Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack overviewThe architectural goal of the Scalable Networking initiative is to scale applications in the Windows family of operating systems to new levels of performance at a variety of cost points. Because of the variety of cost points and because of the variation in workload, the initiative includes the following two fundamental approaches:
RSS and NetDMA are stateless offloads. Where multiple CPUs reside in a single computer, the Windows networking stack limits "receive" protocol processing to a single CPU. RSS resolves this issue by enabling the packets that are received from a network adapter to be balanced across multiple CPUs. NetDMA allows for a Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine on the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The TCP/IP stack can use the DMA engine to copy data instead of interrupting the CPU to handle the copy operation.
The following table describes the interactions between the various components of the Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack.
Note If both TCP Chimney and NetDMA are available, the operating system will select TCP Chimney.
Collapse this tableExpand this table
The Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack updates the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS). After you install the update, there is no user interface to configure the options that are associated with the Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack. By default, the options are turned on. You can configure the options by using the Netsh.exe tool or by using the registry.
TCP Chimney offload and NetDMA will not work with the following features:
By default, the IP NAT and IPsec Policy Agent features are turned on when certain components such as bridging and routing services are enabled. Therefore, TCP Chimney and NetDMA will not function in such a scenario. When the bridging and routing services are disabled, IPNAT is not turned off. Therefore, TCP Chimney or NetDMA is not re-enabled. The IP NAT and IPsec Policy Agent features must be explicitly turned off before TCP Chimney or NetDMA can function.
Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack usageImportant This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ )How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
After you restart the server and turn on TCP Chimney offload by using the Netsh.exe tool, nine global registry entries are available under the following registry subkey:
The nine global registry entries are as follows:
The MinPacketSizeToDma global registry value configures the minimum packet size that would trigger usage of DMA. We recommend that you leave the default value for this setting.
If the space that remains in a posted TCP buffer is less than the DmaSyncCompletionHighThreshold global registry value, TCP will wait for the NetDMA operation to be completed synchronously. If the value of the DmaSyncCompletionHighThreshold global registry value is zero, TCP does not wait for the synchronous NetDMA operation to finish.
The REG_MULTI_SZ values are applicable only to TCP Chimney offload. For the REG_MULTI_SZ registry values, you can type port numbers between 1 and 65,535. Port numbers are separated by spaces or by commas. Each registry value enables a maximum of 12 ports to be specified. If a port number is incorrect, it will be ignored.
The port policy that is set by using the registry values is evaluated as follows:
Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack open issuesThird-party firewall vendors cannot connect to the Windows networking stack by using undocumented APIs when TCP Chimney offload is enabled.
TCP/IP statistics that are obtained from offload-capable hardware will be double counted if the following conditions are true:

In the space of just the past few years, Art Johnston has gone from thinking of unified communications as optional to viewing it as "a strategy that we need to implement to be competitive."
As CIO at Argo Turboserve Corp. (ATC), a Lyndhurst, N.J.-based company that provides customized supply chain management and nuclear engineering services, Johnston understands the importance of ensuring that the company's employees be able to access all their communications tools at any time, from any place.
"Our value-add to customers is in getting them immediate responses, solutions and answers," he explains. "The one thing we don't want to have is 'We'll get back to you' as an answer."
And a survey released in June by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) found that 49% of IT and business leaders surveyed said their spending for UC technology would grow faster than their overall IT budgets in the next 12 months.
Large firms -- those with 500 or more employees -- were the most likely to increase their unified communications investment relative to their overall IT, according to the survey of 600 executives, who were polled in March.
That said, Tim Herbert, vice president of research at (CompTIA), says companies are likely to find that moving forward with unified communications is a complex and costly undertaking.
That's the kind of scenario that can force a company's hand: It either makes an investment in UC, or resolves to live with the consequences of workers piecing together their own communications solutions, along with the questionable security and patchwork availability that often comes with such do-it-yourself fixes.
Even so, it often takes some sort of trigger event -- such as a merger, a relocation or a major phone system upgrade -- to spur companies toward looking into unified communications, says James Whitemore, executive vice president of sales and marketing at UC vendor Smoothstone IP Communications Inc., in Louisville, Ky., says
The Reinvestment Fund, an investment group based in Philadelphia, is one case in point.
Johnston says he's looking at doing a six-month phased-in approach that will take him into next year, with the engineering and sales departments getting access to the UC system first.
When done with that first implementation, he envisions a system that will allow his sales and engineering teams to use their smartphones and tablets to access their desktops' software systems, to handle web conferences, and to collaborate with each other via voice, video and shared documents through online sites that employees are already using such as LinkedIn and Dropbox.
"We plan on having complete collaboration using IM, email, voice and video platforms to integrate with our CRM, ERP, DCM and BI tools," Johnston elaborates. "We have been working on a [bring-your-own-device] policy and how that will fit into our UC solution. Dropbox and other social networking tools have to be evaluated and will definitely have some play into the final UC process," he says.

