5/4 Afternoon Roundup
Here is the latest roundup of news & information relating to Iowa State Athletics.The Jiri Hubalek situation is laid out very well in a Des Moines Register article in today's paper.Â* It summarized what the athletic department knows and why an investigation is taking place.Â* While the family in question, Leon Shade and his wife, are Hawkeye fans, they did contribute monetarily to ISU for one season in the 1980's.Â* According to NCAA rules, once you give money or assistance to a program, you are forever a 'booster' of that program.Â* ISU has internally investigated the ordeal, as well as called for a separate review.Â* Those contacted at ISU continue to insist that there was nothing out of the ordinary in this case.Â* Jiri met some people when he came over from Prague and has maintained that friendship ever since.Â* There was no improper giving of gifts or money to Jiri in order to have him participate at Iowa State.Â* One of the biggest cornerstones of ISU's defense is that if Leon wanted to steer Jiri to a program, it would have been to Iowa, not Iowa State.ISU Football coach Dan McCarney is preparing a list of visits and offers for potential 07-08 recruits.Â* Sources close to the coaching staff expect to have one of the best recruiting classes the football program has ever signed when all is said and done.Â* ISU has already received a verbal commitment from Nebraska High School QB standout Philip Bates and is hoping to wrap up a couple more commitments by the end of next week.For the most part, the 2006-2007 Men's Basketball recruiting search has come to a conclusion.Â* I have been told that the coaching staff has their eyes set on one player, and if that player doesn't work out for any reason, they will not sign any additional players for the fall semester.With the 06-07 Men's Basketball recruiting class almost completed, the coaching staff has set their sights on the 07-08 and 08-09 classes.Â* Lists of possible candidates are being made in the hopes of catching up to the other programs for the recruiting cycles.Â* Iowa State will be a little behind schedule when they set out to talk to recruits, however, it is about 11 months earlier in the process than they were for the 06-07 class:)Â* While most of the 07-08 recruits are still uncommitted to any school, ISU will have to work extra hard to gain the trust of potential players to steer them towards Ames.Â* ISU is expecting a very solid 07-08 class and hopes to have the 08-09 class as the highest rated ISU Men's Basketball recruiting class on record.There is a lot of hope that the big AAU tournament that takes place in Ames this summer will be a great starting point for many younger players around the country to hear about Ames, IA and what it offers.Â* Coincidentally, Jake Sullivan is the Assistant Director of the 32-team Harvester National Invitational Tournament that will be held in Ames on July 12th-14th.
Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.
ISU MBB: Bigger than a single person, player, or coach.
I bet they give Jiri a one or two game suspension and let him continue his relationship with the family... They sound like good people who just wanted to help out a kid.. Did not matter what he had across his chest or if he could play ball...
Clones Rule
Just can't help but feel for this kid...especially if he gets slapped with a suspension.
Sometimes the most sincere, honest intentions go awry.
I have heard that this recruit might be Jon Leuer from Orono, MN, any truth to it?
Leuer is listed on rivals as an 07 recruit...
My heart certainly goes out to Jiri. He had no intentions of do anything to hurt his eligibility at ISU. The guy bought tickets & made one donation to ISU; does that mean he will always be an ISU supporter??? As I mentioned to a friend at work, in 1981 is was charged with disorderly conduct in my home town and paid a $$$ fine. Since I did something wrong in 1981, does that mean I am still a bad person 25 years later??? %-6
Give me & Jiri a break!!!
Sounds innocent enough from the article. DA even advised so it wasn't like the family didn't make an effort to find out from ISU what was the OK thing to do. I'm just really happy he didn't buy a car for Jiri. I think a pair of pants and some food sounds like something you might do as host parents but buying a car sounds a little extreme. I really hope this still comes down to no suspension or penalties for Jiri.
ISU Grad 1997.
ISU Fan for Life.
Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
I think they said in the article they supplied meals? Good Grief! what do they think they did. "Go to ISU or i wont give you any tator-tot caserole! I might even throw in some dessert if you start!"
God Bless America
Yeah really, if the NCAA is really that strict, then there would have been no way I could have ever played college sports. (I don't, but I'm just trying to make a point.) Friends of my parents, also huge ISU fans and supporters, gave me $100 for my high school graduation, as a gift, to use for college tuition and spending money. Several other friends and family gave me money for the same reasons, because, after all, that's what people do when you graduate high school. What that have been a violation if I played basketball for ISU right now?? I mean seriously, where do you draw the line??

Data scrubbing in the Columbus City Schools went far beyond manipulating attendance data to inflate the district's standing on the 2010-2011 report card.
The report released from State Auditor Dave Yost today shows administrators repeatedly changed student grades from an "F" to a "D", listed seniors on the books who weren't enrolled, and passed students through the online credit recovery program who never completed the work.
Andy Chow with the Statehouse News Bureau reports Yost found top officials have been gaming the system for years.
"Another thing that we found was what I call bunker culture," Yost said at a news conference this morning.
"Folks were very aware that the things that they said or didn't say could affect their careers, their teaching contracts. They were worried about reprisals. More than one instance our investigators interviewed somebody who was close to tears. They were worried about their jobs."
The report points to the district's former data manager Steve Tankovich as having led the data rigging, the Columbus Dispatch reports. And Yost said there's enough evidence to infer that former Superintendent Gene Harris was aware of what was going on.
The report's release is the culmination of an 18 month investigation in which the state reviewed Columbus Schools records dating back to 2002 and interviewed over 200 teachers, 40 principals, and dozens of other district staff.
Columbus Schools officials say four principals have been suspended with pay and will be fired, according to the Dispatch.
Yost says he will send a criminal referral to prosecutors and the Ohio Department of Education for license sanctions.

