Upgraded one of my server from FOSS 5.0.4 to 5.0.5. Things went smooooth.
Thanks Zimbra team. You guys make me look good. :-)
Just about to do mine ... hope all goes well :) but I have never had any really issues yet :rolleyes: (apart from user error ;))
I upgraded my second server from 5.0.2 to 5.0.5 this morning. It went just as smooth.
Good luck Uxbod on your upgrade.
Tiny issues on the fr language file (who said "as usual" ?) but easily upgraded.
Did mine this morning, upgrade was smooth and some important stuff has been fixed. Still not consistent on displaying HTML emails though, some still display as plain text.
All okay here - Good work the Zimbra team :D
Alright Uxbod. Don't forget to upgrade version in profile. :-)
Bug 27033 - HTML mails render as plain text intermittently
Bug 26432 - When Searching, first result is always displayed as text and not rich text
We completed the upgrade from 5.0.4 to 5.0.5 this weekend on one of our ZCS installations.
The upgrade went pretty well, but we did have some challenges. If anyone from Zimbra would like me to file a bug report, please let me know.
Themes Challenges
We had previously installed and then removed three test themes. These themes were reinstalled for some reason during the upgrade, and the final custom (production) theme was not (although the production theme's directory in the skins directory was still there).
We used
to remove all of the test skins and the production custom skin, and then usedCode:
zmprov mcf -zimbraInstalledSkin <skinname>
to redeploy the custom skin.Code:
zmskindeploy /tmp/<prod_skin_name>
At this point, the COSs using the custom production skin showed the skin in the list of themes (they had not after the upgrade) in the admin UI, and as before the upgrade, that custom skin was the only skin selected and authorized for that COS. Problem solved.
Postfix Header Checks
We are trying to reduce the amount of DSN backscatter sent to users on this system, generated by legitimate email servers responding to spam received with sender envelopes forged with the email addresses of users on this system.
A thread here in the forums describes a procedure to add two lines to /opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_header_checks.in comprising
to the end of this file.Code:
/^Content-Type: multipart\/report; report-type=delivery-status\;/ DISCARD No Third-Party DSNs
/^Content-Type: message\/delivery-status; / DISCARD No Third-Party DSNs
What we saw when implementing this change is that the Zimbra scripts are apparently running postmap against this file, which as I understand from Postfix is unnecessary and generated the following errors (which we ignored):
It would be nice to know that we can indeed safely ignore these errors; the header checks are definitely working.Code:
zmmtactl reload
postmap: warning: /opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_header_checks.H21781, line 5: record is in "key: value" format; is this an alias file?
postmap: warning: /opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_header_checks.H21781, line 6: record is in "key: value" format; is this an alias file?
postmap: warning: /opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_header_checks.H21781.db: duplicate entry: "/^content-type:"
Postfix Localconfig.xml Changes Not Sticking
The lawyers want us to change the Postfix greet string, which we did under 5.0.4 by running:
and then restarting the mailbox.Code:
zmlocalconfig -e postfix_smtpd_banner="\$myhostname NO UCE ESMTP"
This, and several other Postfix variables we added to localconfig.xml did not survive the upgrade. We had to redo this procedure to reenable the desired Postfix changes. The good news is, once added to localconfig.xml, the changes survive ZCS restarts.
The challenge is that we have now seen that some changes to localconfig.xml "stick" between version upgrades and some do not, so we had to recheck all of them to be sure.
Specifically, the additions below stuck between versions, though the helo change above did not.
postfix_smtpd_error_sleep_time = 3s
postfix_smtpd_hard_error_limit = 4
postfix_smtpd_soft_error_limit = 2
Briefcase Feature Becomes Unenabled - Sort Of
While running ./install.sh we noticed the following scroll by:
Previously, we had enabled the Briefcase feature on an account-by-account basis after our 4.5.11 > 5.0.4 upgrade via the Admin UI.Code:
After the 5.0.5 upgrade, the Briefcase tab on the users' UI who had the Briefcase enabled was there, but clicking the tab just displayed a perpetual loading... in the Briefcase display area.
We haven't fixed this one yet.
In the Admin UI, both the Tasks and Briefcase items are checked in the Features tab for the COS to which these user accounts are subjected.
But, in the Admin UI on the Features tab for each individual account, though both Tasks and Briefcase are enabled, both have a Reset to COS value button, which doesn't make sense.
Not sure if we should open a bug report or a support ticket on this one; anyone else see anything else like this?
ZCS Fails To Restart After Server Reboot
This is not a new one for us; ZCS has never restarted cleanly after a server reboot. Also, it looks like snmp takes a while to start up as well, so the zmcontrol script report the startup as failed even though the Admin UI shows snmp is running.
Here's what we saw five minutes after the reboot:
zimbra@ourserver:~> zmcontrol status

SalesForce.com Zimlet
This zimlet survived both the upgrade from 4.5.11 to 5.0.4 and the 5.0.4 to 5.0.5 upgrade, but the following code we used to have to run under 4.5.11 after each ZCS upgrade now fails. We are waiting to hear from a SF.com user today as to whether the zimlet is working properly without this code completing successfully:
Other Post-Upgrade Manual ChangesCode:
zimbra@ourserver:~> zmprov modifyCOS sfusers +zimbraProxyAllowedDomains '*.salesforce.com' *+zimbraProxyAllowedDomains '*.sforce.com'
ERROR: account.INVALID_ATTR_NAME (invalid attr name: [LDAP: error code 17 - ??+zimbraProxyAllowedDomains: AttributeDescription contains inappropriate characters])
All other post-upgrade manual changes (e.g. changes to local.cf) we have historically made were as-expected here.
Hope this info helps others,

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
In most cases, employees simply become too busy to rework the process, to reorganize or sometimes to even notice there is a problem. Author and business advisor Patty Azzarello has a few tips businesses can follow to get rid of those pesky bad habits.
Azzarello suggests pretending to be a new employee. Newbies look at companies with fresh eyes and can easily spot what is working well and what isn't. Try to look at your company with the same fresh eyes by looking at the structure of the operations and spotting the aspects that you would be proud to show off and the parts you'd rather no one knew about.
Another way to get rid of bad habits is to simply have employees point them out to you. Azzarello used to hold yearly meetings where the company would discuss all the "stupid stuff" they did. Not only will it open everyone's eyes to the company's bad habits, but it will also encourage employees to find better solutions. Of course, a meeting like this can easily lead to a complaint fest, so it is important to lead everyone in the right direction. Perhaps start off by focusing on just one bad habit and working toward a better solution.
Lastly, Azzarello says she tries to view the situation in a "parallel universe." She imagines a version of herself that is "smarter, [a] faster thinker, better problem solver, better negotiator, better communicator, better networker and with better hair." Then, she imagines what that crazy-smart version of herself would do in the very same situation. She says this actually helps her think of the situation in a new angle and helps find a creative solution.

 benefiting astronomers, no?

