Summary: The Scripting Wife provides tips and hints for the 2012 Scripting Games Beginner Event 6.
These past couple of days, Ed has been tied up, so I have free reign of the house. This means I have a lot of projects I want to complete. For some reason, when he is around, it seems like he often gets under foot–a situation especially problematic when I have a detailed game plan. Anyway, this means that I am up early so I can maximize my time. I completed Beginner Event 6, and I want to provide you with some good hints.
First of all, this is the most difficult event (at least for me) so far of the 2012 Scripting Games (on the beginner track). This means that you should take your time, and it also means that you will probably need to do some research before you write your script.
The first thing I needed to do was to find what property would tell me when the server would boot. I used the Get-WMIObject cmdlet and piped the results from the WMI class the boss told me to use to Get-Member. It did not take very long at all to find the property I needed. I then needed to change the format of that date value.
One of the things you will need to know is how to convert a WMI date into something more usable. I looked at all of the blogs about dates listed in the 2012 Scripting Games Study Guide, and I did not really find what I was wanted. But I then did a search (by using the Search This Blog feature on the Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog), and I was able to find exactly the information that I needed. The exact search words I used were wmi date, and it returned several hits. The one I needed was called Manipulating Dates Returned by Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
The next thing I had to look up was was how to compute the amount of time between two dates. I found this information in the Date section of the 2011 Scripting Games Study Guide...come to find out, it was a Scripting Wife blog! Oh yeah, I remember that now.
The last part, formatting the output, required me to mess around with substituting values for parameters. This can get a little tricky, but there are lots of ways to get the same result.
Hope this helps. Remember, you have until 12:01 AM on April 16, 2012 (-8 Pacific time) (or basically midnight on the night of April 15, 2012) to submit your entry. This one would definitely be a good one to set aside and come back to later. Good luck, and happy scripting.
~Scripting Wife
I found this one really difficult too. Found the objects I needed pretty easily and also found a scriptmethod that sounded like just what I needed but had no idea how to use it!
Read your post and half an hour later I have a working script put together and it looks great!
Thanks for the advice @scriptingwife!
@Mr Killian
The whole purpose of me entering the games is to encourage others to try their hand at scripting. PowerShell is such an awesome tool and I get so excited to see someone embrace it. Thanks for letting me know I helped. Good luck.
It's funny. I just read how to do this in Don Jones' "Learn Windows Powershell in a Month of Lunches"

The junior wins two individual events and is part of two first-place relays for the Blue Devils, who finish second to Brighton. Canandaigua's Nicholas Ringhoff breaks a Class B record in the 100 butterfly.
Jeffrey Williamson had high expectations entering the postseason.
The Victor junior was the best swimmer in Section 5 during the regular season, and was hoping to use the Class B championship meet as a springboard to four spots in next month's state finals. Williamson made sure everyone leaving the Webster Aquatic Center knew who was not only the best swimmer in Class B, but the best in the area.
He dominated the 50 and 100 freestyles and was part of two winning relay teams to earn swimmer of the meet honors for the Blue Devils, who finished scored 356 points to finish second to Brighton in the team scoring.
"I felt strong in the water, and I was pleased with how I did," Williamson said. "I love helping the team. I was happy with our 400 free relay, and I am glad we were able to get back to states."
He narrowly missed the Class B record in the 50 free despite winning by one second. Williamson then earned the Class B meet record in the 100 free (46.26).
He culminated his outstanding evening by teaming with Chappell, Luke Shanahan and Brian Shanahan to break the Class B meet record in the 400 free relay finishing in 3:16.67.
"It was nice, because we had some guys who haven't been to states," said Williamson, who qualified for states in all four events.
Canandaigua senior Nicholas Ringhoff also broke a Class B meet record swimming a 51.99 to win the 100 butterfly.
Ringhoff knew he was going to have to battle Chappell for the fly title, but a 23.81 opening 50 gave him nearly a second lead. He then swam over a second faster than the rest of the field over the final 50 for an easy victory.
"I visualized my race 15 times between Wednesday and today," Ringhoff said. "I knew the competition was going to be tough. I was really psyched. My teammates were great and they really helped me out."
The Brighton 400 free relay of James Premo, Owen Karl, Sam Devine and Will Ronchetti closed out the meet by finishing third in the relay to capture the Section 5 title, their second straight Class B title and third in the four years.
"I think that relay epitomized who we were as a team," Vick said. "We didn't necessarily have that number one guy but we had a team spirit that drove us throughout the meet. Those four guys worked hard all year and they got the job done."
Trailing by 16 points entering the 500 free, Karl gave the Barons their only champion when he won by over five seconds. Three Brighton athletes finished in the top six and the Barons took a 22-point lead.
Ben Chappell's win in the backstroke put the Blue Devils back up 301-299 but Brighton's depth in the breaststroke sewed up their victory.
Page 2 of 2 - Lead by senior Robert Marvald (third), with help from David Carmel (eighth) and Sam Horowitz (10th) Brighton outscored Victor 34-15 in the event to build a cushion going into the 400 free relay.
"A sectional win definitely outweighs everything else," Karl said. "The Fab Four Invitational, dual meets, individual titles, none of that matters compared to a sectional win. It's really great to have that two years in a row."
Honeoye Falls-Lima head coach Norm Schueckler was named Class B coach of the year, while Charlotte senior Christopher Leonard won the Donna Mooney Memorial Award.