Heat is an apt metaphor for the The Kickaways' career arc since their formation early last year; their most recent triumphs include a well received month-long residency at MOTR Pub in Over-the-Rhine and the March release of their official debut album, America! America!, on The Recording Label, the free music label/website founded by Pop Empire's Cameron Cochran. After seeing The Kickaways tear through a live set at downtown club Mainstay, Cochran offered his services and the foursome (vocalist/guitarist Austin McMahan, guitarist Devyn Glista, bassist Jake Ittel and drummer Adam Lambchop) readily accepted.
"It was little things, like that night we just decided to wear black pants, shirts and ties," McMahan says. "It just caught his eye."
Even when things have gone wrong for The Kickaways, they've turned out to be positives. For example, a poorly managed gig had them playing at 2 a.m. to only a handful of people one night, but their resultant anger translated to a furiously visceral gig … which earned them a plum opening gig.
"We were saying, '12 people are going to get a hell of a show,' " Lambchop says, laughing. "But one guy was there who said, 'Holy shit, you guys are really good. I want to book you for this Greenhornes show.' "
The Kickaways coalesced last year when the four childhood friends from Dayton, who had played together in various combinations — McMahan and Glista had been friends since elementary school, as had Ittel and Lambchop — decided it was time to pool their talents.
"We hadn't played music in awhile and one day Austin came to me and said, 'Hey, we're gonna start a band,' " Glista says.
"It wasn't really an option. So we did."
They began playing a much more subtle form of Country Rock which quickly morphed into the rootsy Garage Soul that marks America! America! The band's old sound was evident on their initial recording, a demo they titled Desert Days.
"It was a piece of shit," McMahan says, laughing. "It started out as this Country thing and it wasn't very good. We listen to too much Punk Rock to do that."
The members bring a wide variety of influences to The Kickaways' sound, but it's clearly the four of them working in tandem that channels those influences into the band's chaotically cohesive direction.
"We all listen to different kinds of music, but it's all Rock & Roll," Ittel says. "It's a hodgepodge."
"But it works because we each bring our own twist to it," Lambchop says. "And once we did, it was like, 'Wow, this is actually an interesting combination.' "
Although The Kickaways have largely abandoned a purely Country Rock sound, it still informs the band's underlying sensibility without leaking out through the amps. McMahan counts Wilco as his favorite band and among the adornments on the walls of the Kickaplex, a massive poster of Johnny Cash's infamous middle-finger photo is one of the most prominent. It's all part of The Kickaways' secret formula.
"Johnny Cash was a punk," McMahan says. "That's why we wear black."
The Kickaways certainly work with Punk speed. America! America! started out as a proposed EP with Cochran's estimation that recording five songs would take them two long weekends. Things went slightly better than that.
"We got done with every song on the album instrumentally by the first Saturday," Lambchop says.
"Cameron wanted to do three tries, but by the end of it, we had done some of them on the first take," McMahan says. "Plus, you get the little mistakes and treats that you get live."
There is a muscular maturity to The Kickaways' unhinged Garage Soul assault, a gritty psychedelic tumult that suggests a back-alley rumble between The Strokes, The White Stripes and The Greenhornes. Perhaps most impressive is the fact that only McMahan is legally allowed in the bars they play, and he only recently achieved that milestone. With so much road stretching out in front of them, and America! America! poised to become one of the year's most memorable albums, The Kickaways' success seems little more than a stomped gas and/or effects pedal away. They're working toward amassing a slightly larger fan base, but that might require them to tweak their stage banter just a bit.
"Austin will be on stage and be like, 'Hey, we're The Dopamines,' " Glista says. "At Mayday, he was like, 'We're the Frankl Project,' and after the show, somebody came up and said, 'You know so and so?' And we're like, 'No …' And he's like, 'You're the Frankl Project, right?' And we're like, 'No, we're not...' "
"That's an anger drawn from not playing shows," McMahan says. "We've been Oasis. We've been lots of bands."

I'll look fixing it today.. While your looking at it, keep in mind that the original failure that I was trying to fix occurs when numpy/core/setup.py calls config_cmd.try_run. I'm not certain, but I suspect that this isn't going to got through numpy.distutils.command.build_ext. One strategy would be to put a functions somewhere that returns these extra libray directories somewhere appropriate and call it from both numpy.distutils.command.build_ext and numpy/core/setup.py. It could look like: def get_extra_library_dirs(): if os.name == 'nt': return [os.path.join(sys.exec_prefix, 'libs')] else: return [] I'm not sure what would be an appropriate place for it though. -tim > > Pearu > >

In 2003 Mark Bickford and I defined and formalized a logic of events for specifying distributed computing tasks and for reasoning about distributed systems. The Logic of Events is a very abstract account of distributed computing that applies to biological processes as well as to processes in an asynchronous message passing network computing model.
Although the logic is very abstract, we can show that it is "not too abstract" in the sense that from constructive proofs that tasks are achievable, we can extract abstract distributed systems. Mark and his colleague David Guaspari have translated this abstract code, called Message Automata, into Java and we would like to translate to C# as well.
The logic naturally formalizes the intuitive language of events and message sequence diagrams that designers of distributed systems use. It supports a specification language for distributed tasks that complements Spec#.

Rebutting IMF's low growth projection of 3.8 per cent for India for the current fiscal, Finance Minister P Chidambaram has made a strong case for expediting quota reforms of the multilateral lending institutions arguing that delay was impacting the credibility and legitimacy of such entities.
The Minister, who is here to the attend the Fund-Bank meeting, also underlined the need for making IMF surveillance more forward looking to help nations take advance actions to deal with the emerging situation.
"We do not share this pessimistic outlook. We also believe there is a need for reviewing the methodology for growth projections as in the past International Monetary Fund (IMF) projections have often been at divergence with final growth numbers," he said here.
IMF has lowered India's growth projection for the current fiscal to 3.8 per cent from 5.6 per cent estimated by its World Economic Outlook update in July. Chidambaram, however, has been insisting that growth will range between 5 to 5.5 per cent in 2013-14.
Noting that the recent financial market developments have taken all by surprise, Chidambaram said an important question is why on-going IMF surveillance failed to foresee the market impact of exit from unconventional monetary policy.
"The IMF's failure to identify certain risks and give clear warnings has demonstrated yet again the weakness of its Surveillance framework. It also questions the relevance and usefulness of the IMF exercise with regard to policy settings of member countries because repeated downward revisions could significantly influence market expectations besides spreading gloom," he said.
Chidambaram further said that although the Fund has taken various measures to strengthen its surveillance activities, particularly with regard to spillovers, there was need for further reflection on it so that it could better foresee the significant global macroeconomic developments.
"The surveillance should be forward looking and it should forewarn the member countries of the impending threats, if any, to the global economy," he said.
Chidambaram had earlier said the IMF needs to undertake a detailed study as to how the unwinding will unfold, what impact it will have on advanced and emerging market economies, and how they should deal with the evolving situation.
"The Fund must play a role in better informing the spillover effects in a globally integrated world, so that advanced economies can take them into account while formulating their policies," he had said.
During his intervention at the annual plenary meeting of the IMF Committee yesterday, Chidambaram expressed disappointment over delay in quota

Southcoast Health System to offer CSA program through a partnership with Silverbrook Farm
CSA cooperatives rely on a prepayment system that guarantees revenue for farmers prior to a growing season. Local community farmers are better able to supply a sufficient volume of produce to their customers based on predetermined demand. Unlike large farms that sell produce to large food distributers, typical New England farms that are small and family owned rely on farmers' markets and other small selling arenas to support themselves and their families. CSAs provide a more reliable source of revenue for local farmers and a steady supply of fresh, locally grown food for their CSA customers.
CSAs consist of a group of consumers or community members who choose to purchase a farm "share" from a local farm. This mutually beneficial agreement supports community based sustainable agriculture and offers a fun, resourceful way to support local farming while reducing our carbon footprint.
"We are excited to work with Silverbrook Farm to offer farm fresh fruits and vegetables to our 7,000 employees and neighboring communities," said Robert Caldas, DO, Chief Medical Officer for Southcoast Health System. "As the region's leading health care system, providing better access to healthy, nutritious food is a key part of our mission for disease prevention. We are constantly looking for new avenues to support the health of the South Coast region — that includes physical and mental health for the residents and economic health for the local businesses."
Depending on the time of season, shares may include: basil, beets, broccoli, carrots, corn, cucumbers, currants, eggplant, garlic, herbs, kale, leeks, onions, parsnips, peas, peppers, potatoes, salad greens, spinach, squash, string beans, tomatoes, turnips, apples, blueberries, grapes, melons, peaches, pears, raspberries, strawberries and flowers. In addition, a variety of locally produced cheeses as well as Silverbrook's own free-range eggs, preservative-free jams and a variety of mustards are occasionally included in the weekly shares.
"We partner with six local farms to bring a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to our CSA program and to help spread the revenue of the CSA throughout the South Coast farming community," said Andy Pollack, owner of Silverbrook Farm of Dartmouth, which was established in 1690. "Buying local ensures that land stays in agriculture and preserves the beautiful landscape that we all enjoy. A simple purchasing decision makes a large local difference."
The 2013 CSA season begins on Monday, June 17, and ends on Friday, October 25. Members may opt to purchase either a full or half share box, which can be paid for entirely upfront or in three installments. A full share costs $741 for the entire season (which breaks down to $39 a week) and a half share costs $399 ($21 a week) for the season. Shares can be conveniently picked up at one of four weekly Southcoast Health System Farmers' Market locations. CSA members will choose one pick up location that will remain the same for the entire season. Locations include:
Mondays, from 3 to 6 p.m.
Tobey Hospital Farmers' Market 43 High Street, Wareham
Tuesdays, from 3 to 5 p.m.
South Coast Business Center Farmers' Market 200 Mill Road, Fairhaven
Wednesdays, from 3 to 6 p.m.
St. Luke's Hospital Farmers' Market 101 Page Street, New Bedford
Thursdays, from 3 to 6 p.m.
Charlton Memorial Hospital Farmers' Market 363 Highland Avenue, Fall River
The deadline to join the Southcoast CSA program is June 1. Subscriptions are accepted on a first come, first served basis. For more information or to join the CSA program please visit www.southcoast.org/farmersmarket/csa.html or contact Sydney Patten at 508-961-5079.

