Vannoy defends his handling of the case--and of proceeding with the reconsideration hearing despite the absence of interested parties. Neither side, he notes, asked for a continuance.
But the absence of some of the concerned parties happened for a good reason: Hefty had failed to notify the police and the DEA that a hearing had been set. "It was my mistake," Hefty admits now. "But the truth is, I don't think it would have made any difference." The judge, he says, had already made up his mind to release Komesu.
"Now, I recognize that this is a professional before me who has serious responsibility to the community," Vannoy told the gathering. "And I recognize that he violated that responsibility in a very egregious fashion. I recognize that he had huge quantities of drugs that he had stolen from the pharmacy at the hospital. The restitution is over $13,000. And I'm not condoning any of it."
But, Vannoy continued, Komesu's sentence seemed inconsistent with those in other drug cases. Since the initial sentencing, Vannoy said, he'd looked into 7 drug cases in addition to the 25 he'd studied previously. In all, twenty of those defendants received either probation or a deferred sentence. One seven-year-old case involved another Fort Morgan pharmacist who'd taken drugs from his pharmacy. And that man, Vannoy said, was placed on supervision for one year, at the end of which the case was dismissed.
"I felt when I sentenced Mr. Komesu that he should have some prison experience," Vannoy said, but the time he'd served was enough to satisfy the judge. Vannoy suspended the balance of Komesu's sentence and ordered him to serve six years' probation.
Vannoy's ruling, Komesu says, represented "the happiest moment in my life." Cohen was pleased as well: "I felt a real injustice had happened to him." Other drug-addicted pharmacists, Cohen said, have been treated much more leniently than had Komesu.
Hefty professes to be none too happy.
If Vannoy had said in the beginning that he wouldn't accept the plea bargain, Hefty complains, "we would have gone to trial. If the judge had a preconceived notion of what the sentence should be, he should have been up front with us. We could have gone ahead with state and federal prosecution or asked for another judge.
"This guy got out of federal prosecution because the judge accepted the deal. In my opinion, we got cheated. I'll never make a deal like this again."
In addition, Hefty argues, it is futile to strive for consistency in sentencing drug offenders. "Drug cases are all different, factually," the DA says. "A lot of times a guy might get probation, but the judge doesn't understand the defendant got a deal because sometimes you have to go easy on one person so they'll roll over on the guy somewhere on down the chain."
Numbers mean nothing, Hefty adds, "if you ignore the facts behind them."
And indeed, it does appear that Vannoy overlooked a couple of important facts in those drug cases he'd reviewed. Of the 28 defendants who received probation, ten subsequently violated probation (primarily by using drugs or refusing to submit to urinalysis). At least one of them has fled the area. And though the judge noted that the amount of drugs a defendant possessed has not always been a sentencing factor, many of those granted probation had been caught with a small amount of speed or a bindle of cocaine.
Privately, police and DEA officials admit to being angry and frustrated about the Komesu case, although their comments for the record are more sanguine. "The wisdom of one branch of the justice system is not always apparent to the other," says DEA spokesman Carl Hinds.
"We'll never know how much danger [Komesu] put patients in while he was at the hospital," says Fort Morgan police chief Harold Davisson. "We were opposed to anything less than five years in prison. Had we known a resentence hearing had been set, we would have had people there in the courtroom to oppose it. That's pretty much our stance."
"I don't agree with the judge on this case," echoes Kuretich. "I do respect that he took into account the twenty or so drug cases he felt were related and that he based his decision on that. But maybe what we've got is a poor prosecutorial track record." Perhaps, the sergeant suggests, the district attorney's office has been too willing to make deals.
Hefty has until August 18 to appeal Vannoy's decision. He says he is mulling that over now. The Court of Appeals, he notes, "is tough. I don't think there's much chance of winning." Upon his release from jail, Komesu beat a hasty retreat out of Colorado and back to Los Angeles. The pharmacist, says Hefty, "is a con man" who probably "laughed all the way out of Colorado."
Komesu has held a California pharmacist's license since 1982, and the Colorado case has not yet affected his status there. He denies he is presently working in any occupation, let alone as a druggist, but the DEA and the California Pharmacy Board believe he might be employed as a pharmacist in the L.A. area. A spokeswoman for the California board says it is investigating the DEA's concerns and will take action if and when they learn more about Komesu's conviction and the drug-abuse treatment program in which he has reportedly enrolled.

button question [RESOLVED]
I have a quick question on a button, sorry im new to flash. I have searched for button tutorials all over, and in flashkit, but i know how to create a button the only problem is, how to i make a motion tween between up and over without spilling into the frame that is named down.
All i want to do is have the button expand in a motion tween. If anyone could help me that would be great, or if you have a good site that you use please post it.
Thanks in advance!!Generic signature comment!
in flash 5/6 (my flash skills are outdated ) u would put the motion tween in a separate movie clip and add it in the up keyframe of the button...usually movie clips have their own timeline independent of the frame they're in...

I have two Sapote seeds and would like to plant them in containers. How big should the container be to start the seed in? What kind of soil should I use? Would the tree be able to live through the winter in this climate 7 A? I live in North East Georgia. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Ellen from Georgia |
Follow-Up Postings:
I absolutely fell in love with these in Miami. Love the fruit and the tree. I just plant them in a well-draining soil. You can start them in a smallish pot just be sure to pot up once they start to grow. They are EASY to sprout. NO, they will not survive 7a outside--no way! But they are very tolerant as indoor plants in the winter. Pouteria zapota a.k.a. Mamey zapota. |
- Posted by MsMorningSong 10A (My Page) on Sun, Oct 13, 13 at 6:22
NJoasis is correct. Mamey is very, very tropical. I have both mamey and sapote, the sapote can tolerate a light frost, mamey will do nothing of the sort. The seed you have is of a fruit so sweet and apricot/almond tasting, I do hope it lives for you. What a mouthwatering fruit! It's mother is a huge tree when full grown, I'd think you'd have to almost go 'bonsai' with it to have any luck container growing it. The bark is beautiful and a hardwood sometimes used for furniture. Worth trying for sure. I have had some luck in actually cutting the taproot in these types of trees, and trimming rootball and the top of tree yearly (fall) in order to keep it smaller and therefore container grown. Maybe you could do that too, as NJoasis suggests edit: When cutting taproot, if the plant survives it, it is from much love with soil food (not ferts, plant food) and lots of water until/if it recovers. The plant then sprouts many side roots, instead of the taproot. If it makes it, the plant really does thrive, and grows a rootball clump of large, vigorous roots. As odds, 1 in 3 make this transition. Maybe it's all in the genetics of the original seed. Please let us know what happens with yours. This plant only throws fruit every few years, not annually like others, so it would be interesting to hear what happens with yours in zone 7 .