Hi! I hope your having a good day. Thank you for looking at my profile. This profile has been changed from the original. Looking for a woman to be with me and my girlfriend (love2lap). My girlfriend likes movies, games, puzzles, writing, and reading. Her favorites include but not limited to science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, literary fiction, thrillers, action and adventures, and spy thrillers. She is a very caring person and highly intelligent with a great sense of humor. She is polyamorous. Friendship to start and later possibly more. I prefer the woman to be very easy going. Being easy going is important to me. Not looking for someone perfect. The rest of this profile is mostly what I had written before meeting my girlfriend. Extra weight to very large is fine. Big hips and butt are a turn on for me, but not necessary. Thin to heavy is fine. Prefer someone who is at least somewhat sensuous/sexy. Personality is much more important than physical appearance. Prefer someone that has a sense of humor and loves to laugh. I have a few extra pounds but not very heavy. Look a bit younger than my age. Some people think I am a lot younger than my age indicates. Also, physically strong, but can not lift a car over my head unless it is a toy car. My likes include mathematics, science, history, politics, current events, the stock market, humor, science fiction, fantasy, comedy, movies, music, weight lifting, tennis, and ping pong. Not an expert in any of these areas. I really like to make people laugh. People consider me a caring person. Sometimes I can be a bit shy or outgoing depending on the situation. Not into extreme danger/thrills such as jumping out of an airplane or a car zipping down the highway. I have pet turtles. One has been with me since 1992. The picture of me with the red shirt was taken in June 2012. The picture of me in the suit was taken in February 2015. I don't have any photos of me in the future.

|It was a weird problem.
A photo which didn't show on the actual page, but was included in the code was somehow the problem. All the photos seemed to be in the correct place on the page, looking at the code.
When I deleted that mysterious photo which didn't show and didn't had a place on the page anyway all the other photos once again appeared on in the right spots.
Thanks again for letting me know about this problem.

WDS and DomainsPhilM Oct 21, 2013 10:33 AM
This may turn out to be an entirely different question (domain related) but I shall endeavour to explain the situation.
As a UK-based resller we have been required to dip our toes into the world of McAfee SaaS (having previosly worked almost exclusively with Firewall Enterprise, Web Gateway, Mail Gateway and EWS appliance solutions).
I've been tasked with looking at SaaS Email and a colleague has been given the SaaS Web product to work with.
Because my requirement came first, I created the SaaS portal account and registered the SaaS EMail and Web licenses against it. I then went ahead an configured the Email component. As I am using a lab enviroment with one of our test/demo domain names registered to the Exchange server, this was the domain I declared when going through the process of setting up SaaS Email. From that perspective everything seems to be going OK.
However, the reason why I am posting this query is the Web section is because it is the web-side that is proving slightly more problematic and I'm beginning to wonder if things may be getting themselves into a bit of a knot as a result.
For the sake of explanation, the registered primary domain against this SaaS account is reseller-demo.co.uk (it isn't, but that's what I'm going with here).
As far as web access is concerned, if the SaaS web access policy is defined by IP address (using our public NAT address) and my colleague configures a browser to point directly to SaaS on port 3128 that works OK. However, the scenario he needs to test for the prospective customer requires WDS. He has installed the WDS element on the network and it appears to be running. But, if he tries to browse via this service all he gets back is a message along the lines of:-
Authentication Required
You must be authenticated to access this URL
What we are beginning to wonder is if this actually has anything to do with the fact that the Active Directory domain on our network isn't "reseller-demo.co.uk" (which is a domain used purely for e-mail), but "reseller.internal" (to use a similar comparison).
Could the problem therefore be that WDS is authenticating the user correctly, but the domain credentials bare no resemblence to the domain name registered within SaaS?
If so how does SaaS handle the difference between e-mail domains and authentication (AD) domains for web access?

Network Management
The Army is winding down a high-profile IT project that has been years in the making: The migration to enterprise email services is essentially complete.
If all goes according to plan, the Army is expected to announce the transition's completion as soon as July 25, according to Mike Krieger, deputy Army CIO/G-6.
The migration includes 1.5 million users in the unclassified NIPRNet and 100,000 users on the classified SIPRNet. Those figures include almost every Army component as well as related agencies, including the Joint Staff.
The enterprise-wide program for email and other types of communications services within the Defense Department is being carried out in coordination with the Defense Information Systems Agency. DISA hosts the cloud-based email, which also includes services such as a global address list, calendar-sharing and a platform for collaborating across geographic locations.
Work on the program began in 2009, when Army officials announced they would explore the option of commercially managed email with a request for information. In 2010, officials decided to go through DISA instead, citing cost savings.
The road to completion – a target date at least four months behind the March 2013 deadline officials had determined as of last August – has been rocky at times. The project struggled through obstacles that included technical problems, funding hurdles amid questions from Congress and reports of exaggerated savings.
As of August 2012 – the most recent estimate available -- enterprise email was projected to save the Army $76 million in fiscal 2013 and $380 million through 2017.

With some 14 million letters already out and millions more expected to hit mailboxes by the end of the month, the Office of Personnel Management expects to wrap up notifications to breach victims in the coming weeks.
Here are 14 young women and men -- in agencies and the private sector alike -- who are overachieving in their current roles and distinguishing themselves as the likely leaders of tomorrow.
Steve Kelman continues the conversation on fixing government acquisition.
A governmentwide email retention strategy could have a broad impact on the public and our nation's history.
Agency CIOs can lead real and lasting change with the help of other government leaders and old-school performance grades.
The Inspector General nominee at the Department of Veterans Affairs told a Senate panel he could institute reform in the short time he'll have on the job.
A reciprocal travel program with 38 participating countries allows for visa-free visits, but a key U.S. senator warns of troubling gaps in the security data.
Antiquated computer systems based on legacy code are a problem for government not just because they are hard to secure, but because it is hard to find people to run them.
Steven Kelman unpacks the argument that social media can negatively affect organizational performance.
Actually the Army issued both an RFI and an RFP presolication notice, then cancelled. Per FedBizOpps "After careful consideration of the current market for enterprise e-mail, and a thorough review of the industry responses to the Draft RFP, it has been determined that additional review is necessary to
re-determine the Army's requirement for e-mail services," the Army said in a cancellation notice posted to FedBizOpps on May 18, 2010.
This article mentions the purported savings, but it does not mention the actual total costs of the system to include design, testing, software, hardware, operations and sustainment and other ancillary costs like needing to upgrade desktops and laptops just to implement.
What are the actual current costs of this system, what do Soldiers and employees say about the user experience from across the Service to include both CONUS and OCONUS bases and operations, how many servers and storage devices were needed that make up the email Pods, and do users have mobile access?
Savings are a fictional number. The new system is unreliable resulting in massively decreased productivity - literally 1-2 hours per day per person in my office. If you factor in the pay for loss of productivity I'd be willing to bet the new system is more expensive.

