Edit: makes sense now, 365 ProPlus is just the local office and you need to be in the 365 Enterprise demo to get everything...
For anyone who doesn't fancy setting up a demo account just done a quick blog post on the 365 Preview, I'm impressed

I did my second update to Office 365 last week, on a domain that was actually in use. The actual update process went very smoothly: each of the two stages only took under half an hour (with under 300 users).
However the overall migration was not smooth, because the eduupgrade.office365.com site to reset passwords failed to work at all. I was able to log into the site with my test users, using their Live@Edu passwords, but it would not actually let then change the password. I got an error "We can't process your request at the moment" with detail "We are sorry we can't process your request at this time". Microsoft support could not come up with anything, at least not within that afternoon, so I had to arrange to distribute temporary passwords after all.
The problem that I mentioned in my earlier post was definitely occurring consistently: if a user went to the Office 365 login page they would be presented with their email address saved from Live@edu, but if they clicked on it to log in, it would attempt log in to Live@Edu and fail. I also found that if the user had checked the box to save their password on Live@edu, they would get stuck in a redirect loop (with the page blank and repeatedly refreshing) on going to the Office 365 login page - clearing cookies fixes that.

https://eduupgrade.office365.com will at least load for me. It was after logging in that the problems started!
zag (5th November 2012)
@jamesbmarshall would you recomend I start asking users to change their passwords now to the new requirements or wait until the actual changeover?
Our SMT are asking me for a date of our change over and pressuring me to "prepare" for it but i'm a bit lost on what timelines Microsoft has in mind. I don't want to go early after hearing the problems above to be honest.
there's not much point changing your passwords now as they'll have to change again and it will confuse them, even though you could keep the same password if it meets the complexity requirements.
it's worth checking the docs about what dns changes might be required, and if it works start getting them used to the new domain, and don't forget to clear out all cookies, so a little training on that wouldn't go amiss.
I've upgraded several schools from Live@Edu to Officee 365. From an admin perspective it was very smooth, but I've had a lot of users unable to login succesfully.
I've updated licenses so pupils and staff are using Exchange A2 (top of my head). I've then set the homepage to login.microsoftonline.com but I've seen two problems -
As soon as the user navigates to login.microsoftonline.com they receive an error 'Sorry that didn't work' and they cannot do anything other than close the browser. Previously they would of logged straight into outlook.com (I'm speculating).
Secondly, the user sees just their e-mail address on the Office 365 page. Clicking on their e-mail address stupidly sends them to outlook.com which of course no longer works. The fix for this is to click 'Sign in with a different user ID'.
This is going to create me a big headache to sort out. Any easy fixes anyone can share?
Have you tried deleting all the cookies?
Users can still login at outlook.com as long as they use the correct structure of http://outlook.com/yourdomain.com.
@jamesbmarshall - I could get users to do that, but why is it happening in the first place do you think? I migrated three sites at the same time, all with the same/similar problems.
When the user sees 'sorry that didn't work' Microsoft provide no help to the end user to get back to the Office 365 login page. As as I say, all they can do is close the browser. I think this is why it's creating a lot of confusion.
Also what about when users click their e-mail address which is already populated (on the Office 365 login page) they're re-directed to outlook.com? Surely this has to be a bug?
If it has cached credentials from before the upgrade then that may be part of the problem. The upgrade involves changing the identity platform to Office 365 - hence clearing the cookies to see if that helps.
If you've had this experience with a few upgrades then I'd recommend flagging this with support - if there is a problem that needs addressing in the platform they'll need a service request (or several if it affects lots of customers) in order to track it.
My gut feeling is that clearing cookies will solve it.
Michael (21st February 2013)
The first one could be from those who have a saved user password from Live@Edu. The only way I found to make it work again was to delete cookies, as jamesbmarshall says.
We also had a couple of staff members with links to personal hotmail accounts, which every time they used, next time they went to Office 365 it would get stuck in an infinite redirect loop until cookies were cleared. I think we fixed by recreating the hotmail links.
Your second issue occurred consistently when there was a saved user name from Live@Edu - you could tell that the saved login name would not work because it said something about logging in to partnerdomain under the user name. As you say, it is then necessary to use "sign in with a different user ID". I just put up a detail help file to walk the staff through this and had the IT teacher talk the pupils through it.
Another one that we saw was that after Office 365 had been added to favourites, the favourite would sometimes send the user back to the Live@Edu login page for no apparent reason. I never got to the bottom of that - it seems to have gone away on its own.
Just to confirm it's definitely a cookie issue. Question is, why do Microsoft think it's best two slightly different e-mail solutions share the same cookies? Live@Edu and Office 365 should have separate cookies to avoid these kind of problems.
I think it's all been confused because live@edu was basically hotmail, and then office365 was separate, and now hotmail is becoming outlook, but you can use outlook.com/domain for office365 but only if you have an account, but your original account's skydrive will stay separate, and the password for that won't change, but you do have to change your password for O365, so then, no hang on, let me start again...
I blame the EU and cookie legislation, that's easier!
Well two weeks on things have certainly settled. I ended up creating a user guide so staff could delete cookies themselves.
Next question is, when's the new Office 365 2013 refresh arriving? I think new customers can sign into it, but when are existing Office 365 2010 customers being upgraded?
I hope the URL will be staying the same this time!!!
Office 365 Service Upgrade Center for Enterprise - Office 365 Service Updates - Office 365 - Microsoft Office 365 Community - check this out for a view of how things are for enterprise customers; I can't see it being wildly different for education.

