Junior linebacker Sherrod Pittman (6-1, 215) of Jacksonville, Fla., became USC's fourth commitment in three days Monday night when be announced for the Gamecocks over Florida.
Pittman's decision follows that of defensive end Taylor Stallworth on Saturday, his First Coast High junior teammate Jerad Washington on Sunday and defensive lineman Abu Lamin on Monday.
"I love the coaching staff," Pittman said when asked why he picked USC. "Shaq Wilson, (USC grad assistant linebacker coach) a former First Coast player, he's a real good teacher, real great player and I could learn more from him like a mentor. Coach (Steve) Spurrier said I have a strong chance of playing over there, playing real early as a freshman. He's really a great coach, hard-working and dedicated. He has a goal in life. He wants to get to the SEC championship and win a BCS championship."
Pittman is considered one of the top linebackers in the 2015 class. Some of his other offers were Clemson, Auburn, LSU, Miami, Florida State, Georgia Tech and Central Florida. He's USC's sixth commitment for the 2015 class.
Wide receiver Washington (5-11, 165) was offered by the Gamecocks at their camp about a month ago, and he and his parents came in Friday for the Black Magic Camp to meet with Spurrier and Steve Spurrier Jr.
"I caught coach Spurrier Jr.'s eye and he took a chance on me," said Washington, who compares himself to former Gamecocks star receiver Ace Sanders. "I try to play like him. Coach Spurrier (Jr.) said I run very good routes from the slot position."
Washington, who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds, played his freshman season for Nease High in St. Augustine. He caught 67 passes for 790 yards and five TDs.
Washington also plays baseball for First Coast High, where he is coached by former Florida quarterback and Spurrier disciple Shane Matthews.
Lamin, of Fort Scott JC (Kan.), became the Gamecocks' 12th commitment for the 2014 class. The native of Fayetteville, N.C., chose USC over Florida, Arkansas, Nebraska and Alabama.
Lamin will enroll in January and will have three seasons of eligibility.
In other recruiting news:
Defensive lineman Dexter Wideman of Saluda, considered the state's top defensive line prospect in the 2014 class, announced a commitment to Florida State last week. Wideman made his commitment a few days after camping at Florida State. USC and Florida were his other two favorites, and he has not closed the door on the Gamecocks. He attended their camp on Friday. Wideman also had offers from Clemson, Michigan, Mississippi and Alabama.
Defensive lineman Cory Thomas of McCalla, Ala., has a final four of Clemson, Mississippi State, Florida and Tennessee. He camped at Mississippi State earlier this month. He plans to announce on Friday.
Spring Valley LB Christian Miller committed to Alabama on Thursday. Miller once was committed to Florida but backed off that in May. He's the son of former USC and NFL linebacker Corey Miller. Last season, he had 121 tackles and 14 sacks.
Offensive lineman Donell Stanley of Latta attended USC's Black Magic Camp on Friday afternoon along with his mother, little brother and Latta assistant coach Chris German. Stanley attended an Alabama camp earlier this month and German said Friday night that USC and Alabama are Stanley's top two right now. Clemson and North Carolina are the others on his short list.
Defensive end Rick Leonard of Middletown, Md., has his choice down to Clemson and Florida State and could make the call as early as this week.
"He's dead in the center between Clemson and Florida State," coach Kevin Lynott said. "That's where he is right now. I think it's 50-50."
Leonard camped at Clemson in June. His teammate OL Justin Falcinelli committed to the Tigers earlier this month.
LB Raekwon McMillan of Hinesville, Ga., has Alabama and Ohio State as his top two right now, with Clemson, Georgia and Florida rounding out his top five.

Modelling Stress and Strain in Filamentary Superconductors with Finite Element Method
Ahoranta, Maria
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2008-10-24

Electrical properties of superconductors are very sensitive to mechanical loading. As the loading in practical applications is often very large, designers should know the mechanical behaviour of conductors well. With the finite element method (FEM), mechanical models on complex loading situations and conductor geometries can be solved. Such models give local information on stress and strain states, which is needed, for example, in predicting a fracture. The aim of this work is to study mechanical modelling of Nb3Sn and Bi-2223 filamentary superconductors with continuum models that are solved with FEM. The focus is on loading conditions that are typical in a magnet. In other words, models are developed for thermal stress, bending, axial tension and transversal compression loading of a conductor. Filamentary superconductors contain specific features that are complicated to describe in a mechanical model or increase the need of computational resources in the FEM solution. In this work, an auxiliary model approach was proposed to model conductors with a large filament number and an on-off approach was suggested to describe creep deformation. In addition, the modelling of twisted conductor structures and electromagnetic forces were studied. However, computational tests showed that knowing the material behaviour at high temperatures and the stiffness of Bi-2223 filaments is essential for obtaining precise results. Fortunately, some simple measurements on the studied conductor can help in finding these properties. Results of the models were compared to available measurement data. Unfortunately, direct measurements on local stress and strain states were not found. The models agreed well with the measurements when the conductor properties were modelled realistically. Comparison of the FEM models to analytical models confirmed the benefits of the FEM models. FEM models allowed to model combined loading and predicted a clear variation of stress and notable non-axial stresses that were absent in analytical models.