Jacques Brunius
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (March 2013)
Jacques B. Brunius, French actor, director and writer, was born Jacques Henri Cottance in Paris on September 16, 1906, died Exeter, Devon (UK), on April 24, 1967. He was cremated in Sidmouth, with a tribute by Mesens.
Assistant director to Luis Buñuel on L'Âge d'or, he appeared in more than 30 movies, using several alternate names: Jacques Borel, J.B. Brunius, Jacques-Bernard Brunius, Jacques Brunius, Brunius, J.B.Brunius. He acted in many of the early, more political, movies of his friend Jean Renoir. He married French-English actress Cecile Chevreau in 1951. Their son Richard was born in 1956.
Member of the surrealist group in France and then in England, with his friend E.L.T. Mesens, Conroy Maddox, Ithell Colquhoun, Simon Watson Taylor and Roland Penrose. Brunius attacked Toni del Renzio, who was married to Colquhoun and who was attempting to reanimate an inactive English group in 1942–3. Brunius' countersigned the tract Idolatry and Confusion, which condemned and mocked del Renzio unjustifiably. In reality, Mesens feared a takeover of the group leadership by del Renzio.
He never missed an opportunity to defend surrealism, and participated in many a radio show. In 1959, he undertook a vigorous defense of the poetic valor of nursery rhymes.

Looking For:
Backers with enthusiasm for music, theater, and/or beer.
In Return:
A resurrected gem of a building, an acoustically tuned music venue, a contemporary professional theater space, a new craft brewery, and an unbelievable number of awesome rewards!
The excitement of hearing a band in a really sweet space, the thrill of being part of the local arts community, and the camaraderie of being involved in one of the best neighborhood revitalization projects ever. We're crowd-funding this project because we want our lives to be this project, and we want to involve everyone. The funds from this will be going directly towards our redevelopment process - construction and equipment. We have a full business plan for operations and long-term development, but we need to open the doors first. While this is something we love, we're still coming at this project from the craftsman mindset, with a relentless focus on becoming the best space for artists, beer, and urban redevelopment. This is something we know we can do really really well.
Cincinnati needs some great performance spaces of this scale with good acoustics, nice amenities, and a centralized location. We are devoted to giving musicians, theater companies, dancers, filmmakers, and all other artists a place that is accessible to a mid-sized audience in a space that really lets them be creative. It is our passion to work with artists to get their work presented, and to provide the city with these essential cultural assets to share and bond over.
There are many cool old buildings in Over-The-Rhine that are ripe for redevelopment. This project tackles one of the biggest and best and creates an icon and landmark. We love that the neighborhood with the largest collection of historic Italianate architecture in the country is finally getting the urban redevelopment treatment. There has been great improvement and investment in the neighborhood in the past few years. We want to continue the trend by utilizing one of the trickier, more difficult building projects in the area, and anchoring another end of the community with our collection of mixed uses.
Grayscale Cincinnati will be a multi-use performing arts facility and craft brewery in Cincinnati, Ohio. For the past year, we have been working like mad to put all of the pieces together. We are redeveloping the Jackson Brewery / Metal Blast building from a dilapidated, vacant structure into a happening music venue, creative live theater, bar/lobby, and craft brewery. We're unbelievably excited to be working in Cincinnati's Over-The-Rhine neighborhood, to be situated within the fantastic Brewery Heritage District, and to be a feature stop on of the Brewery Heritage Trail.
This project is about us making something that the city needs and that we really want to do. We want to bring a super high-quality music venue to Cincinnati. We want to have a space for professional quality theater in a raw, intimate space. We want to make beer.
We want to bring this building back to life!
With our background and this building, we discovered that we can offer that and much more. Our business objectives are: 1) Launch a live music venue bolstered by innovative recording technology and digital distribution system. 2) Reinstate an operating brewery onsite to serve as a tourist destination and bar. 3) Create a multi-purpose theater space for live theater and other events.
The goal amount for this campaign is the bare minimum needed to combine with our own investment to get our engineers and designers paid and get the financing started for the whole redevelopment. Every dollar over the minimum helps us make this better and more sustainable. The current construction estimate is approximately $900,000. If we could reach that, we could open the doors next year without any debt - which would be a dream that would get paid back to you. Free shows, educational outreach, flying in bigger artists - all those things we want to do someday, could be done immediately. I'm so excited!
Please help us get there by contributing and sharing our campaign.
One of the key elements of our project is the historic rehabilitation of one of the key pieces of architecture and brewing history in our city. It is one of the oldest remaining brewery structures in Cincinnati - and we are honored by the stewardship of such a fantastic piece of history. Our goal is to rehabilitate the facility - repairing the old brickwork, cleaning and maintaining all of the structure, reinstalling windows that match the original facade, and generally keeping the industrial character and aesthetic of the entire site. And best of all, we're putting a brewery back inside!
The fact that we're adding in new cultural and entertainment facilities in this location is also a key factor of this project. We are heavily focused on enhancing the urbanizism of the city. By helping to reestablish central neighborhoods in Cincinnati, and creating density in appropriate locations, we can continue to build the entire region in a natural and sustainable manner. We want Over-The-Rhine and Cincinnati to be a destination for culture and brewing tourism.
We have experience completing projects of this type before. We already have partnerships with local construction managers, engineers, and artisans to bring the project to life. We will provide parking on site by regrading some additional adjacent parcels. We will run new utilities throughout the whole building. We will get this first phase of the facility up and running and then focus on expanding our mission and operations into the upper levels and basement levels in the future.

