
they posted their first playoff win at Nassau Coliseum since a 5-3 victory
over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference
quarterfinals on April 28, 2002. In the process, New York snapped a seven-game
home playoff losing streak. Mark Streit had two goals and an assist for the
Islanders, who bounced back from a 5-4 overtime loss in Sunday's Game 3.
Casey Cizikas added a goal and two assists, while Kyle Okposo and Brian Strait
had one goal apiece. Evgeni Nabokov made 27 saves for the victors. Evgeni
Malkin had a goal and an assist for the Penguins, who will host Game 5
on Thursday. James Neal, Brandon Sutter and Pascal Dupuis also lit the lamp.
Marc-Andre Fleury showed signs of struggling as he did in last year's playoff
loss to Philadelphia, stopping only 18-of-24 shots in defeat.
Final Score: Ottawa 3, Montreal 2 (OT)
Ottawa, ON (Sports Network) - Cory Conacher scored the tying goal late in
regulation and Kyle Turris won it at 2:32 of overtime, as the Ottawa Senators
claimed a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens in Game 4 of this Eastern
Conference quarterfinal. Turris was harassed by a Canadiens defender in the
left circle, but the Sens forward escaped long enough to send a wrister
to the Habs' net, which deflected off the elbow of defenseman Raphael
Diaz and caromed past Peter Budaj -- who began the extra session in place of
the injured Carey Price -- to end the contest. Mika Zibanejad also tallied for
the Senators, who took a commanding 3-1 series edge with Game 5 set to return
to Montreal on Thursday. Craig Anderson stopped 26 shots for Ottawa, which
can advance to the second round for the first time since 2007 with one more
victory. PK Subban and Alex Galchenyuk lit the lamp early in the second
period for the Canadiens. Price ended up with 30 saves, but Budaj was saddled
with the loss.

The Wolverine CinemaCon Footage Features Leaping Ninjas And A Silver Samurai
By Nick Venable 2014-03-10 16:53:04 comments
Go ahead and watch the above video, which features the "exclusive CinemaCon footage" from James Mangolds upcoming superhero flick The Wolverine Snikt! Snikt! and see if you agree with me that it should have been subtitled "Its Going Down!" A good chunk of the 40-45 seconds of actual footage shown that features someone falling, someone jumping off of something, or just objects moving in a downward motion. Claws are released, ninjas leap from buildings, bodies are thrown around, someone jumps over a car, camera movements go downward, and we even get a shot of sunglasses slowly being taken off. For a movie that features an exceedingly over-the-top fight on top of a speeding train, theres a lot of vertical going on here.
Its an underwhelming piece of a trailer, and Im sure the Japanese version would be better, like the trailer. But for all that this feels like a montage, it is a montage that features the reflective badassery that is Silver Samurai (Will Yun Lee) and the sultry villainess that is Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova).
Theres no denying that this still looks worlds more engaging than the mess that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but it lacks all cohesiveness and doesnt really clue anyone into the films storyline. They should have just showed a piece of a battle scene.
Based on one of Wolverines most exciting arcs, the 1982 limited series from Frank Miller and Chris Claremont, The Wolverine will follow Logan into Japan, where he his past and future combine to change his life forever. Youll get a better feel for that by watching the Japanese trailer below, and youll get the full story when the film hits theaters on July 26, 2013.

Make your own Ocean In a Box Sensory Box.
* Update: We made all of the sensory boxes list above and they're so much fun!*
To see our complete list of sensory boxes,
check out my Sensory Box 101 Post!
Who says homemade gifts aren't fun?!
I think that is really cute! I was thinking, "I'm totally gonna do that." Then I realized that my two year-old would throw that gravel everywhere. I think I might have to wait a bit. But I love how yours turned out!
I love this project. We'll have to try it this coming winter (your polar bear idea).
Jessica a.k.a. Green Mamma
that is really creative! Very good hands on!
What an awesome idea! I found your blog on Today's Creative Blog by the way..
I'm making this for my 4yr old daughter this weekend! Thanks!
What a great idea. One of our school suppilers is selling a large version of this (professionally made of course) for hundreds of dollars......I think yours is way better. We are about to take a look at Rock Pools shortly, I am off to empty one of under bed storage boxes now!
I came to you looking for just this kind of thing. I rememberd your farm and thought perhaps you had an oceany version. :) We're studing the oceans, currents, etc in school this week and I think my boys will love this! Thank you!!
Love the idea of the gravel, instead of rice. I'm thinking it might be less messy.
By the way, here are the pictures of our fishy party, which was partly insprired by your great party.
Thanks for dropping by my blog. :)
I ran across this post recently and ran with it! I love the idea and I think I will be adding more to it. Come and check out what I added to mine.
Thanks for the idea!
We have the same "ocean in a box"! It started out a home for our 2 hermit crabs (with real shells and natural things), but now it looks just like this one with all the sea toys. Funny.
This is too funny... I just added one of those little sandboxes to my Amazon wish list for my daughter. AND, while looking for ocean-themed sensory bin ideas for homeschooling my kiddos, I came across your post! Guess I'll be making my own. :)

