Today I attended the Special Libraries Association (SLA) Virtual Conference.
Special libraries include businesses, museums, law offices, hospitals, government entities, solo librarians, independent information professionals (yo!) and everything else that doesn't fall under the traditional school/academic/public umbrella of libraries.
The special library track was my "thing" in library school. I loved the concept of subject specialty. I loved the science of research. Precision and recall are my idea of a good bar conversation.
Though I've moved to the genealogy world, I still like to keep my toes in the special library pool. You see, genealogy education is a drug of the over-the-counter variety. Nice for minor use, but sometimes I need a hit of Improved Research Skills and SLA is my dealer.
Some of what I learned on day 1 of this virtual conference translates to the professional genealogy world, so I decided to include a few sound bites here. Session titles are in bold.
1. A Profession in Transformation; Including Five Habits of Highly Effective Information Professionals
Simon Lord
One thing I love about SLA is that they know their identity. They are information professionals, plain and simple. Subject specialty doesn't matter. Credentials (or lack thereof) do not matter. Each member is an information professional in one way or another and they move the association forward as a unified body.
Information professionals are always communicating their value. They have to because their value to their employers is always being questioned. "Why do I need you when I can look everything up on Google?" Does this sound familiar, professional genealogy types? Info pros hear this All. The. Time. They answer with quality reports produced in less time which translates to savings for the company. However, communicating value is a never-ending task, which is why it stressed so heavily in info-pro circles.
Do you see ways professional genealogists can communicate their value, too? I don't mean walrus barking about your "qualifications." I mean busting your butt and producing quality work. I mean answering someone's questions and offering them a business card and a smile that says you're the right person for the job and you have the knowledge to back it up. You get the idea.
Every research or library-based group I've ever belonged to stressed the importance of information professionals "keeping current," especially with technology. This is more than downloading the latest app on your smartphone (or for some actually getting a smartphone).
In the information-professional world, keeping current is part of the job. In the professional genealogy world, I've experienced a weird indifference, especially when it comes to technology. Keeping current can save you time and money. Keeping current can make you a better researcher, writer, record keeper, etc. To do your job well, you should know the latest tech tools. You may not use them, but you should know how to use them and who else does. You need to know the latest databases online (and these are constantly coming online). You need to know what records repositories are adding, updating and saying online and offline. You need to know developments in genealogy software. How can I as a potential client or sub-contractor feel good about hiring you as a professional genealogist if you don't assure me you are "current?" You might miss the very item I need to make my project a success.
This virtual conference session also discussed more library-ish effective habits, but the best takeaways for professional genealogy (in my opinion) were promoting value and keeping current.
2. Go Beyond Google: Gathering Competitive Intelligence
Sean Campbell
I really dig competitive intelligence, so this session was right up my alley. I have found that the skills one acquires doing this type of research come in handy in professional genealogy, too.
Market analysis of the genealogy industry is best performed using competitive intelligence tools. These skills are also handy for finding living people, such as you would do in forensic genealogy.
This speaker had a background in the tech industry, but his knowledge translated well into other fields. He really liked Twitter as an information tool (as do I) and spent a large portion of the presentation on various Twitter analytic tools one can use to gather business information. This is more than just monitoring tweets. It's measuring the reach of hashtags, finding influencers and more.
Several tools were mentioned. They are Tweetreach.com, Follwerwonk, and Foller.me.
Much of the session was also dedicated to LinkedIn as a business intelligence resource. Again, this is a really good tool if you're trying to get information on genealogy companies (or those that have the data we want) or living people (as you'd want in forensic genealogy).
I learned some neat tricks in this session and I intend on practicing them by doing a little research of my own in the genealogy industry.
3. Just Say No to Aimlessness! Strategic Leveraging of Social Media Content
Ethel Salonen, Cheryl Yanek
The first speaker in this session was a librarian/social media person for a non-profit. She talked about how they used social media tools to reach their intended audiences. Some of the takeaways from which the pro genealogy world would benefit are:
Don't send the same message to all of your social media channels. Learn who your audience is on each site. This is a big pet peeve of mine. Many genealogy businesses and researchers phone in social media this way. You're not fully engaged and it shows.
Be aware of those who can influence your brand. These folks can come from media, celebrities, clients, peers, etc.). In the genealogy world, influencers can be those same people. Determining influencers can also be done using social media analytic tools, just like what was mentioned in the first session. See how this all fits together?
What is worthy of sharing? Keep your personal self out of social media. Um...do as I say, not as I do here. My single Twitter account is a free for all and I have no intention of changing it. However, as the speaker says, steer clear of the more personal rants on your business accounts. It seems like common sense, but I look at some accounts and wonder...
Social media is a conversation, not a monologue. Create an engagement strategy. Keep your followers engaged. Another huge pet peeve of mine in the genealogy business world. Lots of pushing products, links, etc. and minimal dialogue with followers. As the speaker was talking about this point, I started thinking about social media accounts in the genealogy business world. There is one account that keeps posting the same thing over and over. I will never understand it. Then I got to thinking some more and decided I really like the way Ancestry.com initiates dialogue and engages followers on their Twitter account. I mentally gave them a gold star. Then I got to thinking about how if you ask RootsMagic a question on their Facebook page, you often have an answer from their team in a matter of minutes. I mentally gave them a gold star, too.
Don't be afraid to fail. Take risks.
This speaker was so cool. She's tried all these social media tools in her job and shared her experiences with them, even the ones that didn't work. It's a matter of learning what works for you and doesn't. Same thing applies in the genealogy business world.
The next speaker in this session talked about an in-house social media tool that her company uses. This did not translate well into genealogy so I used that time to start this blog post.
Overall my first day at this virtual conference went really well. I'm glad I spent the money as I feel it is helping sharpen my research skills. I hope my decision to blog about it here was a good idea. I just wanted others to see how information-based events from other associations outside the genealogy field are good for business within the field.
Read about day 2 here.
(Edited to add: The virtual conference sessions were done through GoToMeeting. I had three different unique links for three different log-in times (45 minute break between sessions). It was just like a genealogy webinar experience.)

