Race became an issue Tuesday at the tax-evasion trial of an influential Cook County commissioner after the defense complained there were no black men in an initial jury pool and asked for it to be dismissed.
William Beavers, who is black, has pleaded not guilty to diverting more than $225,000 from campaign funds to feed a gambling habit and for other personal use without reporting it from 2006 through 2008.
Just after an initial pool of 50 would-be jurors took an oath early Tuesday afternoon and left the federal courtroom in Chicago, defense attorney Victor Henderson rose to note the absence of black men among them.
"To our astonishment, there is not one African-American male ... and only a few black women," he said. Beavers, 78, has a right to be judged by a jury of his peers, including black men, Henderson added.
Outside court later, another defense attorney, Sam Adam Sr., went further, saying he had never seen a jury pool without at least one African-American male in his more than 50 years practicing in federal court.
"This is outrageous," he told reporters. "It could not happen by accident. This is all rigged someplace."
Afterward, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Chicago declined comment.
Given Chicago's demographics, Henderson argued in court earlier that randomness should have led, at a minimum, to three black men and three black women in the 50-person pool.
Judge James Zagel agreed it was unusual to not have a single black man in such a pool. He delayed a final ruling on the matter, but he also made it clear he was highly unlikely to agree to dismiss the entire jury pool.
Jury-pool selection is supposed to be random, and Zagel told attorneys they could take time to investigate jury-office selection procedures to ensure it was random in Beavers' case.
But he said it was entirely plausible a randomly selected pool would include no black males. If it's found the process was done correctly, he said he would have no authority to dismiss the pool based on race.
Adam said later that Beavers' legal team was resigned the pool remaining intact.
"We have no option ... We have to go ahead," he said.
Before adjourning in the evening, Zagel said he'd push ahead questioning prospective jurors after questioning 24 Tuesday; his goal was to question the remaining 26 on Wednesday, then proceed straight to openings Wednesday afternoon.
By federal law, courts and attorneys during jury selection are barred from objecting to individual jurors based on race — though courtroom adversaries often accuse each other of doing that.
It is rarer for attorneys to object to the jury pool itself as jury selection begins, as in this case, and before the court even questioned would-be jurors one by one.
While the case otherwise focuses on dry tax issues, it has attracted so much attention, in part, from the prospect that the old school politician with his shoot-from-the-hip swagger could testify.
He is known for crude if memorable rhetorical flourishes, the most famous of which came when he once offered a favorable estimation of his own prowess, calling himself "a hog with big nuts."
His lawyers have argued his is essentially a case of no harm, no foul — that he paid back the money at issue and amended his returns, albeit after he learned he was under investigation in 2009.
In all, Beavers has pleaded not guilty to four tax counts. If convicted, he faces a maximum three-year prison term on each count.

[1]Sir Richard Branson just completed a stint as a flight attendant on a rival air carrier … while wearing a skirt and makeup.
Branson — who is often in the news for his antics — served drinks, made flight announcements and greeted passengers on Air Asia X's flight between Perth, Australia, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, CNN reports[2].
The stunt came about because of a bet Branson made with Air Asia X CEO Tony Fernandes. Both Branson and Fernandes bet that their Formula One racing teams would beat the other's. The loser would serve as a flight attendant — wearing a woman's uniform and makeup — on one of the winner's planes.
After losing, Branson stepped up and performed his duties on the special charity flight. While he did shave his legs — at a cocktail party the night before — Branson did keep his signature mustache and beard.
The event raised almost $200,000 for the Starlight Children's Foundation.

Community Support
As our company grows and thrives, we are committed to positively impacting our communities and providing support to help them flourish. To uphold this commitment our charitable efforts focus solely on two areas – youth development and hunger.
The majority of our employees are under the age of 18 and we would like to better their lives before and during their employment. As such, we support organizations that are working to teach the following skills: literacy, leadership, communication, responsibility, and resourcefulness.
We believe magic happens when people and food come together. We also believe everyone should enjoy this simple pleasure, so we will support organizations who aim to create this opportunity whenever and wherever possible. More specifically, we give to groups that provide food for those affected by hunger.
Our charitable efforts are broken up into three categories: In-Kind, Volunteer Time, and Grants.
Dion's frequently provides support to organizations in the form of food or gift cards. Please direct in-kind donation requests less than $100 to the General Manager of your local Dion's. General Managers may deny or accept requests at their discretion. Larger requests may be directed to Nicole Marquez or Grant Condon at 505-858-1010.
On a quarterly basis, Dion's employees volunteer their time to local organizations to help with various projects. Ideal volunteer activities are a one-time event that can support a group of 15-30 volunteers. Weekend activities are preferred but not required. If interested in coordinating a group of Dion's volunteers, please contact Nicole Marquez at email@example.com. Due to the unique nature of our volunteer program, we require at least eight weeks' notice to coordinate volunteer activities.
On an annual basis, we award grants to a handful of organizations. This enables the selected organizations to make a larger impact on the populations they serve, while enabling Dion's to take a stand and make a difference on youth development and hunger.
The grant selection process begins in June for the upcoming fiscal year. Dion's has already selected the groups we will be supporting for our 2018 fiscal year and will not be accepting new grant requests for the 2018 fiscal year. To apply for a grant for our 2019 fiscal year, please fill out the following form and email the form to Nicole Marquez at firstname.lastname@example.com and Grant Condon at email@example.com by June 30, 2018.
For the 2018 Fiscal Year, Dion's has supported the following organizations:
The Food Depot has a vision of healthy, hunger-free communities Northern New Mexico. As the food bank for nine counties, The Food Depot provides food to over 145 nonprofit agencies including food pantries, meal programs, shelters, youth programs, shelters, and senior centers.

Project Angel Heart is a 501c3 nonprofit that delivers nutritious meals to improve quality of life, at no cost, for those coping with life-threatening illnesses. The people that receive our meals are mothers, fathers, grandparents, friends and children that are living with cancer, kidney disease, HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening illnesses. In 2016 we plan to deliver over 64,000 meals, free of charge, to 565 critically ill Colorado Springs residents.
New Day Youth & Family Services provides provides safety, skills, and support to youth in our community. Thousands of youth (ages 13-22) in Albuquerque are homeless and countless more are disconnected from family and community supports. Their services help youth gain stability and create a pathway to a future without homelessness. New Day's services include a youth homeless shelter, a transitional living program, and a Life Skills Academy. The Life Skills Academy is open to all youth ages 16-22 who are interested in learning skills that include job interviewing, creating healthy relationships, and financial literacy.
Meals on Wheels of Albuquerque helps people live happy, healthy, independent lives by delivering food and friendship straight to our clients' doors.

