They Serious About Them Section 8 Vouchers: 15,000 People Running To Get A Cheap Housing In Dallas, TX!
"At least eight people were hurt Thursday morning while scrambling to line up for a limited number of Dallas County rental vouchers — after waiting for hours in their cars. People lined up Thursday morning to apply for Dallas County Section 8 housing vouchers. Dallas County sheriff's spokesman Kim Leach estimated the crowd at about 5,000. The office at the Jesse Owens Memorial Complex wasn't supposed to open until 8 a.m., but some applicants started lining up at 10 o'clock Wednesday night. Police kept people off school district property until the gates opened at 6 a.m. That resulted in a long string of cars lined up on the streets." - Dalls

Making a Complaint to the Data Protection Commissioner
What happens if someone refuses to correct inaccurate information which they hold about you? What can you do if someone refuses to give you a copy of what they keep about you?
The Data Protection Commissioner will help you in ensuring that your legal rights are fully upheld, and that organisations meet their obligations under the Data Protection Acts. If you think that a person or organisation is not meeting their data protection obligations, and if you are not satisfied with their response to your concerns, then you may complain to the Commissioner, who will look into the matter for you. If the Commissioner upholds your complaint, he has legal powers to ensure that these matters are put right.
Click on one of the links below for more information about making a complaint.
Will the organisation be punished if my complaint is upheld?
How do I make a complaint?
Making a complaint is simple and free. All you need to do is write to the Data Protection Commissioner giving details about the matter. You should clearly identify the organisation or individual you are complaining about. You should also outline the steps you have taken to have your concerns dealt with by the organisation, and what sort of response you received from them. Please also provide copies of any letters between you and the organisation, as well as supporting evidence/material. We will then take the matter up with the organisation for you.
Click here for information on how to make a complaint to our office.
If your complaint is about unsolicited marketing by post, phone, fax, e-mail, SMS or MMS, you will find further information here.
How long does it take to investigate a complaint?
Each investigation is unique, and it is very hard to say in advance how long each will take. Some complaints can be resolved very quickly and informally, in a matter of weeks. Other complaints might raise important issues, and might involve in-depth investigation and careful consideration of legal issues. Such complaints might take several months to bring to a conclusion.
How will I be informed of the outcome of my complaint?
Where your complaint is about the breach of the Data Protection Acts, the Commissioner will first try to find a solution that both you and the organisation you are complaining about can accept. The Office will contact you to ask if you are satisfied with the suggested solution. In cases where an amicable resolution or an informal settlement of the complaint cannot be reached, the Data Protection Commissioner will make a full investigation of all the facts before making his Decision. When the investigation is finished, and the Commissioner has reached his conclusions, he will write to you informing you of his Decision.
Where your complaint is about a breach of the Electronic Communications Regulations (SI 336 of 2011), the Commissioner may decide to prosecute the organisation concerned. The Office may ask if you would be willing to give evidence in Court to support such a prosecution.
If the Commissioner believes that your complaint can best be dealt with by another agency, the Office will tell you how to contact that agency.
The Commissioner may decide not to investigate your complaint if he thinks it is not serious ("frivolous or vexatious" is the term used in the Data Protection Acts). This does not happen very often. If it does, you will be told by this Office.
What happens if my complaint is upheld?
If the Commissioner upholds your complaint, or upholds some parts of your complaint, then the organisation in question will need to comply with the Commissioner's findings. The Commissioner has powers to ensure that organisations act in accordance with data protection law.
Will the organisation be punished if my complaint is upheld?
The Commissioner's main priority is to make sure that an organisation respects your rights and puts matters right. Most breaches of the Data Protection Acts are not offences. This means that an organisation cannot be punished by the Courts. The Courts may punish an organisation that does not obey a legal order of the Data Protection Commissioner. The Courts may also punish breaches of the Electronic Communications Regulations (SI 336 of 2011). Such offences may be prosecuted by the Commissioner. [view more...]
If my complaint is upheld, am I entitled to compensation?
The Data Protection Commissioner has no role whatsoever in dealing with compensation claims. Where the Commissioner upholds or partially upholds your complaint against an organisation, that does not give you a right to compensation.
However, if you suffer damage through the mishandling of your personal information, then you may be entitled to claim compensation separately through the Courts. Section 7 of the Data Protection Acts, 1988 and 2003, makes it clear that organisations who hold your personal data owe you a duty of care. If you would like to pursue a compensation claim against an organisation which has mishandled your personal data, you should talk to a legal adviser.
What happens if my complaint is not upheld?
If the Data Protection Commissioner does not uphold your complaint, he will inform you of this in writing. If you disagree with the Commissioner's finding, you have a right of appeal to the Circuit Court. [view more...]

