Exterminator suspended for alleged banned pesticide useBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | July 12,2013A North Clarendon exterminator has had his license suspended and state officials are trying to contact his clients in the Rutland area.
The state Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets announced this week it had suspended the pesticide applicator license of Cary Buck of AAA Accredited Pest Control for allegedly using a chemical not approved for indoor use.
State officials said Buck used an insecticide called chlorpyrifos to spray for bedbugs despite the fact that the Environmental Protection Agency banned its indoor use in 2001.
We received a call from folks who were very concerned that their house smelled awful after a bedbug treatment was made, said Gary Giguere, pesticide section chief for the Agency of Agriculture.
Giguere said the agency did testing and found the banned chemical in such high amounts that the family was very fortunate they had not reoccupied the house following the spraying as they likely would have suffered serious health effects.
The agency declined to identify the home where the spraying took place.
Working with the state Department of Health and the EPA, the Agency of Agriculture is sending letters out to Bucks other recent customers, and anyone contacted can have their home tested free of charge. They said company records indicate as many as 50 homes could be affected, but they did not know how many times the chemical was used in those homes.
Contacted about the investigation Thursday, Buck denied using chlorpyrifos.
Theres been five other exterminators at that place before I was there in the last five years, he said. I am the only exterminator in this state, I believe, who gives a guarantee. Other exterminators dont like me because of that they say Im going to ruin their business. ... I did not do it. I am not guilty of it. Thats all.
Dr. Harry Chen, Vermonts health commissioner, said containers of chlorpyrifos were found in Bucks basement and that the state had tested 11 locations Buck had sprayed in the last 1½ years, with five coming back positive, two coming back negative and four results still pending.
Our advice to some of them was they should relocate within 48 hours, some that they did not need to relocate and some they should relocate within a week, Chen said.
Chen said chlorpyrifos is a neurotoxin whose effects can include memory loss and numbness, with particular danger to children and pregnant women. He said the state had not yet located anyone made sick by the spraying.
The nice thing about this chemical is, once you leave, the effects go away, he said. It doesnt cause cancer. Its effects are acute.
Chen said cleaning up from such a spraying is a challenge his department and the EPA are discussing. He said homeowners are advised against cleaning up on their own and that soft woods and porous materials may not be able to be cleaned.
Giguere said he was aware of similar cases in recent years in Ohio and Massachusetts, the latter resulting in criminal charges, but that this was a first for Vermont.
Giguere said chemicals alone have a poor record of controlling bedbugs, but that exterminators have had success with integrated pest management techniques including traps, heat treatment and spraying in cracks and crevices.
You should be spraying nothing yourself, that would be our first bit of advice, he said. What we would say is combining chemicals and nonchemical treatments in a unified approach is what makes the most sense.