In Michigan, next year, the cut off to start Kindy is Nov 1st.
Will your child be going to kindergarten next year or doing young 5s? (or another year of preschool?) Please explain.
DS will do 3 day/week preschool this year, 5 day/week pre-k next year (both 3 hours in the a.m. only) then K in 2014. Cutoff is 8/1 - but even if he was old enough, I would still wait until 2014. I don't see any reason to "rush" kids into school.
DD was in K last year. Quite a few kids had MAY birthdays, so were already 6 before beginning Kindergarten. Many kids in her private school are close to 6 while in Kindy. Based on the preschool group DS is in, it'll be the same with his class as well. (They go to a preschool-8th grade school. Preschool is in one building, K-8 in the other).
Wife to D 6/21/03 Mommy to #1 9/22/05, #2 10/21/08, #3 8/16/11 and #4 rcs 5/27/16
Loving mama to C (3/13/07) and O (10/26/08)
Pardon my typing and spelling mistakes....98% of the time I'm posting from my Iphone while on the go.
My husband and I disagree on this topic. The cutoff is in September, but there is a private school around us that has a cutoff October 31. My husband is all about it. He doesn't want her to "be behind". I think we should wait the extra year.My DD is smart, but a little immature. This same school has a preK program, and I think she should do that instead. I guess we shall see next year what happens...
Selfishly, I have been happy ever since I made it past 9/30 with DD still cooking because that meant I didn't have the option to send her to K in 2013. Therefore, I get to keep her home with me for 19 years instead of 18. I'm happy about that.
Oh, and I also feel like I am not in a rush to make her go to school. I can teach her a lot at home and by the time she goes to Kindergarten, she'll be on the more mature end of the spectrum instead of the immature end I think she'd be at next year.
Oh, and Lilwinzan, she'll actually be ahead as opposed to behind because she'll have a year advantage by going when she is supposed to go. I teach 1st grade and the October kids tend to be so much quicker with learning new skills and ready for our difficult curriculum than the kids born in August and September whose parents didn't hold them back. Just in case you want an extra point to make to your husband:)
Our cutoff has been Dec 31 in CT; they are moving it up to Oct 1 I believe, but in 2013 it will be Nov 1 I believe. At this point in time, I am planning to send DD to K next year. ODD also has an October birthday; she went to K at 4 almost 5, and excelled socially and academically. She is very mature for her age, and always has been.
YDD on the other hand, is a little less mature than her sister at this age. I expect she will mature this year, and as long as she does, she will start K in the fall (academically she is ready). If maturity is still an issue, we will consider waiting though.

I have a database of the Ironman bikes, broken down by model, sold on eBay over the last couple of years, about 120 bikes or so. It's in MS Excel form, and I can send a .pdf via email if needed.
You can see the averages, which are pretty darn consistent, and the highs and lows. I did not describe the bikes very much, but you can imagine the condition based on the price.

Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
Hello and thank you for your question today.
Are you online with me?
First, let me say that I am terribly sorry that you have found yourself in this situation. Libel occurs when a person makes a false statement of fact about another person in writing that causes that person damage. The key component of such a claim is that there must be a 1) statement of fact. So, if the report states that two other people said something, then the report would not be libelous unless the two other people did not say anything.
If the report is opinion, and not fact, then the report would not be libelous.
Welcome to the chat
However, if the report states that you did something, which is false, then that is libelous, and you should consider filing a claim against them. If this is the case, then you would want to find a personal injury attorney in your area.
If you decide to hire an attorney a great resource is www.Martindale.com. This is a nationwide directory that is useful in finding highly qualified legal specialists in various fields of law. The lawyers in Martindale are not selected because they paid to be included, but rather because they have been rated by other attorneys as qualified experts in their field. Consider consulting with two or three different attorneys willing to take your case prior to selecting the one you feel most comfortable with.
Does that make sense?
yes thank you
Does that fully answer your question today?
i believe so.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the above and I will be more than happy to assist you further. If you do not require any further assistance, I would be most grateful if you would remember to provide my service a positive rating, as this is the only way I will receive credit for assisting you.
Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Bomb squad examines old projectileNovember 24,2012BRATTLEBORO — Brattleboro police say a military projectile found in the basement of a local home caused them to call the Vermont State Police bomb squad, which determined the projectile posed no threat to the public.
Brattleboro police and firefighters were called just before 1 p.m. Wednesday after a person doing renovations on an Elliot Street home reported finding the military-style projectile in the basement.
At the time, it wasn't known if the projectile was inert or still contained explosives.

Mmmm, Rorschach-y: Watchmen Desserts
Loyal Geekologist Martin has a friend (Jack) who made a cake honoring The Comedian in anticipation of Watchmen, which dropped in theaters yesterday. Also, they made some delicious Rorschach brownies, which I featured after the jump and have been staring at for the past twenty minutes. Tell me, what do you see? If you answered "NOM NOMs" or "a vampire fondling a mermaid in a whirlpool", you are correct. Anything else and you're a crazy person or in love with your mother.
Hit it for the rest of the deliciousness.
Thanks Martin, now all I can see is bacon!

