More than a few biotechs, and most Big Pharmas, are exploring next-generation drug candidates in one of the hottest therapeutic areas: autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and Crohn's disease. A crowded market for these large indications hasn't prevented newer drugs from receiving the regulatory green light in the U.S. and abroad, but in the short term, it's unlikely that any will unseat the towering giants in the space: Remicade, Enbrel, and Pharm Exec's Brand of the Year, Humira. These three drugs have combined sales exceeding the entire GDP of Afghanistan, and demand continues to mount, because for patients, they can mean the difference between a crippling disability and a relatively normal existence.
Johnson & Johnson/Merck's Remicade, administered by infusion, was the first anti-TNF to receive FDA approval—for acute moderate to severe Crohn's disease—while Amgen/Pfizer's Enbrel was the first to be approved for rheumatoid arthritis. Both approvals came in 1998. Abbott Laboratories' Humira didn't get approved until New Year's Eve 2002, but its product directors clearly made timely resolutions to celebrate. Abbott's bold promotional stewardship of the drug with respect to payers, patients, and evidence-driven medicine, combined with Humira's sheer clinical efficacy and success in gaining new indications where the others have not, are the reasons why Pharm Exec singled out Humira for brand leadership. Analysts are predicting that Humira's sales will surpass Lipitor's as the top-selling medicine ever, and there's a likelihood that even more indications will be added to the label. So Humira may not have been the first to market, but we think it was the best to market.Ten years after launch, Humira continues to grow. Last month, Abbott reported a global growth rate of 21.1 percent (19.3 percent in the U.S.) for Humira, with total sales at $7.9 billion ($3.4 billion in the U.S., and $4.5 billion internationally) in 2011. On the full-year 2011 earnings call, Abbott execs touted Humira's breadth of indications, strong long-term safety and outcomes data, as well as its strength in managed markets and a record of superior clinical efficacy. Responding to an analyst's question on new competitors, including the development of oral products, Abbott CEO Miles White noted that Humira "has seen competition" in the past, and has continued to succeed. The drug "continues to shine in its overall profile," he said.
Jeffrey Stewart, Abbott's vice president of U.S. proprietary pharmaceuticals, says the fundamental talents at Abbott revolve around anticipating the market, and then executing on strategy. "When you think about the three biggest indications—RA, psoriasis, and Crohn's—our indication set is the closest match to the market. RA and the rheumatological conditions remain the largest segment, but Crohn's and psoriasis are growing the fastest," says Stewart. Humira currently has six indications—RA, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's, and plaque psoriasis—and has plans for more. At JP Morgan's 30th Annual Healthcare Conference last month, Thomas Freyman, executive vice president, finance, and chief financial officer at Abbott, described Humira as a "cornerstone" of the proprietary pharma business, one he expects to provide "strong and sustainable growth" for the new pharmaceuticals division. (Abbott announced plans to split its drug and medical device products into two separate businesses, explained in further detail below.) Abbott is "evaluating Humira in a number of additional indications, which we expect to collectively generate significant incremental sales," said Freyman. Additionally, "low global penetration rates for biologics create a significant opportunity to drive longer-term sustainable growth ... we're focused on expanding the anti-TNF market, and the Humira patient base, as well as improving patient adherence," he said.
Indeed, an increased penetration of the anti-TNFs in global markets does represent an opportunity, says Barbara Ryan, managing director, Deutsche Bank Securities. "Humira is growing faster outside of the U.S.," she says. Stewart spotlights Brazil as "one of the fastest-growing areas for Humira ... It has become a very significant driver for us; the reimbursement rate is positive—the Abbott people down there are doing quite nicely with Humira," he says.
The most dramatic example of a global opportunity, according to Stewart, is in the psoriasis indication. "We're talking about penetration rates around 5 percent to 10 percent of the indicated patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis; that's not market expansion or a new indication around mild psoriasis—we're not going for that—but it's amazing to think that there's another 80 percent to 90 percent, within the indication," says Stewart. Full market penetration may be a little unrealistic, given that the anti-TNF class has been around for over a decade, but "when you look at the new indications, and the relative penetration rate, it gives you a lot of cause for optimism," says Stewart.

After the installation (Followed post to get around the DHCP problem during install) the web console says : Zimbra services are not available.
Please verify that all services are running on the status tab.
Status Tab says all running except Mailbox and LDAP.
Can not login to linux distro as root cause do not know the password.
Help Please.
No communication - tried downloading the OVF.ZIP package - reported as corrupt upon unzipping.
In the absence of any assistance now looking for another product that WILL install as the manual says it does.
Very sad - The ZCS client looks great - pity the server does not function as a mail server - very disappointing.
I hope that vmware ownership improves the quality control.
Trying 7.0 Beta Just in case the installation routine is better written. I really want to use Zimbra - just want it to work.
Well - V 7 installs without the drama of v6 and it actually starts correctly - the problems are the subject of the next post.........

VIDEO: Petzl RocTrip Argentina
Caves, slots; huecos, edges, corners. Winding canyons, leaning towers, phantasmogoric rock bulges, bat hangs, and pistoleros.This video just out following the 10th annual Petzl RocTrip, a gathering of the company's athlete team. The rock trips began in Millau, France, and have moved around the world, stopping in the Shawangunks one year (where rain poured but everyone still had a good time), Kalymnos, Mexico, Squamish and Bishop.
Last year's trip was for new-routing in China, per our cover story on the Great Arch of Getu, issue 200, by Andrew Bisharat. See upcoming Argentina feature, with writing and photography by Will Hummel, who supplied our Teva Games Bouldering World Cup photo gallery last summer, and also the opener for our Andy Lewis feature, issue 207. (Rock and Ice digital editions available here.)
The international team of athletes included Dani Andrada, Sean Villeneuva, Dave Graham, Mike Fusilier, Martina Cufar, Florence Pinet, Charlotte Durif, Melissa La Neve, Jerome Pouvreau, Daniel du Lac, John Cardwell, Nick Duttle and Damian Benegas, an alpinist from the country who presented a visual history.
This trip also involved much new routing, and routes done were both one-pitch and multi-pitch.

