The December 2011 release of Tivoli Federated Identity Manger 6.2.2 includes support for OAuth 1.0 and 2.0 delegated authorization protocols. Included in this support for each protocol are three extensible programming interfaces that may be used to manage certain configuration and persistence information used for OAuth flows. The supported extension interfaces are:
|Link to development material
|Client Configuration Provider
|Permits externalization of the storage and management of OAuth client registration data including client identifiers, secrets and redirect URI's.
|Client Configuration Provider
|Token Cache
|Permits externalized storage and query of OAuth grants and tokens
|Token OAuth Token Cache Extension Point
|Trusted Clients Manager
|Permits externalized storage and query of resource owner authorization decisions. This can be used to decide if a resource owner needs to be prompted for consent-to-authorize at the authorize endpoint. It will also be queried when a resource owner wishes to browse their stored consent decisions.
|Trusted Clients Manager
As you can see from the links in the table above there is already detailed development information available for these extension points. The purpose of this particular article is to provide TFIM customers with example ready-to-use plugins (including source) for database-based implementations of these extension points. The examples included in this article are not directly supported by IBM, however the extension points that they utilize are fully supported. Source code is provided allowing you to build, modify and extend the examples as needed for your own requirements. The example code utilizes JDBC API's to store and retrieve information from DB2, and it should be relatively straight forward to deploy this same pattern for other database types.
There are several simple reasons why these plugins are shipped as example code rather than directly in TFIM itself as supported implementations.
- You will find that you can implement some interesting customized behaviour in these extensions – for example limiting the number of access or refresh tokens that are issued to a client per resource owner, and permitting fine-grained revocation interfaces.
- TFIM does not ship a database license for general use – this is something you either already have and use in your organization or need to acquire if you want to use database storage for the OAuth extensions.
- There are far more database and storage technologies in the market than we can economically test and individually support.
Based on this extensive variability a conscious decision was made to establish support at the point of the programming extension points.
TFIM does ship default implementations for each of these OAuth extension points and for a variety of scenarios these will be sufficient. A persistence-based approach such as that demonstrated in these JDBC implementations will be best suited to scenarios where one or more of the follow apply:
- long-lived access or refresh tokens are issued (use a custom token cache implementation)
- self-registration of clients is desired (use custom client configuration provider and store client config data external to TFIM)
- fine-grained revocation capabilities are required (use a custom trusted clients manager and token cache)
The rest of this article is geared at design and deployment guidelines for the example JDBC plugins in a DB2 environment. The plugins may be used independently however there is one optional revocation capability demonstrated in the trusted client manager extension that requires you also use the JDBC implementation for the token cache extension.
Operating System and Database Preparation
First create an operating-system user called fimjdbc. This will be the username used to connect to the database. For DB2 it's important this username is 8 characters or less. Set the password to non-expiring and something you can remember. This will need to be configured in WebSphere later.
For the purposes of preparing this article I used the trial edition of DB2 Data Server 9.7 for Linux available from http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/db2/linux-unix-windows/download.html. My installation was the Enterprise Server Edition with default installation options.
Creating Database, Tables, Indexes and Grants
The commands in this section show all the tables necessary for BOTH OAuth 1.0 and 2.0 implementations used by the example plugins. Of course you can change these table schemas so long as you also make sure the SQL commands executed from the example plugins are modified to suit. Note that the trusted clients manager implementation uses the same table for both OAuth versions however the token cache and external clients manager are different tables for OAuth 1.0 and 2.0. You only need to create tables for the version of OAuth you are using however it causes no problems if you create all the tables.
Using the DB2 command line:
# su – db2inst1 db2 => db2start db2 => CREATE DATABASE OAuthDB db2 => CONNECT TO OAuthDB CREATE TABLE OAuthDBSchema.TRUSTEDCLIENTS \ (USERNAME VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ FEDERATIONID VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ CLIENTID VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ UNIQUEID VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ TRUSTLEVEL VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL) CREATE TABLE OAuthDBSchema.PERMITTEDSCOPES \ (UNIQUEID VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ SCOPE VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL) CREATE TABLE OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH10CACHE \ (LOOKUPKEY VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ FEDERATIONID VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ TYPE VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL, \ CREATEDAT BIGINT, \ LIFETIME INT, \ EXPIRES BIGINT, \ TOKENSTRING VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ CLIENTID VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL, \ SECRET VARCHAR(64), \ USERNAME VARCHAR(64), \ SCOPE VARCHAR(512), \ CALLBACK VARCHAR(256), \ STATEID VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL, \ VERIFIER VARCHAR(64), \ REALM VARCHAR(128)) CREATE TABLE OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH10NONCE \ (LOOKUPKEY VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL, \ CREATEDAT BIGINT, LIFETIME INT, \ EXPIRES BIGINT) CREATE TABLE OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH10CLIENTCONFIG \ (FEDERATIONID VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ CLIENTID VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ CLIENTSECRET VARCHAR(256), \ DISPLAYNAME VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ CALLBACKURI VARCHAR(256), \ ALLOWCALLBACKOVERRIDE INT, \ ENABLED INT) CREATE TABLE OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH20CACHE \ (LOOKUPKEY VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ UNIQUEID VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL, \ FEDERATIONID VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ TYPE VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL, \ SUBTYPE VARCHAR(64), \ CREATEDAT BIGINT, \ LIFETIME INT, \ EXPIRES BIGINT, \ TOKENSTRING VARCHAR(2048) NOT NULL, \ CLIENTID VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL, \ USERNAME VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL, \ SCOPE VARCHAR(512) NOT NULL, \ REDIRECTURI VARCHAR(256), \ STATEID VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL) CREATE TABLE OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH20CLIENTCONFIG \ (FEDERATIONID VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ CLIENTID VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ CLIENTSECRET VARCHAR(256), \ DISPLAYNAME VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, \ REDIRECTURI VARCHAR(256), \ ENABLED INT) ALTER TABLE OAuthDBSchema.TRUSTEDCLIENTS ADD CONSTRAINT PK_UNIQUEID PRIMARY KEY (UNIQUEID) ALTER TABLE OAuthDBSchema.PERMITTEDSCOPES ADD CONSTRAINT PK_UNIQUEIDSCOPE PRIMARY KEY (UNIQUEID,SCOPE) ALTER TABLE OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH10CACHE ADD CONSTRAINT PK_LOOKUPKEY PRIMARY KEY (LOOKUPKEY) ALTER TABLE OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH10NONCE ADD CONSTRAINT PK_LOOKUPKEY PRIMARY KEY (LOOKUPKEY) ALTER TABLE OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH10CLIENTCONFIG ADD CONSTRAINT PK_FEDIDCLIENTID PRIMARY KEY (FEDERATIONID,CLIENTID) ALTER TABLE OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH20CACHE ADD CONSTRAINT PK_LOOKUPKEY PRIMARY KEY (LOOKUPKEY) ALTER TABLE OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH20CLIENTCONFIG ADD CONSTRAINT PK_FEDIDCLIENTID PRIMARY KEY (FEDERATIONID,CLIENTID) CREATE INDEX OAUTH10CACHE_EXPIRES ON OAUTHDBSCHEMA.OAUTH10CACHE (EXPIRES ASC) CREATE INDEX OAUTH20CACHE_EXPIRES ON OAUTHDBSCHEMA.OAUTH20CACHE (EXPIRES ASC) GRANT ALL ON OAuthDBSchema.TRUSTEDCLIENTS TO USER fimjdbc GRANT ALL ON OAuthDBSchema.PERMITTEDSCOPES TO USER fimjdbc GRANT ALL ON OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH10CACHE TO USER fimjdbc GRANT ALL ON OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH10NONCE TO USER fimjdbc GRANT ALL ON OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH10CLIENTCONFIG TO USER fimjdbc GRANT ALL ON OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH20CACHE TO USER fimjdbc GRANT ALL ON OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH20CLIENTCONFIG TO USER fimjdbc GRANT ALL ON OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH10CLIENTCONFIG TO USER fimjdbc
Example client registrations
