Friday Afternoon News, February 1
Former Superintendent Weighs In On Educational Issues
(Le Mars) -- A lot of attention is being devoted to educational issues from the local standpoint of the Le Mars Community School District hosting an educational legislative forum on Saturday, to the state legislature working on measures of funding education and teacher evaluations, to Governor Branstad's goal to reform education, and all the way up to the federal level of the "No Child Left Behind" Act. But how many changes will occur, or need to occur, with our educational system. Dr. Larry Williams is a former superintendent for Sioux City, Hinton and the Akron-Westfield school districts. Williams, now retired, serves as a consultant relating to educational issues. One measure being proposed by the state legislature is to require college students wanting to pursue a career in teaching to take additional tests to qualify them as a teacher. Williams says testing future teachers may not determine whether an individual will make a good teacher.
Listen to
The Governor and the state legislature hope to create a method of teacher evaluations which would in part be based upon the student's performance. Williams questions whether such action would be fair to the student. He says good teachers use several means to adequately assess a student's performance, and there isn't one way that is the best method for assessing the student's progress. Williams says Iowa is famous for developing a standardized means of testing with the former Iowa Test of Basic Skills for elementary and junior high students, and the Iowa Tests of Educational Development used for high school students.

Williams says teachers and parents alike are always interested in the progress and assessment of a student.

Tomorrow and Monday we will continue our series of reports focusing on educational issues.
Spencer Man Found Guilty On Meth Charges
(Sioux City) -- A man who conspired to distribute methamphetamine pled guilty January 30, 2013, in federal court in Sioux City. Gabriel Ginger, 26, from Spencer, Iowa, was convicted of one count of conspiring to distribute methamphetamine. At the plea hearing, Ginger admitted his involvement in a conspiracy from about 2010 through August 2011 that distributed more than 50 grams of actual (pure) methamphetamine. On July 21, 2011, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Ginger's residence and seized over 10 grams of methamphetamine which Ginger planned to distribute to others. Sentencing before United States District Court Judge Donald E. O'Brien will be set after a presentence report is prepared. Ginger remains in custody of the United States Marshal pending sentencing. Ginger faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years' imprisonment and a possible maximum sentence of 40 years' imprisonment, a $5,000,000 fine, a special assessment of $100, and at least four years of supervised release following any imprisonment.
Harkin Aide Gave Names of Donors To Iowa State For Institute
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Records show a top campaign aide for U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin gave Iowa State University a list of individuals and companies who would be solicited for donations to his namesake
policy institute.
Harkin's finance director, Jeremy Gold, sent a list of 13 individuals and 16 companies who might give to the Harkin Institute of Public Policy to a top official at the ISU Foundation in
October. Earlier that month, Gold had sent the foundation proposed revisions to a fundraising brochure it's using for the institute.
ISU refused to release the names of those on the list, saying they were prospective donors whose identities could be shielded.
University officials have promised the institute would be nonpartisan and free from Harkin's influence.
Public Defender Selected To Fill Circuit Court of Appeals
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - A federal public defender in Cedar Rapids has been nominated to fill a vacancy on the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Jane Kelly has been an assistant federal public defender in the U.S. Northern District of Iowa since 1994.
Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin says Kelly "has spent her career working on behalf of the most underprivileged in society and has fought tirelessly to ensure the rights of all Iowans are protected."
Kelly was born in Indiana. She obtained her law degree from Harvard University in 1991.
Des Moines Man Pours Boiling Water On Fiancee
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A 22-year-old Des Moines man has been accused of tossing a pot of boiling water onto his fiancee while they were fighting.
Jeffrey Carlson was arrested Thursday night after officers responded to the home Carlson shared with the woman. She is the mother of his 9-month-old child.
Police Sgt. Jason Halifax says 22-year-old Alicia Atwood suffered burns on her back and on an arm and leg. Carlson told deputies that Atwood pulled the pot onto herself when she tripped
and fell.
Carlson faces two assault charges and one of probation violation. He remained in Polk County Jail on Friday, pending $10,000 bail. Online court records don't list the name of his attorney.
Atwood has been hospitalized.

The most amazing garden has popped up behind my house. And by "amazing garden" I don't mean that Fatima round the corner has planted some new geraniums – I'm talking about a garden that calls itself "the most beautiful and biggest natural flower garden in the world."
With over 45 million flowers spread over 72,000 square metres of what was once parched desert sand, it certainly lives up to its moniker: Dubai Miracle Garden. Designed as a tourist attraction that the developer hopes will attract up to one million visitors a year, the new garden is incredibly beautiful – a patchwork quilt of colour that spills across the desert sand in a dusty corner of outer suburbia – and I'm sure many people will get pleasure from viewing the quirky and amusing floral designs.
But – and there's always a but – I struggle with the… Read more

