NIAMEY, Niger (May 21, 2013)--The United Nations refugee agency said it's working to contain a cholera outbreak in Niger in a refugee camp for people who've fled the conflict in Mali.
Melissa Fleming, the chief spokeswoman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, said in a statement on Tuesday that seven people have died from cholera in recent weeks, including two refugees who died in the Mangaize camp, which houses 15,000 refugees in the Tillaberi region of Niger, close to the Malian border.
On May 11, the government of Niger declared a cholera epidemic. Last year, a total of 110 people died throughout Niger.
This year's epidemic could be worse because of the concentration of refugees.
Niger is currently housing some 50,000 Malian refugees, said the statement.

In her most exuberant, most fanciful novel, Woolf has created a character liberated from the restraints of time and sex. Born in the Elizabethan Age to wealth and position, Orlando is a young nobleman at the beginning of the story-and a modern woman three centuries later. A poetic masterpiece of the first rank (Rebecca West). The source of a critically acclaimed 1993 feature film directed by Sally Potter. Index; illustrations.
About the Author
Virginia Woolf was an influential English author best known for her involvement with the Bloomsbury Group, an association of intellectuals and artists including, John Maynard Keynes and E. M. Forster, who are credited with influencing early twentieth-century literature, criticism, and economics. Woolf became a prolific writer in between the two World Wars, and some of her most famous works, including Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse, are now among the most prominent English books of the modern period. A life-long sufferer of depression, Woolf was institutionalized numerous times before taking her own life in 1941.

Welfare as Japan Knows It: A Family Affair
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: September 10, 1996
TOKYO, Sept. 9— Genially welcoming a visitor into his ''home,'' the piece of cardboard on which he sleeps in the Shinjuku train station here, Katsuo Kawagoe drew deeply on a cigarette and recalled the times he had applied for public assistance from the Government.
''They just said, 'What do you want?' '' he remembered. ''They were not helpful. The only way you can get aid is if you're over 65 or if you're really sick and taken to the hospital.''
''When I turn 65, I'll apply for welfare,'' Mr. Kawagoe, who is 53, added between racking, tubercular coughs. ''But until then I've got no chance if I'm healthy.''
Japan has a welfare system that in some ways makes even the new, dismantled American system seem a model of generosity. Applicants in Japan are obliged to get help first from their families, and a poor person physically able to work is not eligible for help -- whether or not the person actually has a job.
From some perspectives, this system has worked brilliantly. The country's already strong family ties have been strengthened, and the main safety net is the family rather than the Government. The number of Japanese in the basic welfare program has declined sharply over the last half century, as people became better off and built up savings.
Today only 0.7 percent of the population receives benefits -- compared with the 4.8 percent of Americans who get grants from Aid to Families With Dependent Children or the 9.7 percent who receive food stamps. About 2.3 percent of Americans receive grants through the Supplemental Security Income program, which serves the elderly, blind and disabled.
To be sure, Japan's welfare system operates in a very different milieu from America's. Only 1 percent of Japanese births are to unwed mothers. That compares with a percentage that keeps climbing in the United States and has now reached 30 percent.
Japan also has a far lower percentage of drug addicts than the United States has, a much lower unemployment rate, a much more egalitarian distribution of wealth, a greater sense of family obligation and an abiding sense of shame that colors almost every aspect of life.
Scholars say that the system in Japan almost never breeds dependence, and they suggest that the Japanese approach has emphasized the work ethic and the importance of family ties.
Caseworkers rigorously check applicants and drop by their homes regularly to make sure that they do not have banned luxuries like cars or air conditioners, and fraud seems extremely rare.
For all these reasons, the welfare system seems to have broad public support in Japan. In fact, instead of grumbling about welfare mothers in Cadillacs, people sometimes carp about how the authorities are too harsh to the poor.
''This system is financed by the taxpayers, so it's natural that we should be rigorous,'' said Tokuyuki Kase, an official in the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Tokyo. ''Our standards are very strict.''
Yet if the absence of a broad public safety net focuses people's minds on the need to stay on the tightrope, it is also clear that when some people inevitably do slip, there is often nothing to save them.
Last April, a 77-year-old woman and her disabled son starved to death in their Tokyo apartment. The local authorities apparently knew that the family was having trouble getting food, although it does not seem that they formally applied for welfare. After the bodies were found, the authorities discovered a diary kept by the woman, whose last entry read: ''Every day is a struggle, and I want to die soon.''
In another case, a 79-year-old widow was threatened with loss of welfare benefits unless she got rid of her air conditioner. She did, then collapsed in her apartment during the next heat wave and had to be taken to the hospital, where she spent six weeks recovering.
''This is a very cold society,'' said Yoshifumi Osaka, a homeless man who said he had forgotten his exact age but thought he was almost 80. Mr. Osaka ran away from his wife and children a year and a half ago, he said, ''because they picked on me,'' and ever since has lived in a cardboard cocoon he built in Shinjuku station.
Like many homeless people, he says he has not applied for welfare benefits because he would never get them.
Japan does have two elements of a social welfare program that far surpass anything in the United States: universal medical care and comprehensive day care.
Everyone has access to doctors and hospitals at affordable prices, with the services free for the poor. And neighborhood nurseries throughout Japan provide excellent care for children from six months old to school age, if mothers work, for a modest fee that is waived for low-income families.
But while the United States offers a network of public assistance programs, Japan has no food stamps and relies principally on a single program of cash grants. Anybody who is poor is eligible, but only if the person has no family or assets and is unable to work.
''We go to financial institutions and check for savings accounts or other money,'' said Kanji Tanaka, a welfare caseworker in Kawasaki, a city just south of Tokyo, ''and we look up the family registrations to check if there are relatives, and then we contact them.''
Mr. Tanaka also visits the applicant's home to insure that it is not too lavish and that it does not have anything regarded as a luxury.