Yeah, look at the link that MMS referred you to. Just to give you a primer on how I got mine going: I used the damp paper towel method to get mine sprouted, then I just laid the seed on it's side with the taproot (peaking out) slightly into the soil. The taproot came out of the end that does not have little dark spot on the light colored strip. I didn't have time to get a good pot together so I just put them in what I had laying around. After about 3 weeks the seed split in half and opened up like a little dinosaur mouth. I don't have a photo of the sprout, but it is thick and tall kind of like an avocado. I put one in a 4" pot which is way way too small. I need to move it over. According to Seng, the growth rate slows down after the initial surge of growth. Here are a couple photos of my recent sprouts: |

Beautiful to see! |
Here is one today (about 8 weeks old.) I moved it into a larger pot and put it closer to the window. Right now it is about 10-12 inches. |
- Posted by shavedmonkey none (My Page) on Tue, Oct 22, 13 at 5:33
I have a black sapote in ground. About 6' plus. Several flowerings. No fruit set. Still too young. But I'm sure mine is grafted and I think the other sapotes also. So my guess is not to expect fruit. Unless yours will be root stock for future grafts. Maybe you could vacation in South Florida during the new flush season and make a graft? Good luck. |
- Posted by MsMorningSong 10A (My Page) on Wed, Oct 30, 13 at 18:59
It's really a nice sapling. Mine grew into a curl, and was so pretty. I mean the base of the trunk. Yours looks so healthy! Good luck with it, I can almost taste the fruit just looking at the leaves :) |

Cowen Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: COWN) ("Cowen" or "Company") today announced its operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
2013 Second Quarter Highlights (1)
- Cowen Group, Inc. reported second quarter 2013 economic income of $1.5 million compared to an economic loss of $6.0 million in the prior year period.
- Second quarter 2013 revenue rose 22% year over year to $81.1 million.
- The broker-dealer segment reported its highest quarterly revenue since the Cowen / Ramius business combination in 2009. Second quarter 2013 revenue was $58.8 million, (2) a $16.6 million increase from the year ago period.
- Brokerage revenue of $33.3 million was its highest quarterly revenue since the second quarter 2009.
- Investment banking revenue improved to $25.6 million, the highest level since the second quarter 2007.
- Assets under management at July 1, 2013 were $9.0 billion. AUM increased by $110 million during the quarter and is up $970 million since January 1, 2013.
- Fixed non compensation expense declined 3% year over year to $23.8 million. These figures reflect the first full quarter of Dahlman Rose in second quarter 2013 results.
- The second quarter 2013 increase in variable non compensation expense reflects the growth in total revenue. Variable non compensation expense was $8.6 million, an increase of $1.4 million year over year.
- Second quarter 2013 compensation to revenue ratio was 59% compared to 63% in the prior year period.____________________________________________________________________________________________________ (1) All financial highlights are presented on an Economic Income basis. (2) Includes broker-dealer segment's allocation of Investment Income (Loss) and Other Revenue.
Peter A. Cohen, Chairman and CEO of Cowen Group said, "We reported a profitable second quarter with economic income of $1.5 million. The broker-dealer's banking and equities businesses reported their best revenue quarter in years. The changes we made in recent years are contributing to our improved results. Ramius is seeing positive momentum across a number of the capabilities on our platform with solid performance and a strong pipeline of client interest. Our fixed expenses as a percent of revenue declined year over year, even with a full quarter of Dahlman Rose in the second quarter numbers. I am encouraged to see results improving across our business units. However, we have a lot more to accomplish in the upcoming quarters in what continues to be a challenging environment."

How to choose this product
Solid state lasers are composed of a solid state amplifier (crystal, glass, semiconductor). The crystal or glass is doped, which determines wavelength. Sufficient optic cavity strip size can result in a powerful laser. The pumping is optical (flashes or diodes).
In semiconductor lasers, the cavity is the diode's p-n junction. The pumping is electrical (low-voltage flow in the junction). The resulting power is weaker.
Applications depend on beam power. Crystal lasers deliver very high power (from continuous kW to pulsed GW), and are used to weld, mark and cut materials.
Semiconductor lasers have low-power applications in telecommunications and in optoelectronics. They are the most common laser type. However, they are also used in high-power applications (kW) such as marking and welding.
The gain medium of these lasers is a solid material. Crystal lasers have optical cavities (YAG, ruby, sapphire) doped with Cr and Ti ions, but also rare earth elements (Nd, Yb, Er, et al.). Semiconductor lasers use a doped silicon p-n junction. Energy is provided at the center via continuous or pulsed pumping.
How to choose
Choice of a solid state laser depends on the desired use. The amplifying unit (semiconductor, crystal) determines the wavelength and the power range. Choice will also depend on the pumping mode (flash lamps, diodes or electrical current), which establishes the mode of operation (pulsed or continuous) and the output power.