Home > Surgical Procedures > Minimally Invasive Prostate Surgery
1325 S Cliff AvenueSioux Falls, SD 57117-5045View a map605-322-8000
Minimally invasive prostate resection is surgery to remove part of the prostate gland, to treat an enlarged prostate. The surgery will improve the flow of urine through the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder outside of your body. It can be done in several different ways. There is no incision in your skin.
The procedure is typically done in your doctor's office or at an outpatient surgery clinic. The surgery can be done a variety of different ways, depending on the size of your prostate and what caused it to grow. Your doctor will consider the size of your prostate, how healthy you are, and what type of surgery you may want.
All of the procedures listed below are done by passing an instrument through the opening in your penis. Prior to the procedure, you will given general anesthesia or spinal or epidural anesthesia (awake but pain-free), or local anesthesia and sedation. Choices are:
Prior to the procedure, you will have many visits with your doctor. They will request that you have several tests administered as well as a complete physical exam. They will also want to make sure medical problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart or lung problems are being treated well.
If you are a smoker, you should stop several weeks before the surgery. Always let your doctor or nurse know what drugs, vitamins, and other supplements you are taking, even ones you purchased without a prescription.
During the weeks leading up to your surgery
On the day of your surgery
You will most likely go home the day of the surgery, or the day after. You may still have a catheter in your bladder when you leave the hospital or clinic.
A prostate resection will generally relieve your symptoms. However, you have a greater likelihood of needing a second surgery in 5 to 10 years than if you have transurethral section of the prostate (TURP). Some of these less invasive surgeries may cause fewer problems with controlling your urine or sexual performance than the standard TURP. Talk with your doctor to find the best procedure for you.
Following your surgery, you may temporarily have

I have submitted a bug on this, but wanted to ask the question in the forums in case someone has some insight on it.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.I had recently posted a question on the forums here:
I followed the example and entered this command (I had already created the account):
zmprov ma firstname.lastname@example.com zimbraMailCatchAllAddress @domain.tld
I tested two emails addressed to:
RCPT TO:<firstname.lastname@example.com>
RCPT TO:"Some One"<email@example.com>
Both emails get delivered to the account email@example.com as expected, but the To: header has been changed to [To: undisclosed-recipients:;] instead of showing the correct header field [To: <email@example.com>] or [To: Some One <firstname.lastname@example.com>].
I can't tell if it's postfix or amavisd-new that is rewriting the header, most likely postfix. Is there a zimbraMailCatchAllCanonicalAddress option that needs to be added when creating a catchall account?

For quite some time now I've been dealing with three frustrations:
The first is in large part the result of the 2nd and 3rd, as I'm stuck with the now quickly degenerating camera on my mobile phone.
Ok, that was me moping and feeling miserable. Now to the good part. There are more people like me in Amsterdam, loving this city and shooting it up from all kinds of angles, no matter the camera. I present you with two of my favorites:
AmsterS@m – The Wicked Reflectah
"Reflections of Amsterd@m, the best city in the world :). Most of the pictures in this set are shot with mobile phones. I don't use Photoshop or any other 'magic' software to create the wickedness of my puddle reflections :)"
Marjon of Iam sterdam (inspired by Amsterdamize)
Love it. Now, let's see if I can manage to keep my cell phone alive in the next 30 days, because this 'humanity in motion' thing is going to get far too interesting to miss out on.

This year marks the fifth year anniversary of the death of a worker killed upon opening a large store for an after-Thanksgiving Day Black Friday sales event. In 2008, the worker was trampled to death when shoppers rushed through the store entrance to take advantage of the holiday sales. Retailers can avoid similar tragedies through crowd management and safety precautions.
"The busy shopping season should not put retail workers at risk of being injured or killed," said Dr. David Michaels, assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health. "OSHA urges retailers to take the time to adopt a crowd management plan and follow a few simple guidelines to prevent unnecessary harm to retail employees."
OSHA sent letters to major retailers as well as retail and fire associations nationwide reminding employers and fire chiefs about the potential hazards involved with large crowds at retail stores during the holiday season when sales events attract a higher number of shoppers. Retailers are encouraged to use the safety guidelines provided in the OSHA fact sheet they received,
"Crowd Management Safety Guidelines for Retailers,"
in addition to their own procedures. They were also reminded to maintain appropriate access to exit routes and ensure that exits are not blocked.
Crowd management plans should, at least, include:
On-site trained security personnel or police officers.
Barricades or rope lines for pedestrians that do not start right in front of the store's entrance.
The implementation of crowd control measures well in advance of customers arriving at the store.
Emergency procedures in place to address potential dangers.
Methods for explaining approach and entrance procedures to the arriving public.
Not allowing additional customers to enter the store when it reaches its maximum occupancy level.
Not blocking or locking exit doors.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Lindsay Lohan was reportedly arrested yet again Thursday morning in Manhattan sending the national media into a frenzy.
WUSA9 News Director Fred D'Ambrosi, who wasn't too keen on having the station cover yet another Lohan newsflash, took to Twitter this afternoon to reveal his stance.
"I'm thinking about banning all #LindsayLohan stories," D'Ambrosi tweeted. The ban would be a one day ban, D'Ambrosi tweeted later.
The response was immediate and the message was clear: Viewers hailed D'Ambrosi's tweet and called for WUSA9 not to air the Lohan story.
"I'm all for it! Not news," @DBMC tweeted.
@CpyburnDC chimed in, "Do it, wish others would follow."
Realizing there was a clear majority, D'Ambrosi made the decision to ban the Lohan story for the day.
"OK," He tweeted. "Due to popular demand, we just killed the :20 #LindsayLohan story in @wusa9 @5. The people have spoken!"
D'Ambrosi noted the ban is just one day, because in his words, you "never know what (Lohan) will do next!"

|PCFES receives grant for family literacy activities
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Phillips County Family Education Services, Inc. announced recently that it received a $10,000 Daniels Fund grant to support its Family Literacy Program.
PCFES began as a library literacy program in 1992. In the past 17 years, PCFES has grown to provide adult English as a second language instruction, adult basic education/GED preparation, early childhood education and family literacy instruction.
Each year, PCFES serves approximately 45 adults in need of English language acquisition, 15 adult basic education/GED students and 20 children ages 6 months to 5 years and their parents.
"This grant will enable our program to provide high quality, interactive parent and child together learning sessions and also parenting lessons for the adults," Executive Director, Kindra Plumb said.
The Daniels Fund operates the Daniels Fund Scholarship Program and the Daniels Fund Grants Program in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. The fund was established in 1997 by Bill Daniels, a pioneer in cable television known for his kindness and generosity to those in need.
"Receipt of the Daniels Fund grant allows us the opportunity to purchase the supplies and equipment that is needed to effectively serve those in need," Plumb said.

You may have hoped today would be the last day you'd hear the word "sequester," but no. It's here, it's real, and the cuts are threatening to hit like a sledgehammer.
We knew it was coming - $85 billion in automatic cuts - but until now, some hoped President Obama and Republicans would make a deal.
Rep. Howard McKeon, the Republican Chair of the Armed Services Committee, countered, "I have never in my lifetime seen such a lack of leadership and truth telling emanating from the White House and our Commander in Chief."
Blame game aside, what's really going to happen when the clock strikes midnight? We asked Paul Singer, the Congress and Politics Editor for USA Today. "It's not going to happen instantly and it's probably going to take a month or two before we see real impacts come out."
The hard truth is that less pay means less money floating around the local economy. Friday, the defense department sent a letter to Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell informing him that they're cancelling 11 ship maintenance projects in Norfolk, Virginia, and cutting $146 million from army bases.
But as far as how the sequester will affect the average person? Singer says, "No one can tell you right now, what the actual impact is to you. They can tell you what the possibilities are, and they can tell you what the choices are, none of which are potentially good."