For the Bishop England Battling Bishops, it wasn't how they started, but how they finished Wednesday.
Bishop England (2-2) saved some of its best basketball for the fourth quarter to pull out a 70-59 win over the Palmetto Christian Eagles (1-2) in the Bishops' home opener.
Limited with foul trouble for most of the third quarter, B.J. Grevey and Dillon Corbett reemerged in the fourth to score the first nine points of an 11-0 Bishop England run that turned a one-point lead into a 64-52 advantage with less than five minutes to play.
Palmetto Christian was able to trim the lead down to seven twice in the final minutes but couldn't come any closer as Bishop England allowed the Eagles just one field goal in their lowest-scoring quarter of the game.
"We had some guys in foul trouble but our guys who came in really did a wonderful job of stepping up," Bishop England head coach Bryan Grevey said. "Total team effort. I'm really proud of this team and the effort they gave tonight."
Palmetto Christian outscored Bishop England 14-5 through the final two minutes of the first quarter to open an early 11-point lead. Ben German scored 10 of his game-high 18 points in the first as J.T. Waters' penetration set him up for open baseline floaters time and time again.
"The first quarter I really thought we played well," Palmetto Christian head coach Brian Stanley said. "I challenged my guys to do some of the little things like getting extra-chance points and sharing the ball and I thought they started with a great energy."
The Bishops adjusted to a zone defense in the second quarter to limit the Eagles' penetration and help seal the backside. They continued to chip into the Eagles' lead throughout the second quarter. Two Eagles turnovers in the final minute gave the Bishops a three-point lead headed into halftime.
The momentum carried over into the third quarter where Bishop England opened with a 7-2 run. Ben Carico scored 10 of his team-high 16 points in the second and third quarters to pace the Bishops. Taylor Howell added six of his 11 in the third. Six different Eagles scored in the third quarter to keep the Palmetto Christian within a point by the end of the quarter.
"Our guys just fought," Stanley said. "They never think they're out of it so they just keep fighting. We made some mental mistakes in the fourth quarter that cost us but also credit their defense because they put us in some tough spots."
German added nine rebounds and a block to his big scoring night, and Chris Demarco knocked down three threes as part of a 17-point effort for the Eagles. Waters dished out six assists, grabbed four rebounds and a steal.
Grevey finished with 13 points and nine rebounds, while Nick Vecchiolla added 12 points and two steals for the Bishops. Reed Fosberry turned in four assists and four steals with no turnovers.
Palmetto Christian and Bishop England return to Daniel Island Tuesday at 8 p.m. for game two of the two-game series.
"It was a war tonight and it should be another war next Tuesday night," Coach Grevey said. "Our kids know so many of their kids and vice versa. They grew up playing together so there's a lot of emotion and I think all of them definitely were excited for this game and are excited to do it again next week."

Dana White warns Jon Jones to worry about Glover Teixeira, not 'ridiculous' Richie Incognito saga
White was a recent guest on FOX Sports Live to promote UFC 167 this weekend and was, unsurprisingly, asked to comment on Jones' remarks. His reaction:
"I'm not even involved in football or any of that stuff and I'm already tired of the Richie Incognito stories and the whole thing. We're tailing about football players here. It's ridiculous. And Jon Jones better worry about Glover Teixeira, not Richie Incognito, because he ain't going to fighting him anytime soon."
Rampage: Jones a dirty fighter
Speaking with present media, Rampage was outspoken when he commented on Jon Jones' next fight against Glover Teixeira. Coincidentally, both guys have wins over him but Jackson roots for the Brazilian challenger.
"I think Glover is gonna win. I'm supporting him and I'm betting on him. Jon Jones is an excellent fighter but he doesn't always put on a show for the fans so they aren't always happy with him," he says.
"He is a great athlete. He is also one of the dirtiest opponents I have fought. If I could, I would break his knee for him so doesn't fight ever again."
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

text: External games consist of matches played outside the group that consists of all the teams on its rating page. Typically, a rating page for high school will include all teams in a state, so an external game is one that would be played outside that state. In college, an external game is one involving teams in different divisions.

Here's an idea that I was tossing around. From time to time the UFC puts on cards with a bit of a gimmick. Like "The Heavyweights" from last year and the "Canada vs. USA" card from a few years back. With Strikeforce's final card nearing and the impending roster merger that is to follow I thought it'd be cool to see them put together a UFC vs. Strikeforce supercard. I'm thinking it would probably take place in spring, allow for some of the guys from the January card to heal. Lots of possibilities, would be a very fun card to watch.
Main Event
Undisputed Lightweight Chamionship
Gilbert Melendez vs. Benson Henderson
Top Contenders Bout
Luke Rockhold vs. Chris Weidman
Daniel Cormier vs. Frank Mir
Nate Marquardt vs. Josh Koscheck
Tim Kennedy vs. Brian Stann
Lots of possibilities for an entertaining undercard, too!
What would you guys like to see?