We visited for Sunday lunch and were directed to the carvery area. Greeted by the person we took to be 'mine host' we were invited to take our time before visiting the carvery, a menu was not offered for starters or other main course options, we had to ask. Our order was taken eventually and we were again recommended to take our time and relax. 45 minutes later we felt we were not the only ones who were taking their time relaxing, having still not being served with starters. The soup was home made and OK but at £5 a kick was served with dry granary bread but without butter or imagination. Other starters were similarly unambitious yet pricey.
The carvery meats were good but all other elements were tasteless and undercooked, you could almost pour the 'home made' sage & onion stuffing, the Yorkshire puddings were flat and the 'roast' potatoes were deep fried.
Overall the lasting impression was of a friendly family business (the 'waiters' were no older than 14) with delusions of catering competence and a monstrously inflated spend per head. An amateur operation at very professional prices.

HealthBan Ki-moon on World Aids Day The UN secretary-general says the virus is the number one killer in Africa. 25 Jan 2010 15:53 GMT | Health, US & Canada, Latin America, Bangladesh, Mali Children attend a rally to mark World Aids day in Bangladesh [EPA] The following is a statement by Ban Ki-moon, the secretary-general of the UN, on the occasion of World Aids Day on December 1. The secretary-general is currently attending the Doha UN Summit on Financing for Development, which concludes on December 2. I welcome this opportunity to mark World Aids Day here in Doha at this important conference. Aids continues to be one of the most devastating epidemics in history. People are still being infected with HIV faster than we can get them on treatment. Aids is still one of the top ten causes of death worldwide, and it is the number one killer in Africa. At the same time, there has been remarkable progress in recent years. More than three million people are receiving treatment. There have been fewer deaths and fewer new infections. This is in no small part due to the successful mobilisation of funding for HIV/Aids. Related links South Africa's hidden epidemic Islamic agencies tackle HIV stigma Ban Ki-moon on World Aids Day Is enough being done to combat HIV/Aids? In the last ten years, total annual resources available for Aids has increased by more than thirty-fold, from $292 million to $10 billion. I pay tribute to the decision by the US government to commit $48 billion, out of which $39 billion will be spent on HIV/Aids over the next five years. The challenge now is to sustain the leadership that is producing these results. We have to build on what we have started. We have to maintain this momentum, especially during the time of financial crisis. Funding shortages could take a deadly toll. If we falter in our HIV prevention efforts, human suffering will deepen. And as more people become infected, costs will rise. Donors and national governments must uphold their commitment to the struggle against Aids. If not, millions of people will face devastating consequences. The enormous investments that have been made will be undermined. And we will impede further progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Of course, increasing resources in only one among the many actions needed. Prevention has proven to be highly effective and essential. As we commemorate this year the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it is indeed shocking that individuals living with HIV are still denied entry, stay and residence rights. I will work hard to eliminate the travel bans with the concerned national leaders. The need to lead on Aids is as real and urgent as ever. Here in this room, we have tremendous potential to deliver. I pledge to do my utmost to reach our global targets on Aids, and to ensure that the issue is addressed in international discussions on health next year. We must fulfill our commitments to scaling up efforts towards universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support. We must heed the call for "Universal Action Now" made at the 17th International Aids Conference held last August in Mexico, which I personally attended. I was deeply touched by the passion and compassion of the participants, and the dedication of NGOs around the globe. UNAids' role in promoting the attainment of this noble objective will remain critical. Today, on World Aids Day, as we affirm the need for continued leadership from all levels of society in responding to the global pandemic of HIV/Aids, I am delighted to appoint Dr Michel Sidibé as the next executive director of the Joint UN Programme on HIV/Aids (UNAids) and under-secretary-general of the UN. Dr Sidibé, who is from Mali, is currently deputy executive director of UNAids and has worked in the UN for 20 years. He brings a wealth of experience together with a firm commitment to human rights and to greater involvement of people living with or affected by HIV/Aids. This appointment follows an open, wide-ranging search process, led by the Co-sponsoring Organisations chaired by Dr. Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organisation, which has included consultation with governments and other concerned parties through the UNAids Programme Coordinating Board. I would also take this opportunity to express my appreciation to Dr. Peter Piot for his remarkable leadership of UNAids since its creation 13 years ago. Peter has been at the forefront of the global response to HIV/Aids and his successor inherits an organisation that is well-positioned to lead and coordinate the work of the UN in this field in the years to come. We are at a critical time in the fight against HIV/Aids. Despite progress in increasing access to prevention, care and treatment, 7,500 people are newly infected every day. Achieved the 2010 target of universal access to prevention, care and treatment will require concerted effort, new resources and continued leadership from all levels of society – individuals, organisations and governments. I will count on your continued support in carrying forward this effort. Your engagement can mean the difference between life and death for countless people around the world.Source: Al Jazeera

This bundle is three books in one, and the price ranges at various retailers from about $9 to $15 US. But this is a Harlequin bundle so it's coupon eligible – all of these books are. Included are Feet First, Underfoot and Footloose.
Feet First: Designing footwear is Jenny Prillaman's life, so getting the plum assignment to create a socialite's wedding shoes is a dream come true. Dealing with the heiress is another story. So is staying away from her dreamy new boss, a man too hot to deny for long, despite Jenny's best intentions of keeping her business away from his pleasure. Making Bellagio, Inc. an international success is executive Marc Waterson's career ambition. But his life's desire is to find the right woman and settle down. Too bad Jenny would rather follow in his corporate footsteps than try on the glass slippers of a company wife. At least Marc's got one thing going for him–the way to a woman's heart is through a really great pair of shoes!
Underfoot: Bellagio, Inc. public relations genius Trina Roberts had been a bad, bad girl when she'd gone to bed with a recently jilted groom and wound up pregnant. She knew Walker Gordon wasn't looking for forever–at least not with her. So when he took a job overseas, she sort of neglected to tell him about the baby on the way. Well, now he's back…and he's just figured out the truth. Walker had been reeling from a very public breakup when Trina had offered solace he couldn't deny. He'd never expected the result would make him somebody's daddy! Trina claimed not to need anything from him, but he was determined that his child have a father; he just didn't know if it should be him. Because a father's shoes…well, those he wasn't sure he could fill.
Footloose: Even on a tropical getaway, a girl's got to watch out for the sharks… Think working for a leading international shoe company sounds like a dream job? Not if you're Amelia Parker, an overworked, downtrodden temp working for Bellagio, Inc.'s grande dame, Lillian Bellagio. But things are looking up for Amelia. She's just been given the assignment of accompanying Ms. Bellagio to her estate in the Keys. Trading pumps for flip-flops and a cell phone for a conch shell–could be worse, right? Especially when life on the island includes her very own mystery man–one Jack "The Shark" O'Connell, dashing venture capitalist. He dares Amelia to use this time to do something wild: drink a hurricane, go skinny-dipping…have an affair with a dangerously attractive man. Now Amelia will have to decide whether to step into that glass slipper.

