The Postal Service faced its own fiscal cliff in 2012 while the larger mailing industry continued to press for reform and innovation. But don't count mail out just yet. A strong election season reminded many Americans that mail still matters, even in the digital age. And in Europe, one postal operator didn't let 500 years of history stand in the way of reinventing itself. Looking over the headlines, the staff at the Office of Inspector General has pulled together the list below of the top 10 postal stories for 2012. After you read them, vote for your top story of the year, or let us know if we missed one. 10. Pitfalls of Sponsorship – The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency strips cycling legend Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles after accusing him of illegal doping while on the U.S. Postal Service team. 9. Sound as a Pound – Royal Mail positions itself for privatization after ending price controls, shifting its pension liability to the government, and earning a profit. 8. Regulatory Fireworks – The Postal Regulatory Commission approves a controversial and newspaper industry-opposed negotiated service agreement with Valassis and remands a portion of the Postal Service's annual price increase, saying it ignored previous Commission orders. 7. A Vote for Election Mail – Direct mail still matters in politics. Election mail postage surged over $400 million as parties and politicians used mail to target their messages in contentious national and local elections. 6. Default This Year; Reform Next Year – The Postal Service defaults on two prefunding payments totaling $11.1 billion to the Retiree Health Benefits Fund. Lawmakers ready for a postal reform bill in the new Congress. 5. Terminator 2012: Rise of the Tablets, (Further) Decline of Print – Coincidence or not? Venerable publications, such as Newsweek and the Times Picayune newspaper, abandon or reduce their print editions, while the number of tablet owners doubled in the past year and reached 19 percent of adults. 4. Shrink to Fit – The Postal Service's 5-year business plan calls for cutting costs by $20 billion through workforce reduction, consolidation of facilities, and elimination of Saturday delivery. In initial action, the Postal Service compromised and reduced hours at rural post offices rather than closing them and pushed back its plan to eliminate overnight delivery of First-Class Mail. 3. Postcards from the Edge – The Postal Service reaches its statutory borrowing limit of $15 billion for the first time ever and warned that it could run out of cash by October 2013, barring any significant action. 2. Brand Damage – Steady stream of bad news keeps the Postal Service in the news and threatens to hurt its brand, which could prove especially harmful as it reinvents its business model for the digital age. 1. Parcels are the New Letters – Same-day delivery trials by eBay and the Postal Service, the growth in parcel lockers, and the efforts of traditional brick-and-mortar powerhouse Wal-Mart to increase its online presence indicate a very bright future for packages.

The U.S. Postal Service delivery workforce consists of city and rural letter carriers, who perform similar duties, but have differences in compensation and work rules. City letter carriers typically work routes that are high density and low mileage. These routes are classified as either "mounted" routes (for those that require a vehicle) or "walking" routes (for those that are done on foot). City letter carriers are also given a $371 per year uniform allowance. Rural letter carriers typically work routes that have a lower density of delivery points and higher mileage than those of city letter carriers. They work mounted routes, leaving their vehicles only to deliver to grouped mailboxes or to deliver an item that must be taken to a customer's door. However, rural routes have expanded to suburbs and exurbs, which are more densely populated and urbanized. These routes are similar to mounted "city" routes. Because suburban areas in the country continue to flourish, the rural carrier craft is the only craft in the Postal Service still growing. Postal Service policy states that rural carriers must present a neat, clean, and professional appearance reflecting a positive postal image, but does not require rural carriers to wear uniforms like their city counterparts. The 114,000 rural carriers and non-career rural carrier associates serve as a post office on wheels. They perform many of the services that a customer could receive at a retail counter. They sell stamps and money orders; provide Priority Mail flat rate boxes; accept Express and Priority mail; offer signature and delivery confirmation; and collect mail and parcels. Rural carriers provide their own vehicles to deliver mail on nearly half of the more than 73,000 rural routes. Now that the rural carrier craft is becoming more "urbanized," they are more visible to the public. Also, the past few years has seen an increase in the number of rural carriers delivering mail in Postal Service vehicles with the logo on the side. Do you think a uniformed shirt for rural carriers would be an overall positive change for the Postal Service as far as image, branding, marketing, and security? Would a uniformed shirt for rural carriers give employees a larger sense of unity and ownership to the mission of the Postal Service? Or is the idea of a uniform old-fashioned?

