The Authority's enabling legislation (C.R.S. 24-37.7-113) allows for SIPA to work with any Eligible Governmental Entity. An Eligible Governmental Entity (EGE) is an agency, office of the Governor, local government, political subdivision, education institution, school district, or any other eligible entity within the State of Colorado.
All EGEs can enter into an Eligible Governmental Entity Agreement with SIPA for the purpose of defining circumstances and responsibilities for e-Government services. All agreements, project requests, and work orders are at the discretion of the government entity.
1. Complete an Eligible Governmental Entity Agreement
To work with SIPA, it is necessary for the proposed entity to enter into an Eligible Governmental Entity Agreement with SIPA. This agreement is the first step and simply states that the entity is willing to work with SIPA. It lays the foundation for future projects with the Portal at the discretion of the entity. For more information about the agreement, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
2. Submit a Service Request Form
Once the EGE Agreement is fully executed, a project request form will be completed detailing information about the proposed application, website, or service that is suitable for development through SIPA. Available entity resources and the perceived benefits are included in the project request.
3. Negotiate and Sign Work Order:
A work order, task order, or statement of work specific to the entities' project will be negotiated so that both parties understand the scope of work, fees involved, and timelines required.
Please contact email@example.com further questions.
SIPA has selected a Content Management System (CMS) solution to provide Colorado government entities the ability to manage content on entity websites. This software is a comprehensive web content management solution that allows for trained content experts to manage and update website layouts, style, and content with an easy to use administrative interface.
Website Design Informational Packet
The Portal has developed a secure Transaction Payment Engine (TPE) that works smoothly with state and local financial processes. Eligible governmental entities can connect their existing applications to the Colorado.gov Checkout Utility and accept payments over the internet via credit cards or electronic checks. The system processes and stores payments, is Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant, and includes an administrative interface that allows for entity users to report on and research transactions.
The Transaction Payment Engine feature was expanded to include a PayPort application, which is an over-the-counter transaction system to be used in Eligible Governmental Entity offices. This solution offers counties and agencies within the State of Colorado the ability to process over-the-counter payments from walk-in or telephone customers via credit card or e-Check for goods and services, such as paying fines, fees, or taxes.
The Portal also provides custom application development. Governmental entities often have a need that cannot be satisfied by SIPA's enterprise solutions. The Portal in these circumstances will partner with the established government entity to develop a new service or enhance existing web services to meet the existing government entity's needs. Examples of custom solutions can be found on the Featured Applications page.
Online Event Registration allows you the ease and flexibility to set up your event in a matter of minutes. There is also the option to provide a payment forum to process your event fees. With Event Registration you can easily create, organize and manage customized events.
Additional Features:

He didn't punch the man as a "police officer", he punched the man as a "marine". At this point in time, the office chose to take off his uniform and badge, and become a civilian. He needs to be fired, and prosecuted. I agree that the victim shouldn't have stepped close to the officer, but the officer should have backed away and chose a stance of defense, instead of just hauling off and whacking the guy. Protocol was totally thrown to the curb with this officer.
Fucking cop just like a law crazed punk
This cop was way out of line. At no time should anyone act the way he did. The Police force has a tough time, but this man went way off the handle. Yes, the young man should have backed down, but at no time did he deserve what happened.
The video shows the cop moved toward that soldier. The soldier stood still. In every way that cop was the agressor! He should be fired and brought up on charged of assault. And so should the other cop standing there.
Holy fucking fired and lawsuit.
Regardless of his well-deserved indigence at being subjected to extreme unprofessionalism by the PD, the caller does seem like a little bit of a prick.
Having made that clear, the police were FAR out of line here:
- You can clearly see in the video that the cop *aggressively* takes a step toward the man.
- Yes, the man stepped back at the officer, but
1) Is that a crime? Details please, not opinions.
2) Does the officer say 'take a step back' or 'please don't advance on me', or does the officer try to calm an understandably pissed citizen? NO! **The officer** is the one who immediately starts a confrontation with his snide 'We're not on your time-watch' comment.
- With the unwarranted tackling and restraint, ego-waving with the 'Marine' comments, and patronization with the demand for 'apologies', BOTH of these officers are clearly sad little pin-@%$# men on a power-trip.
- APOLOGIES for police officers? What is this, Nazi Germany?
- I love how the officer flatly denies the man's comment about how the Dispatcher treated him… as if *claiming* that it never happened will make it true.
Let these guys go for a few more years, and they'll be the kind of assholes that run police crime rings (if they don't already).
I've never before seen this type of crap before! No wonder these cops (& I use this term loosely) don't get respect from "civilians" they think their better than us commonres! They should be beaten down with someone else's knee in their chest! Then a big lawsuit and jail time. Then they can rule the jail house! Pieces of CRAP!
Whimper and cower before the force, put that tail between your legs. Keep those ears down and that mouth closed. Whimper, but no whining. Now muzzle him, get that leash on tight. Remember due process? Could have used that here. It might have alllowed some respect to develop. On both sides. I miss it already.
The officer is wrong. 1st he is not a marine he is a ROGUE cop. 2nd the victim called the police and when they arrive to a victim of a robbery mugging they should expect them to be upset. 3 rd they arrested the victim of police brutality and did not read him is rights.(Handcuffed and moved)4th cop continued to speak antagonistically of his brutality incident with threats to repeat it.5th Both cops should be fired and jailed and fined as 2nd cop did not interfere and actually assisted perp cop.
PATRIOT, I got a kick out of it,MY cousens a ARMY COL. I called him after seeing this VIDEO,and told him to watch it,THE police have aways made a point in beating down military people and killing them,I really doubt that cop was a marine,if he was IT won't matter under marshal law,MY cousen says the cops will reget having attacked military people before its over.he said the military will be running the FEMA camps,and he fully intends to put every cop and their family they can find in the fema camps,hahaha….paybacks are a bitch…….