Careful with your cap!
I really liked this rack, and was impressed with the design. Super easy to install. Sturdy yet lightweight and compact for storage. Worked great with our mountain bikes and my wife's road bike. However, when I finally needed to use the rack with my road bike, I realized that I could not close the door of my cap due to interference with my brake hoods and levers. I would recommend this for use in an open truck bed, or on a limited basis in conjunction with a cap.
Simple, affordable solution but not with a tonneau cover
This truck bed bike rack is easy to assemble, is simple to use, is well made and is affordable. You can remove it from your truck by just opening the tailgate. Nothing could be easier. However, if you have a tonneau cover, you might have a problem. Unless your tonneau cover folds or rolls up all way up to the front of your truck bed, you will need to remove it to have enough room for your bicycle(s). This was the case with my four panel folding cover. And if your tonneau cover is bolted in, this may be more of an effort than you might want to expend. This is the reason that I returned mine; I am replacing it with a trailer hitch mount bike rack.
Works as promised.
Works as promised. Its obviously not designed to secure your bikes from theft (although you could always get a separate chain and lock), but it's very easy to use and store. The frame is solid and the straps are plenty strong...In other words, there's no flex and my bikes stay in place when I'm going around corners. I sort of wish they would put flat-wound springs on the skewers to keep the nuts centered...It would make it a little easier to drop the forks into place. Otherwise, no complaints!
Is this system lockable? Do the bikes...
Is this system lockable? Do the bikes lock to the rack and then the rack to the truck?

Skyrim's Dragonborn out Now - NewsCraig Snow, posted on 03 December 2012 / 2,066 Views
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's third downloadable content pack is set for release tomorrow on Xbox Live. If you're a PlayStation 3 or PC owner of the game, however, you'll need to wait until early 2013 before you can get your virtual hands on it.
Bethesda are calling it one of their most ambitious add-ons ever, which bodes well, especially considering how well-received Dawnguard was earlier in the year. But then, if the rumours of dragon-riding are true then I doubt many would argue against Bethesda's boast. Dragonborn also hails the return of some of the locales from Morrowind.
Incidentally, and unsurprisingly, Bethesda also hinted at the prospect of more add-ons following in 2013.

Not much analysis in that article, but it is easy to see the possible problems with this research. Since B+C only records data on the largest animals, little is known about the overall size of antlers in the herd. B+C animals are always a very small subset of the population, and perhaps with today's emphasis on records more animals that "just" make the book minimum are being submitted, skewing the average size of the entered animals. Quite a few people don't enter their trophies as well, so the small subset of animals that are recorded by B+C show little about the overall number of trophy size animals present in the herd.
I see an article based on data analysis of a presumptive PhD candidate who needed some conclusions to justify granting his degree. A 1% change in average antler size doesn't seem like much, and certainly not enough to recommend changes to our seasons.

Associated Press Release
THOMSON, Ga. (AP) -- A Georgia fisherman has reeled in the state's first record-breaking catch in more than two years.
The state Department of Natural Resources says Thomas Lewis of Grovetown caught a yellow perch weighing 2 pounds, 9 ounces from the Savannah River on Wednesday. It's the first state record-breaking fish of any species recorded in Georgia since 2010.
Lewis' catch broke the previous state record for yellow perch by one ounce. The previous record fish was caught in 1980 on Lake Burton and was tied by a yellow perch of the same weight hooked in the Savannah River in 2008.
John Biagi, chief of fisheries for the DNR's Wildlife Resources Division, says the record is a reminder that Georgia is "a fantastic place" for fishing.

Item # SHI0392
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Brake Levers & Integrated Shifters in stock than that.View Similar Products
Shimano Ultegra Di2 ST-6770 STI Shifters $0.00
True enough, Dura-Ace Di2 made a big splash when it was introduced. But Shimano's unveiling of Ultegra Di2 has us perhaps even more excited. Any skepticism we may have had before the original electronic release is long gone. After riding it we know Shimano's system works, and we know that it's a huge upgrade over the comparable mechanical drivetrains. Ultegra Di2 promises to be as groundbreaking as STI was in the first place to change the way we shift our bikes. These Ultegra Di2 ST-6770 STI Shifters are the heart and soul of the system along with the front and rear derailleurs.
The most obvious advantage to going electronic is that there are no cables. No cables = no friction. Also, the system makes fast shifts up or down the range, front and rear. Each shift is the same. Every time. And when you're about to attack or simply following wheels over the top of a climb, you'll appreciate the consistency. Better still, the shifting feel is much lighter. You can do it when you're tired. You can do it with "weak" fingers. You don't have to move your wrists or forearm. And by eliminating the cables and housing, you can kiss cable maintenance goodbye. Never again will your shifting performance degrade over time until you find yourself on a long ride, fumbling with your cable tension to quiet the racket emanating from your rear derailleur/cassette.
Unlike mechanical Ultegra Shifters, the Di2 brake lever doesn't swing sideways to shift. Instead there are two paddles behind the carbon-fiber lever blade. The one closer to the handlebar still does the traditional shifting with the spring (onto smaller cogs in the rear and onto the small ring in the front), and the one further away does the traditional shifting against the spring (onto taller cogs in back and onto the big ring in front). Each button has 2mm of travel, and is as easy to use as a mouse click. Each click of the button results in one shift. If you're coasting, you can "pre-shift" any number of gears, and the system will take up the shifting when you start pedaling.
By going electronic, Shimano was able to re-shape the lever body. They're slimmer, closer to pre-STI levers, with some more ergonomic refinement. Shimano shaved down their profile because they don't need to allow for derailleur cable routing and the internal hardware it takes to precisely shift the cables. Couple the new profile with the easy-to-adjust brake lever reach, and this makes Di2 a great choice for those with smaller hands. Have no fear if you have man hands, Shimano didn't hack away any of that prime real estate on the top of the perch that you know and love. And while Di2 isn't really about weight savings, these levers do skim about a hundred grams off the weight of the mechanical versions.
The Shimano Ultegra Di2 ST-6770 STI Shifters come as a matched pair. For the record, these levers are not backwards compatible with the Dura-Ace Di2 derailleurs or wire kits. The wire system has been simplified -- a good thing for aesthetic reasons -- and we're told that the next gen Dura-Ace will share this new configuration. The wire kits and other associated electronic pieces are sold separately.

