The partnership that oversees the business operations of The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press said today it has hired a vice president of marketing.
Aaron Velthoven, 31, will specifically handle business-to-business marketing for Detroit Media Partnership LP, the agency said in a statement.
The position is new and Velthoven will oversee the company's client development, custom content, and creative and design departments, the partnership said, and he will serve on the executive committee.
Velthoven was previously vice president of digital strategy at advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather.
Consumer marketing for the partnership was overseen for years by Rich Harshbarger, who left the partnership Wednesday to become CEO of Running USA, the Santa Barbara, Calif.-based nonprofit that promotes distance running and races.
Harshbarger was also executive director of the annual Detroit Free Press/Talmer Bank Marathon.
A decision hasn't been made on what will be done with Harshbarger's job, said Alan Lenhoff, the partnership's director of project management and corporate communications.
Velthoven's hiring and Harshbarger's departure are unrelated, Lenhoff said.
The Free Press and Detroit News are linked through a 25-year joint operating agreement, managed by the Detroit Media Partnership. It was signed in 2005 and the partnership handles the joint advertising, printing and distribution of the papers.
The partnership is 95 percent owned by Tysons Corner, Va.-based Gannett Co. Inc., owner of the Free Press, and 5 percent owned by Denver-based MediaNews Group, parent of The News. MediaNews is now owned by New York City-based Digital First Media.

When the ball has completely crossed the touchline (sideline), it is put back into play by a throw-in from the spot, indicated by the referee, where it went out, by a player from the team opposite to that of the player who last touched it. The throw-in must be taken with both feet on the ground and off the field or on the touchline using both hands delivering the ball from behind and over the thrower's head.
All opponents must remain at least two yards from the thrower until the throw-in is taken.
A goal cannot be scored directly from a throw-in. A player who receives the ball directly from a throw-in is not offside. If the throw-in goes directly to the thrower's goalkeeper, that goalkeeper cannot play the ball with his/her hands.
If the ball is not put into play from the spot indicated by the referee, the throwing team loses the throw to the other team, who must restart the game with a throw-in from the indicated spot.

My technical knowledge is very limited, and even though I plan on learn node.js in the future, the learning curve is rather huge right now.
Since I'm already familiar with PHP I feel I would get it functioning much faster.
The scale I'm thinking is 2-8 players at the time. And trying to keep the client to server message count as low as possible.
The values I intend to store/handle are:
- Player name and ID.
- X and Y position.
- Health.
- Equipped items (maximum 8 slots, probably less).
- Actions (walk, attack, use etc but only 1 action/player at a time).
- Bullet X,Y coordinates and trajectory.
- Guild/Clan name.
- And some basic chat/mailing function.
My guess is even though it's not the best solution, but aslong as I keep the logic small, that this is completely doable. Am I right?

Making movie hair
Anna Kendrick and the cast of Live With It (Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt) are back in Vancouver on reshoots for the film. Here she is on set today working on her hair. They're making movie hair! I like how they use clips instead of rollers. Is that the trick? Will that make mine stay with body for more than an hour? It's the slight lift around the head, I'd be happy with just that. Mine lies flat, flat, flat right against my skull.
Anyway, after this, Kendrick has some work on Twilight 4 and 5, and then she's waiting for the right next project, which she's said is hard to do, to battle the urge to take anything that comes, but in the long run, it really is so much smarter. Best to avoid having something like Summer Catch on your resume, especially when you've already been nominated for an Oscar.

Tastemakers: Hickory Chair
Take a seat on one of these lovely chairs.

- 1 of 9
Interior designer: Ron Fiore, Hickory Chair, 37 9th St. Place S.E., Hickory, NC 28602; 828/328-1801, hickorychair.com.
Written and produced by Jenny Bradley
Photographs by John Bessler
Once an overachiever, always an overachiever. Founded with the slogan, "Chairs Made Better Than Seems Necessary," it's clear why Hickory Chair is honoring 100 years of making furniture that's, well, better than seems necessary.
Renamed Hickory Chair Manufacturing Company in 1911 after investors purchased the Surry Chair Company and moved it to Hickory, North Carolina, the firm quickly expanded from dining chairs into all things furniture. Surviving the Great Depression and a halt to nearly all furniture manufacturing during World War II, Hickory Chair not only persevered, but flourished. The company pioneered the making and marketing of reproduction furniture, introducing the James River collection-the oldest collection of 18th-century mahogany reproductions and adaptations in America.
Today, Hickory Chair offers an expansive selection-from those 18th-century reproductions to collections by renowned interior designers Thomas O'Brien, Mariette Himes Gomez, Alexa Hampton, and Suzanne Kasler. And everything-from the chairs to the case goods-is customizable.
"Hickory Chair allows you to personalize, not compromise," says company president Jay Reardon. "The results are classic pieces 'Made to Order, Made to Last.' "
To honor those collections and to celebrate its centennial year, Hickory Chair participated in the 2011 Hampton Designer Showhouse-enlisting the firm's creativedirector Ron Fiore to transform the house's master bedroom into a serene, painterly hideaway. Renoir meets beach retreat.
"I wanted to create a space that was arty and casual," says Fiore, "a room with an easy palette that reflects the Hamptons and also highlights our product."
Tapping Hickory Chair's resources, he incorporated pieces from multiple collections (and with different finishes), all with a common palette, providing continuity with breathing room.
"I like mixing collections and finishes within a space and then pulling it together with common fabrics," says Fiore. "It doesn't look like it came out of a can."
Nothing canned here, thanks to finishes that run the gamut and upholstered items that are swathed in pastel fabrics. These unique classics give a nod to Hickory Chair's history-and a look to its future.

