Electronic identity card
The Electronic Identity Card ("eID" or "EIC") is an identity card for online and offline identification towards authorities.
Countries currently issuing government-issued EICs include Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Mexico, Morocco, Pakistan,[1][2] Portugal, Romania, Estonia, Latvia,[3] Spain, Slovakia.,[4] Malta, and Mauritius. Countries currently accepting bank-issued EICs for identification towards authorities (also known as Bankid) include Norway and Sweden.
Apart from online authentication many EICs also give users the option to sign electronic documents with a digital signature. The EIC has the format of a regular bankcard, with printed identity information on the surface (such as personal details and a photograph) as well as an embedded microchip.

After introducing the Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) in 2000 (over 89.5 million CNICs issued until 2012[5]), Pakistan's National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) introduced the Smart National Identity Card (SNIC) in October 2012. Pakistan's SNIC contains a data chip and 36 security features. The SNIC complies with ICAO standard 9303 and ISO standard 7816-4. The SNIC can be used for both offline and online identification, voting, pension disbursement, social and financial inclusion programmes and other services.[6][7] NADRA aims to replace all 89.5 million CNICs with SNICs by 2020.
Chip contents[edit]
The eID card contains a chip containing:[8]
- the same information as legible on the card
- the address of the card holder
- the identity - and signature keys and certificates
Using the eID[edit]
At home, the user can use his eID to log in to specific websites (such as Tax-on-web, allowing them to fill in their tax form online).[9] To do this the user needs
- an eID card
- a smartcard reader
- the eID middleware software
When other software (such as an Internet Browser) attempts to read the eID, the user is asked for confirmation for this action, and potentially even for their PIN.[10]
Other applications include signing emails with the user's eID certificate private key. Giving the public key to your recipient allows them to verify your identity.
Kids ID[edit]
Although legally Belgian citizens only have to carry an ID from the age of 12, as of March 2009,[11] a "Kids ID" has been introduced for children below this age, on a strictly voluntary basis. This ID, among containing the usual things, also holds a contact number that people, or the child itself, can call when they for example are in danger or had an accident. The card can be used for electronic identification after the age of six, and it does not contain a signing certificate as minors cannot sign a legally binding document. An important goal of the Kids-ID card is to allow children to join "youth-only" chatsites, using their eID to gain entrance. These sites would essentially block any users above a certain age from gaining access to the chat sessions, effectively blocking out potential pedophiles.
Bulgaria has an electronic ID called ЕИК (Eлектронна карта за идентичност) issued from 2013.
Croatia started issuing electronic ID (e-osobna iskaznica) on June 8th, 2015.
The Estonian ID card is used, among other uses, for authentication in Estonia's ambitious Internet-based voting programme.
In February 2007, Estonia was the first country in the world to institute electronic voting for parliamentary elections. Over 30 000 voters participated in the country's e-election.[12]
The software used in this process is available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
At end of 2014 Estonia implemented Estonian ID Card to non-residents. The target of the project is reaching 10 million e-residents by 2025, which is 8 times more than the Estonian population of 1.3 million.[13]
The German Identity Card is also an electronic identity card since 2010.
Guatemala DPI (Documento Personal de Identificación) replaces old ID document (Cédula de Vecindad). DPI at Wikipedia in Spanish
The Italian electronic identity card (Carta d'Identità Elettronica in Italian, in Italy identified with the acronym CIE), is a personal identification document that is replacing the paper-based ID card in Italy. The first Italian electronic ID cards (EIC) were issued in 2001. As of 1 January 2006 the Italian government requires that paper based ID cards are replaced by EICs. By the end of 2009 1.8 million Italian citizens had obtained EICs.
According to provisions of the Italian constitution only the Italian municipalities can supply identity cards to citizens. Therefore the EIC issuing system is distributed among the municipalities allowing each of them to give the EICs directly to their citizens. The Ministry of Internal Affairs supplies the required network infrastructure, software updates and security architecture. As a consequence the required issuing system is more complex than centralized ones used by other countries or for other electronic cards. Recently many municipalities joined the EIC system and currently about 180 municipalities are equipped to issue EICs. The system allows smaller municipalities to collaborate with nearby larger ones in order to reduce printing cost. The potential user base is estimated at about 50 million.
The Italian EIC is intended for both online and offline identification. Therefore, apart from the printed information, data for identification are stored on a microchip as well as a laser band. Specifically, the microchip contains a digital certificate for online authentication and (optionally) a certificate for digital signatures. The Italian EIC is explicitly designed to give access to e-government services and will become the standard for access to online services offered to Italian citizens by public authorities. The technical specifications for the Italian identity card have been developed by the Italian Ministry of Internal Affairs in collaboration with the University of Rome, Tor Vergata. The most recent legal document regarding Italian EIC standards and requirements is the Decreto Ministeriale n. 229 del 8-11-2007.
Mexico has an official electronic biometric ID card for all kids under the age of 18 called the Personal Identity Card (Record of Minors), which includes: The data verified on the Birth Certificate; including the names of the parents; a Unique Key of Population Registry (CURP); a biometric Facial Recognition Photograph; a Scan of all 10 Fingerprints; and an Iris Scan Registration, image encoded.

The Netherlands has an electronic ID called DigiD and is currently developing an eID Scheme.
Since July 2013 Israel has an electronic id, the electronic id is not yet compulsory, it is issued free of charge to promote it, and is only valid for 10 years.[citation needed]
Since 2006 Spain has an electronic ID called DNIe.
The Norwegian BankID is an electronic identity service issued by banks and makes it possible to login to Norwegian authorities, universities and banks. The Norwegian mobile BankID is utilizing the mobile phone SIM card for authentication, and is financed by a fee to the mobile network operator.
The Swedish BankID is an electronic identity service issued by banks and makes secure web login possible to Swedish authorities, universities and banks. The BankID may be in the form of a certificate file on disk, on card or on smartphone. The latter (Swedish mobile BankID service) does not require a specific fee to the mobile network operator, and also makes it possible to login on a desktop computer web window.
Since 12 February 2014, Malta is in the process of renewing all ID cards to electronic ID cards.
Since 2013 Mauritius has an electronic ID.

