Tony Hall writing book about his anti-hunger drive
Hall, who in 2002 became the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture, is writing the book with Tom Price, a longtime reporter for The Journal Herald and Dayton Daily News who first began covering Hall in 1975, when Hall was an Ohio state senator. The book, Changing the Face of Hunger: One Man's Story of How Liberals, Conservatives, Democrats, Republicans and People of Faith are Joining Forces to Help the Hungry, the Poor and the Oppressed, will include personal anecdotes about Hall's travels, and will talk about his faith and how that faith kept him motivated to work to end hunger.

Dayton Daily News
WASHINGTON -- When then-U.S. Rep. Tony Hall headed a House task force on international hunger in the mid-1980s, he received reports of a devastating famine in Ethiopia. Seven thousand were dying each day of starvation.
Hall could not imagine such devastation. Accompanied only by an aide, he flew to Ethiopia and watched at one compound as thousands of parents held up their babies and begged a doctor to save their children. The doctor had the resources to save five or six.
"I never got over that," Hall said, remembering the day more than 20 years later.
It was the beginning of a life's mission that continues today, and now Hall, a Dayton-area Democrat who served nearly 24 years in Congress, is writing about it in a book scheduled to be published next April by W Publishing Group, an imprint of Thomas Nelson Inc. Thomas Nelson is a leading publisher and distributor of books emphasizing Christian and inspirational themes.
Hall, who in 2002 became the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture, is writing the book with Tom Price, a longtime reporter for The Journal Herald and Dayton Daily News who first began covering Hall in 1975, when Hall was an Ohio state senator.
The book, Changing the Face of Hunger: One Man's Story of How Liberals, Conservatives, Democrats, Republicans and People of Faith are Joining Forces to Help the Hungry, the Poor and the Oppressed, will include personal anecdotes about Hall's travels, and will talk about his faith and how that faith kept him motivated to work to end hunger.
Price noted that the book comes during an era of renewed focus on famine in Africa.
Hall said he hopes the book spurs interest in volunteering and working for people who are hurting. But he also said the book is about his personal faith.
Hall, who has three times been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, said he initially became involved in public service when he was in the Peace Corps in the late 1960s. It was his trip to Ethiopia that really spurred his interest in hunger.
"What we did -- what I saw -- goes from Ethiopia to the Congo to North Korea to Dayton, Ohio," he said.
During his trips, Hall kept journals. Years after he began them, he told Price about them.
"I'd been keeping them for my kids, really, and my grandchildren," he said.

LONDON — London's St Paul's Cathedral and the city authorities suspended legal action Tuesday against anti-capitalist protesters camped outside the historic landmark.
The management of St Paul's said it unanimously agreed to suspend its current legal action against the demonstrators who have turned the churchyard into a sprawling campsite and triggered turmoil in the cathedral hierarchy.
The head of St. Paul's quit on Monday after facing criticism for attempts to move on the protesters, who are inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement in the United States.
"The resignation of the dean, the Right Reverend Graeme Knowles, has given the opportunity to reassess the situation," the cathedral said in a statement.
It said its decision would "demonstrate that St Paul's intends to engage directly and constructively with the protesters… without the threat of forcible eviction hanging over both the camp and the church."
The Occupy London Stock Exchange (OLSX) group pitched up in the churchyard two weeks ago. Around 200 multi-coloured tents are spread out by the entrance and the north side of Christopher Wren's masterpiece.
The City of London Corporation local authority was expected to hand a letter to the protesters on Tuesday asking them to remove their tents.
Howeever, Stuart Fraser, the corporation's policy chairman, said it decided to press "pause" on its legal action after St. Paul's changed its stance on the matter.
"We've pressed the 'pause' button overnight on legal action affecting the highways — in order to support the cathedral as an important national institution and give time for reflection," Fraser said in a statement.
"We're hoping to use a pause — probably of days not weeks — to work out a measured solution," he added.
The dispute over the protesters has plunged the Anglican church into crisis as it wrings its hands over how to handle the demonstrators while maintaining its principles.
Knowles became the third churchman to quit over the issue in the space of a week, saying his position had become "untenable".
An OLSX spokesman said the protesters were relaxed about any moves to clear the camp.
"We're committed to dialogue and open public debate," 27-year-old freelance writer Ian Chamberlain told AFP.
"We are determined to stay as long as we're useful. Tactics to do so may involve a legal challenge.
"More than nine out of 10 agree with us. The odd one is irritated by our presence here, but the vast majority enjoy our presence here.
"We've got support from a wide cross section of society, including some church leaders.
"We'll stay as long as we can, as long as it's worthwhile is being here."
Overnight Monday, around 50 of the protesters, dressed as zombie bankers, marched into the city to mark Hallowe'en.
They danced to Michael Jackson's 1984 hit "Thriller", stopping traffic outside the Bank of England. Police moved them on but they resurrected the dance outside the Royal Bank of Scotland's offices.
Some protesters said they would relish the prospect of legal action.
"A court case would probably highlight the plight even more," said Flo, 35, who declined to give her last name.
"We haven't got anything to lose, it's not like we've got jobs to go to, so going to court is giving us something to do," she said.

