Security Ready, But Officials Say No Specific Terrorism Threat
February 7, 2012 by staff
Security Ready, But Officials Say No Specific Terrorism Threat, One of the nation's preeminent scientists is speaking out for the first time about what he says is the government's failure to coordinate preparations and response plans in the case of a biological attack or naturally occurring pandemic.
Dr. D.A. Henderson, the epidemiologist who led the global effort to eradicate smallpox and is a leading voice on biodefense, told The Huffington Post that no one is in charge when it comes to dealing with the fallout from a biot*rror*sm attack.
"I've kept quiet about this for a long time, but I'm deeply concerned," said Henderson, who was named chief of a new Office of Public Health Preparedness in the Department of Health and Human Services soon after the 2001 anthrax attacks.
In a preview of a speech he plans to make later this month at the Public Health Preparedness Summit in Anaheim, Calif., Henderson said that a decade of work to ramp up the nation's biodefenses on the local, state and federal levels has not resulted in an overall strategy on what to do in the critical hours after an attack is detected.
Should officials launch a mass evacuation? Advise people to stay home and "shelter in place"? For how long? And who should receive medical countermeasures such as vaccines and antibiotics — emergency workers and those in the vicinity of an outbreak, or everyone? The 2001 anthrax attacks killed five people and prompted 30,000 people to be treated with antibiotics, Henderson said. Public health and homeland security officials have said they worry a much larger attack could engulf an entire city, killings hundreds of thousands and requiring treatment for millions more.
"This has been discussed for years. It's still not decided — what do we recommend?" said Henderson, who was a 2002 recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. "Nobody is really in charge. Somebody has got to take the lead."
The Obama administration launched in 2009 a "National Strategy for Countering Biological Threats," which emphasizes the need for all sectors of society to coordinate their response in an emergency. But Henderson said "they're not" coordinating. "Part of it is it's complicated. There's inertia."
This isn't the first time red flags have been raised about how unprepared the nation is to counter a biological emergency. In October, the Bipartisan WMD Terrorism Research Center issued a Bio-Response Report Card that gave failing grades to the nation with regard to its readiness to deal with a large-scale pandemic. That same month, The New York Times magazine published an article that depicted a biodefense establishment disorganized to the point of dysfunction. Dozens of agencies and officials have some involvement in biodefense, yet no one person or department oversees them all, the magazine reported. Inter-agency back-biting and finger-pointing are common, as are politically suspect decisions that may have compromised the nation's stockpile of life-saving vaccines and medical countermeasures, the article said.
Randall Larsen, the head of the WMD Center who famously slipped a vial of anthrax-like weaponized powder past White House guards a few days after 9/11, said it is impossible to prevent a biological attack. The only defense is quick action to mitigate the damage, he said.

James C. Duff, an influential figure in Washington's legal circles for the past 36 years, was named the new president of the Newseum on Tuesday.
Duff, 57, held two staff meetings Tuesday. Since 2006, he has been the chief administrative officer of the U.S. court system, and he told that staff of his pending departure. Then he addressed the staff at the Newseum, where from 2000 to 2006 he was outside counselor.
"I was very familiar with the organization and what its mission is. I like the purpose of educating the public about the freedoms that we have," Duff said.The Newseum, open on Pennsylvania Avenue NW since April 2008, focuses on the First Amendment and media issues in a broad spectrum of exhibitions and forums.
In Washington, Duff has worked for blue-chip law firms, Georgetown University's law school and the inner sanctums of the U.S. Supreme Court. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. appointed him in 2006 to the office with a $7 billion budget and a federal judicial army of 35,000 employees. The Newseum has 139 employees.
Duff's museum experience came through his judicial ties. When he was counselor and administrative assistant to William H. Rehnquist, he helped prepare the chief justice for his chancellor duties at the Smithsonian Institution. And the U.S. Supreme Court has its own small museum. "Chief Burger converted the ground floor to a museum, and I worked with the curator's office. The court has 1 million visitors a year," Duff said.
For 10 years, he has taught civil liberties and constitutional law at Georgetown, where he earned his law degree. "For the last two years, I have brought students to see the 9/11 materials and the film. That is very powerful. I have a strong affinity for what the museum does and what our freedoms are," Duff said.
Duff, a native of Hamilton, Ohio, graduated from the University of Kentucky and was a walk-on member of its basketball team. "We were the number one freshman class in the country. When we were seniors, I was no longer on the team, but we were national runner-up. They were beaten by UCLA," recalled Duff, who played guard.
Although the Newseum has a double-digit admission price ($21.95 for two consecutive days for adults), crowds have taken advantage of special offers and group rates. In April, it had 84,000 visitors, its highest monthly total since its opening and an increase of 18 percent over the same period in 2010.
Duff will take over sometime this summer from Charles L. Overby, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who is retiring. In a statement, Overby said: "He understands our First Amendment mission thoroughly. His fresh perspective will keep the programs of the Freedom Forum and the Newseum relevant and compelling."