Firstly, I'm excited to announce that there's a major new release of DAS (1.3) available. 1.3 includes, among other things, some powerful tools to perform clickstream analysis through just a few simple steps, and makes visualization of user behavior a breeze. I wanted to give you a overview of these new tools, and provide some food for thought on how simple it is to extract meaningful insights into visitor behavior from raw web logs, a common use case for DAS and Hadoop.
The goal here is to be able to scrape raw log files from your Apache or IIS web servers and visualize something like this:
This new visualization in DAS, called the "Circular Connection Graph" tells us the relative density of one-hop clickpaths. It's an easy way to measure and visualize click-through rate (CTR) from various campaign landing pages, or to compare the popularity of referring web sites (i.e. marketing partners who drive traffic to your site). But this is just one small fish in the sea of weblogs (see what our customers say about the importance of behavioral analytics).
The real magic for Hadoop and DAS is that this data, when enriched with visitors profile or other interaction data (think: MySQL, Oracle, Teradata, Twitter), can give you fine-grained, visitor-level insights previously out of reach. Canned web traffic reports from a traditional application might only give you aggregated data; cloud-based analytics solutions might show you detail in the clickstream, but can't correlate that behavior with the transaction systems of record that track the rest of the customer lifecycle, namely: purchases, balance history, call center interactions or in-store visits. There's more about that here.
Let me show you a bit about what I mean. With standard web analytics packages, you can easily get answers to the basic questions of web behavior (including popular pages, session duration and clicks per session) with canned reports. These are straightforward aggregations (roll-ups) which are easily done in DAS, and much easier than in raw Hadoop, where you'd write Hive QL, Pig or MapReduce code.
Here's a few examples of those (click the images if you'd like a larger view).
Thanks to the game-changing economics of Hadoop, you can always afford to save every click. What does that mean?
1. Raw server logs can be fed into Hadoop, eliminating a separate ETL, modeling or pre-processing stage in the data pipeline. With DAS, this requires zero coding.
2. Using DAS, key elements of user behavior; not just session stats, but page dwell time and click paths preferred by specific users, can easily be extracted and sliced on any dimension. That provides insightful stats like what you see below. It could also mean dense visualizations like the one at the top of this post, which can serve up daily insights to the folks responsible for customer acquisition or marketeers managing campaigns.
DAS also gives you flexibility. First, it separates the wheat from the chaff. Filtering errors, image requests and page refreshes from the clickstream is simple. Second, DAS let's you divide-and-conquer the data pipeline. Data warehousing expertise can be applied to cleanse, enrich and pre-process the data (e.g. sessionizing traffic your own way, with any timeout), which can then be fed on a platter to the BI and marketing teams to create roll-ups, or to data scientists to look for clusters of visitors or develop predictive models. Finally, you can go wild and join this with anything you can throw at DAS: user profile, demographics, emails from your CRM, Twitter feeds, or last month's blog post. Sound like a fantasy? All you need is a handful of spreadsheets and an imagination. Click to zoom in on the screenshot below to get a taste. Or wait for the video I'll be posting soon.
This is clearly a rudimentary example of clickstream analytics, but it's a starting point that contains valuable nuggets of insight, and it's easy to extend. Most importantly, it makes this machine-generated data accessible. And that's what data science is all about.

Happy fishing!