Emergency responder Christopher S. Duniphin, chief nursing officer at Skyline Hospital, recently completed Homeland Security training at the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) in Anniston, Ala.
The CDP is operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is the only federally-chartered "weapons of mass destruction" (WMD) training facility in the nation.
Health care and public health training is conducted at the CDP's Noble Training Facility, the nation's only hospital facility dedicated to training hospital and health care professionals in disaster preparedness and response.
Many of the training courses culminate at the CDP's Chemical, Ordnance, Biological, and Radiological Training Facility, the nation's only facility featuring civilian training exercises in a true toxic environment, using chemical agents. The advanced hands-on training enables responders to effectively prevent, respond to, and recover from real-world incidents involving acts of terrorism and other hazardous materials.
Duniphin said the training has been very beneficial.
"We need training to further prepare ourselves. Our EMS (emergency medical services) crew has taken training, and all the training is paid for by the federal government," Duniphin said.
Duniphin explained that the program helps prepare Skyline personnel for any of a number of possible emergency events, whether a wildlife, winter storms, power outages, earthquake, or an Amtrak derailment.
Responders attending CDP training are selected from the nation's 11 million emergency responders. Training at the CDP ensures that responders gain critical skills and confidence to be better prepared to effectively respond to local incidents or potential WMD incidents.
"It's based on likely emergency and multiple casualty events," Duniphin said. "We've been working with the Department of Health, Klickitat County Sheriff's Office, and local FEMA in development of emergency-based plans. The hope is to have a community-wide annual event with scenarios based on hazards and a vulnerability assessment."
FEMA coordinates the federal government's role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of terror.

I've been taking a lot of pictures lately, but mostly crappy ones. Practicing and testing out the different features and stuff. I probably could have bought a better camera than this one, but I really like it. It is better than my old one and that's what matters. And it takes nice pictures.
See this one? I stopped the other day at the LYS and guess what I found? I really only needed some dpns but couldn't resist my usual round at the store to pet my favorites, including the STR. I was digging through the colors and saw a familiar combination. Yes you got it, Puck's Mischief. There were two skeins and I immediately grabbed both.
I kinda carried them around the store for awhile in awe and excitement at such a find, and bought them both. So I'm really excited and need to decide what to do with them, but for now I'm just happy to have them.
In other news, I came home to this tonight. The kids were in Nick's room drawing.
Nick said this one is a horse. Do you see it? I thought that was pretty good! Alexis scribbled on it though lol. Those are all her scribbles to the right.
And this, this is a VOLCANO. Yep that's what he said.
Some other things he drew.
Alexis, drawing on herself...
So those are a few pics, still not the best but I've only been able to take pictures at night. So the full potential of the camera has yet to be shown. I'll give you this picture though. I was shaking/moving the camera a full foot back and forth when I took this one. Shows you how good it works!Ok well gotta go now, time to get my butt in bed and sleep for tomorrow morning (work...UGH I hate early morning).

It's inspirational and aspirational - I hope the rest of this week will be likewise for all participants in Educause '06.
Today - Sunday - has been my first full day in Dallas, with a chance to start exploring the city, probably the only chance during my brief stay this week. I took the opportunity of registering in the morning, whilst it was quiet, and then proceeded to head towards the Arts District a little to the NE of downtown, within walking distance of the hotel where I am staying. I spent several hours at the Dallas Museum of Art and what struck me was the spaciousness, making the art galleries I'm used to in the UK seem rather poky in comparison.
I took the above photo at the Nasher Sculpture Center. The artist is Jonathan Borofsky. I think it's very clever; at least everyone who walked in its vicinity gazed up for some while in reflection - few other sculptures seemed to receive the same acknowledgement. I think the clouds create an interesting effect, more interesting than simply a blue sky. Does anyone here play the game of spotting patterns in cloud formations...?
I've uploaded more photos in my MyWebLearn area - showing further sculptures and some of downtown.

