A D.C. police detective has been found guilty of stealing her brother's identity and thousands of dollars in loans.
Jamell Stallings, 46, was convicted of three counts of counterfeiting, three counts of ID fraud and five counts of theft over $500. She is facing up to 150 years in prison at her sentencing scheduled for April 2.
She has been a D.C. police officer since 1989, a spokesman said. She remains suspended without pay.
Prince George's County prosecutors said Stallings stole the social security number of her brother, forged signatures to several documents and opened an account in his name to take out loans of more than $18,000.

Guest Commentary by Shannon Bell
In recognition of the expanding role of cancer advocates, the NCI Cancer Bulletin will publish periodic articles on cancer advocacy, tagged with a purple series icon. To read more articles in the series, click here. Like all content in the NCI Cancer Bulletin, these articles can be republished free of charge and without prior permission.
NCI's Office of Advocacy Relations:
Bringing Advocacy and Research Together
Just as researchers and clinicians have begun to better understand that cancer is a highly complex group of diseases and have adjusted how they study and treat these diseases, cancer advocates have realized that effective advocacy is a complex and multidimensional pursuit—one in which they can play many roles.
The mission of NCI's Office of Advocacy Relations (OAR) is to support cancer advocates in their efforts. We do that by identifying and facilitating opportunities for NCI to collaborate with the advocacy community to find more effective ways to advance cancer research and patient outcomes. A key part of our work involves providing advocates with the information, tools, and opportunities they need to bring their experience, expertise, and passion to bear.
The traditional view of cancer advocates—or any disease advocates, for that matter—has been that they support patients and their families and also raise awareness. These roles continue to be vital for the cancer advocacy community.
But over the last decade, cancer advocates have become involved in other substantial ways, such as engaging in the research process and shaping public policies that affect cancer research and treatment. Such activities include serving as members of peer-review panels; forging collaborations with and between researchers; funding research; serving as information gatherers, translators, and disseminators; and communicating with policymakers, researchers, and patient communities.
We in OAR connect advocates with NCI researchers and staff looking to incorporate a collective patient perspective into a broad array of research activities, including the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program and Specialized Programs of Research Excellence, as well as in the design of clinical trials and the review of research proposals.
Just last week, the NCI Director's Consumer Liaison Group (DCLG), an NCI federal advisory committee composed entirely of community stakeholders, met to learn more about and discuss the evolving approach to cancer clinical trials. The meeting allowed DCLG members to get an in-depth look at the clinical trials process. In particular, the group learned from NCI, the Food and Drug Administration, and community researchers about how advances in genomics are leading to novel approaches to clinical trials.
This isn't education for education's sake. Relying on the collective experience of the patients and families on whose behalf they work, DCLG members can use what they have learned to aid in the design or recruitment efforts of novel clinical trials in their own communities.
In OAR, we are evolving to better serve the NCI mission to advance cancer research and improve patient outcomes. This evolution is being driven in part by a report released earlier this year by the NCI Advocates in Research Working Group (ARWG). The ARWG, which was established several years ago under the auspices of the DCLG, was charged with examining NCI's overall efforts to engage the cancer advocacy community and recommending ways to streamline and strengthen these efforts.
The ARWG report includes a number of important recommendations, and OAR is leading the effort at NCI to implement many of them.
One such initiative is aimed at establishing a more robust training program for advocates. Among the first steps is the development of an online repository of training materials produced by NCI, NIH, advocacy organizations, professional societies, and others. The repository will serve as a centralized location for tools and resources that can help advocates understand the research process, understand and translate research findings, and identify ways they can more effectively engage as research advocates. The goal is to have the repository up and running next year.
OAR is in a unique position to act as a convener, identifying areas of alignment within NCI as well as across external stakeholder groups. Recently, OAR collaborated with staff from several NCI offices and numerous disease-specific advocacy organizations to analyze the research that is being conducted across these funding sources. The goal was to identify how these organizations can work together to effectively address gaps in the research and barriers to progress.
Ultimately, our job is to establish relationships and partnerships that advance cancer research and lead to better outcomes for cancer patients, survivors, and their families. More so today than ever, advocates are a critical partner in the cancer research enterprise, and their involvement will become even more imperative in the years to come.

Do love stories ever die?
Can modern day gadgets like mobile phones and the 'http:\\www' era of internet bring you the love of your life? You haven't met her earlier, but commit to marry. Will you still call this a love marriage? And what if on the engagement day while you pull the ring out from your pocket, you realize what you planned was just a dream which never comes true...?
How would you react when a beautiful person comes into your life, becomes your most precious possession and then one day goes away from you...forever? Not all love stories are meant to have a perfect ending. Some stay incomplete. Yet they are beautiful in their own way. Ravin's love story is one such innocent and beautiful story. He believes love stories seldom die. They are meant to stay for the generations yet to come and read them. And given that one chance to narrate his love story, this is how he began...
I remember the date well: 4th March 2006. I was in Kolkata and about to reach Happy's home. I had been very excited all morning as I was going to see our gang of four after three years.

