An Out-of-the-Box Business Case
Novell Identity Manager 4 Advanced Edition Ships with an Airtight Built-In Business Case
Written by Bill Tobey
As a regular Connection reader you're probably well aware that Novell Identity Manager 4 begins shipping this month. You may have seen a demo at BrainShare, or read some of the press coverage. Hopefully you're already thinking about a business case to justify the upgrade to your management.
The good news is the Identity Manager product team has done most of that work for you. The development of Identity Manager 4 was fundamentally driven and directed by the concerns and priorities of business and executive management. This release is a software love letter to C-level management, with an airtight business case baked into the initial requirements.
Why should identity management and user provisioning matter to management? Because they directly affect the organization's operational efficiency, compliance and security. Consider just a few statistics:
- New users often wait up to three weeks for full access to the systems and services they need to fulfill their work roles. That's a serious productivity hit.
- Password resets account for up to 35 percent of help desk calls, and cost up to $40 per call. It adds up quickly.
- Up to 60 percent of all user accounts are invalid, because users aren't de-provisioned promptly. Or ever.
- Access control accounts for 30 percent of enterprise development costs.
- Compliance consumes up to 25 percent of the typical IT budget.
Let's take a look at some of the new technical features that directly address these important business issues. To be clear, we're talking primarily about Identity Manager 4 Advanced Edition, the enterprise-class member of the Identity Manager 4 product family.
Advanced Reporting and Metrics
If there's anything that warms the managerial heart it's quantifiable evidence of improved performance, especially when that improvement is documented in auditable, black and white, bound and collated detail. Business-side stakeholders will swoon when they see the comprehensive suite of reporting capabilities that have been tightly integrated into the Identity Manager 4 product core.
What it is – To prime the analytical pumps, Novell is providing a variety of widely informative reports, with out-of-the-box templates that are easily customized with the included packaging tool. The new Identity Reporting Tool leverages event-driven data collection and a dedicated reporting warehouse to provide consolidated visibility into users' provisioning status changes and compliance events across physical, virtual and cloud-based resources. It effectively breaks down the walls of security silos across the enterprise. It's also easy to import third-party reports from sources like iReport. You'll see not only current status, but also the historical trending and forensic views—who has access to what and who authorized it—that auditors are increasingly demanding. Robust automation minimizes IT support requirements and costs with features that include graphical run scheduling, policy-based data collection, completed report distribution and storage.
The user interface provides simple, intuitive access to an overview of existing reports, their current status, and the systems under management. (See Figure 1.) A scheduling interface provides a configuration menu for defining run time, frequency and other settings. (See Figure 2.) A repository displays definitions and schedules for all existing reports. (See Figure 3.) And a calendar display shows all scheduled report runs. (See Figure 4.) Completed reports document many views of user activity, resource provisioning, access and policy events, such as a per-user record of separation of duties policy violations. (See Figure 5.)
Why it's important to management – The new reporting functionality in Novell Identity Manager 4 Advanced Edition provides meaningful insight into your organization's user provisioning operations. It lets you compare actual and desired access states for individuals, groups, roles or resources. It gives you the insight to increase productivity, tighten security, measure performance and reliably document provisioning events for compliance.

I have yet to watch the "Race to Nowhere" education documentary, but I hope to catch it this week, when it plays at the Grand Lake Theater, 3200 Grand Ave.
You can see it today through Sunday at 4 p.m., 6 p.m., 8 p.m. or 10 p.m. From Monday through Thursday it screens at 6 p.m., 8 p.m., and 10 p.m.
The filmmaker's description:
Featuring the heartbreaking stories of young people across the country who have been pushed to the brink, educators who are burned out and worried that students aren't developing the skills they need, and parents who are trying to do what's best for their kids, Race to Nowhere points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace, students have become disengaged, stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant, and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
Race to Nowhere is a call to mobilize families, educators, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens.
I wonder how widespread this phenomenon is in Oakland. A 2011 YouthTruth survey by the Center for Effective Philanthropy found that students at the typical Oakland high school (13 schools participated; Oakland Tech did not) perceived their academic work to be less rigorous, on average, than did students surveyed at the other 150 high schools nationwide.
If you've seen "Race to Nowhere," I'd love to hear your take on it (no spoilers, please!). Do you think kids are assigned way too much homework and live in an overly competitive achievement culture?