By Denise Rondini
LAS VEGAS -- Online parts ordering is a growing trend, based on results from a recent MacKay & Company survey on fleet parts purchasing, presented during Heavy Duty Aftermarket Dialogue, held the day before Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week.
Five years ago, the 769 respondents to the survey said phone orders were the primary (31%) way they ordered parts, with online ordering being the next popular way at 26%.
Today, online parts represent 32% of parts orders and phone calls only 18%.
In five years, those fleets say they expect to be ordering 43% of their parts online and using the phone for only 13% of orders.
Those same fleets, which have 54,000 power units and 76,000 trailers and chassis, order parts from OE supplier managed sites (65%), distribution managed sites (27%), and 8% order from the site with the best price.
The surveyed fleets say they also go online to obtain technical information (87%), research parts pricing (85%), use parts cross-reference (76%) and to check parts availability (76%).
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

I recommend this show - the songs were fun and there was never a dull moment. Our "Mr. Lee" from the audience was a great sport and I laughed out loud at the situation he found himself in.
The Marvelous Wonderettes takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where we meet the Wonderettes – Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts and voices to match! As we learn about their lives and loves, we are treated to the girls performing classic 50's songs.

November 28, 2014
Panama City-- At each school board meeting, different schools select a student of the month. But at Tuesday's meeting, one student received two top honors.
Aaron Pinkerton was recognized as Rutherford High School's student of the month. Rutherford Principal, Mike Kennedy, spoke of Pinkerton's swift reaction during a recent car accident he was involved in.
Pinkerton was stopped at a light and in his rearview mirror, he saw a car coming straight for his. A motorcyclist was in front of Pinkerton so he thought to turn his wheels away from the motorcycle, saving the motorcyclist's life.
Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen also presented Pinkerton with an award for his courageous efforts saving his friends life by calling 9-1-1 when he discovered his friend having a medical emergency.
"He applied quick, decisive action by placing them in the bath tub with cold water running on them and keeping them awake until EMS arrived. Aaron, your quick and selfless action saved the persons life and that accomplishment has not gone unnoticed," said McKeithen as he presented Pinekrton with the award.

I've made this recipe several times. Homemade biscotti make a great hostess gift, and I'm making them this week for a bake sale. All my friends think I'm a genius, but this is really so simple!
I've made this recipe many times and they always come out great! However, I add 1 teaspoon of anise extract and generally add different kinds of nuts: pistachios or macadamias. In addition, I might add dried cherries or golden raisens to the recipe. Everybody that tastes them raves about them and that makes me feel good.
This was my 1st attempt at Biscotti, and my husband and I were very impressed!!! Based on other's suggestions, I reduced the Sugar to 1 1/4 Cups and the Butter to 8 Tablespoons (1 stick); and used a combination of 1 teaspoon ground Aniseed and 1 teaspoon Anise extract. Also, I divided the dough in half (didn't need to refrigerate) and shaped it directly on the parchment lined pan, which worked perfectly! I then waited a full 30 min. before slicing and had no problems with crumbling. Next time I will try drizzling them with melted Ghirardelli White Chocolate flavored with Anise and Vanilla Extracts!
The PERFECT biscotti! After trying many different recipies posted, I found this one to be THE BEST!! The dough is a little hard to work with, refrigerating a bit before making the 1st logs helps. I have also tries adding chopped pistachio nuts, and dried cranberies (soak in steaming hot water for 10 mins beofre using in recipe) and it was definately a holiday hit.
My husband and I really enjoy going to a nice coffee house and having a biscotti to dunk. I came across this recipe and gave it a whirl, We were both so pleased. Myself with the ease of the recipe and my husband with the results!!! I made no substitutions and had no problem with it crumbling. They also look great sitting in a tall glass jar in my kitchen (they didn't sit long, though)
i was surprised by the amount of butter in this recipe, and i do think it can be cut down quite a bit. the butter makes the dough difficult to manage and leaves it quite wet. however, it lends the biscotti a truly nutty and lovely taste once it has been browned. i replaced the anise seeds with anise extract -a little less than a tablespoon. you want to be careful with the cutting part, as it can be crumbly and break up. i also left the biscotti in the oven a little longer during the second baking. i tend to like my biscotti really crisp.
I think I have to stop rating other recipes that I like a 4, because that would discredit this rating. I LOVE this recipe. It is so adaptable and easy, and out came the most tender, delicate, delectible, incredible cookies. Bake them once for tender, sugar-cookie like quality, bake them twice for a crisp crust but still tender inside. A word of advice though: my dough was very sticky, and I had trouble with it. There was no way I was going to be able to transfer the log to my baking sheet and have it remain intact. So I refrigerated it for 20 minutes, them lightly floured my surface, rolled my dough into a ball, then transferred it to my baking sheet and rolled it into a log. I made 2 versions: one with anise seed, cardamom, toasted almonds and almond extract; the other had dried tart cherries, chocolate chips and vanilla. Both are delicious.
This was my first attempt at baking biscotti. Wow! These are great! I used one teaspoon of anise extract instead of the ground for a faint anise taste. They look like store bought but taste much better! I plan to package some of these for teachers gifts! Yum!
These are absolutely delicious and very easy to make. They are a little on the sweet side so you could reduce the amount of sugar if you like. My daughter brought some to work with her and her boss wanted to know if she could buy some from me! They do freeze well. Next time I would wait a couple of hours before slicing.
Very, Very good. I made these today and have eaten about 12 already :) The whole family just loves them. I tried to cut one log into slices after 15 mins, quite crumbly, (but still good bonus was I GET TO eat the crumbled bits)the other log I cooled over night it sliced with nary a crumble at all :) Someone said these are easy keepers, just how do they know that??? Who can keep them past a day or two???? :)TRY THESE

