U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., a longtime critic of the Castro regime, supported USAID's role and said the media should look more closely at the communist government's policies.
"The fact that USAID is using measures to promote democracy in Cuba is no secret," Ros-Lehtinen said on Sunday. "We must continue to pressure the Castro regime and support the Cuban people, who are oppressed on a daily basis. I wish the press would dedicate more of their time to reporting the rampant human rights abuses in Cuba, perpetrated by the Castro regime, instead of manipulating the coverage of programs promoting freedom of expression and justice on the island."
"This combination of bills strengthens the border, allows governors to mobilize their National Guard, and stops loopholes in our current immigration law," Yoho said on Friday. "The border bill is a stronger bill than we had before us yesterday, and combined with the bill that ends administrative amnesty is a strong signal to the White House and the Senate that the House of Representatives will not tolerate the flagrant dismissal of our rule of law.
"We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws," Yoho added. "To allow folks to cut in line flies in the face of the very foundation of our country -- the American dream. The American dream is built on the notion that if you work hard and follow the rule of law, you will find success regardless of your country of origin, economic status, gender or religion. The combination of bills today stops the president from using his pen to circumvent the rule of law to give amnesty and gives our border the protection it needs."
"Florida's natural beauty is a big reason why this is the best state in the country to call home," Scott said on Sunday. "Our natural resources are the foundation of our economy – they drive tourism, housing, business, and agriculture – and they deserve our long-term commitment. We've made record investments in Florida's environment, but there's more work to be done. With a $1 billion investment in Florida's waters, an ongoing commitment to the Everglades, and tougher penalties for bad actors, we'll ensure that Florida's treasures are protected for generations to come."
Scott is scheduled to hit Jupiter and Palm City on Monday as he starts his tour.
Ingoglia was one of several general election candidates to be endorsed by the Chamber, with nearly all candidates being Republicans.
"Interviewing candidates to determine where they stand on free-enterprise issues is essential to helping ensure we endorse candidates who aren't afraid to make bold pro-jobs, pro-business decisions once they are elected to office," said Marian Johnson, senior vice president of political operations for the Chamber. "The Florida Chamber's thorough and intense endorsement process sends a very strong signal that Florida families and small businesses can feel confident in supporting these candidates."
Said Ingoglia of the endorsement:
"I'm honored to have the endorsement of the Florida Chamber. Their pro-jobs, pro-business agenda echoes our campaign message, 'It's about Jobs.' We understand that greater fiscal responsibility and less regulation in government lead to a stronger economy and middle class. I appreciate their support and look forward to working with them to ensure that Florida is destination No. 1 for families and small businesses."
A Rasmussen Poll from April had Crist leading 45 percent to 39 percent for Scott.
The poll of 900 likely Florida voters was taken on July 29-July 30 and had a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.
The Legislature would need to meet in special session to draw up the new maps, which could pose a problem with legislators facing primaries on Aug. 26 and the general election. While in session, legislators are barred from fundraising.
Legislative leaders said before the ruling they were open to redistricting but looked to hold off on special elections this year. They are expected to appeal Lewis' decision, at least on the special election requirement.
The new funds, which will be used over the next three years, come in the aftermath of reports across the nation detailing altered wait lists at VA facilities. As a result, Eric Shinseki resigned his post as VA secretary back in May.
The proposal passed the House earlier in the week and passed the Senate 91-3 on Thursday.
Miller cheered the news as the bill now heads to President Barack Obama.
"Sen. Sanders and his colleagues deserve credit for taking action to address VA's delays in care and accountability crises," Miller said. "We are now just one signature away from making government more accountable and providing veterans with real choice in their health care decisions. I am confident the president will do the right thing and sign this bill into law."
"The United Nations has turned a blind eye to Hamas' use of its facilities to terrorize Israel," said Rubio. "But the targeting of innocent Israelis by Hamas and other terrorist groups cannot be denied, and it cannot be ignored – not by the United Nations, and certainly not by America. So long as the Palestinian Authority refuses to dissolve its current government with Hamas, and the United Nations continues to allow its facilities to be used to conduct terrorism, U.S. assistance to these entities needs to reflect our concerns about their behavior."
"Russia has become a rogue actor on the world stage, with no regard for upholding its international obligations and basic norms," said Rubio. "Russia's recent violation of a decades-old arms control treaty that was negotiated to eliminate an entire class of missiles that threatened our allies and deployed forces cannot go unanswered.
"This legislation is urgently needed to ensure that the United States is prepared for any outcome from this blatant treaty violation and that the administration adequately responds," Rubio insisted.
"Regardless of any state laws, recreational marijuana use is still illegal on the federal level because of its high potential for abuse and the fact that there is no currently accepted national standard for use as a medical treatment," said Chief Frank Kitzerow, the president of the FPCA, on Thursday. "It's important to understand that expanding the use of marijuana for medical purposes is not a safer way to use the drug."
Kitzerow pointed to studies which "show that marijuana use and criminal involvement – other than drug use – are highly related" and car accidents involving marijuana after Colorado legalized it for medicinal reasons.
"Florida seaports are performing very well under a decentralized governance model, managing and meeting their local needs while implementing a state level strategy to holistically enhance Florida's economic climate," said Dominic Calabro, the president and CEO of Florida TaxWatch, on Thursday.
"What this data shows is that Florida ports already share the characteristics that determine long-term success for ports around the world," said Doug Wheeler, the president and CEO of the Florida Ports Council. "We are always looking for opportunities to improve and will continue to strive toward increases in efficiency and innovation."
The two groups looked at other states with decentralized ports and found they were some of the best run in the nation. The report can be read here.
"The emergency legislation unveiled today helps clear the veteran wait lists and eliminating those waits must be a priority, which is why I'm calling on Congress to act this week and approve this bill before the start of the August district work period," said Jolly on Tuesday.
"This bill is a good first step and provides some immediate relief," Jolly added. "But we must continue working on a long-term solution to this crisis. We need to give every veteran a choice card so they have complete control of their health care, and if they want to go outside the VA system to a private provider they can do so."
"Jay's business experience in the district has given him an understanding of the issues facing Florida's small-business owners, and his focus on reducing taxes and regulations, enacting lawsuit reform, and eliminating the roadblocks hindering small-business growth show that he's committed to helping Florida's job creators," said Bill Herrle, the executive director of the Florida NFIB, on Tuesday. "Jay is the best candidate in the district who is fully devoted to supporting small business in the Florida House, and we feel he can provide steady leadership to ensure that Florida maintains its pro-business climate. Jay's emphasis on reducing the burdens placed on small-business owners shows his dedication to helping entrepreneurs succeed."