He is currently a professor for the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music's Jazz Department and a consultant with the Cincinnati School for Creative & Performing Arts.
What We Need:
The project is a complete update of the building. In its current state, it is a fantastic artifact, but it is unusable. We are partnering with a local developer to manage the basic shell and site of the facility - brick, roof, exterior doors and windows, parking, etc... We are directly responsible for the interior fitout, including doors, walls, finishes, utilities, lighting, and equipment. Together we are bringing the facility up to code and ensuring that it can function the way we like. As an architect focusing on architectural acoustics and renovations, Scott has been through this process many times for his clients. He completely understands the design, coordination, and financial issues involved.
History Of The Building:
(pulled from a number of historical sources) The initial brewery building was built in1859 by the Kleiner brothers. The Jackson Brewery was strategically built into the hillside to provide space underneath for the deep cave-like vaults used in the production of lager beer. George Weber gained control of the brewery in 1873 for $285,000. Under the ownership of Weber, the brewery saw its greatest success. In 1884, he incorporated under the name of George Weber Brewing Company. Under his presidency, the Jackson Brewery expanded its southern export trade and solidified distribution points in Chattanooga, New Orleans, Augusta and Nashville. By 1885 the brewery produced 100,000 barrels a year and employed 62 people.
In 1886, the brewery purchased two Pictet ice machines that allowed production of beer year round for the first time. Before this innovation, ice came from the Great Lakes or were cut in large chunks from the Ohio River and stored. Ice was used to regulate the temperature of the lager vaults. The building constructed to house the ice machines is now in ruins on the edge of the hillside in front of the remaining building. In the mid 1880s, Weber Co. advertised five types of bottled beer including a Pilsner, Rhinegold, Doppel-bier, Select and Export Beer.
The Jackson Brewery complex during the ownership of George Weber.
In 1889, a group of attorneys, Leo A. Brigel, E W. Kittredge and Laurence Maxwell, purchased the brewery for a mere $130,000 and reincorporated it. They brewed the profitable Jackson Pure Old Lager Beer. Unfortunately, brewing was stopped by prohibition in 1919. The brewery stayed open during prohibition by producing various non-alcoholic beverages and other products until the repeal. At some point ownership shifted to a local conglomerate and the name was changed to SquibbPatterison Breweries Inc.
In 1933, they began preparations for the installation of new brewing and bottling equipment to modernize operations at the plant. This required the construction of 1,000,000 cubic feet of manufacturing space and 350,000 cubic feet of storage space. The complete refurbishment of existing equipment including a new bottling unit, soaker and pasteurizers, filling, crowning and labeling machines, new condensers, water cooler and a new chimney on the main building. These included a new ice house at 218 West McMicken Avenue and bottling and shipping structures that incorporated the existing stock house.
The whitewashed post-1933 main building. The central bay has the inscription "Jackson Brewery Squibb-Patterson Breweries Inc. founded in 1862 modernized in 1933".
When Squibb-Patterison was unable to make the brewery profitable they sold the brewery to a group of Detroit investors who reincorporated under the name of Jackson Brewing Co. Unfortunately, the business closed without fanfare in 1941. All of the brewery equipment was sold off and the building was striped and emptied. Almost all of the windows were bricked up during the 1960's riots. Since the demise of the Jackson Brewery, the building has been used intermittently by various businesses. One such resident was the Gibson Wine company that used the building for storage. Then the Cincinnati Metal Blast Company, who upped the power supply, did some major alternations to sections of the building including lowering the floor and raising the ceiling in the western bay. They also painted their logo on the building over the original Jackson Brewery sign which is why the building is commonly referred to as the Metal Blast building today.

I use parchment paper on all my cookie sheets, roasting pans/dishes, makes clean up a breeze!
I use the plastic tops from margarine tubs and the like as coasters for items in my pantry and bathroom. The plastic coasters will keep drips from syrup bottles, bathroom cleaners, etc from staining the shelf and they are easy to rinse off!
Most people start out exercising full on and when they feel the pain, they back off. I start out slow and add exercises and repetitions slowly. This gives my body time to adjust to the extra exercise time and repetitions.There is no need to hurt yourself and make exercising something to avoid. Make it easy and fun. Add an exercise a month if you like.