Grand-jury probe raises new risks for Cardinal Mahony
Catholic World News - February 02, 2009
Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles, who has already weathered a criminal investigation and a series of civil lawsuits, could face new legal dangers in the grand-jury reported last week, because the federal prosecutor heading the new investigation has broader powers than the local officials previously involved, the Wall Street Journal notes. A spokesman for the Los Angeles archdiocese insists that the cardinal has no reason to fear the probe of his handling of sex-abuse cases, saying: "We have been unable to even hypothesize a crime that might have been committed in the handling of these problems."

Originally published in Guitar World, January 2010
For less than a grand on the street, the Haze 15 head with two matching MHZ112 cabinets offers big Marshall tones in a mini stack that you can haul around in a Smart car.
Most guitarists associate the name Marshall with 100- or 50-watt tube amplifier stacks, but the company has also produced some impressive low-watt heads and combos over the years that provide killer Marshall tone at lower volumes. Marshall currently offers faithful reproductions of two of its classic 18- and 20-watt beasts, but these amps are outrageously expensive and not entirely suited to the needs of players who want a versatile low-watt amp to gig with.
Marshall's new Haze Series amps are the latest addition to the company's low-watt legacy, but unlike Marshall's recent retro reissues, these products are new designs that follow the growing trend of affordable mini tube amps that provide outstanding tones and flexible features. The Haze Series consists of the 15-watt MHZ15 Haze 15 head with matching MHZ112 1x12 angled and straight cabinets and the 40-watt MHZ40C 1x12 combo. Both models feature channel switching and built-in digital effects, and they're loud enough to gig with, yet quiet enough for the studio or late night jamming. The Haze 15 with one or two MHZ112 cabinets is perfect for guitarists who love Marshall stack styling but don't want the cops to show up when they just can't resist the urge to turn it up to 11.
While the Haze 15 head's power rating, weight and low price are comparable to other mini tube heads on the market, the amp's chassis and matching 1x12 speaker cabinet are larger than most of competing products. As a result, guitarists shouldn't suffer any size anxiety like they would by using other undersized rigs onstage. The Haze 15's power section features a pair of 6V6 tubes that provide 15 watts of output, and three ECC83 (12AX7) tubes deliver more than ample gain. A Normal channel with a single volume control handles clean and overdrive tones, while an Overdrive channel with gain and volume controls lets you dial in varying levels of distortion and crunch. Both channels share a bright switch and a single set of traditional Marshall bass, middle and treble controls.
The Haze 15 distinguishes itself from most of its competitors by offering built-in digital effects. Two effects are available at once—reverb and echo/vibe/chorus. The reverb effect has a level control that clicks off at zero, which lets you completely bypass the effect if desired. The echo/ vibe/chorus effect has a push switch for selecting the desired effect, an Adjust control for dialing in delay time or vibe/chorus speed, and a depth control for tweaking vibe/chorus depth or delay level. The depth control also clicks off at zero to bypass the echo/vibe/chorus effect.
In addition, the Haze 15 ships with a footswitch controller that lets you switch channels and bypass or engage the effect section.
If you've had your eye on a mini tube amp but want authentic Marshall tone and styling, your wait is over. The Haze 15 delivers true Marshall tone, with that distinctive midrange bark and snarl, crushed safety-glass harmonic sparkle and low-end woof that have made the company's amps essential rock hardware. The Overdrive channel gets down and dirty in a hurry, and with the gain cranked all the way up the amp sounds mean and meaty, like a JCM800. The amp sounds a little dark and muddy at low-volume/ high-gain settings, but the tone becomes considerably more lively, clear and bright when the volume level is turned up and the 6V6 tubes push the power amp section into overdrive.
The Haze's Normal channel provides outstanding clean headroom, producing clear, bell-like tones that fall between those of a Fender Deluxe Reverb and Marshall's own underrated clean personality. Cranked up with the volume control set between three to five o'clock, gritty, "Plexi"-style overdrive emerges. The Normal channel pumps out an impressive amount of punchy, gut-thumping bass, aided by the closed-back MHZ112 cabinets' additional "breathing room."
The built-in effects add professional, studio-quality polish to the animalistic tendencies of the Haze's natural tube tones. The echo effect produces up to one second of delay, but the depth control stops just short of unity, so you can't quite generate syncopated Edge-style dotted eighthnotes effects. The vibe and chorus effects both sound nice and thick, perfect for playing Robin Trower or Police covers, while the reverb effect accurately emulates the sound of spring reverb, but it never gets washed out, overly boingy or drippy, like some spring reverb units can.
One useful feature of the effect section is that each channel automatically stores the last effect setting you dialed in, so you can switch from a lush clean tone with reverb and chorus to distortion with a tight slap-back echo and no reverb just by changing channels. If you prefer that classic bone-dry Marshall tone, it's better to turn both effects off than to bypass them, as the amp sounds a little louder, punchier and more gnarly with the effects entirely off.
For less than a grand on the street, the Haze 15 head with two matching MHZ112 cabinets offers big Marshall tones in a mini stack that you can haul around in a Smart car. If you've waited to take advantage of the miniamp trend but wanted true Marshall tone, the Haze is the clear winner.

