Homosexuality (rarely homophilia) is a sexual orientation or orientations characterized by romantic or sexual desire for, or sexual attraction toward, members of the same sex. The termusually implies an exclusive or predominant sexual orientation toward persons of the same sex, and is distinguished from bisexuality as well as heterosexuality. In addition to referring to a sexualorientation, the term homosexuality is also used for sexual behavior between people of the same sex.
In women, romantic or sexual desire for other women is also called lesbianism(lesbian, noun and adjective). The term gay is used to refer to homosexual persons of either gender, although it is mostly used to refer to males (hence the expression gays and lesbians or gay men andlesbians). Persons with the sexual orientation of homosexuality are sometimes called homosexual (noun and adjective). Many people regard the term homosexual as derogatory or clinical because of its cold,antiseptic connotation, particularly when applied to a person, and because 'homosexual' was used as a description of a pathologial state, before same-sex attraction was removed from the AmericanPsychiatric Association's list of mental disorders. Most western people who regard themselves as having a homosexual orientation prefer the term gay, lesbian, or, less frequently, queer (sometimescapitalized as Queer) or 'same-gender loving'.
The term homosexuality was coined in 1869 by Karl Maria Kertbeny in an anonymous pamphlet advocating the repeal of Prussia's sodomy laws. It was listed in 1886in Richard von Krafft-Ebing's detailed study on deviant sexual practices, Psychopathia Sexualis. The word homosexual translates literally as "of the same sex," being a hybrid of the Greek prefixmeaning "same" and the Latin root meaning "sex." Although some early writers used the adjective homosexual to refer to any single-sex context (such as the Roman Catholic clergy or an all-girls' school),... [continua]

Desmoplastic melanoma morphology on Thinprep: A report of two cases Becky L Van Ells, James E Madory, Rana S Hoda Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, 165 Ashley Avenue Suite 309, Charleston, SC 29425, USA
Correspondence Address:Becky L Van EllsDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, 165 Ashley Avenue Suite 309, Charleston, SC 29425 USA© 2007 Van et al; licensee Cytopathology Foundation Inc.This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.1DOI: 10.1186/1742-6413-4-18PMID: 17880690
Background: Desmoplastic melanoma is a variant of malignant melanoma that can range in appearance from sarcomatoid to scar-like. Cytomorphology of desmoplastic melanoma has been previously described on conventional smears; however, to our knowledge, detailed cytomorphology on ThinPrep has so far not been described. Herein, we describe the cytomorphology of two cases of desmoplastic melanoma on fine needle aspiration processed as ThinPrep slides and compare it to that seen on conventional smears. Pertinent immunocytochemical stains, performed on ThinPrep slides are also discussed. Case presentation: The first case is a woman with a history of desmoplastic melanoma of the scalp with previous local recurrences and lymph node metastasis with a new submandibular mass. The second case is a man with a previously resected desmoplastic melanoma with his first local recurrence. Conventional smears, including air-dried Diff-Quik-stained and alcohol-fixed Papanicolaou-stained smears, demonstrated aggregates of pleomorphic spindle cells admixed with fibrous stroma and single spindle cells. In both cases, nuclei were elongated and plump with irregular nuclear contours, deep grooves, and folds. Chromatin was dark and coarse with either inconspicuous or multiple prominent nucleoli. Cytoplasm was located at the nuclear poles and was fine, wispy, and delicate. The background was clean with no evidence of necrosis or melanin pigment. Papanicolaou-stained ThinPrep slides were prepared from needle rinses and demonstrated excellent correlation of nuclear and cytoplasmic detail of single spindle cells to that seen on conventional smears with the exception of only slight decrease in nuclear size; however, nuclear and cytoplasmic detail of spindle cells embedded in stroma was markedly attenuated. Confirmatory immunostain for S-100 protein in both cases was performed on ThinPrep slides demonstrating crisp cytoplasmic staining in the spindle cells. Conclusion: The cytomorphology of desmoplastic melanoma shows excellent correlation between cytomorphology of single spindle cells on conventional smears and on ThinPrep slides. The major difference noted on ThinPrep slides was attenuated nuclear and cytoplasmic detail of spindle cells embedded in fibrous stoma.

