US Mid-Term Election Campaign Reader
by Charles Lemos, Mon Aug 09, 2010 at 04:21:41 AM EDT
They're off and running! And so is our coverage of the 2010 Mid-Term Elections. Here are stories from around the country on races for Federal, state and local offices.
In Connecticut, Lamont Tacks to the Center
The New York Times reports on how Ned Lamont, the Connecticut businessman who won an insurgent campaign against Senator Joe Lieberman by running left with his anti-war stance, is tacking to the center in his bid to win the Democratic nomination for Governor in the Constitution state. The primary is Tuesday.
As Mr. Lamont gears up for the Democratic primary for governor on Tuesday , progressives are grumbling that he has talked too much about tax breaks and streamlining red tape, and not enough about issues dear to labor unions and government watchdogs.
Modeling himself after Lowell P. Weicker Jr., a former Republican who became an independent, Mr. Lamont has vowed to shake up Hartford, and even borrowed Mr. Weicker's "Nobody's Man But Yours" slogan from his successful 1990 race for governor.
And some bloggers who had thrown themselves behind Mr. Lamont's Senate bid have been lukewarm or indifferent. When Mr. Lamont announced his candidacy in February, using the word "business" more than a dozen times in his speech, My Left Nutmeg, a liberal Web site, ran the headline: "Ned Lamont announces for Governor."
"If Lamont's supposed hard-core supporters cannot rouse themselves to cheer his announcement, complete with fawning video, how in the wide world of sports is he supposed to win this thing?" one blogger wrote.
The 2010 version of Ned Lamont offers yet another striking sign of how a rough national landscape for Democrats is influencing politics at the local level.
By repositioning himself as a business-friendly centrist, Mr. Lamont is betting that liberals will give him a pass, if begrudgingly, because Democrats are desperate to capture the State Capitol for the first time since 1986.
The President Heads to Texas
President Obama heads to Austin and Dallas on Monday where the main event is a Democratic National Committee luncheon expected to raise $750,000 to $1 million. Tickets start at $5,000 per couple. The Texas Democratic Party will receive $250,000 to help build the party in the Lone Star State. The Dallas Morning News has more on the President's visit to Texas.
The political realities for Texas Democrats are stark – in part because backlash against Obama and his policies has fueled Republican energy. Democrats had hoped for years that by 2010, demographic shifts would help them regain a statewide office or reclaim the state House, but both goals remain major challenges.
The lunch in Austin will be followed by a speech at the University of Texas. Afterwards, the President flies to Dallas where he will attend a fundraiser at the Highland Park home of attorney Russell Budd and his wife, Dorothy. The event is to raise money for the DSCC.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill White has opted to steer clear of the President whose popularity in Texas leaves much to be desired. As of late July, Rasmussen finds that 63 percent of Texans disapprove of Obama's performance (with 56 percent "strongly" disapproving). The Austin American-Statesman looks at the calculated risk that Bill White is taking by staying away from Obama and finds there's really not much downside.
In Florida, Tea Party Movement Raising Millions for Conservatives
The Orlando Sentinel has a story on the financial rewards that the ultra-conservative Republican candidates are reaping from their involvement in the Tea Party Movement. Allen West has raised nearly $3.5 million for his rematch with Rep. Ron Klein in the Florida Twenty-second Congressional District. Marco Rubio has harnessed Tea Party support to help rack up $11.6 million of campaign funds in his bid to win the Senate seat.
An Palin Endorsement in Maryland
It's been win most and lose a couple for Sarah Palin in terms of her endorsements this electoral season, but the Washington Post has a story that underscores the value of a Palin endorsement for lesser known candidates.
Just a few months ago, Brian Murphy's friends would roam the halls of the Maryland State House, practically begging reporters there to go outside for news conferences by the unknown Republican candidate for governor.
Last week, a parade of those scribes lined up to see him. What changed things was a single unexpected moment: Sarah Palin's endorsement Wednesday of the like-minded 33-year-old business investor from Montgomery County, who is making his first bid for public office against former Maryland governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. in the GOP primary.
"What this campaign has always needed is a megaphone," Murphy said, "and Sarah's endorsement gave that to us."
In the 72 hours after Palin's announcement, Murphy braced for a surge in campaign contributions, particularly from out-of-state Palin supporters. The endorsement became the talk of the political blogosphere. Murphy appeared on almost every Maryland TV and radio station. And he was summoned to New York for an appearance Friday night on a Fox Business channel show on which a panel of guests nodded as Murphy argued that business leaders are best suited to run the state.
Yet as the week ended, the debate in Maryland politics seemed to center not on whether Murphy could win but on how long his newfound fame might last -- and what Palin was thinking.
Georgia GOP Gubernatorial Runoff on Tuesday
Congressman Nathan Deal and one-time Secretary of State Karen Handel square off on Tuesday in Georgia to decide who the GOP gubernatorial nominee is. The winner will face Roy Barnes in the Fall. Mike Huckabee is backing Deal while Sarah Palin backing Handel, so there's a test of potential presidential candidates as well. The campaign between Deal and Handel has been rather acrimonious reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Handel called Deal a "corrupt relic of Washington" meanwhile Deal said Handel's campaign lacks substance. While Handel has said she'll back Deal if he is the winner, Deal hasn't committed to backing her if she wins. "It's going to take some time for us to heal the wounds that have been inflicted here," Deal said. Here's hoping those wounds are fatal, politically-speaking.
Senior Vote Pivotal in Washington State
The Seattle Times looks at the role that seniors are likely to play in the mid-term elections:
The 2008 general election drew 91 percent of Washington voters age 65 and older, compared with 68 percent of voters younger than 25. The gap was even wider in that year's primary, which drew 72 percent of senior voters and 18 percent of those younger than 25.
Midterm elections, such as this year's, typically draw fewer voters than a presidential election, magnifying the effect of the senior vote.
That could prove worrisome for Democrats, considering that Barack Obama won the White House in 2008 with the support of 66 percent of voters younger than 30, but only 45 percent of those 65 and older, according to Edison Research, which conducts exit polls for national news networks.
Proposition 19 in California Not Drawing Big Donors
The Los Angeles Times reports that many big-money donors such as George Soros, who played a major role in the state's pathbreaking 1996 medical marijuana initiative, have so far refrained from contributing to Proposition 19, he marijuana legalization initiative on the November ballot. The LA Times article cites that donors are shying away because they believe that Prop 19 isn't likely to pass but a July 26 poll from Public Policy Polling (pdf) found that support for the initiative at 52 percent and opposition at 36 percent.
The Santa Monica-based, Drug Policy Research Center, part of the Rand Corporation, predicted the cost of marijuana, which runs between $300 and $450 per ounce, could plunge to about $38 by eliminating the expense of compensating suppliers for the challenges of operating in the black market.
The report noted that it was impossible to predict tax revenues from the initiative, which leaves that decision up to individual cities and counties. Based on a statewide $50 per ounce tax proposed in a legalization bill introduced by Sen. Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco), the report said state tax revenues could range from $650 million to $1.49 billion.
"California voters and legislators face considerable uncertainty because it is very difficult to estimate how much more marijuana will be consumed in the state or how the change will affect tax revenues, criminal-justice costs and healthcare costs," the study concludes. The 54-page report, with 14 pages of footnotes, is called Altered State? (pdf).
Reid Hits Angle over Separation of Church and State
In Nevada, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is attacking the Tea Party-backed Sharron Angle over her views on the separation of church and state. From the Las Vegas Review-Journal:
Reid spokesman Jon Summers said there is nothing wrong with politicians speaking about their faith, although the incumbent's campaign has spit out a stream of press releases criticizing Angle and asked donors last week to send Reid money to help stop "this dangerous radical in her tracks!"
"Angle doesn't believe there is a separation of church and state," Summers said. "She is trying to legislate her faith onto others, and the comments that she made on the radio make that very clear."
Asked about Reid's faith-based outreach, Summers said the goal is "to increase the dialogue with this important constituency, just as we do with other constituencies, including the business, labor and environmental communities, among others."
"That outreach has included people of many faiths, not just his own."