Very cool if you're looking for a low wattage amp. Leave it to Marshall to do it with full stack style !!!!

A world without asthma is the ultimate vision of the Global Asthma Network, launched last week at the University of Auckland.
The network aims to improve care for people with asthma around the world. Its work will range from research into the causes of asthma to improving access to essential medicines.
As the most common cause of chronic illness in children worldwide – with 235 million sufferers around the world – asthma represents a major global challenge in health care and warrants recognition as an urgent target for action.
"The tools to treat asthma are already available," says Prof. Innes Asher from The University of Auckland. "And the obstacles to well-managed asthma can be overcome. Asthma is a public health problem that can – and should – be addressed now, and GAN will be dedicated to achieving that goal."
A United Nations high-level meeting on non-communicable diseases in September 2011 resulted in increased discussion about how to handle the growing incidence of NCDs worldwide, and in November 2012, member states met to develop a monitoring framework and some targets for action. However their main focus has been on diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.
A key goal for the creators of GAN is to lift the global recognition of asthma to a similar level, and strengthen the international framework for asthma management and research.
The new network, launched on 27 November, brings together two key players in the international fight against asthma: the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC), led from The University of Auckland, and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union), founded in France in 1920.
ISAAC is a worldwide asthma research project, the largest epidemiological study of children in the world, with more than two million children studied over 22 years in more than 300 centres in 105 countries.

Pure awesome.
"Allison, I told you to turn off your cell phone!"
"Shut up, Joe."
That is on a level with Kevin Spacey, while performing in a stage play, turning toward the direction of the ringing phone and yelling "tell them you're busy!"
"Tell your wife I'm not here!"
Charlie Ross, performing his wondrous "One Man Star Wars Trilogy", was interrupted by a cell phone. He stopped and said, "So, pretty important I guess?" but then tempered it generously by acknowledging that to prepare for this act he had spent countless hours staring at a video display.

Man on fire
Me too
I have to say my favorite 3 are...Glory, Training Day, and Man On Fire...awesome actor!
My favorite was not a movie - It was seeing him in August Wilson's "Fences."
Haven't seen one in quite some time, tho I'd probably say "Training Day."
Philadelphia. I know he had more of a supporting role, but he was fantastic. Awesome film
The Bone Collector!
Glory was good, actually I like them all, though the newest one out Flight was to dragged out. I just hope Denzel does not make one of those movies,just to make a buck, where there just using him to make a bad movie.
the book of Eli
I love Flight and Fallen. Two very different roles, but he's great in both of them.
I liked his acting in Mississippi Masala, low key and real
Finding nemo
deja vu
The Grammys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

text: Emergency personnel assist the victim injured in an accident Monday afternoon. Mike Weaver, age 23, was working on a vehicle near the east wall of the Intermountain Farmers store in Price when the mishap occurred. Weaver reportedly started the car and walked around the front of the vehicle. The car apparently slipped into gear, lurched forward and pinned the victim against the wall. By the time the ambulance crew members and emergency personnel arrived at the accident scene, the car had reportedly been pulled back from the wall and Weaver was lying on the hood of the vehicle. Emergency medical responders checked the victim's legs for injuries, then transported Weaver to Castleview Hospital for further examination.

