When Google pushes out Gmail 5.0, an update that will for sure include a full Material Design makeover, another accompanying feature may end up being the star of the show for many. How would you like to access your third party email accounts through the Gmail app? According to the Gmail 5.0 app that we just poked around inside, the app is going to support Yahoo, Outlook and "more" email services very soon. (more…)

Aviate Launcher Becomes "Yahoo Aviate," Receives Update and Goes Open to All
Aviate is alive and well, in case you were wondering. The third party launcher that was acquired by Yahoo at the beginning of the year, became open to all while receiving a new name and major update today, to show the world that Yahoo plans to keep the app around for the foreseeable future.
For those new to Aviate – which is officially called Yahoo Aviate going forward – this is indeed a third party launcher, but it's different than most in that it tries to provide you with smart setups to simplify your life. It automatically and "intelligently" organizes your phone by trying to give you the information you need when you need it most. It puts together apps by type, recommends other apps you might like, shows things like dinner tips when you are out, brings up music apps if you plug in headphones, and has all of your work stuff available when you arrive at the office.

News Aggregation App Yahoo News Digest Launches for Android
Ever feel overwhelmed by the day's endless flood of news? A number of services attempt to rank and aggregate the news by importance, but Yahoo thinks it can do them one better. Yahoo News Digest, previously exclusive to iOS, is launching today on Google Play for Android devices.
The app separates news by four locales: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, or International. It has a built-in article browser, but is really designed to operate unobtrusively in the background. Every morning at 8 a.m. and evening at 6 p.m., it'll deliver a summary of the top news, replete with "atoms" – related articles, maps, Wikipedia entries, etc. – that are intended to help you digest the news.

Yahoo Screen App Allows Users to Stream SNL, South Park, and Tosh.O

To celebrate the 16th birthday of Yahoo Mail, Yahoo is releasing new apps on Android, iOS, and desktop throughout the day. The new apps introduce user interface tweaks that utilize conversation views, similar to what you have probably been experiencing in Gmail for years. Conversations, as you know, group your ongoing mail chats so that you can see entire conversations in a single view. But that's not all. (more…)
Yahoo Weather App for Android Gets Overhauled, is Now Pretty Damn Beautiful
Yahoo Weather received an update this morning that turns the Android app into one of the more beautiful weather apps we have seen to date. The complete UI makeover pulls in location-based photos from Flickr, uses minimal text and images to present temperatures and forecasts, and even comes close to following most of Android's new design guidelines (side navigation menu). You can still add multiple locations, with each pulling in a big, beautiful photo to represent it. Plus, you'll see 10-day forecasts, chances of precipitation, wind and pressure, moon phases, UV patterns, sunrise and sunset, and more. Oh, there is a new lock screen widget as well, that maximizes as you swipe it down.
The app remains free. Bravo, Yahoo. (more…)

Lord, send us the people nobody else wants."
That was the bold prayer that set Grace Church, now a multi-site United Methodist congregation in Southwest Florida, on course for a future defined by outreach to "the least of these."
When Jorge Acevedo became pastor of Grace in 1996, the church was in a five-year decline. At its height, the church had reached 1,000 in attendance. By the time Jorge arrived, attendance had dropped by nearly 75 percent. The church was deep in debt, had unpaid bills, and was under scrutiny from the IRS for back payroll taxes.
Worse, from Jorge's perspective, the church's neighborhood had changed, but the church had not. Growth and health would come only with a commitment to outreach.
Grace Church's neighbors were indeed "the people nobody else wants"—addicts, prostitutes, and alcoholics. Outreach to the church's neighbors required a commitment to recovery ministry.
Discovery of Recovery
Today Grace Church operates one of the largest recovery ministries in America, with more than 800 people involved each week.
"For many pastors," Jorge explains, "their ministry passions come out of their own pain; and that's true for me." Jorge had experienced the pain that addiction brings, and he had witnessed it in the lives of his parents, sister, and brothers. "As a pastor, I see the wreckage in peoples' lives, and I know churches typically aren't safe places to talk about this stuff."
So Grace Church decided to do ministry in a way that incorporates the openness of recovery ministry.
But recovery was not always a part of the church's—or Acevedo's—vision for discipleship.
Jorge grew up with two parents who were functional alcoholics. They were good parents, he explains, but drinking and partying were ...

