text: Home Culture Whitney Houston's Funeral Bill Angers Some Taxpayers The high cost of security for the pop singer's funeral procession has many Newark residents upset. By: Eric Hinton Posted: April 7 2012 9:48 AM 0 Whitney Houston's funeral procession (Getty Images) The police overtime costs for Whitney Houston's funeral service are going to cost the residents of Newark, N.J., $187,000. And some taxpayers are none too happy about it, reports CBS New York. Nearly two hundred police officers were on duty as part of crowd control measures at New Baptist Church, where Houston's service was held, and later at a private family gathering. The $187,000 tab represents 5 percent of the police department's $4 million annual budget, according to CBS New York. "I think it's absolutely ridiculous when you have people who are unemployed and homeless, people walking up and down the streets," Newark resident Quincy Ruffin told CBS. "If (the Houston family) wanted it to go that far, do that much, they should have been the ones providing for it." Read more at CBS New York. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

In what appears to be the biggest alternative energy investment in the region so far this year, San Diego-based Sapphire Energy, a developer of biofuels technology aimed at crude oil production, said today that it has raised $144M in a Series C funding round. Sapphire Energy said the funding came from Arrowpoint Partners, Monsanto, and other, undisclosed investors, along with all of its Series B investors. Sapphire Energy says its funding now "substantially exceeds" $300M. Sapphire Energy is developing algae-to-energy technology, which uses photosynthesizing algae and cyanobacteria to create biofuels. The firm said the funding will go towards the commercial demonstration of its products at a facility in New Mexico.

You are so welcome! Sorry it took me so long to get back there to find them! I believe I've found Warren's parents and brother also!
I don't know if I had told you this before, but I actually went to school with their son Les, he was a year ahead of me at WDHS.
And then later, I worked with Warren, when he was the Executive Director of the Central Wis Community Action Council in Wis Dells, back in late 1967-early 1968.
Have a terrific summer!

Your Uncle John
Greetings John,
I generally stick to F-A-G guidelines on transfers, and I was holding these memorials until I find time to research my own Uncle Don Hansen's family to see if they're related.
However, I don't know when I'll get to the research, and I see you are a Giver. You've given away most of the memorials you've created, and you take volunteer photo's. That's cool, so I've updated the photos, and the memorials are now your's.
Do tell me though, do you know Uncle Don, and are you all related? If so, would you share your tree if you have one done?
Be good,

I've been in this business awhile…more than 32 years…and the amount of time I've spent in radio became crystal clear to me the other day. I wasn't sitting around thinking about the old days, or talking with people I've worked with. No, just cleaning my office. It's apparently more of a time capsule than an office. Some things I found, I knew were in there. Others I thought had been lost, stolen or given away. I had the normal radio stuff…old tapes of myself from old stations, mostly cassettes, although I had a few reel to reels that I have no way to listen to because nobody has a reel to reel machine anymore. It's not like cassettes are that easy to find either. I found lots of old scribbles that were supposed to be the start of jokes or story ideas which, after reading them, made me realize I wouldn't have made it as either a comedian or writer. I have a promotional Dr. Laura doll…pull the string and it nags. Seriously, that's it what it says. I won't mention my stuffed raccoon. But buried in a bag in the bottom of a box was something that pretty much epitomizes my old days in rock radio: Two locks of Ozzy Osbourne's hair.
Legend has it that Ozzy was at a Los Angeles radio station in the early 80s and decided to shave his head as a stunt. The station didn't want to throw a promotional opportunity away, so they swept up his hair and put it in little baggies which they gave to listeners. A person I knew at the time worked there, so she sent some to my station. I snagged 'em both. And so they sit…30 years later…in a bag in the bottom of a box in the back of my office. Ozzy's hair has grown back since then…I've lost most of mine. I wonder if there's enough DNA left for cloning? Wouldn't the world be a better place if we had another Ozzy?