Morgan County residents claim excessive force in civil lawsuit
January 5, 2013
Two Morgan County residents have filed a civil suit against the Morgan County Sheriff's Department, Deputies Seth Place and Richard Haynes and the Morgan County Commissio....
I guess you and the Shambaugh Family and Friends Sheriff's department think your boys were "set up again!" Too bad it wasn't caught on tape this time!!

I lived in Berkeley Springs/Bath for several years and have had interactions with both deputies. They were always respectful and professional, and I find it hard to believe that they would use force for someone asking questions. Obviously, the people with the citation did more than ask questions, became irate, and decided to act inappropriately towards Deputy Place and Deputy Haines. Why would they go to the office to begin with? These are law enforcement officers. Wouldn't it been better to ask legal questions to an attorney or plead their case to the court? Officers can not give legal advice. Most people know this. I think the Deputies did what they had to do to restrain an uncontrollable women who would not de-escalate. She obviously posed a threat when she became angry and upset, and the Deputies did what they had to do to protect themselves.

"Hey Sandpiper, the Sheriff's office is a public place and citizens should be able to go voice their complaints without having to be worried about being abused!!"
Complaint? Yep, that's probably true. They didn't go there to discuss anything. They went there looking to make noise. I have no sympathy for them. As I said, there were many other ways to deal with it reasonably and they decided none of those ways fit them.

Funny, I've never been in a police station and don't care if the criminals, law abusers get beat to a pulp. If you can't handle the "beating" quit doing the crimes.
Looking forward to hearing how the next scumbag was bloodied by police while being arrested. Or would you rather hand out ice cream cones and give them a pat on the back?

"According to the complaint, the Markouses went to the sheriff's department Dec. 3, 2010, to discuss the citation." Well, there you go. They could have written a letter. They could have consulted with an attorney. They could have done their own research. But, insiead, they went to the station to "discuss" the ticket. Who does that? I know who and you do too: people looking for trouble.

A 9-year-old boy was seriously injured after he darted into a roadway and was struck by a pick-up truck Thursday evening in Fostoria.
According to a release from the State Highway Patrol, Mavin Hamilton, of Fostoria, was struck in the middle of Columbus Avenue near Lytle Street by a 2006 Dodge Dakota driven by George Tucker, 74, also of Fostoria, after he ran out from behind a building and into the street around 5:30 p.m.
According to the release, Tucker had been driving southeast bound on Columbus Avenue and Hamilton had run southwest bound across Columbus Avenue.
Hamilton was transported by Fostoria EMS to Fostoria Community Hospital and was later taken by medical helicopter to University of Toledo Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
He remained in serious condition Thursday night, a State Highway Patrol spokeswoman said.
Tucker was not injured during the crash and his vehicle was towed from the scene, according to the release.
Fostoria Police, Fire, and EMS responded to the accident and assisted the Fremont Post of the State Highway Patrol with the investigation. State Highway Patrol reconstruction also assisted at the scene.
According to the release, alcohol is believed to be involved in the crash and charges are pending.

Target recently changed their return policy to limit returns to two items each rolling 12 month period if you don't have a receipt. I think that policy makes sense and it mirrors similar policies at other retailers and I understand that it's meant to combat return fraud. However, someone forgot to think about the effect that will have on their gift registries, especially in the case where they fail to remove items off the gift registry and the gift giver doesn't attach a gift receipt to the gift.
Let me give you an example, my fiancee recently had a bridal shower in which a Target gift registry was established and stocked with a variety of items such as board games. Well, when people purchased items off that list, the Target gift registry failed to remove the items from the list. You can imagine what happened next, she received multiple copies of some of the board games. Well, being a classier than average bunch, many of those duplicates didn't come with a gift receipt taped to the box. In trying to return the items to Target, she ran smack into this new ridiculous policy. Target employees couldn't check the registry, see that there were mistakes made on their part and give her a refund. The duplicates were Target's fault but all their executive brains failed to identify this entirely common scenario.
I'm not writing this to complain about Target because I want them to change their policy, I could care less. I'm writing this as a warning to anyone thinking about a gift registry to skip Target's. Target is really no different from any of those types of stores so register somewhere else and save yourself the hassle of dealing with them.
You know who does do it well? Bed Bath & Beyooooond really does a good job with their registry. If you buy it somewhere else, just give them a call and they'll remove the item from the list. Everything is automatically 20% off, they are a bit pricier on some things, since you can find those coupons anywhere (they will accept expired coupons). And lastly, if you had it on your registry, you can return it without a receipt (the worst case is that they give you a gift card).
Who else does it well? Macy's actually gives you a gift card or certificate worth 10% of the total value of items purchased from your bridal registry, among other similarly awesome benefits I can't remember. 10% "cashback" is pretty freaking sweet compared to Target's gift of a headache and a wonderfully frustrating shopping experience. So, lesson of the day is to skip Target and go elsewhere.{ 100 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Kate Hudson: Playing the Mean Girl on Glee Was a Challenge
The actress, 33, was taken out of her comfort zone as Cassandra July, Rachel Berry's (Lea Michele) not-so-nice dance instructor.
"Being that mean for me, it's pretty difficult," Hudson told reporters on Wednesday at the Fox show's season 4 premiere at Paramount Studios in L.A. "It was challenging to keep a straight face."
Hudson's character seems to have it in for Rachel, who acts as a reminder of the dreams she hasn't already accomplished herself.
"I think she sees Rachel as this young, talented, cute girl, and she's just sort of bitten with jealousy and wants to make her life a bit miserable," Hudson says.
Despite the cattiness between the two characters on camera, Michele had nothing but kind words to say about Hudson in real life.
"She's the most down-to-earth, fun, laid-back person," Michele told PEOPLE. "I love working with her. She's just so spot-on and incredible."