This non-profit organization has programs for children of all ages to assist in raising animals, growing crops, exploring outdoors and enriching the community. Their vision is to "cultivate healthy children today so they will harvest a healthy society tomorrow."
Horizons is a non-profit organization offering enrichment programs to transform the lives of students caught in the achievement gap – giving them the tools and support to become successful and confident college-bound students.
The APS (Albuquerque Public Schools) Education Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization established for promoting private support of the district and its students.

Specifically, Dion's has provided funds to support A is for Art and STEM programs.
Dion's has already selected the groups we will be supporting this year and will not be accepting any new community support requests. As we consider organizations for future giving opportunities, we will reach out to those organizations personally.
We are grateful to all organizations that do great work in a wide range of need-based areas in the communities we serve.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & goodroi
My site was doing very well in the SERPs. For over 2 years it had been on the first page for a competitive term (1.2 million listings). Then during the first week in January my site disappeared and traffic tanked for no obvious reason.
When searching for "site:www.mydomain.com" I noticed that my index page often wasn't listed or it appeared on about page 3 or 4 of the results after all my supplimental pages.
A search for "allinurl:mysite.com" often didn't show my index page at all but instead showed somebody else's domain (located in Turkey). When I clicked on this link, my site came up. When I clicked on the cached version of the site, it showed a very old cache of the page. This same site also showed up after all my results when doing a "site:www.mydomain.com"
Using a header checker tool on the site's URL I was able to see it was using a 302 link to my site.
Last night after reading some posts by crobb305 and others I went to Google.com and clicked on "About Google." Then I clicked on "Webmaster Info." Then I clicked on "I need my site information removed." Then I clicked on "remove individual pages." Where I found instructions on how to remove the page.
(Here's the exact page where I ended up. If mod needs to remove then snip away:) [google.com...]
I then clicked on the "urgent" link.
1. I signed up for an account with Google and replied back to them from an email they sent me;
2. I added the "noindex" meta tag according to their instructions and uploaded it to my site;
3. Using the instructions to remove a single page from the Google index, I added the hijacker's URL that was pointing to my site. (copy and paste from the result found on "allinurl" search)
This didn't work the first time because I had to remove a space from the url to get it to work.
4. I got a message back saying that the request would be taken care of within 24 hours. The URL that I entered showed on the uppper right hand part of the screen saying "removal of (hijacker's url)pending."
5. I then removed the "noindex" meta tag from my page and re-uploaded it to my site.
This morning the google account still shows the url removal as "pending" but when I do "site:" and "allinurl" searches the offending URL is gone and my index URL is back.
Conclusions and Speculations:
At some point last September, Google cached the hijack page's url pointing to my site. In January, Google penalized my site for duplicate content because it found both URL's and compared them. Mine got penalized because it was the only page that really existed. The hijacker's page didn't get penalized because it only existed as a re-direct to my site.
Because my index page was now penalized, it dropped almost completely from the SERPs. (Some of my suppliement pages showed up for obscure searches) but none of my money terms.
Because I haven't been able to get a response from the hijacker's webmaster, the 302 is still in place but it is buried deep in his site and the last Google cache of the page was sometime in September. Therefore with some luck Google won't re-index it any time soon.
Will my site return to the SERPs? I don't know. Any thoughts?
If we put up a noarchive the 302 can't hijack your cache because good ole Google doesn't store it anymore. Unless they do it before the tag goes up.
I had noarchive on all my pages and that didn't stop a multitude of redirects and stolen content. I took it back off so I can make a COPY of Google's cache so I have a 3rd party witness when I find stolen content.
I realy hope yahoo,wisenut,MSN gets more popular, they do get more visits here the last years time, hope the best.
GoogleGuy has a big 302 explanation post on \. today:
Looked more like PR damage control than an explanation.
I was pretty skeptical about the 302 hijacking claims until I actually saw a couple of them. What appears to be happening seems fairly obvious to me and I wouldn't expect it to have anything to do with canonical pages, it looks like a plain and simple BUG, but I could be wrong.
The real problem is how Google handles inquiries about hijacked sites. Google should just FIX the links as reported, not telling people to go chasing after the other web site and begging them to remove your listing, assuming you can find them in the first place and they even read your email.
Very bad support policies, very bad PR situation, they will either learn quickly or someone will step up to the plate and take their business away.

Googleguy seems to have a problem with his own communication skills and doesn't really seem to fully understand the problem personally
I am not going to defend Google per se, because I am very frustrated that my site is still MIA since tracker2s/302 took over in May 2004. But Googleguy has been very helpful here for years. It's sad that he has gone silent...perhaps under pressure from Google, or because of numerous insults from this forum.

I agree that GG doesn't seem to get it at all. And based on his comments in that other forum, I am not encouraged about G's commitment to fixing this anytime soon.
GG says that the sites that are getting hijacked are spammer sites about viagra and texas hold em! He seems to think that only spammers get hijacked and so he graciously offered amnesty to them if they report the problem -- he's talking about amnesty for the hijacked, not the hijackers!
Meanwhile the index pages of two of my sites are duplicated in the SERPs, one for me and one for the hijackers (which I can't remove because one is a dead account sans 404, the other is a 302 backed up by a metarefresh=0).
Most people are probably oblivious to the hijacking problem though. They might know that their sites have tanked but they have no idea why. Some of the more enlightened people might be aware of GG's �canonicalpage� instructions but they are not all willing to submit their handiwork directly to Google engineers for examination.
Anyway, back to the search for a solution. I have a few things that change on their own, such as the date and a random quote. It apparently isn't enough, however, because I'm the victim of multiple hijackings. Does anyone have any clever ways to automatically randomize pages?
<meta name="basecontent" value="mysite.com">
Then whenever google indexes a page it knows what the main site is and all 302s will be invalidated.
It's that simple isn't it?
Google is our business partner; theyre a lot bigger than me and I can't afford to alienate them. I really wish the negativity, the spreading of rumours and the unfounded accusations would stop. GoogleGuy seems to be helpful but each time he/she/they show up there's this deluge of complaining. We should really be having a constructive discussion about how to improve things.
I was pretty skeptical about the 302 hijacking claims until I actually saw a couple of them.
Being, you might say, a little involved in this issue today, I was pretty sceptical about 302 hijacking claims till I discovered 30 or 40 of them, and that I could zap the ****'s that were doing it to me ;)
Anyway, back to the serious issue. As the gentleman "claiming" to be Googleguy says in his SlashDot post
it often boils down to wanting to choose the url with the most reputation. PageRank is a pretty good proxy for reputation, and incorporating PageRank into the decision for the canonical url helps to choose the right url
I am deeply grateful to him for that post, this gets to the very core of the problem. One can only deduce from this thata scraper site that can afford to buy links(come on Google, you know a lot of them are), and hence PR, can then bang on the 302's and that their site will grow and yours (if it has less PR) will shrink to nothing.
Hence Google, the problem! Tell me if I am wrong.