Read the Latest Blog Entry: The Infuriating Train Robbery.
This website is devoted to the modern urbanization of Tampa and Hillsborough County Florida, primarily through the development of an
alternative rail-based mass transit system connecting all corners of the county and beyond. To accomplish this, aside from the focus
on a developed mass transit system, this website also focuses on urban development solutions related to denser city living, improved
pedestrian infrastructure, laws, policies, public safety, and the promotion and expansion of political agendas which favor these things.
This website has exitsted for a long time. You can review its history here
Tampa Rail was an early, and for awhile, dominant online voice for the development of urban rail in Tampa.
Since the explosive growth of social media as a separate and distinct industry, not to mention serious political ground gained in the progress toward rail in Tampa, professionals have long taken over. Here are some
of the organizations and efforts underway in Tampa to bring rail to the city.
There are actually quite a few important political supporters of Tampa urban rail but as I have been a way for awhile it's going to take
some time to wrap myself in current developments and learn who they are, so pardon the anemic size in the meantime. Bob and Mark
were gung-ho when I lapsed attention and still are! They are easy to remember - not alone.
To put the status of rail transit in Tampa as succiently as possible the metropoliton citizens of Tampa
want light rail and want it quickly - they voted for it. County residents have opposed it, and for the foreseeable future will be a
roadblock wildcard. That's because their votes count - so far. A recent idea is for Tampa to cede itself under a "home rule" configuration
that would, presumably then, allow a transit vote to pass indepedent of the county and a starter rail system to get built. That's about as unlikely
as a foot of snow in Ybor City, so for now the campaign continues to swing enough county residents to way of rail.
Tampa does operate an approximately 3 mile streetcar line which connects downtown to Channelside, but when the economy tanked
its endowment fund bled, taking service frequency with it. As a result it's strictly a tourist tool and novelty, but, there's
enough talk about changing that too. As more residents pile into fresh downtown high rises, the long-term for this system is likely
to be a more transit-oriented one that eventually cuts through and loops the entire center city.
Three years ago Tampa was poised to be one of the first cities with a true high speed rail terminus connecting it to Orlando and points beyond. This would have
undoutably spurred local urban rail development by leaps and bounds. Buildings were knocked down to make
way for it and a giant check from the federal government was cut and handed to Florida in order to get it all done. However, months
before the check was accepted and cashed, Rick Scott became governor and refused to accept it on ideological grounds. He offered
no reasons for the rejection aside from those which were tepid and easily countered by market research reports which showed that the line as it
was being considered, would have been profitable. During his campaign he withheld his predisposition to cancel the system capriciously
and this lie of ommission made the difference in the election. Already dull-witted in business and apparently propped up by corrupt
and criminal masterminds around him for most of his "successful" career, he needed every advantage in the election to win - ethical
disclosure be damned.