eynia wrote, On the positive side, the author packs in a tremendous amount of information. The information proceeds logically and in small steps. The reader's voice is good. On the somewhat distracting side for me, the author was writing for too broad an audience. A readership and listenership that requires physics to be explained in tidbits cannot also absorb a string of barely-familiar language in explanations. The same comment can be made for the reader. He did a good job of reading, but someone new to the material cannot absorb it well enough when it is read like a novel. Pauses are needed. At appropriate times the pace needs to be slowed. These are my primary comments.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested Monday in connection with the death of 20-year-old student Colton Gleason near the St. Cloud State University campus.
Jesse Jean Smithers, of Sauk Rapids, was charged with second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter and first-degree assault in juvenile court on Tuesday.
Prosecutors characterized the fatal punch as a tragic, unprovoked attack.
Police said Gleason was walking in an alley with two women at about 11:30 p.m. on Thursday night when a car carrying five to seven people passed them and parked. Several people soon got out, and one person delivered a fatal punch. Gleason's head hit the pavement after the punch, causing additional trauma.
The two women were not hurt, but they were only able to give vague descriptions of the suspects to police. Police declined to say where Gleason and his two friends had been that night or where they may have been going.
Gleason, of Greenfield, Minn., was studying business at Minnesota State University- Mankato. His father said he was an amazing young man who had lots of friends and was adored by his family.
"You know, we've lost our baby and we're all hurting because of that," John Gleason, the victim's father, told FOX 9 News outside the court room. "Right now, we need this to happen."
Gleason said although it was tough for him, he needed to see the person who killed his son.
"I'm going to be honest with you. This is a really hard thing," he said. "We know we need to see the person who took our son's life -- and you know, right now, we're just numb."
The Stearns County attorney has filed a motion to have Smithers tried as an adult in the case, noting his significant court history. He is currently also awaiting sentencing for a previous assault.
"All we can do now is depend on the justice system itself to make this person pay for a senseless, coward's crime," Gleason said.
Police say Gleason and Smithers didn't know each other.
Gleason also thanked officers and for quickly making an arrest before leaving the court.
"First, we want to thank all the people who've given us their prayers and support and helped us through this time," he said. "We also want to thank law enforcement that actually moved so quickly at apprehending someone."
Gleason said knowing that someone is in custody lets them begin their process of healing, but he said they "know it's a long road."

Wind development measure passes HouseBy Kirk Carapezza
Vermont Public Radio | April 27,2013
Wind turbines generate power at the Searsburg Wind Power Facility in Searsburg, Vt. Thursday, July 21, 2005. Two ridge lines in the southern Green Mountain National Forest soon could sprout 370-foot tall wind power generators, if the U.S. Forest Service approves what would be the first wind energy project on its lands anywhere in the country. A company called Deerfield Wind LLC has proposed up to 30 of the towers in a special-use application to the Forest Service. The review is expected to take up to 18 months. (AP Photo/Tim Roske)The Vermont House on Friday overwhelmingly passed a bill that was originally proposed as a moratorium on ridgeline wind development in Vermont.
Over the past two months, though, the bill was reduced to a study of how the state approves renewable energy projects.
The House voted 140-3 to approve the Senate bill.
Rep. Tony Klein, D-East Montpelier, chairman of the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee, has emerged as a lightning rod for opponents hoping to strike down wind projects. On Friday he rose to passionately acknowledge that the beleaguered bill has taken a circuitous route to the House floor.
A product of the 1960s, he quoted the Grateful Dead.
What a long, strange trip this has been, said Klein, whose committee found that the kind of research called for in the Senate bill would be nearly impossible and too expensive to conduct.
Some of the tasks that were sent to us in the Senate bill was on research that, quite frankly, hasnt been done anywhere yet, Klein told his colleagues, pointing to real estate values that may or may not be affected by energy-generation plants as one example.
To really get some sort of baseline of understanding, youve got to go to a community where a project has been built and remember that weve only had recently two projects built in the last few years and youve got to wait and see what happens to the real estate values there, Klein said.
He emphasized that his committee learned it would take four to six years to get reliable real estate information time, he said, lawmakers cant afford to take in developing energy policies.
There is an energy problem in this country, Klein added. There is an energy problem in this world, and we cant go on, business as usual and not pay attention to it.
Proponents in the House and Senate had hoped the bill would give greater local control to town and regional planning committees in reviewing renewable energy projects.
Rep. Don Turner, R-Milton, the minority leader, said his constituents who live near Georgia Mountain still hope for a more cautious, balanced approach to ridgeline wind development.
This week the wind turbines on the mountain didnt turn at all, Turner reported. We need to understand that.
Turner added, Georgia Mountain, which was this pristine mountain, now has a cut right up through the middle with four big turbines sticking out of it. Some say beautiful, some dont.
Turner and other House lawmakers said they are confident that the bill recognizes some of the flaws in Vermonts renewable energy policies.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Two delegations of Bucknell students and faculty who will travel to Nueva Vida, Nicaragua, in January and March are seeking donations of medical supplies to sustain the free health clinic there.