I'm all for being objective and looking on the bright side. Thing is, GG has not commented HERE regarding this issue. He posted in another forum today (if that's really him, cuz the more I think about how stupid and insulting his comments were, I think it must be a fake).
Assuming the comments are from the genuine GG, I'm not sure why you are interested in having G implement a new tag to fix this 'problem.' According to GG this situation only effects 30 spammy web sites about viagra. If your premise is that G is communicating in a open, honest manner, then the situation as described by GG is really no problem at all.
So, the spammers put that tag on their site too and where does that leave you?
They can't because its a 302 so they cant change the content.
why you are interested in having G implement a new tag to fix this 'problem.' ... If your premise is that G is communicating in a open, honest manner, then the situation as described by GG is really no problem at all.
I'm not prepared to believe google isn't taking this seriously. They'll probably start to refrain from informal communications with the field through "googleguy" because the forums and blogs are simply pushing them in a defensive position where they have to do damage control and have lawyers and politicians write their communications. I don't want to see that happen and hopefully google can find some way to continue informal communications.

I also think G is working on it -- another reason that that GG post seems bogus to me. Stuff going on behind the scenes has my site going up and down like a yo-yo. Seems like there's a dark force trying to drag me down and some unknown agent snatching me from the jaws of complete obscurity.
Ever noticed how hard it is to type with your fingers crossed?
it often boils down to wanting to choose the url with the most reputation. PageRank is a pretty good proxy for reputation, and incorporating PageRank into the decision for the canonical url helps to choose the right url
See, that's a load of happy horse droppings if I ever heard it.
Come on GoogleGuy, Page Rank hasn't got a thing to do with content ownership. If I write and publish a page, it's MY page and nobody else's reputation or page rank should outrank my content, especially when a specific search should only pull up my content, just because they link to me and have better PR.
If that's how Google truly works then it's flawed from the bottom up.
I just watched my site hit the serps for a "my company name" search for the 1st time since Feb 2nd. It's in almost all data centers now. Will be interesting to see if I start getting traffic again.
I am seeing the same thing. For the first time in 9 months, my site is showing up at position 1 or 2 for its name (mydomain) on a few datacenters. Before this past weekend my site was showing at position 65 or higher. Furthermore, if I seach snippets of my content my site is showing up #1 on those same datacenters, whereas before I was in the supplemental basket. My site is not showing up for any search terms yet, but these are some good signs.
If that's how Google truly works then it's flawed from the bottom up.
From everything I see concerning 302's there is no doubt that their algo is flawed. Most of the crap that is at the top of the serps is there because of 302's The reason they are having a hard time admitting to a problem is because their whole palace is built upon the premise that links are supreme to page rank, position, and relevancy. Of course if you have the links who cares what the content on the page is.
That's the way the algo now works.
To admit that people have now figured out how to exploit their dream, is an admission that the whole house of cards can be dealt from under the table. They will never admit that, they will just play around with the algo and hope it all goes away.
Sad to see a once great search engine reduced to what it now is.
I submitted the clear example to the address GoogleGuy posted that same day. That was over a month ago.
About a week ago I made the one change to the domain (that I should have had in place previously) that was among the things suggested in one of these darn threads (absolute links, redirect non-www to www, etc.).
The domain now appears on all datacenters (though ranking waaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than before).
I don't know if there is something unique in my situation, but I would suggest people take all those steps, plus use the URL removal tool when possible. Perhaps there is hope.
I'd also add that it would seem to make sense to self-link all your pages.
This ain't rocket science folks.
I know several middle school kids years ago who could have figured it out.
Canonical url I never realy got what that ment.
If there are two pages URLa and URLb, Google would cache, index, and rank both of them. If one provided a normal link to the other then it would "pass" some PR too. Both could appear in SERPs.
If URLa provided a 301 redirect to URLb then I would assume that just the URL for URLa would be stored internally in Google, and marked as being a redirect. I also assume that URLa would be dropped from the SERPs for the period that it returned that status, and that URLa would be respidered occasionally to see what its status was. The content residing at URLb would be spidered and indexed and would appear in the SERPs with the URL for URLb against it. If at any time URLa went 404 then it would be dropped from the index, likewise URLb.
If URLa did a 302 redirect to URLb, then this is a temporary redirect. URLa is saying that the content temporarily resides at URLb. There is no reason to include URLa in the search results though. Google could quite easily include URLb in the results with its associated content being cached and indexed. However, Google could also keep an internal note that it had been redirected from URLa, and if the status of URLb ever changed from 200 to 404 then Google would know to go back to URLa and ask it for the new location of the information. That is, Google "remembers" URLa as being the starting point for the 302 redirect but does NOT show URLa in the SERPs as there never was any content AT that location.
Does this make sense? What flaws would there be in that?
Having a third party cache in Googel when Google doesn't care if you have been hijacked or not seems hardly worth it.
When you are writing the hosting company, after contacting the copyright theif to no avail, to tell them their client is breaking copyright infringement rules (that every host must uphold or loose their license) then having Google's cache of original content will dispell any he-said, she-said arguments.
I've gotten a site totally removed more than once when there is 3rd party evidence.
About a week ago I made the one change to the domain (that I should have had in place previously) that was among the things suggested in one of these darn threads (absolute links, redirect non-www to www, etc.).
Thats exactly what I ended up doing along with severly changing my homepage content and I'm in the SERPS today.
It's like you having to opt-in in case you want to secure your site's rightful position in Google SERP's. It should be: if you don't care about how Google index your site, then you could proactively opt-out of fair treatment. Hijacking is not a SEO problem. Google created this mess and Google must solve it.
On second thought, I can't bring myself to post how I think this is actually being done. But, I don't think 302 hijack happens as a *general* rule from normal non-malicous use of 302's such as from normal tracking script use.
Normally there is no problem with a normal use of a 302 tracking script, although several people have reported that a high PR page can hijack a low PR.
The real 302 hijack is more sinister and purposefull.
A tracking script does a 302 redirect but not at your homepage.
It points to a blank page with a 0 second META refresh pointing at your page. Google is assigning your PR to that blank page. That is the type I have pointing at me. I'm having dark thoughts recently about studying hacking tecniques and open proxys and stuff.

