I need to separate in two servers the webmail (tomcat) and the zimbra message store (mailbox), but I wasn't able to find anything in the documentation about that...
Is it possible to have Tomcat running in a separate server (front-end) and Zimbra Message Store (with all the other stuff) in another server (back-end)?
If it is possible, where could I find more information on such a configuration?
thank you

Braves' offense flat in 4-0 loss to Padres
ATLANTA Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez is ready for his team to snap out of an offensive funk.
"Looking into the next few weeks, that's what we're looking for," Gonzalez said. "We need to get back to swinging the bats and scoring some runs."
Atlanta had just four hits and Julio Teheran couldn't make it through the seventh inning of a 4-0 loss to the San Diego Padres on Sunday.
Despite scoring only five runs in losing two of three to San Diego, the Braves lead the NL East by 10 games over Washington.
They open a three-game series at Nationals Park on Monday night and can clinch the division with two wins.
"I think it's kind of been the idea around this place the whole year," catcher Evan Gattis said. "It's kind of, `We're coming at you.' We lost a game today. We'll play tomorrow."
Burch Smith struck out 10 in seven innings to earn his first major league victory and Chase Headley and Tommy Medica homered for San Diego.
Smith (1-1) held the Braves hitless until Teheran singled to lead off the sixth.
Smith allowed three hits and walked two. The rookie made his fifth career start - he had a 12.41 ERA in his previous starts. He struck out seven of the first 13 batters for Atlanta, which has been shut out 14 times, second-most in the NL.
Teheran (12-8) gave up seven hits, four runs, no walks and struck out six in 6 2-3 innings. Gonzalez pulled him with two outs in the seventh after Burch bunted into a forceout.
"I felt like I had my best stuff today," Teheran said. "I felt like all my pitches were working. It was one of those games that (somebody) has to lose."
Jedd Gyorko's RBI single and Headley's 13th homer in the sixth gave the Padres a 3-0 lead.
Medica, who homered off Philadelphia's Cliff Lee last Wednesday for his first career hit, led off the seventh with his second homer to make it 4-0.
Even though the slider Teheran threw to Headley landed in the right-field seats, he didn't regret the pitch selection.
"Yeah that was the pitch that I wanted to throw," Teheran said. "I asked him also if it was a good pitch (as Teheran stood at third base in the bottom half of the inning), and he told me that it was a good pitch. I said, `OK, you got me this time.' "
After Teheran left, reliever Scott Downs gave up a double to Will Venable that advanced Burch to third. After pinch-hitter Chris Denorfia walked to load the bases, Downs struck out Gyorko to end the threat.
Smith retired the first 11 batters before Freddie Freeman walked in the fourth. Freeman moved to second when Smith made a wild pickoff throw, but Gattis struck out.
"I think it was a really good mix of pitches today but primarily the fastball-change combo was effective for Burch," San Diego manager Bud Black said. "I think he came out with nice, smooth delivery, didn't try to do too much but kept his velocity up until the fifth, sixth inning, I think it backed up a little bit."
Padres closer Huston Street pitched the ninth. He gave up a leadoff single to Freeman before retiring the next three batters.
Teheran had retired 14 straight batters before Venable singled to begin the sixth. One out later, Venable stole second and scored on Gyorko's single.
Gonzalez was disappointed that the Braves' bats were quiet most of the weekend. Atlanta scored just three runs in the series and lost two of three.

In the three weeks following the election, most of the news surrounding President-elect Obama (other than the potential First Puppy) is who will be serving as his advisors and in his cabinet.
A major theme of Mr. Obama's campaign was to bring change to Washington D.C., and more specifically, to the government. So is it ironic or intelligent that many of the presumed cabinet choices are Washington insiders?
Hillary Clinton may become the Secretary of State. The likely choice for the Attorney General served as Deputy Attorney General in the Clinton White House. Tom Daschle was a party leader among senate democrats while he was in office, and he may become the secretary of Health and Human Services. These are people who don't embody bringing change to Washington.
However, they bring experience. Is that better? Does it matter?

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. -- Matt Howard, the third all-time leading
scorer and rebounder in Butler basketball history, will continue
his basketball career in Europe in 2011-12. Howard signed a
contract with Olympiacos and will begin his professional career
with one of the most successful teams in Greece.
"I'm really pleased and excited for Matt," said Butler head coach Brad Stevens. "His success and records at Butler have been well-chronicled, but his impact on our program and our University goes well beyond statistics and honors. He's a great basketball player, teammate and person, and he affects winning everyday."
Howard, a 6-8 forward from Connersville, Ind., closed out a celebrated Butler career by leading the Bulldogs to a second consecutive appearance in the title game of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship in 2010-11. During his four-year career, in which he started a school-record 133 games, he helped Butler to 117 wins, four Horizon League regular season championships, three league tournament crowns, four consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament and two straight Final Four appearances. He set a school mark by starting 15 games in NCAA Tournament play.
This past season, Howard led the Bulldogs in scoring (16.4 ppg) and rebounding (7.7 rpg), while shooting .471 (188-399) from the field, .398 (53-133) from the three-point arc and .792 (179-226) from the free throw line. He finished his career with 1,939 points and 884 rebounds, and he set a school record for career free throws made with 669. He became the first player in Butler basketball history to have both 1,500 career points and 800 career rebounds.
Howard, a four-time All-Horizon League selection (including three consecutive years on the first team), was named the 2011 Lou Henson Mid-Major Player of the Year, and he was selected to the 2011 Lou Henson All-America Team. He was named Most Valuable Player of the Horizon League Men's Basketball Championship for the second consecutive year, and he was chosen to the League's All-Tournament Team for a record fourth consecutive year. He also won the Eddie Sutton Tustenugee Award (given to the collegiate player who best exhibits the traits of tenacity and unselfishness), was named the Most Valuable Player at the Diamond Head Classic, was chosen to the Horizon League All-Defensive Team for the second time in three years, and was selected to the All-Tournament teams at the 2011 NCAA Southeast Regional and the 2011 NCAA Final Four.
Among Howard's new teammates in Greece will be former foe Kalin Lucas of Michigan State. The two didn't get to meet on the court, because Lucas was injured, but Howard helped lead Butler to a two-point victory over Michigan State at the 2010 Final Four.
Olympiacos has been a traditional power in European competitions. The team, located in Piraeus, has won nine Greek League titles, nine Greek Cups, one Euroleague championship and one Triple Crown. Last season, Olympiacos posted a 26-0 regular season record and captured the Greek Cup.
Matt Howard Heading To Greece
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. -- Matt Howard, the third all-time leading
scorer and rebounder in Butler basketball history, will continue
his basketball career in Europe in 2011-12. Howard signed a
contract with Olympiacos and will begin his professional career
with one of the most successful teams in Greece.

ATLANTA -- After nearly three years, Immigration and Customs Enforcement released an illegal immigrant from metro Atlanta despite a conviction for assault and history of not complying with the terms of his probation.
Anthony Orlando Williams spend nearly three years at a federal detention facility in Alabama while immigration officials attempted to deport him to his native Jamaica.
According to court documents, Williams was arrested in 2005 for assault, battery and cruelty to children. Williams says he was in the middle of a nasty divorce when he got into a shoving match with his now ex-wife.
Williams eventually pled guilty to misdemeanor assault, battery and cruelty to children.
However, court records show he was rearrested in 2010 for failing to comply with the terms of his probation -- specifically missing several court-mandated meetings with his probation officer.
Immigration officials insist Williams was not released because of looming federal budget cuts -- although his release did coincide with hundreds of other detainees set free last week because of cutbacks.
Instead, immigration officials say Williams was released because of a Supreme Court decision ruling that it was unlawful to hold detainees indefinitely if efforts to deport them had been exhausted.
Williams says he is not a danger to the public or a flight risk. "I don't hurt anybody. I don't fight with anybody -- except my ex-wife and that was years ago," he said.