A Manchester woman who took a tumble from her Wii Fit board is suffering an earth-moving side effect of the Nintendo-related mishap: she's now a nymphomaniac. "Randy" Amanda Flowers, 24, was diagnosed with "persistent sexual arousal syndrome due to a damaged nerve", the Daily Star explains. She's susceptible to the "slightest of …
Interesting difference
Shows the difference between UK and USA - in the latter I'm sure Ms Flowers would be reaching for that attorney, whereas here in Blighty it's more likely a call to Max Clifford.
That said, checking the instructions for my Wii-Fit (too many sodas/beers/pizzas to work off) and it does quite clearly warn you about losing balance. Slippery rugs are definite no-no.
Stupid question - but if it's a knocked nerve isn't there something that the medics can do? Joking/sniggering apart - this is bound to be somewhat of a disability.
USA bashing again.
You owe the US bashing kitty a £. From what I hear you're just as litigious over on your side of the pond as we are.
Wonder why nobody ever gets these injuries falling off their Step Aerobics boards? Or a brick?
I guess because the brick doesn't have deep pockets like Nintendo does.
Fair and Balanced USA Bashing though
Having lived on both sides of the pond, I can definitely testify to the UK being much less litigious than the USA. There are a few reasons for that:
1) Punitive damages. Damages awards in the UK are a tiny fraction of what they are in the US. This makes it much harder for lawyers to get rich ambulance chasing and therefore reduces the number of lawyer induced ridiculous lawsuits.
2) No win no fee. This was only recently introduced in the UK, and is a key driver of crazy lawsuits. Interestingly, no win no fee has lots of limitations in the UK, and a frivolous law suit is much more likely to result in extensive costs for the complainant in the UK than the US.
Also another clear sign that litigation is much more likely in the US than the UK is the presence of adverts about companies converting structured settlements into cash now. These adverts don't exist at all in the UK, but are regularly on daytime TV in the US.
Kids, Weddings, etc
As mentioned best fixes are:
Wedding cakes
Not having a shave
Seriously my girlfriend is highly sexed, minimum is once a day, and twice is more normal, if i was at home I dont think she would ever stop!
Also I agree the friction burns, "paper" cuts, etc can be quite painful if you have had a busy weekend!
Re: Kids, Weddings, etc
Man has super-horny girlfriend, active sex life, doesn't want to talk about it on the internet.
Paper cuts?
You are supposed to put the magazine down, or at least hold it in the other hand.
RE: Kids, Weddings, etc
"if i was at home I dont think she would ever stop!"
If she's as highly sexed as you claim, there's a high probability that the sex doesn't stop just because you've gone out to work...

No, just stop!
I'd say just don't bother, The Reg doesn't need this sort of tripe.
I'll be buying the wife a WiiFit then