BALTIMORE – The UMBC women's lacrosse team opened up a two goal lead in the opening half versus No. 2 Maryland, but the Terrapins took over in the second period en route to a 14-3 victory in the season-opener for both squads on Friday afternoon at UMBC Stadium.
Retriever captains Abby Wilson (Bel Air, Md./Fallston) and Ali Carpenter (Baltimore, Md./McDonogh) helped UMBC to take a two goal lead 4:54 into the contest, both registering unassisted scores. However, Maryland scored four straight goals to close out the first half, including a pair of scores in the final 1:02 of the period, to take a 4-2 advantage into the break. UMD Sophomore midfielder Taylor Cummings tallied two of her four goals and added one assist during the opening stanza, with both goals coming on free position attempts.
Maryland opened the game up in the second half, holding a 10-2 advantage in draw controls and a 25-4 shot differential. The Terrapins scored 10 straight in the second period, before the Retrievers' freshman attacker Mackenzie Reese (Bel Air, Md./John Carroll School) punched home a pass from Wilson with 4:47 remaining.
Cummings finished the contest with five points, five draw controls and three caused turnovers, while freshman midfielder Zoe Stukenberg added four goals.
Both squads used a pair of goalkeepers in the matchup, Maryland's red-shirt junior Abbey Clipp picked up the win with two saves, while UMBC's Anna Barnett (Midland, Texas/Midland) made one stop in the loss.
UMBC falls for the second time in the last six years in its season-opener, while Maryland is victorious for the 23rd time in its last 24 games.
The Retrievers return to action on Wednesday, Feb. 19 when they travel to local-rival Towson. Game time is set for 4 p.m. at Johnny Unitas Stadium.

- Inadequate infrastructure; failing health system
- Risk of renewed Ebola outbreak
- Extreme poverty and high unemployment
Brighter growth prospects
Economic activity is expected to pick up in 2019 after growth stagnated in 2018, in large part due to the shutdown of the country's largest iron mine, the Tonkolili facility, due to high production costs and low ore quality. Agriculture, which is still the mainstay of economic activity (60% of GDP and employment in 2017), will continue to expand. However, activity in the extractive sector could remain constrained by the slow growth in iron ore production, as no reopening date has been announced for the Tonkolili mine. The start-up of production at the Marampa iron mine should however temper the consequences of this. Although the Tongo facility is not expected to start production until the end of 2019, diamond production should enjoy a positive trajectory. These contrasting performances in the mining sector are expected to translate into a limited contribution to growth. Electricity supply constraints, the lack of infrastructure and an unfavourable business environment will also continue to have an adverse impact on growth. Tourism will be particularly affected by this situation, especially with China cancelling funding for a new airport near the capital in 2018.
Although set to decrease, inflation will remain above the convergence criterion established by the West African Monetary Zone (maximum annual inflation rate of 10%). It will once again act as a drag on household consumption, particularly for the more than 70% of Sierra Leoneans living on less than one US dollar a day. Accordingly, the central bank is expected to continue tightening monetary policy, a process that it began at the end of 2016, in an effort to curb the increase in inflation.
Fiscal consolidation at the heart of the new agreement with the IMF
In 2017, Sierra Leone signed up to a number of reforms as part of a three-year programme with the IMF. As the country failed to follow through on its commitments, the agreement was cancelled. However, the election of Julius Maada Bio in March 2018 seems to be a turning point in relations with the international institution. Shortly after his inauguration, President Bio liberalised fuel and rice prices in order to reduce public spending, as recommended by the IMF. A new programme under an Extended Credit Facility was thus signed by the new government in November 2018. In this context, consolidation of the public accounts will continue in 2019 through improved revenue collection, which will be achieved, in particular, by broadening the tax base and strengthening tax law. The government will also take action on current expenditure by curtailing the increase in defence spending while limiting growth of the public sector wage bill. Spending on education is expected to increase. Nonetheless, reducing the budget deficit will not be enough to slow the increase in public debt. This trend reflects the drastic cuts to international financial assistance following the previous government's inability to reduce its deficit, which led in turn to rapid growth in non-concessional debt to national creditors and therefore to increased interest and arrears. However, the new IMF agreement could limit the increase in debt in the coming years.
Although the trade deficit will remain substantial In 2019, it is expected to move in the right direction. Exports will be driven by diamonds (13% of exports in 2017), as well as by the non-mining economy, particularly the primary sector (cocoa accounted for 23% of exports in 2017). However, the country remains dependent on imports of energy, capital goods, and food products, as the agricultural system is mainly export-oriented. The deficits in services and income, linked to the presence of foreign investors, will also be a heavy burden to bear. The current account deficit will be mainly financed by foreign investment in the form of FDI and portfolio investment.
Tension on the domestic political scene
After two consecutive terms, Ernest Bai Koroma of the All People's Congress (APC) had to resign as President. On the March 31, 2018, Julius Maada Bio, the candidate of the Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP), was elected to succeed him, signalling the desire for political renewal. A former soldier, Mr Bio had already held power as Vice-President after a coup d'état in 1996. As President, his priorities are access to education and the fight against corruption. With this in mind, the Parliament has approved an investigation into allegations of corruption involving members of the previous government. These investigations could create tension between the two parties. In the meantime, though, the President has to collaborate with the APC, which won the majority of seats in the parliamentary elections also held in March. In addition, the government could once again face public opposition, with fiscal consolidation and poverty fuelling social unrest. In 2018, the liberalisation of fuel prices triggered a wave of protests.
A political deadlock could impact the already poor business environment. Reflecting this, Sierra Leone has dropped to 163rd out of 190 countries in the 2019 Doing Business ranking.

Infrared video cameras, to see the invisible
When we were kids, to write "important" secret messages for our friends, we were using an age-old trick: just use lemon juice instead of normal ink, and the message receiver would only have to run the piece of paper over the flame of a candle to read it.
It was undoubtedly a romantic solution, and causes a sweet tear of tenderness now when looking back. Nowadays, the dear old lemon juice has been replaced by special markers which use invisible ink, while instead of the candle one can use a much more advanced infrared video camera.
The infrared camera, in fact, can pick up light at frequencies below what the human eye can see. Special inks used by this kind of markers can only be seen within that range, and thus can be detected only by devices which can see that light.
So, using an infrared camera to take video footage of a piece of paper with apparently nothing written on, it will be possible to see the invisibly written secret message. The ink, based on alcohol, can be used for a wide range of applications, such as for example marking banknotes, which could become traceable in case of a bank robbery, or maps and papers with a confidential content.
Furthermore, connecting the camera to a normal monitor, the contents of papers written with invisible ink can be viewed in real time, using it as an authentication protocol to access restricted areas.
For more details and advice on all possible applications of infrared cameras in your work or any other way, we recommend that you consult our experts, visiting the Endoacustica website.