Everyone, meet Ozzy. Ozzy, meet everyone. Ozzy is your typical robot (almost looks like a long lost cousin of Andy/Bugdroid), just floating around and doing his robot thing. Unfortunately for him, whoever built him left off that whole "ability to jump" thing. In its place, they gave him the power to suck things into his head using some robot technology, then dump it out at will. It is this that powers the engine that is Ozzy's Odyssey.
Ozzy's Odyssey is a physics-based platformer that puts you in control of the aforementioned Ozzy. Your goal in each level is to reach the exit while collecting as many batteries as you can. Batteries are what contribute to your score, so without them, you're just a jumpless robot bouncing from level to level.
The physics come into play namely when you've sucked something into that noggin of yours. The first one you come across is a barrel or a coin. (Something brown.) There's a switch somewhere you need to activate, but of course, you're either too tall to fit in the passage or you can't jump. Simply drop the item, push it, and sweet physics will send it careening into the switch, opening your path.
Like all games, the challenges and levels start off simple then become more and more difficult as advance through the levels. A few levels in you're presented with deadly spikes on the ground, but seeing as you can't jump, you've got to come up with a more innovative way to not get impaled.
If you do happen to lose a level, you're treated to a sad but goofy animation of Ozzy's head popping off, then you're free to restart the level. As far as I can tell there's no limit on how many lives you have, so you're free to try and fail as many times as you want before you inevitably succeed.
Ozzy's Odyssey looks great on phones and tablets both, and while you might feel silly holding a tablet while playing this, it really shines on the larger screen. The graphics are simple, but everything looks good, colors are nice, and it's really just a great gameplay experience. Plus, it's on sale.
Ozzy's Odyssey is 99 cents in the Android Market. We've got download links after the break.

Choose a button. Any button. Look at it carefully. Now find one word that you can use to describe your button. You could describe its colour, its shape or even the number of holes it has.
For each word we think of, we will make a card.
Now let's put one of those cards in a hoop – and if the word on the card is one that could be used to describe your button, pop your button in the hoop!
Is your button black?
(How many buttons are not black?)
Is your button square?
(How many buttons are square? And how many are not square?)
Does your button have 4 holes?
(How many buttons do not have 4 holes?)
And what about this one? Is your button blue?
(Have we managed to put all the blue buttons in the hoop? Can you find the one we missed?)
And now; what other labels do you think we made to describe our buttons?

1 O FOR a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame;
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
2 Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is that soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and his word?
3 What peaceful hours I then enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But now I find an aching void,
The world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
That drove thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.

A Short Account of the Origins of Deaf History International
by Clifton F. Carbin — A reprint from The DHI Newsletter No. 39 (Summer 2009): 4-5.
"Deaf History is a fascinating subject and interest has grown tremendously…"
Peter W. Jackson, Deaf author and editor of several publications pertaining to British Deaf History.
DEAF HISTORY INTERNATIONAL (DHI) owes its establishment to a group of interested people at the First International Conference on Deaf History, which was held at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. USA (June 20–23, 1991). This conference evolved from a suggestion made by Harlan Lane, a professor at Northeastern University in Boston. In the summer of 1989 at a meeting of professional and amateur historians engaged in the study of Deaf History during The Deaf Way Conference, he urged those attending to consider holding their own international meetings from time to time.
As an upshot, the Department of History at Gallaudet University expressed an interest and took the initiative to establish a planning committee for the First International Conference on Deaf History. Its two professors, John V. Van Cleve (also department head) and John S. Schuchman, stepped up to the plate in a huge way to plan and coordinate such an event. In attendance with them at the first formal meeting on September 6, 1990 were other invited organizers from Gallaudet, including Yerker Andersson (professor of Sociology and president of the World Federation of the Deaf), Clifton F. Carbin (holder of the 1990–1991 Powrie V. Doctor Chair of Deaf Studies), Jack R. Gannon (special assistant to the President for Advocacy), Joseph Kinner (associate professor of History) and Ausma Smits (assistant professor of History). Also, present were Harlan Lane (professor of Psychology and Linguistics, Northeastern University) and Cheri Sussman (Gallaudet interpreter).
A number of conference participants at the First International Conference on Deaf History met and decided that a formal organization with an election of international officers was needed to form an entity to "encourage the study, preservation and dissemination of Deaf people's history" and to hold subsequent conferences. This vision was accepted with much enthusiasm. As a result, an elected committee was set up to lay the groundwork. Members of this group were Christian Barral (France) and Jack R. Gannon (USA) as co-chairs, Mary Malzkhun (USA) as secretary, Günther List (Germany) as treasurer, Igor A. Abramov (Russia), Serge Briere (Canada), John Hay (Great Britain), Harlan Lane (USA), Hans Roehl (Germany), and Ausma Smits (USA).
The credit for the actual establishment of DEAF HISTORY INTERNATIONAL goes to Ausma Smits (USA), who untiringly did the "plowing and planting" to make it all happen. She called the meeting of historians at The Deaf Way Conference, drafted the Bylaws, set up groundwork committee meetings, and invited some key individuals for consultation and feedback.
DEAF HISTORY INTERNATIONAL was the committee's choice of a modern name for the newly formed organization, rather than using the common ending "… for/of the Deaf." Its Bylaws were proposed, reviewed, revised and tentatively approved by the committee members who convened while attending the First European Deaf History Conference in Rodez, France (July 6–12, 1992). The DHI Newsletter was first published in 1993 with the Spring/Summer issue and Ausma Smits (USA) was the editor. At that time, its masthead and logo were designed by DawnSign Press, an American company that was owned by a Deaf entrepreneur, Joe Dannis.
The first DHI business meeting was held during the Second Deaf History International Conference in Hamburg, Germany (October 1–4, 1994). It was chaired by Renate Fischer (Germany), who also arranged the use of international visual language interpreters — something for one and all to see and experience. The attendees formally voted to endorse the proposed name of the organization, DEAF HISTORY INTERNATIONAL. They also approved the Bylaws with some modifications. The following individuals elected to the first official DHI Bureau were: John Hay (Great Britain) as president, Ulf Hedberg (USA) as vice-president, Ausma Smits (USA) as secretary, Christian Barral (France) as treasurer, Igor A. Abramov (Russia), Brian Bernal (Australia), Annemieke van Brandenburg (The Netherlands), Renate Fischer (Germany) and Jochen Muhs (Germany). At that time, everyone agreed that their preferred mode of communication would be faxing which is a contrast to today's daily use of high-speed e-mailing.
Since then, DEAF HISTORY INTERNATIONAL has had its Bureau meetings and conferences every three years in different parts of the world: Washington, D.C. USA (1991), Hamburg, Germany (1994), Trondheim, Norway (1997), Washington, D.C. USA (2000), Paris, France (2003), Berlin, Germany (2006), Stockholm, Sweden (2009) and the next one will be in Toronto, Canada (2012). The DHI Newsletter, which is still being published a few times a year, is now available electronically as a PDF download to paid members only.
Any person, academic institution, school, library or organization interested in the history of Deaf people may become a member of DEAF HISTORY INTERNATIONAL. Membership includes subscription to The DHI Newsletter and some available discounts to triennial DHI Conferences. A note of interest — the original (1994) membership fee (in US funds) for an individual was $20 and for an institution/organization was $50. These amounts are unbelievably the same in 2009! Donations welcome!