Kano — A visit to Kano's famous museum reveals its delightful history, memorable gallaries -- and numerous challenges. One of the best known historical buildings in Kano, that had once served as a temporary palace of the emir before it now houses the city's collections of arts, crafts and other historical materials, is Gidan Makama (the house of Makama). The building, turned into a museum, appropriately called Gidan Makama Museum, is attracting tourists to Kano city on account of its excellent architectural design and the priceless collections it holds. Located in the heart of the city, the house is believed to have been built in the 15th Century AD by the then emir of Kano Abdullahi Burja for his grandson Rumfa. It was said that Burja decided to reward his grandson's show of bravery by building the house for him. It became Gidan Makama when the emir appointed Rumfa as the Makaman Kano. Rumfa lived in the house while he was Makama and also when he eventually became the emir of Kano. He was living in the house when he decided to build the present emir's palace, and he relocated to the new palace on completion.
However, his relocation did not change the position of the house as it continued to serve as a residential place for all subsequent Makaman Kano. It served as their resort whenever they were in the city, and most especially when they came to Kano city for the durbar during the Sallah.
Gidan Makama had also served as the abode of the colonial masters. When the British conquered Kano in 1903, the architectural beauty of Gidan Makama attracted their attention and they decided to have it as the residence of the colonial officers. When the then chief commissioner of Northern Nigeria Frederick Lugard (later Lord Lugard) came to Kano, he also lived in Gidan Makama.
How it became a museum
A senior technical officer in the education department of the Gidan Makama Museum, Mr Dominic Yerima, while taking our correspondent round the house, described how Gidan Makama became a museum. He said Lord Lugard had in a way played a role in converting it into a museum. "Because Gidan Makama is such a very big edifice with beautiful architectural design, the then colonial governor Lord Lugard decided to split the house into three. One part of it was converted into Gidan Makama Primary School, the other part remains as residential area for the Makaman Kano, and the last part was made a museum in 1953," he said.
What Gidan Makama Museum showcases
As one enters the gate that leads to the museum, the sight of some gigantic pots on the outer premises of the museum welcomes the visitor. The pots are so big that a grown up person can enter into one and sit comfortably. The pots are said to have been excavated at the Kofar Kabuga, one of the gates around Kano city wall (ganuwa) through which the colonial masters entered and conquered Kano. There are various explanations as to the use of these pots, but a popular tradition states that they were buried along the city-walls by Kano kings for protection in the olden days.
Other exhibits at the entrance of the museum are two cannons which, according to Yerima, were abandoned by the colonial masters when they conquered Kano. They are believed to have been part of the arsenal with which the British conquered Kano in 1903. One is for long range shots while the other is for short range shots. Four of such cannons were discovered at a military barrack at Bompai area of the city but only two were deposited at the museum.
The Gidan Makama building is partitioned into nine galleries (each called zaure), with each gallery showcasing a particular aspect of the ancient Kanawa (people of Kano) life. Zaure is the main entrance of a typical Hausa building. Explaining what is exhibited in the first gallery, Yerima said they are items related to building materials of the ancient Kano. It is with these materials that the Gidan Makama was built. They include makuba, a kind of soil additive used as cement and paint by the ancient Kano people. There is azara, palm trees used for thatching roofs, and some other materials used for building. At the other side of the gallery is the olden day's gate of Kofar Waika (one of the Kano City Gates). It is a very big iron gate, and attached to it is a metal slate with some Arabic inscriptions believed to be a charm for protection.
As one leaves the first gallery, on his way to the second one, there stand other big iron gates including the Kofar Kabuga gate through which the colonialists got into the city and conquered it in 1903. Also on display in this gallery is the map showing the Kano city walls, its original number and its expansion to the present 19 gates.
The next gallery depicts the history of Kano city from its pagan period to the present day. A shrine of an idol called Tsumburbura could be seen on top of Dala hill with a picture of worshippers under the hill. The idol was under the care of the chief priest called Barbushe and under him are several lesser priests. It also gives the story of the earlier invaders of Kano land led by Bagauda, and how they conquered and imposed themselves on the ancient Kano people.
On leaving this gallery, one is ushered into another where an illustration of the history of Kano in the 19th century is showcased. The structure of the Habe (non-Fulani) dynasty and the Fulani dynasty is shown. Next to this gallery is a place where the occupation of ancient Kano people is depicted. Exhibits of farm implements and hunting instruments are shown. Explaining the types of crops grown at that time, the technical officer said crops such as millet, sorghum, cowpea and groundnut were cultivated.
The samples of war instruments such as iron and leather shield, sword and gun are exhibited in the next gallery. Yerima said the iron-made shield was donated to the emir of Kano by a German envoy. Next to it is the gallery showcasing the royal regalia. Here the royal shoes, staff, worn fan and turban are shown. Exhibits of musical instruments are showcased in the next gallery for fun seekers.
Immediately after this gallery, the pictures of Nigerian nationalists such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sardauna Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, among others, are showcased, and alongside these are the pictures of some of the colonial masters in the next gallery.
Darul Islam (House of Islam) is the next gallery. As the name suggests, the gallery is all about the Islamic heritage of the Kanawa. On display is the information about the pillars of Islam, astrology, a copy of a hand-written Qur'an, information about the Maliki school of thought, portrait of a Qur'anic teacher on a leather mat with the slate and ink bottle also displayed to show a typical Qur'anic school.
From Darul Islam to the next gallery, there is an open space where activities for fun are performed. Durbar gallery is where pictures of Sallah durbar are shown. The pictures of the emir with different title holders on horsebacks are exhibited. Durbar, as it is called, is a four-day colourful event of spectacular parade of dancers and musical performers etc and display of horsemanship to mark the end of Ramadan fasting celebration (for eid-el-fitr) and the eid-el-kabir.