Talk:Merope Gaunt
Back to page
this wiki
Hi - I removed a lot of information recently and I wanted to put a note here in case anyone thinks there's been a vandalism. There was a lot of information that pertained mainly to Marvolo Gaunt and his criminal acts and that really belongs in the entry about Marvolo Gaunt himself, rather than his daughter. I took it out, but added back information about the etymology of Merope's name.Mafalda Hopkirk 22:30, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Question - Could someone please remind me how Merope and Harry are related? It lists him as a distant cousin.Mafalda Hopkirk 22:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I have since learned about the black tree =D By the way, thanks CubsFan, for fixing that link, it confuses me sometimes the way that works. I can never remember if the link name goes before or after the bar. Mafalda Hopkirk 12:08, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Half-Blood Prince (film) appearance?
It says Merope was only mentioned as "Voldemort's mother", however only in a deleted scene. But I'm pretty sure she was mentioned another time (I don't even remember that deleted scene...), after Harry and Dumbledore watch the real Slughorn memory, they talk about Voldemort's Horcruxes. Dumbledore says, "... very dark, very powerful. But until tonight, I had no idea just how powerful." And then Harry says, "And the ring?", to which Dumbledore replies, "Belonged to Voldemort's mother." Was this scene deleted? Because it's in the movie on my DVD, and it would be a rather stupid move considering that's just about the ONLY scene where Horcruxes are really discussed.

Good Morning America, and Other Announcements
1.) The book is completely and totally and officially all done. It will be in stores this coming Tuesday, October 13. If you have pre-ordered from Amazon (and THANK YOU!!! for the pre-orders!) your book will be mailed that day.
2.) I am going to New York, and will be on Good Morning America on Tuesday, October 13. Set your DVRs, email your grandma, and tweet your peeps. I'm trying my hardest to not have an anxiety attack while on camera.
or on the plane.
My mom took me shopping for nice maternity clothes which actually fit, so I'm hoping I look pregnant and not just like a huge swollen blob.
3.) I got my hair done today. It's a bit darker than I've had in quite some time, and I really like it. The kids are weirded out. Adam likes it, but he says that no matter what. I'm quite pleased-- I think it looks fallish.
4.) You may have noticed my new super-awesome header with clickable tabs, thanks to the lovely and talented Jennette Fulda, of Make My Blog Pretty. If you are ever in need of any site design, tweaking, or hand-holding, Jennette is your girl. I can not possibly express how wonderful and responsive she is.
She is also the author of Half Assed, a hysterical weight-loss memoir I read on the plane the last time I went to New York. I was so thankful to have her book to keep my mind off of the turbulence.
I hate turbulence.
eek. Now I've freaked myself out again.
5.) I've gotten a few emails about an icky ad for cutting out belly fat that has been automatically attaching itself to the bottom of the emails that go out through feedburner. I had NO IDEA this was happening, and greatly appreciate the head's up. I've since contacted google and have asked to be opted out of certain campaigns, but it looks like it takes about 24 hours to process these types of requests.
I'm terribly sorry that this happened, and I hate it that anyone has been inadvertently offended.
6.) The $200 gift card give-away is still going strong over at Totally Together Reviews. If you haven't already entered, hop to it!
7.) I am ecstatic that the book is finally here. I've heard several authors liken writing and publishing a book to child birth. I have even joked with friends that sometimes it feels that way. But I've decided it's not the same. It's not even close.
At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is family. So. Hug your kids, call your parents, your grandparents, your sister, and your brother, and remember that all the day-to-day stuff doesn't matter. Family comes first.
and then go set your DVRs. ;-)
xoxo steph

Just watched you on GMA. You did great! Too bad you didn't have more time, but it is hard to get a long segment, especially when Uma Thurman is on :)
Wow, now you can say that Uma Thurman opened for you at an event! hehehe
And you did look pregnant, beautifully so, no 'big blob' at all! Good job.

So funny, I just flipped on GMA after dropping off kids at school. And there you were!!! I was so excited to see you again and you looked adorable:)
Then I had to come here and get the scoop. Will check today at Barnes and Noble for your book.

