Can't Post
Following script do work fine. Can anyone please add option to discard / reject / deliver spam to mailbox into this script. Currently it mark message subject as spam i.e. [SPAM]
Please help.

# =item DESCRIPTION
# This server simply gathers the SMTP acquired information (envelope
# sender and recipient, and data) into unparsed memory buffers (or a
# file for the data), and returns control to the caller to explicitly
# acknowlege each command or request. Since acknowlegement or failure
# are driven explicitly from the caller, this module can be used to
# create a robust SMTP content scanning proxy, transparent or not as
# desired.
# =cut

# =item new(interface => $interface, port => $port);
# The #interface and port to listen on must be specified. The interface
# must be a valid numeric IP address (0.0.0.0 to listen on all
# interfaces, as usual); the port must be numeric. If this call
# succeeds, it returns a server structure with an open
# IO::Socket::INET in it, ready to listen on. If it fails it dies, so
# if you want anything other than an exit with an explanatory error
# message, wrap the constructor call in an eval block and pull the
# error out of $@ as usual. This is also the case for all other
# methods; they succeed or they die.

# =item chat;
# The chat method carries the SMTP dialogue up to the point where any
# acknowlegement must be made. If chat returns true, then its return
# value is the previous SMTP command. If the return value begins with
# 'mail' (case insensitive), then the attribute 'from' has been filled
# in, and may be checked; if the return value begins with 'rcpt' then
# both from and to have been been filled in with scalars, and should
# be checked, then either 'ok' or 'fail' should be called to accept
# or reject the given sender/recipient pair. If the return value is
# 'data', then the attributes from and to are populated; in this case,
# the 'to' attribute is a reference to an anonymous array containing
# all the recipients for this data. If the return value is '.', then
# the 'data' attribute (which may be pre-populated in the "new" or
# "accept" methods if desired) is a reference to a filehandle; if it's
# created automatically by this module it will point to an unlinked
# tmp file in /tmp. If chat returns false, the SMTP dialogue has been
# completed and the socket closed; this server is ready to exit or to
# accept again, as appropriate for the server style.
# The return value from chat is also remembered inside the server
# structure in the "state" attribute.

# =head1 DESCRIPTION
# MSDW::SMTP::Client provides a very lean SMTP client implementation;
# the only protocol-specific knowlege it has is the structure of SMTP
# multiline responses. All specifics lie in the hands of the calling
# program; this makes it appropriate for a semi-transparent SMTP
# proxy, passing commands between a talker and a listener.

# The interface and port to talk to must be specified. The interface
# must be a valid numeric IP address; the port must be numeric. If
# this call succeeds, it returns a client structure with an open
# IO::Socket::INET in it, ready to talk to. If it fails it dies,
# so if you want anything other than an exit with an explanatory
# error message, wrap the constructor call in an eval block and pull
# the error out of $@ as usual. This is also the case for all other

# yammer takes a filehandle (which should be positioned at the

# written it) and sends its contents as the contents of DATA. This
# should only be invoked after a $client->say("data") and a
# $client->hear to collect the reply to the data command. It will send
# the trailing "." as well. It will perform leading-dot-doubling in
# accordance with the SMTP protocol spec, where "leading dot" is
# defined in terms of CR-LF terminated lines --- i.e. the data should
# contain CR-LF data without the leading-dot-quoting. The filehandle
# will be left at EOF.