Lucene Fields:New, Patch Available
I think it's useful if we have a top-level jar-src which generates source jars for all modules. One can basically do that by iterating through the directories and calling 'ant jar-src' already, so this is just a convenient way to do it. Will attach a patch shortly.
- All
- Comments

Simple patch for Lucene modules only, since they already support jar-src.
I was worried that lucene-codecs src jar wouldn't be built – in my mind it's in the same category as core and test-framework: an internal module – but it's pulled in by the modules-crawl macro, which runs over all sub-directories with build.xml except build/, core/, test-framework/, and tools/.
I'll make another patch for Solr and the top-level build.xml.
This patch incorporates Shai's Lucene patch, and adds Solr and top-level jar-src targets.
I also took the opportunity to fix up Solr's jar-src specialization (needed for Solr-specific manifest entries) to be like Lucene's: the ${build.dir} is created, and the module's src/resources/** are included (only solr-uima and solr-langid have these at this point).
I think it's ready to go - if you like, Shai, I can commit.
Thanks, looks good! Especially as the resources are now in the source JAR, which is done by the maven archiver plugin, too.
Thanks also for adding the info text on top-level build, so ant prints it in the usage help.
Looks good Steve. Feel free to commit. I'm not sure I'll be able to today.

A dime is silver and hard and cold and small.
"And it has a face of somebody," said 8-year-old Sarah Joyce.
"They're very useful for buying things."
For five days, Joyce and her third-grade classmates at White Bluff Elementary School have collected the coins for terrorist tragedy relief -- $1,830 worth.
They named their campaign "Dimes for Disaster" and each morning asked students, teachers and school workers to chip in if they could.
Some dropped pennies and nickels. Others threw in checks.
"Collecting was fun," Joyce said. "You get to hold the basket and see how much money people will donate for other people."
Their teacher, Jane Anderson, will haul the silver to the American Red Cross Savannah Chapter to add to the nearly $55,300 donated to the agency for disaster relief in the last week.
"We're still counting," said Liz Longshore, a Red Cross spokeswoman.
"Going through our fund-raisers' office is like sifting through a mail bag that's been dumped out. By the time we have everything straightened out, the mailman's come again."
Some donations came from independent donors. Children emptied piggy banks and a couple gave their $600 tax refund.
Other donations came from corporate-sponsored Red Cross drives at the mall and in the streets.
The money will be used for shelters, mental health counseling, feeding emergency workers and caring for families affected by the terror, Longshore said.
Along with money, the chapter has sent two Red Cross volunteers and two staff members up North to serve.
Volunteer Bill Furey, a Savannah psychologist, is providing mental health support in New Jersey.
Karen Avert, a volunteer from Screven County, was dispatched to Washington, D.C., working in logistics.
And Tiffany Fell, the Savannah chapter's public support associate, was sent to New York as the media liaison between the press and affected families.
She will be joined by Tina Spivey, director of health and safety at the American Red Cross Savannah Chapter, who headed to New York today for a 3-week tour of duty.
Spivey, a Metter resident, helped during the Midwest floods, the Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles, Hurricane Hugo and Hurricane Georges in Puerto Rico.
"I expect to be in the family crisis center in New York City, coordinating the activities for families," Spivey said Tuesday. "To ensure they have their needs met."
Spivey has served the Red Cross for more than 20 years.
"When you decided to do Red Cross work, it's in you to know you have to help when people are in distress. I've been trained in the proper skills and, in whatever small way, I want to do my best to relieve some of their suffering."
Spivey left behind her husband, George, their son and daughter-in law and their two grandchildren.
Spivey also has been caring for her mother-in-law and her mother and has made provisions for their care while she's away.
But not everyone can give their physical energy on site.
So Anderson, the teacher, had youngsters use their energy to help in other ways.
For 9-year-old Will Broome, fundraising works well with a sense of humor and manners.
"If they don't have money, just say, 'Oh, OK, thank you anyways,' " Broome said. "You don't act like that's bad."
Sabrina Lowery said it was scary talking in front of a class full of peers. "Because they stare at you," the 8-year-old said.
"Even though I collect money, I still give money," she said.
"I want to help people and find them a great place to stay for awhile."
Faith reporter Ann Stifter may be reached at 652-0332.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
Made from high quality spandex. I patterned it from scratch.
♥~Hair Clips~♥
I sculpted and cast the flower portion of the clip and I hand bent very thick brass wire for the large petals and then attached them all together. I then Rub 'n Buffed everything so that the colors would match.
- Personal Thoughts:
- I had sudden inspiration to make this right before RAH MGM Mami figure was released. I had this cosplay on my list of possibilities since I had seen the movies for the first time back in Oct 2012 at one of the NYC screenings.
I had the sudden realization that in my leftover fabric that I had everything I needed & more importantly enough of everything I needed. I patterned it from scratch and completed constructing it in a little over a weekend.
I do not consider it 100% yet since I'm unsure what type of bottoms she's wearing since I had some pretty poor references to work from for that part. Also forgive the lack of HQ pics, I'm waiting until I'm sure about the bottoms to take any proper pictures. ^^;

Hi,I've been trying to get a good virtual domain system working for a while now (MTA and IMAP). In my most recent attempt I followed the instruction on this page:http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/t1.htmlThe only thig I did different is I used all the standard woody debs instead of installing from src (exept for the web-cyradm). Everything installed fine, the only error I get is when I try to add the following line to imapd.conf:sasl_pwcheck_method: pam
anyway, when I try to start imapd it tells me it doesn't understand that line, and pukes. If I comment out that line the web-cryadm works fine, I can add domains and users... but when I try to authinicate to the imap server it tells me my login info is wron.
Do you have any suggesstions? Or, is there a better MTA/IMAP virtual domain solution that you think would be easier to setup on my woody box?

