Miami Dolphins: Lessons learned from the NFL Combine
In honor of the Dan Marino curse, which could be ending this year (cross your finger….that coin flip was a good sign) I'll be offering up a sacrifice of the 13 things we learned at the NFL Combine.
1. Don't be fooled. The Rams are more desperate to trade the No. 2 pick than teams are to land Robert Griffin III. The Rams need plenty of talented players, and don't have the assets (cap space, draft picks) to make it happen. They would be smart to trade the No. 2 pick before Peyton Manning is released on March 8, and free agency starts on March 13 because by then there will be less teams bidding. The Dolphins should make one solid offer in a take it or leave it manner, and have a date where it's off the table.
2. Seattle isn't aggressively looking for a quarterback, and the Cleveland Browns aren't as fond of Robert Griffin III as people want to make it seem. I'm told the Browns actually favor signing Matt Flynn, who already knows the west coast offense, and would prefer to use their two first-round picks. Why? Because its easier to draft young top end talent than get free agents to sign in Cleveland.
3. The Packers have not decided if they'll franchise Matt Flynn, guaranteeing him $14.4 million for next season. Green Bay's scared to death they'll franchise him and get stuck with a expensive backup to Aaron Rodgers. Miami's flirtation with Peyton Manning is complicating things because the Packers aren't sure they can flip Flynn for a second-round pick. I keep saying it, tag him and you keep him, which would handcuff the Packers from making free agent moves. This is becoming a really good game of poker, and someone will blink eventually. I believe March 5th is the final day players can be tagged.
4. Don't be shocked if Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins skyrockets up the draft board. Cousins has the moxie, leadership and intangibles that become infectious. He's battling with Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden to become the fourth quarterback taken in the 2012 draft. Weeden's arm is elite, but his footwork is troublesome I'm told. Cousins is solid in everything, but has no elite traits. However, his personality and intangibles is off the charts. He graduated high school No. 1 in his class, with a perfect 4.0 GPA. He was named a captain his sophomore season at Michigan State, where he majored in kinesiology. He's a developmental project, but teams believe he'll be good with some grooming. If Miami lands Manning they should look into taking Cousins in the mid-to-later rounds. But I doubt he's there past the third.
5. Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon's stock is dropping a little. Most teams expected Brandon Marshall and what they got was Brandon Lloyd because he's 6-foot. That's right, he's actually smaller than Brian Hartline, who is 6-2 and 200 pounds. Saw it with my own eyes. Nobody is saying that Blackmon can't play, or isn't a stud. But if Blackmon doesn't run a 40-yard dash time that's in the mid to low 4.5's at his Pro Day his stock is going to plummet.
6. Defensive end Quinton Coples knows he needs an image makeover. He knows the film clearly shows he played to not get hurt in his senior season at North Carolina. Player who make a business decision like that usually do it again, and again. That's why teams are hesitant about declaring him one of this draft's elite talent. Athletically Coples is a freak of nature. But coaches are scared of players who easily turn it on and off. I'd rather have a undersized player like South Carolina's Melvin Ingram, who has a Ferrari motor, than a Bentley with a Honda engine.
7. The draft class of tight ends and safeties is weak. Plenty of the tight ends are just a guy. And just about every talented safety is a strong safety, which the Dolphins don't need considering Yeremiah Bell will be here in 2012 since the Dolphins realize they can't afford to lose the leadership he brings to a young secondary.
8. Alabama tailback Trent Richardson is a horse. His upper body is HUGE. He's diesel. Tremendously impressive for a compact guy. Think Maurice Jones-Drew but bigger. His personality was also impressive. But the fact I don't know how fast he is prevents me from putting him on the 2012 man crush list. However, like I pointed out last season when watching mediocre tape of Mark Ingram, I kept seeing this tailback making dynamic plays and thinking it was Ingram. Then I realized it was Richardson, and concluded he was the best tailback on the team. That's why Ricardson is the one elite prospect I'd say the Dolphins can't pass up if he's there at No. 8. Reggie Bush is a free agent next year, and Daniel Thomas didn't show enough to guarantee he'll be good.
9. As Sun-Sentinel columnist Dave Hyde so accurately pointed out, Manning plans to take the band with him to his next stop. The word on the street is that Manning's not playing around, and he wants the band to be assembled so he can make one last Super Bowl run. That means anywhere he lands Jeff Saturday, Reggie Wayne and maybe even Jacob Tamme will follow. Saturday will likely sign for the minimum, but the Dolphins will need to restructure some deals to make room for Wayne. One thing that concerns me about Wayne is he typically just plays on one side, and that might impact how the offense flows.
10. Dolphins nose tackle Paul Soliai is as good as gone. He won't be tagged, and he'll be signing elsewhere, possibly landing with a team that will play him on every down. Soliai will be one of the biggest free agency winners. The Dolphins and Soliai's agent are no where close to a deal, and the Dolphins plan to put Randy Starks in Soliai's role. There's still a chance the Dolphins could retain defensive end Kendall Langford, but the pulse is faint. Teams like Atlanta and Chicago will likely show Miami's three year starter some love on March 13.
11. The best approach for the Dolphins to rebuild the offensive line would be to sign a solid veteran tackle (maybe retaining Vernon Carey and putting him back at right tackle) and draft an offensive guard. My vote goes to Giants free agent Kareem McKenzie, who is 33 and coming off a disappointing season. But last year he was the NFL's best offensive tackle. I'm personally not a fan of Iowa's Riley Reiff, who didn't pass the eyeball test for various reasons (alligator arms, pot belly). He lacks elite athletic ability, therefore won't/shouldn't be viewed as a top 10 pick, and might be better at offensive guard. I also suspect Lydon Murtha could do a better job than many of the second-tier talents. The offensive guard class is talented and deep. Miami will take one who is athletic. If the Dolphins sign Saturday they could easily move Mike Pouncey to guard.
12. There are PLENTY of talented receivers in free agency, and their price will drop because of the numerous talented receivers in this draft class. I'm told the 2012 draft is about five rounds deep in talented receivers. We're talking about a draft where studs like UM's Tommy Streeter, a 6-5 receiver who ran a sub 4.4 40-time, could go in the fourth round. It would be wise for the Dolphins to take advantage of the overstocked receiver market, either in the draft or free agency. I like Brian Hartline, and don't think he gets the respect he deserves for making many dynamic catches during his career. But Hartline's a free agent in 2013, and the Dolphins will need five solid receivers moving forward.
13. The NFL Combine is a tricky place. The interview process is far more important than the on-field workouts, and the foundation of plenty of deals are laid UNOFFICIALLY. It's just part of the process, but is a tricky one to navigate. Plenty of misinformation is delivered, and plenty of smokescreens produced. Anyone who tells you with certainty that they know what the Miami Dolphins are doing – or will do – is a liar.
So don't take anything you read anywhere – including this space – as the gospel because the Dolphins don't have loose lips, and you'll need a good BS meter to determine what's real and what's silicone from what we do hear.