Coriolanus Comics by Homemade-HappinessWatch
©2012-2016 Homemade-Happiness
Yeah, so these are pretty much only funny if you've read Shakespeare's Coriolanus. They're for my final in my Shakespeare class. Inspired by Kate Beaton's Hark! A Vagrant which is really awesome and you should check it out some time: [link] Not many webcomics make you feel super smart nowadays.
Lol. So true.
XD I died reading this.
This comic made a lot more sense to me after I actually saw Coriolanus.
Perfection. This comic, welcome.
So much win. And now Coriolanus and Aufidius are inextricably linked in my mind with Beaton's Pirate/Navy Nemesis characters.
I'm dying here. It's so accurate. So wonderfully accurate.
I laughed so SO SO SO HARD at this, oh my god. Brilliant, JUST BRILLIANT.
Out of curiosity, have you seen the film adaptation directed by and starring Ralph Fiennes (aka Voldemort and Amon Goeth)?
This is brilliant! I've been obsessing over this play since my class last semester. Thanks for the laughs!
This is glorious
I have yet to read this, but I adore it, . Very well done!
Oh thanks! I'm glad you could enjoy the comic without knowing the play, that's good news!
Lol, well I've read about half of 'em, so I know the general idea of Shakespeare's plays, lol...
You are a very beautiful person for doing this. God bless you.

Kitesurfing Holidays In South Africa
South Africa is one of the world best kitesurf locations from the months of November through to April, the South African summer. During this time you will be met with a lovely 28-32 C and around 90% wind reliability ! This is a perfect climate. South Africa is on a very similar time zone to the UK and Europe, and with direct 12 hour overnight flights from London (as well as other major European airports), this is a very easy destination to access, even for just a weeks windsurf holiday.
Apart from the amazing kitesurfing conditions, world class food and charming accommodations, South Africa is amazing value for money for UK travellers at the moment with a very strong UK £ against the SA Rand. There are few places around the world that offer such a complete kitesurf holiday, at such amazing prices.
Outside of the stunning beaches and windsurf conditions South Africa offers a huge amount to see and experience. Its extremes include the arid semi desert of the Karoo, the snow-capped peaks of the Drakensberg Range, the lush subtropical coast of KwaZulu-Natal and the fertile temperate valleys of Western Cape. Planet Kitesurf are South Africa specialist and we have a huge amount of experience and expertise in this area. We would highly recommend speaking with us about combining a kitesurf holiday with some of what this fascinating country has to offer.

The Climate And Wind In South Africa
South Africa has been favored by nature with one of the most temperate climates on the African continent, and can be visited comfortably any time for general tourism. Winter (June to September) is cooler and drier, and ideal for hiking and outdoor pursuits. Because vegetation is less dense, and thirsty animals congregate around water sources, winter is also the best time for wildlife-watching.
Summer (late November to March) brings the wind, and lots of it ! The wind tends to fill in mid / late morning and then again ealry afternoon. It is quite rare to get many days without at least 4bft but mostly up around 30-35 knots in the afternoons. South Africa is one of the most wind reliable locations at this time of year around the Southern Cape. During the period air tempreture hovers around 28 - 30c, just perfect!

In this paper, we consider downward and upward vertical handovers in integrated wireless LAN and cellular networks and address wireless-profiled Transmission Control Protocol premature timeouts due to step increase of round-trip time (RTT) and false fast retransmit due to packet reordering. Specifically, we develop a mobile-receiver centric loosely coupled cross-layer design, which is easy to implement and deploy, backward compatible with the Wireless Application Protocol version 2 architecture, and robust in the absence of perfect cross-layer information. We propose two proactive schemes, called RTT Inflation and RTT Equalization. The RTT Inflation scheme suppresses premature timeouts by carefully inflating retransmission timeout time, and the RTT Equalization scheme prevents false fast retransmit by equalizing the round-trip delay experienced by all packets. We conduct extensive simulations to evaluate the performance in downward and upward vertical handovers. It is demonstrated that the proposed schemes significantly improve the performance in a wide range of network conditions.

Samsung Classy Black Fridge
By bears54chitown
from Stockton, CA, USA
I wanted to purchase a fridge that had all the fancy features, had enough space inside the appliance to fulfill the daily and weekly grind for a family of five, and of course it had to give the sleek look of a new modern appliance. That's why I chose the black Samsung , side-by-side ice making fridge. It took me a long time before I made the final decision when I was researching which one to choose. This one came up on top of the list. The only downfall after a few months is that the ice crusher seems to spit out the ice all over, shooting out beyond the glass, at times. Another small thing that I would mention is that you do hear some strange noises coming out from the big fridge. We just moved in into our new house, but we love it, the best fridge we've ever had, and would recommend it for the right price. Adam O.A.
Lovin' my new fridge!

