Head of the Class
Geoffrey Orsak embraces lead role with TU
Of all things, a talk about failure rang true to the super achievers at St. Mark's School of Texas in Dallas.
Graduates of the prep school routinely attend the nation's top universities. Geoffrey Orsak -- at the time, dean of Southern Methodist University's engineering school and a St. Mark's parent himself -- addressed the student body in April at an induction ceremony for the school's honor society.
"You will now learn The Big Secret," Orsak told the group of top-flight students near the beginning of a breezy, 18-minute talk.
Orsak, 49, didn't use another s-word -- success -- until later, but it's likely this particular crowd already understood the context of his speech. He continued, referring to the group's childhood memories. "You remember when you're playing third-grade baseball, and your team is just getting killed? And you're crying, and the coach just pulls you over, says something to you. At that moment, he or she almost reveals The Big Secret to you when they say the following: You learn more from failure than you do from success. Do you all remember hearing that? That in reality is The Big Secret."
Barely a week later, the University of Tulsa announced Orsak as the school's 18th president. Orsak's talk at St. Mark's focused much more on Thomas Edison's reaction to a research-destroying fire than the life of Geoffrey Orsak. He described failure as part of his everyday life, but left any examples unspecified -- probably for good reason.
"He's one of those students that is and was extremely bright and extremely energetic and extremely articulate and very visionary," gushed Behnaam Aazhang, the Rice University professor who oversaw Orsak's work as an electrical and computer engineering doctoral student.
"He wrote a number of publications that have been very nicely cited in the most prestigious journals in our field," Aazhang said, describing Orsak's "quite theoretical" work related to analyzing complex systems.
Along with Orsak's technical talents, Aazhang recalled his attitude.
"He was very, very hardworking and very energetic, but he made it look so easy and so comfortable and so much fun," said Aazhang, now a department chair at Rice. Orsak's enthusiasm for a project was "contagious," Aazhang said. "Everybody liked him because he was such a nice person. It was so easy to like him."
Orsak earned his doctorate in 1990, then began an academic career that took him first to George Mason University in Virginia, near Washington, D.C., before he returned to Texas in 1997 as an associate professor at SMU.
At a school perhaps still best known nationally for a 1980s football scandal, Orsak made his mark as an innovator within the field of education. He helped found the Infinity Project in 1999, an engineering education program for high school students now offering an extended curriculum beginning in middle school. According to the project's website, the program has been taught in about three dozen states.
Around that time, Orsak began taking his case to the public about the need for improved engineering education outreach to young learners, penning a column in 2000 for the Dallas Morning News, one of the first of several such outreach efforts through the news media. A big payoff came quite literally in 2007, when SMU announced a $10.1 million gift from the W.W. Caruth Jr. Foundation at Communities Foundation of Texas to support a national center promoting engineering education for students in kindergarten through high school.
By that time, Orsak had been lauded for his work on the Infinity Project, receiving the KPMG High Tech Award in 2001 for helping develop the initiative and later receiving other honors from prestigious engineering organizations for his work in education. In 2004, Orsak had also begun serving as dean of SMU's engineering department.
Yet despite this string of accolades and accomplishments, Orsak did have something personal to share on the topic of failure when speaking to the high-school-aged students at St. Mark's.
Orsak said that for people who embrace failure as a way to grow and learn, "you begin to love it."
"It wasn't always that way for me, that I embraced failure the way I do now. I was just like you, driven to make straight A's in every class. And that unstoppable drive created a fear inside of me that I didn't recognize until much later in life, and that fear framed almost all of my actions. I didn't know that I was taking the easy way out and because of that I didn't challenge myself at your age to do things beyond even my wildest ambitions," he said.
Success is "actually very easy to do," Orsak continued. "You find out what you're good at and you just keep doing that."
After a few quick examples -- Edison, technology outfit Skunk Works -- Orsak closed his speech this way: "You all deserve the successes you've achieved. But we all expect you to take the chances that just might lead to failure as well."
The speech was "a resounding success," said Arnold Holtberg, the school's headmaster. "Many, many people, particularly the adults, asked for copies of the speech, and, in fact, we have it on our website."
Taking On Great Challenges
Summer was over for Orsak and the students toting belongings into dorm rooms all over the TU campus. By late afternoon, when Orsak sat down to visit with a reporter inside his well-appointed office, he had already met with a visiting Gov. Mary Fallin and attended a luncheon for the football team downtown.
A busy day, to be sure, but also a continuation of a frenetic several weeks for Orsak since being announced as school president. He had travelled literally coast to coast to visit with alumni and others, attending events in Washington, D.C. and the Los Angeles area.
His words to those groups seemed much in line with the philosophy expressed at St. Mark's a few months earlier.
"As a great university we need to start taking on great challenges," Orsak said, describing his message to alumni. "Not just simply educating people and providing a really strong education, but that there are big issues that our scholars and researchers can contribute to. And that we need to be going after the biggest and boldest of those."
He added: "Of course, that's a very inspiring message for them, but it's also a challenge for us."
Universities become renowned in different ways, but the post of TU president clearly extends far beyond campus borders for Orsak. His first official day on the job, he didn't stay on TU property, instead choosing to visit an elementary school and a high school.
"The storyline was, which was true, that I'm new to town and looking to meet people and looking to know what Tulsa is like. And so asking these kids, what's Tulsa like through the eyes of a third-grader in north Tulsa. That's something that I would not normally get at an event, either a fundraiser or some kind of social event. You really have to go and see it firsthand," Orsak said, describing the visits as a way to think about "additional roles that this university can play, community development, community building, the increased importance in public education that this city needs to bring focus to."
In early August, Orsak spoke at a construction ceremony for the West Park development in the Kendall-Whittier neighborhood, TU's home, an area long in decline but perking up with revitalization efforts. Near the mixed-income housing, a building with units for TU graduate students is being constructed, and the university has also agreed to take over upkeep on a city park that's being revamped through funding from the George Kaiser Family Foundation.
On that day, Orsak chatted amiably with Mayor Dewey Bartlett before addressing the crowd about TU's commitment to the project. He noted the history of the school, which came to Tulsa from Muskogee after being purchased by local leaders. Their plan relied on the sale of residential tracts around campus, Orsak told the crowd.
"So from the very beginning our success has relied upon a strong mutual commitment with our neighbors, and today that relationship is stronger than ever," Orsak told the crowd.
Asked in an interview how much he'd studied Tulsa history, Orsak described visiting with city councilors.
"I asked each of them if they would take me to their favorite point of pride in their district and tell me about their district," Orsak said, describing his appreciation for the scene -- and the food -- at White River Fish Market in northeast Tulsa, which he described as a "blue-collar" area.
"I've gotten to know the city through the eyes of some of the current leaders, not so much on the history side, 'cause I think most people are kind of focused right now on how to ensure that the city of Tulsa really grows and can achieve," Orsak said.
He began living in Tulsa full time June 27. Married with two young children, Orsak's wife, Catherine, is a psychiatrist who headed the mental health department of the Veteran's Affairs North Texas health system.
The family now lives in the three-story, 10,000-square-foot Skelly Mansion in the Maple Ridge neighborhood, a building purchased by the university in July for $2.25 million, according to online property records.
To start his tenure, however, Orsak chose to live with his family in a decidedly less spacious student dormitory. And a grand mansion several blocks away was little help when he first arrived at his temporary home on campus.
"It was a little tough moving in and out by ourselves in 110 degree weather on the third floor," Orsak said. Arriving in the early morning hours, "I had to hump everything upstairs," Orsak said.