Pretty much the subject says it all. How can I make a task repeat on the end of each month in google calendar.
migrated from superuser.com Jan 4 '11 at 15:20
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
tpuiatti's answer from this thread was the only one that worked for me:
Paste the following text into a new .txt file (e.g. with notepad):
Behind both
On your Google Calendar, go to Settings under My Calendars in the left sidebar. Click Import Calendar and upload your .txt file. (It will not create a new calendar, but rather add the event to an existing calendar.)
Your event now appears on the 30th or 31st (or 28th, 29th) of each month, depending on the month.
You can also schedule it for the last business day by dropping SU and SA in the BYDAY.
You can still edit the name and time of the event (the UI is a bit glitchy, messing up your dates by default, but it works), but you cannot edit the recurrence: "This event has a recurrence rule that cannot be edited in Google Calendar"
Another partial solution that may work for some folks: Create the repeating event for the first day of every month, then add a reminder for one day in advance. Then you'll receive at a notice regarding the event at the appropriate time. Of course this doesn't help if you need the time to show as busy.
You can do this with the OS X Calendar app.
First, sync your Google Calendar with OS X Calendar.
Then create an event series that occurs on the last day of every month and wait for it to sync to Google Calendar.
This answer worked for me:
From http://blog.stevenocchipinti.com/2012/05/google-calendar-repeating-event-on-last.html/
To set an recurring event on day 30 of each month, or Feb 28 or Feb 29 (in a leap year), being any workday, adjust and import the following
A highly similar and more general question is "how to make an event repeat on the last [x] day of each month". As this person noted, you need to find a month with the max number of weeks (five) and then set it based on the day of the month. If the initial month doesn't have the max number of weeks, it will repeat on the fourth week rather than the last week.

On June 6, 2013 Mr. Noga was headed Ewa bound exiting the H1 freeway and struck a vehicle stopped at the red light with 2 passengers and a service dog. Mr. Noga also known as Alapati Iosefo Noga was not in possession of automobile insurance or proper auto registration and was cited by the Honolulu Police Dept. The passenger and driver sustained minor injuries and the service dog was thrown behind the seats and traumatized by the event. Mr. Noga, to date, one year later has not made restitution to either of the parties for injuries or damage to the other parties vehicle and to make matters worse the case was dismissed in court and listed as
Case ID: 1DTC-13-034496 - State v. Alapati I Noga -NON JURY-
Type: TC - Traffic Crime
Status: CLOSEDS - Closed Case-Judgment Satisfied.
At the scene Mr. Noga claimed that he did not see the car he rear ended and apologized to the driver saying he hit her car pretty hard. Mr. Noga has a long public record of traffic violations and inquiring minds wonder if there have ever been any other accidents involving pets being injured.