I've used many Samsung products, this one falls right in line with all of those. Reliable, durable and functions as expected. Looks great in my kitchen and was a breeze to set up and get comfortable with. I love having ice and water at my beck and call. I for one am very happy to have such a nice product! Thanks Samsung..

Not family friendly
By Thefixer
from Hampton, VA, USA
The lighting is very poor. In the store it looks great but as soon as you add food containers the lighting from the back of the refrigerator and freezer are blocked .. Very poor design. The indicators where you select water, ice, fridge and lighting is so faded into the dark glass that you have some difficulty reading. I made a mistake, maybe these are things others should consider before buying. I have numerous Samsung product, all of which are great except for this refrigerator.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love quickness in which it cooled off and how quite it is. The black color is perfect with my decor.
Great looking fridge!
By good2know
from Buford, GA, USA
We purchased the white version of this fridge to match our existing appliances. The compressor is very quiet. However, the ice maker is heard when dropping ice and when the water line refills the ice tray. Many people have complained about this noise in other reviews of this model. The sound only last about 5 seconds and is no louder than our previous Whirlpool side-by-side model made when going through the same processes. The LED lighting is nice. It is very bright when there is no food in the fridge (i.e., when viewing the floor model at the appliance store). The LED lighting gives the fridge a modern look on the inside. The overall lighting in the refrigerator and freezer compartments diminishes as you add more food on the shelving. This is because all of the lighting is on the back wall and tends to get blocked as you fill the refrigerator and freezer with food. It would be nice if there was lighting for the bottom halves of both the refrigerator side and the freezer side. This would make it easier to see inside the bottom drawers. The issue with the lighting is not a deal breaker. I would still purchase this model again. We have a family of 5 and there is plenty of room for our groceries! The shelves are adjustable as are the door shelves on the refrigerator side door. There is a gallon sized shelve on the door as well. The other shelves on the door will not hold a gallon sized container. We like the electronic controls on the freezer door panel. There are settings for light, crushed ice, cubed ice and water. The refrigerator also has an alarm that sounds (a chime sound) when the door remains open too long (helpful if you have little ones who may not close the door). The temperature of the freezer and the refrigerator displays each time you open a door or get water/ice. This is a nice feature and it reassures you of the current temperature in both compartments. The ice dispenses slowly (1-2 cubes at a time) but it still does the job. Water dispenses quickly. We have had no problems with the water dispenser "dripping" as many people have mentioned in other reviews. I made a point to follow directions and run water through the new filter when setting up the fridge. We love our fridge so far! It looks great in our kitchen and keeps accurate and even food temperatures on both the freezer and refrigerator sides. I would recommend this model to anyone looking for an affordable, functional and modern looking refrigerator.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Steve Helber, Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. — There is probably no other road like it in America.
North Carolina Highway 12, a thin strip of asphalt on top of sand, bends into the Atlantic Ocean, connecting most of the Outer Banks with the mainland. It floods easily and washes away during hurricanes, leaving some to question whether it is worth pouring millions of dollars of repairs into such a vulnerable road. Some have suggested building a long bridge instead.
Irene took several big bites out of the highway, including one chunk that was nearly 160-feet long.
"It's a love-hate relationship, really," Kurt Kessler, who lives on Hatteras Island, said on a Facebook chat because he didn't have either cell phone or landline service after Irene hit almost a week ago. "12 is our main artery and we want to protect it. But again, we hate that we rely so heavily on it. This is one of those times you hate the fragile nature of Highway 12, but what are you going to do, you know? It comes with the territory."
Without Highway 12, the only way to get to Hatteras and most of the other nearby barrier islands would be by boat. The island is still not open to tourists, though the governor has said transportation officials would come up with a short-term solution for access by next week. The 140 mile-long road winds its way past unspoiled seashore as well as through villages packed with surf shops and hotels, and the black-and-white striped Hatteras Lighthouse.
At some spots, it's so narrow it feels like you can drag one arm through the Atlantic Ocean and the other through the Pamlico Sound. Sand washes onto the road during tropical weather, and it can sometimes pile up several feet high, making it impassable.
Hurricane Irene carved out several breaches in all, including two gaps that are new free-flowing inlets more than 120 feet.
In 2003, Hurricane Isabel also cleared out a piece of the highway. Ferries had to make round trips to Hatteras Village up to eight times a day, bringing bottled water, food, heavy machinery and relief workers while hauling out garbage and debris. Once again, emergency ferries are shipping goods to the isolated islands.
About 55,000 people live in the Outer Banks, which stretches south from the Virginia state line to Ocracoke Island. The Outer Banks includes all of Dare County and many of the towns along the coast, including Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head.
It's hard to say how many tourists visit each year. But in the summer, tourism officials say there are 250,000 visitors in any given week. Hatteras in particular is popular for its open spaces. There, people get up in arms when a garish beach supply store sets up shop and complain when people don't turn out the lights at night — it makes the stars tougher to see.
Danny Couch, a business owner in the Hatteras Island town of Buxton, said the state should spend whatever it takes to reopen the highway as soon as possible. Even though many areas will still be cleaning up during Labor Day weekend, the fall is also a big earner for property rentals and tourism, he said.
"I'm all for protecting the environment, but I have a payroll to meet," he said.
Because of the pristine land the road runs through, environmental groups support a 17-mile bridge that would bypass the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and many of the areas where the breaches occurred. It would cost an estimated $1 billion, though advocates say in the long run it would be less expensive than constantly repairing the road and smaller bridge.
The state transportation agency believes it's too late for a long bridge. Instead, they've decided to replace the short Bonner Bridge, which had a projected lifespan of 30 years when it was built in 1962, and continue to repair Highway 12 as needed.