Dawson Community College alumnus Shelby Lindley was recently named head men's basketball coach and sports information director at Central Wyoming College. He was originally hired as an assistant for Rustler basketball this fall but was promoted when coach Curtis Condie resigned in October.
Originally from Wellsville, Utah Lindley was a member of the DCC men's baseball team where, as a sophomore in 2007, he achieved Mon-Dak first team pitcher and utility player under former Buccaneer head coach Brent Diegel.
Lindley was an excellent athlete and has a history of working with excellent coaches and producing terrific teams.
From DCC and the Buccaneers he went on to Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho. There he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Recreation and Sports Management. Joining the athletic staff Lindley focused on coaching basketball at Nazarene. The Crusaders built a 33-25 record and logged their first NCAA postseason win ever. Lindley gained added expertise working under hall of fame basketball coach Tim Hills as well as Brandon Rinta and Steve Gosar of the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls.
This past season Lindley spent at Idaho State University where he became the graduate assistant/director of basketball operations. At ISU, he worked for Deane Martin and Joe O'Brien. O'Brien has won numerous awards and three NJCAA National Championships.
Lindley rounded out his past two summers with the Idaho Select AAU basketball program as the head coach for the U-16 team.
"Shelby was always a great student during his time at DCC" said biology instructor Kevin Pena. "It is wonderful to see how someone can use their time at DCC to build towards a future of success. It will be fun to see Shelby apply his work ethic to this challenge, and the fact that Central Wyoming College competes in Region IX with Dawson Community College only adds to the fun!"
Central Wyoming will battle the Bucs and their long time Coach Don Mast on the hardwood twice this season. Their first game against Central is away, January 19th in Riverton, WY. They meet again at home in Glendive February 20th in Toepke Center at 7:30 p.m.
Coach Mast has spent 31 years as a basketball coach with a career record of 553 wins and 344 losses. His record as DCC coach is 398 wins and 257 losses. As coach of the Buccaneers Mast has the great distinction of being the longest tenured men's college coach in the state of Montana.
Don't miss the action this season as the Bucs take on Dakota College in their second home game November 28th.