You did awesome! I wish they had let you talk more about your book... but, what is most important is you looked great and all that food made me hunry!
I was up all night at the ER with a flu'ish 6 month old, so I was getting big kids off to school an hour late. As we were getting ready to walk out the door you came on.... we had to watch. Everything you had prepared foodwise my big boys kept saying, 'Mom, have we made that? Ewe, have we had that yet? Do you KNOW her KNOW her? THAT is the crockpot lady!' You would have thought we were watching Miley Cyrus... but the crockpot version! ha
Congrats and I can not wait to go get the cookbook.... as soon as my flu-baby is better. :-)
Oh, and to celebrate, we are having Crockpot Asian Chicken for dinner tonight.

You did a fabulous job on GMA, Steph! And, not one dish, but four--way cool. Of course, I love that you cited being a gluten-free family and using certified gluten-free oats ... spreading celiac/gluten intolerance awareness, oh yeah! You looked awesome, too--hair color, hair length, hair volume and shine (LOL, but true), and your very pretty blue top. I'm sure your book is going to be a huge seller. Way to go!

So happy for you and I think I have an Amazon gift certificate left over from Christmas...guess what I'm buying with it?? New shoes. HA! No, I'm buying your book.
I read Jeanette's blog. She is really funny so I was all "Hey, I know who Jeanette is!" when I read your entry. AND, I live in Indiana too! Weird!
Good luck with the book mayhem and pregnancy stuff. And THANK YOU for the search function on your site. Now I don't have to scroll through all the recipes looking for the one I want!

I just watched GMA on the DVR and you were great! You looked gorgeous (LOVE the hair!) and you didn't seem nervous at all. I did tell my hubby that I was disappointed your segment was so short, and they seemed to be rushing you and not letting you talk! To echo the sentiments, it was like watching a good friend on TV!
I got the cookbook on Friday and sat on the couch while I went through the entire thing, page by page by page, all the way to the end. I am totally psyched and have been using my crock pot about 4 times a week, with many more nights to come! Thanks for doing such a great job!

Congratulations on the release of your book! I pre-ordered and was
just able to crack it open this morning. You've done a lovely job, it
is packed full of wonderful recipes that I am very excitted to have in
my hands. I have to say though that I was sad to see it set up
differently than the recipes on your web-site. Lacking the
ingredients pics and finished products pics. I realize that would
probably add a great deal in expense to producing the book, but it
really does enhance the desire to even try a recipe. So maybe it would
be possible to add those to your next book (you absolutely must do
another with all the fabulous ideas you continue to come up with). I
am however, very glad to still see the verdict section.....that is
also such a great help when choosing a meal to prepare. Thank you so
much for sharing your continued venture in slow cooking with all of

Wow I was really on the ball...I'd put your book in my "save for later" pile on Amazon and the other day I decided to bite and order it. Didn't even look at the release date. It came a couple days later and I've already made one dish and planning for several more. I love having my favorites from the blog in one neat and tidy spot and I LOVE that the "verdicts" are there as well. Great work!

I just discovered your blog while surfing the web, and I'm using my crock pot right now! I look forward to trying your recipes.
Generally, the extra liquid that doesn't evaporate makes my meals soupy. What's the best way to remedy this?
- October 25, 2009 at 3:20 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Eileen, most of my recipes don't make the food soupy unless it is supposed to be that way----like soup!
if you are using a family favorite, you can try taking the lid off near the end of cooking time to let the added moisture evaporate, or you can try propping the lid open during cooking to let steam escape.