The last gallery in the Gidan Makama Museum is the bride's room. This gallery is about traditional Hausa bride's room. Exhibits in the room are tasa, a kind of bronze dish; taskira, a bowl made of palm leaves used for keeping cotton spinning items; tukurwa bed, made from palm trunk; calabashes, grinding stones and water containers, among others.
Activities at the Museum
Apart from the historical materials that are exhibited for people in the museum, different activities ranging from educational to economic are conducted. The museum is normally open from 9am to 5pm every day and typical of all museums, there are guides that conduct visitors round Gidan Makama Museum, explaining every bit of the exhibits to them.
The technical officer explained that educational activities such as quiz and debates are organized for secondary school students there. At the end of the event, prizes are given to the winners by the museum. In addition to that, there are organised visits for school children. This programme is provided to allow school children and their teachers to go on an excursion of the museum.
Another educational programme organised by the museum, according to Yerima, is the Saturday Art Club. The programme is organised for children to help develop their creativity. At the end of it, their art works are exhibited for people to see.
Yerima further noted that skills acquisition programmes are organised for youths free of charge. "Under this scheme, we do teach them tailoring, knitting, beads making and cookery. At the end of the training we give them certificates. Trainees are drawn from secondary school leavers across the state," he said.
Their activities do not stop at the museum as disclosed by the education officer. They have outreach activities where they go to schools and other places to enlighten the populace about the importance of museums. "We use to go out to schools, markets, prisons and orphanages from time to time to enlighten them on the importance of visiting the museum," said Yerima.
He added that the outreach activities are yielding fruits as more people are coming to visit the museum.
The museum is visited by many people for varied reasons. While some go there to see the exhibits in the house, others go for cultural activities that are being organised. Children and women constitute the majority of this group. Though the house is open for the whole week, higher number of people visiting is recorded during Sallah festival.
Dearth of cultural materials
Some of the people interviewed expressed their dismay over what they see as the dearth of cultural materials in the museum. Malam Muhammad Isa, a visitor to the museum, said the house is below standard as so many aspects of the Hausa cultural heritage are lacking. "I'm disappointed with what I saw in the museum. So many things about the Hausa culture are missing. If you take the bride's room, for example, there is no local box that is called adudu, no kitchen utensils such as the local tray made from straw called faifai and matankadi (sieve). There are no local spoons and many other items that were used by the ancient Hausa women in their homes," he said.
He further noted that ancient Hausa costumes are also not shown, saying that only the royal regalia are being showcased. According to him, the museum should be handed over to Kano State Government to take care of it by stocking it with things related to the Hausa society of ancient time. "The museum being located in Kano should be allowed to remain under the state government," he said. "It is the state government that knows the importance of the museum as it is dealing with the culture of the Hausa people. I cannot see the rationale behind making it a national monument under the Federal Government".
Hidden items in the house
Sunday Trust learnt that there are other historical items of the old Kano society that are not showcased but stored. Such items include things to do with the pagan era of the Kano city. Explaining the reasons behind that, Yerima said it was put in store to avoid misconception by ignorant people. He said that with the increased awareness and knowledge, the house is thinking of changing its former position and make public those historical materials.
Another thing noticed about the house is the sign of dilapidation everywhere. The walls look worn out with cracks. Some of the galleries have collapsed and the library in the museum shows signs of decay. The glasses showcasing exhibits are also outdated. There is virtually no sign of standardization. The offices are poorly furnished and highly congested with staff.
The challenges
The education officer has listed some problems the museum is facing, with the main one being lack of adequate funding. He noted that the house is grossly underfunded, a situation that is making it difficult for them to move forward. "As you are aware, there is no organization that will not have its peculiar problem that is militating against its progress," he said. "Here in this museum, and indeed in all the museums in Nigeria, our major problem is lack of funds. We don't normally get enough funds to undertake renovation works in this house".
He said both the structure and the galleries where exhibits are displayed need total renovation but due to the funding problem, they have not been able to do it. He added that ideally the structure is supposed to be renovated every year but it is now four years that it has not been renovated. He said some of the galleries were leaking so seriously during the last raining season that they feared the building could collapse.
Apart from dilapidation, the house has inadequate offices for the staff. He noted that "because the house was not made to serve as an office in the initial stage, there is not enough space to create more offices. The few ones we have are badly furnished. The same thing with the library. Before we used to have so many things in the library such as computers, TV satelite set video cameras and books, but now all these things are lacking".
He maintained that the revenue they were generating from the gate fee is too small. "What we are generating here is not much because people are yet to understand the importance of the place. We charge N50 as the gate fee for adults and N30 for children, while for our foreign visitors we charge them N200."
He said with the security problems now, the foreign visitors have stopped coming. "In previous years, we used to get up to 200 foreign visitors, most especially during Sallah but this year's Sallah, not a single visitor was seen."
According to him, Kano State Government is not assisting as is being done in some states, citing the example of Katsina State where the governor assisted in remodelling the museum to make it look like a world class museum.
Philanthropists too have not extended their assistance to the place, despite the advertisement the museum is making soliciting support from all and sundry.
The officers said if they can get support from both state government and the public, they have planned to raise the standard of the museum to that of a world class museum.