Wednesday March 24, 2010 2:42 PM
BAGHDAD – The Iraqi prime minister held talks with a radical Shiite group he once tried to destroy in bloody street battles, both sides said Wednesday, showing his willingness to put aside animosities with some of his fiercest enemies to ensure a second term in office after a divisive election.
Nouri al-Maliki's outreach to a powerful faction within the Iranian-backed Iraqi National Alliance could also lead to the recreation of the wide-ranging Shiite alliance that dominated Iraq's politics for a lengthy stretch after the ouster of Saddam Hussein in 2003.
Final results from the March 7 parliamentary election are expected to be released Friday, but no single group is likely to dominate the 325-member assembly, meaning a governing alliance will have to be forged.
In a sign of the maneuvering, al-Maliki made a public show Wednesday of meeting with President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, in an attempt to woo Kurdish supporters to his side.
And late in the evening, members of the Iraqi National Alliance held a news conference to discuss their own talks with al-Maliki's main challenger, the Iraqiya coalition of Sunnis and Shiites led by former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi — a clear signal that in Iraq's rapidly moving political scene few alliances are off the table.
On Tuesday night, the prime minister met with two representatives of the radical Shiite group led by anti-U.S. cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
While it is too soon to say whether those talks will lead to a more concrete alliance, both al-Maliki and the Sadrists would have something to gain. The overture may be an attempt to show Allawi that he cannot hope for Sadrist support in his own efforts to regain the premiership.
The Sadrists, who have gone from fighting U.S. troops on the streets to a powerful political organization, could turn their street credentials into government power.
The Sadrists are widely thought to have the largest number of seats in the Iraqi National Alliance, and many analysts question whether the Sadrists might break off from the INA. Al-Maliki has also reached out to the other main party in the Shiite alliance, the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council.
Ali al-Adeeb, a candidate on al-Maliki's State of Law list, and a senior Sadrist official, Karrar al-Khafaji, both confirmed Tuesday's meeting. Al-Khafaji said the negotiations with al-Maliki were "positive" and that the two sides have "common ties."
Al-Khafaji said "no details, just general guidelines" were discussed Tuesday. He added that one of the "most difficult" issues in the talks was the post of the future prime minister.
Al-Maliki is unpalatable to many Sadrists because of his crackdown on their militiamen in the southern city of Basra and in their eastern Baghdad stronghold. Al-Maliki has also refused to release al-Sadr's followers held in Iraqi jails.
A Sadrist official in the holy city of Najaf, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, played down Tuesday's talks, saying nothing has been achieved and that Sadrists were still firmly opposed to al-Maliki continuing as prime minister.
Whoever gets the top job will oversee Iraq as U.S. forces go home and help determine whether the country can overcome its sectarian divisions.
With 95 percent of the votes counted so far, al-Maliki and his supporters are in a dead heat with a coalition led by Allawi, a secular Shiite who has attracted a strong following among Iraq's Sunni community for his anti-Iran rhetoric.
Talks on forming a governing coalition could drag on. The last government took nearly six months to form.
The Kurds, who control their autonomous region in the north, will play a key role in forming the government. Al-Maliki's meeting Wednesday with Talabani appeared to be a public display for local reporters in which the two men highlighted their past history but said little of substance and took no questions.
Both leaders said they had discussed efforts to bring about a new government.
"We are old allies that have fought together against dictatorship in order to establish the democratic, federal and independent Iraq," Talabani said. "God willing, our efforts will continue to form a new coalition government."
A tie-up between al-Maliki's list, the Kurds and the Sadrists could prove to be a winning combination, giving Maliki nearly enough seats to form a government, said Michael Hanna, an Iraq analyst with the Century Foundation.
"If Maliki's able to cut a deal with the Sadrists, that's a big deal," Hanna said, adding that there are still significant hurdles to overcome.
Scattered violence killed at least 10 people across Iraq Wednesday. In Baghdad, gunmen killed five Iraqi soldiers in a drive-by shooting on a checkpoint in a Sunni suburb near the airport.
In the western city of Hit, a suicide bomber targeting a police colonel killed the colonel's brother and two workers helping rebuild the officer's home after it had been targeted by another suicide bomber over a month ago, a police official said.
A police officer in Baqouba was killed trying to dismantle a bomb, and one person was killed in the northern city of Mosul by a grenade that targeted a police patrol, officials said.