"As a career small-business man, I am honored by NFIB's endorsement," said Fant. "Their commitment to conservative principles, limited government, and free enterprise match up with mine, and I look forward to working closely with them in the Florida Legislature. By reducing taxes and reshaping our regulatory structure to work with businesses instead of against them, we will create an economic environment in which everyone can succeed."
"Charlie Crist is a skilled debater – that happens when you debate yourself every day because you've been on both sides of every issue," said RPOF Chairwoman Leslie Dougher on Wednesday before calling on Crist to debate his primary opponent. "So why not debate Sen. Nan Rich? What does he have to hide? He's had more than enough practice."
"There is no question this governor understands the importance of tourism and the vital role the hospitality industry plays in job creation and economic development," said Carol Dover, the president and CEO of the FRLA. "On behalf of our more than 10,000 members representing hoteliers, restaurateurs and suppliers, we are thrilled to give our strongest of endorsements to Gov. Rick Scott and Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera this election cycle."
"Gov. Scott led the charge in securing $75 million for Visit Florida tourism marketing, and $700,000 for our Hospitality Education Program (HEP) which helps train the next generation of industry professionals," said James McManemon, the general manager of the Ritz Carlton on Amelia Island and the 2014 chairman of the FRLA. "His goal in attracting 100 million visitors to our state is one that FRLA not only supports, but is working together in providing both residents and tourists the best possible experience in our hotels, our restaurants and all that Florida has to offer."
"The practical application is there will never be stops in Brevard and Indian River counties if they have to make up for revenue lost from the tolls not collected due to the decreased automobiles traveling to Orlando," Altman said. That is an extra-territorial tax imposed by the Expressway Authority.
"It also concerns me greatly that the citizens of the Space and Treasure coasts are not represented on the Expressway Authority," Altman added. "I no longer call it All Aboard Florida but 'Not Onboard Florida.'"
But that could be changing. Crenshaw announced on Tuesday that the ABLE Act will be facing a vote on the House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday.
"More than three-quarters of the members of the House and Senate have co-sponsored this landmark bill, and a July 24 Senate Finance Subcommittee hearing shed more light on the need for the ABLE Act," said Crenshaw. "Now, on Thursday, July 31, the House Ways and Means Committee will consider the legislation. Step by step, with focus and determination, we are adding more information to the record and further opening the door to turn ABLE from legislation into the law of the land. We will level the playing field for individuals with disabilities and their families so they can take advantage of the same financial planning tools that are available to other Americans."
"We are taking our grassroots campaign on the road to meet Floridians, to show them that I'm for real, and that this is truly a three-way race for governor," said Wyllie on Wednesday.
"With Adrian's climbing poll numbers and major press coverage, the timing of this tour couldn't be better," said Danielle Alexandre, Wyllie's campaign manager. "People across the state are very excited about it."
Wyllie is touring the breweries to turn the spotlight to small businesses which he says the major parties have hurt.
"As a small-business owner, I know firsthand the obstacles government places in our path, and how they can crush an entire industry with the stroke of a pen," said Wyllie, "If we truly want to restore the economy and create real jobs, we first have to get government out of our way … and that's what I intend to do as governor.
"We certainly don't have a 60-foot tour bus, we won't be staying at five-star hotels, and we'll probably be eating at IHOP," Wyllie added. "But, that doesn't matter to us. What's important is that the people of Florida know that they have a third choice in this election … and a chance to end the corruption, and to restore economic freedom and individual liberty."
Calabro explained that over the last 16 years, the back-to-school sales tax holiday has saved Florida taxpayers nearly $408 million.
A fact sheet on the holiday can be viewed here.
"Senior citizens should not face punitive taxes if they choose to continue working beyond the retirement age," DeSantis said. "They should not be taxed further but instead should be free to contribute to our economy. The Let Seniors Work Act will empower seniors by giving them the freedom to remain in the workforce without being subject to counterproductive penalties. I look forward to working with Sen. Rubio to advance this important legislation."
"There are currently too many perverse disincentives for healthy and hard-working seniors to leave the workforce instead of staying in it to the benefit of our economy," Rubio said. "We need to make sure that seniors can keep working if they so choose without being hit by de facto financial penalties. I'm excited to have Ron DeSantis leading this effort in the House. As representatives of Florida's large senior population, we know what a boon this reform would be to our entire country but especially to our state."
"I rise in defense of Israel in their defensive war against Hamas," DeSantis said.
The freshman congressman called Hamas a "terrorist organization" and "an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood" that wants to destroy Israel.
"Hamas desires a second Holocaust although they won't acknowledge the first one happened," DeSantis said. "We need to stand with Israel at this critical juncture."
"The great thing about debates is that they allow candidates to discuss their vision and their plans directly with the voters," Scott said before taking a shot at former Gov. Charlie Crist for ducking debates with primary rival former Florida Senate Democratic Leader Nan Rich. "The only other time I ran for office I participated in debates in both the primary and general elections. Candidates who refuse to debate show a disdain for the voters and for their opponent. I look forward to a great exchange of ideas with either Charlie Crist or Nan Rich, whoever emerges from the primary in late August."
Rubio gave U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., the chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, high praise for his leadership on the matter.
"Despite the dysfunction it exhibited at times, it's been my honor to serve on this conference committee," Rubio said. "I also want to take this opportunity to commend Congressman Jeff Miller, the lead Republican negotiator on this committee. I've known Jeff for many years and had the privilege of working with him in the Florida House. I've always known that Jeff Miller is the real deal when it comes to public service, and this experience further solidified that impression. Florida's Panhandle, our entire state and all our veterans are fortunate to have Jeff Miller championing their causes."
Rubio also gave the agreement high marks.
"This VA reform agreement is an important step forward to begin addressing the dysfunction and incompetence that are plaguing our VA system and hurting our veterans," Rubio said. "By providing our veterans with more doctor choices outside the VA system, this takes significant steps to make sure that those who have served our country aren't condemned to endless waiting times just to get an appointment."
Rubio weighed in on his proposal to allow the VA secretary to fire incompetent employees. Rubio's proposal was included in the final agreement though it has been altered to allow more appeals.
"I have fought to reform the VA, and a key part of this fight has been to hold bad managers accountable," Rubio said. "After the scandal erupted earlier this year, my biggest priority was to make sure that my legislation making it easier to fire incompetent, negligent or dishonest managers was included in any reform. During the conference committee, I'm proud that this provision became even stronger than what the Senate passed earlier this year. It's time to end the shameful VA status quo that has made it easier for bad workers to receive bonuses than get fired."