Iowa State basketball: LaRon Dendy going to Middle Tennessee | desmoinesregister.com | The Des Moines Register
my cousin goes there, sadly a commuter college
"The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Dendy averaged 7.3 points and 3.6 rebounds coming off the bench."
Plays a big 6'2".
I'm not surprised a smaller school took a chance on him.
I missed the upset of 5th ranked Kansas. Can someone give me details on that. I hope it was as good as the upset of Kansas State last year.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.
So much for him ending up at Kentucky.
damn fool
I say this with the utmost respect, but tough **** for Dendy. Kentucky rumors sure seem to be unfounded.

congrats to you you iowa state reject.enjoy your new league..you screwed your chance to play for a real coach!!!!!
I fully expect him to earn his Masters from there
Didn't know how good he had it. It's too bad...I was a big fan of dendy

Broadening Participation in Computing Alliance Program
The BPC Alliances were established between 2006 and 2009 to increase the number and diversity of college graduates in the computing and computationally-intensive disciplines. The Alliances are national and regional collaborations of academic institutions, educators, professional societies, community organizations, and industrial partners. They create the best practices, educational resources, advocacy networks, and forums needed to transform computing education. In aggregate, the BPC Alliances broadly address issues of engagement and education across the K-20 academic pipeline. They are specifically charged with addressing the long standing underrepresentation of many groups within the computing community but, many, if not most, BPC-A activities increase awareness, access, engagement, and inclusion for all students.
Computing permeates our lives and plays a key role in our economy. It provides the basis for much of the Information Technology (IT) innovation that has driven our economic growth in recent decades; it enables almost every sector of our economy; and it underlies many of the recent advances in science and engineering. It is not surprising then that computing is among the fastest-growing areas of projected job growth. What is surprising is that it is failing to attract many of our students: since 2000, the number of students who arrive at college intending to major in computing is down by 70%, 80% for women.[1] College enrollments and degree production in computing majors has also decreased dramatically over this time period, and although there are some recent improvements in enrollments, we are still significantly under producing students with the 21st Century skills that will be needed in a competitive, global economy. Recent ACT data, for example, shows projected job growth out-pacing student interest in computing majors by a factor of 5.5.[2] The BPC-A Program aims to change that.
The BPC Alliances provide ways to ensure that all students have opportunities to develop the interest and competencies that they will need to pursue computing and computationally-intensive disciplines. The emphasis on all students is important because we cannot afford to leave behind those groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in computing: women, persons with disabilities, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and indigenous peoples. Together these groups make up nearly 70% of our population. Without their participation, talents, and creativity, our Nation cannot meet its imperative for a globally competitive, computationally savvy workforce and we cannot hope to achieve the appropriate scientific, technological and economic innovations that will serve our highly diverse society.
The BPC Alliances in aggregate are a national resource for achieving the transformation of computing education. They
Thus, the BPC Alliances lead a comprehensive, national effort to provide all students with opportunities to develop the computational competencies they will need as part of the 21st Century workforce. A recent AAAS report concludes, "At the very least, based on national [enrollment] trends, the BPC Alliances seem to be bucking them. More important, they are championing new approaches to student recruitment and preparation, to faculty classroom practice, to disciplinary mission and measures of success. They are changing institutions - and the future face of computing."[3]
There are currently 8 BPC Alliances.

Some people are scared of the dark. Some people of spiders. Some men are scared of commitment. Personally, I have nightmares about not being the super fresh guy you all know and love. This one time I dreamt I was wearing leopard print leggings and a tanktop. It had me pretty petrified at the time as I looked like a complete idiot, but once I realised it was all in my head I couldn't stop Laughing My F*cking Ass Off. You may wonder why I'm disgussing fears on a fashion blog, well I'll tell you; too many independent brands are scared to release anything other than a few t-shirts. It's all too easy to draw up a few designs, print them on some Fruit of the Loom tees and startup a BigCartel site (Liam, back me up on this). It takes a great deal more inspiration (and balls) to create far more complex items such as jackets, embroidered sweats and caps. The latter is exactly what Soap-Box have done.
We've featured previous SB releases before, and you may remember that they were good enough to sponsor the AHOODIE Icon Award last December. The quality of their goods is ridiculously high, so you might think it comes with a premium price tag, but you'd be wrong. It's the level of detail put into each item that I really love. I always enjoy wearing clothes that have clearly been pondered over for some time. The kind of intricacies that put larger, mass produced brands to shame. The latest collection combines more casual and playful designs such as the "To The End" and "King and Queen" tees, with smarter, more distinguished pieces like the "State of Mind" stadium jacket.
The first items will be released from Friday 2nd March, with more items being gradually introduced over the coming months. You can get your hands on the collection from the Soap-Box online store, or in the flesh from Candy Store (Birmingham) or Maniki Neko (London).

Born Oct. 27, 1982 in Salt Lake City, UT, Patrick Raymond Fugit began acting at the age of 11 through a summer theater program. Inspired to pursue acting professionally, he landed a pair of guest spots on the inspirational drama "Touched by an Angel" (CBS, 1994-2003) and a small role in the schlocky made-for-TV movie "Legion of Fire: Killer Ants!" (Fox, 1998). His career received a massive boost when he was plucked from relative obscurity to star as William Miller, a character based on a teenage Cameron Crowe in the filmmaker's rapturously received love letter to rock-n-roll, "Almost Famous" (2000). The wide-eyed center of the beloved film, Fugit played a quirky and ambitious high school stu... Continue Bio >>

What the bride would have done differently:
I wish I would have remembered to apply for a wedding license. Our officiant mentioned something vaguely about getting one 6-8 months before our wedding over a brunch meeting. Leading up to the event, we didn't even realize that we needed to apply for one (I know this is obvious to some people; but not to everyone!). A good tip would be to make a list of "important list of things to do/logistic things" and hand them to a very responsible MOH or Best Man and make sure they remind you as the day approaches to make sure you dotted all your i's and crossed your t's.
I wish that we would have figured out a better way of placing our handmade hand dipped chocolate caramels (our favors made by a friend) to make sure that everyone got one. It was hot that day; so we made a last minute change to put them not at each person's place setting; but in a big basket instead inside the barn where the reception was. We think some people took 10 home; when other people got none.