Can these levers be used for mechanical setup. Or are they electronic only?
These are only for the Di2 derailleurs, so they are not compatible with the mechanical derailleurs.
Best bang for DI2 buck
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are perfect so what if they're 8g heavier than the 6870 di2 shifters they are compatible with 10 speed front and rear DI2 or with 11 speed front and rear derailleurs.
Comes with shifters and brake cables. Electronic cables need to be purchased separately. If you're looking for a big $ saver getting into the DI2 game these shifters are the ticket.
Are the ultegra braking cables and housing included?
is this only for a 10 speed cassette or will this work with an 11 speed as well?
These Shifters are set up for 10 Speed , if you have 11 Speed you will need a different set of shifters.
Thanks. Unbelievable that even when the shifters are electronic, and it is probably only software that needs tweaking to change from 10 to 11 to 789 speed for that matter, they still make us buy new products.
Actually they don't use software it is just designed to move the cable more effectively without mis-shifting. Electronic Shifting is novel but it's heavier and more expensive.
VLAP: did you have to do anything special or it work out of the box? can i ask what you are running sram/shimano/campy? and what gearing you have? 11-28?
These shifters are for 10 speed out of the box. Update the firmware with SM-PCE1 and they work for 11 speed. Once the firmware is updated to 11 speed, you can still use them with 10spd derailleurs. These shifters at this price of $111 was a steal.
They can be used with 11 speed out of the box. They are essentially just mouse buttons. They only difference between the 6870 and 6770 shifters is the sprint shifters are only compatible with the 6870's
smooth shifting/braking everytime
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
the Ultegra Di2 setup is a very nice upgrade overall. i am running ultegra di2 on Nago and Orbea, one with dura-ace drivetrain and the other with ultegra drivetrain (both run 53/39 rings). shifting is very smooth on both bikes, even when i change out the wheelsets which have different rear cogs (11-28 and 12-30). dramatic changes in cogs require minimal adjustments that are made easy with the electronic calibration capabilities (i also use a 11-25 cassette). overall, the shifters/levers here are consistent, reliable, and comfortable. i will never go back to mechanical again.
This price is for the pair?

What is included with these shifters? Is the battery included? Are the only other items that need to be purchased the front and rear derailleur?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After running mechanical for a while i bought a tarmac with di2. The results....excellent. I love the smoothness, the precision, and the durability of these shifters along with the entire di2 setup. I don't think I would ever go back to mechanical except for training purposes. For racing, di2 is the way to go especially when you are exhausted near the end of a race and it gets tough to continually throw shift levers on the mechanical setup rather than pressing a button on the di2
can I use this shifters instead of the...
can I use this shifters instead of the Shimano Ultegra ST-6700 STI Shifters?
Are they compatible?
Hi Jorge,
They are not compatible. The Ultegra 6700 shifters are mechanical while these are electronic.

The "Stronger" hitmaker made his opinions known on everything from his lack of Grammy Award nominations this year to his fall out with sports giant Nike and his subsequent defect to Adidas, while he has also vented his frustrations about being overlooked as a credible fashion designer.
Among other topics the financé of reality TV star Kim Kardashian took issue with was the production value of her TV series on the E network, and
He also made headlines in 2013 for "reclaiming" the Confederate flag, having a very public "rap feud" with talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, proposing to Kardashian at an elaborate event held at a baseball stadium, allegedly assaulting a photographer, and comparing performing at his concerts to that of military service or police work.
However, at the final date of his North American tour in Toronto, Canada, the hip-hop star announced plans to keep his thoughts to himself for a while.
In a lengthy last missive, he stated, "Everything I'm saying that's not allowed, soak it in right now. This might be the last time y'all hear me talk (expletive) for a long time. Might be another like six months. At least. You're just gonna have to run back the interviews and (expletive) if you wanna hear some realness!"

Also, what a great place to adventure! Please tell us more about your setting when you get a chance. I'm assuming the route is no longer the domain of dwarves and is inhabited by some really nasty Underdark denizens? Got to have some Mind Flayers. Back when Wizards was still selling old 2E stuff in PDF form I picked up the creature books on illithids, beholders, and sahaugin along with the adventures that went with them. Fun stuff.

Village should commit more to the library
(Page 2 of 2)
We would like to see those new hours simply added to the hours the library offers during the week. Taking away time on weekdays is only robbing Peter to pay Paul. The village board, which determines funding for the library, should commit to providing some additional staff so the library can truly offer the most hours and best service possible.
We understand that finances are tight, and the board doesn't want to raise taxes any more than it already has, but a small investment now could pay off big in a few years if the facility can win back the North Valley Stream library contract.
The library is open 57 hours per week and always has two librarians available. When the Sunday hours begin, however, the total will be maintained, but there will only be one librarian for four of those hours. We're not sure how that is an improvement in service.
There are low-cost options available to the village that could make a big impact. For example, bringing in a per-diem librarian on Sundays, at a reasonable rate of $150 for four hours, would cost about $6,000 per year, little more than a rounding error in a $35.4 million budget.
Improving service at the library for patrons, and giving the facility a chance to reclaim North Valley Stream patrons, doesn't have to be an expensive proposition. But in order to do it right, it can't be done for nothing.