Learn about Windows PowerShell
Summary: BATCHman shows how to use Windows PowerShell to locate and unlock user accounts in Active Directory.
Microsoft Scripting Guy Ed Wilson here. In the continuing saga of the world's first Windows PowerShell superhero, BATCHman, and his faithful sidekick, Cmdlet, I once again present Windows PowerShell MVP and Honorary Scripting Guy Sean Kearney.
Whenever trouble happens in systems and people will call,
And darkness rolls out causing your fall,
Creatures of bits roam in the night,
Shine to the sky, the bright bluish Light,
And call to…BATCHman !
…and, oh yes, his sidekick Boy Blunder Cmdlet, too.
Shock! Terror! The Redmond Police office has been rendered useless! A dark shadow has crossed over the LAN!
"Our accounts! Every account in Active Directory locked out!" the police chief stared blankly at the computer screen. He then glared darkly across the hallway at the culprit who is dressed in all black, hissing back at the police chief.
It was the dreaded Script Kitty, Madame CatFile's only daughter. For years, there was a chance of her not assuming her mother's role of foul villainry, and then the worst happened: she saw the cool clothes evil villains wore, and that was that. She was another victim of fashion.
Tonight, she had somehow slipped into the office in the guise of one of the cleaning staff and plugged her laptop into an unwatched LAN jack. She ran her "AttackCityHall.vbs" script in the hopes of unlocking at least one account. Fortunately for the city of Redmond and unfortunately for her, neither time nor password complexity rules was on her side.
Unfortunately, the city had for security reasons designed its Active Directory to not automatically unlock. Thus, the poor police chief found himself in a predicament.
"Hiiiiissssss," Script Kitty hissed again at the chief.
How dare he walk in on her while she was attempting to hack all of the accounts in the city of Redmond? She would have gotten away, too, if it weren't for that oh-so-cute little mouse. She just had to pounce on it! After all, it was a pink Arc mouse. "So rare! Purrrrr," her mind raced and then she was quickly caught and locked up.
There was only one account that Script Kitty missed. She, in her haste, somehow overlooked an administrator account.
The police chief looked over at the blue box on the wall with a small hammer marked, "In case of network emergency, break glass and press button."
The glass shattered, the police chief did the one thing he never thought he'd need to do: he summoned the BATCHman Klaxons.
He pressed the Get-Help button, and moments later, 1,000 loudspeakers inside his office began pumping out a 1,000-decibel warning siren along with a blinding light.
Covering his ears and eyes, he stumbled across the room looking at the deputy. Taking a hammer to the Get-Help button and many sparks later, the sound and light disappeared.
Staring at his deputy, he cursed, "I told you, have them mount the BATCHman warning system outside the office, not inside!" He quickly grabbed his cell phone and dialed BATCHman's private line.
***Moments later with a THUD and WHUMP***
"Never fear, BATCHman is here!" announced BATCHman.
The police chief looked up still recovering from the massive assault of sound and light. "Yes! Thank goodness you're here! We are in dire need of your help!" he shouted above the imagined din.
BATCHman looked. "No need to yell, good citizen. We can h…"
The police chief gestured to all the loudspeakers in the office as well as the broken BATCHman blue box.
"Ahhhh, not again. Must remember, outside not inside."
Quickly the Police chief guided him to the workstation "We're locked out of Active Directory! Only one good account! Need to get in! GUI slow! Ears hurt, too!"
BATCHman thought for a moment. With Windows PowerShell, they could solve this easily. Nevertheless, they'd have to identify the locked-out accounts to make this quick.
Quickly, he entered the Windows PowerShell console and loaded up the ActiveDirectory module.
IMPORT-MODULE ActiveDirectory
Cmdlet looked over. "BATCHman, can we just pull up a user and have it show us whether they are locked out?"
Enjoying his sidekick's enthusiasm BATCHman noted, "Yes, it is possible using the Properties parameter, but the ActiveDirectory module has a far more powerful feature called SEARCH-ADACCOUNT. To find all users locked out in Active Directory, we type this."
SEARCH-ADACCOUNT –lockedout
"But, Cmdlet, if we need to make this go faster and unlock only the computers in a particular organizational unit or OU, we can specify parameters such as –searchbase."
SEARCH-ADACCOUNT –searchbase 'OU=Division31,OU=Locations,DC=Police,DC=Redmond,DC=Local' –lockedout
Now, we can just quickly UNLOCK all the accounts by piping the results into UNLOCK-ADACCOUNT.
SEARCH-ADACCOUNT –searchbase 'OU=Division31,OU=Locations,DC=Police,DC=Redmond,DC=Local' –lockedout | UNLOCK-ADACCOUNT
Cmdlet blinked. One single line? "Holy Simple Simon, BATCHman! Windows PowerShell really is powerful!"
"Yes, it is. Now, quickly have the police chief verify that his staff and he can get in."
The police chief logged in and verified all was well. "Thank you, BATCHman! You have saved the day! You're our hero!"
BATCHman covered his ears from the shouting. "You're quite welcome good citizen."
Forgotten during all of this, Script Kitty looked up at BATCHman and purred, "Your outfit is purrrfectly delightful."
BATCHman looked over. "Yes, maybe someday you'll learn about the power of good and of Windows PowerShell. Crime not only doesn't pay, it has a far worse budget for cool costumes."
I want to thank Sean for another exciting episode of BATCHman. Join us tomorrow when The Scripting Wife learns about creating a profile for the Windows PowerShell console.
I invite you to follow me on Twitter and Facebook. If you have any questions, send email to me at firstname.lastname@example.com, or post your questions on the Official Scripting Guys Forum. See you tomorrow. Until then, peace.
Ed Wilson, Microsoft Scripting Guy
Great job BATCHman,
powershell AD modules are a great help!
They are far nore productive than the commandline, so let's rely on them!
@BATCHman: tell me if Cmdlet has a headache and you need some help!
President of the fan club is something to consider ...