The Vampire Diaries
Which Vampire Diaries Star Has Been Cast in a Pilot… And May Be Killed Off?
The CW's new pilot Cult is poaching one of The Vampire Diaries' current cast members, and now we fear for the character's safety. Deadline reports that Matt Davis has scored the lead in the new show — so what does that mean for the vamp slayer Alaric Saltzman?
Davis will play Jeff, a blogger whose brother disappears from the set of a TV show called Cult. (A show within a show with the same name. This won't get confusing.) Jeff and production assistant Skye (Jessica Lucas) investigate a murder and try to find the missing participants to determine if fans of the show are recreating its crimes.
Luckily, Deadline also reports that Matt will be available to guest on TVD, so don't get out your funeral garb just yet!

I'm considering getting a pulse as a cheap way to start developing for Android.
Does anyone know if the device might support multitouch if the OS was upgraded to Android 2?
Seems to be a lot of confusion about the screen tech on the Pulse.
Jump to content
if the G1 can do it im sure the pulse should be able to also. just a matter of "if" the pulse gets an android update any time soon.
It doesnt have anything to do with the Pulse needing an update. The g1 supported this on 1.5 (same version of android as the pulse has). However the code to support multi touch has to be implimented in pulse kernel. To do this we need the kernel source, which should be along in the next week or two.
You can follow me on Twitter - http://twitter.com/paulobrien / Follow MoDaCo on Twitter - http://twitter.com/modaco
Want to donate? MoDaCo is raising money for the Multiple Sclerosis society.
It's definitely capacitive. Therefore theoretically it can do multitouch.
Edited by dac_kufer, 18 December 2009 - 03:33 PM.
any news about multitouch???
Edited by AndAddict, 28 December 2009 - 11:45 PM.
I think the Pulse only uses synaptics_i2c_rmi_tm1319.c and cypress_cpt_i2c_ts.c
cypress_cpt_i2c_ts.c has an interesting feature, CONFIG_CYPRESS_TOUCHSCREEN_MULTIPOINT, but enabling it doesn't make any noticeable difference as far as I could tell.
Even if you successfully merge the cyanogen mod changes into synaptics_i2c_rmi_tm1319.c and it were to work, how would apps be able to use it? The 1.5 API doesn't have multitouch support. How did the HTC Hero do it? Did they use a hack?
Putting this on hold for a few weeks, till I get a little more experience with the android kernel
phonemypc app works with multitouch on the pulse
Does that mean that multitouch is already enabled in the kernel?

16415 Addison Road, Suite 200 Addison TX 75001 USA
National Relief Charities is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit committed to championing hope for a brighter future for Native Americans living on remote, isolated and impoverished reservations. NRC maintains relations with more than 1,000 reservation partners focused on leading positive change within their tribal communities. A BBB-accredited charity, our mission is: Serving immediate needs. Supporting long-term solutions. Our vision is: Strong, self-sufficient Native American communities.
NRC is known among our reservation partners as a solid, steady resource that provides the right goods – the requested goods – in the right time and right way for tribal communities. We achieve 96% customer satisfaction, providing aid to areas most organizations cannot reach. In addition to delivering essential goods and services, NRC is developing community leaders who can drive social change in their reservation communities. We are also challenging dependency and poverty by involving community members in the delivery of our services--simultaneously enhancing capacity while meeting diverse needs. Each year, 90-95% of our scholarship students complete the college year, and hundreds of thousands of Native Americans welcome relief from day-to-day symptoms of poverty. Our annual report, effectiveness report, partner and participant stories, and press coverage are published on our website at www.nrcprograms.org. Our Charting Impact report is available at http://www.guidestar.org/report/chartingimpact/575773695/national-relief-charities.pdf. Our BBB report is available at http://give.org/charity-reviews/national/human-services/national-relief-charities-in-sherman-tx-627.
Target demographics:
NRC provides consistent aid and services for Native Americans with the highest needs in the U.S.
Direct beneficiaries per year:
Collaborating with our reservation partners, we improve quality of life for 250,000 Native Americans each year—and yet there is more to do.
Geographic areas served:
NRC's scholarships are offered nationwide to tribally-enrolled Native Americans students. Our long-term solutions and our material goods and services for immediate relief span 60 reservations throughout the Southwest and Northern Plains regions of the U.S.
NRC cares about quality of life and supports the self-determined goals of the tribes. Our programs (AIEF, ROAR, CIN, AIRC, SNRF, NAA, SWIRC and NRF) span education, animal welfare and Northern Plains and Southwest reservation aid. Specifically, our material services focus on nutrition, health, K-12 education, emergency relief, animal welfare, and holiday needs being addressed by our reservation partners within their tribal communities. Our long-term solutions support higher education, community investment projects, and capacity-building for local leaders and reservation communities. NRC connects outside resources directly to the reservations through our distribution network and reservation partnerships.

Reviews for National Relief Charities
May 8, 2015
As a counselor, I search for organizations that will contribute to my self-help programs. So I can encourage the students to be productive, lifelong learners of their community. National Relied Charities provides incentives that meet the needs of the students in my programs.
National Relief Charities members are compassionate about helping students and adults are self sufficient. Our school has participated in the following programs: Healthy Living, Christmas Stockings, Easter Egg Hunt, and Community Events: (Week-end Back Pack Program), (One World Play Project-Soccer), and School Supplies.
Next Year I am going to apply for the Hug a Bear Program to help children cope with their grief. NRC reaches out to the community and helps make everyone feel special.
Thank-you for being my partner and supporting our self-help programs.

Baca/Dlo'ayazhi Community School in Prewitt, New Mexico
I am so thankful for the scholarship offered through the American Indian Education Foundation under National Relief Charities. The funding I received has helped me reach my goal of getting my bachelor's degree in business administration. Thank you.
We have worked with NRC as a transportation provider and they are a great partner to have. They are always willing to go the extra mile if problems arise to make sure our drivers will get loaded or unloaded in a timely manner. We know that we can rely on NRC for anything and vice-versa. Those relationships are only able to be built when you have good people working at your company. I would work with NRC all the time if it allowed itself.
The Shiprock Office of Dine' Youth has partnered with the National Relief Charities for several years in meeting the needs of the community, youth, and families. NRC works diligently in providing our program supplies to be disseminated to those in need. When working with the community at-large, you often come across individuals who are in need of support or who momentarily is in need. Most often, the recipient/participant is very appreciative of receiving supplies/items that contributes to their over-all being. Knowing that resources, such as NRC is available helps us in our continued efforts in working with our fellow people. Thank you, NRC.