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Hey all,
I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio and have been disc golfing with my buddies for about two years now. We play at one course regularly, Mt. Airy Forest, and are looking for some new land to explore over the upcoming summer.
If you have any suggestions on courses in Ohio or around the area feel free to share them. Nifty information that makes the course special is always welcome.
Thanks much
Views: 70
Man, you are in a great spot to play DG. You have two other awesome courses right next door in Lincoln Ridge and Idlewild. An hours drive gets you to the Dayton courses: Belmont, Arthur O. Fischer, Sycamore Trails, Fairborn, etc. North East to Pike Lake, Great Seal State Park and Paint Creek (try to get hold of Side Arm Don, he's a cool guy and he set up the course). Two sites to hit up: pdga.com/course_directory or dgcoursereview.com and look through your area on the map. If you make it up to Columbus and need someone to throw with feel free to drop me a line.
I have heard great things about Idlewild online. I will make sure to get on those websites for sure, too.I actually live in Newark, Ohio (going to college there) right now and will be transferring to OSU next year.
That link shows all 30 courses in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Ky area.
And since you play Mt Airy often, Fred Salaz runs the pro shop there and would be glad to help you. He's also the course designer for Idlewild.
Great Blue Heron (Norwalk), Thompson (East Liverpool), Deis Hill (Dover), Lakeshore (Ashtabula)
Thanks for the link. I had no idea there were that many courses around.
Just across the border Idlewild is world class and the park formerly known as Banklick is really good. Now it is called Lincoln Hills or Lincoln Something.
If you go to pdga.com there is a really good course directory. You just put in your zip code and it pulls up all the courses in order of distance.

Gold Hill, Ore. -- Brie Malarkey, co-owner of Breeze Botanicals in Gold Hill is planning to sell local farm-made products at her store located at 315 Second Avenue in the Gold Dust Center. Her products range from lip balm, to medicinal herbs to basil wine jelly. However, she said she wants to also dispense medical marijuana.
"We're going to incorporate lots of different medicinal herbs, including but not limited to cannabis," she said.
Malarkey said she already grows medical marijuana for her husband, mother and a few other patients.
According to Malarkey, who has been running a family farm with her husband for the last 3.5 years, the Oregon Health Authority has already issued her a provisional license to open up a medical marijuana dispensary. Now she's waiting on the city of Gold Hill to a make a decision.
"I respect the process that the city council is going through," said Malarkey.
She hopes the city council will reverse a temporary ban they voted-in last month.
However, not everyone is so convinced that having a medical marijuana dispensary in town is a good idea.
"We have meth problems," said June Podesta, a Gold Hill area resident.
"In our little town here in Gold Hill we already have a multitude of problems and I just think it would multiply the problems here," she continued.
Malarkey responded to the concerns, saying that it's up to police and public policy makers to curb meth use and drug abuse in the community.
"This is a place for people who have taken the time to get their medical marijuana card. They've taken the time to go to their doctor. This place is for the truly ill or for people who can't find medical marijuana or don't know where to go," she said.
Other people said they wouldn't mind.
"I think people should have the right to take anything they want really," began Gold Hill resident Sherman Kiger.
"I don't really mind so long as they stay indoors," he continued.
For now, the plan is for Breeze Botanicals' doors to open on May 15th, without medical marijuana.
Malarkey said at this point she's looking for products from local farmers to fill her store.
"I really want this to be a farm store really promoting local products as much as possible," Malarkey said.
She said it has taken all the money from her savings account to open up shop. Now, she is crossing her fingers, hoping the city gives her the green light to open up what she says will be the only dispensary in Gold Hill.
"Gold Hill is a very dense community and you've got your residential zones, a big public school zone and then where I'm located and that's why there can be only one place," said Malarkey.
She said she expects the city council to regulate things like her operating hours and policies regarding background checks for her employees.
The issue will be taken up at Monday's city council meeting at Gold Hill's City Hall at 6pm. A second hearing on the issue is expected on May 19th.

Revision as of 15:53, 29 January 2012
Nginx works perfectly well with a wide variety of applications, and WordPress is certainly one of them. NginX's configuration language is very powerful and straightforward if one is familiar with it, but often people coming from other servers are not sure how things work in NginX and just copy and paste whatever they see from a blog that seems to fill their needs. Everyone, especially people new to NginX, should check out the nginx.org documentation for an overview of how things work and should be done in NginX.
Abridged basic setup
Hopefully you have read the documentation above and maybe worked on setting up a virtual server or two in Nginx already - if not there are a few notes below, but you should still read the documentation.
First we setup a named upstream for our php, which allows us to abstract the backend and easily change the port or add more backends. After that, we setup our virtual host configuration for domain.tld.
# Upstream to abstract backend connection(s) for php upstream php { server unix:/tmp/php-cgi.socket; server 127.0.0.1:9000; } server { ## Your website name goes here. server_name domain.tld; ## Your only path reference. root /var/www/wordpress; ## This should be in your http block and if it is, it's not needed here. index index.php; location = /favicon.ico { log_not_found off; access_log off; } location = /robots.txt { allow all; log_not_found off; access_log off; } location / { # This is cool because no php is touched for static content try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php; } location ~ \.php$ { #NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini include fastcgi.conf; fastcgi_intercept_errors on; fastcgi_pass php; } location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ { expires max; log_not_found off; } }
With this configuration we should be able to serve wordpress very easily. Once you setup your backend (php-cgi or php-fpm) should work perfectly.
Location Strategies
There are many ways to declare your locations in your configuration that allow you to do basically whatever you want with your URLs. Usually, people want to have "pretty" URLs that hide the query strings and script files. Here are a few different strategies based on different goals. Here we are defining locations that should be used to replace the basic locations above in order to achieve the desired results.
Non-root try_files to URL redirect
If you want to serve WordPress as a sub directory, you will want to make the following changes (relative to the above configuration).
location /wordpress { try_files $uri $uri/ /wordpress/index.php; } location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/wordpress)(/.*)$; }
Pre-0.8.30 fastcgi settings
If you are using a version below 0.8.30, you will want to add this to your fastcgi_params file.
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
Rewrite rules for Multisite
Wordpress Multisite require permalinks and redirection to existing PHP files, thus we have to remove the blog name from the URLs.
location / { error_page 404 = @wp; location ~* \.(php|inc)$ { # Forbid PHP on upload dirs if ($uri ~ "uploads") { return 403; } fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_intercept_errors on; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass php; } } # Rewrite rules. Blog name must be removed. location @wp { # Redirect to files rewrite ^(/[^/]+/)?files/(.+) /wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 last; # Match only one section rewrite ^(/[^/]+)?(/wp-.*) $2 last; rewrite ^(/[^/]+)?(/.*\.php) $2 last; # Send everything else to index.php (permalinks) rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last; }