How Many Glasses of Champagne Did You Drink Last Night?

The day after Halloween I asked you how many pieces of candy you had eaten. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, I asked you how many pieces of pie you ate throughout that feasting day. So, in keeping with the tradition, there is a question I must ask: I want to know about your champagne consumption on New Year's Eve.

I am so impressed at the numbers. I do not drink, never have. I can't believe how many people were responsible and either had a glass or two or nothing at all. Personally, I went to bed at 10pm on NYE. I watched Wall-e and drank pepto bismal because i was nauseous and sick-feeling all day.

Lindstrom, White Sox exercising caution on injury
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Matt Lindstrom will throw a bullpen session Tuesday and could appear in a spring training game as early as this weekend if all goes well.
The 34-year-old righty has dealt with a mild left oblique strain since last Wednesday, and has been held out of action as a precaution. For a well-established reliever, there's little reason to try to push through the injury in early March.
"I've never dealt with this before," Lindstrom said. "That's why I kind of alerted them early, just I wouldn't injure it more extensively. I've heard stories from guys that've gone through it and stuff. Just wanted to make sure I was good, and I'm anticipating I will be."
Lindstrom's been working with trainer Herm Schneider, who's assured him the strain isn't close to serious. In Tuesday's bullpen session, Lindstrom hopes "get nasty" and make sure he can get downhill in his delivery without feeling any tweaks or pains.
[MORE: Jones ready to put injury in rearview mirror]
The White Sox may take the full four weeks between now and opening day to name a closer, with Lindstrom, Nate Jones and Daniel Webb competing for the ninth inning. But Jones came to camp with a strained gluteal muscle and Webb left the team last week to deal with a family issue.
So despite the missed time by all three players, nobody's fallen behind in the race.
"I'm planning on having a big year, and this is what I need to do to get ready," Lindstrom said. "I've worked hard all offseason, so something like this is just a roadblock that I don't think will be anything significant."

Unleash the Power of Wonder Women; Nearly 60 per Cent of All New University Graduates and about 80 per Cent of Students in Business Administration Are Women, but Is Gender Stereotyping and Prejudice in the Workplace Still Holding Women Back? at a Major Event in the West Midlands This Week, Business Reporter JENNY WADDINGTON Heard How "Girl Power" Could Be the Key to Success
Byline: JENNY WADDINGTON
UNLEASHING the full potential of women in the business world could help to bridge Coventry and Warwickshire's productivity gap, according to one of the region's leading enterprise figures.
Angela Maxwell, the former driving force behind cappuccino machine maker Fracino and now director of Acuwomen, made the rallying call after helping to stage a major European Commission event on breaking gender stereotypes.
She pointed to the simple fact that if women started businesses at the same rate as men we would see 15,000 more starts-ups each year.
And this could equate to more than 50,000 jobs and add billions to the local economy.
While the Advantage West Midlands Enterprise Board member admits that there is a general need for women to show more self-confidence, she is equally adamant that gender stereotyping, unequal pay and prejudice in the workplace has held females back in senior blue chip organisations, the public sector and when con-siderinbecoming their own boss.
"Coventry and Warwickshire have a fantastic opportunity to tackle this issue before any area in the UK and it is up to everyone in the region to get involved, from local authorities and business support services to multi-national businesses and our SMEs," explained Angela.
She continued: "In an era when competitiveness is absolutely crucial, it is unforgivable not to make the most of the talent readily available to us and to achieve this we need to combat gender stereotypes and strive for equality at all levels."
The three-day European Commission event - held at the Ikon Galley this week - attracted more than 50 delegates and provided a mix of keynote speeches and interactive seminars and workshops from expert trainers in the field.
It also provided a platform to announce latest statistics on women in business, with many companies unaware that nearly 60 per cent of all new university graduates and about 80 per cent of students in business administration are women.
Females are also in charge of over 70 per cent of purchasing decisions.
"I am delighted that the West Midlands attracted this major event, which is running concurrently across 27 different EU states," said Angela.
"This puts us ahead of the game and, through our ability to attract policy makers, business support professionals and companies, we have started a movement which will hopefully overcome the problems and provide a level playing field in terms of opportunity and salary. …

Get Ready For Chili & Firefighters & Chefs!
When I served as one of the judges for the Muscular Dysphoria Association's annual Firefighter Chili Cook-Off last year, it was so hot outside that we were sweating like we were in the tropics.
But things are back to normal, and it's so effing cold that today's the perfect day to chow down on chili.
What's awesome about this year's competition—in addition to the fact that I'll be in a room full of fine-ass firemen—is that 10 of them have teamed up with chefs from some of the hottest restaurants in town.