Binghamton Republican Mayoral Candidate Kicks Off Meet and Greet Series
10/12/2013 (Updated 11:07:59 PM)Binghamton Republican Mayoral Candidate, Rich David continued his campaign, Saturday. He invited residents of the First Ward to a Meet and Greet at the Downs Ave. Tavern.
David met with people from four to six Saturday afternoon. He told Fox 40 that many of the issues they were concerned about were crime, tax increases and quality of life in the neighborhoods.
"One of the things that I hear at every term is the residents cannot wait for a change in administration. They can not wait for this mayor to leave office and for a new vision and direction and change to occur in city hall. And that's one of the things I plan to do on day one," David said.
David said that the meeting was the first in a series of meet and greets he plans to host throughout the city.

Tuition & Financial Aid:
The tuition is incredibly affordable. The financial aid leaves something to be desired. The financial aid office requires enrollment verification 3 separate times throughout the semester, payment is also distributed throughout the semester as well. In many students' opinions, including myself, this is a waste of time and is incredibly inefficient, as many of our courses are online anyway. This happens, as it has been explained to me, because they have a high default rate with payments after financial aid has been distributed. Not my problem. It has become my problem, though, and there are ways to do things in which the people who are benefiting from financial aid do not have to suffer based off of past mistakes. It would be quite simple to construct a list of financial aid students and send emails to the instructors they are taking classes from to verify with just an attached pdf. It would save paper too.
Career Services:
Although the main degrees that come out of the Jackson Campus of CWC are Nursing and Culinary Arts, most people have already placed themselves in the positions they need to be in to further their careers. Those positions being CNA's at the hospital and Sous Chefs at local restaurants. The idea of a career center at our tiny little remote campus would be not only a waste of space, but completely unnecessary. That being said, we do have a jobs board where local businesses are welcome to post any opportunities they have available.
Student Body:
Being a pre-nursing student, all of the classes I take are very specific; anatomy, physiology, biology, etc. Because many of the students are taking the same courses many semesters in a row and with the combined interaction required with labs, we all have become very close. Considering it is a very small campus, these classes are only offered once a semester and they require a lot of studying. The nursing program is very competitive too; only 8 people get in per year. With all these factors combined, the students bond fairly quickly out of pure desire to succeed. And we succeed together. It's very positive.
I am attending a remote campus of Central Wyoming College in Jackson, WY. This unique way to attend school has improved my desire to not only attend every class, but strive for as many A's as possible. Most classes are offered at a progressive arts building in the center of town and the staff is always available for any questions and just random chats too. The staff, specifically, has encouraged my growth with more "high-fives" than I know what to do with. This personalized experience also helps me to remain accountable for my goals and my future. I highly recommend them as well as their expertise.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
FAFSA was a hassle, the Financial Aid office lost some of my paperwork right before the semester started. However, the Hathaway scholarship that was provided to me by the college made it a little more tolerable.
Academic Experience:
Because I only switched to this major at the beginning of this semester, I cannot accurately review my experience... yet.
Academic Experience:
Professors are extremely entertaining and deliver material with unshackled energy. The class registration process is simple and online. The work assigned to the students is relevant to their area of study and prevalent in every day life.
Academic Flexibility:
The curriculum is flexible for the most part. However, during the spring semester, the number and variety of classes available dwindles.
Student Body:
The majority of CWC's students come from a rural background. The student body isn't as diverse as I would have hoped, however, there are small cliques among the student body that are difficult to ignore.
Campus Resources:
The arts center is colossal, with two theaters and a gallery. The library offers areas for group study, individual study, a computer lab, and has a large selection of material.
Campus Resources:
There have been several times during the semester that the server went down, Making logging into online classes impossible.
Because I have never been to another college, I cannot answer this question.
Overall Experience:
I enjoy CWC immensely. The size of the school is what makes it great. It is not so small that it feels empty, but there are not so many people that you feel like just another number. The instructors are extremely personable and willing to help.
Online Courses:
I suggest only taking online courses if you are going to MAKE yourself sit down and do work. With online classes, it is easy to wait to work until the last minute, which will eventually hurt you severely.
Student Body:
I really get along with many students in my class
Academic Flexibility:
Most all of my classes transfered
Academic Experience:
There is a ton of work to do, keeps me very busy.
Academic Experience:
I have the same teacher for my science classes, she has a lot going on. Sometimes I think she's too busy.
Campus Resources:
We do not have these at our campus.
Campus Resources:
We can use the computers at any time.
Its location is very nice.
Online Courses:
I really liked my online courses.
Overall Experience:
I like the small classes and personal time with each fellow student.
Career Services:
They do a great job.
Career Services:
After leaving school, it is always hard to find a job in the field you studied, when somewhere around half of people don't even get a job in their major. The teachers have been great about letting us know when job opportunities come up.