Three Cups of Tea Author's Death, Suicide
David Oliver Relin, 49, who co-authored the best-selling book Three Cups of Tea with Greg Mortenson, committed suicide on November 15 in Multnomah County, Oregon. Cause of death was originally withheld but has been confirmed as suicide. Relin was reportedly depressed by criticism that Three Cups of Tea, a book about private efforts to build schools for girls in Central Asia, was grossly fabricated. That claim was made by author Jon Krakauer in a 60 Minutes segment that aired in 2011, and, soon after, in his the Byliner book Three Cups of Deceit.
Krakauer's allegations prompted several lawsuits by people who had purchased the book, claiming they had been defrauded. The cases were combined and ultimately dismissed in a Montana court, where it is pending appeal.

|Overviews highlighted on 2 school grant apps
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Application statuses for two grants were reviewed at the Feb. 25 meeting of Holyoke School District Re-1J Board of Education.
The meeting had been postponed from the regular date of Feb. 19.
Superintendent Bret Miles said the BEST grant application deadline is March 1. The Great Outdoors Colorado grant application for the all-weather track is due March 6, with Phillips County as the grantee for the GOCO application.
The Building Excellent Schools Today application for the Holyoke district will be a variation on one submitted two years ago when funds were awarded for the boiler/electrical/roofing/fire alarm project.
The new BEST application is a rewrite of the security grant that was not funded in 2011. It proposes remodeling the main office at each building for security purposes, including a roll-top counter and more restrictive door access.
Notification for BEST grant awards will be made in late June.
Miles said revisions were made on the GOCO grant application narrative and a second attempt was turned in. The district's grant writer will be in the district Friday to help fine-tune the application.
A couple of positive highlights were mentioned by Miles since the board discussion on the GOCO grant at its Feb. 5 meeting.
Phillips County Recreation District has given money to the project to add exercise stations around the track.
Additionally, the Jack Pettys Foundation, associated with First Pioneer National Bank, pledged a $100,000 donation, contingent on a successful GOCO grant award. The pledge will be payable at $25,000 a year for four years.
Preliminary notification on the GOCO grant is expected in mid-May, with official awards to be announced June 11.
Policy changes introduced
Three policy changes were proposed by Miles. They will be further discussed March 5, with first reading scheduled for the March 19 board meeting.
The first change involves the addition of Presidents Day to the paid holiday list for 12-month-basis classified personnel.
The second relates to wording changes on the regulation for part-time and substitute professional staff salaries.
An addition to the policy on inter-district choice/open enrollment is the last proposed change. A statement is proposed to be added that notes the school district is not required to enroll any nonresident student after the pupil enrollment count day.
Other business
In other business at the Feb. 25 meeting, the Re-1J board:
—approved two-year contracts for JR/SR High Principal Susan Ortner and Elementary School Principal Kyle Stumpf. Several board members commented on the positive role the principals are playing in the district's vision and goals.
—acknowledged a donation from Melissa Memorial Hospital of an exercise trampoline and medicine ball set for the weight room.
—approved the budget timeline which was introduced at the Feb. 5 meeting.
—accepted the resignation of Brittany Daniel, one-on-one paraprofessional at the elementary school, effective Feb. 20; and hired Dottie Drake for the position.
—heard comments from Miles and board members Dennis Herman, Kris Camblin and Jon King, who attended the Colorado Association of School Boards legislative meetings recently. They noted the main focus was school finance.

Wrinkles on the neck and décolleté can make an individual appear prematurely aged. The skin on the neck and décolleté is exposed to the sun and environmental pollution in the same way as facial skin. However, this vital area is often neglected, with the application of sunscreens and moisturizers ending at the jawline. As a result, wrinkles can form on the neck and décolleté before they form on any other area of the body. Lierac Paris Neck Firming products tackle slackening and sagging of the skin on the neck. Fine lines and wrinkles on the décolleté and neck are diminished by Lierac Paris Neck Firming treatments.
For over 35 years, Lierac Laboratories have been committed to addressing skin care and beauty concerns using natural, botanical ingredients. Combining plant extracts with cutting edge beauty technology, Lierac Paris Neck Firming treatments support the thin skin on the neck and décolleté. These highly-effective formulations have been scientifically tested to ensure that they deliver sustainable improvement to this vulnerable area. When Lierac Paris Neck Firming treatments lift and firm the skin, the neck and décolleté appear more youthful and smoother to the touch.
Formulated with natural botanicals, Lierac Paris Neck Firming products contain potent ingredients that work with the skin's own regenerative processes to deliver firmer, smoother skin. These potent treatments permeate the lower layers of the skin to deliver maximum benefit. When these formulations penetrate the epidermis, the skin's subcutaneous matrix is strengthened, enabling it to better support the outer surface of the skin. With regular use, sagging and wrinkled skin on the neck and décolleté is tightened and firmed. Every Lierac product has been scientifically-tested to ensure that it meets up to its claims. As a result, you can be confident that these formulas will provide an improved neck and décolleté area, leading to a more youthful appearance.
Using upward sweeping motions, apply Lierac Paris Coherence Neck Firmer to the skin on the neck and décolleté every morning and evening. A unique combination of ingredients immediately gets to work on your skin. ASC III collagen accelerators stimulate the body's own process for producing collagen. The synthesis of collagen production takes place in the fibroblast cells, simulating the body's natural healing process and strengthening the connective tissue. Wheat proteins smoothe and retexture the skin. Skin elasticity is increased and the depth of wrinkles is lessened. Hyaluronic acid assists the skin to retain moisture, balancing hydration and increasing suppleness. With regular applications of this sumptuous product, skin becomes firmer and smoother. As a consequence, the neck and décolleté look younger and more vibrant. This natural product is suitable for all skin types.