Think you're safe from the destruction, damage — and downtime! — that a ravaging tornado can leave in its wake? Think again.
You may be surprised to learn that the terrifying twisters have already been reported in 21 states so far this year. And if previous tornado seasons are any indication … well, unfortunately they show that there simply is no defined "season."
Consider 2012, when the first of 939 tornados was recorded on January 9 and the last on December 26 — proving no month was safe. And with twisters occurring in 46 out of 50 states last year, few locations are, either.
This year, as of April 25, there were already 175 confirmed cases of tornadoes in the U.S., including 32 in Tennessee; 18 in Alabama; and 15 each in Oklahoma, Mississippi and Louisiana. Other states that have fallen prey to the swirling cyclones include Kentucky, Missouri , Texas, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, California, Colorado, Indiana, Nebraska, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, New York, Virginia and Washington.
If your area hasn't experienced a tornado yet, it's likely that it will soon. Is your organization properly prepared?
In addition to deaths (70 last year) and property loss (estimated at $1.6 billion in 2012), tornadoes frequently produce massive power outages — and lots of them. The most important thing you can do to protect your business is to develop a solid power protection plan.
And even if tornadoes don't threaten your uptime this year, there are plenty of other culprits that will. Last year, more than 2,800 outages affected some 50 million people, according to Blackout Tracker Annual Report for 2012. From the huge, far-reaching power failures brought on by hurricanes, snow, and ice storms to the smaller, local disruptions that may have affected only one neighborhood, the annual report sheds new light on where, when and why the lights go out.

We had a "once in every 250 years"
Posted on Friday, April 04, 2014
We had a "once in every 250 years" tornado and microburst in New Haven, CT back in 1989. It leveled a whole street. They are now becoming a once in every 50 years event and soon will occur every 10-20 years. Get ready wherever you are in the lower 48 for the most severe weather nature has to offer.

Believe it or not WA State led the nation in tornado deaths (6) in 1972.

Living in Oklahoma it is a given. However I hate the month of May. Always the worst and when you have a Governor who would rather put money into her pocket than school shelters something is amiss

"They are now becoming a once in every 50 years event and soon will occur every 10-20 years."
And you have reasonable proof of this trend from where?
From statistical data (that actually shows the opposite).
Or maybe from you friendly neighborhood politician who is looking for any excuse to raise your taxes on the promise that he can somehow stop tornadoes while he goes off chuckling to give your hard-earned money to his super-rich masters.

