Husband and wife horror movie team, Courteney Cox and David Arquette are in talks to star in the fourth installment of the Scream movies. Kevin Williamson is reportedly hard at work on the screenplay, with Wes Craven possibly to direct.
Arquette confirmed to E! that he will be reprising his role as Deputy Dewey Riley and Cox will be joining him as TV reporter Gale Weathers. Although it's recently been reported that Neve Campbell–who has plays Sidney Prescott in the film series– is opting not to rejoin the cast, David tries to remain optimistic she'll change her mind.
Arquette said, "I hope Neve does it. I really hope so." As for his reunion onscreen with Courteney, David couldn't be happier. "I fell in love with my wife on Scream, so the opportunity to bring [Dewey] back to life and for my wife to play that really bitchy character again, it's just going to be really fun."
Those two are too cute. The couple that cheats hypothetical death together, stays together.

CineMart, the International Film Festival Rotterdam's (IFFR) co-production market has made their picks for the crop of projects that will be presented to over 800 possible co-financiers from January 30 - February 2, 2011 in Rotterdam. The 33 selected projects were waded from 434 submitted entries, and include projects from renowned filmmakers such as Jan Švankmajer, Carlos Reygadas, Alex van Warmerdam, Andrei Zvyagintsev and Sergei Loznitza, as well as feature film debuts, films by competition filmmakers from preceding IFFR editions, and films that received Hubert Bals Fund contributions.
"It's always an interesting challenge to create a balanced selection that combines new work from established directors with first features by new talent from such a large number of often striking entries," said CineMart manager Marit van den Elshout in a statement. "This year, we are very pleased to present a large number of second and third film projects from ascendant filmmakers.
We aim for geographical spread and a good balance between makers, artistic content, financial situation and whether a project can actually find partners in Rotterdam. It has become a very diverse mix of projects featuring idiosyncratic filmmakers from over 25 different countries and I expect them to generate a great deal of interest."

February is the shortest month, but sometimes, it can feel like the longest. The celebrations are mostly done, the visiting a thing of the past as people hibernate in their own pads. Here's how to fight those February blahs.
1 Scrub the windows
Yes, it's too cold to do the outsides, but give the insides a good hard scrub and you'll let in all the light that's there. And let's face it; at this time of year, every little bit helps.
2 Clean out your medicine cabinet
Look for stale-dated over-the-counter remedies, make-up you don't even remember buying and any bottles that are almost empty. (Toss the first two, and use up the last one.)
3 Examine your summer shoe collection
Sounds crazy, but imagining wearing them with your favourite little sundress will give you temporary respite from the winter blahs. And on a practical level, if there's a buckle that needs to be fixed or a sole that needs reinforcing, you can get it done now so you'll be ready to kick up your heels when the sun comes out for real.
4 Go through old love letters
Everyone has a shoe box full of past memories, pictures, movie ticket stubs, dried flowers... Can you think of a better time to review them? It might put a smile on your face. And if you can't stomach it, how about that box of letters from friends, birthday cards from grandma and notes from dad? There's a reason you're hanging on to them. Pour yourself a glass of wine and spend some quality time with your past.
5 Clean your desktop
Even though it's not very sexy, plan to sit down at your desk for an hour, sift through your files, purge what's irrelevant and organize the rest. Do the same with your e-mail account. Your system may run faster and even if it doesn't, you'll have a better handle on the words, pictures and music you've been holding on to.

After wide exposure through musical- and comedy-world exposure, the Hayseeds began to introduce more and more original material (2008's No Covers should be self-explanatory). Hayseed's members have individually gotten busier with various interesting side projects while the main band takes a hiatus. As frontman John Wheeler works toward his more serious-minded debut solo album (scheduled for release early in this new year), banjoist Don Wayne Reno carries the Hayseed torch with his band Granny 4 Barrel, self-described as "Country music's first and only shock Country Rock & Roll band." If you thought Hayseed Dixie was outlandish, G4B takes it to the next level with their ridiculous outfits and a sound that retains Hayseed's Rawkgrass attitude and turns it up to 11. Granny 4 Barrel performs Friday, Jan. 4 at the Southgate House Revival (111 E. Sixth St., Newport) as part of the opening for area visual artist Derek Toebbe's "Urban Revival Art Show." The event (which also includes DJ sets by the Devout Wax crew) is free and starts at 7 p.m. southgatehouse.com.