The family went on campus walks, and he checked out a loaner bicycle to get around. Unknown to most, he could be anonymous. He ate at Arby's on East 11th Street. The experience proved worthwhile, he said.
"It was great. That's how you really get to know a campus, is just living," Orsak said.
During the approximately three-week experience, Orsak also remained mindful of his role as university president.
"Knowing the pressures of this job, I've got to make every minute count," Orsak said. "As I was enjoying the campus and learning the campus, I'm always, as an engineer, not saying what's wrong with this, but really the question is, how do we take what is already very good and continue to make it even better? I mean I do that constantly, just walking down the hallway."
Orsak said he spoke with university officials about his long-term residence before the purchase of Skelly Mansion.
"My main goal was for the residence to be a real public space for the city and kind of a place where ideas are exchanged," Orsak said. He noted that the home, built in 1919, had previously been owned by the university and used for that very purpose.
An energy forum event is planned for the house, with experts discussing "what would a national energy policy look like if the U.S. had one, what role would Oklahoma play in that," Orsak said. "Those are the same kind of conversations that were taking place 80 years ago in that home, so I just think it's fabulous."
Such events could also help the university raise its profile, though Orsak framed it as another way for the university to give back.
"That's one of our responsibilities to this community is to provide good ideas and really balanced ideas, apolitical, if you will, so having that kind of casual environment is a perfect place to do it," Orsak said.
Idea of a University
Orsak's enthusiasm can motivate college students, at least according to engineering enrollment numbers shared by James Quick, SMU's associate vice president for research and dean of graduate studies.
Quick said SMU's engineering enrollment fell roughly in line with the national average for similar schools -- in the single digits -- before Orsak's tenure.
"Geoffrey turned that around and made it double digits here at the university," Quick said. "He did that by making it exciting and broadening the concept of what engineers do."
In some ways, TU is like SMU and other private schools competing for the best students. Every college offers unique experiences, but the school's popularity remains comparable to others, for example.
Among students offered undergraduate admission in 2010, 29.9 percent accepted the offer, below Orsak's alma mater, Rice University, which had a 36 percent yield rate, but topping the yield rate of Texas Christian University (24.6 percent) and essentially equaling SMU's yield rate (30.2 percent). According to U.S. News and World Report, which compiled the figures, Harvard University topped the list with a yield rate of 75.5 percent.
TU proclaims on its webpage that it ranks 75 out of all national research universities. Yet it's also among the smallest schools in that group, with about 3,000 undergraduate students and roughly 1,000 graduate students. TU, like other private schools, finds a competitive environment not only for recruiting top students, but also must make tough decisions when it comes to setting tuition rates.
"As a president of the university, access to higher education obviously is one of my most important issues. Not just access at TU, but access at all universities, from community college all the way up," Orsak said.
If education is expensive "it pays for itself many, many times over," Orsak said, noting research showing college degree holders earn more than those without a degree.
On its website, the university notes that it's been described as a "best value" by a couple of college guides.
"I think TU is an extraordinarily good investment or a good buy, or else I wouldn't be here," Orsak said. "We'll have to watch that as time goes on because things always get more expensive."
Orsak offered plenty of praise for the university. "This is a place that's done so much, so fast and has now emerged as such an important national university. One of the fun things about being here is helping everybody realize really how extraordinary it is," he said.
Expect Orsak to not be shy about getting that message out to the public. In Dallas, Orsak became well-known in the community. Ed Schaffler, president and chief executive officer of the The Catholic Foundation in Dallas, invited Orsak to serve on the charitable organization's advisory board.
"Our council is comprised of leading Catholic individuals in the city of Dallas. He certainly was one of those," Schaffler said.
Perhaps more than others in similar academic positions, Orsak seemed at ease with public appearances.
"Geoffrey often spoke at things around town, and he was very good at it," Schaffler said.
Orsak may have deep Texas roots, but he is attacking his role in a new state like an eager student putting in extra time to master a new subject.
Orsak went to Washington, D.C. not only to meet with alumni, but also with Oklahoma elected officials.
"I had a 45-day plan for trying to meet as many key people who are stakeholders in the university as I possibly could," Orsak explained, describing the D.C. visits as "a fascinating experience."
"Coming from a large state with a lot of political influence in Washington, to now being a part of a smaller state that may feel like it's marginalized from time to time in the national debate, it was interesting for me to be able to see that," Orsak said, adding that "it kind of opened up another avenue for a role that we can play in helping continue to just try to put the state of Oklahoma really on the map as a place for really bold and ambitious ideas."
When speaking about the challenges he expects the university to tackle, his words could be those of almost any Oklahoma political figure.
"Public education, as we talked about, is one of Oklahoma's biggest challenges. We're routinely ranked in the bottom of states in the quality of education. Public health is another, so we're doing a lot of quality thinking right now, how to really provide the greatest health benefits for the most economical means," Orsak said.
He spoke about the new medical school partnership with the University of Oklahoma. The schools have partnered to form the Tulsa School of Community Medicine.
"It's important that it's not just a medical school. It's vital that it's an institution that really addresses core health care needs in the state in kind of a new way, because health care is such an important issue for quality of life. It's an important issue for recruiting businesses and for recruiting new families to the state. You can't be 49th in the country in health care and 49th in the country in public education and think you're going to attract high-tech jobs," Orsak said.
He mentioned the university's Institute for Urban Education, which "provides great promise for what can happen."
Orsak said he left those first-day visits with young learners "realizing that for Tulsa to be successful, we as a university have to start being involved in education at an earlier age, not just wait until they're a freshman in college."
The university partners with the city "in so many areas, it's really key that we exchange ideas and talk regularly about what we can do, what they can do," said Orsak, describing having a close relationship with city leaders as "incredibly important."
He noted that the university's Henry Zarrow Center for Art and Education in the Brady Arts District is "something we're doing because it helps the city."
These efforts, in turn, will help the university, Orsak said. "I really believe that as this city improves, so do we. And so we're glued at the hip, and have been for the last century plus," Orsak said, noting that the university serves as perhaps the premier talent magnet for this part of the state.
He's put his analytical background to good use in learning about his new home state.
"I've spent a lot of time trying to study the state from every possible angle from demographics, the shifting demographics of the state, to population increases, educational attainment, incarceration rates -- all the kinds of things you want to know about your home," Orsak said, describing how he wants to put the information to good use. "And then we look at those and say, where can we have the biggest impact? That's the kind of TU that we'll have. We have kids coming from all over the world who want to be in an environment that really matters and that takes on problems that really matter."
He acknowledged that many of these issues might be ones where "normally universities would say, well that's somebody else's responsibility." Not so the best universities, he said.
"That's really the kind of prime vision that I had in my previous roles and one that I brought here," Orsak said.
With such ambitious goals, even defining success can be difficult. Asked if there was a specific statistic that might indicate success down the road, Orsak let out a short sigh.
"That's a great question. We've been trying to figure out what that would be. What would be the definition of success for not just for TU but for the state," he said.
He recounted conversations he's had with health care experts, who he said described the likelihood of slow, incremental change.

