Gator Uses Credit Card of Teammate's Dead Girlfriend
Florida Gator safety Jamar Hornsby has been charged for allegedly using the credit card of a woman who was killed in a motorcycle accident that also killed a teammate.
The woman, who was the girlfriend of one of Hornsby's teammates, was getting a ride home from Gator walk-on Michael Guilford when his motorcycle struck a curb at high speed last October 12th.
Hornsby allegedly started using the dead woman's credit card on October 13th.
Yeah, as in the next day!
Police are unsure how he got his hands on the credit card but EDSBS reports it happened when Hornsby was helping his teammate clean out his girlfriend's apartment the day after she tragically died.
If the allegations are true, forget getting kicked off the team, this guy needs to spend some extra time in a jail cell for the added crime of being a complete piece of shit and embarrassment to humanity.

This is lower than any one single act ever committed at Oklahoma (even under Switzer), Miami, Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Florida St., Clemson, Texas Tech, Colorado, and SMU COMBINED!!
Absolutely disgusting.

Here's the funny thing about this kid. UM was close to getting this kid and Lefty even promised him the #1 jersey should he had picked UM (he was recruited as a WR by UM).

I hope I don't get flames into oblivion for this.
As bizarre as these circumstances are and as tragic as the death, isn't this, in a sense, more a victimless crime than credit card fraud involving a living person who might actually be held to account for the charges (a la Kevin Quick)? Who knows what he used the credit card for. From my very limited knowledge of medicine and health insurance (admittedly mostly Scrubs and House) doctors sometimes bill procedures for poor patients to the insurance of recently deceased, well-covered patients. Might something similar have hppened here? On the other hand, this might have been just out and out sick, but I thought it was important that we consider potential extenuating factors.

Nice thought Daniel, however, I don't think that there is any excuse to break the law. (hmm, strong statement, given I just now sent my income tax in (late) and without an extension filed, which by definition is breaking the law) Nevertheless, what ever the reason, he stole money. Period. The majority of people in America are financially strapped and they don't take the credit card of their dead buddies, dead girlfriend and use it.
As a health professional, I am certain that there are health professionals that bill incorrectly (most by accident, the regulations are extensive and confusing) however MOST health professionals understand the meaning of fraud and don't wish to risk their livelihood, they are more inclined to offer charity care (which is also highly regulated and not easy to offer)
I suppose then if he had gone to the bank and committed armed robbery for the sake of paying his health care bill, that would be acceptable too?

Good follow up Catie. I'm not saying what he did is right by any means and admitted that my healthcare knowledge is really limited. All I was saying was that the "dead girlfriend" angle to me was somewhat sensationalist (though interesting, and so I understand why it gets reported in that context) and not really related to the credit card fraud and that if anything made the fraud a more "victimless" crime.

Unfortunately Daniel, credit card fraud isn't a victimless crime just because she is dead. Our society will pay the price for this crime. Just because ONE person isn't affected by this, doesn't mean that someone isn't going to be a victim, the next time your credit card interest rate increases, you can thank this loser. There are no free rides, and as a society, we are paying heavily for these types of things. Sorry, you seem like a compassionate fellow, and I have more compassion than it may seem by these posts, but the reality is, he made a huge mistake, and needs to face the consequences.
- May 10, 2008 1:03 PM
- Maize said...
This isn't a victimless crime. The victims are all of us law abiding citizens who end up paying the higher interest rates that credit cards charge to make up for those that do what this POS ahole did.
- May 10, 2008 2:35 PM
- Daniel Kessler said...
I don't mean to keep defending myself as I don't believe this crime is A-OK and wasn't claiming such, but I think some of you are arguing with something I didn't actually say. I didn't say that this is a victimless crime, but suggested that the fact that the card holder is deceased makes this more a victimless crime than if the card holder was still alive and potentially liable for some of the costs.

I appreciate your attempt to play devil's advocate here, but I think people would be far more forgiving if he did steal a living person's credit card. Stealing from the dead, particularly in a time of tragedy for your team, shows a certain lack of humanity that frankly is hard for me to even comprehend. It really exposes what his real priorities are and I don't see how anyone could trust him after somthing like this.

not the first time i've been called a "mother", but certainly one of the more polite times.
after a whirl wind of kid things on Saturday, i found myself @ Krogers, 8:00 a.m., looking for cards w/ a dozen or so other dads who had obviously just woke up, realized they hadn't bought a d#@$ card, and had hustled their butts down to the store before the wife wakes up.
refreshing to know i'm not the f*$^ up in the neighborhood.
wife loved the gift, kids given all the credit. typical mothers day.

Lol SiC,
For some reason I have this picture of you and about 8 other guys, hair all askew looking like you obviously just woke up and needing a cup of coffee. And since everyone threw on whatever they could find to get out of the house quickly it's you in a Michigan t-shirt and about half the others in Buckeye gear. And someone handing a card to you, chuckling, saying "Hey have you seen this one? By the way, Fuck Michigan." And you cordially replying "No, I haven't but check this one out. And Tressell eats the souls of kittens."
This totally needs to be made into a commercial.