Why would the doctor ask her if she's taking anything for this. Wouldn't he be able to see from her medical records that she isn't?
He would obviously realise that you cannot get anything over the counter to stop this affliction.
this makes no sense
So she's exceedingly sensitive down below .. so that things happen given the slightest provacation... presumably this becoming hugely disruptive and annoying to her life in itself.
Yet she craves 10 "sessions" a day.. umm. . what for?
And you could ..
Get it laminated. No more rubbers or gels required to protect the bit getting worn out.
There's a picture on one of the tabloids. All those people saying they're "Ready and waiting" had better get their head/sick bags ready!
so that's score one for
sweeping generalisations, then.
the gratuitous offence? there's no charge
Seriously, do you realise how much of a cry-baby you sound?
"Boo hoo, Ms Bee made a funny comment at my expense, waa waa waa"
For god's sake, suck it up, get a sense of humour, grow up and move on rather than whining like a little bitch.
sorry I confused you
Robster, I was attempting to be drole by linking two posts together. As for the "gratuitous offence", I was refering to the offence I was causing. I think my initial response to Ms Bee's comment shows I have a sense of humour through the use of self-deprecation or perhaps you didn't bother to read it? So maybe it's you who needs to grow up or at least learn to understand complicated sentences. You might find a dictionary will help too, you half-witted little bitch.
Re: sorry I confused you
Keep that up, 'UncleRant', and I will zap you.
Still on your power trip, Sarah?
Re: So
That supposed to be a deterrent?
Cause it sure sounds kinky.
what tripe.
Oh dear, is this the level of 'The Reg' authors integrity? Getting stories from the Daily Star, I thought The Reg was the place to come for genuine IT related stories and reviews, but what do I find today, this Tripe, and what a load of twoddle it is. I hope this 'Lester' doesn't consider himself as serious author putting out articles like this, no sorry, not the sort of thing I expect to find here, keep stories printed in the Daily Star/Sun whatever, there, they have no need to be repeated here.
you're new here
grey matter
actually this was part of a Grey's Anatomy show,
so it's gotta be true !
Well, in the interests of help in the community...
OK - I'm willing to take the first shift, who's next?
I'll bet
that the marketing team that thought up this story are now looking at huge bonuses...

I see you're new here, so I'll offer a few tips.
Anything in 'Bootnotes' is fair game.
Anything written by Lewis or Lester will likely be male chauvinistic in nature with liberal helpings of double entendres. I hasten to add that this is mostly tongue-in-cheek.
If you're likely to be offended by this, I would stay away from articles by either in Bootnotes!
Maybe NSFW shold be redefined as Not Suitable For Women (JOKE, OKAY)
leona has never had a tongue in cheek?
Fail? For me making a stupid comment like this.
I wonder
I wonder how she had the board set up? I bet the silly sausage had it set up on a slippery or low-friction surface.
Interesting point above about the difference in reaction between your typical American and typical Brit.

Holy Sanction?
Will this incident result in an edict by the Holy Seat? Banning the Wii Fit from use by catholics? Or is it still suitable for priests able to control it?
Food processor?
Can we start a charity hear to donate gear for the demanding dame? We need one of each: food processor, washing machine, dremel, hammer drill, PS 2 controller, 12v battery with alligator clips, ultrasonic cleaner, paint shaker, 12 speed blender, fish tank pump, krytron switches, rubirosa, a dead parrot, SPAM, a vial with Chilean soil, a peeled mango, a cattleprod and the Claude Villee Biology Primer for Highschool students.

Welcome - as all offers would be
is a mental illness which is sometimes has an aspect of a heightened desire for physical sex to offset feelings of low self worth. You don't want to wish this on your girlfriend; You nip down the shops for five minutes and you return find her naked in the street running after the milkman and don't try to go to work, whatever you do. She then spends a prolonged period in a mental hospital.
Nowadays (i.e. since the invention of psycho-analysis) they talk about hypersexuality; Increased desire for sex for a variety of reasons. But hey, schizophrenia is not multiple personality disorder, why let facts get in the way of a good story.

Gas safety firm set up by Uttoxeter heating entrepeneur
Posted: May 12, 2014|
A GAS safety firm has set up in town to help home owners and landlords ensure the safety of their gas-fired appliances.
Central Gas Safety was set up by plumbing and heating entrepeneur James McCarron this week to help both individual and commercial clients keep their properties safe.
The business, which is based in Westlands Road, offers safety checks, servicing of gas appliances, home inspection reports, legionella risk assessment and electrical checks.
James McCarron, director of Central Gas Safety, said: "I've got a plumbing and heating firm anyway but wanted to keep the gas safety branch as a separate business.
"So Central Gas Safety was created.
"We are targetting letting agents and landlords primarily and offer a personalised service.
"We've already got 45 properties on board and we only started a few days ago so its been a success so far.
"We offer a range of gas safety checks and additional services to ensure that your premises are always kept safe, secure and compliant.
"Our Gas Safe registered engineer will inspect your gas appliances – checking that they work correctly, that harmful gases are being removed, that ventilation is clear and that any safety devices are working.
"Most manufacturers will not come out to a broken down boiler unless it has been serviced annually.
"Our service will ensure that the boiler is working correctly and that you have all of the necessary paperwork. Regular servicing also helps keep your boiler running more efficiently, saving you fuel and money.
"We offer a one-off survey for a set fee regardless of number of appliances that reports on the safe operation of all appliances with the house.
"Legislation requires that landlords ensure all electrical installations are safe when a tenancy begins and that they are maintained in a safe condition.
"Our Landlords Electrical Safety Check provides total peace of mind for responsible landlords and letting agents.
"A new Code of Practice guideline set by the Health and Safety Executive requires all landlords and managing agents to conduct risk assessments for legionnaires's disease in rented accommodation. "Our assessments and reports will confirm whether conditions are present for bacteria to flourish.
"Carbon monoxide is widely known as the silent killer. We have the equipment to test whether carbon monoxide is present within your property and where it is coming from."