Types of Headphones:
The particular needs of the listener determine the choice of headphone. The need for portability indicates smaller, lighter headphones but can mean a compromise in fidelity. Headphones used as part of a home hi-fi do not have the same design constraints and can be larger and heavier. Generally, headphone form factors can be divided into four separate categories: circumaural, supra-aural, earbud, and in-ear.
- Circumaural: Circumaural headphones have large pads that surround the outer ear.Circumaural headphones (sometimes called full size headphones) have circular or ellipsoid earpads that encompass the ears. Because these headphones completely surround the ear, circumaural headphones can be designed to fully seal against the head to attenuate any intrusive external noise. Because of their size, circumaural headphones can be heavy and there are some sets which weigh over 500 grams (1 lb). Good headband and earpad design is required to reduce discomfort resulting from weight
- Supra-aural: A pair of supra-aural headphones.Supra-aural headphones have pads that sit on top of the ears, rather than around them. They were commonly bundled with personal stereos during the 1980s. This type of headphone generally tends to be smaller and more lightweight than circumaural headphones, resulting in less attenuation of outside noise
- In-ear headphones: Earbuds / earphonesEarbuds or earphones are headphones of a much smaller size that are placed directly outside of the ear canal, but without fully enveloping it. They are generally inexpensive and are favored for their portability and convenience. Due to their inability to provide any isolation they are often used at higher volumes in order to drown out noise from the user's surroundings, which increases the risk of hearing-loss. During the 1990s and 2000s, earbuds became a common type bundled with personal music devices
- In-ear Monitors: ain article: In-ear monitors extend into the ear canal, providing isolation from outside noise.In-ear monitors (also known as IEMs or canalphones) are earphones that are inserted directly into the ear canal. Canalphones offer portability similar to earbuds, and also act as earplugs to block out environmental noise. There are two main types of IEMs: universal and custom. Universal canalphones provide one or more stock sleeve size(s) to fit various ear canals, which are commonly made out of silicone rubber, elastomer, or foam, for noise isolation. Custom canalphones are fitted to the ears of each individual. Castings of the ear canals are made and the manufacturer uses the castings to create custom-molded silicone rubber or elastomer plugs that provide added comfort and noise isolation. Because of the individualized labor involved, custom IEMs are more expensive than universal IEMs and resell value is very low as they are unlikely to fit other people
- Headset: A typical example of a headset used for voice chats.A headset is a headphone combined with a microphone. Headsets provide the equivalent functionality of a telephone handset with hands-free operation. The most common uses for headsets are in console or PC gaming, Call centres and other telephone-intensive jobs and also for personal use at the computer to facilitate comfortable simultaneous conversation and typing. Headsets are made with either a single-earpiece (mono) or a double-earpiece (mono to both ears or stereo). The microphone arm of headsets is either an external microphone type where the microphone is held in front of the user's mouth, or a voicetube type where the microphone is housed in the earpiece and speech reaches it by means of a hollow tube