I've been thinking about exposing Caleb to more art and creative play but am not sure where to begin.

Still thinking about it and while have to do more research, but for the time being, I really enjoy these color wheels.

This is not your Kindergarten teacher's Mulberry Bush song, but you can bet kindergarten teachers and preschool teachers and parents will be singing this new version. From the moment they wake until the time they go to sleep, Jane Cabrera follows two little pups through the day. Sung to the original melody, this has a repetitive refrain that kids can sing along with you as they enjoy the lively illustrations. 2-5

Rocky River girls basketball defeats South Mecklenburg 53-36
The Rocky River Ravens girls' basketball team walloped the South Mecklenburg Sabres 53-36 in an away game for the Ravens.
This game was very competitive in the first half. Rocky River's pressure half-court defense forced a few early turnovers by S. Meck. The Ravens jumped out to a 6-0 lead as they held the Sabres scoreless for the first five minutes. The Sabres settled down from there and actually held the lead at the end of the first quarter at 10-9. The Ravens were getting good shots but they couldn't get them to fall.
The second quarter was a back and forth affair. The Sabres led by as many as three points and the Ravens' largest lead was the halftime score of 22-19. Head Coach Odis Gadson substituted liberally as all nine Rocky River players saw action. At the half Freshman Guard Makayla Carter led the Ravens' balanced scoring with six points. Carter made two of three shots from three point range.

|UN News Service, Kazakhstan has 'room for improvement' on minority issues - UN rights expert, 15 July 2009, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4a8a732c19.html [accessed 29 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
In spite of the high degree of inter-ethnic and inter-religious cooperation and tolerance in Kazakhstan, a United Nations human rights expert said there is still "room for improvement" on minority issues in the Central Asian nation.
The Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan is "a valuable national symbol of the recognition of minorities and the commitment of the State to the preservation of the cultural heritage of minorities," Gay McDougall, the UN Independent Expert on minority issues, said, wrapping up a nine-day visit to the country.
But she pointed out that the body's potential and legitimacy could be boosted if members were elected by minority groups directly, "without reference to the cultural associations which are themselves not based on a principle of representativeness."
While appreciating the Government's establishment of Kazakh as the national language, Ms. McDougall warned that "sensitivity must continue to be exercised to ensure that the policy does not unduly impact upon the rights and opportunities of those communities and sectors of society that might require additional assistance, time and resources to gain proficiency in the Kazakh language."
She was appointed as a UN Independent Expert in July 2005, and reports to the Geneva-based Human Rights Council in an unpaid capacity.