Great summary, Amy! Glad you posted this - good info for all info pros!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Amanda. Glad you found it useful.Delete
Enjoyed reading this, Amy, thank you. A good perspective for all of us. I especially found your comments on Twitter interesting, as I generally feel the same way about that platform. It is, in my opinion, under-utilized by the genealogy field. Thank you for sharing. ~ JenReplyDelete

Last weekend, the Padres and Mariners faced off at Safeco Field. San Diego took two of three, and one fellow on the wrong end of a bet produced this oddly whisper-filled love letter to the Padres. H/T Theodore Donald Kerabatsos.
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Use this space to talk about basketball. Keep an eye out for ninjas, though.

I may be way off on this, but I grew up in AZ in the 1960's and 70's. As I recall, we did have DST then. One year I remember several small children being hit by cars on their way to school while it was still dark because of DST. The people revolted and I do believe the issue was sent to the state legislature to abolish it. You ladies just need to start a grass roots campaign and see what happens!
- March 18, 2012 at 2:01 PM
According to my 7 year old daughter, Ben Franklin invented DST (but not DSL) to help us all out. But that man was up at the crack of dawn anyway, so I don't know what difference it makes.
P.S. and we so love Davy at the Patch house.

I love your blog! Coming out of lurkdom to comment. I live in AZ---so glad we don't have DST. Something to do with our 110deg weather in the summer. Who in their right mind would want more daylight in Arizona's summers??? We want darkness by 8pm, please. :)

My thoughts exactly! My poor 4 year old wet the bed every night for two whole weeks after we changed the clocks! He hadn't done that in ages, and I think the time change totally messed up his biorhythms. He was so disappointed in himself, even though we tried to make him realize that it was no big deal.

Well, I don't know what to say about that. On the one hand I hate it when I have to wake up in the morning earlier because DST, but on the other hand, the best sensation in the world when you wake up and realize you can go back to bed for another hour.

Hi all! It's been a while since I've been here. HOpe everyone is doing well!
I am at the point where I need to have surgery to correct my scoliosis. My curve is up to 50% now, so I cant put it off any longer.
Has anyone here had spinal fusion? If so, can you give me some insight? I'm 51, so it's not like I'm going in to this as a young person, so I am scared to death!
Thanks for any input!

"Big things have small beginnings." So says Michael Fassbender's character in Prometheus. He was referring to a blob of alien goo that would go on to spawn the monster that drives the Alien series, but he just as easily could've been talking about Radiohead.
Like that daub of black goo, Radiohead's origins were inauspicious. The band — consisting throughout its existence of Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar, piano, electronics), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, various other instruments), Colin Greenwood (bass, synths), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals), and Phil Selway (drums) — formed in 1985 in the music rehearsal room of their Oxfordshire boys' school. The band's awkward original moniker was On A Friday — their usual practice time.
Unlike so many of their contemporaries, On A Friday did not spend years slugging it out in the indie tour circuit before achieving broader success — their path to glory was more in the classic-rock mold. After a university-born hiatus through the late '80s, On A Friday signed a six-album deal with EMI without ever touring. Pressured by their label, the band changed their name to Radiohead, after a Talking Heads song. A year later, the band recorded a song called "Creep," and the rest is history.
When most people think of Radiohead now, they think of Radiohead the iconoclasts: the band that resurrected progressive rock with OK Computer, dove headlong into experimental music with Kid A, and precipitated an entirely new business model with In Rainbows. For a high-profile band with so much to lose, Radiohead has historically been relentlessly ambitious. No two of their albums sound alike. (Not even Kid A and Amnesiac — more on that later.)
But Radiohead has achieved their status as one of the last consensus-building rock bands because of their broad populist streak. That populism is musical as well as political. Even at their most challenging and experimental, Radiohead ruthlessly edits their music into catchy, pop-sized chunks. Beneath the swathes of digital gauze and strange sound is a Beatles-style hit machine.
After eight albums, Radiohead may be close to the end of their creative arc. The band has expressed growing (and characteristic!) dissatisfaction with the process of writing and recording albums. Said Yorke during the press cycle for The King Of Limbs: "None of us want to go into that creative hoo-hah of a long-play record again … I mean, it's just become a real drag." (Then again, The King Of Limbs concludes with Yorke informing the listener that, "If you think this is over, then you're wrong.")
So now is as good of a time as any to reflect on Radiohead's catalog. Here are all eight of their full-length albums, analyzed and examined, and ranked from worst to best. If you disagree — and oh, will some of you ever disagree — then feel free to crush my list like a bug in the ground with your comments.
"Big things have small beginnings." So says Michael Fassbender's character in Prometheus. He was referring to a blob of alien goo that would go on to spawn the monster that drives the Alien series, but he just as easily could've been talking about Radiohead.

What is optical radiation?
Optical radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is subdivided into
- ultraviolet radiation (UV),
- the spectrum of light visible for man (VIS) and
- infrared radiation (IR).
Optical radiation may produce positive as well as negative effects. It is therefore necessary to arrange for reasonable exposure to optical radiation. Primarily UV-radiation, but also IR-radiation, may be both beneficial and detrimental for man. The natural source of both types of radiation is sun. Artificial sources of UV-radiation are among others UV-lamps or emitters as for example in solaria. Artificial IR-radiation is generated by devices such as light bulbs or radiant heaters.
Excessive exposure to natural or artificial UV-radiation means immediate (acute) and long-term (chronic) damage to the eye and skin. Excess of IR-radiation may also cause health detriment. Recent studies have shown that chronic exposure to IR-radiation alone or combined with UV-radiation may induce skin damage. It is therefore necessary to arrange for reasonable exposure to optical radiation.