Rear End Axle - Cut To FitWritten by on August 1, 2008 Easy Axles For That Oddball Rearend
Hot rods come in all shapes and sizes, which is cool, but one drawback of this situation is finding an appropriate rearend assembly of the correct (or close to it) width. For years, all that was required was a tape measure, a trip to the local boneyard, and an afternoon's worth of free time. These days, used 8- and 9-inch OEM Ford rearends-a staple of the hot rodding hobby-are like hens' teeth; and, when and if you find 'em, they're the skipped-over, iffy ones folks passed up back when they were plentiful. Plus, they're nearly as pricey as new units these days.
Thankfully for those of us who have or have access to an existing 8- or 9-inch Ford assembly-or a brand-new Currie housing like us-the folks over at Currie Enterprises/9-Plus have come up with a product that makes hot rod rearend fitment a simple and affordable task. The new 9-Plus Cut-to-Fit Axle Kit allows the home hobbyist the opportunity to fashion a rearend assembly that'll fit perfectly in almost any situation.
After recently doing a short intro article in the Nov. '07 STREET RODDER on these 9-Plus Axle Kits, the opportunity arose to use cut-to-fit (CTF) axles myself-actually, my wife, Candy, used them on her Total Performance track T project we introduced to you in the July '08 issue ("Hot Rod Girl: Part I," page 192).
Candy's Total Performance King T kit came through with a bare Currie 8-inch rearend housing as part of the chassis kit (complete assemblies are available as an option, though), and it was up to her to complete the assembly. The new Cut-to-Fit Axle Kit was perfect for this application, as we could get our hands on a pair right off the shelf from Currie and cut them to fit our needs without the added hassle of cutting stock axles and then having to get them re-splined. This meant we could measure, cut, and install, all in one afternoon-immediate satisfaction, just what we like.
Currie/9-Plus Cut-to-Fit Axle Kits provide the user with 28- or 31-spline axleshafts with 4 inches of spline length. As much as 3 inches of that spline length can be cut off, so you can end up with an axle length anywhere between 23 and 30 inches and still have adequate engagement into your third member (both 8- and 9-inch varieties). All CTF axles feature high-performance induction, heat-treated, forged alloy steel construction, and are ABCS (aftermarket brake configuration standard) compliant. Wheel bolt patterns are dual drilled for 5-on-4-1/2-inch Ford and 5-on-4-3/4-inch Chevy, and an access hole is factory drilled, too. All CTF axles come with a full installation package, which includes one set of five 1/2-20 Ford-style wheel studs, one set of five 7/16-20 Chevy-style wheel studs, one set of 20 tapered roller bearings with races, seals, and collars, and heavy-duty, late-model, large-bearing-style retainer plates. In most cases, it's everything you'll need; although, in our situation, we needed to purchase and install a third member and drum brake assemblies, as well. However, that worked out well, as Currie sells brand-new rear drum brake assemblies and gearsets. So, we also grabbed a pair of 10-inch drum brake kits and our new third member from Currie at the same time we picked up our CTF axles. Currie drum brake assemblies are available for 10x1-3/4-, 10x2-, and 10x2-1/2-inch shoes. Backing plates are reconditioned and powdercoated, the balance of the brand-new parts is fully assembled onto the backing plates, and the new drums come with any wheel bolt pattern up to 5-on-5 and with the stud hole size you desire.
So, with everything we needed to outfit her housing, Candy got to work. I did give her a hand, though, but only by installing the third member, since it was nearly as heavy as she is. Take a look at just how easy it was for her to assemble a custom-width rearend assembly in an afternoon, and keep Currie/9-Plus in mind for your next project.

Axle width for a particular situation is a critical measurement, and I recommend consulting an expert-like those at Currie-before cutting. They'll walk you through the correct way to measure using similar illustrations and clear explanations, so you'll achieve your desired outcome.After I lifted her new Currie third member into place, Candy installed the washers and locknuts while I recuperated from the effort. This way, she'd be ready for axle installation as soon as they were cut and prepped.When it came to cutting the axles, we decided to use my trusty chop saw. Setup and axle placement for an accurate cut is essential, so Candy measured and double-checked it a couple of times.It's also important to keep the heat down as much as possible while making the cut. Candy used the garden hose to keep things cool while cutting-it worked well, and we were confident we hadn't compromised the hardened shafts.Since Total Performance uses only the finest components in its T kits, the few items the company doesn't manufacture itself come from top-notch companies like Currie (for rearend assemblies and components) and, in the case of the King T bodies, Superior Glass Works. And, since Total uses Currie components, we were supplied with the correct measurements for our axles by both companies. All Candy had to do was measure 'em up and mark 'em for cutting. Notice she measured through the access hole in the axle flange, from the face of that flange to, in this case, 25 5/8 inches.With both axles cut to appropriate length (in the case of the King T housing, 25 5/8 and 29 5/8 inches), she then used a small triangular file to slowly chamfer the ends and to clean up any burrs in the splines.First, Candy pressed in the wheel studs. These days, no home hobbyist should be without a press; they're so inexpensive at this point that saving just one trip to the local shop will pay for it, and they come in really handy for a multitude of chores. We picked up ours for less than $120, and it has been worth way more than that in convenience and saved time alone.
The fresh bearing assemblies were next. Go slow and easy with your setup and install, making sure the bearings go on nice and flush.With the axle assemblies completed, the next step was the installation of the new seals. As always, take your time and make sure they're fully seated and not damaged in the process.After the seals were installed, Candy grabbed her brand-new drum brake assemblies and lifted them into place.She installed one T-bolt to keep the assembly from falling onto the floor and then used a bit of gear lube to pre-lubricate the axle seal to minimize any damage to them while she slid in the axles. It's important to support the axles as they're slid into the housing, so not all their weight is riding on the seals as they go in.The balance of the retaining bolts and nuts was installed once the axles were in and fully seated in the third member. The access holes drilled in the axle flanges made this an easy task.

Greensboro, NC - When you're going out on job interviews, don't go in with the attitude you are overqualified. In your One Minute Career Check, Consultant Joyce Richman tells how and why you should use your experience as a benefit.
Richman says she hears questions like this a lot during workshops. "The person says, 'I'm overqualified for these jobs, I'm smarter than the person sitting across the table from me, I'm probably smarter than most of the people at this company. I just threaten them, what am I supposed to do?'"
Here's Richman's best advice:
"What I tell them, and what I'm telling you is the first thing you need to do is lose the attitude. You may be overqualified, the job you are applying for is with your old company, and one less than the one that you had, that's when you are overqualified. But when you are interviewing for a company, where you don't know their business, you don't know their systems, you don't know their economic scale. You don't know their products, their consumers or who their venders are; you don't know who the suppliers are, you their challenges, you don't know their issues you don't know their people, you can't be overqualified. So approach those as you would anything that is new. Learn... ask questions... demonstrate curiosity. Sure you bring a load of experience with you, that you want to apply, but you can't apply it until you know what you are applying it to," said Richman.
I will see you soon. I look forward to it. Have a good one."

WASHINGTON – High school baseball players are used to making a whole different kind of catch.
WSVN reports members of a high school baseball team from Georgia went charter fishing Tuesday off of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to kill some time.
Their catches: mackerel, mahi-mahi … and a roughly 1,000-pound great white shark.
The giant fish reportedly took four teens about two hours to reel in before it was released.
Check out the video below to see the catch:
The monster catch follows the tagging of a great white in the Florida area just last month. See video of "Lydia" below:
And if you just can't get enough of great whites, check out this tracking system that allows visitors to watch white shark movements.