Lowestoft Town have chance to guarantee home advantage in play-offs
15:03 24 April 2012
Archant Norfolk Photographic © 2012
Lowestoft Town have the chance to go level on points with second-placed AFC Hornchurch this evening when they travel to Cray Wanderers in the Ryman League Premier Division.
Billericay's 2-2 draw with Margate on Saturday gave them the point they needed to secure the title but Lowestoft could still guarantee home advantage in both the semi-final and final of the play-offs if they win their last two games.
They must also hope Hornchurch slip up on the final day against Leatherhead as the Essex side boast a much superior goal difference to the Trawlerboys.
At the very least Lowestoft must regain some of their early season momentum in their last two games ahead of the play-offs after they slipped to a disappointing defeat at home to Hastings at the weekend.
Director of football Craig Fleming admitted to a degree of frustration over the Blues' recent form and hopes the whole club can pick itself up again and push for the runners-up spot.
"We've had disappointment along the way this season but we seemed to have lost that togetherness a little bit and we need to get it back," said Fleming, who bemoaned his side's poor defending against Hastings. "We are in the play-offs with a chance of being runners-up.
"We will get it back on the playing side definitely but the whole place needs to take stock of the situation and say let's have a real crack at it."
With Andy Reynolds out for the season after suffering an ankle ligaments injury against Hastings, 18-year-old Jake Jessup is set to be handed the goalkeeper's jersey.
Lowestoft will once again be without a shot-stopper on the bench, just as they were at the weekend, with the management team preferring to have another attacking option.
Matt Nolan is unlikely to be risked due to a knee injury although there is better news on Dale Cockrill, who is training again after overcoming a back injury, which has blighted his season.
Cockrill is unlikely to play a part against Cray, who must win tonight to keep their play-off hopes alive, due to a lack of match fitness but Fleming confirmed the midfielder is ready to be called upon again if required.
"Dale is fit and now ready to play – he's just now at a time when we can't really risk him," said Fleming, who will at least have captain Greg Crane available for selection after the defender completed his two-match suspension. "We will see how he is and you never know. We've got to take stock of everything now and start preparing for the play-offs."

I need some better explanations for some stuff in Mysterious Unison. Thanks for the guide Ray55555 (and Pants Party) but Ray's is a bit confusing sometimes, when it comes to which way to go and what floor you're supposed to be on.
Does anybody know what floor each of the 7 Soul Shards are on?
That way I won't even leave the floor until I find it. Something like this (as an example: )
Soul Shards are on these floors:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 4
Level 7
Level 9
Level 10
Level 12
If somebody could tell me that, it would be great.
How do you get past Level 7 in Mysterious Unison?
I can't get past level 7. It's like the old Zelda trick to get to the graveyard but I have no idea how to do this one. There is obviously a pattern but I can't seem to figure it out and the guide doesn't really explain it unless I am not reading it correctly.
Also to clarify something, you basically have to play through Mysterious Unison twice because their is a Soul Shard on Level 6 (I think?) that an NPC has. He wants 99,999,999 for it but there is just no way to get that much. The guide says "fight monsters in the dungeon to get that much" which is a little vague. I'll clear it up from information I found out. Level 11 (and/or 12) has monsters that drop something close to 3,000,000 per fight so it will only take you about 30 minutes at that level. So you'd have to go down there and get the gold and walk back through to Level 6.
Does that last paragraph make sense to you all?

"The Bed-Sitting Room" A film written and directed by Richard Lester. Featuring Rita Tushingham, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Spike Mulligan, Arthur Lowe, Marty Feldman, Ralph Richardson and Harry Secombe. Classified PG.
By Roger Ebert / December 10, 1976
If "Monty Python's Flying Circus" had never existed, Richard Lester would still have invented it. In 1970 he directed "The Bed-Sitting Room," a film which so uncannily predicts the style and manner of Python that we think for a moment we're watching television. The movie's dotty and savage; acerbic and slapstick and quintessentially British.
It was also a total disaster at the box office. So great was its failure, indeed, that Lester didn't get another directing assignment until 1974 and "The Three Musketeers." He'd been one of the most popular filmmakers of the 1960s ("A Hard Day's Night," "How I Won the War,") but "The Bed-Sitting Room" hardly opened.
It's an after-the-Bomb movie, but like no other. It takes place at some time in the fairly immediate future, after England and (we gather) the rest of the world have been almost wiped out by a nuclear war. A few people still survive. Some of them ride on an endlessly circling underground train (powered by an earnest young man peddling a bicycle). Others roam through the debris above. They try to appear as proper as possible by wearing the right clothes. From his midriff up, for example, the BBC announcer wears a tuxedo. Everything below is rags, but you can't see that when he's broadcasting (which he does by holding a TV set in front of his face and talking.)
People seem to be genial enough. There's a pregnant young girl (Rita Tushingham) who lives with Mum and Dad on the underground train. There's a genial gentleman (Ralph Richardson) who goes about looking into other people's business. There are two policemen (Peter Cook and Dudley Moore) who operate out of a wrecked Volkswagen suspended from a hot-air balloon. And there's poor Arthur Lowe, who's obsessed by the fear that he'll turn into a bed-sitting room. Well, we all are. All of the characters are mad, of course, but that's not the point; this isn't a heavy-handed anti-war parable, but a series of sketches that gradually grow more and more grim.
Things start out fairly cheerfully, actually. At one point a messenger arrives with a pie, asks if he has the correct person, and when he finds he does, throws the pie into the man's face. So now we know where that fad came from. Later, though, the smiles grow more forced. The characters try to maintain an adequate British reserve, but it's a little hard when you find you are likely to turn into a bed-sitting room. Escalators from the underground are likely to dump you in mid-air, a square meal is hard to come by, Rita Tushingham's baby dies and so on. Since the movie accompanies all of this material with mindlessly mechanical music hall tunes, the effect is macabre.