Very Well
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
A lot
Will you recommend this organization to others?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Good day,I have worked with,supported,and helped NRC for the past 20 years.I first met them when they called and asked if I would be willing to haul fruit trees to Mountment,Az on my produce trucks for them.NRC planted over 200 trees to help beautify the area,and help the elderly people with shade.
since then, I have been part of their food and non-foods,systems.For the past 20 plus years,they have supplied food for every day needs,food boxes for the elderly,shut ins on the Navajo and Hopi Reservations,plus they have helped the Zuni Reservations,plus Arzona and California Tribes.
NRC has supplied ofer 200,000 meals for Christmas,Easter,Thanksgiving dinners.
NRC,is a great bunch of people,and are top notched,looking to help the partners in their area.
I would suggest if you need a organization to help this is the one,they are 1000% for the clients,please contact NRC and get involved today!!
They are the best
I have worked with National Relief Charities for several years now transporting product to their locations in Arizona and South Dakota. I am very impressed with how much National Relief wants to service its communities. For example, I've received last minute requests because weather or perhaps wildfires has caused a need for supplies quickly; you can tell that this isn't just a job, it's about people.
They try their best to supply what is needed within a timely, cost-effective manner.

National Relief Charities has assisted our program tremendously with the many different items for incentives to be given to our clients. I believe without their support we would not be able to make our program a huge success for our clients. The elderly members within our communities live on a fixed income, so most of the items we give to them is considered of grave support. I am very thankful for everything you all provide for our people. Thank you so very much.

I work for a nonprofit charity in an assisted living home right off of the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Our facility is for Native Americans and is run on donations so the supplies and donations that we receive from the NRC truly help in facilitating our mission. They are very professional and helpful and very consistent in the delivery of our products. The elders even took a field trip to see the warehouse last summer as an outing, It was great to put faces to names and to see the wonderful program close up.

We have been partnering with NRC for two years. We participate in their Literacy Program. All staff are professional, caring, and attentive. NRC has helped hundreds of families in our community with household supplies, food items, children's toys, and many other goodies. Our students are always very eager for the next delivery of goodies for our Literacy Program. Our community is a poor community and the help NRC provides us is greatly appreciated.

I can not say enough about the incredible work NRC does on the reservations in the Great Plains region. I have had the honor and pleasure of working with this organization for many years. I am amazed at the professionalism and genuine compassion expressed by each individual working at the organization. NRC has always put the reservation communities first without hesitation which. NRC is an incredible asset to my people across the region and I thank you for all you do.

Darkmoon Faire; the money playground that comes around once a month. Running from the first Sunday each month for one week, it is a great way to cash up. Luckily, you can work on it throughout the month and stock up ready for the initial few days of inflation and craziness.
Trinkets galore!
This late in the expansion, the trinkets from DMF aren't as sought after as the first patch. But they do sell still! Being one of the only non-raid trinkets available they can still sell for at least 5k on most realms. If you are lucky, pick up the cards cheap from other people on the AH and resell them. I would not suggest actually crafting the cards though, as they are expensive and the resources are best put to use on shoulder enchants and other items
Fishing for profits!
Around the Darkmoon Faire are Shipwrecked Debris. These fishing nods are a great way to make some easy money. From each crate, you have a chance to get lots of different MoP materials like Ghost Iron Ore and Windwool Cloth. While it isn't the most efficient way to farm materials by any means, any level 5 can go there and fish to their heart's content. It is a great way to start up on a new server at low levels!
Another item found from fishing is the Sea Pony. This pet is only available on the Darkmoon Island and sells for about 1k gold on my server. Definitely worth looking into if you have the time and patience to fish
Rabbits and Wolves!
Introduced with MoP were two 'world boss'-type creatures on the Darkmoon Island. One being the Darkmoon Rabbit and the other being Moon-Moon. Both of these are rare spawns on the island, with Moon-Moon being more common. Also, both drop a special Companion pet which are worth a lot. The rabbit is priced around 40-60k on most realms, and I was lucky enough to grab one on the first try! Rabbit groups are generally small to minimize how many people you have to roll against, but Moon-Moon gives her loot to everyone similar to the new LFR system.
On your first visit to the island, you can pick up a Darkmoon Adventurer's guide. This enables you to pick up several different items to hand in for Darkmoon Tickets while you go PvP, dungeon or raid. One of the best parts of this is that it works year round! During the rest of the month, you can stock up on the items from your other gameplay, and sell them off on the AH
Not adventuring!
Or you can do what I do, and buy them cheap through-out the month. Typically, they drop in price after the DMF is gone, reaching their lowest prices. Now is the best time to grab them up and save them for that Darkmoon Week! Buying 10g items and flipping them for 250 is great, and these are fairly available that late in the month.
The tickets you get from handing in the items can be used to buy awesome items! These include pets, transmog items and heirlooms.
Your best bet is the pets, but don't put them on the AH straight away. Many people have the same idea during the DMF so you are best off waiting for it to cooldown and selling them. You can also buy people's cheap pets that they put up while in undercutting wars to resell!
Hopefully this helps out anyone who doesn't know how to make money during the Faire. There are lots of great ways, so make sure you make the most of all of them. Keep your Adventurer's Guide handy and stock up on all the great items!