Hundreds of eager graduates took advantage of the resources available at the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) stand to boost their chances of finding a job at Qatar Career Fair.
A steady stream of applicants expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to meet with a career counsellor who could help them understand their vocational interests. Ohoud Al Dossari explained that her visit to the QF stand had helped her to discover that she would like to manage her own business.
"I just spoke to the career counsellor and realised that I have a strong interest in opening my own business someday and becoming an entrepreneur. I currently work as a media researcher, but this counselling session helped me plan ahead and understand that I can still do my job while seeking further opportunities to grow," said Ohoud, 30, who has a bachelor's degree in media studies from Qatar University.
Job seekers also received plenty of useful information about how to answer tough interview questions, plan their career, write a winning CV and learn about the many educational and professional programmes at QF. Participants who were uncertain about their career paths took a psychometric test so they could reassess their future.
"We are very pleased with the high level of interest and proactive approach shown by Qatari youth at this year's Qatar Career Fair. They have shown a genuine desire for self-improvement and that is something that we always encourage," said Ghanim Al Naimi, Director of Talent Sourcing and Development at QF. "Our commitment to training and hiring capable Qatari nationals continues to grow year-on-year as QF's rate of Qatarisation is of utmost importance to us."
Many graduates came to the exhibition for the sole purpose of furthering their academic education by applying for scholarships and financial support.
"I heard that QF has a programme to help Qataris progress in their career, so I came here today to find out about getting sponsored to complete my master's degree. I already have offers from a few universities and I am hopeful that I will be able to complete my graduate studies in September. I would like to do my master's in International Business Management," said Mohammed Derah, 28, who is currently completing a Bachelor's degree in business administration from a university in the UK.
One of QF's key mandates is to provide the nation's youth with training to help kick-start their careers.
Abdullah Al Emadi, a graduate trainee in the education division at QF, was happy to share his experience with other job seekers. He completed an undergraduate degree in graphic design at Virginia
Commonwealth University in Qatar before joining the trainee programme – an initiative he highly recommends.
"There are countless opportunities for development at QF, which is the key to a rewarding career. There are also numerous conferences and workshops to attend that are all aimed at helping us gain a depth of knowledge in our field," he said.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - DJ LeMahieu had two hits, including a go-ahead RBI single, Jeff Francis pitched five effective innings, and the Colorado Rockies held off the Arizona Diamondbacks, 2-1, in the season finale for both teams at Chase Field.
Francis (6-7) allowed just one run on five hits and struck out three while walking one to earn the victory.
Matt Belisle retired the final batter in the ninth to strand the tying run at third and pick up his third save of the year for Colorado (64-98), which finished the season by taking two of three from Arizona.
"I think that is a tremendous way for us to end our season, when you consider in relationship to our young players, for three days in a row to have them go out there and perform against this ball club, in a manner in which they did," said Rockies manager Jim Tracy.
"I just think it was tremendous, and it typifies what they have done all year long: Go out there and play the game as hard as they can play it, with all the effort and energy that they can put forth, and what else can a manager ask."
Ian Kennedy (15-12) pitched well in defeat, giving up two unearned runs on six hits with eight strikeouts and no walks over seven strong frames.
"This whole series has been really exciting, whether you're winning or losing, both teams, it's tough," said Kennedy. "We didn't have anything to play for, but the last three games, we gave the fans something to stay and cheer for. It was a tough loss, but I thought we fought hard all the way to the end and made it an exciting game."
Justin Upton had three hits and also stole a base, while A.J. Pollock hit a home run for the D'backs (81-81), who lost three of their last four to end the season.
The D'backs jumped out to a lead in the third when Pollock lifted a 3-1 fastball from Francis into the seats in left field to go up 1-0.
Colorado came back in the fourth, however, taking advantage of a few Arizona miscues.
Kennedy hit Charlie Blackmon with a pitch and Jordan Pacheco singled to put runners at first and second with no outs. Blackmon then scored when Chris Johnson's throw to first on a Wilin Rosario grounder was off target.
LeMahieu's RBI single later in the frame made it a 2-1 game.
Arizona had one last opportunity to tie the game in the ninth after reliever Rex Brothers hit Gerardo Parra with a pitch before walking Pollock to put runners on the corners with two outs.
The Rockies called on Belisle to face Aaron Hill, whose two-run ninth-inning home run in Tuesday's contest propelled the Diamondbacks to a 5-3 win.
But Hill failed to deliver this time around and lined out to left and Colorado held on for one final victory to end the disappointing year.
With a win against the Cubs Sept. 28, Kennedy became just the fourth Arizona
pitcher in franchise history to record back-to-back 15-win seasons, joining
Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling and Brandon Webb ... Hill's 184 hits this year
are fifth-most in single-season Arizona franchise history behind Matt
Williams' 190 in 1999 and Luis Gonzalez's 192 in 1999, 198 in 2000 and 206 in
2001 ... The Rockies finished the season with just a 28-44 record against the
NL West ... Colorado's Andrew Brown was ejected in the eighth inning after
striking out to end the frame with runners on first and second ... Colorado
won 14 series this year.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