Canfield, Ohio -- Senior Cheryl Cale struck out five and scattered just seven hits in a complete-game 4-2 win over Butler on Sunday afternoon at McCune Park to give Head Coach Brian Campbell his 300th career victory.
The Penguins improve to 7-19 overall and 1-2 in the Horizon League while Butler falls to 26-7 overall and 4-1 in the league.
The Penguins also pounded out 10 hits led by junior Kim Klonowski's 3-for-4 outing while sophomore Haley Thomas and freshman Vicky Rumph each added two singles.
Youngstown State jumped on Butler starting pitcher Breanna Fisher early with a run in the bottom of the first inning to take a 1-0 lead. Thomas began the game with a single through the right side and advance to second on a wild pitch. Klonowski drove in Thomas with a single through the left side.
In the bottom of the third, the Penguins ballooned their lead to 4-0 when Kristina Rendle reached on an error to lead off the frame. After Klonowski doubled to put runners on second and third, Rumph singled to left field to score Rendle and moved up to second on a errant throw.
Sophomore Kristen Philen single to center scoring Klonowski and Rumph scored when sophomore Jordan Ingalls reached on another Bulldog miscue.
Cale had allowed just four hits through five innings, but Butler's Bridget Paine led off the sixth with a single and later scored on Jenny Esparza's two-out single to left field to cut the YSU lead to 4-1.
In the top of the seventh Cale struggle a bit hitting pinch-hitter Devin Dearing with two strikes and gave up a run on Lauren McNulty's sacrifice fly to right field. A two-out walk to Erin Falkenberry loaded the bases but Cale induced a ground ball out to second base to end the game.
The Penguins return to action against Akron, Tuesday, April 6, at 3:30 p.m. at Akron in a rescheduled doubleheader from March 23.