To Go With Soup: 7 Quicker Flatbreads
So you've chopped, sautéed, stirred, and simmered — and you're ready to eat some soup. You don't really want to spend a lot of time on another side dish or bread, but soup still demands some accompaniment. Personally, I love flatbread with soup — it tends to be quicker to make. Whether it's pita, socca, or homemade tortillas, flatbreads round out a meal and soak up soup perfectly. Here are seven favorites from the archives.
First, some basic technique. Here's how to cook flatbread like pita on the stove, instead of in the oven:
Now for the recipes. Some of these are quicker than others, but flatbread tends to make up for a bit of rise time or advance preparation by its quick cooking time. Socca, for instance, needs to be mixed up an hour ahead of time, but then it sizzles in the oven for a scant five minutes.
• 1 Rustic Flatbread with Olive Oil and Sea Salt – A simple flatbread that does require some rise time.
• 2 Chapati – A classic flatbread, chewy and stretchy, and very, very quick to make.
• 3 Socca (Chickpea Pancake) – A quick, easy batter turns into a crispy, gluten-free chickpea pancake — it's one of my favorite foods. Ever.
• 4 How To Make Scallion Pancakes – A Chinese restaurant favorite, so easy and so good to make at home!
• 5 Easy Homemade Pita Bread – Another recipe that takes some rise time for the dough, but bakes quickly.
• 6 How To Make Perfect Crêpes – Crêpes are a great accompaniment to soup!
• 7 How To Make Flour Tortillas From Scratch – Another quick, last-minute option for flatbread.
Do you have any favorite quick, easy flatbread recipes? Personally, I'm working to master a semolina dosa — hopefully I can share that with you soon!

An appeal for a third trial has been denied to convicted double murderer Mark H. Lankford.
In a 25-page order filed last Friday, Dec. 6, Second District Court Senior Judge James F. Judd denied Lankford's motion, which sought to overturn his conviction on allegations including witness perjury, prosecutorial misconduct, recantation of trial testimony and ineffective assistance of counsel. Reviewing each of Lankford's allegations, Judd denied these on their failure to meet the criteria of law or that no proof of evidence was available.
Lankford, 57, is currently serving two fixed life sentences for the 1983 murders of Arizona couple Marine Capt. Robert and Cheryl Bravence. Both Mark and his brother, Bryan, were convicted in a 1984 trial on the murders.
Following subsequent appeals, Mark's case was retried in 2008 where he was again convicted on the murders. On appeal, Bryan's sentence was reduced to life in prison, and he is tentative to be released on parole in 2018, pending review by the Idaho Commission on Pardons and Parole.
The Bravence family is campaigning for public support to place pressure on the commission to reverse its decision and deny Bryan, 55, parole.

Available in a variety of woods to suit different recipes, these bisquettes arrive in a pack of 120.
- Five Flavor variety pack includes 24 each of: apple, alder, mesquite, hickory and maple wood
- Alder bisquettes are most commonly used with fish and seafood because of their milder flavor, and can also be used when smoking pork and poultry. The light, slightly sweeter flavor provides a smooth flavor for your food
- Apple wood bisquettes produce a lighter, fruity and slightly sweet aroma. A member of the fruit tree family, apple wood is traditionally used when smoking port and poultry and can produce some of the best smoked ribs
- Cherry wood is both sweet and flavorful. It pairs perfectly with chicken and cheese, and can also provide a mild smoked flavor for beef and pork
- Hickory, a popular wood for smoking that's considered by many to be the best wood for pork, boasts a rich flavor that's excellent with any meat
- Jim Beam bisquettes are made from the oak barrels of Jim Beam Bourbon
- Maple, a favorite for smoked salmon, is also great when smoking a tuna steak, seafood, poultry, wild turkey, vegetables and cheese
- Mesquite has a strong, hearty smoke flavor which complements beef, venison and wild game but can also be used with fish, pork and poultry. Nothing says Texas like mesquite-cooked beef brisket.
- Oak bisquettes are rich in flavor and excellent with wild game or beef
- Pacific blend bisquettes produce a light smoke that's perfect for poultry and seafood
- Pecan, a cousin to Hickory wood, is a winner with wild boar, pork, beef, venison or poultry
- Special Blend bisquettes are the all-purpose bisquettes of the Bradley Smoker line—they complement everything well!