The irony is that the SOFA library was written precisely because the IAU felt that there should be a solid astrometry library available to the community. I can't speak for them but I get the impression that they feel they are trying hard for this to be usable by everyone and don't understand why everyone who wants to use it is upset about the license. From what I recall the sticking points are entirely around forking and damaging the IAU reputation by local patching although I think that much of what they want can be done by copyright enforcement rather than licensing.

Concrete examples of how people are actively deciding not to use the code because of the license might help.

Catalog Management - Best Practices for a Manufacturing Organization
Catalog Management is increasingly garnering industry interest as a strategic weapon to better inform, influence and convince buyers to purchase products. Catalogs that are rich, accurate and up-to-date provide a means for differentiation in highly competitive industries where margins are reducing drastically.
But implementing a world-class catalog management system is not easy. Product information has multiple facets – content, images and documents – that are worked upon and required by many departments within the organization, often at the same time. In addition, as companies progress into multi-channel catalogs – primarily Print and Web – the task of managing and ensuring consistent product information across all customer touch-points becomes even more complex.
The creation of a catalog involves two distinct process groups - product change management (preparation of the product information) and catalog management (creation and design of a specific channel catalog). Maximum process efficiency is achieved by clearly defining the skills and talents required in each step of the process, and presenting those stakeholders with the correct tools and information.
The complexity of managing product information and creating catalogs can be better tackled by analyzing the various processes in an organization, and defining a set of core best practices that efficiently underpins these tasks.
This document is about a set of such practices. These best practices are built around the basic building blocks of catalog management – data, people, processes and measurements – with further analysis of best practices for each.
Ongoing evaluation of the best practices ensures that the catalog management system is refined and stays in line with the organization as it evolves.
Organizations that are using these best practices are able to organize people and processes around product information, and are producing rich, accurate and up-to-date catalogs that can be presented consistently to all customer touch-points.

I am mantaining an old java application which has dcm4che as its library. The dcm4che library is not just a jar file. It is a folder which contains jar files and other folders with some properties files and classes in different folders. I am using WindowsXP and java 1.6.
When we run our application, we need to put those folders, jar files into the classpath by doing something like these:
set CLASSPATH=.;%PROJ_HOME%\classes;^
Now I try to put all of them into one jar file to simplify the sources control. So I create a manifest.txt file with the following content:
Class-Path: classes;resources;lib\dcm4che.jar;getopt.jar
Then I create a dcm4che.jar by running jar:
jar -cfm dcm4che.jar manifest.txt *
A dcm4che.jar is created. The I verify the result by extracting all contents and check the manifest file and my classpath is there:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: classes;resources;lib\dcm4che.jar;getopt.jar
Created-By: 1.6.0_25 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Then I modify the application classpath to point to the new generated dcm4che.jar and delete those older entries.
When I run it, I get NoClassDefFoundError. But that class is under the classes folder inside the new created jar file.
I am missing anything?

In the prime of his life and in top physical shape, he experienced sudden cardiac arrest this summer during a fun game of hockey with friends. Fortunately for MacLean, there were people around who started acting quickly. Two fellow players performed CPR until a local firefighter could retrieve the arena's automatic external defibrillator -- better known as an AED -- and shock him back to life. Paramedics soon arrived and he was airlifted to a hospital. With the cause of MacLean's cardiac arrest unknown, doctors inserted an implantable cardiac defibrillator.
MacLean's medical condition will end his professional hockey career, but he has vowed to turn it into something positive. He is now volunteering with the Heart and Stroke Foundation to launch a new CPR public awareness campaign.
Stan Lee
Comic Book Legend
The co-creator of Spider-Man, X-Men and the Avengers is characteristically upbeat about recently having a pacemaker implanted at age 89.
His official statement about his health condition reads.
"In an effort to be more like my fellow Avenger, Tony Stark, I have had an electronic pace-maker placed near my heart to insure that I'll be able to lead thee for another 90 years."
Mark Farner
Classic Rocker
Mark Farner of the legendary classic rock group Grand Funk Railroad had a pacemaker implanted this Fall. His wife Lesia broke news of his condition on his official website.
"Back home now and settled in," she wrote. "Mark is doing well. He's very sore and has had the wind knocked out of his sails temporarily. Doc said don't baby him so he's been up and around a bit. He's a trooper!"
She added: "He's making a lot of effort to not let the stiffness set in so he doesn't lose range of motion. The plan is to finish out the calendar for the year, take it easy over the winter and come back strong for 2013. Mark is in good spirits and still has that sense of humor about him. Says he is eager to get back on stage. Doc says no problem (and that) he'll be back at it in no time!"
More Americans Getting Pacemakers
The number of Americans getting pacemakers implanted has risen in the past two decades - and the recipients are increasingly older and sicker, a new Journal of the American College of Cardiology study finds. For the new study, researchers looked at a national database on U.S. hospital discharges. They found that between 1993 and 2009, nearly three million Americans had a pacemaker implanted.
Other study findings include:
HeartDeviceInfection.com, is TYRX Inc.'s new patient education web site, in support of its AIGISRx® Antibacterial Envelope technology, designed to help reduce surgical-site infections associated with heart devices, specifically pacemakers and implantable defibrillators (ICDs).
The new web site targets patients and caregivers, and has been created to raise awareness of surgical-site infections associated with heart device implants, and to offer information and resources that may help in reducing that risk. The web site also includes a "Physician Finder" so that patients and caregivers can locate physicians in their area who utilize the AIGISRx Antibacterial Envelope.
Patients with surgical-site infections following heart device procedures spend an average of two extra weeks in the hospital, undergo repeat surgical procedures to treat the infection, and cost the facility an average of $72,485. Additionally, these patients experience significant increases in morbidity and mortality.
The AIGISRx Antibacterial Envelope:
Strange, but true.
When a heart patient's pacemaker lead became dislodged during a coughing fit, she found there was only one life-saving solution that would keep her heart beating: She had to hang upside-down. For an unknown reason, the bizarre treatment reconnected the medical device and allowed it to continue stimulating her heart.
Her massive husband carried her by her ankles into the hospital emergency room. This incredible story was recounted in Discover Magazine by Dr Louis F. Janeira, a cardiac electro-physiologist in Terre Haute, Indiana, who treated the woman.