Do animals have rights in an automobile accident? Can they seek judgment for mental or physical injuries caused by a careless driver? Wesley Smith thinks there will be a time when animals can sue people and have advocates represent them.
"Animal standing also has a philosophical purpose. The ultimate goal of animal rights is not merely the improved treatment of animals; that effort is properly called animal welfare. Animal-rights dogma holds that there is no moral distinction to be made between animals and humans, and therefore what is done to an animal should be viewed as if it were done to a human." Wesley Smith

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Post to the Host
Host Garrison Keillor answers your questions about life, love, writing, authors, and of course, A Prairie Home Companion.
Dear Mr. Keillor, I am
April 8, 2004 |
Dear Mr. Keillor,
I am a soon-to-retire 6th grade teacher in a public school system always troubled by money problems and general angst. My career has gone by in a flash, and I forgot to get married. I am looking toward a nice place to retire. Are there really bachelor farmers from Norway in Minnesota? Are there any about my age?
The bachelor farmers I talk about on the show (whose grandparents came from Norway) are not people you'd want to get mixed up with, but probably there are plenty of nice bachelors your age, some of whom might even be farmers, and I recommend the Internet as the net with which to go fishing for them. You're a teacher and you can tell a great deal about someone by their writing style and the Internet gives you a chance to examine this at your leisure without having the subject breathing at you across a table. And you can ask direct questions and raise sensitive subjects. And you can tell if somebody has a sense of humor. There are plenty of websites where single people can find each other. Make this a research project.

How do I ease my 3 year old's fear of thunder?
If my three year old hears thunder (loud or muffled) he gets so upset. He won't sleep, he screams until the entire house is awake. Does anyone have any ideas?

My 3 year old daughter is afraid of loud noises in general so she is afraid of thunder too. We talk a lot about what causes rain, lightening, and thunder and we do this on days that aren't stormy so that she isn't preoccupied with her fears about it. The more she understands what causes it, the less fear she has. But, she is still afraid during loud thunderstorms and I expect that will be the case for a while.posted 01/08/2013 by agent2187
We recently watched Daniel Tiger' Neighborhood. There was an episode about storms with thunder. The mother said to think of something happy when something scares you. So when my two year old became frightened of thunder I reminded her of this episode and reminded her to think of something happy. I gave her several ideas that made her happy and that has helped tremendously. BTW the show is on PBS just check your local listing for times and dates. I highly recommend the showposted 02/25/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

Work, Intern, Volunteer, Teach Abroad
Work, Intern, Volunteer and Teach programs are generally non-academic and not for credit and give students/graduates the opportunity to expand their international experience beyond study abroad.
Definitions of Opportunities Abroad
Work Programs
Purpose: Get paid while immersing yourself culturally/linguistically immersed (not a careers placement).
Credit: No academic credit.
Finances: Get paid. No financial aid available.
Other: Some programs offer assistance with work visas. Some programs place you in specific jobs.
Internship Programs
Purpose: Gain work experience related to your major or future career. Common fields are communications, business, international relations, social welfare, social policy, marketing, journalism, engineering, computer science, theater, health…and more.
Credit: Some are part of study programs, if so, credit is available for the study component. No academic credit for internships without a study component.
Finances: Those that are part of a study program will require tuition fees. Financial aid is available for the study component. Those not attached to a study program are often unpaid, but some offer compensation (e.g. room & board or a stipend).
Volunteer Programs
Purpose: Provide assistance in areas such as community development, social services, child care, elder care, public health, nature conservation, sustainable development, teaching English, women's empowerment, peace building, etc.
Credit: No academic credit.
Finances: Usually unpaid but some offer compensation (e.g. room & board). Scholarships may be available.
Teaching English Programs
Purpose: Gain experience teaching English as a second language.
Credit: No academic credit.
Finances: Usually paid. No financial aid available.

Information from University of California at Irvine, Study Abroad Center.
Choosing a Program
The IVPA Principles and Practices are criteria developed by the International Volunteer Programs Association (IVPA) to give prospective volunteers a reliable basis on which to choose worthwhile program experiences. Once you identify a program of interest, ask as many questions as necessary to gain a thorough understanding of it. The more you know, the better your chances of not being disappointed once you arrive on site. Some questions you may want to consider asking the program staff include:
- How far in advance do I need to apply?
- When will I be notified of my placement or acceptance?
- What does the program fee cover? What additional expenses can I expect that are not included in the fee?
- Can I contact past participants?
- What is the daily and weekly work schedule?
- Who will be my coworkers and supervisor?
- What kind of supervision or guidance will I receive?
- How much can I expect to be paid weekly or monthly?
- Where will I live and with whom will I live?
- Will I receive pre-departure information?
- Is there an in-country orientation?
Then ask yourself: Are my expectations realistic? Can this program provide the kind of experience I am looking for?

Christmas trees made out of all sorts at festival
Visitors to Wraysbury's St Andrew's Church must have felt like they were in a forest at the weekend.
A Christmas tree festival organised by the church and the Wraysbury Primary School Parents Teachers Friends Association attracted 70 entrants.
Each class in the school entered a tree, as well as businesses and residents in the village.
People certainly used their imaginations. Polystyrene cups and latex gloves were among the ingredients used to make the trees.
But the children from Horton-based Pumpkin pre-school went for the more traditional twigs. Their tree - named Twiggy - won the competition as best entry. But there were also winners across a variety of classes and sections.
The event was spread over Friday and Saturday. Children from the school sang on the first day and the church choir serenaded visitors on the second.
Emily Larcombe masterminded the event.See more Christmas news

I had the same issue with my daughter. She understood how to sit and would even sit long enough to pee but as soon as she got off she would go #2. It may depend on her age sometimes trying to early won't work if she's not ready no matter what you do, but if she is already showing the signs of readiness then maybe try something creative like decorating her potty chair or the toilet, this can change her mind about the toilet and "warm" her up to it..