Spain, country located in extreme southwestern Europe. It occupies about 85 percent of the Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with its smaller neighbour Portugal.
Spain is a storied country of stone castles, snowcapped mountains, vast monuments, and sophisticated cities, all of which have made it a favoured travel destination. The country is geographically and culturally diverse. Its heartland is the Meseta, a broad central plateau half a mile above sea level. Much of the region is traditionally given over to cattle ranching and grain production; it was in this rural setting that Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote tilted at the tall windmills that still dot the landscape in several places. In the country's northeast are the broad valley of the Ebro River, the mountainous region of Catalonia, and the hilly coastal plain of Valencia. To the northwest is the Cantabrian Mountains, a rugged range in which heavily forested, rain-swept valleys are interspersed with tall peaks. To the south is the citrus-orchard-rich and irrigated lands of the valley of the Guadalquivir River, celebrated in the renowned lyrics of Spanish poets Federico García Lorca and Antonio Machado; over this valley rises the snowcapped Sierra Nevada. The southern portion of the country is desert, an extension of the Sahara made familiar to Americans through the "spaghetti western" films of the 1960s and early '70s. Lined with palm trees, rosemary bushes, and other tropical vegetation, the southeastern Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands enjoy a gentle climate, drawing millions of visitors and retirees, especially from northern Europe.
Spain's countryside is quaint, speckled with castles, aqueducts, and ancient ruins, but its cities are resoundingly modern. The Andalusian capital of Sevilla (Seville) is famed for its musical culture and traditional folkways; the Catalonian capital of Barcelona for its secular architecture and maritime industry; and the national capital of Madrid for its winding streets, its museums and bookstores, and its around-the-clock lifestyle. Madrid is Spain's largest city and is also its financial and cultural centre, as it has been for hundreds of years.
The many and varied cultures that have gone into the making of Spain—those of the Castilians, Catalonians, Lusitanians, Galicians, Basques, Romans, Arabs, Jews, and Roma (Gypsies), among other peoples—are renowned for their varied cuisines, customs, and prolific contributions to the world's artistic heritage. The country's Roman conquerors left their language, roads, and monuments, while many of the Roman Empire's greatest rulers were Spanish, among them Trajan, Hadrian, and Marcus Aurelius. The Moors, who ruled over Spain for nearly 800 years, left a legacy of fine architecture, lyric poetry, and science; the Roma contributed the haunting music called the cante jondo (a form of flamenco), which, wrote García Lorca, "comes from remote races and crosses the graveyard of the years and the fronds of parched winds. It comes from the first sob and the first kiss." Even the Vandals, Huns, and Visigoths who swept across Spain following the fall of Rome are remembered in words and monuments, which prompted García Lorca to remark, "In Spain, the dead are more alive than the dead of any other country in the world."
In 1492, the year the last of the Moorish rulers were expelled from Spain, ships under the command of Christopher Columbus reached America. For 300 years afterward, Spanish explorers and conquerors traveled the world, claiming huge territories for the Spanish crown, a succession of Castilian, Aragonese, Habsburg, and Bourbon rulers. For generations Spain was arguably the richest country in the world, and certainly the most far-flung. With the loss of its overseas empire throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, however, Spain was all but forgotten in world affairs, save for the three years that the ideologically charged Spanish Civil War (1936–39) put the country at the centre of the world's stage, only to become ever more insular and withdrawn during the four decades of rule by dictator Francisco Franco. Following Franco's death in 1975, a Bourbon king, Juan Carlos, returned to the throne and established a constitutional monarchy. The country has been ruled since then by a succession of elected governments, some socialist, some conservative, but all devoted to democracy.
Spain is bordered to the west by Portugal; to the northeast it borders France, from which it is separated by the tiny principality of Andorra and by the great wall of the Pyrenees Mountains. Spain's only other land border is in the far south with Gibraltar, an enclave that belonged to Spain until 1713, when it was ceded to Great Britain in the Treaty of Utrecht at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession. Elsewhere the country is bounded by water: by the Mediterranean Sea to the east and southeast, by the Atlantic Ocean to the northwest and southwest, and by the Bay of Biscay (an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean) to the north. The Canary (Canarias) Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwestern African mainland, and the Balearic (Baleares) Islands, in the Mediterranean, also are parts of Spain, as are Ceuta and Melilla, two small enclaves in North Africa (northern Morocco) that Spain has ruled for centuries.
1Includes 58 indirectly elected seats.
2The constitution states that "Castilian is the official Spanish language of the State," but that "the other Spanish languages [including Euskera (Basque), Catalan, and Galician will] also be official in the respective Autonomous Communities."