Grand Rapids, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/11/2013 -- If you have trouble keeping up with what is going on in the U.S. economy, keep reading.
Dennis Tubbergen, a financial advisor, author, radio show host and CEO of PLP Advisors, LLC can help out. Whether people enjoy his weekly newsletter at www.moving-markets.com or his blog at www.dennistubbergen.com, Tubbergen is dedicated to sharing his viewpoints and opinions. On June 4, 2013 his blog was titled Dutch Pensions Cut for Existing Recipients.
"The Telegraph reported that Dutch pension recipients recently had their benefits cut due to not enough funding," began Tubbergen. "Sounds a lot like news stories regarding many U.S. municipalities like Detroit, Philadelphia, Stockton and others. The economic winter symptoms are far reaching and extend worldwide."
Below he quotes from the May 11, 2013 article.
"Millions of Dutch pensioners -- held up as the envy of their British counterparts by campaigners three years ago -- have been forced to cut pensions because of funding gaps, figures from the Dutch central bank show. The cuts average 1.9pc.
In all, 2 million active pension scheme members face cuts, on top of 1.1 million who are already receiving their pensions and 2.5 million "sleepers" (members who have changed jobs without taking their pension rights with them), European Pension News reported.
The development has sparked a lively debate among British pension experts about the merits of the Dutch scheme.
In 2010, David Pitt-Watson, a former chairman of Hermes Focus Asset Management, said British pensions "should go Dutch". In an article for The Daily Telegraph, he wrote: "If a typical British and a typical Dutch person save the same amount of money for their pension, the Dutch person will end up receiving at least 50pc more income in their retirement than the Briton. There is no trick here. It's just that the Dutch have an efficient architecture for their savings. We do not."
He said the Dutch system enjoyed economies of scale thanks to large schemes that covered a number of firms. These schemes can pay pensions from investment income instead of relying on annuities.
But responding to the recent cuts, John Lawson of Aviva said: "Dutch charges are not cheaper, nor are equities a one-way bet."
Henry Tapper of First Actuarial said the cuts should be put in "a little perspective". He said: "The Dutch system works rather like the with-profits system. Current Dutch pensions have been shown by David Pitt-Watson and others to be producing about 39pc more than our 'guaranteed pensions' (from annuities) in the UK."
"One of the big issues facing pensions is the actuarial assumptions used to calculate the current level of funding needed to fully fund future pension benefits," explains Tubbergen. "While I'm not familiar with these rules as they relate to Dutch pensions, I do know that many actuaries who calculate required funding levels for many U.S. pensions can use an anticipated rate of return for stock assets and bond assets that is much higher than the rates of return that have actually been experienced by pension plans."
Tubbergen goes on to say the Dutch plans operate much the same way. Mr. Lawson, quoted in the article, is with the large British insurance company, Aviva. While he has a vested interest in the use of annuities to provide pension income, his statement is spot on. Equities are not a one-way bet. Equities don't just up, they fall as well.
"In today's world, due to the money printing in which central banks have engaged, stock prices are artificially high in my view," notes Tubbergen. "When the deflationary forces of debt overtake stimulus actions, the Dutch pensions may be cut yet again."
Tubbergen concludes by saying, "Over two years ago I began writing about the under-funded pension problems, warning that this story would get bigger and bigger as time passes. That's happening and we're only getting started."

Ocean Winds Winter Experiment
January 17 through February 9, 2007
February 10, 2007
Ocean Winds completed its last flight yesterday in a second rapidly deepening storm about 500 miles east of St. John's. The storm, packing winds in excess of 90 kts. over a broad region, was sampled by the Ocean Winds team during a QuickScat overpass. This is the second storm of such magnitude to be studied during this deployment, and the data will be very useful in improving the algorithms for ocean wind vector retrievals.
Project Wrap Up
NOAA 42, affectionately known as Kermit, returned to MacDill AFB this past Sunday, 18 February 2007, following a successful completion of the 2007 Ocean Winds Winter experiment. This project, designed to collect validation data for satellite ocean vector wind retrievals in regions of high winds and heavy precipitation, began on January 17th when the aircraft flew to St John's, Newfoundland to begin flights over the North Atlantic and Labrador Sea. During the 1-month period, Kermit was in St. John's, it flew 7 missions over the ocean in support of Ocean Winds, collecting data with its on-board microwave scatterometers, bot C-band and Ku-band, that will be used to validate similar measurements by both the QuickScat satellite and the A-Scat instrument currently flying aboard the European METOP satellite.
The 7 missions flown by Kermit represented a 75% increase in the number of successful missions flown in the same area 2 years ago in 2005. This was extremely fortunate and due entirely to the dedication of the entire crew who worked diligently under conditions of snow, high winds and cold temperatures to launch the flights from St. John's. The environmental background out over the North Atlantic was rather formidable this year at the 3,000 ft. altitude Kermit was flying with winds reaching hurricane force as high as Category 3 on a couple of occasions. In spite of being severely challenged on one flight by high winds and heavy salt concentrations at flight altitude, both the aircraft and crew survived the ordeal and returned to St. John's safely.
While 60 hours of time were allocated to Ocean Winds, the aircraft and crew actually logged 61.5 hours of flight time. Ocean Winds Summer is the next scheduled NESDIS project, and it will be flown this summer in conjunction with other hurricane research and reconnaissance. The winter of 08 will see one of the P3s heading north again, to Alaska or perhaps to Norway, to continue this effort.

RALEIGH (AP) � Big players in North Carolina's medical community are uniting behind Medicaid reform that would keep the current payment method largely intact but give financial incentives to doctors and hospitals that operate efficiently and improve patient health.
The North Carolina Medical Society representing physicians and North Carolina Hospital Association endorsed Wednesday the idea of �accountable care organizations� that are already being used with many Medicare patients.
The group's representatives spoke at a public hearing by an advisory group expected to recommend to the Department of Health and Human Services ways to improve Medicaid.
The accountable care organization concept would move further away from more sweeping managed-care overhaul ideas pushed by Gov. Pat McCrory's administration. DHHS will unveil its detailed proposal in March.

Saahraaki and Yadu
Photograph: Jay Muhlin
What are you up to?
Yadu: We on a spiritual journey.
Like, right now?
Saahraaki: Since 1992. Y: We been working at it ever since.
Working at what, exactly?
Y: Universal consciousness. It's like trying to understand your essential origins, nature, purpose and destiny. You know, knowing why you're here, where you going an' where you came from.
What's your practice like? Do you pray? Chant? Smoke?
Y: No, we don't do none of that.
Hmm. Do you read?
Y: No, we don't read no more. We threw all our books out.
S: In the beginning, we read a lot. We studied all of the cultures, all the religions. At this time, we are channeling information and analyzing what we've already gathered.
Channeling? Do you watch TV?
Y: No gadgets. We got trees, we got rocks, we got nature.
Man, you're up the creek in Manhattan.
S: We have some cut-down trees we sit on. We just take the log and put it in the house.
Do people accuse you of total B.S.?
Y: Yes; that's good! It's better to meet people like that.
Would you call this a religion?
Y: It's spiritual. We call ourselves metaphysicians. Religion is great, but it fragments the people. We love everybody. We don't congregate, we circulate.
Right. And you coordinate your outfits.
Y: [Laughs] Yeah, I try to complement her.
More from Saahraaki and Yadu
Saahraaki: "It's not like we're into each other's bodies. It's not like 'Oh, you have those great...oooh.' It's about the shared objective. Some people are gonna be in love with my body, but that's subject to change."
Yadu: "The way we found each other was, I was at the Apollo Theater and I saw her coming up the street. I say, 'That's the one I'm gonna be working with.' I saw it in her eyes. [Laughs]" Saahraaki: "And I walk by and hear them talking, and turn around and put my two cents in."
Yadu: "Check it out: The world is always relative to the thinker. If you experiencing harmony in your home, then you will see harmony outside. But if there is conflict and confusion because of emotional fragmentation of the tree of life, then you will see confusion and conflict everywhere. I see harmony everywhere. Everything is perfect outside." Saahraki: "Till the rent gotta be paid! [Laughs]"