Fireman says he was sexually assaulted with frozen sausage by colleagues
A firefighter was indecently abused by several of his colleagues with a frozen sausage, he told a court.
Novices on Green Watch at Tilbury fire station in Essex were subjected to degrading "initiations" and "pranks" during the late 1980s and early 1990s, Basildon Crown Court was told.
Anthony Benham, 50, of Stanford-le Hope, and Ian Maguire, 55, of Benfleet, allegedly carried out the abuse, jurors heard.
Both face four counts of indecent assault and 10 counts of false imprisonment between 1988 and 1997.
One firefighter, who cannot be named for legal reasons, described to the jury how several of his colleagues sexually assaulted him with a frozen sausage.
He said he was "jumped on" by around four other officers who pulled his trousers down and bent him over a gym horse.
"My hands and feet were held to prevent me from kicking and lashing out," he added.
"The next thing I was aware there was something ... I presumed it was a frozen sausage, but it may have been a mop handle or broom handle. It was cold with a rounded end.
"That was sort of teased around the cheeks of my bum to make me think 'You know where this is going', it was sort of a mind game.
"Later it did find a way to my bum.
"It was just a quick little inserted push just to indicate 'We're actually going for it' and then it ended."
He told the jury he did not think it was done for "sexual gratification" but was "intended to humiliate and knock you down a little bit".
"It was just another little prank that I put down to experience," he added.
In another incident he was left tied to a ladder outdoors in winter, naked and soaked in freezing water.
He said: "There was an atmosphere of excitement, people were jeering and shouting. It was quite apparent they're having a great time stitching someone up, really.
"I didn't want them to do it - I would have been hitting out verbally, but it didn't do any good."
"I remember feeling extremely cold," he added.
"I was left there for a period of time."
The witness said it was "degrading" and that members of the public could have seen him while he was naked.
He was subjected to other incidents of verbal and physical abuse on a regular basis, the court was told.
"It was a very unpleasant environment to work in - intimidating, demoralising - and it ground me down," he added.
The case continues.

Oí de Moçambique
Hi, I'm Shannon from San Francisco, CA and I am a Fellow working with Kiva's MFI partner, Hluvuku-Adsema, in Mozambique on the southeastern coast of Africa. The country is probably best known for its magnificent beaches, but I will spend most of my time in the equally pretty interior.
After what amounted to 29 hours in flight and two more hours bumping along a dirt highway, I was happy to arrive at Hluvuku's headquarters in the small town of Bela-Vista. Just south of the capital Maputo, the vila boasts one paved road and is home to about 4,000 residents. At one end of the Rua Principal is a church, grocery store, primary school and the Hluvuku-Adsema office. A ten minute walk to the other end is where I'm staying at the Quinta Mila; a motel on beautifully landscaped grounds run by Sra. Emília Dos Santos, a client of Hluvuku-Adsema and one of Mozambique's most renowned female entrepreneurs. Hers is my first example that microfinance works, having built her business with the help of successive loans, today she caters to tourists passing through to/from South Africa and Maputo weekenders escaping the smog. She and the staff have taken me in like family; even the guard dogs Lady and Fofo shadow me everywhere (helpful companions when trying to get past other territorial dogs at night).
The Hluvuku-Adsema name holds bilingual significance: 'Hluvuku' means development in the predominant Bantu-based Ronga dialect and 'Adsema' is an acronym for the Portuguese equivalent of Association of Socio-Economic Development of Matutuíne. The districts served are rural and offer limited infrastructure to people in the throes of rebuilding their communities after a destructive sixteen year civil war and an ongoing battle against the HIV virus. Hluvuku-Adsema helps fill this void.
On my first day out in the field, I hopped on the back of loan officer Arlindo's moto to meet with my first client in Salamanga village! Gas is expensive so motorcycles are the way to go. I quickly came to appreciate the hard work of loan officers who traverse miles of unkept, rugged roads to see as many clients as possible in a day to maximize efficiency. But as a passenger I enjoyed taking in the landscape; a vast green savanna on dusty red earth, a mixture of mud/wood and concrete block homes peppering the roadside, and men and women (dressed in vibrant traditonal capulana skirts and lenço headwraps) in constant motion skillfully carrying goods atop their heads, children on their backs, and herding livestock.
I have to admit that long days of meetings in the sun, trying to converse in a language I haven't used in years, was initially tiring, but utlimately so rewarding. The people I've met are warm, welcoming, and predominantly single mothers who work long days to support several children and their extended families. Limited family funds allowed them to be schooled only through the 5th or 6th grade and, as a result, they speak very little Portuguese – I rely on Arlindo to translate between my Portuguese and their Ronga. While I didn't initially understand the meaning of their words, their enthusiasm and smiles made it abundantly clear the positive impact this loan has had on their quality of life. And the more people I speak with, the more I see firsthand how even the smallest of loans can and do make a measurable difference.
Até logo! I'm off now to live and work in Boane (two hours northwest) to be closer to the majority of Hluvuku's entrepreneurial clients and… Internet access por fim!