May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Census data shows Asians are now the fastest growing racial group in the U.S. Locally, both Fairfax and Montgomery Counties saw near 15% increases in the Asian American population in the last decade. Based on state planning info, the largest demographics within the region are Chinese, Indian and Korean (in that order). We asked representatives in our newsroom to talk about taking pride in their identities.
Monika Samtani (Traffic):
The best of both worlds..that's how I look at my life. I am a first generation Indian-American. When I look at my family's history, I am amazed at how far we have come. My dad was young when he fled from his home in Burma during World War II in 1942. My mom grew up in a poor family in Delhi. When they married, my parents settled in Michigan, where there was no Indian community, and the weather opposite to the warm climate they were used to back home. They had me less than a year later...must've been those cold nights...
Through extremely hard work, my parents now lead successful lives here in D.C. Through it all, they've integrated our family to the American way, yet our Indian roots and culture are still an integral part of our lives.
I am lucky to represent my community as a Broadcast Journalist. In the early '90's, I became one of the first South Asian women to breakthrough in a major U.S. television and radio market here in DC (everyone else was a doctor or engineer!). I now have the honor and privilege of mentoring young South Asian American journalists, emceeing many community events, and supporting professional minority women through my organization 'Launch Network.'
I'm proud of being an American, and equally proud of my heritage and history. I now teach my own family to merge their wonderful diverse worlds into one.
. . .
Surae Chinn (Reporter):
It's a privilege to represent the Asian American community as a broadcast journalist, and what an exciting time to celebrate our heritage in the Washington, DC region.
I remember when my family first moved to Northern Virginia in the late 80's, I was one of only two Asian Americans in my entire grade and look at how far we've come. We are one of the fastest growing minorities in the region.
Asian Americans have also made huge strides in public office in the last two decades, such as electing the first Asian governor in the Continental U.S. with Gary Locke, along with elected officials in Congress, and appointments to the Legislative Branch.
I'm very proud of my Chinese heritage. My grandfather was a World War II pilot who flew the famous Hump route, which was critical in supplying the allies in the Asian theater.
My family history is something my one-year-old son will learn. We are also teaching him Chinese. In our family, we feel it's important to carry on our traditions and culture for the next generation.
It's been a pleasure being invited to emcee numerous Asian events in the community, such as the Asian Chamber of Commerce Gala... two years in a row. You can check out my blog that highlights Asian events in the community.
Ko Im (Reporter):
I am Asian Pacific American -- more specifically, Korean Guamanian American.
I grew up in a place resembling a melting pot. As a 1.5 generation immigrant, I emigrated to the U.S. territory of Guam. And so ensued learning English as a second language, going to Korean school every Saturday and embracing the native culture of the island. Sometimes there would be clashes with my parents i.e. no sleepovers, going to mass. Other times there would be interesting combinations/results i.e. pizza paired with kimchee, spam musubi (inspired by sushi).
My father, who looks Filipino and also speaks Japanese, still embodies the spirit of the immigrant work ethic. He encouraged me to study hard and it paid off. I was the first to turn the tassel at an American university and as they boasted, Ivy League at that. And what an experience at Penn, where I truly learned to appreciate my heritage through a college leadership diversity program. By understanding the history of the APA past, I am able to help build an APA future.
When I fill out paperwork, I am proud to check the box that says Asian, or Korean. But deep down, I carry more than just one description.
Over the years several "truths" have been cemented in my beliefs -- that multiple identities can co-exist, the American Dream is achievable, and diversity is as beautiful as the stars and stripes that fly around our country everyday.
Elizabeth Jia (Multimedia):
I am so honored to be living in a time when there is someone of my same heritage serving in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) is the first Chinese American woman in Congress. Rep. Chu has been instrumental in addressing Asian American civil rights issues. In the current 112th Congress, Rep. Chu and Senator Scott Brown (R-Mass.) co-sponsored legislation that successfully resulted in a formal apology from Congress for the Chinese Exclusion Laws. From 1882 there were a set of laws restricting the immigration of Chinese workers to the U.S. Rep. Chu continues her positive work. She will co-chair the new American Sikh Congressional Caucus to address hate crimes related to Sikhs.
Ms. Chu and other distinguished Asian-American men and women have been woven into the fabric of American democracy. They serve not only their constituents, but they also serve as a symbol of inspiration.
You can watch short videos of Asian American lawmakers past and present. These clips are in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
Aisha Chowdhry (Online):
I was born and raised in Lahore, Pakistan. I consider the U.S. my home since I moved here permanently but my South Asian culture will always be a part of me.
Pakistan is a country that has been under the spotlight for terrorism, violence and corruption for many years now. Though that is a part of the country which we cannot ignore, there are other things that I always like to remember it for -- like the delicious food, the beautiful jewelry and clothing, and the breathtaking historical structures that still stand in the country. I have been working as a reporter since 2009. My assignments have taken me back to Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan where I was embedded with the U.S. military and had the chance to travel through Eastern Afghanistan. Both countries have helped me grow as a journalist, whether it was reporting on major blasphemy cases or interviewing the third most wanted terrorist, to being able to speak to the first female Provincial Governor of Afghanistan. The countries have provided me a platform to report on the issues that are important not just to South Asia but ones which also have a global significance.
Share your story with us. We'd love to hear from you.