ART's Tube MP/C combines a hybrid 12AX7 (ECC83) valve preamp section with the company's 'Vactrol' optical compressor, and the whole thing is all about tonal character.
Optical compressors are renowned for their tonal flattery, but an output transformer is also employed specifically to add coloration (although this is rather subtle: the amount of distortion added before you pile on the tube drive is actually only around 0.1%!).
The compressor has far fewer controls than is typical, and is set to a fixed 2:1 ratio, but it's not as limited in operation as this might suggest. It has a switchable release time, which is fixed at 150ms in the fast setting, and automatically variable between 20ms and 3s when set to slow. It can also be switched to function either as a compressor or a limiter, with attack times fixed at 20ms and 1ms respectively. The amount of compression is set using the threshold control, and a row of four LEDs shows the amount of gain reduction up to 15dB. Further LED metering follows the overall output level from -20dB right up to clipping. Sensibly, there's also a bypass switch for the whole compressor/limiter section.
The preamp has an EIN (Equivalent Input Noise) of -128dBu A-weighted, and the frequency response is a surprisingly wide 30Hz to 60kHz ±1dB balanced, with the non-transformer jack output going down to 20Hz. A maximum line output level of +19dBu is quoted. Although this is below what you'd expect from a top-of-the-line preamp, it should be enough to keep you out of trouble, even when feeding a digital interface that expects to see levels of +16dBu or so to reach digital full scale.
I have to admit that I wasn't expecting anything particularly subtle or refined from what, at the end of the day, is a very affordable mic preamp. However, having conducted a series of subjective tests with voice and acoustic guitar, the results were rather more classy than I'd anticipated. Used as a straight mic preamp in its clean range, with no added compression, I obtained clean, clear signals from both capacitor and dynamic microphones. But even with the gain pushing those amber LEDs into the 'warm' range, the added coloration was still nicely subtle, bringing a pleasant weight and thickness but not at the expense of clarity.
Bringing in the compressor evens out the sound level, just as you'd expect, and at lower gain-reduction settings the compression is reasonably transparent and natural-sounding. Add more and you start getting into 'compression as an effect' territory, but even then the result remains musical, with an endearingly springy 'opto' character. Using the fast release setting on acoustic guitar can create a very 'produced' kind of sound, combining thickening and levelling in a way that adds a sense of excitement and power. Meanwhile, although you can hear the compressor doing its thing in a more obvious way in the fast mode, it never seems to get offensive. The fast compression mode also works well to add sustain to bass guitar, and is particularly good for enhancing that fretless whine, while the slower mode keeps the gain under control in a far less obvious way.
As ever, you must keep background noise to a minimum when using heavy compression (such noise is raised in level between notes or phrases), but for typical close-miked applications the noise of the mic preamp was never an issue for me, and both room sounds and computer-fan noise will typically be of far greater concern for home-studio recordists.
The only thing this preamp doesn't do is overload gracefully; clipping the input produces a harsh and spitty sound, so this isn't a preamp you can use to create musical 'dirt' once you've passed the 'warm' stage. As long as you keep an eye on that input clip LED, though, you'll find the ART Tube MP/C makes a versatile and musical-sounding front end.

Vodafone Navigator for Vodafone Blackberry Users
See left for the rest of today's 3G news from 3G.co.uk
24th January, 2007
Europe : Vodafone España announced the launch of Vodafone Navigator, a complete GPS mobile navigation service, updated in real time, for Vodafone Blackberry* users powered by the Telmap Navigator solution.
The Vodafone Navigator solution works as a GPS to provide the user with the best possible route to their destination by using real-time updated maps and traffic information. It offers coverage and cartography for the whole of the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Andorra, Portugal and Gibraltar). All data traffic for map downloads, routing and accessing information in real-time is included in the Blackberry Flat Rate.
The service is available at the price of €249 and includes:
• A GPS Bluetooth receiver/transmitter with charger
• One-year's service
• All data traffic to download maps and for routing and information included in the Blackberry Flat Rate.
Vodafone Navigator provides an enriched navigation, cartography and travel-assistance experience. It guides the user – both in-car and pedestrian - to the best route for the desired destination, using high-quality voice and map instructions. If traffic is heavy, Vodafone Navigator will inform the user in real-time and all the maps are automatically updated without the need to purchase new versions or download additional applications. The service can currently be used with all Blackberry* devices and will shortly be expanded to other advanced mobile devices.
Vodafone Navigator also allows users to easily search for points of interest, such as restaurants, hotels or shopping centres. Once found the details can be shared with friends via SMS.
Vodafone Navigator is based on latest-generation technology patented by Telmap 'MOND' (Mobile Optimised Navigation Data); which optimises navigation- and map-data transfers from a central server to the users' mobile devices. MOND technology uses an advanced compression protocol to transmit the most complete, practical, appropriate and reliable navigation data to mobile terminals. The system guarantees that Vodafone Navigator users can enjoy interruption-free navigation with dynamic rerouting without having to reconnect to the server.
"Telmap is very happy to extend the benefits of advanced, real-time mobile navigation to Vodafone España's subscribers said Oren Nissim, CEO of Telmap. "Vodafone España's trendsetting decisions to offer Vodafone Navigator is further proof that the world's leading operators recognize the great potential of mobile navigation."