More common as the POLICE STATE EXPANDS.
I never would call the police…
Instead, the police have no lawful legal right to step foot on my private posted property with any weapons.. if they do, they are lawful targets for me take out ASAP…
That stupid ass army boy deserved everey thing he got. he steped up and the cop and former Marine put him in he's place. OOH Fucking Rah.
Well said. He was getting all tough and trying to control things but sure went down easy. Reservists…
STFU paintball pu$$ies
yeah right mr brainwashed. cop steps to me his fat lard ass is going down. stick that up your lame ass ooh rah
SAY JOHN, I bet you laughed your ass off when you heard the police gang in arizona shot that army ranger 80 times in front of his family didn't you?????and I bet you and you twisted friends laughed even harder at the fact their were at the wrong house…………..
Cop only did what this clowns parents should have done. He showed total disrespect for the cop and the cop took care of the situation.
If you want to see just how far out of line the LAPD are today you should read Christopher Dorner's original facebook posting before TPTB replaced it. There is a copy at http://www.jimstonefreelance.com
The Daily Sheeple would do very well to copy this and post an article about it
The police in this situation abused their authority. It's not against the law to smoke, so you don't have to put your cig out for the police and the police officer stepped forward in an aggression first. What did he expect when he acts aggressive towards a person upset they are gonna be aggressive back. Also the kid didn't need to apologize.
That rouge cop is taking care of those pieces of gang banger shit cops.
doing this every day i can see how the police would react not being!pigmentchallenged most of you would not have been through the pinole system this is how caucasis corret unacceptable behavior the army kid disrespected the officers marine older male with other officer back up yes i can see that this should and could have been handled better kid learned that you do not disrespect your owen just like a drill instrucker doing this evey day i seen the bald officer reaction to this event the word crap comes to mind how do i wright this up so the kid dont do long time and i don't get fired hope that the kid learned that you do not act like this is a bar staned off and the cop gets the under standing that pc people will pic this apart i being 5'9 170 know not to squire off against 6'1 300 each when there comimg to help u sorry it took me 40 min to get hear but 1000 to 1 is the standerd for police to public take a not from the nigroids respect record redirectjust think the kid got his ass kicked twice in 45 mins maybe the drugs the nwo gave him when he got out should out of his system in a mouth or so
The Cops were wrong. Dude try english or drop the weed
DAMN! no offense, but that post was a difficult read.
Dude…..BADLY HANDLED…..WHAT ARE YOU ON??? One is free to open their mouth to rant about something….but before you start to post shit….learn to spell
Can't say that i have an issue with this video, these people are highly under paid and and have to deal with people that start to make the same movements but if officer's don't take this action it normally ends up as a knife to them or a drawn firearm, so this officer took his standards steps to assure his protection. To the people that think he abused his authority, that is a load a crap and if people (the majority) would so them respect and understand that they have to watch over much more then just one person, and not curse them or get aggressive attitudes towards them, Officers would not feel that this is the way they have to act with little aggression shown to them. I just want all to remember they have to deal with the kinda of people that think all cops should die every day, so they have an instinct caused by this that makes them protect themselves and their partners first.
The young punk "bowed up" and thought he was all tough crap throwing his military creds in the cops face. The cop was actually very respectful and he gave the punk everything he deserved. If you don't correct your children early, the world will do it and they won't be so nice.
YEA KEV,your going to love living at the fema camps,hey send us a post card and let know how life is there would ya……………..
in the joint things are taken care of in-house. no filthy corrupt entities involved.
Fucking typical pig! Try that shit with me you fucking peice of shit
Hhahahahaahaaaha! That is good for the fascist nazi goon cop! We live under the 4th REICH here in Nazi Amerika, and the slaves do nothing as the jack booted thugs rape and torture their women. ONly the LAPD PUNISHER has the cojones to do what needs to be done. Good for the Nazi Goon to bitch slap the soljer..he is a coward..deserves to be bitch slapped!
Both were in the wrong.
typicle jarhead-cop . Do as i say not as i do.
Wtf this cop needs to be put in his place. He stepped up in this guys face. Wtf has this world come too.
VELVET,If stupid were airplanes,there would be a hundred in every driveway in america,the people of this once great nation used to be free and their children were raised as ALPHA males,but the police gangs all work for the foreign corporations now and its their job to make sure the serfs don't rebel,so they beat them down to please their corp boss's,BUT whats worse is the rest of the braindead slaves love it and haray their corp.masters when one that rebels gets beat down because their cowards and would never stand up,and are raising their children to be cowards too,SO you see america is lost and the cowards will be the gate keepers of their own slavery…….
The kid did take a step towards the officer but only after the officer stepped towards him acting aggressively. The kid had already been assaulted and was obviously agitated which was made worse by him waiting. The police are meant to defuse situations, no accelerate them or instigate them, like the officer said hims self "We are a professional hard working agency.", he needed to handle the situation much better than he did. I don't feel this should result in the loss of his job, but I could justifiably see a civil suit against him and the agency come from it. There was no threat posed until the officer himself further agitated the situation solely out of ego by him thinking he is better because of him being a Marine. It was not a pissing match, it was someone trying to protect themselves and felt attacked in every effort he made in doing so.
WOW!!!!! This officer definitely has no idea about Graham vs Connor and use of force. Incited the suspect and knowingly put himself in harms way by stepping up to the suspect. Then getting into a useless diatribe about military instead of investigating the nature of the call. POS needs fired and sued. He gives all cops a bad name. Head strong thug………Ever heard of psychological first aid for the victim you retard……
That is not cops. Those two are wg=hat is known as badged thugs. Thugs are being breed all over this country.