Here's What's Not Going on with BioLogos
Cornelius Hunter's claim that BioLogos advances the "Warfare Thesis" between science and religion is wholly unfounded.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Cornelius Hunter's claim that BioLogos advances the "Warfare Thesis" between science and religion is wholly unfounded.
Ninety years is a long time, and so much has changed all over the world. But have the cultural perceptions about science and religion changed since the Scopes Trial in 1925?
American thinking about religion and science before the Civil War was substantially informed by the powerful "concordist" metaphor of God as the "author" of two "books," nature and Scripture, which ultimately must agree.
I am growing in my appreciation for a diversity of ears to hear Scripture and a diversity of cultures to interpret God's call on our lives.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
Historian Peter Harrison argues that harmony between faith and science is not as simple as it seems, and some versions of "harmony" can do damage to the Christian faith.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
God invites us to understand his power and nature through studying what has been made.
News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
The great irony lies here: these partisans are actually leading good-hearted people to reject their faith, precisely because these partisans have convinced these good-hearted people that they must accept a false dichotomy.
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
This week in origins news is a rousing medley of articles about science and faith, from multiple angles. Some classics on science, religion, and the classroom along with some probing into where atheists come from, new resources from John Polkinghorne, and an off-the-beaten-path blog post.
Bethel was where I learned that the science that I loved could be a Christian calling. Before that I had a vague notion that truly serving God meant being a pastor or missionary. Here I learned that in every profession you can love God with heart and soul and mind and strength, studying God's world with your mind and caring for it with your hands.
Most Christian students have a lot of questions about evolution and the other controversies, but are afraid to ask them for fear of the adults gasping in horror. The right way for a Christian teacher to proceed is to accommodate questions, foster inquiry, and encourage students to think and engage with the issues.

If you hear an explosion today, don't be alarmed; it's the 18th annual Black History Gospel Explosion taking place at the Ridge Spring Civic Center.
The show will feature the talent of Roy & Revelation, the Rev. Billy Smith and the Radio Angels, The Hopkins Brothers, Sister Mary Myers and the Team of Joy, and Thelma J. Robinson with special guests The Original Supreme Angels.
"There's a cross-section of gospel artists that will be there," said Arlene Edwards, a spokesperson for the event. "You always have the up-and-comings in that particular genre of music."
Edwards said the show has been performed at multiple places around the state and has been in Johnston for the last few years. She said many black history month programs are more about "arguing."
"Sometimes it pours salt in the wound," she said. "This is a celebration. It's a celebration of being a part of this great country."
Edwards said the show was started after identifying a need "to do something that really deviated from the norm."
"It's an overwhelming response from the people," she said. "Usually, it's standing room only."
Doors to the civic center open at 5 p.m. and the event begins at 6. Tickets are $18 in advance and $22 at the door and can be purchased in Aiken at Snazzy's Beauty and Hair and Busy Bee Beauty Shop, or by calling Virginia Davis at 443-8396.
Tickets are also available in Johnston at Butler's Beauty and Barber, Hazel's Beauty and Barber and Ms. Julia's Beauty Salon.
Children age 10 and younger are $10 at the door. For more information, contact Davis or Darriel Council at (803) 360-5191.