Salami was on target in Tornadoes' 1-2 defeat to Shooting Stars at the Adamasingba Stadium in Ibadan. Going into the weekend's games, the Tornadoes man was tied at 16 goals with Musa, but his consolation for the Minna side may not have won any points, but proved enough to put his name in the record books.
Despite hitting the landmark, the forward told the Premier League Official website npl.com.ng that his primary concern was helping Tornadoes do well, rather than chase the top scorer's award.
"Anything can happen in football. I am not saying that I won't like to win the highest goal scorer's award, but my main concern is to play for my club and make sure that we do well in the league.
"But since I have the chance to win something for myself I will not mind and I will not allow it affect the target of the club," Salami said. And with three games left to play in the season, Salami now has a chance to set a new record.

I know age isn't important journaling, but I'm just curious about the average age on Oasis these days..
Always hold your head up high

But I've been mistaken for a high school freshman instead of a college freshman. I look like a little kid, apparently. Don't act it though.
Until Thursday. Much too soon, if you ask me. I love being youthful. I act a lot older though.

Visiting Denmark? Why not stop by Graceland?
June 21, 2010
So, you say you're going to Denmark and want something to do besides visiting the local cannabis coffee shops.
Well how about visiting Graceland?
Yep, the town of Randers is getting it's very own Elvis museum which will be a replica of Elvis Presley's Memphis home, Graceland.
The museum, which is set to open in April of 2011, is the pet project of Henrik Knudsen who already runs an Elvis museum in another town which he opened 15 years ago.
Knudsen's current museum has about 25,000 visitors a year and he hopes that the new museum will see somewhere between 75,000-125,000 Elvis lovers visiting per year.
Knudsen says, "This exact copy of Graceland will include some 6,000 original possessions of the King like clothing, boots, guitars, letters, contracts and other diverse objects." It will cost approximately $4.3 million to build and will also feature a shop, restaurant, and theater where Elvis movies will play.
No word yet on if there will be any cannabis coffee shops close by, though.

There are actually numerous ways to do that. If your script is complex, I'd use use Perl Net::FTP or Kermit.
HOST=xxx FTPUSER=xxx FTPPASSWORD=xxx ftp -n $HOST <<-EOF user $FTPUSER $FTPPASSWORD cd /wherever bin prompt off mget '*' bye EOF
Finally, ftp already has a somewhat primitive scripting language built in to it. "ncftp" or "lftp have even more capability, but here's a basic .netrc (see man netrc) for normal ftp.
----$HOME/.netrc 600 perms -- machine somewhere.com login mylogin password mypass macdef init lcd /appl/fp/merge cd /appx/data/50/XFR/Data put artrx.tab TRXFER.dat quit machine someothermachine.org login whatever password pass macdef init hash bin prompt off machine yetanother ...
The first example (somewhere.com) logs in, changes to a local directory /appl/fp/merge, then changes to /appx/data/50/XFR/Data on the server and "puts" a file.
With this in place, the command "ftp somewhere.com" will do the "put". You could set "prompt off" and use "mput" or "mget" in the .netrc also.
The second just logs you in to "someothermachine.org" , turns on hash, etc. and then you can type your own commands.
You can fully script more complex things with:
#!/bin/bash echo "machine somewhere.com login mylogin password mypass macdef init" > $HOME/.netrc echo "lcd /appl/fp/merge" >> $HOME/.netrc echo "cd /appx/data/50/XFR/Data" >> $HOME/.netrc for i in *.tab do echo "put $i ${i%tab}.dat" >> $HOME/.netrc done echo "quit" >> $HOME/.netrc echo " " >> $HOME/.netrc # always end a macdef with a blank line chmod 600 $HOME/.netrc ftp somewhere.com
Fri Mar 12 20:24:04 GMT 2004 FTP through a proxy (netrc)
In case you ever run into a situation where you need to ftp through a proxy server and want to use a .netrc file, this worked for me:
machine ftp.xyz.com login tyua166 passwd tyua166dt macdef init user "[email protected] 15181" M2UDGHP ..(commands here) quit
The "tyua166" and "tyua166dt" is the login to the proxy, not the ftp site. In this case, the proxy required us to go to a specific port (15181) and the password was M2UDGHP.
The quotes around the user name and port number are required because of the port number.