Partners, Volume 13, Number 3, 2003
|Wall Street Without Walls Opens the Door to Capital Markets
In the face of cutbacks in federal, state and local funding, foundation portfolio shrinkage and generally tough times economically, demand for services from community-based organizations is increasing.
Facing challenging conditions in the disadvantaged urban and rural areas they serve, community development leaders have fewer available resources than ever to maintain essential services, build affordable housing, lend money to small businesses and revitalize impoverished areas.
Community development corporations (CDCs) and community development financial institutions (CDFIs) are all looking for innovative ways to finance their projects and programs, and the Wall Street Without Walls (W3) program is designed to help them.
At first glance, it might seem unlikely that Wall Street investment bankers would be a potential funding source for community development projects. But increasingly, nonprofits across the country are recognizing that their assets and projects can attract traditional, structured finance mechanisms. The challenge is how to overcome barriers to capital markets that impede capital flows to needy communities.
Identifying barriers to capital markets
Most CDCs and CDFIs capitalize their activities through traditional sources of public, private and philanthropic investments and contributions. "Unblocking Obstacles to Capital Markets for Community Development Lenders," a paper by Gregory Stanton, director of the Capital Markets Access Program and the Wall Street Without Walls Initiative, offers insight. He says the major hurdle facing community development practitioners nationwide is that grant and concessionary-rate capital from philanthropy and government sources is declining and likely to decline more, while the need for community and economic development (CED) projects, such as affordable housing, is increasing.
Finding a solution to this "capital gap" will require the collaborative efforts of practitioners, philanthropists, social investors and capital market financiers to create debt instruments that can attract institutional investors into the CED marketplace. Facilitating discussions about how to bridge the "capital gap" is part of the work being done by W3.
Connecting Wall Street with CBDOs
The objective of W3 is to connect traditional institutions with community-based development organizations (CBDOs) in both and urban and rural low- and moderate-wealth communities, thus giving them access to the financial products of the capital markets. The program links finance professionals with local economic development organizations to offer expertise in addressing the concerns of disadvantaged small businesses, individuals and families.
By encouraging and facilitating volunteer investment banking, and ultimately capital markets services, Wall Street Without Walls aims to improve economic conditions in low-wealth communities by aiding the nonprofits that serve them. This crucial technical assistance harnesses Wall Street expertise in real estate finance as well as structured, public and nonprofit bond finance in order to make markets accessible.
Stanton, a former Wall Street banker, provided initial leadership during the pilot phase of the W3 initiative, focused primarily in the New York City region. Over the past two years, W3 has successfully provided financial technical assistance (FTA) to medium and large nonprofits seeking advice about efficiently financing their assets and operations from the capital markets on projects totaling over $150 million.
Small business loan funds and the development of housing, commercial sites, mixed-use projects and factory/industrial sites are among the projects receiving FTA. In each case, community-based organizations were matched with teams of volunteer bankers and finance professionals who helped on a pro bono basis.
For deals over $3 million, nonprofit organizations seeking financial technical assistance are often referred through national trade associations and intermediaries serving the community development field, such as the National Congress for Community Economic Development, the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, the Enterprise Foundation, National Community Capital, and the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation. The Securities Industry Association (SIA) works with the Wall Street Without Walls program to manage, track and assist the volunteer process to ensure that it is productive for both volunteers and the nonprofits they serve.
Capital markets workshop at FRBA
On October 8, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta hosted an Orientation to the Capital Markets session for community-based economic development organizations throughout the Sixth District.