Here are a couple of example insert commands that register OAuth 1.0 and 2.0 clients. Naturally you will need to modify these values depending on your federation configuration and point of contact:
INSERT INTO OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH10CLIENTCONFIG \ (FEDERATIONID, \ CLIENTID, \ CLIENTSECRET, \ DISPLAYNAME, \ CALLBACKURI, \ ALLOWCALLBACKOVERRIDE, \ ENABLED) VALUES \ ('https://profile.ibmidentitydemo.com/FIM/sps/oauth10sp/oauth10', \ 'key', \ 'secret', \ 'My Client', \ 'https://profile.ibmidentitydemo.com/FIM/fimivt/oauth/oauthClient.jsp', \ 1, \ 1) INSERT INTO OAuthDBSchema.OAUTH20CLIENTCONFIG \ (FEDERATIONID, \ CLIENTID, \ CLIENTSECRET, \ DISPLAYNAME, \ REDIRECTURI, \ ENABLED) VALUES \ ('https://profile.ibmidentitydemo.com/FIM/sps/oauth20sp/oauth20', \ 'key', \ 'secret', \ 'My Client', \ 'https://profile.ibmidentitydemo.com/FIM/fimivt', \ 1)
Next you need to determine the TCP/IP port used by your DB2 instance if you don't already have it recorded:
db2=> get dbm cfg
In the output look for line similar to:
TCP/IP Service name (SVCENAME) = db2c_db2inst1
If the value is a string name such as shown above, look up /etc/services to find the port number:
# grep db2c_db2inst1 /etc/services db2c_db2inst1 50003/tcp
Here you can see the port number on my server is 50003. This will be used later in the WebSphere configuration.
WebSphere Configuration
JDBC Provider Configuration
Next use the WebSphere administration console to configure a JDBC provider and data source. Navigate to Resources -> JDBC -> JDBC Providers, then:
- Pick a scope (I used server)
- Click New. The wizard will start.
- Select:
- Database Type: DB2.
- Provider Type: DB2 Universal JDBC Provider.
- Implementation Type: Connection pool data source.
- Click Next.
- Set paths for the JDBC driver. These will be dependent on your DB2 installation:
- DB2_UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH = /home/db2inst1/sqllib/java
- DB2_UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_NATIVEPATH = /home/db2inst1/sqllib/lib
- Click Next, then Finish.
- Save the config.
Authentication alias
Now create a J2C authentication alias for connecting to the database. Navigate to Security->Secure administration, applications and infrastructure->Java Authentication and Authorization Service->J2C authentication data:
- Click New.
- Set:
- Alias: fimalias
- UserID: fimjdbc <===== This is the operating system user we created originally.
- Password: That user's password.
- Click OK.
- Save Config.
Data Source Configuration
Now create the data source that the plugins will use. Navigate to Resources->JDBC->Data Sources.
- Pick a scope (server is what I used)
- Click New. Wizard will start.
- Set:
- Data source name: FIM OAuth JDBC Service
- JNDI Name: jdbc/OAuthDB
- Click Next.
- Select an existing JDBC Provider. You should be able to select the DB2 Universal JDBC Driver Provider configured earlier.
- Click Next.
- Set:
- Database name: OAuthDB
- Driver type: 4
- Server name: <DB2 server> - maybe localhost
- Port number: <See the comments on SVCNAME above - in my example this is 50003>
- Container Managed Persistence: Checked
- Click Next.
- Select the fimalias J2C authentication alias for container-managed authentication.
- Click Next, then Finish.
- Save the config.
You can now test the connection, and TFIM should work when configured with the JDBC plugins for OAuth.
Deploying and configuring the JDBC Plug-ins in TFIM
Using your own build, or the JDBC plug-ins jar attached to this article:
- Copy the jar file to the <fim_install_root>/plugins directory
- Using the TFIM console, navigate to Domain Management -> Runtime Node Management, then:
- Deploy plugins
- Reload configurations
Use the TFIM console to navigate to your OAuth federation properties panel. The custom plugins should now be available in the menu options for each of the plug-in extension types, as shown in the snippets below:
Implementation Details for the Sample Plug-ins
External Client Provider
The JDBC external client provider is very simple. The plug-in provides runtime retrieval only of OAuth client configuration data from the database. Any updates to the database (including registering new clients) must be done by your own processes external to TFIM. TFIM will check that a client is valid and enabled by during the authorization and token phases of an OAuth flow as well as each time that an access token is validated. If you wish to revoke all access to a client you can either delete the client or simply set the enabled column in the database for that client to 0. The only configuration for the module is the JNDI name for the data source which defaults to jdbc/OAuthDB.
As a bonus piece of example code I have included a WebSphere EAR application OAuthJDBC.ear with full source that provides very rudimentary client management. You can add and edit both OAuth 1.0 and 2.0 clients with this application. The application assumes the data source name is jdbc/OAuthDB. The URL's to access the application management pages are:
- OAuth 1.0: https://yourwebsphere/OAuthJDBC/oauth10Clients.jsp
- OAuth 2.0: https://yourwebsphere/OAuthJDBC/oauth20Clients.jsp
Token Cache
The token cache implementations facilitate storage and retrieval of OAuth tokens and grants (including authorization codes and refresh tokens for OAuth 2.0). The token cache implementations include a rudimentary cleanup thread which will periodically remove expired tokens from the database. The plugins support a "cleanup interval" configuration parameter for this purposes which defaults to 300 seconds. Another example configuration item shown in this plug-in for OAuth 2.0 is a facility to restrict the number of refresh tokens that have been issued to a client for a particular resource owner to 1. That means that whenever a client obtains a new refresh token for a particular resource owner (for example from a new authorization code flow initiated by the client) then any existing active refresh token for that client/resource-owner will be deleted. This is an example of how you can implement some of your own constraints regarding grants and tokens within the plug-ins. The module also has a configuration item for the JNDI name for the data source which defaults to jdbc/OAuthDB.
Trusted Clients Manager
The trusted clients manager extension point serves two purposes:
- During authorize endpoint processing it is used to both lookup and store resource owner authorization consent decision information (including scopes) in the database. These decisions are used to if a resource owner needs to be prompted for consent during the resource owner authorization step of an OAuth flow. Provided all the requested scopes have been previously consented by the user, interactive consent will not be required more than once.
- TFIM provides a trusted clients management URL endpoint for each federation. A resource owner can use this endpoint to view (and remove) their remembered consent decisions. TFIM only provides the ability to completely remove the remembered decision - not modify specific attributes associated with it. That said, once you are storing these consent decisions in your own database you may always write your own UI for resource owners to manipulate consent decisions if you have specialized requirements. When a decision is remove the resource owner is typically prompted for consent again on their next visit to the authorize endpoint.
The example plug-in included with this article offers an additional configuraiton option that will only work if the federation is also configured to use the JDBC token cache. The configuration option is a checkbox titled Auto-Revoke Tokens from JDBC Token Cache and when selected the plug-in will delete all existing access tokens and grants for a particular client/resource-owner at the time a resource owner deletes their remembered consent decision for that client. This has the effect of immediately revoking access for that client even if the client has a current non-expired access token.
Debugging and Troubleshooting
All debugging of the modules can be done using the WebSphere trace facility (Troubleshooting -> Logs and Trace in the WebSphere administration console). The plug-ins themselves use a common java package name and as such you can trace all execution of them using the trace string:
- com.tivoli.am.fim.demo.oauth.jdbcplugins_1.0.0.jar Example JDBC plug-ins including source
- OAuthJDBC.ear helper application for managing client registrations
The intent of this article is to provide TFIM customers wishing to leverage OAuth service provider capabilities in TFIM 6.2.2 with practical example implementation code for database-managed persistence of state and client configuration data. You should also note that by using custom implementations of the plug-in extension points you can implement advanced requirements around token lifetime management and revocation whilst still leverage TFIM for endpoint managmement, token creation and a rich set of authorization enforcement points.