Honey Boo Boo must be stopped
I have a friend who hates to love reality TV—the trashier the better. She freely admits it, and I admire her candor. I used wait until my husband left to sneak a peek at, say, the Coyote Ugly tryouts in a more gluttonous age of cable, and I'd laugh and laugh (and watch and watch) at the importance these gals assigned to their mastery of the bar dance.
I've since come out of that closet, because really, looking at these programs (briefly) is useful anthropological research. I like to know what sort of whackos are out there in the world, and it seems wise to study the nature of those beasts in the event I meet one in a dark alley.
So, on my friend's recommendation ("It's so hideous, you have to see it") I looked at "Toddlers and Tiaras," TLC's reality series that profiles young pageant contestants and their parents.
I really wish I hadn't; that's when I first beheld the trainwreck that is Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson (guess who gave herself a nickname?). No amount of Jane Goodall-ing will justify the loss of those minutes of my life. At the very least, I've come away with a few impressions: pageanting flirts with child abuse (sorry, but penning a kid into a gig that doesn't allow her to be an actual kid isn't kosher); it is never appropriate to dress a child as a "naughty" cop; and kids like Honey Boo Boo must be stopped, as they only serve to validate gross, public displays of parents vicariously living through their children, who, in so doing, inadvertently (we hope) hijack their offspring's childhoods and possibly put them in danger, thanks to no shortage of sexual predators in this world.
(To be fair, there were little beauty queens-in-waiting who were almost as obnoxious as Alana and her family. Almost. But the misguided self-centeredness that is the foundation of young Alana's life makes her my official poster child for all things wrong with parenting-to-pageant.)
Of course, Alana, age 6, herself isn't really to blame. It's her fame-seeking mother, June, who's created the fidgety, egotistical, loud monster, whose landed her own reality show spin-off, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," after winning over viewers when she first appeared on "Toddlers and Tiaras" in January.
Mama June, the "coupon queen" who clips her way to savings to fund Alana's pageant gear, has failed as a parent in a few ways. Most video clips of Ms. Alana show a child who can't sit still and who unintelligibly rushes through her "lines" — all of which are sung out, as though she's on a stage. Even when she's at home.
Also, her daughter, at age 6, appears to have fallen way behind in speech development. (When Alana first appeared on the scene, TLC added sub-titles for viewers, with good reason.)
June, who is grossly overweight, also doesn't seem interested in breaking that particular cycle either. She feeds Alana "special juice" — half energy drink and half "caffeinated beverage" that resembles Mountain Dew — to get her psyched up for pageants.
"My special juice is gonna help me winnnnn," Alana declares.
PS. Shame on you Dr. Drew for making a cutesy bit out of it. I'm pretty sure most non-sellout doctors would advise against feeding a 6-year-old high doses of sugar and caffiene.
Perhaps my ex-Catholic guilt is too strong, but I contend no 6-year-old should ever have to wear a spray tan or fake breasts; be told to suck in her belly; sexy up her dance routine ("Shake your butt, baby!" Alana's mother shouts from the audience in one episode); or make porn-star-esque pouty faces to a panel of judges (allegedly grown adults). Plenty of time for that after they turn 18.
Then there's the footage of wee girls with hair out to here, sitting in chairs, chastised every time they walk around because their stage moms don't want them to muss their hair.
"But I'm boreddddd," one contestant protested.
Of course she is. She's a kid. As much as their mothers insist that their children love the limelight, I'm certain Honey Boo Boo et al would prefer to run around, play with her toys, maybe watch a little "Yo Gabba Gabba" and go to bed. (Alana herself says in one episode, "Beauty is so boring, I don't even want to do it.") Of course, they'd probably have to be taught how to be real children after years of Aqua Net fumes on the brain.
I shouldn't pick on the Thompsons, as there are many more Honey Boo Boos out there. And really, viewers share much of the blame for enabling a legion of little monsters even Lady Gaga would disown. I recognize the "what the wha?" value of programs like "T&T" but any healthy person should feel very dirty indeed for partaking in more than 10 minutes of this swill. And if a sample of "Toddlers & Tiaras" or Google's search results for "Honey Boo Boo" isn't enough to convince you, consider this: "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo's" ratings beat those of the Republican National Convention on Fox News, and tied CNN's coverage of Bill Clinton's speech at the DNC.
Do we really take more stock in the goings on attention-starved wingnuts than we do in the future of our nation?
On second thought, don't answer that.
Yes, Honey Boo Boo believes she's a "superstar" because she does pageants. She's also insufferable and demands constant validation and attention—god help her if she grows up to be anything less than cute. I'm fairly certain no amount of couponing will cover Alana's therapy bills when she hits her awkward phase—or realizes what a spectacle her mother created when she was too young to know any better.

Corsair TX750W Review - Updated
If right now you are thinking OCC has already reviewed the Corsair TX750W, then you would be correct. It was last looked at here in June 2008, so please go back and have a look at ccokeman's review and see how OCC once tested power supplies. Installing a power supply in a high end PC, software stressing the processor and graphics card to load the power supply and measuring the rail voltages is one way of testing. Some people might say this is a "real world" way of testing power supplies and many review sites are still doing it this way but, and I'm sure OCC won't mind me saying this, it can be done better.
Corsair has kindly supplied another TX750W power supply to OCC and this time round I will be loading the power supply up to or very near its maximum power and seeing how it performs. My testing methodology is by no means perfect, but it is the next logical step up and I'm confident my test regime will give accurate results from which I can reach a fair, accurate and valid conclusion.
"Enthuiasts looking for the optimal in price performance PSU technology will find the Corsair TX650/750W series of PSUs will meet even the most demanding of required specifications. The Corsair TX650/750W power supplies are engineered using advanced technology and components typically found with high performance power supplies. With design features such as a dedicated, single 12V rail, the TX series offers the maximum compatibility with the latest system components. Energy efficient circuitry capable of delivering 80% efficiency ratings across 20%, 50% and 100% load conditions make the TX family of PSUs ideal for the value/quality conscious enthusiasts. With a large 140mm (120mm on the TX650W) diameter temperature controlled fan that is ultra quiet, yet still more than sufficient to cool the internals of the system, reliability and stability are no longer worries for the gamer, overclocker or enthusiast and high end system builder. Each Corsair TX power supply is backed with an industry leading 5 year warranty and 24/7 on demand customer service."
Let's have a look at the Corsair TX750W and see how it performs.
Closer Look:
The Corsair TX750W packaging once again closely follows the layout used for the rest of its power supply range. This time around a black and orange theme is used. The lid shows the usual arty photograph of the power supply, a short five point list of the main features of the power supply in English, Spanish and French, the Corsair sailing ship logo with large TX750W logo and finally a five year warranty, 80 Plus and SLI ready icon. The underside of the box contains a wealth of information with various close up photographs of the power supply, a core features list, specification table, part number CMPSU-750TX and audible noise and efficiency graphs.
On the sides of the Corsair TX750W box there are photographs and quantities of all the connectors available along with a short paragraph or two, in three different languages, introducing the power supply and its main features
The sides of the box are identical and show the Corsair logo along with model number.
Lift the lid and the first thing you see is the user manual on top of the foam envelope that encases the power supply. The TX750W is non-modular and all the cables are neatly bound and tucked down the side of the power supply along with the power chord. The power supply is contained in a draw string black felt bag.
Photographs of the black felt covered power supply and neatly bound cables along with the enclosed accessories (power cord, user manual, power supply fixing screws, case badge and black cable ties).
The Corsair TX750W is well protected against transit damage and includes all necessary accessories for a successful installation. Let's have a look inside the felt bag.