I filed a Senate Resolution No. 589 asking the Blue Ribbon Committee and the Committee on Electoral Reforms and People's Participation to conduct an investigation into reports by whistleblower group Wikileaks, alleging that former President Fidel V. Ramos accepted the sum of P5 million as campaign contribution from Libyan leader Muamar Gaddafi for the 1992 presidential campaign.
Under the Election Code, it is a crime for any candidate to solicit or receive any contribution from foreign sources. Since Ramos has already finished his six-year term as president, he can no longer be penalized with disqualification or removal from office. But he can be held criminally liable for election offenses and offenses under the Penal Code.
Some Filipinos are probably too young to remember this, but during the 1992 elections, I led in the first five days of the national canvassing. However, after a mysterious power blackout hit the entire country, Ramos emerged with a very slim margin over me.
Because of the blatant election fraud, I refused to concede the election and went on a hunger strike. I cut short my hunger fast when Cardinal Sin, who was concerned for my health, requested that I do so.
I also filed an electoral protest with the Supreme Court sitting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal. While the case was ongoing, I ran and won as senator in 1998. The Supreme Court dismissed my protest, on the technical ground that my victory as senator was tantamount to abandoning the protest.
Ramos won with the lowest plurality in Philippine presidential election history with just 23.58% of the vote of my 19.72%.
To allow Ramos to go unpunished for his crimes is tantamount to reinforcing the culture of impunity in this country. Never again should we allow a presidential candidate from ever stealing the election from the real winner voted by the Filipino people.#

Behind The Scenes With DeAndre Kane
Editor's Note: DeAndre Kane is a senior on the Iowa State men's basketball team working toward earning his Master's Degree in Higher Education. As part of his Higher Ed 591 course, Kane will be doing a weekly blog to give fans an inside look at his life as a student-athlete. The course is of the field experience variety and he'll be focusing on the role of media communications in higher education and athletics.
Being able to play at Madison Square Garden, the best basketball arena in the world, was a special moment for me and my teammates. We were so happy that we actually wanted to go to shoot around in the morning instead of sleep. Just the making to the Sweet 16 and playing in that arena was a blessing.
Playing for Coach Fred has been the best time ever in my life. I couldn't ask for a better coach. He has helped so much on and off the court and I couldn't thank him more. For coach to bring me and mold me into something I never thought I could become was amazing.
To Cyclone Nation, thank you, thank you, thank you! When I got to Ames I didn't know what to expect. I was a little nervous about whether I could survive in the cold of Iowa, but it worked out great. All year long you have been great to the team and myself, Cyclone nation. I can't thank you enough.
To my teammates. Wow, I won't forget the year of memories that we shared. I loved playing with you guys and I will miss you all so much. I will never forget what we did for the City of Ames. Bros for life.
Thanks for everything, Cyclone Nation. See you soon….
With Love,
Deandre Kane

Does Internet = Web ?
Summary: Advanced functionality requires Internet-enabled client-server software with optimized user interfaces that cannot be delivered in a Web browser. Reserve the Web for hypertext and content features.
The Internet is much more than the Web, and usability will suffer if people try to make the Web do things it is not suited for and make it the only user interface to the Internet.
My simple definitions are that
- The Internet allows any computer in the world to exchange data with any other computer in the world. As a result, a client program on one computer can access a server on another computer.
- The Web is a hypertext system that runs over the Internet as one of its services. As a result, users can sit at any computer and browse documents that live anywhere in the world; furthermore, these documents can link to documents from any other place in the world.
Viewing the Web as a hypertext means that it needs navigation support features and that users will come to rely on consistent use of these navigation features to move around in hyperspace. In other words, there is a specific user interface that is optimal for the hypertext problem of navigating a huge information space to find and read information. Not that we are anywhere close to an optimal hypertext interface in today's Web browsers, but they do have some features like
Back and
bookmarks that users quickly learn to rely on.
It is unlikely that the user interface that is optimal for browsing hypertext will also be optimal for every other thing people want to do with computers. Thus, if the Web becomes a single, universal interface to all Internet services, we will either end up with a sub-optimal hypertext interface for the browsing tasks or get a sub-optimal user interface for all the non-browsing tasks.
Email is a good example: it was the first killer app for the Internet and requires a rather different user interface than Web browsing. There are services to access email through a Web browser, but they have a distinctly second-class feel relative to the use of a smoothly designed email interface like Eudora or Outlook.
The same is true for other popular Internet services like home banking and airline reservations: optimized stand-alone applications deliver a superior user experience to that derived from shoehorning the same features into a Web browser.
Obviously, these stand-alone applications need to be Internet-enabled and they must have ways of dealing with firewalls, encryption, and other practical issues in Internet access. Quite likely, the long-term solution is for operating systems to include a much richer layer of Internet services than the current simple IP transport.
Stand-alone applications have some downsides:
- They must be downloaded before they can be used. Once downloaded, they can provide much faster response times than a Web browser, since they only need to exchange minimal data with the server (whereas Web interfaces must download page layouts and behavior specifications along with every set of data). Thus, stand-alone applications only make sense for tasks that must be done repeatedly. For a once-only task, it is better to start immediately and then suffer a more awkward user interface and slower response times for each step.
- They must be reimplemented for any new computer platform that becomes sufficiently popular. This need not be a huge hardship, since some newer programming and scripting languages are cross-platform. Even so, each new platform has its own requirements, and it is obviously not possible to port an application from a desktop computer to a palm-sized computer without having to redesign its user interface. Even if the code is portable, the design is not, so some reimplementation is inevitable. For an application that is used extensively, the optimal user experience derived from this redesign will be well worth the effort, but for a rarely used application the cost may be prohibitive, meaning that it will either only be available on the most widely used platforms or that it will be restricted to an awkward Web-like interface.
- Administration and upgrades are often mentioned as downsides to specialized applications, but it should be possible to have component software that could upgrade itself as needed (without requiring a full download every time 10% of the code change) and that could be administered remotely (if the user grants that privilege).
Some interactions are sufficiently document-like in nature that they should not be considered applications. If the user's main interaction consists of browsing information, then a hypertext-like user interface may be fine. CarPoint's pricing calculator is a good example of using an integrated OCX control to achieve some functionality on a Web page while keeping it within the hypertext paradigm. Who cares that it's running code as long as it doesn't feel like it.
By clicking options on and off, a CarPoint user can determine the price of different car configurations.
Clicking checkboxes in the CarPoint Auto-Pricer has no effect outside the Web page: the user is not buying the car, but simply browsing the options. Yet it is clearly a good idea to recalculate the price to reflect the currently chosen options. The price calculator is a content feature and not a functionality feature: this is why it works to embed it on a Web page. My preferred design for a car price interface would have been even more firmly based on hypertext: include links from each of the options to secondary pages with an explanation and a review of each option.
The problems start once we need functionality features that include state transitions and multiple views. One of the most common usability problems on the Web these days is when the
Back button breaks because the previous page is no longer a valid view of the data on the server. Some sites put big warnings on their pages: DO NOT TOUCH THE BACK BUTTON. This doesn't work. The
Back button is so ingrained in users' habits that they reach for it all the time, no matter what you say. Remember that any individual website is an insignificant speck of dust in the universe of the Web: you cannot override habits formed while browsing hundreds of other sites.
I think it is time to recognize that the Web cannot be all things and still retain a good user interface. Let's reserve the Web for what it's good for: browsing hypertext (including dynamic content that does not have complex functionality). And let's start building Internet-enabled client-server applications that provide optimized user interfaces on the client. The Web may still have limited roles in support of these advanced applications:
- navigating to the service and finding it in the first place
- help and supplementary information
- a secondary interface with limited or awkward features for short-term use at a computer that does not have the specialized client software installed