Gunmen kill three in Northern NigeriaComment on this story
Kano -
Gunmen have shot dead three people in restive northern Nigeria's Yobe State in the latest deadly attacks to hit the region, police said on Tuesday.
The incident happened late Monday in the Dogon-Zare area of Potiskum, the commercial centre of the state.
The assailants stormed the residence of the three men who were believed to be Christian traders from southern Nigeria. Residents said they had lived in Potiskum for many years
"Three people living in a house were killed last night by yet-to-be identified gunmen. The gunmen broke into the house and shot the three men dead," police area commander Nura Sabo told AFP.
He said no arrests had been made. But the killings appeared to have the hallmark of the Islamist group Boko Haram.
The sect has been blamed for scores of attacks, particularly in the country's mainly Muslim north, that have claimed more than 1,000 lives since mid-2009. - Sapa-AFP

With the President having just declared a major disaster in the State of Georgia as a result of severe storms and flooding, Vice President Joe Biden visited the state today to comfort local residents and survey affected areas.
"Communities like yours may have lost a lot of the physical structure, but it looks to me you've kept a lot of the grit and determination," the Vice President said at a news conference in Marietta, Ga., an Atlanta suburb. The Vice President also promised relief to the area: "We're going to have people come see you," he said. "This is not going to happen overnight. This is not going to happen tomorrow, but it's going to happen."

There are only three reviews, one is a 7/10 according to this article, one is a 4.5/10, and another is a 92/100 by the "Official Nintendo Magazine." I'm going to believe an official Nintendo magazine as much as I'm going to believe an official Xbox magazine or official Playstation magazine. Also, 7/10 is indeed a good rating, except for the fact that the review industry no longer has a good review system going on. A 7/10 by review standards now is more like a 5/10 by someone who actually uses the full scale, which in itself is just below average(2.5/5 instead of 3/5.) A 9/10 can sometimes actually be a 9/10, but it rarely deserves a 9/10 and more than likely deserves a 7/10 or 8/10. Everyone bashes Jim Sterling for his reviews, but if you think about it, he's not doing anything more than using the entire scale rather than the artificial 7/10-10/10 being the only good games scale that other reviewers do. He's bashed some games I like as well, but he's pretty spot on most games. He actually doesn't bash on all games believe it or not. #2.3.1 Agree(10) | Disagree(7) | Report PopRocks359 + 1104d ago @kupomogli The problem I have with Sterling is that he applies a lot of his own personal preferences to the review and in doing so writes misleading information. For example, he stated that Mario Kart 7 was too much like the games before it. I'm convinced he only wrote this because he generally does not like the Mario Kart franchise. Mario Kart 7 brought back the coin system, kart customization, underwater and sky segments and finally they completely and efficiently retooled online play and made it better than both Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii. Sterling failed to acknowledge any of this in his review and mostly just spewed on about how he didn't like the formula he was already uncomfortable with. Then of course later on he gave Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 a near perfect score. I'm not saying he cannot have those opinions, but those opinions and the justifications behind them are why I choose to ignore his reviews. He does not represent me and his tastes are far different from my own. I also believe he writes certain reviews for the sake of getting attention which does not sit well with me. #2.3.2 Agree(3) | Disagree(3) | Report Samus HD + 1104d ago 5 is average in Movies.. for games 7 is like average Just see the game reviews.. there are few games below 5 #2.3.3 Agree(5) | Disagree(1) | Report guitarded77 + 1104d ago I'm not saying it's good or bad until I play it in about 14 hours, but I rarely agree with GameSpot's reviews, so I'm not too worried. #2.4 Agree(11) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply EPIKgamer + 1104d ago Im sorry but anyone who take a gamespot review seriously I can not take seriously, one does not simple give Kinect Star Wars and Kinect Adventures the same score as SKyward Sword and still be considered a reputable place for reviews, EDGE however is a real hardass when it come to reviews, so their 7/10 are more like 8/10. #2.5 Agree(13) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply wastedcells + 1104d ago My decision to keep my wii u or sell it all rides on zombie u. Must say most of me wants to keep it because I love gaming but part of me knew I would have to sell it. A 2D Mario isn't enough for me to justify having another console sit there collecting dust.

2004 Volkswagen Passat • 6 cylinder AWD Automatic • 132,000 miles
Whenever I insert a CD into my CD player in my 2004 VW Passat, the CD player spits the CD back out and displays an error message.