"What I was afraid -- and what I heard from the folks that really look at this problem on a daily basis -- was kind of a certain level of concern that, at best, we might move from 49 to 46. And for me that just seems like such a marginal advance that I just have a hard time accepting that that's all we can do," Orsak said. "There's got to be more. So I don't want to be unrealistic about what is possible and at this point it's so unclear with what's happening at the federal level in terms of investment in education and health care, what's happening at the state level," Orsak said, noting that the upcoming November election will "determine a lot about the future of this country."
Some things should be tracked, he said, but as far as measuring success, "until I know more, I couldn't give you an accurate estimate."
"But I would like for people to know it without really having to even look at a data sheet. If I had to convince you that there was progress by showing you hard data and pie charts, I would think that doesn't do it for the person who lives on 11th Street and Delaware. I mean, they want to feel it. They want to feel this town is safer. They want to feel that this town is more vibrant and culture is richer, ideas are more challenging. And that's hard to chart. I think we'll know whether we made an impact or not just by the character of the city."

This roleplay takes place in the kingdom of Tashket, a prosperous land surrounded by its neighboring kingdoms of Aalar, Mebin, and Thosdal. All four kingdoms are at "Peace" with each other, but trust between the kingdoms is about as easy to find as a trout with legs. The politics in Tashket, actually in all four kingdoms, is less than honest. The current ruler, Queen Tensuri, is a fair ruler, although most people know that she is just a figurehead, a face that actually has little to no power in the actual governing of Tashket. The government isn't particularly evil but it isn't all that great either. All four kingdoms are fond of using assassins to get rid of anyone they see as a threat, and they only use the finest. In the past fifty years, there have been about three hundred assassinations over all four kingdoms, and the only reason why war hasn't broken out is that an assassination is usually responded with another assassination, after all, war is ugly. The militaries of each kingdom are strong. Usually these victims are people in the governments, military leaders, and the like. But now there is a new threat to Tashket, one that is not tied to any other kingdom, as far as the government knows. No one knows who it is, or where it is from, but everyone knows that it is dangerous, and needs to be destroyed at all costs. It is known on the streets and in the underworld as the "Shadow".
This is sort of a Dungeons and Dragons type setting, with magic and sort of medieval levels of technology. This roleplay open to all who want in, although nothing ridiculous like 20 people :p, and even if you decide to join later, that's cool. I have several possible entrance points for future party members, just make sure you PM me first. I'm not going to start this up for real until a good number of people are interested (Probably around 6) I would love to have as many people as possible join, and please do! :D