The Turbo Cam ShootoutWritten by on August 8, 2012 Learn something new every day about the world of turbos
We've been toying with turbos and turbo cams for a few years now, and the more we think we know, the more we discover how much more there is to discover. Last year, we ran a theoretical piece on camshafts and their effect on horsepower ("The Truth About Camshafts and Turbochargers," June '11) and came away with a gem from noted engine builder Kenny Duttweiler: He told us to treat a properly sized, high-efficiency turbo motor like a naturally aspirated engine. In terms of turbo cam selection, this translates to choosing one based on engine size, head flow, and desired powerband.
To test the sage's advice, we set up a series of experiments using a 420-inch small-block and a pair of 76mm twin turbo. This built-for-boost stroker combination is none other than the Two-Headed Animal we built in the Aug. '11 issue ("Building the Two-Headed Animal"). It features a Dart block, K1 crank and rods, and JE forged slugs. Topping the beast was a set of CNC-ported 233 Brodix heads and a matching single-plane intake. We also installed a Jesel shaft-rocker system, a Milodon pan and oil pump, and a Holley 950 Ultra HP carburetor. The idea was to compare three different cam profiles on the twin turbo stroker, ranging from mild to wild, then perform the same test after adding the turbo system. Simple enough, right?
Comp Cams provided three custom single-pattern hydraulic roller cam, wherein the intake and exhaust lobes shared the same lift and duration figures. The first (mild) turbo cam offered 0.578 lift, 210 degrees of duration at 0.050 and a 112-degree lobe-separation angle (LSA). Turbo Cam number two stepped things up to 0.594 lift, 230 degrees of duration and 113 LSA, while the wildest cam (turbo cam number 3) provided 0.605 lift, 248 degrees of duration and a wider 114-degree LSA. Though the lift differed by just 0.027, the significant change in duration would shift the power production much higher in the rev range, especially when combined with our free-flowing heads and single-plane intake.
First up was cam number one. The mildest grind of the bunch illustrated what happens when you under-cam a normally aspirated twin turbo stroker motor. The minimal duration produced peak power at just 5,300 rpm, offering peak numbers of 467 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm. Torque production exceeded 475 lb-ft from 3,500 rpm to 5,100 rpm, making for a healthy but rather narrow 1,000-rpm powerband (peak torque to peak horsepower) from this 8.5:1 compression engine.
Cam number two was next, and the increased duration both upped the power and increased the effective engine speed. The peak power output of 508 hp came at 5,800 rpm (an increase of 500 rpm from the small cam), while the peak torque of 505 lb-ft came at 4,700 rpm (up by 300 rpm), but the powerband remained the same around 1,000 rpm. The torque curve (exceeding 475 lb-ft) increased in size from 3,800 rpm to 5,500 rpm, an effective shift of 300 to 400 rpm more than the smaller cam.
This trend continued with the wildest of the three cams, which produced 534 hp at 6,200 rpm and a slightly lower 501 lb-ft at 4,800 rpm. This cam had the widest 1,400-rpm powerband (which is still somewhat narrow), but it lost 4 lb-ft of torque while shifting peak horsepower by 400 rpm while peak torque rpm remained constant. As is typically the case with cam swaps, eventually peak torque is unchanged (or lowered slightly) and the horsepower gains at higher engine speeds are accompanied by losses lower in the rev range. Basically, you are trading low-speed torque for top-end power. The intended application should dictate the best possible power curve, but for most street applications, low- and mid-range torque make a car much more fun to drive than one with an engine built for peak power.
After running through our three cams in naturally aspirated trim, we performed the same test with some boost. The turbos, the intercooler, and majority of the plumbing (aluminum and steel tubing, couplers, clamps, and hardware) were supplied by CX Racing (CXRacing.com). Having run them successfully a number of times in the past, we selected a pair of 76mm turbos and combined them with a dual-core, air-to-water intercooler. Given the low boost level employed during testing, the intercooler was probably not necessary (especially on the blow-through carb application that further cools the intake charge), but cooler air is always better. We fed the turbos with a pair of shorty headers run upside down, mounting the turbos with V-band clamps and T4 turbo flanges. Completing the homemade turbo "kit" were a pair of 45mm Hypergate wastegates, a Race Port blow-off valve, and a manual waste-gate controller, all supplied by Turbo Smart. The turbo combination also necessitated the switch to a Holley carburetor modified for boost by Carburetor Solutions Unlimited (CSU) and a dedicated, blow-through carb bonnet.