You can try a laser cleaning disc but I've never had much luck with them. Use the type that you add a drop of cleaning chemical to the tiny brushes. If it has to be removed for repair, let the dealer do it so they are responsible for all of the problems that will follow. Volkswagen is extremely customer unfriendly in this area and along with GM has figured out how to separate you from your money after the sale. If you don't know the secret code for your radio, it will never play again once it is unplugged or the battery is disconnected. Not sure how that design benefits the owner but it sure makes the manufacturer a lot of money.

Hi all,
I dont know where to post this question but I have been thinking of learning C# and .Net for a while and I thought the best way to do it would be to get MCTS (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist) certification for web applications. I am a SCWCD and have been writing applications in
for a while... I have read many comparisons in C# and Java in articles and I want to compare it myself for once. Do you think its a bad idea to get Microsoft certifications? Is it better to be an expert in one language than good in both languages?
Any comments are appreciated.
S Hasan.

First, before someone else ends up saying it to you, you might want to take a gander at the
naming requirements
Funny you should mention the MCTS exam.
I just passed 70-536 (.Net 2.0 Application Development) this afternoon, and am in the process of preparing for 70-528 (Web Client for .Net 2.0), so I might have a different perspective on this than a lot of folks here.
Personally, I think there's nothing wrong with being certified in multiple languages/technologies. (I'm learning C# because I got tasked with a project involving SharePoint and web parts. Joy of joys. We're otherwise a Java shop.) C# and Java are remarkably similar in many respects, though there are significant differences to factor in as well (interoperability with COM, reflection, code security, etc.), and I found the learning curve between the two to be reasonable in a short period of time.
Now, I don't know that MCTS is the greatest way to learn C# - if you go this route, make sure to do quite a bit of actual coding to reinforce what you're studying - but it's certainly one way to go about it...

I have seen ~4 ft prints from 4x5 pinhole, taken on acros. They certainly looked credible to my eye. Scott (Flying Camera) may recall who that was, hit was a photographer had a small show in DC. Federal scenes, as I recall. N.b. the final prints were not analogue and I was too polite if they were digitally sharpened, but they looked undoctored and quite effective.
Anyway, roughly speaking, at enlargements bigger than ~1:1 (contact print), the lack of detail will become evident. But that doesn't mean that the image falls apart.... if the method is suited to the subject, you can go much larger.

Now that Naughty Dog has wrapped up "Left Behind," the first (and only) single-player DLC for The Last of Us, the studio is considering new game ideas.
"We have started brainstorming some stuff. To be honest, some of them are sequel ideas, and some of them are brand new IP - we've spent the last few weeks brainstorming new IP," Neil Druckmann, creative director of The Last of Us, told Eurogamer. "So we have to get some good steps and see... It's kind of like how we approached Left Behind. Can we tell people a story that's really worth telling, and that's not repeating itself? And if we can't, where can we get inspired - what is something that's really going to challenge us, and push storytelling in this medium forward?"
Druckmann's statements imply Naughty Dog is leaning more towards cultivating new ideas than pursuing a sequel to The Last of Us. Naughty Dog already has one confirmed sequel in development: the Santa Monica studio is working on a new Uncharted game for PS4.
"Left Behind," a prequel chapter to The Last of Us campaign, is set to be released on Valentine's Day, February 14, for $14.99. The supplemental story follows Ellie and her best friend, Riley, who are both stuck in a military boarding school in the Boston quarantine zone.

The Eden Project is implementing an automated timekeeping system to improve operational efficiency and make staff planning and scheduling more accurate.
The Cornwall-based educational charity, which houses plants in two vast greenhouses, will go live with the Workforce Central suite from Kronos in June.
The system will manage 500 Eden staff who will indicate their presence using biometric badge terminals and their fingerprints.
A bespoke payroll interface will link data from the new system with the charity's payroll system, while a customised interface will send employee data from Eden's human resources system to the Kronos software. An employee self-service web page will allow staff to access their own data at kiosks.
'The main business driver is the time it takes to deal with payroll,' said project manager John Lees. 'Under the old system it takes two people three days each week to manually input all the data from timesheets that are filled in by supervisors.'
By reducing manual processes and payroll queries, staff in the finance department will be able to work on more pressing tasks, says Lees.
'Economising the time it takes to input data manually is the big driver, but it will help with things such as staff planning and will be combined with access controls,' he said.
Lees says any resistance to staff using their fingerprints to clock-on has been overcome.
'When we explained that it was not a question of fingerprints being used to share information or about Big Brother, but about using biometrics for system verification, they understood fully,' he said.