Comedy night featuring top acts from the national circuit, followed by club till 3:00am. Food available. Listings are subject to change. See www.boatshowcomedy.co.uk for further information.
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Nathan Caton
Nathan is a young black British comic, gigging on both the mainstream and black comedy circuit. His set is highly obsevational, influenced by his culture and upbringing, and also coming from a young person's outlook on life, from the well-known Nigerian traffic warden and the always-disciplining West-Indian mother, to MTV's Pimp my Ride.
'Excellent story-telling skills keep the crowd easily entertained' (Three Weeks).
'Caton is probably the most exciting young black comic on the scene' (Fest Magazine).
'Caton's a slick performer with an unbeatable stage attitude and the confident air of someone much more experienced' (Chortle).
'Compelling, well-observed stand-up... He specialises in laidback, on-the-nose material, chopping down fools of all colours, both in day-to-day life and in the media' (The Guardian).
Nathan Caton was named in Ents24's top 20 hardest-working comedians of 2015.
Nathan Caton tour dates
Adam Bloom
One of the most sought-after acts in the country. Perrier Award Nominee and Polygram Award winner for best stand-up at the Edinburgh Festival. Undoubtedly one of Britain's sharpest comic brains - all this and he doesn't swear.
'He's been one of my favourite stand-ups for about ten years (Ricky Gervais)
'In the premier league of comedy' (The Independent)
'He makes me laugh out loud, I can't wait to see him live' (Sir Ian McKellen)
'Bloom is perhaps the perfect comedian' (The List).
Adam Bloom tour dates
Loretta Maine
Psycho-intense singer-songwriter Loretta Maine makes Courtney Love look well-balanced. This pill-popping, booze-abusing, bunny-boiling car-crash of a rock star has been the most memorable creation of talented character comic Pippa Evans to date, and is now promoted to both her own show and her own band, Dog Vagina.
'Funniest show yet, with miserable songs with superbly witty lyrics' (Time Out)
'Murderously funny' (Evening Standard)
'Fabulously talented... Her brilliantly realized comedy shows maturity well beyond her years... Her psychotic yet sexy American singer is a thing of hysterical beauty (Time Out)
'Beautifully bitter lyrics... Truly impressive one-liners... inspired, quotable pearls of wisdom... Fine comic writing underpins her flawless, perfectly timed performance
She's a relative newcomer, but has certainly got the talent for a sustained and stellar career in comedy (Chortle)
'Like Dolly Parton seen through the lens of Mike Leigh... she performs brilliantly
observed songs about love, loss and violent revenge (The Guardian).
Loretta Maine tour dates
Dave Ward
Welsh punster and resident MC at The Hawth Comedy Club.
'A friendly, upbeat comic with a cynicism that gives his comedy a unique gentle bite' (Pontardawe Arts Centre).

I hate the NBCSports webpage … it's full of really good content, but that good content is usually buried deep in the bowels of the page, guarded by a dragon. Case in point this 6 part diary from Kenny Florian regarding his time in Afghanistan cheering up troops and avoiding camel spiders.
Sure, it reads a little like a grade 6 journal entry but what were you expecting from an ultimate fighter? To be fair, he was over there with Amber Nicole Miller, and if she was around I would just end up writing "The trip is really breasts, although the weather is sweaty thighs vulva sucking titty assride." Fortunately Kenny's gay or something, because he managed to stay on topic:
The bazaar was pretty interesting as we did some good old Afghani haggling. One particular elderly Afghani actually tried to cheat Heath Herring and Jorge Rivera out of more money for taking pictures on his camel. Out of all the people to cheat, he chose two big and dangerous UFC fighters. Ultimately, it all worked out and justice prevailed.
This old guy must have seen Heath's fight against Jake O'Brien and figured the worst he'd get is a very stern laying on. I'm glad justice prevailed in this case, because the whole 'invading the middle east and losing thousands of soldier's lives' thing was starting to make me think justice may not be on our side anymore.
NOTE: NBCSports is such a shitty site, they've already taken down all but the last entry by Kenny. Biased liberal conspiracy? Or are they just making room for more useless garbage on darts and lawn bowling? I'll let you decide. Fortunately, Google has caches of all the pages so here they are:

circ.cppCode:#ifndef CIRC_H #define CIRC_H #ifndef POINTC_H #define POINTC_H #include "point.h" #endif class circ:public point { public: // Constructors // Methods and Variables protected: // More variables }; #endif
I get the errorsCode:#include "circ.h" // Methods
- c:\users\john\documents\visual studio 2005\projects\ogl3\ogl3\point.h(19) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'circ'
- c:\users\john\documents\visual studio 2005\projects\ogl3\ogl3\circ.h(10) : error C2504: 'point' : base class undefined
as well as some other errors similar to this. I think it probably has something to do with the fact that both the circ and point classes need to include each other, but unfortunately I don't know how to fix this problem.
Exact instructions on how to resolve this problem are the most important thing here,
but I also think the problem comes because I don't really have a good idea of what exactly including files does and how exactly all the files are parsed. I just know that if a file needs to use a certain class or method, you have to include its header file, but debugging problems with it is really difficult for me, so some explanations as to what the linker and compiler are actually doing would be nice.

Thank you for your feedback.
Resolving as external, the behavior described is not limited to IE, looks like something OS-wide introduced in Win8. The bug describes screen capture not working, if there are repro steps around screen capture not working specific to IE please re-open this bug. We do extra work to allow the content of the page to come through on screen captures, there has been work in IE10 and IE11 around this and it's entirely possible we changed something that broke your screen capture scenario and the Spy++ behavior is just a red herring.