US Army Reserve Presentation Calls Catholics, Evangelicals 'Extremists,' Conflates Militias with Drug Gangs
April 5, 2013 - 8:34 am
The Catholic Archdiocese for the Military Services is raising questions about an official US Army Reserve Equal Opportunity presentation on "Extremism and Extremist Organizations." Have a look at page 10 of the 33 page briefing.
The slide is about "neo-Nazi" and other militia groups. The photo in the corner, though, is a photo of members of MS-13, a notorious and violent gang engaged in the cross-border drug and human smuggling trade. The best that can be said about a photo of a gang accompanying material about militias, which tend to be insular and seldom engage in international drug operations, is that it's evidence of very sloppy scholarship.
But this particular presentation gets worse. Have a look at its loose definition of "supremacist" on page 7.
By that definition, every American who adheres to the Constitution, and every Christian who takes Jesus' words literally that He is "the way, the truth and the life," is a "supremacist." In fact, the definition is so loose that it ends up meaning nothing at all. If you believe any one thing is superior to all others — "Whitesnake is the best band ever!" — you're a "supremacist."
The US Army Reserve presentation on supremacy and extremism paints a vast number of American Christians and Jews as "religious extremists" on page 24.
The text accompanying this slide says that "Extremism is a complex phenomenon; it is defined as beliefs, attitudes, feelings, actions or strategies of a character far removed from the 'ordinary.'"
According to Pew Research, Christians make up 78.4% of the US. Evangelical Christians make up 26.3% of the US population. Catholics number 23.9%. Defining either as "far removed from 'ordinary'" seems to be out of the ordinary itself.

COVENTRY ŌĆö With the help of a grant from the Amgen Foundation, high school students will continue to get a hands-on experience in the ever growing field of biotechnology.
The University of Rhode Island (URI) was awarded the $94,000 grant to offer, for the sixth year, the Amgen-Bruce Wallace Biotechnology Lab Program at high schools throughout the state.
More than 5,000 students and 100 teachers in Rhode Island participate in the program, including Coventry High School.
NARRAGANSETT—Coastal zones throughout Narragansett Bay and along Rhode Island's southern coast boast a rich tapestry of plants and animals living together, sharing the successes and challenges of the underwater environment. Habitats for species such as scallops and groundfish rely upon protection from eelgrass, and a new study from the University of New Hampshire aims at augmenting the knowledge base of eelgrass restoration, already developed by organizations such as The Nature Conservancy and Save The Bay.
PAWTUCKET - A local initiative that encourages all Rhode Island school districts to promote a culture of healthy, locally-grown foods will be switching hands at month's end. Known as the Rhode Island Farm to School Project, the initiative will be taken over by Farm Fresh Rhode Island when the original coordinating organization, Kids First, closes on June 30.
PROVIDENCE—Governor Lincoln Chafee has signaled his disapproval of amendments proposed by the Senate Environment and Agriculture Committee which would make the Rhode Island Climate Change Commission (RICCC) an advisory arm of the Coastal Resources Management Council. Issuing a veto of H 7942 Substitute B, Chafee joins a number of local environmental groups in opposition to the changes which would harm RICCC's ability to produce research independently.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Crime in South Kingstown was down overall in 2011 from the previous year, according to the South Kingstown Police Department's 2011 annual report.
The recently released report outlines crime and accident statistics, which allows the department to identify crime trends in the community.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – The South Kingstown School Department released a response to a public records request regarding legal fees Tuesday afternoon.
The school department provided a summary of legal fees for the past 15 fiscal years.
NARRAGANSETT—A group of Narragansett residents have submitted a formal complaint to Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin's office regarding the Town Council's conduct in terminating then Town Manager Grady Miller's contract upon agreement of a separation pact. The 27-page report alleges violations of state open-meeting laws by Council members, as well as their neglect of residents' opposition to Miller's termination.