Car Hackers: Is This The Future?
In this high-tech computerized world where the Internet is mainstream, we have programs and applications to protect our personal information and computers from being accessed by hackers. We protect ourselves and our computers from viruses, identity theft, malware and so on. But, what about the computer in our car? Is that protected? At the moment no, but the technology is being researched.
We have vehicles now that use the airwaves and have networking capabilities. An EU-funded project by the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology is explained by Olaf Henniger, "to improve traffic safety and traffic flow, many companies and research organizations are investing a lot of effort into ground-breaking research to develop vehicle communication and networking systems. Europe is really forging ahead in car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure networking." Part of this research is to find ways of protecting our vehicle's computer data from hackers.
Our vehicles come with electronics and micro processing chips that allow the computer through sensors to gather information on engine performance, wear and tear, oil quality and tire pressure. They can even detect a skid or roll before it actually happens and activate an emergency electronic stability control.
Other recent technologic advances in our autos is Car-to-Car (C2C) communication which allows vehicles to 'talk' to each other and share information, like road conditions, traffic congestion, and even the weather. Another advancement is Car-to-Infrastructure (C2I) communication, which lets vehicles connect with traffic lights, to help optimize traffic flow, and can also gather data about driving conditions.
Just think what would happen if hackers got into your vehicle's computer, and were able to change some data. For instance, you start to skid; your vehicle's computer is supposed to tell the car to correct, but the hacker tells it to turn sharply and a catastrophe can occur.
The 'E-safety vehicle intrusion-protected applications' (EVITA) project was one of the earliest EU-funded research activities that focused on in-vehicle-network security. "We focused on the security of the communication networks within the car," Henniger states, "but we were always thinking about parallel C2I and C2C networks under development. EVITA's on-board network security would be a cornerstone for all the other vehicle-networking projects out there."
EVITA partners had many options to choose from. After extensive evaluation and analysis of the security requirements, they decided that hard-wired cryptography was needed. Instead of using software to scramble and decode the data, it would take place within the physical microchip itself, called a 'hardware security module' (HSM).
The speed of an HSM can encrypt data packets almost instantaneously, whereas software can have a slight delay. Processing delay could be very dangerous in a vehicle traveling at highway speeds, when even a tenth of a second delay could mean avoiding an accident or being involved in one.
After listening to the demands of the automobile industry and looking at all the technology and protocols available, EVITA decided on the specifications of an HSM. "We investigated all the requirements and carried out a thorough risk analysis for all types of data transfer and connectivity within a vehicle. We specified the HSM to incorporate counter measures to reduce these risks," said Henniger.
He also stated, "We realized that the automobile sector is very price sensitive, so we had to design our HSM with costs in mind. We made sure that we did not over-specify the security requirements. We identified three levels of security: EVITA Lite, Medium and Full. The Lite version is used to transfer data from a small sensor to a central processing unit; this involves fairly innocuous data which people are unlikely to access and it does not need 'belt and braces' protection. At the other extreme EVITA Full offers the asymmetric cryptography, which is used whenever the car connects to outside networks to ensure the integrity and authenticity of messages."
C2C and C2I are still in the laboratory and cars normally do not have data security features. But, EVITA has opened up a whole new technology to help secure the data and information passed around when our vehicles do get connected.
The design and development of the EVITA HSM was with the combined research of the BMW Group Research and Technology project (preserve), Bosch, Continental, and the security experts including Fraunhofer SIT and EURECOM. There were also software and hardware experts from Fujitsu, Escrypt and Infineon.
The EVITA HSM was put through a series of C2C tests called the European 'Preparing secure vehicle-to-X communication systems' project. They used vehicles originally having software-based asymmetric cryptography which was slow and problematic. The software was replaced with the HSM, which dramatically improved speed and performance.
The Preserve project has adapted the HSM with alternative microchip manufacturing techniques and it is now possible to incorporate the HSM into smaller, cheaper ASIC chips.
Henniger stated, "Based on the EVITA specifications, security can be added at minimal cost to data transfers and communication within the car, and as it connects to the outside world by integrating this security via a chip we have made it much less prone to attack and network hacking. As cars get clever and start to converse, I think drivers can rest easy. No one is going to get hold of their data or suddenly start to take control of their car."

Video: More Lawsuits for Bishop Eddie Long
ATLANTA -- A fourth young male member of Bishop Eddie Long's megachurch says the prominent pastor coerced him into a sexual relationship.
Attorney B.J. Bernstein says she is filing a lawsuit Friday on behalf of Spencer LeGrande, a member of New Birth Charlotte, a satellite church run by Long in Charlotte, N.C.
READ: Spencer LeGrande lawsuit, Other Lawsuits
The suit says LeGrande first approached Long after a moving sermon on absentee fathers in May 2005. "When Plaintiff LeGrande approached Defendant Long, Defendant Long hugged Plaintiff LeGrande and Plaintiff LeGrande began to cry," the complaint says. "Defendant Long held on to Plaintiff LeGrande and assured him, 'I got you', 'I will be your dad'."
The lawsuit says Long told then 16-year-old Legrande to call him Dad, and as their relationship developed "Defendant Long would become angry if Plaintiff LeGrande failed to call Plaintiff Long on a frequent basis."
The complaint says the bishop took LeGrande on several overseas trips, where Long would pay for expensive dinners, shopping sprees and engage the teen in sexual activities.
At one point LeGrande says the bishop bought him a car and encouraged LeGrande to move to Atlanta, where the sexual activity allegedly continued until early 2009.
The other three men who filed lawsuits this week were also teenage members of Long's church when they claim Long abused his spiritual authority to seduce them as well.

text: I'm installing a headset on my 71 Motobecane Le Champion frame. I have an old Zeus headset that I apparently purchased for this purpose (this was over 30 years ago). The head tube races fit the head tube just fine, and the race and cap nut that screw onto the steerer tube fit the threads fine. I have a bag of 3/16" ball bearings that says 2-22. I'm missing the head set washer with the flat on one side, but I think I can find one of those. The only problem is the crown race on this head set is 26.28mm and the crown seat on the forks is 26.9mm. My local bike mechanic says he can cut down the crown race with a Park CRC1 crown race cutter. It looks like this will bring down the seat OD to 26.4mm, which will give 0.12mm interference fit. Sounds good to me. Am I on the right track, or should I try to find a different head set???