1956 Mercury Medalist - Magoo's MercWritten by on April 1, 2009 Contributors: Rick Amado Not All Custom Mercs Are '49-51s
Ki Hansen has been a car guy since he was old enough to draw one, a situation encouraged by his dad, who always had Corvettes and GTOs in the driveway while Ki was growing up. And it was during his childhood in Hollister, California, that Ki would see a certain '56 Mercury sedan driving around town, piloted by an old man with big glasses who could barely see over the steering wheel, known locally for obvious reasons as Mr. Magoo.
Fast-forward 20 years and Ki was working on an apartment building when he spied the same Merc parked in back, albeit with faded paint. Speaking with the building manager revealed that he knew the owner and the car had to be moved. Ki arranged to meet the owner out by the car, and it turned out to be the same old man with the same big glasses. Forty-eight hours later the Merc was in Ki's driveway, now with only its third owner since new.
As he tells it, "I've always planned the cars that I've built in the past, knew what I wanted, and went out and found one. This is the first car I bought on a whim. I wasn't looking for a '56 Mercury, but it was an opportunity to buy a car that had been around town a long time. The price was right and I knew it would be different." It certainly is different, being a sedan with a post rather than a hardtop. This was one of the things that drew us to the car at Paso Robles in 2007, and in the two years Ki has had the Merc finished, he's never seen another '56 sedan.
With the car in his possession, right down to the original dog-dish hubcaps, close examination revealed floors that needed repairing, as well as a rotted-out rear splash apron behind the bumper, though the latter just gave Ki an excuse to move the bumper closer to the body by 3 inches. On the plus side, every piece of trim was present and restorable, though the old Y-block was so greasy and tired, "I don't think the oil had been changed since I saw the car back in the '80s," Ki told us. On its maiden voyage to the San Francisco Custom and Rod show, the motor blew a head gasket, to be replaced within a month by a Chevy crate motor and automatic trans. "Swapping the motors was easy, requiring only small modifications to the stock motor mounts to get the Chevy in there. A new crossmember was made and a shortened driveshaft connects to the stock rearend."
The build took a year, though much time was lost by entrusting certain jobs to people who never delivered on time. The chassis and suspension are all stock, with 4-inch blocks at the rear and cut coils up front bringing down the ride height. The body has been nosed, decked, had the handles shaved and the dash smoothed. Ki mentioned, "When I first bought the car, the plan was to spray it flat black, add whitewalls and a Mexican blanket interior, and slam it." That plan lasted about 10 minutes as the uncommon body style deserved better, and after he and Dan Dornan finished the bodywork, it was covered in satin PPG copper and a white tuck 'n' roll interior added, along with rechromed bumpers with the bolts removed. The rebuild changed the car for the better, but its history lives on. As Ki reports, "One day I'm driving the Mercury downtown and pull up to a red light. This guy yells at me and says 'Hey man, that looks like Magoo's car.' I said, 'It is Magoo's car!' He yells back, 'I used to party in that car in the '60s.' The light turns green..."

Ki Hansen
Hollister, California
1956 Mercury Medalist
There's not much to report here, as the chassis and suspension are stock FoMoCo pieces, with the addition of 4-inch lowering blocks at the rear and cut coils bringing the front down to match. Monroe shocks keep unwanted bounce in check. Even the stock drum brakes are present all round.
When the "billion-mile" original Y-block finally decided to quit, Ki had Aldape's Automotive in Salinas install a 350 Chevy crate motor and TH350 trans. The motor wears rams horn manifolds feeding 18-inch glasspacks, finned valve covers, and an Edelbrock 600-cfm carburetor on a Performer manifold. The air cleaner is an original '57 Cadillac item that was Ki's first attempt at painting metalflake and his second pinstriping job. Even the stock Merc radiator was retained.
Wheels & Tires
Fifteen-inch steels support each corner of the Merc, wrapped in BFGoodrich 6.40/15 rubber with a 3-inch whitewall. Bullet centers were added to the '57 Caddy hubcaps.
Body & Paint
PPG Copper basecoat, sprayed by Spectrum Auto Touch in Castroville, now covers the old sheetmetal, which was nosed, decked, and shaved. The rear bumper was moved closer to the body, the mounting bolts on the bumpers filled, and one-piece taillight lenses from Night Prowlers fitted, but other than that this mild custom wears stock trim and grille. Ki mentioned to us that a roof chop may be next on the agenda.
Memo's Upholstery in Salinas was responsible for the black carpet and fresh white tuck 'n' roll on the seats and side panels, while the super-long 33-inch shifter arm on the Gennie shifter was fabricated by Jessie Dornan Fabrication, topped with a Von Chase skull knob. Ki scored the '54 Merc wheel for just $15 on eBay, sprayed white to match the timeless interior. The dash was relieved of the radio, clock, ashtray, and all knobs. Open the glovebox and you'll find a modern Pioneer CD player; the speakers are hidden under the package tray.

CULPEPER, Va. (WUSA) - Culpeper police have charged one teenager and are seeking a second in a noon burglary Thursday after an alert citizen called in the crime in progress.
Police charged Vincent Petros Crosland, 19, of the 800 block of Virginia Avenue with felony breaking and entering, grand larceny and conspiracy to commit a felony.
Police are seeking Darsel Justin London, 18, of the 1800 block of Broad Street. He faces the same charges as Crosland.
Shortly before noon, a caller saw two teens entering through a window of an unoccupied house in the 500 block of West Scanlon Street.
Police and Culpeper County Sheriff's deputies responded to the house and the surrounding area.
Police found Croland inside the home,and canine units from the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office and the Culpeper sheriff's office assisted Culpeper police and sheriff's deputies in tracking the second man who was reportedly seen on Virginia Avenue, Fox Den Road, at the Culpeper Country Club and in adjoining areas.
A helicopter from Virginia Airborne Search and Rescue in Manassas also assisted in the search.
Authorities were unable to locate London.
"We cannot thank the citizen who noticed the break-in in progress and called police enough for being proactive," said Culpeper Police Chief Chris Jenkins. "The assistance from the sheriff's office proved invaluable and was greatly appreciated."
Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of London may anonymously call Crime Solvers where callers never have to give their name or testify in court to earn a cash reward. Callers may also contact Sgt. Jeff Dodson at 540-829-5526.

With the 113th Map of the Week we take a look at Amalie's Pub in the town center of Slovanian North Junction.
The 67-year-old retired human female ranger Amalie owns the popular pub. Amalie opens each day at 16 bells (4 p.m.). She serves Junction Bock beer from the Junction Inn brewery at 7 copper pieces per quart/liter tankard. When one considers that the bock beer has nearly 7% alcohol, one tankard already is pretty heady fare. It shouldn't be surprising that bar brawls break out now and then. When they do, ceramic tankards begin to fly. However, when the battle is over, the brawlers usually avoid visiting the jail by paying Amalie for the damages. She offers nothing smaller than the quart/liter tankards. Beginning at 18 bells (6 p.m.), the pub begins serving fish boards filets of smoked trout from the Northflood on rye bread with creamed horseradish. They cost 5 bronze pieces each. Amalie has two employees. Sabina, a 19-year-old human female commoner, works as a waitress. Karolína, a 32-year-old human female commoner, makes the fish boards and also helps Sabina with waitressing when it's busy.
Key to the floor plan of Amalie's Pub
1. Woodshed.
2. Outhouse. A two-seater.
3. Storage Shed.
4. Door to Cellar (not mapped). Not only beer barrels but also extra tables and other equipment to replace those damaged in brawls are kept in the storage cellar.
5. Kitchen.
6. Food Window. When Karolína finishes making a fish board, she places it here. The waitress, Sabina, picks it up and brings it to the customer.
7. Beer Tap. Amalie fills the tankards and washes them in the nearby sink. Sabina picks it up the filled tankards and brings them to the customers.
8. Stairs to Amalie's Apartment (not mapped). The second story, where Amalie lives, is the top floor.
9. Public Room.
10. Main Entrance.
You can get this floor plan in two versions:

text: I have just joined the site and look forward to reading and responding to post on map making. I recently purchased CC3 from http://www.profantasy.com/ and I am starting to get up to speed. I plan to create a variety of maps just for fun. One project that I would be interested in getting feedback on is creating a Sci-Fi battle map. I want it to look like street and buildings in a futuristic city. Any suggestions on how to make the road surfaces (glass like or asphalt?) or examples would be great. I've found the vidoes on YouTube by Joe Sweeney to be very helpful. I am hoping this will also be a good place to get feedback and new ideas.