British Airways Are Experimenting With Biofuels |
Unlike vehicle emissions from cars, air travel accounts for a relatively small proportion of global C02 emissions. However, this proportion is steadily growing as aeroplane travel becomes an increasingly popular and accessible alternative to road and rail throughout the world, and as the automotive industry puts many measures in place to reduce its own carbon footprint. The industry doesn't have the flexibility of the automotive industry to trial and test new technologies and fuel alternatives as freely; developing technology and insurance in aviation is a lot more costly and lengthy than that of automotive technology and motor trade insurance. Both British Airways and Etihad Airways have been experimenting with alternative biofuels, but replacing standard aviation fuels is a logistical and technical challenge as finding a truly efficient alternative would mean sourcing one that doesn't require excessive transport, or land occupied by trees and crops. The big drive in reducing emissions from surface transport means that now the shift is turning to the aviation industry.
The industry is taking this seriously. Etihad Airways has teamed up with the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology and Boeing on a largescale research project that will aim to cultivate and bring to the mass market a sustainable biomass suitable to use as aviation fuel. The companies have together created the Sustainable Bioenergy Research Project, based in Abu Dhabi. It will find a solution by studying how the Earth's existing resources, such as algae and arid landscapes can contribute to producing biofuel. They have already found one viable method; through a combination of salt water farming, mangrove forests and cultivating salicornia, they have found this can be a potential way of making biofuel.
In addition, British Airways has joined forces with American energy company, Solena, to build in East London Europe's first sustainable jet fuel plant. The revolutionary plant will be built to convert various waste materials that would otherwise be destined for landfill into a gas substance. It will then convert the gas into liquid aviation fuel through a cutting edge new process called Fischer Tropsch synthesis. The facility, due for completion in 2014, will produce 16 million gallons of green jet fuel per year from 500,000 tonnes of waste. This is more than twice the amount required to convert all of British Airways' flights from London City Airport carbon neutral.
Perfect flight
Meanwhile, air traffic control units are doing their bit to aid reduction of C02 emissions. The British NATS (National Air Traffic Control Service) has created the 'perfect flight' profile. This involves planes taking off and landing smoothly, and taking the most direct routes to their destinations. Descent would be made at a higher rate to save fuel. The NATS conducted a test flight recently between London and Edinburgh, which cut C02 emissions by a whole tonne.
Air France and Airbus also teamed up last year to combine several methods of fuel saving. Their Continuous Descent Approach, which cut down on biofuels and optimised air traffic management, cut emissions by half.
Next generation air planes
Boeing recently launched an exciting new model – the 787 Dreamliner – which cost around $32 billion to produce. It is made of light weight composition materials and uses around 20% less fuel than its older counterpart, the Boeing 767. Certain design features aid its green capabilities; for example its streamlined raked wings reduce wind drag. The inside cabins are also designed to be a lot more comfortable for the passenger, with the build material enabling better air quality and pressure, and more space.
Airbus is also showing its capabilities in the industry with the launch of its own next generation aeroplane, set for completion in 2013.
Engine technology
Aerospace companies are looking at the possibility of using open rotor engines, which could enable substantial emission reductions. These could be used on medium and short haul flights, which could make a huge difference to overall fuel emissions of the industry. Open rotor engines have been around for a long time, having been introduced in the seventies. The technology uses an advanced, multi-blade version of the traditional propeller, which improves efficiency. Introduction of these engines could reduce carbon emissions by up to 30%.
NASA is also playing its part, having long since run many research projects in aviation. It has created the N + 3 programme, which focuses on using technologies that are three generations more advanced than those in use today. In 2010, Massachusetts Institute of Technology worked with the NASA N + 3 programme to produce an aircraft with the combination of two airframes that were merged to create a wide fuselage. This provided extra lift for rapid ascent and landing.
It is clear that big steps are being taken by the aviation industry to follow in the footsteps of the automotive industry in reducing carbon emissions; it has taken some time to get there, but the technology that is being developed could revolutionise the way we travel and the impact it has on our planet.