Under the Radar
By Kevin Payne
RotoWire Staff Writer
Many colleges seem to produce players who succeed at certain positions, no matter the sport. Penn State has the nickname of "Linebacker U," boasting the likes of Mother Dunn, Shane Conlan and LaVar Arrington. In recent history, USC and Purdue seem to know how to produce NFL caliber quarterbacks - Matt Leinart, Carson Palmer, Matt Cassel, Drew Brees and Kyle Orton. The mecca of college basketball is no different. UCLA has provided its share of dominant big men - Alcindor, Walton, Eaton and this year's rookies Kevin Love and Luc Mbah a Moute. Connecticut has graced the NBA with shooting guards - Rudy Gay, Ben Gordon, Rip Hamilton and Ray Allen. So who is the best school in recent years for point guards? I give you the Lone Star State's own: the University of Texas. Over the last eight years, Texas have become the premier point guard producing college. Here are the last four point guards from the Longhorns: D.J. Augustin, Royal Ivey, Daniel Gibson and T.J. Ford. While Augustin and Ford are the only current NBA starters in the group, it's pretty remarkable that the last four point guards from the same college are playing in the NBA in any capacity. The latest Texas product, D.J. Augustin, is highlighted in the Minutes portion of this article.
Here's the players who have seen an increase in PT over the last week.
D.J. Augustin, PG, CHA - The first-round draft pick out of Texas has been given a big boost in playing time, averaging more than 38 minutes the last four games while Jason Richardson has been out. During these four games, he's averaged 21 points, 6.8 assists and 2.5 three-pointers. Expect Richardson's return this week to cut into his playing time, but count on Augustin to still make a fantasy impact going forward.
Jason Thompson, F, SAC - A player from the team formerly known as the Rochester Royals seems to be highlighted here almost every week. That's what happens, though, with a team in the rebuilding process. Thompson, a rookie, is a key part of the youth movement in Sacramento, arriving from college basketball powerhouse Rider. Prior to dropping a goose egg on Monday, he averaged 14 points and 8.5 boards the previous four games. He was second in the nation last year, pulling down 12.1 boards a game for the Broncs, so the rebounding is for real.
C.J. Miles, G, UTA - Miles has taken advantage of the injuries sustained by the Utah Jazz, which include Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer. Miles has seen his numbers rise to the tune of more than 32.2 minutes and 15.5 points a game over his last four. Williams is expected back this week, but keep an eye on Miles. Most forget he was drafted out of high school, and already has three years of NBA experience under his belt at the ripe old age of 21.
Damien Wilkins, G, OKC - After being mentioned in this article last week, Wilkins benefited from the firing of P.J. Carlesimo as new coach Scott Brooks inserted him into the starting lineup at shooting guard. The darkhorse this week of the Minutes section, Wilkins has seen his minutes jump to 26, 27 and 26 minutes over the last three games, respectively. He'll probably be eating turkey with Gerald and Dominique this week, so the pedigree is there. Wilkins has some upside, so keep an eye on him, especially if you need scoring or three-pointers from the guard position.
Here's our weekly look at players who may be on you waiver wire, waiting to help your team in specific categories.
Russell Westbrook, PG, OKC - The rookie out of UCLA has seen a bump in playing time, which has translated into scoring production. Westbrook has scored 13.6 points, 4.3 assists and 1.7 steals over his last nine games. Learning while on the job, expect Westbrook to maintain and build on these numbers as the season goes on for the rebuilding Thunder.
Maurice Evans, G, ATL - Evans has averaged two three-pointers in his last four games. Hitting 48.9 percent of his treys so far this year, he's attempted 45 threes in 13 games (3.4 attempts per game). Playing with Al Horford, Zaza Pachulia and Marvin Williams, look for Evans to keep getting open looks from downtown.
Larry Hughes, G, CHI - Hughes saw his playing time increase to more than 33 minutes the last three games, and responded by averaging 18 points, four rebounds and 2.6 three-pointers. Luol Deng is set to return this week, but expect Hughes to still see significant minutes for the struggling Bulls. Remember, Hughes averaged 1.5 steals a game last year so the thievery should be there for the Bulls.
Anthony Randolph, F, GS - A definite darkhorse, Randolph played 13, 28 and 19 minutes respectively in his last three games. The irony? The game he played 13 minutes in, he had four blocks while adding two in the each of the 28- and 19-minute games. If he sustains any kind of playing time, he'll help you in this category.
Larry Hughes added small forward eligibility last week, filling in for the injured Luol Deng. Both Adam Morrison and Corey Maggette added power forward status in most leagues.

Legal Question in Family Law in District of Columbia
I am still legally married but we have been separated for 4 years and he is in prison.. We have 2 kids together and for the past year they have been living with their grandparents (I still have custody)due to the fact I have lost everything including my job. I have the opportunity to move out of state and find a job. My question is if I move and bring the kids with me what can he do when he gets out of prison this Nov?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The best thing you can do to protect yourself and your children may be to move as you planned, establish residency in the new state, and then file for divorce. This way the new state will have jurisdiction over the divorce and child custody matters.
You should seek the advice of an experienced family law attorney in the new state as soon as you arrive. In any event, because child custody orders are never permanent, once he gets out of prison, he could seek visitation or custody. However, that new state should have jurisdiction to make the decision on custody/visitation.

Have to say if you wrote to me directly and got no reply then maybe I didnt receive the message from you , both Brant any myself have no memory and I do normally remember , and I personally do try to respond to all customers that contact me directly , whether good or bad , in fact it is something that I take quite seriously .
I am perfectly happy to look into this to set the record straight if you want to resend that message, I would appreciate the opportunity to respond to you.
You can pm me with details as to where you sent and when .
This is all time that could be spent test riding the 456C Evo for general sale.
What wheel size for a JLD?
I was sort of thinking of making a 12in frame in a bit lighter tube gauges to get the weight out a bit, just for kids and calling it it a JLD (Just Like Dad's).
Another vote here, been looking for a new bike for my 10 year old and cannot find a reasonably priced 26er with a tiny frame designed for tiny hands and feet.
Could be onto a winner Brant.