Claims by Tim Probst that he's a fiscal conservative are confirmed by his actions. In his first term as state representative from the 17th Legislative District, he cut his office budget in half and refused to accept pay for the special session. That kind of economic austerity leads The Columbian to endorse him in the Nov. 2 election for the 17th's state representative, Position 1.
For Position 2, The Columbian recommends Democrat Monica Stonier, whom we did not endorse in the primary but who has benefited from several blunders by her opponent during the campaign.
The admirable frugality shown by Probst in his first term was exemplified by his opposition to tax increases passed by fellow Democrats. Such an independent streak earned him no new friends in the Democrats' caucus room.
Additionally, Probst has been ranked for two straight years as the Legislature's most fiscally responsible lawmaker, according to the conservative Evergreen Freedom Foundation. He was the only legislator in the Southwest Washington delegation, including both parties, to post a perfect score on the EFF ratings chart. Such fiscal prudence makes Probst far and away the best choice in this race.
His GOP challenger, Brian Peck, claims in a TV ad that Probst voted "for the largest budget in state history, paid for with higher taxes." That is false. Probst voted for a 2009-10 budget that included no tax increases, but twice he voted against the 2010-11 budget that did include tax increases.
Also to his discredit, Peck has repeatedly ensconced himself in the Public Disclosure Commission doghouse. He was told by the PDC to amend a financial report because he failed to disclose that he owns two businesses. "I made a mistake in the filing process," he said. And he was reprimanded by the PDC for improper wording on yard signs. "I made a mistake on that, too."
Probst is mistake-free, though, in flexing his expertise in job-generating and job-training areas. He is boldly independent and has an insight into the Legislature that is rare among first-term lawmakers.
Stonier's opportunity for an open-seat race was created by the retirement of Democrat Deb Wallace, who endorsed Stonier. The Republican candidate, Paul Harris, was one of two Position 2 candidates endorsed by The Columbian in the primary. However, after that endorsement Harris was exposed in a Columbian story to be a license-plate cheat who had registered his truck in Oregon for two years while living in Washington. Even if that was "an oversight," it's a sign of mismanagement that essentially disqualifies Harris as an aspiring legislator. It also helps voters understand why he lost to Jim Dunn (2004) and Wallace (2006) in earlier bids for this job.
A deeper probe into Harris' background shows he was fined by the state in 2004 for pollution violations when he was owner of a paint company that later went out of business. He also worked for a Portland paint company, then lost that job due to downsizing. During the campaign, he has claimed Stonier supports a state income tax, which is false, and that she opposes teacher accountability, another falsehood.
The Columbian did not endorse Stonier in the primary because we were — and remain — worried about her close ties to the teachers union. But she has campaigned effectively in her first run for public office, and any doubts voters might have about her are far outweighed by Harris' proven flaws. And that makes Stonier clearly more fit for the Legislature.
Probst is a proven success. Stonier has potential that could flourish into effective service. In both cases, their opponents have resorted to dishonorable tactics that are beneath the dignity even of political campaigns. Voters in the 17th are encouraged to return Probst to Olympia and send Stonier there as a hopeful rookie.

Pacific Region Reality Check: 10 Ways to be Earthquake, Tsunami ReadyMadeline Holler
At the beginning of every preschool year, I'm required to put together an earthquake kit for my kids.
In a single gallon-size resealable bag, I shove a change of clothes, bottle of water, snacks with a long shelf-life and picture of the family. Some schools also ask for a letter to the child and a lovey, which is when McDonald's Happy Meal toys come in handy.
I hate putting these together — it's inconvenient. And after getting them back, unopened, year after year, they also feel like a waste of time. But today's earthquake off the coast of Japan with accompanying and devastating tsunami, reminds me that, actually, a few minutes shoving packs of tuna and cans of fruit cup in a Ziploc isn't such a grave waste of my time.
As tsunamis head toward the California coast, where we live, like, less than a mile from the beach, I'm also reminded of how completely unprepared my family is for even a much smaller natural event. We have no stash of bottled water or canned food. Who knows how old the flashlights' batteries are.
Today is a good reminder of what families need to do — and it goes beyond stockpiling pallets of water. The biggest thing families like mine, who are spread out all over town is a game plan. Here are 10 things your family needs to be natural disaster ready — whether you live in the Pacific Ring of Fire or somewhere in tornado alley.
1. Game plan: you and your partner need to come up with a Plan A for when the big one hits. Who will pick up which kid and where will you meet. This way, if communication lines are down, Mom can be assured that Dad's getting the toddler while she's picking up the third-grader at school and the baby at the sitter's.
2. Plan B: come up with a second gather and pick-up scenario for instances where one parent is out of town or in cases where one parent is stuck in traffic/an elevator/on the other side of the bridge.
3. Talk about Plans A and B with the kids. Let them in on the plans pre-disaster so they can feel reassured that they won't be forgotten when something happens.
4.. Figure out who, outside of your city, you can call to send updates on your condition and whereabouts: that way you won't waste your phone's charge on repeating the same story over and over.
5. Earthquake disaster kits can include a whole lot of things you're probably not going to bother to squirrel away in the garage. (Really? A coil of 1/2″ rope?) Minimally, they should include the following:
A gallon of water per person per day, one-week minimum
- Food
- Can opener
- Cash
- Extra blankets
- Matches and lighters
- Cheap but decent shoes for adults (in case you're caught in your flip-flops)
- Diapers, formula, bottles
- Wipes
- Tampons/pads
- Toolbox (which doesn't have to be in the kit as much as near it)
- Flashlights (one per family member) plus batteries
- Toilet paper!
6. Make your home earthquake/disaster ready: you can prevent a lot of injuries if you check for potentially dangerous flying objects now when the earth isn't shaking. Secure shelving and tall cabinets and dressers to the walls.
7. Figure out your pet situation. Throw a bag of food and extra water dish in your family's kit (also, a few extra gallons of water).
8. Know what to do as the disaster is hitting: in the basement for tornadoes, under a sturdy table for earthquakes, to higher ground for tsunami. Go through a practice once in awhile at home so it's automatic if something happens.
9. Don't panic, Part 1: remember, your kids are watching and taking cues from your emotions. It's normal to be scared and, eventually, frustrated. But dealing with those emotions calmly will help the kids get through it, too.
10. Don't panic, Part 2: remember, you're not alone — your in it with the rest of your community. Stay calm, help others, you'll get through it.
Crescent City, Calif., was ready. What about you? Do you have a family disaster plan?