Many churches conduct animal blessings on his feast day. * SmallNameBigEgo: He fancies himself as a Shakespearian actor material and high class, despite being another homeless mutt.* TheSmartGuy * VitriolicBestBuds: With Tito. * WoundedGazelleGambit: Plays dead in front of Jenny's limo to distract Winston long enough for Oliver and Tito to steal the radio from inside.[[/folder]][[folder: Rita]][[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/14265-14080_1150.jpg]]->'''Voiced by:''' Sheryl Lee RalphA Saluki and the only female dog in Fagin's gang.

Plus he's justified in his paranoia his dealings with Sykes and the welfare of the dogs if he gets "sleepin' with the fishes".* CowardlyLion: He does crimes to escape his possible gangster death punishment from Sykes, but he does try to fight against him once he goes too far.* TheFagin: An {{expy}} of the TropeNamer only having a heart of gold this time around.* HomelessPigeonPerson: Except with dogs.* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A difference shared with the film adaptation - yes, he's a thief, and was planning to ransom Oliver, but he clearly loves his pets, and when he learns that Jenny is Oliver's owner, he immediately gives up all idea of collecting the ransom (even though he is fully aware that ''he will be killed'' if he fails to pay Sykes) in order to return Oliver to her.* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: His [[Literature/OliverTwist book counterpart]] is sentenced to execution at the novel's end.]][[/folder]][[folder: Roscoe and [=DeSoto=]]][[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roscoedesoto1_868.jpg]]->'''Voiced by:''' Taurean Blacque (Roscoe) and Carl Weintraub ([=DeSoto=])Sykes's vicious Doberman Pinschers who have a hostile history with Dodger and his friends.

Sykes has no sorcery, [[LargeHam hamminess]] or even a VillainSong; he is a cold-blooded LoanShark played straight. His methods are brutal as he holds Jenny for ransom, has Fagin in a loan deal with the implications of mafia execution and, in one scene where he's on the phone, he's clearly instructing the person on the other end how to perform the CementShoes method.[[/folder]][[folder: Jenny Foxworth]][[quoteright:296:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jenny1_618.jpg]]->'''Voiced by:''' Natalie GregoryA kind, rich girl who takes care of Oliver.----* TheCutie: A SpoiledSweet little girl, and very cute as well.* DamselInDistress: In the climax after [[spoiler: she is abducted by Sykes.]]* DitchTheBodyguards: Being seven years old, she had to elude Winston in order to save Oliver.* {{Expy}}: Of Penny from ''Disney/TheRescuers''.* InnocentBlueEyes * KindheartedCatLover: She adopts a CuteKitten and takes care of him.* LonelyRichKid* NiceGirl: Jenny is very caring and friendly.* RedheadedHero* SpoiledSweet: To a certain extent.[[/folder]][[folder: Winston]][[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/winston.png]]->'''Voiced by:''' William GloverThe Foxworth family's bumbling but loyal butler.----* CoolOldGuy: He's apparently a fan of pro wrestling.* DeadpanSnarker* HiddenDepths: He ''really'' likes wrestling.* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sure, he's a bit of a snob but it's clear he does care about Jenny, and he eventually warms to Fagin and his gang too.* NiceHat: A black driver's hat.* ParentalSubstitute: Seems to be this towards Jenny to an extent.* RollingPinOfDoom: Uses it as an ImprovisedWeapon when he goes to inspect the noise coming from Georgette's room.[[/folder]][[folder: Georgette]][[quoteright:291:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/georgette1_8334.jpg]]->'''Voiced by:''' Bette MidlerThe Foxworth family's show-winning poodle.----* AntiHero: She is extremely jealous of Oliver when Jenny first gets him, and tries to get rid of him after that.

Also she wastes no time in joining Oliver, Dodger and the gang in rescuing Jenny from Sykes.* ThePrimadonna: Is something of a celebrity in dog show circles, and isn't shy about mentioning it.* ReallyGetsAround: Just check out her shrine to her admirers!

Putting software on the Web is like leaving a baby in a shark tank. Before you expose your mission-critical Web application to the piranhas, you'd better systematically test its security. Now, thankfully, there's help.
Readers who swore by How to Break Software and How to Break Software Security begged the authors to take on web software next. They've done so -- superbly. From buffer overflows to fake encryption, you'll learn where to look, how to test, and above all, how to mitigate the problems you find.
Such as: Malicious user-supplied input. Client attacks against input controls and validation. Server attacks, such as SQL injection with stored procedures. State-based attacks, from poisoned cookies to hijacked sessions. Even web services attacks targeting flaws in WSDL and XPATH.
Do you really want to go live without running these tests? We didn't think so. Bill Camarda, from the March 2006 Read Only