Facebook, Groupon, Zynga: Off-The-Chart Revenue
Why are venture investors placing colossal valuations on consumer Internet companies like Facebook, Groupon and Zynga? Their revenue growth is simply off the charts.
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Groupon's revenue in 2010 rose more than 22 times to $760 million in its second full year since its daily deals site launched, up from $33 million in 2009. Zynga, the maker of online social games like FarmVille, scored revenue of $850 million in its third full year in 2010, more than triple the year before, and Facebook's revenue rocketed to as high as $2 billion in 2010, its sixth full year.
Their ridiculous revenue growth rates actually rival those of the four largest Internet companies--Google, eBay, Yahoo and Amazon.com--early on. Taking a look at the line graph below, Groupon and Zynga's charted growth is steeper than San Francisco's famous Filbert Street. Over the longer haul, Facebook's sales fall short of the two Internet kings, Google and Amazon, but top those of eBay and Yahoo, in their first six years.
Granted, Amazon, Google, eBay and Yahoo grew up during the dot-com boom a decade ago when online advertising and e-commerce were in their infancy--so their growth is arguably more impressive--but the chart does highlight just how fast this latest crop of consumer Internet companies has come along, and why venture firms have been fighting to own a piece.
Not only is revenue exploding, but profits are, too. Through the first nine months of 2010, Facebook made $355 million, meaning it likely scored a profit well over $400 million, if not $500 million, for the year. Google's net income in 2003, its sixth year, was $399 million. Zynga's profit was also about $400 million in 2010, only its third full year.
Compare all of this with the software industry. As we analyzed previously, less than one-third of the nation's top software companies reached $50 million in annual sales in six years or less--and the fastest to $50 million, Novell, took three years. Microsoft crossed the $50 million barrier in eight years; Oracle, 10 years.
A big question for these young Internet companies - is the growth sustainable?

No. 17 UCLA knocks off No. 18 USC
PASADENA, Calif. -- Brett Hundley passed for 234 yards and a touchdown and rushed for two more scores as No. 17 UCLA beat No. 21 Southern California 38-28 Saturday, clinching the Pac-12 South title and emphatically snapping a five-game losing streak in their crosstown rivalry.
Eric Kendricks blocked a punt and made a fourth-quarter interception for the Bruins (9-2, 6-2 Pac-12), who overcame intermittent second-half rain and USC's star-studded lineup for a gutsy victory that puts them atop Los Angeles football.
A year after USC obliterated the Bruins 50-0 in a game that led to a coaching change in Westwood, UCLA punctuated its one-year revitalization under Jim Mora with its first win over the Trojans (7-4, 5-4) since 2006 -- just their second in 14 years.
Matt Barkley passed for 301 yards and two touchdowns, but threw two interceptions in the Trojans' third loss in four games.

We have to recognize [our kids] are different from us. We made mixed tapes; they remix music. We watched TV; they make TV. It is technology that has made them different, and as we see what this technology can do we need to recognize you can't kill the instinct the technology produces; we can only criminalize it. We can't stop our kids from using it; we can only drive it underground. We can't make our kids passive again; we can only make them, quote, "pirates". And is that good?
We live in this weird time, it's kind of age of prohibitions, where in many areas of our life, we live life constantly against the law. Ordinary people live life against the law, and that's what we are doing to our kids. They live life knowing they live it against the law. That realization is extraordinarily corrosive, extraordinarily corrupting. And in a democracy we ought to be able to do better.

Cordless Blinds, Shades, & Window Treatments
- The safest bet in blinds and shades
- Child and pet friendly without cords
- Clean, elegant look without cord clutter
- Gentle push/pull lift from bottom rail
- Simple, convenient operation
Cordless blinds and shades offer a convenient and safe option now available on most styles of window treatments. Instead of a traditional lift cord, the shade is operated with a gentle push or pull on the bottom rail to position the shade at any height. With no dangling cords, shades are safer for children and pets and have a clean, uncluttered look. Simply select the cordless option when customizing your shade and be sure you can reach the window at the maximum height you would raise the shade - if not, consider a motorized window treatment.

"Great Value"
By Lindsey from Saint Paul
I looked everywhere for wood blinds at a low price. I found that many home improvement stores only carried white and honey colored blinds at a low price. Then I found these on Blindsgalore. They sent me the sample quickly and the blinds came within a week. I am very happy with their qualityView this product

Andrei Zelevinsky was a Mathematics Professor at Northeastern University in Boston. Andrei was a truly distinguished mathematician. Among many other things, he co-developed a new innovative concept (quite a rare event) that had a tremendous scientific effect and generated a lot of new research in many fields by a large group of followers.
Just recently, Andrei was named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. He was awarded the title of The University Distinguished Professor - one of the university's highest honors - and the ceremony bestowing upon him this honor posthumously will take place on April 18, 2013. Later this month, a conference in honor of Andrei's 60th birthday will be held on the campus of his university.
In addition to his outstanding research, Andrei was a great teacher. All his life he enjoyed teaching kids: his younger brother, then his children, and recently started teaching his grandchildren. It is a huge loss for them that they won't be able to get more of Andrei's lessons. Not only a beloved professor at Northeastern, Andrei spent a lot of his free time giving lectures at the math circle for gifted high school kids.
Andrei was uniquely qualified to work with gifted students. To succeed in deeply anti-Semitic Russia of that time, a Jewish kid had to be exceptionally talented - and Andrei was all that and then some. His mathematical talent became apparent at an early age and Andrei's achievements speak for themselves. He was a top student at the famous Moscow "Second School" (the school for the brightest kids at the time), he became a participant and one of the winners of the International Math Olympiad (the toughest problem-solving contest among the school kids from all over the world), and then made it to the top ranks of his chosen profession.
Andrei was fortunate to be given much and he was always generous in giving back to people around him. When a group of courageous mathematicians decided to try to fight the state-sponsored anti-Semitism (Jewish kids were blatantly discriminated against and were (almost) never accepted at the top colleges, including Moscow University) and organize the "Jewish People's University" for (mostly) Jewish kids who were rejected by the official system, Andrei was among the first and most active lecturers. It must be pointed out that this activity was exceptionally dangerous: some of the people involved were arrested and served lengthy prison terms on trumped-up charges, and at least one person was believed to be killed by the KGB. Part 3 of this book contains several people's recollections of what it was like, including Andrei's.
Many of the students Andrei taught at this Independent University - and other places, including the high school attended by both his own children - became distinguished mathematicians in their own right, which is surely a mark of a great teacher.
Andrei was a great family man and a great friend to many people all over the world. When people got the shocking news of his passing, many of the responses were virtually identical: "Andrei was one of the best persons I have ever met."
He will be (and already is) missed by very many.