Dying to Live
Post by Juwaher Yusuf, BAJI Program Associate
When my 17-year old cousin fled one year ago, he left with several friends embarking on a journey between countries. Their plan of action changed regularly – depending on where they were, how much money they had and what issues unexpectedly occurred. His group of travelling friends dwindled from checkpoint to checkpoint. A few months ago he reached Libya – what felt like a partial victory as the final destination before freedom. One week ago, he boarded a ship destined for Italy. He made it safely. I am thankful he is alive and well – but the majority of his friends did not make it.
900 people lost their lives from Sundays' ship devastation in the Mediterranean Sea. The ship capsized Sunday with reportedly 950 people on board as it left Tripoli, Libya the morning of Saturday, April 18.
It took 6 hours for search-and-rescue operations to reach the area.
28 survivors have been identified and were taken to Catania, Sicily, on Monday.
900 lives.
900 families.
900 people faced with forced migration. But apparently, that's not newsworthy.
I find what's notably missing from the stories I've scoured online are the root causes of mass migration that has soared exponentially. Why are people moving in such large numbers? What issues are motivating such treacherous journeys? Immigrants migrate for a number of reasons, particularly those related to the impact of global economic policies on their place of origin and their daily lives. These issues have failed to be mentioned. The reporting is solely around the 'now' rather than the 'why.'
The reality is – and has been – that people are fleeing their home countries for genuine fear of their lives. Reasons including – but not limited to – humanitarian crises, war, extreme poverty, climate change, fear of persecution, poor living conditions, etc. In some countries, 2,000 – 3,000 people are fleeing each month. We must dissect the root causes of migration.
We remember the 2013 devastation off of the coast of Lampedusa that killed 366 people, yet we are still in crisis mode two years later. We have been reactive to tragedies of this nature rather than thinking proactively to understand and solve the causes, preventing such devastation. Rapid response is only a short term solution for what is a long term problem.
We know men, women and children are risking their lives by sea with as many as 25,000 men, 6,000 women and 10,000 minors from Syria and Eritrea in 2014 alone.
The smuggling industry – that trades human lives – has long capitalized on the misfortune of immigrants – exploiting people suffering severe prosecution in their home countries. People are suffering and we see the devaluation of their lives directly through the ignorance, manipulation and framing of stories widely circulated. We must stop vilifying migrants as a problem – a problem that no one wants to solve.
This shipwreck marks the deadliest month on record with 1300 deaths in April alone – and this could rise to 30,000 by the end of the year according the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).
My cousin's fate could have changed any number of times during his journey, and it crushes me just thinking about it. My heart is heavy for the families who cannot share in my relief. I pray for strength to the families during these difficult times.
We are committed to advocating and fighting for the rights of all lives and urge a global call to challenge the root causes of migration. There is an urgent need for us to act. We all deserve to live a life of dignity. A life of health, happiness, safety and opportunity.
A change.org petition to ask the European Union to restore a robust operation of search and rescue at sea has gathered more than 77,000 petitions since it was launched yesterday. Please sign on.
BAJI Executive Director Opal Tometi Statement on Executive Action
- Administrative Relief for All immigrants – although 4 million is great, all 11 million is better. Many in our communities still won't be protected by the immigration announcement.
- No more Racial and Religious Profiling in the name of immigration enforcement.
- No more removal proceedings for Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs), many Black immigrants are LPRs and due to draconian laws from 1996 many get unduly targeted for removal.
- Address the visa backlog – many in people are waiting to be reunited with their family members, and this is easily one way the Administration could have taken additional action to support legal, already approved, migration
- No new enforcement programs nor increased border enforcement. This is flawed logic when there are many human rights violations and lack of due process that is already occurring with current programs and practices.
BAJI discusses immigration and criminalization of communities of color on BK Live!
Janis Rosheuvel (Black Alliance for Just Immigration Vice Chair/ Racial Justice for United Methodist Women) and Marlon Peterson (David Rothenberg Center for Public Policy, Fortune Society) discuss immigration and criminalization of communities of color with Manolia Charlotin (Feet in Two Worlds) on this edition of Caribbean Spotlight.
Original air date: June 18, 2014
Teleconference IV: The Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latino Migrations to the U.S.
Janvieve Williams Comrie will discuss the historical, social and cultural dimensions of successive migration of Afro-Latinos/as and Afro-Caribbeans to the U.S. She will also shed light on the experience of these immigrants as they navigate the racial landscape of the U.S. society.
Janvieve Williams Comrie is the founder of the Latin American and Caribbean Community Center, she is dedicated to improving the conditions and opportunities for socially excluded and marginalized groups. Janvieve has worked throughout the Americas with communities on the ground and organizations to address the division and isolation faced by many of African descent and indigenous people, including low wageworkers, undocumented families and immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean in the United States, by building a political and critical consciousness while using a human rights framework.

Background to teleconference series: The United Nations has declared 2011 as the "International Year for Peoples of African Descent". Ten years ago, landmark recommendations were made at the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance in Durban South Africa. In a four-part series of teleconferences that looks at the span of Black presence in the U.S. over the centuries, we will examine the unique migration experiences of the African Diaspora within the context of U.S. history and the current debate over immigration. The series brings provocative frameworks and analyses into the discussion about race and immigration that are seldom considered.
World Assembly of Migrants