How long will the current insurance business model be sustainable? Core products are increasingly viewed as commodities. New competitors are emerging from across industry lines. Technology innovation will make some aspects of current insurance obsolete.
Accenture thinks it's time to be proactive and move "beyond insurance." Our new white paper probes two important growth options:
In commercial lines, insurers should be working closely with technology innovators to make new products and services "safe realities"—much as Lloyd's of London and other carriers helped to transform the risky shipping business into a global industry centuries ago.
In personal insurance, a carrier can become a trusted advisor to clients—like a "life coach"—helping them manage their risks but also helping them manage the broader complexities of their lives.

It's been years since Oneida County has experienced the level of violent killings that occurred this past year
There were least 13 shooting, stabbing or beating deaths, including several murder-suicides – much higher than the two homicides reported in Oneida County last year.
It's been years since Oneida County has experienced the level of violent killings that occurred this past year.
There were least 13 shooting, stabbing or beating deaths, including several murder-suicides – much higher than the two homicides reported county-wide last year, according to state statistics.
Of those homicides, four are currently left unsolved as this year draws to a close. Here are some of the challenges police face in those cases:
Jason "Klutch" Oates – killed March 28 in Rome.
In a week that saw three back-to-back homicides total in Utica and Rome, Oates' shooting death behind the Rome YMCA has proven to be the hardest to pin down.
Witnesses saw someone wearing a dark-hooded sweatshirt as he fled the dark parking lot off Stevens Street, police said. But beyond that, police believe there are people who know more than they're willing to tell authorities.
Rome police have tried to look for clues in the life that 32-year-old Oates lived – not an easy task, police say, since the victim was originally from Alabama and wasn't familiar with many local residents.
As police have gathered information on Oates' background, both before and after he came to Rome, they've learned that he was aspiring to pursue a career in rap music. Why he was killed, however, is less clear.
"There are several possibilities, but at this point we're not set on one specific reason," Rome police Detective Commander Timothy Bates said.
John C. Spratt – killed July 24 in Utica.
When Spratt, 44, was gunned down in a stairwell alongside Mahanna's Market on Whitesboro Street, it was about 9:45 p.m. and there weren't many witnesses to what happened.
But what made matters worse, Utica police said, was when several onlookers began chucking glass beer bottles at the responding officers. Out of concern for their safety, the investigators' efforts were cut short that night.
"When we conduct our analysis of the evidence, we like to take as much time as we need to double check everything and scour the neighborhood," Utica police Sgt. Steven Hauck said. "Unfortunately, due to the actions of some people that night, that aspect had to be sped up and I can't help but think we would have spent more time there that night than we did."
Investigators went back the next day and made up for lost time, Hauck said. But, police will never know if things would have turned out differently if those first crucial hours after Spratt's homicide hadn't been compromised.
Odum Shealey Jr. – killed Nov. 10 in Utica.
Shealey, 21, was fatally shot near the corner of Eagle Street and Conkling Avenue shortly after 10:30 p.m., a time when few people would have seen the killing.
Police have released few details on Shealey's death – including what the motive might have been, whether police have any suspects and even the number of times the young man was shot.
Police typically are tight-lipped about the facts of investigations in order to narrow down the people who actually know something, instead of those who only repeat what they hear in the news. But in Shealey's case, as well as Spratt's, Hauck said getting people to come forward with information is proving to be an obstacle.
"I think that there are legitimate concerns on some people's parts when it comes to cooperating with police for fear of retaliation from an outside entity, like the suspect or the suspect's family," Hauck said. "But in this case, I can't really speculate about the reasons for not coming forward."
Andrew Mateo — killed Dec. 26 in Utica.
In the city's most recent homicide, Mateo, 25, of Utica, was killed after an argument on Dickinson Street. He was in the driver's seat of a car and the shooter was outside the car. Following the shooting, Mateo then drove south on Oneida Street before losing consciousness and striking a business building.
Anyone with information about either Shealey's, Mateo's or Spratt's homicide can call Utica police at 223-3510. Anyone with information on Oates' homicide can call Rome police at 339-7715.

Its just that above water isn't enough. Even without Nokia Microsoft would still sell some devices and even only one keeps them above water. But that's not enough. They need significant market share. Nokia doesn't help here. In fact before Nokia joined WP market share was more or less the same its now.
Microsoft knows that. Bill Gates himself wrote there strategy failed. That applies to Surface and to the Nokia partnership. They already are changing. Huawei is there strategic partner for Africa. Once Nokia land but now its Huawei for Microsoft. Same for the WP8 hero-device, the showcase. That wasn't from Nokia, it was from HTC.
If Microsoft has more success with an own Surface Phone is as questionable as Nokia coming back anytime. What stays? Partnerships with other candidates. HTC isn't going to help them either. Huawei is mostly Android, Samsung rejected. Dell? Who else would be stupid enough to try where even Nokia, the market-leader back then, failed and got destroyed on the way trying?