efc fan from kentucky said:How worried are you about this happeneing in the future? During the halftime show this past weekends game with QPR, the commentators were going on and on about how good Moyes is and how he is probably the best manager in the league. Then they all agreed how when SAF's contract is up that Moyes will be leading the red devils. Just curious on how everyone reacts to this thought or if it's a non issue.
Knoxy2001e said:null
I try my best to tune them guys out at the half to be honest. Did you hear them in the pre-game saying that the true test of how great a manager Moyes is, is how he handles himself when he moves to a "Big Club" and gets some money???
ARGH! I get so angry listening to them!
I don't know which is worse, having to listen to Steve McManaman on ESPN or Eric Wynalda on Fox Soccer.
efc fan from kentucky said:Change "some" to "most" and I'll agree. I don't know hardly anyone who like "soccer". It's made fun of over here mostly.

Actor Michael Madsen Arrested for DUI, then Hospitalized
California assemblyman Roger Hernandez was arrested last month for DUI, but asserted his innocence stating that blood test results would prove his innocence. Well, the results have come back and prove he was "legally intoxicated."
Last month Hernandez was arrested in the parking lot of a Glendora hotel in a state issued vehicle after visiting a friend. When police stopped Hernandez he insisted that he had only had one or two beers. He was giving a blood test, which has now revealed he had a blood alcohol content of .08, which is the legal limit for California.
Driving over the legal limit can have serious consequences which can only be negated with the aid of a drunk driving lawyer.
Once the test results were release Hernandez apologized and turned in his vehicle.
A statement from Hernandez said, "The results from the blood alcohol test released today and are a huge wake up call for me. I may have made a poor judgment thinking that I was sober enough to drive after a couple of drinks over the course of an evening. Had I thought I was mentally or physically impaired to drive I would not have gotten behind the wheel."
Drunk driving lawyers have many clients who are charged with a DUI after just one or two drinks. These individuals may not realize they are intoxicated and could end up paying for this indiscretion for years. Their only hope for leniency is to retain a knowledgeable drunk driving lawyer who will be able to negotiate for reduced charges and penalties.