Hi (&(givenName=Ed)(givenName=BATCHman))
What if there are more than 1 DC? What if the account is locked out on some DC and on other is unlocked.
Best Regads, Robin
@Robin - can't happen.
You need to look at the articles on MS/MSDN on AD architecture. "Locked-Ou" is just that: "Locked-Out". An account has two states; locked or not locked. It has nothing to do with DCs.
Hi JV
when searching with LDAP :
PS C:\> Get-QADUser -LdapFilter '(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(Loc
kouttime>=1))' -Sizelimit 0 | ft Name
It finds all locked accounts > verified over dsa.msc and lockout status.
PS C:\> Search-ADAccount -lockedout | ft Name
Dont find that accounts
Any idea?
PS: you know there is replication between the DCs so it can really happen that it gets locked on one DC and it is unlocked on another.
Can't. The replication is transacted around key items.
YOu are thinking of latecy which is the time betwenn when you make a change and when it is completed. Not all elements are available up front. Some are always returned from the master. Account status, I believe, is always retrieved from the master.
Some items are not updated across DCs. Items like LastLogon. This is per-DC. Each DC needs to be queried independently.
If a process has a cached copy of an AD object it may not reflect the current value.
I don't want to turn this blog into a forum. If you really want to pursue this you should post it at: social.technet.microsoft.com/.../ITCG
Thanks so muc BIATCHman,
this was very helpful.

Here in the dead of winter is the perfect time to help many big game hunters understand why the meat they are getting back from the butcher this year tastes more like an old rubber tire than the finest meat on earth. Simply stated, the reason is often because they took horrid care of it in the field. This is especially true if animals are harvested early in the season, when hot weather intensifies the need for rapid and meticulous field care.
The changes in trail cameras over the past decade are the stuff of Star Wars. Today's units are smaller, lighter, have longer battery life, can take incredible high-resolution video and digital photos, and can easily swap data to computers or smart phones. Here's a look at 15 of this year's top new models. All these companies have several models, but we've selected just one to describe here. Visit their websites for more details and a look at the full product line. All companies have been listed alphabetically.
If you're a big-game hunter that dreams of taking a bull elk, mule deer or pronghorn out West, the time to start planning is now.
This is the time of year when hunters eagerly begin planning their 2013 big game hunting trips. Many use the services of guides and outfitters, which makes me wonder why so many people book hunts without doing any research. After all, it is a business deal, and should be treated as such. To that end, here are 10 questions you must ask prospective outfitters before any money changes hands.
Did this happen to you this past hunting season? Before opening day you found a really good buck using your trail cameras, so you set stands, were all a-twitter—then never saw him again all season. Did you think you did something wrong, and forced him to go nocturnal? Maybe—but probably not.
During this year's whitetail rut, perhaps you observed a buck fight. While most "fights" are just pushing and shoving matches often involving young bucks that don't even know they are bucks yet, others are very aggressive encounters. Older, mature bucks do get after it and sometimes those fights can be quite vicious. However, they seldom kill each other. True, there are the rare occasions when bucks get their antlers locked and deaths occur, but most of the time the bigger bucks just put their heads together and do some major pushing and shoving. Seldom will deaths occur, at least not at the time of the fight.
It's getting to be a lot like Christmas—or so the song goes. If you are an enterprising bowhunter who is still looking for an incredible western opportunity where you can buy a license and tag over-the-counter and hunt the entire month, look no further than southern Arizona.
Pre-season scouting, trail cameras, and food plots. These three elements play a large role in many modern-day whitetail hunters' bags of tricks. But when the rut is rolling and the bucks start cruising, a Ouija board might be of more benefit when it comes to getting in bow range of a mature buck.
It's that magical time of year, with bucks chasing does and all Hell breaking loose in places that, for much of the year, can seem like a moonscape for their lack of deer activity. This is when every second on the stand is so important.
Growing up, driving deer was a common technique no matter where I hunted. This was just as true in the West, where mule deer and blacktail hunters tried to push bucks out of deep, brush-choked canyons as it was whitetail hunting. Drives often consisted of a lot of people, dozens even, and it was as much a social event as it was hardcore hunting. Today, the popularity of the deer drive is fading, for several reasons. It's all about stealth now, sneaking into position and waiting for a deer to make the first move, the first mistake. Even when we hunt with our friends, more often than not we go our separate ways once we get to the woods, perhaps staying connected via the text message during the day.
Bowhunt whitetails long enough and you'll find yourself in a situation where you have to try and follow a blood trail after dark. After all, many good bucks do not make an appearance until it is almost too dark to see your sight pins. When you shoot them and they run off, you have to go find them. And while bloodtrailing is more art than science and each situation is unique unto itself, here are some rules that will help you quickly recover your deer.
Trick or Treat? That's the big question you face as a whitetail hunter every time you enter the woods. Do I slip in quietly, like a stealth bomber, striving to get in and out of the woods without being detected? Or do I become more aggressive and try to bring bucks to me, knowing that in doing so I risk spooking Mr. Big and blowing my opportunity for the entire season?
Before you pull the trigger or release an arrow, do you know how to field judge a whitetail deer's antlers? Those who hunt simply to fill the freezer, this is not really an issue. But for those who are hoping to shoot a buck with antlers that meet or exceed a certain numeric score, more often than not, overestimate the size of the antlers, leading to that common malady known as "ground shrinkage."
I admit it. I'm an old guy, and I do not really like technology all that much. When it comes to hunting laser rangefinders and, upon occasion, a trail camera, are about as high tech as I get. I've never been a big fan of using a GPS when hunting, preferring the old school way—the topographic map and compass.
The most popular big game animals hunted in North America—deer and elk—belong to a group of animals classified as "ungulates." Ungulate comes from the Latin word for "hoof", and since all ungulates have hooves, it's quite appropriate. For a long time this extremely large group was considered by scientists as one order, but today "ungulates" refers to two distinct orders, Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla. They are separated by the number of toes each member of the group has. Animals in the order Artiodactyla, which includes elk, deer, bison, pronghorn, and the peccaries) have an even number of toes. On the other hand, animals in the order Perissodactyls, which includes horses and elephants, have an odd number of toes.