=head1 NAME
SpamPD - Spam Proxy Daemon (version 2.2)
=head1 Synopsis
B<spampd> B<--help>
=head1 Description
I<spampd> is an SMTP/LMTP proxy that marks (or tags) spam using
SpamAssassin (http://www.SpamAssassin.org/). The proxy is designed
to be transparent to the sending and receiving mail servers and at no point
takes responsibility for the message itself. If a failure occurs within
I<spampd> (or SpamAssassin) then the mail servers will disconnect and the
sending server is still responsible for retrying the message for as long
as it is configured to do so.
I<spampd> uses SpamAssassin to modify (tag) relayed messages based on
their spam score, so all SA settings apply. This is described in the SA
documentation. I<spampd> will by default only tell SA to tag a
message if it exceeds the spam threshold score, however you can have
it rewrite all messages passing through by adding the --tagall option
(see SA for how non-spam messages are tagged).
I<spampd> logs all aspects of its operation to syslog(8), using the
mail syslog facility.
The latest version can be found at
=head1 Requires
=over 5
Perl modules:
=item B<Mail::SpamAssassin>
=item B<Net::Server::PreForkSimple>
=item B<IO::File>
=item B<IO::Socket>
=item B<Time::HiRes> (not actually required but recommended)
=head1 Operation
I<spampd> is meant to operate as an S/LMTP mail proxy which passes
each message through SpamAssassin for analysis. Note that I<spampd>
does not do anything other than check for spam, so it is not suitable as
an anti-relay system. It is meant to work in conjunction with your
regular mail system. Typically one would pipe any messages they wanted
scanned through I<spampd> after initial acceptance by your MX host.
This is especially useful for using Postfix's (http://www.postfix.org)
advanced content filtering mechanism, although certainly not limited to
that application.
Please re-read the second sentence in the above paragraph. You should NOT
enable I<spampd> to listen on a public interface (IP address) unless you
know exactly what you're doing! It is very easy to set up an open relay this
Here are some simple examples (square brackets in the "diagrams" indicate
physical machines):
B<Running between firewall/gateway and internal mail server>
=over 3
The firewall/gateway MTA would be configured to forward all of its mail
to the port that I<spampd> listens on, and I<spampd> would relay its
messages to port 25 of your internal server. I<spampd> could either
run on its own host (and listen on any port) or it could run on either
mail server (and listen on any port except port 25).
Internet -> [ MX gateway (@inter.net.host:25) ->
spampd (@localhost:2025) ] ->
Internal mail (@private.host.ip:25)
B<Using Postfix advanced content filtering>
=over 3
Please see the F<FILTER_README> that came with the Postfix distribution. You
need to have a version of Postfix which supports this (ideally v.2 and up).
Internet -> [ Postfix (@inter.net.host:25) ->
spampd (@localhost:10025) ->
Postfix (@localhost:10026) ] -> final delivery
Note that these examples only show incoming mail delivery. Since it is
usually unnecessary to scan mail coming from your network (right?),
it may be desirable to set up a separate outbound route which bypasses
=head1 Upgrading
If upgrading from a version prior to 2.2, please note that the --add-sc-header
option is no longer supported. Use SAs built-in header manipulation features
instead (as of SA v2.6).
Upgrading from version 1 simply involves replacing the F<spampd> program file
with the latest one. Note that the I<dead-letters> folder is no longer being
used and the --dead-letters option is no longer needed (though no errors are
thrown if it's present). Check the L<"Options"> list below for a full list of new
and deprecated options. Also be sure to check out the change log.
=head1 Installation
I<spampd> can be run directly from the command prompt if desired. This is
useful for testing purposes, but for long term use you probably want to put
it somewhere like /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin and execute it at system startup.
For example on Red Hat-style Linux system one can use a script in
/etc/rc.d/init.d to start I<spampd> (a sample script is available on the
I<spampd> Web page @ http://www.WorldDesign.com/index.cfm/rd/mta/spampd.htm).
The options all have reasonable defaults, especially for a Postfix-centric
installation. You may want to specify the --children option if you have an
especially beefy or weak server box because I<spampd> is a memory-hungry
program. Check the L<"Options"> for details on this and all other parameters.
Note that I<spampd> B<replaces> I<spamd> from the I<SpamAssassin> distribution
in function. You do not need to run I<spamd> in order for I<spampd> to work.
This has apparently been the source of some confusion, so now you know.
=head2 Postfix-specific Notes
Here is a typical setup for Postfix "advanced" content filtering as described
in the F<FILTER_README> that came with the Postfix distribution (which you
really need to read):
smtp inet n - y - - smtpd
-o content_filter=smtp:localhost:10025
-o myhostname=mx.example.com
localhost:10026 inet n - n - 10 smtpd
-o content_filter=
-o myhostname=mx-int.example.com
The first entry is the main public-facing MTA which uses localhost:10025
as the content filter for all mail. The second entry receives mail from
the content filter and does final delivery. Both smtpd instances use
the same Postfix F<main.cf> file. I<spampd> is the process that listens on
localhost:10025 and then connects to the Postfix listener on localhost:10026.
Note that the C<myhostname> options must be different between the two instances,
otherwise Postfix will think it's talking to itself and abort sending.
For the above example you can simply start I<spampd> like this:
spampd --host=localhost:10025 --relayhost=localhost:10026
F<FILTER_README> from the Postfix distro has more details and examples of
various setups, including how to skip the content filter for outbound mail.
Another tip for Postfix when considering what timeout values to use for
--childtimout and --satimeout options is the following command:
C<# postconf | grep timeout>
This will return a list of useful timeout settings and their values. For
explanations see the relevant C<man> page (smtp, smtpd, lmtp). By default
I<spampd> is set up for the default Postfix timeout values.
=head1 Options
=over 5
=item B<--host=ip[:port] or hostname[:port]>
Specifies what hostname/IP and port I<spampd> listens on. By default, it listens
on 127.0.0.1 (localhost) on port 10025.
B<Important!> You should NOT enable I<spampd> to listen on a