DESTIN — Construction is ahead of schedule on the expansion at Destin Commons that will bring 100,000 square feet of new retail, restaurant and entertainment space.
The addition is expected to bring about 25 new businesses to the popular shopping center.
Junior anchors H&M and Uncle Buck's already have been announced they will open. Other companies signed on include Sunglass World, Tervis Tumblers, Chipotle Mexican Grill and a locally owned frozen yogurt store called YogoMogo.
"We are 75 percent committed (for the expansion)," said Bob Perry, general manager of Destin Commons. "We are about 63 percent leased at this point and we expect to be close to or at 100 percent when we open. We've got negotiations ongoing for every space in the expansion.
"Our leasing department is doing a great, great job," he added.
Construction started in September 2012 to place underground utilities for the new stores. The buildings began going up in August and the work is about three weeks ahead of schedule, Perry said.
"I'm looking forward to the expansion," said Ryan Cox, general manager of Bass Pro Shops at Destin Commons. "It's going to be a great concept for the area. It's just going to complement the family atmosphere of the center."
Cox also will serve as the general manager of Uncle Buck's, which is Bass Pro's restaurant concept.
Construction on the four main buildings was designed to be staggered somewhat, but the project is expected to be ready for a grand opening in early July.

Hundreds of assassination researchers and other interested parties assembled in Dallas this past November, for the first of what is expected to be an annual conference sponsored by JFK-Lancer, publishers of the quarterly journal The Assassination Chronicles.
The conference was designed, of course, to coincide with the thirty-third anniversary of the JFK assassination. It was held in the Dallas Grand Hotel, some ten blocks from the assassination site in Dealey Plaza --- "Where an unrested spirit is still with us," said author and Chronicles editor George Michael Evica.
The conference, dubbed November in Dallas, was a wide-ranging event, with research presentations on topics such as medical evidence, the Zapruder film, forensic techniques, and new leads for further investigation.
A panel on the Jim Garrison investigation was scrubbed at the last minute when the scheduled speaker, former New Orleans District Attorney investigator Gary Raymond, failed to show up. Raymond was jailed last year for turning over the once-secret records from the Jim Garrison/Clay Shaw case to the Assassination Records Review Board. His boss, D.A. Harry Connick Sr., had ordered him to destroy these records. Lancer's Debra Conway cited an "unbelievably bizarre mixup" for Raymond's cancellation, adding, "I did speak with him and he sends his regards."
Another panel, featuring witnesses to the assassination, was severely curtailed due to several cancellations. Beverly Oliver, the presumed "Babushka Lady," and eyewitness Jean Hill, both cancelled due to illness --- in Oliver's case, the illness of her daughter. Marilyn Willis, Roy Vaughn, and Al Maddox were also unable to attend, for various reasons. Conway said later, "Our witnesses are getting old and in poor health and I think the continued reliving of their experiences is getting too painful and upsetting."
For me, the first day of the conference was marred by an incredible situation that had nothing to do with JFK-Lancer, yet still impacted on the conference. For whatever reason, the Dallas Grand Hotel was grossly overbooked for the night of Thursday, November 21; many would-be guests were forced to find other accomodations. Most were helped by the hotel; its staff performed admirably in dealing with a series of angry, frustrated people --- many of whom, myself included, had made reservations months earlier.
As a consequence of all this, I missed much of what was presented on the first day, including the official welcome and opening of the event, and the witnesses panel, which in any case was curtailed. One presumed witness who did make it was Ed Hoffman. I missed his presentation but did catch some interesting back-and-forth during a question and answer period that followed it.
Hoffman says he was along the Stemmons Freeway at the time of the assassination. Speaking through his American Sign Language interpreter Ron Friedrich, he said he saw several cars drive through the railroad yard behind the grassy knoll area.
These could, perhaps, be the same vehicles reported by Lee Bowers. But Bowers said he saw an Oldsmobile, a Ford, and a Chevrolet. Ed Hoffman said, "There was a Rambler, it was green --- I think it was green --- that for some reason drove in around this area." Here he indicated a point on a chart. This could perhaps be the suspected getaway vehicle seen by Sheriff's Deputy Roger Craig some ten minutes after the assassination, in which Lee Oswald or a lookalike escaped the scene.
Speaking for himself, Ron Friedrich referred to Hoffman's 1985 interview with author Jim Marrs, during which an uncertified signing interpreter was used. Friedrich said this person made a number of errors interpreting Hoffman's story, including a reference to a coat worn by one of the apparent gunmen seen by Hoffman.
"I have a videotape of that question being asked by Mr. Marrs," Friedrich said, "asking Mr. Hoffman, 'Was the man wearing an overcoat?' Unfortunately, in sign language, there's no distinction in the way the sign is made for a suit coat, or an overcoat, or a jacket. One sign covers all. Marrs asks, in English, 'Was the man wearing an overcoat? The interpreter signs, 'Was he wearing a coat?' Ed answers, 'Yes, a coat --- a nice s-u-i-t [spelling it].' The interpreter voices, 'Yes, he was wearing a nice overcoat.' Marrs, not knowing what had happened, put it to print. Interpreter error." There were other, similar errors in this interview, Friedrich said. As Hoffman repeated his story over the years, discrepancies inevitably arose, and Hoffman found himself accused of changing his story.
Next was a "Forensic Techniques" panel that included presentations by Margaret and Art Snyder, which I missed, and Craig Roberts. Mr. Roberts is a former Marine sniper and author of A Sniper Looks at Dealey Plaza and other books. He said he made a close study of the Zapruder film, "And I'll tell you what I saw --- as a sniper --- through the eyes of a sniper ... I saw a guy hit from the right front, with a frangible mercury bullet." Such a bullet, Roberts continued, will do its destructive work, and essentially disintigrate.
Sherry Gutierrez, a court-certified crime scene analyst and expert in blood stain pattern analysis, also spoke. Based on her own experiments and analysis of the Zapruder film, Gutierrez concluded that "the head injury [sic] to President Kennedy was the result of a single gunshot fired from the right front of the President."
Thursday evening concluded with a panel called "Representing the JFK Research Journals," which consisted of George Michael Evica of the Chronicles, Dr. Jerry Rose of The Fourth Decade, and Ian Griggs of the Dealey Plaza Echo.
Professor Evica read a portion of his work-in-progress, The Iron Sights, called "Why the Mannlicher-Carcano was Found in the Book Depository." (In the conference program, this title read "Why Was the Mannlicher Carcano Found...")
Dr. Rose presented a list of twenty "unresolved issues of fact" relating to the JFK case. "A satisfactory explanation of any one of them would be a major research contribution," Dr. Rose said. Here is a sampling of his unresolved issues:
The first panel on Friday morning was called "Explorations in the Medical Evidence." It began with presentations by Dr. David Mantik and Joseph Riley, Ph.D. Dr. Riley's presentation was based on his article "What Struck John," which appeared in Issue #5 of Fair Play.
David Lifton, author of Best Evidence and a forthcoming biography of Lee Oswald, rounded out this panel. He related the story of one Leonard Saslow, a research chemist at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology at the time of the assassination. Saslow has only recently come forward with his story; Lifton believes it sheds important new light on one aspect of the case.
According to Lifton, Saslow saw Dr. Pierre Finck, one of the JFK autopsists, in the AFIP cafeteria not long after the autopsy. Dr. Finck was seated at a nearby table with several other officers, having lunch, when he spoke loudly of the autopsy assignment at Bethesda Naval Hospital. Lifton quoted Saslow as saying Finck stated that he had made "copious" notes about the autopsy, but that these notes mysteriously vanished the very same night. He was forced to reconstruct his notes from memory, which he did immediately; it was these that went into the official record. Lifton likened this incident to the burning of autopsy notes by Commander James J. Humes, another of the autopsy doctors.
Mr. Lifton concluded his talk with a call for an extension of the Assassination Records Review Board --- a call that was repeated by him and others throughout the conference weekend.
Around 11a.m., conference proceedings came to a halt, and everyone began making their way down to Dealey Plaza for the 33rd anniversary observance of the assassination. There were hundreds of people on hand for this observance, which led COPA's John Judge to remark, "It's heartening to see that the numbers continue to grow and that they haven't killed the memory of John F. Kennedy as well as the physical body. They've certainly done what they can to kill the reputation of Kennedy, and continue to do that, in a sort of second assassination."
Judge was one of many speakers to address those assembled along the grassy knoll area. Others included George Michael Evica, David Lifton, Charles Drago, Ian Griggs, and Russell McLean.
A symposium on the Zapruder film was held on Friday afternoon. In what is sure to continue an ongoing debate, convincing (though not conclusive) evidence that this film was tampered with was presented by Dr. Mantik, David Lifton, Jack White, Chuck Marler, Noel Twyman, and James Fetzer, Ph.D.
On Friday night I attended a meeting of the Coalition on Political Assassinations held at the Dallas County Courthouse adjacent to Dealey Plaza. The highlight of this evening was a "Two Oswalds" presentation by John Armstrong. It seems most unfortunate that COPA and Lancer were unable to hold a joint conference of some kind. For whatever reason, there seems to be a rift between the two groups. Neither organization has commented for the record about this situation.
Saturday began with an excellent panel called "New Leads in Files and Documents." It featured presentations by Joseph Backes on the ARRB, Nancy Wertz on Ruth and Michael Paine, Anna Marie Kuhns-Walko on Roger Craig and other subjects, and Martin Shackelford with an overview of releases.
The main attraction for the day, however, was the Gerry Patrick Hemming Panel. I looked forward to this panel with great anticipation, but felt a little let down by it; in my opinion nothing much of substance was said --- nothing that wasn't already known, anyway. Lancer's Debra Conway observed later, "Getting a straight answer from him was like nailing jello to the wall."
The conference concluded that evening with the presentation of awards to researchers past and present. Closing remarks were delivered by legendary archivist Mary Ferrell, for whom one of Lancer's top awards is named.
"For all of our differences," she said to this gathering of the research community, "we remain united in our conviction that there was a conspiracy to murder the President of these United States, and another conspiracy to hide that fact from the American people. This conviction will keep us marching toward our goal --- a goal which can be summed up as an unshakeable will to focus the government's attention on the outrage we suffer regarding the still-secret data relating to the murder of President Kennedy."