The Remote Desktop Gateway can help you provide secure access to virtual machines over public networks.
You can use the Remote Desktop (RD) Web Access role service to publish user sessions and virtual machines (VMs). However, that only works over your LAN. To enable secure access to sessions and VMs over public networks, you'll have to use the RD Gateway.
There are specific reasons you should use the RD Gateway for both public and private networks, ways you should set it up in a typical deployment, and ways you should configure the required access policies—most having to do with maintaining a secure channel. There are also many helpful hotfixes that pertain to using this role service.
You can always access RemoteApps, remote desktops, and VMs on your internal network. What if you or your users want to access those resources from your favorite coffee shop or your laptop while sitting on the beach? You could open up port 3389 (the RDP port) in your firewall to enable access from public networks, but that would leave you vulnerable to attack.
This is where the RD Gateway comes into play. The RD Gateway role service provides secure access by establishing an SSL tunnel from the client to the RD Gateway. The RD Gateway acts as the middleman. It passes traffic to and from the client over port 443, and to and from the internal resource over port 3389. Any communication between the RD Gateway and the external client is also encrypted.
One difference between using the RD Gateway and a typical Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution is that VPNs provide full network access to anyone who can connect. The RD Gateway uses authorization policies to determine who can use the service and the specific resources to which they're allowed access.
You can configure different permission sets for people depending on whether they're connecting from within or outside the network. RD Gateway uses a two-tiered whitelist model. Users must be explicitly allowed to use RD Gateway. They must also have explicit permission to access the resources they want to use through the gateway (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 RD Gateway sets permissions for specific users and the resources to which they have access.
A remote client will attempt to access an RDS resource through the RD Gateway. The gateway will allow and make the connection if the client is authorized to access the RD Gateway and has permission to access the requested resource. It will then create a secure tunnel between the client and the RD Gateway server. If the client isn't authorized to connect to the RD Gateway, the client will be denied access (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 This is what you'll see if you attempt an unauthorized access.
If the client is authorized to access RD Gateway, but not authorized to access the requested resource, the client will still be denied access (see Figure 3).
Figure 3 If you have access to the RD Gateway, but not the resource, you'll still be denied.
The RD Gateway controls access to itself and internal RDS resources separately with two different types of access policies: RD Resource Access Policies (RD RAPs) and RD Connection Access Policies (RD CAPs). RD RAPs control the resources (RD Session Host servers and desktops with remote desktop enabled, including pooled or personal desktop VMs) any user can access. RD CAPs control which users (and optionally computers) have permission to connect to RD Gateway.
RD CAPs also control:
RD Gateway gives you a simple interface with which you can create these policies. Their storage location depends on the type of access policy. You create and store RD RAPs in RD Gateway. RD CAPs are really NPS Network Policies. Once you create RD CAPs, they'll be visible in the RD Gateway under the Connection Authorization Policies folder. You can also open the Network Policy Service (NPS) and see the corresponding Network Policy (see Figure 4).
Figure 4 You can open NPS to view the corresponding Network Policy.
These are really the same policies. RD Gateway just gives you a different view and a simpler way to manage the policies as they pertain to RD Gateway.
You can create granular access policies using multiple RD CAPs and RD RAPs, but there's one simple rule: A user must meet the requirements of at least one RD CAP and one RD RAP in order to successfully connect to the RD Gateway (and subsequently to internal RDS resources). The user must first connect to the RD Gateway (RD CAP). Once they've been permitted to establish an RD Gateway connection, that user then needs permission to access an RDS resource (RD RAP). One policy is really no good without the other.
The " Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services Resource Kit" (Microsoft Press, 2010) explains how to set up RD Gateway. At a high level, you must take these steps:
The RD Gateway Installation Wizard will create and install a self-signed SSL certificate to use while you're testing out RD Gateway. You could also create this self-signed certificate afterward. Self-signed certificates aren't verified by a trusted third party, though. You'd have to add a self-signed certificate to every client machine's Trusted Root Certification Authorities store for the client to trust and connect to the RD Gateway server. This is impractical if the client machine isn't a managed computer.
For live environments, you'll want to use a certificate issued by a public CA or an in-house PKI solution. If you've already installed an SSL certificate, select it when prompted by the wizard before installing the RD Gateway. Install an SSL certificate by adding it to the server's Personal Computer certificate store via the Certificates MMC snap-in.
Next, open Server Manager and install the RD Gateway role service. You can also install this role using Windows PowerShell, but some of the options you'll get if you install using Server Manager won't be available. The RD Gateway role service requires both the IIS and NPS role services to perform key functions, so it will automatically install them if they aren't installed already.
RD Gateway uses IIS to make RPC calls over HTTPS, and creates NPS Network Policies (called RD Connection Authorization Policies in RD Gateway) to control who is allowed to connect. The wizard will prompt you for the SSL certificate you wish to use to secure connections. It will also walk you through creating one RD CAP and one RD RAP policy.
Next you need to set up any RD Gateway-Managed groups you might need to reference in your RD RAPs. An RD Gateway-managed group is a group of computers maintained by an RD Gateway, instead of Active Directory. Most of the time, specifying Active Directory computer groups in RD RAPs will make the most sense. If you have an RD Session Host farm, though, you'll have to create an RD Gateway-managed group to control access to the farm via RD Gateway. Active Directory doesn't have a way of identifying multiple RD Session Host servers by their farm name.
To create an RD Gateway-managed group, select the Resource Authorization Policies folder under the RD Gateway server in RD Gateway Manager. Click the Manage Local Computer Groups link in the Actions pane on the right side of the RD Gateway Manager window. Once you create an RD Gateway managed group containing RD Session Host farm members, you can add that group to an RD RAP.
Once your installation is complete, you can tweak your RD CAPs and RD RAPs. You can also create more authorization policies in the RD Gateway Manager. For instance, you might want to use one set of authorization policies for the sales team and another for the IT team.
To create more RD CAPs and RD RAPs, right-click the Policies folder under the RD Gateway server listed in RD Gateway Manager and select Create New Authorization Policies. This will start the Create Authorization Policies for the RD Gateway wizard. Double-click an existing RD CAP or RAP to edit its properties.
Existing policies are located in the Connection Authorization Policies and Resource Authorization Policies folders listed under the RD Gateway server in RD Gateway Manager. Once you've implemented an RD Gateway, clients need to reference the RD Gateway address when they access RDS resources:
Once you've set up the service, you should test it before making it widely available. To test RD Gateway connectivity, open a browser and browse to the RPC folder on your RD Gateway server.You should be prompted for credentials. Then you should get a blank page. This is the expected behavior for a working RD Gateway implementation.
Analyzing event logs on the RD Gateway server can help you understand why a user might be denied access to RD Gateway or a requested RDS resource, and how to remedy the situation. RD Gateway logs are stored in the Event Viewer at: Event Viewer\Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\TerminalServices-Gateway.
Specify the types of events RD Gateway will log by checking or unchecking the checkboxes next to the auditing events listed on the Auditing tab of RD Gateway Manager Properties page. Here are some examples of the types of event IDs you might see, and what you should do if you have users unintentionally denied access through RD Gateway:
NPS also logs events in the Event Viewer Security log when users are granted or denied access through RD Gateway. Here are some examples:
These are the essentials of RD Gateway, including why you'd use this role service to provide remote access, how to set up the role service, and how to configure the access policies that define the rules for remote access. Next month, we'll discuss how certificates combine with the Credential Security Support Provider to enable a feature called Network-Level Authentication (NLA) that improves the user logon experience.
The following hotfixes regarding RD Gateway are also helpful:
Q. How many connections can the RD Gateway accommodate?
A. The RD Gateway can accommodate many connections. In fact, a dual processor server with 4GB of RAM can accommodate more than 1,200 connections. Read the Microsoft white paper, " RD Gateway Capacity Planning in Windows 2008 R2," for more information on RD Gateway capacity testing and results analysis performed by Microsoft. From a licensing perspective, RD Gateway is limited to 256 simultaneous connections in Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard edition, and 50 simultaneous connections in Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation edition. RD Gateway connections in Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter and Enterprise editions are unlimited.
Q. Can I use RD Gateway behind an ISA server? What about Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG)?
A. Yes, you can do this. Use this script to publish RD Gateway on an ISA server. You can also implement RD Gateway behind Forefront TMG. The Configuring Forefront Threat Management Gateway Integration with RD Gateway Step-by-Step Guide shows you how to use TMG as an SSL bridging device in front of RD Gateway.
Q. What kind of SSL certificate do I need to use when I configure RD Gateway?
A. You can use a regular SSL certificate, a wildcard certificate (*.domain.com) or a SAN certificate (a certificate with multiple names, like rdg.domain.com, rdwa.domain.com, rds.domain.com) with RD Gateway.
Q. How can you force connections from the Remote Desktops page of RD Web Access to use RD Gateway?
A. There's no checkbox on the Remote Desktops tab of the RD Web Access Web site to force the use of RD Gateway, but you can make it happen by editing Desktop.aspx file from this:
if ((DefaultTSGateway != null) && (DefaultTSGateway.length> 0)) {
RDPstr += "gatewayusagemethod:i:2\n";
to this:
if ((DefaultTSGateway != null) &&(DefaultTSGateway.length> 0)) {
RDPstr += "gatewayusagemethod:i:1\n";
Explicitly forcing the use of RD Gateway will also speed up connections because there's no delay while the connection attempts to connect directly over port 3389, times out and then tries again over SSL port 443.