Hi Mark!
Could you perhaps post a screenshot of your ProxyHA settings to see if we can get things working?
What are the strange problems you are noticing? If the two directors are aware of each other, the one with the higher priority (or started first if they have equal priority) will take over the virtual IP. Is the virtual IP pingable?
2. Re: Web gateway high availabilitymark.theeuwes Jan 11, 2013 2:42 AM (in response to Jon Scholten)
Our test setup looks like this:
xxx.xxx.xxx.40 = vrrp virtal IP 1 (director 1 with scanner 1 standby)
xxx.xxx.xxx.41 = director 1
xxx.xxx.xxx.42 = scanner 1 / standby director 1
xxx.xxx.xxx.43 = director 2
xxx.xxx.xxx.44 = scanner 2 / standby director 2
xxx.xxx.xxx.45 = vrrp virtual IP 2 (director 1 with scanner 2 standby
Console output director 1

For load distribution we want to directors in the same firewall DMZ subnet. If possible it would be nice if they would fall under the same central management (for automatic policy distribution) but this is not required.
Kind regards,

3. Re: Web gateway high availabilityJon Scholten Jan 11, 2013 1:42 PM (in response to mark.theeuwes)
Hi Mark!
Yeah, your settings arent what I'd want for what you described.
More or less, what you want is two HA clusters (three per HA cluster), and one centrally managed cluster (for policy settings).
1. You have changed the "Central Managment" settings which is not something you want/need to do. Please revert back to defaults 'all' for each 'group' value. Then you can join all the nodes together (to sync policy).
2. Then you need to configure is the "Proxies" settings AND a command line parameter.
Under the settings you have proxy port 9090 and 81 defined, you MUST have each of these defined as Proxy ports otherwise the virtual IP will not work, and you will get a CONFLICT (I think). Please send a screenshot of your proxy ports.
3. To distinguish between cluster 1 and cluster 2 please check out: https://community.mcafee.com/message/225129
Let me know if this helps.
4. Re: Web gateway high availabilitymark.theeuwes Jan 14, 2013 10:10 AM (in response to Jon Scholten)
Adding the MFEND_LBID values in the mfend config file and reverting back to the origional settings under Central Management resolved the conflict after rebooting all the test appliances.
The proxy settings seem correct now (all virtual IP's are working) See below.
I still need to acomplish to add both HA cluster under the same central management.
Can I just add all systems under central management or do I need to change some settings in the central management config page ?
Is there any extra documentation available regarding what all the different central management options normaly are used for ?
Kind regards,
Mark Theeuwes
5. Re: Web gateway high availabilityJon Scholten Jan 14, 2013 12:21 PM (in response to mark.theeuwes)
Greetings Mark,
Glad to hear the resolved most of the problems. So at the moment each virtual IP is pingable?
As far as joining all of the nodes into one managed cluster, all you need to do is click the 'Add' button under the Configuration tab. There is no need to change any other configuration. Only click 'Add' then type the IP of the node in question.
The Central Management happens over port 12346, so you must make sure that, that port is open between the nodes (and you havent goofed the port configuration on each node).
As far as documentation on the different central managment options you can check out page 303 of the product guide (https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=PD24047). But honestly there isnt much you need to configure unless the clusters were in different locations and you needed the respective clusters to get the updates in a special fashion.
I would suggest reviewing the section on the types of groups (network, update, runtime).

For the better part of a decade, Shreveporter Betty Roberson has searched for four sisters who were ripped from her life in the late 1950s when their parents put them up for adoption.
Now that quest may be ending, after a recent front-page story in The Times caught the eye of a Ruston nurse taking a break.
"When I first read the article, I thought 'This is my life that I've always known; this is what I remember,'" that nurse, Patti Ann Hough Wall, said Monday. "All I ever had to go on was my birth date, Feb. 12, 1957. I started reading it, and when I read about them finding other sisters and one was living in ...