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - This is why Joe Girardi wants Mariano Rivera to
stick around.
He's still so damn good at his job.
Rivera, the retiring all-time saves leader, put the brakes on a four-run White
Sox rally in the eighth inning Wednesday night and earned a four-out save as
the Yankees held on for a 6-5 win.
Girardi pulled ace CC Sabathia with runners at first and second and one out in
the eighth inning, giving the ball to David Robertson for his second outing
in 10 days.
After Robertson gave up three runs while only retiring one batter, Girardi
called in Rivera, who struck out Alejandro De Aza with runners at first and
second to get the Yankees out of the inning with a 6-5 lead.
Rivera set down the White Sox in order in the ninth for his 41st save of the
season and 649th of his career.
The stop came one day after Girardi said he didn't see a reason why Rivera,
43, had to retire after the season.

Longer School Years: Help or Hindrance?
Classroom calendar alterations receiving federal attention
January 14, 2013
Did your kids moan that winter break was way too short as you got them ready for the first day back in school? They might get their wish of more holiday time off under proposals catching on around......
Years ago I read a professional journal article regarding teaching early reading to young children. My school experience was that reading & writing began in 1st grade, but it is now part of the curriculum if a child is a 3 year old in preschool.~The summary of the article was something like "we can teach reading to youngsters, but as they age, many do not enjoy reading because it was introduced so early". I would argue that the goal of any education program is to produce a critical thinker that is flexible in the job market. If a person has shut down from too many years of structured learning, he or she is not going to be a motivated self learner as an adult...I don't care how well they did on standardized tests. Regardless, any decision should be made for the student, not day care needs of families, economic factors of hotels, etc. On a personal note, I learned much more WORKING in the summer starting at 14 than I ever did in som

You can have schools open 24/7 365, but it won't matter unless you make the "teachers" accountable for the product they are putting out.
Get rid of the teachers unions if you want to start to improve the education of our children.

I am almost 60 and they have been discussing this since I was a child. It will never happen. Teachers will never agree to work through the summer or this would have already happened. Nothing will get fixed in the school system until someone starts asking the students/former students what is wrong. We all have stories of the teacher falling asleep, telling students they can skip class but do not get caught, giving the answers to their test,and the famous open book testing. The students have always known who are the good and bad teachers but no one listens.

Skagen : Michelin's recommendations
Once a humble fishing village invaded by shifting sand dunes, Skagen owes its present renown to painters. In the 1870s a group of artists, fascinated by the desolate landscape and the light, came here to paint and ended up staying for good, giving birth to the famous Skagen School. The village has gradually become a popular holiday resort with lovely beaches and a bustling centre. Skagen is also one of Denmark's main fishing ports.

Whether you buy electronics, home goods, travel or apparel, all of your purchases will appear on one bill. You can choose to pay in full or over time*.

*Interest charges apply if paid over time.
View the PayPal Credit Terms and Conditions
You can sign up right at the merchant's site. Simply choose PayPal Credit as your payment method at checkout — it takes only a few seconds. Answer two quick questions and accept the terms. You'll receive a bill in the mail. There is no sign-up prior to making your purchase and there is no sign-up fee. View demo on the Paypal Credit website.

The Annual Percentage Rate is 19.99%. The Minimum Finance Charge is $2. Of course, you can choose to pay your entire balance by the payment due date and pay no finance charges.
PayPal Credit will charge a late lee for each month that a minimum payment is not paid in full by the payment due date on your statement. The amount of the late fee will be the amount of the missed payment; up to $25 the first time you are late. If you're late again, the late fee will be up to $35.
Yes, PayPal Credit provides "zero fraud liability" protection; the same protection provided by most major credit cards. This means you are not responsible for unauthorized charges.
PayPal Credit has been designed with other features to help protect against unauthorized use of your account. Your identity is validated with top-of-mind information such as date of birth and the last four digits of your Social Security number. This means there is no account number that can be lost or stolen.
Yes. Once you open a PayPal Credit account you will have a credit line, which we call your "buying power."
When you have completed your first purchase using PayPal Credit, Comenity Capital Bank will open a PayPal Credit account with buying power equal to the amount of your purchase or $500, whichever is greater. You can now use PayPal Credit to make additional purchases. If those purchases would cause your outstanding balance to go above your buying power, then we will evaluate if you are eligible for more buying power and increase your buying power if you are. This happens seamlessly during the checkout process — you don't need to do anything and it won't slow down your checkout.
On an ongoing basis, your buying power will be either the highest total of balances you have had outstanding on your account at any time or a lower amount of which you have received notice, but will not be less than $500. Here's an example of how this works:
You can always continue to make additional purchases up to your buying power limit, and we will consider increasing your buying power when your purchase goes above it.
PayPal Credit is a credit account that you can use to make purchases. Comenity Capital Bank will review and consider your credit report and other credit related information prior to opening your account and establishing your buying power. Creditworthiness is determined by Comenity Capital Bank. This process happens in a matter of seconds as part of the PayPal Credit checkout process. Once you are a PayPal Credit customer, you can rely on your buying power to make purchases. If you make a purchases that would cause your outstanding balance to go above your buying power, we will review your credit history and history with PayPal Credit to instantly determine whether to increase your buying power.
No, we pull a credit report on your first purchase and occasionally when you ask us to increase your buying power. We do periodically get updates to this report but these updates have no impact on your credit score. We review your account quarterly. If for any reason we reduce your buying power, we will notify you in writing of the reason.
You increase your buying power by attempting a purchase that is above your buying power, we will treat that as a request to increase your buying power. We will take into account your credit history and history with PayPal Credit to instantly increase your buying power if you are eligible. This happens seamlessly during the checkout process — you don't need to do anything and it won't slow down your checkout.
PayPal Credit is available at more than 1,000 online stores, catalogs, and travel partners. A complete list of the retailers that accept PayPal Credit is provided on the PayPal Credit website at www.billmelater.com.