The initial firestorm surrounding the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups may have subsided, but tea party leaders say the situation has only become worse and may lead to more lawsuits against the embattled agency.
New documents show the depth of information the IRS is seeking from Tea Party Patriots, a leading conservative group that first applied for 501(c)(4) tax-exempt status in late 2010 and one of many organizations singled out for extra scrutiny by the Obama administration.
An IRS letter sent to the group last week and obtained by The Washington Times contains a laundry list of requests related to virtually all the group's activities, including its involvement in the 2012 election cycle and its get-out-the-vote efforts, fundraising activities, all radio and TV advertising, and other information.
The IRS also is asking for detailed financial records, including "the amounts and percentages of your total expenses that were for fundraising activities in the tax year 2011, 2012 and 2013."
The Aug. 20 request came as a shock to Tea Party Patriots, which said it already has provided to the IRS extensive information on all of its activities and thinks it is long past time to receive a "yes" or "no" answer.
The letter also is proof that, while President Obama and other liberals have referred to the situation as a "phony scandal," conservative organizations still are targets, said Cleta Mitchell, a Washington, D.C., lawyer representing the Tea Party Patriots and several other conservative groups.
"This is tantamount to an audit. This is the continuation of the same thing they've been doing for four years. They have not stopped," she said Thursday. "Tea Party Patriots has responded to all of the requests of the IRS to date, but that has gotten us nowhere. They just keep asking more questions. We are now looking at potential legal remedies, but that's not easy. Congress has made it quite difficult to sue the IRS."
The letter, according to the IRS, is simply an attempt to gather information necessary for the agency to determine whether the Tea Party Patriots is eligible for tax-exempt status under current law. Meeting the tax-exempt criteria requires that a group's "primary" function and activities not be political in nature.
Since news of the IRS targeting scandal broke this spring, the agency also argues that it has made significant progress in sifting through a backlog of groups — including the Tea Party Patriots — that have been waiting years for a decision.
As of last week, the IRS said, it has closed 64 percent of outstanding cases and approved 65 of 85 organizations for 501(c)(4) status.
But for the groups still awaiting approval, last week's letter represents nothing more than a delaying tactic, said Jenny Beth Martin, president and co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots.
Reviewing information on the group's activities in the 2012 election cycle pushes an IRS decision even farther down the road. It also raises the possibility that the organization's future efforts, including in the upcoming 2014 political contests, also will be subject to detailed review as part of a never-ending approval process.
"What that letter said to me is, 'We got away with discriminating against you and we're not stopping.' [The letter] comes as a complete surprise," Ms. Martin said.
On Thursday, the IRS said it couldn't comment specifically on the Tea Party Patriots case, but did defend its information-gathering efforts and argued that it has made great strides in its tax-exempt approval process.
"There are instances when IRS must seek more information before we can determine if an organization's application for tax-exempt status meets the necessary legal requirements," the agency said in a statement. "Effort and care has been taken to limit the number and nature of these follow-up questions to focus only on the information that we need in order to properly evaluate the application."
The agency also referred back to an Aug. 9 statement from acting IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel, who said that political campaign intervention will be reviewed without regard to specific "labels," indicating that tea party or other conservative groups no longer will face extra scrutiny.
In its attempts to clear the backlog of agencies awaiting tax-exempt status, the IRS in June — after news of its political targeting had come to light — offered a deal to organizations such as the Tea Party Patriots.
In exchange for agreeing that no more than 40 percent of its "spending and time" would be related to political campaigns, a group's tax-exempt application would be expedited.
The Tea Party Patriots has yet to accept that deal, and Ms. Martin said it has no intention of doing so.
"I'm being punished because I didn't take them up on their made-up expedited process," she said.
Twenty-nine applicants have taken part in that process in recent months, according to the IRS.

Sony posted a series of videos on its YouTube channel during the past few days called "Evolution of PlayStation," looking back at the history of PlayStation and highlighting each console's impact on the gaming industry.
Follow us
Every day Since Feb. 15, Sony has displayed a video showcasing a PlayStation console and its place in the lives of gamers. It's hard to take this walk down memory lane with Playstation and not conclude that the rumored PlayStation 4 announcement at the Sony event Feb. 20 is definitely happening.
Evolution of PlayStation video lineup prediction:
Feb. 15 - PlayStation
Feb. 16 - PlayStation 2
Feb. 17 - PlayStation 3
Feb. 18 - PlayStation Portable
Feb. 19 - PlayStation Vita
Feb. 20 - PlayStation 4
We firmly believe today Sony will highlight the PlayStation Portable; if not, we'll go skinny dipping in an ice-cold river. Seriously, we'll do it, but first, we will have to be wrong.

State wildlife biologists plan to kill and collect samples from elk calves in several locations to help learn the cause of hoof disease in elk in Southwest Washington.
Starting this month, up to five young elk will be taken from private forest land in Pacific County for a comparative study with elk from the Cowlitz River Basin, where the disease had spread rapidly since 2008.
"We want to learn why this is happening and what's causing it," said Sandra Jonker, regional wildlife program manager for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. "It's a big challenge."
The hoof disease results in broken, deformed hooves and lameness that can hinder an elk's ability to survive.
"The scientific literature suggests as many as 40 possible causes of hoof disease in domestic animals, ranging from bacterial infection to nutritional deficiencies," said Dr. Kristin Mansfield, department veterinarian. "We have to understand the cause of this problem in elk before we can have any hope of managing it in our state."
Mansfield said the condition found in Southwest Washington appears to be distinct from hoof diseases found in livestock and other wild animals.
To help narrow the search for the cause, calves will be used in the study because they are less likely to have other health problems that may affect the findings, she said.
In early March, state biologists will collect seven to 10 young elk from the Cowlitz River basin for the study, as well as a second control group of up to five elk from western Yakima County.
Jonker said the Pacific County elk would provide unaffected animals from a similar habitat type and the western Yakima County elk will provide unaffected animals from a different habitat type.
All samples will be submitted to Washington State University, Colorado State University, the University of Wyoming, and possibly universities in England and Australia for analysis.
The problem is to understand the possible causes of hoof deformities, which could be bacterial, viral, toxins, genetics, parasites, nutrition, behavioral or a combination, she said.
The hoof disease in Southwest Washington appears to be unique, but veterinarians in Australia-New Zealand may be seeing similar symptoms, Jonker said.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife has made arrangements to donate meat from healthy elk that is suitable for consumption.
The agency encourages hunters and others who see an elk with deformed hooves to report their observations online at http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/health/hoof_rot/reporting.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. -- Sophomore Chrishawn Hopkins scored 19 points and junior Andrew Smith added 17 to lead Butler to a 75-58 victory over visiting Delaware in the first round of the 2012 College Basketball Invitational presented by Zebra Pen at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Wednesday, March 14. The win sends the Bulldogs to a second round game at Penn on Monday, March 19.
Hopkins and Smith combined for 26 points in the second half when the Bulldogs pulled away to a double-digit advantage. The two helped spark a 9-0 run to open the final period, stretching a 31-23 halftime lead to 40-23 with just over 15 minutes remaining.
Delaware (18-14) never got closer than nine points the rest of the game.
"We've got some guys growing and getting better, and I specifically think Hopkins has come a long way," said Butler head coach Brad Stevens after the game. "His consistency level is at an all-time high, both in practice and in games."
Butler (21-14) started slowly in its first game in 11 days. The Blue Hens grabbed an early 6-2 lead. The game was tied five times in the first 12 minutes, until a three-point field goal by junior Chase Stigall put the Bulldogs in front for good at 18-15. Butler stretched the lead to double-figures at 29-19 on a three-point field goal by Smith with 2:10 left in the opening period, before settling for the 31-23 halftime advantage.
Hopkins (left), who hit just one of four shots in the opening period, exploded for 17 points in the second half. He hit six of the 11 shots he attempted in the final 20 minutes, including both of his three-point field goal attempts. Smith added nine points in the final period on four of six shooting.
The Bulldogs stretched their lead to 19 points on two occasions in the closing minutes, before settling for the 17-point victory.
Senior Ronald Nored added 12 points, while Stigall added 10. Nored played in his 140th career game, one shy of the school record held by Matt Howard, 2007-11. Stevens played all 14 players in the win.
Delaware was led by freshman Jarvis Threatt with 31 points, including 21 in the second half. Devon Saddler added 10.
Butler finished with a 37-25 rebounding advantage in the game, including a 17-6 margin in offensive rebounds. Smith finished with a team-high seven rebounds, while freshman Roosevelt Jones added six, including five offensive boards.
Penn (20-12) won its opening round game in the CBI, 74-63, over Quinnipiac.