orange door yellow brown rug spiral staircase
Posted on December 06, 2011 by Flea
Sitting here in my hotel room in Munich. It is a really funny hotel room, weird orange, yellow and brown colors in the rug and walls. A spiral staircase that goes up to the bedroom. Kind of a funny surrealish spinal tap moment me sitting here listening to bad music coming out of the television, too lazy to get my boom box out of its case and put on something decent. wait hold on, i gotta turn this garbage off its doing something bad to my soul.
aaaahhhh this silence is so much better.
So we were home for a week and then headed back to Europe for another couple of weeks before the christmas break. While we were home, the day before we left, we made a video for our song 'Look Around'. It was such a fun experience, truly liberating and wild feeling for me, I have high hopes for the thing, haven't seen the footage yet though.
I am just in the final pages of the book 'Anna Karenina' by Leo Tolstoy, it has been a long read that was a little arduous at times, adjusting my brain to the long passages written about a time that is hard to wrap my head around. But, I never gave up! And the final few chapters are truly riveting, tragic and sad and beautiful. As Joe Strummer said, "It's a sad and beautiful world". I'm not sure what I will read next, probably Jerry West's biography.'
Speaking of books, I heard that there is a movie just made of 'Midnight's Children', the book by Salman Rushdie. That is very exciting to me, I love the writing of Salman Rushdie. Also, someone just gave me a copy of a movie made of the book 'The Master and Margarita' by the transcendantly good writer Mikail Bulgakov. Can't wait to se it!!!!!!! It is 11 hours long i think! 11 hours of greatness I am psyched! It could be a terribly made film and I will still love it, the book is that amazing. But, I hear it is a well made movie.
God, I love sports. It seems for many people, sports and art are mutually exclusive things, which is hard for me to understand. I love seeing people reach for things, really yearn to take themselves to a higher level. It really seems the same to me, athletics, arts, academics.....I just dont really differentiate between the things, it all feels like human exression to me and totally the same. But, my point is that I am a televised sports fanatic. It is the only thing I watch on t.v. Basketball season is about to start, and as many of you probanly know already, I am an over the top unabashed freaky Laker fan. With great anticipation I await to dig in to the sumtuous feast that is the NBA season. When it clicks, and a team really plays together, it is a beautiful thing to behold.
I've never been bored a moment in my life. I've been delirious, I've been miserable, but I have never been bored, there's just too much stuff going on. I've also been ecstatically happy!
The other night when we arrived in Berlin, I took a walk and stumbled upon the holocaust memorial there. Man it was a heavy experience. It is made of thousands of concrete slabs, I think it is one for every Jew from Berline that was killed (not positive about that, it's what I was told). When you look at it from the street, it seems as though each concrete slab, which are rectangle or square shaped, are about 2 or 3 feet tall. But as you walk into it, the ground sinks down and you are surrounded by these monoliths that are like ten fet tall. Each one representing a tragic death. It really had a powerful effect on me. God bless those poor souls. Sending my love to them. It was late at night and I walked into the depth of the thing and really got lost in it. It is hard to comprehend that kind of cruelty, genocide. Man. It unbelievable what human beings are capable of. I read a while ago about the genocide that took place in Rawanda of the Tutsi people. It happened in the early nineties. A really great book called "We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families' by Phillip Gourevitch. That is a heavy book, but also really uplifting and inspiring. To hear of people who suffered the worst tortures that you can imagine, and yet retain their humanity, their love, it is amazing how great people can be in the face of the most malicious kind of evil. I highly reccomend that book. While I'm still on the subject of books, here's another one I reccomend, I was thinking about it today during our travel to Munich, about how much it inspired me and changed my life. My sister turned me on to it, it is about Haiti and an super cool guy who goes there to help out named Paul Farmer, and it is called 'Mountains Beyond Mountains' written by Tracy Kidder. It blew me away, and because of it I ended up in Haiti a few years after I read it. I really loved my trip to Haiti. Actually my trip was with some great guys who have an organization called 4real and you can look it up and see a film of the trip if you are interested.
Well it's 2:54 am and I'm gonna get into something else now.
Really, this tour is going so well, I'm so happy with the way we are playing, and more than that, overwhelmed with gratitude for all of you who come to our shows and rock out and really listen. You give me faith.

Re: HP Photosmart C7280
Hi my problem happens when I turn off the printer and shut down the computer. I come down the next morning and all the lights on the printer are flashing and I get an error on the screen of the printer B851FE84. Can anyone help or give some idea who to contact to fix this
Re: HP Photosmart C7280
Yesterday, I got an b0074d89 error with all lights flashing. I did the reset and it worked for a day.
This morning when I woke up I got an b851fe84 error with all lights flashing again.
What to do?
Re: HP Photosmart C7280
All the lights are flashing on the printer with code B851FE84 what does this mean ? And also I try to turn it off and on again does't help it also says it has lost coumiction with computer.
Re: HP Photosmart C7280
Apparently some defective components were used in the construction of the logic board (see photo). HP will not admit to this problem. They only recommed to replace the printer. There is nothing wrong with the printer, only the capacitors. On my C7280 there were 3 failed capacitors (the green cylinders - the puffed top indicates failure) and a 4th from the same manufacturer (TEAPO - many unfavorable web references to this manufacturer). I purchased 3x 330uF 16V and 1x 680uF 10v rated to 105 degrees Celsius (total about 60cents). On the logic board, the capacitors I replaced are labeled C613, C614, C660 and C662. If you are not comfortable replacing the parts yourself (or don't have a soldering tool), you will have to find someone who will. The time to repair should be less than 30 min - I did it in 25 min with only a solder pen. This fix stopped my printer from power cycling and also fixed the ink system failures the printer was having. Printer is working good as new.
Re: HP Photosmart C7280
Re: HP Photosmart C7280
Thanks for the info re: the bad capacitors. I removed the logic board on my C7280 and found that one of my capacitors had failed. I have removed it and am awaiting the arrival of new capacitors that I ordered from mcmelectronics.com, The one that I removed was a 6.3 volt and I am replacing with a 16 volt as you recommended. From my research, I found out that it is okay to use a higher volt capacitor. For anyone that is interested in removing the logic board, it is located on the right side (facing the printer). If anyone is interested in removing their logic board, I will be happy to share my experience.
Thanks again for you good post.
Re: HP Photosmart C7280
Can e-mail your repair procedure for the capacitors.What is the best way to remove the circuit board.
Re: HP Photosmart C7280
I will be glad to share with you how to find and remove the circuit board; however, you need to be aware that after I replaced the capacitor I now have no lights on the control panel.
Remove the black screw that is on the bottom right front of the printer. Then remove the black screw that is located in the compartment where the ink cartridges are (it is on the far right side and holds the side cover for the control board). Then remove the black screw in the back right side where the power cord connects.
There is a tab (actually the top part of the side panel) on the right side in the ink cartridge compartment. Lift this up and you should be able to remove the side panel.
There are four silver screws that connect the board to the printer frame. One is located under the white ribbon cable on the right side of the board.
I took photos to make sure that I put the various connectors back in the right place.
In defense of my printer not working now, I took the whole printer apart before I finally discovered where the circuit board was located. Hopefully, this information will keep you from doing the same.
Good luck and let me know if you have question.
Re: HP Photosmart C7280
I replace the bad capacitor on my C7280 and now I get no lights on my control panel. There are other lights on the printer, but not on the control panel. I have double checked that I have all the cables connected correctly and I even resoldered the capacitor.
Any idea as to what could be wrong? Thanks.

The musically themed story will pair a young songstress with "a washed up A&R man." They form a bond and sing, putting Johansson's singing talent to use. Carney confirms to The Sunday Business Post: "'I went out to Los Angeles to meet Scarlett a couple of months ago. She was everything you could imagine – very hot, elegant and she's really smart." Mark Ruffalo and Jim Carrey are rumored as possible co-stars. ThePlaylist has more.