Schleich, a sophomore, overcame obstacles on and off the tennis court to reach the singles and doubles finals at the Colorado Invitational, Sept. 23-25. She won three singles matches and three doubles matches on the weekend before sunstroke forced her to default in the Gold Singles Final on Sunday.
Schleich defeated Wyoming's Jessica Parizher 6-7(6), 6-4, 6-3 in her quarter-final match then rallied to claim victory over fellow Cowgirl Simona Synkova, 0-6, 6-3, 7-6(3) on Saturday. She was forced to play with little rest as she only had thirty minutes in-between matches. In doubles play, Schleich and teammate Carla Manzi Tenorio made it all the way to the finals where they fell 8-5 to Arkansas.
The Lilienthal, Germany, native is the first tennis player to be named CU's Athlete of the Week for the 2011-12 season.
Kring scored his best collegiate finish and fourth top 10 effort in the Air Force Falcon Gene Miranda Invitational. His score of 68-70-72-210 (6-under par) was good enough to tie him for a third place finish, and it was his second top five finish in seven days (he tied for fifth in the Buff's victory in their own Mark Simpson Colorado Invitational).
The 6-1 senior scored 42 pars in 54 holes in three rounds (tied for the second most in the 100-man field), and CU was named co-champions with UNLV in the tournament. It was the first time Colorado has won back-to-back major tournaments to open a season.
Also nominated this week are Megan Beckwith (volleyball) and Kate Russell (soccer).
Beckwith contributed 27 digs in two matches as Colorado fell 3-0 to both No. 15 Oregon and Oregon State. She added two assists and committed just one reception error out of the 41 times she was served. Beckwith is now fourth in Pac-12 conference matches in digs per set (4.60) and overall conference digs per set (4.54).Russell led the Buffs in shots (3) and added ninety more minutes of play to her career resume in CU's 2-0 loss against Oregon State on Friday. Russell is currently second in shots (25) and points (5) on the team, and is tied for second in goals (2) this season.

Lost Superannuation – What We Do for You
At Australian Lost Super we offer a very simple process for all your superannuation consolidations. We use one of Australia's top providers, AMP, to offer you an automated and electronic way to bring your super funds together.
In order to get started we will set you up with your own personal Flexible Super account with AMP. This will be your own superannuation account into which we will consolidate all your funds. This account can also be used with your current and any future employers in order to keep contributing into your superannuation. This will prevent any future "lost super".
Once the Super Search is finished you will be sent an SMS or email with the results available on AMP "My Portfolio" and an email with instructions on how to log in.
Approximately ten days after this, AMP will initiate consolidation of all the superannuation found. A processing fee of $275 will then be deducted from your AMP Superannuation account; this is not billed to you directly.
In addition, for most clients we can offer a simplified process for automatic acceptance of insurance cover in your new AMP Flexible Super account.
Please Note: this website deals purely with general advice only.
General vs Personal Advice.
There are two broad definitions of types of financial advice in Australia. Financial advice helps you make decisions about your money and can be tailored to your situation (personal advice) or general financial information (general advice).
Personal financial advice
Personal financial advice is where an adviser makes recommendations for a financial service or product after considering one of more of your objectives, financial situation and needs. Where a financial adviser provides you with personal financial advice, they must provide you with a Statement of Advice (SOA). Your adviser will consider the information you have provided him/her, carefully consider your financial goals and provide the SOA in writing that sets out what your adviser is recommending and why they think it's suitable for you.
General financial advice
General financial advice refers to general information regarding financial products but is not recommended as to its suitability for the client. The product adviser does not select from a group of potential products which might be more suitable for the client in relation to their personal needs, circumstances or objectives.
General Advice Warning.
We are also authorised to provide personal financial advice on a fee for service basis to you if you prefer. Please contact us if you would like to discuss obtaining personal financial; advice before consolidating your superannuation.