WORCESTER, Mass. - Sophomore point guard Laura Aloisi poured in a career-high 21 points and three other Crusaders scored in double-figures to lead the Holy Cross women's basketball team to a 64-60 win over third-seeded Bucknell on Saturday afternoon in the Patriot League semifinals at the Hart Center. The second-seeded Crusaders improve to 16-13 overall and advance to the conference championship game where they will face top-seeded Army on Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m., in West Point, N.Y. The Bison finish their season at 18-11 overall.
Aloisi had 17 of her game-high 21 points in the first half and finished the game 6-for-10 from the floor, while adding three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 40 minutes of action. She was 5-for-6 from the field and 5-for-5 from the line in the first half. Junior guard Brittany Keil scored 19 points - 11 of which came in the first half - and tied for game-high honors with nine rebounds. Junior center Kaitlin Foley added 12 points, eight rebounds, and a career-high four assists, while senior guard Shannon Bush chipped in with 10 points, four assists and three boards.
Holy Cross started the game 4-for-6 (66.7 percent) from the floor and jumped out to a 10-3 lead to start the game. Bucknell regrouped after a timeout and went on a 10-0 run on the strength of seven straight points by Lauren Schober to take a 13-10 lead at the 14:25 mark. But Holy Cross responded with back-to-back treys by Aloisi and Keil to go ahead 16-13 with 13:12 on the clock. Six minutes later, the Crusaders found themselves down by four (25-21) after a Lindsey Hollobaugh three-pointer, but fought back to take a three-point lead of their own (31-28) following a Keil long ball at the 4:33 mark. The Crusaders were able to maintain the lead into the break and went into the locker room with a 39-34 lead at the half.
Holy Cross shot 43.8 percent (14-for-32) from the field in the first and made 66.7 percent (6-for-9) of its three-point attempts. Bucknell shot 42.4 percent (14-for-33) in the first and only turned the ball over three times, while scoring 10 points off of eight Crusader mishaps.
The Crusaders started the second half on fire, hitting four of their first five shots to extend their lead to 12 (48-36) after a Keil triple at the 17:18 mark. A Bush free throw gave Holy Cross a 13 point lead, until Bucknell responded with a 15-3 run to get within one (52-51) with 9:58 remaining. But the Crusaders kept their composure and never relinquished the lead, as they held the Bison to just nine points in the final ten minutes of the game, while making four free throws down the stretch to seal the win.
The Crusaders finished the game 43.1 percent from the floor and held Bucknell to 37.3 shooting on the afternoon. Holy Cross also won the rebounding battle, 37-29, including a 12-8 advantage on the offensive glass.
Bucknell was led by Hope Foster's 19 points and nine rebounds. Hollobaugh finished with 13 points and Kesha Champion and Lauren Schober added 12 and 11 points, respectively.
In the other bracket, top-seeded Army defeated fifth-seeded Colgate, 73-55 in the semifinal round to advance to the title game, which will be held at Christl Arena in West Point, N.Y.

Murray named Classic MVP, Parks and Roberts make all-tournament team.
BOISE, Idaho (9/13/2009) - Boise State University's and the University of Northern Colorado's soccer teams battled for 110 minutes before settling on a scoreless draw in the final match of the Holiday Inn Classic Sunday afternoon in Boise. Both teams had their chances to win but came up short in the end as the two teams completed the weekend's competition with identical 1-0-1 records. Boise State's Jayne Murray was named the tournament MVP while she was joined by Erica Parks and Lindsay Roberts on the all-tournament team for the Broncos.
The Broncos outshot the Bears 23-to-eight on the day and nine-to-three in shots on goal. Northern Colorado's keeper Kirsten Salminen came up big for the Bears several times making key saves to preserve the tie. She stopped four Bronco shots on goal in the first half, three in the second, and two in overtime.
Meanwhile, Boise State's Jennifer Burns was rarely tested on the day but did deny the Bears on all three of their shots on goal. The first came in the second minute of play with the last two coming in the final overtime to preserve the draw for Boise State.
Boise State placed four shots on goal in the opening 45 minutes with Shannon Saxton (17th), Chelsea Robinson (20th) and Cheyenne Jones (29th) all being denied. On Robinson's shot the keeper had to stretch for the save touching the ball over the cross bar. Catherine Leewaye placed the final shot on goal in the 41st minute but came up short as the Bears' keeper turned it away to make it a 0-0 ball game at the half.
Boise State opened the second half with freshman Erica Parks taking a shot 20 seconds into the period only to see a defender block it.
In the 50th minute Jones fired from 15 yards out only to have her second on target shot denied by Salminen. However, the rebound fell back to Jones who volleyed it back at goal when it hit the right post and deflected out of trouble.
Kaylea Perenon nearly gave the Broncos the lead in the 76ht minute when she cranked a shot from distance on the left flank only to see Salminen stretch for the save touching the strike off the cross bar on out of bounds.
In overtime Boise State placed two shots on goal by Brianne Favatella and Parks. Favatella's shot was a header from six yards out that beat the keeper but was headed away from the goal line and over the cross bar by UNC's Danielle Birdsall.
In the second overtime Northern Colorado had shots on goal from Sydney VanDervelde and Brittani Knott only to see the Broncos Jennifer Burns deny both shots at the goal mouth.
Boise State placed several scoring opportunities just wide or high of goal throughout the day as the offense turned in another solid performance with 23 shots compare to eight for the Bears. On the weekend Boise State outshot their opponents 53-to-nine overall and 24-to-three in shots on goal.
Boise State's defense was key for the Broncos this weekend as they recorded back-to-back shutouts, the first two clean sheets of the season for the home side.
The draw gives Boise State a 4-3-1 overall mark on the season. Next up for the Broncos is the Soccer Etc.-Nike Invitational this coming weekend in Boise when they play North Dakota State University on Friday and the University of Wyoming Sunday. Northern Colorado moves to 3-2-1 on the year with the draw.

"The World is Flat" by Thomas Freidman
Jim has made a couple of postings recently about the reach of the Internet, FB and Mary G's Bakery -- and how he ended up teaching bread classes to student from New Zealand. Put differently, you have an American living in Italy, helping anyone who speaks English make an Italian oven, who has a friend and partner in Canada who teaches baking classes to a New Zealander whom he met through FB.com, who will install an Italian oven in her house when she returns home. What a kick.
On that topic, I am reading "The World is Flat" by Thomas Freidman, and I think it is excellent. He describes how we have all become interconnected and what it means to business, products, jobs, the environment, our kids, etc. Our daughters will be living in a very different world than the one I grew up in.
The tone of the book is pretty optimistic, though you have be sure that you (and your kids) find yourselves on the right side of the globalization trend. In the wine business, the new world wines are Australia, New Zealand, Chile, America, etc., and the old world wines are Italy, France and Spain. Now there is a new, new world.

Room Additions Prices in Austin: Are They within Budget?
If your home is becoming too small for the family. As the family grows, everyone is starting to fight to use the two bathrooms in your home every morning and this is just causing chaos. Plus, your wife is pregnant and you need an extra room for a nursery. You have thought about moving to a different home but you have fallen in love with your neighborhood, thus, your best option is to get room additions for your home. Or are you simply wanting to put a little Thai school for Thai classes in your area? This peculiar scenarios are not impossible.
In any home problem, there is a solution. One of the best solutions to date is the room addition although it is not cheap. The average room additions prices in Austin are around $30,000 for a small bathroom and around $250,000 for a larger room. The rates can vary from $90/sf and $250/sf depending on the extent of work needed for the room addition. You can always try to look for room addition builders that prices cheaper but never forget the quality of the service as well as the materials used. All in all, room additions are better solutions compared to buying a new home.