Two microRNAs have been identified as potential therapeutic targets for obesity. Researchers at Virginia Tech and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas have shown that mice genetically engineered to lack microRNA-378 (miR-378) and miR-378* are remarkably resistant to obesity when fed a high-fat diet, and are metabolically more capable of converting food into energy than wild-type littermates.
The team's studies, reported in PNAS, also showed that liver and skeletal muscle mitochondria from the engineered mice exhibited increased levels of oxidation, indicating that loss of the two microRNAs is linked with increased energy expenditure and resistance to obesity. "We did not know the function of this pair of microRNAs, but were intrigued because they arose from a gene connected with metabolism, and are expressed in a variety of tissues, such as muscle, fat, and liver," explains senior author Eric N. Olson, Ph.D., professor and chairman of molecular biology at UT Southwestern.
"When we modified mice so that they were missing these microRNAs, it permitted their cells to burn more energy and have greater obesity resistance than those of their untreated littermates. This pair of microRNAs seems to function as key regulators of metabolism, suggesting that a drug designed to inhibit them would have a positive effect against obesity."
The microRNA IP has been licensed by the UT Soutwestern Medical Center to Miragen Therapeutics, and is currently at the lead optimization stage. The partners have also established a multiyear Sponsored Research Agreement through which Miragen hold exclusive rights to license all future microRNA-related discoveries from Dr. Olson's laboratory.

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. (HSU) - Kevin Rodgers set a Henderson State record throwing for 595 yards as the 8th-ranked Reddies beat East Central Oklahoma 63-31, Saturday at Carpenter-Haygood Stadium in Arkadelphia, Ark.
Rodgers completed 42-of-50 passes and had touchdown strikes of 28, 32, 41, and 28 yards. His final scoring toss gave him the Reddie record which also was a Great American Conference record surpassing Tyler Sykora's mark of 520 set Oct. 22, 2011 against Ouachita Baptist.
East Central, at one time, led 17-14 scoring 10 points off of Reddie turnovers in the first quarter. Henderson State, however, scored 28 second quarter points while the defense shutout the Tigers to build a 42-17 halftime lead.
Rodgers' last pass of the game was a 28-yard scoring strike to Justin Bradford.
Darius Davis had four catches for 100 yards and touchdown receptions of 28 and 41 yards. Davis set the HSU career record for touchdown receptions surpassing Garett Manning's record of 16 scores set from 2005 to 2008. Davis now has 18 career touchdown receptions.
The Reddies compiled 746 yards of total offense, averaging 9.1 yards per play, while East Central collected 418 yards.

President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans have started positioning themselves for negotiations to avoid the rapidly approaching "fiscal cliff."
It is not hard to see that the president holds the higher ground.
Which is exactly why Obama should use the opportunity to embrace the very resolution he has shown little interest in supporting: the recommendations of his own panel of financial experts, the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, better known as the Simpson-Bowles commission.
The president won re-election, which recharges his political-cachet batteries.
Of still more help to the president, Obama's Democrats also increased their numbers in Congress.
Further, a poll indicates that if our federal leaders fail to resolve this looming crisis responsibly, the public will blame Republicans in Congress rather than Obama. By a nearly 2-1 ratio. A Pew Research Center poll released Tuesday found that 53 percent of respondents would blame Republicans, while 29 percent said they would hold the president more to blame.
The president is in a position to get much of what he wants. Unfortunately, what the president seems to want is the same mostly symbolic victory over the "1 percent" he has pursued since the start of the campaign season a million years ago.
He has sought higher taxes on couples making more than $250,000 or singles earning more than $200,000, whether it makes an impression on deficit reduction or not (hint: not much) or whether it helps resolve the knottier inequities downstream from "fairness" issues involving the rich (hint: not at all).
That single-minded resolve worked fine as a campaign theme, but it does not help push the nation from the precipice looming like a modern-day Mayan calendar on the other side of Dec. 31.
Unlike the rather obtuse Mayans, economic forecasters are developing precise projections of what awaits us in 2013 if Washington fails to adequately repair the nation's finances: layoffs in key industries; the possibility of another downgrade in the national credit rating; and, likely, another recession.
The question, then, is not whether Obama is in a position to bend Republicans to his will, at least to some degree. Yes, he can. The real question is, to what?
The Simpson-Bowles commission reported its recommendations in November 2010. Its members urged caps on discretionary spending, a 15-cent-per-gallon gasoline tax and limitations on the growth of government.
Its primary recommendations, though, regarded tax reform: A lower, fairer corporate tax, as well as lower overall rates paired with the elimination of most deductions.
The advantages of the Simpson-Bowles recommendations, or something like them, are many. The main advantages regard the ability of American corporations to compete worldwide, thus increasing their capacity to create jobs, and the ability of the feds to stabilize the nation's books by increasing revenue without increasing overall rates.
No compromise will satisfy either side. But a deal anchored in a Simpson-Bowles formulation at least tells citizens and ratings agencies that the U.S. is serious at last about closing its shocking deficit gap. And there is a lot of value in that alone.