Brett M. Petillo and about 25 other members of Oasis Church's Mission Group are hoping their test to give away or sell at a low cost about 36,000 pounds of produce Saturday in Gilbert will become a weekly mission of mercy this fall.
The Oasis Mission Group is giving away up to 60 pounds of produce to any needy person and hopes to sell up to 60 pounds to anyone else for just $10 from 7 to 11 a.m. Saturday at the Boys & Girls Clubs Gilbert branch, 44 N. Oak St.
The church group bought the produce from Market on the Move, a non-profit group that picks up what supermarkets don't take at a centralized distribution site. Petillo figures he'll be able to sell the cheap eats to as many as 200 people while giving away the rest to the needy.
Petillo, a Chandler contractor who organizes the Chandler Unified School District's annual backpack drive, said he came up with the idea during a chat with his 8-year-old daughter about what religious congregations can and should do to help the poor. Her idea was to set up a store that gave food to the poor, and Petillo said the produce giveaway is the next best thing.
Oasis Church meets Sundays at Basha High School in Chandler. Information: theoasisaz.com.

The History of "Gaussian" Elimination
Gaussian elimination is universally known as "the" method for solving simultaneous linear equations. As Leonhard Euler wrote in 1765, it is the most natural way of proceeding ("der natürlichste Weg"). Because Gaussian elimination solves linear problems directly, it is an important technique in computational science and engineering, through which it makes continuing, albeit indirect, contributions to advancing knowledge and to human welfare.
What is natural depends on the context, so the algorithm has changed many times with the problems to be solved and with competing technology. The sole development in ancient times was in China. An independent origin in modern Europe has had three phases. First came the schoolbook lesson beginning with Isaac Newton, whose contribution has only recently been recognized. Next were methods for professional hand computers which began with Carl Friedrich Gauss. Lastly was the interpretation in matrix algebra by several authors including John von Neumann and Alan Turing. Gaussian elimination is living mathematics that has successfully mutated for hundreds of years to meet changing social needs. Perhaps the only certainty about future algorithms is their name.
This talk has been given to undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and mathematics seminars and colloquia at several institutions: Stanford Univ. - Univ. of California at Berkeley - Purdue Univ. - Univ. of San Francisco - California State Univ. East Bay

John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Scientific Computing
Scientific computing has existed as both a mathematical speciality and as an occupation for over two hundred years. The first professional, human computers were employed by astronomical observatories to express observations in celestial coordinates and to calculate ephermerides. Computers entered government cartographic bureaus and then agricultural agencies after Carl Friedrich Gauss introduced least squares methods and then modern statistics and econometrics were developed. A variety of mechanical aids were invented to help the human computers including manual calculators and differential analyzers.
The invention of modern computers (those digital, electronic, and programmable) in the mid 1940s represented a paradigm shift in what could be achieved through calculation. From his wartime military duties John von Neumann acquired what he described as an "obscene" interest in mechanized calculations. No one was better situated than he to understand the advances that could be realized but also the whole range of technical obstacles that had to be overcome. As a necessary prerequisite to that work von Neumann created computer science through a series of influential reports that described the design and use of the computers being built first at the Univ. of Pennsylvania and later at the Institute of Advanced Study.

|From the Pulpit
Changed by God
Rev. Linda Battello
Jacob was one of Isaac's twin sons. He tricked his brother, Esau, out of his inheritance and left the country for fear of what his brother would do. He made a life for himself and created a family. God looked at Jacob and did not see only the trickster or the son who played on his father's favoritism, but a man who God could use.