The following is the transcript of the speech Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos gave at last weekend's Film Independent Forum. You can check out the whole video here.
Good morning everybody, I'm going to speak hopefully briefly and then leave lots of time for questions but I'm really thrilled about being back at this conference. I did this many years ago now and as Maria mentioned I had a really long relationship with Film Independent both for this conference, with a project involved, for the film festival and I'm so proud of the association because the work that they do so helps add diversity of voice to the things we get to see on the screen which I think is really a noble thing.
But this year, zombies seem to be a real hot property, "World War Z" was a monster hit everywhere around the world, the biggest show on television right now is "The Walking Dead," and so it is fitting these days just before Halloween that your keynote speakers is also back from the dead.
Just a couple of years ago Netflix announced that we were going to split the company in two and kind of over night went from being a media darling to being a media punching bag. Our stock dropped, some of our subscribers quit and it looked pretty bleak for this company that has been such the champion for independent cinema.
But that was the view from the outside. The view from the inside was that we just kept doing the things that we do. We focused our resources on the streaming business, pulled back some of the resources on the DVD by mail business like we felt we should. Both because we made our bed a long time ago that that's where the consumer was heading and we are a company built on giving the consumer what they want. Innovating in the consumers' behavior. But, here we are, two years later; the subs came back, the investors came back, the press came back, and things feel pretty good.
In fact, this quarter we surpassed 40 million subscribers in 41 countries and streamed 5 billion hours of movies and television shows around the world, so it's a pretty good time. Today, in fact we are watched for more hours than any cable television network. That's a pretty cool development.
Ahead of the Disney channel and Nick and ESPN and all those massive brands, right behind the TV networks you'll find Netflix The other thing that we did was we entered, it feels like a long time ago now but just last February we entered into the original programming world and started launching our own original series and it was on February first of this year that we launched our first show which was "House of Cards."
Also we got to make a little TV history this year because "House of Cards" was the first show to win a Prime Time Emmy having never aired on a network or cable channel. Really blazing the path we think for all forms of new television.
But, I stand before you today at a conference that is primarily focused on film and going to talk a bit about TV because I think TV is where the audience is. It's where the innovation is happening and it may be where the future of independent production is happening.
When we started streaming eight years ago it was a pretty exotic proposition for right's holders. It wasn't a physical media business, it wasn't a theatrical business, and it wasn't television broadcast so no one really quite knew how or what to sell to us. So we bounced around between the home video groups and the television groups and these really ill-conceived odd digital groups that were forming inside the networks studios that were trying to figure out how to sell to us.
The funny thing was these digital groups that do business with Netflix, they didn't have any control over any of the content so they would have to go back to the home video group and the TV group and say, can you give us some stuff to sell to Netflix, and of course the home video group did not want to do anything that they thought might hurt DVD sales so they held on to everything and the television group did not want anything to hurt syndication so they held on to everything and it was really tough to navigate a business. And I think if we would have treated our DVD business with that kind of protectionist reverence we probably would have gone the same way as many of those digital sales groups have gone and just got integrated into something else.
We were so hungry for relevant content we did what the video stores did in the 80s when they were looking for stuff, they went to the indies and they were the first movies on video store shelves before the studios would put their good stuff on tape, were great indie films blazing the way. Because of our DVD business and our personalization and all of the ways we help make little known things known, Netflix had already became a indie sweetheart. Being able to be the champion of movies that would open quickly and disappear from single screens in New York and LA and make mainstream hits.
We kind of did it all; we struck deals with indie distributers to bring films to Netflix Streaming even before we were sure anybody would watch them. Because HBO did not want foreign language movies and documentaries, we were able to bring great movies like Susanne Bier's first movie "Open Hearts," Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth" and the Oscar nominated "La vie en rose" to Netflix's streaming in windows about ten years before any of the other studio movies were hitting the site.
So, that was Bob Berney that was a great innovator for us early on. The same is true about Jeff Sackman at Think Film who brought us stuff like "Murderball" in a really early window and in 2005 "Born into Brothels" was the only place you can see it after it won the Academy Award was on Netflix so these were some of the early innovators of Netflix streaming were some of the great innovators of Independent film.
We also formed our own label back then called Red Envelope Entertainment. We acquired and produced documentaries and stand up comedies specials. We worked with Kirby Dick, Zach Galifinakis, Clint Eastwood, Joe Berlinger, really fantastic projects and the idea was we wanted to bring movies to streaming as quickly as they were coming to DVD. And really not being able to do that as an outsider, we decided to wedge ourselves in as an insider. We winded up doing some great projects like "Super High Me" a documentary with Doug Benson that is remarkably popular.
I think as kids discover pot they want to see "Super High Me" because it continues to live on and on and on.
We did Zach Galifinakis's first comedy special "Live at The Purple Onion." Jeff Garland directed Jeff Waters in a great performance film, "This Filthy World." And even got a couple of Oscar nominations- wishful thinking – Emmy nominations for "The Music Never Ends" a doc about Tony Bennett and "Outrage" a doc we did with Kirby Dick.
Red Envelope Entertainment itself may have been an investment ahead of it's time but it did serve the purpose of forcing innovation in distribution of film entertainment and for that we are quite proud and for the projects that are still around today and still show up in Showtime and DVD end even on HBO around when I least expect it. I see that Red Envelope Entertainment pop up again.

SNOWMASS - Aspen Skiing Co.'s plan to expand skiing on Burnt Mountain cleared a big hurdle July 3 when the federal government approved the Colorado Roadless Rule, according to White River National Forest supervisor Scott Fitzwilliams.
The approved rule removes all inventoried roadless areas from within ski-area boundaries in the state, Fitzwilliams said. That removed a small sliver of the 1,710-acre Burnt Mountain Roadless Area from Snowmass Ski Area's boundary.
Roadless areas in the Forest Service inventory receive special protection and management. Colorado crafted its own rule rather than go with the federal government's direction, set in 2001. The Colorado Roadless Rule protects more than 4 million acres of public lands. It made exceptions for wildfire mitigation, insect mitigation near communities, expansion of coal mining and management of ski areas.
Skico benefited from the exception for ski areas. The company in the mid-2000s proposed widening what's known as the Gene Taylor Traverse so skiers and snowboarders can find their way off Burnt Mountain to the Two Creeks chairlift more easily. There are no chairlifts on Burnt Mountain. It provides a semi-backcountry or side-country skiing experience. Skico maintains that widening the narrow, existing traverse is critical to its customers' safety.
About 1,300 linear feet of the 2,700-foot-long catwalk crossed through the roadless area. A former supervisor of the White River National Forest approved the project in 2006 and claimed that the minimal tree removal wouldn't change the character of the roadless forest.
A coalition of conservationists and backcountry skiers filed an administrative appeal and won a partial victory in May 2006. The Forest Service's regional office in Lakewood said Skico couldn't move forward with the project without a more detailed study of the effects on the roadless area.
The project stalled until this year. Now the roadless issue is eliminated.
The Forest Service issued a permit for the tree-thinning work and is preparing a formal contract. A contract is required because Skico will remove trees.
"If someone is taking away trees, the federal government has to be reimbursed for that," Fitzwilliams said. "We cannot move the project forward" until that contract is completed.
Forest Service officials visited the field to mark the trees that will be removed and then measured them for an assessment of value. Fitzwilliams said "a few hundred trees" will be felled by Skico along with brush. Beetle-killed trees also will be removed.
It's uncertain when the contract will be completed. If it is soon, Skico wants to move ahead with clearing trees this year and complete it in time for the 2012-13 ski season, said Rich Burkley, Skico vice president of mountain operations. Like Fitzwilliams, he said the federal government's approval of the Colorado Roadless Rule on July 3 was the key to the project advancing.
"That's the final piece that fell into place from the Forest Service's perspective," Burkley said.
In addition to widening the traverse to about 30 feet, Skico wants to thin trees on Burnt Mountain east of the existing Long Shot trail to link existing open meadows, Burkley said. He said skiing on Burnt Mountain is "hugely popular" with Snowmass customers.
"This will dramatically improve the experience," he said.
For some backcountry skiers and riders, the work will diminish their experience.
"I understand the argument and concerns," Fitzwilliams said. "People's personal powder stashes are going to get used by other people."
That cannot enter into the Forest Service's assessment of the project, he said, because that area of the forest is designated for alpine skiing and managed accordingly.