What Is Royalty Free Music?
Royalty free music – also called Buyout Music – is a specific kind of Stock Music for which the user pays one upfront fee to purchase unlimited lifetime synchronization rights to the music – but does not purchase the music outright.
How Is Royalty Free Music Licensed?
You do not need to license the productions in which you use the music, there is no annual license fee and there are no additional fees when you use the music in your productions. But you do need to understand that you don't own the music and you are not permitted to give the music to anyone else for their productions, or to resell the music in an unsynchronized format.
Royalty Free Stock Music is most often used in commercials, multimedia projects & presentations. You can continue to use the music in any number of presentations that you create.
While it may appear that all licensing purchase options work via the honor system, in reality each Stock Music Library vigorously protects its proprietary material, and expects producers to use library music responsibly. In all cases, as a producer who uses licensed music, make sure that you receive a written license that outlines your rights and responsibilities.
Stock Music Libraries make copyright clearance for use in your production very easy. The music library owners hold the copyright for all the music in their catalogue. They can provide and license the music for synchronization rights directly to you, as StockMusic.com does through our

Who Goes There?
Modern technology has a lot of upsides. On the downside is the fact that you need an ID and password to access most of it. Keeping your own logins straight is hard enough; keeping them straight for thousands of people on a college campus is even harder.
Everyone is doing basic identity management, says Rodney J. Petersen, managing director of the Washington office and senior government relations officer for Educause. "Anyone who has logins does it." The challenge is managing those accounts efficiently.
The trend is toward single sign-on and moving IdM out of individual applications to a single source—goals most higher ed institutions haven't met, Peterson notes. "Generally speaking, it's not surprising that the places that have the most advanced practices are large research universities. They've been working on it long and hard. The campuses that have a long way to go are smaller colleges, and particularly two-years."
For community colleges, the usual challenges of limited resources, a wide reaching mission, and a transient population rear their heads. "I think the turnover does add difficulty because there is more churn and a faster pace of change in the constituents," says Bill Thompson, principal architect of identity access management for Unicon, an IT consulting services firm.
IdM is one of those tasks campus leaders leave on the back burner until a compelling business reason tips the scales. The need to "deliver consistent and seamless access to many applications to enrich the learner's experience" and the reality of complying with regulations such as FERPA spurred Capella University leaders to get the Lighthouse Gateway solution for their IdM needs, says Maria Schuett, the online institution's identity and access management architect.
"Identity management is about managing the lifecycles of users," says Eric Maass, CTO at Lighthouse Security Group, the company behind that product. It touches everyone on campus from students enrolling to graduating and everything in between and faculty and staff being hired and promoted. The challenge is getting the pertinent information out of the HR system or SIS into the other systems that need it. Also, should users manage their own passwords and profile information?
Petersen says IdM should ideally be handled by an "enterprise directory" independent of other systems. In reality, new applications, each requiring authentication, are stacked. "We're maintaining the problem," he says. "It's a policy as well as process issue."
Resource and Security Drain
Poor IdM can affect IT staff resources and efficiency, security, and service. "Server space is the least of your problems," asserts Idan Shoham, CTO of Hitachi ID Systems. "Disc [space] is cheap. If that were it, no one would care." They do care about adding (or removing) a semester's worth of students in a short time frame on a regular basis. Missed deadlines mean service disruptions and overtime that goes into processing new students over the weekend.
While the large volume of changes bookending semesters up the ante, IdM is a year-round task. At Montgomery College (Md.), "it's a continual process to keep [data] current as names and job functions change," says Andrew Scheppler, lead technical manager. "It's pretty much a manual process, and if anyone needs access to different functions they call us. And naturally, people call and tell us they need things but not that they no longer need them. That becomes a security concern."
Since the college currently provides system IDs only to faculty and staff, another concern is the default user account used on student computers in classrooms and labs. "If there is a computer that isn't well monitored and someone starts doing inappropriate or illegal activity, there is no way to know who it is," Scheppler shares. "There is always a concern that if we ever get a call from a company or law enforcement there isn't a way to identify those individuals."
Unfortunately, because of the pressure the IT department tends to be under, it takes a "headline grabbing breach" to move IdM to the top of the priority list, says Cole Clark, global vice president of Oracle Education and Research.
Another security concern surrounds the paper trail needed to get a new user on the system—paper that likely included personally identifiable information. "You don't know the path that piece of paper will take," says Maass. "The exposure of that data can be huge. Aside from the inefficiency, the leakage of personal info is concerning." He also notes that poor data management can lead to purchasing more software seat licenses than necessary.
In the move toward a single sign-on solution, it becomes paramount to ensure passwords are strong and protected, stresses Petersen. "That is the biggest concern about single sign-on. You've introduced a single point of failure ... that gives access to payroll, timesheets, etc." Two-factor authentication, such as a password combined with biometrics, can address the issue.