Autumn Street
"...She would stand there, watching, and would find in the sky the disparate angels of her childhood. With one small hand she would wave good-bye. It was such a long time ago."
There were things to be afraid of in the woods at the end of Autumn Street. But the year she went to live in her grandfather's big house - when her father went off to fight in World War II - Elizabeth couldn't put a name to those dark, shadowy fears. She was grateful for the reassurance of Tatie's strong, enveloping brown arms which held her when she needed comforting, and she relished her friendship with Tatie's grandson, feisty and streetwise Charles, who called her dumb old Elizabeth but didn't mean it, and who taught her to take risks. Together the two lonely children tried to interpret for each other an adult world -which was always puzzling and often cruel. Together, finally, on a day when snow obscured everything but terror, they left that world behind them and entered the world that was waiting in the woods.

Connecticut's higher education chief 'mistakenly' ordered 21 executive raises without board approval
The state's merged public college system backpedaled Tuesday as its top executive announced that 21 raises he "mistakenly" authorized during the past 10 months would be reassessed by its governing board.
That includes the $49,000 increase granted recently to Michael P. Meotti, the executive vice president of the Board of Regents for Higher Education. Meotti announced earlier Tuesday he would forfeit the increase and return his annual salary to $183,339.
The 21 pay hikes ordered between Dec. 20, 2011, and Sept. 21 by Robert A. Kennedy, president of the regents' system, included nine double-digit percentage increases, in connection with an administrative reorganization.

I miss you, Nena.
I miss you more than words can say.
I miss you more than all those sappy love cliches I hear every day.
I miss you.
You made me laugh instead of cry.
You reminded me that I was the only one who could change me.
That getting up and making a difference was the better option in life.
I miss you.
I miss you a lot.
Because instead of standing here in front of your pyre, with the flames dancing in my hand, I know it should've been me up there.
You didn't have to take that for me.
You didn't have to, but you did.
I'll miss you. But I will honor your memory by God's grace.
With all my love, Nena, I hope you're happy where you are now.