Some time in te future they will witness what an armed militia will look like. They don't care if you are a marine. They care about the Constutition.
Karma has a way of catching up with people. One of these days, he will slap the wrong person & his badge nor bullet proof vest won't save him.
He must not have been much of a Marine, he didn't display much discipline or professionalism. The victim of this situation didn't display much initially either. This was a clear case of assault.
Mistake #1, calling the cops to handle ANY of your business. Mistake #2, not having an appropriately sized IED to handle them when/if they arrived for any reason. This kind of treatment from our would-be protectors "who aren't" is what we can expect under our ever-growing Socialist Nation. Due time to water the Liberty Tree.
I agree with those that stated that both the COP (a Marine) and the cursing Citizen (Army Reserve) were out of line.
There is never a proper time to approach anyone cursing. The Civilian need to be taught how to handle his anger before approaching a cop investigating anything.
But after a slap the toughness seemed to go away and the civilian had a considerable different attitude.
I know there are situations of Unnecessary Roughness by cops but I don't see this as being one.
NOMON oathkeeper,I bet you would have loved being a NAZI prison camp commander,why when those jews cried about being hungry,you could have just killed a few hundred of them and they would have shut right up,HEY have you applied for a job in the fema camps yet? knowing your a piece of shit like you are,you'd have a free hand at killing those out of line women and children……………
You attitude is just as vile as the Custodian of the camps. You are making so many assumptions and assumptions are just as plentiful as ears, everyone has a couple.
You are just as violent minded as the skinheads, raciest that float around in small groups because small is their mind.
I stand for self-defense but never aggression as the Civilian showed by posturing in front of the cop.. Don't give me this shit that the cop did it first excuse. Cops have to maintain control of all situations, this is a SOP from ancient days "SO YOU MUST NEVER ALLOW THE COP TO THINK HE IS NOT IN CONTROL".
The Civilian had never been in control or he wouldn't have called the cop in the first place.
Mr. Arizona from all your ANTI-Police post I would bet if your real identity was revealed Your Criminal Record would come to lite. As a Chaplain in a local jail I have seen you attitude many times. It's always someone else's fault, they made me do it, I had to do what I did are your excuses. You never stand up and take responsibility and say " I CHOSE TO DO IT, IT's MY DIVISION and I CHOSE TO DO WHAT I DID.
THE NAZI ARE COMING, FEMA DEATH CAMPS ARE WAITING THE SKY IS FALLING. Fear mongers are just as bad and evil as Whores, Prostitutes, Bank Robbers and Liars.
Take your fear and shove it my friend.
Don't reproduce
@ akvalmet30….agreed
As a USMC vet of two combat theaters, I am discusted at the lack of discipline that ex marine/cop displayed. This is happening way to much, as we are losing our freedoms incrementally every day. One day people will look back in time to the days of real freedom, and yearn for the return of that freedom, but by then it will be to late…
WELL MIKE,I'am realy surprised to hear you say any thing bad about a fellow marine,I really though marines were born killers and rapist,marines make great cops,cause soon america will be attacked by russians and chinese military and I sort of thought you marines would be so excited by that, you'd just start killing,everything and everyone you saw,women,children,dogs cats,cows,horses,just to be killing something………………..
STFU Arizona, you F**king troll
Damn… That cop i seriously would have went on a rage fucked them both up hella abusing their power…
Holy **** why aren't these cops in jail. Who on earth do they think they
are the NKVD?
thank you for funding my retirement
BOY theorglube have you got a surprise coming,OBAMA just announced he taking everyones retirement ,public and private to give to his banker friends in england,and guess who's going to protect him and his criminal cabal after he steals everyones money……you got it "THE POLICE GANG", KISS any chance of the future retirement good by,cause then there coming after you and your guns so you can't do anything about having your life saving's stolen………
And Police wonder why even "law abiding" citizens have lost respect for the uniform…. Disgraceful, but based upon the national trends expect more of this tactical bravado from your local officers. It is rampant on the east coast and buried by local politicians and DA' s offices.
Citizen Sam,what you see in the video is the complete lost of america,the government has become rotten to the core,and as the rot has been exposed the police gangs who have always buried their crimes are having a harder time covering up the thieft of america by their boss's,so they are beating down any resistance,the younger ALPHA MALES have,the older gen. are all pussies and fagots and cowards,so they don't resist,and when they see some one like this army kid they yell kill him,kill him………so the police gangs keep getting worse and worse,and the cowards love it………..no resistence,thats what they want to see,their cowards…..america is history now…….the sheep are happy,for awhile….
Cops are nothing but tools for the system. Screw them all. never deal with the f'ing police because to them they work for the state and everyone else is a criminal. No faith, no trust, no support for the cops ever.
This cop would get away with this crime. and then I would visit him at home and he would be killed. By me.This kind od bully with a badge has to stop. Follow these bastards home and unprotected and off them. Maybe when he is mowing his lawn or in the pool.
GEE BILL don't you wished you could have been there ,why you could have given the cops a blowjob before they left to go smash in someone else's face,boy you really missed your chance…..
SEE, I personally think if the army kid would have been there with a haft dozen of his army buddies and they all had M-16′s ,that chickenshit marine would have acted like the coward he was,and him and his piece of shit police gang friend would have KEPT THEIR MOUTH SHUT,and listened to what was going on,and then went to talk to the other people,BUT being out numbered and facing a police gang member without his weapons,was a big mistake on his part,BUT I do think he may have learned a lession here,next time BE ARMED and ready…and never expect a criminal to help you take down other criminals….
Whers's officer dorner when you need him?