Some Carroll County citizens will pay less in real estate taxes than in year's past, while others will pay less, but by code definition Carroll County's proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2014 includes no tax increase.
Taxes will be adjusted to 68 cents per $100 of real estate valuation, up from 59.5 cents in recent years, after property values in the county declined for the first time in three decades after the county's recent reassessment. That will make the county's Fiscal Year 2014 budget revenue neutral, said Catherine Dalton, the county's financial management director.
"You may wonder what is revenue neutral, and that is the rate that would be required to produce the same amount of revenue in the next fiscal year as if real estate had not been reassessed," Dalton said. "And we calculated the revenue neutral rate as (68 cents) and that was pursuant to Virginia Code. And that is versus our Fiscal Year 2013 rate of (59.5 cents)."
Dalton said the main goal in building the county's budget was to maintain a revenue-neutral budget, which she said was quite a challenge given the recent reassessment. Aggressive and increased collection of delinquent taxes was also a focus among this year's budget considerations, she said.
Many personnel considerations also had to be made in constructing the proposed budget, Dalton said, including a health insurance rate increase of 3.4 percent that was passed on to county employees, and the creation of a natural gas utilities specialist, which she said was required. To help deal with those challenges, she said the county is leaving vacant positions unfilled and combining the responsibilities of Erosion and Sediment personnel to oversee the mandated Stormwater Management program.
To help deal with the growing costs of fuel and electricity, she said the budget reduces funding of approved Capital Improvement Program items.
Education is the biggest expenditure in the proposed budget at 29 percent, while public safety makes up 18 percent of total county expenditures, the same percent as a category for debt service, CIP and the airport. Total proposed expenditures for Fiscal Year 2014 are broken down as follows: $11,377,935 for education, $7,050,481 to debt service, CIP and airport, $6,985,176 for public safety, $5,280,265 for health and welfare, $2,612,946 for public works, $2,371,698 for general government, $1,374,456 for Judicial Administration, $1,233,110 for community development, and $826,538 to parks, recreation and cultural.
The majority of proposed revenues (56 percent) comes from general property taxes, which Dalton said is a "Catch 22" after reassessment. Revenue from the Commonwealth represents 13 percent of revenue, with 4 percent of revenue coming from the Federal Government, 11 percent from other local taxes, and 10 percent from recovered costs. With total projected revenues at $39,112,605, Dalton said the county has a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2014.
Additionally, the Compensation Board has a projected 3 percent increase for constitutional officers and funded positions, Dalton said.
To give an idea on how local tax dollars are spent, Dalton provided a graph showing 44 cents of each local tax dollar goes toward education, 20 cents goes to airport, debt service and CIP, 12 cents goes to public safety, eight cents to general government, five cents to public works, four cents to health and welfare, three cents to parks, recreation and cultural, and two cents each to community development and judicial administration.
"To just give a quick recap, this is a revenue-neutral budget, we are proposing school board funding at over 98 percent of their total request, and we have a greater emphasis on the collection of delinquent taxes than before," Dalton said.
Supervisors will hold a public hearing April 22 at 7 p.m. for the county budget as well as the proposed real estate tax levy of 68 cents per $100. The board is also scheduled to adopt the school budget that evening.
During Supervisors' Time, Supervisor Dr. Tom Littrell talked about the challenges faced by the county's budget committee this year.
"The budget committee has had some really challenging times this year with reassessment and some other things, and I was pleased to see we are able to keep revenue neutral," Littrell said. "That is probably going to make some people very happy if their reassessment was below average, and it may make some folks, if their reassessment was above average, a little disappointed, but that was the best we could do."

Facebook unveils new 'Home' for AndroidBy MICHAEL LIEDTKE
and BARBARA ORTUTAY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | April 05,2013AP PHOTO
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks at the company's headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., on Thursday. Zuckerberg says the company is not building a phone or an operating system. Rather, Facebook is introducing a new experience for Android phones.MENLO PARK, Calif. — With its new "Home" on Android gadgets, Facebook aims to put its social network at the center of people's mobile experiences.
If users choose to download Facebook's Home software starting on April 12, the social network will become the hub of their Android smartphones. A phone from HTC that comes pre-loaded with Home will also be available starting that day, with AT&T Inc. as the carrier.
The idea behind the software is to bring Facebook content right to the home screen, rather than requiring users to check apps. "Home" comes amid rapid growth in the number of people who access Facebook from phones and tablet computers. Of its 1.06 billion monthly users, 680 million log in to Facebook using a mobile gadget.
The service is part of Facebook's move to shift its users' focus from "apps and tasks" to people, said CEO Mark Zuckerberg during Home's unveiling at the company's Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters on Thursday.
The new product, which resides on the home screen of Android phones, is a family of apps designed to help people share things with their Facebook friends. Rather than seeing a set of apps for email, maps and other services when they first turn on their phones, users will be greeted with photos and updates from their Facebook feeds. There will be ads too, eventually.
"We think this is the best version of Facebook there is," Zuckerberg said.
Zuckerberg says users can have an experience on Android phones that they can't have on other platforms. That's because Google makes the software available on an open-source basis, allowing others to adapt it to their needs.
Recognizing that text messaging is one of the most important tasks on a mobile phone, Facebook also showed off a feature called "chat heads." This lets users communicate with their friends directly from their phone's home screen — without opening a separate app.
The move that coincides with rapid growth among the number of users who access the social network from smartphones and tablet computers and Facebook's aim to evolve from its Web-based roots into a "mobile-first" company.
"What Facebook wants is to put itself at the front of the Android user experience for as many Facebook users as possible and make Facebook more elemental to their customers' experience," said Forrester analyst Charles Golvin.
The new Home service won't be available on Apple's iPhone and iPad devices. Apple's iOS and Mac operating systems include features that integrate Facebook's services, but Zuckerberg says doing something like Home would require a closer partnership.
Apple had no immediate comment.
The deeper mobile integration will likely help Facebook to attract more mobile advertisers. Though mobile ads were a big concern for Facebook's investors even before the company's initial public offering last May, some of the worry has subsided as the company muscles its way into the market.
Last year, Facebook began showing ads to its mobile audience by shoehorning corporate-sponsored content into users' news feeds, which also include updates from friends and brands they follow. Facebook now faces the challenge of showing people mobile ads without annoying or alienating them.
The mobile advertising market is growing quickly, thanks in large part to Facebook and Twitter, which also entered the space in 2012. Research firm eMarketer expects U.S. mobile ad spending to grow 77 percent this year to $7.29 billion, from $4.11 billion last year.
EMarketer said Wednesday that it expects Facebook Inc. to reap $965 million in U.S. mobile ad revenue in 2013. That's about 2.5 times the $391 million in 2012, the first year that Facebook started showing mobile ads. Clark Fredricksen, vice president at eMarketer, says "there are some clear reasons why a deeper integration with mobile operating systems and handsets make sense for Facebook. At the end of the day, the more deeply Facebook can engage consumers, no matter what device or operating system or handset," the better.
Facebook's stock rose 80 cents, or 3.1 percent, to $27.05 in afternoon trading following the announcement. It's still 23 percent below its initial public offering price of $35.MORE IN Wire NewsJEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Full StoryCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