Nueva Vida is a resettlement community of 15,000 people who lost their homes and livelihoods to Hurricane Mitch in 1998. A volunteer project begun as a student initiative, the Bucknell Brigade – comprising Bucknell faculty, staff, students, parents and friends – has worked for the past nine years to rebuild Nueva Vida with two educational service projects each year. Past projects have included community buildings and a medical clinic.
Donations due Jan. 5
Because the volunteers will leave for Nicaragua Monday, Jan. 8, donations must be received by Jan. 5. The Brigade is seeking three types of donations: over-the-counter (OTC) medical supplies; prescription and special needs medical supplies; and monetary donations.
Donations of OTC supplies may be delivered to Ian Oliver, University Chaplain, at Rooke Chapel; to Janice Butler, director, Office of Service-Learning, at 121 Taylor Hall; or in collection boxes in the upper and lower levels of the Elaine Langone Center.
Medical supplies, especially prescription supplies or pharmaceutical samples, should be delivered to Dr. Donald Stechschulte, director of the Bucknell Student Health Services. Stechschulte will accompany the Brigade in January and March.
Monetary donations can be sent to Oliver at the Chapel. Checks can be made out to Bucknell Brigade; credit card donations can be made online at http://www.bucknell.edu/script/gifts/
Supplies needed

Typical Liberal pot calling the kettle mix up here by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about who is dividing the country.
Who is using class warfare again? Who is throwing out the racism card every time someone disagrees with President Obama agenda or the Democrat Party's for that matter? Look in the mirror to see who the real dividers Mr. Kennedy.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Headlights in stock than that.
NiteRider Lumina 550 Light $0.00
Fast bright light.
Even before daylight hours grow shorter, sometimes the quietest time to train is just before the dawn — empty roads, chirping birds, fresh, crisp air, and of course, darkness. Enter NiteRider's Lumina series. Compact, cordless, and USB rechargeable lights ensure that you'll see every bump in the road, every time that you ride. The Lumina 550 Light will keep you riding all winter long.
Niterider's Lumina 550 is the mid-line of the Lumina cordless series, sitting between the 350 and the 700. The LED bulb and lithium-ion battery were encased in a sleek, weatherproof, and single-piece shell in order to avoid a mid-ride blackout. It features four solid light levels — high, medium, low, and walk. Depending on your setting, the light will last 1.5 hours at 550 lumens, 3 hours at 250 lumens, 6 hours at 150 lumens, and 18 hours at 40 lumens
Unlike headlights with cords, the Lumina 550 can't shake loose from its battery while traversing rough roads. A quick-release mount holds the light securely in any riding condition, and it accommodates bars up to 31.8mm in diameter. It's the perfect light for either commuting or as a backup to a corded system.
The NiteRider Lumina 550 Light comes with a USB charger. Charging it from your laptop at work takes about 5.5 hours. The entire assembly weighs in around 126 grams.

Written by theMBIIIeffect
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Washington Redskins have acquired Donovan McNabb from the Philadelphia Eagles. The compensation from the Eagles will be a second-round pick (37th overall) and a future third-round or fourth-round pick based on McNabb's performance.
Either way, the Kevin Kolb era is underway in Philadelphia.
In this trade, the Redskins definitely upgrade their quarterback position. Their other quarterbacks-Jason Campbell and Rex Grossman-will likely battle for the backup spot or the Redskins will try to trade Campbell. Colt Brennan should start calling teams in the Arena Football League or in the Canadian Football League.
The Eagles think they'll be a better team with the relatively untested Kolb at the helm instead of their former No. 2 overall pick and six-time Pro Bowler, with his 2.16/1 TD-to-INT ratio.
By trading McNabb within the NFC East, the Eagles are basically telling McNabb, a Pro Bowler this past season for crying out loud, that not only will the Eagles be a better team without him, but they don't fear playing him twice a year.
Well, that's just wrong. McNabb won with the Eagles when he didn't have much talent all around him. What's to say he won't do the same thing with the Redskins?
This is a cold-blooded move from the Eagles. It has left sports commentators like Trey Wingo and athletes like Reggie Bush alike stunned.
You just don't trade within the same division unless you're absolutely positive that the player won't hurt you somewhere down the road.
If I were Jerry Jones, I wouldn't trade a virus to anyone within the NFC East.
So congratulations, Eagles. You're going to create McNabb sympathizers with this move, leading even more people to hate your franchise. You've tarnished your organization's image toward players-who else is going to want to play in Philly when the Eagles treat their players like this-even though it was already pretty bad in the first place. And for what? Two draft picks?
Congrats, Eagles. You've made me hate you so much, I'm going to be rooting for McNabb to beat you twice a year. I hope Kolb flames out and you have to rely on Michael Vick.

Hey, did you hear about that new Justin Bieber song where he says the "n-word?" Well, it isn't really him.
TMZ reports that an unknown person or persons created a fake YouTube account that looks very similar to Justin's real account, and then uploaded a song called "What She Wants (Official) 2013," purportedly by the Bieb. Except the song features a lyric where the singer, who sounds like Justin, is dropping the "n- word.
According to TMZ, Bieber's camp says he had nothing to do with the song, it's not him, and has called his record company's legal team to make the track disappear. The video has subsequently been taken down.