Finally, there is the risk of missed opportunities for students to access resources at other campuses or institutions. Aiding a potential transfer student to access resources at his or her target school provides better services, points out Thompson.
Policies and Process
Migrating to a new, or improving an existing, IdM system is one of those technology projects that takes a lot of legwork before the first line of code is written. "Identity management is a data flow problem," says Shoham. You have to map the path data takes, determine change triggers, and identify who has approval rights before making changes. "It's impossible for a vendor or consultant to come and replace stuff if you can't tell them what you want it to do."
As Montgomery IT staff migrate from Novel to Microsoft Active Directory, discovery has been an important part of the process. "We've had to talk to almost every department and discuss their processes," says Scheppler. "In some cases, we're having to define those processes. They don't always know. We're creating some of them piecemeal; they tell us things, then come back a few days later with more." He attends faculty campus meetings and academic assemblies to discuss the project, as well as meets individually with each group or department on campus to discuss the on- and off-boarding process. "It takes one to two years to get it all in order. We're planning on about 11 months."
Capella has also undertaken "extensive identity lifecycle discovery, which entailed identifying and documenting all user types, lifecycle events, and data that can be used by IdM to correctly determine a user's status," says Schuett. Although their new system is not yet deployed, these efforts have already led to changes in business process and campus culture, she says.
"We know that if you don't lead with policies, you won't succeed," cautions Clark. "You have to be prepared to enforce these policies around the use of the tools."
Decisions also have to be made about maintenance going forward, providing self-service access to users for password changes and profile updates, and whether to integrate with social media sites. "If someone does want to take a test class, is it easier to have them set up a new profile or to just let them log in with their Facebook account?" says Maass.
Campus leaders have to realize IdM is as much an administrative issue as it is a technology issue, says Thompson. Some policies, such as how long email should stay active after a student leaves campus, are de facto because someone had to make a decision, but there was never really any thought put into it.
Clean-up Crew
Higher ed is fond of building technology solutions in house, but, in the case of IdM, it might not be the best option. "I've seen cases where the people who maintain custom solutions retire or fall ill. The school was left scrambling during the semester end and beginning," Shoham says. "There were significant disruptions. I've seen it happen at some big-name institutions." Continuity of service, plus potential time and money savings, can drive schools to an off-the-shelf solution, he says.
After the discovery part of the process is complete, starting with clean data is key to success. Rather than migrating data, Montgomery staff are setting up Active Directory empty and populating it with the information in Novel. "Our CTO made that decision since we've never done a lot of house cleaning in Novel," admits Scheppler. "He's afraid the 'later' will never come." Instead of taking a chance, they are carefully building the database from the ground up.
"Trying to push paper to keep users clean is futile," says Maass. "Without putting an ID management system in place, you won't manage to keep it clean."
Since the term "project" implies there is an end-date that will allow people to move on to other tasks, Shoham suggests branding identity management as a "program" within IT. "A program implies it is ongoing and you will have people dedicated to it," he points out. Thompson echoes the need to make IdM a core discipline, "not just something that has come along for the ride," by establishing both a short- and long-term strategy to address it.
While senior leadership probably has an inkling about the importance of a strong IdM solution, ensuring ongoing resources are committed could take some convincing. Petersen says security is probably the easy argument to make. "There is an efficiency argument, but it's not easy to demonstrate the ROI," he says. "The classic question is how many times do you change IDs and passwords? A single system will reduce those incidents. And much of that can be automated now, too."
Efforts Rewarded
Don't expect to overhaul IdM overnight. "Installing the software and getting it to run is a very small part," Scheppler says. "The bigger part is identifying processes of a student or employee that have come in and what should happen." Determining the access each person needs takes as much or more time as other parts of the process.
The IT department shouldn't be tackling IdM alone, cautions Clark. "IT needs to have a seat at the table, but they don't necessarily have to be the owners." Some early adopters of identity management put IT in charge and failed. As Maass says, "IT doesn't own the business problem. They own the technical problem. Identity management is about changing and managing business processes. The effect is what is happening in IT. The cause it what is happening in HR and other offices."
A strong solution helps senior management sleep better at night, says Clark. "It lowers the possibility of these headline-grabbing breaches." Besides streamlining new users into the system, it ensures resources and network access are properly distributed, he adds. "First and foremost, I think it's a huge piece of mind, and second, better utilization of resources."
Consider the impact of poor IdM, says Thompson, and focus on the potential efficiencies and improved risk management. "The carrot is you will be able to onboard resources faster and easier. The stick is that if you have a big data breach and have to notify your constituents there is a big cost associated with that."
Thompson sums up that there are both positive and negative aspects to IdM. Both should justify the steps and costs involved in getting a handle on this.