As a Gator Fan this is appalling. I can not think of a lower thing to do to a teammate and friend. He was quickly kicked off the team (sorry Chris in NC). Every Gator fan I know wanted him booted.
However, the crime committed here was credit card fraud. The fact of whose card it was makes it despicable but did not make the 'Crime' any worse. My point is that as bad as this sounds, it is not even in the same league as some of the other crimes committed by college football players.

LJTunes...Lets be honest here. The only reason Meyer kicked him off the team is because he wouldn't have seen significant playing time anyway, with the signing of Will Hill and Dee Finley. Meyer is not the disciplinarian that everyone thinks he is. He makes examples of expendable players.
This is absolutely discussing. I truly feel terrible for the victim's family.

obviously, with 40 comments (about 25 pertinent), this is very discussing, but it is also disgusting (which is what i think you ment)

Actually, Hornsby has a very impressive spring and we in the mix for a starting spot. Marcus Thomas was a starter and was booted in the mists of MNC run in '06. Meyer is probably not the saint that the media built him up to be, but he is no Bobby Bowden.

Holiday gifts that give back
For Toms, charity is a year-round endeavor.
But this holiday season, the shoe company known for its buy-one/give-one policy is making a bigger splash by teaming with Target for an extensive collection that goes way beyond that recognizable footwear. The collection for men, women and children has some 65 items, none costing more than $50.

text: Back to News US Youth Soccer joins leading youth organizations on launch of Healthy Kids Hub website to support millions of children New website from ChildObesity180 helps programs implement healthy principles Boston (April 8, 2013) – Healthy Kids Out of School, an initiative of ChildObesity180, today launches the Healthy Kids Hub website (www.HealthyKidsHub.org) to support out-of-school programs in promoting healthy snacks and physical activity through customized, evidence-based tools and resources. The website was launched at the National Afterschool Association Convention in Indianapolis with more than 2,000 out-of-school-time leaders in attendance. Healthy Kids Out of School is one of the high-impact, integrated strategies created by ChildObesity180 to reverse childhood obesity. Founded on three key principles – Drink Right, Move More, and Snack Smart – Healthy Kids Out of School has united some of the country's leading organizations around these simple principles so that children experience consistent, healthy messages across out-of-school-time activities. Together, these organizations represent millions of children nationwide and include Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the USA, National Council of La Raza, National Council of Youth Sports, National Urban League, Pop Warner, US Youth Soccer, YMCA of the USA, and National 4-H Council. Through the new Healthy Kids Hub website, all out-of-school-time programs—from sports leagues to extracurricular activities—will now have access to resources that support healthy habits. "With millions of American children participating, out-of-school-time programs are effective environments for building healthy foundations in children's lives," says Christina D. Economos, PhD, Vice-Chair and Director of ChildObesity180, Associate Professor at the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, and a leading researcher in the field of childhood obesity prevention. "The Healthy Kids Hub is designed to support volunteers, coaches, and leadership of these programs with free or low-cost resources that fit naturally into their programs' missions. We are grateful for the support provided by the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation to foster healthy environments for children." The new Healthy Kids Hub website features a collection of hundreds of educational resources developed by leading universities, afterschool organizations, and other non-profits. Visitors can browse through resources on their own or complete a brief survey to get resources tailored to their specific needs. The Healthy Kids Hub also features products, discounts, and other special offers that encourage healthy habits. Visitors to the Healthy Kids Hub website have the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to a national movement of out-of-school-time leaders supporting healthy programs by signing a pledge to support the principles. "As the nation's largest youth sports organization, US Youth Soccer strives to foster the physical, mental and emotional growth and development of America's youth through the sport of soccer at all levels of age and competition," said Jim Cosgrove, Executive Director of US Youth Soccer. "We know the many benefits associated with children being active and participating in sports such as soccer, and the impact they can have on their family. US Youth Soccer is pleased to partner with ChildObesity180 in the launch of the Healthy Kids Hub, a great resource that will assist in the improved health of young people all across the nation." To mark the launch of the Healthy Kids Hub, visitors who take the pledge before May 8, 2013 will be entered for a chance to win one of 100 $50 gift cards (see full contest rules at www.healthykidshub.org/giveaway-rules.pdf). Later this year, the Healthy Kids Hub plans to launch an online social network for leaders and volunteers to connect and share ideas for offering healthy choices. Visit the Hub at www.HealthyKidsHub.org.

It's Grand Theft Auto V week at Weekend Confirmed! Hosts Garnett Lee and Jeff Cannata welcome in "Indie" Jeff Mattas and Game Trailers' Marcus Beer to first discuss Diablo 3 and the closure of the auction houses. Then it's a full-length discussion of GTA V, diving into everyone's first impressions of Rockstar's newest opus, the game's similarities to real-world Los Angeles, a breakdown of the game's characters (including the sociopathic Trevor), and the ways in which Rockstar will (both fairly and unfairly) shoulder the controversy burden for years to come. That's followed up with some listener questions before everyone drives off into the weekend with a new round of Finishing Moves and the post-show Tailgate.