Display Email User Agent
Access the "Config Editor" from Edit->Preferences->Advanced (click "I'll be careful...")
- Search after mailnews.headers.showUserAgent and double click on it to activate it
- Restart Icedove and notice that, when viewing a message, below the "To" field the "User agent" is present now
External Editor for Writing Mails
If you want to use an external editor for composing your message take a look at globs.org
Setting up OpenPGP Encryption
Install the Enigmail extension, restart Icedove and run the OpenPGP Setup Wizard
- Install Enigmail via
apt-get install enigmail
- Restart Icedove
- Navigate to the new top-menu entry OpenPGP → Setup Wizard
- Select Yes and hit Next
- Choose whether you want to setup OpenPGP for all identities or just for select identities, if you've created more than one identity in Icedove. If you have multiple identities, choosing to setup OpenPGP for all identities will use one key for all of them.
- Choose whether you want to sign all of your outgoing emails. Signing does not encrypt emails—it places your digital signature on all of your outgoing emails to allow others to verify that you sent the email. It is recommended not to sign all of your outgoing emails as it strongly links you to everything you send out via unencrypted email directly to yourself. It's best just to encrypt your emails to everyone you know who supports encryption.
- Choose whether you want to encrypt all of your outgoing emails by default. This is not recommended as it is cumbersome if your recipient doesn't support encryption. You can setup encryption rules later on, which will enable you to always send encrypted emails under conditions you determine.
- Choose to make some changes recommended by OpenPGP. These are all technical configuration changes in Icedove that streamline the OpenPGP process and avoid configurations that cause breakages. These are all safe changes, though they do change functionality in some cases, most notably by disabling composing HTML messages.
- Either create a key if you haven't done so already, or select an existing key to use. If you have multiple keys and/or multiple identities, you may have to make some manual changes later to associate the right key with the right identity.
- Review the proposed changes and hit Next
If there are no errors, OpenPGP is ready to use. Hit Finish.
OpenPGP Rules
Setup OpenPGP Rules
In Icedove, the Enigmail extension provides the ability for you to setup rules which Icedove will use to automate who will or will not receive encrypted emails from you.
The rule system is pretty powerful and can create a wide array of possible options. This guide will create a rule to always send encrypted email to a specific email address (or multiple email addresses) and operates under the assumption that your emails are unencrypted by default. However, the rule system appears to be powerful enough that if the majority of your contacts use OpenPGP encryption, you can encrypt by default and create a rule that sends unencrypted emails to contacts you have that don't support encryption.
- Navigate to OpenPGP → Edit Per-Recipient Rules
- Click the Add button on the upper right.
- Enter the email address(es) at the top, separated by spaces if matching multiple email addresses, and is exactly if matching exact addresses or enter matching terms and choose the appropriate matching method. The available matching methods are: is exactly, Contains, Starts with, and Ends with
- Choose the Action to be applied upon matching the rule. For this example, choose Use the following OpenPGP keys: and press the Select Key(s)… button. In the box that pops up from that button, select the OpenPGP key for the person to whom you're sending email. If you don't have their public key, press the Download missing keys button, which will search the key servers for the email(s) you entered in the matching box.
- Change Encryption in the Defaults for … section to Always and leave Signing and PGP/MIME as Yes, if selected in Message Composition.
- Press the OK button when you've completed the configuration of the rule.
You are now ready to send OpenPGP (GPG) emails to any recipient via Icedove and to automatically enable encryption for the chosen recipient in the rule you just created.
Icedove seems impossible to send mails via STARTLS after installation of libnss 3.14-1
This problem is not really an Icedove bug (#692886 #692491). With releasing version 3.14-1 of libnss no certificates with a md5 signatures are allowed. It's recommended to check your signatures if you are using md5 based signatures in case of problems. You can do this this
openssl s_client -connect hostname:587 -starttls < /dev/null | sed -n '/BEGIN/,/END/p' | openssl x509 -text
Search for "Signature Algorithm". For further information please take a look at https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:MD5and1024
Take a look at https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts
Create Own Mail Headers
With editing (or creating) your own ~/.icedove/user.js file you are able to create own, not already shipped Mail Header entrys. It have to looks like that. The entry '{custom headers}' is a comma-separated list of the custom headers you want to be available. "Sender,X-Y" adds the Sender: and X-Y: headers, for example.
// This is a comment user_pref("mail.compose.other.header", "{custom headers}");
In detail take a look at the following example. More infos on this on mozillaZine
// my own Icedove settings in $HOME/.icedove/user.js // add these headers to the list of possible headers user_pref("mail.compose.other.header", "X-Debbugs-CC,X-Debbugs-No-Ack");
Selecting URL in Icedove Causes New Page Open In Iceweasel To Take Focus
This problem is reported in #496632. When selecting URL in icedove, window focus is stolen by iceweasel when it loads the url. A temporary workaround is to set the browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground setting. This substantially changes the behavior of iceweasel, so this may not be acceptable for everyone. To access this setting, enter 'about:config' in the url bar. This brings up a warning page, with a button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!". Scroll to the entry titled "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground". Double clicking on this line toggles the setting. Setting this to "true" will prevent iceweasel from stealing focus in the described case. The instructions for changing this setting were originally found at http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-stop-firefox-stealing-window-focus.htm
Problems with Indexing of mails/news
In rare cases it may happen that Icedove is permanently keeps indexing of your mails and messages. The reason for this behavior is mostly a broken or damaged SQLite database. This issue will be easy to fix, you have to delete the broken database. Icedove is creating a new database if not present.
- Close the Icedove application
Remove the file $HOME/.icedove/[Your_Profile]/global-messages-db.sqlite
- Restart Icedove
Icedove and the Mozilla Lightning Extension
The Lightning extension from Mozilla isn't usable with Icedove >= version 24! This happen because of different internally lifetime linking inside the extension. So please use the iceowl-extension from the Debian repositories.
Open Address Book only
Create a launcher with the following command
icedove -addressbook
Iceowl-extension does not remember credentials
Mozilla has changed the way to trust certificates after Firefox or Thunderbird 31. Especially self-signed certificates are not trusted by default any longer (#751086). You can change this behavior by modifying the prefs.js directly or using the UI "Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Tab:General -> Config Editor" and change the following key to 'false'.
security.use_mozillapkix_verification = false
The future of Icedove
What is the future of the upstream Thunderbird project and consequently the Icedove package(s) in Debian?
Mozilla has changed their approach to developing and managing Thunderbird. A very public announcement was made about this on 8 July 2012. Since this announcement Mozilla decided to change the focus of their own contributions to the project and will put more emphasis on their web projects and of course on FirefoxOS. Mozilla plans to open the Thunderbird development to a more community driven project but will also be there for security and stability maintenance. There are no plans to close the packaging of Icedove from the Debian side. There is a project webpage from the developer Bejamin Smedbergs which shows the activity from the Mozilla project members. See also the Mozilla TB ESR Release Plan and on the Rapid Release Calendar. As long as Mozilla will provide ESR versions there will be packaged versions of those inside the various release of Debian. The current stable release Debian Wheezy is getting Icedove 17 versions as security updates from the Thunderbird 17 ESR releases. This happen because the Thunderbird 10 ESR circle is marked as end of life and no more security updated will be provided by Mozilla. After the Thunderbird 17 ESR cycle version 24 will be the next ESR release by Mozilla. If possible version 24 will replace version 17 in stable.
It is important to look at this situation in perspective:
Even though Thunderbird receives less attention from Mozilla than before July 2012, the long term support is still significantly stronger than the support for many other open source projects. There are several examples of popular open source projects that have been completely abandoned by upstream but lived on nonetheless, procmail is one such example.
- The Mozilla announcement doesn't mean that any features will go away, it just means new ones may not be added so quickly. Users and potential users should make any decision about their use of Thunderbird/Icedove based on merit alone, e.g. comparing the features available now against the features in similar packages.
Reporting Bugs
Sometimes Icedove is not doing things as expected or some error happen. Then you need help or want to report the issue. Before you do this please visit the web pages Bugs in icedove, calendar-google-provider, calendar-timezones, icedove-dbg, icedove-dev, iceowl-extension and/or icedove-l10n-* and check if you find a solution for your problem or some other bug is closed to yours reported. Please do this careful! Because errors reported twice or more take a lot of time to coordinate!
Your problem isn't there or you want to provide extra information to an already opened bug? You can report it best with reportbug, really! But you can also use an EMail client to send bug reports. To do this please visit Bugs and Reporting.
Before you send your report, please check if you can append some useful information for the developer! Please read the following chapter for this. If you use a version from testing or unstable/experimental please check also if a similar problem is reported to the Bugzilla on Mozilla and provide the URL to that bug entry if possible. This helps the developer (and the reporter too) to get automatic notifications if the status of the upstream bug has changed. If you are an advanced user and you can't find the bug in the database on Mozilla you can create there your new bug report and then open a bug report on the Debian with the upstream URL to this bug. This helps the package maintainers too.
And if you are an expert and can help to scaling down the bug list any help is appreciated! If you can provide some patches to improve Icedove or some other package please don't hesitate to write a mail to the packages maintainer!
Sometimes you need some debug information for tracking down problems, for example to give the maintainer more useful information if you have some trouble with Icedove. To get a digestible output with gdb while debugging the application (Icedove and used libraries) must have so named "debugging symbols". For the normal use this symbols inside the application are not necessary. To track file actions there is the possibility to use strace to monitor this.
There some dependencies to get a proper debug output. May be you need to install some additional packages. Once the applications with the debugging symbols and the tools to get the output while debugging. Both are necessary. You will need to install the following packages.
additional packages
gdb icedove-dbg strace
Starting Debugging
If these packages are installed you have to start Icedove from a terminal. This is quite simple, you have to give an argument -g to the starting wrapper script of Icedove if the version is <= v10.0.x (like Wheezy or Squeeze). If you use a version of Icedove if > 10.0.x (like stable-security, testing or above) the debugging call has changed. This should be true for all Wheezy installations with security update support (this the default setting while installation). The debugging must be called by the wrapper script /usr/lib/icedove/run-mozilla.sh with option g or debug and the Icedove binary /usr/lib/icedove/icedove-bin. If Icedove is crashing down please also append -safe-mode to prevent the usage of any extension or themes inside Icedove.
This starts the gdb with Icedove as program to debug and logs all the output to /tmp/icedove-gdb-[version]_[timestamp].log. The file can be sent to a bug report as attachment (consider about packing this file it before!). This is mostly needed if your Icedove is crashing at some action. Please check the output of the gdb! If you see something like no debugging symbols found check the packages you have installed. With no debugging symbols it's worthless to go further! The next steps are telling gdb to avoid stopping at certain signals with the "handle" command, then to start the Icedove inside the gdb with the "run" command.
The start of Icedove is taking a little time, after a few seconds you will see (hopefully) the normal GUI screen of Icedove. In the terminal there must be some information to see, in normal case the starting and terminating of Threads, this should looks like this.