For what it's worth, my eyes seem to be really picky on what works for me. I leave the eyepiece extended on the ED50 and can use the full zoom, been using mine for 2 seasons now. The Zeiss Victory FLT binos fit me also, I use them one click short of being fully extended and they fit me perfect. Most versions I tried including the Cabelas Euros, Vortex Razor, Zen Ray Prime, and Minox HG left me wanting to extend them one more click. Maybe this will help someone having a similar problem with optics.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) - The retail store IKEA announced it is going all-LED by 2016 in an initiative to be a more sustainable business.
"More than half of Americans have seen an increase in their home electric bill over the last 12-24 months. Furthermore, 69% of Americans say that lighting accounts for up to 40% of their electric bill. Replacing existing lighting with LEDs can save between 50% and 90% of lighting energy costs," IKEA stated in a press release.
This is not the first green initiative the company has taken on. IKEA was the first company that stopped the use of plastic bags and incandescent bulbs, according to the press release.

Nearly a dozen Jefferson-Morgan students and several veterans' groups spent Friday morning decorating the graves of veterans buried at Greene County Memorial Park.
Central Greene's budget and finance committee agreed Thursday to increase taxes while cutting $1.4 million out of the tentative 2016-17 budget.

Yesterday I experienced an issue with our mailbox (tomcat) being stopped. I'd restart it and a few minutes later it would stop again. I had to do this about 8-10 times over the next hour while simultaneously looking through the logs. It stopped crashing just after 5 pm or so. I was able to find that there were repeated entries in the mailbox.log saying "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space". It was always for the same user and always during a message send. Turns out the user turned off their PC at 5pm and went home - right when the crashing stopped.
Today I was able to confirm that they have an email stuck in their outbox and every attempt to deliver results in this heap error and usually every 3rd or 4th attempt results in tomcat crashing completely.
As for the message, it doesn't appear to be too unusual. It is a reply to a mass email of about 30 people. He's attempting to reply to all 30 of them and then CC 2 other. I sent myself a test message from his account which does leave the inbox, but the stuck message stays stuck.
Obviously, deleting this email will stop this instance of the problem - but I want to prevent it from happening again with him or anyone else.
server is a VMWARE VM running with 2G of RAM and 2 cores assigned. There are about 75 total mailboxes on this server. Zimbra version is Network Edition 4.5.5. User is on XP Pro with Outlook 2003 and Zimbra ZCS 18.104.22.168.
What I find most disturbing is that outlook can bring down the Web Client and Web admin client.
I appreciate any help or troubleshooting/prevention advice.

PARACHUTE - Grand Valley High School's spring sports teams are looking for improvement all around this season. On Tuesday, there was resounding evidence that would happen.The Grand Valley girls soccer team earned a resounding 15-2 victory over Colorado Rocky Mountain School in the Cardinals' season opener. Coach Eric Sarno was not only surprised by the victory, but the margin of victory."This shows what kind of progress we've made," he added.Baseball has hopes that kind of progress can be made on the dirt diamond after a three-win campaign a year ago. Grand Valley's track and field team sent three athletes to the 3A state meet and are hoping for more this season.And Grand Valley's girls golf team had a good start to the season last week. Junior Misty Bowen recorded a 92 at the Cardinals' season-opening tournament in Grand Junction on March 4, setting a school record for the lowest round played by a girls golfer at Grand Valley.Here's a look at the spring sports teams and seasons at Grand Valley:BASEBALLCoach: Jake Gray (third season).Last year: 3-16 overall.Key returnees: Jake White, Sr., 2B/P; Stephan Padilla, Sr., SS/P; Jose Ramirez, Sr., 3B/P; Wyatt Hurst, Sr., 3B/P; Wyatt Hurst, Sr., 1B/P; Tristan Olson, Jr., C/P; Trent Reidle, Sr., CF/P.Others to watch: Luke Bowen, Fr., UT; Johnny Parker, Fr., IF; Tanner McGee, Fr., UT; Jared Radel, Fr., UT; Jacob Hart, Jr., UT.Look ahead: Grand Valley had a down year in 2012, but Gray feels the Cardinals' improvement will extend well past what they do on the field. "We have a group of seniors who I think will take ownership of the team," Gray said. ... Grand Valley has some depth on the mound, as seven different returnees have the ability to pitch. Seniors Ramirez and Reidle are expected to compete for the No. 1 starter spot. ... Grand Valley returns Jake White at second base. White suffered a severe leg injury during an auto shop class in November, and it forced him to miss the Cardinals' 2A state playoff game and all of basketball season.TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Mark Jansen.Last year: Sent three athletes to Class 3A state meet.Key Athletes: Rocio Roman, Sr., middle distance and distance; Korrie Hurt, Soph., distance; Ben Coleman, Soph., hurdles and jumps; Isaiah Martinez, Sr., middle distance and distance; Zach Steinke, Jr., jumps and relays; Jori Shaver, Jr., middle distance.Look ahead: Roman is the only returning state qualifier this season for the Cardinals, and a viable one. The senior qualified in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles and the 1,600 meters, and she finished sixth in the 300 hurdles at the state meet. ... Grand Valley has a lower number of athletes this season, but Jansen is confident that the 34 athletes who will be participating this season will show improvement by the beginning of May.GIRLS SOCCERCoach: Eric Sarno (second season).Last year: 9-6-0 overall, sixth place in Class 3A Western Slope League.Key returnees: Jordanne Williams, Sr., Def.; Codi Metcalf, Jr., Def.; Ashlynn Speakman, Jr., MF/F; Jauren Paskett, Soph., MF/F; Kyra Chenoweth, Soph., MF/F.Others to watch: Megan Smith, Soph., MF; Desi McGee, Soph., GK; Erin Schuckers, Jr., GK.Look ahead: Grand Valley started the season with a bang on Tuesday, blitzing Colorado Rocky Mountain School 15-2 in its season opener. The margin of victory was a big surprise to Sarno, who noted after the game that both of the Cardinals' games with CRMS last season were close. ... The Cardinals have 17 returning varsity players from a season which was the best in the program's history. Sarno said his team feels poised for its first run at the 3A state playoffs.GIRLS GOLFCoach: Drew Thompson (first season)Last Year: No state qualifiers.Key returners: Misty Bowen, Jr.; Vanessa Green, Jr.Others to watch: Jory Dovy, Soph.; Brandi Dyer, Fr.; Jenny Hughes, Fr.Look Ahead: Thompson is encouraged from Bowen's performance in the Cardinals' season opener, primarily since that was the first time any team members had seen any time outside because of the weather. ... Thompson is in his first year of coaching Grand Valley, and his emphasis for the team is improvement. "If I can get everyone on the team to break 100, we'll have done very well," Thompson said.