public interface (IP address) unless you know exactly what you're doing!
=item B<--port=n>
Specifies what port I<spampd> listens on. By default, it listens on
port 10025. This is an alternate to using the above --host=ip:port notation.
=item B<--relayhost=ip[:port] or hostname[:port]>
Specifies the hostname/IP where I<spampd> will relay all
messages. Defaults to 127.0.0.1 (localhost). If the port is not provided, that
defaults to 25.
=item B<--relayport=n>
Specifies what port I<spampd> will relay to. Default is 25. This is an
alternate to using the above --relayhost=ip:port notation.
=item B<--user=username> or B<--u=username>
=item B<--group=groupname> or B<--g=groupname>
Specifies the user and group that the proxy will run as. Default is
=item B<--children=n> or B<--c=n>
Number of child servers to start and maintain (where n > 0). Each child will
process up to --maxrequests (below) before exiting and being replaced by
another child. Keep this number low on systems w/out a lot of memory.
Default is 5 (which seems OK on a 512MB lightly loaded system). Note that
there is always a parent process running, so if you specify 5 children you
will actually have 6 I<spampd> processes running.
You may want to set your origination mail server to limit the
number of concurrent connections to I<spampd> to match this setting (for
Postfix this is the C<xxxx_destination_concurrency_limit> setting where
'xxxx' is the transport being used, usually 'smtp', and the default is 100).
=item B<--maxrequests=n>
I<spampd> works by forking child servers to handle each message. The
B<maxrequests> parameter specifies how many requests will be handled
before the child exits. Since a child never gives back memory, a large
message can cause it to become quite bloated; the only way to reclaim
the memory is for the child to exit. The default is 20.
=item B<--childtimeout=n>
This is the number of seconds to allow each child server before it times out
a transaction. In an S/LMTP transaction the timer is reset for every command.
This timeout includes time it would take to send the message data, so it should
not be too short. Note that it's more likely the origination or destination
mail servers will timeout first, which is fine. This is just a "sane" failsafe.
Default is 360 seconds (6 minutes).
=item B<--satimeout=n>
This is the number of seconds to allow for processing a message with
SpamAssassin (including feeding it the message, analyzing it, and adding
the headers/report if necessary).
This should be less than your origination and destination servers' timeout
settings for the DATA command. For Postfix the default is 300 seconds in both
cases (smtp_data_done_timeout and smtpd_timeout). In the event of timeout
while processing the message, the problem is logged and the message is passed
on anyway (w/out spam tagging, obviously). To fail the message with a temp
450 error, see the --dose (die-on-sa-errors) option, below.
Default is 285 seconds.
=item B<--pid=filename> or B<--p=filename>
Specifies a filename where I<spampd> will write its process ID so
that it is easy to kill it later. The directory that will contain this
file must be writable by the I<spampd> user. The default is
=item B<--logsock=unix or inet> C<(new in v2.20)>
Syslog socket to use. May be either "unix" of "inet". Default is "unix"
except on HP-UX and SunOS (Solaris) systems which seem to prefer "inet".
=item B<--nodetach> C<(new in v2.20)>
If this option is given spampd won't detach from the console and fork into the
background. This can be useful for running under control of some daemon
management tools or when configured as a win32 service under cygrunsrv's
=item B<--maxsize=n>
The maximum message size to send to SpamAssassin, in KBytes. By default messages
over 64KB are not scanned at all, and an appropriate message is logged
indicating this. The size includes headers and attachments (if any).
=item B<--dose>
Acronym for (d)ie (o)n (s)pamAssassin (e)rrors. By default if I<spampd>
encounters a problem with processing the message through Spam Assassin (timeout
or other error), it will still pass the mail on to the destination server. If
you specify this option however, the mail is instead rejected with a temporary
error (code 450, which means the origination server should keep retrying to send
it). See the related --satimeout option, above.
=item B<--tagall> or B<--a>
Tells I<spampd> to have SpamAssassin add headers to all scanned mail,
not just spam. By default I<spampd> will only rewrite messages which
exceed the spam threshold score (as defined in the SA settings). Note that
for this option to work as of SA-2.50, the I<always_add_report> and/or
I<always_add_headers> settings in your SpamAssassin F<local.cf> need to be
set to 1/true.
=item B<--log-rules-hit> or B<--rh>
Logs the names of each SpamAssassin rule which matched the message being
processed. This list is returned by SA.
=item B<--set-envelope-headers> or B<--seh> C<(new in v2.30)>
Turns on addition of X-Envelope-To and X-Envelope-From headers to the mail
being scanned before it is passed to SpamAssassin. The idea is to help SA
process any blacklist/whitelist to/from directives on the actual
sender/recipients instead of the possibly bogus envelope headers. This
potentially exposes the list of all recipients of that mail (even BCC'ed ones).
Therefore usage of this option is discouraged.
I<NOTE>: Even though spampd tries to prevent this leakage by removing the
X-Envelope-To header after scanning, SpamAssassin itself might add headers
itself which report one or more of the recipients which had been listed in
this header.
=item B<--set-envelope-from> or B<--sef> C<(new in v2.30)>
Same as above option but only enables the addition of X-Envelope-From header.
For those that don't feel comfortable with the possible information exposure
of X-Envelope-To. The above option overrides this one.
=item B<--auto-whitelist> or B<--aw>
This option is no longer relevant with SA version 3.0 and above, which
controls auto whitelist use via local.cf settings.
For SA version < 3.0, turns on the SpamAssassin global whitelist feature.
See the SA docs. Note that per-user whitelists are not available.
=item B<--local-only> or B<--L>
Turn off all SA network-based tests (DNS, Razor, etc).
=item B<--debug> or B<--d>
Turns on SpamAssassin debug messages which print to the system mail log
(same log as spampd will log to). Also turns on more verbose logging of
what spampd is doing (new in v2). Also increases log level of Net::Server
to 4 (debug), adding yet more info (but not too much) (new in v2.2).
=item B<--help> or B<--h>
Prints usage information.