Europe expects system changes from Belarus
Delivering a speech in the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, European Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighborhood Policy, stated that more political reforms are expected from the Belarusian regime.
On 12-13 March the European Commissioner plans to visit Belarus. Over the last month it is to become the second visit to Belarus of a high-ranking Brussels official. In February Minks was visited by the EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, RFE/RL informs.
The European Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner said: "We do see the chance to get Belarus closer to us and we would like to do a lot."
Speaking about chances of Belarus' participation in the Eastern Partnership program, Mrs Ferrero-Waldner stressed that for that to happen, the EU would like to see more political reforms. Now, she believes, this process in the country could be defined by the words "two steps forward, one step back".
As said by the European Commissioner, Belarusian President Lukashenka has been walking a narrow line between keeping good relations with traditional ally Russia and developing better ties with the West, especially after a row with Moscow in 2006 over gas prices.
"We are content to see that political prisoners have been released, but we are not content at seeing that others now have been again circumscribed and also put under arrest," Ferrero-Waldner said.
"On the other hand, some NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have now been registered, some newspapers now can be printed – opposition newspapers. All of these are good steps (but) we want to see more systemic changes," she said.
She said next week members of the EU are to adopt the final version of the Eastern Partnership program.
As we have informed, European Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighborhood Policy stated that to become a part of the Eastern Partnership, Belarus is to fulfill a few conditions of the EU.
Belarus could qualify for the scheme if it pushes ahead with democratic reforms.
The EU also expects Belarus not to recognize independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. In case the country would recognize their independence, it would be backward movement in the cooperation with the EU and the Eastern Partnership initiative.

Christopher Meloni's new Fox sitcom Surviving Jack has lost one of its supporting cast.
Alex Kapp Horner has stepped off the new show, according to Deadline.
It is not currently clear why Horner - whose most notable previous role was on CBS comedy The New Adventures of Old Christine - will take no further part in the show. It is understood that the character will be retained for the series, but recast.
Surviving Jack stars Man of Steel cast member Meloni as Jack Dunlevy and Connor Buckley as his teenage son Frankie. Horner, who is a former member of the Groundlings comedy troupe, had been cast in the role of Jack's wife in the pilot.
Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence is behind the sitcom, which is based on a book by $#*! My Dad Says author Justin Halpern called I Suck At Girls.
Surviving Jack is thought to have received an initial 13-episode order from Fox.