- Will Smith's passion project, The American Can, is now eyeing Denzel Washington for its lead role. Smith will produce and John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) wrote the script and will direct. Vulture offers the following synopsis of the true story, as chronicled in the short documentary below:
"follows the real-life harrowing ordeal suffered by the residents of the American Can apartment complex when the levees broke. Trapped by eleven feet of fetid water for two days, a six-foot-seven ex-Marine named John Keller stayed behind to ward off looters and help care for the dozens of aged or infirm residents who couldn't evacuate. After spending two futile days trying to flag down help, Keller ultimately succeeded in getting desperately needed food, water, and medical supplies air-dropped onto the complex only after finally moving dozens of aged and infirm — and notably, white — residents onto the rooftop of American Can to catch rescuers' attention."

Financial Reporting Update Issue 69 �C January 2012
Clarified financial assets and liabilities offsetting requirements and Deferral of mandatory effective date of HKFRS 9
5 January 2012
In the Headlines Issue 2011/39
In the Headlines Issue 2011/40
Amendments to HKAS 32 �C Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
Amendments to HKFRS 7 �C Disclosures �C Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
Amendments to HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 7 �C Mandatory effective date and transition disclosures
The HKICPA has recently issued several amendments to its financial instrument standards: HKAS 32, Financial instruments: Presentation, HKFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures and HKFRS 9, Financial instruments, to maintain convergence of HKFRS with IFRS. The amendments are identical to those made to IAS 32, IFRS 7 and IFRS 9, issued by the IASB in December 2011, with the same effective dates and transitional provisions.
Clarified offsetting requirements and amended offsetting disclosures
In January 2011, the IASB and the U.S. FASB jointly issued an exposure draft to propose a common approach to offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. In view of the feedback received on the ED, the Boards decided to maintain their current offsetting models, but agreed on common offsetting disclosure requirements to improve comparability of IFRS and U.S. GAAP financial statements and to enable users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on the entity��s financial position. As a result, the IASB amended IFRS 7 by introducing new offsetting disclosure requirements. As part of the offsetting project, the IASB also clarified the offsetting requirements by adding application guidance to IAS 32.
The existing offsetting requirements in HKAS 32.42 are that a financial asset and financial liability should be offset when, and only when, the entity:
�� currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and
�� intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The additional guidance does not change these requirements but clarifies when the entity ��currently has a legally enforceable right to set off�� and when a gross settlement mechanism is considered equivalent to net settlement.
In respect of the amended offsetting disclosure requirements, the amendments to HKFRS 7 introduce new disclosures for all recognised financial instruments that are set off under HKAS 32.42 and those that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are set off under HKAS 32.42.
The amendments to HKFRS 7 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments to HKAS 32 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. Both amendments are to be applied retrospectively.
Deferral of mandatory effective date of HKFRS 9
The source of HKFRS 9, IFRS 9, is the result of the IASB��s phased project to replace IAS 39. The first finalised parts of IFRS 9, and consequently of HKFRS 9, which cover classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities, were issued in 2009 and 2010 but had a mandatory effective date of annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, in anticipation that the remaining parts of IFRS 9 would be completed in 2011. As this goal of completing the remaining two phases (impairment and hedge accounting) by 2011 has not been achieved, the IASB has deferred the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. Early application continues to be permitted.
In addition, the relief from restating comparatives when adopting HKFRS 9 for the first time has been modified and new transition disclosures, including a reconciliation of closing HKAS 39 balances to opening HKFRS 9 balances, have been introduced to HKFRS 7, which are applicable to the first financial statements in which HKFRS 9 is initially adopted.
A quick overview and a brief discussion of the potential impacts of these amendments can be found in our In the Headlines publication (Issues 2011/39 and 2011/40).

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- As Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell spent the weekend explaining an 11-year-old televised remark that she dabbled with witchcraft and unknowingly had a date on a satanic alter, witches in Washington gathered on DuPont Circle to celebrate the changing seasons and to take part in DC's Pagan Pride Day.
"I think someone was having fun at her expense. There is no way a real witch was trying to sit her on an alter to have a picnic. That seems to me that someone was just having a little bit of fun with her," said Washington witch Katrina Messenger of O'Donnell's story.
Messenger says at least a couple thousand Washington area residents practice her religion, Wicca.
"Witchcraft is basically the work of the wise. It basically means we are working with the world, that we honor the air, the fire, the water, the earth, that we honor all life. We honor the seasons and the turning of the wheel of the year. Basically it's a spiritual path for people who are in touch with the gods and design in everything," Messenger told 9NewsNow.
"Me, personally? I do public rituals. I do rituals to help people connect with the seasons because I think many of us have gotten out of touch with what the seasons mean, what the changing of the moon means, and re-connecting with those natural seasons because we're not too far (removed) from our ancestors. We need to be connected with what is going on around us," she said.
She says many people simply don't understand Wicca.
"I think people are misinformed. I think some of it is just like many things: we rely for information on people who are not people who are embedded in the faith, and there is a lot of fear.
"I understand some things that you don't understand can be a little frightening, but the reality is we're just human beings. We're people just like everyone else. We have jobs. We have families. We have aspirations for our careers. We have bills. We have mortgages. We have everything just like everyone. We're simply just another faith tradition.
"Interesting, now a days, is that many of us do a lot of interfaith work, so I work with rabbis and ministers and imams and folks from different walks of life to help do work that we are all spiritual people, working toward similar goals and that we can work together. There's nothing to fear. There is nothing to fear from us, and we have nothing to fear culturally from each other," she said.
"What is a witch," asked 9NewsNow.
"A witch is a person who believes in Wicca. Wicca is a religion and, basically, some say the religion originated in Europe and, basically, it was just a folk magic, and the folk works of the people in the country. It was, basically, working with the seasons, working with the earth, understanding how to grow food, when to hunt, when not, when to plant, when to harvest, and working with the old ways and basically modern witches have sort of a throwback to that...It's not an unbroken lineage but we sort of fall back to that, that we try to work with the rhythms of life, itself," she said.
"Do witches cast spells?"
"Well, I always liken spells to prayers. I was raised Catholic, and we did prayers for everything. We blessed animals. We blessed houses. We blessed children, and we blessed the folks who were dying.
"Well, witches do the same thing and we call those spells.
"Basically we'll sit and we'll pick a candle and we'll light it to say a prayer for someone across the country who is sick.
"Recently, I was sick and everyone around the world that knew me was sending me prayers, and many of them were in the form of spells," she said.