Goree Island, Senegal
Posted by Gerald Lenoir, Executive Director, Black Alliance for Just Immigration
Nunu Kidane of Priority Africa Network, Colin Rajah of the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and I traveled from Oakland, California to Dakar Senegal to attend the World Assembly of Migrants (WAM) on Goree Island and the World Social Forum (WSF) at the Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar.
|A statue of freed slaves on
Goree Island donated by the
government of Guadeloupe.
Today, we took the 20-minute ferry ride to the infamous Goree Island where enslaved Africans were imprisoned, brutalized, led shackled through the "Door of No Return" and shipped en masse to the New World. We were there to attend the opening session of the World Assembly of Migrants. The Assembly was initiated by a migrant rights organization in France, Sans Papier (Without Papers) to provide the opportunity for migrants from all over the world to give input into the draft of the World Charter of Migrants. The opening session, attended by over 100 migrants, started with a panel that included the Mayor of Goree Island, a representative from WAM and a member of the leadership of the WSF leadership group.
The Mayor reminded us that the event was taking place on the spot where the first brutal forced migration of Africans took place. The WSF representative spoke about the importance of migrant rights as a central theme of the Social Forum scheduled to take place February 6-11.
|Migrants from all over the world listen
to the opening panel presentations at
the World Assembly of Migrants.
The WAM speaker spoke to the need of the rights of migrant to be recognized. The draft charter, he said, builds upon the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Indigenous People. As an Austrian, he talked about the "wave of xenophobia sweeping across Europe." He indicated that process of input into the charter will make sure that it's ratified by the people and that it is a people's document. The aim is to get the charter ratified by United Nations.
The 2-page draft charter reads, in part:
"We Migrants declare to the world that: MIGRATION WILL BE A FREE AND WORTHY CHOICE FOR ALL AND IN EVERY CORNER OF THE PLANET…" (emphasis in the original document)
(To read the entire draft of the World charter of Migrants, go to www.cmmigrants.org.
Tomorrow, the day will be spent pouring over the draft document. There will opportunities for the migrants assembled to give their input. By the end of the day, the charter will be adopted by those assembled. On Friday, migrants, along with their allies, will consider the future of the charter. for many, the future for migrants is depending upon migrants themselves articulating their rights and, together with their allies, fighting for them.
My colleagues and I will continue to blog from the WAM and the WSF until February 11. For photos of today and throughout the week, go to Priority Africa Network's D2D – World Social Forum web page at http://d2dworldsocialforumdakar2011.blogspot.com/
Migrants in Mali
Bamako, Mali, West Africa
July 17, 2010
Gerald Lenoir, Executive Director of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration (www.blackalliance.org) and Nunu Kidane, Director of Priority Africa Network (www.priorityafrica.org) were in Bamako, Mali to attend the inaugural gathering of the Pan African Network in Defense of Migrant Rights hosted by Institute for the Research and Promotion of Alternative Development (IRPAD) and funded by Open Society Institute, West Africa (OSIWA). The following blog describes the conditions of African migrants who are deported from North Africa and end up in Mali.
We went by taxi more than 10 miles from the center of Bamako across the Niger River to meet with Ntamag Francois Romero, the director of the Association des Refoulés d'Afrique Centrale au Mail, or ARACEM (Association of Deported Central Africans in Mali). The cab let us out on a main street where we were met by an ARACEM staff member who led us the one block down a potholed dirt road muddied by the morning rain.We entered the gate of the rust brown, adobe-like two-story building that housed offices and a shelter for deportees. The shelter residents greeted us with handshakes and "Bonjours" as we entered the courtyard. We made our way into Ntamag's office where we introduced ourselves and told him that we were interested in knowing about the migration and deportation experiences of the people who come to the shelter. He graciously told us his own story and about the work of the ARACEM.
Ntamag himself left his home country of Cameroon six years ago. He was deported to Mali from Morocco four years ago. He and other migrants who had experienced deportation founded ARACEM in July 2006. It is funded by Caritas, a Catholic relief agency, and other international funding agencies. The funding is often inadequate to feed and pay for unexpected expenses such as hospitalization when one of the refugees is ill. The center therefore requests donations to purchase additional rice and supplies to feed the increasing number of individuals that depend on it.
An astounding 100 deportees a month come to ARACEM for shelter, food and clothing. They are expelled from Libya, Morocco and Algeria as they make the way from Central and West Africa in an attempt to find work. These three North African countries have signed agreements with European countries to act as external border control agents to prevent migrants from reaching Europe.
Ntamag told us that migrants come to the shelter at the first of the month and in the middle of the month. They have been stripped of their money, identification papers and all of their possessions by the police or border patrol and dropped in the middle of the desert on the border with Mali with no food or water. Some are extremely traumatized by the entire experience, having spent several months and even years in detention before being deported. The difficulty of their situation is too much for some and they "lose their heads," unable to cope.
The supposed three-day stay usually gets extended to up to ten days after which they must leave because the staff has to make room for the next group of expelled migrants. This leaves the young men in desperate situation with no ability to get resources or identification and no hope of going back or forward. While they are "free" to leave the compound and to look for employment, they have no way to sustain themselves. The government of Mali is one of the few that does not incarcerate refugees in detention centers and they can remain within the country if they so wish.
Many of the migrants are ashamed to return home after being deported and will try desperately to find their way to Europe again. Their families are often destitute and are depending upon them to reach Europe, find work and send part of their earnings home. So they spend their three to ten days weighing their options. If they decide to return home, the staff of ARACEM helps them to contact their family and figure out how to get back to their country—Nigeria, Cameroon, Central African Republic or another country. Some find a way to earn money in Mali and try again to reach Europe. Others, like Ntamag, remain in Mali.
When we asked Ntamag why he left Cameroon, he pointed to government corruption and the exploitation of the natural resources of Cameroon by multinational companies from France, the United States and other countries of the West. Although the vast majority of the people of Cameroon are poor, "Cameroon is not a poor country," Ntamag tells us.
"The young never have hope," he says. "You go to Europe to take care of family."
As we ended our visit, we discussed with Ntamag a project to document the abuses suffered by migrants and a process from them to take their collective cases to the African Union's Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and other international and governmental bodies. We agreed to work with him on developing the project and to help to seek justice for people whose only crime was to cross borders.

Pan African Network on Migration Formed
Bamako, Mali, July 18, 2010
Four years ago, in an international conference on migration in Brussels, a small group of activists from various African countries gathered to compare experiences and share stories about migration within and out of Africa. Two years ago, at a similar conference in Manila, a larger group of African civil society members gathered to affirm a similar commitment and hold the first meeting focused on African migrants' rights.
Another meeting was held in the city of Bamako, Mali in West Africa four days ago. Representatives from over 40 organizations from Africa as well as allies from Europe and the U.S. gatheredto establish the Pan African Network in Defense of Migrants' Rights.
Priority Africa Network and the Black Alliance for Just Immigration were honored to have been invited to this historic gathering which was coordinated and hosted by Mamadou Goita from IRPAD-Afrique (Institute for Research and Promotion of Alternatives for Development) with a grant from OSI-WA (Open Society Institute West Africa).
One of the issues discussed at the meeting was the current bilateral agreements between European and African governments to collaborate in the expulsion of African migrants. In essence, a country in Africa – for example Nigeria or Cameroon – sign an accord with France, to deport all the individuals – back to the poverty and persecution they fled from in the first place. In exchange, the Africa country receives "development aid" compensation which never reaches those most in need, especially not the migrants. These agreements are never transparent and are often times in violation of human rights conventions.
If there is a single country in Africa with the highest number of incidents of repression, it is Libya. In the least known bilateral agreement (also never made public), Libya and Italy signed an
The most recent demonstration of this abuse is Libya's detention and expected deportation of some 245 Eritreans from a nation known for the imprisonment, torture and death of its citizenry. These refugees are currently fighting for their lives and asking for international support.
Other participants in the historic gathering and formation of the Network were members of a deported group of Malians who had organized themselves into a strong grassroots advocacy front. AME (Association Malienne des Expulsés). Similar organizations all over Africa are setting new trends of mobilization of those who have been the primary victims of the most harmful policies. Over the coming months, the Network will ensure that abuses against migrants will not go unnoticed, unreported or unheard. It will bring unprecedented collaboration from organizations who are doing similar work but have not shared and coordinated their work before.
At the conclusion of the gathering, participants affirmed to bring an Africa perspective to the next World Social Forum on Migration, scheduled to be held in Quito Equador (October 8 — 12, 2010), the next People Global Action on Migration and Development in Mexico City (November 3 – 5, 2010) and the next World Social Forum in Dakar Senegal (February 6 – 11, 2011).