What started out as punch and cookies near the front desk of the Wilcox Mansion at Christmastime in 1974 has evolved into more than a week of Victorianesque festivities.
There's a competition of garden-club decorations and handmade holiday gifts for sale. There are luncheons with tea served in old-fashioned bone china cups. And there will be a new evening "mixer" aimed at the younger set.
"The house is more alive than it is at any other time of the year," said Janice Kuzan, assistant director at the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site mansion, where the 26th president took the oath of office after President William McKinley's 1901 assassination.
"It's beautiful. It's bright. It's full of people that are having a marvelous time," she said. "You can tell I'm a junkie."
The weeklong series of parties and occasions now under way includes $25 luncheons, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., with tickets still available for Tuesday and Wednesday. There also will be a $30-a-person party including beer, appetizers and DJ music at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday and a $20 brunch at 10 a.m. Friday with a talk by Sandy Sarks about the women of Forest Lawn.
What has become the biggest annual fundraiser for the cultural institution ends Saturday with a sold-out vintage fashion show. The holiday fetes raise about $40,000 toward the cost of running the Delaware Avenue mansion, which was once owned by Mary Grace and Ansley Wilcox, a lawyer friend of Roosevelt.
The mansion is now owned by the federal government. Classified as a national park site, it is operated by a foundation charged with raising half its annual $600,000 operating budget.
The holiday fetes also reveal what the season was like more than a century ago when millionaires still lived in the grand Delaware Avenue homes that have since been converted into schools and offices.
The Victorian era was known for lavish, over-the-top decor, said Kuzan. Research found bountiful flower arrangements and a profusion of trimmings that, she said, could make a room feel like it had a canopy.
Now the mansion's rooms are outfitted with pine boughs, poinsettias, ornaments and Christmas trees for all of December. In the days ahead, visitors are being asked to vote for their favorite display: More than a dozen local garden clubs compete for the honor of best decorations.
"There's no plastic or artificial greens," Kuzan said. "Here it's all the real thing."
About 125 volunteers contribute to the events, which include the $25 luncheons on Tuesday and Wednesday that had yet to be sold out when Kuzan offered details by phone Friday evening, when the festivities began. For more information, check trsite.org or call 884-0095.
Food throughout the week will be prepared by students from several local culinary programs: Trocaire College, Niagara County Community College, the Auburn Watson Culinary Arts Center and the Emerson School of Hospitality of the Buffalo Public Schools.
"The neatest thing is, the president of our foundation was in the kitchen with an apron making a homemade cranberry sauce," said Kuzan. "It's such a team effort."