Budget deal likely Friday if Medicaid is resolved
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A new compromise on Virginia's budget will have to wait for Friday morning.
House and Senate budget negotiators neared agreement Thursday night on revisions for the second year of the $88 billion biennial spending blueprint for state government. But differences over the pace of expanding Medicaid under the federal health care reform law complicated talks.
The Senate favors expanding Medicaid to an additional 400,000 uninsured Virginians just over the poverty level provided the state finds substantial savings and reforms and Washington agrees to them. The House prefers deferring the expansion later.
Six negotiators each from the House and Senate continued talks late Thursday night despite a letter from Gov. Bob McDonnell Wednesday admonishing lawmakers not to expand Medicaid until major reforms are achieved at the state and federal levels.

How to Recover Second-Gen Bucket Seats - Part 2Written by on January 18, 2014 First-Class Seating - Completing the Project
In Part 1 of our seat restoration, we covered the teardown, provided an overview of the new parts, and began the reassembly of the '77 T/A Custom (aka Deluxe) bucket seats. The parts needed for the project were sourced from YearOne and the skilled hands of Kurt Reiche and Gil Monge, owner of Gillin Custom Design, performed the labor employing their decades of experience.
These articles can provide HPP readers not only with the basics of re-covering this type of seat, but also some tips to make the process go easier and result in a more professional looking product. So let's pick up where we left off last issue and complete the restoration of our T/A seats.
Careful application of heat via a heat gun removed unwanted wrinkles

|All prices are current as of May 2013.
Here are a few things to remember when re-covering your seats.
Gil says: "Cheap seat covers and foam quickly become more expensive if they fit poorly and require more labor to fix. Customers often believe that they need seat covers but not foam. Any vintage seat will always need new foam. When ordering these parts, get them from one place—don't mix and match products from different sources.
"It's best to clean and paint all the metal parts and address all hardware issues while the seats are apart, because it will be way more expensive and labor intensive if you have to attempt repairs after the new covers are on.
"Get professional-quality hog-ring pliers like we used in this story. Don't use the small ones that come with some seat reupholstery kits—your hands will thank you." (We already had a set from Eastwood (PN 50397) from a previous project.)
"Don't skip any steps in the process, as all are important. You will see the shortcuts in the final product."
Even though there are a lot of steps, re-covering your seats is not an overly difficult endeavor. Having patience, the right tools, and high-quality reproduction foam and covers will make the project go much smoother.

…and then primed and painted black to protect it from future rust. No, it's not concours-correct bare metal, but neither is it rusted bare metal. We'd rather have the paint than the rust. Here the foam and cover are ready to be attached to the frame. (Sometimes the seat tracks will need to be restored as well, but that's a story unto itself, which we aren't covering here.)The seat foam was placed on the frame, and hog-ring installation began at the back for the seat bottom. Some upholsterers like to glue the foam to the frame to hold it in place better while pulling the upholstery tight over it. Gil, however, prefers not to—he thinks the added moisture of the glue promotes rust on the frame, as other car seats he has disassembled that were glued showed rust where it was applied.With the seat turned over, the ends of the cover were pulled over the metal receivers on the frame to catch the plastic retainers. (Some may choose to first install a piece of carpet or carpet padding between the seat foam and the wires. Gil notes: "It used to be done to better distribute the pressure when the seat foam was compressed. However, with the quality of the new poly foam, I no longer feel that it's necessary.")Once done, the seat was turned over and the upholstery was worked with the foam by hand to position it properly and ensure the seams were in the correct places.Careful application of heat via a heat gun removed unwanted wrinkles. Setting the seat outside in the warm sun will accomplish the same goal—it will just take longer. We were working on a cold rainy day, so the heat gun was a better choice for our situation. If you use one, be very careful not to burn the upholstery. Keep the setting low and the gun moving at all times, and not too close to the material. Gil says, "Not every wrinkle will come out on the first pass with the heat gun. It may take multiple attempts. Check to see where wrinkles are coming from, as you may find that you have to adjust a hog ring if it's causing a wrinkle the heat gun can't remove."Once the cover was installed, holes were carefully cut in the sides with a razor blade to allow the hardware to pass through. (Before cutting the holes, make sure the cover is exactly as you want it so no adjustments will be needed after.)
As was done for the seat bottom, the seam was positioned flat and facing toward the outside of the seat to prevent bumps in the upholstery surface and wavy welting.Also like the seat bottom, the foam and the cover were worked by hand into the tight areas for a proper fit and seam placement.
The wire used to retain the hog rings was removed from the original seat cover and installed in the new one.Once the top was hog ringed in, the side piece could be pulled in to overlap the top piece where they meet.The long ends at the bottom were wrapped around each side, and hog rings will be installed through the two holes shown like it was for the other side (bottom right).Then the hog rings were installed for each side. Finally, upholstery adhesive was applied to the flap at the base to secure it and complete the seatback assembly.These brackets wrap around the arms that attach the seatback to the bottom; they provide a mounting point for the extended arms of the hard-shell cover. The ones that were used were stripped and repainted to protect them from rust.
The reproduction plastic seatback cover was installed, the screw holes were lined up on the arms, and the screws were inserted. (Note the chrome Mylar seat trim is not in place. Ours was too yellowed to reuse, and we didn't have the reproduction one on the day of the shoot. You can get it from some of the resto companies that advertise in HPP.)