Federated Access Manager TOI, Session 2
By docteger on Feb 06, 2008
This morning was the second session for the Federated Access Manager TOI. Following are the topics covered (with notes). Session 1 Secure Attribute Exchange
Support for IDFF, SAML2, WS-Fed in one circle of trust
- Secure Attribute Exchange one-pager on OpenSSO explains it all
- Sample in
- No plans to port to IDFF
- Assertion Query/Request Profile
- Query existing SAML2 assertions based on specific criteria (authentication context, assertion identifier, etc.)
- Query initiator is the SAML Requester
Initiates the profile by sending a query message to SAML authority
- Responder is the SAML Authority
Validates and processes the query to issue a response
- Supports:
- Attribute Query (request attributes from a specific identity - successful response is assertion containing requested attributes) Basic Attribute and X509 Subject Attribute Queries
- Authentication Query (request assertion for a principal based on the authentication context - successful response is assertion(s) containing the authentication statements available to the principal)
Supports SOAP only
- Assertion Query (request existing assertion(s) using assertion(s) identifier - assertion must be cached)
- Authorization Decision Query (asks if a certain resource is accessible to a particular principal - made to authorization authority/policy engine)
XACML authzn decision is an extension of this
- Enhanced Client or Proxy (ECP)
- Specifies interactions between enhanced clients or proxies (eg. HTTP proxy) and SPs and IDPs
- ECP acts as a SOAP intermediary between the SP and IDP
- SSO Profile with PAOS Binding
- FAM 8.0 SAMLv2 IDP and SP are able to process request received from ECP
- Arrow of step 6 should be going the other way and some type of authentication is required between 5 and 6
- FAM 8.0 SAMLv2 IDP and SP can process request received from ECP
- ECP Client included as part of Opensso Extensions not FAM - can be used for testing
- Proxy Version (HTTP)
- Java Based Version (HTTPs)
- Name Identifier Management
Allows the change of principal's name identifier (shared between IDP and SP) after federation (possibly for security purposes or maybe IDP has a timing rule)
- IDP can issue a
ManageNameIDRequestto the SP to change the name identifier shared between them from a previous SSO
- SP can issue a
ManageNameIDRequestto attach an alias to its Principal
ManageNameIDResponseis returned after processing the request
- Subsequent communication between SP & IDP will use the new name identifier
- IDP can issue a
- Name Identifier Mapping
- POST Binding
Added support for POST binding for a number of profiles
- Web SSO Profile
- Single Logout Profile
- Name Identifier Management
- Name Identifier Termination
- Affiliations is a feature not a profile - will be implemented with SAML2 but will be very close to what we already have for IDFF
- \*\*\*URL encoding
- WS-\* spec for SSO
- Web (Passive) Profile similar to SAML (browser based SSO)
- Changed name to Web (Passive) for 1.1
- Token type is abstract
- Exchange based on WS-Trust
- Relies on username in AD and FAM8
- WS-Federation specs
- Microsoft Step-by-Step Guide for Active Directory Federation Services
- OpenSSO WS-Federation How-To
- Represents access control policies, requests and response to get polices and authzn decisions
- XACMLv2.0 current standard
- Support SAML2 profile of XACML
- XACMLAuthzDecisionQuery
- XACMLAuthzDecisionStatement
- Aravindan says should be doc'ed under Policy
- Sample in
- XACML Design Doc
- IDP proxy is one entity that acts as both IDP and SP
- In wei -> ping -> jamie example, ping is IDP proxy
- Supports:
- SSO with IDP disco service
- IDP proxy supports chaining
useIntroductionforIDPproxyattribute is to turn on Disco Service
- #1 use case in slides is the default
Support for IDFF, SAML2, WS-Fed in one circle of trust
- Enables a circle-of-trust to contain entities supporting different kind of federation protocols
- Enables SSO and SLO to work across heterogeneous protocols within the same circle-of-trust - mainly to enable SSO and SLO for the same session shared among different ID-FF/SAML2/WS-Federation IDPs hosted on the same FAM instance
- Sample included in which user will create a circle of trust containing one multi-federation protocol Identity Provider instance and three Service Provider instances speaking ID-FF, SAMLv2 and WS-Federation protocol
- Allow developers to invoke FAM without knowledge of product
- Developer uses php et al and may not need our client API
- Use IDE to implement in your application
- WSDL URL used in IDE
- REST URL used with scripting languages
- Change name of feature