* required fields
He was nicknamed "Amiable Andy" while in the Navy during World War II – an endearment that followed him throughout his life and reflected his optimism and kind heart. Born and raised in rural Iowa, he returned there with his bride in Autumn 1945, anxious to set up a home and use his training as an aviation electrician to realize his dream of owning his own farm.
For 50-plus years, he was a proud member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Local 347. Yes, he did achieve the purchase of that farm – a section of land that was one mile long and half a mile wide, with the bonus of another 80 acres in a different county – but much of his daily life revolved around the projects and friendships of his employment as a union electrician.
Commercial/institutional buildings throughout the Midwest landscape – hospitals, college dormitories, and more – rose in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, and their reliability on electricity and power was ensured by Andy and his colleagues. With a determination to do the best job possible (long before the popular influx of "quality" training seminars), they worked through humid summers and frigid winters, finding ways to power and light buildings more efficiently and reliably, as well as more effectively for the end-user.
Except when he was a project's electrical foreman, he earned the same paycheck as his fellow journeymen. Once, when asked how he handled similar remuneration for a higher level of work output, he stopped in his tracks. "It's not only about the pay," he said. "It's about craftsmanship and pride. Look at these beautiful buildings. I've had a big part in helping create them. And," he added, "make them better."
That was an enlightening lesson to anyone that day who heard the query, which was posed by his young adult daughter. For he expanded on the issues of continual education in a craft; of striving for excellence each and every day – professionally as well as personally; of injecting humor into frustrating tasks; and of taking personal pride in earning the respect of colleagues for a job beyond well done. "That," he said, "is craftsmanship."