He tries to trap people.Remember he claims to have been a teacher!What a horrible example.
Perhaps you can resurrect some of his past posts about his drug use,jail,baby sitter girl friend,love child,pm for sex and the list goes on.
This would remind his split personality of who he really is.
We all pray for him to calm down and enjoy his 4 children and grand children.Now that his wife has retired from school teaching he should calm down.
She was such an excellent teacher.
Jesus loves all.
Happy New Year to everyone.

Second Quarter Summary (compared with prior year's second quarter)
Tom Hill, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our second quarter results further demonstrate the earnings leverage of volume growth in our aggregates business, and our continuing improvements to margins and unit profitability. A 10 percent increase in aggregates volume helped drive a 27 percent increase in Aggregates segment gross profit. Cash gross profit per ton increased to $5.00, an 8 percent increase from the prior year's second quarter and a record level of unit profitability for this segment. Across all of our businesses, gross profit as a percent of net sales increased 400 basis points.
"We continue to experience accelerating demand recovery in most of our markets. Our aggregates shipments have increased year-over-year for five consecutive quarters, and the markets Vulcan serves should continue to grow faster than U.S. markets as a whole. We now expect our full year 2014 aggregates shipments to be 7 to 9 percent higher than the prior year, as compared to our prior estimate of a 4 to 7 percent increase."
Commentary on Second Quarter 2014 Segment Results
Aggregates SegmentAggregates segment revenues were $596 million compared to $508 million in the prior year's second quarter. These revenues include sales generated from producing and selling aggregates tons as well as revenues from aggregates distribution, delivery and other services, including truck brokerage services. The truck brokerage services have been expanded recently to enhance our ability to serve customers and generate additional earnings from each ton shipped. The gross profit margin on growth in revenue associated with producing and selling aggregates tons was in line with our expectations. Also as expected, revenue growth from our transportation-related activities contributed to earnings but at a lower margin percentage.
Aggregates shipments increased 10 percent compared to the prior year, with key markets including Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia reporting more than 15 percent volume growth and Florida and Southern California realizing 11 and 12 percent growth, respectively.
Freight-adjusted pricing for aggregates increased 3 percent, or $0.33 per ton, versus the prior year's second quarter as virtually all markets realized price improvement. This widespread price improvement, combined with reductions in our production costs shipped, drove a $0.49 per ton, or 15 percent, increase in our gross profit. As a percent of segment revenues, our gross profit margin in the Aggregates segment improved 210 basis points over the prior year's second quarter. Aggregates segment gross profit was $162 million, an increase of $35 million, or 27 percent, versus the prior year's second quarter.
Asphalt, Concrete and Cement SegmentsOverall, gross profit from the non-aggregates segments improved $7 million versus the prior year. Earnings improvement in the Concrete segment drove the majority of this gain.
Asphalt gross profit was $9 million, in line with the prior year's second quarter. Asphalt volume increased 3 percent and materials margin improved slightly versus the prior year due mostly to lower costs for liquid asphalt. Operating costs, primarily energy-related, were slightly higher than the prior year.
Concrete gross profit was $3 million compared to a loss of $6 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Last year's second quarter results included the Company's Florida concrete business that was sold in the first quarter of 2014. On a same-store basis, volume and pricing improved, driven primarily by increased private construction activity, while gross profit increased $3 million.
The Company's cement business was also sold in the first quarter along with the Florida concrete assets. The Company retained its calcium products business that is included in its Cement segment. This business reported second quarter revenues of $2.2 million and gross profit of $0.8 million, both slightly better than the prior year.
2014 OutlookRegarding the Company's outlook, Mr. Hill stated, "Growth in the private end markets continues to drive increased construction activity and demand for our products. Leading indicators, such as housing starts, nonresidential contract awards and employment, continue to show favorable above-average growth trends in Vulcan-served markets. These factors underpin our full year aggregates shipment forecast of a 7 to 9 percent increase in 2014. This volume growth, coupled with the continuing improvement in unit profitability, supports our expectations for strong earnings leverage and margin expansion – and we remain focused on achieving these expectations.
"We are maintaining our outlook for full year freight-adjusted aggregates pricing to improve 3 to 5 percent from the prior year. The overall pricing outlook for our aggregates products continues to improve with the recovery in demand for construction materials. As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we expect continuing margin improvement driven by price growth, operating leverage, and other cost controls.
"In our Concrete and Asphalt segments, we have realized improvements in unit profitability, as measured by materials margin. We expect continued growth in private construction activity to benefit volumes and prices, leading to higher unit profitability in both our Concrete and Asphalt segments. Overall, we expect our non-aggregates gross profit to be $40 to $50 million for the full year, compared to $14 million in 2013.
"Selling, administrative and general (SAG) expenses are expected to be in line with the prior year, allowing us to leverage our overhead structure to expected higher sales.
"Our confidence in a sustained multi-year recovery in aggregates demand continues to grow. Our markets are recovering off trough levels of demand and are outpacing the rest of the U.S. To support the anticipated increased level of shipments, and to further improve our production costs and operating efficiencies, we now project capital spending for 2014 to be approximately $240 million.
"Our second quarter and first half results demonstrate the broadening recovery of our markets and the benefits of the Company's powerful earnings leverage. Comparing the first half of 2014 to the first half of 2013, Adjusted EBITDA grew $45 million, or 27 percent, on a 9 percent increase in net sales. We expect to continue to deliver strong gains in earnings because of increasing demand in Vulcan-served markets.
"We are excited about our future as the leading aggregates supplier in the U.S. We remain focused on further improving the profitability of our existing businesses, strategically expanding our unmatched asset base to serve the needs of our customers, and continuing our disciplined management of capital."