text: Q: How can I get a copy of my transcript? A: A complimentary official transcript is sent electronically to all participants in Foundation activities at the beginning of each year. Due to high demand for duplicate copies, we charge a $35 fee for each additional transcript requested after March 31st. To order a transcript, please complete the attach form and return it by fax to 703-519-1570 or email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Q: I never received a copy of my CME credit for a specific meeting or activity. Why didnt I receive them and can I still get a copy? A: We do not automatically send out CME certificates or credit reports for each individual education activity. We provide an official transcript to all participants at the beginning of each year documenting all activities and credit for the entire year. If you require a certificate for a specific course, please contact the Education Department at email@example.com. Q: Why is the credit for some of the activities on my transcript listed as zero? A: There may be two reasons for this. First, when you completed your post-test or evaluation you may have neglected to list how much credit you earned for the education activity. We cannot automatically assign credit; therefore it is listed as zero. To update your credit, please contact the Education Department at firstname.lastname@example.com. Second, if the course was an enduring material (AcademyU, HSC, PMP) you are required to pass a post-test with a score of 70%. If you did not, you would receive no credit for the activity. You should have been notified about this and there are retest options available. To find out if you did not pass a post-test, please contact the Education Department email@example.com. Q: How can I accumulate significant number of CME/CE credit in a short period of time? A: We have a broad selection of activities and products that offer CME/CE credit, visit our Professional Development for a full listing of all education products. Q: How much CME credit do I need to earn each year in order to retain my medical license? A:The AAO-HNSF does not track continuing education requirements for the different state licensing organizations. You may find the resources provided by The Federation of State Medical Boards useful in researching this question. Q: How much credit do I need to retain my AAO-HNS Membership? A: None. The AAO-HNS has no continuing education requirements for membership. Q: Can I report hours reading professional journals or non-Foundation online study for CME credit on my transcript? A: These are activities that may be self-reported as AMA PRA Category 2 Credit for the AMA Physician's Recognition Award. The Foundation does not formally designate these activities for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit and therefore they will not appear on your AAO-HNSF transcript. Q: How is the AAO-HNS different from the ABOto? A: The AAO-HNS is a membership organization that offers continuing education and other services. The ABOto is the specialty's certification body. Q: How can I join an Education Committee? A: In the fall of each year, Academy members have the opportunity to apply to serve on one of several committees, eight of which are education committees based on each subspecialty within otolaryngology. The Education Steering Committee (ESC) reviews these applications and recommends to the Board of Directors who should serve on each of the eight education committees. Visit our Professional Development page to learn more. Q: Do you have education programs for me to use at my hospital for non-otolaryngologist training? A: We have a number of education activities aimed at the non-otolaryngologist and allied health professionals described on our Education Homepage. You can also contact The Society of Otorhinolaryngology and HeadNeck Nurses or the Society for Physician Assistants in Otolaryngology for more information on continuing education for these health professionals. Q: I am preparing for the ABOtos Maintenance of Certificate exam. Are there Foundation resources that would help with exam preparation? A: Many existing AAO-HNSF education activities would assist a person undergoing maintenance of certification, including examination preparation and lifelong learning. Q: My practice is seeking ICA accreditation for CT imaging. What resources does the Foundation have that will help me meet the continuing education requirements? A: The Foundation has many education activities that would assist in meeting the ICA continuing education requirements. For an overview of the Foundations education program, please visit the Professional Development. For a current list of all AAO-HNSF education activities, visit EProfessional Development

Congress Just Sold You Out: Leadership Plans To Extend Patriot Act For Four Years With NO Concessions
from the oh-come-on dept
The deal between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker John Boehner calls for a vote before May 27, when parts of the current act expire, according to officials in both parties who spoke on condition of anonymity. The idea is to pass the extension with as little debate as possible to avoid a protracted and familiar argument over the expanded power the law gives to the government.So, let's see. The government grants itself the power to abuse the 4th Amendment and spy on people with little oversight, and it would prefer that there not be any debate over this, because pesky people might raise the fact that this is wide open for abuse, and the senators don't want to have to talk about that.

She was sure he'd thought you just arranged to go somewhere nice with a mate and paid for the pop and crisps. And all that was very enjoyable of course, but she'd got other things planned too!
And boy was he surprised! In fact he thought a less broad-minded individual might've been shocked about some of the things that'd happened: some nice, some gross and all of them dead embarrassing!
But how was he supposed to know what went on on a first date? It was his first first date, after all!

Determining Active Directory group membership from SQL Server 2005
Have you ever needed to determine an authenticated user's Active Directory (AD) group memberships from within SQL Server?
It makes sense if you are able to utilise AD to decide a user's role or permissions in an application. This reduces the development time required to develop a custom permissions model, and allows the helpdesk, maintenance and operations team keep track of user privileges from one place.
It seems SQL Server 2005 does not have an out of box solution to this. Searching the various support forums and search engines lead me down the Managed .NET assembly route. Microsoft calls this building a database object with common language runtime (CLR) integration.
You may be asking yourselves… why not go down the SQL Server Integration Services route to gather an export from Active Directory… why would you query LDAP each time a query in SQL Server is executed? These are important design decisions that are really down to the required functionality.
You can find out another way to achieve this here: How To Get Active Directory Users and Groups Using SQL Server Integration Services SSIS 2005
Ok, so I am now going to build a CLR assembly in Visual Studio 2008 with the target framework set to .NET 3.5. SQL Server 2005 is actually .NET 2.0 targeted, but 3.5 uses the same CLR engine, so we are able to make use of things like LINQ and additional Active Directory components. [more on this later].
1: namespace SpittingCAML.SQLCLR.DatabaseAssemblies