The GRASP Project has created an algorithmic-level graphical representation for software called the Control Structure Diagram (CSD). The CSD was created to improve the comprehension efficiency of Ada source code and, as a result, improve software reliability and reduce software costs. Since its creation, the CSD has been expanded and adapted to include other languages. GRASP provides the capability to generate CSD's from Ada 95, C, C++, Java, and VHDL source code in both a reverse and forward engineering mode with a level of flexibility suitable for professional application. GRASP has been integrated with the GNU family of compilers for Ada (GNAT) and C (gcc), and Sun's javac compiler for Java. Use of GRASP is not restricted to these compilers, however.

But as promised, I wanted to share with you all how the satin-black bathroom came out! I know that using black paint on walls can sound a bit scary, but if done right it can actually look very classic and beautiful.
So this room actually became black on a whim. Little backstory... I had painted the adjoining guest bedroom a pretty neutral gray (Edgecomb Gray by Benjamin Moore) shortly after we moved in. I LOVE that color. Since I had almost a half gallon of it left, I figured I would paint the bathroom that color as well.
Here's a little shot of it in the guest bedroom...
Until I remembered it was a "flat" finish. Which isn't the best formula for a bathroom. For bathrooms, I like to use at least an eggshell formula. Preferably a satin. Just because hairspray, products, any moisture basically, will stain the walls and be almost impossible to clean. The finish basically soaks it right in. So a satin (or glossier) formula will be easiest to clean and hold up so much better.
So I went into the garage to see what leftover paint we had in a satin formula.
Remember these??
To see more on painting the French doors in our foyer black, check out this post.
Yep. An almost full can of Behr Black Suede in a satin finish. I had purchased the full gallon of this (although the French doors took maybe about 1/8 of it to paint?) thinking I may use it on the back of the front door as well, which I'm still thinking about.
Anyway, I immediately got really excited about the idea of a chic little black bathroom.
Here is the before shot...
When we moved in to this house a few months back, you may remember me talking about how excited we were about how updated everything was. Every faucet, fixture, cabinet knob, countertop, doorknobs, floors, granite... everything had been replaced brand new before we moved in. Except this bathroom...
It was like the poor little bathroom that everyone forgot. In these before photos, you may be able to tell I had replaced the cabinet knobs with some of my Anthropologie crystal pretties I brought from our last house. Yeah, all new cabinet knobs everywhere too. Just not in here. I seriously think they just forgot about it.
So my plan was to work with what I had in here.
The paint color before was totally not unbearable, but it was very yellow in this room. Also, you cannot tell at all from the photos, but the paint was peeling off and flaking in a lot of areas in here. I'm guessing there was wallpaper in here before and when it had been removed, maybe there was some residue left over that they painted over? Totally not sure.
Here's a few more before shots.
This bathroom is meant to be shared between the two bedrooms at the end of the hall. The guest bedroom actually connects, while the other bedroom doesn't. It's right next to the doorway to the bathroom though. I cannot wait to share that room with you guys. It's HUGE. We're thinking that will be a perfect room for a future kiddo. Don't get excited. Not that time quite yet...haha
So I began by sanding over the walls where the paint was flaking and where it appeared the residue (possible old wallpaper glue?) had broken through. That was the worst step.
Then I "cut in" with the black paint and an angled brush around all of the trim, crown moulding, and doors. I take back what I said before. THAT was actually the worst step... and by far the most time-consuming.
Then I rolled the paint between all of that on the walls. That went super quickly.
aaaand here she is!
The only thing I would eventually like to change is possibly the countertops. I'd like to change them to a light-colored granite. Just because the ones now are pretty scratched and can look a bit yellow against all of the white, but they're just fine for now!
I was also contemplating painting the bead board and trim above it black too, sort of like this photo. But so far, I'm diggin' the contrast.
Not the best photo (took all of these pretty late at night), but here's what it looks like coming in from the guest bedroom side.
paint: Behr Black Suede (satin formula)
sunburst mirror: Target
shower curtain: India Rose
rug: Ballard Designs
candleholder: Bath and Body Works
little mirror on vanity: Anthropologie
little gold tray on toilet: Target
bathmat (over tub): Target
crystal knobs: Anthropologie
Paint is a pretty crazy-big-difference update huh? All of the little decor items in the room aren't new. Literally the paint is the only update. I love what a difference it made!
So do you guys have any black rooms? What are your favorite black paint colors for walls?