Easy-To-Do Exercise Brings a Bushel of Benefits
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
The lyrics are from Vanessa Carlton's 2002 Top 40 song, "A Thousand Miles." The mileage, of course, is figurative, but what if someone did decide to walk a tiny fraction of that distance for love, for charity, for errands, or for exercise? Whatever the reason, it would probably delight many health professionals who have been touting physical activity as one way to trim the nation's burgeoning waistline.
More than 60% of American adults are overweight, and about one out of three is obese, according to the CDC. In the kid department, 15% of 6- to 19-year-olds are also overweight -- almost double what it was two decades ago.
Sedentary lifestyles have repeatedly been held partially responsible for the excessive poundage. This is why many groups, including the American Heart Association (AHA), the National Association for Sport & Physical Education (NASPE), and AARP, are now promoting campaigns on how to incorporate physical activity into daily life. And since these organizations recognize the challenge of getting people moving, many have included fitness walking into their recommendations.
"Something is better than nothing," says Melane Kinney Hoffmann, director of health campaigns at AARP. "Everyone, even people who are totally sedentary, if they get up and do something, that's better than sitting in a recliner chair."
Besides, traveling by foot is something most people arguably know how to do, usually without requiring expensive equipment (except for maybe the shoes, but that's another story). It can be done for any length of time, and the intensity can be adjusted according to age, health status, and fitness goal. Plus, there are so many kinds of fitness walking, from strolling to brisk walking to marathon walking to volkssporting (more on this later).
So "Walk this way!" as the rock group Aerosmith would shout, and maybe one step could lead to a thousand, and that could lead to better health.