LISBON - A county agency is also stepping up its emergency response plan after the Dec. 14 tragedy that left 28 people dead in Connecticut.
Bob Zehentbauer, who serves as Public Health Emergency Planning Coordinator for the county health department, said he took another look at emergency procedures in place after Adam Lanza entered an elementary school in Newtown and killed 20 children, six adults and himself after first killing his mother.
The local agency isn't the first to take another look at already existing emergency plans. Earlier this week the East Palestine School District revisited its procedure.
"The big thing is you gotta keep increasing the awareness. We have plans and they work but we're always looking to increase them," Zehentbauer said.
He added that, in general, emergency plans should be looked over on a regular basis so new hires at a company, school or agency will be just as informed as seasoned employees and the chances of someone not knowing how to respond in an emergency are lessened.
"You have to brief new employees," he said.
Health Commissioner Wes Vins said employees spent this week looking at an alternate emergency system that is independent of the phone system.
He didn't go into details about the system but said that it provides a means of response in the event that telephones are not accessible or working properly.
In other business the department's nursing director, Barbara Knee, said the board's decision to hire Jennifer Davis two months ago is paying off.
Davis was hired to serve as a full-time nurse for the bureau for children with medical handicaps (BCMH). The bureau is a program offered through the health department that provides medical assistance and services to handicapped children and children who may become handicapped without medical intervention.
Knee said the board was able to bring Davis on full-time through a reimbursement from the BCMH program through the state of Ohio. The position was formerly part-time, and only offered when someone was available.
"I'm really excited. We hired the right person for the job. Just this month alone she added 12 new families to the program," Knee said.
She added that Davis has saved families a substantial amount of money by visiting them in their homes and briefing them on the types of medication or services available to them at lower costs.
The board then approved:
- A third reading of 2013 fees for rabies exposure specimen testing, food services, swimming pools, recreational parks and real estate evaluations.
- Reducing certificates and appropriations for the Home Sewage and Cancer Levy. Fiscal Officer Cis Donahey explained the reduction is needed as a result of the phase out of personal property tax, and someone possibly not paying their property taxes. The board has also not yet received a $3,649 check from the Susan G. Komen Foundation, although it is in the mail.
-The food safety training program, fee set at $159 per individual for the Level II class. There is no fee for the Level I class.
- A resolution regarding mobile home inspections. Vins said the department will no longer perform inspections or approve licensing, but that will be done by the Mobile Parks Commission.
- Contracting with Carroll County for the Radon Grant.
- A one year contract with Chastidy Hall for car seat education and distribution. Hall will be paid $260.50 a month.
- Contracting with Medical Imaging for mammography services. Mammograms are $90 and ultrasounds are $70.
- Reappointing Columbiana County Engineer Bob Durbin to the Sewage Appeals Board for two years.
- Hosting a Competent Person Training on Jan. 25 presented by Baker Corp and paying Baker Corp the $125 fee.

Oops, something didn't work.
I really don't understand why there's been this backlash about UAC. Something had to be done, and UAC is I think a very pragmatic and yet elegant solution. Sure at first its a little shocking - but the truth is, even as a developer, that once you've reached
a steady state and your machine is broadly speaking configured with the various tools and packages you need to create code etc then the number of secure-desktop prompts you encounter falls away dramatically. To the point that I definately **feel** more secure
under UAC. I get a real sense of comfort knowing that I'm not being to be led into letting some bit of malware run off with the system.
The only thing I have done is to enable the capital 'A' (legacy) administrator account so that I can occasionally launch a PowerShell instance in "XP security backwards compatibility mode". And in almost all cases that's because of some batch tool that does have a manifest to prompt for privilage elevation build in. Nope, UAC is a Good Thing - more of the same please.

It will all be worth it, the moment I get my first UAC prompt I did not expect.

On XP members of both Power Users and Administrators can share folders on the network.

Is there any workaround for delegating the right to share folders to standard users, or at least to make the experience a little less odd for members of the Power User group?

The Power Users group is deprecated, the only reasons it's still there is for (wait for it) backwards compatibility (even says so in the group's description). You shouldn't be using it.
BlackTiger: I could move those folders without even needing to elevate, so I don't know what you're talking about.
EDIT: Or perhaps you mean that you could change the location but couldn't access them afterwards? That can happen if your account doesn't have the necessary rights to the new location. But that's not UAC's fault, it can happen on XP too.

BlackTiger wrote:So (I'm not MS employee!), please tell me why I have this problem ONLY IF UAC IS ENABLED.
I do think UAC is a good and needed thing. It's clear that running as an admin all the time is dangerous.
What I don't undertand is why or how come changing your system DPI is so risky for your sistem that only administrator can do it? What was the criteria used to rate it so dangerous?
Jonathan here (the guy from the video) to answer some of the questions that were posted.
The issue you hit isn't actually related to UAC. The problem actually involves a subtlety with running elevated combining with the method you used to change your configuration.
When you're running elevated (either as a member of the Administrators group with UAC turned off, or after going through the elevation prompt with UAC on), any directories/files that you create are owned by the Administrators group, rather than your user account. When you relocated the directories, you had UAC turned off so the ACL was set in a way that granted no access to your user account directly (i.e., you had access via membership in the Administrators group). When you turned UAC back on, you were then running with a filtered, non-admin token and as a result, had no access to the directories that you had created when you were running elevated.
That's also why you only see the issue when UAC is enabled.
The modal dialog behavior (or rather, switching to the secure desktop to display the elevation dialog) is actually configurable by policy. If you want to switch it off, simply do:
"Local Security Policy" (launches secpol.msc)
Local Policies --> Security Options
Select "User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation"
Change the policy to "Disabled"
Note that you'll need to explicitly launch secpol.msc elevated (via right-click + "Run as administrator...") if you're running as a standard user. The policy change will take effect immediately.
The huge caveat here is that turning off this policy exposes you to UI spoofing attacks that target the elevation dialog (e.g., overlaying different text, or a different dialog image entirely, on top of the elevation prompt). This becomes possible once the elevation dialog is displayed on the user desktop.