Emoticons are little text representations of emotions that you find in email, chat rooms, and IM's. When you talk to someone, they can tell what you mean by the tone of your voice or the look on your face. For example, maybe someone says something like, "Why are you so annoying?"
Now, if they say it while they're laughing, you know that it's just lighthearted humor. If they say it… Continue reading

text: 'Wreck-It Ralph' Review: No Quarters Needed for Animated Arcade Triumph Print article Send a Tip by Lauren Veneziani 2 Nov 2012 post a comment Not since Pixar's "Toy Story" in 1995 has there been an animated film so clever, whimsical and original as "Wreck-It Ralph." "Wreck-It Ralph" is similar to "Toy Story" in that when the humans are away, the characters will come out to play. "Wreck-It Ralph" is one of several video games at a popular arcade. When the arcade closes for the night and the characters are no longer "working," we are transported to this wondrous, interesting world inside the crevices and nooks of the arcade machines. Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) is sick of being out-shined by his video game's hero Fix-It Felix (Jack McBrayer). Ralph's job is to break and wreck the building, so Felix can come to the rescue with his golden power hammer and make the repairs. Felix always wins and gets his golden medal, while Ralph gets thrown off the building by the townsfolk. Ralph is so bummed out by being the bad guy all the time that he sets off into the arcade world to win a golden medal and impress Felix and the rest of his town. Ralph sneaks his way into an armed forces "Halo" type game called "Hero's Duty," where he fights with Sergeant Calhoun (Jane Lynch), a pixie blonde warrior who is programmed with "the most tragic back story imaginable." Ralph also visits "Sugar Rush," a bright kids' racing game that is covered in gum drops, candy canes, chocolate syrup, so much so that it reminds us of Willy Wonka's world. There, he meets Vanellope von Schweetz (a terrific voice performance from Sarah Silverman), a "glitch" in the game, who is consistently made fun of by the other racers and King Candy (Alan Tudyk). Ralph and Vanellope team up, hoping to prove that they are valuable in their own games. Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph" works for three main reasons: an original script, memorable voice performances and bright visuals that complete the settings of the film. The screenplay written by Phil Johnston ("Cedar Rapids") and Jennifer Lee is truly one of the best of the year because it's smart, hilarious and all ages will love it. Every actor gives a great voice performance, but major props have to be given to Silverman who completely disappeared into the young, cutesy wannabe racer, Vanellope. Executive producer John Lasseter (director and the mind behind "Toy Story") certainly helped develop the enchanting world we see on-screen, and his efforts surely paid off. "Wreck-It Ralph" is a perfect film for children and adults because it offers kids a colorful and unique story, while adults will get a kick out of seeing their video game heroes on the big screen. However, don't pay for the inflated price of a 3D ticket, as that extra dimenion adds nothing to this film. "Wreck-It Ralph" is not only one of the best family films of the year, it's one of the best animated films we've seen in a long time.

new Portland restaurants
Anyone have some suggestions for good new dining in the Portland area? I feel like I have been going to the same few places (Flatbread, Ribolitta, Front Room, Ricettas, etc.) over and over again, and am looking for some new places to try. One thing, I am a vegetarian so I can't go to places that are too heavy into meat/seafood. Thanks!
Thank you for your suggestions. The PepperClub is already a favorite of mine. I have tried Blue Spoon for lunch, but found their dinner menu pretty limited for a veggie. However, I LOVE the food at the Front Room down the street. I was more curious about places that have opened up within the past year or so. I tried Caiola's last week, and their pumpkin lasagna was delicious, as was my veggie soup.
Have you tried "The greek Corner" on Upper Exchange. Decent hummus and olives and they have vegetarian moussaka.
Tho I haven't been there myself, I've heard good things about Bar Lola on the Munjoy Hill end of Congress St. (across the st fromBlue Spoon).
Best new restaurant is Vignola. You can go to www.vignolamaine.com
They now have their menu posted.
I haven't even heard of the Greek Corner, I will definitely check that out. My boyfriend is Greek, and we are always on the lookout for good Greek food, even though I usually stick to the spanikapita.
Oooh, I forgot all about Bar Lola. I have been meaning to check that out, thank you for the reminder.
Is Vignola the spinoff of Cinque Terra? I think I remember reading about that a few months ago. If so, I will definitely visit since I love Cinque, but can't afford to dine there as often as I wish.
Thanks everyone!
Greek Corner is okay, but not in the same league as Vignola, Blue Spoon, or even the Pepper Club.
I'd also recommend Hot Suppa for breakfast. Ignore the name; it's good.
I've posted separately about both.
The last time I looked at the dinner menu a few months ago(while on my way to the Front Room), there was only one vegetarian option for dinner. That was it. That always ticks me off, because to me it is like the restaurant is saying you'll eat it and like it, and that's what you get for not eating meat. Now, I have had lunch at The Blue Spoon a few times, and they do offer more options at that time of day. However, dinner seems to be slim pickings. With that said, my company rented out the place for our holiday party a few years ago, and the food was AMAZING. However, since it was a private party, they made a lot of things I don't recall ever seeing on the menu, and they had a heads up that several of us were veggies, so there were actually lots of options for us, which was nice.