January 6, 2012
DETROIT, Mich., (Jan. 6, 2012) – Michelin Challenge Design has been honored with strong support from the automotive design community, including the distinguished designers who participated in judging the 2012 City 2046: Art, Life and Ingenuity theme.
This year's Michelin Challenge Design jury, in alphabetical order, includes:
Chris Benjamin – Design Director, Volvo Monitoring Concept Center.
Benjamin began his professional career in 1999 at Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design of North America after earning a BFA in Automotive Design from the College for Creative Studies.
After spending two years in Southern California, Chris was asked to join the Design team in Germany. He then spent the next 4.5 years in Germany working on almost every car in the Mercedes-Benz range. He was personally responsible for the interior of the GST Concepts shown in 2002 and 2004. He was also the designer of the 2006 GLK interior, and did much of the initial work on what became the Ocean Drive Concept in 2006.
Following a successful career at Mercedes-Benz, Chris spent a short time at BMW DesignworksUSA, which he joined as a Lead Designer. At Designworks he worked on interior projects for BMW, but mostly on projects for companies like Kenworth, John Deere, and Boeing.
In March of 2007, Chris became a designer at Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center in Camarillo, CA. After only a few short months, he moved to Gothenburg, Sweden for an exterior design that was chosen for production; a model that will be launched in 2012.
In October of 2010 Chris became the Design Director of Volvo's concept center in California. Chris was also honored as one of Automotive News Europe's 2011 Rising Stars. The award was given to automotive executives who are in middle and upper management that are most likely to become the top leaders of tomorrow.
Chris Chapman - Director of Automotive Design, BMW Group DesignworksUSA.
Chapman was the Director of Automotive Design, BMW Group DesignworksUSA, at the time of his participation on the 2012 Michelin Challenge Design jury. In December 2011, he joined the Hyundai America Technical Center Inc as the Chief Designer, Hyundai Design Center. Chapman will be responsible for new vehicle and concept car design.
Chapman graduated from Art Center College of Design in 1989 and then spent four years working at the Isuzu Technical Center of America where he designed the exterior of the gull-winged XU-1 concept vehicle. He moved on to BMW DeisgnworksUSA where he designed E87/E81 1 series hatchback, E53, X5, X-coupe concept and the CS1 Concept.
Chapman is credited for the flame surfacing idea in the car body design. The body of the car should reflect light in many different ways like a flame - an idea which originated from the BMW brainstorm designers group called Deep Blue Project in 1996 (the Deep Blue name has been given later to the BMW designed boat).
Patrick le Quément – Industrial Designer, Former Senior Vice President of
Renault Corporate Design.
LeQuement retired as Renault's Senior Vice President Corporate Design and Design consultant for Nissan Motors at board level.
His first job was as an automobile designer with Simca, where he only remained for one year, harboring, in fact, a burning desire to try his hand as a freelance. The company he founded in partnership with fellow designer, John Pinko, "Style International", did not survive the deep economic depression arriving in the wake of the Events of May 68. He returned to auto design, with Ford, a company that would be home for 17 years, working by turns in the UK, Germany, North America, Brazil, Australia and Japan.
In 1969, whilst working as senior designer, Uwe Bahnsen, Design Director for Ford Europe, suggested he follow a two-year post graduate course in Business Administration at Danbury Management Centre, University of Essex.
In 1969, whilst working as manager UK in charge of commercial and external auto design, he drew his first ever plaudits from the Design community for his work on the Cargo truck. Then, out of a range of projects over which he had responsibility, the Ford Sierra in Germany in 1979 emerged as a major commercial success and represented a landmark in the history of auto design.
In June 1985, he set off for the United States, the task being to prepare him to step into the shoes of Uwe Bahnsen. The working conditions he encountered there fell short of what had been agreed and he resigned, in order to retrace his steps to Europe, where Carl Hahn, chairman of the Volkswagen-Audi Group, invited him to set up a Centre for Advanced Design and Strategy.
During the course of 1987, an even more attractive proposition came his way: to take charge of Renault's style department, with carte blanche from Raymond H. Lévy, the company's Chairman and CEO, to effect any changes he saw fit in order to turn the design function into a strategic corporate tool.
Thus, in January 1988, under his drive and vision, appeared and moved forward the department of Renault Corporate Design, replacing the former Renault Style function; amongst other production models, we saw emerge the Twingo (1993), the Scenic (1996), the Espace models of 1994 and 1998, and the Kangoo (1998). At the same time, we witnessed the arrival of more than a dozen concept cars, spearheading Renault's campaign to build the image of innovation and quality it enjoys today.
As 1994 drew to a close, Patrick le Quément was appointed to also take charge of Quality, in addition to his Corporate Design responsibilities.
At the start of 1999, in the wake of the signing of the deal with Nissan Motors, Louis Schweitzer, Chairman and CEO of Renault, asked him to focus his energies once more exclusively on Design, both within Renault and Nissan, the latter having to be rendered more creative in as short a time frame as possible.
Patrick le Quément has received numerous awards, including the French Grand Prix National for Industrial Design in 1992, the award of Doctor of the University of Central England in 1996 and Knight of the "Ordre National" of the French Legion of Honor in 1998.
He is also chairman of the board of trustees of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure of Industrial Design in Paris.
Geza Loczi – GezaLocziDESIGN and Volvo Monitoring & Concept Center.
Since retirement from Volvo Monitoring & Concept Center in fall 2010, Loczi created his own company and continues to work in the design field and with individual clients. Loczi also teaches Automotive Design, with sponsored projects, at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
Before entering the automotive industry, Loczi studied his craft at the Art Center College of Design. In 1980, Loczi joined Volkswagen as Design Manager, Michigan Studio. This was the beginning of his international experience. Following Volkswagen, Loczi established his own consulting design company, Loczi Design. In 1983, Loczi worked as a consultant to Volvo through Designworks, Chuck Pelly Design, an international design office in California. Loczi then moved to Sweden, with his family, to work with Volvo. Loczi moved back to California with Volvo's consultants, Designworks, in 1985. In 1986, when Volvo set up their own studio in California, he was appointed Chief Designer, Volvo Monitoring and Concept Centre. Since 1986 Loczi has contributed to products such as the Environmental Concept Car (ECC), P2 cars in production today (S80, V70 and S60), and recently, the Safety Concept Car (SCC) shown recently at the Detroit Motor Show. As Director of Design, Loczi continues to sketch and develop designs through Alias on the computer.
David W. Marek - Chief Designer & Sr. Manager,
Automotive Styling Group, Honda R&D-Americas.
Marek grew up in Northern California around custom and rod guys like Don Tognotti and Dick Bertilucci, both who worked with Sam and George Barris before they moved south. He used to love going to Obexers Market in Tahoe to get the latest Tom Daniel creation but had a "problem"-- he could never just build them straight out of the box! He always was doing something crazy to them. Marek graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA in 1987 where he earned a BS degree in Industrial Design. He has been an instructor at the college since 1989 and has been instrumental in bringing numerous sponsored projects to the Transportation Department. Marek also serves on the Art Center Alumni Council. Today, he makes his living as the Chief Designer and Senior Manager of the Automotive Styling Group at Honda Research and Development--Americas. He's been with Honda since 1987--during which time he has been involved in numerous projects. Marek has served as Project leader for such projects as the 1994 Accord Wagon and the 1997 Acura CL. He uses his free time to create Automotive Fine Art and graphics for C.A.R.T. championship cars including the Honda team graphics. Examples of Dave's work can be found in various enthusiast magazines including, Road & Track, Racer, Street Rodder and Car Graphic.
Stewart Reed - Chairman, Transportation Design Department,
Art Center College of Design and Michelin Challenge Design Jury Chairman.
Reed graduated from the Art Center College of Design with honors in 1969 and elected to join Bruce Meyers, originator of the dune buggy off-road vehicles. With Meyers Manx, Reed designed and developed the "Manx SR", considered one of the best-executed, road-worthy kit vehicles. Reed's design career includes nine years at Chrysler's advanced design department; six years as the chief designer of Toyota's California advanced design studio; and eight years as vice president of design with Prince Corporation, now part of Johnson Controls. In 1994 he established Stewart Reed Design to consult to the manufacturing industry in both automotive and consumer products. Reed introduced the Gear Box concept vehicle at 1998 North American International Auto Show. Also, in 1998 Robert Lutz undertook the reintroduction of Cunningham Motor Corporation with Briggs Cunningham. The Reed-designed Cunningham C7, was unveiled at the 2001 North American International Auto Show, where Reed's experience and support for the exhibit design and fabrication were instrumental. In 2005, Reed returned to his alma mater by accepted the position of chairman of the transportation design department at Art Center College of Design.
Osamu Shikado - Hyundai KIA Technical Center Inc.
Born and raised in Japan and graduated from Koto City Art University in Japan. After graduation, Mr. Shikado joined Toyota design in Toyota City, Japan, and studied at Art Center College of Design as a sponsored Toyota student in 1985-86. In spring 1995, he moved and joined Chrysler design, where he worked on the 1998 Chrysler Chronos, 1999 Chrysler Citadel and 2000 Dodge Viper GTS-R concept cars and the second-generation production Dodge Viper RT/10. In summer 2004, he joined Hyundai Design North America in California, managing the 2008 Genesis coupe, 2010 Tucson, 2010 Sonata, 2011 Elantra and 2012 Accent—and a few more coming soon.

Our opponents were clearly up for this match and we'd like to thank them for an excellent game. Like many other teams in Kent, Tonbridge Judd wanted a piece of the Kent Champions and we applaud them for their play.
The first half was very tight with some signs of excellence from OEs, but no real consistency in such excellence. Good tries were scored by George and Josh Squ, with the first one being converted by Chris. But Tonbridge Judd had also scored as a result of a lose OEs kick, and a screaming run up the line by their 8 who was tackled by Lennox just short of the line, but hurled it backwards for it to find another TJ player who made the touch-down.
Half time - TJs 5 ; OEs 12.
We felt we had much more to offer and started the second half very strongly, with Max scoring after 2 minutes. But a few moments later TJs intercepted an attempted long ball between our backs, and scored between the posts.
Still just one score ahead and despite some decent play at times, it still wasn't clicking. The next 15 minutes saw no score, and one was beginning to get the feeling that the next try would be the crucial one for either side.
Bring on Abdul, an inspired and impact substitution, Abdul scored a fantastic individual try to make the breakthrough (and he continued to look dangerous for the duration). Converted by Chris.
This opened the floodgates and was followed by another great try from the in-form Piers, and the final OE try from the ever-impressive Mitchel.
But TJs had the last say, and we feel they deserved it, with a well worked try which they also converted.
Final Score - TJs 19 ; OEs 34.
Man of the Match - Abdul, for making the difference at a crucial stage in the match.