I was inspired by the bus he owned, and the fact that everyone could hang out and make new acquaintances. I decided that once I had enough money my goal was to buy my own bus. I figured it would be a good avenue for me and my buddies to get together again, since it is hard to keep those relationships after college. At that point I realized season tickets were a must-have since I would come back for every home game.
"One of my friends who lives in Ankeny went out and decided to buy me an old bus. We tore all the seats out, and put in a bunch of couches and a television. We had it professionally painted in Ames, and now it has decals. Before the first game every football season I clean it out and get it ready for the games. For a time it was a work in progress, but after a while we worked things out. I really wanted to see more of both a family and a friendly atmosphere.
"A typical weekend is leaving work at noon on a Friday and getting to Iowa by the evening. We always get up early and get to the stadium as early as we can on Saturday morning. The drive from Colorado to Ames is 11 hours each way. Some of those times when we have three straight home games it is really tough. Sometimes I fly, but it depends. I enjoy the driving and tailgating part of it so much.
"In three years I have only missed two games; and both of those times I attended friends' weddings. It's never a lonely drive; I usually take someone along for the ride. So far everyone I have taken to the tailgate has come back with excitement and enjoyed it completely. There was even a guy that I brought along for a game one time, and now he is getting tickets for him and his family."
When did you attend your first Cyclone event?
"I was never a big Cyclone fan until I went to school there. The year 1989 would have been my first game – a football game against Ohio. When I was in school I worked at a golf course. On game days I would go into work, but we didn't do any work other than get ready for the game. His bus and his tailgating is what inspired me to do what I do today for football games."
What was your most memorable game that you attended?
"Most definitely my favorite game would have been the Insight.com Bowl in 2000. That was the year we beat Pittsburgh in Phoenix, Ariz.
"I have attended every bowl game since the Insight.com Bowl. The impact of that game was huge for Iowa State. It was such a big turnaround for a school that was never known for going to bowl games. I was happy to see us come from a team that had struggled a lot of years, to winning a bowl game. I've always said, even to my wife's chagrin, I would never miss a bowl game. So going to Boise, Idaho was a sight to see. It was very cold in Idaho, but the people were so nice. It was a different experience, but a fun one.
"We road tripped all the way down to Phoenix, where one of my college buddies had family down there. It was so crazy; the atmosphere was unlike any other. It wasn't great just because we won, but it was a really close game. I remember we were in a brand new stadium, and it was like nothing else. Iowa State put on a great pregame party for all the fans, and everybody was really excited. I actually brought down two Hawkeye friends for the festivities.
Name your favorite Cyclone road trip?
"Any of the times we beat the Hawks in Iowa City I can be happy for an entire year. I usually go to all of the games against Iowa, and they are the best road games. Iowa fans don't like it at all when we beat them, so it's fun to walk out of their stadium when that happens. Probably the most memorable game was when we beat them for the first time in 15 years (1998). Those days are so far removed now; both teams are on the same page.
"Another great road game was in Kansas City for the Eddie Robinson Classic (2002). That was Seneca's game, and he played so well against Florida State. That was really a game that we weren't supposed to have any chance in. And aside from everyone's views on the call at the end, it was just great to even be in contention against that formidable of an opponent."
Name some of your favorite coaches and players?
"Johnny Orr just seemed like the kind of guy that anyone could talk to. I met him down in Shreveport, La. and it was like he and I knew each other for years.
"Fred Hoiberg was playing when I was just leaving school. He seemed like such a class act; hard working, hard nose, and an all-around good person.
"Seneca Wallace was electrifying and made things exciting to watch, regardless of the score. One of the most exciting players Iowa State has had, and can really draw you into football games.
"Troy Davis has to be up there on my list as well. I just cherish Iowa State so much, and any player that brings that kind of positive notoriety to this school should be commended for what they did.
"My plan is to not miss any of the home football games from here on out. The games that I had missed were only because I was asked to be in weddings. I really don't think things are going to change for years to come. Regardless of where we live, we will always be Cyclone fans. The kids are starting to like the bus trip and they are getting to the point where they are appreciating everything going on.
"My best friend from Council Bluffs was at a photo shop one time and saw a print on the wall. It was a play when there was a touchdown against Nebraska. The thing is you can see us plain as day in the crowd. The camera shot shows that friend of mine, another one, and myself as well, in great quality. So just as I thought he would, he bought all three of us that photo."

Combat Pistol
Redirected from Deagle
this wiki
- "A compact, lightweight semi-automatic pistol designed for law enforcement and personal defense use. 12-round magazine with option to extend to 16 rounds."
- ―GTA V description on the Rockstar Games Social Club.
The Combat Pistol, appearing as Desert Eagle in the 3D Universe,is a pistol featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. In GTA V, it is manufactured by Hawk & Little.
It also appears in some cutscenes of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, but it is never available in normal gameplay.
Design and Performance
The Combat Pistol takes the form of a Desert Eagle in most games, and it is referred to as such in GTA San Andreas. It is far more powerful than the other pistols in the game (headshots with this weapon in GTA IV will release a large cloud of blood from the victim). It holds 7 rounds per magazine in San Andreas and 9 per magazine in GTA IV. It kills in very few shots most times in San Andreas; it takes 2 body shots when your skill is poor level; if your skill is gangster or hitman level you can kill non-armored NPCs in one shot and two for armored NPCs. The San Andreas Desert Eagle is modeled after the .50 caliber Desert Eagle while the GTA IV version is modeled after the .357 variant.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Combat Pistol is more powerful than the standard Pistol, but sacrifices ammunition capacity for it, holding only nine rounds in the magazine as opposed to seventeen rounds for the Pistol. The Combat Pistol can be purchased from any of the three gun shops in Liberty City for $1,500 and every additional magazine is $100, but cannot be purchased from Little Jacob. This, like all other pistols, can be fired from a car, but it's semi-automatic capabilities and 9 round magazine make it nearly useless in drive-by's and car chases in the eyes of some players. However, if you are skilled enough, you can take out rival drivers with a single well placed round. The Desert Eagle is more powerful than the Glock; however, the Glock has almost double the magazine capacity, allowing 17 rounds to be fired in the time it takes to fire all 9 shots including reloading from the Desert Eagle. The Desert Eagle takes about 3-4 shots to an unarmored NPC in the body to kill them. The Desert Eagle in GTA IV has a much higher fire rate than the GTA San Andreas Desert Eagle (it is the same as the Glock). Which is odd, as the Desert Eagle in real life does have a semi-automatic rate, but much slower than that of the Glock due to its heavy recoil.
In Grand Theft Auto V, the "Combat Pistol" now takes the form of a compact pistol that closely resembles an H&K P2000 combined with a Beretta Px4 Storm, that has very similar statistics to the normal Pistol (same rate of fire and magazine capacity). However, the actual Desert Eagle is available as the Pistol .50, to those who purchase either the special or collector's edition of the game. According to the lettering on the gun itself, the Combat Pistol in GTA V is chambered for 9mm ACB.