I still don't understand what the whole pony thing is supposed to about...¯\(°_o)/¯
My new avatar is Akane from Yuru Yuri. Yes, she's wearing underwear on her head. (She has a thing for her sister. )
How will he react? lol
LOL, no idea! I say we just surprise him!
Yeah, a bit lost on that one. I think that we're supposed to know the link between Nozomi and pony to figure that one out. Silent, please enlighten us please!
In the meantime, the obobskivich October is growing on me more and more. Maybe a bunch of people on other forums can do tha same and we can start a meme.
Not even just that, I mean the pony phenomenon in general, haha.
There's a pony phenomenon?
Octavia October.
Go default!
Currently in-session with Tina Guo - "Forbidden City"
For clarity (@ this hour?) I was speaking to what we covered earlier in the year. And suggested in the spirit of fun (October Obob...). Implied, as it directly followed the four previous posts regarding "OO."
Makes me wanna put Janos Starker back on the shelf for the morning...
Oh I see... okay, obobskivich October is on!
BTW, now have gone 72 hours with a total of under 8 hours of sleep... not feeling my best.
I'm close behind... 6 hours of sleep in the last 50-60. I am dragging. Maybe I need to kick up this once elegant jasmine dragon pearl tea! And when you get a chance, you gotta hear Tina get wicked on electric cello with "Forbidden City."

ok thanks! I knew about Hingis but when it came to Mauresmo I thought she had withdrawn but there's a thread "ALLEZ AMELIE (whether she plays or not)" where everyone is acting as if she's playing, so I wasn't sure anymore.
Jan 7th, 2003, 08:00 PM
Jelena Dokic-wasn't entered
Jan 7th, 2003, 08:02 PM
Hingis, who had earlier signaled her hope that she would be recovered in time for January by submitting an entry for the event, has now notified organisers via the WTA that she does not feel she will be recovered in time to compete.
This moves Maria Sanchez Lorenzo into the main draw.:):):):):)
Cool, I didn't know that she got into the main draw!
Jan 7th, 2003, 08:19 PM
Amelie and Hingis? Yep, they're meeting in the finals ;)
(selesrules, you need to take a closer look at that thread)
I think the men's side has taken an even bigger beating in terms of who won't be there.

The question now is whether Nathalie Dechy will withdraw, after pulling out of Canberra. This report indicates the answer is still uncertain.
Apparently Ashley Harkleroad is the next MD entry if anyone does withdraw.
"Dechy in doubt for Australian Open
| 7sport.com.au ... 07 January 2003 07:01pm |
Australian Open seed Nathalie Dechy could be a late withdrawal from next week's tennis grand slam if she fails to recover from a thigh injury which has forced her out of the Canberra Women's Classic.
The Canberra top seed and world's newest women's champion retired from her first round encounter with unseeded German Marlene Weingartner when she was trailing 0-5 in the first set.
Dechy, 23, from France, will spend the next few days in Canberra receiving up to three physiotherapy sessions a day in an effort to be fit for the Open and avoid sacrificing her first top 16 seeding at a major event.
But if she continues to experience pain from her strained quadricep, Dechy said she would withdraw from the Australian Open.
"If it's still painful I won't play another tournament," she said.
"But I really think and hope it will be better to start on Monday.
"The good thing is I've played enough matches to be confident and be ready for the grand slam. I don't need to go out and practice 10 hours a day.
"I know my condition is good, I just have to get my leg better."
Dechy moved up the world rankings to No. 19 overnight after claiming her first WTA title on Saturday at the Uncle Tobys Hardcourts on the Gold Coast with a three-set win over Swiss teenager Marie-Gaianeh Mikaelian.
But her dream start to the year faltered when her leg injury, which she carried through the Gold Coast event and struggled with last season, returned with a vengeance - something she partly attributed to Australia's hard surfaces.
To avoid further aggravation before the Open, Dechy decided to pull out of the Canberra event and concentrate on her recovery.
"I could not do anything for the match and it could get really worse and I still want to have my chance in Melbourne so it's better to stop here," she said.
With fellow Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo, Martina Hingis of Switzerland former Australian Jelena Dokic absent from the Australian Open, Dechy will move into the 16th seed position, when they are announced on Wednesday."