Department of Revenue News Release
November 22, 2011Dec. 20 is Deadline to Submit Proposals to Manage Branson & Lakeview License Offices
JEFFERSON CITY - Interested groups or individuals will have until Dec. 20 to bid to operate the Branson and Lakeview license offices in southwest Missouri.
Last week, the Office of Administration issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) asking for bids to manage each of the license offices. The ability for people or groups to bid to run local license offices is part of Gov. Jay Nixon's reformed competitive process that requires the Missouri Department of Revenue to choose office agents that present the best proposals for customer service and financial efficiency.
The RFPs note geographical boundaries for both of the offices. A bid to manage the Branson License Office, currently located in Cedar Ridge Plaza at 1447-C State Highway 248, could include a new location for the office, but it would have to be within the city limits of Branson. Bids for the Lakeview License Office (also known as the Branson West License Office) must include a location within Stone County and preferably 15 or more miles away from the Crane License Office. The Lakeview office is currently located in Claybough Plaza Mall at 11016 E. State Highway 76, Suite 34, in Branson West.
People interested in submitting a bid to operate the Branson office may take a tour of the current facility from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 7. People interested in submitting a bid to run the Lakeview office may take a tour of the office from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 5.
During Fiscal Year 2011 (July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011), the Branson License Office conducted 86,254 transactions and generated $268,986 in agent processing fees. The Lakeview License Office conducted 36,294 transactions and generated $122,073 in agent fees.
Common transactions that take place at local license offices include renewing or applying for a driver license, renewing or applying for registration on motor vehicles, boats and outboard motors, and applying for titles and paying sales taxes on these units.
Copies of the RFPs that bidders will use to develop their bids can be viewed at https://www.moolb.mo.gov/.

Hello everybody,
I'm setting up an IPCop firewall for this company I know in my free time.
Now everything works fine, except for the link between the Green(lan) and blue(Wifi).
- Old box with enough ram for IPCop
- 3 NIC's in IPCop box = 1 for the "RED" (external eth2) 1 for the "GREEN"(lan eth0) and 1 for the "BLUE"(Wifi eth1) network.
- Windows XP clients
- Windows 2003 Servers and DC
- Access Point
- WPA encryption
I got everything working and communicating with the internet, including the Wifi, so that's not the problem. The problem now is, this company wants the wireless users to be able to authenticate to the AD DC, receive DHCP from their DHCP server, be able to access the shares on the file server etc...
Now I advised them to use the VPN (roadwarrior) feature, to connect to their LAN (GREEN) but they thought it to be too difficult to administer once my job had finished .
So the tidious task of shooting DMZ holes in the firewall between BLUE and GREEN began.
Thank god that IPCop now has the possibility to add entire NET's instead of having to add every single address of BLUE.
I made DHCP work (port 68), made LDAP work (port 389), DNS works (port53), etc...
Ok so what is the problem then you ask
For optimal communication between a client (winXP) and the AD DC I need ICMP to work between BLUE and GREEN, because Windows must be able to check if the link is slow etc...
So because this can't be done via a port, I need to adjust the IPTables I guess ... This is where my knowledge stops a bit ...I've been reading up on it (the AO tutorial here and the internet page here ) but I need to find a solution quick ... Now I just need to know how to go about this and if I'm on the right track...
Do I add IPTables in the rc.local file on IPCop like this:
Is this the correct syntax to allow echo (0) reply from GREEN (eth0) to BLUE (eth1) (ping from blue to green) , do I need to add more then just echo reply for this setup to work ? What else can you recommend as ports to be open ? Is it "safe" to open port 445 (in retrospect I know it isn't but I'm not sure if Windows needs it at this point, need to check that)Code:$IPT -A CUSTOMINPUT -i $BLUE_DEV -p icmp --icmp-type 0 -j ACCEPT
Or is there a total other way to go about this ???
And they thought VPN was difficult
Any info I missed, don't hesitate to ask.
Many thanks in advance for any help.

Turnover target increase of Preston firm after funding boost
August 16, 2011 in Business Chamber News, Liverpool by admin
Preston-based supplier of commercial catering and refrigeration equipment supplier Valera, has said it is aiming for sales of £10m over the next two years after securing a £2.5m funding package, including invoice finance.
The company, founded in the early 1990's is a distributor for such corporate brands as Sanyo and Whirlpool and the products is supplies include items such as commercial microwave ovens, fat free fryers, and dishwashers.
The firms' founder and managing director Pratap Gadhvi said the business was caught cold by currency fluctuations at the onset of the recession as stock that had been purchased in advance was left unsold.
However, he said that a finance package – which comprises a £1.6m cash flow facility and a £400,000 loan should provide it with the liquidity to take advantage of emerging opportunities.
"Our banking partner was largely unsupportive of our situation…." said Gadhvi as he explained that "More than 60 per cent of our business is done between April and September, so it was also important to ensure cash flow was boosted all year round."
Gadhvi said Valera is on target up hit a turnover of £10m in 2013, which is up from the £8m it posted in its last full financial year to 30 September 2010. Pre-tax profit in that financial year was £83,000.

Paycheck Protection in Michigan
The U. S. Supreme Court's 1988 landmark decision Communication Workers v. Beck established the rights of employees working under union contracts to pay only those union dues or fees necessary to cover the costs of a union's employee representation duties. However, the majority of Michigan's nearly one million union workers are unaware of their rights under the Beck decision for the simple reason that their unions neglect to inform them. This report shows how "paycheck protection" legislation would help safeguard worker Beck rights by requiring unions to obtain up-front, written approval from individual workers each year before they could spend the dues money on political or other non-workplace-related activities. The report recommends that Michigan policy makers adopt a paycheck protection proposal to help union workers enjoy their freedoms of speech and association as they refrain from involuntarily contributing money to union causes with which they disagree.