As for that song "Twerk" featuring Justin and Miley Cyrus that leaked last week -- that's actually real.

Who's Online:
Just how do you do that?
One moment they are all fighting and shouting and the next moment they are all sooooooo sweet and in love.
I like the way you can do this.
I especially liked that here it is not different stories, but all of them together. One moment for all and not more moments for all the different couples. It almost has a feeling of serenity ...
Author's Response: You know, I just couldn't think of a better time to combine all the characters, kind of like a send off. This chapter was a lot of fun to write, a home coming I guess you could say. The next part of Terr's journey will be a difficult one. She deserved this moment to bask in the magic of Ithilien and it's elvish residents. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
WHAT?! It was ANTIEN?? OMG OMG! Next chapter! NEXT CHAPTER!!!
Aside from my utter excitement, another wonderfully written chapter L8Bleumr. I'm glad Terrwyn and Feredir had the opportunity to get out and about in a proper fashion and that the lovely Feona got to meet Terrwyn. I do hope you'll write Feona's tale one day.
But as I said before NEXT CHAPTER!!! ~ Iri
Author's Response: I definitely will write for Feona when I'm through with this story. I've already got some ideas for her. It was good to get Antien back into the story too. Terr and Fer needed something like this. They are about to embark on another long journey to Rohan so this and the next chp. are kind of like a farewell to Ithilien. Another one posting soon.
For the love of all that's holy! You're killing me here! Ugh! What a great way to end this chapter!
I can tell you really enjoyed writing this last part where they were in the bar. Your prose just flows naturally and with something else... beauty? passion?...and descriptions leap off the page when you're really having a good time with something.
Setting the scene there was hilarious! I could just see Fer looking befaffled.
Great stuff! I could literally cut the tension with a knife here at the end!
Something tells me this story is totally going to snowball from here!
Author's Response: You pegged it. I really did enjoy writing this chapter and the next also. When I wrote this, I finally got a good visual for Feona and loved describing her. Everything just seemed to mix together easily, Fer and Terr, the newly painted bar, Orth and Feona, Antien. Can't wait to post the next as soon as it's ready.
Hello. This time I don't have much to say.
If two souls are bound by love, then who cares what is proper and what is not (at least in an elvish settlement)?
The second thing is, I knew Antien would come up again but I am not sure if he remembers Terrwyn without the butterfly link. She has changed after all while he has not.
Author's Response: Love knows what it wants. There's no arguing with it. Now you can see how long this story was pestering me, since Helm's Deep in Taming.
Finally all caught up. I'm glad to know there's still a wonderful adventure ahead and I thoroughly look forward to read more as soon as possible. Always a pleasure, L8Bleumr! ~ Iri
Author's Response: Wow! I can't believe you read so much so quickly and I'm very grateful for all of your wonderful reviews. It's good to have you along again.
I love the bantering and the teasing between these two. And I don't think I've made mention to the beautiful and inspiring relationship between Curuven and Limil - a true forever love.
Haha of course Rhav would wear a dress only to interrogate someone. That is so her. What a lovely way for the brothers to reconcile.
Author's Response: I'm all smiles. I'm glad you remember. Putting on the dress would definitely make her more of the 'bad cop'. Besides, she likes to watch 'em squirm.
It's nice to get a view of Feredir in action. You can certainly picture each swing as it happens. I hope the relationship between him and Orthorien improves from hereon in.. ~ Iri
Author's Response: Fer and Orth have a lot of resolving to do. I think by having these two work through their differences, it will allow Fer to grow and become more responsible. OK hopefully not too much though, lol.
This just keeps getting messier and messier. This is why people (and elves) should always be honest and open with each other!! You're capturing all this drama and emotion from two very different characters so wonderfully L8Bleumr. I can't seem to stop reading this! ~ Iri
Author's Response: I guess it is getting a bit messy, but things will get sorted eventually.
And the surprises just keep coming. It's what makes you a wonderful author, you keep the pace moving, there's never a dull moment. ~ Iri
Author's Response: Thanks again. Writing is a great outlet for an overactive imagination.
Oh my gosh it's taken me this long to realise this Glandur is Antien's Glandur!! Oh how silly of me! Wonderful L8Bleumr!
Author's Response: That's too funny. Yes, Glandur has a bigger part in this story than the last. Feredir must report to him. I'm enjoying Captain Glandur. I think he makes a good example for Fer and keeps him in line.
Look up the phrase 'Stubborn as a mule' and you'll be sure to find a picture of Terrwyn chopping all that wood!! I'm glad Feredir is finally showing a more likeable side. I hope it lasts!
Author's Response: LOL. I can't really blame her though. Feredir would have the last word and that make me nuts, but he needed to show her his softer side.
Oh my heart aches for Feona. She's got some kind of strength to encourage Feredir, despite her feelings for him. Beautifully written L8Bleumr ~ Iri
Author's Response: Feona is another side character that has really warmed my heart. I would really love to tell her story someday. I guess what she has with Fer is something of convenience. I would not say it is love, but definitely longing. I think shes been through a lot in her past too, which is why she can find it within herself to send Fer on his way. Dont worry for her though. She wont be alone for long. Shes very self-sufficient.