Harold Pinter's short play The Dumb Waiter premiered in London in 1960. It was the playwright's fourth play and in many ways encapsulates his early absurdist style. The play is set in a claustrophobically small basement room in the midlands, with two beds, a serving hatch centre stage, and little other furniture. Two men, Ben and Gus, who we quickly establish are hit-men, are waiting in the room for instructions about their next assignment. They fill their time with mundane activities – reading the newspaper, smoking cigarettes and chatting about seemingly trivial matters. Although they appear to be alone in the building, their space is periodically and inexplicably invaded, by an envelope appearing under the …

Paula Fredriksen, renowned historian and author of From Christ to Jesus, begins this inquiry into the historic Jesus with a fact that may be the only undisputed thing we know about him: his crucifixion.Rome reserved this means of execution particularly for political insurrectionists; and the Roman charge posted at the head of the cross indicted Jesus for claiming to be King of the Jews. To reconstruct the Jesus who provoked this punishment, Fredriksen takes us into the religious worlds, Jewish and pagan, of Mediterranean antiquity, through the labyrinth of Galilean and Judean politics, and on into the ancient narratives of Paul's letters, the gospels, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Josephus' histories. The result is a profound contribution both to our understanding of the social and religious contexts within which Jesus of Nazareth moved, and to our appreciation of the mission and message that ended in the proclamation of Jesus as Messiah.
"Tightly reasoned, learned and readable…. Engagingly written."–National Review"Fredriksen boldly and compellingly tackles a fundamental question about Jesus: Why did he die?"–The Boston Globe
Paula Fredriksen is the Aurelio Professor of Scripture at Boston University.

Heather says:
I'm so sorry, Home Eccers, but this will be a pictureless recipe. I enjoy photographing food for this site, but it seems appetizing photos of beef just may be my white whale. Bear with me, please.
This recipe is designed to translate into a planned over meal of sliced beef with melted cheddar on hoagie rolls.
Beef Shoulder Roast Braised in Red Wine
- 1 beef shoulder roast
- 2 – 3 TBSP of olive oil
- 1/2 – 1 cup red wine
- kosher salt / black pepper
- 2 – 3 cloves of garlic – chopped
- 2 TBSP Worcestshire sauce
- 1 onion sliced into rings
Preheat the oven to 350F.
In a small sauce pan or skillet cook the onion slices over low heat while you prepare the roast.
Heat a heavy skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 – 3 TBSP of olive oil to thinly coat the pan.
While the oil is heating sprinkle your roast with kosher salt and black pepper. Don't go nuts with the salt, think of how a pretzel looks.
Place the meat in your heated pan and cook for two minutes on each side. If you are using the same pot in the oven simply add the wine, Worcestshire, and garlic to the pan now. Reduce the heat to low.
Once the onions are soft spread them over the roast.
If your roast is in a new pan, first transfer the roast then add the wine, Worcestshire, and garlic to the first pan. This will help ensure all the browned bits transfer with the meat. Bring to a simmer, then pour the liquid over and around the meat, but remember there should only be about a quarter of an inch in the bottom of the pan. The goal is to braise, not boil the meat.
Assuming your roast is between 1 and 1 1/2 inches thick (fairly common for this cut) it'll need to cook at 350 between 1 3/4 hours and 2 1/2 hours. Trust me, it's worth the wait.
Once the meat is fork tender place it on a platter and allow it to rest for at least ten minutes. Don't throw out those pan juices! While the roast is resting use a fat separator to skim off the grease and pour the liquid into a sauce pan. Simmer until the volume is reduced by half. This really concentrates the flavor.
If you do not have a separator, pour the liquid into a measuring cup and skim off as much fat as you can with a spoon before simmering.
To serve, slice the roast against the grain and drizzle with the reduced sauce.

Here is another one for you guys :
I use Micro-Mark CR-600 casting resin to cast small parts like seats in 1/24th scale for example. Many weeks after casting, the resin parts seems to be cured but are not completely cured. I realise that they are not completely cured when I paint them : the paint stays wet even after many days.
Should I use another brand of resin ? Or, is it because the resin bottle has been opened for a too long period ?
Thanks for any help
Resin that will not cure

I'd say that your last suggestion is probably the correct one. The curing process is a chemical reaction. If there is one chemical missing due to age then the reaction will not happen or the process was slowed to a crawl. You could try a little heat to aid the cure but fresh materials would prob. be best.

slipped capital femoral epiphysis occurs when the upper end of the thigh bone
(femur) slips at the area where the bone is growing (growth plate or physis)
and does not fit in the hip socket correctly. The condition is most common in
young teenagers. It's more common in boys than in girls.
Rapid growth and an imbalance of hormones during adolescence may cause a
slipped capital femoral epiphysis. An injury or a rapid increase in body weight
or height may trigger symptoms.
Symptoms usually begin
between 10 and 16 years of age. They may begin earlier in girls than in boys.
Symptoms vary in severity and speed of progression. Symptoms may
Your doctor will conduct a medical history to learn how long
you have had your symptoms and a physical exam to identify your symptoms.
X-rays and sometimes
CT scan or
MRI are used to confirm a diagnosis of slipped capital
femoral epiphysis.
The goal of treatment for a
slipped capital femoral epiphysis is to prevent further slippage, restore the
normal position of the bones, and reduce complications of the condition. This
often involves surgery to secure the growth plate (physis) with a single screw
or with pins. Osteotomy may be used in a severe case, but this is rare. In an
osteotomy, the doctor cuts the bone at the top of the leg near the hip joint,
moves the bone to a more normal position, then uses metal pins to hold it in
place. The pins are usually left in the bone after it heals.
Crutches may be used to take weight off the hip. Before surgery, this
prevents further slippage and helps decrease pain. After surgery, using crutches decreases
pain and helps keep the hip stable and in good position as it heals.
A slipped capital femoral epiphysis may lead to early degenerative
arthritis of the hip if it is not detected early and treated properly.
A slipped capital femoral epiphysis is the most common serious hip
condition seen in teenagers. It is more common in boys than in girls and more common
in very overweight teenagers. The condition most commonly affects young
adolescents, ages 10 to 16 years old.