Private Essential 412 Thread Count Wrinkle Free Lace Flat Sheet Private Essential 412 Thread Count Wrinkle Free Lace Trim Pillowcases (Set of 2)
Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 46 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by EJ95 Poor quality--beautiful, but waste of money I bought the flat, fitted, and pillow cases in this series for a guest room. I bought an additional set of the same to use when I changed the sheets. In past years with lessor thread count, my sheets have worn with 0 rips for over 20 years. These fitted sheets, used in a guest room with very few people visiting, ripped right down the middle. Fortunately for me, my son was here when that occurred. How embarrassing it would have been if a real guest had been sleeping on those sheets! I bought a spare fitted to replace the ripped one because the top sheet seemed o.k. Recently when putting the top sheet on the bed, I noticed it was also ripped from the top edge of the lace to the point where the lace ends--very frustrating. I wash in warm water on gentle cycle. I did not complain because it had been probably 4 yrs since I purchased them, and I did not think they would do anything about it. These sheets were used very infrequently. This can't be Egyptian cotton! October 13, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5�by Pirate1808 Poor quality I'm now 75 years old, so I've had my share of sheets. But not until I owned two full sets of these sheet did any of them rip. I have now discarded all but the pillow cases -- the sheets simply ripped or got "runs" in them. They were lovely to look at, but didn't last. September 27, 2016

Each Piece is Lovingly Hand-Made
I grew up as the second oldest of nine children and I learned at a young age how to make things with my hands. Nothing went to waste in our house; every bit of colored paper, yarn, or bead was re-purposed into a fun, hand-made creation.
Eventually, I discovered a love for making bridal jewelry which led me to Etsy. I opened my shop in summer of 2012, naming it after one of my siblings.
I take great pride in my hand-made jewelry. Each supply is carefully scrutinized before I begin making a new piece. I check each pearl and rhinestone carefully to ensure that only the highest quality jewelry awaits brides on their special day.
My greatest joy is getting the many happy emails and positive comments from customers that have worn my lovingly hand-made jewelry.