By Lee, Jong Woo, USAG Daegu Public Affairs Office, (Intern)August 7, 2014
USAG DAEGU -- Every year, the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs of Daegu makes a U.S. Army Garrison Daegu installation visit, and according to Sagong, Chan the ministry's administrative officer, it's something they look forward to from one visit to the next. Last year, ministry officials visited Camp Walker. The group made its way July 23 to Camp Carroll.
"The most important reason why we visit the various installations is to introduce what the USFK Soldiers do for the security of the Republic of Korea, and the ROK-US Alliance, to our officers, and local college students," stated Sagong.
The first stop on this year's agenda was the Camp Carroll Wetland. On hand to greet the local guests was So, Ki-chun, USAG Daegu Community Relations Officer for Camp Carroll, and Dr. Kim, Chom-tong, environmental engineer, DPW Environmental Division. Guiding the visitors through the wetlands, the CRO explained that the current wetland site was formerly a garage.
"Since 2009, we have worked on the restoration of the wetland. Once the site of a garage, it is now a place where people can come and rest while they enjoy nature," he said.
Dr. Kim chimed in, "Camp Carroll is the best place among the USFK installations where the environmental facilities and programs function so well."
Dr. Kim's efforts to conserve the environment around Camp Carroll have been recognized by DoD officials. In 1999 he received the Secretary of the Army Environmental Quality Overseas Installation Award. He received the same award again in 2006 for USAG Daegu and Area IV.
The first stop for the visitors was at the Camp Carroll wetlands. Prior to the entering the site they were briefed by Mr. So who explained to them that the wetlands project began in 2009. He said, "At that time, this area was a garage. With a lot of hours and a lot of hard work, restoration began. Now, what once was a garage, is now a place for people to come and rest."
Also welcoming the visitors was Tom Kunneke, DPW Environmental Division, Natural Resources Management. He shared with the visitors a few strong points regarding the wetlands.
"The main value of the restoration is hydrology, native vegetation, and bio-diversity," Kunneke said. "Most native plants and animals come along with the hydrology. Now, it provides many different services for the people, the wild life and everything else. After the restoration was finished, seasonal birds started coming here. Some birds come and go from the Nakdong River all year long."
Following the visit through the wetlands, Mr. Sagong, along with the officers and students participated in a windshield tour around Camp Carroll. Part of that tour included a briefing by Mr. Yim, Chong-uk, KN Senior Supervisor, Heavy Equipment Division, who explained the function of the massive warehouse.
"We repair all of USFK's ground equipment such as combat equipment, military engineering equipment, and tactical vehicles. With the help of the DPW Environmental Division of Camp Carroll, we also try not to pollute the local surroundings. We discharge the pollutants into the designated waste repository, even a keg of antifreeze," he said.
Clearly, the visitors got great satisfaction from the visit and the briefings. Said one of the visiting students, Kwon, Jin-kyeom, Sociology, Yeongnam University, "What I expected before this tour was something about the system on combat equipment. However, they gave an explanation on their efforts for the local condition. It was different from the ROK Army. So I concentrated and listened closely. Now I have an idea of the circumstances of the U.S. Army. The pollution of the atmosphere and the environment is getting worse, but I think the Soldiers here can live in harmony with nature by taking a rest at a place like the wetland."

I would like to know if it's possible for flash to stream it's webcam directly to another computer without a flash media server in the middle, I want to build a highly scalable video system which basically logs people into the site, records their ip address and then when someone wants to chat to that person, connect the output from the webcam to the input of the flash video player and vice versa.
the idea being that they basically plug together, rather than a huge, expensive, bandwidth hungry server in the middle.
is it possible? I heard that flash can talk binary directly to sockets now, could this be a solution?

AbstractIn Phase I, a 1280 x 1024 element InGaAs Solid State LLLTV (Low Light Level Television) Imager with 0.4- to 1.7-micron sensitivity will be developed to achieve visible (VIS) and short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) spectral range that is well matched to the nighttime sky irradiance. The extended spectral response (including the 1064 nm and 1550 nm) laser lines, allows the ability of the Solid State LLLTV imager to serve multiple purposes, including enhanced situational awareness. A high pixel density is achieved by directly bonding the detectors to readout integrated circuits (ROICs) manufactured using conventional CMOS technology. Whereas, typically detector arrays are bump bonded to ROICs, in the Phase I program, the InGaAs detector array and the Si ROIC will be bonded into a robust, monolithic structure using 'via-less', 'face-to-face', room temperature, 3D heterogeneous InGaAs die-to-Si wafer bond. Increase visible response is achieved in the InGaAs detector, but removing the Inp substrate and back-illuminating the array. In Phase I, the LLLTV's components will be characterized first individually, and then together, and the technology's improved image quality, reduced pixel size, and low power requirements for NVGs will be established so that in Phase II, prototypes can be delivered to AFRL for evaluation.