With our twin-turbo small-block up and running, it was time for more cam testing. First up was the mildest cam, which produced 657 hp at 5,400 rpm and 677 lb-ft of torque at 4,600 rpm. Adding just 5.9 psi of boost increased the power output of the small-block by 190 hp and 182 lb-ft of torque. The torque curve was impressive, bettering 650 lb-ft from 3,700 rpm to 5,200 rpm, and the powerband ranged from 4,600 to 5,900 for a 1,300-rpm spread (wider than the naturally aspirated curve by 300 rpm). Despite the oversized turbos (capable of exceeding 1,500 hp), we had full boost available at 3,000 rpm, though the engine dyno does subject the motor to an artificial load not replicated on the street or strip.
Cam number two increased the power output substantially, with a jump to 713 hp at 6,200 rpm and 690 lb-ft at 4,800 rpm. Note that similar to the NA testing, the peak numbers were up, but so was the engine speed at which they occurred. The same 5.9 psi improved the power output of the NA combination by 205 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque. True to form, the medium cam shifted the effective torque curve, bettering 650 lb-ft from 4,100 rpm to 5,700 rpm (a change of 400 to 500 rpm over the smaller cam). This produced a powerband of 1,400 rpm, a full 100 rpm broader than the small cam curve and 400 rpm more than the naturally aspirated curve. So far, the cam swaps on the turbo motor were mirroring the gains experienced on the NA combination.
The final cam to be tested was the wildest of the three, but the gains achieved on the naturally aspirated motor did not translate to the turbo combination. Running the same boost level as the previous two cams, the turbo combination produced 720 hp at 6,500 rpm and 665 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm. The peak power was up slightly over the smaller cam but was nowhere near the extra 26 hp offered in NA trim. In fact, the turbo motor's power output was down compared with the middle cam. It seems this cam was a tad on the wild side for our turbo application, so unlike the naturally aspirated stroker, bigger was actually not better. Comparing the big cam torque with the small cam at 3,600 rpm (typical converter stall speed), the longer-duration cam lost 87 lb-ft and 59 hp.
Having a turbo stroker on the dyno (even with a less-than-ideal cam) and running just 5.9 psi made us hungry for more boost. Not wanting to hurt The Animal, we cranked up the boost just a smidge to about 9 psi. Even those few extra pounds of boost had a significant impact on power, allowing the twin-turbo 420 to belt out 862 hp and 816 lb-ft of torque. With a couple more turns of the wastegate controller, this becomes an easy 1,000hp small-block.
In Theory
In naturally aspirated trim, increasing the lift and duration had a positive and predictable effect on the power curve of the stroker small-block. With each successive increase in lift and, more important, in duration, the peak power output increased from 467 hp to 508 hp to 534 hp. The single-pattern cams were likely not ideally suited to the naturally aspirated application, but the changes show a general trend toward increased power and engine speed. Note that the peak power outputs of each combination occurred progressively higher, starting with 5,300 rpm for the mild cam, edging up past 5,800 rpm, and then 6,300 rpm for the larger two. The torque peaks revealed the same trend, increasing from 4,400 rpm with the small cam to 4,800 rpm with the largest cam. This trend continued with the first two cams once we installed the turbos from CX Racing, but the turbocharged motor did not respond favorably to the wildest cam profile. The peak power output was up by just 7 hp (compared with a gain of 26 hp naturally aspirated), and the larger cam lost power to the smaller grind from 3,200 rpm to 6,100 rpm. For our turbo application, the second cam was the hot setup.
We spoke to Matt Maxwell and Billy Godbold at Comp Cams to get their thoughts about what was happening. "I think this will demonstrate what we generally expect with turbo applications," says Godbold. "In general, the high air density allows a drastic increase in the mass flow [power], but the flow velocity is lower (imagine lots of closely spaced atoms moving slower compared with wide-spaced atoms moving faster) Balanced turbo applications almost act like N/A except with heads [that have] tremendous flow (imagine a 350-cfm intake head becoming 700 cfm ). The rule of thumb has always been the more air the head flows, the smaller cam you need. In turbo applications, the backpressure is very important. If the backpressure is more than 5 to 10 pounds above the boost, then you can have drastic backflow during overlap. In such cases, the cams have to have reduced overlap when compared with N/A applications. In this case, I am not sure if the cams were just too big or if the backpressure resulted in severe backflow. The measured backpressure and exhaust residue is what you need to know."