Topaz Labs
About a month ago one of my coworkers, and a talented pano shooter, Scott Knauss, mentioned Topaz Labs and asked me if I had tried any of their plug-ins. Being the crash test dummy that I am I downloaded a few of them and requested a temporary license key so I could test drive them (the test license is good for 30 days).
I've since registered Topaz Labs Detail, Adjust, and DeNoise. I use Detail and Denoise on my macro images now, and Adjust on my closeup and landscape images (for those few times that I actually take the MPE-65mm macro lens off of my camera). The image included with this post was processed as follows:
I first open the image in the Element's RAW editor and make any necessary changes to the exposure and white balance (usually setting the temperature of my light to 5800 K). I then open the image in the Elements main editor and use the healing brush to rub out any dust spots. I then run Topaz DeNoise and use the standard RAW preset. It takes a little while for DeNoise to analyze an image, but it's worth it -to me it does a better job of preserving detail than NoiseWare Pro.
Once I've removed the image noise I sharpen the photo with Topaz Detail using the Micro Contrast preset. With Detail I also adjust the highlights and shadows (if necessary) and add a little saturation. Once Detail is finished I create a Levels adjustment layer and set a black point.
I can not emphasize that last step enough -setting a black point will really make your photos "pop"!
All that's left is to save the image as a PSD (in case I want to go back and make any changes) and a JPG. At the risk of sounding like I've been paid to write a review: Topaz Labs has allowed me to bring my post processing to a level where it's no longer the weakest aspect of my photography. If any of you have been using Topaz Labs plug-ins and have any tips for me then please leave them in the comments!

Shirvani Selected as University System Chancellor
Posted on 3/14/2012
For More Information Contact:
John R. Irby, Public Affairs Consultant
North Dakota University System
Phone: 701.328.2962
BISMARCK, N.D. - Hamid Augustine Shirvani has been named chancellor of the North Dakota University System. Shirvani, 61, was selected Tuesday by the State Board of Higher Education and is expected to begin his appointment by July 1.
"Dr. Shirvani's record of leadership, working with students and his visionary approach to higher education makes him the perfect fit to lead the North Dakota University System," said Grant Shaft, SBHE President.
Shirvani, president since 2005 of California State University-Stanislaus, Turlock, Calif., was selected after two finalists emerged, including Marshall Hill, executive director, Nebraska Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education, Lincoln, Neb. Two others had also been recommended by the search committee and invited to final interviews Tuesday, and were removed from further consideration during discussion of the final four. They were Tim Flakoll, provost of Tri-College University, Fargo-Moorhead, and Warren Kent Wray, interim chancellor, Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, Mo.
North Dakota's new chancellor will be paid between $340,000 and $350,000, according to Shaft, slightly above the state's highest-paid university president. The chancellor serves as the chief executive officer of the SBHE, is the chief executive officer of the NDUS and carries out the policies and directives of the board of higher education. The NDUS office is located at the state Capitol in Bismarck. Shirvani will succeed William Goetz, who is retiring in August.
Shirvani earned a master's degree from Harvard and a doctorate from Princeton. He has served as a professor or administrator in California, Colorado, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania.
Direct reports to the chancellor include the campus presidents, the vice chancellor for academic and student affairs, the vice chancellor for administrative affairs, the vice chancellor for strategic planning and executive director of CTEC, the general counsel/SBHE executive secretary, chief information officer, director of internal audit and risk assessment, the public affairs and marketing director and the executive assistant/office manager.