Les Miles to LSU: Michigan and I are just friends
BATON ROUGE -- LSU football coach Les Miles issued the following statement on Tuesday regarding the conversation he had with Michigan last week:
"I had a conversation with Michigan last week that covered a wide range of topics. I was doing nothing more than helping them with their search for a football coach, just as any loyal alumnus might do. It was nothing more than that.
"I'm not a candidate for that job and I will not be a candidate for the job. I was only assisting them in their search for a coach. I have a great job at a wonderful place, a place that my family calls home. It's time that Michigan goes on with their search for a football coach. I'll say it again, I'm going to be the coach at LSU next season."
Oh brother. Is anybody buying this?
"I was doing nothing more than helping them with their search for a football coach, just as any loyal alumnus might do. It was nothing more than that."
Somebody doth protest too much (and hold way too many press conferences and issue way too many press statements for something he's not interested in).
Is it just me or is Les starting to sound like a guy who just got caught by his new girlfriend hanging out with his old girlfriend?
"What's the big deal, LSU? We were just talking. I swear. Michigan and I are just friends. That's it. She just needed some dating advice. She's going through a rough time right now. Remember I told you about that Greg guy who blew her off? What a dick. So I was just, you know, helping her find somebody else. Like any old boyfriend would do. As a friend. A platonic friend. And that's it. I swear. Just friends. Because I don't even like her anymore. I love you, LSU. Only you. Honest."
Gee, can't wait for his next press conference which should be in, oh, about five or six minutes.

I'm telling you, the longer we hear nothing coming out of Ann Arbor, the more viable he is as a candidate. If we get to the bowl game w/out an announced hire it's a done deal. Though I will not bet any farm animals coming out of my ass on that.

yeah, yeah, yeah. we're all hoping for that third option, but if it came down to one or the other???
seriously- brady hoke???

Why would Les want to get back with his old girlfirend when she's just a good, moral, upstanding girl. While she provides a steady (but not excessive amount) of action, she only likes it missionary style, not a super-freak like LSU who's willing to throw that funky stuff at you and "bang like a screen door in a hurricane" (HT BiB).

This whole coaching dispute is a disaster for MI. Everyone in the country knew that LLoyd was retiring they should have easily had a list of names to pick from. If it does end up being Les then more power to him since this restructured contract of his gives him an 800K bonus when he stomps tosu. I'll give even bigger props to MI if they played a hand in orchestrating that contract extension in the hopes that the then 800K will be put towards the 1.25 Mill they will have to dish out to take him from LSU. Just another scenario for you conspiracy nuts to munch on.

Super lame analogy. Maybe Less was getting info on Ohio. Maybe they were both apologizing for the crap that has been going on. Maybe they offered and Les told them no. Maybe he said we will talk after next football season. Maybe he said get rid of Carr. Maybe he was telling him how they do it at LSU and to get with the times.
- December 12, 2007 1:54 PM
- Feelin' Blue said...
First of all, that's a hilarious analogy.
Forget Les Miles. I keep saying that he's not that great, and he isn't, although he did turn around OkSU and beat highly ranked Oklahoma twice. That's impressive. But if Michigan gets him, then he ends up being a liar, and is that something that Michigan wants? It's not good for us, or for college football in general.
If we hire Brady Joke then that's a travesty. He has demonstrated little coaching acumen. Why hire him when you can just promote Ron English or Scott Loeffler?
All Chris Peterson has done is sustain a program for one year that is top dog in a weak conference. And he beat Oklahoma. I don't think that he would fit in so well in Ann Arbor. And he seems like a nice guy.
One guy I like is Craig Bohl, coach of North Dakota St. He's successfully guided them in their transition from D-II to FBS and, after losing to Minnesota last year by 1 point, came back and beat them. MN went to a bowl game last year. And while MN was terrible this year, there still is a vast disparity in talent between a program just coming out of D-II and a BCS program, albeit a crappy one. Craig Bohl is a coach that can beat the odds, and I hear that he is a "stickler" for academics, as a poster on mgoblog said. He could be our Tressel, but he has no connections to Michigan or Ohio, although he did work at Wisconsin as LB coach in the 80s. He's about 50 years old.
- December 12, 2007 1:58 PM
- Joshua said...
Is that a situational response or just a genral observation?
Feelin' Blue,
Not that great perhaps, but I won't believe it until I (don't)see it. The article about Skip Bertman telling us "it's over" yesterday sounded more like he was trying to convince himself than anyone else. Read it here, it's hilarious. In the the same paragraph he says it's not about money with Les, then points out LSU is willing to pay more than U of M.
Then in back to back sentences he says to leave Les alone, talk to his agent if we need to, but not him, then turns around and says anyone can talk to Les or his agent. It's like the new girlfriend explaining to her friends why the boyfriend is hanging out with his ex.
"Well, they weren't actually holding hands, hers were just cold and he was warming them up. And they weren't kissing- she has a condition where her tongue needs to be massaged and what was he supposed to do- massage it byu hand? That'd be weird."
Still won't believe it till i see someone else at the podium.
Love the suggestion of Bohl though- a little creative problem solving instead of whining is nice. And a new name to hunt info on- sweet!
I could live with it. He's never hidden the fact that he wants to be coach here, I don't think it'd take anyone by surprise. Watch it turn out that BM is an evil genius and sandbagging until the bowls are over. Sure we'll catch shit for taking him on, but everyone lives to bag on us anyway. Fuck 'em. fuck 'em all.
- December 12, 2007 2:41 PM
- zen wizard said...
That statement to the press is unequivocably the biggest crock of bullshit I have ever heard.
If he's working for LSU, he shouldn't really be helping the U. of M. FOOTBALL TEAM with ANYTHING, but especially recruiting.
So even if the statement were true, there is an inadvertent admission in it.
If he wants to help the school as an alumnus, his efforts should have been restricted to academics.
- December 12, 2007 3:46 PM
- tigre said...
doth protest too much?
Or maybe Miles has a national championship game to prepare for and doesn't need distractions emanating like a week-old walleye from a washed up program that can't accept their current second tier status.
I realize its cold up in AA but you'd be well advised to find someplace warm to melt away the delusion, accept reality and move on with your search. Thanks to fine supporters like yourself and the conspiracies you regurgitate, Michigan and its fans are quickly losing what little respect the program had left.
how the mighty have fallen indeed.