For Google to pay attention to the backlinks and boost your page positions, links must come from relevant websites that create a natural path between their business and yours.

Significantly less prominent than the Vagos, the Varrios Los Aztecas are a Mexican gang and are led by Cesar Vialpando. They have a friendship with the Grove Street Families due to Cesar dating and intending to marry Kendl Johnson, his close friendship with Carl Johnson, and due to the gangs having common enemies, but this is far from solid. Indeed, Varrios will still challenge Carl Johnson if they see him on the streets, calling out insults against the Grove Street Families gang and attacking with fists or weapons. They will attack other GSF members on sight, and vice versa. The Varrios are rivals with the Vagos and the San Fierro Rifa, and are also believed to be on bad terms with the Ballas.
The Varrios are traditionally anti-narcotics, with heavy involvement in gun running and street violence, and they only have a few territories compared to other gangs, and these are clustered around the south-western areas of Eastern Los Santos. Varrios Los Aztecas members are mostly seen wearing turquoise bandanas and sunglasses, dressed in 'cholo' style clothing. Sunny, Gal and Hazer are other gang veterans who help Cesar and Carl recover some of their lost territory near the end of the game. The Varrios are also traditionally into lowriding and have betting competitions which are called the Lowrider Challenge which can be found at Unity Station after talking to a man with a bandana and tan working outfit on the outside wall of the station's parking lot.

Bone reburial bill riles Native Hawaiians
By Associated Press
HONOLULU (AP) Dug-up bones and unidentified remains of Native Hawaiians may be reburied on an uninhabited island if a law being considered by the state Senate passes.
Hawaii lawmakers are considering a bill that would designate the island of Kahoolawe as the resting place for unknown or "inadvertently discovered" native bones when those remains can't be reburied nearby.
The state department that oversees historical preservation supports the bill. But several Native Hawaiians have voiced their opposition, saying that moving bones off their island of origin would be culturally inappropriate.
Critics of the bill tell lawmakers they don't believe the state is qualified to make decisions about such burials without thorough consultation with Native Hawaiian groups. They also express concern about the difficulty of protecting and maintaining burial sites on Kahoolawe.

SOA Governance
SOA Governance in the future
Fillmore Bowen 120000CYK5 firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  soa governance 874 Visits
Thinking about SOA and SOA Governance in 2009 and beyond. It seems amazing, but a lot of people have still not heard about SOA and don't what SOA Governance is. As SOA becomes mainstream are there ways that SOA Governance can help companies beyond just SOA. Governance is an important topic beyond SOA, and the processes and patterns that SOA Governance has could be useful for IT governance, Business Process governance and other types of governance. Can the current processes be generalized to allow for expanded usage. Makes for interesting thinking going into 2009.
Governance of Smart SOA approach
Fillmore Bowen 120000CYK5 firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  soa governance 939 Visits
IBM has created an approach for to implement SOA over time called Smart SOA. This Smart SOA approach is based on understanding that implementing SOA takes time and it allows client's to start small and growth their SOA over time. SOA Governance has been shown from multiple SOA implementations to be a critical success factor in achieving service reuse and agility of SOA success. Governance is Smart SOA divides the IBM SOA Governance approach into three stages that go with the Smart SOA stages.

SAN DIEGO — The sights greeting Jarrod Washburn during his long dugout stretches between turns on the mound were hardly encouraging.
Inning by inning, his fellow Mariners kept putting runners on base and marooning them there at an unprecedented clip. By the time this 5-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday night was complete, a team-record 18 runners had been stranded — just two shy of the major-league mark for a nine-inning affair.
It would have been easy for Washburn to fear the worst. After all, he'd entered the night with the worst run support of any American League starter, then saw the Mariners leave the bases loaded the first two innings and strand two more runners in the third with the game still scoreless.
"You can't think things like that," Washburn said. "You end up taking that to the mound and make mistakes."