"You can pm me with details as to where you sent and when ."
thats a bit tricky as STW doesn't have a PM function and you haven't posted a email on your profile.
However i wrote to about a year ago, so i won't have a copy of it now. I did copy it to your general/customer service email. and when i phoned trying to get my money back i asked to speak to you, then left a message with my details for you to me.
theres not much to put right anyway, i ordered a FTM carbon frame, paid for it,it arrived with a damaged headtube, some of the bits i ordered with it didn't arrive. after a rather frustating period of chasing px agreed to have it back. Then i waited again for replacement and that arrived with damaged head tube* and damage to the drop outs.
Repeat..... emails, ...phone calls..... etc etc. Money back..... money back please...... CC company. You get the picture.
* to be clear before the haters start,both head tubes were out of shape enough that the top headset bearings would not "drop in" the drop in race's.
thats my story.
I've not had anything but bloody good service from PlanetX. I've bought a few things (frames: Inbred, Summer Season, Ti456 and a C456). Any query I had was swiftly answered (email* or phone).
*Particularly wowed me as MOST online bikeshops neglect email contact (except for Merlin, CRC).
I've had two refunds - One on a cracked Summer season (brant was allover this personally) and one on a new dropper post that I changed my mind on and sent back. Both very quick.
On the phone issue mentioned by the OP- I've never had that. Must definitely be a systems blip.
Can't believe I'm praising Brant
I bought a ridiculously cheap Giro helmet from PX a while back. It developed a minor fault with the ratchet thingy - emailed PX, they asked for a pic, sent them the pic, and they said send the lid, we'll replace. Was all done quickly, email responses within hours, all turned around in a few days.
Don't doubt they've had their issues, but plenty of people have had great service form them.
I'm building up my 5th on one (lurcher) (half price)ive got a pompino(£100 off), macinato(frame & fork £130), ive just built an inbred for the girlfriend (clearance sale) ive had an inbred stolen, on the whole I've had good/fast service with one or two hicups but I've always had patchy service with every single bike shop I have ever shopped with thats why I always now build my own bikes and do all my own wrenching..I don't think on one are any worse than all the rest with customer service but where they are head and shoulders above the rest is value for money and I for one am willing to put up with a bit of patchy customer service for the great money saving offers they provide..long may they prosper..
keep up the good work planet x/on one

I know this is a long overdue post, but two days after we got home, I came down with cellulitis and today, 4 days later, I still feel barely able to type a coherent sentence…
So we are safely home and for the last 5 night we have been able to sleep in our own beds. It was my pillow that I missed the most I think.
We left Dubrovnik after three nights there, and headed north for Split. Because of an oversight when buying car insurance on the way down into Bosnia, we ended up taking a bit of a detour that involved a car ferry, rather than using the usual coastal road that zips across Bosnia.
From there we headed to Split for 2 nights, then started driving home, stopping for a night at a time in Zagreb ( Croatia), Salzburg( Austria), Triesenberg (Liechtenstein) and finally, our old standby, Reims( France). On our way back we also drove through Slovenia and Switzerland. Our children are now quite familiar with the geography of these parts of Europe.
Split is one of the popular seaside towns of Croatia, and is built around the ancient Roman Palace of the Emperor Diocletian, and its bay and port.
We really liked Split and found it less Touristy than Dubrovnik. There are plenty of tourists, of course, but they seem to be less concentrated; maybe there are more local visitors as we certainly didn't hear as much English spoken in the crowds.
The 'Old City' is much smaller and there is also a 'Not So Old' area to wander around as well. We really liked the way the Old and New exist right next door to each other. Split hasn't tried to renovate everything and there are bits of Old Split propped up by newer buildings built right alongside then. Every corner you turn presents you with something different.
There were some cheesy Roman Soldier reenactments, performed in Croatian, but we got the idea. It was quite a sight to see them marching in and out of the ancient ruins though.
We enjoyed exploring both the old and new towns, eating delicious sandwiches, mimicking statues and even spent a quarter of an hour looking at an exhibition of stuffed frogs frozen in various human poses.
What I didn't like was the slippery smooth and uneven cobblestones. I managed to fall over a couple of times; once I took a small child down with me. Only my pride was hurt.
And at least there were plenty of bits of fallen masonry to sit on when that happened.
And as in many places we visited in the Balkans, there was plenty of ice cream to sample.
We stayed in a couple of rooms owned by Apartments Gajeta, which were clean and centrally located, but involved quite a trek with our luggage through the town. We had an apartment for four ( with washing machine-hurray!) and one for two, but while they were close, they weren't in the same building. DH shared with DD2 and I had the others. The first night I shared the sofa bed with DS but it so uncomfortable that I made the girls sleep there the following night; they weren't impressed either. Both apartments had air conditioning, fridges, WiFi and dishwashers but both were on the second floor of some rather steep stairs. My knee didn't like them very much at all, so these apartments would not be suitable for anyone who had major difficulties with stairs.
We only got to spend a couple of nights in Split but would like to spend longer and visit some of the offshore islands, as well as spend more time downtown.

Comments from our readers:
This is a rant for all the people who, from the comfort of their computer screens, enjoying spewing venom, hatefulness and libel into every situation in Augusta.
The UN now has an ambassador for "outer space" affairs. If the UN wants to talk with outerspace, the UN must talk to Washington, D.C.
To the ranter comparing mayor Deke to Queen Elizabeth: Sure, he may not have much authority, but he can still cut ribbons with finesse and make royal proclamations. Maybe he could proclaim me the Duke of Deans Bridge Road.
Republican leader Boehner blames both big parties for current "dysfunction" in government. Why can't he go ahead and admit corruption rather than merely "dysfunction?"
Democrat Roy Barnes "unveils plan to boost state's economy." No politician has ever "boosted" any state's economy other than by cutting the size of government, period. And few modern politicians have any plans to get government out of the way of productive private enterprise. This new "plan" is just more destructive mush from a professional, power-grabbing politician.
GA public school officials keep bragging about various increases in scores on various tests. Now they brag about more kids merely "enrolling" in "advanced" classes. They also brag that these kids are scoring higher in Advanced Placement exams. The highest score one can get is a 5. GA students got a 3. That means these students only made an average of 60, which is a D minus!
This is a rant to the CCBOE. I wonder if the elementary school parents in Columbia County realize their children are being taught by Para-Professionals (Para-Pro) when their teachers are not there. I happen to know this because my wife is a Para-Pro. She has taught her class at least a half-dozen time this year already .
Can someone please explain to me why the Diary of Anne Frank was on the banned books list in Columbia County? You've got to be kidding.
Graduated June 1970, ARC. In the mornings you were asked to close your eyes or do the Lord's Prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. Every day you were in school. Whether you did or not was your personal thing. And guess what? Don't recall having a whole lot of problems. Think about it, dummies.
I would just like to thank Augusta Chronicle for the nice article on Tony Curtis and that beautiful picture on the front page.
If you're upset about the economy, don't go crazy and kill and rob and hurt people. That only makes things worse for you. Just stay calm and somebody, some way, is going to help you.