This is the new normal. Police are the domestic shock troops. We have a culture of fear and violence so everybody is continually on stand by to ramp up. Police overreact some of the time but this guy did nothing to help his cause. This video points at a lot of things. Less police longer response times. You had better be prepared to protect yourself. How ironic this is in CA where they are trying to practically eliminate guns for law abiding citizens. You can be assaulted, shot and bleed out on the street well before any law enforcement and/or paramedic arrives. If you think the government/law makers give a rats ass about your safety you are sadly mistaken, they are all about control. If you get killed by some thug you are collateral damage just like civilians who get killed by drones overseas. Now you can be killed by a drone also courtesy of our govt. New normal, and we as the sheeple allow this crap!
The kid deserved it.
He violated the cops space and was threatening!
He moved towards the cop and that's a No NO!!!!
Where's Dorner when you need him? #teamDorner
Hes not a bully you stupid fuck hes a US Marine and a Cop. DONT FUCK WITH US!
No he's a swaggering bully is what he is. What do we need to bow and scrape
to cops now too? I don't think so. Cops are corrupt bullying cowards and
incompetent ones to boot. The only thing they're good for is hassling whites
with tickets. Any sort of real opposition and they'll run like the gutless cowards they are
you better get to know a few cops, they will give you a whole other prospective on your comment
every single person who posted should call the is PD every day and ask if this person is still working.Everyone of us should post this video to the police website everyday and ask if this officer is still working.Every one here should post this video to the House of represenatives for this stae,asking for laws that will demand police reform.
It doesnt change on its own!!!
I am all for the cop, This young man may have started out claiming he was a victim, however he clearly moved into an active aggressor by his verbal then physical actions.
It obvious he was looking to push a confrontation, weather it was verbal or physical does not matter. What matters is what the cop perceived at the time and the amount of force need to counter it. Good job mister police man! You took a potential victim turned hostile back down to sanity with no serious injuries, except a bruised ego!!! Excellent use of force continuum. To the nay sayers I challenge you to put your self in the cops shoes. How would you Handel a possible victim / gone hostile. Remember you only get one shot to get home to your family, and you want to do the job for 20 plus years?
LOL note to self… Do not call the police for any reason just handle shit on my own…. This cop is a dbag and should be executed.
i hate it when people say they're "soldiers" and think that gives them permission to do anything they want!! it is ridiculous, they think they run the town they are posted in and cant be decent human beings and think they are better than anyone else.
good job Marine
You're all a bunch of crying fucks. Lawsuit, fired, charges, boohoo. He lived, he got a cut lip, big fucking deal.

Subversion: Not Just for Code Anymore
Have you ever needed some information from a file, only to remember that you modified the file a week ago and removed the very information you're interested in? Or, have you ever spent hours sifting through dozens of inconsistently named copies of the same file trying to find one particular version? If you're like me, the answer is probably a resounding yes to both questions. Of course, if you're a programmer, you've probably already solved that problem in your development activities by using a version control system like CVS or Subversion. What about everything else though? Mom's cherry pie recipe may not change as frequently as rpc_init.c, but if you do decide to create a low-cal version, you're not going to want to lose the original. As it turns out, version control isn't only for source files anymore. Many of the features of Subversion make it ideal for versioning all kinds of files.
With Subversion, you can keep a history of changes made to your files. That way, you easily can go back and see exactly what a given file contained at a particular point in time. You also save space, because it stores deltas from one version to the next. That way, when you make a change to a versioned file, it needs only enough extra space to store the changes rather than a complete second copy of the file. Also, unlike with CVS, delta storage on Subversion also applies to binary files as well as text files.
Subversion makes it easy to access your files from multiple computers too. Instead of worrying whether the copy of the budget report on your laptop reflects the changes you made last night on your desktop system at home, you can simply run an update on your laptop and Subversion automatically updates your file to the latest version in the repository. Also, because all of the versions are stored in a single repository, there is a single location that you need to back up in order to keep all of your data safe.
So your interest is piqued. You're sold on the advantages of versioning your files, and you'd like to give it a try. The first question to answer is what files you're going to put under version control. One obvious possibility would be to version your entire hard drive. In practice though, that's not a very practical approach. When you store a portion of a repository's contents locally (in what's called a working copy), Subversion stores a second copy of each file to allow it to compare locally changes you have made with the last version from the repository. Therefore, if you version the entire hard drive, you'll need twice as much hard drive.
There's also little reason to keep full revision history on the largely static parts of your filesystem, such as /usr or /opt. On the other hand, directories that contain a lot of custom files/modifications, such as /etc or /home, are prime candidates for versioning, because the advantage of tracking those changes is more likely to outweigh the disadvantages of extra storage requirements. Furthermore, with Subversion, you can opt to create a working copy from a subtree in the repository hierarchy. That way, you don't need to store any copies of infrequently accessed data locally, which often results in a net reduction in hard drive requirements, even though the files you are storing locally take up twice as much space.
Now, let's dive in and get Subversion running on your machine. Installing is generally pretty easy. You can, of course, download the Subversion source and compile that, but in most cases, it's going to be much easier to install the precompiled binary package for your Linux distribution of choice. Fortunately, Subversion has matured to the point where such a package is available for almost every major distribution. In fact, I don't know of any off the top of my head that it isn't available for.