Stadium Lease: Onto Thursday
Let's move to the Thursday stories on the stadium battle. In the Post, we have "
Private Stadium Funding Canceled, Deutsche Bank Deal Collapses
": "A District government plan to use $246 million in private financing from Deutsche Bank to help build a new baseball stadium has collapsed, a political blow to the D.C. Council, which spent months pushing to reduce public investment in the project. D.C. Chief Financial Officer Natwar M. Gandhi said the deal has been called off in part because the bank was seeking a $5 million fee to structure the financing arrangement. But another complication emerged yesterday when bank spokesman Ted Meyer said the bank had a signed contract with the District and remains entitled to the payment if the city uses the bank's strategy." (What? A snafu surrounding the stadium? How un-US-u-al!) The article is chock full of council members backpedaling like mad from the Deutsche Bank private financing plan, which of course was not part of Mayor Williams's original financing plan, it was added after the council insisted on private financing options being investigated.
The WashTimes's story is "
Mayor: Lease vote will go off Tuesday
", saying that the council should have by Friday the information they need on the plans to have the construction companies and the AWC be responsible for construction/land acquisition cost overruns (although the contracts themselves may not be done by then). Some council members are expressing skepticism. If the council vote fails, the city will have to go to arbitration with Major League Baseball. Fasten your seat belts. it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Lease, Council, Etc.
Today's lease stories: from The Post, "
Stadium Pact To Be Revised For Financing
," and from the WashTimes, "
Council fails to reach deal on stadium lease
." No one is leaping up and down with joy about the new agreement, and while Mayor Bow Tie says he'll get the documentation about the construction agreement to the council by Friday, council members appear to be suspicious of any promises that aren't backed up with legally binding documents, so a Feb. 7 vote is looking kind of iffy.
And here is the AP story on the
mayor's comments during his weekly briefing
today. Guess what? He's optimistic
! UPDATE, 9:50 pm
: NBC 4 says that
Mayor Tony is getting tired of it all
, and saying that it's time to put up or shut up, and vote on the agreeement: "I think it's now time to have a vote. I do not have any intention whatsoever this time of withdrawing the legislation. I think we just need to have a vote. And if you want baseball, this is what we have."

Virco Announces First Quarter Results
TORRANCE, Calif., June 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Virco Mfg. Corporation (Nasdaq:VIRC) today announced first quarter results in the following letter to stockholders from Robert A. Virtue, President and CEO:
Our first quarter results reflect the continued softness in public school funding. Sales declined by 16% from $23,668,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to $19,890,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Although sales declined, pre-tax operating loss improved in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the comparable period of the prior year from $(4,817,000) to $(4,484,000).
Publicly funded entities are continuing to suffer severe budget challenges. Although tax revenues are recovering to pre-recession levels, structural spending deficits continue to adversely impact budgets for education spending, typically the largest line item in a state budget. Most states, cities, counties, and school districts are facing continued constraints in operating budgets requiring cutbacks in personnel and services, leaving less money for replacement furniture. Completed bond funded construction projects, for which furniture is typically purchased and installed, are expected to decline modestly in 2013 compared to 2012.
As discussed more fully in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company has made substantial reductions in its cost structure over the last two years, enabling the Company to reduce operating losses for our traditionally slow first quarter despite a reduction in revenue. A voluntary early retirement program in the fall of 2011, normal attrition of employees who were not replaced, and a small reduction in force completed in May of 2013 have contributed to this reduced cost structure. The Company is entering the summer of 2013 with approximately 30% fewer employees compared to the summer of 2011. This reduction in force was concentrated in manufacturing, and included both direct labor and indirect positions. The intent of the Company is to meet the seasonal demand for production and distribution through more aggressive use of temporary seasonal workers. Aggressive use of seasonal labor will enable the Company to reduce structural spending during the traditionally slow first and fourth quarters.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

New year's resolutions rarely work. Especially the last minute resolutions you make after having a few to drink. This year I did not bother with any and surprisingly, probably due to a more relaxed attitude I naturally gave up nicotine and joined a gym.