Follow this road northeast and look for the Angel Pine Junkyard on the left side of the road. Head down the dirt path and into the junkyard, and head to the heap of scrap in the middle of the junkyard. In front of the heap of scrap, there is an open warehouse with a cement truck inside. Head inside this warehouse and the Desert Eagle is in the southwest corner.

Tierra Robada
- Bayside Marina - In corner of wall behind house from the Gant Bridge, head north until you reach Bayside, and take the first right you come to. Follow the winding road round and take the first left. Immediately after turning left, look along the left side of the street for a row of posh white houses. Head behind the third house, and look along the back wall. The Desert Eagle is in the corner of the wall to the far right.

Turn right and pass under the railroad tracks, and look along the right side of the road for a trailer park opposite the Lil' Probe Inn bar. Head towards the trailer park and the Desert Eagle is under the middle solar panel on the east side of the trailer park.
Grand Theft Auto IV
- Schottler - Dropped by the manager of the Underground Gun Shop if attacked.
- Francis International Airport - Can be found at the oil refinery on Tudor St on a platform between two rows of oil refining towers. There is a ladder on the north side of these towers to reach the platform.
- Charge Island - Can be found underneath a walkway ramp on top of an oil storage tank in the oil refinery under the East Borough Bridge. It can be easily reached by jumping onto the tank from the Charge Island off-ramp before the toll booths from the Broker side.
- Bohan Industrial - Can be found on the westernmost segment of the uncompleted Northern Expressway. It can be easily reached by helicopter, or by taking a series of stunt jumps across the various segments.
- The Triangle - Can be found on the wall of the balcony of the west side of Grand Easton Terminal, nearest the Columbus Ave construction site.
- City Hall - Can be found on the ground near some planters at a café off Union Drive West.
- Chinatown - Dropped by the manager of the Underground Gun Shop if attacked.

In-game models
FPS Gallery
HUD icons
GTA Vice City
- The Desert Eagle can be seen in several different cutscenes in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City:
- In the mission Supply & Demand, Ricardo Diaz can be seen with a Desert Eagle during the cutscene where he shoots his video player.
- In the mission Rub Out, Lance Vance wields a regular Desert Eagle during the cutscene where he and Tommy gun down Diaz.
- In the mission The Shootist, Phil Cassidy can be seen dual-wielding two Desert Eagles during the cutscene at the shooting range, one of which he gives to Tommy (although Tommy uses a regular pistol during the competition).
GTA San Andreas
- The appearance of a .50 AE Desert Eagle in San Andreas is slightly anachronistic, as the model firing it first went on sale in 1995, while the game takes place in 1992. A .357 or .44 version would have been more accurate instead, since these two would fit in the game's setting.
- In GTA San Andreas, using the Adrenaline cheat code reveals that the firing sound for the Desert Eagle is the same as the Pistol but slowed down.
- It is possible to use a bug, to make the gun shoot faster. It is possible, by doing: Aim, fire, release both fire and aim, click Crouch button, and do the following again.
- The Desert Eagle in GTA IV, while not referred to as a "Desert Eagle" in-game, does feature a "Deagle 47" etching on its barrel.
- GTA IV's price of $1,500 is true to the Desert Eagle's actual retail value, as they usually go for $1,500-$2,200 for the .357-.50AE respectively. The gun in GTA IV is the .357 model, making the price accurate.
- You can get it free without cheating, at the beginning of GTA IV. You must first go to the weapon store, aim at the dealer's leg and shoot; he will draw his Desert Eagle. Kill him and pick up the weapon. Be warned, some guards armed with shotguns and MP5s will appear from around the corner. It is best to buy/bring a baseball bat, lock on and hit him multiple times. If he falls down on the first hit (he usually will), you can wait until you see the gun in his hand then beat him while he's on the floor. As long as no shots were fired, his well-armed buddies won't come around the corner and you can simply walk out with the pistol.
- In The Ballad of Gay Tony, at the start of the game, Luis has a Desert Eagle with 50 rounds of total ammunition.
- Michael De Santa on some occasions may prefer this weapon over the regular Pistol as he picks one up during Dead Man Walking, uses it during Fresh Meat when Franklin tosses him one, and if playing The Time's Come, will use it to shoot at Franklin.

We are in the planning stages of a migration of our Zimbra server from a physical server running under CentOS 4 32-bit to a VMware ESX 4.0 virtual machine which will be running under CentOS 5 64-bit. We are currently running Zimbra Version 6.0.5 FOSS edition.
I'm planning on using the info found in the wiki guide Network Edition: Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit Server to do the migration. Even though the wiki page specifically mentions the Network Edition my understanding is that the procedures will work for the FOSS Edition as well. I've also found a lot of good information in the forums regarding similar migrations.
However, there are a couple of things that I'd like to get some input on.
1) After reading the wiki guide my biggest concern is the length of downtime we will have during the migration process. With 250+ GB of data no matter what process I use to move the data it is going to take quite some time. I'm wondering if there is any way to "stage" the data ahead of time and then use something like rsync to refresh the data when we are ready to do the actual migration.
2) We are right now in the process of upgrading our VMware environment from version 3.5 to version 4.0. We haven't gotten into the nuts and bolts of version 4 yet, but my understanding is that there is new functionality with paravirtualized drivers for storage and networking. Does anyone know if a Zimbra installation can benefit from these new drivers?
If anyone has any thoughts, ideas, or experiences related to these two topics, or would like to share any other info on similar migrations it would be greatly appreciated.

|Christian-based films coming to the Peerless
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Starting Thursday, Feb. 7, the Peerless Theatre in Holyoke will be partnering with Christian Theatrical Releasing to bring faith-based and family films to the screen.
Peerless manager Bob Brandt said the full-length feature films will be shown on the first and third Thursdays at 7 p.m. and the following weekend at 4 p.m. matinees on Saturdays and Sundays.
The only exception to this will be when Fathom events have been scheduled during those time slots.
Brandt said the Peerless is very excited to be offering Christian-based cinematic content when they've seen the kind of response from the community for movies such as "Fireproof."
"It's obvious the audience support is there," said Brandt.
The first title that will be shown all six screenings in February is "The Sound of the Spirit."
As more feature films become available in CTR's catalog, Brandt said there could be two different films shown each month. But initially one film will be shown all month.
CTR's mission is to get Christian, faith-based and family films shown in movie theaters around the country. Ninety percent of Christian films go straight to DVD or digital distribution. CTR looks to offer a new alternative for filmmakers in this genre.
They are not a distribution company that looks to put out DVDs, Blu-ray or digital downloads. They are looking to work in conjunction with other companies to get these types of films into theaters.
The films will overwhelmingly be DVDs or Blu-rays, said Brandt. He emphasized this is unlike DVD series shown in the past at the Peerless, as CTR allows them to charge admission.
Through the agreement with CTR, a portion of the admission goes to CTR, a portion to the original production company and a portion to the Peerless.
Film titles for this faith-based and family series will be listed in the Peerless's weekly movie ad in The Holyoke Enterprise, as well as on the theater's website, thepeerlesstheatre.com.