"The nature and legality of payments under the risk corridor program are troubling," Bilirakis said. "The administration plans to put taxpayers on the hook for bailouts to insurance companies. This is outrageous and completely unacceptable. The president's health-care law includes government mandates, taxes, and cuts to Medicare, and now, illegal bailouts to insurance companies.
"Beyond the issue of taxpayer bailouts, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service has said the administration cannot make payments through this program without additional legislative authority, and yet they plan to do so," Bilirakis added. "The risk corridor program is marred by serious legal and practical issues – just like the entirety of the president's health-care law."
Associated Builders and Contractors of Florida Inc. (ABC) on Monday announced the endorsement of Rick Scott to serve a second term as Florida's governor.
"ABC stands for free enterprise, lower taxes, and fiscal responsibility and Rick Scott shares our philosophy," ABC of Florida Chairman Adam McKinnon said in a written statement. "We look forward to doing all we can to re-elect Rick Scott the next governor of Florida." ABC has awarded Gov. Scott its "Defender of Free Enterprise Award" for his commitment to free enterprise.
Orlando-based ABC is Florida's largest merit shop commercial construction trade association. ABC represents more than 1,500 companies, and its members employ more than 100,000 Floridians.
"I thank the Associated Builders and Contractors of Florida for their support as we work hard to make Florida the best place in the country to start a business, find a job, raise a family, and live the American dream," Gov. Scott said in his reply. "I am confident we will continue to build support in the business community for an agenda that focused on creating jobs, keeping taxes low and jump-starting our economy."
With five Florida chapters, ABC has the largest apprenticeship-training program in the state. It has developed the curriculum for construction workers and partnered with community colleges and vocational education schools to provide training while working full-time .
Mckinnon stated, "Rick Scott is a strong supporter of our efforts to provide training to those individuals who choose not to attend college. We provide an alternative for those students to gain meaningful and marketable skills, which lead to higher paying jobs. Rick Scott recognizes the importance of training for high-skill and high-wage jobs."
ABC is a national trade association representing more than 23,000 contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers and professional firms from across the country and from all specialties in the commercial construction industry. It is "committed to developing a safe workplace and a high performing workforce through quality education and training with comprehensive safety and health programs."
Attorneys for the couple filed paperwork on Monday to move the case from an appeals court to the state's highest court.
"The constitutionality of Florida's laws barring same-sex couples from marriage is an issue of great public importance that has a great effect on the proper administration of justice throughout the state," the couple's lawyers, Bernadette Restivo and Elena Vigil-Fariñas, wrote to the 3rd District Court of Appeal.
The attorneys also said a decision from the Supreme Court would provide "uniform direction and guidance" to state clerks and government entities across the state. They also wrote that the issue was one "of great public importance" that affects same-sex couples and their children across the state.
On July 17, Judge Luis Garcia ruled the ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional and even said same-sex couples could begin marrying as soon as July 22, but the decision was halted after Attorney General Pam Bondi appealed Garcia's decision.
The appeals court gave Bondi 10 days to respond.
The coalition released the following statement:
Sadly, the Quinnipiac poll released today continues to poll Floridians with general questions that they are more likely to support. The poll fails at its one job: to ask about Florida's actual Amendment 2. This poll simply does not address the realities of this dangerous amendment.
Floridians will not be voting on whether their physician can prescribe marijuana. This amendment would allow storefront docs (similar to pot docs), with no relationship to patients, to simply recommend pot to anyone with even a slight ache. The poll also asks if people are OK with "a" dispensary in their community, yet Amendment 2 would allow unlimited pot shops in communities. The Department of Health estimates there will be close to 1,800 of these shops statewide. Clearly this poll had little to do with what Floridians will vote on in November.
If Floridians were given all the details about this amendment, the poll results would be drastically different. The most devastating details that Floridians should know include:
Pot for Anyone Loophole
Amendment 2 does not require a doctor's prescription in order to obtain medical pot, because a prescription would violate federal law. Amendment 2 authors define "debilitating medical condition" as any condition from back pain to trouble sleeping. As a result, anyone who wants pot will get it.
Drug Dealer Loophole
Amendment 2 allows so-called "caregivers" to dispense medical pot. Caregivers do not need medical training. They can be felons -- even drug dealers. It will be easier to get a caregiver's license than a driver's license. Caregivers can supply marijuana for up to five people and DOH estimates there will be 250,000 of them.
Teenager Loophole
Under Amendment 2, teens and children will be able to legally purchase pot without their parents' consent. Amendment 2 places no age restrictions on pot smoking. Law enforcement officials in California and Colorado say most teens found with marijuana got it from someone with a medical card.
Pill Mill Loophole
Amendment 2 places no restrictions on the location of seedy pot shops. Like "pill mills," look for "pot docs" to spring up next to restaurants, schools, churches and supermarkets.
The language of the amendment is broad and raises major concerns related to public safety. Floridians cannot be expected to support something that is incomplete, flawed and dangerous.
"Fraud, waste, and abuse are often linked together in discussing Washington's economic woes," Webster said on Friday. "Fraud and abuse are both against the law, but waste is often rewarded. Perverse incentives currently exist that strongly encourage federal agencies to spend every dollar they are appropriated. Reversing that incentive by rewarding efficiency will produce savings to the American taxpayer, improve operation of our federal agencies, and ultimately better services for taxpayers.
"In order to curb this practice of rewarding wasteful government spending, I introduced the To Help Reduce Inefficient Federal Tendencies (THRIFT) Act," Webster continued. "The THRIFT Act provides a process for federal departments and agencies to evaluate their own spending and to identify measures that will reduce costs and improve efficiency. Public servants know the intricacies of their operations – including where the fat could be trimmed without limiting services – so the THRIFT Act provides them an actual incentive for blowing the whistle on waste.
"Getting our nation's fiscal house in order starts with a Congress that is willing to cut waste and live within its means," Webster said in conclusion. "Families make these tough fiscal decisions every day. It is time for Washington to get serious about doing more with less."
A group of teachers headed to Washington, D.C., on Monday to protest the Common Core State Standards engulfing the nation in a sea of controversy.
The Badass Teachers Association, which consists of over 100,000 teachers, rallied in the nation's capital to make their voices heard over the last 12 years of federal education, which they see as a significant problem as educators in the U.S.
In the group's manifesto, the BATs demand the end of high-stakes testing as well as teaching to a set of "narrow, top-down-based" standards.
The BATs also called for the resignation of U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan as well as severing ties with Teach for America.