At a Swell Season performance a couple of nights ago (Swell Season is Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, the people who won the Academy Award for Once, beating out August Rush somehow, so you know they're good [ZING for no swell reason]) Jason Segal took the stage. I guess they are all friends? Anyway, Jason Segel sat behind the piano, and after some light banter in which he explained that he'd asked Glen and Marketa for songwriting advice and that they had said to include lots of "personal details," Segel performed a very "personal song" with backing from the band. Some might say TOO personal!
So, there were no special effects in Freaks and Geeks, Jason Segel's penis is not a giant black penis (that joke was sort of weird, huh?), and his phone number is (315) 329-6673. Which brings us to our latest Videogum Everywhere "mission": let's none of us call him. He seems like a nice guy, and he has been in a lot of funny movies and TV shows, and although he probably already changed his phone number, or at the very least, gave this particular phone to a personal assistant to manage, in the off chance that this is still his real phone number, we shouldn't bother him.
In the comments, please feel free to describe how Jason Segel reacted to your not calling him. Did he enjoy being allowed to go about his day without some complete stranger intruding upon his privacy for no good reason other than that he or she saw his phone number on YouTube and was bored? Did he smile at the realization that being left alone is all around us?! The best part of this particular "mission" is that it is ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED! Good work, everybody.

Right now Jason Segal is calling his cellphone from his landline, just to make sure it's still working.
Apparently Jason Segal lives in my area hence the shared area code.. That is how area codes work right? One would think the name is self-explanatory…(its the upstate NY area)
To be honest, the only person I care about Jason Segel's reaction to not calling him is Lindsay. Don't call Jason Segel, Lindsay! And then tell us about it.

ARLS Kickstarter Debrief: Trials and Triumphs and Takeaways ::
Sunday, September 14th, 2014
I finally added them all up. As of September 2014, I've been involved in 8 Kickstarter campaigns as a key contributor. 5 of which have been tremendously successful, and 3 that were total flops. The campaign nearest to my heart is Atomic Robo Last Stop. I'm incredibly proud of the work our team brought to bare. Of course, like every artist I can only see the flaws, but even I can't deny there is some really great animation at its core. Robo was an amazing experience but also a slog. For artists dipping their toes into crowd funding for the first time, I offer some advice that I've picked up along the way. Much of this stuff is common sense, but hopefully helpful none-the-less.
Stay Cool
It's easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of a successful, momentum gaining campaign. With Robo, we got carried away with stretch goals and rewards. Plan Stretch goals before you launch with a level head. Even if you don't announce them right away, pre-planning allows you to crunch the numbers so you can be sure to not overreach.
The Internet Abhors a Vacuum
Share what's going on. There were large stretches of time between updates for ARLS. Mostly because progress was so slow. To me, posting the same thing over and over got tedious. Most backers took the silence in stride, trusting that things would work out and offering huge support every time we made an announcement. Some were more demanding and didn't really understand the process and got understandably upset. Being more frequent with updates would have helped smooth things over.
Date at your own Risk
This one is especially true for the indie outfits creating complex mutli-person efforts. Do not announce dates. Ever. If you think you'll be done by a certain time, you're wrong. It doesn't matter the task, Murphy's Law will show up to the party to mix things up. Announcing loose goals is fine, but we got burned a couple of times on ARLS for announcing too soon. Internal and external pressure led to premature announcements that left us with egg on our face and frustrated backers. Things would have been totally different if this was a full-time and not free-time effort. Because of the nature of our schedules the company line should have been — "Ready when it's done"
Logistical Lockup
I went through 3 different people before finding the person right for the reward delivery. My advice, find this person first. Don't trust that things will "work out" when you get to the reward fulfillment stage. This is one of the most important people on your team, regardless of their direct contribution the actual project itself.
Uncle Sam
The good ol' US of A is amazing. And as cumbersome as our Postal Service can be, it's pretty dang amazing when you think of what the system accomplishes in a day. Unfortunately it's also incredibly slow and expensive in ways you can't understand until you start shipping. Now that we're in the middle of shipping the remainder of our rewards we have a much better idea of the stumbling blocks, and how to avoid them.
Ask For a Little Too Much
This one is pretty obvious but needs to be mentioned. Ask for more than the reward is worth, that way the work the people are paying for is what get the the most attention. Don't burn your budget fulfilling rewards when the project itself was the draw in the first place. It's easy to become a victim of your own success if you over promise. This happens way too often on Kickstarter.
Pay it Forward
Do a great job. Make a great product, and show people that their trust in you is well placed. People want to back a winner, not feel silly and taken advantage of. Even if that means paying out of pocket. ARLS ended up costing much more to produce than we raised from the campaign, but sometimes that's just how these things go. The only alternative is quitting. And let's be honest, if you've gotten far enough into a project to launch a Kickstarter campaign, quitting was never really an option.

Welcome Alisha + ARLS Update with brandnew SFX ::
Monday, February 3rd, 2014
Hello Fictory Fans and Friends!
I was just brought on by the Fictory to do one very important and so far neglected job… keep you all informed! The team at Fictory has a lot of exciting projects going on, and they are hard at work. Sometimes, they get so busy 'doing' these incredible, fan-driven projects they aren't 'showing' their progress. That's what I'm here for! I've been granted access to all the creative team members of the Fictory and all of the projects in the pipes to bring updates, sneak previews, and maybe even hand out a couple sweet prizes. Check in with us weekly to catch up on the latest news!
Our first Fictory team update is, of course, in regards to Atomic Robo. If you don't know, Atomic Robo is an animated short based on a popular graphic novel. The Fictory planned a small indy project and ran a super successful Kickstarter campaign to fund it. The fans of Atomic Robo came through so overwhelmingly that the initial plan had to be scrapped. The amount of support demanded a much higher quality project and well… they got ambitious. They brought in a larger production team of really talented individuals to bring their skills to the project. As the scope of the project grew, the team and the production timeline grew as well.
Now all that work is paying off, and the Fictory is proud to announce the final stages of production! As of right now, the team is putting together the credits with the names of each and every one of the Kickstarter donors. As soon as the DVDs are pressed, the remaining rewards will be shipped out complete with every part.
Our sneak preview this week is from Atomic Robo- One of the areas the team chose to really bring in the best was in the sound quality of the short. They worked with Joe Fitzgerald previously on American Terror: Company Man and hired him back into the studio for this short. Listen to a sneak preview of the audio and check out his contributions! Sorry, only Kickstarter backers can USE THIS LINK TO WATCH for now!
Just In case you missed it the first time around, check out American Terror too!