Web Services Security SOAP Message Security (WS-Security) is an international standard for interoperable web services security that was developed in OASIS by a collaboration of all the major providers of web services technology (including Sun Microsystems). WS-Security is a message security mechanism that uses XML Encryption and XML Digital Signature to secure web services messages sent over SOAP. The WS-Security specification defines the use of various security tokens including X.509 certificates, SAML assertions, and username and password tokens to authenticate and encrypt SOAP Web Services messages. This section also includes the following sections:
Understanding message security in the Web Server
Securing a web service
Securing a sample application
Configuring the Web Server for message security
Admin Console tasks for message security
The Web Server offers integrated support for the WS-Security standard in the server-side container. This functionality is integrated with Web Services security and enforced by the container of the Web Server on behalf of applications. Web Server can protect any web service application without requiring changes to the implementation of the application. The Web Server achieves this effect by providing facilities to bind SOAP layer message security providers and message protection policies to container and to applications deployed in container.
In the Web Server, the system administrator and application deployer roles are expected to take primary responsibility for configuring message security. In some situations, the application developer also contribute, although in the typical case either of the roles might secure an existing application without changing its implementation and therefore without involving the developer. The responsibilities of the various roles are defined in the following sections.
The system administrator is responsible for the following tasks:
Configuring message security providers on the Web Server
Managing user databases
Managing the keystore and truststore files
Deploying the samples program fromwsdl-soap12, which demonstrates the message layer web services security
A system administrator uses the Admin Console to manage server security settings. Web Server stores certificates and private keys in an NSS database, the administrator can manage them using certutil. For an overview of message security tasks, see Configuring the Web Server for Message Security.
The application deployer is responsible for the following tasks:
Specifying at application assembly any required application-specific message protection policies if such policies have not already been specified by upstream roles (the developer or assembler).
Modifying Sun deployment descriptors to specify application-specific message protection policies information message-security-binding elements to a web service endpoint.
The application developer can setup message security but is not responsible for doing so. The system administrator can set the message security so that all Web Services are secured. The application deployer can set the message security when the provider or protection policy bound to the application must be different from that bound to the container.
The application developer or assembler is responsible for the following tasks:
Determining whether an application-specific message protection policy is required by the application. If the policy is required, the developer or assembler works with the application deployer and ensures that the required policy is specified during application assembly.
The WS-Security specification provides an extensible mechanism for using security tokens to authenticate and encrypt SOAP Web Services messages. Use the SOAP-layer message security providers installed with the Web Server to employ username, password and X.509 certificate security tokens to authenticate and encrypt SOAP Web Services messages.
The Web Server uses username tokens in the SOAP messages to establish the authentication identity of the message sender. The recipient of a message containing a Username token within an embedded password validates that the message sender is authorized to act as the user (identified in the token) by confirming that the sender knows the users secret password.
When using a Username token, a valid user database must be configured on the Web Server.
The Web Server uses XML Digital signatures to bind an authentication identity to the message content. Clients use digital signatures to establish their caller identity, analogous to basic authentication or SSL client certificate authentication. Digital signatures are verified by the message receiver to authenticate the source of the message content, which might be different from the sender of the message. When using digital signatures, valid keystore and truststore files must be configured on the Web Server.
The purpose of encryption is to modify the data such that it can only be understood by its intended audience. This modification is accomplished by substituting an encrypted element for the original content. When predicated on public key cryptography, encryption establishes the identity of the parties who can read the message.
Message protection policies are defined for request message processing and response message processing. These policies are expressed in terms of requirements for source or recipient authentication. A source authentication policy requires that the identity of the entity that sent a message or that defined the content of a message be established in the message so that the message receiver can authenticate it. A recipient authentication policy represents a requirement that the message be sent such that the identity of the entities that can receive the message can be established by the message sender. The providers apply specific message security mechanisms so that the message protection policies are in SOAP Web Services messages.
Request and response message protection policies are defined when a provider is configured in a container. You can also configure application-specific message protection policies at the granularity of the web service port or operation within the Sun deployment descriptors of the application or application client. Where message protection policies are defined, the request and response message protection policies of the client must match the request and response message protection policies of the server.
Web Services deployed on the Web Server are secured by binding SOAP-layer message security providers and message protection policies to the container in which the applications are deployed or to web service endpoints served by the applications. When the Web Server is installed, SOAP-layer message security providers are configured in the server-side container of the Web Server. The container or individual applications in the container can bind to them or to individual applications in the container. During installation, the providers are configured with a simple message protection policy that, if bound to a container or to an application, would cause the source of the content in all request and response messages to be authenticated by an XML digital signature.
Use the Admin Console and CLI to perform the following tasks:
To bind the existing providers for use by the server-side containers of the Web Server
To modify the message protection policies enforced by the providers
To create new provider configurations with alternative message protection policies
By default, message layer security is disabled on the Web Server. For more information about how to configure message layer security for the Web Server, seeConfiguring the Web Server for Message Security. For more information about how to use Web Services security to protect all Web Services applications deployed on the Web Server, see Enabling Providers for Message Security.
Once this security is established, Web Services security will be applied to all Web Services applications deployed on the Web Server.
Configure application-specific web services during application assembly by defining message-security-binding elements in the applications Sun deployment descriptors. Use these message-security-binding elements to associate a specific provider or message protection policy with a web services endpoint or service reference. You can also qualify these elements so that they apply to a specific port or method of the corresponding endpoint or referenced service.
All the steps for setting up the Web Server for using message security can be accomplished using the Admin Console or the wadm command-line tool. For more information on message security, see Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 5 Administrator's Guide.
Support for message-layer security is integrated into the Web Server in the form of pluggable authentication modules. By default, message layer security is disabled on the Web Server. The tasks in this section provide the details for enabling, creating, editing, and deleting message security configurations and providers.
To create a message security provider
To enable providers for message security
To delete a message security provider
To enable message security for stand-alone clients
In most cases, you need to restart or reconfigure the Web Server after performing these tasks, especially to apply the change to applications already deployed on Web Server.
You can add or edit or modify the message protection policy. The provider type, implementation class, and provider-specific configuration properties should be modified.
Login to the Admin Console.
Select the configuration you want to modify and click Edit Configuration.
Click the Java tab.
Click the Authentication tab and scroll down to the SOAP Authentication.
Click New to add a provider.
Add the new provider information
In this page, following information is available for modification.
Only Name and class Name are required. If these two fields are not specified, no authentication is applied to request or response messages. All other values are optional.
Name: Identifier for this provider. You can use this identifier name to specify the default provider when using wadm.
Class Name: The Java implementation class of the provider. Server-side providers must implement the com.sun.enterprise.security.jauth.ServerAuthModule interface.
The request policy defines the authentication policy requirements associated with request processing performed by the authentication provider. Type the policies in message-sender order. For example, a requirement that encryption occur after content means that the message receiver expects to decrypt the message before validating the signature.
Request Authentication Source— Possible values are:
sender: Message-layer sender authentication, such as username and password
content: Content authentication, for example, digital signature
null: Source authentication of the request is not required
Click the Add Property button to add additional properties.
The provider shipped with the Web Server requires the server-config property. If other providers are used, refer to their documentation for more information on properties and valid values.
server.config: The directory and file name of an XML file that contains the server configuration information. This file is in the following location install_dir/samples/java/webapps/webservices/security/etc/wss-server-config-2.0.xml.
Click OK.
Create a message security provider msgsecurity-provider:../bin/wadm create-soap-auth-provider --port=8989 --user=admin --password-file=/tmp/admin.passwd --config=test --class=com.sun.xml.wss.provider.ServerSecurityAuthModule --request-policy-auth-source=content --request-policy-auth-recipient=before-content --request-policy-auth-recipient=before-content --request-policy-auth-recipient=before-content msgsecurity-provider
Add the required property server.config:../bin/wadm set-soap-auth-provider-prop --port=8989 --user=admin --password-file=/tmp/admin.passwd --config=test --provider=msgsecurity-provider request-policy-auth-source=sender
List the provider properties: ../bin/wadm get-soap-auth-provider-prop --port=8989 --user=admin --password-file=/tmp/admin.passwd --config=test --provider=msgsecurity-provider
For more information about wadm commands and properties, see Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 5 Administrator's Configuration File Reference
You can enable the message security Web Services endpoints by specifying the default provider on the server side or by specifying in the message-binding element in sun-web.xml.
If you enable a default provider for message security, you also need an appropriate message security on the client side.
You cannot specify a default provider using the Admin Console. You have to specify the default provider through the wadm command-line interface.
../bin/wadm set-config-prop --port=8989 --user=admin --password-file=/tmp/admin.passwd --config=test default-soap-auth-provider-name=msgsecurity-provider
Login to the Admin Console.
Select the configuration you want to modify and click Edit Configuration.
Click the Java tab.
Click the Authentication tab and scroll down to SOAP Authentication.
Click Delete.
To delete a message security provider through the command-line interface, type the following command:wadm delete-soap-auth-provider --port=8989 --user=admin --password-file=/tmp/admin.passwd --config=test msgsecurity-provider
Configure the message protection policies of client so that they are equivalent to the message protection policies of the server-side providers with which they interact. A typical stand-alone client is illustrated by the bundled sample fromwsdl-soap12.