Chapter Six: Mr Emerson
Philip left Adam's apartment and walked to the station. Master had forbidden him to take a cab to his house; his orders were to use public transportation so anyone could see him shuffling uncomfortably on his caned ass. He sat on the train, trying not to squirm, and thought about the situation.
Mr Strickland had been harsh with him, but not as severe as Master was. The punishment hadn't been too bad—twenty to his ass was nothing—and it had been exciting to be disciplined by another Master. He had been intrigued by Mr Strickland's new sub. He knew that Adam usually played with experienced men, and this wide-eyed innocent was something else with his soft skin and his big ass. Philip was a careful observer of the relations between the Doms he served and he knew that Master had an interest in what Mr Strickland got up to—not that he would ever be allowed to discuss it. Master and Mr Strickland were Men. Philip was a boy at the best of times, a slave more usually. His role was to service Men and they did not address him on equal terms.
As he took the train ride, Philip's mind ran over the causes of his punishment. A few days earlier, after a strenuous work-out at the gym, he had stopped for a beer. The exercise had not quite dispelled the stresses of the day at work at his father's firm. He knew he needed something else. The place was busy so he stood at the bar to drink. A good-looking guy had asked to join him and they had chatted for a while. The man was sensual and attractive and he introduced himself as Tad. Philip let him buy him a beer. He seemed genuinely interested in Philip's life, and they had struck up quite a lively conversation before Tad laid an exploratory hand on Philip's arm.
Philip did not move. The guy was open and friendly. Philip thought for a moment that this is what it must be like to have a normal relationship replete with mutual respect and satisfaction, where genuine displays of affection might happen at any time. Tad's touch was gentle and his blue eyes smiled at Philip. What would happen if he went home with Tad? Would they kiss and hold each other close? Would they tenderly take off each other's clothes? Would Tad lay him gently on the bed and push up his legs to ease himself into Philip? He imagined the confusion creeping into those blue eyes when Tad saw Philip kneel to kiss his boots, begging to be fucked mercilessly, begging to feel the force of his Master's hand across his ass. Tad had an open and friendly face. He wore a plaid shirt and Philip would not have been at first certain that he was gay, let alone interested in the deep kinks that drove Philip sexually.
Lost in these thoughts, Philip didn't at first react when Tad put his hand on his shoulder and let it travel gently but firmly down his back. For a blissful moment it felt good. But as he felt the hand caress his ass he was jerked back into his own reality, and opened a button on his shirt to reveal his chain collar. Tad had smiled ruefully and told him that he was a regular at the bar if things changed. They chatted a little more, and they shook hands before leaving.
Why had he repeated this story on his knees to Master? Master didn't frequent that bar—there was no reason he could have known what had happened. But the terrible compulsion to confess had been too much for Philip as it always was: the need to abase himself at Master's feet and recount every shameful detail in the full knowledge that the punishment would be severe. Master would seize the opportunity to exact a prolonged retribution—the caning from Mr Strickland would be just the start of it. Master would take the time to enjoy himself. And Philip would suffer for him, as he always did. As he always would.
Philip arrived at Master's house and rang the bell, standing with head bowed. Five minutes passed excruciatingly slowly. As soon as the door opened he sank to his knees and in the same movement pressed his mouth against Master's boot.
Mark Emerson looked coldly down on his submissive and said nothing. The sight of the prone body, still wearing his business suit, squirming at his feet was pleasing, but just the start of a longer punishment. Philip was now licking his boots with some desperation. Mr Emerson prodded him thoughtfully with the toe of his boot and then walked round him to give him a sharp kick between the legs. His sub groaned between his teeth but continued to kiss and lick his Master's feet.
The pain shot through Philip's balls but he remained where he was. It was something he wanted, just as he needed to press his body as low as possibly onto the ground at Master's feet. He needed to feel himself shrinking down into pure sensation and obedience. His face pressed against Master's boot was where he needed to be. His wealth, his Harvard MBA, the expectations of his parents meant nothing here.
Without saying anything, Master walked into his living room with Philip crawling at his feet. A large screen hung from one wall. Projected onto it were the photographs Mr Strickland had taken of Philip's caned ass with the welts showing red and lurid. Master reached down and pulled up Philip's head by the hair to make him look at it as he flicked through the images. He held him up painfully for some time before finally speaking.
"So, how did you like your visit to Mr Strickland?"
"I gave him your note, Sir, and took my punishment as you directed."
"That's not what I asked. Did you enjoy it?"
Philip sensed the trap. "Only because that is what you ordered, Sir. Because it came from you. The cane hurt but I knew it was what I deserved."
"Oh, did you? I will tell you what you deserve," Master sneered. "And was Mr Strickland's new boy present?"
"Yes, Sir. Mr Strickland asked him to pick the cane, but he didn't tell him to use it."
"And what did he pick?"
"Bamboo, Sir. Quite painful."
"I don't recall asking for your worthless opinion. Did the boy enjoy watching you?"
Philip knew to be cautious. He kept his head down and his eyes on the floor. "I don't know, Master, I couldn't see him. I'm sorry, Master. Mr Strickland had me strapped down to a spanking bench."
"How convenient. Perhaps you would have liked Strickland to fuck you in the ass while he was about it?"
"No, Master, my ass is yours." A mistake. Master smirked again.
"I don't think it is. It seems you would prefer to whore your slut ass out in bars to anyone who cares to grope it. Now let me see Mr Strickland's handiwork. Show me your ass."
Philip undid his pants and gingerly edged them and his briefs down over his striped ass. He kept his head low. Mark Emerson took off his belt and ran it across Philip's back ending with several hard smacks to his already sore buttocks. "Don't tell me you need to be reminded already of the consequences of that behaviour."
Philip flinched but remained silent. His options had run out a long time ago. Master lashed him with the buckle end of the belt and he cried out with the pain. Master ignored his discomfort.
"I see you agree with me. You clearly prefer to take any man up your ass rather than the man that ass in fact belongs to. Perhaps you need to be reacquainted with your Master's cock."
"Yes, Master, if it pleases you."
"We will find out if you can please me. Take off those ridiculous clothes."
Philip got out of his suit as quickly as he could and crouched submissively in his collar at Master's feet with his forehead on the ground. Master groped his caned ass, digging his finger nails into the welts. It was excruciating. He risked a glance up to see if Master needed to be sucked, but he was already hard and his cock was rigid in his hand. Philip was not going to be allowed the honor of worshiping Master's cock. That was far too intimate.
Philip's complete submission sent shots of lust through his Master. He hauled him to his feet and pushed his head down into a chair. Philip did not need to be told what to do. Bracing himself on the arms of the chair he raised his ass and spread his legs wide to open up his buttocks, presenting himself subserviently to his Master. Master pushed into his hole and, without giving him any time to adjust, began to thrust, stabbing his cock repeatedly into Philip's ass.
"Hold your whore ass open for me," Master commanded. Philip willingly reached round and pulled his butt cheeks open for his Master's cock, making himself complicit in his own degradation. No control. No options. Master was right. He was a whore, kneeling with legs spread and ass shamelessly presented. There could be no absolution for his disobedience, only punishment, and he held his ass up to take it. Master was deep in him already, grunting with the effort as he took his pleasure with no concern for his sub.
The pain was considerable, and made so much worse by the caning Philip had received to his inner cheeks. But it felt to Philip like a white, cleansing fire. He did not know why he needed this so badly. Why he willingly allowed himself to be reduced to this piece of flesh. He knew he could never please Master but while he was being fucked or whipped he lost his continual fear of failing. To be abject like this absolved him all questions of success or failure. They had no purchase here--only the overwhelming sensation of pain, force and the unrelenting will of his Master.
At last he felt Master pull out and opened his mouth in expectation. "You spill a drop and we start all over again with your punishment!" Master shoved his cock unceremoniously into his mouth and shot his load down his throat. Philip managed to swallow all the cum. He cleaned Master's cock carefully with his mouth and waited submissively with his eyes on the floor again. Sometime Master kept him naked and chained on the floor next to his bed in case he should wish to be serviced during the night. But Master was turning his back to him dismissively. "Get out," he said, sounding almost bored.
Philip hastily collected his clothes and went to dress discretely by the door when Master suddenly called him back.
"And have you learned your lesson?" he said coldly.
Philip could hardly speak quickly enough: "Yes, Master. I'm sorry I disrespected you. I'll never do it again. I live to serve you, Sir. You are my only …" Master interrupted him.
"I'm afraid I don't think you have learned your lesson at all. As you are so eager to share your filthy ass—which is, in fact, my property—with the world, I have decided to invite some friends round to sample it. You will receive instructions."
"Yes, Master." Philip backed out and closed the door quietly behind him.
Mark Emerson sat flicking thoughtfully through the photographs Adam had taken and stroking his cock. Philip's transgression had fueled his sadistic imagination. It was very hard to bring a sub to the state of extreme subservience that Philip had demonstrated and Mark was proud of his work. He felt there were still untapped depths that Philip was willing to go to, but he was to some extent bound by the group of men with whom he shared BDSM. They regulated their society through unwritten but well-communicated rules that guaranteed absolute discretion and insisted that all play most be clearly consensual. Mark had to agree to all this, but he felt the other men were unnecessarily cautious.
Philip was proof of this in Mark's eyes. Mark was willing to push boundaries. He knew that he could do anything to Philip and the bitch would come back to him. Mark believed that limits could be established after they had been already transgressed and each limit could lead to a further transgression. Limits existed to be broken. But he also doubted that he could convince the other Doms of this philosophy. He sometimes thought of breaking away on his own, of keeping Philip as a slave and perhaps breaking in some new boys to the more extreme activities that he enjoyed. But he needed the anonymity that the group—which contained a number of lawyers like himself and Adam Strickland —provided, as well as the pleasure of exchanging subs, or fucking them together with the other Dominants.
It was fascinating for Mark to watch the levels of submission that Philip could push himself to. In the beginning there had been the usual struggle with normal desires and fears, but now his descent in abjection was immediate. It took very little to have the boy squirming at his feet, begging for more humiliation. It was a strange bond that they were caught up in.
Sending the boy to Strickland for punishment had awoken something else in his mind. There was something about Adam that worked on Mark like a piece of grit in his shoe. He saw in Adam elements of his own love of inflicting pain and it irked him that Adam appeared—at least to the outside world—more self-restrained. Boys fell in love with Adam and that gave him great power. Mark couldn't understand why he didn't use it to the full.
Mark had joined the legal partnership of Lombardi and Hecht some months ago. It had been he who had recommended Adam to Mr Lombardi, Owen's boss. Mark was the kind of man who liked to store up these little favors in case they might be used a later date. He had spotted Owen several months earlier but hadn't thought him worth consideration. Owen had seemed very vanilla--not at all the type of boy who usually found his way into Mark's sadistic embrace. But now Adam, with his charm and elegance, had pounced on the boy and stolen him from under Mark's nose and Owen was becoming an object of interest to Mark.
Now he had seen a way of righting this perceived slight. The tight circle of Dominants that Mark and Adam belonged to arranged regular meetings. They would end the evening at a highly specialized and exclusive BDSM club whose members were very carefully vetted. But it was their custom to meet first at each other's houses for drinks and a little sexual appetizer. The host's sub would be on hand to provide the entertainment and would be used by the men to arouse them before they moved on to a more spectacular experience at the club.
Mark knew that Philip would enjoy being used by a group of men, and he had to acknowledge that it was necessary to give the boy some reward now and again for his subservience and his confessions. But more importantly, it would give him the opportunity to explore further Adam's relationship with his new sub.
Mark gave his mind to planning the occasion. He would arrange a small party for the men in his circle to have drinks and get their cocks sucked. Mr Strickland and his boy would be at the top of the invitation list.