Before installing the turbos, we decided to test all three of our cams naturally aspirated. The 420-inch test mule was installed on the dyno using a set of 1-3/4-inch dyno headers.After the first run, we pulled the BHJ damper to allow access to the three-piece front cover from Comp Cams. This part eliminates the need to drop the oil pan, making cam swaps easier.This cam button was used to properly locate each retro-fit hydraulic roller cam and stop it from working its way forward.Cover removal provided access to the timing chain. Torx bolts were used to secure the timing gear and cam button to the cam.The multi-index sprocket allowed us to advance or retard the cam, but it remained in the straight-up position for each cam. Note that the marks on the upper and lower sprockets are lined up, but don't confuse the inner 0 point at the keyway.The Animal is capable of 7,000-plus-rpm, thanks in part to the Comp Cams short-throw hydraulic lifters. The theory goes that the shorter column of oil in the lifter allows for greater spring pressure and more rpm than a standard hydraulic lifter.The cam swap required removal of the Jesel rockers and hardened pushrods. Note the use of lash caps on top of the valves to optimize valvetrain geometry.
The hot side of each 76mm turbo featured a .96 A/R and 3-inch V-band exhaust flange. In truth, the pair of 76mm turbos was overkill at the boost level selected for our test, but the Animal was built boost-ready and capable of withstanding 20-plus psi.The homemade turbo "kit" consisted of a set of shorty headers flipped upside down feeding short adapter pipes. The pipes featured V-band and T4 turbo flanges to connect to the header and mount the turbo. The adapter tubes also featured wastegate flanges to mount the pair of 45mm Hypergate wastegates from Turbo Smart.Turbo Smart also supplied a high-flow Race Port blow-off valve. This valve was designed to eliminate compressor surge that occurs when shutting the throttle abruptly at full boost. Instead of the pressure wave slamming against the closed throttle blade, reversing out and possibly damaging the turbo, it can escape out the open valve.Rather than go the fuel-injected route, we opted to install this dedicated, blow-through carburetor from Carburetor Solutions Unlimited. With circuitry designed specifically for boosted applications, the modified 850 Holley performed flawlessly during testing.CSU also supplied this carb bonnet to channel air directly from the turbos to the carburetor. We have run into problems on other blow-through bonnets associated with the orientation of the bonnet relative to the carburetor, but this CSU combination worked perfectly.

