I'm happy to stand corrected, but I don't think I've ever seen a press release like the one below coming from the House speaker's office – whether Republican or Democrat.
Consider it an astute and worthy move, by a chamber trying to rehabilitate its image:
House Speaker David Ralston (R-Blue Ridge) today announced a fundraiser, House Helping Haiti, to benefit the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. The event will take place on Thursday, February 11th from 5:30-7:00PM at the Georgia Railroad Freight Depot.
"The people of Haiti have experienced unbelievable loss and destruction since the earthquake on January 12th," said Speaker David Ralston. "I believe that we are in the position to help this nation get back on its feet. That is why House Republicans and Democrats are joining together in a bi-partisan effort to host a fundraiser to bring much needed funds to Haiti to help provide people with food, water, and other supplies."
Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush have joined forces to lead a major relief effort to benefit Haiti.
"We appreciate the opportunity to join in the effort to help our neighbors in Haiti," said Rep. Dubose Porter. "When tragedy hits we need to pull together as one people to help those in need with our thoughts and prayers."

Gag me, pluzeese!! Most of these clowns have no idea where Haiti is but they don't want to miss an opportunity to bandwagon if it helps their image..

Who will attend this gala? Our elected reps and the lobbyists?

Ah, I totally messed that up then! Oops.
Ok, you need to add the ADServer value back in again i'm afraid - my testing version I had removed it, but this one has some of the older code still in use.
So, add a section like
And try again.Code:
<setting name="ADServer" serializeAs="String"> <value>dc01</value>
An updated version for anyone interested. I've finally got the 'Force password change on login' to work reliably. Turns out that Active Directory can and does ignore changes done in the way I was doing them for this one property, they instead went a different (read 'non standard') way with their own property instead of the normal ldap way of doing things.

I thought the Thanksgiving episode was real funny. I love it when they make fun of those reenactment places. Also Bessie and Porshia team ups are always hillarous.
I forgot to catch the new episodes, but they're already on TurboNick:
"To Bee or Not to Bee" - http://www.nick.com/turbonick/?extvideoid=111644
"Thanksgiving Beenactment" - http://www.nick.com/turbonick/?extvideoid=111535 - doesn't seem to work, goes to another episode about Bessie and Penny in a ping-pong tournament called "Eye of The Honeybee"
"Ten Little Honeybees/Toot Toot" - http://www.nick.com/turbonick/?extvideoid=108605
EDIT: So yes, TurboNick is having some problems... it seems they have these a lot. I have to wonder - why? Are people not checking to make sure the links go to the right place? At least they resolve themselves eventually.

Working And Winning Together
by Daniel Gergely on Apr 19, 6:48 AM
5:30 p.m. on a Tuesday. Most people are counting down the minutes to go home. For new-biz execs like me, it's more like the middle of the day. I sit in the new-biz war room at Grey advertising during one of the biggest pitches of the year. I'm joined by a crew that only a couple years prior would have been atypical. In a room adorned with photographs of advertising legends like Larry Valenstein and Arthur Fatt are executives whose backgrounds and ethnicities are very different than the legends that came before them.

Are Multi-Brand Programs An Effective Way To Engage Hispanics Digitally?
by Jose Villa on Apr 5, 1:18 PM
Did you hear about Nestle's recent launch of Construye el Mejor Nido ("Create the Best Nest"), a new communications platform to reach the U.S. Hispanic market? Maybe you've seen or visited Unilever's Vive Mejor (Live Better) program, a similar cross-platform effort to engage Hispanics around various Unilever brands. If you haven't noticed, there has been a growing trend over the last five years among consumer goods companies to launch Hispanic multi-brand programs.