So the veteran left-hander took things one step further. Instead of stranding opposing runners when he was on the mound, he instead spent most of his night not allowing any runners to reach base, period.
He used a modified delivery to retire 13 of 14 batters in one stretch, giving up a lone single between the first and seventh innings. The only runs he allowed came on a home run by Chase Headley in the seventh, briefly igniting the crowd of 28,640 at Petco Park.
But Washburn settled down from there and went on to record his first victory since May 5.
Adrian Beltre drove in three of the five Seattle runs.
Beltre bounced a two-run single up the middle in the fourth off losing pitcher Randy Wolf, then notched an infield hit in the ninth to cash in a huge insurance marker. Raul Ibanez added an RBI single in the fourth, while Kenji Johjima had a run-scoring double in the sixth to give Seattle a 4-0 lead at the time.
"We had a lot of opportunities," Beltre said. "We probably didn't do as well as we wanted to, but we got the job done. We got the win."
Mariners manager Jim Riggleman was so pleased with Washburn's work that he left him out there in the eighth. There were two out and a runner on third in a 4-2 game, with Washburn's pitch count bulging at 114 and Padres cleanup man Adrian Gonzalez at the plate.
Washburn wound up walking Gonzalez intentionally after he failed to bite on some early offerings. Brandon Morrow came on and notched the four-out save, but not before Washburn received his manager's vote of confidence loud and clear.
"It lets me know he has confidence in me," Washburn said. "I came out after the seventh inning and he said, 'Be honest with me. Let me know if you have anything left.' "
Plenty of other teams may want to know that as well as the July 31 trade deadline approaches. Washburn has thrown 118 and a season-high 119 pitches his last two starts, and he may be raising his trade value at just the right time.
The mechanical modification he recently made was a correction to a change to his delivery from early in the season. That first change is something he said hampered his ability to get the ball over the plate like he wanted.
"The thing I changed was causing big problems later," he said.
And Washburn thinks it's no coincidence he's throwing better. An advance scout for an AL East team, who watched Washburn pitch the past two times out, said this is the strongest and sharpest his arm has looked all season.
Washburn believes that before the latest mechanical change, he wasn't getting as much on his pitches as he could have been.
"It's shown in the results," he said. "My command is a lot better. I'm hitting the spots more often."
The Mariners finally hit some balls when they had to in the fourth, when Ibanez singled with two on to open the scoring. An error allowed the runners to move up to second and third and Beltre's two-run single brought them home.
That helped chase Wolf early. But Wolf, despite allowing eight hits and five walks in his 3-1/3-inning, 97-pitch stint, wound up charged with only two earned runs.
Seattle's previous team record for runners left on had been 16, done four times. But the new mark was set when Morrow lined out to right with the bases loaded in the ninth.
"Eighteen guys left on is a lot of guys feeling like they could have had a few RBIs tonight," Riggleman said. "But the key is, you're trying to win a ballgame. We won it and we're happy with that."
Washburn had plenty to do with that.
"He's really pitched good four or five times in a row," Riggleman said. "He's throwing strikes, working fast, letting his defense help him, using his off-speed stuff. All the clichés you use for successful pitching, he's been doing it."
And if he keeps doing it, teams other than the Mariners will start taking notice.

An adolescent specialist focused on gender equality, Hallman focuses on how policies, programs, and practice affect young people according to their gender and socioeconomic status. She works with governments and community organizations in low- and middle-income countries to assess and strengthen programs. A citizen of the Cherokee Nation whose childhood was marked by constant migration, Hallman is dedicated to the well-being of indigenous populations and combating the effects of social exclusion.
Hallman has made significant contributions to the fields of adolescent and indigenous health.