If you use stick deodorant, how many swipes do you use under each arm? I use six. Am just tossing money in the pits?
Gel = 1
Regular = 2 or 3
Spray = 1
None = 0
You get more use out of gel or spray.

3 per arm. Up > down > up.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
left - 1, 2. right - 1,2. gotta be even numbers to satisfy my ocd, so it could go 4 each.
I think 4 or 5... but I never think about it, so don't know.

Spray? Are you a 60 year old man wearing just a towel in a gym locker room?
I think I probably use 3 swipes, I might kick it up to 4 if I'm feeling saucy though.
Behold the majesty of the off-topic board!
What constitutes a swipe? One direction or a full "out and back" loop?

One direction, obviously.
2 swipes, top to bottom both swipes
Any more than that it feels like my armpit hair will braid itself when I move my arms.
Also, heard if your back sweats really bad. i.e. during an interview when you have a dress shirt on. Run a line of anti-perisipant (sp.) down the middle of your back...also same if you have really sweaty feet, just run some on your feet. Hear it works
5 short swipes, top to bottom, and the stick has to have antiperspirant in it. I sweat a lot, and anything less and I'm flat out uncomfortable the rest of the day.

How did this happen? And why?
I say "exploded," but it's obvious that this skull has not been blown to smithereens. Rather, it has been carefully disarticulated and spread asunder, its constituent parts mounted in such a way that they maintain their relative positions in space, even if they are not actually touching. Like an "exploded" view of an F1 engine injector or the chassis of a Boeing B-17, an exploded skull is a puzzle, loosely fitted – one that allows the viewer to consider the part, the whole, and their functional relationships all at once.
And yet, two things set this skull apart from the technical diagrams in your car's user manual. The first is that a skull is biological. The Earth is, in many ways, a machine, and so are its organisms, but we rarely think of them in this way. To gaze upon an exploded skull, then, is to confront our mechanical essence, to ruminate on those philosophies from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that first sought to understand nature in mechanistic terms.
The second is its tangibility. Since its origination during the Renaissance, the exploded view has been for the most part a graphic technique, existing only on the page. Disarticulated anatomies created from actual, physical specimens, like the assorted animal skull pictured above, helped amplify the the spatial and conceptual aspects of component illustrations by bringing them into the real, three-dimensional world. [Image Credit: Foley Gallery, New York, NY, via Spinner et al.]
It is this second consideration that separates exploded skulls — like the ones pictured above — from the illustrations of visionaries like Leonardo da Vinci, whose anatomical studies depicted disarticulated head-parts as early as the turn of the sixteenth century.
The page on the left is taken from da Vinci's iconic "Weimar Sheet"); innovative though da Vinci was, a physical analogue to his drawings would not exist until hundreds of years later, when a French anatomist and surgeon by the name of Beauchêne brought the disarticulated technique into being. (This is why exploded cranial specimens are commonly referred to as "Beauchêne Skulls.")
There's some interesting history regarding the origin of Beauchêne skulls. For years, the exploded skull technique has been widely misattributed to one Claude Beauchêne, an imaginary anatomist in Paris in the 1850s. Alternatively, it has been misattributed to the famed psychologist and physician Edmé Pierre Chauvot de Beauchêne, who lived between 1749 and 1825. But in 2011, researchers from the Mayo Clinic's Department of Neurologic Surgery discovered that the widely known preparation technique takes its eponym not from either of these figures, but Edmé Francois Chauvot de Beauchêne, the largely overshadowed son of Edmé Pierre.
Lead author Robert Spinner describes the discovery in Clinical Anatomy:
Research on the genealogy of the Beauchêne family revealed that both the attribution of the technique and the timeframe were inaccurate. We could not locate a Claude Beauchêne who would fit the descriptions. Furthermore, the anatomic skull preparation would not be consistent with the intellectual talents of Edmé Pierre Chauvot de Beauchêne. We identified sources that established an earlier time for the technique (early 1800s) and a prosector named M. Beauchêne at the École de Médecine in Paris. This information unambiguously links the contribution to Edmé Francois Chauvot de Beauchêne, the son of Edmé Pierre. Both Beauchêne p`ere and Beauchêne fils made significant contributions in their respective fields and should both be recognized individually and collectively.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A dog tried to climb out of a window of a building in DC.
The incident happened on Saturday on the 2700 block of Connecticut Avenue N.W.
With no one apparently home, a passerby entered the unlocked dwelling to close the window and keep the dog inside as a number of concerned people looked on.
"I [didn't] want the dog to fall out of the window," Bill Richy said, "I closed the window and he licked me a couple of times."

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Philadelphia 76ers general manager Tony
DiLeo said Friday that Andrew Bynum has been cleared to increase activity with
his rehab plan, but there is still no timetable for his return.
Bynum, acquired by the Sixers from the Lakers in August as part of the four-
team, 12-player blockbuster trade that sent Dwight Howard from Orlando to Los
Angeles, has yet to play for Philadelphia this season due to problems with
both of his knees.
The 25-year-old Bynum, who has a history of troubles with both knees, was
diagnosed with a bone bruise of the right knee in September. It was then
reported in November that Bynum hurt his left knee while bowling.
The Sixers said in late November that Bynum would be out indefinitely, but
they were hoping for him to return in January.
"His knees are healing. He is improving," DiLeo said on Friday.
More to follow...

Want a treat that is not to eat for your favorite trick or treater? Look for this novelty book that involves more tilting than reading. On each of the pages there are several dance poses that readers are invited to replicate by tipping the book and jiggling the little chains to make their ghosts look like the ones pictured. There isn't a lot of reading here, but kids are going to have to notice the directionality and build their own patience as they try to copy the dance poses. Put it on the coffee table as a calorie-free Halloween tradition.

Truly, one of the most extraordinary pop-up books ever! In fact, pop-up is too ordinary a word to describe the artistry in each spectacular scene Robert Sabuda has designed in his Chanukah Lights. Like his Twelve Days of Christmas, here are eight distinctive locales where the flame of the shamash candle lights up the many places where Jews have lit their menorahs and celebrated the miracle of the lights-from a desert tent, a refugee ship, a tenement building, and other remarkable sites. In each location a menorah is shining through. This is one of those beautiful books that you will want to share, but stay in control of, so that it will not be destroyed. It's a treasure that is sure to bring on ooohs! and aaahs! from all ages. It is certainly more for older children than little ones, those who have begun to learn about the history of the Jews. Properly cared for it can become a traditional keepsake to be shared each night of the Festival of Lights. All Ages.

With so many people out of work this book, set in the Great Depression may well resonate with young people today. It's Christmas 1931 and Henry and his out-of-work father go to New York to sell Christmas trees to earn a little money. They have no money for heat or blankets. When they get to New York City they unload their trees on the site where Rockefeller Center is being built and the men working on the site take a liking to them. At the end of the day Henry's dad leaves a tree that the construction workers decorate; the first of the many glorious trees that will stand on that site. Before he leaves, Henry finds a pinecone near the tree and takes it home. The next day several of the workers show up at Henry's home with scrap lumber. Together they construct a small house and Henry plants the pinecone. Click forward. Henry is now an old man. He is living in the house and the little pine cone has become a giant tree. Henry ends up donating his giant tree for Rockefeller Center when he learns that the tree will be turned into wood for a needy family's Habitat for Living Home. The story of the Christmas of 1931 and the real first tree is told in the author's notes. This is one of those big beautiful holiday books with lush illustrations and heartfelt story. 6 & up.