Artist Spotlight: Frightened Rabbit
Genre: Folksy Indie Rock
Similar: We Were Promised Jetpacks, Mumford and Sons, Glasvegas
Interesting Fact: They're Scottish so good luck trying to take their freedom
Twitter: @FRabbits
What Is This?
People often ask what I went to school for when I tell them I can't find a job, and when I tell them "history," I can tell their first thought is "well, that makes sense." They then ask something along the lines of "do you want to be a teacher?" and I throw back "it's a option." Moral of the story; I'm useless outside of my above-average ability to write six page papers the night before they're due, and being able to throw out random, slightly relevant depending on the topic of conversation, facts of trivia like "the Boston Tea Party caused the Vietnam War!" That being said, I don't think my time spent taking classes about "Michigan In The Era of Industrialization" and the "History of Modern East Asia" are useless. Case in point, "Scotland Since 1603: History and Culture" exposed me to a good bit of music, movies, literature and theatre (watch Black Watch, it's awesome). I can also name AND locate all 33 historical counties of Scotland, so at least I have that going for me. Which is nice.
As I said yesterday, Frightened Rabbit's music is generally of the upbeat variety but at the same time, I can't be entirely sure of that because the accent kind of masks what the lead singer says (don't take that as meaning the accent is heavy, cause it's not, it's just so pleasant sounding). I ended up going through some of the lyrics after catching myself butchering the Scottish accent while singing lines from the song "Keep Yourself Warm" which go, "It takes more than fucking someone you don't know to keep yourself warm."
That's just cold.
Not that I have any problem with the use of swearing because lord knows that I fucking love to swear, but it kind of caught me off guard. True story, I found myself singing that part and thinking to myself "what the hell am I saying? Did I just make this song up? I'm a lyrical fucking savant" I ended up googling the lyric, lo and behold it was a song that I knew by name but never actually listened to the lyrics. The point I'm trying to make here is that I spent some time and effort listening to the words themselves and I gained a new appreciation for Frightened Rabbit. Their lyrics are actual lyrics and not just words strewn together, which, I guess is the same thing but who's counting?
I'm not going to try a decipher what their songs are about, not that they need deciphering, because I'm terrible at that (someone once convinced me that "Hey Man, Nice Shot" by Filter was about bunch of stoners that kicked a dog. Turns out the song is about the suicide of a public official. Whatever, close enough. Tomato, tomato.) but with that being said, some of the prevalent themes are sex, relationships, loneliness and leprosy. I don't know about you but I'm particularly fond of the latter theme.
Like I've mentioned a couple times before, most of their stuff sounds pretty cheerful but they also have a handful of softer songs ("Poke" is pretty damn good, if that's what you're into). This sounds awkward to type/say but the best way I can sum up Frightened Rabbit is by saying it's life music. Frightened Rabbit would probably make a good soundtrack to your life in an indie kind of way (It would fit well in a movie like (500) Days of Summer). They signed with Atlantic Records last year so expect them to continue their ascent into the mainstream.
Sing the Greys, The Midnight Organ Fight and The Winter of Mixed Drinksare their three studio albums but they also released a new EP on October 19th that you can download for free if you sign up for their mailing list. All their albums have been very well received by the critics and I second that. This shit is good.

Hannaford's "Close To Home" recipes from Ricker Hill Orchards can also be found in the 207 Kitchen page of our website.
Peg-Leg Banana Cranberry Bread
1 large egg 2 cups all-purpose flour
2 ripe bananas, mashed ½ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup white sugar ½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla 2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup butter or margarine, melted ½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh cranberries
1 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg, add bananas, white and brown sugars, vanilla and butter. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, a little at a time, blending well. Fold in the cranberries and nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan. Cool completely before cutting.
Because of his wooden leg, New Jersey cranberry grower John "Peg-Leg" Webb could not carry his berries down from the loft of his barn where he stored them. Instead, he would pour them down the steps. He soon noticed that only the firmest fruit bounced down to the bottom, while the poorest berries stayed on the steps. His observation led to the discovery of the cranberry separating machine, which is patented on the "bounce principal." Good firm cranberries bounce, damaged soft berries do not.
This recipe is from Cranberry Cooking For All Seasons by Nancy Cappelloni 2002
Fresh Cranberry Sauce
1 bag fresh Ricker Hill cranberries
1 - 1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup Sauvignon Blanc white wine
1 cinnamon stick
Rinse cranberries and remove any stems or duds. Place in a small cooking pan, add the sugar, wine and cinnamon stick. Boil gently for about 9-12 minutes, berries will have split, and sauce thickened. Remove from heat and immediately lift out the cinnamon stick. Chill and serve. Sauce may be made up to 3 days ahead. It is wonderful as a topping on cheese cake, over vanilla ice cream, with apple pie or with peanut butter in a sandwich, and is of course an important dish on a Thanksgiving menu.
This recipe was given to me by Ruth Straehle, a German American friend.
Apple-Cranberry-Pear Crisp
Filling: Topping:
4 cups Cortland apples 1 cup brown sugar
2 Bosc pears 1 ¼ cups flour
1 12 ounce bag fresh cranberries 1 cup rolled oats

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Lightly grease a 9"x13" baking pan. In a large bowl mix the sliced apples and pears. Rinse the cranberries under cold water, discarding any that are inferior, then add them to the apple-pear mixture along with the sugar and cinnamon. Place mixture in the baking pan. Combine brown sugar, flour, oats and salt in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter and shortning until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over fruit and pat down evenly. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 30 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

As well as making good sense, it is a condition of booking that you are adequately insured. This can be done by taking out our travel insurance, or proving that you already have sufficient cover in place by providing the name of your insurer and the policy number.
Please note that the European Health Insurance Card (the old E111) is not a substitute for medical insurance. This card gives you access to the same state provided healthcare as a resident of the EU country you are visiting. Cover varies from country to country but usually does not pay for such things as ambulances, rescue and repatriation or even the full cost of a hospital stay or prescribed drugs. It also does not provide any cover for cancellation, travel delay and disruption or your personal belongings.

House prices are inching up. But is this a cause for much cheer? Or are we watching the same movie again? Recall how after a decade-long boom, house prices started to fall in 2006, first in the United States and then elsewhere, contributing to the 2008-9 global financial crisis. In fact, our research indicates that boom-bust patterns in house prices preceded more than two-thirds of the recent 50 systemic banking crises.
While a recovery in the housing market (Figure 1) is surely a welcome development, we need to guard against another unsustainable boom. Housing is an essential sector of every country's economy and has systemic implications, which is why we at the IMF are focusing on it not only in individual countries but on a cross-country basis.