=head1 To Do
Figure out how to use Net::Server::PreFork because it has cool potential for
load management. I tried but either I'm missing something or PreFork is
somewhat broken in how it works. If anyone has experience here, please let
me know.
Add configurable option for rejecting mail outright based on spam score.
It would be nice to make this program safe enough to sit in front of a mail
server such as Postfix and be able to reject mail before it enters our systems.
The only real problem is that Postfix will see localhost as the connecting
client, so that disables any client-based checks Postfix can do and creates a
possible relay hole if localhost is trusted.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the Fed plans to avert strains in the banking system by pushing financial companies to better manage liquidity risk and reduce reliance on wholesale funding.
Regulators "will continue to press banks to reduce further their dependence on wholesale funding, which proved highly unreliable during the crisis," Bernanke said in a speech yesterday in Stone Mountain, Georgia. "Banks of all sizes need to further strengthen their ability to identify, quantify and manage their liquidity risks."
Fed tests of whether banks companies could survive a severe recession have strengthened the banking system and aided economic growth, he said in his speech. In response to audience questions, he also said that expansionary monetary policies in the world's largest economies are "mutually constructive."
Wielding new powers under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Fed has compelled the largest banks to retain earnings and strengthen their buffers against losses. The Fed said last month that 17 of the 18 largest U.S. banks — including JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) — could withstand a deep recession while maintaining capital above a regulatory minimum.
"It is positive for the recovery that banks are also notably stronger than they were a few years ago," he said. "The use of supervisory stress tests — a practice now codified in statute — has helped foster these gains."
Bernanke, 59, has led central bank efforts to minimize the odds of another taxpayer bailout following the 2008-2009 financial crisis. The Fed chief didn't offer detailed comments on monetary policy.
'Significantly Stronger'
Bernanke also didn't speak about the economic outlook, while saying "the economy is significantly stronger than it was four years ago, although conditions are clearly still far from where we would all like them to be."
Monetary stimulus in advanced economies "is providing additional support for other countries through stronger financial markets, more exports," he said in response to an audience question. Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda last week announced an initiative to double the monetary base in Japan to end the nation's deflation.
When the Fed tightens policy, it will use increases in the interest rate on excess reserves as its "principal tool," he said. He didn't comment on the timing of any increase in interest rates, focusing largely on regulatory topics.
"The results of the most recent stress tests and capital planning evaluations continue to reflect improvement in banks' condition," Bernanke said. The firms, also including Bank of America Corp. (BAC) and Citigroup Inc. (C), represent more than 70 percent of the assets in the U.S. banking system.
Regulatory Capital
A measure of regulatory capital, Tier 1 common equity, more than doubled from the end of 2008 to the end of 2012 for an increase of nearly $400 billion, Bernanke said.
"Higher capital puts these firms in a much better position to absorb future losses while continuing to fulfill their vital role in the economy," he said at the Atlanta Fed's 2013 Financial Markets Conference.
The KBW Bank Index, which tracks shares of 24 large U.S. financial institutions, has risen 8.7 percent this year, compared with 9.6 percent for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, as of yesterday. The S&P 500 increased 0.6 percent yesterday to 1,563.07.
Banks have also improved their liquidity, Bernanke said.
"Banks' holdings of cash and high-quality liquid securities have more than doubled since the end of 2007 and now total more than $2.5 trillion," he said.
Deep Recession
Projected losses for the 18 biggest banks would total $462 billion over nine quarters under a scenario of deep recession and peak unemployment of 12.1 percent, the Fed said last month in the release of stress test results.
Bernanke told Congress in February he wants to end investor perceptions the government will bail out the largest U.S. financial institutions to avert a collapse.
"We need to stop too-big-to-fail," Bernanke said in testimony to the Senate Banking Committee in Washington on Feb. 26. "As somebody who's spent a lot of late nights trying to deal with these problems and the crisis, I would very much like to have the confidence that we could close down a large institution without causing damage to the rest of the economy."
Regulators and lawmakers, including Fed Governor Daniel Tarullo, Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher and Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Ohio, are pushing for more steps to prevent the need for bailouts, asserting that the Dodd-Frank Act has failed in its aim to curb the growth of large banks.
More Capital
New measures under consideration range from legislation to limit the size of big banks or require make them to raise more capital. Proposals also include regulation discouraging mergers or ensuring financial firms hold specified levels of long-term debt to convert into equity in the event of failure.
The Fed's current approach focuses on stress-testing the banks. Under the results released last month, the aggregate Tier 1 common capital ratio of the 18 biggest U.S. banks would fall from 11.1 percent in the third quarter of 2012 to 7.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Fed published its first stress test of big banks in 2009, and changed the program into a more detailed capital plan review. The March tests were conducted under a format mandated by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, one of the most sweeping reforms of financial regulation since the 1930s.
The stress tests show the improving strength of the U.S. banking system. With the economy in the fourth year of expansion, banks are benefiting from a housing-market rebound, falling mortgage delinquencies and record-low short-term interest rates that have helped boost their earnings.