Wow, that is a nice buck. It is nice to see some nice bucks still come out of Eastern Montana.
Thanks fellas actually no I am not from Anaconda but I hunted and guided elk hunters in the wilderness there for 15 years and just plain love the country before the wolves!!! Acutally it is a piece of private land that we actually have taken 4 muleys in the past 5 years that scored over 180
Wow what a buck! Welcome to Eastmans forums.

STEUBENVILLE - With one win, two goals were accomplished for the Steubenville girls' basketball team on Monday.
The 60-41 victory against Oak Glen in the OVAC 4A semifinal advanced Big Red to Saturday's championship game against Harrison Central at Ohio University Eastern in St. Clairsville.
It also marked an undefeated, 12-0 season at the Crimson Center.
"It's something special," Steubenville coach Phil Casinelli said. "It's something they'll never forget.
"For the seniors, it was their last game on this court so it was an emotional game for them."
Seniors Emiley Masloski, Mytia Barker, Dominique Wilson, Brittany Bodo and Abby Taylor have a chance to repeat as 4A champions, but first had to get past the challenge of Oak Glen for the second-straight year.
Steubenville (20-1) led 17-6 after the first quarter and back-to-back 3-pointers by Masloski (on her first shooting attempt of the game) and Barker created a 20-point lead midway through the second quarter.
Big Red led 29-15 at halftime.
"At the beginning they got a lead on us and we were playing timid," Oak Glen coach Scott Wiley said. "Especially with the way Steubenville plays, you have to match their intensity.
"Once we figured out we were playing a basketball game we picked it up."
The Golden Bears (12-5) scored the first six points of the third quarter and eventually cut the deficit to 33-26. Steubenville missed its first 12 field goal attempts of the second half.
"It happens," Casinelli said. "When you're playing a full game there's going to be spurts. The defense has to hold down the fort, so to speak, and negate their scoring. They cut the lead down and made it interesting - Oak Glen played a great third quarter."
Barker hit the first field goal at the 3:40 mark of the third. Her 3-pointer less than a minute and a half later put Big Red up by double digits. With just under two minutes left in the quarter, she drained another 3 to extend the lead to 40-28 and keep it in control.
"It felt really good because lately I haven't been doing well with my 3s," Barker said. "It just happened in a big game like this. It helped my team extend the lead."
Her 3-pointer early in the fourth quarter put Steubenville up, 48-28. Masloski drained three 3-pointers in the first three minutes of the fourth and finished with 12 points. Barker led all scorers with 22.
"Playing with Emiley since like 4th grade, we know each other so well," Barker said. "We know our strengths and weaknesses and know where we'll be. All the seniors have great chemistry."
Steubenville forced 26 turnovers and Barker created six steals. Wilson had four steals and Hannah Masloski had two with five points.
Taylor added five points, while Lysiah Rice added eight points and grabbed eight of Steubenville's 25 rebounds.
"They're physical and fast," Wiley said. "They're a senior-laden team and their experience shows."
Jessica Stivason led Oak Glen with 12 points, while Vanessa Hissam added eight with seven of the Golden Bears' 24 rebounds. Alex Arnott scored seven points with a 3-pointer.

Scania Maintenance Contract
A Scania Maintenance Contract is the ideal way to ensure maximum uptime with minimum costs – and peace of mind. Rest assured that your vehicles are optimally maintained and that there will be no unexpected costs.
When you sign a contract with your chosen workshop, you receive the recommended preventive maintenance plan for your vehicles, based upon their specifications and planned driving conditions. We can even include non-chassis equipment and superstructures.
You simply pay a flat monthly fee, or a one-off payment up front. This means you know the maintenance costs throughout the contract, it simplifies your budgeting and enables you to price your customer transport assignments with confidence. And because you always deal with the same workshop, the service team builds a thorough knowledge of your vehicles and their service history, for efficient and accurate diagnosis if a problem crops up.
Vehicles supported by a Scania Maintenance Contract also benefit from higher residual values.

Just got to make it look like it was their fault lol
Just got to make it look like it was their fault lol
True, but my truck takes up well over half of these small residential streets.
All the more reason they should GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!
I feel that way..the way I drive, the middle of the rd is half I pick, other folks get the half left on both sides.
I firmly believe whoever is bigger has the right of way! A couple years ago I gunned my Peterbilt and empty grain trailer straight at a car passing another grain truck where he shouldnt of been passing. Gave him just enough room to get in but nothing extra. Wish I had a pic of the look on the guys face and Im sure he had to shower and burn his pants after it! The other truck driver was laughing his butt off. I guess it would be a bit scary to car that is expecting a truck to back off and let them in and instead it comes at them pouring out black smoke
Looks like I drew a whole lot of nothing in ID and WA. Headed for Missouri and a few places in between tomorrow
Camped up in Taylorsville this last weekend. It's up in the Ca mountains. On our way up in my rear view mirror I see this logging truck fly strait up my ass! Holy crap this dude was flyin! I pulled out in a lane for this guy to pass me and he did. This was a small barley two lane road by the way. So he hauls ass passed me and by the time I got back on the road, just slowed down enough for him to pass he was gone. I never saw him again. What a freakin crazy Mofo!! Those logging truck must know that road like the back if their hand to drive that fast on a curvy raid like that. Jeez
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
Them north cali tree truckers know how to throw some gears and got the ponies to back them!
Only reason I ever let someone pass is so they can be my guinea pig for getting pulled over if I'm coming up on a town or a known trooper sitting spot. I'll catch back up once the speed limit hits 75 again. Most road trips mean I'm driving my wife's ride and I've noticed I get profiled & pulled over for the slightest reason.
I was pulling my 30' camp trailer and had my wife crappin her pants with as fast as I drive and then this dude tailgates me!? Ya I would never let anyone pass cause I usually don't have any fallowers but I let this guy pass.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.