HTML Table Listing Report: Show PDF link and make it clickableAsked by chromaticstudios on August 25, 2015 at 05:30 PM
I like the option of sharing the table view. Is it possible for someone to be able to click on the submission they'd like to view and then be taken to either a viewable version of the submission or to download a pdf?
I would like to confirm if I understand your exact requirement. You would like to have an option for having PDF submission files included in the Table Report, just as you can have the Edit Links?
This is just a demonstrational image, we do not yet have the option to include the PDF. Would this be what you are asking for?
If so, we could forward it as a feature request for possible inclusion to our developers.
As a different possible workaround, since you are already giving this person access to your submissions, you may want to set them up as a sub-user to your account:
How to Share Forms with a Sub Account User
As a sub-user, they will be able to use the Get PDF function on your form's Submissions page. However, this would also allow them to edit your existing submissions, just as you can by using the Edit link on any of your submissions. I hope this helps.
Yes!! That is exactly what I want. Our submissions are requests for a job. I'd like to be able to tell the employee the request id and they can go to the table and download the pdf. This would be a great way for us to cut down on email.
JotForm Support
Unfortunately, there's no option to display the PDF link in the HTML Table listing report. But I will escalate this as a feature request to our developers. Please do note that we're unable guarantee that this will be implemented, if we hear any news, we will surely update you on this thread.
For now, as an alternative, the RSS report might be what you are looking for: https://www.jotform.com/help/216-How-to-Create-an-RSS-Listing-Report. It shows the submission details.
Yes, please!! If this could be implemented it would really solve a lot of things for me. Thanks!!
Your feature request has been forwarded to our developers, and we will be sure to let you know through this thread if it is implemented. However, as my colleague also pointed out, we can't give any guarantees or estimates on when this might be.
>> I'd like to be able to tell the employee the request id and they can go to the table and download the pdf.
A completely different workaround to have your submission PDFs downloadable by your employees, could be to set up either an integration with Dropbox, or Google Drive. This would make all your future submission PDFs be automatically forwarded to these third-party storage drives.
Then, you could make your folder containing the PDF submission files accessible to your employees, by using Google or Dropbox sharing features.
I hope this helps.