Second rate? Ha! You only wish you were second rate like us. Funny how you're trolling a blog dedicated to a 2nd rate program. He may be your coach now, but his heart's with us.
And if you're not worried, why aren't you trolling Ohio state sites in preparation for said NC game?
I just hope for your sake I'm wrong and he isn't coming. Playing for a NC and than losing a coach YET AGAIN could really give a guy a complex.
Second rate? Please.

is it me? or is everyone else beginning to wonder if bill martin hasn't caught the boom upside the head one too many times?
wake up, read espn, and damn! arkansas has a new coach! in two weeks time they've gone out & got petrino.
then as i read, i see bobby has been sniffing around college circles for some time (lots of college guys decide the nfl isn't for them). so i'm thinking "gee, why didn't he talk to us???". then i read, he tried, but we never showed any interest?
yeech. as far as i can tell, we talked to Shiano, brady hoke, ferentz, and les, but only sortof???
why wouldn't we talk to brian kelly? or petrino? or any of a half a dozen interesting names?
that people tell you "no" is a part of modern football. that you don't seem to talk to much anyone who wants you? you need help.
espn also has article on how tom osborne used a search firm to prescreen candidates. if a guy w/ his experience thinks it's a good idea to get some professional help, what was martin thinking?
but hey, coach hoke has a real ring to it. once you wash it down w/ a scotch or two.

As for the Brian Kelly thing, I don't see it happening. A good friend of mine who played at U of M and whose brother played for Kelly at Central is dead set against that hire. The word within the community is he's a good coach, but not one the players trust or want to play for. So those rumors of him rubbing people the wrong way? True. For him not to even get a sniff, there's something there.
Schools who've hired a coach while we're "searching"....Colorado State, Arkansas, Southern Miss, Washington St.,Georgia Tech (and thus Navy),A&M, Nebraska, Baylor... and that's off the top of my head.
Now I'm not saying I'd want any of the coaches they hired, but to not have a clear cut favorite, or only having formally interviewed Hoke and the coords? You can't convince me something wouldn't leak if they were talking to Tedford or Kelly or someone. I'm really hoping for the Evil Genius angle, the alternative is just too scary- and I can't afford that much scotch.
- December 12, 2007 6:45 PM
- Feelin' Blue said...
I've heard stuff like that about Brian Kelly, that he rubs people the wrong way. He seems like a bit of an asshole.
What absolutely outrages me is that we didn't try to hire Paul Johnson. He is one of the best hires of the year and he will really turn Ga Tech around.
But then again, maybe we need a defensive mind as coach. I like Jon Tenuta, but I don't know how he would do as HC. Then there's Ron English. He's not that bad. The team was not prepared in the beginning of the year, but it got much better. When you look at the D, not much needs changing, except for the fact that Mich needs to learn to cover the spread better, which it did, but not masterfully. Our secondary got much much better though. I think Vance Bedford helped, but he might be the defensive Mike Debord - hot for one year, but pure crap as past years show (see OkSU).
Anyways, my top choices:
Jim Grobe
Craig Bohl
Bobby Johnson (Vandy)
Urban Meyer? (seems to like Michigan lately, hates his AD.
Brady Joke over Ron English would be a travesty.
- December 12, 2007 7:08 PM
- Feelin' Blue said...
Another thing:
Urban Meyer to Michigan would add a real interesting twist to the rivalry. It would kind of be like John Cooper (his ASU beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl), but Urban Meyer is a great coach. But Ohio St hates him, as does Michigan though since he is a bit of an asshole.
It probably won't happen, but lately he has really warmed up to Michigan in the media, saying that UM could compete with the SEC and that it is one of the most prestigious positions in the country. Plus, he has Midwest roots and he and his AD don't get along.
Even though he would probably never come, I think that he's trying to kiss up to Michigan because in the back of his mind he wants to be considered. Sort of like flirting when you already have a girlfriend. It might also be that he is trying to be more classy after last year.

not talking to him was the only smart thing BM has done yet.