Already Broke Your New Year's Resolutions? Feel Better With Wong Fu's Resolution Fails
Posted By Ethel Navales On January 14, 2014 @ 11:31 pm In Pop Culture | Comments Disabled
It's hard to believe that its been two weeks since the Times Square Ball dropped and welcomed 2014.
And what comes along with every New Year? You guessed it- a handful of determined people making New Year's resolutions. According to Statistic Brain, the top ten New Year's resolutions of 2014 are as follows:
1) Lose weight.
2) Get organized.
3) Spend less and save more.
4) Enjoy life to the fullest.
5) Stay fit and healthy.
6) Learn something exciting.
7) Quit smoking.
8) Help others in their dreams.
9) Fall in love.
10) Spend more time with family.
Unfortunately, less than 10% of people admit to being successful with their New Year's resolutions every year. Even though we're only two weeks into 2014, many people have already given up on their resolutions, haven't started yet, or say they're "taking a break."
So where do you fall?
If you seem to have already broken your New Year's Resolutions, don't worry! It's time to bring back Wong Fu's "Two Weeks Later: Resolution Fails" short to remind us that we're not alone with our resolution fails. Check it out below.
Besides, who says New Years is the only time you can improve your life?

Got a minute?
It's no surprise that this season is a boon for retailers, but Target is remaining cautious when it comes to bringing on seasonal workers. The discounter recently said that it planned on hiring 2,000 to 12,000 fewer seasonal employees this year compared to 2011.
Target is quick to caution, however, that this season-specific hiring decision has nothing to do with sales. A company spokeswoman told The Minneapolis Star-Tribune that 30 percent of last year's seasonal hires went on to work for Target year-round on either a part-time or full-time basis. Despite the slight drop in this year's hires, Target will still hire between 80,000 and 90,000 temporary workers throughout the country.
Other retailers set to make big hiring sweeps over the next few weeks include Wal-Mart (over 50,000), Macy's (80,000), Kohl's (52,700) and Best Buy (24,000). Do you plan on pursuing a seasonal job this year?

Democrat Congressman Demands Obamacare Exemptions for His Rich Constituents
I'm in favor of giving this Democrat Obamamcare exemptions for all of his constituents as long as everyone else in the country gets an exemption, too.
One of President Obama's most ardent liberal supporters has defected from ObamaCare.
Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, told a Colorado health policy think tank that ObamaCare premiums will be too expensive for some of the wealthiest addresses in America — ski resorts like Breckenridge and Keystone.
He says he's asking the feds to let them sit out the president's national health system.
"We will be encouraging a waiver," Polis told Health Policy Solutions in a story that ran today. "It will be difficult for Summit County residents to become insured. For the vast majority, it's too high a price to pay."
The resorts are in Summit County and Aspen is in a neighboring county, which Polis also represents. He has consistently voted in favor of ObamaCare.
Polis also wrote to Colorado's insurance commissioner asking why an average 40-year-old mountaintop resident would have to fork over $427.80 a month while counterparts in Denver would pay $296.41 for the same plan.
So, let's get this straight: He voted for Obamacare, the price of insurance went up dramatically for his constituents, and his response is to exempt his constituents while sticking the rest of the country with higher prices instead of just rolling the bill back for everyone.
What an ass.

text: Home Culture Republicans Look to End VA Health Care for Over 1.3 Million Veterans Paul Ryan's plan seeks to end help for those who risk life and limb to serve the country. By: Nsenga Burton Posted: June 8 2011 4:44 AM 0 Senators and veterans John McCain (R-Ariz.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.) It seems the GOP, which professes to be the party that most supports the armed forces, is seeking to end help to 1.3 million veterans. According to Ray Medeiros of PoliticsUSA.com, conservatives are looking to cut benefits for disabled veterans, homeless veterans and the countless other vets who deserve health care. The article cites Disabledvets.org, which states: Republican Paul Ryan and the House of Representatives are looking to end VA healthcare for over 1.3 million veterans. These veterans are the least disabled veterans using the system, usually with disability ratings of 0 percent or no service-connected disability. Currently, the VA spends over $4 billion yearly to treat these vets, despite co-pays intended to offset the expense. Ryan's cuts are intended to save $6 billion off the VA's tab and $62 billion over the next 10 years. Instead of merely increasing the co-pay or taxing Wall Street, Congress wants to just cut your benefits out, all together. The article goes on to challenge the GOP's perceived "support" for the military and veterans, which is the reason many veterans historically vote for the party, and argues that they are being taken for a ride because the GOP does not protect those interests. We guess it's like the countless poor and working-class Americans who continue to vote Republican because they buy into the rhetoric that it is the party of the common folk, when in fact it is the party of the wealthy. It appears that if you are not rich or a corporate entity, then the party is not concerned with your interests. Veterans have something to think about -- continue to vote with a political party based on perception, or vote with a political party based on reality. Whatever the case, veterans in general and Republican veterans in particular need to be asking some hard questions. Read more at PoliticsUsa.org.

This week marks a significant milestone for PlayStation Unchained, as our weekly gaming gossip showcase reaches its 30th episode. So, before we kick things off, we'd like to extend our thanks to our loyal listeners for sticking with us over the past eight months or so, and we hope to be here again for another 30 shows.
Episode 30 finds co-hosts Mike Harradence and Ben Shillabeer-Hall flanked by fellow staffers Chris Clements and Alex Locher. This past week has been pretty exciting, as Mike returned from a stealthy trip to Konami's UK office to go hands-on with Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes.
So, no guesses as to what our topic of the week is this time around.
Elsewhere, the team chew the fat over the latest news stories, talk about PSU.com's recent review scores, and dip into a few emails from you lovely chaps.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to direct your attention to our friends at the Bring Back Resident Evil Outbreak Campaign. Since 2011, this dedicated group of fans have amassed over 9800 signatures, and most importantly, have managed to get Outbreak back online by recreating a dedicated Japanese server for fans to enjoy.
We advise everyone to check out this website if you are a fan of Capcom's underrated survival horror titles.
What that said, have a listen to episode 30 below or download it directly to your computer here. Also, please do take time to rate us on iTunes, and drop us some feedback on Twitter.