- Cubs unsure when Zambrano will return
- Silva ejected in second for arguing call
- Piniella ready to enjoy days off in break
LOS ANGELES -- Derrek Lee did not start Sunday and Cubs manager Lou Piniella is hoping an extra day of rest pays dividends in the second half for the first baseman.
And his left fielder, Alfonso Soriano. And his third baseman, Aramis Ramirez.
Piniella said this is the first time Soriano has not fought him when the Cubs manager suggests a breather.
"If these guys would allow me to rest them a little, we could function more and use our bench," Piniella said.
But time off won't be the key factor in the second half. Both Lee and Ramirez need to rebound from a disappointing first half if the Cubs have any chance in the National League Central.
Lee was batting .233, although he's hitting .253 since June 16 with three homers and 10 RBIs in 23 games. Ramirez has been hotter, going 12-for-25 on this week-long road trip with four homers and nine RBIs.
"They're the key," Piniella said of the pair. "I've always hated to say one player, two players because it's a team. But you know when they do things offensively, our team responds.
"Ramirez has shown some really good signs on this trip and Derrek has done it, not on a consistent basis but he has shown signs, also," Piniella said. "I think the break will do both players good as I think it will do for the rest of our team."
Plus, Piniella said he feels the two will be more accustomed to hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo's approach. Jaramillo is the Cubs' third hitting coach in the last year.
"I've talked to Rudy at length and he feels we'll have a much better second half hitting the baseball," Piniella said. "If that's the case, I think you'll see us winning with more consistency."
Cubs unsure when Zambrano will return
LOS ANGELES -- The Cubs have yet to get a progress report on pitcher Carlos Zambrano and have no timetable for his return in the second half.
Cubs manager Lou Piniella said Sunday he hoped to hear something early this week from general manager Jim Hendry, who was in Mesa, Ariz., to watch some of the Minor Leaguers.
Zambrano is on the restricted list as he undergoes treatment for anger issues. He was suspended for three days after a tantrum in the dugout June 25 in which he accused his teammates of not playing well behind him.
When Zambrano does return, he will need to pitch at one of the Cubs' Minor League teams to get in shape. Pitching coach Larry Rothschild has a plan in place for whenever the team gets the go-ahead.
"We're still in limbo as far as that's concerned," Piniella said of Zambrano's return.
Silva ejected in second for arguing call
LOS ANGELES -- Chicago's Carlos Silva was ejected from Sunday's game in the second inning for arguing a close play at first base in which the pitcher appeared to be correct.
The Dodgers had taken a 3-0 lead in the first on James Loney's three-run homer off Silva. In the second, Los Angeles loaded the bases and Matt Kemp hit a sacrifice fly. Andre Ethier was intentionally walked and Loney then hit a grounder toward Xavier Nady at first.
Nady picked up the ball and appeared to beat Loney to the bag, but first-base umpire Brian Runge called Loney safe.
Silva had run over to first and threw up his arms in disgust at the call. Runge then tossed him.
The Cubs right-hander was questionable for Sunday's game because of some discomfort in his right calf.
On Saturday, umpire Jerry Layne ejected manager Lou Piniella after he argued a close play at first base that replays also appeared to support the Cubs manager. Layne was behind home plate on Sunday.
Piniella ready to enjoy days off in break
LOS ANGELES -- Sunday was the last meeting of the regular season between the Cubs and Dodgers, and it could be the last time managers Lou Piniella and Joe Torre square off in their respective dugouts.
Piniella is in the last year of his contract and his future beyond this season is uncertain.
"Let me tell you this, I played until I was almost 41 years old," Piniella said. "The day I took off my uniform, I never wanted to put it back on as a player. I never wanted to go up there and hit again, never wanted to go play the outfield again.
"When I do that as a manager, it'll be the same thing," he said. "I'll never want to manage another game and that'll be the end of it. No, I don't get nostalgic. I want to do the best I can humanly do for this team. I've been doing this for so long. Things have really changed since I started managing 23 years ago."
Piniella will spend the All-Star break in Chicago with his wife and youngest son.
"We're going to enjoy three off-days not thinking about baseball," he said.

CINCINNATI (AP) - Strong storms knocked out power to thousands of customers in southwestern Ohio on Saturday.
Duke Energy reported some 22,000 without power in Hamilton County, though that number had been cut in half by late evening. The National Weather Service says the storm dropped more than an inch of rain and wind gusts up to 60 mph.
Two southbound lanes of Interstate 75 were briefly closed because of the storms.
Additional storms are expected into Sunday.

The committee tasked with choosing Florida Atlantic University's next president turned down state Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater on Friday.
Former U.S. Senator George LeMieux and two academics were named as finalists for the job.
The surprising decision ended days of speculation over Gov. Rick Scott's choice to replace Atwater in the Florida Cabinet.
"As I said to my staff about accepting an invitation to apply, my passion for serving as Florida's CFO and my commitment to working with my great colleagues for years to come remains undiminished," Atwater wrote in a statement Friday.
The FAU selection committee had doubts about including a politician among the finalists.
"The perception out there might be that this is a politically arranged deal," said member Dick Schmidt, president and CEO of Schmidt Companies.
Schmidt said an experienced politician would bring "baggage" to the university, and might struggle to win over the faculty and philanthropic community.
But FAU Trustee Abdol Moabery said experience in Tallahassee would be an asset.
"For 20 years, I have watched all the funding go to UF [the University of Florida] and FSU [Florida State University], and later USF [the University of South Florida] and UCF [the University of Central Florida], and frankly I'm tired of it," Moabery said. "We do need a powerhouse. We need someone who knows this Legislature."
The committee seemed dazzled by LeMieux, who rattled off statistics about FAU and similar universities. One member of the selection committee called the session with LeMieux "the best interview we had in two days."
"He had an outstanding vision for how to bring the university forward," said Ronald Nyhan, an associate professor and president of the Faculty Senate. "He certainly had done a great deal of homework and had a great deal of knowledge about what this university is all about."
Among other ideas, LeMieux said he would expand the medical school. He proposed building a research park in Jupiter, as well as hospitals in Jupiter and Boca Raton.
"I want your medical school to be in the top 50 in the country," he said.
LeMieux also offered suggestions for increasing funding while keeping tuition affordable.
"Take a page from what University of Miami is doing to attract international students," he said, noting that international students pay higher tuition than Florida residents.
Committee member Wendy Link conceded that Atwater did not have the best interview. Other members said he had provided vague answers to their questions.
The other two finalists are John Kelly, vice president for economic development at Clemson University, and Christopher Earley, dean of the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University.
Committee members described Kelly as a decisive leader who could engage the entire community. They praised Earley's enthusiasm and international experience, but were critical of his long-winded answers.
The three finalists have been invited to tour the university and participate in forums next week. A final decision will follow.
Herald/Times staff writers Tia Mitchell and Michael Van Sickler contributed to this report. Contact Kathleen McGrory at email@example.com.