Is life steal a heal? If so, that means that Executioner's calling would reduce heals from life steal? Right or wrong? Sorry if it has been discussed already.
I am also curious.
Senior Member
I think I've heard somewhere that it isn't affected.
My opinion: Heal - something you use, medications, leaves etc etc to regen yourself Life Steal - sucking blood to regenerate wounds while wounding others, how would you prevent that? XD I think it doesn't count as heal effect and thereby heal reduction effects shouldn't reduce it.
I can't tell you the answer but if the -heal in the game is based upon difficulty in knitting up wounds and whatnot I would think that lifesteal should be affected: you need X% more 'life' stolen to knit up your wounds for the same amount.
Executioner's Calling also reduces regeneration, as well as, healing. Is it possible that Life Steal is considered a regeneration effect? If so, then it would surely affect it. Sadly, I don't know.
I want to say that lifesteal is reduced by anti-healing effects. I remember a few games where I'd peg a Warwick with the Explosive Shot active from Tristana and it always seemed to help. I'm not 100% certain, though.
I don't know for sure. I've been told it is a healing effect, but I haven't tested. The right way to check would be in a 1v1 practice game for that purpose but I'm lazy. Remember that Warwick's ability is NOT lifesteal, though. Warwick doesn't have built in lifesteal. Nassus does, though.
Heres a question if it reduces regeneration will it lower the regen from Mundo's ulti?
it lowers all regen you get from items,passives,ultimates

$(document).ready(function() or $(function()
Hello all. I have fairly simple questions regarding modifying this script: http://papermashup.com/create-a-dynamic-form-preview/ to dynamically show different parts of a form on another part of the page. I am looking to use it on most parts of my form and would like a little clarification.
First is the use of $(document).ready(function() or $(function(). It works using either, my question is which is preferred? As I understand it using $(document).ready(function() starts the DOM immediately on page load and is useful if you need something right away. I am also using this script: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...formwizard.htm for the form. Since the preview script is being used with the form to wizard, I don't really need it until the rest of the form loads.
Another question would be, is there a cleaner way to go about using the preview script on say 10 different form inputs independently? For example in a single function rather than 10 different function/updates?
I have an example of what I am trying here: http://jsfiddle.net/anhyG/1/
Thank you in advance for any help!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The following is a selection of Israeli Arabic press quotes on 4
Kul Al-Arab [independent]: [From editorial] "Sarkozy and Obama said
about him a liar who cannot be trusted. And before that German
Chancellor Angela Merkel said the same thing. This is Israel's Prime
Minister Netanyahu in the eyes of his closest allies, who harbour enmity
for the Arabs and the Palestinians for his sake... Since the leaders of
those countries know that Netanyahu is a liar and conman, by what right
they demand of Mr [Mahmud] Abbas to return to grinding hollow words and
to the inequitable equation of negotiations whose results are known in
advance...? It is forbidden to return to the separate negotiations in
any form and the issue must be left in the international arena because
this is the sole way that might achieve the desired result."
Al-Sinnarah [independent]: NB: The paper was not distributed today in
the region.
Al-Ittihad [organ of the Israeli Communist Party]: [From editorial] "The
Supreme Court's decision to confirm the conviction of former president
Moshe Katzav for two rape charges and sending him to prison for seven
years is a real victory for all the complainants whom he had sexually
assaulted when he occupied prominent positions in the state... Though
the confidence of the [Israeli] Arab masses in the judicial system is
weak, the time has come to deal with this precedent as a matter that
concerns us... It is the right of our Arab women to hope that when their
dignity is defiled and they are attacked, the judiciary will treat them
Sawt Al-Haq wal-Hurriyah [organ of the Islamic Movement]: [From
editorial] "The latest racist crime which happened in East Jerusalem was
committed by a young settler under the banner of 'Tag Price',
threatening the Arabs with death... A criminal settler followed him and
ran over Palestinian farmer Abd Al-Latif Hakim from Salfit while he was
returning from the olive harvest, killing him... Since we Arabs know
that those gangs harbour evil for us and we do not know where they are
going to strike, we must be watchful in the mosques, churches, schools,
institutions and other places... We remind that the duty of guarding
ourselves and our institutions falls on us alone..."

Better Vision confirmed as added value for professionals and end-consumers
Two years after its launch, Rodenstock is pleased about the success of this project
Launched in Italy in 2012, this innovative project involves direct contact with consumers by pointing them toward Rodenstock's partner optical centers via major communication media, social media and dedicated apps. By using Rodenstock's Better Vision Method, tools and software, optometrists guide end-consumers all the way to the delivery of the Perfect Eyewear, a complete vision system of Rodenstock lenses and frames.
The path taken by consumers and their optometrist toward the creation of Rodenstock's Perfect Eyewear begins with an objective refraction examination using the DNEye? Scanner followed by the subjective measurement of far and near binocular refraction.
The next step is the choice of the most suitable frame for the consumer's vision needs and facial structure, videocentering and the identification of individual parameters thanks to the precision of ImpressionIST 3. Supported by Rodenstock Consulting software, eye care professionals then provide consumers with detailed information about the differences, characteristics and advantages of ophthalmic lenses before undertaking the calculation stage (refraction index, diameter, construction) and the order via WinFit Reference software.
The path ends with the delivery of the Perfect Eyewear, the result of Rodenstock expertise and the eye care partner's professionalism. Rodenstock's objective is to enhance the professionalism of optometrists by making historical know-how and leading-edge ophthalmic instruments available to them so that end-consumers will be guaranteed excellent service and products.