If a crash occurs and Icedove stops working and quits, it's possible to get a backtrace of this. For this run the command bt in the terminal there the gdb runs. Remind that Icedove is programmed as a multi threaded program, because of this we want to see all these threads. For more information about gbd around this take a look on How to get a backtrace.
1 (gdb) thread apply all bt
This gives out a collection of the last status from the stack. This information is needed if you reporting errors with a crashing Icedove.
In some special cases a crash of Icedove can produce a crash of your X-Server. If this happen you have to start your Icedove from a screen session. Without this you can't see the output of the backtrace because the terminal is also cleaned up while the X-Server is crashed. After you relogin to your X-Sessions restart your terminal and reattach the screen session with screen -r.
Debugging of file system activity
It is also possible to see what Icedove is trying do on the file system. For this you can use the tool strace. For this Icedove must also started from a terminal. strace logs every system call Icedove makes, and this is a lot! So it is useful to log directly to a file. Note that the file will growing very fast! Best practice is to write the file to the /tmp folder. The file will be dropped if you turn off your PC.
1 user@pc:~ $ strace -e file -f -s2048 -o /tmp/icedove_dbg.txt icedove
Debugging Icedove Activity
The activity of Icedove itself can also be logged. For this you have to tell Icedove what component(s) with which level (1 to 5, but just use always 5!) into which file you are want to log. This can be done from the CLI (Command Line Interface -> the console) or via extra start script nor extra setting. Possible components are the MCD (MissionControlDesktop), SMTP or IMAP. If you want to log just all components you can use the word 'all' for all the components.
For example to log the Imap activity with level 5 to ~/icedove-activity.log from the console do this
Attention! The log file can be growing fast and getting big. If you want to send this file to a bug report don't forget it to pack!
You can also put you requirements to an extra file and export/unexport the variables. You may want to do this
We currently don't create Backport versions for the various release platforms Wheezy and Jessie. There is an agreement with the Release-Team to create and upload security updates instead for Icedove and related packages if there is a new version hitting the ESR release circle. So please ensure you have added the repository for security updates shown on https://www.debian.org/security/ for Jessie and with additions for Wheezy, you will get the recent version automatically. If you unsure how to modify the sources.list use the selector on mozilla.debian.net.
Squeeze users please update to the Jessie release!
l10n for iceowl-extension
If you using the iceowl-extension extension within a Wheezy installation you won't getting the respective l10n package versions via the release or security updates as there was never a package version for iceowl-l10n in the Wheezy release. So if you want to use the calendar in Icedove (aka iceowl-extension) with your locales in your native language please install the needed language pack by selecting on iceowl-l10n Sourcefiles for Jessie.
Known Packaging Problems
There are some problems that needs a lot of time to work on or some rethinking.
- migration, transition of $HOME/.mozilla-thunderbird to $HOME/.icedove or $HOME/.mozilla/thunderbird and /etc/thunderbird to /etc/icedove
- restructuring dependencies for locales of icedove (l10n)
remove the Debian Branding, we can use the official naming and logos (816679#)

The City Planning Commission on Thursday passed an ordinance that allows farmers markets in residential zones citywide and simplifies approval of farmers markets in agricultural, commercial, manufacturing and parking zones.
Now, the ordinance moves "to the PLUM (Planning and Land Use Management) committee and full council" before it is put into effect," said Thomas Rothmann, City Planner for the City of Los Angeles.
Farmers markets are currently banned in residential neighborhoods. However, this proposal does not mean that anyone can hold a pop-up fruit stand in his or her front yard.
Local news from across Southern California
In order to be granted permission to host a farmers market, residents must meet certain criteria to ensure their stands are up to par with regulation and also preserve neighborhood character.
Homeowners who seek to sell food from their homes must attend a public hearing and undergo an evaluation of performance standards before they obtain city approval.
The standards that must be met include following the ordinance's prescribed hours of operation, light, trash, signage, noise, maintenance, deposit and parking regulations.
Concerns have been raised as to whether or not these markets will commercialize residential zones.
"We changed the ordinance based on concerns expressed," said Rothmann. "One concern was, right now, we allow farmers markets, through a permit, in the parking lot of churches and schools only in residential zones. We made sure it was just as easy as it's always been for them to set up there."
Tara Kolla of Silver Lake Farms said that the new ordinance enables an urban famers market feel in residential neighborhoods that will attract foot traffic, not road blockage.
"What this is doing is helping artisanal growers and homesteaders to share with their neighbors and people in the community whatever excess harvest goes to waste," said Kolla. "People aren't going to drive to it. They're going to walk or cycle to it."
Kolla thinks this ordinance provides an opportunity for small business owners.
"Sometimes it's difficult to get onto the larger farmers markets, and this is a great launching pad for someone that wants to go into the pickling, preserving or jam making business," Kolla said.
This ordinance is the second of its kind to provide urban farmers a place to grow and sell their goods. The first was passed last May that allowed Los Angeles residents to grow crops on their property and sell them off-site within city limits.
"Truck gardening will play an interesting part in this," said Rothmann. "These two ordinances can work together to help the food crisis in some of our neighborhoods."