Wow...just wow. Did not see that coming. I nearly wish Terrwyn had got him where it hurts. A swift boot up the ass might do him some good!
Author's Response: I love it, lol. Fer could use a good kick I suppose.
Oh my gosh how frustrating is Feredir? I find myself getting annoyed with him as much as Terrwyn! All due to your excellent writing ability my friend! ~ Iri
Author's Response: LOL, they are pretty frustrating arent they? Both stubborn to no end. They are made for each other.
I'm afraid I'm starting to sound a bit like a broken record but the truth deserves to be told again and again: you are an extremely talented writer. You get all the emotions across so wonderfully I can feel what your characters feel. You have a gift. You should think about publishing, if you haven't already. And if you have I want to know what it is and where I can find it! :) ~ Iri
Author's Response: Well, thank you so much for the encouragement. Actually, I have given a lot of thought about writing my own story. I would really like to give it a try. I just have to come up with the right setting and do my research, but I think it might happen one day. This story is the closest Ive come to writing my own while still playing in Tolkiens world and Im having more fun than Ive ever had.
Oh poor Terrwyn. She's lucky to have been brought before Rhavaniel though.
Author's Response: I think Rhav was good for this. Shes had her own set up difficulties and can relate to what Terr might be going through. Rhav sees something in Terr as will other elves in this story. The fair folk are always good for seeing peoples worth, not just their mistakes.
I love how all your stories can intertwine with each other. I loved your story about Rhavaniel and I had a feeling that this might be the wife Legolas mentioned in the previous chapter!
Author's Response: It is so odd how new stories can branch off from old ones. And I think a lot of it has to do with readers interest in certain characters. It makes me want to tell their stories too. What can I say about Rhav? She wasnt ready to give up the spotlight yet and who am I to argue with her, lol?
Aw Terrwyn really doesn't have much luck does she? What a wonderful introduction for Legolas. I am still thoroughly enjoying this L8Bleumr, you have such an inspiring talent for story telling! ~ Iri
Author's Response: Thank you so much. Legolas always makes a good introduction doesnt he, no matter where when or why.
That kiss is the very definition of bittersweet. Wonderfully written! ~ Iri
Author's Response: I just couldnt let them part without at least one kiss and I wanted Taldred to be Terrs first. I knew hed make it special.

After years of claiming to be able to help make your waist line disappear, now Dr. Gautam Gupta himself has disappeared. In June, federal prosecutors charged him with health care and mail fraud. He's been on the run since then.
They claim Gupta submitted insurance and Medicaid claims for procedures that were either unnecessary or never performed. As a result, prosecutors say Gupta's business, The Nutrition Clinic, was paid nearly $25 million in patient claims over the last ten years. Before he disappeared, agents say the government had planned to meet with Gupta and his attorney to discuss potential charges.
Gupta's last known home address is in Rockford but agents did not find him there when they tried to arrest him. They believe he left the area and may have gone to California or he may have fled the country. Agents are conducting an international search for Gupta since he was born in India but is also a naturalized us citizen.
Here is a detailed description of what agents say Gupta looks like. He is described as an Asian male of Indian descent, 57 years old, 5' 5", 161 pounds, brown eyes and has black hair with some grey in it.
If you see him, call police.
If you have any information about this case, call the Chicago FBI Bureau at (312) 421-6700.

After a new release of Microsoft Office, Microsoft makes available a series of software updates designed to help improve the security, performance, and reliability of the applications. Keeping clients in your organization up-to-date with the latest updates for the Microsoft Office System is well worth the effort, and there are strategies you can use to make the patching process more efficient and consistent.
Note The Office Resource Kit has published new and improved information for updating client installations. This article contains both strategies and instructions for installing the latest patches on users' computers. For information about using Windows Server Update Services and Microsoft Update to deploy Office updates, see Using Windows Server Update Services and Microsoft Update.
Microsoft releases several types of software updates:
Software updates are released in two forms:
New deployment features in Office 2003 have simplified the process of choosing a patching strategy to two primary options:
- or -
Determining which method is best for your organization depends on several factors:
If you want the efficiency of distributing binary patches throughout your organization, deploy Office from a compressed CD image and take advantage of the local installation source, which Setup creates by default on users' computers. Once you deploy from an administrative image, the local installation source is no longer an option.
Recaching and reinstalling Office from an updated administrative image requires considerably more network bandwidth than distributing client updates to users, and distributing full-file updates usually requires more bandwidth than distributing smaller binary patches. A local installation source allows users to rely on more efficient binary patches.
Caching installation files on users' computer is not free. For example, Microsoft Office Professional Enterprise Edition 2003 requires approximately 290 megabytes (MB) of hard disk space in addition to the space required by a typical client installation of the product. If you support users who have very limited hard disk space, then the local installation source may not be an option for them.
If your organization maintains strong centralized control over software deployment — for example, if you use Microsoft Systems Management Server to help control software distribution — you can more reliably keep clients synchronized with an updated administrative installation point.