Setting The Scene: Butler returns to Indianapolis this weekend when both the women's and men's teams host Illinois State at the Butler Bubble. The women's squad battles the Cardinals on Friday (Feb. 8) beginning at 5:00 p.m., while the men's team takes on ISU on Saturday (Feb. 9) starting at 2:00 p.m.
Welcome Back: The men's team's hosts Illinois State in its home opener following the conclusion of a seven-match, season-opening road trip at Kentucky on Feb. 2. The Bulldogs opened up the season at Western Michigan before heading to Big Ten foes Michigan State, Ohio State, Northwestern, Wisconsin and Purdue.
...And Make Yourself At Home: The Butler men's team can put away its luggage for the foreseeable future., as the Bulldogs will be spending the next eight matches in Indianapolis. After hosting Illinois State in the home opener, Butler welcomes Xavier, Duquesne and Bradley to Indy before kicking off the Horizon League slate at home against Valparaiso and Green Bay. The homestand wraps up on March 21 with a double-header against IPFW and IUPUI.
Off To A Great Start: Sophomore Molly Casperson might only be in her second collegiate season, but she has played like a seasoned vet. After scoring 19 singles wins as a freshman, including 15 at the No. 1 position, to earn Horizon League Newcomer of the Year honors, Casperson has continued to thrive with the Bulldogs, as her seven singles victories are tied for the team lead.
Young And Talented: The women's tennis squad has gotten a huge boost from its freshmen and sophomores this season. Second-year players Molly Casperson and Becky Jenkins both pace the team with seven singles victories, while rookies Gabriella Bobrowski and Natali Jaimes each tout six singles wins.
A Tradition Of Dominance: Not only has the Butler men's team won nine of the 12 Horizon League Championships ever held, but they have also been superior in the conference regular season. In fact, the Bulldogs have not lost a single Horizon League regular season match in over 11 years, dating back to a 6-1 defeat to Northern Illinois at the end of the 1996 season. Since then, Butler has won 45-straight regular season matches.
...And The Women's Team Has Come Close: The Butler women's team has been nearly as strong in Horizon League play as the men's squad, reaching the league tournament championship in seven of the last eight seasons. Their NCAA tournament bid came up just short last year, falling 4-3 to UIC.
Head Coach Jason Suscha: Jason Suscha, in his 11th season as the head coach of the Butler men's tennis team and ninth year at the helm of the women's squad, continues to reign supreme in the world of Horizon League tennis. The five-time Horizon League Men's Tennis Coach of the Year boasts a 156-100 overall record at Butler, including an astounding 62-1 mark against conference foes. Suscha has also consistently positioned the Butler women's squad near the top of the Horizon League. Under his guidance, the Bulldogs have combined for a 100-96 record, including a dominant 58-19 mark in league play, and have advanced to the tournament championship match in seven of his eight seasons.
Next Up: The women's team will be the only squad in action next week, as the Bulldogs head to Xavier (Feb. 13), Green Bay (Feb. 15) and Milwaukee (Feb. 16). The men's team will be idle until Feb. 20.

"It's time for the Emergency Preparedness Kit Relay Race!" Noriga said as kids formed two lines facing her.
In front of each line was a pile of items the children were asked to sort through. Each line was told to snag an item appropriate for an emergency kit and race down the gymnasium one at a time to toss it into a bin. Items included water bottles, canned food, flashlights, whistles, balloons, toys and a Disney Mickey doll.
"Ready! Set! Go!" The crowd cheered on the kids as they rushed to beat the opposing team. In the end, both teams tied and all the participants won Iron Man 3D glasses and an Avengers poster.
A bit of fun, such as activities, prizes and live music, livened up educational tips about the storm season during the June 8 event at the J. Ben Harrill Recreation Center. Pasco County and The Suncoast News presented the free expo.
This was the first time in 19 years that Hurricane Expo organizers sought to specifically target children at the event. Much like current adults grew up with the mindset of "Safety First" and the importance of buckling your seat belt, Pasco Emergency Management Director Annette Doying hopes to instill the importance of emergency preparedness in younger generations.
"Typically participants of the Hurricane Expo are older adults," Doying said. "We are trying to dig down into the demographic of families and kids."
Doying said it got to the point where 80 percent of the people at the Hurricane Expo each year had been there before. So she wanted to reach new people, especially younger individuals and those who have just moved to Florida.
To draw in a younger crowd, organizers partnered with Radio Disney, which went into Pasco County Schools prior to the expo treat students to a preview of some of the fun and games to expect at the Hurricane Expo.
"If you're only reaching the same 800 people in a community of half a million, you need to rethink your approach," Doying said.
Aside from activities like the relay race, which teach children about creating emergency kits, Radio Disney also fielded a scavenger hunt that required kids to get a stamp on a Bingo-like board from every booth. That way, Doying said, vendors can talk to them about hurricane preparedness.
Vendors included Home Inventory Shield, Florida Forest Service, United Way of Pasco, Poison Information Center, Ierna's Heating and Cooling, American Medical Response, Home Depot, Professional Window Installation, AAA Insurance, Community Emergency Response Team, Tampa Bay Builders Association, Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services, and more.
Holiday resident Tiffany Sibert said that events like the Hurricane Expo help her teach her kids how to prepare for hurricanes so they aren't scared. Her three sons participated in the scavenger hunt and won T-shirts for completing their stamp collection.
"Last year during Tropical Storm Debbie, I think I was more scared than they were," Siebert said.
Christiana Kittles, 14, was shy to talk about what she learned from the expo but her mother, Harriet, said they both had a better understanding of where to go and what to do if they were evacuated during a storm.
Steve Jerve, chief meteorologist for News Channel 8, took storm preparation questions from the audience, and Lynne McChristian from the Insurance Information Institute shared her insights on how to ensure a home or business is adequately covered.
Pasco officials were on hand to field questions, such as housing pets during a crisis. City officials from New Port Richey and Port Richey attended, along with staff members from Pasco Emergency Management, Pasco County Public Transportation and other county division and departments, including stormwater management, floodplain management, elderly nutrition, animal services, community development and planning and growth management.

Is that even the correct term? I heard it in both an mtb video about a rhythm section and also in a MX vid. What's involved in doing it and when/why does a rider do it? Thanks.
Is that even the correct term? I heard it in both an mtb video about a rhythm section and also in a MX vid. What's involved in doing it and when/why does a rider do it? Thanks.
Manual: Balancing on either front or rear wheel while in motion. It's just a matter of timing, body placement and knowing where your point of balance is.
It's like riding a wheelie, but without pedaling. If you youtube it, you can find lots of videos. You can find videos on almost every biking technique/trick.
And why is it called a "manual"? Because it's not automatic? Doesn't make sense.
I think because you're not using power(pedaling) to maintain the wheelie. You're doing it "manually" by moving your hips/weight around as needed. I could be completely wrong, though.
You really have to practice the living hell out of all these technical tricks to learn them. I do it before and after trail rides, especially if I'm waiting on a buddy. You can also take your MTB out for a fitness ride around your neighborhood and squeeze in some practice.
After you learn, then some routine practice and using them on the trail will keep the skill up.
^ Truth. I can't manual to save my life. I also haven't spent hours practicing, though. I Have spent hours riding my bike and find myself naturally doing "track stands" on the trails when climbing and stopping against a rock or something and hopping the side of the bike over to continue. Anyone know if there much benefit to being able to manual for someone who does mostly AM/light DH and no racing or anything like that. I don't see where I would really use the skillmuch, but that could just be because I don't use it now?
Knowing what it is now, I can see that it's an acquired skill. I watched some vids of guys using it to go thru sections with multiple bumps where having the front wheel down might slow you down. I saw one where a guy pumped the bike thru multiple bumps--pretty impressive.
3speed: I need to learn what you described, stalling and swinging the rear around. I've seen vids of guys going around tight switchbacks doing it where I'd probably be dismounting or dabbing a foot.
A bit late now, but I think this is a trick best mastered while you are still a kid
I know an older guy, 50+ (no offense 50+ers ), one day I passed his house on a bmx and he started chatting about his youth, he hadn't sat on a bmx for 30 years. Took my bike, could track stand indefinitely, wheelie as far as he liked and manual on and off a kerb...
2. I can't do this either, yet, but I think you need to practice trackstanding and bunnyhopping. If you can combine those skills, you should be able to hop around and rotate your bike by twisting your shoulders and hips. You need the trackstanding practice to maintain your balance when barely moving or entirely stopped.
The term "manual" came from skateboarding. The BMX guys emulated the look of the skate trick by not pedaling.
Here's someone who has mastered it:

That lance mcguire video was pretty neat. I'm not new to riding, but i am new to learning how to do tricks proper. ;D I have done some wheelies before, but i didn't dedicate enough time to more focused efforts. I am waiting for my mountain bike to get back from the shop, but in the meantime i am going to work on the basics some more.
thanks for the info

Video: Lock operator recalls service at Hales Bar Dam
Video by Leon Roberts
Earl Keeler, 91, recalls working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District at Hales Bar Navigation Lock from 1960 to 1967. The retired lock operator visited the decommissioned lock Dec. 19, 2013 and reminisced about the days when he locked through ships and barges delivering commerce up and down the Tennessee River at the site in Jasper, Tenn.