Q&A: Fox Reality Kingpin Mike Darnell on Why He's Leaving, and What's Next
Mike Darnell | Photo Credits: Eugene Gologursky/WireImage/Getty Images
There's a reason why they call Mike Darnell the "dark prince" of reality TV. Darnell, who on Friday announced his exit as the president of alternative entertainment at Fox, is still best known for his in-your-face fare like Joe Millionaire, Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction, The Swan, When Animals Attack and Man vs. Beast.
Some of those shows, like Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire and Temptation Island, led to juicy TV scandals. (It's why the New York Times once billed him as TV's "point man for perversity.") But Darnell also oversaw the biggest TV phenomenon of the past decade: American Idol, a show that was unbeatable in its prime.
Fox's Longtime Reality Boss Mike Darnell to Exit After 18 Years
With Idol's erosion and Simon Cowell's X-Factor failing to connect with viewers, it's been a rough season for the exec. But Darnell, who has also been championed as "The World's Scariest Programmer," remains one of TV's most colorful characters and has probably had more impact on popular culture than any other network honcho in recent memory.
TV Guide Magazine talked on Friday with Darnell, who exits at the end of June, about his legacy and what the future holds.
TV Guide Magazine: You considered leaving Fox during your last contract renegotiation in 2010 — but you ended up staying. What happened this time?
Darnell: Every time my contract has come up over the past decade, I've gone through this excruciating decision-making process. This is my family and I love it here. In essence, this is my world. I created this world. And it's very hard to walk away. But I've been here 18 years now, which is a long time. If I'm ever going to try anything new, I have to be bold enough to make that decision. My gut instinct is always not to change. But I had been sitting on the contract for a couple of months, and after Idol was over, I knew I had to make a decision fairly quickly. Ultimately, I said, if I'm going to do it, this is it. Let's go. I meant what I said in my press release. One more time, and I might as well retire here. Which is not a bad thing, I just had to make that decision. There are multiple opportunities out there and I'll now take a deep breath for a week or two and then make a decision.
TV Guide Magazine: Do you want to be a producer or start a production company? Run a cable network? What's the plan?
Darnell: Everything is a "maybe" right now. It's more about the options and what those look like. There's such a wide world now. When I started, this was it. Network television was it. But boy, is that not true anymore. Some of the biggest reality shows are on cable right now. The landscape has changed greatly. I'll stretch my fingers out and try to innovate, the way I did when I first started here.
TV Guide Magazine: Network TV is where there's the least amount of change going on in the reality world. With so many veteran series now entering their second decade, there's not much room to create anything new. Did that play a role in your exit?
Darnell: The wild, wild world of it is in different areas now. I've got a stable of great shows that are mostly sales-friendly, and there's not a lot of room (at Fox) to make crazy shows. So that's part of it. There's so much stuff out there, it seemed crazy not to pursue it. The reality business has exploded, and there are enormous opportunities out there.

Hi everyone, please visit our new look community site and let us know what you think. If you have any problems with the new site, you can still switch back to the current community site.
I have been today to see my oncologist at UCLH to review a recent CT scan following the end of chemo therapy on Jan 31st. I am on ICON 8 and have had weekly Taxol and 3 weekly carboplatin. I had surgery after the first 3 cycles. The outcome was that "all visible signs of disease were removed". I had 2 full cycles after surgery and then on the third cycle had to forgo the last Taxol as I had deveioped a hot red rash on the right hand and some on the left. So the last 138mgs of Taxol were not given. The upshot of this is that I had an interim CT scan on the 13th of January - nothing showing and blood tests CA125 was 31.
Today however on seeing my oncologist she said that the recentCT scan Feb 27th showedsuspicious signs on the lung of 2/3 lesions however she said that she could not confirm the origon of these as the report was inclonclusive. I have been asked to wait for a further 6 weeks to see if these either go away or develop and grow. In other words wait and see. Incidentally the CA125 today was 19. I am worried that sitting around doing nothing could be the wrong thing to do. SO the question is do I ask for a second opinion, Do i try to find out what a more proactive unit would do, and finally if any of you out in the mist have heard of this sort of dilema and if so what you would advise. Look forward to hearing from you.
hi, was wondering what decision you have come to as my brother in law is facing similar after being in remission from primary bowel cancer, only he wasnt told that the oncology team were "keeping an eye on" a lesion on his lung, but now has been refered to the lung team at kings hospital for further investigation & feels a little let down that this wasnt done sooner, not sure the "wait & see" approach is a good one, best wishes, Caz.

(2 reviews)
Let me start with the basics: I am a career nanny who chose to go into childcare nearly 20 years ago, because I absolutely love it. I have extensive experience with children ages 6 weeks-15 years old. I have been the long term, full time nanny for two(different families) oral-deaf children who received cochlear implants and I took a central role, along side parents and educators, in teaching listening and spoken language skills to these children. I've also worked with other oral-deaf children part time, as a short term nanny for a toddler with moderate hearing loss and as a care provider for an autistic and profoundly deaf child/teen for the past 8 years. More on my special needs experience is available in my "special needs profile", which I believe anyone can access. I have a hard time quantifying my skills and qualifications because I have a fluid style and adjust to work easily with a variety of parenting styles and children of different natural temperaments. The cornerstone of my "nanny style" is forming a close personal bond with each individual child, and finding what works for that specific child, in partnership with the parents. It's hard to put down on paper, or demonstrate in an interview, how this translates to a wonderful nanny/child/family dynamic, so I encourage interested families to contact my references. I love many, many aspects of being with young children as they develop and grow, but my favorite part of childcare is story telling. I love fostering imagination and using stories in play and education. In infancy, the "stories" are just a narration of daily events. As the child starts to attend to books, songs, and finger play, I take those simple stories and weave them into the natural fabric of the day. Over time the conversation grows and opportunities for language and brain development are limitless. Once the child is able to understand abstract stories, I make up stories with my "talking" dogs and use those stories as entertainment, but also to teach "theory of mind" and work through discipline issues in a non-confrontational and supportive way. One of my young clients once said to me, "My other nanny is good at crafts, but you are good at finding the fun in anything!"