I've been living with the Nokia E71 smartphone for a little more than two months and I'd say that I'm feeling pretty comfortable with the ins and outs of this particular handset. Shortly after I bought this S60 smartphone, Nokia launched its Ovi Store to compete against the iPhone's App Store, the Android Market, and the BlackBerry's App World.
The Ovi Store represented a good step in the right direction, but many of the best apps for the Symbian platform are still found at various other locations around the web. The core functions on the smartphone are fine, I suppose, but apps really expand what a phone can do. Nokia and Symbian still have some catching up to do in this area, but there are still plenty of apps to consider.
Speaking from my own perspective, three of my favorite apps thus far are the following. This list, of course, is far from exhaustive.
With so many apps out there to consider, I have not had the time to try them all. Further still, not all of them are free. If there are any developers out there who want me to try their paid apps, feel free to send me a copy for free! All kidding aside (I'm not really kidding), here are three apps that I want to take out for a test drive but haven't done so yet.
Are there any glaring omissions that I should have included in either the list of apps I have or apps I should try? I'm still on the hunt for the ideal WordPress mobile blogging app, but I'm very happy with Google Sync (via Mail for Exchange) for contacts and calendar synchronization.
You may also try the free @SociallyApp (http://bit.ly/6mFra0) on Nokia phones. It supports Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and integrates with the phone book by showing the profile photos and latest status of the callers during incoming calls. Here's a review – http://blogs.nokia.com/dailyapp/2010/02/socially-can-tell-you-whats-up-before-answering-the-phone/
nimbuzz is excellent
i agree ! i love it :)
Nimbuzz is a good free IM client for the S60
yes nimbuzz is the best….I have used all such social clients for my e71 but nimbuzz takes the center stage!

(died circa 843 BC) In the Hebrew scriptures, the wife of King Ahab of Israel. The daughter of the priest-king Ethbaal of Tyre and Sidon, she persuaded Ahab to introduce the worship of the Tyrian god Baal-Melkart into Israel, thus interfering with the exclusive worship of Yahweh. The book of 1 Kings tells how she was opposed by Elijah. After Ahab's death Jezebel's son Jehoram became king of Israel, but Elisha encouraged a general, Jehu, to revolt. Jehoram was killed, and Jezebel was thrown from a window to her death. Dogs consumed most of her body, fulfilling a prophecy by Elijah. In history and literature she became the archetype of the wicked woman.

This is a very helpful article. I was at an estate sale last weekend looking for used yard tools and equipment. I saw several old wheelbarrows at really good prices.
There was wheelbarrow I really liked. It was in better condition than the others I saw; it had no rust. However, it had a flat tire and I decided not to buy it because of the tire. I had no idea I could repair the wheelbarrow myself, and so simply.

Is your Pilot shuddering like on a bad road?
As a group we can get Honda to finally look at this problem and quit telling us it is normal. I have a 2013 that does this, while my 2011, 2010 and 2006 did not do it. Oh the 2011 we still have and it is perfect like the many, many other Hondas we have owned.
[non-permissible content removed].
For the first time ever my Wife and I can say we do not like a Honda we own.
Honda is handing this as they never have any problems before.
Join and get yours fixed. Thanks Larry

Just purchased a used 2011 Pilot EX-L with 40K miles. A week later noticed the shudder while accelerating between 15-25 mph. Shudder felt like I was driving down a wash board road. Only lasted but a few seconds. Wife noticed it again a few days later. No warning lights are displayed so not sure if it will produce a code. Read about the class action lawsuit just settled regarding this issue. I'm looking for more information. What causes this? How does Honda fix it? Any direction would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Have a 2013 Pilot. We are experiencing the same "shudder" when the car shifts at different speeds (especially between 40 and 60 MPH). Its very annoying. We have taken it in 3 times. Ironically, my neighbor has the same vehicle, color and all. I asked her if she had the same issue. She is experiencing the exact same problem.
The dealer said it drives normal. However today, when the dealership's technician drove it, he was able to feel it. They are doing a scan of the data from the torque converter (not sure exactly how that works). They said this is becoming a common complaint, but Honda does not recognize it as a problem (smart people). The scan is being sent to a "master" technician at Honda corporate. I'm hoping this fixes this annoying problem.