The Denver Nuggets faced old friend Carmelo Anthony tonight in New York and Carmelo proved to be too much as Denver's bid to be the first team to deliver the Knicks with their first home loss of the 2012-13 season ended in another disappointment.
It has been a while since I wrote up an old school game recap so tonight is as good a time as any, although I am not planning on staying up until 4:00 AM to bang out 3,000 words as I used to when I was a younger man.
The Nuggets started off the game in strong fashion attacking the rim and running the elderly Knicks early and often resulting in an early 15-8 lead. At that point the Knicks started pounding the Nuggets with the high pick and roll and Denver's inability to deal with this most basic of plays proved to be the number one reason they lost their lead.
There are many different ways to combat the high pick and roll, the Nuggets chose to incorporate a mishmash of incompatible tactics as they had the guard fight over top of the screen while the big sagged back in the lane. By doing this, you ensure the guard is trailing the ball handler while the big has to choose between the ball handler and the roll man. In that scenario the big man is stuck in no man's land unable to commit to the ball handler, who is several feet away when he drives off the screen, or to the roll man because if he does that, the ball handler can drive to the rim. As a result Koufos and McGee were more often than not guarding no one, nor were they effectively defending the rim.
To make things worse, if a shot is missed, the middle of your defense is completely susceptible to offensive rebounds.
If the guard is supposed to fight over the top, the big has to hedge to slow the dribbler down. If the big is not going to show in an attempt to protect the lane, the guard should go underneath the screen. Of course this opens up the potential for the offensive guard to take an uncontested jumper.
The sad thing is we have seen over the years that by far the most effective way to cover the pick and roll is to have the big hedge hard on the ball handler while the guard recovers and as a result the ball handler must retreat or pick up his dribble. For some reason George Karl prefers soft pick and roll defenses as well as lazy switching.
Despite the Knicks' offensive onslaught over the final 18 minutes of the first half, Denver was able to stay close thanks to the exceptional play of Ty Lawson and smart movement by Corey Brewer. Lawson continued to push the pace all half earning several easy buckets and he also made two threes for good measure. Brewer did a very good job of finding the gaps in the lane which was proven effective thanks to some nice interior passing that earned him close looks that he converted on.
As the second half began I was looking forward to seeing what changes the Nuggets made to combat the high pick and roll. The threat of the high pick and roll caused the Nuggets defenders to leave their man to help guard the rim and as a result one of the keys to the second half was the Knicks seven three pointers.
In the fourth quarter with Faried playing center, the Nuggets began to switch the high pick and roll, which only resulted in Jason Kidd repeatedly driving past Faried to the rim. I guess we should be happy that there was at least a change made, even if it was just as ineffective as the first half fight over and sag (I sure hope that catches on as it looks as bad as it sounds) style was.
The Nuggets displayed a glimmer of hope that they could pull this game out posting an 18-5 run over the closing minutes of the third quarter and early in the fourth. However, the Knicks deserve almost as much credit as Denver though as they became far too isolation heavy on offense completely foregoing the high pick and roll. New York was able to right the ship early in the fourth quarter as Denver suddenly went cold with Gallo, who supplied 14 of Denver's 26 third quarter points on the bench.
Down the stretch Carmelo did what he does. The Knicks turned the game completely over to him in the final two minutes and he scored just enough to put the game out of reach.
Ultimately, the difference in the game was three point shooting and turnovers. The Knicks converted 40% of their threes compared to Denver's 29.4% while the Nuggets coughed the ball up 16 times to New York's nine.
Game 21 Notes
Game 21 Stats
Pace Factor: 97.0 – It was a fast paced game that was fun to watch. Denver did a lot of their damage on the break compiling 25 fast break points over the aged lineup of the Knicks.
Defensive Efficiency: 114.0 – Unacceptable, fifth worst mark of the season.
Offensive Efficiency: 110.7 – Adequate, they did not lose this game because of their offense.

A New Year a New Life !! If you would consider a lifechange wich guidelines will you follow?
People want to change work, house, countrys but we fear the unknown and to not regret the decitions made.
We feel like running in circles exausting our creativity, emotions, energy, motivation, we often feel we are ready for a radical change in our lifestyle.
A change for better..what would help us make the right choices?
Do you have a successful history of your radical lifechange? Please share it with the community
Dec 23 2011: Open ideas that promote ideals, then expand on one of those ideas, and finally, make a model of that idea.
Ideal to idea to model.
Everything to anything to something.
My goal for the new year is to write a poem every month. We should share our ideas for the New Year as a community, embrace them for group support, and make them into reality.
Dec 26 2011: Zared I put my heart into everything I do.
I designed this page www.kokocontreras.com each single element has a meaning ..I belive in romanticism life is beautiful.
Dec 25 2011: There are two major things you need when considering a life change: Truth and courage.
You must first be truthfull with yourself, map out only points you really truthfully consider to be manageable. There is no point in thinking of change if you yourself feel you are incapable of achieveing it. Then you need courage, the courage to push on through, especially on those hard days where things dont seem like they're in your favour and when others around you say that it's impossible. Should you keep these two things always in mind and never leave the mapped out path you've chosen you should achieve it.
Dec 23 2011: Positive words, positive acts, positive anything, positive everything. That always works. Truth works. The more you express truth, the more powerful and happy you become at whatever you do. Experimenting with one's behavior is useful. Re-programming ourselves in accordance with our own positive values works. "Where there is a will, there is a way."
Dec 26 2011: Zared, I wonder how you know what you allege. I have heard all the yin-yang arguments that you seem to be making. I do not understand how "only love" and "everything positive" and "joy" can be other than wonderful for everyone who experiences that. Maybe it is possible to feel good all the time by consistently living in truth, love and joy.
Dec 26 2011: It sounds ideal to live in forever joy, but you cannot denied that you would not value it if you did not felt misery. Also, no matter what setting you are, it is impossible to escape from either emotion, which, in the end, if you are trying to avoid either emotion, it will cause great stress to yourself. The truth part you can accomplish, it would just be hard to do due to human nature. I mean it is hard due to the subtle lies we tell and our natural mental defense mechanisms, but you can still accomplish being only truthful.
Dec 23 2011: My goal for next year is to go way bayond my comfort zone, try as many new things as I can, break the limits of my mind. This goal will also let me focus on developing positive attitude toward life challanges which is: dont be afraid to fail and dont listen to no-sayers. This goal is very complex for me but I'm really excited about it. I connect this with my little dream about choaching people and spreading great ideas :)
Dec 23 2011: I think for next year, I want to get better at breaking goals into smaller pieces. I always seem to have a goal in mind but often forget to realize the steps to get there. I also want to be less afraid of facing the unknown--not only through preparing myself for what may happen but also accepting what cannot be changed.
Dec 23 2011: I believe there is no happiness to be gained by changing things in life. Maybe you feel better slightly but in the long run it all boils down to the same thing. Just accepting the reality and staying happy with it is much better then listing down all the things that can be changed in the past because no one can actually ever change them.
Dec 23 2011: Well i have changed country thrice, but only once for improvement and it turned out not so rosy in the short run atleast. I have changed a relationship for improvement but again it didnt do much good. havent changed work till now. Moral: these material changes do not significantly cause happiness in short run, in the long run they dont matter at all
Comment deleted
Dec 23 2011: how many times have you change countrys, work, relationships, in order to improve.. please dont feel questioned ..just would like to hear more of your final conclutions based on experiences..
reality? a poor boy´s reality can be the triger for a lifechange into a rich future...dont you agree?
Dec 23 2011: I was a primary school teacher, but now i am an officer worker.
In my opinion, in the process, i should do summary continuously, challenge myself and develop my abilities as soon as possible.
My experience makes me know that in the face of difficulties, should dare to challenge myself, to better myself.
And i am planning to take a trip to China next year.
Dec 22 2011: Embrace minimalism and you will discover a new way of seeing things and living your life:
I haven't myself fully embraced it but I am taking little steps toward that ideal =)