This is a nicely made jacket which has plenty of pockets includinng a ski pass on sleeve which is the best place for passes. It's a warm yet not bulky jacket and size is generous, I took a size 8, whereas I normally buy a 10, i might have been able to fit a 6, but allowing for lots of other layers underneath, 8 should be Ok. Would have liked matching pants in pink (to match the trim) but only have a coral pair...hope it works as have ordered these too !
17/01/2013 14:03:19
Problem with size 16 coat feeling tight. Ordered size 18 on-line good delivery but was too big! Took it back to shop. then checked the size of the original coat to find was marked up wrong on the hanger, size 14 coat on 16 hanger. Rugby store had one in stock so drove there to collect about 30 miles. Excellent service by staff involved.
20/01/2013 13:25:15
Looks nice, fleecy lining, lots of pockets and hidden inside pockets including phone bit. Big detachable hood, shower proof. Havent warn it out yet but impressed in shop, however got this in the winter sale, mega saving. Only sizes on rack were all they had as apparently they have no other storage.
20/03/2013 09:25:50
I've only given 4 stars as my daughter hasn't yet been skiing so can't comment on warmth, comfort etc yet. It does however look and feel well made and has the features we require e.g snow skirt, ventilation zips and plenty of pockets. For the sale price I paid i'm more than happy.
07/02/2013 18:35:11
An absolute bargain and a great outdoor jacket. I am a size 8 and very often jacket sleeves are too long but not in this case. The hood is also a very good fit which will not blow backwards as many do. I like it that much I am contemplating buying one in another colour!
04/04/2013 22:21:55
Again sadly will be returning as too big. unsure how sizing would be and such good value took the risk but i am usually a size 10 hence size 12 large! Nothing to do with product, i had just hoped might be suitable. Apologies but will need to return.
31/01/2013 09:46:23
This is a really super value ski jacket which for me, will be used as my autumn/winter walking jacket. Perfect light weight, with some padding that makes it warm and comfortable without having to wear too many layers underneath.
30/01/2013 11:45:27
I would have been tempted to buy 2 jackets if other colours were available. This looks like an ideal jacket for playing bowls and as a general wet or stormy jacket as I love walking in the rain!
17/01/2013 12:27:41
I have not worn it yet. It is for my forthcoming trip by boat up the Nowegian coast ending with a night in the ice hotel. I'm hoping it will keep me dry & snug.
23/11/2012 19:10:17
This is the second Ski Jacket I have bought,they are nice and light and very warm and I do like all the pockets a great winter Jacket and love all the zip pockets great for traveling in.
06/01/2013 20:17:52
This product does exactly what it says on the label. It is excellent quality and I expect it to wear really well due to first class workmanship in the construction of the jacket
15/02/2013 17:42:54
The jackets are warm and perfect for rain/ windy conditions. I would recommend anyone to purchase these. We got a great bargain for them making it the best purchase.
24/11/2012 22:00:41
Really, really pleased with this jacket, keeps you warm and dry, not just for walking my dog and being seen on country roads, but also looks smart and stylish
13/02/2013 23:24:58
Just bought this. Feels comfortable but looks a bit bulky as it is not shaped. Will know if it withstands the weather after I use it on the snowy mountains.
02/02/2013 12:04:21
This was the best jacket we tried -out of many kids and adult ones-for my 14 year old. Looks great -not too long and feels comfy and well made for skiing.
11/02/2013 13:57:14
Been looking for ages for a coat that is warm and waterproof, but so expensive I was procrastinating, but at sales price this was too good not to get.
01/07/2013 08:15:31
Light. Generous size; I am quite broad and often find jackets tight across my shoulders, but can move comfortably in this and sleeves long enough!
12/02/2013 16:53:04
Item brilliantly warm, comfortable, and very fashionable. would Highly recommend this jacket to anyone looking for quality and value for money.
26/01/2013 18:35:59
I absolutely love this coat and can't wait to give it a whirl next week when we are due lots of rain. To keep me warm and dry on the school run
06/02/2013 19:24:46
true too size and fit and lovely colour did not find it as warm as i thought it would be , personally i need a bit more insulation for warmth

Hello guys,
I recently bought a Nokia Smartphone after was disappointed by how fast the other phones discharge power. I thought the special characters for Nokia mobiles such as long lasting batteries and strong hardware would be maintained but that's not the case. Why can't smart phones hold power for long or why can't they use stronger batteries for them?

I generally handle all the software related problems concerned to my PC. But recently, I had a hardware issue, which I never handled. My computer graphics are not working as they were before. I think there is problem with the graphics card.
Please note that I am using AMX graphics adapter. I want to guide me how to check the PSU slot and graphics adapter as there is no one to help me.
Thanks in advance.

I have got many software CDs with me. I like exploring all the software and to learn the new technologies. One such software is F16. When I inserted the DVD and continuing with the process, suddenly my DVD came out throwing some Fedora disk error.
Please fix this issue as I have no idea on this as I have never faced this error.
Thank you.

Users and Groups
Make Plain sldap Listen on Loopback and Use LDAPS or TLS for 0.0.0.0
Better Management of Built-In Groups
If you create a group named users, it cause the file shares based in the "Edit Group" page to not be accessible. The UNIX group becomes "USERS" which will not work with the generated smb.conf file. I believe this is because of a conflict with a local group that already contains that name. I guess checking for local groups could prevent this problem.
Ability to Set UID/GID
Move All the NSS Stuff from the Samba Module to the Usersandgroups Module
There might be some modules that need to use LDAP users besides the Samba Module. Right now the ebox-samba module is the one doing all the nsswitch.conf and libnss-ldap.conf configuration.
It would be better to push these configuration changes to the Usersandgroups Module so other modules that need LDAP users don't need to depend on Samba.
Changes required:
- usedFiles: move /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/ldap.secret and /etc/nsswitch.conf to usersandgroups' usedFiles
- File Generation
o NSS ldap.conf: right now it is done in _setSambaConf in Samba.pm, it just seems to rely in:
my $ldap = EBox::Ldap->instance();
my $ldapconf = $ldap->ldapConf();
my $users = EBox::Global->modInstance('users');
So there should be no problem in moving the NSS ldap.conf file generation to the Usersandgroups Module.
o nsswitch.conf: created in the script ebox-samba-enable, called from enableActions in Samba.pm, move to a ebox-init-ldap script in the Usersandgroups Module.
o ldap.secret: created in the script ebox-samba-enable, called from enableActions in Samba.pm, move to ebox-init-ldap script in the Usersandgroups Module.
It would also make sense to move the creation of the /home directories to this module.
Right now they are created in Samba, and users end up in /home/samba/users/, they should be created in /home/ directly.
Probably all the samba stuff should go somewhere else like /home/_samba/, /srv/samba/, ...
- Enforce password strength requirements.
- Investigate setting password complexity rules that are enforced.
Enhance Usability for Creating Users in Bulk
- As a suggestion through this forum topic: http://forum.ebox-platform.com/index.php?action=post;topic=1507.0. A new button must appear while adding a user to create that user and show the same form to add another user.
- It would be also cool to have a "import from CSV" feature in the eBox interface.