All over America, people are gearing up for the shopping and gifting frenzy that goes hand in hand with the holiday season. You've heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but what about Giving Tuesday?

Just post your unwanted stuff to the ASPCA's Web Thrift Store, where others can bid on and purchase your items. You set the price and get a tax write-off for 100% of your item's value; the ASPCA gets 80% of the sale's proceeds; and some lucky buyer gets a great bargain. It's a win-win-win!

Text of Press Release for Microbial Products of Biotechnology: Biotechnology Final Rule (March 27, 1997)
Headquarters Press Release
Washington, DC
Date: 03/27/97
Published: 03/27/97
Title: PR NEW NOTIFICATION AND SCREENING REQ. FOR BIOTECH PRODUCTS
EPA Issues New Notification and Screening Requirements for Biotech Products
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is issuing new regulations that establish a streamlined process for the screening of certain microbial biotechnology products to ensure that they are safely developed for commercial use in a broad range of industrial and environmental applications. The new regulations are being issued under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
"Today's action achieves the Clinton Administration's objective to protect human health and the environment, while providing flexibility for the development of our nation's emerging biotechnology industry," said EPA Administrator Carol M. Browner. "Our goal is to help the nation safely realize the widespread benefits of biotechnology in a number of markets, from pollution prevention to environmental cleanup."
The regulations cover those microbial biotechnology products developed for industrial applications subject to EPA oversight under TSCA. Other federal authorities regulate the development and introduction of biological pesticides, drugs and food additives.
Under these regulations, companies that manufacture or researchers who develop microbial biotechnology products are required to notify and obtain EPA review prior to the use of their products in commerce or testing in the environment. Specifically the new regulations:
- Tailor pre-existing screening requirements for new chemicals and establish a distinct program for microbial biotechnology products under section 5 of TSCA. EPA has been reviewing microbial biotechnology products for 10 years under the authority of a policy statement issued in 1986 and under TSCA regulations originally written for new chemicals. Today's action supersedes these pre-existing policies and regulations.
- Continue to focus the Agency's regulatory attention on microorganisms that are likely to display new traits or to exhibit less predictable behavior in the environment.
- Provide full or partial exemptions from the notification and screening requirements for certain categories of new microorganisms introduced for commercial use or testing in the environment and for which EPA has acquired substantial assessment experience. A process for seeking additional exemptions also is provided.
The final rule is expected to be published in the Federal Register April 11. The text of the final rule and certain support documents also will be made available electronically upon the date of publication in the Federal Register. These documents may be accessed through the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxic's Biotechnology Program homepage.

Don't get me wrong, I love forums of course (especially this one ), but I've started to wonder about a few of the ones I frequent. Do user forums sometimes stop software from improving?
What I am talking about is when you see multiple new users post similar requests or issues they are having, which usually break down to some feature not being intuitive in the user interface, or some process taking too many steps, when it could be done more efficiently by making a few changes.
What usually happens next is one of the power users on the forum posts a workaround for the issue, or even just a link to some of the previous similar posts the user could have searches for.
I am sure you know the type .. post count in the thousands, signature is longer than his response, usually in some "Power User" group on the forum making him feel almost like a representative of the company, zealous about beating down any criticism.
The problem is that a workaround is just that .. a way around the actual problem, not solving it. And my fear is that sometimes having these user forums where power users propagate the workarounds they found and use to new users will stop the software developers from realizing maybe there is something that should be changed here.
They may monitor the forums and read the posts, but they may also get a "problem solved" kind of feeling when they see a power user posting a workaround.
What do you think?

Friday, January 16, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 16, 2004) - East Tennessee State senior football players Brandon Calton (Pennington Gap, Va.) and Tony Tiller (Lithonia, Ga.) will participate in Saturday afternoon's Las Vegas All-American Classic from Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev.