Thanks for revealing your ideas on this blog. As well, a delusion regarding the banking institutions intentions when talking about property foreclosures is that the lender will not take my

within the hole, they'll commonly call that you pay the payment completely. However, i am not saying that they will have any sort of repayments at all.

I have noticed that online degree is getting preferred because accomplishing your college degree
online has changed into a popular option for many people.
A lot of people have never had a possibility to attend a regular college or university but seek the
increased earning potential and a better job that a Bachelors Degree affords.
Still other folks might have a degree in one discipline but wish to pursue some thing they now have an interest in.

Belarusian kids with cancer find home away from home at Caritas center
Six-year-old cancer patient Igor Voroshenia holds a cookie next to his mother, Marina, at their home in Borovliany, Belarus. The mother and son found the home at St. Luke Center, built by Caritas in 2004 for Belarus's young cancer victims and their families. After months of testing, Igor was diagnosed with cancer in the leg. (CNS/James Martone)
By James Martone
Catholic News Service
BOROVLIANY, Belarus (CNS) -- A little over a year ago, Marina Voroshenia took her 5-year-old son, Igor, to the hospital. After months of testing, Igor was diagnosed with cancer in the leg. Doctors operated on him almost immediately.
"It was very, very hard to accept the sarcoma diagnosis," said Voroshenia, a single mother who described feeling afraid and alone at the time.
It got worse, she said, when doctors told her Igor would still need months of chemotherapy and radiation at the country's only oncology clinic for children, in the village of Leskovka, near the capital, Minsk. In response to a marked rise in cancer cases following the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, treatment at the state clinic was free, but it was three hours away by bus and far from any extended family or friends.
Praying for the best and determined to beat her only child's disease, Voroshenia said she packed their bags and left for the state clinic, where, after Igor's first day of chemotherapy, staff took her and Igor to St. Luke Center.
"It would have been too expensive to rent an apartment," said Voroshenia, who said she earned very little as a government teacher. She spoke to
Catholic News Service
from a kitchen at St. Luke's, where she was seated, eating cookies and drinking light tea with Igor, now 6.
Established in 2004 in Borovliany with money from an Austrian branch of the Catholic charity Caritas, St. Luke's brightly colored houses and surrounding gardens provide free rooms and other services to people like Voroshenia, for whom accessing treatment at the oncology clinic would otherwise be impossible.
"Now things are finally better," Voroshenia said, smiling. She said St. Luke's -- only five minutes away from the cancer clinic -- had provided her with long-term friendships with other mothers facing similar challenges and had given her son precious respite from the grueling chemotherapy and radiology he had at the clinic five days a week.
"It is very important for Igor that there are no doctors here. He likes that he can go out of the room and into the garden, and he feels here is like his home," Voroshenia said.
"I like to ride a bike," said Igor. He said he learned to ride in the center's gardens, with two other children, a boy and a girl, who were undergoing radiotherapy at the clinic and living at St. Luke's.
Olga Labuts, who works for Caritas Belarus, which operates St. Luke's, said the center had 19 families -- one child and one parent --at all times. She said each family got one room with a private bathroom and could stay as long as the treatments at the nearby clinic lasted. Three families share one kitchen.
"Because of (cancer) treatments, many kids are on different diets ... it would be too hard for us to cook for each," said Labuts, 25, who left a career in the fashion industry two years ago to do public relations for St. Luke's and Caritas.
She said that in addition to free accommodation at the center, recovering children had access to art therapy classes, games and other activities to help take their minds off their illnesses. She said troubled parents had access to an onsite therapist as well, to discuss whatever they wished.
"There are sometimes very problematic families. We have had cases of (depressed) parents who stop cooking for their children, or start drinking," she said. "We try to intervene; we try to talk to such mothers."
She said that in addition to continued financial support from Caritas in Austria, the center depends on yearly collections from Belarus' more than 400 Catholic parishes, as well as volunteer help from nearby communities and schools; on weekends, locals come to clean St. Luke's small conference hall and other vacant rooms, which the center has rented out to cover rising utility bills.
"Everything is in God's hands; if he wants this work to continue, everything will be OK ... even if we can't always raise the money," she said, adding that she was praying to come up with enough extra funds to pay "for repairs to the furnace, so we have heat for next winter."
By then, Voroshenia hopes to be gone. She said doctors have assured her Igor's cancer is in remission, and that his treatments would end in June. She said she would keep in touch with friends she made among the other mothers at St. Luke Center.
Igor said he wanted "a rest from treatment," although he said he would miss a dog named Zilda that wandered in and out of the center's gardens and played with the children.
"I miss my grandparents and my cousins," Igor said.

This generous wine offers an astonishingly long and subtle finish. It is extremely complex and is distinguished by great freshness. On the palate, strong notes of fruit recall the refined nose. The finish is surprising in is persistence.
In 1816, Mme. Clicquot invented the process, called rémuage or riddling, that removes the yeast from the bottle. She used holes cut in her kitchen table to perfect the method of slowly tilting and turning the bottles to gather the spent yeast in the neck of the bottle. Once settled it could be removed by freezing the neck in a brine of salt and water, removing it, and recorking.
The company was taken public in 1963, and merged with Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessey in 1986. Today, Jacques Peters is the chief winemaker at Veuve Clicquot, and was appointed cellar master in 1985. He has undertaken an ambitious program since this time to upgrade the grape sources, improve the vineyards, and improve the cellars and production facilities.