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The Birmingham-Southern men's basketball team notched a thrilling 53-50 upset win against Centre College, Friday evening in Bill Battle Coliseum.
The Panthers move to 13-9 overall and 7-4 in the Southern Athletic Association. The Colonels drop to 17-4 overall, snapping an 11-game win streak, and tonight marked their first conference loss as they fall to 10-1 in the SAA.
The game stayed close for the first 10 minutes, and the teams were tied 8-8 at the 10:41 mark, after which junior Larry Thomas hit a jumper to put BSC up for good. The first half was uncharacteristically low scoring for both teams, with the Panthers leading 21-17 at halftime.
Although BSC maintained the lead for the remainder of the game, and led by as much as 11, Centre fought back to cut it to two, 43-41, with 6:01 left in the game. After BSC pulled back ahead, the Colonels were able to cut the lead to three, 50-47, with 42 seconds remaining. With 15 seconds left, senior Colin Henry stepped to the free throw line for BSC and hit two clutch shots, putting the Panthers up by five. Senior Griffin Schamp also made a free throw with three seconds on the clock before Josh Karsner collected the defensive rebound off Schamp's missed second free throw attempt and sank a hail-mary half-court shot at the buzzer to cut the final score from 53-47 to 53-50.
Junior Larry Thomas led the Panthers with 18 points on 7-12 shooting and 10 rebounds. Donovan Whiteside and Karsner led Centre with 12 points each, and Tyler Wesley led on the boards with nine rebounds.
BSC held the advantage in rebounding, 38-34, but also committed two more turnovers than the Colonels with 12.
The Panthers are at home again on Sunday against Sewanee, tipping off at 3 p.m. following the women's game at 1 p.m.

Red carpet style
If the Golden Globes are an indication of what the rest of the award season will bring, look for more understated glamour from Hollywood.
There were few missteps in the red carpet parade, and that includes entertainment's leading men as well as leading ladies. The message seemed to be look beautiful, alluring and appropriate.
Actresses couldn't go wrong in softly colored gowns, often clingy or cleavage-accentuating, their jewels attention getting but not over the top.
Among the dresses that were hits, count Demi Moore's peach chiffon Dior. Anne Hathaway continues to be polish her fashion image, this time wearing a midnight blue Armani Prive gown studded with crystals. We also liked her low chignon and red lips.
We have to give props to Jennifer Lopez, who reprised her plunge-to-the-waist tradition, this time wearing a gold Marchesa gown with draped front and no back. No one bronzes better.
The guys were swoon worthy, particularly Simon Baker of "The Mentalist," in a midnight blue tux trimmed in black. The younger guys sporting the all-black look included Ashton Kutcher. We liked that the Jonas Brothers dressed very differently but looked great together. Tom Cruise stood out for his clean-shaven face and trim tuxedo.
Some misses:
Why does Maggie Gyllenhaal want to look 30 years older than she is? That dowdy animal print one-shoulder gown might carry a chi-chi Lanvin label, but it didn't do her any favors. Nor did her uptight up-do.
Renee Zellweger usually finds a fit with the stylists at Carolina Herrera, but the see-through black top and skirt she picked were a mishmash. Coupled with a bad hairdo, her look failed all around.
Drew Barrymore's pale blue dress was lovely, but that disheleved Marilyn Monroe-Jayne Mansfield hairdo was a mess.
What was your favorite dress, men's look or accessory?

We've all have service accounts, application accounts, sysadmin and domain admin accounts and other privileged shared accounts on our systems. These are all vital to the running of our applications and databases.
But do you keep them safe?
Are the passwords held somewhere secure, do you audit who looks them up, do you change them regularly, do you even know if these passwords are correct?
I recently installed Thycotic's Secret Server for that purpose.
This is a web app with a SQL backend that can hold all of your passwords, control who can view or edit them, audit who has viewed or changed them, can run a regular heartbeat to check that the password in the database is correct, auto change the passwords and update related services at the same time.
If you have a third party that needs to access a server or application but you don't want them to know the password they use, then you can configure an account with a launcher where they can click on the icon and it logs in to the system without them needing to see or do anything. And it can record what they do once they are on that system as well.
We hold Windows, SQL, Oracle, Unix, web accounts but it can be configured to manage lots more as well as mundane things like combination codes.
It has full DR and HA capability – vital for something that holds all the information your would need in a disaster and it even has a Blackberry and iPhone app giving it extra flexibility, though we haven't tried these yet.
I have been very pleased with Secret Server for enterprise password management and would certainly recommend them and the teams that I've rolled it out to here have been equally impressed with it.

More and more Albertans are hitting the road in RVs, as sales of recreational vehicles are bouncing back along with the economy, according to a report by CBC.ca.
Emily Reid, with Go RVing Canada — the group that represents RV dealers and manufacturers — says sales are way up.
"Alberta, in the first quarter, has shown an increase of 42% increase in sales, which is one of the highest in the country," says Reid.
The economy is playing a big role, according to Darren Paylor with Woody's RV World. He says the recession forced manufacturers to produce RVs for less, and dealers started buying in bulk.
"Trailers have come down a lot in price," he said. "It was timely that it happened as our Canadian dollar strengthened a lot, so the reduction in price in Canada is very substantial."
Paylor says an RV that would have sold for $150,000 six years ago, will now have more features and sell for closer to $100,000.
Trevor Elliott is just one of many Albertans buying a bigger RV this year. He says it's his way to escape the city. "All our friends would come and camp and go out and about and have some fun," says Elliott.