Background / General description:
THE WORLD BANK GROUP'S VISION AND STRATEGY The global development community is at an auspicious turning point in history. Thanks to the success of the past few decades and favorable economic growth, developing countries now have an unprecedented opportunity to end extreme poverty within a generation. This is the vision of the WBG: to eradicate extreme poverty by reducing the number of people living on less than $1.25 a day to 3 percent by 2030, and promote shared prosperity by fostering the income growth of the bottom 40 percent in every country. To achieve this vision, this year the WBG Board of Governors approved a strategy for the organization. This strategy leverages, for the first time, the combined strength of the WBG institutions and their unique ability to partner with the public and private sectors to deliver customized development solutions backed by finance, world class knowledge and convening services. The strategy has three components: (1) maximizing development impact by engaging country clients in identifying and tackling the most difficult development challenges; (2) promoting scaled-up partnerships that are strategically aligned with the goals; and (3) crowding in public and private resources, expertise and ideas. The architecture underpinning the strategy and instrumental to its success is the establishment of fourteen Global Practices and five Cross-Cutting Solution Areas* that, in concert with the WBG Regions, will design solutions that address clients' most pressing developmental challenges, and ultimately, enable the WBG to meet its twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. ABOUT THE WORLD BANK GROUP Established in 1944, the WBG is one of the world's largest sources of funding and knowledge for development solutions. In fiscal year 2013, the WBG committed $52.6 billion in loans, grants, equity investments and guarantees to its members and private businesses, of which $16.3 billion was concessional finance to its poorest members. It is governed by 188 member countries and delivers services out of 120 offices with nearly 15,000 staff located globally. The WBG consists of five specialized institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). The World Bank is organized into six client-facing Regional Vice-Presidencies, several corporate functions, and is introducing fourteen Global Practices as well as five Cross-Cutting Solution Areas* to bring best-in-class knowledge and solutions to regional and country clients. *The 14 Global Practices are: Agriculture; Education; Energy and Extractives; Environment and Natural Resources; Finance and Markets; Governance; Health, Nutrition and Population; Macroeconomics and Fiscal Management; Poverty; Social Protection and Labor; Trade and Competitiveness; Transport and ICT; Urban, Rural and Social Development; and Water. The 5 Cross-cutting Solution Areas are: Climate Change; Fragility, Conflict and Violence; Gender; Jobs; and Public-Private Partnerships. THE ROLE OF THE WBG IN EDUCATION Education is central to achieving the Bank Group's twin goals: it is the most reliable route out of poverty, as well as a prime vehicle for promoting societal prosperity and sharing it widely. The main development challenge in the education sector is to achieve learning for all—ensure that all children and young people acquire the knowledge and skills they need for their lives and livelihoods. The developing world has achieved great advances in education in the past two decades, most notably in enrolling and keeping children in school and in approaching gender equality. Yet these successes in expanding access to education have highlighted the major remaining challenges: how to remove the educational barriers faced by the poorest people and those in fragile states, and how to improve the quality of education so that schooling leads to real learning. The WBG and the broader education development community are increasingly shifting focus to learning outcomes. Because traditional input-driven programs often fail to promote learning, the new strategy highlights the need for a more comprehensive system approach to education reform, investments, and service delivery. This system approach is about increasing accountability and targeting results, as a complement to providing inputs. And it also requires strengthening the knowledge base on education, to highlight where systems are achieving results, where they are falling short, and what the most effective solutions are. The WBG is the world's largest external funder of education – with an active financing portfolio of US$8.8 billion, and projections to commit an additional US$5 billion in FY14. At the same time, given that governments and households in MICs and LICs spend over a trillion dollars on education each year, the most important role of the Bank Group is to leverage that spending and focus it on results. As such the WBG has focused on results measurement and orientation, and been a leader in carrying out more rigorous evaluation of program impacts. It has adopted sector-wide financing, pooled funding, performance-based instruments, and reimbursable advisory services to focus support in partnership with other agencies to deliver the greatest results. Support has included financing and ideas. And all these efforts are increasingly guided by the bottom line of the Bank Group's education strategy: invest early; invest intelligently; and invest for all. Through high-quality analytical work, collection and curation of evidence, and practical know-how in these three areas, the Bank Group is helping its partner countries accelerate their educational progress. Going forth, the Practice plans to offer an integrated set of business lines that leverage countries' efforts to equip their populations with knowledge and skills: support for high-quality basic education for all children and youth, beginning with early childhood development (ECD); and support for education for the knowledge economy. In both business lines, the WBG provides support with a mix of finance (ranging from extra MDG-focused IDA support, to new results-based lending and IFC support for scalable private-sector innovations), analytical and advisory work, and convening (as in the case of the recent Learning for All ministerial level meetings bringing together finance and education ministers to accelerate MDG progress). The Global Practice Senior Director will collaborate across technical, geographic and institutional boundaries to help design and deliver development solutions to a diverse range of clients. S/he will be supported by a management team and approximately 275 globally placed staff. The Global Practice Senior Director will report to the two Global Practice Vice Presidents. The World Bank Group is committed to achieving diversity in race, gender, nationality, culture, and educational background. Individuals with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. Note: If the selected candidate is a current Bank Group staff member with a Regular or Open-Ended appointment, s/he will retain his/her Regular or Open-Ended appointment. All others will be offered a 4 year term appointment.