Academic Year (Also referred to as Aid Year)
A period of time schools use to measure a quantity of study. East Central's academic year begins with the Fall semester (August) and ends with Summer semester (June).
Cost of Attendance (COA)
Each institution determines it's own cost of attendance or budget. The cost of attendance includes both direct educational costs (such as tuition, fees, books and supplies) as well as living costs (room and board, transportation and personal expenses). The Cost of Attendance can vary from student to student. At East Central College students are assigned a budget group based on dependency status and residency.
A block of time during which you can postpone repayment of a Federal Direct Student Loan.
Dependency Status
Students are classified as
because federal student aid programs are based on the idea that students (and their parents or spouse) have the primary responsibility for their postsecondary education. Dependency status is determined by the following criteria:
24 years of age or older as of December 31 of the current year
Legal dependents other than a spouse
Veteran of the U. S. Armed Forces
Orphan/Ward of the Court/Emancipated Minor/Homeless (see FAFSA for Details).
Independent Student
Meets at least one of the categories listed above. Independent students
are not
required to provide parental income information.
Dependent Students
Does not meet one of the categories listed above.
Dependent students are required to provide parental income regardless of whether or not the student lives with the parents or if parents are assisting in paying for the student's education.
Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
The process used to determine a student's eligibility for financial aid is called need analysis. In this analysis, income and asset information from both the student and parent(s) is examined to determine the family's ability to contribute toward the cost of education.
Federal Work-Study
Financial aid that enables students to earn a portion of school costs through employment.
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
This application is the starting point for virtually all federal and state aid programs. This application determines eligibility for federal grants, state financial aid programs, student loans and college work-study.
Grants are awarded to help undergraduate students pay for their education. Grants are based on demonstrated financial need as determined by the need analysis process.
do not
need to be repaid. (Review the Federal Resources section for detailed information about grants available to East Central College students.)
Low interest loans are available to students to assist with meeting educational expenses. Loans
have to be repaid. (Review the Loans section for detailed information about loans available to East Central College students.)
Return of Title IV Funds
Students who have been paid federal financial aid funds are required to earn these funds by attending classes through at least 60% of the enrollment period. Students who do not earn the federal aid as described may be required to repay a portion of the funds.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
To be eligible to receive federal student aid, you must maintain satisfactory academic progress toward a degree or certificate.
Student Aid Report (SAR)
Once the
has been submitted the data will be processed and the student will receive a Student Aid Report. The SAR will report your Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
A grant for undergraduate students with the lowest EFC.
A process by which Federal Student Aid applications are selected for review. Students are required to submit federal tax transcripts, W2's and other materials used to complete the
for the purpose of comparison and to assure accuracy. Approximately 80% of all applicants are selected by the Department of Education for this process.

I decided to take a stab at using Query Manager, rather than
Query/400, for some reports so that I could use variables for some of
the SELECT criteria. All of that is going pretty smoothly, but the
report form always wants to format for 80 character width when I use
the 'Run' option in the "Work with Query Manager Queries" thus
splitting a wide (>80) report into two report files. In Query/400
one can specify the report width and, when printing to a non-impact
printer, the report gets rotated.
I have looked everywhere for a similar option or effect in both the
query and form definitions, but zilch. I have even (horrors!) been
reading the manual (Query Manager Use). If the solution to getting a
wide report on a single page is there, I have totally missed it.

Technology + Education + Passion = Wow. I believe that the classroom should reflect the world for which we are preparing our students. If we are asking them to create, innovate and be outstanding as graduates entering a terrifying job market, then our classrooms should be creative, innovative and outstanding places to learn. Everyday. Period.
As an Apple Distinguished Educator, Google Certified Teacher and Chicago Public School's 2012 Tech Innovator of the Year, I have been exploring ways to redefine education through effective technology use. In 2010, I began implementing a 1:1 iPad technology grant. I did my best to leverage these devices to improve assessment practices and increase differentiation. In 2011, I oversaw an expansion of this grant to 9 other classrooms in our building. Now I continue to explore how to use iPads, Chromebooks and other 1:1 devices to increase student metacognition skills, problem solving and creativity.
I am also passionate about transforming professional learning. In 2012, I co-created PLAYDATE, a new conference concept encouraging hands-on teacher exploration. As a Golden Apple Teacher of Distinction, I also helped to co-found the GA Teachers for Tomorrow annual conferences. More recently, I was honored to be named a White House Champion of Change as a Connected Educator.
Aside from my students, my great loves in life are sci fi, mashed potatoes, Tabasco sauce, my dog and my husband.

text: WICHITA - Sedgwick County Commissioners held public hearings on the county budget Wednesday, but it was the budget for the County Fire District that generated some controversy. The 2015 budget for Fire District # 1 does not increase property taxes in the fire district, but there's a 1.13% decrease in expenditures. Six firefighter positions are being held vacant to help make ends meet. Dave Thompson with local 2612 of the firefighters objected. "It's too deep, it's unsafe. We have families, we have citizens to protect," Said Thompson. County Manager Bill Buchanan told KNSS news after the meeting he didn't think Thompson understood the budget and that it's a tough budget. "It's terribly difficult. It's a choice between levels of services and taxes. And once your revenues aren't increased, your services have to be reduced." Another hearing on the budget will be held August 11.