Different Cultures Do Things Differently
When you begin to do business across different countries you quickly become aware of the scope to which different ways of doing things effects how you carry out business.
This usually starts at the very first communication:
- How you say hello
Different cultures have different ways of saying hello.
Greeting someone in the right way goes beyond a simple translation of the word "hello". It is also many different aspects of how you say hello.
For example, in Anglo-Saxon countries, you can start an email off with a simple "Hi" in most circumstances. But in other countries you would might need to make a more formal greeting and take a little time to present yourself. Even if you are writing in English you still need to pay attention to cultural differences and perceptions.
French people feel more comfortable, for example, when they know how to address you in return. They are used to an elaborate etiquette in writing hello and goodbye. A simple "Hi" is not a good idea because it does not give them enough to know how to address you in return and this can make them feel uncomfortable.
Learning how to say "hello" to different cultures can be a challenge in itself and when you feel confident at this stage, you may think that you are halfway through developing your international skills.
But this is far from the truth…
These skills will help you, but you need to continually question different methods of doing things. This is because different ways of doing things effect how business is done at all levels.

About 15 years ago, I was responsible for putting a catalog together for a major international event. I had to contact over 1000 participants from all over the world and get the text they wanted for their entry in the catalog as well as their company logo.
This was before the web was present over the world as it is today. At the time, the company logo had to be given to the printing house in a specific format.
The trouble was that different countries preferred different formats and these different formats:
- Either, did not work in another process
- Or, produced the wrong results in another process
The words to describe this specific format were different in different countries. Yes, even in English. To complicate matters even more, the people I was in contact with were not all well-versed in professional printing practices.
Whenever I tried to use the correct vocabulary there were just too many wrong interpretations or translations due to:
- Different cultures used different vocabulary
- Different ways to provide materials for print
- Different cultures had different preferred printing methods
In the end, I found the best way to avoid any errors was to take the time to describe:
- What the required printing materials physically looked like
- How it fit into the printing process
The Cross-Cultural Communication Mistake – Different Printing Practices
The result?
Well… I was told that the catalog I put together had the fewest errors in it that the publisher had ever seen for similar events. And I had done this in a very short time frame.
But despite all of my efforts, I did have one print error.
Yes, it was a big one.
A logo was printed back to front. And this was very embarrassing because it was for:
- An important client – so high level apologies were needed
- A Japanese client – where the cultural differences make it difficult to find the appropriate way to apologize
This mistake was a direct result of people doing things differently in different cultures.
I thought I had resolved all of these issues. But there were several hundred of them and as usual, the it was a job that had to be done in a short time frame. And one wrong logo did actually slip through the net. The only way I might have prevented this error was to physically be on the production scene and to take the time to check every single one as it came through.
In this case, wrong interpretations or miscommunication could potentially happen at every single stage along the process. This is one of the reasons why the previous catalogs had more errors.
Different Cultures Do Things Differently
You must never forget that different cultures do things differently.
- There is no right way or wrong way
- There are just different ways
And in any international setting you quickly learn to question your own way of doing things.
- Is this what is being asked?
- What am I asking the others?
- Is this appropriate?
The first lessons you learn when adapting how you say hello in different cultures help you when confronted with other challenges created by doing things differently. In cross-cultural communication you learn to simplify the requests you make and the responses you give while striving for effective cross-cultural communication. With experience you will probably notice how the best solution is often a simple one.
What about you?
Can you share how you coped with different ways of doing things?
- Do you know of any cultural blunders due to different ways of doing things?
- What tactics have you used to work across cultures when people did things differently?
- How do different ways of doing things in different cultures effect your business?

How to Know if Someone Has Blocked You on Gmail Chat
Posted on : 20-09-2009 | By : admin | In : Software & Applications
Tags: block, gmail chat, how to know if someone has blocked you on gmail chat
Errrr… tch tch tch… what a pity! How did you mess up things my friend? Anyways, not to worry. Consider it as a good lesson in life. Learn to respect your friends; don't fool around with them, because if you do, you may end up real lonely and sad.
So, coming back to the main topic, what I think is that online chat provides a very limited means of communications. If you get too involved, you might really be giving a hard time to the person at the other end, eating their brains basically. If a detailed discussion is something you want, you need to simply arrange a meeting or visit them at their home or office.
On how to know if someone has blocked you on gmail chat, what happens in most cases is that your worst fears often come true. What is even worse is that gmail chat does not inform the "blocked" person that they have been blocked. So, if you happen to be the "blocked" person, you will never come to know that you have been blocked. You may still go on typing forever, thinking that the person might just be invisible or may receive your chat when they come online.
Something like that could be disastrous, and that's where you need to know what's going on. Identify the problem basically and then take remedial action. Here's how you can do that.
Download and install Pidgin, a chat client that allows you to chat with all your friends (using different chats) in a single window. Using pidgin, you can chat with your friends on other chat networks such as Google chat, MSN, Yahoo and many more. Once installed, you just need to "add" all your various chat accounts that you may have. Configuration guidelines for different chat networks are available on pidgin site, or you can also do a simple Google search.
Once installed, you just have to click "buddies", mouseover "show" and select "show offline buddies". Then you have to right-click on the person who you think has blocked you and select "get info". If you do not see any information like name or image, you can be sure that you have been blocked for good. Pretty sad right?
Guess, that's all I can help you with. What you do now and how you will get things back to their former status is up to you. I wish you luck though. May you learn your lessons well!