A ceremonial groundbreaking was staged Friday afternoon for the new Marriott Springhill Suite hotel in Butler.
It is the centerpiece of the Centre City project that also will bring a new Rite Aid pharmacy and a 225-lot parking garage downtown.
Art Cordwell, the director of the city's redevelopment authority, was thrilled to host the ceremony after leading the project for the past three years.
"It's very exciting," he said. "I think this is a great day for the city of Butler, and I can't say enough about all the people that worked so hard for so long to get us here."
The hotel will have four stories and about 80 rooms, according to Paul Dunn, the director of JS Capitol Construction.
A preliminary first floor plan also includes a swimming pool and an exercise room for guests.
Final plans of the hotel cannot be completed until surveying of the site is done. That process is expected to take a month.
Construction on the new hotel is expected to begin in January.
Work on the Rite Aid could begin in late November, while the future of the parking garage is still dependent on the city financing the structure.

With the game tied at 4 in the bottom of the sixth, Kirby Jones took the Wildcats and put them on his back.
With the game tied at 4 in the bottom of the sixth, Kirby Jones took the Wildcats and put them on his back.
Jones broke the tie with William Blount with a two-RBI double to center and closed out the Governors in the seventh to get Oak Ridge back on the winning track 8-4 in the final game of the Kevin Calia Tournament at Bobby Hopkins Field.
Jones went 2-for-4 with a walk at the plate against William Blount — part of 11 basehits by the 'Cats.
Stephen May was solid on the mound giving up just three hits in six innings. He walked four and struck out five on 96 pitches.
Jones struck out two in the seventh in relief.
Oak Ridge seniors Prentice Young and Ralph O'Neal set the table for Matt McDaniel and Jones. All four had two hits in the game and combined for six of the team's runs.
Oak Ridge began the game down 2-0 after the first but Jordan Lane cut the deficit in half with a fielder's choice that plated O'Neal. One inning later, O'Neal would put the DiamondCats in the lead with a single and a Governors error.
The Wildcats (5-6) also defeated Fulton this week 8-4 behind a 3-for-3 day by McDaniel.
Oak Ridge faces a busy District 3-AAA schedule this week as they host rival Clinton tonight at 7:15 before traveling to Powell on Tuesday for a 5:30 p.m. tilt with the Panthers.