IBM report cites mobile phone hacking risks
IBM researchers released a report on Tuesday showing that some cell phones' security cards could be cloned in minutes, letting hackers make calls and route charges to the cloning victim's account.
The hacking technique studied by the researchers, known as a partitioning attack, analyses power fluctuations in a phone's security identification module (SIM) card, allowing an attacker to divine the security codes stored inside.

Punked US Chamber sues faux press release pranksters
I would think that the very nature that it has been reported even mistakenly as directly from the Chamber of Commerce is enough to warrant at least some lawsuits that will probably stick. And yes, there are some businesses that may have made a decision to join or leave based off of this prank, as there are many out there that do feel rather strongly on these things. It can easily plant the seed of doubt for later as well against the Chamber's reputation leading to hushed rumors of 'how they really feel' etc. Pranksters can be easily forgotten (as I know I've never heard of the Yes Men until now) but the damage their pranks cause can live on. I hate to say it, I'm with the Chamber on this one, even if I dislike the misuse of the DMCA, they should have some recourse to have the site taken down.
**I am not a member of the chamber and don't care if they come or go, just looking at someone going over the line. Isn't it called Identity theft if I did it to you?**

IT grad sues school over failed job hunt
Not sure if this is a private college or not and I can't be arsed to look it up right now, but assuming it is, probably part of her problem is that the Admissions People *COUGHS* SALES DROIDS *COUGHS*. They are usually blowing sunshine and flowers at any new people coming in, over promising their ability to deliver on A) A decent USEABLE education using Relevant Equipment in good working order (Not the IT Department's fault, the blame lies in greedy upper management-types who want a better paycheck to pad their back wallet than caring about the quality of education when 'good enough' will do.) and B) Promises of BIG MONEY when you graduate from their college. I can't tell you how many people I've gotten coming from these places that refuse to do basic tech work because they feel it is below them. Umm, Hello? Anyone home? This is actual Techwork. I'm not asking you to scrub the toilet with a toothbrush here. Maybe just replace a motherboard or hard drive here or there! Or maybe they just don't know how because they vegetated all the way through school and gradutated at the end....
That is probably what happened here, and with those unkeepable promises, she's rightfully upset, but I don't believe that she should be given her tuition back for a few reasons. First off, she attended classes, right? They have to pay their teachers and facilities somehow. 2) were the classes themselves sub-par? Did they prevent her from attending for some unspeakable reason? And many schools give an Audit seat to students if they want to sit back through a class they have taken and refresh themselves on it if they feel they didn't get enough of it the first time. It also seems that too many places are interested only in helping those *about* to graduate, not those who have already done so. Better to keep face with those actively at and about the school than those who are not.
Bottom line? Don't give her anything back but maybe take a veeeeeeeeery close look at the promises being made by their sales drones and find out which ones aren't being ethical about things.
I'll get my coat.

Khloe Frank
Year at UW: Fourth
About me: Hi, my name is Khloe. I'm a senior majoring in neurobiology, and next year I will be starting at UW's School of Medicine. I really love biology and physiology, but I'm also interested in global health and specifically how socioeconomic factors influence health. I hope to have a medical career treating people in underserved communities and also doing research on neglected diseases and/or healthcare program evaluation and implementation. I've been involved with a lot of shadowing and volunteering in medicine, and I did a global health/premed internship abroad in Bolivia for a quarter during my sophomore year. I currently have a job as a student ambassador helping other students get linked with internships abroad. I've participated in medical, scientific, political, and environmental clubs at UW, and I've also worked in two neurobiology research labs. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, practicing Spanish, and hanging out around campus with friends. I am from a small town and have really enjoyed the close-knit community and small class sizes that the Honors program provides at such a big university. Please contact me if you have questions about UW and the Honors program or anything else I mentioned above!

Bowman was a potential candidate in the 2014 election for the U.S. House to represent Indiana's 4th District.[1]

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun
By Steve Brennan
By Ashley Zimmerman
Although his name is not as heralded as Eddie Palmieri, Tito Puente, or Fort Apache Band founders Jerry and Andy Gonzalez, New York-based trombonist Papo Vazquez is as central to the development of Latin jazz as any of those legendary figures. The virtuosic trombonist has been an important part of the New York scene since the mid-1970s, when he was a regular at the Nuyorican Cultural Center in lower Manhattan, and his two live albums for CuBop, At the Point Vol. 1 and At the Point Vol. 2, showed off his dexterity as well as his compositional chops. But Carnival in San Juan is in another class altogether. With a backing band that consists of heavyweights like pianist Arturo O'Farrill, drummer Horacio "El Negro" Hernández, bassist John Benítez, and others, Vazquez merges Puerto Rican folk rhythms like bomba and plena with jazz and funk. The result is aware of, yet unbounded by, tradition. His technical range -- he sounds as impressive on the heavy bomba funk opener, "Carnival in San Juan," as he does swinging over Thelonious Monk's "Stuffy Turkey" -- is only part of the picture. On the album's centerpiece, the 11-minute-plus "En la Cueva de Tan," he showcases a compositional vision that makes the album one of the better-recorded examples of a modern Latin jazz sensibility.