Boat shop owner accused of swindling clients
Published: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 6:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 6:03 p.m.
BELLEVIEW — A boat shop owner accused of swindling clients was arrested Friday.
Until a month ago, Richard Lee Newbrey, 56, was the owner of Belleview Discount Marine, 12401 S. U.S. 441.
Marion County Sheriff's Detective Brandon Spillman said Newbrey moved the business to Summerfield and re-named it Village Boat Shop.
The owners of a 2001 fiberglass boat and a 2007 trailer worth more than $20,000 told authorities they asked Newbrey to sell the two items and keep a 10 percent commission.
The owners said between August 2011 and May 2012 Newbrey recommended they reduce the price. The sellers agreed, according to the detective's report. A copy of the boat's registration was given to Newbrey in case a customer wanted to take the boat for a test drive.
In July, a friend of the couple drove by the store and did not see the boat. The couple learned the boat had been sold, the report said.
Newbrey told the victims the boat had been sold. He eventually handed over a check for $12,000, but bank officials said the account was closed, the report said.
The couple later found out that someone had forged a power-of-attorney document and a new title had been issued under a name not known to them. The detective learned the buyer had paid $15,134 for the items.
Records obtained by Spillman showed Newbrey cashed seven of his business checks for $11,034 and used the money for personal business.
While investigating that case, the detective received another complaint. A man and his son said they met Newbrey at his business in June to see if he could a sell a 1995 Bass Tracker boat and trailer valued at $5,000.
The man and son experienced similar problems with Newbrey, where a power-of-attorney had been forged and title issued under a name not familiar to them, the report said.
A buyer paid $3,730 for the boat. Records later showed the check was deposited into Newbrey's checking account and checks were written for cash by Newbrey in the amount of $3,300.
A third person told the detective she had taken her 2000 fiberglass boat and trailer worth $7,500 for repairs and then sale.
She encountered a similar fate, the report said.
The case was reviewed at the State Attorney's Office and a warrant was issued for Newbrey's arrest.
Court records show that, in October, four cases of grand theft were either dropped or abandoned against Newbrey. He entered a pre-trial diversion program for organized fraud in the same case.
Anyone with information about these or similar cases can call Spillman at 438-5940, Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.

By this monday, we are ready to go live with Zimbra CS replacing the old MS Exchange.
Our clients are fully mobile, so they are absolutely need to access their mailbox using a mobile device. And the most visible solution right now is using Zimbra J2ME client.
Today I tried to download the generic j2me client, and copy it to my mobile phone. But I got an application error message. It seems that it cannot find the jar file.
Where can I get this generic jar file?
Please help as this migration phase is very important to us, and we have decided to move to Zimbra Professional if this migration phase success.


text: I could never ghost...not because of lack of skill or patience..just because it was so **** unrealistic. It just doesn't happen...requires me to exploit the games to ridiculous levels and breaks immersion thus destroying my fantasy. I try to keep it as real life as possible (Irony..I see it) especially in realistic stealth games.

Should Your Teen Be Allowed to Buy a Real 'Lightsaber'
The Spyder III Arctic Pro is a hand-held laser that looks remarkably like a lightsaber. That wouldn't be a problem, if it weren't almost as much of a menace as the fictional weapon. And with lasers getting rapidly more powerful and less expensive, regulation is falling behind.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- WUSA 9 has learned that the family of Robert "Ethan" Saylor has filed a lawsuit against three deputies, Frederick County Sheriff's Department, the Regal Cinema and the property manager for negligence in regards to his death. The lawsuit cities that negligence caused Saylor to die a "violent, terrifying, and painful" death.
Saylor died in police custody in January after three deputies, moonlighting as movie theater security, removed him from a Frederick movie theater for not having a $12 ticket.
Saylor had Down syndrome. His health aide was with him the night that he died. She says, "I kept telling them why don't you just let me go in there and give me a few minutes with him? I'd just give him a big hug and he'd be right out, but they wouldn't listen to me."
The aide told WUSA 9 that Ethan became angry after they both went to see the film Zero Dark Thirty. She said he liked it so much, he wanted to see it again. She said Ethan went right back into the theater to see the movie for the second time, even though he didn't have ticket. Then she said this of the deputies, working as security, "They said he had to leave right now."
She said security would not let her in, made her wait in the lobby, "All of a sudden, I hear kicking and screaming, and 'ouch, Mary, Mom, that hurts, don't touch me, get off' and so I run in and I'm crying hysterically. I didn't really know what to do. I see him jumping up in the air, and screaming, so I turn around because I was scared, and I turned back around, and all of a sudden they're on the floor, and after all the noise, it was just completely silent. They have three handcuffs on him."
The aid told us the ambulances came, and she followed to the hospital, "About an hour, an hour and a half later, his mom comes out and tells me that he passed away."
The medical examiner ruled Ethan Saylor's death a homicide via asphyxiation.
A grand jury later found no wrongdoing on the part of the deputies. Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins said he stands by the three deputies in whose custody Ethan died. He also said he believed his men did not use excessive force, and that a Justice Department investigation would exonerate the deputies.
Word spread about Ethan Saylor's death. Maryland Delegate and Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Heather Mizeur spoke out for justice for Ethan, "It turns out that under the ADA laws, a caretaker doesn't need to have a ticket with someone with a disability at a movie theater anyway, so the two tickets that were purchased for Ethan and his caretaker would have been sufficient for him to stay a second time."
Mizeur wrote a letter to Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley asking for his help, "We can train our public safety officials and all of our public employees in the community at large to have a better understanding of how to address our neighbors that have intellectual disabilities."
Emma Saylor launched a change.org petition asking for an independent investigation into the death of her brother. More than 340,000 signatures were later delivered to Gov. Martin O'Malley. Maryland Senator Brian Frosh also asked the governor to take action.
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley met with the family in September. Robert Ethan Saylor's mother Patti told reporters that O'Malley spoke about taking action to require police training about people with Down syndrome. She also said O'Malley would consider the family's plea for an independent investigation of Saylor's death.
A day later, WUSA 9 spoke to John Firman at the International Association of Chiefs of Police. He was overjoyed at the Governor O'Malley's response to the pleas of Ethan Saylor's family. "Police have to have more help, more training, more policies, more support, more funding support, more mental health in the community."
The association published a report three years ago urging police agencies nationwide to develop crisis intervention teams to help officers in encounters like the one at a Frederick movie theater that left Saylor dead, asphyxiated in three sets of police handcuffs.
The association suggested that if officers have time, they should consult the people who know the subject.
"If police have the time and no one is being threatened, but she's lost control, as they come into the house, they take that precious few moments to get information from that mother who is fully informed. Then when they get up the stairs their likelihood of successful intervention is very high," says Firman. "If they move right by the mom and skip all that information and run up the stairs, then the likelihood goes the other way."
Meanwhile, Justice for Ethan supporters continued to ask Gov. O'Malley to launch an independent investigation into Saylor's death. On Sept. 17, O'Malley issued an Executive Order to improve training to help law enforcement personnel, paramedics, and other first responders better respond to situations involving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities ("IDD"). It created the Maryland Commission for Effective Community Inclusion of Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
SEE THE EXECUTIVE ORDER HERE: http://www.governor.maryland.gov/documents/saylorexecutiveorder.pdf
The commission's deadline for submitting an initial report addressing Maryland's law enforcement guidelines and statewide training standards was set for January 9, 2014, which would have been Saylor's 27th birthday.
Following the executive order, Ethan Saylor's mother issued a statement, saying, "Our family commends Governor O'Malley and his administration for listening to our call for action by establishing this important Commission. The Commission is one piece toward ensuring what happened to my son, Ethan, never happens to a member of the disability community again. Ethan deserved to be a welcomed member of our community, as do all people with IDD. I look forward to working with Dr. Shriver and the Commission as they move forward in their vital work."
Then, on Oct. 17, Ethan Saylor's parents filed a lawsuit alleging that "If any of the Defendants had heeded Mr. Saylor's aide as to how to deal with Mr. Saylor, his tragic and unnecessary death would have been avoided." The lawsuit names the three deputies working that night.
SEE THE LAWSUIT HERE: http://on.wusa9.com/1aRZYhc
The lawsuit also alleges that the Regal Cinema employee that asks the deputies working as movie security to remove Ethan Saylor was negligent.
After the family filed the lawsuit, Sheriff Chuck Jenkins said the lawsuit doesn't surprise him. He refutes and disputes that there was any negligence on the part of the three deputies on the night in question. He also said there was no excessive force used whatsoever, that the deputies' actions were not inappropriate, and that their actions were reasonable under circumstances
To the best of the sheriff's knowledge, he says the three deputies underwent every type of training available, including training on how to deal with individuals with autism, but that there is no formal type of training to deal with that particular mental disability, and that's why the governor set up his commission.
WUSA 9's Debra Alfarone will have more information on this latest development on the news later this evening.