Has anyone successfully installed on Mandrake?
I have MySQL already on my server, does the installation routine play nice with an existing and in use installation of MySQL? Not a big deal if it shuts it down briefly, but just don't want to have current databases overwritten or something.
The demo site is very impressive, I've been contemplating deploying MS Exchange as our collaboration envirionment at work. This is looking VERY attractive. I hope to exeperiment a bit with Zimbra on my paintball team's DogsOfWorr.com server and then possibly deploy at my company. Will commercial installation and maintenance contracts be available for such a deployment?

The auto-save didn't work so I had to rewrite this entire thing.
I need a map for a city in my D&D Campaign. It's a port city sitting on the intersection of an upside down Y shaped river. The city is in the crook of the Y with the docks facing North. The city was built 250 years ago. Originally cosntructed by dwarves the docks and much of the buildings are placed on the water. The city is like Venice except for a cliff to the south. The city has been built at an incline up to the top of the cliff. The Redman family has constructed a large mansion at the top of the cliff. They have ruled this city for the past four years ever since the Great War displaced the old noble family. They have done an excellent job rebuilding the city after the war and the only damaged area of the city is in the eastern part of the city. The family has tried time and again to rebuild this area, but the thieves guild has undermined their efforts every time. A large military headquarters occupies one of the wards along the western side of the city. Constructed after the war around 5% of the population is conscripted into the guard.
Three temples are in this town:
-The first is to Sarenrae. It was partially damaged during the way. Unfortuantly a heavy tax on healing magic has rendered this temple a shadow of it's former self. Missing windows and faded plundered mosaics are all that is left of this once great temple. The few priestesses who still remain forlornly guard this temple as it decays into a ruin.
-The second temple is to the goddess Shelyn. Located near the market square this temple doubles as a lawful brothel. It has gone through a rough scrape with the law recently and has seen a reduced number of customers. Still beautifully constructed it still maintains a political presence.
-The final church was built by the Redman family when they took power. Dedicated to the god of law and merchants Abadar, it has undergone rabid expansion in the past two years. Now a sprawling complex it doubles as a center of spiritual guidance and a university for up and coming merchants.
This city is seperated into 12 wards that are seperated by slightly larger canals or openings in the ground. The city has expanded onto the ground over the cliff and has started cosntructing a wall for protection near the cliffside.
A perspective either looking towards the city and cliff or topdown is preferred. This is a medieval city.
A high quality is desired beacause I will need to print this out to show for the DnD Session. Although I do realize that this is an unpaid job and I will settle for whatever can be done.
Haste is desired, but again, because of time constraints it's fine if it takes two or even three weeks.

After upgrading to 7.1.1 P2 we are having an issue with messages that have external image links. Upon opening the message we get the yellow bar that says "External images are not displayed. Display Images - Always display images sent from domain.com or email@example.com".
This only occurs when using the Advanced web client with the display set as HTML in the user preferences. If I use the basic client or switch the display to Text the message opens. If I go to preferences and check the "Display pictures automatically in HTML Email" option the yellow bar disappears but I am left with only a blank message.
Does anyone have any ideas? This is happening in both Firefox 5.0.1 and IE 8.

great chocolate favor, will make again
Used 3oz Baker's chocolate and about 3-4oz dark chocolate chunks for the recipe, based on availability. Certainly not lacking in chocolate flavor, even with less than the recommended amount! Flavor was better after chilling overnight than while still warm the night it was made. Popular at the office and very simple if you already have a crust made.