Data Dial Tone Billing Rates
Data Dial Tone Access
Desktop access is used for 10/100/1000 Mbps access for PCs, network printers and in-building servers.
Server access is used for 10/100/1000 Mbps access for network servers in an internal data center or in the DMZ.
Switch access is used for connecting an agency access switch to the OTM aggregation switches in the data centers. Agencies need to provision two ports on their access switch for this connection.
Description |
Monthly Rate |
Desktop Access 10/100 | $20.00 |
per port | |||
Desktop Access Gigabit | 49.00 |
per port | |||
NW Server Access 10/100 | 38.50 |

Svr Access DRAC Port 10/100 | 15.00 |
per port |
A Support Service fee of 0.5% shall be applied to the monthly cost of this service.
There are no setup or installation charges for initial establishment of Data Dial Tone service in a new building. There are no fees associated with activating new ports or deactivating existing ports. Other charges may apply to port or network architecture changes, depending upon the complexity of the change. Additional wiring infrastructure changes made after initial building occupation shall be coordinated through OTM, but shall be done at the expense of the requesting agency.
A Support Service fee of 0.5% shall be applied to the monthly cost of this service.
Consolidated Network Access and INTERNET Bandwidth
Agencies subscribing to Data Dial Tone service are billed for Consolidated Network Access (CNA) and a selected bandwidth subscription for DMZ and user INTERNET bandwidth.
Data Dial Tone Wireless LAN (WLAN) Service
OTM offers Wireless LAN (WLAN) service (802.11b/g) in all of the buildings served by Data Dial Tone in the downtown Baton Rouge Capitol Park. OTM will provide free Internet Only wireless access in one common area of each Data Dial Tone building, generally the first floor where multiple shared conference rooms and/or training rooms are located. Any agency that subscribes to Data Dial Tone may use this service in these areas.
Agencies will also have the option of subscribing to a paid service in other areas of their home building, consisting of an installation fee and a monthly charge per access point. Subscription options include 1) portal-dependent guest user access, 2) VPN-dependent agency user access and 3) VPN-independent agency user access. Agencies are charged for each access point in their area. The access points will be installed according to the radio frequency (RF) study done by OTM that will allow for optimum speed and access on that floor. Installation will be designed to serve the entire area on that floor. For example, if an agency in the LaSalle building wants WLAN access available on all of the 11th floor, and OTM's RF study indicates that it requires two wireless access points to provide full coverage on that floor, the agency will be charged for two access points. It is important to note that these access points will become part of the shared Capitol Park wireless infrastructure and will be accessible to all authorized users for Internet access only. Authentication to use the wireless network will still be required.
The service is designed to serve authorized building residents, visitors and guests. OTM will not provide "open" wireless access for the general public that may be attending a meeting in a conference or meeting room within the Capitol Park. WLAN is offered as a convenience but is not designed to be a replacement for the wired desktop line of service. It is a shared technology and offers best effort service, with no guarantee as to speed of transmission, although OTM plans to place access points at locations which optimize service.
Guests to the Capitol Park must be authorized by the hosting agency to use WLAN access. The agency must issue user ids and passwords for the authorized guests to use for the duration of their stay.
The process requires a relationship exist between OTM's Access Control Server and the agency directory server prior to use. Once the relationship is established, agency IT personnel will be given information that each end-user will use to configure the WLAN client on their wireless device, as well as login instructions. Access is allowed to the Internet only on the following TCP/UDP ports:
25 (SMTP email)
80 (web)
110 (POP3 email)
500 (UDP only, ISAKMP)
Agencies that require access to internal resources must use either the Data Dial Tone Virtual Private Network (VPN) service or the VPN-independent agency user access option. VPN is the preferred access method.
There are no monthly fees for WLAN use in these shared areas, but there is a setup fee for each agency subscribing to this service.
Description | Monthly Rate |
OTM-Provided WLAN Service | No Charge |
Additional WLAN Access Point | $42.50 per access point |
Description | Installation Rate |
Installation of WLAN Access Point | $110.00 |
A Support Service fee of 0.5% shall be applied to the monthly cost of this service.
Data Dial Tone Virtual Private Network (VPN) Access
Virtual Private Network (VPN) access is available to an agency participating in the Louisiana Secure Intranet (LSI). It allows an end-user to access private agency resources via a non-secure network (i.e., the Internet). An example might be the IT support person who subscribes to cable modem service at home, but uses a VPN client to access the agency network to maintain a server.
The two types of available service are group account and site-to-site account.
Group Account--A group account is intended for use by a group of users that belong to an agency but work in various remote locations (at home, on the road, in other agency offices, in wireless LAN areas). Each user in the group must have some type of Internet access, and the ISP must allow use of VPN on their network. A group account has a single set of rules for access that apply to everyone in the group. These rules are for security purposes and can be customized based on agency need (using TCP/UDP ports and protocols). Allowing two different types of users access via VPN--for example, employees and outside contractors--might require two different group accounts because the rules for access by each group may be different.
Group accounts are billed by number of simultaneous users. Each agency decides how many concurrent users they want to allow on each VPN group at any given time. If they choose five, for example, when a sixth person tries to connect that user will be denied access. There will be no set bandwidth limit for those five users.
Site-to-Site Account--A site-to-site account is intended for use by a remote office or third-pary site (single location) connected to the Internet with multiple users/systems that need access to agency internal resources. This is usually more cost-effective than a direct connection to the agency. With site-to-site VPN access, the remote office can participate in the internal agency network as if it were directly connected.
Just as with group accounts, each site-to-site account has a set of security rules to control access to the internal network that can be customized based on agency need (using TCP/UDP ports and protocols). Site-to-site accounts are sold in increments of bandwidth, and the bandwidth subscription applies to the entire group of users at the remote site.
Authentication and Use
Group Accounts--Users may access the VPN system either via a web portal (clientless) using any standard browser or using Cisco's AnyConnect VPN software client, which is free for distribution and will be provided to the agency IT department via the web when the agency subscribes to this service. Each agency must maintain its own directory of user ids and passwords that are allowed VPN access. In order for authentication to take place, each agency directory server must be set up to interface with OTM's VPN system (via RADIUS, LDAP, NT Domain, Kerberos, TACACS+, or SDI).
Site-to-Site Accounts--Site-to-site VPN requires hardware at the remote location. OTM recommends that it be a Cisco solution to ensure compatibility. It can be a router or firewall running VPN software. Configuration and templates for setup will be provided to the agency IT department. OTM will not be responsible for configuration of the equipment at the remote agency location.
Once the site-to-site VPN has been defined and configured, it is a permanent, "always-on" connection and the remote site functions as a remote location of the primary agency.
Billing rates are as follows:
Group Account | ||||
Description | Monthly Rate | |||
2 Users | $30.00 |
5 Users | 60.00 |
10 Users | 100.00 |
15 Users | 140.00 | |||
20 Users | 180.00 | |||
25 Users | 210.00 |
Site-to-Site Account | ||||
Description | Monthly Rate | |||
0.5 Mb | $36.00 |
1 Mb | 72.00 |
2 Mb | 144.00 |
Each additional Mb is an additional $72.00. Example: 3 Mb is $216.00
A Support Service fee of 0.5% shall be applied to the monthly cost of this service.