Peace, one and all…
This poem came to me as I was listening to my usual dhikrs and ilahis on the train to work this morning. The aim of the poem is to ask this simple question: what would it be like if the fire in my heart could be shared?
'Within my heart there lies a song,
Of which I know nought of words or melody.
Sometimes the song of my heart is a fragile brook,
Its water flowing through secret caves.
And, when God's loving embrace urges me to song,
It rises as a raging flood, sweeping away all before it.
At these times, my heart yearns to reach out
And encourage others to sing by my side,
So that together our singing might become a symphony
In praise of Hu.
But I have no power to open hearts,
Or to read secrets
And the song of my heart would sound lifeless upon my withered tongue.
But for my Beloved all things are possible,
And quickening my parched tongue is for Him an easy task'.
Ma'as salama,
Abdur Rahman

Several new patent filings have revealed what appears to be Microsoft's pen and touch plans, hinting at future Windows 8 use.
Microsoft filed for a variety of picture related gestures in January, 2010. The software giant has just published the patents to these gestures in the past few days. The gestures involve multiple implementations and allow for tablet users to make use of touch and pen based inputs. Microsoft has also supplied a number of images to accompany the gestures.
Copy Gesture
The most basic of Microsoft's new gestures will allow for images and data to be copied by simply tapping the object to select it and then dragging it with a stylus or pen to the left of the object. The opacity of the object increases the further away it is moved from the source object. Microsoft states "although a specific implementation has been described using touch and stylus inputs, it should be readily apparent that a variety of other implementations are also contemplated," suggesting that the copy gesture will be available without a pen/stylus input.
Staple Gesture
Microsoft's staple gesture appears to allow tablet users to group objects together into stacks. Objects are selected by using touch and stylus inputs. An initial input is recognised and further taps on objects will allow objects to collate underneath each other into blocks. "The staple gesture may also be repeated to add additional objects to the collated display of a stapled group of objects, further collate groups of already collated objects, and so on," says Microsoft's patent filing.
Cut Gesture
Cut allows for images or objects to be split apart. The gesture works by a combination of touch and stylus or touch alone. Objects can be separated by cutting across them using the gesture.
Punch-Out Gesture
Punch-out does what it says on the tin. The gesture allows users to manipulate an object and punch a section out of it. "It should be noted that although a specific example was described in which the punch-out gesture was input using touch and stylus inputs, those inputs may be switched, a single input type (e.g., touch or stylus) may be used to provide the inputs, and so on," notes Microsoft.
Rip Gesture
Rip allows for objects to be separated into two using finger touch input. The gesture simply separates the object by a nature pulling apart of both fingers.
Edge Gesture
The edge gesture can be used to create straight lines from objects. The gesture can also be used to cut through other objects in a straight edge manner. The gesture appears to work like a rule, allowing pictures to be used for edging. This gesture uses a variety of stylus of touch inputs.
Stamp Gesture
The stamp gesture is perhaps the most impressive of all Microsoft's gestures. The tool allows users to create rubber stamps of existing objects and reuse them as a copied item.
Brush Gesture
The brush gesture allows users to quickly edit objects. Brush appears to allow users to quick remove a particular part of a picture or object and have it stored elsewhere on the screen. This is particularly useful for those who work with a number of images.
There's a number of other gesture including carbon-copy, fill, cross-reference and link. The majority of the gestures appear to be photo related and have been previously demonstrated on the company's Surface product (see video below). The patents also appear to be similar to Microsoft's original pen and touch input plans for its axed Courier project. Microsoft has completed a number of research projects around pen and touch computing. The company clearly believes that the pen or stylus is still an important input object alongside touch and the software maker appears to be working to unite them in new ways.
Microsoft canceled their internal Courier project shortly after the release of the iPad. The project was an innovative new tablet concept that had promised to combine a dual screen book design with finger and stylus input. The leaked promotional materials demonstrated various concepts that would have brought an unparalleled productivity tool to the market. Microsoft is currently reading beta copies of Windows 8 in preparation for its BUILD developer conference in September. The company revealed its new tablet interface in June. The interface puts touch at the forefront using the company's familiar Metro design of live tiles. Microsoft is expected to detail Windows 8 in full at BUILD and will likely release the first beta bits of the new operating system. A final version of Windows 8 is expected in mid-2012.