Microsoft's federated identity platform passed its first SAML 2.0 interoperability test with favorable marks, signaling the end to the vendor's standoff against the protocol.
The eight-week multivendor interoperability workout conducted by the Liberty Alliance and the Kantara Initiative also resulted in passing marks for two other first-time entrants -- SAP and Siemens. Return testers Entrust, IBM, Novell, and Ping Identity also passed. Results were announced Wednesday.
[ Related: Microsoft's single sign-on platform was formerly named Geneva. | Learn how to secure your systems with Roger Grimes' Security Adviser blog and newsletter, both from InfoWorld. ]
11 security companies to watch
"The Liberty Interoperable testing was a great opportunity to verify that Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0 is interoperable with others' SAML 2.0 implementations. This should give our customers confidence that their federation deployments using ADFS will 'just work,'" says Conrad Bayer, product unit manager for federated identity at Microsoft.
In the past, Microsoft has been dismissive of the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), a standard protocol for exchanging authentication and authorization data between and among security checkpoints, preferring the WS-Federation and other protocols it helped develop. The company previously supported the SAML token, but never the transport profiles of the protocol.
"It is significant that Microsoft participated given their previous stance on the SAML protocol," says Gerry Gebel, an analyst with the Burton Group. "For the first product version that supports SAML, they have covered the core bases."
Microsoft's interoperability testing focused on SAML's Service Provider Lite, Identity Provider Lite and eGovernment profiles. The company says it plans to support other SAML profiles based on demand.
The interoperability event featured the largest group of participants ever for the testing, which has been run twice previously. In addition, it was the first test to include an international group to test the eGovernment SAML 2.0 profile v1.5. The test featured the United States, New Zealand and Denmark.
"The fact that we were able to put so many new implementations through a full matrix, rigorous interoperability test speaks to the maturity of the SAML 2 protocol," says Brett McDowell, executive director of the Kantara Initiative. "And it is not just implementation; there is a tremendous amount of deployments."
"Full matrix" testing means all participants must test against each other. The test was conducted over the Internet from points around the globe using real-world scenarios between service providers and identity providers as defined by the SAML 2.0 specification.

HOLLYWOOD (FOX 11/CNS) - The influential alternative rock band Jane's Addiction received the 2,509th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today.
Drummers John Densmore of The Doors and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters joined band members Perry Farrell, Eric Avery, Stephen Perkins and Dave Navarro at the ceremony in front of Playmates of Hollywood at 6436 Hollywood Blvd.
"We would see movies on this very street when I was a kid growing up, and I never imagined that I would be a part of this legacy with this band," Navarro said.
The band was formed in Los Angeles in 1985. Farrell, its founder and singer, found Avery, the bassist, who then brought on Perkins, the drummer. Navarro was chosen after many guitarists auditioned.
Jane's Addiction became a sensation on the Los Angeles club scene and a staple on the Sunset Strip. It was one of the first bands to emerge from the early 1990s alternative rock movement to gain mainstream media attention and commercial success in the United States.
Jane's Addiction broke up in 1991 and reunited briefly in 1997 with Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers filling in on bass.
The band reunited again in 2001, first touring with Martyn LeNoble on bass. Following the tour, the group recorded the album "Strays" with Chris Chaney on bass.
The band continues to tour, including performing last week at San Manuel Casino in Highland.
Some of Jane's Addiction most popular songs include "Ocean Size," "Stop!," "Had A Dad," "Been Caught Stealing," "Three Days," "Classic Girl," "Ripple," "Jane Says" and "Superhero."
The band is named in honor of Farrell's housemate, Jane Bainter, its muse and inspiration.

A Hickory Grove woman told deputies that someone shot her female alpaca late last week.
The incident was reported on Saturday at 1:50 p.m. on the 1600 block of Walnut Grove Road, according to the report from the York County Sheriff's Office.
Lynn Burgess Faulkner, of Hickory Grove, told deputies that she thinks someone shot it while deer hunting from the Worth Mountain Game Management Property.
The alpaca was in Faulkner's field laying beside the fence that joins the game management property.
Deputies found a bullet hole in the top left corner of the alpaca's shoulder.
Faulkner said the animal was pregnant.
The alpaca was valued at $10,000.

KIRKSVILLE, Mo. (AP) - A northeast Missouri man is
accused of killing and dismembering a man, then hurling his victim's
arms at witnesses.
The Adair County prosecutor's office has charged
49-year-old Paul R. Potter, of Kirksville, with second-degree murder,
second-degree arson and tampering with a motor vehicle.
Police have not released the victim's name.
Police officers arrested Potter on Sunday after
officers responding to a call of a vehicle fire saw him throw the arms
toward bystanders. Police said fires also were burning in two
apartments, and that the dismembered body was inside one of them.
Potter is being held on $1 million bond.
A public defender assigned to Potter's case didn't immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday.
Kirksville is about 200 miles northwest of St. Louis.