Pat, I found the original image and now you'll see why I had to do what I did (and not post the original)-http://www.jigidi.com/created.php?id=Z7TC6UX7
Magda, yes, I washed my hands.....finally. I've said this time and time again- some people love to go fast (I used to be one of those people), and others like to take their time and savor the puzzle solving process. There is no right way and wrong way to enjoy solving. Whatever you, or anyone else enjoys most is the "right" way to solve. :-)
My time is usually about double of the top spot, if I am quick that is! But I take so long, because I like to enjoy. (Is that a good enough excuse?) Thank you Wendy. I hope your hands are clean now, otherwise you will spoil the next set ppof planters.
Pat, that's the way I have to look at it too. At least you got to solve this one and you're still on the leader board. :-)Mandy, those little 'details' were all different colors before...but somehow it looked just awful in the test run, so I had to color everything as blocks (as it appears now). And yes, I had to toss in one mismatched pair of hands. :-)
I think you've started a secret kindergarten Wendy - only one of them has got mix and match hands!!! LOL - such a fun puzzle and I love the little details on the squares too!!
Sorry... But at least I got to see/solve this version! :-)))
Sigh. Never mind, I can't find it. :-(
Pat, hold on. I have to show you what I had originally made. It just looks plain awful after Jigidi's compression got done with it so I had to change it. I eventually got it to what it is here now.I'll be back with a link to what I originally made.And I'll bet the JYKelly knew what she/he was doing when choosing that name. ;-)
This is a fabulous design, Wendy, and the hand prints were inspired--or an accident, as you say, in which case there were serendipitous! I guess you'll have to hang a "wet paint" sign on your computer next time.... :-D(I couldn't help giggling over the name currently in first, JYKelly--in Bugosiland, it would be KYJelly.......)!
Of course these were my hand prints, Edie. I was dabbling in the paint, trying to figure out what colors to use, and....well....I forgot to wash my hands.
Are those your little hand prints Wendy? This was really fun and the fact that you didn't duplicate any of the colours and gave us the hand prints helped a lot with solving. Thank, great fun.
Oh, Willy, one of these fine days you'll be on the leader board. I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway. :-)
Great fun puzzle Wendy, 12:52 x big fun,Willy. :-)

Hands-on research
Product Research
Overview: The Celestron X-Cel LX-series eyepieces provide a 60° apparent field of view which will give you an excellent view of the moon, planets, and other celestial objects in the night sky. This eyepiece has a focal length of 2.3mm, and is designed for 1.25" format telescopes.
Optics: This X-Cel LX eyepiece is equipped with 6-element, fully multi-coated optics to create sharper images. The edges of the optics are blackened to increase contrast. The 1.25" insert barrel is threaded, allowing you to use optional filters.
Construction: The eyepiece's body is made of black-anodized aluminum. You can extend the length of the eyepiece by turning it counter-clockwise. For eyeglass wearers, turning the eyepiece all the way clockwise creates a flat surface. The eyepiece features a treaded rubber grip around the center to give you a firm grip, even in wet conditions or if you're wearing gloves.
Parfocal: All of the X-Cel LX-series eyepieces are parfocal, which means as you change eyepieces from the 2.3mm up through the 25mm, you will not need to refocus.
- Focal Length: 2.3mm (0.09")
- Apparent Field of View: 60°
- Eye Relief: 16mm (0.63")
- Barrel Size: 1.25"

No idea
The credit card companies see you as a big credit risk based on your history. They want to limit their risk for the future.
28 People Helped
I have worked in the credit card industry for 8 years, and I have seen people with with 20 plus credit years worth of credit history and $50K plus credit lines reduced to $500. If you have been almost maxed out for a long while, and just paying the minimum, your credit line will most likely be lowered if you pay if off. Here's why: When you pay it off, the bank will probably wait until your payment successfully clears, then they will pull your credit report (soft pull), and when they see you are almost maxed out on other cards, BAM! credit line reduced.
If you cannot pay them all off at the same time, here's what I recommend: Start paying off the ones you do not care to have the lines reduced first, and the one you care about the most, pay off last. Definitely, wait until the less important cards show paid off on all of your reports, before you pay off your highest limit or most important card. That way, when they pull your credit, they'll see zero balances on other cards, as supposed to maxed out, and may leave your credit line alone, or reduce it very little.
If you care about all of your credit lines, there's no way around it, other than paying them off, and keeping your fingers crossed. If your credit lines get reduced, just request a CLI, but make sure all cards have reported little to no balance first.
BTW, if you're cards are with CITI, good LUCK! You will need it!

Southern Arizona residents say Border Patrol agents are using excessive force, engaging in illegal searches and seizures, and stopping and detaining people without explanation while roving on patrols up to 60 miles north of the Arizona-Mexico border, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.
The ACLU says the scores of complaints it has received in Arizona are similar to ones raised in a lawsuit recently settled in Washington state.
ACLU lawyer James Duff Lyall here said his group is delivering an administrative complaint Thursday to the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general, to the department's Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and to the Department of Justice.

Tips from the Kitchen Getting Garlic Smell off of Your Fingers
Three words: salt, lemon, steel. One way to remove the odor is to rub salt on your fingers. The salt will absorb the odor, and then you can rinse the salt away with hot soapy water. Or, rub lemon juice on your hands or rub your garlicky digits on anything made of stainless steel. Give your faucet a little good-luck rub and see if it does the trick. To be safe, do all three. These tricks work for onions, too.
To Keep Eggshell Fragments Out of Egg White
Crack the egg on a flat surface, such as the counter instead of on the rim of a bowl. It works. If you somehow still manage to get a shell fragment in with the egg, scoop the little piece out with one of the halves of the shell. The thin, curved shell is a natural shell-fragment retriever—much better than your finger or a spoon. You will never make a crunchy muffin or omelet again—unless, of course, you plan it that way.