Letters: North County, April 27, 2013
It's a wonderful service that I hope San Diego's city library will soon offer, too.
Mary Jo Redman
In reference to Joseph Amshey's letter of April 17 titled "Where are the books?," he would like to access books which are not part of the San Diego County Library's (SDCL) collection. Mr. Amshey may not know that SDCL offers its members access to two library consortiums outside of the their collection — Circuit and Link+. Circuit consists of academic libraries in San Diego and Link+ is a combined catalog of more than 5 million items from public libraries across California and Nevada.
If the item is available at one of these systems, it will be sent to the SDCL borrower at their local county branch within a week. All you need is a library card. For more information, go to
sdcl.org or visit your local SDCL Branch.

Benghazi and Boston
President Obama declared the terrorists responsible for Benghazi would be held responsible for their heinous acts and feel the full weight of justice.
Thus far we have not been offered a full accounting of how it was allowed to happen. The parents of those brave American heroes deserve a full accounting, as do all patriotic American citizens.
The Muslim Brotherhood leader of Egypt released the Somalia prisoner he held for "lack of sufficient evidence"? We then rewarded Egypt and its Muslim leader with $250,000 in aid. How does that hold those terrorists responsible accountable, Mr. President?
I find you extremely eloquent, Mr. President. However, is it all convenient hot air or are you just taking advantage of an opportunity to score political points?
We now have another heinous terrorist act in Boston. Mr. President, you once again made an eloquent declaration that those responsible will be hunted down and held fully accountable.
Will it be easier to hold the perpetrators accountable as it occurred in Boston, or if they are found to be Muslim will you release them?
Does your conscience bother you about Benghazi? If it doesn't, it certainly should!
Roland Roberts
Be An Independent Voter
The infantile and defective mentality of individuals who seek to compare the misconduct of former politicians to the disgraceful behavior of our current leaders in order to justify or rationalize the actions of the latter is beyond ridiculous. Bush did this, Cheney did that, Kissinger was a war criminal. So? Hold them accountable if they broke the law.
That doesn't give President Obama a free pass because people can say, "Well, he's less worse than the guy he took over from."

J.C. Penney job No. 1: Calming vendors
NEW YORK As J.C. Penney Co. burns through its cash after a disastrous turnaround plan and taps almost half of its credit line, the flailing department store chain doesn't only have to calm its investors. It has to restore confidence among its several hundred suppliers whose constant flow of merchandise must continue if the retailer is to survive.
Penney announced Monday that it would draw $850 million from its $1.85 billion revolving credit line to pay for replenishing inventory, particularly for its overhauled home area. Some analysts say the move shows that the Plano, Texas-based company is burning through cash faster than expected. Penney is also looking for alternative sources of funding.
It comes at a critical time. Penney is wrapping up back-to-school orders and is starting to order goods for the critical holiday shopping season. Normally, retailers order goods well in advance but don't pay for them until about 30 to 60 days until after goods are shipped. If vendors start demanding to be paid in advance, stores face a cash crunch when they order goods for busy shopping periods.
"Maintaining a seamless flow of merchandise is critical," said Marshal Cohen, chief retail industry analyst with market research firm The NPD Group. If shoppers see empty shelves, they'll go somewhere else, he says.
The concerns about the future of Penney are mounting a week after Penney fired its CEO, Ron Johnson, after 17 months on the job and rehired his predecessor Mike Ullman. Johnson spearheaded a costly turnaround plan that included getting rid of most discounts, bringing in hip brands and transforming the stores into collections of mini-boutiques.
The changes turned off shoppers, resulting in a nearly billion-dollar loss and a 25 percent drop in revenue to $12.98 billion for the fiscal year ended Feb. 2.
Cohen and others point to a string of retailers, including Circuit City and Linens `n Things, that were forced into bankruptcy in part because nervous suppliers delayed shipments of goods or stopped them altogether.
Ullman, who was Penney's CEO for seven years until November 2011 before he was replaced by Johnson, is expected to be in New York this week meeting with vendors, according to Dan Hess, CEO of Merchant Forecast, an independent research firm that monitors the retail sector.
Analysts believe Ullman, who is known to have strong relationship with suppliers, will have a calming influence among them. In the stores, he's expected to bring back discounts and coupons and will be assessing other parts of Johnson's legacy. Ullman is also expected to add back some of the merchandise from store label brands like St. John's Bay in a bid to reclaim its middle-age shoppers who were turned off by its push to brightly colored, body-hugging designs.
"Ullman has always been an executive of high integrity," Hess said. He noted that suppliers will to be willing to take more risks than they would if Johnson were still at the helm.
Allen Schwartz, president of A.B.S. by Allen Schwartz, a supplier of dresses and sportswear for Penney, says he is more relieved now that Ullman is back.
"I feel more comfortable," he said.
Even Chris Madden, a traditional home furnishings brand that had been dropped under Johnson's regime, is looking to rekindle its partnership. The brand, which was stamped on a variety of home goods from pillows to furniture, had generated more than $1.5 billion in sales since it started selling to the chain in 2004.
"We would love to be their partner in rebuilding that segment of that market," said Nick Madden, executive vice president of Chris Madden Inc., and son of the namesake designer. He noted that the designer and Penney have been swapping informal emails since last week.