The Battle of the Coasts, as we like to call it, isn't limited just to drag racers and show cars. Living proof is CJ Gibson (and her sister, Raquel, but let's focus here.) Apparently, the large concentration of beaches also lends itself well to growing natural beauties such as these.
One look into CJ's mesmerizing eyes is all it takes for men to stop dead in their tracks and forget about the world around them. After being hooked, it's pretty easy for CJ to get any man to do her bidding. This girl pumps iron and her buns of steel graced the pages of mags like FHM, Muscle & Fitness, Muscle Magazine, as well as catalog work. And her fun-loving attitude just makes her appeal all the more seductive; causing anyone within sight to fall in love in a heartbeat.
Her career as a fitness model has taken her all over the world, and recently she finished a video set with www.envyseries.com (she's the abs of envy girl). CJ's flat stomach is her own favourite feature and there's little doubt that a few men would love the chance to bounce a quarter off it! Her fit body shape has created many opportunities for the Floridian bombshell and CJ has been featured on numerous magazine covers during her short tenure in the modeling world. CJ's beautiful poses have made her an Internet favourite as Maxim magazine calls her "one of the most downloaded models on the net."
Although CJ can be fearless at times (she did a photo shoot with sharks once!) she still quivers when a spider comes by. CJ has a breathtaking smile and captivating eyes that quickly envelop the most jaded individual. As a highly sought-after model, CJ enjoys the travel that comes with her career and always has a smile and a word for the fans.
Then there are those rare occasions when she appears with her sister Raquel – hearts beat triple and men fall all over themselves chasing the stunning siblings. It's not often the sexy sisters get together outside of an airport, but they have worked together in the past and the results were… well, breathtaking doesn't quite do it justice. It's almost unfair that two sisters should look so good!
Birthdate : November 30
Sign of the Zodiac : Sagittarius
Measurements : 34C-22-35
Nationality : Filipina, Italian
Hometown : Clearwater, FL
Turn-ons : Cleanliness, family values, goal oriented, white t-shirts (they look so fresh, crispy, clean… like sexiness written all over it!)
Turn-offs : Laziness, lack of confidence, and dirty shoes (Payless is right around the corner… get some clean shoes!)
PAS: Describe yourself in three words:
CJ Gibson: Honest, friendly and active.
PAS: How did you get started in modeling?
CJ Gibson: A single photo shoot with a great photographer – thank you Jeff Black! And the Internet helped me get noticed. Thank you WWW! Laughs
PAS: What was the strangest photo shoot you've done?
CJ Gibson: How about a shoot with sharks? Needles to say, those pictures did not come out so well. Laughs
PAS: What physical feature would you change if you could?
CJ Gibson: Absolutely nothing. I have learned this was the way I was meant to be. Why change your creation? Then you're not you!
PAS: What is your most prized possession?
CJ Gibson: My precious nieces and nephews. I love being an aunt.
PAS: What is your idea of perfect happiness?
CJ Gibson: When the smile won't leave your face.
PAS: What is your greatest regret?
CJ Gibson: None, you learn from your regrets… and I hate dwelling on the past of what I did or didn't do, say, act on or where I was that moment. Everything happens for a reason!
PAS: Have you posed in the nude? If so, how did it make you feel?
CJ Gibson: Yes I have, but not publicly. And posing did not bother me; it was the few pictures that got into the wrong hands that entitled everyone to see it later. It felt intruding.
PAS: What is the sexiest thing about a man?
CJ Gibson: Confidence and the security he makes you feel inside and out.
PAS: What would make you slap a man?
CJ Gibson: Slap where? I don't believe in violence. But I would slap his butt if it was nice. Laughs. Or maybe the back of his head lightly to knock some sense into him if the case came up.
PAS: What quality do you like most in a woman?
CJ Gibson: Their innocence, when they still have it.
PAS: What is your motto?
CJ Gibson: Share your smile with everyone but your heart with only one.
PAS: What current, past or future projects are you most excited about or are the most memorable for you?
CJ Gibson: I don't know what the future holds for me, but I am just hoping that my success continues. Oh, and I am also excited to be finally getting a website created (www.misscj.com), so be on the look-out!
PAS: Any shout outs or last words?
CJ Gibson: Yes, shout outs to all the sweetest models whom I have come across to work with and gained as a friend. And to all the fans out there supporting us models! And last, but not least… to all who are reading this! Thank you!

MARIE 0.4, FlowDesigner 0.9.0 and RobotFlow 0.2.6 Released
The LABORIUS Research Laboratory on Mobile Robotics and Intelligent Systems, Université de Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada, is proud to announce the latest release of its software suite including MARIE 0.4, FlowDesigner 0.9.0 and RobotFlow 0.2.6.
MARIE is a robotics development and integration environment focused on software reusability and exploitation of already available APIs and middlewares frequently used in robotics. MARIE is based on ACE for its communications. This version supports : FlowDesigner, RobotFlow, Player/Stage/Gazebo, CARMEN , PMAP, RADISH, ARIA, ARNL, Expression Toolkit and Festival.
FlowDesigner is a data flow-oriented development environment. It can be used to build complex applications by combining small, reusable building blocks. In some ways, it is similar to both Simulink and LabView , but is hardly a clone of either. Few bugs were fixed in this release and we are preparing for the integration of more Lapack and Octave blocks.
RobotFlow is a mobile robotics tookit based on the FlowDesigner project. The visual programming interface provided in the FlowDesigner project will help people to better visualize and understand what is really happening in the robot's control loops, sensors,actuators, by using graphical probes and debugging in real-time. More behaviors and vision blocks using OpenCV were added to this release.
All comments and contributions are welcomed.
The Laborius development team.