Right Side News Reports from the Federation for American Immigration Reform
With the Government re-opened and Congress moving on to different issues, Republican Leaders in the House of Representatives are now sending mixed messages regarding their plans to address immigration in 2013. Last week, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) hinted that he still wants a vote on immigration legislation this year. When asked if immigration could be brought to the House floor for a vote in 2013, he replied: "I still think that immigration reform is an important subject that needs to be addressed and I am hopeful." (Reuters, Oct. 23, 2013)
Later that day, Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) stated on the House floor that GOP leadership expects to move immigration legislation before the year's end. "There are plenty of bipartisan efforts underway and discussions between members on both sides of the aisle to try and address what is broken about our immigration system," Cantor said in an exchange with Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD). (Hoyer-Cantor Exchange, Oct. 25, 2013) "The committees are still working on this issue, and I expect us to move forward this year in trying to address reform and what is broken about our system." (Id.) (emphasis added)
Additionally, pro-amnesty Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) reiterated that Speaker Boehner is plotting a way to pass immigration reform. "We have meetings one to two times per week and I can tell you that there is a plan to bring immigration to the floor," Franks said, referring to closed-door meetings between Boehner and himself. (KTAR News, Oct. 25, 2013)
However, "leadership ally" Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) dismissed the idea that the House will deal with immigration before the next fiscal fight is resolved. "I don't even think we'll get to that point until we get these other problems solved," Cole said, citing the need for Congress to pass a budget by mid-January and raise the debt ceiling again by early February to avoid another government shutdown. (The Hill, Oct. 25, 2013) "We're not sure we can chew gum, let alone walk and chew gum, so let's just chew gum for a while," Cole said. (Id.) According to The Hill, GOP leadership aides say that House Leadership has not ruled out bringing up immigration, but does not currently have a plan to vote on immigration in the remaining legislative days of 2013. (Id.)
Whether the House takes up immigration in 2013 or not, there is still a strong likelihood that the House will address immigration at some point over the next few months. Speaker Boehner has stated that he wants an immigration bill to pass (although he has been vague about what he specifically supports), and House members confirmed just last week they are still drafting several immigration bills. (See, e.g., The Washington Post, June 26, 2013; Wall Street Journal, Oct. 22, 2013) However, it remains unclear whether Speaker Boehner will publicly promise that he will not send any bills passed by the House to conference committee with the Senate amnesty bill (S.744). Until the Speaker makes that commitment, any immigration measure that leaves the House, small or large, could turn into a massive, Obamacare-like amnesty bill.
In a speech last week, President Obama renewed his amnesty push, calling for House Republican leaders to take up immigration before the year's end. "We should pass immigration reform. It's good for our economy. It's good for our national security. It's good for our people. And we should do it this year," he said. (See Transcript of President Obama's Speech, Oct. 24, 2013)
Flanked by representatives from special interest groups, President Obama told Congress it must adopt policies that are fair to illegal aliens living in the U.S. "It doesn't make sense to have 11 million people who are in this country illegally without any incentive or any way for them to come out of the shadows, get right with the law, meet their responsibilities and permit their families then to move ahead. It's not smart; it's not fair..." the President declared. (Id.)
In response, National ICE Council Union President, Chris Crane, who represents over 7,000 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, urged Congress to ensure current immigration laws are enforced before passing new ones. "We urge lawmakers to stand with law enforcement, because this White House will not. No new legislation will succeed if America does not first address the problem of [President Obama] lawlessly ignoring the laws enacted by Congress," said Crane. (See ICE Union Response to Obama Speech, Oct. 24, 2013)
Despite Crane's plea for Congress to uphold the rule of law, national pro-amnesty union bosses continued to cheer on the President. "We commend President Obama for renewing his commitment to passing immigration reform this year and urging Republicans in the House to act quickly," said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. (See AFL-CIO Press Release, Oct. 24, 2013) Likewise, International Executive Vice President of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Rocio Sáenz, said she was "inspired" by President Obama's comments. "We are very encouraged and inspired by the President's remarks today in which he outlined the many reasons why Congress should pass commonsense immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship this year...Importantly, President Obama said that Congress has time to get it done. Now it is up to House Republican leadership to move a bill to the floor for a vote." (See SEIU Press Release, Oct. 24, 2013)
Although amnesty advocates hailed the President's speech, critics pointed out that the President's renewed push for amnesty comes just as the media is beginning to focus on the implementation of Obamacare. In fact, the President's call to action came at the exact time the House Energy and Commerce Committee was holding a widely publicized hearing on the Administration's failure to oversee the website implementing the president's signature healthcare program. (See CNN, Oct. 25, 2013; see also Washington Post, Oct. 24, 2013) The House of Representatives now has less than 20 working days left this calendar year in which to take up immigration.
According to a recent interview with inside-the-beltway publication Politico, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) plans to introduce a new bill that will grant amnesty to illegal aliens. (Politico, Oct. 23, 2013) Although details about its provisions are limited, the bill reportedly grants illegal aliens legal status for six years, giving them the ability to seek a green card or citizenship. (Id.) The legislation would have separate categories for illegal aliens who wish to participate in an agricultural guest worker program and for those who have U.S. citizens as relatives. (Id.) It would also allow illegal aliens to travel to their native countries. (Id.)
Discussions about Rep. Issa's legislation have been conducted behind closed doors as the Congressman tries to rally support for his bill. In fact, Rep. Issa has asserted that a "number" of lawmakers are in talks to support his upcoming amnesty bill, but has declined to mention their names. (Id.) Congressman Issa has also held meetings with unnamed "stakeholders" to receive feedback on the bill. (The Hill, Oct. 22, 2013)
In response, President of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council (a union representing over 7,000 ICE agents, officers, and personnel) Chris Crane, urged Rep. Issa (who also chairs the powerful House Oversight Committee) to investigate the Administration's abuse of federal immigration law. (Breitbart News, Oct. 24, 2013) Crane said, "I would urge House lawmakers in the strongest possible terms, including House GOP oversight Chair Darrell Issa, to investigate the whistleblower accusations of ICE officers and other immigration agents prior to the introduction of any legalization bill." Mr. Crane also asked Rep. Issa to seek input from his officers. "I would also urge Mr. Issa and any House lawmaker writing a legalization plan to first consult with these law enforcement whistleblowers." (ICE Letter, Oct. 24, 2013) Crane added, "It's just ridiculous how people up on the Hill are approaching this by ignoring the review of the law in a common-sense basic approach that we need to take."
Several members of Congress, including Rep. Issa, are drafting immigration bills. Representative Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), once GOP leader of the House Gang of Eight, is reportedly still working on an amnesty bill. (Wall Street Journal, Oct. 22, 2013) Meanwhile, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) have been reportedly crafting their own version of a DREAM Act for months. (FAIR Legislative Update, Aug. 7, 2013) In addition, Chairman Goodlatte said he expects at least four new immigration bills to be approved by the Judiciary Committee, as well as a fifth to be voted through another committee. (News Leader, Oct. 23, 2013)