Why a milter archiver? If you are required to also log source and destination IPs and BCCs (additional rcpt to's not in a CC field communicated at the SMTP protocol level), then the only option is do this in the MTA, or in a milter application that has hooks in the MTA process (which is exactly why milter was invented). It uses a simple regex file that can be used with several *source target-mailbox rules to define what gets mirrored where. The archiver tries to be as quiet as possible. The possible methods to archive are SMTP, sendmail inject / Postfix inject, IMAP delivery, and milter-add recipient. It was build as a replacement for a Postfix BCC setup: (sender_bcc_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/archive; recipient_bcc_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/archive).
pgl4rbl implements a Postfix policy server that mixes two widely used techniques: greylisting and RBL (DNS blacklists). The idea is that greylisting is applied only to SMTP clients that match a RBL; this means that normal clients are not delayed (such as with a normal greylisting implementation), and RBL false positives do not cause problems (like when outright blocking them at the SMTP level).
Clement is an email server application. Its main function is to block unwanted mail (spam) as soon as possible in the email exchange process. It accepts or rejects email while the SMTP session, initiated by the email sender, is still pending, accepting legitimate email messages without the need to return an error status to non-existent or "borrowed" return address later. Clement can operate in two modes, either as a standard MTA (as sendmail, Postfix, Exim, Exchange, etc.) to store email in the recipient's own area, or to transmit the mail to an another SMTP server acting as smart spam filtering device. Each email domain name Clement knows about can be treated in one of these two modes depending on the group to which the domain name has been set. Each message is verified by a virus scanner (ClamAV) while the SMTP connection is still open, but the refusal of mail and the reason for refusal is notified to the actual sender. Mail management is done via a Web interface and can be delegated to three administrative levels (Root-Admin, Group-Admin, Domain-Admin). Standard users can access their own logs (sent email status, email rejected, quarantined email, etc.). With this interface, the user can handle the rejection and acceptance of mail. Users who are level "Admin" can access the session logs (via the Web interface). Clement uses a SQL database (PostgreSQL, MySQL) to store and manage logs, user profiles, and dynamic management of directives concerning the sender-receiver relationship.
vmm is an easy-to-use and configurable commandline tool for administrators and postmasters, used to manage domains, alias-domains, accounts, and relocated mail users. It allows fast and easy management of mail servers. It's designed for installations using Dovecot and Postfix with a PostgreSQL backend.

The rehabilitation began in May 2011, in conjunction with the rebuilding of the Culver Viaduct. The station reconstruction work included a new and expanded street-level control house, a new architectural metal panel escalator enclosure and rehabilitated stairs and platforms. The project also called for the installation of new lighting and public address and CCTV systems.
"This has been a long and complicated project, but we are grateful for the community's patience while we performed this necessary work. This station will be 80 years old this summer and this rehabilitation will see it reach that milestone with a much-improved appearance and functionality," said Thomas Prendergast, president and interim executive director of the MTA.
Construction on some finishes and elements that do not affect passenger functionality will be ongoing, but the station is being opened to better serve customers.