A new feature on the pharma landscape is the shortfall in the supply of many medicines essential to the treatment of major health disorders, including cancer, heart disease, and stroke. The problem has festered largely undetected for years, but is gaining fresh momentum as a consequence of medical need, globalization, changes to manufacturing practice, and the exit of some companies from certain low margin segments of the business. Price controls have even been cited by some analysts as a driver behind the interruption of many maintenance therapies needed to help patients keep their conditions under control. To help readers separate truth from fiction, Pharm Exec asked the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development (TCSDD) to summarize new survey research—partly commissioned by a grant from Amgen—that documents the scope of the threat and identifies the structural roots of the shortages. In a larger sense, the study underscores how effective management of the drug supply chain is emerging as something much more than an engineering feat: instead it's a societal obligation, one that the industry is going to be measured on in return for that all-important license to operate. This is particularly evident for the generics side of the business, which accounts for the majority of drug shortages tallied to date. —William Looney, Editor-in-Chief
Tufts CSDD developed a two-part methodology that entailed building a database of current drug shortages and conducting interviews with experienced hospital pharmacists to gather firsthand knowledge of how drug shortages are managed and the challenges that they pose. Tufts CSDD staff gathered publicly available data on 240 drug shortages occurring between 2001 and February 2012, from lists maintained by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) and the FDA. Data on therapeutic area, drug classification, molecule type, disease state, and the overall duration of the shortage for each drug was collected and analyzed. Tufts CSDD research staff coded the root cause of each drug shortage and summarized these causes by major grouping. Drug shortages that were resolved during this study were also included and reviewed for insights. We examined primary and secondary sources of research on this topic to provide context and clarification into the data collection process. Lastly, we assessed the economic cost and effects of drug shortages through interviews with hospital pharmacists.

Summary:Early one morning in Signal, Wyoming, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist meet while lining up for employment with local rancher Joe Aguirre. The world which Ennis and Jack have been born into is, at once, changing rapidly and yet scarcely evolving. Both young men seem certain of their set places in the heartland--obtaining steady work, marrying, and raising a family--and yet they hunger for something beyond what they can articulate. When Aguirre dispatches them to work as sheepherders up on the majestic Brokeback Mountain, they gravitate towards camaraderie and then a deeper intimacy. At summer's end, the two must come down from Brokeback and part ways. Remaining in Wyoming, Ennis weds his sweethe... Full Summary >>

Jon Swartz -- USA TODAY @jswatz
SAN MATEO -- The long-rumored Facebook smartphone, denied or side-stepped for years by the company, appears to be days away.
On Thursday, Facebook plans to unfurl the first phone designed to showcase its social network. Made by HTC, and using a version of Google's Android software, the device will be built into Facebook's services and include a camera, according to a report in the New York Times today, citing anonymous sources.
Facebook had no comment on the phone. Earlier this week, it sent an invitation to the media for a new conference at the company's headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., on April 4. The invite promised a "significant mobile-focused announcement."
Rumored for years, a smartphone is a natural for Facebook's more than 1 billion members, a majority of whom use the social network network on a mobile device.
Facebook has banked its future on its mobile strategy, in an unending pursuit of advertising. It's part of a larger directive internally to get customers to congregate around its social network as much as possible.
As a result, the company has added several features of late -- including a new news feed and Timeline to keep users on the site longer. Increasingly, ads will be introduced in those areas to help monetize Facebook's site.
The new Facebook phone comes before the next anticipated Apple iPhone.

Enteroclysis is a visual exam of the small intestine. The exam is done using technique called fluoroscopy. This involves using an x-ray unit with a camera and a screen.
Enteroclysis is used to examine and diagnose conditions that affect the small intestine, such as:
Problems from the procedure are rare. However, all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Talk to your doctor about these risks before the procedure.
Your doctor will:
To prepare for the procedure, your doctor may ask you to:
On the day of the procedure:
Your doctor may give you a sedative to reduce your discomfort.
You will be asked to lie down on an x-ray table. A numbing medicine will be sprayed on the back of your throat. A thin, flexible tube will then be placed into your mouth. The tube will be gently passed down your throat. The tip of the tube will pass through your stomach to your small intestines.
A special dye will be sent through the tube. You may be asked to move your body. This will help coat the walls of your intestine with the dye. The images of your intestine will then be taken.
A tube may also be placed in your rectum. The tube will allow some of the contrast dye to come out of your body. This step can reduce bloating in your abdomen.
After your doctor has taken all of the images, the tubes will be removed.
About 60 minutes
You will have discomfort when the tube is inserted. You may also have some bloating and discomfort due to the contrast dye.
Right after the procedure, the staff will bring you to the restroom. You will remain at the care center for about 30 minutes. Then you will be able to go home. If you were given a sedative, have someone drive you home.
It is common to have abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence (gas), and diarrhea. This should go away in 1-2 days.
When you return home:
Call your doctor if any of these occurs:
If you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

STEUBENVILLE-Mike Haney has one major mission in mind for his Steubenville boys' basketball team - play fast.
Lacking a true big man, Haney, who is entering his fifth season at Big Red, knows his players will need to ''hustle constantly, hustle everywhere on the floor and play fast.''
Big Red, who bowed to Minerva in the Division II sectional tournament to finish at 12-6 a season ago, has three letter winners returning.
Leading the way is senior Periogn West, who earned special mention in the all-Eastern District balloting as a junior.
''He'll be one of the leaders of the team,'' Haney said of his point guard. ''He works hard; he's in the gym every day. He put in a lot of time during the offseason. We're expecting a lot out of him and we'll look to him to control the tempo.''
The other lettermen are senior guards John Linn and Tajuan Lawson.
Haney's varsity roster features six seniors (Teshawn Luke, Dashon Redman and Mylik Young join the letter winners) along with three juniors (Adam Sterling, Chris Smith and Brandon Herring-Hill) and a sophomore, Lucas Herrington.
Sterling, a 6-foot-5 forward, is the tallest player on the Big Red squad. Young goes 6-3 and Luke, who hasn't played since his freshman year, is 6-2.
''We have to put pressure on our opponents and we all need to box out,'' Haney said. ''Everybody will have to crash the boards. We can't expect one or two guys to clear the boards for us. At the same time, we'll also need to be aware of the need to get back defensively.''
Steubenville will begin its season with four straight home games. Indian Creek, back on the schedule for the first time in several years.

Dear Editor:
As Thanksgiving approaches, it reminds us of the importance of having family, friends and loved ones come together and celebrate the simple pleasure of each other's company. It may be the sharing of good food, hearing stories of days gone by, or listening to the laughter of children as they romp and play. It is indeed a time to be thankful.
Sadly, there are many who will be going through the motions, trying to be brave. But the reality is that this is a holiday in which a loved one is missing. It may be a mom, dad, sister, brother or a friend. Whoever it is, their place at the table is empty. There are many reasons for this loss; some we have no control over, some we do.
Tobacco use takes a terrible toll on New Yorkers. According to Tobacco Free Kids, in 2009, 25,400 lives were prematurely lost due to tobacco use. The loss of these lives is heartbreaking not only to adults, but also to the many children who no longer have a mom, dad or loved one to come home to. This is a loss that may be prevented by quitting, or by encouraging a loved one to make a quit attempt. Please, for those who smoke, talk to your health care provider about getting help to quit, and call the New York State Smokers' Quitline at 1-866-NY-QUITS or visit them at www.nysmokerfree.com
Please also know the state Department of Health Tobacco Control Program will continue to work at reducing tobacco use and continue their efforts in preventing kids from starting to smoke, thereby saving lives and saving state money.