Once you have Subversion installed, it's time to create a repository. Let's say you have a documents directory in your home that you'd like to version. First, you need to create a new empty repository using the svnadmin create command. For instance, the following creates a new repository in your home directory:
$ svnadmin create $HOME/.documents_repository
Next, you need to import your existing documents into the newly created repository. To do that, use the svn import command with the directory to import and a URL that points to the repository. In this example, the URL refers directly to the repository using a file://-type URL. If your repository will be used only locally, the file:// URL is the easiest way to access a repository (there are other, better ways to access repositories that I'll discuss in a bit though):
$ svn import $HOME/documents file://$HOME/.documents_repository
When you run the import command, Subversion opens an editor and asks you for a log message. Whatever message you enter will be associated with the newly created repository revision and can be seen by examining the repository history logs. Enter something brief, such as "imported documents directory". As soon as you save the log message and leave the editor, Subversion performs the import and outputs something like the following:
Adding documents/file1.txt Adding documents/file2.txt Adding documents/file3.jpg Committed revision 1.
You can now safely remove the original $HOME/documents and then re-create it as a working copy of the repository, using the svn checkout command:
$ rm -rf $HOME/documents $ svn checkout file://$HOME/.documents_repository $HOME/documents
So far, so good. However, if you want to take advantage of Subversion from multiple machines, you're going to need to set up a server. Several options are available to you, but the best choice is generally to use Apache with mod_dav, which serves a Subversion repository using the WebDAV protocol.
From a basic Apache installation, getting WebDAV to work is fairly simple. First, you need to make sure that mod_dav and mod_dav_svn are being loaded:
LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
Next, you need to set up a <Location> directive to point to your repository. For example, if you want your repository to be referenced with the URL http://example.net/bill/documents, and the repository is located in /srv/repositories/bill_documents, you could use the following Location directive:
<Location /bill/documents> DAV svn SVNPath /srv/repositories/bill_documents AuthType None </Location>
Or, if you want more security, you could allow for valid users only:
<Location /bill/documents> DAV svn SVNPath /srv/repositories/bill_documents AuthType Basic AuthName "Bill's Documents" AuthUserFile /srv/repositories/bill_documents/passwd Require valid-user </Location>
Labels for certain important changes
Good article. However, I was missing a little paragraph about labelling some important versions of a file. For example, I am trying to modify my grandmother's cake receipt. I made some changes and I got a good receipt, but still I am not totally satisfied. I would like to save this version of the receipt with a label "good-enough" and continue trying. Can I do this? How do I do it?
Re: Labels for certain important changes
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the article.
Creating a "label" of a version of your file couldn't be easier. All you have to do is make a copy of the file and rename it to whatever you want. Subversion uses what it calls "cheap copies" when you make a copy of a file in the repository. Basically what that means is that it doesn't really make a copy of the file. Instead all it does is make a new entry under the new filename that points back to the revision of the original file from which it was created, which uses almost zero extra space on disk.
Assuming you are using WebDAV, you can do the copy by just copying the file as you would any other file and Subversion will "do the right thing" (don't create the copy by using Save As from the text editor though, as that will create a copy of the file's contents in the repository). On the other hand, if you're using a working copy of the repository you can do the copy from the command line using "svn copy" followed by "svn commit".
import syntax
I think you need to use file:/// (3 /'s instead of 2) when not including a hostname.
Awesome article. I really want to try the webdav stuff.
Re: import syntax
I think you need to use file:/// (3 /'s instead of 2) when not including a hostname.
You are correct. However if you look back at the article you'll notice that I use $HOME, which includes the leading slash so that
file://$HOME will expand to
file:///home/bill (with the correct number of /'s).
Awesome article. I really want to try the webdav stuff.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I with you luck with getting WebDAV going.

If Obama Had Run on the Stimulus Plan, He Would Have Lost
A trillion reasons to worry about the stimulus plan.
By Mary Kate Cary, Thomas Jefferson Street Blog
The Obama administration is hoping that senators will see the new jaw-dropping unemployment rate of 7.6 percent, which was just released this morning hours before the Senate is scheduled to start voting on the stimulus bill. The new unemployment numbers add some urgency to the already-rushed vote Sen. Reid wants to hold before lawmakers leave on recess.
But here's the video I'd like the senators to see before they vote on the stimulus:
" Well, how can we possibly afford to do that? " she asked.
It's important for young people to understand the magnitude of this proposal. Have all the politicians forgotten that it's the next generation of kids who are going to have to pay for all this?
What would happen if each Senator had to explain the stimulus bill to a class of sixth graders?
Massive deficit spending certainly isn't what President Obama campaigned on with young people. Rich Lowry writes a great blog today on the difference between Obama's stimulus arguments and the policies he campaigned on:
If he had pledged in October to double federal domestic discretionary spending in a matter of weeks—including increasing the budget of the National Endowment for the Arts by a third, spending hundreds of millions more on federal buildings and throwing tens of billions on every traditional liberal priority from job training to Pell Grants—he'd have been hard-pressed to win at all.
The president should read the transcript of the third presidential debate. He claimed his program represented "a net spending cut." He called himself "a strong proponent of pay-as-you-go. Every dollar that I've proposed, I've proposed an additional cut so that it matches." He added, "We need to eliminate a whole host of programs that don't work."
Lowry's right—President Obama's use of the "I won" argument only works if he campaigned on the stimulus package and won a broad mandate for it. But he didn't. The fact is candidate Obama campaigned on pay-as-you-go programs and tax cuts for 95 percent of the American people. When he talked about "the urgency of now," this isn't what we thought he meant.
A trillion dollars borrowed from future generations is not the kind of "change" people thought they were voting for—and it's definitely not the change all those young people want.

First Great Western
What's On Board
Seating Options
A train line like the First Great Western caters to many different types of travelers: from commuters to locals to adventurers. And the First Class offering has to be First Class to all of them. That's why you'll find the amenities varied and helpful, regardless of whether you're using the train as a secondary office, or simply getting some well-needed rest time between sightseeing on your feet. (Because of course, on a train you're still always sightseeing. Whether it's past the rolling English countryside or cosmopolitan business centers.) The cabin itself is a sophisticated, luxurious affair with soothing appointments, power outlets and plentiful space. A quiet car is available on all high-speed services, and if your stomach starts making noise you'll find tasty treats from the Express Café available for purchase and served by a First Class hostess.