Combination Keyless Door Knob
Actually, who doesn't these days!
Well, take a look at this one. It's a keyless combination door knob lock with 4 built-in numeric dials. You lock and unlock this one by turning the numeric dials with your thumb.
This lock is perfect for interior doors in your home such as closets where you might want to hide birthday presents, lockers where you store guns or ammunition, laundry rooms where you keep harsh cleaning chemicals, even bedrooms and bathrooms where you just want better control over who can come in.
This keyless combination door knob lock has a great design and, since it doesn't have a key, it is pick-proof and bump-proof, too! It installs in minutes, operates easily, and the combination can be changed as often as you like, whenever you want.
And you don't have to drill any extra holes in your door—the screws that hold this lock together go through the mounting plate on the lock and through the large 2-1/8" hole, just like the door knobs on most interior doors.
Once you set the numeric dials to the right combination, this lock will stay unlocked, so you can come and go without using the code. But once you change the numeric dials to something other than your code and close your door, it will be locked securely.
Quality Design & Handy Features
- Adjustable Backset: This keyless combination door knob lock comes with an adjustable 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" spring latchbolt, so it fits all standard interior and exterior doors.
- Adjustable Handedness: This keyless combination door knob lock works on either right or left handed doors.
- Retrofit Design: This keyless combination door knob lock is designed to retrofit all standard doors and it will completely replace your existing door knob AND you don't have to drill any extra holes in your door.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: This keyless combination door knob lock is made of a heavy-duty zinc material with a silver finish.
- Numeric Dials: This keyless combination door knob lock has four (4) numeric dials, with numbers from 0-9 on each dial.
- Weatherproof: This keyless combination door knob lock is completely weatherproof and can also be used outside.
- No Wires/Batteries/Power: As with all our keyless locks, this keyless combination door knob lock is all mechanical and requires no keys, wires, or batteries to operate so it will function perfectly even in a power outage.
- Warranty: Full 2-Year Manufacturer's Warrranty covers everything short of physical abuse.
Advantages of a Keyless Lock
- Never again worry about your keys being lost, stolen or copied.
- You don't need a key to lock or unlock.
- You don't need AC power, wires, or batteries.
- You won't be locked out during power failures.
- And best of all, this lock is so economical, you can use on interior doors throughout your home.
Installation for these locks are the exact same as a regular door knob. There is no need for any additional drilling. Click to view the Installation Insructions that come with each purchase.
Locking and Unlocking
Using all our keyless locks is quick and easy. This particular lock has 4 spin wheels built right into the outside door knob. You can operate these with your thumb or finger to unlock the door.
- To unlock from the outside, simply spin the wheels so that the numbers in your secret code are showing at the top of the door knob, then turn the knob handle to open the door.
- On the inside, just turn the knob handle as you would with any other door knob.
- It couldn't be easier!
Since this keyless combination door knob lock has a spring latchbolt, it will automatically latch every time you close your door. And, it will automatically lock any time the wrong combination is set on the spin wheels.
This keyless combination door knob lock is:
- easy to install
- easy to reset
- tamper-proof
- 2-year Manufacturer's Warranty that covers everything other than physical abuse
- and, best of all, is economically priced!
Finally, a keyless lock you can afford to use everywhere—inside your home, as well as on secondary entrance doors, janitor closets, garage, fenced in areas, apartments, condos, laundry rooms, and re-key situations.

The plan calls for the realignment of 3.8 miles of the North Carolina Railroad/Norfolk Southern tracks from north of I-40 to McCrimmon Parkway. That part of the project will include construction of a railroad bridge over Hopson Road. It will be built to accommodate the future widening of the road.
The project also calls for the closure of the railroad crossing of Church Street and the adjacent intersection of Church Street and N.C. 54 (Miami Boulevard).
The existing railroad crossing for Hopson Road has a poor line of sight for vehicles, as does the crossing for Church Street. Eliminating the crossings takes away the potential for crashes at those sites. In addition, realigning the railroad tracks means trains are able to maintain a higher rate of speed, reducing travel time and improving reliability.
Work on the project can get under way as early as Dec. 31 and is expected wrap up by Aug. 31, 2014.