To the editor:
Jacksonville-Onslow County Crime Stoppers kicks off its annual fundraising drive with its 14th annual barbecue luncheon this coming Thursday, March 28, on the grounds of the Jacksonville Mall facing Western Boulevard.
The barbecue, catered by Smithfield�s and augmented with Sam�s hushpuppies, will be held between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Meals are priced at $7 each and can be purchased in advance from any board member or paid for at the event. Pre-orders of five or more meals can be delivered to locations in Onslow County, including all military installations, and should be ordered by March 26 by calling 346-6889 or 347-4007.
Proceeds from fundraising, in addition to funding rewards for credible tips to the Crime Stoppers Anonymous Hot Line, also contribute to the purchase of promotional items that are mainly distributed in Onslow County and Department of Defense schools.
During 2012, reward payments were authorized for tip information which assisted in 89 arrests or apprehensions and over $8,000 was utilized to purchase promotional items for the school systems.
Our annual fundraising, which also relies heavily on outright donations from businesses, organizations and individuals, has been negatively impacted over the last few years due to the economic downturn.
If you believe that Crime Stoppers is a worthy organization that contributes materially to the well-being of our community, please consider supporting our barbecue event or making an outright donation.
Tax-deductible donations to Crime Stoppers can be mailed to P.O. Drawer 436, Jacksonville, NC 28541. A receipt for all donations will be provided by return mail.

After Sandy, a great and complex city reveals traumas new and old
Follow: feed
ON THE EVENING OF SEPT. 3, 2008, I SAT IN THE EXCEL ENERGY CENTER in St. Paul, Minn. and listened as former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani mocked the Democrats' presidential nominee Barack Obama for his work as a community organizer:
On the other hand, you have a resume from a gifted man with an Ivy League education. He worked as a community organizer. What? He worked—I said—I said, OK, OK, maybe this is the first problem on the resume.
That line, which I didn't give much thought to at the time, and which in light of Barack Obama's election this week to a second term feels like ancient political history, has been back on my mind this week after spending many days delivering goods to various parts of Coney Island, the Rockaways, and Sea Gate hit hard by superstorm Sandy, mostly with volunteers who simply showed up.
The storm is over, but it's not. The narrative taking shape in the rest of the city, of a gradual return to normalcy, is not universal. For many neighborhoods Sandy's effects are like outward rippling waves of despair. The storm brought its destruction and claimed its lives and moved along. Now it's the aftermath—businesses without power, days without work, cars without fuel, homes without heat or light, shops without food, sick without medical care, communities without sturdy or meaningful support systems for their most vulnerable members—that is taking its toll, and making new, often shocking, demands on the city and its citizens.
Like Ben Heemskerk, owner of the Ditmas Park bar The Castello Plan.
"It just doesn't stop," he was telling me. "I tried to make it stop, but it doesn't."
It was Thursday, nine days after superstorm Sandy had put New York City behind her. Ben was holding up his iPhone to show me the most recent email from a group in the Rockaways: They needed someone to bring diapers and other supplies. Earlier that day, Ben had received a message from a representative of the Federal Emergency Management Agency asking if he could help organize a response to needs in a number of the most devastated neighborhoods on the Rockaway peninsula and Coney Island.
Ben, 31, is a friend of mine and engaged to one of my best friends, and before opening The Castello Plan in 2010 spent six years in nonprofits where he worked with homeless youth throughout the city and on international disaster-relief projects, among other things. Right now, though, he's simply a bar owner in Ditmas Park. He has no affiliation with or role in relief organizations that exist year round precisely to respond to devastating events like Hurricane Sandy. He doesn't have more ties to local government than any local business owner and responsible neighborhood citizen would. Sandy turned him, as it has many others, into a community organizer, an N.G.O. chief, a disaster-response professional, and something much bigger and harder to define.
That morning Ben and a group of volunteers from around the neighborhood had driven out to Gerritsen Beach in response to an email he got with the subject line "Gerritsen Beach childred [sic] freezing in the dark."
Gerritsen Beach sits on a peninsula it shares with part of Marine Park, 530 acres of grassland, salt marsh, and amenities run by the city Parks Department, and isolated from neighboring Sheepshead Bay by the Plum Beach Channel, an inlet of Jamaica Bay. The neighborhood, along with many of the places along the southern shores of Brooklyn and Queens most devastated by Sandy, remains without power and heat. The email concluded: "There is no one down here coordinating a recovery effort. Can anyone put me in contact with concrete help— a politician that will deliver, a benefactor that will take charge?"
Ben was marveling at the fact that Gerristen Beach is just five miles due south of The Castello Plan, where we were sitting when a local retired veterinarian arrived to volunteer his services. He had heard through some neighbors that veterinarians were needed. Ben promised to put him in touch with the point person in Coney Island.
Just six days earlier, Ben had sent an email to bar patrons signed up to his mailing list asking them to help the relief effort:
We need volunteers with cars and trucks to help deliver to donation depots in Staten Island tomorrow, Sunday, November 4th at 10am
I think this can be easy, no receipts, no tax deductions, no cameras, no politicians, no news.
We can get this done in a day.
Within 24 hours he had amassed four mini-school buses (donated), six cars, and two (off-duty) police escorts that spent Sunday delivering supplies to the locations in the Rockaways, Coney Island, and Staten Island that Ben had selected based on conversations with local officials in the neighborhoods. It was intended to be a one-time delivery, just as much as was needed before things got back to normal. But it soon became clear that the need would exist far longer and be far greater than he'd anticipated, that normal was still far off. More importantly, it became clear to him that there was no one around to hand the responsibility off to after a day of his bar patrons' and friends' contributions had been delivered and consumed. There still isn't.
I think it's important to be clear: I have very little comprehensive knowledge of what services this city is supposed to provide in a disaster; just a regular citizen's default belief that it can't be possible that tax-paying city dwellers should be allowed to remain without power and heat for extended periods of time without some government aid; that citizens of New York City who, in these reduced circumstances, find themselves in the cross-hairs of a nor'easter promising massive snowfall, high winds and bone-snapping cold temperatures should, without applying a tremendous amount of their own resourcefulness to the problem, find themselves safe, in the fundamental things, in the expert hands of their government and its agencies.
Having spent so much of the storm's aftermath in the blackout areas without power or phone reception, moreover, I have little sense beyond what I saw with my own eyes of the extent to which that is indeed what happened, ultimately, in the places I visited or elsewhere. Or who is being blamed, and for what, in the aftermath of the storm, when it hasn't.
Even what I saw when I went to Coney Island, the Rockaways, Sea Gate and other hard-hit areas of southern Brooklyn and Queens changed wildly, from day to day but perhaps more tellingly from block to block and varied from what others who were working with us in different neighborhoods experienced.