There really is something for everyone. And frankly, there had to be.
Duo Seats
Aisle and window seats next to each other with pull-down tables.
Solo Seat
A seat on its own next to the window with a pull-down table.
Club 2 Seat
Two solo seats facing each other across a table.
Club 4 Seat
Four seats facing each other across a table.
Meals & Concessions
Our First Class travelers are all over the map. Literally. So we figured their hunger for things would be just as varied. That's why most First Great Western high-speed services offer a buffet or trolley service with a wide selection of hot and cold snacks, sandwiches, beverages, crisps and sweets. The trolley comes by your seat and offers light refreshments Monday to Friday, including tea, freshly made coffee, soft drinks, mineral water, morning goods, biscuits, peanuts and fresh fruit.
If you're lucky enough to be traveling on a Friday night, the Friday Night Wine Club offers First Class travelers a complimentary glass from 3-7pm. It's a great way to put a cork in the week. We can hear the "Cheers!" now.
On Board Services
First Great Western offers plentiful on-board benefits to those traveling First Class. It starts with a warm welcome that leads to your cushy reclining seat, replete with a table and power outlet. You'll be waited on by a First Class host with complimentary refreshments throughout your journey, and on some trains be able to have food delivered to your seat from an on-board buffet.
There's even a Friday Night Wine Club to celebrate the beginning of the weekend. Who wouldn't raise a glass to that?
Services at the station
Your First Class ticket on the First Great Western grants you exclusive access to First Class lounges at London Paddington, and Cardiff Central stations. Plus, high-speed WiFi access is available in some of our main stations, their waiting areas and platforms. Who doesn't love easy emailing, surfing and downloading before boarding?
(Stations with WiFi: Bath Spa, Bristol Parkway, Bristol Temple Meads, Didcot Parkway, Exeter St Davids, Newbury, Plymouth, Reading, Slough, and Swindon).

The Politics of War: Then and Now
by Intrepid Liberal Journal, Mon Jun 26, 2006 at 07:36:29 PM EDT
They all told him the administration's policies were working and a premature withdrawal was tantamount to weakness. The war was of course Vietnam. LBJ was in the White House. And a Massachusetts congressman named Tip O'Neill was on a collision course with President Johnson after years of steadfast support.
"One Friday, I was invited to speak at Boston College, where Susan and Tommy were both undergraduates. I gave my usual talk on the war, which was followed, as usual, by a dialogue with the students. As always, they took issue with both my information and my views.
`You know,' I told a young man who had challenged me, `I think I know more about this situation than you do. I've been briefed forty-three times. I've been briefed by Robert McNamara. I've been briefed by the CIA. I've been briefed by Dean Rusk. And I've been briefed by the president of the United States.'
`That's a lot of briefings,' said the student, whose name was Pat McCarthy. `But how many times have you been briefed by the other side?'
The question came as a complete shock. Nobody had ever asked that one before.
That night, as I was lying in bed, thinking over the events of the day, I kept coming back to Pat McCarthy's question. And I had to acknowledge that I hadn't ever taken a good look at the other side of the issue. Before I fell asleep, I resolved to do just that."
It was 1967 and for Tip O'Neill an epiphany. O'Neill had been on the rise in the House and enjoyed a good relationship with Johnson. He was also personally close to Speaker John McCormack an avowed hawk.
It was McCormack who persuaded O'Neill not to vote against the Gulf of Tonkin resolution three years earlier:
"'If you vote against this resolution,'" he said, "'you'll be seen as a traitor to your country. It will be the worst vote you ever make. I urge you in the strongest possible terms not to do it.'
I decided to go along with his advice. But I don't want to blame John McCormack, because I was free to vote my conscience. I just didn't have the courage."
After the Boston College encounter, O'Neill found his voice and sent his constituents a newsletter declaring his opposition to the Vietnam War:
"For a mainstream Democratic congressman like myself, the newsletter represented a radical departure - not only from the views of my colleagues, but also from those of my constituents. For despite all the colleges in my district, the students who were old enough to vote did so in their home communities. Of my regular constituents, only 15 percent opposed the war. The day I sent out the letter I told my son Tommy that I had just signed my political death warrant.
But I knew it was the right thing to do."
There was an initial backlash from his district and inside the Democratic Party leadership. Johnson feared that as a member of the Democratic establishment, O'Neill could become a rallying point for other restless members of his party and he summoned the congressman to the White House. Johnson managed to persuade O'Neill to mitigate his opposition and "give me time" to straighten Vietnam out.
Vietnam wasn't straightened out and in another year O'Neill's opposition was dwarfed. Eugene McCarthy launched an insurgent campaign for the presidency followed by Robert Kennedy. Johnson opted not to seek another term. Vice President Humphrey carried the Democratic banner honorably but his association with Johnson denied him the presidency. More blood was shed on both sides under Nixon.
Tip O'Neill was a good man. But he didn't have the courage to stand up to LBJ in 1964. Not many did. When he was finally ready to dissent, O'Neill was willing to sacrifice his congressional seat for the greater good but it was too late.
Today's politicians are cut from different cloth than Tip O'Neill. However, contrary to the media's focus on division among the Democrats, the party is finally finding its' voice. Not everyone supports a fixed date of withdrawal but the Democrats are deliberating over real alternatives to Bush's moronic stay the course policies.
Understandably, as a minority congressional party the Democrats are institutionally incapable of rallying behind a single position or leader on the issue - especially with several of them jostling for 2008. Nonetheless, we are hearing some creativity from John Murtha, Russ Feingold and even Joe Biden. Even more remarkably, General Casey's plans for troop reductions strongly resemble the recent Senate resolution offered by Feingold and Kerry!