Technology is supposed to make us easier to reach, and often does. But the same modes of communication that have hooked us on the instant reply also can leave us feeling forgotten.
We send an email, a text or an instant chat message. We wait � and nothing happens. Or we make a phone call. Leave a voicemail message. Wait. Again, nothing.
We tend to assume it�s a snub, and sometimes it is.
Erica Swallow, a 26-year-old New Yorker, says she�s heard a former boyfriend brag about how many text messages he never reads. �Who does that?� she asks, exasperatedly.
These days, though, no response can mean a lot of things. Maybe some people don�t see messages because they prefer email and you like Twitter. Maybe we�re just plain overwhelmed, and can�t keep up with the constant barrage of communication.
Whatever the reason, it�s causing a lot of frustration. A recent survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 39 percent of cell phone owners say people they know complain because they don�t respond promptly to phone calls or text messages. A third of cell owners also have been told they don�t check their phones frequently enough.
It happens in love. It happens in business.
�Tell me to go to hell, but just tell me something! I�m getting lonely over here.� That�s what Cherie Kerr, a public relations executive in Santa Ana, Calif., jokes she�s considered putting after her email signature.
It happens in families.
Last year, Terri Barr, a woman on Long Island, N.Y., with grown children, sent her son a birthday present � a $350 gift certificate for �a wonderful kayaking trip for six, lunch, wine, equipment,� she says.
She sent him an email with the details, but he didn�t respond. She says she then telephoned and texted him to tell him it was a present. He eventually sent a one-line email, she says, telling her he was too swamped to open her email gift right then.
Instant communication �can be wonderful � but also terrible,� says Barr, who shared the story more as a lament of modern communication than a reprimand of her son, whose busy work life, she acknowledged, often takes him overseas.
So this year, she sent him a birthday gift by snail-mail in a box. �He actually opened it,� she says, and they�ve been talking more frequently since then.
Many other people, though, sit waiting for responses that never come.
�That�s where the frustration lies � it�s in the ambiguity,� says Susannah Stern, a professor of communication studies at San Diego State University.
Though we often assume the worst, experts say we shouldn�t.
Frequently, they say, people simply � and unknowingly � choose the wrong way to contact someone.
�I admit to having often been lax with checking my work number voicemail, which has led to me not responding to people waiting for my reply,� says Janet Sternberg, an assistant professor of communication and media studies at Fordham University.
She�s also had technical glitches. For instance: thinking she�d sent a text message to someone overseas and then, when he didn�t respond, realizing she had his international number programmed incorrectly in her phone.
�The sheer management of all these devices and channels is exhausting and sometimes daunting, leaving less and less time for actual communication,� Sternberg says. �We connect more but communicate less, in many ways.�
That�s why many people say they have no choice but to prioritize � and to respond only to the most urgent messages.
That describes Mahrinah von Schlegel, who�s working to launch a Chicago-based �incubator� that will offer shared office space and other resources for fledgling tech entrepreneurs.
�People get angry when not answered and send multiple messages,� says von Schlegel, the 30-year-old managing director of the firm, known as Cibola. She says missed communication has caused her to lose some business deals. Often, it�s when people try to contact her by Facebook or direct message on Twitter and she doesn�t see the messages for days. Email, she says, is her preferred mode of communication.
But even then, she says, there are only so many hours in the day: �I still need time to eat and sleep and shower.�
As she sees it, getting no response � even when she�s the one unsuccessfully trying to contact someone � is just part of life in a high-tech world. A lot of young people say that, so they�ve become accustomed to having to try again, or try a different mode of communication if something is truly urgent.
�I think there�s this understanding because we�ve grown up being bombarded by communication,� says Mike Gnitecki, a 28-year-old special education teacher in Longview, Texas.
So he�s willing to try �multiple points of contact� when trying to reach his students� parents � because, if he wants a response, �that�s just how it is.�
David Gillman, a 25-year-old Chicagoan, also opts for brevity and efficiency by sending mass texts to several friends at once to save time.
He only expects those who have time or inclination to respond, and doesn�t take it personally if they don�t.
It gets trickier, he says, with people from older generations, including his parents, because they like to leave him voicemails, which he doesn�t like to take time to check.
�I need to get better about that,� he concedes.
Those types of missed communications � and a lack of response � can cause �turbulence� in a relationship, says Dan Faltesek, an assistant professor of social media at Oregon State University. But, he adds, that�s not necessarily a bad thing.
�It can be a little awkward, but you should talk to people about how you like to talk,� Faltesek says. �Everyone will be happier when they say what the rules are.�
And it�ll go even more smoothly, he says, when people are willing to step outside their own favorite mode of communication to those preferred by the person they�re contacting.
�Use the reverse golden rule,� Faltesek advises. �Treat others the way THEY like to be treated.�
An example: Gnitecki, the teacher in Texas, is considering sending a survey home to ask parents how they�d like to be contacted.
Tech and communication experts agree that choosing a primary means of communication, and letting it be known, is one way to improve communication.
Rebecca Otis, content and social media manager at Digital Third Coast, an Internet marketing firm in Chicago, also recommends getting rid of email and social media accounts you don�t check regularly. And text messaging, she says, should be reserved for communication that requires a more urgent reply.
Finding ways to prioritize, and receive, the most important messages also helps.
San Francisco-based AwayFind Inc. is among companies that have developed applications that help filter email � in this instance, alerting users to important emails on their mobile devices.
In the end, we can�t possibly respond to everything, says Jared Goralnick, the company�s founder and CEO, who�s also part of a nonprofit group called the Information Overload Research Group, which looks for ways to deal with out-of-control communication.
As he sees it, it�s good to be responsive, �but not to set an expectation that you�ll be available for everything.�
�That�s just not sustainable,� he says.
In other words, if we�re going to keep our sanity, we�ll sometimes have to accept the no response.

Service will be suspended for four consecutive weeknights until early morning, May 10. The N trains will be rerouted via the D line in both directions between 36th Street and Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue.
FASTRACK was introduced in January 2012, devoting four straight weeknights to perform maintenance work in tunnels, stations and on tracks, completely suspending service within a given line segment for a seven-hour period between. This gives free access to the system, allowing an army of maintenance workers to perform dozens of tasks without the concern of having to "clear up" to allow trains to pass.
The next FASTRACK weekend closure will be between Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue (D and N) and Bay Parkway (D) and 86th Street (N). The next FASTRACK weekday overnight closure will be on the Upper East Side in Manhattan on the 4, 5 and 6 from May 20-24.

The Hardee County Industrial Development Authority allocated $2 million in grants to BioNitrogen's Florida Plant subsidiary for reimbursable expenses incurred during the construction of the Hardee County plant to cover expenses related to the rail spur, construction and engineering of the initial plant. BioNitrogen will also be working with local Florida-based companies that will be involved in the design and construction of the rail spur, including Mulberry-based C.J. Bridges Rail Road Contractors.
The railroad spur will link the plant site with CSX mainline, facilitating the transport of biomass to the plant and urea to BioNitrogen customers through its offtake agreement with United Suppliers, Inc.
"The rail spur is a critical piece of infrastructure and we're pleased to finalize the design and begin construction," said Bryan Kornegay, Jr., president and CFO of BioNitrogen.