Civil War historian Dr. Steve Woodworth at Texas Christian University, reviewed the film Gods and Generals for the Journal of American History in 2003. The American Historical Association (AHA) recently posted a copy of that review that appeared on the website Teachinghistory.org. I have met Dr. Woodworth in the past and have found him to be a friendly and capable scholar, and enjoyed his take on the movie, as he summed up many of the problems with the film. Being in both the reenacting community and the scholarly community, I have heard both extremes on the film, with reenactors, especially Confederate, being largely praiseworthy, while scholars are more critical. I feel that this review is a rather balanced evaluation of this Civil War film.
By the way, this is the 250th post on this blog!

QUINCY � Ryan Hiller and Zach Thatcher did not look like freshmen for the Reading High School wrestling team.
The first-year wrestlers scored key victories Wednesday and lifted the Rangers to a 41-36 victory over the Quincy Orioles in a Big Eight Conference dual.
Both teams won seven matches in the dual, but Reading (12-11) was boosted by two pins, a technical fall and a disqualification victory.
"This was a good league win for us," Reading coach Mark Draper said. "We've been struggling in the league the last couple times out, so it's good to finally get on the winning side."
Trailing 30-17 after voiding two matches, Reading shifted the momentum thanks to Alex Ely and Thatcher. Ely pinned Clay McKinley in 1:51 in the 215-pound match, then Thatcher scored six points for the Rangers in the heavyweight match when Quincy's Kyle McKinley was cautioned out for stalling.
Tyler Murray gave the Orioles a 35-29 lead with a victory over Dylan Burlew (103), but Derek Hiller (112) and Cameron McKibbin (119) collected voids, giving Reading the victory.
"Zach is a 200 pound freshman wrestling heavyweight, and the guy he wrestled was every bit of 285," Draper said. "Our freshmen came through when we needed them to. The guys pulled together and rose to the occasion, and you need that at this time of year."
Hiller got the Rangers started when he pinned Dallas Connin in 56 seconds during the 135-pound match, giving Reading a 12-3 lead. Jared Brown (140) answered for Quincy by pinning Dale Holmes in double overtime, then Luke Wiser (145) and Dalton Hard (152) recorded back-to-back major decisions, giving the Orioles a 17-12 lead.
Jarret Wolford (160) got Reading back in the match with a 16-0 technical fall over Taylor Smith.
The Rangers will compete Saturday in the Leslie Tournament before host Union City for the final regular season Big Eight dual Jan. 30.
Jonesville 43, Union City 34
The Jonesville High School wrestling team kept pace for the Big Eight Conference lead Wednesday with a road victory over the Union City Chargers.
Jonesville won eight matches, including two by pinfall and one by major decision. Jacob Stiles (119) pinned Union City's Tristan Banks in 3:22, while William Corbin pinned Davis Fettes in 4:44 during the heavyweight match. Carter Ballinger (130) gave the Comets an 11-3 major decision victory over Jared Shepard and Joe Rodriguez scored an 8-3 decision over Spencer Conell in the 145-pound bout.
Michael Iler (103), Sebastian Cousins (171), Julian Rodriguez (189) and Jonathan Rodrigeuz (215) also recorded victories for Jonesville.
The Comets will host a team tournament Saturday.
Hillsdale at Blissfield Quad
The Hillsdale High School wrestling team dropped a pair of duals at Wednesday's quad meet at Blissfield. The Hornets fell 45-30 to the host Royals, then lost to Division 4 state power Manchester 59-18.
Hillsdale recorded five victories against Blissfield. Kevin Curby (160) and Jay Kies (171) got the Hornets off to a 12-0 lead by pinning Adam Crisman and Chris Barnes respectively. Dani Catalan (112), David Rodriguez (135) and Jon Marino (140) also scored pinfalls for the Hornets in the dual.
Joe Munger, Curby and Marino gave Hillsdale its victories against the Flying Dutchmen. Munger pinned Steve Suliman in the heavyweight match, while Marino pinned Edoardo Tricierri in the 140-pound bout. Curby (160) scored a pin against Jacob Pate.
The Hornets will compete in the Saline Super Duals on Saturday.