Retired lock operator recalls rich history of navigation at Hales Bar


text:
An Austrian breakfast of champions (cold cuts, nutella, various jams, various breads, a multitude of cheeses), then a walk into the mountains. There are paths for biking and various levels of trekking all over this part of the Alps, so we choose a footpath that departs from the doorstep of our hotel and wandered upwards and onwards.
It's important to note a key highlights of this region of Tirol / the German state of Bavaria: Freakishly organized wood piles. All ends match up perfectly, gaps are minimal; it's like you're judged by your wood pile the way New Yorkers assess you by your bookshelf. The one pictured here would only receive a B- at best.

You are more likely to wonder about the choice of an iPad to use navigation. Unfortunately did not have time to respond to every request (retirement is still beyond my horizon), a ticket is required. Almost three years after a similar article (¹), of course now completely obsolete, It was time to redo this issue.
Selection criteria
There are several, which does not only depend on marine use, but also the land that you will use your tablet.
- Model : I have written many times on my website (²) and several tickets (³), model Wifi 3G or WiFi Cellular is imperative to have the integrated GPS. With a simple WiFi model, you must add, either GPS Bluetooth, either multiplexer to retrieve data from the GPS board.
- The memory size : of 16 up to 128 Go next versions, the choice is wide. A strict use navigation, with applications using the vector mapping, 16 Go ample to go around the world. If you use the raster mapping, about ten times larger than the vector mapping equivalent geographic area, therefore 32 GB will certainly be needed. But beware : if you store your photos and videos travel, if you add music and movies, 64 Go will be necessary.
- The size and screen resolution : iPad (9,7 inches) or iPad Mini (7,9 inches), I would say that the choice depends mainly on the distance to find the browser's screen. So to a certain extent on the size of vessel. I will ship a Mini iPad on a Corsair, one Muscadet, or an Etap 21. But above 6m50/7m, the distance between the helmsman and the location of the iPad might warrant a screen 10 inches for easier reading. We must also consider the size of the iPad, much smaller for iPad Mini in its waterproof case the iPad equivalent in the case. On the resolution, screens Retina High resolution generalize, but provide absolutely no comfort reading for vector mapping and most marine applications (Weather, tides, aso.). The inverse, they provide a much better finesse to display raster maps.
Different versions
We are the 6th generation of iPad and the 3rd generation of iPad Mini.
The first iPad Mini in october 2012 had the same characteristics as the iPad 2. It is always found for sale on the store refurbished products from Apple. I think for much longer. This is a great tablet, with a screen that has nothing to envy to his sister, autonomy for long days of navigation and fast charging. Replaced by'iPad Mini Retina en octobre 2013, then iPad Mini 3 en octobre 2014 which pretty much contains the same components as the AIR iPad, first name. Storage memory is now 16, 64 or 128 GB. Version 32 GB has disappeared as the Air iPad 2.
Initial iPad, 1 and 2, excellent tablets, some of which have traveled thousands of miles for several years, are unfortunately supported by Apple. This means more possible update of the OS and the rapid obsolescence of applications that developers will not retain backwards compatible. 'iPad 3, called New iPad at its output, is certainly the worst tablet range. Certainly marketed too fast, it was replaced after only seven months by'iPad 4 which corrected its many flaws, which mainly one Retina display very slow to refresh and a recharge time of more than 5 hours.
iPad Air is marketed in November 2013. This new Tablet shows a real increase in quality : plus fine, lighter, much more powerful and faster, It is equipped with a highly responsive and much brighter screen, therefore a better vision in daylight. A new battery technology has led to a significant decrease in consumption associated with a cooldown reduced to the iPad 2. Some experts consider the iPad Air as the true second Apple tablet after iPad 1 ! iPad Air 2 en octobre 2014 still brings an improvement in the quality of the display with a screen technology finer multi-lamine and anti-reflective coating. We can finally read in the Sun. It is also even more powerful with an a8x review processor coupled to the M8 coprocessor and 2 GB RAM. A still lighter racing beast (444 gr. the WiFi Cellular model).
My advice
- iPad 1 and 2, if you already have, keep them as they work, if not buy them used for that price or a "spare tire". iPad 1 is limited to iOS 5.1.1 and the apps are largely more up-to-date.
- iPad 3, avoid. I am in my second, I know what I'm talking !
- iPad 4, if you find a good opportunity, but beware of very long recharge time.
- iPad and Air 2, both available from Apple Store, buy eyes closed, These are, After the number 1, the best Apple tablets. Especially for the full day of their screen use, especially iPad Air 2.
It'll talk to at the end of the year when this ticket will become obsolete with the arrival of future models.

Subcommittee on intelligence affairs says will hold comprehensive examination of arrest and death of Ben Zygier
Moran Azulay
Published: 02.17.13, 22:40 / Israel News
Moran Azulay
Earlier on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
made his first comment
on the affair and said that he has "every confidence" in the defense establishment's decisions in the case.
Related stories:
"Our security forces work tirelessly and diligently to ensure that we can live here safely. I have every faith in them and in our legal system," he said.
"The intelligence and security communities in Israel, while independent, operate under the full supervision of the law. This combination of abiding by the law and by our security needs helps maintain the freedom of speech.
"However, over-exposing intelligence and security operations can – and sometime does – seriously compromise state security," Netanyahu stressed.

Order Today...Crackin' Tomorrow!
The pasteurized crab meat came yesterday as scheduled. I just finished making 3 dozen crab cakes for my son's graduation brunch which will begin at 11:00am. Your crab meat is excellent; my husband is from Virginia and went to the Naval Academy, so the only crab meat we really appreciate is yours! Thank you so much. (Posted on 6/23/15)
The crabs came right on time and were packed perfectly. They were delicious! Full and heavy with firm, sweet crab meat. We will be ordering again soon. Thank you. (Posted on 5/4/14)
The Jumbo dinner for two package was a wonderful, unexpected and well-loved surprise that my sister received for a special birthday. The crabs were all over 6 1/2". They were heavy and full with popping-out-of-the-shell, sweet meat - not always a sure bet at this late winter/ early-spring time of the year. I was told the spicing was excellent. The cooked shrimp seemed more than jumbo sized and were an extremely tasty, nicely-spiced accompaniment - especially for my brother-in-law who isn't much of a crab-shucking fan. The crab cakes were jam packed with superb-tasting, crab meat lumps. The brownies were a rich, tasty finale. Bravo! (Posted on 5/4/14)
THESE WERE THE BEST CRABS WE EVER EATEN!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ADDING THAT EXTRA TOUCH AND CARE. WE WILL BE ORDERING AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE! We are originally from Eastern Shore of MD and we grew up on crabs, since moving to GA we are very limited to REAL CRAB meat, so we have to order and have it shipped in. SO WE WILL BE CALLING AGAIN SOON! GOD BLESS YOU! (Posted on 5/4/14)
Harbor House Crabs were the best that we have ever received - Even better than some we have bought on Maryland's Eastern Shore while visiting. Every single jumbo crab was as ordered, uniform size and full of delicious crab meat. Every person who has bought steamed crabs has experienced some "light" ones. Not yours, every single crab was as ordered. Delicious!! We picked the last 4 crabs and my wife made a tasty crab soup. Expect more orders from Iowa - and around the country (as a professional recruiter who works nationally, I speak to lots of people). We are very happy with your crabs and will order more in the future. Thank you! (Posted on 5/4/14)

RBS has multiple barriers to share sale goal
Big ask
The UK bank plans further shrinking of its trading arm, listings for its U.S subsidiary and some domestic branches, and a capital boost. If it can do all this, and make a profit, a share sale could begin in 2014. But unless regulators remove key obstacles, that deadline is tough.