jimbawb wrote:My main gripe about UAC (Trust me, I'm not about to disable it) is simply around UI:
Sometimes not enough information is presented for me to be able to make a decision on whether to allow the operation or not. Some of the names are quite obvious (e.g. when doing file operations), but what I'd prefer to see is an "advanced" version of this dialog detailing:
- Who (which process, its PID, its location on the filesystem) is requesting the operation
- Exactly what does granting this privilege mean (they have rights to do what now?). When running applications that do things under the covers, it may not always be possible to directly link an action you performed to the UAC prompt that just popped up.
- A verifiable link to confirm they are who they say they are, e.g. validate their signing certificate if present.
JonSchwartz, thanks for the replies. I'll see if I can get a list of what they do....probably mostly gaming and all the anti cheat, autopatch stuff.
Anyways, last time I checked IVC, they didn't have an announcement, but I'm glad they are going to support Vista!
Now once more I have something else to add. Some apps will not set themselves as default unless they are run as admin the first time. Foxit PDF reader and µtorrent exibit this behavior. It took a little while to figure out why Foxit PDF wasn't opening my PDFs by default. So all I did was run it as admin one time, then after that things work. So that might be something to look into.
Hello. I'm the other UAC team member from the video.
David62277: I can understand your concerns around deployment to Standard Users, in fact, whenever I give a talk about moving an environment to Standard User desktops this is the first issue I mention. Fortunately, there is a solution built into Windows – it's called Group Policy Software Installation (GPSI).
There is documentation about GPSI available here: http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/b7c2efc1-207e-4089-8490-0d002daf8b6c1033.mspx?mfr=true
GPSI allows an IT Pro to install products on a system by pushing them directly onto the machine, by allowing the users to initiate the installation of specified MSIs, or by automatically installing the products when necessary. This technology also includes facilities for updating the applications without needing to visit each machine.
There are reasons that GPSI may not be perfect for your environment. In those cases, our customers generally acquire a 3rd party product to help solve this problem. While we understand that this isn't optimal, the cost of these products generally are covered by the reduction of the TCO of the environment.
That's a very good question. Thanks!
Thanks for the reply. I am aware of how to install software using group policy. It is a great feature that we use now to install the Citrix client to all new domain computers. The problem is that NONE of the software packages that we have here (Accounting Firm) install from a .msi.
I will have to look into some 3rd party apps. Is there any particular package that Microsoft endorses?
Also, would it be possible using GPOs (maybe a custom one?) to allow certain installers in a specific path to automatically install as an admin? Like say... a GPO that allows a specific installer located at \\server\apps\software\install.exe to automatically install as an admin?
Again thank you for your reply