The cabin is roomy and ergonomically designed with low noise levels and good visibility. A full-view front window and large rear and side windows provide excellent visibility in all directions.
The four cylinders turbocharged and charged air cooled, engine is built for power, reliability and economy. This meets EPA Tier 3 and EUstage 3A emissions regulations.
The advanced CAPO (Computer Aided Power Optimization) system tunes engine and pump power to optimum levels. Multiple mode selections are available for various work loads, maintaining high performance while reducing fuel consumption. Features include auto declaration and power boost. The system monitors engine speed, coolant and hydraulic oil temperature. Contained within the system are self-diagnostic capabilities which display error codes on the monitor.
Optimum Hydraulic Performance
The pump output capacity has been increased.
Auto Deceleration System
When the remote-control valves are in the neutral position for more than 4 seconds, the CPU controller instructs the accel actuator to reduce engine speed to 1,000rpm and 60 seconds later, engine speed is reduced to a low idle automatically. This decreases fuel consumption and reduces cabin noise levels.
Boom & Arm Holding System
The holding valves in the main control valve prevent boom & arm lowering during an extended period in the neutral position.
Boom & Arm Flow Regeneration System
The flow regeneration valve provides smooth and fast operation without cylinder cavitation.
Hydraulically Dampered Travel Pedal
Improved travel controllability & smoother travel has been achieved via shock reducing components.
Pump Flow Control System
When in neutral the pump flow is minimised to reduce power loss. During operation maximum pump flow is delivered to the actuator to increase speed. Movement of the control lever automatically adjusts pump flow, with cylinder speed controlled proportionally.
Power Boost Control System
In power mode the digging force increases about 10%.
One-Touch Decel. System
When the one-touch decel switch is engaged, the CPU controller limits the accel actuator to an 800rpm idle. When the one-touch decel Switch is disengaged the engine speed recovers to its preset rpm.
Self-Diagnostics System
The CPU controller diagnoses problems in the CAPO system caused by electric and hydraulic malfunctions and displays on the cluster LCD monitor as error codes. The information via this device including engine rpm, main pump delivery pressure, battery voltage, hydraulic temperature and the status of electric switches allows the operator to know the exact operating conditions of the machine. This makes it easier to troubleshoot any problems that occur.
Attachment Flow Control System
Attachment mode provides adequate hydraulic pump flow to each work tool, preventing excess flow and ensuring the regular performance.

How do I do it? The previous posts all had you install old version on new os and then do an upgrade. However, there is no 7.2.5 for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit.
You upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit, then upgrade to Zimbra 8.0.5 then do an OS upgrade to 12.04 LTS 64bit and then an upgrade to Zimbra 8.0.5 for Ubuntu 12.04
Ben Franklin quote:
"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
The above is viable, but it leaves a lot of room for multiple points of failure.
If I were facing the same situation, I would build Ubuntu 10 in parallel, install 7.25.
Migrate a backup of currently running server to the Ubuntu 10.04 server and do a restore.
Zimbra upgrade to 8.0.5 and backup at version level.
Distro upgrading on production/high availability servers is a practice I will never choose to do, so I would opt for doing a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 followed by a clean Zimbra version 8.0.5 for Ubuntu 12.04, proof that everything is good to go, then restore the Zimbra 8.0.5 backup from the Ubuntu 10 setup to the new Ubuntu 12 setup.
This may equate to some added up front time, but should reduce debug time considerably and the potential headache that comes with it by removing OS/Zimbra version conflicts, hanging symlinks and/or permissions scenarios.
The above method will allow you to follow the Zimbra supported Wiki's in this method. Moving Zimbra Servers, Upgrading Zimbra.

'Losing the front big style'. Michael is the man of the moment and no mistake, but if what he says is true (and I doubt it, as he's always talking this kind of stuff to grab a headline), he's headed for disaster on Friday. He showed great maturity in the f1, make no mistake, but he's in danger of getting carried away.
I'm surprised that JMcG did what he did and how he did it last lap on Monday, but there's a danger of losing respect for the circuit, which is fatal.

Kimberley Grabas presents 101 Quick Actions You Can Take Today to Build the Writer Platform of Your Dreams posted at Your Writer Platform, saying, "What does it really take to build a writer or author platform? Money? Connections? An intimate knowledge of vampires, wizardry or erotic romance? Actually, the most important aspect to building an author platform is understanding that it's about engagement; about connecting and interacting with people who are aligned with your message and affected by your story. Your platform is a web of intertwined beliefs, values, emotions, thoughts, stories, images and ideas that stem from your own core philosophy and are ultimately shared by your fans. The tricky part is finding ways to effectively share your message with an audience that is yet unknown to you, and you to them. Establishing and maintaining a link to your potential 'tribe' is both the challenge and the reward of building your writer platform."