Skip to comments.Eccentric candidates make for strange Idaho gubernatorial debate
Posted on 05/16/2014 8:02:13 AM PDT by ImJustAnotherOkie
Idaho's Republican governor and his Tea Party challenger were completely overshadowed Wednesday by a biker who claimed God told him he would be president and a longtime Idaho resident with 16 children who said he went to jail for home schooling.
Harley Brown came dressed in his biker regalia. In his opening remarks he proclaimed that after a low point in his life, God told him he would become the commander in chief.
Brown said he is running against political correctness, saying it "sucks" and is bondage. He said he is also fighting to stop discrimination against bikers, who he said are cop magnets who get pulled over as often as Playboy bunnies get hit on.
You have your choice, folks, he said. A cowboy, a curmudgeon, a biker, or a normal guy. Take your pick. For the record, he thinks Fulcher is the normal guy.
The other long shot, Walt Bayes, primarily discussed his anti-abortion views. When asked by a reporter if he could actually do the job of governor, he noted he was willing to go to jail for home schooling and was willing to serve as governor and stop abortions until thrown out of office.
He also said he wants to take back the land in Idaho from the federal government. Hammering his family's anti-government credentials, he said his wife drove for three years without a license because she didnt want to take her car for an emissions test.
Weve got a bunch of eastern idiots running everything, he said.
The debate was a throwback to the infamous 2010 debate among New York gubernatorial candidates where the "rent is too damn high" candidate Jimmy McMillan and an adult film star stole the show.
(Excerpt) Read more at nation.foxnews.com ...
Harley Brown is a nut, I saw him on Jimmy Kimmel last night.
Harley Brown debate video.
I think I remember him from the Any Which Way but Loose movie.
What's the difference between Larry the Cable Guy and Brownie the Biker Guy.
Larry is an actor playing the part of Brownie.
I don't know much about these guys because I'm not in Idaho but I have a hard time finding much to disagree with from Walt Bayes.
If I was a current events teacher I would show this video in class.
An excellent commentary on how people with different beliefs and agendas can be civil in a debate.
It would probably be a fire-able offense.
talk about diversity
how about a round table discussion featuring:
Harley Brown...and Gov. Butch Otter
And Fat Jack's Old Lady ain't too happy about it no how.
The fringe candidates appear to be quite likable on the personal level.
Russ Fulcher released a statement yesterday about the debate:
May 15th, 2014
(Meridian, ID) As the local and national media have picked up on the circus that was the Idaho Public Television debate last night, Idaho State Sen. Russ Fulcher and gubernatorial candidate spoke out:
Although they did not meet the debates qualifying criteria, governor Otter demanded inclusion of two perennial candidates, Walt Bayes and Harley Brown, as a contingency of his participation in the only debate he would agree to. As a result, the debate turned from a serious discussion regarding the position for Idahos Chief Executive, to a mockery of the republican party and of Idaho. Clearly, the governor wanted to take time away from me and minimize exposure to his failed record as governor. Apparently, governor Otter is content to have Idaho be a laughing stock so long as it improves his chance of winning an election.
Senator Fulcher continued, Idahoans deserve better. A governor should be willing to hold himself accountable and face a legitimate challenger in a public forum. I have nothing against Mr. Brown or Mr. Bayes, but Governor Otter was well aware of the environment he would create when he demanded their inclusion as a contingency of his participation. When I am governor, I will not subject my party or my state to this type of public humiliation.
Well, Fulcher obviously accepted the terms.
Well, the hack Governor wanted some people that would make him look good. It's obvious Fulcher has him out gunned at every turn.
If my house was surrounded by that crew, the Governor is the only one I wouldn't invite to a BBQ.

NFL Power Rankings
September 5, 2011 by staff
NFL Power Rankings, The NFL preseason is officially over, and teams now cut their workforce and start preparing for their first game of next week, but what is the best game in the opening week?
A number of quality games for the first week of the season, but take first place for several different reasons. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are both Super Bowl contenders and play hard, hard-nosed football and best of all their division rivals.
These teams played three games against each other in the 2010-11 season and each game was decided by a touchdown or less. Find another competition tough, physical, and the winner takes the lead in the AFC North.
Another great fight, but is the second week, the New Orleans Saints on the road to face the Packers in Green Bay. This game features the winner of the last two Super Bowls, and will be the opening game of the NFL season.
Both teams have a quarterback and All-Pro high-powered offenses, but the Packers have the advantage in defense and home field advantage in this contest.
The soap opera that is the NFL is ready to begin a new season, and a number of great stories that come next season, and what better way to start the season than with two excellent games like these. Like every season, teams will surprise both good and bad reasons, and from next week's NFL fans and the teams begin the journey of the 2011-12 season in the NFL.

Pwo Karen languages
(Redirected from Pwo languages)
|Phlou people
|Burma and across the border into Thailand
|Linguistic classification
The Pwo Karen languages are the second largest group of the Karen languages. The four languages are at best marginally mutually intelligible:
The people who speak these languages are referred to by many names, notably "Pwo Karen". The Pwo Karen people have lived in the eastern part of Burma for centuries, and in the western and northern parts of Thailand for at least seven or eight centuries.
The endonym is Phlou [pʰlou̯] or Ka Phlou [ka pʰlou̯], meaning "Karen" or "human beings".

When I add the login control to the page and log out (either via the control or the SiteFinity menu), then I get the following error attempting to access any of the anonymous pages:
Post cache substitution is not compatible with modules in the IIS integrated pipeline that
modify the response buffers. Either a native module in the pipeline has modified an HTTP_DATA_CHUNK structure associated with a managed post cache substitution callback, or a managed filter has modified the response
If I remove the login control from the page, the error goes away. Also, I do not have the error on my local machine. Is there a setting in IIS that needs to be changed?