By 11 p.m. Thursday, Chris Gaffney and other business leaders had spent two hours with children at a New York City homeless shelter, sharing stories and advice on how to start a career.
But it was the residents who gave the best tips of the night, as he and his peers prepared to spend six hours sleeping on the street.
"The kids kind of tutored us on what to do: stay out of the wind, get in the corner," said Gaffney, the New Jersey group president for Horsham, Pa. builder Toll Bros. Inc. "And it was a real eye-opening experience. You sleep for about 10 minutes and you wake up for 20. You sleep for 10 and you wake up again, and the wind is blowing your sleeping bag open."
Gaffney was among 150 business leaders in Manhattan and 500 across North America who took part in the second annual Sleep Out event, organized by the nonprofit Covenant House to raise funds and awareness of youth homelessness. This year's event garnered more than $2.5 million, growing significantly from last year when the effort included only 50 executives at a single site in Times Square.
Sleepers in New York spent the night at a parking lot near the Lincoln Tunnel, said Gaffney, who will run in the Philadelphia Marathon this weekend, also to raise money for Covenant House. The event spanned 11 other cities, while including high-profile business leaders like Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.
Andrew Bustillo, chairman of the organization's board of directors, said the involvement of prominent executives is key to helping the children served by the program.
"In my mind, you can have government involvement … but I think local businesses or business in general just has so many different things to offer Covenant House — not just money, but skill sets," said Bustillo, founder of Red Bank Financial Group. "When kids come to us, our entire goal is to get them ready to lead an independent life."


text: Judge Considers Request to Block Horse Slaughter January 3, 2014 02:55 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Associated Press Email A Roswell, N.M., company that has been fighting for two years to open a horse slaughterhouse is back in court today. New Mexico Attorney General Gary King is trying to block Valley Meat Co.'s planned opening this month with a lawsuit alleging it would violate the state's food safety, water quality and unfair business practices laws. State District Judge Matthew Wilson in Santa Fe on Monday issued a temporary order preventing the company from opening before the Friday afternoon hearing. Valley Meat attorney Blair Dunn has filed a motion arguing the state lacks jurisdiction and is using the case to bolster his bid for governor. Valley Meat Co. owner Rick De Los Santos has been preparing to open in the next two weeks after a federal judge threw out a lawsuit by animal protection groups and a federal appellate court lifted a stay on operations pending the group's appeal. De Los Santos has led the effort to force the Department of Agriculture to permit the plants since Congress lifted a ban on horse slaughter in 2011, sparking an emotional, national debate on whether horses are livestock or companion animals. Animal protection groups have thrown their support behind King. Proponents argue it is better to slaughter unwanted horses domestically than have them shipped thousands of miles to Canada or less humane facilities in Mexico. Back to news