I am a graduate student from University of Science and Technology of China.
My previous projects and research focus on accelerating high-speed network
processing(10Gbps) with multicore/manycore architecture. My previous
projects include building a high-performance HTTP parser, a TCP lookup
algorithm, and a RTSP reverse proxy. Therefore, I think I am experienced in
this field, and I'd like to learn new staffs in the project.
I am very interested in the Packet Editor (CLI). The reason is that about
one year ago, I have to synthesis a trace with one million concurrent
sessions for the experiment of a project. Of course I used editcap that
time, but I felt editcap should have more powerful functions for more
useful situations. And since I will use editcap more frequently in the
future, it will be good to improve edicap right now, and make it more
useful for everyone :-)
I have concluded some useful features I would like editcap to have in the
future, which are listed as followings:
1) Replace the address/port with specific range or random address/port.
This is useful when one tries to hide the real ip addresses, or replace
with new ones. [just as said in the idea page]
2) Split trace file by "connection" or "session". This is useful when one
wants to split a trace file in multiple ones while still maintaining the
integrity of each connection.
3) Get packets from a specific address/ a specific range of addresses from
a trace file. This helps better investigate a specific connection when
there existing huge amounts of them.
4) Add/delete a specific field, i.e. "Cache-Control: no-cache" in HTTP
Header in all relevant packets, so we can synthesis new traces with
existing ones.
5) Removing or overwriting sensitive data
And one question, the idea page write this, but I am not quite sure about
what is regarded as sensitive data? what exact functions do I have to
implement for this feature?
Thanks for your comments and suggestions for my ideas. And what other
features will you mentors suggest me to implement in this project? Thanks.