Prediction of convection from these shortwaves is difficult even within 12 hours, so confidence is limited. Generally followed a blend of mesoscale models for pops through the short term. Looking for 2-3 very subtle waves to move through this afternoon through tonight. Sfc and upper ridging this afternoon will help somewhat limit convection, as will limited instability less than 500 J/kg as shown by all models. Have scattered showers and thunderstorms over the west and central to 00Z tonight. Highs today in the 70s away from the Great Lakes shores will be dependent on cloud cover and precip. Have likely pops moving in tonight as another shortwave moves in and sfc ridging gives way to troughing. Fog redevelopment is also expected over land tonight. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 349 AM EDT FRI MAY 27 2016 Upr MI wl be dominated by a SW flow aloft this weekend, resulting in above normal temps and shower/TS chcs thru Sun. Drier/cooler air wl move in early next week as a shrtwv rdg/sfc hi pres follows an exiting shrtwv. More showers wl arrive toward mid week. Sat...Upr MI wl still be under the deep SW flow of warm, moist air btwn an Upr Rdg over the E and a slowly deamplifying upr trof over the central CONUS. Combination of pwat fcst up to 1.75 inches /nearly 250 pct of normal/, aprchg shrtwv/exit region of 60kt h3 jet max lifting out of the trof/accompanying DPVA, and sfc lo pres trof extending into the Upr Lks in the presence of diurnal heating should result in numerous showers/TS with h85 temps near 15C. The main limiting factor for convective coverage/intensity despite 0-6km shear fcst as hi as 30-4kts over the W wl be extensive cld cover that limits the diurnal temp recovery despite some late day mid lvl drying associated with the mid lvl jet surge. Greatest coverage should be over the W, where the dynamic forcing is fcst to be more substantial. Cooling off Lk MI and weaker forcing over the E should hold down pops there. Models indicate the mid lvl drying wl also tend to hold down convective coverage later in the day despite diurnal heating. Sat ngt...Models in fairly good agreement showing some mid lvl drying wl occur under h3 jet max during this time of nocturnal cooling. These factors wl tend to cause any lingering evng showers/TS to diminish. More fog is likely to dvlp under this mid lvl drying. Main limiting factor for widespread fog wl be a fairly steady S wind that wl tend to limit the diurnal temp fall. Sun...Shrtwv lifting out of deamplifying central trof is fcst to aprch. Although arrival of the drier mid lvl air may tend to limit the coverage of showers/TS, the prospect of more aftn sunshine/ daytime heating wl probably result in more aftn convection along passing cold fnt attendant to slowly departing sfc lo in Ontario and in area of DPVA/deep lyr qvector cnvgc ahead of the aprchg shrtwv. The GFS fcst MUCape is near 1700j/kg. Although deep lyr shear fcst no hier than 30-35 kts may tend to limit the severity of any TS, presence of mid lvl drying/greater sfc-theta-e difference could cause some of the stronger storms to drop at least marginally svr hail along the fnt, where shear may be locally enhanced. Sun ngt...Arrival of hgt rises/DNVA/deep lyr qvector dvgc/mid lvl drying in the wake of passing shrtwv/cold fropa wl diminish shower/TS chances. Since llvl dry advection is fcst to be marginal, some lo clds may linger, especially where the llvl WNW flow wl upslope into the Keweenaw. Mon into Tue...Although models show shrtwv rdging/hgt rises with sfc hi pres rdg dominating, the GFS does generate some lgt pcpn on Mon aftn over the scentral CWA along a Lk MI breeze. Considering the negative dynamics, favor the pcpn-free fcsts. This period wl be cooler and drier as h85 temps are progged to dip as lo as 5C. Tue night thru Thu...Not surprisingly, there are timing differences on the aprch of the next shrtwv fcst to move E along the CONUS/Cndn border. Some of the extended models show area of pcpn arriving as soon as Tue ngt, with drying by Tue. The slower guidance shows pcpn moving in on Wed and lingering thru Thu.

text: TCHO: The chocolate scientists tcho 21 December 09 by David Baker Home page image: Courtesy Rev Dan CattThis article was taken from the February issue of Wired UK magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineIt's 4am, and in a silent warehouse on San Francisco's dockside a light goes on and a wall-mounted webcam casts its eye around a cluttered room. To the right there's a desk with a PC, files And documents. On the far wall, translucent plastic Tupperware boxes are stacked on a shelf, each sporting a short alpha-numeric code. But the camera stops on a row of food mixers, softly whirring away and fed from above by shiny silver ducting. There's a pause and a minute change in the room's ambient hum as a motor is slowed. Then the light goes off and the warehouse is bathed again in the soft blue of a pre-dawn Bay Area night. Across the city, in his bay-view house on the Filbert Steps, Timothy Childs clicks off his iPhone, returns it to the bedside table and goes back to sleep. In the morning he'll be able to see if his recipe tweak has worked. Welcome to TCHO, the world's most technology-obsessed chocolate company. TCHO was set up in 2005 by Childs and Louis Rossetto, founding editor of US Wired and something of a post-digital-revolution guru. The pair never expected to find themselves making chocolate. Childs had been developing virtual-reality systems and Rossetto, since leaving Wired in 1998 on its purchase by Condé Nast, had been investing in high-tech start-ups. But a chance conversation led them to the industry's as yet unfulfilled quest for the perfect dark chocolate. The challenge, which spanned agriculture, genetics, chemistry, biology and logistics, proved irresistible. Along the way they would reinvent ancient supply chains, use the internet to improve the lives of Peruvian hill farmers and, if Rossetto is to be believed, help usher in a new age of social responsibility. TCHO's story started when Childs, now 46 and a self-styled "serial entrepreneur", was casting around for his next big project. A restless schoolboy of a man, whose mind darts from topic to topic with a wide-eyed excitement, he had made a good living since the early-90s, working in the then emerging field of real-time 3D web graphics. One of the founders of Web3D RoundUP, a notoriously riotous convention of early graphics obsessives, he bought and sold his way through various small start-ups until he ended up developing visualisation software for Nasa's Space Shuttle project in Cape Canaveral, Florida. "We had cameras look at the Space Shuttle when it was on the ground," he says, "to see how the flaps moved and the doors opened and so on, and then we would map that into a real-time 3D model that we could show to the managers of the project. It was really cool." A few months before moving to Florida, however, a former colleague of Childs's, Rob Polevoi had introduced him to one of the unresolved conundrums of the chocolate world: how to make high-quality dark chocolate that would melt in the mouth as silkily as its milky counterpart. Polevoi had stayed on at their previous company but was spending most of his spare time experimenting with chocolate. His early attempts, says Childs, were "unlike anything I had ever tasted". At the beginning of 2003, Polevoi proposed that they go into business together, with Childs providing the marketing nous. Childs was sceptical, however. Chocolate, he felt, was too crowded a market and, besides, he was comfortable in Florida and the Nasa project was propped up by good federal money. But less than a month later, the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated on re-entry, killing all seven crew members. Everything changed. "It was a massive shock," he says, "very sad for everybody, just crappy. Of course, all contracts were put on hold and so I said to myself, 'I guess I am making chocolate.'" He spent the next two years fundraising and teaching himself all he could about chocolate. ("This amazing, amazing, concoction really started catching me," he says.) And then, in 2005, he flew to Du¨sseldorf for Interpack, a thrice-yearly fair for the food-processing and -packing industry. "Interpack blew my mind," says Childs, when we meet at TCHO's San Francisco headquarters. "I had no idea how large an industry chocolate was. There were six manufacturers just of enrobing lines, which do chocolate coatings. I thought, 'This is an industry that can support six manufacturers of the same piece of equipment at a price point of $800,000 to $2 million-plus. Wow!' Alight bulb went off. And I said, 'OK, we are making chocolate.'" Chocolate is one of the most complex substances we eat, but its component parts are deceptively straightforward. In its purest form it contains cocoa fat and solids; sugar; perhaps some vanilla to bring out the flavour; and sometimes lecithin, which acts as an emulsifier and prevents the fat and solids from separating. And that's about it. (You may want to take a moment look at the unexpected extras in your favourite bar.) Good chocolate, however, has physical, structural and chemical properties that can come only from an elaborate and multivariate production process. It must, for example, melt just below (human) body temperature, at about 35°C, allowing it to flow smoothly and slowly over the tastebuds. A lower melting point means a pocket full of mush; higher, and the chocolate forms a tacky paste on the roof of the mouth. But, just as importantly, to retain its characteristic "snap", it must melt quickly and suddenly when it gets to this point and not before. And that is just the texture. Chocolate's sophisticated flavour is the result of hundreds of interrelated chemical reactions, many of which are still not understood. These depend on almost infinitesimally minute adjustments to the three key stages of chocolate-making: fermentation; roasting; and a kind of mixing-mashing reducing hybrid called "conching". Childs, the self-styled "eternal tweaker", had found a new project to tweak. Read page 2 123 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Re: HP Pavilion g6-1257sa keyboard problem
Hi sambuchanan1,
I'm sorry but this is a peer-to-peer community of HP customers, and not a venue to contact HP directly. Most of the users here are consumers like yourself who are offering solutions because they like to help others, and any HP employees you see are here on their own capacity and not representing the company.
If you have additional or direct feedback for HP about their products or services, or questions about repair, you can use the link below for contact information.
If you have other questions and concerns about using the forum, please feel free to send me a private message.
Thank you.
Re: HP Pavilion g6-1257sa keyboard problem
I've been having the same problem since I got my new g6 in Aug. I just got off the phone with what seems to be the solution, (got my fingers crossed). It seems to be within the "Sticky Keys" function....it is a short cut, by pressing the key twice it locks it ON. You access this by pressing the "shift" key 5 times, then click on the Go to ease.... , uncheck the "Lock Modifier" box, click apply, then OK and reboot.
Re: HP Pavilion g6-1257sa keyboard problem
Ah thanks for that info although it doesnt seem to of fixed my problem so off it goes back to the shop tomorrow
Re: HP Pavilion g6-1257sa keyboard problem[ Edited ]