Bobby Amaru harbors no illusions that Saliva fans are going to forget at the snap of a finger the only singer the band had for 15 years till he came along. But Amaru also knows he can only control his actions and talent behind the mic -- that everything else is inconsequential.
As long as the band's devoted followers give forthcoming CD Rise Up a chance, many are likely to find themselves firmly in Amaru's corner. And the rest should take care of itself.
The April 29 disc via Rum Bum Records includes 12 solid songs with Saliva's new vocalist, who joined the fold after original singer Josey Scott left the band. But unlike with a lot of groups, moaning and groaning over a change in vocalists would not best serve Saliva faithful. Amaru, who also plays rhythm guitar, puts his stamp on the material while at times sounding like Scott, who is more than a decade older.
San Antonians don't have to wait for the CD's arrival to judge for themselves. Saliva (Amaru, original lead guitarist Wayne Swinny, original bassist Dave Novotny and drummer Paul Crosby) will be at Backstage Live a week from tonight (details at bottom). Click on the band photo at the top to get a taste of the band in the recording studio.
Amaru, 30, phoned the SAMME last week to talk about it:
Q: Bobby, I've gotta be honest with you, and I know you're dealing with this a lot, but when a band changes singers for a guy who's been there originally and been there for 15 years, I'm sure a lot of fans have come across with a lot of skepticism. For me, the first time I heard this album, I was like, "Wow! This is solid all the way through." Every subsequent listen proves to me that every song is really strong. So I congratulate you for that. Do you feel every attention to detail and energy from the four of you guys has been transferred onto this record?
A: Oh, absolutely. We knew before we made the record, it was almost kind of like going back to the drawing board, like with the first record. We knew that we had to put everything into it. So we wrote a lot. There's a couple songs that were already written, but for the most part, we wrote as a band. We knew the direction we were trying to go. We weren't really trying to play it safe, I guess. We just really wanted to deliver good, solid rock songs, make sure there was depth.
Q: I know you joined in late 2012 thereabouts, but the record coming out April 29 will be the first time that many will have heard you. Approximately how many shows have you played with the guys, and do you still feel like the new guy?
A: Actually, I joined in 2011 -- December. We started touring February 2012. We toured all of that year. We signed our deal with Rum Bum. We started recording early 2013, and then we hit the road all last year too. We're about to do it all again with the record coming out. The new guy? No, not really, because I've probably done about, I would say 300 shows, maybe. Yeah. We've done a lot of shows. There's been a lot of really good ones. It's really just going out and proving yourself, show the people who are fans of Saliva that this band is still alive and kicking and trying to take it to that next level. We're not trying to give up or backtrack. We never want to backtrack. We're moving forward.
Q: I believe one of those shows was in Helotes last November at a place called Josabi's, not too far from here. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it, but does anything stick out from that one?
A: I do remember playing that one. Yeah, that was fun, man. All the shows in Texas are always fun that we do. I think it's one of Saliva's good markets.
Q: I think you have strong traces of Josey's sound without being a 100 percent clone, and your bandmates have said you put your own spin on the older tracks. How much of a challenge is it for you to strike that balance?
A: He and I have two different voices, two different people. It's really just doing my thing on it. I don't scrape too far away from what's done, you know what I mean? I think I do the songs justice to where people can tell the difference. I'm not trying to change the song melodies or anything like that. I just kind of came in and made them as if they were my own.
Q: I'm not going to debate whether you're the sexiest member of the band . . . (Bobby laughs; see video at top) . . . but you're definitely injecting some young blood into the band. What do you feel you bring to the table that the previous incarnation may not have had?
A: Probably in the beginning, there was a lot of energy, and everything was really great, and everyone was happy or whatever. That's kind of a formality. You go up one side and down the other. And it just kept going and falling, and I don't really think the guys were considering losing it. You get into Rock N' Roll because it's fun. This business can really f--- with you to make you literally want to kill yourself at times. That's just kind of the way it is. It's a sad thing, the way it is. But I think what we're doing now is definitely a brand new energy, as far as what I bring into the band as well, bringing a young aspect as well. It's something that they wanted. They definitely didn't want to get someone that was too young or too old, I think. Just finding the perfect medium.
Q: You were the drummer for Burn Season. What's the biggest benefit of being knowledgeable about drums or another instrument in general that can help you from a vocalist standpoint?
A: I always played drums my whole life. That was my passion growing up. Then I started playing guitar and piano. I just wanted to learn everything. Singing was one of the things that actually came later. I never really knew that I could sing. It wasn't something that I took too serious until maybe about 10 years ago. Well, not at least 10 years ago to get serious, but you know, just kind of jamming covers around campfires and parties with friends, that kind of stuff. I enjoy both. I enjoy entertaining, period. Whether it's on the drums or on the mic. Kind of like the Dave Grohl Syndrome, I'll call it.
Q: Fans have received a taste of the title track to Rise Up, as well as "Redneck Freakshow." For me, I think "In It To Win It" and "No One But Me" are other highlights, and you've shown you can sing the slower stuff such as "Lost," "1000 Eyes" and "Closer." Is there one song on the new record that is the most meaningful to you and why?
A: I would say "Lost." And "1000 Eyes." "Lost," I wrote with a buddy of mine. It was kind of done before we did the record. He went to rehab, and he's been clean four years. Lyrically, overcoming addiction and that whole "lost for the last time" thing. Just waking up and saying, "I'm done with this s---." It doesn't have to be drug-related. It can be relationships or whatever everyday affairs people deal with. But it's definitely one of the songs that I think lyrically, being down and overcoming. And "1000 Eyes," what's cool about that is it's one we wrote after "The Walking Dead" show. A lot of people don't know that, but we had a lyric video done for it that you can see online on YouTube that's pretty cool. Total Rob Zombie-type thing. We wrote that for the show, based off that. That's why "1000 Eyes," it's like, "Where do you get that title from?" Zombies, man!
Q: "She Can Sure Hide Crazy" has the line "I didn't see the psycho coming." I don't know what your writing involvement was for that one, but is that from personal experience or generally speaking?
A: That would be Paul's ex-wife. He just wanted to write a song about her in general, I think. And that fit. It's what we came up with.
Q: When you joined the band, did you have any kind of initiation session or pranks played on you?
A: No, not really. These guys have been doing this, man, for a long time. They've been through their fair share of pranks. Don't get me wrong. Paul, he's a prankster and the joking type. But I don't know if it's in any band's best interest to haze a new singer. It's one thing to haze the drummer or guitar player, but if you start hazing the singer, that's never good because he always has a way to get you back. He will figure out how to get you back. When you go to take that sip of water on stage, and it's filled with nothing but vodka . . . those are the things.
Q: Speaking of vodka, how much rum do you guys get from Rum Bum?
A: Ha! I don't know if I can answer that. No -- basically, the guy who owns the label, Luis, he's from a Bacardi family. Obviously, there have been times where they've come out on the road where we're at, and they'll go to the store, and they'll go buy like, all Bacardi products. We're more, I would say, beer and Crown types.
Well, Bobby, I thank you for taking the time. I'm really excited for you guys to get this record out and live shows, especially here in Texas, because I think this is a really solid record. You've been a terrific addition to the band, and I know there's good things going forward for you guys, and I wish you luck.
Yeah, thank you, man, appreciate it!