The rhythmic beat of the music sets the pace.
• Fit on 1st: 17908 S.E. First St., Vancouver. Classes Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Drop-in cost is $8 per class. 360-909-3331.
• Vamonos Studio: 315 East Reserve St., Vancouver. Classes Tuesdays, Thursdays, first and third Saturdays. Drop-in cost is $6 per class. 360-980-2110.
• For more information about Bellyfit classes, visit Bellyfit Northwest's Facebook page.
First, the music is slow and soft as the women relax their bodies, deeply inhaling and fully exhaling. They give thanks for their bodies, expressing gratefulness for their torsos, hips and arms.
Then, with the music growing faster and louder, they swing their hips from side to side to the beat. They brush off their doubts in their bodies with a flick of the wrists. They swirl their hips in figure-eight motions. They shimmy their shoulders.
The class may be called Bellyfit, but the workout goes far beyond the midsection.
"It's holistic," said Kelly Emerson, certified Bellyfit instructor and owner of the Fit on 1st gym in east Vancouver. "It's really a nice opportunity to get in touch with the mind and spirit, as well as the physical workout."
Bellyfit is a women-only class that blends belly dancing with African and Indian dance. It includes inspirations from Pilates, mindful meditation and yoga. And it's all wrapped up in an hourlong session.
Bellyfit is wildly popular in Canada, where it originated, but is just beginning to gain steam in the U.S. Emerson was only the third certified instructor in the U.S. when she earned certification two years ago. Now, Bellyfit is spreading across the U.S. and Clark County.
Emerson has offered the class at Fit on 1st for nearly two years. Just this month, the Vancouver Zumba studio, Vamonos Studio, added the class to its schedule. Other instructors are also beginning to offer occasional classes at local studios or through community education programs.
"Everyone's loving it so far," said Jennifer Shaw, owner of Vamonos.
The dance-inspired class is upbeat and aerobic, but not in the same fast-paced way as Zumba.
Edel Verzosa, a regular attendee of Zumba classes, took her first Bellyfit class Wednesday at Fit on 1st. The experience was better than she expected, she said.
"It's not as high impact (as Zumba), but I could feel it," she said after the class. "I'm sure I'm going to be sore tomorrow."
Bellyfit moves are more controlled, Emerson said.
Each Bellyfit class begins with some brief meditation and warm-up moves. From there, the class launches into cardio dance, which includes belly dance techniques. After the cardio workout, the class transitions into core-focused Pilates with moves working the abs, hips and derriere. The class concludes with yoga-inspired stretching.
"It's everything that I love to do to get a workout in," said Janet Hatfield, a Fit on 1st Bellyfit student for the past two years.
The class also allows women to get in touch with their feminine side as they move to the beautiful, flowing music, Hatfield said.
In addition to the femininity, the class hopes to inspire confidence among women and nurture their spirit, Emerson said.
"We're very superficial," Emerson said. "Bellyfit wants to inspire women to accept their bodies and be comfortable in their bodies."

This week's Mystery Banks Photo: These three siblings were born and reared in Fayette County and graduated from Vandalia Community High School. The two brothers live around Vandalia, and their sister lives in a Southern state.
15 Years Ago
1996 – Mayor Rich Walker reported that the project to extend sewer lines to the city's western Interstate 70 interchange was nearing completion.
South Central was knocked out of postseason play with a 79-55 loss to Freeburg at the Vandalia Sectional Tournament.
During a meeting of the Vandalia Chamber of Commerce, Fayette County State's Attorney Rod Irvin and Vandalia Police Department Sgt. Fred Willms told local business owners what they could do to fight shoplifting and bad check offenses.
A bill has been proposed in the Illinois House of Representatives that – if passed – would significantly reduce the information available to citizens about the activities of the state's governing bodies.
That bill – House Bill 1869 – would eliminate the publication of all public notices in newspapers in favor of placing those notices on government websites.
It's a dangerous proposal that inevitably will inhibit citizens' access to information that affects them.
In last week's Mystery Banks Photo was: Maurice Whitford.
Identifying him was: Mary Cripe.

Last week's Scrambler: The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. (Bertrand Russell)
1996 – A big crowd turned out on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 25, to welcome home the Vandalia Community High School wrestling team, the new state champions in Class A.
South Central won the Class A Regional Tournament in St. Elmo, defeating Patoka, 80-55, in the championship game.
Judge Harold Pennock III of Centralia took under advisement a request for a new trial for Stuart Heaton of Bluff City. Heaton was convicted the year before of murdering 16-year-old Krystal Lynn Naab of rural Ramsey.
I learned something new about President Abraham Lincoln last week while reading the "Historical Sketch" section of the Mt. Pulaski Times. President Lincoln held a patent.
He gave his invention the title, "A Device For Buoying Vessels Over Shoals," for which he received Patent No. 6,469. It was recorded on May 22, 1849, in the U.S. Patent Office.
If you are an Abraham Lincoln buff, Vandalia was the place to be this past weekend.
From young to old – and everyone in between – there was some Lincoln activity going on. It's a time rich in historical importance, as it marked the 150th anniversary of newly elected President Lincoln's departure for Washington as well as the beginning of the events that launched the Civil War.