Deleting Tickets In Symantec Service desk 7.1 sp2
Created: 23 Oct 2012 | 5 comments
Hi guys,
I have a small problem we have inbound email monitoring on and now we have few tickets created which shouldn't be there. Is ther any way we can delete them of the database. Any SQL query.
Discussion Filed Under:
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Not sure if this is what you're looking for or not but this is the script we use to delete orphaned tickets but have used it elsewhere. You will need to enter the ticket number manually for each one:
-- The following SQL script changes orphan tickets to Closed. -- Before using, it is recommended to back up the Ensemble database before proceeding. USE ProcessManager --Note: Change the 'ReportProcessID' value to the processid (ticket number) you wish to close --For example, 'IM-001527' UPDATE [ProcessManager].[dbo].[ReportProcess] SET [Result] = 'Closed' WHERE ReportProcessID = 'IM-001527' UPDATE [ProcessManager].[dbo].[ServiceDeskIncidentManagement] SET [close_code] = 'Closed Orphan' WHERE Process_ID = 'IM-001527' UPDATE [ProcessManager].[dbo].[Task] SET [IsCompleted] = '1' WHERE WFTaskNumberPrefix = 'IM-001527'
Is there a reason that the tickets simply can't stay there and just be closed?
If the tickets you are trying to remove are still defined as EM processes & not IM processes you can use the following script below. This script was actually designed to remove a large number of EM tickets
DECLARE @Process_ID nvarchar(50),
@Session_ID nvarchar(36)
SET @Process_ID = 'XX-######' --Specific Process ID to be deleted.
SET @Session_ID = (SELECT SessionID FROM ReportProcess WHERE ReportProcessID = @Process_ID)
DELETE FROM ReportProcess WHERE SessionID = @Session_ID
DELETE FROM ReportProcessStatusHistory WHERE SessionID = @Session_ID
DELETE FROM Task WHERE SessionID = @Session_ID
DELETE FROM [Messages] WHERE MessageID = @Session_ID
Now if the e-mail has been converted into an actual IM ticket there will be some additional tables that will need to be cleaned up.
I had a similiar script for IM, but I'd have to try and find it again if necessary.

Re: La-La Land Records to release 4-disc DS9 soundtrack set!
Here is the Chattaway interview I was referring to.
I can't find any current scoring projects for you; have you retired from film/TV scoring?
I am currently scoring two series for director Joe Zito (
"Missing in Action"
"Red Scorpion"
, etc.). They are being produced in the Middle East.
I also am returning to my roots in record production and have recently composed and produced a holiday CD for the von Trapp Children, great grand children of Captain von Trapp (of Sound of Music fame). It is called SNOW and is quite lovely.
I also find it interesting when the questioner asks if he'd ever be interested in scoring another Star Trek series and he basically says no and something along the lines of it would be better for someone else to add to the language of space.
Here's the one for David Bell

"This is more positive recognition for our program," said fourth year co-head coach Hugh Hernesman. "We've had back-to-back record breaking seasons in terms of team success and with that comes the individual recognition."
"Keelie, Stacey and Ashley have all received their awards and we've had a lot to say about their seasons. They have certainly all played a huge role in the season we had, but I'm most excited to see Caiti get recognized as well," said Hernesman. "She basically carried us for the first half of the season and was our second leading point scorer. She provided us a strong presence on the right side that really allowed others to get their looks as well."
Along with All-Southland Conference honors, including Libero and Student Athlete of the Year and first team All-Conference for Arneson, the Tomball, Texas, native was also named All-Louisiana Libero of the Year and to the first team. DiFrancesco and Elrod garner second team honors, while O'Connell earned Honorable Mention.
Arneson, DiFrancesco and O'Connell all earned 2012 All-LSWA honors as well.
The Lady Demons recorded the program's most successful season as they finished 21-12 overall, 15-3 in Southland play, and earned a second place conference tournament seed, also a program high. Against Louisiana opponents, NSU went 8-0, facing Southeastern, New Orleans and McNeese twice each, and Louisiana Tech and Nicholls State once.
Arneson recorded a 5.70 digs per set average to rank fourth in the nation, as of Dec. 15, and lead the Southland. The 5'7 junior picked up a career-high 42 digs in the regular season finale at Stephen F. Austin, just one shy of making it into the NCAA record book. Arneson also earned All-Tournament team honors alongside Southland Freshman of the Year Elrod.
DiFrancesco also earned a repeat first-team All-Southland selection, noting seven double-doubles on the season. The Woodlands, Texas, native registered season-highs of 16 kills, twice, and dug up 20 attacks. Her 3,602 career attempts stand at third in the program and she ranks fourth in career kills with 1,070.
Elrod picked up second team All-Southland after leading the team with 14 double-doubles this year. She recorded season-highs of 19 kills, 21 digs and four total blocks, all against Stephen F. Austin.
O'Connell registered season bests of 17 kills, twice, 44 attempts, six service aces and 11 digs, while notching one double-double. The redshirt sophomore was seen on both sides of the pin this season while slapping the team's most aces in a single match all season in a five-set thriller over Louisiana Tech.
The Lady Demons return to the court in the spring for a series of exhibition matches.