During an interview Friday with CNN, Senator Marco Rubio — amnesty champion and chief author of the Senate Gang of Eight amnesty bill (S.744) — said that approaching immigration through a series of smaller bills is his "preferred option." (CNN's New Day, Oct. 25, 2013) Only a day later, Rubio went a step farther, telling blogger Matthew Boyle that the House of Representatives should not take up individual immigration bills as a "ruse" to get to a conference committee. (Breitbart, Oct. 26, 2013)
Senator Rubio, who defended the Senate amnesty bill on the floor until the very last vote, was clearly working hard to define his position. "I still want to solve immigration," he insisted. "I think it's an important issue for the country to deal with. But I don't think that we should not do anything because we can't do everything. That was my original position and continues to be my preferred option because I just think we're going to get a better result that way," Rubio said. (CNN's New Day, Oct. 25, 2013)
As for the drawbacks of the "comprehensive" approach Rubio championed only four months ago, Senator Rubio suggested it was not realistic to expect Congress to pass a massive 1,200-page bill. "I think when you try to do anything big in Washington, it ends up running into headwinds. Now that's the direction the Senate went. I wanted to influence that process so I got involved in it. But I continue to believe that a series of sequential individual bills is the best way, the ideal way, to reform our immigration system," said Rubio. (Id.)
After Rubio's CNN interview on Friday, Alex Conant, a spokesman for Rubio elaborated on the Senator's position. According to Conant, Rubio does not oppose going to a conference committee, but wants any bicameral negotiations to be limited to what the House passes. (Politico, Oct. 28, 2013) "At this point, the most realistic way to make progress on immigration would be through a series of individual bills," spokesman Alex Conant said. "Any effort to use a limited bill as a ruse to trigger a conference that would then produce a comprehensive bill would be counterproductive. Furthermore, any such effort would fail, because any single senator can and will block conference unless such conference is specifically instructed to limit the conference to only the issue dealt with in the underlying bill." (Breitbart, Oct. 26, 2013)
What Rubio's statements mean for the future of amnesty legislation is uncertain. Rich Lowry of National Review wrote Monday, "I'm not sure it has ever happened before that an architect of major legislation in the Senate has basically opposed its passage in the House. But that's where Marco Rubio is. The politics of this aren't great for Rubio: He has already, rightly, taken a political hit for crafting and promoting the Gang of Eight bill (which probably wouldn't have gotten out of the Senate without his spirited support); now he is going to take another hit, understandably, for his inconstancy. But his stance marginally strengthens opponents of a conference, and we need all the help we can get. (NRO, Oct. 28, 2013)
On October 21, New York State Senator Jose M. Serrano introduced a bill that would bar state and local law enforcement agents (including prisons) from handing over criminal aliens to federal immigration agents upon request. The bill, SB 5960, prohibits state and local law enforcement from detaining any person otherwise eligible for release whose "only violation of the law" is a violation of federal immigration law unless certain conditions exist.
In contrast, SB 5960 would only permit state or local law enforcement officers to detain an illegal alien otherwise eligible for release if he or she has been convicted of a violent felony or convicted within the last five years of a specified misdemeanor. Any person merely charged with a violent felony or a misdemeanor would not qualify.
Federal regulations provide that once ICE issues a detainer for an alien in state or local custody for an independent offense, jail officials should maintain custody for up to 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) to allow ICE agents time to pick up the alien. (See 8 C.F.R. 287.7(d)). ICE officials say ignoring ICE detainers endangers public safety and is unconstitutional as the federal government has the sole discretion as to who can reside in the United States. (Former ICE Director Morton Letter, Aug. 23, 2012; Former ICE Director Julie Myers Wood Statement, Sep. 24, 2013).
Moreover, the Obama Administration has significantly restricted the circumstances under which federal agents may pursue aliens in the custody of state and local law enforcement. In December, 2012, ICE issued a new detainer policy to requesting the detention of an alien only where (1) the officer has reasonable belief that the alien is subject to removal from the U.S. and (2) the alien:
The fact that ICE may only issue detainers requesting custody of aliens in the most severe circumstances demonstrates the public safety risk posed by SB 5960. In short, if the New York Legislature adopts SB 5960, New York law enforcement officials will be required to release most criminal aliens back onto the streets instead of turning them over to federal authorities for removal.
California recently enacted a similar measure to limit the conditions upon which law enforcement officers can honor ICE detainers (AB 4, "The Trust Act"). The Obama administration has previously sued states that have enacted laws to enforce federal immigration laws, such as Alabama South Carolina and Arizona, claiming that federal preemption precludes states from becoming involved in any aspect of immigration enforcement. The Obama administration, however, has yet to bring an action against any state or local government that endorses sanctuary or non-cooperation policies that blatantly impede the federal government's ability to enforce immigration laws.
At its annual conference last Thursday, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Ombudsman devoted its keynote panel to promoting President Obama's amnesty agenda. In particular, the keynote panelists represented organizations who would likely provide legal services to illegal aliens in the event of an amnesty, including: the National Council of La Raza, City University of New York Citizenship Now, Immigration Advocates Network, National Immigration Law Center, and Kids in Need of Defense.
The pro-amnesty panelists spent the morning discussing how their organizations could ensure that implementation of any upcoming amnesty should include as many illegal aliens as possible, and they emphasized how they were already using the DHS policy memo known as "DACA" in the broader amnesty push. In particular, the panelists saw DACA as a key focus for amnesty proponents. For instance, Charles Kamasaki, Executive Vice President of La Raza, referred to it as a test run for a modern legalization program. Kamal Essaheb, an attorney from the National Immigration Law Center (NILC), explained how involved his and other such organizations are in the implementation of DACA, which he described as particularly "exciting" because it is not based on a statute (in other words, unlawful).
Another theme of the panel was how to profit from the experience of the 1986 amnesty. For the panelists, "success" in immigration "reform" should be measured by how many illegal aliens are legalized (whether a law effectively stops future illegal immigration was not discussed). Charles Kamasaki explained how the 1986 amnesty offered many practical lessons to maximize the number of illegal aliens who are ultimately naturalized. He emphasized that "outreach" to the potentially eligible population was more important than providing them services and noted the value of having a sympathetic media and a lack of organized opponents during the legalization period.
As President Obama's Thursday speech coincided with the keynote panel, the Ombudsman temporarily interrupted one of the panelists in order to screen the speech live. Notably, the conference mirrored the president's stated theme of listening to diverse interests across the country, but just as in Obama's case, such diversity was one-sided. The stakeholders represented consisted of those who stand to gain financially from passing an amnesty bill, such as illegal aliens, "Big Business," and immigration lawyers. Those who stand to lose, such as American workers and law enforcement, were simply left unmentioned and without a voice

FWIW, samba now gets this information from debconf. I don't have
/etc/samba/debian_config on my debian box and the init.d script doesn't
test for it.
A temporary solution might be to just touch the file -- since things seem
to be working without it.