Google has done well with the Chromecast in the early stage of the devices' life, gaining tons of support from different media streaming services and huge adoption in the US, with the Chromecast selling out in lots of areas and Google cutting the Netflix three month offer quickly because of huge demand.
Sony could be preparing to tap into the Chromecast's market with a new competitor device. The mystery device recently slipped by the FCC, some claimed it was a Google TV, but looking closer the device seems to be some sort of dongle with added functionality.
The device is named NSZ-GU1, similar to other Google TV names, however it lacks HDMI-pass through, something operational on most all Google TVs. The device will also be plugged into a HDMI port, similar to the Chromecast.
Two features we have not seen on the Chromecast that are coming on the Sony dongle are an IR blaster and Bluetooth. The IR blaster is questionable although it may just be used to connect more easily to the TV. Bluetooth could be used to connect to external speakers or the dongle may be able to connect wirelessly to the TV.
We did not know Google would be opening the Chromecast program to third-party developers. Perhaps this will be a Sony hardware and software development, to mimic the Chromecast. It may annoy Google but we have not seen a patent regarding the Chromecast yet.
Google TV is now left at a standstill, does it continue on its rather failed attempt at taking over the TV or will the Chromecast now work as the filler, working with all TVs and systems to upload Internet content.

Now is better than never, right? So, shut up. Seriously, sorry about the lack of posts lately. I haven't updated since "last year" hurr durr. But yeah, been really busy lately: Just moved into a new place, currently dual enrolled at two colleges, and working nonstop at Crate and Barrel... so I haven't been screwing around if that's what you're wondering. I promise more pics this year. Some folks have been emailing me about tutorials and fashion sketches, so I'll do more of those as well. Oh, and a revamped blog is on the way. Hopefully, I'll be able to launch on my birthday (Jan 21 btw). So keep your eyes peeled. See ya.

This is my list of the 4 apps you definitely need on your rooted nexus and probably the first 4 apps I install whenever I root my phone.
Android Theme – VORTEX
I call it 'Vortex'
Details can be found on MyColorScreen.
Nova Launcher Easter Egg – Secret Labs Menu
Did you know there's a secret Labs menu in Nova Launcher? I honestly can't believe I've had Nova Launcher on my phone for months and only found out about this feature today by accident. There are tonnes of cool features in the Labs menu. The one I'm most excited about is the option of putting any size widget in the dock. I've always envied iOS's ability to have a Music widget in the dock. After unlocking the secret menu, I can put pretty much any sized widget I want in the dock. Unlocking the menu is stupidly simple:
Android 4.2 – Unlocking Developer Options
According to Google, unless you're a developer, there's not really much reason you'd mess with the appropriately named Developer Options. Consequently, Google's hidden it from Settings so that "normal" users will not accidentally mess up their phones, throw a tantrum, break down completely and just sit and cry in the corner of their room, mourning the loss of yet another Android phone.
However, if you enjoy that sort of thing, here's how to get the Developer Options back. It's really quite easy; I actually unlocked it by accident since I randomly tap things in the hope of discovering Easter Eggs.
Android 4.2 – Notification Bar + Quick Settings
The notification bar (AKA The "Notification Shade" ) hasn't changed much, but the new "Quick Settings" is not as useful as the drop down bars in HTC's Sense UI or Samsung's TouchWiz. While it does give you access to your most used settings, they don't act as toggles. They're more or less shortcuts to the actual settings page. The only real toggle is Airplane mode. The Brightness one is a wannabe toggle and sends you to another toggle to adjust brightness. The Bluetooth option is even worse since it will just direct you to the Bluetooth Settings page, which is pretty annoying: why can't I just turn Bluetooth on from the toggle like other phones let me do?
Android 4.2 – Daydream + JellyBean Easter Egg
With Android 4.2 comes "Daydream", Google's idea of a screensaver for your phone. There are quite a few different options for you to choose from and there's also a hidden Easter Egg. A screensaver for your phone is an interesting idea but let's face it, who's really going to use it that often?
Android 4.2 – Keyboard + Tips
The biggest improvement to the JellyBean keyboard is Gesture Typing. Simply slide from letter to letter to type a word. I previously used to use Swype but after the 4.2 update, I switched to the stock keyboard. It's just so much faster, fluid, and generally easier to use.
You can do it one-handed and it even supports two finger gesture typing. It saves time, energy and you don't even need to bother spelling words properly since Android auto-corrects words easily. The word prediction software is intuitive too and the voice-to-text is spot on. It even works offline, supports hundreds of languages and hardly ever gets any words wrong. Impressive stuff.

I am a fairly recent transplant to the South, so okra was not always in my culinary repertoire. Since moving to Atlanta a few years ago, I've enjoyed exploring this oft-maligned vegetable. Although fried okra is delicious, it's also messy, time consuming, and not exactly healthy. My favorite preparation is also the simplest I know. It works best with small okra, about a finger's length, but any size works well. Trim the stems short, but don't remove them. Those little leaf hairs can be prickly when uncooked, so be careful when handling the okra. Toss the okra with a little olive oil, some large flake sea or Himalayan salt, a few grinds of pepper, and an optional dash of whatever spices you're craving. I really enjoy a sprinkle of cayenne. Cajun or Mediterranean blends are good bets, and garam masala seems a natural given okra's place in Indian cuisine. Heat a cast iron pan until it's screaming hot, or turn your grill up high. Add the okra to your pre-heated pan, and cook until they're blistered, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. When you're done, you'll have a pile of crisp yet tender okra with no hint of sliminess. It's a fabulous side dish, though honestly I happily eat okra cooked this way as a snack!
Check out your local farmer's market this weekend. If you're in the South, chances are you'll find okra waiting for you to take it home and make it delicious. One more garden gift before the summer's out.