Basically, you can give a description or review of a book you recently finished. I would like it if you did not review/summarize a book that you finished a while back. I'm trying to get first impressions/reflections of books as a whole.
I just finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy. The book has great pace. The writing style took some getting used to having heavily fragmented sentences and sometimes hard to follow dialogue, and there are no numbered chapters. But my eyes were wet by the end. The end is a real motherfucker. Nothing in this book seems out of place except the last paragraph. The last paragraph has a nice final metaphor for the whole book; it takes some thinking to fully understand it. I'm not sure if the book had a Christian tone or not... the ending pages really made me doubt that it was secular.
I haven't seen the film adaptation yet. Not sure if I'll get around to it though.

Printable View
I might be leaving the job i am at (might be replaced) and i would more or less be asked to move the email server over to Exchange.
Is this possible ?
Whats the problem?
i just need to know if it is possible.
Reason being my replacement would not be a Linux user nor administrator. So i would have to move all our Opensource servers and services to a Microsoft Platform.
Again as i said this is possibility that i would be replaced.
thanks again for all the help and advice.
Not sure what you mean to say.As per my understanding you want to convey something about replacing your current mail server with exchange.
I am asking if it is possible to migrate from Zimbra to Exchange.
Migrating e-mail may not be that hard, using IMAP (but one mailbox at a time).
Calendar, contacts, tasks... I doubt it. Maybe if you use the Pro version with the outlook connector (export the whole account to a pst and import it back to the Exchange mailbox).
I'm in a similar position.
We will be required to migrate all users from zimbra NE to MS Exchange.
At this time I'm going through the process of setting up OL-Connector for all users (only 30). We will have them save there info into Outlook from zimbra, then upload it to the exchange server.
Not what I hoped for as the exchange aadmin only allows his users < 1/2 the space we allow on our zimbra users. MS wins again <string of curse words>
sting of curse words is an understatement
only if you "assume" that Zimbra to Exchange Migration tool is Zimbra's responsibility...Quote:
sting of curse words is an understatement
Short answer is: NO
Zimrba made Exchange to Zimbra Migration tool as its "Zimbra's responsibility.." if someone wants to move to Zimbra.
If you want to move to Exchange please divert your "curse" attention to Microsoft who suppose to make the tool..i bet they will listen to you..like they do(not) to all their existing customers.
Raj the words were not for zimbra... the words are for the mere idea of going back to the MS route..
And i was just asking if anyone knew of one.

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) announced today that Activision Blizzard has rejoined the trade group as a member after a five year absence. Chinese firm Tencent also joined the association as a member.
Tencent owns League of Legends developer Riot Games and owns a stake in Epic Games.
Activision and Blizzard parent company Vivendi dropped their memberships to the association in 2008. While Activision never publicly said why it left the trade group, many speculated that the company had decided that it would handle its own lobbying efforts in D.C., instead of letting the ESA do it.
The ESA operates the annual E3 Expo, owns and operates the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) and lobbies on behalf of the games industry in North America on a variety of issues.

The Photography of Leon Levinstein
A last minute call to see (a must), Leon Levinstein's (1910-1988)
exhibition of 50 vintage black and white photographs—not a single bad one,
as one critic recently wrote—by a photographer who, though he studied with Alexey
Brodovitch of Harper's Bazaar, dedicated his life to street
photography and avoided assignments and recognition, earning his income as a
graphic designer.
The images here are often close-ups of the solitude of man in the city world by a solitary
photographer very much in the style—rough, gritty, dark and
un-sentimental—of another city loner dedicated to the misery of man,
Weegee, and later on the early William Klein. During his lifetime,
Levinstein's unique talent was recognized by his peers. Edward Steichen was one of
his mentors, but remained relatively unknown by the general public because he
wanted it that way. Today, Leon Levinstein is at last where he belongs:
among of the best of the great American urban photography club. He is an
American classic.

The Nassau County police officer struck by a car in Lawrence remains hospitalized in critical but stable condition.
Police said the 57-year-old officer was hit by an Audi while performing a traffic stop on Nassau Expressway just north of the Atlantic Avenue Bridge at 11:35 a.m. Tuesday.
He was airlifted to Nassau University Medical Center for treatment of a fractured skull, fractured pelvis, fractured right leg and massive internal bleeding.
The Audi was driven by a 43-year-old man who stopped at the scene. A 9-year-old boy and a 20-year-old woman were passengers in the car. They were not injured.
The driver was not arrested. Detectives impounded the Audi for a safety inspection while the investigation continues.
The expressway was closed for about six hours in both directions.
Police did not release the identity of the officer or the driver.

Editor, News-Register:
Regarding the June 2 article "Exotic Animal Owners In Ohio Appeal Restrictions." The First and Fifth Amendments were ratified Dec. 15, 1791. Even if authors had supernatural knowledge of all seven continents and the variety of animals inhabiting them, I doubt they would have dealt with subject of exotic pets owned by American citizens. Owners and their legal representatives should review the Constitution and its Amendments. Afterward they would realize the documents apply to all people, not animals!
Article claims proposed laws would violate First Amendment rights of owners "... by limiting their freedom of association ..." Amendment states: "Congress shall make no law ... abridging ... the right of the people peaceably to assemble ..." This is a very direct statement, easy to understand, stating Constitution/Amendments are for people.
The Fifth Amendment contains a statement that exotic pet owners and their legal representatives think is a gotcha, namely: "nor be deprived of ... property without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation." They feel requiring the purchase and implantation of a micro-chip in an exotic pet represents an exorbitant expense, tantamount to "taking private property ..."! Conveniently, the typical cost of this micro-chip is not in article, only that the cost is exorbitant.
Exorbitant? Whoa, there, people! A Smart Phone only costs $300-$400! I can't believe the cost of a micro-chip is so exorbitant owners of a $5,000-$10,000 pet can't afford one.
Exotic pet ownership is in that age-old category: "If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it!" I know owners are burdened with some deprivations already and can't afford: driving cars due to driver's license fee; buying cars due to sales taxes; buying gas for previously owned cars due to sales and road use taxes; smoking due to sales taxes; vacations due to cost of their exotic pet and its related expenses. But that's life!
Exotic pets belong in their exotic natural environments, not in unfit makeshift cages or holding pens, thrown together with little concern for animals' welfare.
James Wisialowski