Number of places: 120 FT
Pro: has the only FRU outside of London Con: competitive entry
Official website
Nottingham is a consistently popular choice for aspiring barristers. A top-notch Bar course and city centre location make this a highly sought-after destination for students across the country and a steadily increasing number of internationals. As such, Nottingham can afford to be selective, and prospective candidates must show potential for a career at the Bar. This means most successful applicants will hold a 2:1 up their sleeve, while those with a 2:2 will need to show off additional evidence of achievement through awards or work experience. All applicants are expected to demonstrate commitment to the profession and an aptitude for advocacy, while it's also advisable to put Nottingham as your first-choice provider. Five scholarships worth £2,000 are on offer, as is a loyalty discount for former Notts undergrads.
The course consists of seven realistic briefs (three civil and four criminal) that students take on from start to finish to see how a case may progress in practice. These are supplemented by additional lectures and small group sessions, while knowledge and skills areas – which amount to roughly 60% of the BPTC – are taught and learned as the case studies progress. Teaching is conducted over four days each week, and there are no more 12 students in classes for written skills and no more than six students in advocacy classes. There are seven elective modules on offer: advanced crime, advanced civil, commercial, family, employment, immigration, and landlord and tenant.
To give students a better flavour for a career at the Bar, they are expected to wear suits and dress smartly when participating in advocacy or conferencing sessions to replicate real-life situations. All students have a one-to-one feedback session with a tutor prior to each skills assessment, which, wherever possible, are set in a practical context. For example, actors are utilised to provide a realistic experience of examinations and the questioning and advising of clients. Students can also anticipate performing a chambers application before a district judge, who will interject with questions. Nottingham's BPTC is written by former practitioners in conjunction with judges, practising barristers and senior academics. Practitioners and judges assist with the delivery of the course as guest speakers and in practitioner workshops.
The law school was redeveloped in 2011, and students have access to mock courtrooms, moot rooms and top-of-the-range teaching facilities. Nottingham Trent University itself is currently undergoing a major expansion programme that will see brand-new student accommodation and a new student union built. All starters from September 2013 will be provided with an iPad as part of their teaching package. All course materials can be downloaded onto it, and students are allowed to keep it once the course is completed.
A dedicated careers and recruitment service is on hand to offer support and guidance during the search for a pupillage. A pupillage interview training day is organised before the course begins and subsequent trial interviews can also be sought throughout the year. Local chambers offer their support to the course by giving a number of presentations relevant to a life at the Bar, offering opportunities for mini-pupillages or by giving advice on CVs. Further to this, there are increasing opportunities for students to marshal a judge.
If you would like to dip your toe into the pro bono water then Nottingham houses the only Free Representation Unit (FRU) outside of London, and also runs an Innocence Project. To really show off some skills, there are two set-sponsored mooting competitions – one civil, one criminal – that students can participate in, and if after taking advantage of all these opportunities your CV is still looking a little sparse, then an LLM in Legal Practice can also be pursued.

What are public services worth, and to whom? Non-parametric estimation of capitalization in Pune
AbstractThe availability and quality of basic public services are important determinants of urban quality of life. In many cities, rapid population growth and fiscal constraints are limiting the extent to which urban governments can keep up with increasing demand for these services. It therefore becomes important to prioritize provision of those services to best reflect local demand. We present a strategy to estimate the demand for public services, which is sensitive to heterogeneity in preferences across types of households, and the non-parametric estimation addresses problems arising from functional form restrictions. Using data from Pune, India, we estimate the demand for public services, as represented by the marginal change in the self-assessed monthly rental price of dwellings from the services. We find that the value of publicly-provided services accruing to the poor is greater than that going to wealthier households, and even untargeted across-the-board investment in specific services can be progressive.

If you're a country music fan, the name Rayna Jaymes may not ring a bell. That's because Rayna Jaymes is a factionalcharacter played by actress Connie Britton. Britton stars in the new TV series Nashville, which premieres this Wednesday on ABC.
TV fans will know Britton for her Emmy-nominated roles as Tami Taylor on Friday Nights Lights and American Horror Story. For her latest role in Nashville, Britton is belting her heart out as a veteran country singer whose career is being threatened by a new rising star played by Hayden Panettiere.
Interview Highlights
On what it's like to have to sing in character — especially when that character is supposed to be the reigning queen of country music
"It's been just such an incredible experience, hugely challenging, but that's kinda why I wanted to do this role. There are many days that I think to myself: What was I thinking? I must have lost my mind. I've always been musical – I've done regional musical theater. The thing about country music, is it is about story telling. that's my favorite part of being an actor and I thought as an actor, I could tap into that aspect of it."
On playing a woman fighting to save her career in a fickle industry
"What originally attracted me to the role is the comparison of the two different musicians coming from two very different places, and two different world views in terms of their approach to music, their approach to their careers and they're in two different places in their lives. The music business has changed so dramatically in recent years, and I think our show has a great opportunity to give our audience some insight into what that really looks like, what it looks like from the backstage."
On the difference between Rayna Jaymes' Tennessee accent and Tami Taylor's Texas accent
"The difference is really subtle. What I find in Nashville, in particular, is that there are really strong variations in the accent. There are people who have lived in Nashville their whole life who have very little accent. And then, there can be very strong Tennessee accents. I think with Rayna, because she is this polished performer, but she also come from there, I've sorta made a choice that she almost goes in an out of an accent a little bit because she comes from a world where the accents aren't quite as strong. But then she's also in the country music world, and she comes from a country tradition. I grew up in Virginia; I grew up in the South. I also sometimes have no accent but then if I'm around those people, I slide right back into it."
On speaking Chinese
"I always wanted to be an actor. But when I went to college, I had to fulfill a language requirement and so I thought it would be really cool to do it speaking Chinese. My Chinese these days is real, real shaky. Let's put it this way: These days, my singing is better than my Chinese."