46: }
47: }
48: }
Code Snippet 1 – the assembly that will be built into a DLL in Visual Studio 2008 (download a copy here: ADIntegration.cs)
The code snippet creates a class 'ADIntegration' in the 'SpittingCAML.SQLCLR.DatabaseAssemblies' namespace. This is important to remember, as it is required later when registering the assembly.
The functionality of this method is as follows:
- User calls the method with the user name, domain and user group as parameters
- System determines if supplied user is a member of the supplied user group for the supplied domain
- System returns boolean true if user is a member and boolean false if not a member.
- The method code is shamelessly stolen from StackOverflow, user huseyint. The rest is down to the style conventions of my organisation.
I have tagged the method 'IsGroupMember' with the '[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlFunction] tag to let SQL server know this is intended to be used in place of a typical SQL Server function.
One your assembly is built, it is almost ready to be put into a database of your choice, as an object. You'll notice we make use of LINQ and Directory Services. However, since SQL Server 2005 is targeting .NET 2.0 it is necessary for you to install some pre-requisites in order to gain access to .NET 3.5 features. It should also be noted that not all .NET 2.0 features are available in SQL Server 2005, as the code has to meet certain criteria to be included in the 'safe' category.
Read more about safe, unsafe and external access assemblies: here.
The pre-requisites required are:
CLR enabled must be set on your database server – this enables CLR assemblies
The target database must be set to TRUSTWORTHY to allow UNSAFE assemblies to be run against it.
System.Core [.NET 3.5 core components]
System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement [.NET 3.5 Active Directory specific methods]
System.DirectoryServices.Protocols [.NET 2.0 dependancy of System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement]
System.DirectoryServices [.NET 2.0 dependancy of System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement]
The pre-requisites are typically found in the install folders for .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5
1: -- must enable CLR on the database
3: EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options' , '1';
4: go
5: reconfigure;
6: go
7: EXEC sp_configure 'clr enabled' , '1'
8: go
9: reconfigure;
11: DECLARE @dbName NVARCHAR(255)
12: SET @dbName = '<database name here>'
13: DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(4000)
15: SET @sql = 'USE ' + @dbName;
17: -- must make database trustworthy
19: EXEC sp_executesql @sql
20: EXEC sp_changedbowner 'sa'
21: SET @sql = 'ALTER DATABASE ' + @dbName + ' SET TRUSTWORTHY ON;'
22: EXEC sp_executesql @sql
26: DECLARE @DotNet2Folder NVARCHAR(1000)
27: DECLARE @DotNet35Folder NVARCHAR(1000)
28: DECLARE @path NVARCHAR(4000)
30: SET @DotNet2Folder = 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727'
31: SET @DotNet35Folder = 'C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.5'
34: --if the [System.Core] assembly exists then drop it
35: IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.assemblies WHERE [name] = 'System.Core')
36: DROP ASSEMBLY [System.Core]
38: --if the [System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement] assembly exists then drop it
39: IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.assemblies WHERE [name] = 'System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement')
40: DROP ASSEMBLY [System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement]
42: --if the [System.DirectoryServices.Protocols] assembly exists then drop it
43: IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.assemblies WHERE [name] = 'System.DirectoryServices.Protocols')
44: DROP ASSEMBLY [System.DirectoryServices.Protocols]
46: --if the [System.DirectoryServices] assembly exists then drop it
47: IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.assemblies WHERE [name] = 'System.DirectoryServices')
48: DROP ASSEMBLY [System.DirectoryServices]
50: CREATE ASSEMBLY [System.Core]
51: FROM @DotNet35Folder + '\system.core.dll'
52: WITH permission_set = UNSAFE
54: CREATE ASSEMBLY [System.DirectoryServices.Protocols]
55: FROM @DotNet2Folder + '\System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.dll'
58: CREATE ASSEMBLY [System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement]
59: FROM @DotNet35Folder + '\System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.dll'
60: WITH permission_set = UNSAFE
62: CREATE ASSEMBLY [System.DirectoryServices]
63: FROM @DotNet2Folder + '\System.DirectoryServices.dll'
Code Snippet 2: running the above T-SQL script will enable CLR on the database server, ensure the database you are going to be using assemblies in is trustworthy and registers the pre-requisite components. (download a copy here: ActiveDirectory_PreReqs.sql)
If you make use of the code snippet you'll need to supply your database name and the locations of the .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5 DLLs. The pre-requisites are installed in UNSAFE mode since they contain code that is not certified safe. If you try to register the assemblies as SAFE you will be presented with an error showing the areas of the code that are not certified safe.
We are now ready to deploy our assembly that contains the code in Code Snippet 1.
1: DECLARE @dbName NVARCHAR(255)
2: SET @dbName = '<database name here>'
4: DECLARE @assemFolder NVARCHAR(1000)
5: SET @assemFolder = '<assembly folder here>'
7: -- have to drop the function first because you can't delete the assembly
8: -- when the function is dependant on it
10: FROM sysobjects
11: WHERE name = N'udf_IsGroupMember')
12: DROP FUNCTION dbo.[udf_IsGroupMember]
14: --if the [SpittingCAML.SQLCLR.DatabaseAssemblies] assembly exists then drop it
15: IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.assemblies WHERE [name] = 'SpittingCAML.SQLCLR.DatabaseAssemblies')
16: DROP ASSEMBLY [SpittingCAML.SQLCLR.DatabaseAssemblies]
18: CREATE ASSEMBLY [SpittingCAML.SQLCLR.DatabaseAssemblies]

Code Snippet 3: Deploying our assembly and creating a stub that will allow standard SQL stored procedures and functions call our assembly method as if it was a standard SQL function. (download a copy here: Deploy_Assembly.sql)
You will need to edit code snippet 3 with the database name and the folder that you have built the assembly [created by Code Snippet 1] to.
Once you have run this script, you are in the position to test it.
1: DECLARE @user nvarchar(1000)
2: DECLARE @domain nvarchar(1000)
3: DECLARE @groupName nvarchar(1000)
5: -- TODO: Set parameter values here.
7: set @user = 'testuser'
8: set @domain = 'mydomain'
9: set @groupName = 'mygroup'
11: SELECT [dbo].[udf_IsGroupMember](@user, @domain, @groupName)
Code Snippet 4: testing the deployment was successful. (download a copy here: Test_Assembly.sql)
Set the parameters to something more meaningful to your Active Directory, and supply a valid domain and give it a go.
Now we have a useful function to utilise alongside standard T-SQL functions. I use it to replace legacy function calls to proprietary permission models to reduce maintenance costs!
Hope this helps you out! Enjoy