Vicki Gunvalson: I Didn't Appreciate Tamra Barney's Comments About Brooks
On this week's episode of Real Housewives of Orange County, Vicki Gunvalson tells Tamra Barney and Heather Dubrow that she is in fact dating Brooks Ayers again, which Tamra isn't thrilled about. So how does Vicki feel about Tamra's concerns?
Vicki writes in her Bravo blog that Tamra has nothing to worry about. "I was bugged that Tamra said that she doesn't want me to wake up in seven to eight years and regret my decisions I am making now in my life," Vicki writes. "What I have to say to her is that... I won't. I love every day that I am making, as no decision that I have made is permanent, and I'm enjoying my life and choosing to do things MY WAY now."
Vicki also addresses her current relationship with her daughter, Briana. "I can't tell you how difficult this has been, having my daughter and myself continue to not see eye-to-eye on some very important issues," she says. "I am a firm believer that in time, things will always work itself out — I just don't know why it's taking so long."
So we still don't know for sure whether Vicki and Brooks are currently dating, but it sure sounds like they are! Either way, we wish Vicki all the best and are glad that she is doing what's best for her.
Do you think Vicki is making a mistake by dating Brooks again?

Let's get honest for a minute here. There's a solid week every month that women are allowed to be
bitchy more abrupt than usual. This coincides with all sorts of wonderful things like cramps, hypersensitivity, extended bathroom breaks, chocolate cravings, etc. For the last three years, I barely had a period. My body seemed to try to have one, but I just couldn't pull it off most months. Because of my unruly body, I didn't have any excuse for my abrupt behavior… except that I was bitchy (What? NO!).
Good news, though! My body is currently back to working correctly and my excuse for craving chocolate is back full force. This is a dangerous craving for me. I love chocolate on a regular day, so when I crave it on an extreme level, my dieting is constantly on the brink of disaster. Last month, everyone and their mother and their sister and their bestest friend in the whole world decided to make cookies. I'm not even joking. EVERYONE MADE COOKIES. And then they posted about it on Facebook. Cruel! Jess said she wanted to make some too and I was happy to participate in that. I didn't want to make any regular cookie, though. My brain told me, "You want chocolate cookies with walnuts in them." I said to my brain, "Damn, that's a great suggestion." So I made some.
I found a recipe on the Cooking Light website for Mudslide Cookies and went from there. They were perfect! Not overly sweet (which is easy to do with chocolate cookies), perfectly crisp on the outside, but pillowy on the inside. Best part? Low calorie! Granted, it's still a CHOCOLATE COOKIE, so it's going to have at least a few calories in it, but these aren't over the top. I made 30 ginormous cookies (as in the size of the palm of my hand) and they were only 4 PP each. You could easily make cookies that were slightly smaller, and make 48 at 2 PP each. Best part? They satisfy my chocolate craving without making me want to eat seven in a row. I get my momentary fill of chocolate after one! That's incredibly important for me. I have a tendency to go for chocolate CHIP cookies and then I eat four in a row just to get enough chocolate chips to actually satisfy my craving. That's not so helpful when you're dieting.
Mudslide Cookies (slightly modified from Cooking Light)
Servings: 30
PointsPlus Per Serving: 4 (or 48 cookies for 2 PP each)
- 2 oz unsweetened chocolate, 10 PP
- 2 oz bittersweet chocolate, 9 PP
- 1 1/2 tbsp organic unsalted butter, 4 PP
- 1 1/2 tsp strong black coffee (CL used instant coffee granules, but I'm classy, so I don't have those)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose unbleached flour, 17 PP
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 4 PP
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs, 4 PP
- 3 egg whites, 1 PP (CL used 1/2 cup egg substitute, but I didn't have that)
- 2 1/2 cups organic cane sugar, 52 PP (CL used regular refined sugar)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 11 PP
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Place butter, bittersweet chocolate, and unsweetened chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until chocolate is almost melted. (I melted my chocolate in a sauce pan on the stove since I have a tendency to over-nuke my chocolate.) Stir until smooth. Combine coffee granules and 1 tablespoon hot water, stirring until granules dissolve. Stir coffee and vanilla into chocolate mixture.
3. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt, stirring well with a whisk. Combine sugar, egg substitute, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed 6 minutes or until thick and pale. Gently stir 1/4 of egg mixture into chocolate mixture; stir chocolate mixture into remaining egg mixture. Stir in flour mixture and nuts.
4. Cover baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat mat (BUY ONE. Do it now.) Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets; with moist hands, gently press dough into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (the pressing is optional. I didn't press and they turned out perfectly round). Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
When the cookies are done, they'll be cracked on top and still moist in the center. And magically delicious! Hee hee!

To lazy to make a better badge text but it works fine
He says something different now
Now you don't mock me...
It's gone (again this was only because I had no tree sprite and I needed to give a visual)
No videos yet
Compiling to a JAR won't load any files (This is actually reading from the jar's filepath)
The main bugs can be found in the download
Hansiec -- Complete scripting of the WHOLE system (excluding that from what is included with java)

It looks like the Android community is really excited about Sprint's launch of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Another employee put their job on the line for this screenshot. Taken from Best Buy's intranet, you can see that the "in stock" date is the 22nd of April and the "street date" is the same. It doesn't, however, specify the name or model of the device but through the powers of deduction and logical reasoning, this looks to be the Galaxy Nexus for Sprint. First of all, the only other phone launch in stores on that date (for Sprint) is the LG Viper and this screeshot is of a Samsung device. And before you say it might be a different carrier, it specifically says "SPNT HANDSETS" under Sub Class. Earlier today we saw some plaonogram shots and now this. Just tell us already!

Fun Hack and Slash
This review is from: Prototype 2 Xbox 360 Game
Pros: If you played this first game this one is very similar to that games style. Very open world that you can travel in. A lot of different moves, and because your can level up you can customize you guy a little based off how you play. I think the game looks great. The animations from the different moves look good and the open world looks polished.
Cons: Game play can get repetitive. A lot of the game is get a mission, finish the mission, go back to the same place, get another mission, with some rinse and repeat. There are 3 islands so it does change up from time to time. There are a good amount of enemies, but you see the same ones throughout the game. That's why I would call this a hack and slash.
Other Thoughts: I don't think you have to play the first game to play this one, but it would help so you have an idea what is going on. It isn't the longest game out there, so if you are gaming on a budget I would try to find it cheaper then $59.99. I got it when it was $49.99 and I think that is about right for the game.