But that is not enough. The country must have principled courageous dissent within the GOP ranks on the Iraq war. Republicans rebelled against Bush on Social Security, immigration and Dubai ports. Yet on the Iraq War they remain mindless drones concerned more with political advantage than our national interest.
Occasionally, John McCain expresses no confidence in Rumsfeld and Chuck Hagel rebukes his party about tone. That is insufficient. Unless Republicans finally make concessions to reality, the ripple effect from the Iraq War will be impossible to contain and Afghanistan will be lost too.
Hopefully, the recent leaks about General Casey's plans will do more than simply embarrass the Republicans and Bush. Perhaps a Bush loyalist within the GOP establishment will have an epiphany the way Tip O'Neill did forty years ago and put the national interest first. A nice thought but I'm not holding my breath.

Brave Newport baby Levi given date for vital operation
5:10pm Monday 24th September 2012 in News By Ruth Mansfield
NEWPORT baby Levi Trotter, who spent the first week of his life battling meningitis, will undergo an operation next month to have a feeding tube fitted into his stomach after doctors discovered he is unable to swallow.
The one-year-old, of Pill, who had pneumococcal meningitis after he suddenly stopped breathing at his home, is due to undergo the operation on October 31 at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff.
The youngster has already been diagnosed blind and deaf in one ear after battling the disease and also had to undergo an operation in September last year to fit a permanent shunt to drain fluid from his brain.
The Argus reported in May how Levi's parents Amber Collins and Aly Trotter were then dealt with a further blow when doctors found little Levi was having difficulty swallowing due to complications fromthe meningitis and would need the stomach operation.
The family found out the date for the surgery this week.
Miss Collins said: "I'm happy we have a date but at the same time I'm not. He's going to be really unwell after it and will be in intensive care for a week."
Miss Collins said the operation with Levi will be more complicated than normal as there is a risk his shunt could be punctured. Surgeons will therefore have to remove his shunt, carry out the stomach operation and replace the shunt.
The family also recently found out that Levi also suffers from a condition called basal ganglia which affects his muscles and limits the movement in his body.
Miss Collins said: "He has had a lot thrown at him but he is still a happy baby."

The heavy-duty aluminum, 24-passenger Mist Cove is 157 feet long and 33 feet wide, with a draft of almost 9 feet. The interior is classic, comfortable, and plush, with marvelous mahogany accents throughout. The Mist Cove looks similar to her older sister ship the M/V Liseron. However, she is slightly larger (24 versus 20 passengers) and has two cranes and five, 20-foot skiffs (rather than the one crane and four skiffs on the Liseron).
With 13 crew and 7 days dedicated to covering only 90+ miles, the ship can adjust its schedule according to the interests of the passengers. (We actually sailed about 375 miles during the week.) The first evening, passengers are given a survey to rank their preferences for the week. Choices include hiking, kayaking, fishing, exploring by boat, lectures by the onboard naturalist, relaxing on board, or sleeping the entire week with no disruptions (except for meals). We had eight active couples on our cruise, ranging in age from their mid-40's to late 60's. Based on the results of the survey, we had daytime opportunities for kayaking, hiking, and fishing. Although a few passengers took a little time off here and there to stay onboard and read or rest, most of us were off the ship, maximizing our time to learn and see as much as possible about this marvelous slice of the world - Southeast Alaska.
Although the onboard naturalist volunteered to give formal presentations on a variety of topics, we were all tired in the evenings, so we just pestered him with questions during the day. Like the rest of the crew, he took it in stride, patiently helping us to understand the geology, flora, and fauna of the region. Learning while doing in real time is so much more fun!
The Boat Company shore staff do an excellent job of booking just adults on some cruises, and families on others. For example, one couple on the Mist Cove were celebrating their anniversary the next week after our cruise and had originally wanted to book for that week. However, when the Mist Cove shore staff pointed out that family groups with children were already booked to sail during their anniversary week, they chose our week instead.
Although it is difficult to imagine that some travelers might not enjoy a week on the Mist Cove, those who prefer indoor activities or love a Las Vegas-type cruise, with gambling, musical entertainment, professional shows, multiple dining venues, and a more formal experience should look elsewhere.
Let's take a tour of the Mist Cove.

Post a reply to the thread: Californias fraudulent audit claiming CSAC misappropriation of $120k

And here's a link to the LONG LIST of shady actions dealing with the CSAC
Californias fraudulent audit claiming CSAC misappropriation of $120k
The state Athletic Commission overpaid 18 athletic inspectors nearly $119,000 over two years. They were inappropriately paid overtime rates rather than straight-time rates.
Thats the headline coming out of tonights report from Californias Bureau of State Audits. The inspectors in question were not named specifically, but you dont have to be a rocket scientist to figure out who the inspectors in question are. How can I say this with such confidence?
Just look at the list of inspector salaries we compiled. When we released that salary list, it spooked everyone in Sacramento.
KCRA, the NBC affiliate in Sacramento, led their 6 PM newscast with the story about the BSA report and CSAC.
Nearly $119,000 in improper overtime paid to inspectors from the California State Athletic Commission
Those overpayments to 18 different inspectors included amounts ranging from $666 to $25,257. KCRA 3 asked state officials how they could miss such massive overpayments.
The understanding that we had was because these individuals are state employees, that we required to pay them premium time, which is time and a half, said Russ Heimerich, a spokesman with the California Department of Consumer Affairs, which oversees the State Athletic Commission.
Heimerich said his department asked the auditor to look into the suspicious payments. He told KCRA 3 the inspectors are now required to reimburse the state for the overpayments.