COLUMBIA (AP) — Columbia city prosecutors told a judge on Friday they need more time to evaluate whether to prosecute state NAACP President Lonnie Randolph on charges of refusing to pay his dry cleaning bill and fighting with officers.
An attorney for Randolph, 63, had asked that misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, trespass and resisting arrest be dismissed, arguing that his client was having a diabetic attack when he was arrested earlier this month.
Columbia police were called on July 12 to a Five Points dry cleaners by an employee who said Randolph would not pay for his clothes and would not leave. Officers said Randolph did not answer their initial questions and looked frantic as he rifled through his pockets.
Officers said they took Randolph outside and told him he should not re-enter the store or he would face trespassing charges.
Police said he yelled that he did not understand, and officers decided to arrest him. The officers said Randolph struggled, so they forced him to the ground and then struck him in the chest when he refused to get in the patrol car. Randolph ended up with a busted lip, police said.
Interim Columbia Police Chief Ruben Santiago has already said that he agreed Randolph's medical problem likely led to him not listening to officers, adding that he expected a judge to drop the misdemeanor charges.
Along with the dismissal request, Randolph's attorney has filed multiple affidavits from people who know his client and say they can attest to his diabetic episodes. Among the statements is a missive from Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, who said he has watched Randolph having a diabetic attack and says his officers are trained to recognize such types of episodes.
In another affidavit, state Rep. Kirkman Finlay, a former Columbia City Council member, said Randolph was almost arrested in 2009 during another diabetic episode that happened in front of his own home.
On Friday, prosecutors said they need more time to review those claims and interview witnesses, and the judge considering the case did not rule on the affidavits.
Joe McCulloch, Randolph's attorney, said he was disappointed because he wants to stop the damage to his client's reputation.

Dec. 9 was a great day at the Choppee Community Center and a great day for Georgetown County.
State and local leaders were on hand to cut the ribbon and officially open the doors to the Teen After School Center at the Choppee Community Center Complex.
The Teen After School Center (TASC) is an initiative of the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice. TASCs are daily after-school programs based in local churches, community centers, and other public buildings across the state, and are staffed by employees and volunteers with a heart for youth.
The program is focused on providing a safe and positive environment for teens after school.
The TASC Program at the Choppee Community Complex currently hosts 26 participants who are focusing on enhancing their coping skills while increasing their academic, vocational and employability skills.
They will be exposed to career opportunities in a variety of high skill careers and interact with professionals who will mentor them on best practices for developing their passions and aptitudes into productive and successful careers. TASC facilitators, Helen Canteen and Joseph Enoch, are proud of the accomplishments of the students.