Out in the desert a boy is learning his fathers craft of finding "tears" in the twisted trees. He is leaving how to collect these "tears" of sap that are filled with resin that can be sold in the market for medicine and soothing the skin. In this mysterious and hauntingly beautiful story set more than 2,000 years ago, the boy and his father arrive in the market as three men were searching for one special gift they would take with them to a special child. Unlike any other stories of the Magi, this one sneaks up and surprises. It is rather a darker tale than most as we learn that the Third Gift is also used for funerals to cleanse the departed and burn as a scent. The big resin tear found by the boy was also a gift to celebrate a birth--they were to become the gift of Myrrh brought with the gold and frankincense. The art work is in graceful harmony with the quiet telling of a memorable story.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA)--Practice makes perfect. Practice also makes for street closings and parking restrictions. But, practice also means a great opportunity for some picture taking!
The ceremonial swearing-in and inaugural parade are not until Monday, January 21 but first there must be the rehearsal, which will be held Sunday, January 13.
The rehearsal will include run-throughs of the swearing-in ceremonies on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol, the Presidential Review of troops on the East Front of the Capitol, and the Inaugural Parade along Pennsylvania Avenue. U.S. military personnel will play the role of the President, Vice President and their wives.
This is a great opportunity for bystanders to get an up close and personal look at the festivities. That is the good news.
With the rehearsal comes the following parking restrictions and road closures:
Parking Restrictions from 5am--1pm
Street Closings 6:15am--1pm

Right Shane.
I saw a documentary the other night on PBS about the "wolves in paradise valley" from 2006. There were some USFS rangers or animal behavior specialists (cant remember exactly) who were trying to "de-program" the "problem wolves" by using SHOCK THERAPY on the wolves by using an enclosed pen with the wolves inside, then they would introduce a cow/calf with an electronic device that would shock the wolves through a collar they wore when they got within two feet of the calf. So, the cow had an electronic device and the wolves had collars. I thought "oh great, they are going to require livestock owners to buy these devices to put on their cattle." Nope, I was way off. They are trying to re-wire the brains of these "trouble" wolves (ones preying on cattle and sheep) by TEACHING them to avoid livestock. This is NO JOKE! They think wolves can be trained like a bird dog or something, hello!!! These people are KOO KOO!!!!
How can you completely reverse the NATURAL INSTINCTS of these top predators? The only other animal who competes directly with the wolves are grizzlies and they DON'T HUNT IN PACKS like wolves. So, that makes these animals Top Predators with no real management planned and its only just begun.

I found two other threads related to this, but both were cases involving Zimbra running on a corporate network.
I've just installed Zimbra Desktop and am using it for the first time. I'm running it on a Windows XP system, and my email is retrieved via IMAP. However, I'm encountering the same problem that others encountered on a corporate network.
When created a new calendar entry, the attendees field is locked out. When hovering the mouse over the field control, a circle with a slash through it appears, and there is no way to get the cursor into the field or add attendees. I can't add them from an address book or do anything.
Zimbra Desktop is supposed to have calendar support like Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010, but this is not a good start.
I'm trying to set up a meeting urgently, and I cannot add the attendee who has requested the invitations.
Someone please help ASAP.

Ocean cargo capacity exceeds demand
August 03, 2011 - LM Editorial
Shipper demand for ocean carrier capacity has failed to match the rise in supply during a slack peak season, said industry analysts.
According the Paris-based consultancy, Alphaliner, the active (non-idle) containership capacity has risen by 10 percent over the last twelve months, but the main trade lane's modest second-quarter capacity utilization levels of below 90 percent are expected to rise only moderately in August. This comes in spite of the recent capacity withdrawals undertaken by some carriers.
In the past several weeks, shippers had told LM that the demand for ocean transportation services had been declining, leading them to believe that a "peak season" might not even arrive.
"The freight rate trends do not suggest that anyone really feels that there will be more container shortages or capacity constraints," said Peter A. Friedmann, executive director of Agriculture Ocean Transportation Coalition (AgTC).
According to Alphaliner's market survey, the capacity deployed has increased on all routes over the past twelve months. The recent capacity withdrawals on the Far East-Europe and Far East-North America routes have mostly led to the redeployment of tonnage to secondary trade routes.
"African routes have seen the largest capacity increase (+20 percent) during the twelve-month period, followed by the Transatlantic and Latin American related routes which registered capacity increases of 14 percent and 13 percent, respectively," said Alphaliner analysts.
The added that despite some capacity withdrawals, the Far East-Europe route is still under pressure from a 12 percent year-on-year increase in supply, with 430,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of vessel capacity added to the trade. The influx of new ships has increased the route capacity by 32,000 TEU per week to now 400,000 TEU per week.
The additional capacity introduced to this trade accounts for one-third of the total increase in active capacity over the period. All container vessels delivered over the last twelve months were deployed to the Far East-Europe trade, despite average utilization levels of only 84 percent in the first half of 2011, based on Alphaliner estimates.