So, reading this summary, you would think that the audit was proper and that the conclusions raised from it actually have merit. As the case with all California politics, you would be wrong in assuming that the opinions & conclusions raised by the audit are accurate and with merit. Theyre not.
Were about to explain to you why the legal opinions stated in the BSA report on CSAC fraud charges are
The BSA report, which can be read here in PDF form, covers the time period of April 2011 to June 2012. From page 17 of the report:
Twenty-four of the athletic inspectors the commission employed also held full-time positions with the State either at the commission or at other state agencies.
Although the commission paid these athletic inspectors overtime because of advice it obtained from the Department of Personnel Administration (Personnel Administration), Personnel Administration based its advice on inaccurate information provided by Consumer Affairs.
In addition, we found that the commissions hiring process often led it to hire athletic inspectors who had other full-time state jobs. As a result, the States costs increased because the commission paid $29,051 more in overtime than it would have if it hired individuals not employed full-time by the State.
Lets put this into perspective here. You have 24 athletic inspectors who are full-time state employees. The audit report claims that 18 of them were over-paid time-and-a-half (overtime) as state intermittent employees during their work as AIs.
The 18 intermittent athletic inspectors are full-time employees at the commission and other state agencies. These individuals voluntarily applied for the intermittent athletic inspector position: Their other full-time positions with the State did not require them to apply to be athletic inspectors.
OK, so notice that they are going only after inspectors who are full-time state employees as opposed to going after AIs like non-full-time state employee Sid Segovia, who claimed over $40,000 for salary last year. Got it. The fact that the focus is strictly on full-time state employees is a red flag here.
The reason Sacramento is so paranoid about full-time state employees working as athletic inspectors is because state law explicitly states that these inspectors should be paid time-and-a-half as intermittent state employees. The Department of Consumer Affairs and the Bureau of State Audits has no way to refute this legally in a courtroom on the merits. However, this has not stopped DCA & now the Bureau of State Audits from intentionally muddying the waters with garbage legal opinions about what full-time state employees who work as athletic inspectors should be getting paid.
On October 4th, we wrote an extensive article about Sacramentos new scam called Legal policy changes at the California State Athletic Commission ignite an internal uproar. Read the article if you havent already done so. In the article, we destroyed the phony legal opinion that DCA is now relying on to not pay full-time state employees (working as athletic inspectors) time-and-a-half.
In short - DCA has been paying full-time state employees time-and-a-half because its the law. They managed to weasel a faulty legal opinion from a state agency claiming that the 1938 FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) is the ceiling, not the floor as to what salary rights a full-time state employee has as an athletic inspector. The phony legal opinion claims that since working as an athletic inspector is voluntary and/or sporadic work, the AIs shouldnt get paid time-and-a-half. What the fraudulent legal opinion never stated was actual California law code or case law to back up their assertions. Why? The FLSA rules & regulations are a FLOOR and not a CEILING when it comes to state labor law. If California state law on the books offers better pay & benefits for state employees, then state law takes precedent over FLSA rules & regulations. Even legal opinions from various state agencies in California reviewing FLSA and its application to California business practices back up this assertion by citing
case law.
Why does this matter? Because todays Bureau of State Audit report pushes the notion that the October legal opinion about not paying full-time state employees (who work as athletic inspectors) is one that must be followed by the California State Athletic Commission. Newsflash to BSA & DCA: your phony legal opinion that youre basing your actions on would not hold up in a court of law, period. Youre violating state labor laws here.
The fact that such powerful Sacramento agencies are basing their audits on fraudulent legal opinions absolutely shreds their credibility here.
In an attempt to justify the charges of fraud by 18 athletic inspectors, BSAs audit report shows us the blame game.
In 2010 Consumer Affairs requested an opinion from Personnel Administration about whether the commission was required to pay overtime to athletic inspectors it employed on an intermittent basis who were also full-time state employees. Personnel Administration advised Consumer Affairs in March 2010 that the commission should pay overtime to these athletic inspectors. However, Personnel Administration based its advice in part on inaccurate information that Consumer Affairs provided to it. Specifically, Consumer Affairs stated that athletic inspectors regularly worked at two to four events each month. As discussed previously, the athletic inspector time sheets we reviewed during a two-year period did not support this statement. When we interviewed the Personnel Administration attorney who advised Consumer Affairs, the attorney stated that she relied upon the facts provided by Consumer Affairs when she formed her advice and did not conduct any additional work to determine the accuracy of the information. Thus, Personnel Administrations advice was based on inaccurate information and did not support the commissions payment of overtime to the athletic inspectors.
The BSA report ends by claiming that none of the athletic inspectors working for CSAC should get paid overtime in the future. This assertion is without any legal merit whatsoever and is a recipe for legal disaster down the road. Its completely dishonest hackery by state officials. They only care about the public relations aspect of what is happening at the commission as opposed to actually tackling the real problems that CSAC is facing. When Andy Foster took over as Executive Officer, I was very bearish on his ability to fully clean up the mess in Sacramento because of the behavior & actions of the politicians & bureaucrats in charge. This audit report by the BSA only strengthens my assertion even more.
Shameful. Theres so much to investigate with CSAC and instead Sacramento has decided to break state labor law in an attempt to cover their asses so that they dont have to address the actual problems that the commission is facing right now.
One other point that should be made the states investigators focused heavily on the inspector timesheets. Who is in charge of booking the athletic inspectors for events? Che Guevara. Who is responsible for the timesheets? Che Guevara. The BSA is claiming that 18 athletic inspectors were fraudulently paid overtime. If you are making claims of this nature, then you better terminate Che Guevara immediately. If you dont fire him, then youre backing up his actions as the chief athletic inspector for CSAC. You cant have it both ways, Sacramento.