I ordered this foundation as wanted to try out for ages. Recommendation of equivalent to nc37 was number 233. When u received the colour isn't as yellow as the mac and can look a bit orange on my skin so I'll need to tan up again. The coverage is amazing tho and my skin looked flawless. It did oxidise slightly on my skin and went patchy on my forehead but I think that's because I applied too much skin oil and moisturiser. I would def buy again but try a slightly lighter shade next time :) I apply over primer with a sigma f60 brush and stipple on then I use my sponge to press into the skin. No go for girls who like light coverage although mix with a tinted moisturiser for less cover x
im shocked by so many negative reviews yes its very dry and matte but dont you use moisturiser? i love this i done a lot or research and on a trip away decided to approach the counter its very full coverage... like iv said in other reviews im not a MUA im just a normal girl who wants a good damn covering foundation, and this ticks all the boxes it stays doesnt go anywhere i found it hard matching the colours i have estee lauder and this is cheaper than that by at least 10 pounds... and this is better i nearly bought the skin base foundation but after reading reviews im glad i didnt... illamasqua deserves more than a score of 3.6 just stop whinging and put a bit more moisturiser on
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
:::NOTE::: If you have BLEMISHED skin or DRY skin patches, I would NOT recommend this foundation. This foundation is very dry in texture and it clings to blemishes and patches of dry skin, accentuating the imperfections. This foundation is GREAT for those who have a lot of discoloration on their skin,but no other major skin issues.
I have Combination skin(that is acne prone), with occasional dry patches on my cheeks or around my mouth and a few pimples once in a while.
I used to use this foundation every day for about 2 years straight.
I would basically make my own tinted moisturizer with it. I would put a couple of pumps of moisturizer and add a bit of this foundation according to how much coverage I wanted that day.
Needless to say, this foundation is super full coverage on its own----like theatrical makeup full coverage. Sometimes I would use it as a concealer because it's that full coverage.
The packaging is OKAY....not the best, not the worst. Once the product, starts running low on foundation, it becomes hard to take the foundation out. However, in the past I have cut the tube in half and have gotten many more uses out of this product.
This is an expensive foundation,but it does last a while considering you don't need to use a lot of it. Plus it has a pretty good color selection and it does NOT break me out. And I have repurchased this foundation numerous times.
The reason I no longer reach for this foundation is because on its own(without moisturizer) it can look cakey or mask like and you need to really work on buffing this foundation into your skin to make it look good. Also, I have some peach fuzz and this accentuates those baby hairs on my face.
Overall, this is the first foundation that I fell in love with. And if you can make it work, this does look gorgeous on the skin.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was so disappointed with this foundation. I couldn't get it to work for me. When I put it on it just looked like a mask and clinged to any dry patches. I'll admit this may be my fault as I may be applying it wrong. I tried with my beauty blender and with fingers, no joy.
I really love his foundation because coverage is amazing and gives you an air brushed look. However it is a really think cream an texture and is quite annoying and difficult to apply to the face. That's only thing I really have to complain about. I got it at a great deal because it was on sale!
I love this foundations full coverage and pale white shades but its VERY drying. It looks extremely cakey on its own, i have to mix it with Macs studio sculpt foundation & a moisturizing BB cream to make it wearable.
I have been using Estée L Double Wear fresco mixed with shell for the past fifteen years. They have changed the colours and formulation so I am in the market for a new foundation. I like medium to full coverage in paler colours with pink undertones. The lady at Illamasqua gave me 120. Colour seemed fine. I can't express how disappointed I am with this foundation! Yes, it's very highly pigmented and extremely full coverage but it has no staying power. My skin is fair, freckly, pinkish and combination. I've never loved the tone of my skin but its in very good condition. I applied it after moisturiser and primer as I would with any foundation. I didn't find it difficult to blend and liked the effect initially. However, after one hour, yes one hour! the product was breaking down on my skin, becoming patchy and oxidising. It fell into all of the fine lines around my eyes and mouth and looked horrendous on my nose. As disappointed as I am with EL for messing with double wear it still out performs this by a million percent. Just remember that full coverage doesn't necessarily mean it is durable. This certainly is not.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been looking for a heavy coverage foundation for a little while now, and that's definitely what I got with this. On the first use, I fell in love. My skin had never looked so perfect! I haven't experienced any of the application issues mentioned here (drying out too quickly, difficulty in blending) - I use a tiny amount of product and apply with a brush and it works just fine. Before this I used MAC Studio Fix, but I need MUCH MUCH less of this product, so while it's about the same price I expect it to last a lot longer. I bought this online, which I've never done before with foundation, so I was a little worried about the colour. I'm NW15 and bought 120 in this. I think it might be a little lighter than NW15, but luckily my face is a little darker than my neck anyway so when I wear this it actually matches the rest of my skin.
By the end of the day this does start to wear off, especially on the oilier parts of my skin, but it's got much more staying power than my old Studio Fix. The other thing is, if you've got any dry or flaky parts it will make them more noticeable, but I find if I just remember to exfoliate regularly that problem is kept at bay. I use it every day (I have blotchy skin which I'm self-conscious about and this just covers it so perfectly) and haven't had any break-outs or anything so far. All in all I'm super happy with this foundation.
EDIT: Not sure why, but this has started to wear off more quickly. I have a bad habit of touching my face so that could explain it. Also I've worked out that on hot days it doesn't cope too well, which I'm really sad about because I really want to love it completely. I will keep using it and just touching up over the day, though I had hoped I wouldn't have to do that. Still prefer it to Studio Fix.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a very thick foundation - they say to only use it when you're going out to a party or on a special occasion. I gives a very good coverage, you definitely don't need to put concealer on as well. The only thing I find with this foundation is that there is quite a big difference between the shades. I bought shade 115 but that was too light, so I asked for the one the next darkest shade, and that made me look too dark; there was quite an obvious difference between my face and my neck. I don't suffer from acne but I do get a few spots quite often, so this foundation was very good for me because it gives you a very thick coverage. As long as you take it off every night, your skin won't suffer. It will last you a good 6 months as you don't need to use that much of it.
Fantastic foundation. I bought the colour 200 and did not need to put a concealer underneath. I suffer with rosacea and broken capillaries my face is so sensitive that even when I touch it, it can hurt. This goes on smooth with full coverage causes no break-outs, my skin loves it. Highly recommend this foundation if you are unfortunate enough to have problems with your skin like me. The coverage is full and flawless. Would give it a 10/10 if I could. My skin colour is light medium with redness. Give it a go, some people may find this a bit too thick, but it spreads easily and lasts all day.