Mar 4, 2014This is an amazing book that reveals the true potential of the so-called flash novel. While each chapter is very short and self-contained, Tepper manages to build a complete novel experience in the process, with beginning, middle and glorious ending. While Merrill is certainly a quirky and often funny character, it is her depths that will stick with me. She's searching, learning, running, being found, and ultimately gaining perspective on her life. This is a must read for anyone who enjoys flash fiction, literary fiction, women's fiction, a good laugh, globe-trotting, or just plain stellar prose. Five thumbs up.
Sep 21, 2013Just finished The Merrill Diaries by the sooo talented Susan Tepper. She hit a walk-off homer, threw the last second touchdown, scored the game winning goal, any other sports cliche, or to change gears, skips the light fandango. More than well worth the purchase!! And hats off to the folk at Pure Slush, the book is beautiful!'
Sep 14, 2013Susan Tepper is a master at creating characters who live and breathe on the page. Merrill, the star and confidante of The Merrill Diaries, is a magnetic and often hilarious figure, a young woman borne along by whim, superstition, and a real desire to find herself. Her journey is unexpected and completely entertaining, and the closing moments are really sensational. I'm certain Merrill will win the hearts of many more readers.
Sep 10, 2013An endearing tale about a woman who is truly living by the wind. Merrill is a bumbling but endearing character whose voice is addictive from the get. I was excited to follow her. She tells it like she sees it, she travels (taking thorough note of her surroundings), she makes mistakes, she seems not to know what she wants then know then not know again, she listens and doesn't, she learns and relearns; she narrates her story with the intimacy of a diary and the details of a keen observer. Merrill is full of life and fun to follow. So follow her.
Sep 7, 2013Wow. I loved this book. Merrill is a world of contradictions: an adventurer who cannot seem to conquer her own skittishness; a twice-married woman who chafes under the bonds of commitment; a traveler by default, who runs away from life, to turn up in exotic places; a sensual being with a prudish soul. Tepper paints this portrait of a Girl Lost in fine, subtle colors, with a rich dollup of humor, and the reader roots for her (and despairs for her) from her earliest adventures in fire and cleaning fluid, right up to the outstandingly appropriate ending. The Merrill Diaries is a deceptively quick read about a complex woman, a character who is both robustly real and a ghost in her own life. It's funny, sad, and immensely enjoyable.

Super-rare Jaguar XJ220S up for auction
It's the XJ220 GT3 RS! Jaguar's super-rare and stripped out 680bhp XJ220S up for auction in the US
Fancy one of the world's rarest supercars? Just six Jaguar XJ220Ss exist, and one of them is up for auction in the US next week.
If you're unfamiliar with the XJ220S, think of it as an XJ220 GT3 RS. Built to homologate the XJ220C GT racecar, it's Jaguar's supercar with extra power and added lightness.
Tom Walkinshaw Racing (or TWR), who played a big part in XJ220 development, helped bring the S to life, stripping its weight by almost 400kg to 1080kg (thanks to all the aluminium bodywork being replaced by carbonfibre) and making it look meaner with a new front splitter, rear wing and more snarling side sills. The twin-turbo 3.5-litre V6 engine also had its output boosted from 542 to 680bhp. Enough to take its power-to-weight ratio way past a Bugatti Veyron's…
This example has had a recent mechanical overhaul to keep it tip-top, as well as a lick of paint on the outside inspired by the one-of-20 Lamborghini Reventon. It also boasts a TWR titanium exhaust system, which was a snip at 20,000 US dollars.
If you want to drive an XJ220 like no other, you'll need to be at RM Auctions' Biltmore Resort auction in Arizona on January 19 to 20. And with the hammer expected to go down between 225,000 and 300,000 US dollars (£150-200,000), you'll need a healthy wad of cash with you, too.