Note If you deploy Office from an administrative installation point and you never update the image, you can distribute client patches directly to users, provided that they have reliable access to the original unpatched source on the network. Once you patch an administrative image, however, you are committed to updating that image and recaching and reinstalling Office on users' computers in the future. To help ensure that the update process works correctly over time, settle on one method of updating Office clients.
When users install Office 2003 from the CD or a compressed CD image, Setup copies installation files to a hidden folder on the local computer. Windows Installer uses this local installation source both to install Office initially and to repair and update Office later on. You can confidently distribute binary client patches because users have the necessary access to the source on their own computers.
Microsoft recommends this update strategy in most cases, particularly if you:
Because the product version in the MSI file remains the same, clients never become out of sync with the source. Even during such operations as detect and repair or install on demand, computers updated with binary patches — including the binary versions of service packs — work correctly with the original source.
Because the original installation image remains at the same level, it can support clients with a variety of patches applied. You do not need to maintain different installation images for clients at different update levels.
Typically, binary patches are smaller than full-file patches, and when compared to updating from an administrative image, both types of client patches are easier to distribute to users.
With a local installation source always available, offline users can perform any operation that requires the source, including applying binary updates.
This update strategy has the following requirements:
To create a compressed CD image, you copy the contents of the Office 2003 CD (including all hidden folders) to a network share; you do not run Setup to create the installation image. After that, the process of customizing a compressed CD image is similar to the process of customizing an administrative installation point. Creation of the local installation source is enabled by default, and you do not need to set any additional local installation source options.
Note When you create the CD image, the Office 2003 cabinet (CAB) files remain in their compressed state. By contrast, when you create an administrative installation point, Setup extracts compressed CAB files from the Office 2003 CD. Once the files are extracted, Setup can no longer create a local installation source on users' computers; they must rely on the uncompressed administrative image as a source.
Unlike deploying from an administrative installation point — where the end-user license agreement (EULA) and Volume License Key are handled as part of the administrative Setup — you must accept the EULA and enter a valid Volume License Key before users can install Office from the compressed CD image. New functionality has been added to the Custom Installation Wizard to handle these settings by means of a transform (MST file) applied during the client installation. For more information, click Help on the Configure Local Installation Source page of the Custom Installation Wizard.
For more information about deploying from a compressed CD image, see Taking Advantage of a Local Installation Source.
The compressed CD image on the network represents the Office 2003 baseline for your organization, and it remains at the original release (RTM) level. Once you have established this baseline, you can deploy binary updates to individual computers as needed.
You can use a variety of methods to distribute the patches to users, such as the following:
Toolbox The OHotFix utility is packaged in a self-extracting executable file and is available on the Office Resource Kit Web site. You can find this downloadable file on the Office 2003 Resource Kit Downloads page.
When a new client computer installs Office from the compressed image, you must include all current patches to ensure that the user has all the latest updates. Although you can chain as many client patches as necessary to the core Office installation, Office 2003 patches are cumulative, so you only need to install the latest patches related to a particular application to get all the fixes included in earlier patches. The most recent Office 2003 service pack, for example, includes all previously released updates.
You chain client updates to the core Office 2003 installation by adding the appropriate files to the [ChainedInstall_n] sections of the Setup settings file (Setup.ini). You can either chain the EXE file for each individual patch, or you can chain the OHotFix utility to the Office installation and customize OHotFix to include as many patches as you need.
To use the OHotFix utility to chain client patches
For example:
For more information about OHotFix, see Installing Client Update Files with OHotFix on the Office XP Resource Kit Web site.
To use Windows Installer to chain client patches
You must create a separate [ChainedInstall_n] section for each patch.
file] /p /qb /lpiwaeo [path\name of log file]
Note that Microsoft Windows® correctly finds and starts Msiexec.exe even if the Windows folder is not in the same location on all computers in your organization.
For more information about chaining, see Deploying Office and Other Products Together.
Note If a user double-clicks a client update that is already installed on the computer, Windows Installer 2.0 reapplies the patch, even though no files are changed. If a user applies a client update by means of an Msiexec command line, however, the patch is not reapplied.
What about full-file client updates?
Full-file updates, like binary updates, can be applied directly to client computers. Because full-file updates completely replace all the files affected by the update, they may be the better choice in some scenarios. For example, if a user's local installation source is corrupted or deleted, and the user does not have access to a source on the network, you can send the full-file update. In most cases, users can apply the patch even if they do not have access to the source, and without putting themselves out of sync with the source.
For example, you might be deploying a patch released after Office 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) to users who have never updated to Service Pack 1. Because binary patches require the most recent baseline, these users cannot apply the binary version of the update. They can, however, apply the full-file version. Full-file patches support the two most recent baselines.
The methods you use to deploy the full-file and binary forms of client patches to users are the same: an e-mail message, logon script, Microsoft Systems Management Server, or other methods used by your organization. Users double-click the EXE file to apply the patch to their local computer. Note that applying a full-file patch to a client computer does not change the product version in the MSI file, as it does when applied to an administrative image. Users can apply full-file patches and binary patches interchangeably.
For organizations that deploy Office 2003 from an administrative installation point, patching the administrative image and reaching and reinstalling Office on clients is usually the most efficient patching strategy. Recaching and reinstalling replaces the previously cached MSI file on users' computers and overwrites any old files with the newer versions. New clients that install from the patched administrative image automatically get the updated version — you do not need to chain patches to the core installation.