ITS BACK!!!??? so when is the full version coming out??
Persian Invasion is a modification for Rome - Total War 1.5 that begins in 490BC. The vast Persian Empire celebrates a golden age of prosperity, and looms over the smaller states that surround it. The king of Persia, Darius the Great, is a tolerant leader, but he has not forgotten what happened in Ionia, and may yet seek revenge for Greek treachery...
Persian Invasion makes a comeback due to the efforts of Lanjane! All credit goes to him for this patch.
Posted by comrade-general on Oct 31st, 2010
The patch is released! Click here - Twcenter.net
- cleaned, fixed and optimised descr_model_battle.txt. Now 170/255 slots used.

All thing considered I have decided to switch to potasium oxalate for palladium printing, even though it is a bit more expensive than sodium citrate. But I have two questions.
1. Do you need to replenish the developer or is it sufficient to just add back what is lost during processing?
2. How do you deal with the build-up of metal in the used developer? Can you filter this out or do you need to decant from the top?

List of Living Mutants
this wiki
Here is a list of known, living, confirmed powered mutants, originating from, or currently located on Earth-616.
Are also specified:
- The status of the alternate versions: "past", "future" or "alternate".
- The origin of the X-Gene (and of the mutation generally) for clones, artificial mutants, etc.
The list is divided in three categories:
- The human mutants Homo sapiens superior :
- The non Homo superior human mutants, including Homo supreme
- The Non-Human Mutants, born from others forms of life, including aliens, robots and A.I.
Post-Secret War mutants
After Secret Wars, the Terrigen Bomb was proven to have induced consecutive effects upon the mutant population.
These are the mutants who are confirmed living Post-Secret Wars:
(Billy Kaplan)
(Billy Maximoff's soul)
Post-M-Day mutants
The mutants who were powered before M-Day, dead or alive, known or not, and who were living and confirmed prior to the consecutive effects that Secret Wars and the Terrigen Bomb had upon the mutant population. (Note: The Post-Secret Wars status of many remains unknown.)
Post-M-Day Mutants known before M-Day
The mutants who were already powered and alive at the time of the M-Day, and who haven't died and resurrected since, including:
- The 198 (the human mutants known by the American Government).
- The time- or reality-travellers who made their first steps on Earth-616 before M-Day.
- The pre-M-Day clones.
(David Haller)
(Inside Blindfold)
(Shatterstar/self's DNA)
(Gaveedra Seven)
(Longshot/self's DNA)
(Tommy Shepherd)
(Tommy Maximoff's soul)
Tiger Shark
(Todd Arliss)
(Namor's DNA)
Mutants discovered/revealed after M-Day
Mutants who were activated before the M-Day, active after, but unknown before that event.
Mutants resurrected after M-Day
Include mutants dead but powered at the time of the M-Day, as well as characters alive after the M-Day, deceased and resurrected back, and also characters who were "recomposed", such as Nate Grey or Onslaught.
(Magneto's DNA)
(Charles Xavier & Magneto's consciousness)
(Laura Kinney)
(Wolverine's DNA)
(Nate Grey)
(Cyclops & Jean Grey's DNAs)
Mutants repowered after M-Day
Many mutants were repowered through various means after the M-Day.
Post-M-Day New Mutants
The mutants born, activated, created or came and stayed to Earth-616 since the M-Day.
Mutants born after M-Day
A few mutants have born since the M-Day, the most well known being Hope Summers, whose arrival relaunched the evolutionary process to break the M-Day effect.[1]
If there is a doubt, please classify the mutant as "activated after M-Day".
Mutants activated after M-Day
Many new mutants have emerged since the Messiah Complex (birth of Hope Summers), the Second Coming (her return to the present and her activation) and the dispersion of the Phoenix.
Mutants created after M-Day
This category include clones and humans having received mutant genetic material after the M-Day.
(Colossus' DNA)
(Nightcrawler's DNA)
(Mutant DNA, possibly Cyclops')
(Thunderbird's DNA)
Time- or reality-travelers came after M-Day
Since M-Day, many mutants have came from the past, the future or the alternate realities, to Earth-616, and stayed there.
(James Howlett)
(Alternate/ Franklin Richards' creation)
Namorita Prentiss
(Namora's DNA)
Non-Homo superior mutants
Some mutants aren't the fruit of an X-Gene within their genetics and part of the Homo superior species:
Non-Human Mutants
Contrary to the preceding sections, not all individuals listed here are "classic mutants" with the X-Gene. As far as we know, the M-Day had no non-human victim. However, this article list the mutant confirmed as powered.
- For further explanation, please see the specific section in the article: Homo superior: Non-Human Mutants
- For a more complete list, please refer to the lists of mutants sorted by species.

One person has been hospitalized after a boat crashed into the shore of the Hudson River near Newburgh.
Bear Mountain Park Police said early Sunday the person is in stable condition and that the crash remains under investigation. It occurred about a mile north of Newburgh.
Coast Guard spokesman Erik Swanson said police were searching for the boat's operator, who may have fled. He said initial reports were of three people hurt.
On July 26, a bride-to-be Lindsey Stewart and her fiancé's best man, Mark Lennon, were killed on the Hudson when their powerboat slammed into a barge near the Tappan Zee Bridge in Piermont.
Four others, including the groom-to-be, were injured. The boat's operator faces a charge of vehicular manslaughter.