UCOLL 300 - Unit II - Introduction
This tutorial will introduce you to a set of "core databases" which you will be using for UCOLL 300. These databases (as well as others we will look at this semester) will be useful to you in future WSU Online classes - especially those which require research papers.
After completing this tutorial, you should:
- Be familiar with various citation types you will encounter in the core databases.
- Understand that each database has a unique purpose, and contains unique information.
- Know the names and the basic purpose of the "core databases".
Each page of the tutorial will highlight at least one of these three goals.
Look for Butch at the bottom of each page for pointers that will help you reach these three goals.

On Freemarket page 29 it says you can burn resources to remove points from your opponent's hand. However, if tech or interface are reduced to zero, you can't use them until they are repaired or restored. But is it ok to burn technology or interface that you have already used during the current challenge? Or does using it normally somehow make it unburnable until the next challenge?
The game can be found here.

I think you vastly underestimate the level of autonomous AI that would be required to traverse (and survive) in interstellar space, along with the ability to forage for necessary resources while scouring deep space to satisfy their primal "kill all humans" programming.
In fact, I would argue that all biological life has this same programming, including humans, which most noticeably manifests itself today as the subconscious tendency to dismiss the worth of anything not like us while simultaneously fornicating with anything like us. Yet somehow we have become intelligent enough override those basic impulses -- as opposed to less intelligent animals.

Kamwendo, G. (Taylor & Francis, http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals, December NaN, 2010)[more][less]
Abstract: Malawi's Vision 2020 document, a national document that serves as a vehicle to project a future for a more developed, secure and democratically mature nation, laments the tendency of Malawians to denigrade local products and glorify all things foreign. Yet, paradoxically, the document does not address the important issue of promoting Malawi's indegenous languages. This silence can be interpreted as reflective of the population's inclination to ascribe greater value to forign culture. In Malawi, as in many other African countries, indigenous languages are not considered worthy as media of education, subjects of advanced study or critical vehicles for national development. They are still victim to a discrimination rooted in Africa's 500 plus years of European enslavement and colonialisation. Against the backdrop of the pursuit of an African Renaissance, this article looks at Malawi's language policies since independence in 1964, and at how, ten years short of an idyllic national vision, Malawi measures up on the important issue of language.

Abstract: In a linguistically heterogeneous country, one of the critical challenges is to make information accessible to all people. Various communication media can be used: television, radio, telephone, the Internet and others. Malawi needs to embrace Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in order to achieve development in all spheres of human life. Malawi's use of ICTs ranks low. Th e critical challenge, therefore, is to promote an increased use of ICTs with the aim of improving people's access to information. Given that only a minority of Malawians have access to ICTs, that television has not signifi cantly penetrated into rural areas where 80 % of the population lives, and that there is also a high illiteracy rate, the radio becomes the most accessible form of technology for information dissemination in Malawi.