Sergio Ramos scored in the dying minutes to take the game to extra-time after Diego Godin's first-half header before the world's most expensive players helped seal the win
Diego Godin capitalised on a dreadful error from Iker Casillas to head home shortly before the end of the first half, but Ramos powered home from a corner in the dying minutes of normal time to keep Madrid's Decima dream alive.
With less than 10 minutes remaining in additional time, Bale headed into the top corner after Angel Di Maria's shot was saved by Thibaut Courtois before Marcelo buried a late left-footed strike and Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty to seal Madrid's first Champions League trophy since 2002.
Victory means Ancelotti has now won Europe's top prize as coach on three occasions, making him the most successful in the modern tournament's history, while Atletico were left to rue another late goal in European football's showpiece. The club's only other final appearance, in 1974, saw Bayern Munich force a replay – which they won 4-0 - with a 120th-minute goal.
Much of the pre-match talk surrounded the fitness of stars Ronaldo and Diego Costa, but both started, although Arda Turan was not so lucky and missed out with a knee problem.
Simeone's experiment to start Costa – who travelled to Serbia for specialist treatment on a niggling hamstring injury in the build-up – quickly backfired, though, as the striker limped off in the ninth minute and was replaced by Adrian Lopez.
Chances were few and far between in a cagey first 30 minutes before a sloppy Tiago error saw the contest come to life, with the midfielder conceding possession in his own half, only for Bale, after a menacing run, to shoot wide.
And Bale's missed chance proved costly in the 36th minute as Godin gave Atletico the lead against the run of play.
Real failed to clear a corner and Juanfran's header back into the box caught them napping, meaning goalkeeper Casillas had to come storming off his line.
He was too late to win the ball, though, and agonisingly saw Godin beat Sami Khedira and put a looping header over him and, eventually, over the line.
Thibaut Courtois had to be alert to tip over a deflected Ronaldo free kick in the 54th minute and the Real talisman spurned two more opportunities in the next 60 seconds, firing a snapshot wide before producing a wayward header.
First, Bale lashed wide before Ronaldo fired over with a scissor-kick and the chances kept coming as another storming run from the former ended with an errant shot.
Desperate blocks were the order of the day as far as Atletico were concerned, but Real's perseverance eventually paid off as Ramos superbly planted a header in the bottom-left corner from Luka Modric's corner to force extra time.
And the added half-hour proved crucial as Real hit the lead with 10 minutes remaining through Bale, who raced to the far post after the brilliant Di Maria's shot was partially saved to head in.
Marcelo then made his mark before Ronaldo, who had already claimed the record for the most strikes in a Champions League season, sealed victory with his 17th goal of the campaign.

Santa Barbara, Calif. -
New Zealand Soccer announced two weeks ago the 23-man roster for the upcoming 2004 Nations Cup and the 2006 World Cup Qualifying and among those names were UC Santa Barbara student athletes Neil Jones (Auckland, NZ) and Tony Lochhead (Tauranga, NZ). Both players are coming off a successful campaign with New Zealand's Olympic Squad that was within one goal of qualifying for the 2004 Games. The naming of Jones to the full National Team for the upcoming tournaments is his first, while Lochhead will be receiving his second international cap with the All Whites.
A proven goal scorer with the Gauchos, Jones represents a movement by All Whites head coach Mick Waitt towards a more youthful squad to represent New Zealand's finest international soccer players. "I am extremely excited and proud [to be selected]," said Jones, "One of the reasons I came to the United States was to a pursue to a professional career and further my international career. Playing for the All Whites is something that I have been striving to reach for a long time. [Being selected] makes all my hard work and sacrifice worth while."
Lochhead, Jones and the rest of the team report to camp in Adelaide, New Zealand on May 26th, with the Oceania Nations Cup beginning on May 29th and running through June 6th.

php - libphp5.so
first of all:
I've tried searching in these forums but I didn't come to a solution.
yesterday I was installing some stuff in my openbsd server (libiconv, which took me hours to make), and doing so I probably changed some stuff like 'ld', rights or CGFLAGS.
Now, apachectl won't start anymore (it started before I did this, and I didn't change anything to php)
# apachectl start
Syntax error on line 1 of /var/www/conf/modules/php5.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so into server: Cannot load specified object
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
the file is in place, and i chmodded 777 to it.
(7904 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 4028450 Jul 1 2009 libphp5.so)
What can I do?
The built in apache is chrooted by default. See FAQ 10.16. Then, place your php library in the right directory.
(Why are you building by hand instead of using packages?)
apachectl has worked before. I didn't change any file location that was linked to apache, I only changed something to 'ld' (which I don't really understand, although I read the doc/manpage 100 times, there's just so many wrong information on google, different versions, ...) and CFLAGS.
But I'll look into it. I read in the faq:
I'll try to change the file location and then report back!
why I am building by hand: I don't know. I think I've used packages before, but its not my daily occupation to operate OpenBSD, it's just the server I manage in my residence, and I try to add something from time to time. Also, not every app is available as package. Libiconv might have been, but I downloaded 10 versions before I got some other, dependant program to build/make, and find the lib (I got the undefined reference error).
edit: gave it a shot:
# apachectl start
Syntax error on line 1 of /var/www/conf/modules/php5.conf:
Cannot load /var/www/lib/php/libphp5.so into server: Cannot load specified object
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
edit2: since its chrooted to /var/www, it sees that as a root, changed file path:
# apachectl start
Syntax error on line 1 of /var/www/conf/modules/php5.conf:
Cannot load /lib/php/libphp5.so into server: File not found
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
then changed path to lib/php/libphp5.so instead of /lib/php/libphp5.so
# apachectl start
Syntax error on line 1 of /var/www/conf/modules/php5.conf:
Cannot load /var/www/lib/php/libphp5.so into server: Cannot load specified object
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

I don't know what kind of Frankensystem you have created for yourself with whatever you did, or thought you were doing.. Nor am I a php user.
Nevertheless, try this:
# mkdir -p /var/www/usr/local/lib/php # cp -p /usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so /var/www/usr/local/lib/php
# apachectl start
Syntax error on line 1 of /var/www/conf/modules/php5.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so into server: Cannot load specified object
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
OK. Let us now back up, and find out what kind of monster you created in your laboratory, Dr. F. I'll play Igor:
1. I don't even know what the ports tree is. Reading FAQ 15 did not even look familiar to something I did. I downloaded the software several times, from different locations (openbsd ftp, libiconv homepage, and finally source forge). When I downloaded these files I had to run './configure', 'make', 'make install', but the first 10 the make failed because of 'undefined reference to libiconv'. I googled this error 100 times but did not come any close to an answer, untill eventually I added libiconv to the LIBS variable in the makefile. (so yes, I built it manually)
2. I just read FAQ 15.4.1 and FAQ 5 (skimmed). I installed openbsd from the cd, release 4.6. The only thing I modified was some crontabs, some pf rule-files, added a forum (mysql, apache), installed dsniff for security perposes. I did not do anything which comes even close to a 'tree'.
3. well, I guess this is where the problem lies, as I mentioned earlier.