Kate Walsh rocks out a big curly blonde wig for her epic 70′s disco dance party held at her home in Los Angeles on Saturday night (April 2).
The 43-year-old actress, who was celebrating her new Boyfriend fragrance, tweeted, "My badass 70′s glam rock disco dance party dance party, benefiting Oceana and B-day girl Jana Huntsinger, my BFF from Tucson: oh, it's on!!"
Half-way through the party, Kate and a dance partner put on an impromptu disco performance. "Her dance moves were sick," a partygoer revealed. "Kate killed it on the dance floor."
Celeb guests, who sipped 42 Below Vodka cocktails and danced to tunes by DJ Jordan Masterson, included Zachary Quinto, Mr. Sunshine's Allison Janney, The Office's Angela Kinsey and Kate Flannery, Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice creator Shonda Rhimes, Kate's Private co-stars Paul Adelstein, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Taye Diggs (with wife Idina Menzel), and her former Grey's co-stars Katherine Heigl, T.R.

The amount of destinations alone is impressive, nevermind the fact that you played disc golf at all of them.
The closest 18-hole course to Warren, MI is going to be either Firefighters in Troy or Brys Park in St. Clair Shores. I would opt for Firefighters, myself. Brys, which is actually 24 or 27 holes, is way too open, with lots of short holes, and there is a popular walking path that winds around the course, which sucks. I believe both the 18-hole courses in Royal Oak, which is also not far from Warren, are the types of courses where it's 9 pins, each shared by 2 tee pads. I have not played Hudson Mills, which is probably much better than all of the aforementioned courses, but it's also a bit of a drive from Warren. Hope that helps, and I hope you enjoy your time in the beautiful, sunny Detroit area.
Warren, MI is also unknown to many and heralded by absolutely no one as the birthplace of Mike Hyzer. As for a statue, last I asked they were still considering it.If you really want to do yourself a favor and feast upon the best Italian food in the northeast quadrant of southeastern Michigan, I recommend dinner at Louie's Pizza, on Dequindre Rd. & 9-1/2 Mile Rd, just west of Warren in Hazel Park.

Rural youth need agricultural skills
عضو منذ ٩ أكتوبر، ٢٠١٣
- 36 مشاركة
What do you think about skills for rural and urban youth? Are they the same? The answer is positively different because it depends on related factors such as the environment of youth, education, technology, and so forth. Here we will elaborate what kind of skills rural youth have.Rural and urban areas have quite the same characteristics. Poverty is sometimes identical with the rural area, predominantly in low and some middle income countries. This stereotype cannot easily be lost because most people who live in rural areas, work in agricultural and forestry sectors with low salaries. Youth who live in rural areas also face disadvantages due to limited skills they harbor to counterbalance the same skills of urban youth. The limited skill of rural youth will limit them to look for an appropriate job. So, the youth perception is that living in rural areas does not give them the potential to find a good job. Furthermore, youth migrate to urban areas to look for better jobs; and in rural areas, agricultural lands are abandoned because there are no young people who want to be farmers.
Despite the above, gender disparity still occurs in rural areas mainly because young women are especially isolated and marginalized due to accessing a good education. Directly and indirectly, the involvement of young women will detract the golden opportunity to sustain a better life than before. Although they have a chance to stay in school, the lack of knowledge and assets to reach the right education still haunts them to get proper skills. UNFAO has developed a programme for developing skill of youth in rural area in the realm of agriculture. By giving training about agriculture, on how embody sustainable agriculture, is good thing for skills development. Set theories also should be prompted to be given to them. Why should be agriculture firstly to youth lived in rural area? Like the mentioned above, rural area is close to agricultural. Agricultural development is the best way for economic growth to address the problem of skill lacking for youth in rural area. However, the kind of agriculture that will be evolved is not traditional, but it is needed an ancillary thing known as technology. Youth should know how to use technology theoretically and practically. Other things needed are land, labor, and capital. In Indonesia, the government provides an integrated mechanism to develop skills and technologies in agriculture, namely agricultural intensification or PANCA USAHA TANI. It is proven, given the benefits for economic, social, and ecology to the farmers.

Purell® Touchless Dispenser for Foam and Gel
Touchless Purell® Dispenser helps maintain sanitary hands to prevent illness. Safely dispense the right amount of Purell® Hand Sanitizing Foam or Gel every time, with no drips or messy counters and floors. Kills 99.99% of most common germs that cause illness. 30,000 dispenses from three C-size batteries (included). Dispenser holds 40.5 oz Purell® refills.
Is Purell® Instant Hand Sanitizer active against Swine/H1N1 Flu?
While no hand sanitizer is indicated to prevent Swine/H1N1 Flu, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one of the ways you can help protect yourself from Swine/H1N1 Flu is by practicing good hand hygiene. Specific CDC recommendations include keeping your hands clean by washing with soap and water, or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water may not be available, such as when you're on the go.
I purchased this unit for my massage shop and it works great. The dispenser comes with a sanitizing foam which is a waterless application, much like the purell pump bottles. I plan to replace this with the hand soap soon. Clients are looking for the soap not just the sanitizer, but LOVE the fact that I have a "touchless" dispenser for their safety.

I don't know who posted it, but we feel that way about you - I mean, we love our dead cow parts, but where would we be without Francine and Earnestine, erm, Frankie and Ernie? :-) However, Mom stores our dead cow parts on the kitchen counter, so they're a bit easier to see than you, so we'll have to settle for dead cow parts...

OH YES! I love dead cow parts. SO MUCH. Butcher shop day is the BEST DAY OF THE WEEK.
That said, what a high compliment for you to give. I do love you all that much too. However, if we were playing in my yard and you left your bone unattended, I would take it. Just being honest here.