The more I read of Giovanni Vignale's "The power of the abstract", the more I smiled and the more at ease I felt with the world (26 February, p 32). He presented the truest spirit of the scientist - the student, the creator, the master, the supplicant, the truth-sayer, the poet, the fool.
All of these qualities - and more - are what has made science so effective as a tool of social change. Yet, sadly, many of our "high profile" scientists are stunted in this respect.
This article is the perfect foil to all the rubbish about "the conflict" between science and religion, science and art, and (this dates me) arguments over the primacy of science and engineering/technology. Humanity's strength lies in the ability to hold many disparate viewpoints simultaneously; its fundamental weakness in the inability to hold more than one viewpoint at a time.
If more scientists ...

Health Care Bill Restores Abstinence Ed. Funding
The health care bill signed into law restores $50 million in funding for five years for abstinence-only programs. As we wrote earlier, the federal budget signed by President Obama does not include funds directed towards them.
CNN reports today that Guttmacher Institute isn't happy about the newly directed funds. However, a federally funded study released in February suggested that programs that encourage teenagers to delay having sex have been effective. Rob Stein of the Washington Postoffers some background:
A University of Pennsylvania researcher reported last month that a carefully designed, morally neutral abstinence-focused approach can work. But the program does not earmark funding for programs focused on maintaining virginity.
During the health legislation debate in the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) added $50 million in annual funding for five years to states for abstinence programs – a provision that survived the tumultuous process that ensued.

10 million girls speak out on International Women's Day 2013
8 March 2013
As the sun sets over the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) World Bureau in London on 7 March, women and girls in Japan and New Zealand will begin to rise from their sleep to a day of global action for women and girls worldwide.
Friday 8 March is International Women's Day (IWD) – a special annual celebration held since the 1900s and highlighted all over the world to mark the social, economic and political achievements of women. In 2013 the theme for IWD is 'A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women.'
There have been great leaps forward for women worldwide in education, the world of work, justice and political representation, but there is still more to be done. IWD gives us a chance and time to reflect on that – our continuing struggle for equality, justice, peace and development. It's a global day of action for women and girls, whether you live in Namibia, United Kingdom of India.
Our day to take action
This video features acclaimed singers and musicians who have come together to spread a message of unity and solidarity: We are "One Woman". It was written for UN Women, the global champion for women and girls worldwide, to celebrate its mission and work to improve women's lives around the world.
Here at WAGGGS we believe that girls and young women are agents of change, so we will be joining the millions of girls and women across the globe celebrating and taking action for IWD 2013. That's why we are charity of choice for the global hub for International Women's Day.
WAGGGS is the largest voluntary movement dedicated to girls and young women in the world. We support 10 million girls in 145 countries to develop their full potential as responsible citizens. We create opportunities for girls to have meaningful participation in their worlds.
From 10am GMT on IWD 2013 hundreds of girls and young women across the world will come together to share their experiences at WAGGGS' first direct participation online event – the 24-hour chat. Crossing eight time zones, girls and young women across the world will go online to talk education, jobs, leadership, preventing violence against girls and young women – and girls' and young women's participation in the development of the post-2015 agenda.
Eight talented young women will host the discussions, from their bases in India, Madagascar, the UK, Costa Rica, Canada and Philippines. Log on to the 24-hour chat [link] to learn about the issues, have your say and shape the International Day of the Girl (IDG) Call to Action. See you there. It's a chance to identify the issues that matter to you – and work to find solutions to create a better world.
Influencing change at the UN
Meanwhile, over in New York City at the United Nations (UN) Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), a delegation of 14 young women joined discussions on eliminating and preventing violence against women and girls. The delegation secured support for the Stop the Violence campaign, met former President of Chile Michelle Bachelet and took part in workshops to enhance their role in decision-making processes.
IWD won't be the end of action on girls' and women's rights from WAGGGS. In 217 days, WAGGGS will be reflecting on a year of action as it marks the second International Day of the Girl (IDG) on 11 October 2013. Last year, the movement celebrated the Day by inviting people from across the world to create 'The world we want for girls' – an online collage of the visions of an ideal world for girls and young women, shared by people from over 50 countries. Check out the drawings, text, films and photographs.
Why not join with WAGGGS to help us create one million actions before IDG 2013.
Happy International Women's Day!

That's great! I am more than happy to know that girls are more confident than ever. They are speaking out. Yes, they are the agents of change. The need of the hour is just to give them the respect and opportunities they deserve. WAGGGS is doing commendable job. Keep it up! I hope on the next Woman's day our stat would show more positive results. Samreen M Bolee.com
Prisca - 11 March 2013 - 1.26PM (GMT)
To end violence, we outta identify the different forms; speak out and denounce; sensitize girls and women on their rights. But yet, we must not push aside boys and men. They shall also know the facts and join the movement. And it shall start down from the root "education" at home, in school, in different clubs and associative lives.
Rachel - 8 March 2013 - 6.48PM (GMT)
I'm over here a the UNCSW too, with another organisation. The WAGGS are doing a fantastic job with a really strong and visible presence, speaking out at events and lobbying government representatives. So encouraging to see this generation taking action.

Quite a number of "SMS competitions" have come close to crossing the line before, but the latest from Astro has definitely gone into the "no-no land" of gambling.
It works like this: Astro puts an item up for "bidding", in this case, an item from Sony in "celebration" of its 10th Anniversary. Through a minimum of 2 SMS, each costing RM1, contestants answer 1 question correctly, then enter their bid. The idea is to bid a low figure for the item, if your bid happens to be the lowest, unique bid, then you win the item, presumably for free (not at the price you bid).
Seems like a RM2 one-armed bandit to me, absolutely no different from its more famous cousins in the casinos. Now, when did Astro get a license to open a gambling parlour?

Your editorial comment regarding the usefulness of producing genetically modified cattle resistant to trypanosomiasis asks a serious question about the knock-on effects of genetic engineering (26 May, p 3). While cattle farmers might approve of the new strains of livestock, I am 100 per cent certain that many of the dedicated researchers and guardians in Africa's protected areas will be less than pleased.