I know, crazy, right? I have the exact same issue with my G6. HP has totally lost any potential future business from me. This problem is one of several that HP has yet to resolve at all, after hours on the phone with them for other issues. Ugh. I just want my keyboard, sound, and monitor to work properly -- is that so much to ask for a computer purchased supposedly brand new?
Re: HP Pavilion g6-1257sa keyboard problem
I'm not getting that same "it" issue; however my keyboard at random will start doing random things. For example, pressing "a" brings up the help window (normally F1- which doesn't work while this happens). I have tried to contact HP support to see what is wrong and possibly fix this. Three calls amounting to over 1.5 hours and I still have this problem. I might take advantage of the store warranty i purchased when I got this thing. If anyone has a solution PLEASE let me know!
Re: HP Pavilion g6-1257sa keyboard problem
Someone (I think perhaps on a different thread?) recommended putting a link to the on-screen keyboard from the control panel, saying that if you launch that and then close out it should fixes the problem. I haven't yet had to try it, but plan to do so. Hope this helps.
Re: HP Pavilion g6-1257sa keyboard problem
Re: HP Pavilion g6-1257sa keyboard problem
Solution: I think I've fixed it by going into the control panel, hardware and sound, synaptics touchpad. De-select multi-finger gestures and scrolling. Seems to be working for me. Hope that helps.
Re: HP Pavilion g6-1257sa keyboard problem
What worked for us is to reboot and via ESC move to F11 where in the recovery-mode, we could roll back to a previous system restore point!

Giving a speech can be a very scary affair especially when it's your first time. But the truth is it is very easy to give a speech that moves your audience. Whether you are going to give a persuasion speech, an informative speech or a n entertaining speech there are a couple of things that must be done if you want to give a good speech. Here are the 6 things to consider for successful speech.
1. Focus only on the message you want to give
Select a single topic and focus only on it. You increase the chances of not giving a successful speech if you try giving a message that covers many topics. Put yourself in the audiences' shoes and come up with questions you think they may ask. Keep those questions in mind when writing down your speech. Make sure that the speech answers all the questions that may pop up in your mind.
2. Know your audience and the setting
Knowing the type of audienceyou are dealing with will help you make the most appropriate and relevant speech. For example, when giving a speech about a given topic to people who know nothing about the topic, it is important to give detailed definition of any terms used in the speech. On the other hand, when giving a speech to an audience that consists of experts, you can omit definitions since everyone understands the terms.
3. Write your speech and ensure that it thoroughly covers the topic
Look as for as many points as possible to support your topic. Remember, to convince your audience, they need to see you as an expert. If you want to use visual aids, prepare them in advance. Write a biographical paragraph to describe yourself to you audience before giving out your speech.
4. Practice the speech
Practice your speech in front of a friend. Set a timer so as to know the amount of time your speech will take. You an also take a video of yourself as you practice the speech to analyze your appearance and body language. If any part of the speech sounds unnatural or awkward, remove or edit it. Memorize all the main points and their sequence in the speech. Practice as many times as possible until the point when you feel that you own the speech.
5. Hire a pa system in time
Hiring a pa system is also among the things to consider for successful speech. Ensure that you do a sound system hire in time. The system should be set up and tasted long before the day of delivering the speech. Make sure that you have all the supplementary materials required when delivering the speech.
6. Dress appropriately and be confident
Remember that image is very important when addressing a gathering. People will always judge you based on what you are wearing. Dress formally and select the appropriate color of clothing. Be confident and look around your audience as you deliver your speech. If anything goes wrong during the speech, just breath in, laugh at yourself and proceed as if nothing happened. Keep your speech short and straight to the point to ensure that your audiences don't get bored.

I liked the looks of this one so much I put in my own order :wink:
Quick turnaround and a great $.. That's all I needed..
Fist holsters...(search related links)...Fist #1A...I have about 6 of that particuar holster...#1A with a clip, cant, and get the body protector.
Stay armed...use Fist, INC...stay safe!
I have a brand new IWB from HBE that I just got this week. Very comfortable.
sent ya a PM.
Pictures??? You got it! Here are my 1911 3" holsters. Goodluck!
Bommeland Max Con V:
Bulman PDL:
Alessi Talon Plus:
AKJ Concealco:
Alessi PCH (just sold this):
Andrews MacDaniel II:
Galco Royal Guard:
Each holster has it's Pros & Cons, but the Bommeland Max Con V is what I highly recommend. For more affordable one with decent turnaround times, I recommend the AKJ Concealco. This one even has adjustable cant. Checkout their website.
We have another member here "pens-66", who has some IWB 1911 3" holsters he can recommend as well.
I'll be glad to help you if you have any questions. Goodluck!
+1 on the Max Con V...coal creek armory has them in stock and you can find them in the forum sponsor area. Great holster, great service...Gary really does make quality products.
If money is the problem then look no futher than the Super Tuk, IWB. by crossbreed holsters, very comfy, even in shorts, can tuck your shirt in if you want, and adjust to tilt or straight draw,Super.
Sorry, no pics (yet). I've got three for my Springfield Micro (lightweight) Loaded 3 inch 1911.
A High Noon Mr. Softy (very thin, metal clip, sort of a "cheapo", but it works).
A Galco Royal Guard. Not bad, a decent draw, moderately comfortable (a hot spot develops for me after many hours of wear- might be able to adjust to a sweet spot). Thought it was great, until.....
Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 in horsehide w/shark trim. By far my favorite, it is the most comfortable holster I own. Smoothest draw too.
The MaxCon is ONLY available from Coal Creek Armory and it's $130 plus shipping. Expensive but a good holster. HBE makes a "Com3" IWB that is very similar to the MaxCon, it's about $109 shipped and has a lead time of 2-4's. I'm waiting for a Com3 to come in on my Colt New Agent, will let everyone know how it works for a 3" 1911.
Look at DM Bullard Leather - great quality and great guy to work with!!

Nino Bless says he respects Joe Budden's craft, but anticipates he'll lose against Hollow Da Don at Total Slaughter.
"It's such a tough challenge for Joe," Nino Bless says in an interview with Battle Rap. "I think he'll show up ready and he's fooling everyone with this lack of preparation shit. I know Joe talks about 'these guys don't know how good I rap.' The battle culture isn't just about bars. It's part bars and part spoken word sparring match. Look at Loaded Lux. The way he projects his voice is on an all-world level on stage. He's not all bars. His presence is without a doubt on a higher level than almost everyone. Hollow is the wild card of Battle Rap, literally the most unpredictable dude in it. He has angles, can freestyle, go personal, jokes, has punches and schemes, and more than anything, he understands the choreagraphy aspect. When he's writing a rap, he knows exactly where to stand, what hand motions to do. He's writing while practicing his movements. That is extra shit Joe is probably preparing for, but Hollow actually knows significant details that work."
Nino says he expects a "3-0" battle where Hollow wins all three rounds against Budden.