They should the high lights and actually had more Brackins high lights than KU high lights, and Bobby Knight said I don't care I want to talk about Butler, so he blah blah blahd about Butler while they were showing brackins high-lights. Then he ended it with we should be showing Butler and "not whoever the hell was playing Kansas" **** you Bob Knight
And he just gave his top performer to the girl who just gave the anthem cuz it was great and not UCONN's D which ESPN had up for his answer.
Don't sweat it. He's just being himself. 99% of the country probably laughed.
bob night hates Iowa State there i said it!
It's not like Brackins had a big game against a big-name opponent or anything.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
Bob knight hates everyone
I was a little mad watching that, but at least we're on sportscenter.
We had a guy score 42 points, we played at home and still lost by 15. We deserve some of this banter from Knight.

As an ISU fan I take it personal.

Exactly, Rece Davis set it up for Craig Brackins and Bob immediately shot it down and went on about Butler.
I wonder if this changes ESPN's thinking? From the praise they were giving him, it looked certain that he'd be making it as an analyst soon. I know he called a game recently, but I mean full-time analyst.

You're probably right.
Having heard Coach Knight speak and played under one of his disciples, I'm guessing he doesn't want to give a guy pub in a losing effort...

I don't think we have selfish players on our team...but I've always been a big believer that stats don't count unless you win...if sports were played this way...it would take away a LOT of selfishness.
Having said that, Brackins was a stud today.

Ok, so maybe I'm the only person on earth who wants to do this with Zimbra.
I want to set up a Zimbra server, in my house, for myself and a few other family members. I could use Horde/IMP, or phpGroupware, or Citadel, and I've tried out several of them. But I really like the whole AJAX thing that Zimbra's got going on. Outlook support is a killer for me, though, and now that I just picked up a Blackjack the ability to sync wirelessly would be nice too. (I can probably give up Outlook, if I have to.) The Exchange server I am running via a personal Small Business Server will do that for me... but I really don't want to run Exchange anymore. (Shitty support for multiple identities...)
Ok, so I can use the Open Source edition. I understand that. But Open Sourcers don't seem to have any way of connecting Outlook, or their handhelds, to Zimbra. Just pretty AJAXy web interface and that's about it.
So, then, I was like, "well, maybe I can get hosted Zimbra for myself for cheap." No biggie, right? I pay 1&1 $9 a month for an insane amount of web and mailspace, I figure someone can give me a Network-licensed, Outlook and mobile capable account for a couple bucks a month. I'd pay for that... but instead the best offer I can find is $16+ a month, from a company who's website looks a little dubious. I'm not quite sure if I want to pay $200 a year plus setup for this.... especially when
So, seriously, what gives? I understand that there are very few people out there that have the knowledge and wherewithal to set this up, but the fact is the only way I can get MAPI and mobile sync is with the Network edition... and for that you've got to pay through the roof for users you won't even use.
So, any way individual consumers might be able to snag a sweet network copy? I understand the concerns: businesses might abuse it, difficult to police, and what-have-you. But I can see an interesting future: sell tech-set families Zimbra packaged in a copy of VMWare Server, pre-installed and ready to go on their new Windows Home Server systems, or, hell, even a spare desktop. (Vista Ultimate RTL gives users an extra server license.) Give the parents Outlook connectivity and the kids the ability to sync their iPhones or whatever to their email while out on the road...
Or, any decent Zimbra hosting providers that give plenty of space without breaking the bank?