The talk continues to filter out of the Big Apple, as multiple members of the New York Giants made headlines toward the end of the week.
First, there was WR Mario Manningham insulting Patriots CB Julian Edelman and suggesting that the Giants would try to target him during the Super Bowl.
"I hope he's out there when we play them," the Boston Herald reported him as saying. "This ain't regular season. This ain't your real position, so we're going to try to expose you. It's all or nothing."
The Patriots finished 31st in passing yards surrendered per game and 30th in passing yards allowed per play in 2011, although they did finish seventh in interception rate. New England surrendered 282 yards through the air in its victory over Baltimore on Sunday, also tallying an interception, and held Denver to just 108 passing yards on Jan. 14, both significant decreases from its season average.
The talk continued when CB Corey Webster suggested in a New York Daily News article that he is in the same class as Jets CB Darrell Revis.
"I think I'm great," Webster said. "I think I'm the best thing out there. I don't think I'm second to nobody."
The Giants' cornerback also questioned whether Patriots WR Wes Welker was really that good, or whether he was just a beneficiary of QB Tom Brady's talent. Webster may well have to cover Welker during the Super Bowl, although the last time the Giants played the Patriots, he was matched up against WR Deion Branch, while CB Aaron Ross lined up opposite Welker. Last week, the Giants did choose to line Webster up against the opposition's best wideout, matching him up against 49ers WR Michael Crabtree. Webster excelled in that role, limiting Crabtree to one catch and three yards receiving.
Webster wasn't the only defensive player on Big Blue talking, as DE Osi Umenyiora addressed his long-running beef with Patriots OT Matt Light.
"I don't know what it is that he does, but it's something that he's doing that really gets under my skin," Umenyiora was quoted as saying Friday on Comcast SportsNet New England. "Because I'm not that type of player, you know what I mean? He's probably the only person I've ever fought on a football field."
The report mentioned two previous fights between Umenyiora and Light, which is unusual, according to Giants DE Justin Tuck, since Umenyiora "is not a fighter."
Umenyiora hinted that he might try to goad Light into a fight during the Super Bowl.
"I think he's more important to his team than I am to mine right now," Umenyiora said. "So, if we can both fight, we both get kicked out, and (DE Jason Pierre-Paul) and Tuck will have a field day."
Patriots RB Kevin Faulk dismissed the importance of Umenyiora's comments, mentioning that Umenyiora called Light a dirty player before New York and New England last met in the Super Bowl.
"He tried to pull the same thing the last time," Faulk said of Umenyiora, "so it ain't relevant to us right now. We're going to play football. Whatever he's talking about, that's (expletive)."

The Department of Ocean, Earth, & Atmospheric Sciences acquires and disseminates knowledge of the earth system, including the relationships among the biological, chemical, geological and physical components of our planet. It is critical that we understand both natural and human-induced processes that change this system so we are prepared to meet present and future challenges. With curiosity, creativity, scholarship, and respect as cornerstones of our philosophy, we strive to increase scientific knowledge and literacy through excellence in research, education, and service to the Commonwealth of Virginia and society in general.
The Department of Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences has evolved over the past decade to have an expertise in ocean margin and coastal system processes and coupled quantitative models. In this context, the coastal system comprises all the processes, past and present, that occur within and between the air, water, soil and rock of the coastal plain, continental shelf and slope, and focus on coupled quantitative models that link chemical, biological, geological, hydrological and physical processes in numerical and analytical models at regional to global scales. Given the local environment (estuaries, aquifers, coastal waters) and human demands (commercial ports, military operations , fisheries and recreation), it is appropriate that this type of focus has evolved. While research interests remain broad to maximize opportunities, we are taking advantage of our location to develop a long-term line of research that will be recognized internationally. Similarly, our education programs utilize the local environment to provide students a unique experience in the classroom and in the field.
The graduate program in OEAS draws from the strength of our diverse faculty and their active research programs that span the globe. Graduate students have the opportunity to take part research projects among a broad suite of field sites from the local waters of the Chesapeake Bay to the polar oceans.
Many of our faculty take advantage of the nearby opportunities in Chesapeake Bay. OEAS operates the R/V Fay Slover, a 55 foot research vessel that is used for both undergraduate and graduate research in the Chesapeake Bay and beyond. Our small boat program also provides us will the ability to conduct work in the extremely shallow water coastal environments that are characteristic of our region. Check out our Alumni page to see where our Graduates currently are!
Students in the ocean and earth science program focus on the global systems that control environmental conditions. They also learn to develop solutions to complex environmental problems by working in multidisciplinary teams. All majors in the department complete courses in the basic sciences and mathematics, core courses in earth systems science, and a capstone field research experience. In addition, students complete a suite of specialty courses according to one of the following emphases.
Oceanography Emphasis
The oceanography emphasis is designed for students considering graduate work or employment in the pure and applied fields of oceanography. Students select specialty courses in one of these subdisciplines: biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, or physical oceanography.
Geology Emphasis
The geology emphasis is designed for students with a wide range of professional goals in the sciences, engineering, business, and the arts. Students considering graduate work or employment in pure and applied fields of geology, including environmental geology, geological oceanography, hydrogeology, geophysics, and geochemistry, should build their backgrounds to support certification as a professional geologist.
Earth Science Education Emphasis
The earth science education endorsement option is designed for students preparing to teach earth science in secondary schools. This program meets the requirements for teacher licensure in Virginia.