When there is a delay between updating the administrative image and reinstalling Office on clients, however, client computers can become out of sync with the administrative image. Operations that rely on the source — such as install on demand or detect and repair — fail because the client does not recognize the updated administrative image, which has a new product version in the Office MSI file. Relying on this method of updating clients may require you to set up two administrative images: the patched image for updated clients and an unpatched baseline image for everyone else.
Microsoft recommends this updating strategy only if you:
You cannot use the Run from Network feature installation setting from a compressed source.
For more information about deploying Office from an administrative image, see Running Setup from an Installation Image.
You must install administrative updates (MSP files) from the command line. On the command line, you run Windows Installer with options to specify the path to the MSI file and the name and path of the MSP file.
The MSI file is the Windows Installer package file from your original administrative image. The MSP file is the Office administrative update file that contains information about the changes in the upgrade. The update instructs Windows Installer to add, update, or remove files in the administrative image.
Note Before you update an administrative installation point, make sure that no client computers are using the share. If a file on the share is in use during the upgrade process, a newer version of that file is not copied to the administrative installation point.
To apply an update to an Office administrative installation point
[path\name of EXE file] /c /t:[location for extracted MSP file]
Note Double-clicking the EXE file does not extract the MSP file; it applies the patch to the local computer. In order to patch an administrative image, you must first extract the MSP file.
You must have write access to the administrative installation point on the server and the appropriate privileges to carry out the task, including the Change privilege.
msiexec.exe /p [path\name of MSP file] /a [path\name
of MSI file] /qb /lv* [path\name of log file]
If an update contains multiple MSP files, you must run the command line separately for each MSP file that you apply to the administrative installation point. You cannot reference multiple MSP files on the same command line.
The following table describes the command-line options.
After you update your administrative installation point, you need to perform a recache and reinstallation on all client computers that use the administrative image as a source. Any new client installations from the administrative installation point automatically include the updated version of Office.
To update an existing client installation from an administrative installation point, users need only rerun Setup.exe on the administrative installation point. If the administrative image has been patched, Setup automatically triggers the recache and reinstallation of all Office 2003 applications and features. Unless Setup is set to run in quiet mode, users are prompted to update.
Alternatively, you can distribute the following command line to the clients:
setup.exe REINSTALL=[list of features
modified by the update] /qb
In this case, Setup.exe calls Windows Installer to perform the installation and automatically generates log files. You can run this command line by creating a logon script, distributing it as a batch file, deploying it by using SMS, or using other means according to your practice. The options for this command line are described in the following table.
Each update that Microsoft releases includes Knowledge Base documentation listing all the features affected by the update. You can minimize the time and network bandwidth needed to update users' computers by setting the REINSTALL property to reinstall only the features modified by the update. Note that the values for REINSTALL shown in the feature list are case sensitive.
Applying client updates between service packs
As an efficient alternative to recaching and reinstalling Office with every new release of a critical update or security update, you can distribute these interim updates directly to clients, even if they rely on an administrative image as a source. You must first have established all users on the most recent baseline of Office 2003.
For example, you may have updated your administrative image to Office 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and reinstalled Office throughout the organization. Shortly thereafter, Microsoft releases a security update in response to a new virus. You can download the patch and run the EXE file directly on client computers. In this scenario, you would not patch your administrative image — that would put clients out of sync with the patched source. You can continue with this strategy until the next service pack is released.
Note that you cannot use the same tactic to deploy service packs themselves. The client versions of service packs require a source at the original release level — such as an unpatched administrative image or a local installation source.
In a managed environment, Microsoft recommends that you block users' access to Office updates on Office Online. By setting a single registry subkey or policy, you can prevent users from downloading client patches on their own yet still allow them to take advantage of all the other resources on Office Online. For more information, see Blocking Users' Access to Office Update.
The strategies for applying updates to Microsoft Office Multilingual User Interface Packs are identical to those for updating the core Office installation. For more information, see Distributing Multilingual User Interface Pack Updates.
Transforms can only be applied when Office is initially installed. You cannot apply transforms when you patch Office. For more information about updating users' configurations after Office is installed, Updating Feature Installation States and Application Settings.

Goldman bankers shower Romney with cash, snub Obama
With the economy improving, Wall Street firms have money to support their preferred candidate.
By Dan Freed
Goldman Sachs (GS) donors to the 2012 presidential campaign overwhelmingly favored Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney over President Barack Obama in January, according to data from OpenSecrets.org the website of the Center for Responsive Politics.
Romney raised $25,250 from 15 donors at Goldman versus $1,500 from three donors for Obama, according to the nonprofit's website, which does not appear to have any data beyond Jan. 31.
While those totals would not include any funds Obama may have raised from Goldman employees during a $35,800-a-plate Wall Street fundraiser he held earlier this month, they nonetheless represent a big shift from the 2008 campaign, when Obama raised $1 million from employees of the investment bank.