It looks like Internet Video Converter has a Vista-compatible version (1.40) coming out next week, based on the announcement at http://www.ivcsoft.ca.cx/.
Sorry for the slow post/response -- was out of town for a bit.
Agreed on the environment settings UI -- that's a spot that needs to be refactored, and it's on our list. Obviously, I can't give a specific date or ship vehicle, but it's definitely being investigated and scoped out as I write this.
The same applies to the DPI settings -- those are currently done per-machine down inside of the User/GDI infrastructure (win32k.sys) and need to be supported per-user (similar to display resolution).
The default UAC settings in Vista are actually the result of extensive usability studies and customer feedback over the Vista development cycle. A very good read is Jim Allchin's final blog entry, which digs into some of the tradeoffs that had to be made regarding security and usability:
That being said, the settings you mentioned can be controlled by policy. To change your prompt policy from "consent" to "credentials," do:
"Local Security Policy" (launches secpol.msc)
Local Policies --> Security Options
Select "User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode"
Change the policy to "Prompt for credentials"
Note that you'll need to explicitly launch secpol.msc elevated (via right-click + "Run as administrator...") if you're running as a standard user. The policy change will take effect immediately.
If you want sudo-like behavior, change the policy to "Elevate without prompting" instead -- this allows you to launch items elevated without a prompt until you switch the policy back to "consent" or "credentials." Another option is to launch an elevated instance of CMD (via right-click + "Run as administrator...") and run a batch of commands from there -- it's actually more secure than using the policy since you're still controlling the exact set of commands that you're running elevated, vs. opening the door for anything on the machine to launch arbitrary executables elevated.
Just have to say- EXCELLENT stuff. Love Channel 9. Keep it up.
FOR JOHN or CHRIS: I started right-clicking a bit to see the different credential windows and I noticed that when I run as elevated against Windows Meeting Space i get a unidentified program prompt saying it's an unrecognized and unsigned app.
I may have found another bug. Running Vista Business. I disabled elevation prompts for standard users.
As a standard user, I get the expected dialog box denying my account access and not prompting me except when I try to change Windows Firewall settings. Instead, it just sits there. Specifically, I navigated to CP and selected Windows Firewall. From there, I'm selecting Change Settings. It has the Security shield next to it so I'd expect one of those "you-can't-do-this" window but I get nothing.
Hello Jon,
let me get this straight: You are worried that an user who has the credentials of an admin-user, could expose data of other users on the same pc? Hmm, I *think* that user can do that anyway.
I think it's more dangerous to start a newly installed application as an admin user. Why?
The standard-user thinks he has not the right or power to do any real damage to the OS. But the first "playing around" with a new application could possibly kill of the OS or can do real damage because it's the enviroment of an admin-user.
From this point of view, the UAC is not much more than a nicer "run as ..." feature. Why can't the "UAC-Service" sense the end of an installation and the first start of the application?
I have nothing against UAC, i don't hate it, i don't love it.
I am a network admin for a consulting firm and some of our clients are starting to get Vista machines. We had one the other day tell us that they are unable to save files to the network shares. Tells them Unable to save files, does not matter what file type.
Is this issue caused by UAC? Would turning it off correct this or is this question for a different forum? Many thanks for your assistance.
How is the error manifesting (e.g., "error dialog through the Shell that says xxxx")?
It's possible that the error is due to lower permissions due to UAC, but it's unlikely. UAC would be affecting things only if all of the following are true:
1. Your users were running as members of the Administrators
2. The share is ACLed such that only admins can write to it
3. The file share is also a Vista machine
4. Your users have local accounts, rather than domain accounts
#1 + #2 would be required for a permission problem, since your users wouldn't be running as full admins unless they explicitly elevate. However, #3 + #4 would also be required for the token filtering to propagate on the wire -- by default, filtered admins using domain accounts get their full token on the target (Vista) machine to allow for remote administration.
One last thought -- could it be due to the firewall (either the one shipped in the box or a different one that you install on your client machines)?
From the description, the problem hits because MMC is running elevated while your second app is not; as a result, the COM server runs elevated when started from MMC and the non-elevated app can't access its ROT entries.
I asked the COM folks for suggestions, and they mentioned two possible ways to solve this:
1. The COM server can register in the ROT using
ROTFLAGS_ALLOWANYCLIENT -- this is described
towards the end of
2. You can configure the COM server to RunAs
"Interactive User" -- note that this solution assumes
that the COM server itself doesn't need any admin
privileges and will always be used in a scenario where
a user is logged on (else it will fail to CoCreate).
Yup -- still monitoring the forum actively
Some great questions there -- here goes:
1) Mapped drives get interesting in combination with the "split-token" account, because of a weird dichotomy in the system (in large part historical) -- the drive letters are per-user, but the underlying drive mappings are per-LUID (i.e., distinct for each individual logon, even for the same user). This is why the mappings disappear when you elevate, and the setting you found tells the OS that you want the mappings you make non-elevated to be mirrored into your elevated context as well -- under the covers, the NTLanman network provider maps the drive and then asks the LSA to find the associated elevated token and use it to mirror the mapping. Technically, it opens a small loophole since non-elevated malware can now "pre-seed" a drive letter + mapping into the elevated context -- that should be low-risk unless you end up with something that's specifically tailored to your environment.
2) For COM servers configured as "Activate as Activator," COM does some very strict matching to ensure that the client/caller and the COM server have the same security attributes -- this was actually the case pre-Vista as well (e.g., blocked from clients started with runas.exe, running in a different TS session, running with a filtered token, etc). It's done to prevent attacks against the client both via spoofing (i.e., malware can spoof the class/ROT registration) and COM callbacks (from the lower-privileged server). One possible solution for you would be to route the script to something running as the interactive user, and then to call Outlook from there -- the simplest solution that comes to mind would be to use a Scheduled Task for this (i.e., script passes the information to the task, which invokes Outlook).
3) You can actually configure the UAC policies to change the prompt type from "Consent" to "Credentials" for cases where users have (effectively) multiple admin accounts. Take a look at http://blogs.msdn.com/uac/archive/2006/01/22/516066.aspx for a good walk-through and screenshots with secpol.msc.
4) If the program is marked as "requireAdministrator," we won't accept anything less than a full admin token -- in the example you gave, the user will actually get a credential prompt (rather than consent) since the user's elevated token doesn't contain the "Administrators" SID.
Thanks for your response Jonathan! Some great detail there.
A quick follow-up on some of the questions:
2) Good details regarding communication with Outlook. But I think creating a script which launches via Scheduled tasks which then picks up message contents via an intermediate INI file or through some kind of listening code is beyond the reach of most administrators. Unless Microsoft provides some guidance/sample code to support this approach, I think most admins will simply end up elevating Outlook. However, if COM is as strict as you say it is, elevation of Outlook may not be the end of the world. I think another valid approach would be to find a third-party e-mail package that isn't quite so strict. I assume that if I am elevating a tool it would still be able to communicate with any application operating at the user level – such as a third-party e-mail product.
3) Yes, I've seen the Consent vs. Credentials security settings before, but that is not a very friendly solution. The problem is that the consent approach is great for 98% of a user's experience – particularly when they have legacy apps that need local admin rights in order to run. It's just that remaining 2% where there is no way to elevate to another admin account at all. It wouldn't be very nice if we make someone suffer 98% of the time by forcing credentials just to make the remaining 2% possible. There are two things that I would like to see change – either of which would greatly improve my situation. One would be to offer a button on the consent prompt such as "enter credentials" so that the user can choose to enter credentials for another account for only the 2% of the time when it is required. I also really miss the "Run As…" option on the context menu. As discussed, the "Run as administrator…" prompt has its limitations.
Currently, most of our administrators have resorted to using the RUN AS command from a CMD window in order to get their work done. It's funny to have this beautiful OS, but to spend all our time in a black DOS screen. This problem would go away if we could get a RUN AS on the context menu (I just might try to write one).
While I've got your ear, I'd love it if you would explain to everyone the behavior of the Windows Explorer (file manager). It clearly doesn't follow the usual application elevation rules. We now use the "Launch folder windows in a separate process" option to allow us to elevate Explorer, but even with that option it will not allow us to elevate to another admin account. If we travel to a user's desk, it is not possible to elevate Explorer with an admin account and perform functions reserved for administrators. In fact, Explorer is downright misleading on the whole subject. If we try to manage files in the System32 folder with a user account, Explorer will prompt for all sorts of credentials and things as if it will elevate us, but in the end we don't get what we need. Either nothing happens or we get messages unrelated to what is really happening. This has been very frustrating and has cost many people time as they scratch their heads trying to figure out what is happening. What is happening? Could you tell us?
At the moment, the only way we have been able to do our jobs has been to perform things like system32 file management from the DOS prompt. Lately we have actually been finding third-party file management programs on administrator PCs. It was surprising, but actually makes sense. Third-party file managers look like normal applications to Vista and therefore elevates normally. It then becomes possible for administrators to do a lot of their work without resorting to a DOS CMD window.
Thanks for your time Jonathan, it is much appreciated,
Gordon Martin
I am not sure what I am experienced has anything to do with UAC, but I suspect it does.
I am logged in as a regular user ("annius") and I am in the administrators group. When I create a folder in my Documents folder, it is owned by "annius" as I would expect. When I create a folder on the desktop, it ends up owned by "Administrator" (I don't need to answer any prompts to get it owned by Administrator). Subsequently, I can't rename it or put anything inside it.
Could this be because I once "elevated" and as of that moment I my Windows explorer runs as "Administrator"?
This happens regardless of whether I have UAC enabled or disabled.
The only thing that is special is that this happens on a laptop machine that operates inside the windows domain at work when I am at work, then I put it to sleep, and take it out of sleep at home where the domain "is not there". Again, not sure that that has anything to do with the problem.
Whether it can happen on XP or not, we would hope that Vista and beyond would be better
I'm new to Vista/Windows 7 (i.e. UAC), I just installed Windows 7 a few weeks ago on my Wife's computer, and today I took the plunge and installed Windows 2008 R2 on a new computer I bought for myself. I'm a developer.
So far, I must heartily agree with the second post in this thread, that there is something messed up with fileshares. I'm seeing more or less the same behavior as he descirbed.
I've created a user on the Windows 7 computer, and added him to the administrators group and every other group on the computer, and then I gave all of these groups read/write access to a new fileshare.
However, the only way I can access the share is if use the "Administrator" account for the credentials to access the fileshare.
The other account can access the public share, but not the additional shares.
I'm not looking for a solution - this is a home network, I'll just login with the Administrator account and be happy ever after - but I'm just trying to underscore a problem and provide some agreeance with that poster, even if it is 2 years later