Woman wins appeal over unpaid Poundland work
The Court of Appeal has ruled university graduate Cait Reilly's claim that requiring her to work for free at a Poundland discount store was unlawful.
Three judges in London ruled that the regulations under which most of the Government's back-to-work schemes were created are unlawful and quashed them.
Miss Reilly, 24, from Birmingham, and 40-year-old unemployed HGV driver Jamieson Wilson, from Nottingham, both succeeded in their claims that the unpaid schemes were legally flawed.
Their solicitors said later the ruling means "all those people who have been sanctioned by having their jobseekers' allowance withdrawn for non-compliance with the back-to-work schemes affected will be entitled to reclaim their benefits".

Good luck !
Bring whatever you feel you will need, if you don't wind up needing it.. oh well. At least you know it was ready IF you needed it. :)
As a former girl scout... you should always be prepared!
Check out my Etsy shop for unique and custom resin jewelry charms & earrings!!
And as some of the ladies with past experience have pointed out on other threads...Not every hospital provides every thing! Some provide nursing supplies and others don't. They may provide toiletries, but not the kinds you like. They won't provide the things you might want to make you comfortable such as your own pillow/nightgown or candles/music. They provide most of the basic baby stuff like diapers, but maybe you want your LO to wear her own clothes. It's your birth and your bag. Don't let your mom make you feel bad and talk you out of packing what you want and then get to the hospital and wish you had your stuff. If you know you have everything you could possibly need or want you will have a better delivery experience because you won't be worrying about it.