Humax HDR-1000S Freesat+ recorder with FreeTime
TV from space, time travel by broadband
Content management
The menu redesign doesn't help when managing your recordings list. It's slightly confusing, erratic and, like Virgin Media's TiVo, involves a few too many button presses, especially compared to the more straightforward Sky+.
Recordings can be sorted by date, name or still-to-be-watched, among other options
It's likely that some pay-per-view content could appear on the Freesat platform for on-demand programmes and movies, though it's not clear which companies may provide this. The box has a Common Interface slot in case pay channel options are ever added.
Catch-up TV can be accessed from the programme guide or from this menu
The FreeTime system uses elements of HTML 5, Open IPTV and HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV), the specification for connected-TV devices commonly used in Europe. It means that other online services could be added to Freesat using this generation of boxes without too much development time, especially if service providers already offer something similar elsewhere.
The search feature lets you plan future recordings for TV and radio
The picture quality is excellent and generous bitrates result in a better looking image than on Freeview for the main standard-def channels. The box also has a decent scaler to nudge SD closer to HD. Freesat's actual number of HD channels is only five, comparable to Freeview HD, but with potential for many more. Freesat also avoids the bulk of the interference that 4G/LTE mobile broadband signals may inflict on digital terrestrial TV in parts of the UK.
The ITV Player app is not as sophisticated as the Beeb's iPlayer
The box's iPlayer feature is slick and offers HD if the programme supports it. The more basic ITV Player looks blurred in comparison. Like YouView (and in contrast to iPlayer on Sky+, PCs and mobile devices) you can only stream catch-up content rather than save to disk.
The box will also play various multimedia files from USB, hard disk or your network
Rather hidden away under the Humax label on the Home screen is the box's section for playing multimedia from USB (or copies moved to HDD) and shared DLNA devices, plus web services such as Flickr and Picasa (and not much else). The video icon names XVID/AVI as the supported format but it handles a decent range of alternatives too, including WMV, TS, MP4, M4V and MKV, though HD video fared better from USB than over the network. For audio files, however, it is just MP3.

Green Room
Interview: Robert McDuffie's New $3.5 Million Violin
Interview by Melinda Whiting
Violinist Robert McDuffie is a born advocate: a comfortable presence with a persuasive gift when it comes to the music and the beliefs he holds dear. In conversation, his opinions are couched in a casual, unhurried cadence; onstage, his relaxed demeanor gives way to a generous, singing tone and impassioned musical argument.
Much has been made of McDuffie's leisurely trip to the top. While Juilliard classmates like Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and Nigel Kennedy soared to early successes, McDuffie honed his art and his intellect far from the spotlight. Over time, he emerged as the kind of player that colleagues genuinely like and admire. That's served him well in a recent quest to fund the purchase of his dream violin, a $3.5 million Guarneri del Gesú once owned by Paganini. His solution: create a limited partnership; then convince investors to buy shares in the instrument and reap the profits when the violin is sold a quarter-century hence. The venture, consummated in February, marked a marriage of high art and business notable for diluting neither.
Melinda Whiting: How much work was it to put this investment consortium [of sixteen people] together?
Robert McDuffie: It's
the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm still kind of numb from it.
MW: The instrument came first. You wanted that instrument. Why that one in particular?
RM: I'd been told, and I felt, that I was a del Gesú player. The Guarneri del Gesús are actually preferred more than Stradivarius violins by soloists, because the really great ones soar over an orchestra, where Strads can be very finicky and quirky and they don't always have a huge sound. They have some nice soprano qualities, but I like to dig in. And I always felt with my other violin, even though I loved it, that many times I was running with a pulled hamstring. It was a copy of a Galliano -- a Neapolitan maker. It was loud, but it didn't have the depth and the richness and the beauty I really wanted.
When you put out word that you want to see a del Gesú, of course, every dealer who has one will call you. And so we had a little gathering, back in August of '95, [to compare violins]. There's a remarkable person in this violin business, Rene Morel. Rene is the king in the violin world: He has the best ears; he's the greatest craftsman; he's the greatest restorer of fine instruments in the world. Rene is also a dealer with his own shop. He brought a del Gesú that he wanted to sell to me, and a couple of Strads. Joshua Bell came with his Strad. And a dealer from Chicago brought two Guarneri violins in the same price range as the one I ended up with. I brought my fake Galliano, and the Dietmar Machold shop brought some, too. We must have had $20 million worth of violins there on the stage at the Ethical Culture Society on 64th Street [in New York]. Josh and I played them, and I realized, when I was playing this particular del Gesú, that it just felt right.
MW: And then you had to find the money.
RM: I actually thought it was going to be easy. I had real hubris. Well, I had several false starts [in financing the purchase], and then I started becoming a realist. It was a couple of years later that a non-musician friend mentioned the possibility of a limited partnership. Of course I didn't know what that was. It's a legal process. It's a corporation, and only accredited investors can be part of it. There's no tax break or deduction. It's locked-in money for the length of the lease, and this turned out to be the first of its kind in the world. The violin was bought for one purpose, to have me play it and to maintain the value. I realized that nearly every investor became a partner because they believed in me.
MW: But to ask for money purely on your own behalf is something to swallow at first, isn't it?
RM: But on the other hand, I wasn't about to give this violin up. There was no way I was going to give it back. So you reach, and you realize you're stronger that you thought you were.
Well, luckily, Paul Tagliabue came into the picture. He's the commissioner of the National Football League. He ended up hosting two of the three fund-raising soirées we had, and he spoke very eloquently on my behalf. Because of him we were able to invite a more diverse group of people to come. Not just "Friends of Bobby."
MW: I know it's a 25-year lease, and you have 23 years left on it.
RM: Right, we actually started the legal process in July of '98.
MW: So in 23 years, you're going to be...
RM: Sixty-five.
MW: Official retirement age. Are you going to have to retire when they take your violin away?
RM: You know, I'm a partner as well, so I went into this with two hats. I'm experiencing the artistic side, and I will probably experience the financial reward at the end. Right now, though, I'm just happy to be able to re-channel my energy from fund raising -- you know, being director of development for Robert McDuffie, Inc. -- back into real musical projects. Turn it into musical energy.
I believe the next 20 years are going to be the best years of my playing life, physically. I feel great about my playing. And I know I'm going to have one of the three or four greatest violins in the world to make music with. So I can't blame the equipment, if anything bad happens!

Intricate pen and ink portraits representing the four seasons with each illustration showing a dense variation of floral and animal elements to create a unique portrait piece.
My work can be described as surreal and unique in its own way. Using mostly pencil, watercolours and pigment pens, I create portraits of ordinary people but create them in a unusual way by, embellishing patterns and watercolour effects into the portrait to give a vivid explosion effect—transforming their faces from something plain to something entirely bizarre and wonderful at the same time.Iain Macarthur is an illustrator based in London, UK.