Abstract: The article discusses language planning in two Southern African countries, Botswana and Malawi. Both countries are multilingual and multicultural. They also share a common British colonial history. At independence, the two countries retained English as the official language. In Botswana, Setswana was made the national language while in Malawi, it was Chichewa. Over the years, these languages have been developed and promoted at the expense of other indigenous languages, a situation that has prompted linguistic minorities to engage in the language-based politics of recognition. The article discusses how Botswana and Malawi are responding to the call for the official recognition of more indigenous languages in domains such as government, education, and mass media. Relevant comparisons and contrasts between Botswana and Malawi are drawn in this regard in the article. One clear common denominator is the dominance of English in official domains in the two countries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/829 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: According to the Medical Council of Malawi, one of the conditions for a licence to be granted to an individual who wants to practise medicine in Malawi is the practitioner's ability to speak and write English fluently. This means that the expatriate medical practitioner is not required by law to demonstrate fluency in Chichewa (the national language) or any other relevant indigenous language(s). On the basis of a sociolinguistic study that was conducted at a major referral hospital in a predominantly Chitumbuka-speaking town, this paper argues that the Medical Council of Malawi erroneously assumes that English is the main language of doctor-patient communication in Malawian hospitals since the country is linguistically categorised as an English speaking African country. Yet only a minority of the population is competent in English. The national language (Chichewa), and other indigenous languages remain the main medium through which much of the health service provider-patient communication takes place. A more realistic and comprehensive language proficiency testing should cover English (the main international language of medicine) and at least one indigenous language (the lingua franca of the area in which a particular hospital is located).

Kamwendo, G. H. (Southern African Comparative and History of Education Society (SACHES). http://www.journals.co.za/ej/ejour_sare.html, October NaN, 2006)[more][less]
Abstract: During the first 30 years of Malawi's independence (1964-1994), the country was under President Hastings Kamuzu Banda's one-party authoritarian rule. In line with Banda's nation-building ideology, Malawi pursued the policy of one nation, one party (the Malawi Congress Party), one leader (Life President Banda) and one national language (Chichewa). Despite the fact that Malawi is multilingual and multiethnic, the Banda regime created a political atmosphere under which non-Chewa ethnic and/or linguistic identities were suppressed. A political system was established that muzzled academic and other freedoms. Academia, for instance, was deprived of its critical and objective voice. The then only university, the University of Malawi, was carefully monitored to ensure that so-called subversive disciplines or topics were not on offer. Sociolinguistic research was one of the academic disciplines that did not enjoy meaningful academic freedom. The demise of the Banda regime in 1994 and the adoption of a new constitution that embraces various freedoms (including academic freedom) have meant that there are no longer political constraints on academic freedom. However, new forms of constraint on academic freedom have arisen. These are economic constraints, many emanating from the research-funding agencies' agendas.

Lackey hurls Red Sox to win over O's
Lackey picked up his first victory in four starts, and Mike Carp and Jonny Gomes each hit home runs to lead the Red Sox to a 5-4 victory over Baltimore before an announced 42,422 at Oriole Park.
"Any win is good," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "This is a very good team. They play right until the end and they've somewhat carved out a characteristic over the last year-plus, two years of late-inning comebacks. We expect it again tomorrow."
Lackey (4-5, 3.08) allowed two earned runs in the first inning and then gave up only three singles the rest of the way. He allowed seven hits, with four strikeouts and one walk on 101 pitches through seven innings.
Garcia (3-4) had allowed only two earned runs or fewer in four of his previous five starts.
Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado went 2-for-4 and leads the majors with 28 multi-hit games and 31 doubles this season. Matt Wieters hit his ninth home run of the season for Baltimore.The Orioles got the early lead when Nate McLouth led off the first with a single and scored on Machado's double. Nick Markakis and Adam Jones followed with back-to-back singles that increased the lead to 2-0 with runners on the corners with none out.However, Lackey buckled down and got out of the inning with no further damage by getting a ground out and two pop-ups.
Pedroia singled to center on the next pitch, and two batters later, Carp tied the game with a home run to right, snapping Boston's 18-inning scoreless streak.
"It happened because I got a guy on base who should be out. There's nothing you can do about it."
"It was a break for us," Pedroia said. "I just said, 'I thought I fouled that.' He said, 'Foul ball.' I thought I hit something. It was probably the ground. I don't know."
As Lackey continued to roll, the Red Sox continued to provide run support, A one-out home run to center field by Gomes provided a 5-2 lead and ended Garcia's day in the sixth.
"Us getting shut out is not going to last too long," Gomes said. "We've got some pretty good hitters on this team. It's a long season. We've been on the road for a little bit, so it's good."
NOTES: Red Sox third baseman Jose Iglesias extended his hitting streak to 16 games with a single in the third. ... Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia singled in the fourth and has reached base safely in 63 games this season, the most in the majors. He also committed his first error of the season in the fifth. ... Baltimore held a World Wrestling Entertainment theme on Saturday, where very Orioles batter used pro wrestling entrance music prior to his at-bat. ... Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado extended his hitting streak to 13 games. ... Orioles catcher Taylor Teagarden snapped an 0-for-21 skid with a single in the fifth.