I get all sorts of sores in my mouth all the time, whether they're canker sores or painful, white, swollen taste buds. What causes this to happen so often? I don't eat very many spicy or acidic foods at all. They're terribly painful.

Sounds like you have issues. If you smoke, you should stop. Try brushing your tongue when you brush your teeth. When you get the sores, try rinsing your mouth with salt water. If they are canker sores the salt will help dry them out. If you have a lot of dry mouth at night, try using Biotene Rinse three to four times a day to prevent dry mouth and hopefully tongue sores.

Thankfully, I don't smoke. Asthma and all! I use a mouthwash for canker sores, but it says not to use it more than seven days. I definitely have them longer than that! I've heard it might be my immune system, though.
Check out the Hub "How to Treat and Prevent Chronic Canker Sores In The Mouth", written by stevemark122000. It is very informative.
I asked a dentist about it once and he said they are caused by a virus. I would visit my dentist though, he may be able to give you a rinse or something to help out.

The problem can be, ill fitting dentures, or braces. Which, cause friction, and set up a breeding ground for infection. White, implies that it is fungal in nature, you may use olive leaf extract, as an oral rinse. Very effective against thrush. If it is canker sores, then its an imbalance of amino acids, lysine, and arginine. Caused from too much chocolate, or other high arginine foods. Lysine ointment, can be applied to these sores. As can coconut oil, which is high in lysine. Can also be caused from an imbalance of hormones. Flax seed oil, taken at 1000-2000mg daily, has been found to balance hormones. Among other supplements, a B-12 deficiency has been linked to sore mouths, and burning tongue, recommended dosage 1000mcg daily. I have added these items to my website, and are available through amazon.com. http://hubpages.com/@artist101

Kennedi, I can really relate to this question. One of my ex-wives wouldn't go near my mouth, ever, because of the sores I SOMETIMES had. (She feared herpes, and with her immune system being compromised as it was, she had reason.)
But I knew--just KNEW it wasn't herpes....and finally got rid of them once and for all.
I believe today that my greatest underlying problem was a mineral deficiency. When I started using a liquid potassium-mineral supplement (extensively, at times), the sores went away within days and never returned.
There will be a START of one every so often--maybe once every couple of years or so. I don't use that mineral supplement today, so when I get a sore like that, I immediately start using colloidal silver--holding it in the mouth, swishing, swallowing. Silver doesn't do much for a potassium deficiency (duh), but it does knock down a lot of viral and bacterial issues in a hurry. And I do take a daily mineral supplement, just not the liquid version I used for a dozen years or so.
Hope this helps.

Boxwood, which can perhaps best be described as a non-novel, has none of the structural signposts readers generally expect: there is no exposition, no crux, no denouement. Instead we have a mix of folklore, tradition, superstition, autobiographical snatches, cooking directions, a litany of nautical disasters on the coast of Death -- ships from afar with cargoes of oranges, typewriters, iron ore, oil, spices -- elements of nature both cruel and beautiful, of man both saint and sinner, whales, witches, mermaids, ghosts, the exquisite, the crass all against the background of Cela's birthplace, Galicia. In one of the early exchanges between reader and author that occur randomly in the text the reader understandably asks:
"Isn't this getting a little jumbled?" / "Just a shade jumbled." /
"Like life itself?." / "Yes, though I try not to say so."
Reader bear with him. There's gold to mine!

|How can I find messages that have been unconsumed for "too long"?
|Thu, 30 Aug 2007 10:12:16 GMT
Is there a way, either with filters or timeouts on queues, to get my hands on any messages that have been sitting in the queue for "too long"? My situtation/plan is to have a queue with multiple consumers. Each consumer will be using a selector to decide which messages to consume. Under ideal circumstances, all messages will have a consumer that wants them, but situations can arise where a message doesn't match any selector. I would like to have some mechanism whereby I can spot that the message is at the "front" of the queue but after n seconds still hasn't been consumed. This allows me to arrange for a consumer to start dealing with that particular message type. I looked at the JSMExpiration header which sounded about right, except that on expiry the outcome is to destroy the message. I would love to be able to ask the expiry processing to simply forward the message to another queue, for instance. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, -Dominic -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-can-I-find-messages-that-have-been-unconsumed-for-%22too-long%22--tf4353227s2354.html#a12404218 Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Dinas, the first station along the line, is also home to the railways workshops and loco shed, although these are separated from the public accessible station by the road to Saron, Ty'n Llan. When the reopening of the Welsh Highland Railway began Dinas was as far as the line run for a number of years whilst the restoration to Waunfawr progressed.
It consists of two through platforms together with a bay platform and a number of other sidings. It has a several flower beds, these being at the platform ends or near to the entrance. There are also a number of flower tubs on the platforms.
This station was one of those under the care of the Joint Landscaping Group, however is now looked after by Tym and Eirwen Crowther who tend to the tubs and flower beds etc. General site maintenance and enhancements are again covered by the main volunteer groups.