After attending Key Issues Institute in Silverthorne, Colo. this summer, teachers Michelle Brooks from Moultrie Middle School and Victoria Palmiter from Goose Creek High School are bringing new teaching tools to their classrooms for conducting hands-on investigations around local environmental issues.
The teachers were among 30 of their peers who attended the weeklong Key Issues Institute sponsored by the Alcoa Foundation.
The curriculum used promotes a collaborative approach to scientific investigation that includes problem solving, labs, data collection and simulations. It also meets education standards in several disciplines and is designed to promote complex problem solving and build learning skills.
"It was a wonderful opportunity for me to learn about new curriculum to use in my science classroom," said Palmiter. "The cross-curriculum provides a great way for students to learn about key environmental issues in such a way that they become more active citizens in their own communities."
Key Issues Institute provides educators with curriculum materials, lab equipment and online support from staff and other educators. It also offers teachers an opportunity to develop new professional networks and share best practices.
"The partnership between the Alcoa Foundation and the Keystone Education Center enables teachers from our area to gain unique environmental training they can use to excite students about science and promote environmental awareness and stewardship," said Mike Rousseau, Alcoa Mt. Holly Plant Manger.
"We look forward to seeing how they will utilize their new skills and share ideas with other teachers in their schools and districts."
Since 1997, Alcoa Foundation has sent 209 teachers from Alcoa communities to the Key Issues Institute, including 17 from the Tri-County region since 2001.