Following up on PSIDPatch and PSNope, today PlayStation 3 homebrew developer KW (via kokotonix) has released a PS3 application he calls PSN Patch v1.01 followed by v1.03 and v1.05 for Custom Firmware, which allows users to temporarily disable their CFW, spoof their Console ID and more as detailed below.
Download: PSNpatch.zip / psnpatch 1_03_5.zip / psnpatch 1_03_5b.rar / PSNpatch_105.zip
To quote: This is a small app made by KW and inspired in the works of stoker25 (psidpatch) and user (psnope).
The major objective is to spoof the console Id and disable cfw syscalls extensions in order to make your system more "safe" to go into the psn. (Note that MORE safe doesn't mean IT IS safe !).
Additionally, you can also sign RAPs into RIFs. Starting from psidpatch simple interface with the functionalities of psnope. New algorithms specially made for CFW disable and valid user account search.
Major Functions:
- Spoof IDPS (console ID) **
- Spoof PSID **
- Disable cfw syscalls (emulates official firmware) **
- Deletes game launch history (deletes the records of the last games used);
- Sign Rap into RIF.
** These actions are temporary until next system reboot.
How to use:
- Just install and run. A simple interface will guide you through.
- You can execute the app directly after install.
- This will allow you to remove cfw syscalls and delete execution history.
- Removing syscall will simulate a official firmware version improving protection level against PSN bans.
- Note that after doing this, some homebrew programs (like multiman) will refuse to execute.
- Just mount the game backup you want BEFORE using PSNPATCH to disable cfw.
- After CFW is disabled you can play the mounted game backup but cannot mount another one.
- This "cfw disabling" will only be active until next ps3 reboot.
Press Triangle - 3 beeps will inform of the cfw removal success.
If you want to spoof idps and psid, you need to the edit the PSNPATCH.cfg file (see example). PSNPATCH will scan 2 locations in the following order:
1.) /dev_usb000/PSNPATCH.cfg
2.) /dev_hdd0/game/PSNP11001/USRDIR/PSNPATCH.cfg"
Press X just to spoof both idps and psid.
Press L1 to do a "ALL IN ONE": Spoof idps and psid, disable cfw syscalls and delete execution history. 3 beeps will inform of the success disabling cfw.
- When PSNPATCH starts, it will search for the first valid user account (usually it will be '1', but it can be a different value).
- Place the RAPS in the folder configured in PSNPATCH.cfg (usually /dev_usb0/exdata/ in a usb stick placed on the right most ps3 port).
- Press Square - a log will be displayed on-screen listing the processed files.
- If you don't want the user interface, just execute PSNPATCH and keep pressed L1 or Triangle until 3 beeps or get back to the XMB.
When PSNPATCH starts, it will search for the first valid user account (usually it will be '1', but it can be a different value).
Place RAPs and/or EDATs in the folder configured in PSNPATCH.cfg (usually /dev_usb0/exdata/ in a usb stick placed on the right most ps3 port).
Press L1 - a log will be displayed on-screen listing the processed games by file type
- Note 1: Advisable not process more than 20 files at the same time.
- Note 2: Once the RAPs and EDATs are installed, you can remove them form the USB stick.
- Note 3: RAPs and EDATs are installed in one user account but available to all users.
- Note 4: RAPs are installed with the current IDPS (original or spoofed) and will only work with that IDPS active !
- Note 5: EDATs are IDPS independent.
PSNpatch can unlock game demos of c00 type. For each unlocked game there will be created a new EDAT. Press R1 - A list of unlocked games will be displayed on screen.
- PSNPATCH should be compatible with every 4.XX version.
- It is independent of the CFW "flavour" (rebug, rogero, habib, steve, etc).
- Tested with 4.21, 4.25, 4.30, 4.41, 4.46 and 4.50.
- It should be compatible with future firmware releases, as it uses standard syscalls to process the spoofing method.
- It does the cfw disabling by searching and disabling the known "unofficial"syscalls 6,7,8,9,10,35,36. Equal to every 4.X firmware until now.
IF you want to be sure psnpatch works in your system:
- Edit pasnpatch.cfg to define new idps and psid. Put it in the root of a usb stick and place it in the rightmost ps3 usb port.
- Run psnpatch keeping L1 pressed until you ear 3 beeps or got back to XMB.
- If the system beeped, it means that the cfw disabling was successful.
- You can re-run psnpatch. It should give you an error complaining about cfw syscalls not found and it will display the current idps and psid values.
- You can also run Multiman, Irismanager or any other syscall-dependent homebrew: they will all complain about an unsupported firmware version
- Never execute any homebrew WHILE connected to the PSN !
- And the safest way to keep being banned is to be offline !!!
- Stoker25 for psidpatch.
- User for psnope.
Version 1.03 (28/10/2013) Changelog:
- Disable CFW (2 complementary algorithms);
- Delete execution history (at psnpatch startup);
- Install EDATs;
- Unlock PSN (C00) game demos;
- Left/Right selects between valid user accounts (displaying user name);
WARNING: New button mapping (to accommodate newer functions).
Version 1.05 Changelog:
PSNpatch 1.05 for 4.XX CFW & COBRA 7.0
- ADDED SUPPORT FOR CFW disabling in COBRA 7.0;
- STEALTH version;
- cfg file adjusted to support stealth version;