High levels of vitamin in blood double the likelihood of survival
According to the National Institutes of Health, the average daily recommend amount s of vitamin D is 600 IU daily for adults 19 years to 70 and 800 IU for those over 70 years.
In a previous study Cedric F. Garland, DrPH, professor in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine and colleagues showed that low vitamin D levels were linked to a high risk of premenopausal breast cancer. This researchers promoted this new meta-analysis that examined whether serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] at diagnosis is associated with longer survival of patients with breast cancer.
Dr. Garland and colleagues performed a statistical analysis of five studies of 25-hydroxyvitamin D obtained at the time of patient diagnosis and their follow-up for an average of nine years. Combined, the studies included 4,443 breast cancer patients.
The results showed higher serum concentrations of 25(OH)D were associated with lower case-fatality rates after diagnosis of breast cancer.
The high serum group had an average level of 30 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml) of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in their blood. The low group averaged 17 ng/ml. The average level in patients with breast cancer in the United States is 17 ng/ml.
Patients in the highest quintile of 25(OH)D had approximately half the death rate from breast cancer as those in the lowest.
In their conclusion the researchers write "High serum 25(OH)D was associated with lower mortality from breast cancer. Serum 25(OH)D in all patients with breast cancer should be restored to the normal range (30-80 ng/ml), with appropriate monitoring. Clinical or field studies should be initiated to confirm that this association was not due to reverse causation."
According to Dr. Heather Hofflich, DO, FACE, UC San Diego associate professor in the Department of Medicine and co-author ""The study has implications for including vitamin D as an adjuvant to conventional breast cancer therapy."
Dr. Garland comments "Vitamin D metabolites increase communication between cells by switching on a protein that blocks aggressive cell division." "As long as vitamin D receptors are present tumor growth is prevented and kept from expanding its blood supply. Vitamin D receptors are not lost until a tumor is very advanced. This is the reason for better survival in patients whose vitamin D blood levels are high."
Dr. Garland recommended randomized controlled clinical trials to confirm the findings but suggested physicians consider adding vitamin D into a breast cancer patient's standard care now and then closely monitor the patient.
In closing he comments "There is no compelling reason to wait for further studies to incorporate vitamin D supplements into standard care regimens since a safe dose of vitamin D needed to achieve high serum levels above 30 nanograms per milliliter has already been established,"
A 2011 meta-analysis by Garland and colleagues estimated that a serum level of 50 ng/ml is associated with 50 percent lower risk of breast cancer. While there are some variations in absorption, those who consume 4,000 International Units (IU) per day of vitamin D from food or a supplement normally would reach a serum level of 50 ng/ml. Garland urged patients to ask their health care provider to measure their levels before substantially increasing vitamin D intake.
This new study appears in the March issue of Anticancer Research.

Patriot League Coach of the Year Matt Corkery
March 2, 2010
Center Valley, Pa.—American University junior Michelle Kirk was voted the 2010 Patriot League Women's Basketball Player of the Year, it was announced Tuesday during the Women's Basketball Tournament media teleconference. Also announced during the call were the winners of the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and Coach of the Year, as well as the 2010 All-Patriot League teams.
Kirk was voted Patriot League Player of the Year after leading the Patriot League in scoring with 18.1 points per outing. She also hauled in 5.2 rebounds per contest. Kirk scored a career-high 32 points in American's Jan. 9 victory over Lehigh. She has 507 points this season, making her the fourth player in school history to reach the 500-point mark in a season. Kirk was also named a First-Team All-Patriot League selection for the second consecutive season. The junior is the first Eagle to be named Patriot League Player of the Year since American joined the Patriot League in 2001-02.
Kirk's coach, Matt Corkery, was honored as well. In his second season as the head coach of the Eagles, Corkery was tabbed Patriot League Coach of the Year. Corkery is the second coach in American history to be named Patriot League Coach of the Year, joining former Eagles' coach Melissa McFerrin. Corkery led American to a 13-1 Patriot League record, tying Lehigh for the top spot in the League. The Eagles finished the regular season with a 20-8 record under Corkery's guidance, marking just the fourth 20-win season in program history.
Receiving Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year honors for the second season in a row was Navy junior Angela Myers. Myers ranks third in the Patriot League in steals and eighth in rebounding. The 5'5" point guard has compiled 58 thefts this season and ranks 27th on the Patriot League career steals list. Myers is the first player in Patriot League history to receive back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year awards.
Colgate's Jhazmine Lynch was voted the Patriot League Rookie of the Year, marking the first time a Raider has received the award. During Patriot League play, Lynch led her team in scoring with 9.3 points per outing. She also registered 23 assists and 17 steals during League play, helping Colgate record its best Patriot League record since 2005-06. Lynch was named Patriot League Rookie of the Week three times during the season.
Joining Kirk as a First-Team All-Patriot League selection is her teammate Liz Leer. Also chosen as First-Team All-Patriot League honorees were Myers, Army's Erin Anthony and Lehigh's Emily Gratch and Erica Prosser.

text: For tickets that we include knowledgebase articles in we put a Tag of "KB" on the ticket. We would like to generate a report that shows a percent (or number) of total tickets for that staff that are closed that have the KB tag for each staff member. Here is an image of the layout we're looking for. Two questions with this. 1. Does anyone know if generating percents is possible?2. Could anyone provide insight as to how to put this report together?