Sorry, I digress.
Never mind the fact that we have our very own Buckle store in the Oglethorpe Mall - that is beside the point. That day in Wisconsin - in that Buckle store - history was made.
I tried on at least 20 pairs of jeans (using my sharp & fast method because I am not a fan of trying on clothes ever) and knew I'd discovered pure, sweet unadulterated gold when I found Big Star brand Casey K. Low Rise Fit.
Perfect in every way - they hugged my hips and thighs, flared out just the tiniest bit at the calf and bottom. The shade of indigo was righteous and downright religious! I know you understand.
If you have spent any portion of your life being thin, skinny or in need of a meal - you may not be able to relate, but for an hour-glass girl like me - constantly fighting the dreaded "apple" from taking over my top half, you can appreciate this next statement...
These jeans "sat" perfectly on my waist.
That sweet spot - mid-rise up the bottom of my abdomen (where nothing "muffin'd" above, nor "pooched" below when buttoned) sealed the delicious deal.
After carrying two nearly 10 lb. boys ending in c-sections - and who am I kidding - there's that issue with living below the Mason-Dixon line that has left my middle wanting for a month with my jaw wired, hand-cuffed to Jillian Michaels.
Back on point - Big Star's Casey K. Low Rise Fit jeans "give" when you sit down, right themselves when you stand up - there is zero stretching. They never, ever leave me with a saggy bottom - they never let me down. These jeans have butt-cutening ability at the highest level.
I am 37 years old - miracles CAN happen in the dressing rooms after 35!
Recently, when a friend asked about my jeans, I felt compelled to add another pair to my collection. I was shocked and saddened to find out that Casey K's were no longer available in Big Star's collection! After a bit of research, I learned that the Remy Collection is the replacement. http://www.bigstarusa.com/womens/fit/bootcut-denim-1/remy-bootcut-jeans/remy.html
Do yourself a favor this fall and invest in this life changer.
Helping hour-glass girls everywhere! No thanks necessary.

Hong Kong's renowned opera director Professor Lo King-man will bring us his latest production Donizetti's "La Fille du Regiment" (The Daughter of the Regiment) in January. The opera will offer musical enjoyment and a fun-filled plot.
The first and most successful French opera by Gaetano Donizetti, created for the Opéra Comique of Paris, "La Fille du Regiment" is entering its 170th year of undiminished popularity.
The story is about abandoned baby Marie who is brought up by the soldiers of the French Army's 21st Regiment. They adopt her as their "daughter". A young forester, Tonio, saves Marie from falling off a precipice. Hoping to marry Marie, Tonio learns that her future husband must be a member of the regiment, which causes him promptly to enlist. The Marchioness of Berkenfield who claims to be Marie's aunt insists that Marie marry a duke she does not know. During the reception to announce Marie's engagement to the duke, the Marchioness has a change of heart and confesses to the startled company that Marie is in fact her own illegitimate daughter. The guests are further scandalised to learn that Marie is the regiment's canteen girl. The Marchioness finally consents to Marie's marriage to Tonio. Amid general rejoicing, the opera ends with a patriotic chorus, "Salut a la France".
Director Lo King-man has devised an ingenious scenic narrative (in the overture) which informs the audience how the baby Marie is abandoned near the army camp; how she is brought up by an entire regiment sharing the responsibility as her fathers; and how they elect her to be their vivandière, overseer of supplies, cook and canteen girl. It is created solely for this production and entirely made in Hong Kong.
In addition, the scene in Act II, in which Marie is trained to be an elegant lady, is one of the highlights. Renowned local pianist Nancy Loo's performance as the crazy music teacher will embody the opera's comic nature.
"La Fille du Regiment" presents a great challenge to the singers. The aria "Pour mon ame" requires the leading tenor to hit nine successive high-Cs. Pavarotti was crowned the "King of High-Cs" by showing his exquisite artistry in this aria. In the leading role of Marie, the coloratura soprano has to sing many more sustained high notes above the high-C . Some florid passages and cadenzas reach as high as the top E. The cast of the Hong Kong performance is superb with Christina Haldane and Lam Wing-wing as Marie; John Zukerman, Chen Yong and Alex Tam as Tonio; as well as guest artist Nancy Loo as Marie's teacher. Conductor Lio Kuok-man will lead the Hong Kong Virtuosi and Opera Society of Hong Kong.
The two-act comic opera, Donizetti's "La Fille du Régiment" (sung in French with Chinese and English surtitles), will be staged at 8pm on January 29-31, 2010 (Friday to Sunday); and at 3pm on January 30, 2010 (Saturday) at the Concert Hall, Hong Kong City Hall. Tickets priced at $600, $450, $300 and $150 are now available at all URBTIX outlets. Half-price concessions will be granted to senior citizens aged 60 or above, people with disabilities, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance recipients. (Limited tickets for Comprehensive Social Security Assistance recipients are available on a first-come, first-served basis.) Please refer to programme leaflets for details of the group booking discount.

Household Pesticide Labels Lack Details on Safe Use
In CategoryProducts, Health Dangers, Etc
Household cleaners are toxic, carcinogenic and dangerous substances. You should be using all natural brands.
~ Uncle Russ
ScienceDaily (Apr. 14, 2010) — Label directions for using some household pesticides are written in a way that may leave consumers with the impression that "if a little is good, more is better," according to a study presented March 22 at the 239th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). As a result, consumers may use excessive amounts of pesticides that could subject family members and pets to increased exposures.

I know what a Retina Display is even though it is a gimmick market term. I think rather than "Retina support" as a key feature, you should highlight it instead as "Optimized for the iPhone 4". Makes you look alot more inteligent; "Retina support" looks like you bought in to Apple's marketing terms.
@hondaa: Retina display is the name given to the screen of the iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G. These screens have a resolution of 960x480 with a pixel density 2x bigger than the screens of previous iPhones (326 ppi X 163 ppi). Retina support means that the game is optimized for this screen and will take full advantage of the Retina display when played on a device that supports it. The game will also run on older devices that doenot support Retina display . I don't have any plans for Android at the moment, but I think that it would be really nice to have an Android version. If the game sells well, it could happen. Thanks for your comment.
And I believe Android is a better market as of right now than iOS. On alot more devices than iOS is on.
Good look with your app