Firefighters battle honey farm blaze
Shed at farm destroyed in fire
Published 9:23 PM CDT Mar 27, 2013
Firefighters in Sheboygan County battled a blaze in a large shed at honey farm on Wednesday.
Authorities said they received several 911 calls of the fire on Highview Road in Lyndon.
Firefighters from the Cascade Fire Department responded to the blaze, and they requested help from several other departments in the area.
No injuries were reported, and officials said the bees were not hurt because they are wintering in Florida.
The shed was destroyed.

WASHINGTON – Big-money rewards led to the capture of two of Saddam Hussein's sons and the man behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and State Department officials said Wednesday that they're confident $10 million in rewards would lead them to the killers of Buffalo-born diplomat John M. Granville as well.
When a paid informant led them to Qusay and Uday Hussein in Iraq in 2003, "within 18 days, we were able to locate them and bring them to justice," said Robert A. Hartung, assistant director for threat investigations and analysis at the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security. The sons of the deposed Iraqi dictator were killed by U.S. special forces.
Earlier, thanks to the State Department's "Rewards for Justice" program, authorities got a tip that led them to Ramzi Yousef, perpetrator of the first World Trade Center bombing, who was convicted and sent to prison in 1995.
"It has been a very successful program to bring terrorists to justice," Hartung said. "We hope in this case it will be the same for us."
The State Department's reward program doesn't always get its man.
Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar have been on the State Department's bounty list for years, despite an offer of multimillion-dollar rewards. And Jaber A. Elbaneh, who helped the "Lackawanna Six" terror suspects, remains at large despite a $5 million bounty on his head.
Still, Hartung stressed that the program has brought more than 80 suspected terrorists to justice since its inception in 1984, although often it's one of the government's hidden successes.
"Most of the time we don't even comment on when an award has been paid or hasn't been paid," Hartung said.
The State Department announced Tuesday that it is offering awards of $5 million apiece for information leading to the capture of Mohamed Makawi Ibrahim, the organizer and first shooter in the attack on Granville, and Abdelbasit Alhaj Alhassan Haj Hamad, the second shooter.
The two men led an ambush where Granville and his driver were killed as they were leaving a New Year's Eve party in Khartoum, Sudan, on Jan. 1, 2008.
In total, four men who took part in the ambush were sentenced to death by a Sudanese court in connection with the murders, but they escaped in 2010. One of the escapees was quickly recaptured, and the other died in Somalia in 2011, but Hamad and Ibrahim remain at large.
The State Department believes the two fugitives are in Somalia, but "they could be anywhere," Hartung conceded.
"I can't discuss the evidence we have concerning either one of these individuals," he added.
The rewards are being offered years after the men escaped because the State Department has a deliberate process to determine when to set such bounties.
A review committee only recently recommended rewards for information leading to the capture of Granville's escaped assailants, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton signed off on that recommendation, Hartung said.
In a conference call with American and African reporters Wednesday, Hartung was joined by Earl W. Gast, assistant administrator for Africa at the U.S. Agency for International Development, where Granville worked.
Gast praised Granville, a Canisius High School graduate and former Peace Corps volunteer, as well as his Sudanese driver, Adbelrahman Abbas Rahama, for their devotion to the agency and the people it serves.
"Shortly after John's death, a photo was published with him standing around these Sudanese women, all of whom were holding up radios that John worked so hard to get them," Gast said.
"To John and ultimately those women, those radios were more than tools of information; they were sources of empowerment and the beginnings of peace," he said.
"That's just a small portrait of a man who loved his work, and was loved by the people who worked with him," Gast added.

Your Take: Drop the Penny & Nickel?
|Email Print
It currently costs more to make a penny and a nickel than they're actually worth. So that begs, the question, should we really be expending resources arguing about how to reconstitute the coins (switching to cheaper metals) or should we just drop the coins all together?
What's funny is that the fact that the coins are worth more for their metals than they are in stores isn't even a big deal. There's so much fiat money floating around that the Mint could always just print just a few more hundred dollar bills to compensate and the public would have no idea (other than inflation would tick a micro-fraction higher, but they play with that number anyway). The bigger issue is that we, as tax-payers, are paying for coins that many wouldn't even pick up on the street!
What's your take? Retire the penny and the nickel? Keep the little guys because we need something to stick in our piggy banks?{ 33 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

There's a reason sayings exist, because they're true! Once I turned myself onto (that's what she said?) the darker side of beer, there was no going back. I love a lot of beer and I embrace all styles, but my heart lies with porters and stouts. How could you not enjoy chocolate and coffee flavored beers?
Despite separate names, Porters and Stouts are basically the same. They're the identical twins of beer. They look the same yet have subtle personality differences. But they're not creepy like those twins in The Shining. Instead, they're delicious! Porters received their name due to their popularity among river porters in London during the 18th century. Porters are made from dark roasted malts, but flavors vary from beer to beer. Stronger versions used to be distinguished by Strong Porter, Extra Porter, Double Porter, and Stout Porter. Porter was eventually dropped from Stout Porter and most will argue that Stouts are stronger than Porters. But the only ones arguing are true beer geeks.