4. I like openbsd and its results because it does what you expect it to. I am quite new to unix systems however, although I would like a osx-like linux system (one which does not only work through commands, osx has nice visuals but not too fancy like windows 7/vista. That is why atm I am still sticking to XP, which is fast, clean, and easy to use to me). In the errors/problems I encountered, google was not even close to being a help. I found 100 similar problems with a solution that just would help, was invalid, or even without a solution (undefined reference libiconv, ..).
I hope, through this process, that I am gaining experience with unix-based systems. I am also very happy I found this forum and you are willing to help me. Thanks!!
Most of the code found in the wild is not written in a generic POSIX style & increasing is Linux-specific. Even the filesystem layout between Linux, OS X, & the various members of the *BSD family are different. Most code found in the wild does not take this into consideration.
Likewise, the libraries expected & common in one environment are most likely not the same between environments.
Yes, one can grab code from about the Internet & port it to OpenBSD, but this takes time, knowledge, & experience. Some projects can be simple to port; others aren't.
in my current situation it is not really important how secure my server is (although atm is can still be called very secure). I am not at a big company, I live in a student home and we share 1 4mbit connection among 60 people. I am using openbsd mainly to block protocols/websites that generate the most traffic (limewire, torrents, rapidshare, ..).
to block rapidshare, I installed dnsiff for dns spoofing, also I blocked their ip range in the PF.
There are no hackers among us, and even if there were, it would require someone with thorough knowledge to even try to do something to get through.
Atm I am also not able to have physical access to the server, since I am not the owner of the building I live in, and it is located in the basement.
I can connect to the server using putty though.
So, the only thing I would like to do is limit the internet connection from the inside (during day), so the internet stays accessible to all users.
Also I installed darkstat to monitor bandwidth usage per IP.
The problem is that for these very usefull applications (in my case), there is not always a openbsd version available. I understand that when it comes to a corporation which needs to be secured from the outside as well from the inside, no flaws can be allowed.
I hope I haven't frankensteinized the system too much by trial-and-erroring my way through the applications (but I think not).
You can be helped. Things might even be recoverable/correctable, without too much trouble.
Step 1 is damage assessment.
First, let us figure out if your built-in tool chain has been damaged. If not, you may be able to recover.
Start with this command:
sysctl kern.versionYou will get a two line response, telling you who, when, where built your kernel. If you are running -release, and have not updated your kernel (and since you've just started reading the FAQ today, probably not), carefully note the date that kernel was built. When releases are built, the first thing that is executed is a kernel build.
Now jump through the following critical directories, one at a time, and issue this command, which lists the contents of the directory, most recent updates at the bottom: ls -ltr
If you've mucked about in /usr/local, we can recover that.
I ask you to check this because you mentioned apachectl, which in a standard OpenBSD system is the management command for the built-in Apache web server. Yet you also mentioned building Apache. Those who absolutely require Apache2 can of course use the =packaged= version, where that command is called apachectl2, to avoid confusion and to allow simultaneous use with the audited, chrooted, built-in Apache server.
Your use of the same name sent us both down the wrong path, I think. But what's most important, recovery-wise, is if the built-in Apache and other executables have been overlaid.
As far as a nice graphical systems go... I have to grin. Not that you already probably don't feel sheepish enough, having designed your own kit cars to do something while the rest of us have been taking jet flights (as installing php and mysql packages can be done in a single command, no building needed), but Unix has had a graphical system since 1984, called the X Windows System, which BSDs inherited. Not only that, it was always networked graphics, from day one, meaning the display computer and the execution computer need not be the same. X Windows is a graphical infrastructure, you typically install a window manager and a tool set, though OpenBSD has a few simple ones built-in. I don't like any of those, and install one or another on workstations; choosing the environment based on the workstation's intended use.
The last time I checked the package lists for window managers and window management systems for OpenBSD was about six years ago, and there were more than 40 different ones to choose from then. I haven't looked since, but I'm sure the number is closer to 100 now. Hell, you can even try five common ones from my Live Media downloads, link in my .sig below.
There's an active thread on window managers here with some recent updates, even today: http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=3547
There was an old thread on "OpenBSD screenshots" also, but to be honest, the underlying OS doesn't matter to what you see, whatever you choose: http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=1525
Hint: Yes, there's a FAQ on using the X Windows System. You may want to read it, before delving into installing it (once your system is repaired or reinstalled).
As for your ldconfig results, you're missing all your /usr/local libraries -- of which the php library was one. Easy enough to fix (this example shows an X Windows library structure also, eliminate if you don't have it because you did not install the X infrastructure when you installed the OS):
# ldconfig /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib
Afterwards, run ldconfig -r and see if it's picked up your local libraries. If you have more applications with more libraries in more places, add them to the list.
One last item:
ldconfig is executed by /etc/rc -- a system file you were not supposed to ever touch, but you might have.
If unmolested, a reboot should reestablish the shared library cache, automatically.

I might have ever opened the ld hints file and added something, but never touched the rc though.
if adding the ...php subdirectory doesn't help resolve the problem, then I'm out of ideas.