Norfolk, Virginia is one of seven major cities comprising Hampton Roads, one of the world's largest major seaports. Norfolk is the center of this Eastern Virginia region and the hub of the world's largest natural harbor. It is a major center of research and development and a home for extensive scientific and technological activities in marine science, aerospace technology, ship design and construction, advanced electronics and nuclear physics. NASA-Langley, the birthplace of the space program, is located in Hampton, Virginia.
First established in 1969 as the Institute of Oceanography, the Department of Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences moved into a new building on the Old Dominion University campus in Norfolk in 1997. New facilities contain laboratories for biological, chemical and geological studies. In 1991, the Commonwealth Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography began operation in a building near the campus and houses all of the physical oceanography laboratories.
The Department maintains a 55-foot research vessel, theR/V Fay Slover. Smaller vessels, suitable for near shore investigations, are also maintained by the department. Research requiring larger vessels is made possible through the cooperation of such government agencies such asNSF and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Old Dominion University is a member of CRC (Chesapeake Research Consortium), CORE (Consortium for Ocean Research and Education) and an associate member of UNOLS (University National Oceanographic Laboratory System), and of theUniversity for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).
Academic Program
The Department of Ocean, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at Old Dominion University offers various programs in Ocean and Earth Sciences. Click here for more information about our undergraduate program, and here for more information about our graduate program.
There are currently twenty-six full-timefaculty members in the Department of Ocean, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at Old Dominion University. In addition, there are faculty members in other departments atODU whose research interests are in the field of ocean, earth & atmospheric sciences. Many of these are Joint Faculty or Adjunct Faculty in the department.
Outreach Programs
It is the Virginia regional competition for the National Ocean Science Bowl. Every year this event is made possible by a number of volunteers. High school students come and compete every year to move on to the National level.
Boy Scouts Oceanography Merit Badge Program
ODU's Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography and the Department of Ocean, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences Research Vessel Fay Slover sponsper a program where Boy Scout troops can earn a Oceanography Merit Badge. The students take part in a program where they aboard the research vessel and the staff show the students the various equipment that oceanographers use out in the field to collect samples and data.
Our department can offer various presentations to bring to your classroom. One program in particular featured in this photo is Humphrey the Whale. Humphrey the Whale is an inflatable whale where your students can venture inside. Our volunteers will inform your students about fascinating facts about the whales and why they are so vital to our oceans.
This provides a list of a various resources related to Ocean Sciences that you can use to inform your students about the field.

Great show - Get Crocs Ate Dinos Too
Best Uses
Comments about Super Croc DVDÂ :
Fascinating detail about how a world-renowned paleontologist goes about recreating an extinct animal from the bones he finds. Also provides amazing info about the whole family of living crocodiles & alligators.
I would recommend also purchasing "When Crocs Ate Dinosaurs," a later program about Paul Sereno's continuing efforts to learn more about sarcosuchus & other prehistoric crocs. Paul involves many other experts in his search for enlightenment.
I never paid much attention to crocodilians except to lobby for their protection, but they are an intriguing, living window into the time of the dinosaurs.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Republic fashion store calls in the administrators
Updated 5:06pm Tuesday 12th February 2013 in News By Heloise Wood, reporter
A HIGH street clothes company has folded putting 1,000 jobs at risk.
Fashion chain Republic, which has a branch at The Glades in Bromley, is the latest in a line of retail casualties.
Business Ernst and Young is thought to be handling the administration of the stores – there are around 120 across the UK.
Reports suggest Republic has suffered due to recent months of poor trading following consumer pressures and its focus on the north of England - an area particularly badly hit by the recession.
It follows the collapse of HMV, Jessops and Blockbuster which all called in administrators last month.

19/11/2010 - Current scientific predictions suggest that the greatest burden of climate change will fall on poor and developing countries. In the poor areas where the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) works, however, the impact of irregular weather patterns, droughts, soil degradation, deforestation, floods and hunger - many of the expected impacts of climate change - have already been significant for over 50 years. Even before "climate resilience" became a common term, the AKDN, working with governments and civil society, has been helping communities become resilient in the face of the challenges posed by climate and geography.