The Hurford Humanities Center presents Photo Movements, an exhibition of work by Visiting Artist-in-Residence Pato Hebert.

The collaborations continue with the Haverford community in a series of installations for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium on Social Justice, Spring 2009.
Hebert's installation "A Thousand Points of Might" is currently part of the 2008 California Biennial at the Orange County Museum of Art, and he has been working with LACMA to create a series of collaborative art projects and installations with Plasencia Elementary School in the Westlake neighborhood of L.A.. Other projects include a media campaign with the L.A. County Commission on Human Relations aimed at diffusing hate crimes. As Associate Director of Education and Prevention for AIDS Project Los Angeles, he helped create Corpus, a journal that explores sex and HIV/AIDS in the context of gay men's lives.
Photo Movements features works from Hebert's Tocado and Hay una vieja que está enamorada series. These include dance drawings recorded for the camera and photographic diptychs comprised of color portraits, paired with black and white conceptual landscape photographs.

The Hillsville Police Department is investigating a case of a possible kidnapping after receiving a call from a local hotel, that they had found a note from a child claiming to be "missing and the cops are looking for me." Captain Jason Hawks of the Hillsville Police Department received a call to the Quality Inn Hotel in Hillsville, stating that housekeeping found a handwritten note from a child claiming to be "missing."
A search of National, State and local databanks has no record of a child by the name of Jasmine Hines being reported missing. Police determined that on November 28, a man named Pierre Morand, of Lachute, Quebec checked into the Quality Inn Hotel, located at Exit 14 on Interstate 77, and rented a room for one person. A later check of video surveillance footage revealed that the man had a young girl traveling with him. Pierre is seen checking out of the hotel and leaving in a white mini-van with what appears to be two bicycles on a rack on the back.
Police are asking for your assistance in locating Morand and attempting to verify the welfare of the young child traveling with him.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Captain Jason Hawks or Investigator Junior Alderman with the Hillsville Police Department at 276-728-2251 or the Carroll County Sheriff's Office at 276-728-4146.

8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM
- First wide angle with minimum focal length of 8mm
- FLD glass with performance equal to fluorite
- Front adapter ring, carrying case, front & rear caps
These are special lenses designed for APS-C size sensors so that the image circle matches the smaller size of the image sensor of most digital SLR cameras. Their specialized design gives these lenses the ideal properties for digital cameras, the compact and lightweight construction is an added bonus!
The aspherical lens complex allows freedom of design, improved performance, a reduced number of component lenses and a compact size.
This lens uses a motor driven by ultrasonic waves to provide a quiet, high-speed AF.
To ensure stability in focusing, this lens moves the inner lens group(s) without changing the lens' physical length.

before installation
there are no defaults that fit your needs - irm is simple to implement
but you have to decide what you need BEFORE you start an productive environment!
using irm and iRedOS is simple and easy - but there are some points you want to read before you present a "finished server" to a customer...
before installation of your OS
after installation of your prefered OS
before installing irm
before creating user-accounts
whenever you can :)
keep a copy of /etc
slapcat your openldap
mkdir /root/ldap_backup
edit your crontab and add
8 */1 * * * /usr/sbin/slapcat -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf > /root/ldap_backup/slapcat_dump &> /dev/null
or maybe you want to take a look at IRedMail/FAQ/Backup
we are talking about defaults:
maildir for mail-storage means: rsync might be enough
recovery ... oops
if you really need to read this ... yeah, shi### happens ;)
but you are not alone!
we will provide you some BAD practice and hints on what NOT to do!
if you need to read this - please follow this procedure:
Stop reading, take a cup of coffee and come back in 5 minutes