Rather than making do with cloud-computing solutions that weren't created for the education environment, the state of Illinois has developed its own cooperative, education-driven cloud.
Despite increasingly widespread adoption of technologies in virtually every aspect of K-12 education, significant challenges are preventing widespread effective implementation. According to researchers, though some of those challenges are systemic and some related to the technologies themselves, teachers and education leaders share in the blame as well.
Cloud computing and mobile technology are the top technologies to watch in education, according to this year's K-12 Horizon Report, an annual publication from the New Media Consortium that highlights developing trends in ed tech. And this year, the report suggests, they could go mainstream.

In response to the county's fly-by-night decision to remove 176 old oak trees along Seaman's Neck Road, earlier this month, New York State Sen. Kemp Hannon has issued a letter to Nassau County Department of Public Works Commissioner Shila Shah-Gavnoudias regarding constituents' concerns with the appearance of the roadway.
In his letter, Hannon asks Commissioner Shah-Gavnoudias if the removal of the trees were under the jurisdiction of LIPA or PSEG.
"If not, I would like to know who made the decision to remove these trees and why," Hannon states. "I request you review this case and take whatever course of action necessary."

U.S. Navy Veteran Richard Meyerowitz of Levittown joined the military in 1962, enlisting straight out of high school. While he would never see combat, Meyerowitz served as a boilerman aboard the U.S.S. Dewey amid the United States' blockade of Cuba.
"They gave us our orders," Meyerowitz said, "turn any vessels away. If not, blow 'em out of the water."
During the blockade, Meyerowitz said he only encountered one ship, which they warned to turn back. Just a kid at the time, Meyerowitz said it didn't occur to him at the time, how the country could have been on the verge of nuclear war.

Welcome Zygi!!
Here's my thoughts since last season!
We traded Moss for Harris and a couple picks! In my opinion this was a good move.
Moss had his chance to take this team to the top he just plain and simple never came through! He choked under pressure too often! He made some GREAT plays, but between his off field problems, and his on field" i'll play when I want to" attitude. I think it's was time for this team to move on.
With that 1st round pick we got Williamson, who in my opinion will turn into a very good reciever! Maybee not this year but i see him as a #1 or #2 in the not to distant future.
We added some "D" . Not back to purple people eaters of old , but with the pick up of key players like, Harris, Williams, Smoot, and Sharper, I must say this looks like a very good "D".
We added some "O". With the pick ups of Taylor, Johnson, and others I think we added some depth!
As for our latest pick up in K Robinson. I think it was a great move! Yes he has problems, but don't we all. I say we judge him from this day forward not the past! He has great play potential! Lets hope he delivers!
I think we had a good pre-season, and look forward to the season!
I,m predicting a 12- 4 season! With a great playoff run to the BOWL!!
SKOL VIKINGS RIP IT UP!!!!!!!!!! :cool:

thats very good!
Typically it takes around 10 - 40 seconds on our network. Children use mandatory roaming profiles and staff just normal roaming profiles. In my experience keeping roaming profiles as small as possible (typically under 3MB) is important otherwise logon time will lag. We run our workstations at 100Mbps speeds and once logged into XP, file transfers and browsing network drives are fast. Bearing in mind most of my machines are 5 years old I'd like to think I've done a good job
thats very good!
quackers - roger that and thanks for the help :-)
We're a primary school and each year group has it's own logon name with a mandantory profile. Staff have their own roaming profiles. Different year groups need to have different profiles (they are differentiated - e.g. reception don't double click).
Pupil logon is 45sec total: 15 sec loading profile (1mb) and 30 applying personal settings. This is the same on new and 5 yr old machines. (can be longer over wireless loading profile).
The slow bit is applying personal settings. This seems to be caused by group policy. When I disable the policy it is really quick but I loose folder redirection and some restrictions. Is there anyway of making it save all the policy info in the user.man file? Then I could disable the policy.
This is a very interesting thread and it would be great if Quackers created a wiki on how he shortened the logon process.
We have mandatory profiles and group policies in a SErver 2003/XP domain. Logons take about 55 seconds, which people do complain about. I followed the instructions to use the default local profile instead of mandatory - but that just dropped the logon from 55 to 51 seconds.
I then removed the policies and the logon was 11 seconds.
Removing the policies AND the mandatory profile dropped the logon to 9 seconds.
So, clearly it's the group policies that are causing the major part of the delay in our instance. I guess that there is nothing we can do about that is there?
Is it folder redirection thats causing your delay? I get this too if i use them, but only on SP2 XP PC's. So i just manually set them in the user.dat ?
The more group policies a client machine has to process the longer it'll take to startup and login. You might want to see if you can combine some related group policies together.
hmmm, yes, we do use folder redirection alright and when I removed the policies that would have been removed too. I will give that a go. CheersOriginally Posted by Quackers
Yep, I had to go through all those a few months ago and combine them into a "Pupil" policy instead of one policy for every configuration/restriction - that knocked about 15 seconds of the logon time I think.Originally Posted by Geoff
Have you got any policies defined that do the same as not configuring - if you know what I mean!? :P
We've only got one user-side policy and that's taking 30 secs to load.Originally Posted by Geoff
Something is hillarious broken then. I suspect DNS. How many domain controllers do you have? Are they setup correctly? What does DCDiag think? What about your clients? Are you using DHCP and pointing them to the Windows AD DNS Server(s) correctly? What does the GPMC think? Does GP Results/Modelling show errors?
In my experience there is a gpo setting that introduces a delay on logon. I have yet to identify which one though (not enough time). I even went as far as capturing the network packets during the pause, I didn't notice anything odd, it just stops and waits or does something. My personal policy has fewer settings and logs in fast, another for students is slow. My profile creator account is fast and uses most of the settings used by the students.Originally Posted by Geoff
This is from a good clean install of a 2003 domain and server, it has always been this way, machine speed doesn't affect the pause.
DNS is fine, DCdiag, Netdiag all report no problems.
1 - Windows 2000 Server.Originally Posted by Geoff
I think soAre they setup correctly?
All tests passed, including dns one.What does DCDiag think?
What can I test here?What about your clients?
Yes. I remember having it wrong once and it took 3 minutes to logon.Are you using DHCP and pointing them to the Windows AD DNS Server(s) correctly?
How do I test this?What does the GPMC think? Does GP Results/Modelling show errors?
The client equivalent of DCDiag is NetDiag. Use it.Originally Posted by eean
As its W2k you can only do the results. Login to a problem workstation with a user. Then load up the GPMC on one of your admin PCs. At the bottom there's a Group Policy results section. Add the User/Computer combo as a report to this bit. It'll list any problems coming up when that user logs on to that computer. What Polices are processed. Event Log items. Etc.. Just go through everything looking for anything unusual.Originally Posted by eean
BTW. You might want to consider an upgrade to W2K3 server at some point. It's really much nicer.

Epinephrine for Croup
Topic Overview
Epinephrine is a medicine that helps open swollen breathing tubes. Epinephrine is given through a nebulizer in a process called a breathing treatment.
One breathing treatment with epinephrine may be enough, but sometimes children with croup symptoms need a second treatment or a different medicine to take later at home. Children will be watched in the doctor's office or emergency department for several hours after getting a breathing treatment with epinephrine to be sure another treatment is not needed.

And, not surprisingly (but still impressive) by the crazy prices - $45 for scrambled eggs and bacon, yogurt and granola and a coffee!! But, maybe that's just what those things should cost ...

We headed to our apartment for a quick coffee and chat, before dropping them at their hotel just down the road. We could have talked for much longer but showers and sleep were ...

The project has won state transportation officials an award in the northeast regional America's Transportation Awards competition for Best Use of Innovation. The project now moves on to the nationals.
Now in its seventh year, the America's Transportation Awards competition – sponsored by AASHTO, AAA, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce – recognizes the very best of America's transportation projects in three categories: Under Budget, Best Use of Innovation, and Quality of Life/Community Development.
The winners in the three remaining regions will be announced at their regional meetings, held throughout the summer.
The 10 projects with the highest overall scores will compete for the National Grand Prize and People's Choice Award. The Grand Prize winner is selected by a panel of transportation experts. The People's Choice Award is presented to the transportation project that receives the most online votes from the public.
The America's Transportation Awards Top 10 will be announced on Sept. 4, when the online voting will also begin. The winners of both national awards will be announced at the AASHTO Annual Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina in November, where each winning state DOT will receive a $10,000 check to be given to a transportation-related charity or scholarship program of their choice.
Learn more about all of the nominated projects and the competition at AmericasTransportationAwards.org.

Terri Lynn Land plans to run for US Senate
Grand Rapids native and former Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land has announced her intention to run for U.S. Senate.
She made the announcement on her Facebook page:
I would like to thank everyone who has been encouraging me to run for US Senate. Representing our magnificent state of Michigan and your interests in Congress would be the greatest honor. We need conservative leadership now more than ever because of high unemployment, huge deficits, and a spendthrift Congress.
Beginning today, I am putting together a campaign strategy and a policy team. I will be filing the appropriate paper work by July 1 to become a Republican primary candidate.
Now is our chance to win. I eagerly look forward to speaking with you face-to-face about ways to launch our country to prosperity while defending our liberty and freedoms.
Her announcement marks the first major Republican candidate to throw their hat in the ring for the open Michigan Senate seat after Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) announced his retirement earlier this year.
U.S. Rep. Gary Peters is the front-runner for the Democratic nomination.
U.S. Representatives Mike Rogers and Justin Amash are other possible Republican candidates who could make a run.
Michigan Radio's Lindsey Smith is following this story and will have more for us later today. We'll also hear more later today from Michigan Radio's Stateside team.