Candice Swanepoel and Adriana Lima at the VS store [Victoria's Secret]
By now, you'll be well aware that the Victoria's Secret show is coming to London this year. We've had 24 hours to digest the news, giving us ample time to get over-excited about the outfits! the acts! the Angels! but there's MORE. Grazia Daily grabbed a chat with two of the glossiest Angels of them all - Candice Swanepoel and Adriana Lima - to find out what they love most about our fair city...
GD: What's your favourite thing to do in London?
Together: Shopping!
Adriana: The shopping is amazing in London and there are some really beautiful sights too. Hopefully today I'll have time to go to Kew Gardens.
Candice: We're always travelling in and out so there's not usually time to see too much, but I do love the English sense of humour.
GD: And are there any British style icons you admire?
Adriana: Victoria Beckham's style is very simple but elegant.
Candice: I agree, she's impeccably dressed. I've worn some of her dresses in the past and they are very A-line, elegant dresses.
Candice Swanepoel loves Victoria Beckham's designs [Getty]
GD: And how would you sum up British style?
Candice: It depends on the individual. I think British women push the boundaries and they're not afraid to show their personality through clothing. There are so many options here in the UK - just driving around, you see so many stores - so you have the chance to be whatever you want to be.
GD: It's quite a contrast to the Coachella style this weekend. How do you go to a festival and still look glamorous?
Candice: I don't know if 'glamorous' and 'festivals' in the same sentence works! But Coachella is definitely more of a fashion forward festival. But really my festival must-have is handwipes!
Adriana: Boho style always works if you're going to Coachella and Alessandra [Ambrosio] pulls it off really well, but I've never been to any myself. Honestly, I'm not like a person who would go to festivals and big concerts because I'm very reserved. I do like see the pictures to get inspiration for my style though.
GD: Are you a festival fan, Candice?
Candice: I do love it because I don't go to clubs so it's nice to go to a festival and see live music. I also love watching live DJs and dancing to electronic music. It's just the energy. Live music gets me going.
Grazia gets up-close to The Angels [Grazia_Live Instagram]
GD: So what are your essentials for summer?
Adriana: Bikinis worn with little light dresses and flip flops are good for me. I love wearing yellow in the summer.
Candice: I tend to wear a lot of denim shorts and summer's perfect for wearing colour. In winter, I tend to wear a lot of beige and black so I have a lot of girly dresses when the sun's out.
GD: Lindsay Ellingson recently showed us her bracelet designs, Karlie Kloss is making cookies, Alessandra Ambrosio and Lily Aldridge are designing... are there any secret talents you've got?
Adriana: My secret talent is jumping rope and cooking. I love to cook Brazilian food. And Candice likes a little Brazilian too. She's always there!
Candice: Yeah, I like to cook Brazilian food as well and invite family over for dinner.
GD: Any hostess-with-the-mostess tips?
Candice: It depends on your guests. My guests are normally family so it's pretty laid back, but just be sure you make enough!
Don't forget to read the first part of our interview with the Angels and swoon over the highlights from last year's show below...

Think you know saxophonist Branford Marsalis? Think again. His latest CD, Songs of Mirth and Melancholy, on which he's joined by pianist Joey Calderazzo, is a departure from his previous material, a drastic departure based less on virtuosity and more on melodic style. Bottom line, it's less note-y. And it's that music that will be the basis for today's concert, Branford Marsalis and Joey Calderazzo: Songs of Mirth and Melancholy.
Marsalis and Calderazzo have been performing together for several years in the Marsalis Quartet, but when the duo performed at the 2009 Newport Jazz Festival things really clicked and the two decided to record together. The result was Songs of Mirth and Melancholy, a collection of originals from the two performers, with the exception of Wayne Shorter's "Face on the Barroom Floor" and Brahms's Die Trauernde.

"I have only played duo with Harry [Connick, Jr.], my dad [Ellis Marsalis] and Joey. And with Joey, I can go in different directions," says Marsalis via press materials. In liner notes for Mirth and Melancholy, he praises Calderazzo's talent and versatility. "There are so few people who can actually create melody – which is why there's an over-reliance on pattern, because it's attainable and melody is elusive: either you've got it or you don't. Joey's always had it, and the technical side as well." 8 p.m. Hobby Center, 800 Bagby. For information, call 713-524-2854 or visit www.musicdoinggood.org. $35.