None of us are really sure about the state of your system, how it was modified, really you chose to do something unsupported and for that reason you're on your own with the fix.
The easiest method would be a reinstall, it is difficult for remote system, you may want to schedule a date to get physical access.. otherwise, you could try using the yaifo project.
It is unofficial but it works over SSH vs glass (..real) or serial consoles, it will allow a clean reinstall so that you can use packages (..which are built from ports) instead of manually compiling everything.
okay, thanks for your help/time.
at least now I have learnt something for my future projects
ps: I have not used 'ldconfig', but I have been using 'ld' specifically. I've been browsing the manual but I don't even know what I really did (like I said earlier, 'random' commands). Maybe I have misguided you by not mentioning this before, and perhaps you might come up with something we left unchecked. If not, too bad, and I will leave apache as it is.
Next: repairing /usr/local. (Repairing /var will be left up to you, moving your database around, etc. and other such administrative activities).
Step 1. Obtain the base46.tgz file set for your i386 architecture system from <your nearest OpenBSD mirror>/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/i386/base46.tgz
Step 2: Unpack it into its own directory structure, wherever there is room, keeping all of the permissions and ownerships:
# mkdir -p <path to directory for the base files>Step 3: Reboot in single user mode. At the boot> prompt, type -s. Hit the Enter key at the prompts until you get the shell.
Step 4: Mount your standard filesystems read/write. This should include both /usr/local and your <path to directory for base files>
# mount -aStep 5: clear /usr/local of all files:
# cd /usr/localStep 6: copy a clean structure over from the unpacked base files>
# cp -pR <path to directory for base files>/usr/local .Step 7: reboot or exit the shell to start up multiuser mode
Step 8: add php and mysql from packages
# export PKG_PATH=ftp://<your nearest mirror>/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/packages/i386/Step 9: Restore your php/mysql/other enviroments.
yep, that is indeed what I should do. However I do not find the time nor opportunity at this moment (or the coming) to do this, since the owner is not keen on 'changing something that works' (he likes the server as is).
but definetely, my next server will only use openbsd packages.
also, while still searching for a solution, I encountered this:
# cd /usr/local/lib/php/ # man ldd ... # ldd libphp5.so libphp5.so: Cannot load specified object
if it is not, I'm gonna leave it as is. Maybe when I get a chance I will repair my frankenstein, and get it back to life
edit: going to bed now thx again for all the help!

On Wednesday morning (May 21), just as he'd promised for weeks, President Bush vetoed the nearly $300 billion farm bill passed overwhelmingly by Congress.
"I veto this bill fully aware that it is rare for a stand-alone farm bill not to receive the President's signature, but my action today is not without precedent," Bush said in a letter to Congress. "In 1956, President Eisenhower stood firmly on principle, citing high crop subsidies and too much government control of farm programs among the reasons for his veto. President Eisenhower wrote in his veto message, 'Bad as some provisions of this bill are, I would have signed it if in total it could be interpreted as sound and good for farmers and the nation.' For similar reasons, I am vetoing the bill before me today."
Shortly after Bush rejected the bill, deputy USDA secretary Chuck Conner told reporters "this massive spending package — coming at a time of escalating food prices and gas closing on nearly $4 per gallon — in our opinion is simply unacceptable. The President stated time and again that he would not accept a farm bill that fails to reform our farm programs at a time when farm income and crop prices are setting records. He has remained true to his word.
"It is irresponsible to ask the American taxpayer, who is struggling to make ends meet, to subsidize farm couples and those who make more than $1 million a year. Simply put, this is bad policy and it is unfair policy."
Conner insisted that as more details of the 1,700-page "spending bill" surface "we learn more about the taxpayer abuses and unsound policies in the bill. Just recently, it was brought to light that a $170 million earmark for the salmon industry was slipped into the bill in the dead of night. It joins other egregious earmarks."
In his letter, Bush listed some of those: "$175 million to address water issues for desert lakes; $250 million for a 400,000-acre land purchase from a private owner; funding and authority for the non-competitive sale of national forest land to a ski resort; and $382 million earmarked for a specific watershed."
Before calling on Congress to extend current law, Conner claimed last-minute changes to the farm bill had been made. This includes the "so-called ACRE farm subsidy program that will likely result in tens of billions of dollars of new government outlays in the future…Under our cost analysis, if we return to $3 per bushel corn — and that's much higher than the five-year average market price for corn — this bill would have an additional $10 billion of outlays just for one crop. We'd have similar proportions for wheat, soybeans and rice."
Conner was asked if the White House was lobbying pro-farm bill Republicans to switch their vote. He didn't respond directly but admitted sustaining the veto "will be an uphill climb and we've been saying that. Certainly, nothing in the last few days made us think differently … We've been making our case to individual members of Congress. We've been making it in a very public way trying to make sure before they cast a vote to override that members of Congress understand the details of the bill.
"I think we've managed to do that. They understand a lot more of the details than they did when first voting for the bill. I might add that initial passage was voted on less than 24 hours after the bill language became available."
Despite White House charges, Republican farm bill conferees weren't persuaded.
Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss, ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said he is "deeply disappointed that (Bush) has accepted the imprudent counsel of his advisors and has rejected the farm bill … In any bill of this magnitude all parties must accept some compromise."
Another Republican conferee, Louisiana Rep. Charles Boustany, said not only does the new bill have increased oversight but also "is a responsible piece of legislation for the American taxpayer, and it is a sound bill for our nation's farmers and ranchers. I wish the President wasn't wrong on this, but I will work to override the veto to ensure the farm bill becomes law."
Unsurprisingly, conferees from the majority party were just as dismissive of the Bush veto.
"For reasons passing understanding, (the Bush) administration refuses to recognize the will of the American people," said North Dakota Sen. Kent Conrad. "To veto this farm bill that features needed reform while providing for the hungry and our children is disappointing."
By vetoing the bill, the White House "has shown a willing disregard for rural America. It has turned its back on the hungry and undercut American farmers and ranchers. The (Bush) administration has demonstrated an inability to lead on this issue.
"I look forward to overriding the President's veto and ensuring this quality farm bill becomes law."
Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee said with all the "critical investments and reforms in this bill that have won support from both parties, from every region of the country, and from rural and urban members of Congress alike, the president's veto of this measure is an attempt to deny America these forward-looking initiatives at a time when the country needs them the most."
A veto override vote is expected in the next few days. A successful override requires two-thirds of the House and Senate.