Bangkok Haunts
by John Burdett
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is the third in the series, and I liked the first two better—maybe it was the snuff film aspect that made me like it less. Nonetheless, the constant blurring of Buddhism against prostitution and police and military corruption makes them all interesting. One thing thats bothered me, as an editor, in this series is that every book has at least one (to me glaring) error in a detail about a character. Nonetheless, I'm enjoying the series.

I have read the first 2 books in this series and loved them. They were odd, violent and non-pc. But they were also fun, and interesting, a raw look at the inside of Thailand.
This book is really rather putrid in that there is a strong authorial sense of women hatred and blaming. There is some nasty characterization of all 'western women' and then extending that to the downfall of modern society. The implication being that subservient, down-trodden, exploited sex worker eastern women are really the way to be. If you are smart enough you can manipulate yourself into a better position, but never, never challenge a man, or pretend to be his equal.
It comes across as a bitter, drunken diatribe by the author pushing whatever his problems are onto the western women in his life and all western women in general. It also overwhelms the story and makes you feel dirty while you are reading.
Bailing out of this one. The ick factor is way too high for me.
A great read, though perhaps a little longer than it needed to be. As usual, lots of gender bending, Buddhist mysticism, Thai and Khmer superstition, corruption, prostitution, pornography, etc., but with a great haunted twist at the end (which some may find a bit too much, but I bought into it). I think this third novel in the series was better than the third, about as good as the first.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307263185, Hardcover)Sonchai Jitpleecheep—the devout Buddhist Royal Thai Police detective who led us through the best sellers Bangkok 8 and Bangkok Tattoo—returns in this blistering new novel.
Sonchai has seen virtually everything on his beat in Bangkok's District 8, but nothing like the video he's just been sent anonymously: "Few crimes make us fear for the evolution of our species. I am watching one right now."
He's watching a snuff film. And the person dying before his disbelieving eyes is Damrong—a woman he once loved obsessively and, now it becomes clear, endlessly. And there is something more: something at the end of the film that leaves Sonchai both figuratively and literally haunted.
While his investigation will lead him through the office of the ever-scheming police captain, Vikorn ("Don't spoil a great case with too much perfectionism," he advises Sonchai); in and out of the influence of a perhaps psychotic wandering monk; and eventually into the gilded rooms of the most exclusive men's club in Bangkok (whose members will do anything to protect their identities, and to explore their most secret fantasies), it also leads him to his own simple bedroom where he sleeps next to his pregnant wife while his dreams deliver him up to Damrong . . .
Ferociously smart and funny, furiously fast-paced, and laced through with an erotic ghost story that gives a new dark twist to the life of our hero, Bangkok Haunts does exactly that from first page to last.

Just when he thinks he's seen everything Bangkok's thriving criminal world has to offer, Royal Thai police detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep receives an unpleasant surprise--an anonymous snuff film. A woman named Damrong--someone he once loved and who still haunts his memories--is murdered in the film. Obsessed with Damrong's death, Sonchai braves street gangs, investigates a shady and exclusive men's club, and staves off threats, seen and unseen, as he pieces together the scattered clues.… (more)

The first busloads of evacuees from two coastal counties were en route to Central Texas Wednesday afternoon.
Under the state's evacuation shelter plan, McLennan County is the designated shelter county for residents of San Patricio County and Bell County is the designated shelter county for residents of Brazoria County.
The Waco-McLennan County Office of Emergency Management set up a reception center Wednesday at the Church of the Open Door at 900 North Loop 340 in Bellmead, where the first bus carrying evacuees is expected to arrive around 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Once needs have been assessed, the evacuees will be directed to shelters in the area.
Evacuees from Brazoria County are expected to arrive at the Bell County Expo Center around 3 p.m. Wednesday.
Ike was still a Category 1 Hurricane early Wednesday afternoon, but the storm was growing in size and strength as it moved slowly over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
It's expected to make landfall late Friday or early Saturday and could begin to produce severe weather in Central Texas by Saturday evening.
Authorities have lined up nearly 1,000 buses in case they're needed to help move many poor and elderly people who don't have vehicles.
The Department of Public Safety in Corpus Christi says an evacuation lane is open along the shoulder of northbound Interstate 37.
The Dallas-Fort Worth area is prepared to shelter up to 20,000 evacuees, using the Dallas convention center as the main site.