Report: Israel, Saudi Arabia cooperating on possible attack on Iran
Posted By admin On November 17, 2013 @ 7:00 am In Featured Stories,Tile | Comments Disabled
With nuclear talks set to resume Wednesday, Sunday Times reports Israel, Saudi Arabia heightening cooperation, in bid to formulate contingency attack plan on Iran should talks succeed in reaching agreement, but fail in halting Iranian nuclear program
Ynet [1]
November 17, 2013
The Mossad is currently working with Saudi Arabian officials on contingency plans for a possible attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, the Sunday Times reported.
According to the paper, both Israel [2] and the Saudi kingdom are skeptical of the nuclear talks between Iran [2] and world powers and are working together on a possible attack plan should such an agreement actualize but fail to stop the Islamic republic from continuing its nuclear project.
"Once the Geneva agreement is signed, the military option will be back on the table. The Saudis are furious and are willing to give Israel all the help it needs," a diplomatic source is quoted by the paper as saying.
According to the Sunday Times, as part of what it called the growing cooperation between Jerusalem and Riyadh, it is possible the kingdom has already given Israel a green light to make use of its airspace in the case of an attack.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (July 2006) |
In employment law, hostile environment sexual harassment refers to a situation where employees in a workplace are subject to a pattern of exposure to unwanted sexual behavior from persons other than an employee's direct supervisor where supervisors or managers take no steps to discourage or discontinue such behavior. It is distinguished from quid pro quo sexual harassment, where a direct supervisor seeks sexual favors in return for something within the supervisor's powers, such as threatening to fire someone, or offering them a raise. Quid pro quo has been recognized as actionable for decades, but courts have only recognized hostile environment as an actionable behavior since the late 1980s as they made findings that the loss of employment or constructive dismissal has been caused by such behavior. Some situations that have been ruled to constitute such a hostile environment are:
Contents |
Where a hostile environment is alleged, the legality of behaviors must be determined on a case by case basis. In the workplace, such a claim focuses on the working conditions that must be endured by the victim as a condition of employment, rather than on tangible job changes. To establish whether the situation is actionable the "totality of circumstances" must be weighed with an eye to determining "that the harassment affected a term, condition, or privilege of employment in that it was sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the condition of the victim's employment and create an abusive working environment".[1] To rise to the level of hostile environment, the behavior must be frequent, severe and pervasive. It is not enough that a single such incident, or a few isolated incidents, have occurred, or that only one employee engages in such conduct (unless that employee is in a supervisory capacity).
To establish a prima facie case for hostile work environment sexual harassment, the alleged victim must prove the following five elements:
Tolerance must be the rule in certain workplaces, and the standard for what constitutes a hostile environment differs from workplace to workplace.[citation needed] For example, it would hardly be fair to hold a strip club to the same standard as a law firm, although a strip club could still harbor a hostile environment if management took no action to prevent the dancers from unwanted attention outside of their normal job routine. For example, if a club had a strict "no touch" policy, allowing bouncers or bartenders to persist in unwanted touching could constitute a hostile environment. Moreover, the sensibilities of the most sensitive employee are not the standard—the conduct must be objectionable to any reasonable person.[citation needed]
However, an employer is not allowed to tolerate a hostile environment merely because one sex dominates a department or job function. An employee is entitled to an environment free of lewd, inappropriate behavior such as sexually derogatory jokes and obscene materials, especially in public areas.
Recently, some males in all male workplaces have made claims of hostile environment, often because they became uncomfortable with the sexual banter common in a department and were further denigrated for not joining in such behavior.
There is no universal standard as to what constitutes a hostile environment, and cases with very similar situations have been decided differently. Moreover, the standard of finding the employer liable is very high—the plaintiff must show that the employer was actually aware of the behavior, or should have been aware of it under reasonable circumstances. It is also not enough to show that sexually suggestive behavior occurred—the plaintiff must show that the employer could have taken reasonable steps to stop the behavior. For example, the employer could not be held liable for such behavior if it occurred at a bar after work.
A caveat, however. If the comments are made by a supervisor to a subordinate at the bar and they carry negative impact over into the workplace, the subordinate may make a claim for harassment, based on a hostile work environment.