I'm a straight male, 21 years old. I love women, I've always loved women, I've always loved having sex with women. However, in the last year, here and there, I've jerked off to transsexual porn. One night, after drinking with a friend and smoking some hash, I arranged a date with a trans sex worker. She was totally womanly, nothing manly about her, except for, you know. She licked my butt, gave me head, and fingered me. I've been on the receiving end of anal play before from girls, so nothing new.
But somewhere during this encounter, I became the receiving partner during anal sex. At the time, I was too fucked up to care. But the next day, I started to feel REALLY bad. She was very safe and used condoms for everything. I just can't get past the fact that I did the gayest thing a guy can do. I feel really depressed about this traumatic situation. I can't seem to enjoy my life anymore.
I've even felt somewhat suicidal. (I would never kill myself—I wouldn't do that to my family and friends.) I still want to date women and have sex with women. I don't regret being with a trans woman because I wanted to experiment.
I've been tested since the encounter to make sure I didn't catch anything. What I regret is her sticking her thing in my butt. Can a single act like this make me gay? Please help.

Digital Inspiration has a pretty cool post that walks you through how to hide documents, such as a text file or Excel spreadsheet, in an image file. If someone tries to open the image they won't notice anything different because they will see an un-distorted picture that appears to be normal (except maybe for the file size).
The main thing that you need to do is use the following text at the command prompt:
copy /b imagename.jpg + documentname.xls generatedimage.jpg
That code is assuming that the files being used are located at the root of your drive. To "recover" the document you just need to change the extension back to the original file type.
This almost reminds me of those book safes (pictured above) because it may not be the easiest thing to find but once you do find it the contents are easy to get.

Smokeless tobacco products include chewing tobacco and snuff. These products are less harmful than smoking cigarettes. But they are just as
addictive as cigarettes and do have serious health risks.
Smokeless tobacco causes the following health risks:footnote 1
Nicotine from smokeless tobacco can lead to nicotine dependence. This can make quitting smokeless tobacco just as hard as quitting cigarettes.

Building Data apps with
python WORKSHOP
Data products are usually software applications that derive their value from data by leveraging the data science pipeline and generate data through their operation. They aren't apps with data, nor are they one time analyses that produce insights - they are operational and interactive. The rise of these types of applications has directly contributed to the rise of the data scientist and the idea that data scientists are professionals "who are better at statistics than any software engineer and better at software engineering than any statistician."
These applications have been largely built with Python. Python is flexible enough to develop extremely quickly on many different types of servers and has a rich tradition in web applications. Python contributes to every stage of the data science pipeline including real time ingestion and the production of APIs, and it is powerful enough to perform machine learning computations. In this class we'll produce a data product with Python, leveraging every stage of the data science pipeline to produce a book recommender.
What You Will Learn
Python is one of the most popular programming languages for data analysis. Because of this, it is important to have a basic working knowledge of the language in order to access more complex topics in data science and natural language processing. The purpose of this one-day course is to introduce the development process in Python using a project-based, hands-on approach. In particular you will learn how to structure a data product using every stage of the data science pipeline including ingesting data from the web, wrangling data into a structured database, computing a non-negative matrix factorization with Python, and then producing a web based report.
Course Outline
The workshop will cover the following topics:
- Basic project structure of a Python application
- virtualenv & virtualenvwrapper
- Managing requirements outside the stdlib
- Creating a testing framework with nose
- Ingesting data with requests.py
- Wrangling data into SQLite Databases using SQLAlchemy
- Building a recommender system with Python
- Computing a matrix factorization with Numpy
- Storing computational models using pickles
- Reporting data with JSON
- Data visualization with Jinja2
After this course you should understand how to build a data product using Python and will have built a recommender system that implements the entire data science pipeline.
The project that you will build is called "Octavo" and is a recommender system for a data science book club! You can view the code on Github: https://github.com/DistrictDataLabs/science-bookclub
You must be familiar with Python before participating in this course, and have familiarity with the command line. You must also have all software installed and ready for your particular operating system. Ensure that you perform the following tasks and are familiar with the concepts at the following links.
Instructor: Laura Lorenz
Laura received her Bachelor's from James Madison University, where she first started programming by using Python to manage autonomous computations while studying bacterial genomics. She now works as a data and software engineer, implementing and operating diverse solutions with both the data and web team using Python tools and frameworks such as Django, Flask, pandas, and scikit-learn. She is an advocate of technology literacy, operating District Data Labs' Incubator program for entry- to mid-level data scientists and teaching introductory workshops on programming and web development.

British politician Daniel Hannan's Inventing Freedom is an ambitious account of the historical origin and spread of the principles that have made America great and their role in creating a sphere of economic and political liberty that is as crucial as it is imperiled.
The ideas and institutions we consider essential to maintaining and preserving our freedoms - individual rights, private property, the rule of law, and the institutions of representative government - are the legacy of a very specific tradition that was born in England and was inherited by Americans, along with other former British colonies. By the 10th century, England was a nation-state whose people were already starting to define themselves with reference to inherited common-law rights. The story of liberty is the story of how that model triumphed: How it was enshrined in a series of landmark victories - the Magna Carta, the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution, the US Constitution - and how it came to defeat every international rival.
Today we see those ideas abandoned and scorned in the places where they once went unchallenged. Inventing Freedom is a chronicle of the success of Anglosphere exceptionalism, and it is offered at a time that may turn out to be the end of the age of political freedom.