Obama has gone back and forth between attacking Wall Street and backing away from tough rhetoric during his presidency, though memories of the whopping $550 million fine Goldman paid to settle Securities and Exchange Commission charges against the bank in 2010 are unlikely to have faded in the minds of Goldman employees. That case caused the bank to lose its bulletproof aura.
It also represented a blow to Goldman executives, who have long been proud of their participation in government and politics, something that had been a great asset to the institution but became a liability in the wake of the 2008 crisis as many people argued the government was essentially for sale to well-connected firms like Goldman.
Even beyond Goldman, however, Wall Street campaign donors, including employees of Citigroup (C) and Bank of America (BAC) overwhelmingly favored Romney in the fourth quarter.
Nonetheless, prominent Obama supporter and Evercore Partners (EVR) President and CEO Ralph Schlosstein told Bloomberg in an interview Wednesday that Wall Street antipathy to the President is "one of those things that probably gets exaggerated in both directions. It was never as bad as some people made it out to be who had an interest in making it look icy, and it's probably never going to be as warm as some of us might hope it would be."
Schlosstein said fundraising has gotten easier of late due to an improvement in the U.S. economy which means that "people are feeling better about the President."
I've added one more to my list of answers to questions of how things are better in the last 31/2 years: I know the list of successes for this President will never be long enough for the pin headed Republicans..... even when the Dow hit 14,000 and their 401Ks have spilled over with money!......it will still be about banning contraception and going to war with them. With Romney all he does is trash the other guy and when he has a proposal it's not specific enough to even be measured..Good luck with him!

Woodworker's Journal
The carving began when Jim was about 10 years old. "My dad carved a squirrel, and I was just fascinated by that," he said. "My response was to try to carve a boat." Jim doesn't know what happened to that boat (which he didn't complete), but he is a lifelong sailor, who grew up to hold a merchant marine master's license and hold a job as a charter boat captain.
He got into woodworking again "out of necessity by doing my own woodwork on the boat when I needed to repair it." From there, he started doing carvings on his boat tillers -- skulls, mermaids, etc.. People would see the carvings, and want some for themselves. "I had no shortage of work when I got done with my regular day job," Jim said.
When his mom got sick in the 1990s and he needed to go back home and take care of her, Jim found his dad's tools in the garage. He made his first chess set; friends and family saw it, and, "without even thinking about it, I had orders."
At first, he had a certain style of set he regularly made, and he did the road show circuit of church basements and so forth, sometimes even setting up shop in an open space on the side of the road. Sales were pretty good, but around 2003 or 2004, Jim said, some competitors began copying his design. His response was to change his design, making it harder to copy -- and leading to his current work, which includes custom ordered chess sets. All of them are hand carved.
"Most people use power carvers, but I'm a lot faster with hand tools than I would be with mechanical stuff," Jim said. His go-to tools include bench chisels, utility knives or, sometimes, surgical scalpels. "I like using hand tools. I like the way it looks, the old-fashioned way," he said. "It grabs people's attention and works for what I do."
While he frequently hears people tell him that his work seems tedious -- he does, after all, have to carve 16 pawns that look the same for each chess set -- Jim points out that his experience means "I can carve almost anything: any kind of animal, shape, anything."
Among the things he've carved are chess sets with the themes of the lost sea city of Atlantis (sea god Neptune was the king), the Great Train Robbery, and the War of 1812. He particularly enjoyed that last one, even though it took him a year and a half altogether to make it, since he needed to work in his time around his commissions (which generally take between six to eight weeks for completion).
Jim's wood choices are based not only on carving considerations, but on the desires of the chess community — most of whom want hardwoods, things like ebony or lignum vitae, Jim said. Currently, his work uses a lot of walnut, and a lot of pearwood -- which was used historically in chess sets up until around the 1850s, and, he said, "is a great wood to carve."
Jim does occasionally make things other than chess sets -- walking sticks, picture frames, and, currently, carving a few different whales and dolphins onto a downed tree. "I do this other stuff to take a break, but it's kind of crazy," he said: "I'm still carving."
Once, he said, a customer didn't pick up a chess set order, and, remembering the prompting of his mom, who had elbowed him and told him to "make 'em one!" when watching an episode of As The WorldTurns in which two characters were using a chess set, Jim sent the set off to the actor. It was later used as a prop on the show. His sets have also appeared on the current Charlie's Angels TV series, and as part of the Winchester brothers' belongings on the TV show Supernatural.
He's also been invited to display his work at the 2011 Southern Governors Conference, as one of four artists from the state of North Carolina, and as a vendor at a 2008 chess conference in Boca Raton, Florida, which also hosted the U.S. Senior Chess Open. Players such as Yuri Garanin attended, and "It was kind of fun to have those guys come over and talk to me in Russian with smiles on their faces and give me thumbs-up about my work," Jim said.
Most of his customers, however, are "everyday people." The purchase might be a Christmas present for the family, a birthday present, or a graduation gift. "It's always about family," Jim said, "and it is for me, too. As a kid, my dad took the time to teach me and my brothers and sister how to play. It's kind of fun to think maybe I've got something to do with creating those kinds of moments for other people.
"It's kind of like woodworking: it's a generational thing, with people from one generation to the next. I'm glad to be a part of that."