Good showGame came in today and it feels good to play in HD. Gameplay is similar to REV 4 only this time Chris (not Leon) has a partner who is really helpful during the game. Graphics are neat. Game is recommended for REV fans. Although first love will always be REV 4.

Evil is now Resident (again!)Indeed, a good game such as this deserves lotsa praise. Its a welcome addition for RE loyalists and newbies alike. Getting chased by hordes of zombies (majini), epic boss battles against ginormous enemies or getting around traps are just a tip of the iceberg!

Best shooting gameBest in its class, you cannot compare it to RE4, that was a different concept. But this is better than operation raccoon city. Overall this is entertaining. Control is little bit of different from other games but if you start it playing with in few hours you will be used to of it, then no problem at all.Must have for RE Lovers and fans

Good but not brilliantAfter the masterstroke with RE4, this adventure from Capcom features some older characters from Resident Evil series. The gameplay and storyline are however disappointing as you do not connect with the characters. Good Graphics, Excellent sound and Move compatibility adds a bonus point. I would suggest to try the demo first.

Book Review: My Awesome Japan Adventure by Rebecca Otowa
Have you ever been to Japan? What do you know about this island country in the Pacific Ocean off the east coast of China and Korea? Japan is called the "Land of the Rising Sun" because it is situated at the most eastern part of Asia. The Japanese call their country "Nippon," which literally means in Japanese "the origin of the sun."
In My Awesome Japan Adventure: A Diary about the Best 4 Months Ever by Rebecca Otowa, fifth-grader Dan flies to Japan and spends time with the Muratas, his host family. The Muratas have two children named Mari and Daisuke, who are about the same age as Dan. Dan keeps a record of what he sees and experiences, including his first week of school, working on the rice harvest, and attending a tea ceremony!
Daisuke gives Dan a lesson about bowing. At a Kendo lesson in Japan, students bow to their "Sensai" or teacher to show respect and thank him. They bow before starting a conversation and when they leave. Bowing is way of greeting in Japan, and it is usually accompanied by words like, "hello," "please," and "thank you."
I am really impressed by the fun tidbits about Japan found in this book. Even though I have traveled to Japan a few times and am quite familiar with the country and the culture, there are things in this book that are new to me. I enjoyed learning about moji making and different types of sushi.
Another strong point about this book is the detailed illustrations that accompany the story. Author Rebecca Otowa, who has lived in Japan for 30 years, is a painter and teacher. Her fun drawings make it easy for readers to follow the story.
Filled with new discovery and adventure, My Awesome Japan Adventure is a delightful read for elementary school students who want to learn more about Japan. It will appeal to fans of Japanese manga and Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.

About Us
It is a place of great tradition, where records are broken, horses triumph and winnings collected. It is the symbol of horse racing in the city of Kuala Lumpur and the Selangor Turf Club is all that and more. The Club which began its racing activities in the 1800s has over the century evolved and grown into a centre for all forms of equine activity.
In Malaysia, private membership clubs like the Selangor Turf Club run the races. Malaysian horse racing is dependent on the synergistic relationship between the Malaysian Tote Board, the Privatised Agent and the Turf Clubs. This is based on the authority of the Racing (Totalisator Board) Act 1961 and amended in 1992.
The Malaysian Totalisator Board, a statutory board under the Ministry of Finance, Malaysia which was established following the enactment of The Racing (Totalisator Board) Act in 1961. The totalisator operation was privatized and licensed to Pan Malaysian Pools Sdn Bhd, recently acquired by Jana Pendidikan Malaysia Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned unit of Genting Berhad.

Swollen Lip
Swollen Lip Symptoms & Signs
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Symptoms & Signs
Swelling of the lips can arise due to different conditions. Trauma or injury to the lip and mouth area is an obvious cause of swollen lips. Allergic reactions, either to foods, medications, or other substances, can often be accompanied by swelling of the lips. Angioedema is a condition in which there is swelling of the tissue beneath the skin, and this is often concentrated around the eyes and lips. Some infections (such as herpes simplex virus infection) can result in blisters (sometimes referred to as cold sores) and localized swelling of the lips. Infections and inflammatory conditions of the skin can also lead to inflammation and swollen lips (cheilitis). Less commonly, medical conditions or illnesses that affect the entire body may cause lip swelling, sometimes in association with fluid retention or swelling in other areas of the body.

Good to see some logical posts on this matter.
Logic would dictate that a receiver coming off a totally blown out knee who is not ready for game 1 is not going to be a significant factor until mid-season, IF THAT.
There are some really talented, really experienced, really hungry receivers on this team that are going to assume the #3 role until he is 100%, which could very well not happen this year at all.
Is it not logical to expect him to be sprinkled in later in the season instead of what some think where Merlin is going to wave his wand and all of a sudden this receiver with a blown out leg flies down from the sky and plays early in the season as if nothing happened?
I wonder how much crack some people smoke some times.
Spock are you out there?
We need logic on this subject.....