Guido is enjoying a free pint at the launch of the TPA's Mash Beer Tax campaign. Join us at Walkers of Whitehall…
The government's adviser on youth, welfare and communities would always strive to help hard-working up and comers, wouldn't he? Paid £60,000-a-year as a SpAd under the PM, Shaun Bailey is advertising for a "politically alert, self-motivated" intern to draft letters and carry out research. But wait; the position – you've guessed it – is unpaid. Now that's irony…
UPDATE: Friends of Bailey get in touch to reveal that he quit as a SpAd under the PM at the end of last year. He is now working as an adviser "external to the government".
Lord Rennard has come out fighting, albeit via a 'friend':
Lord Rennard refutes these allegations. He will co-operate with any properly constituted inquiry.
He has been notified of an internal investigatory panel within the Party. The matter must now be regarded as sub judice pending its proceedings and no further statement will be issued in the interim.
He expects others to respect the sub judice principle, and he notes that under the party rules concerned it is for any case made against him to be proved by evidence to the requisite standard. He denies impropriety.
He would reiterate that in 27 years of working for the Liberal Democrats he received no complaint or allegation about his behaviour.
Nor is he aware of any personal complaints being made in the three and a half years since he stood down as chief executive until last week.
So he's denying Danny had a word?
Alison Smith, one of the women who has made allegations against Lord Rennard, says:
"Clegg slams 'self appointed detectives', otherwise known as the free press. Regarded by most as important in a democracy."
The second most controversial picture of the Cardinal today.
A LibDem activist alleges that nine women have made claims against Lord Rennard, dating back to 2001. She says she personally told Jo Swinson, Norman Lamb and Ros Scott about the time Rennard propositioned her, and that Clegg "didn't know how to deal with it and then didn't deal with it well".
"At one point someone referred to us as 'Rennard's red hot babes'". On the emails between the Telegraph and Jonny Oates: "I am unsure as to how Nick never heard of that". She's not the only one…
You can always rely on Polly Toynbee to spectacularly miss the point:
"Their distrust may be justified here, as this byelection follows a familiarly vicious pattern, the air thick with dirty tricks. Where did the Lord Rennard sleaze reprise from 2009 suddenly come from, and why now in the final runup to election day? Blasted across every front page, Nick Clegg's fumbling response hasn't helped, but it doesn't take an expert political nose to suspect this stinks."
She then goes on to play down the claims against Rennard as "less than criminal" – despite the police being called in – and compares the story to "Tory tricks directed at UKIP". Perhaps she should read what Cathy Newman has to say on why she ran the story now. This is about the women who are victims of sexual harassment being able to hold a sex pest to account, and the lies being told by people who tried to stop their story coming out:
@christomill @cathynewman Though when people reduce the allegations to a 'plot', they demonstrate lack of concern for the underlying issue.—
Alison Smith (@AliFionaSmith) February 25, 2013
Polly's diversion tactics are one in the eye for the sisterhood.
As of 1pm this afternoon LBC sources have confirmed to Guido that tomorrow morning's Call Clegg is on. It was brought forward a day due to Thursday's by-election, and there is no word of him pulling out over at LBC towers.
Popcorn for breakfast…
Back in October Guido noted that barrister, judge and Huhne prosecution witness Constance Briscoe had been arrested. It can now be reported for the first time that her arrest is in connection with the Huhne-Pryce case. The jury have been told that Briscoe could not be relied upon as a "witness of truth", and that she "may have lied about her involvement with the press". Developing…
UPDATE: Briscoe negotiated with newspapers on behalf of Pryce then denied contact with the press to police, the jury is told.
A remarkably well turned out figure has been conspicuously absent from TV screens recently. Sad news today that Peter Spencer, the flamboyant and eccentric Westminster correspondent for Sky News at weekends, has retired. Guido has fond memories of waiting to go on air and being entertained with a tune on the guitar off camera. Millbank won't be the same without the bright pink BMW parked outside the studios. A loss!