Grand Central Miami's Brian Basti and Megan Laich Launch New Bar, Piano Hollywood at Hard Rock Casino
Keyboard Cat isn't lined up to play at Piano Hollywood, but you never know, right?
Remember when it was all about dueling pianos? The excitement, the entertainment, the audience participation -- the seniors shuffling and frat guys moshing their way up the front to deposit their song requests and scanty tips!
That ship has sailed, and when it did, so did 88's Dueling Piano's at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. What did they get to fill the gaping void left in its place?
The new venue, Piano Hollywood, has been taken over by by Miami nightlife veterans Brian Basti and Megan Laich. Together they form the bar consulting and cocktail catering business Crown Concepts, and Basti is a partner with Aramis Lorie at Grand Central Miami.
The bar will have its "reinvented grand opening" as an "intimate music venue and artisanal cocktail lounge based around the piano" Thursday at 8 p.m. We're dying to see what these party starters are going to bring north to the Hard Rock.
They've spent a combined 30 years building up Miami's budding underground and indie scene, working alongside Poplife -- which was founded by Basti's sister Barbie and Lorie. Basti calls that collaborative superteam "my business partners and some of my best friends." He adds that they'll be helping with some of the marketing and booking of this project. "We will be working with Poplfe along the way."
With well-known Dade County venues like high-energy Grand Central, pizza spot Ecco, and the always classic PS14 under their belt, you best believe these guys know a thing or two when it comes to nightlife.
There's no surprise, then, why the owner brought them in as Crown Concepts to handle all aspects of the new venue, from cocktail creation, staffing, and operations to booking and marketing.
"I was a bit skeptical at first," says Basti of the location, a popular nightlife destination for tourists and locals alike. "We have always had live music venues, but they were geared around a heavier sound, and we always worked with DJs. At Piano, we will not have any DJs, and all the music will be acoustic."