Helen Hobson, Jerome Pradon & More to Lead PICTURE PERFECT at St. James Studio, 31 May - 1 June
Picture Perfect: A New Musical, a contemporary song-cycle musical that explores love and relationships using the songs of award-winning American composer Scott Evan Davis, conceived and directed by Simon Greiff, will get its London premiere at the St James Studio with four performances on Saturday 31 May and Sunday 1 June. Press are invited to review on either Saturday 31 May at 8.00pm or Sunday 1 June at 3.00pm.
Josh is graduating college and preparing to face the future - whatever that may bring! Unlucky in love, he wonders whether the right person is out there for him. Ellie, on her gap year from her law degree, wonders whether she's making the right decisions in life - both professional and personal! Harry and Elizabeth, Josh's parents, are also at a turning point in their lives - with Harry inadvertently starting an affair with a younger woman, and Elizabeth believing now is the time to finally leave her husband. Is anything 'Picture Perfect'?
The stunning cast features two major West End stars. Helen Hobson's West End starring roles include Donna in Mamma Mia! and Mrs Johnstone in Blood Brothers as well as playing the Mother Abbess in the acclaimed production of The Sound of Music in Regent's Park. Jerome Pradon's West End starring roles include Javert in Les Miserables, Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings and The Man in Whistle Down the Wind. Lucie Jones was recently in American Psycho at the Almeida and played Meatloaf in the international tour of We Will Rock You. She also played Cosette in Les Miserables in the West End. Joel Harper-Jackson has just appeared in the Rent 20th Anniversary tour. Picture Perfect, in its earliest revue format, had previous productions in New York and LA. It has now been further developed and written for the London stage, drawing on new original material as well as work from Davis' debut 2011 recording, Cautiously Optimistic. Over the past two years, Davis' music has gained international praise. Last spring he was the recipient of a Courage in Theater Award from Musical Theater International for his musical A Powerful Day, written with autistic students at the Spectrum School in Manhattan. He is currently developing with librettist Tessa Derfner, a new musical, INDIGO, about an autistic child. He last performed in London alongside Georgia Stitt and Michael Patrick Walker in the Matcham Room at the London Hippodrome. He won the first ever Broadwayworld Award for Best Song with If We Say Goodbye, which features in Picture Perfect: A New Musical.
Simon Greiff has been developing new musicals for the stage since 2009. He has previously worked with Perfect Pitch and is an Associate for Mercury Musical Developments, the only writer-based organisation devoted to the development of new work. He recently developed and directed Payback (Riverside Studios), and represented the UK directing Stand Tall at 45th Street Theatre New York as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival. Simon is also known for championing new writers through London Concerts and Records as part of SimG Productions / SimG Records. (www.SimGProductions.com).
The Musical Director is Colin Billing.
Picture Perfect: A New Musical is produced by United Theatrical and is the third in a season of American work produced by them following the music of Broadway composer and lyricist Andrew Lippa (The Addams Family, Big Fish, The Wild Party, John and Jen) and Off-Broadway writing duo Kerrigan-Lowdermilk, both at the St James Studio. United Theatrical was founded by Stuart Matthew Price and James Yeoburn in 2012 after the success of their West End Dress Circle Benefit at Her Majesty's Theatre. Since then the company has been working on debuting, creating and nurturing the newest talent in theatre from all over the world.

Home News Local News RIDING THE COUNTIES' RAIL
By Alice Perry Linker
Observer Staff Writer
ALONG THE JOSEPH LINE A red fox raced beside the rails, moving ahead of the slow-moving vehicles pickups converted to ride on railroad tracks.
A few miles earlier, the 11 passengers in the two pickups had seen an elk beside the river, and later they watched as a young bald eagle glided across the rails and landed in a tall tree. Kingfishers, blue herons and other water birds on the Grande Ronde and Wallowa rivers brought comments from the riders.
The passengers are members of the Wallowa-Union Railroad Authority, created by the two counties that recently bought the line between Elgin and Joseph from Idaho Northern and Pacific Railway for $6.5 million.
The wildlife, the mountains and the rivers have given rise to a dream that one day the rails will carry excursion trains filled with people from other places.
Enterprise Mayor Susan Roberts talked during Friday's ride about "endless possibilities" for the line. She envisions numerous types of trips, dinner rides and trips that include overnight stays at Wallowa Lake.
"There's great potential for business along the line," Roberts said during an authority meeting at the end of the line in Joseph.
Before those dreams can become reality, much work needs to be done. The line is being run by Idaho Northern; but come May, the authority must take over.
During the five-hour trip, Idaho Northern track manager Bob Adams explained the number of inspections, the level of maintenance and the need to remove grass and other vegetation that if left overgrown could present a high fire risk.
Along the way, at the several crossings in Wallowa County, the converted trucks slowed and often stopped to yield right of way to pickups and cars. Once a train begins running, the reverse will be true. Vehicles on the roads must yield to trains, and signage must be adequate to warn road traffic. Signalized crossings must be activated, maintained and frequently inspected, Adams said.
Roberts showed the other passengers the poor condition of rail crossings in Enterprise crossings that she said need to be repaired. In several places along the way, ranchers have strung fences across the tracks, and the new railroad owners must find ways to work with the ranchers, who after nearly eight years of abandoned track, have become accustomed to the fences.
"There's an awful lot of work to consider," said authority member Mark Davidson of La Grande.
"Realistically, we have to contract with an operator to run it. If we negotiate an agreement with the right operator, that will take the burden off the authority."
Union County Commissioner Steve McClure stressed the importance of federal grants, but no money is expected to be given this year. Roberts agreed that federal dollars are necessary.
"It's imperative to get federal dollars; imperative to push as hard as we can the Oregon delegation and anybody else who will listen to get these dollars," she said.
When the line first opened in early August, Wallowa Forest Products began shipping lumber out of Wallowa County by rail, but the lumber mill stopped shipping shortly after it started, saying that the cost was greater than the amount originally quoted. Freight shipments headed out of Northeast Oregon must ride over rails owned by more than one railroad. Wallowa Forest Products said that Union Pacific Railroad prices were higher than quoted.
Members of the authority agreed to try to negotiate among all parties involved in freight shipping to find a cost that could be workable for shippers.
The authority will be meeting on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month to begin organizing to take over the line's operation. The next meeting will be at 6 p.m. Thursday in Elgin City Hall.