County commissioners Thursday authorized their staff to study Markham Park in Sunrise as a possible site for grand prix auto racing.
Hayward J. Benson, Jr., director of the county's Public Service Department, said the study would be completed in about four weeks.
Earlier this month the commission rejected Tradewinds Park in Coconut Creek as a racing site, saying the facility could not provide adequate parking.
Benson said Markham Park's location, at 16001 State Road 84, near the Everglades and away from most residential areas, was a plus.

Encouraging young to believe in philanthropy
Encouraging philanthropy during a recession is difficult enough but encouraging philanthropy among young people raises that challenge to a whole new level.
If they are lucky enough to have jobs, most young people are preoccupied with holding on to them, so where does philanthropy come into it?
The Ireland Fund, a global network of philanthropists, has met this challenge head-on with its Young Leaders initiative and says it is already exceeding its goals.
Director Caitlin Duffy said the project had already attracted 50 members and a network of 500 supporters since it was launched last year. The number of Young Leaders could easily be doubled, she said, as word spread.
"The age range of the Young Leaders is from 25 to 40 years old and spans across all sectors," Ms Duffy said.
It has attracted people working in fields such as stockbroking, technology, public relations and law. "The common thread that links the group is their desire to give back to Ireland and make a difference where it is needed."
The Irish branch of the Young Leaders is one of the newest groups in the programme. It started in the US more than 10 years ago to motivate young adults to get involved in philanthropy and specifically to give back to Ireland.
In January, the Irish Young Leaders programme pledged to raise €50,000 for charitable causes and it has already reached that goal. The funds go to support the Ireland Funds annual grant round which distributes €1 million in funding to projects across the 32 counties in Ireland.
Projects that have received funds include the Computer Clubhouse for young people in Dublin's Liberties, the Kids in the Kitchen charity, Guide Dogs for Autism and the Burrenbeo Trust, which works to protect the Burren landscape.

It won't be an easy ride
It could not have been a worse start to his innings as home minister for Sushilkumar Shinde. And that too coming in the wake of the disastrous power outage under his watch in his last ministry.india Updated: Aug 03, 2012 00:04 IST
It could not have been a worse start to his innings as home minister for Sushilkumar Shinde. And that too coming in the wake of the disastrous power outage under his watch in his last ministry. The Pune blasts mercifully did not claim any casualties but are a chilling reminder that terror is far from over in India despite the relative calm in recent times. That Mr Shinde was to visit the city though he cancelled it suggests that the message that the miscreants wanted to convey was that he will not have an easy ride. The Pune police commissioner has said that prima facie there is no terror angle, but this should serve to review our preparedness in the eventuality of this being a dry run for a bigger outrage.
After the catastrophic Mumbai terror attacks, the home ministry had put in place several measures to tackle terror. Indeed, home ministry officials claim that several attacks were averted by these efforts. We have several agencies to look into different aspects of terror, the National Investigation Agency, the Intelligence Bureau, the Research and Analysis Wing to mention some. But what seems to be lacking whether dealing with external security threats or internal insurgencies like that of the Maoists is coordination among all of them and a certain amount of intelligence sharing. It has been argued long and loud by experts that we need much greater technological input in the fight against all forms of terror and certainly much greater human intelligence. The lack of coordination again between the Centre and states has also created needless opportunities for those wishing to perpetrate terror. For this, the Centre alone cannot be blamed. The states, in particular some chief ministers, become very turf conscious and prickly when the Centre tries to suggest ways in which to deal with, say the Maoist menace. They feel that this is encroaching on their powers, quite ignoring the fact that security cannot be held hostage to Centre-state equations.
Another aspect which emboldens purveyors of terror is the painfully slow investigative process. The kneejerk reaction is often to round up some suspects and then find that the cases against them hold no water. This has hampered the investigation process considerably. There is rarely any methodical investigation into these incidents, leading to a lack of faith in the whole system on the part of the common man. It will take the new home minister a while to come to grips with his portfolio. Meanwhile, had the systems in place been effective, the investigation process would have been well underway in the Pune blasts. But as of now, officials are still debating whether this is a conspiracy or not, whether it is a terror attack or not. And in the process, precious time has been lost once again putting the citizen in further peril.

(Photos courtesy of the Arizona Cardinals)
By Clark Judge
Talk of Fame Network
Kurt Warner is a Hall-of-Fame finalist for the second straight year, and while he may not make it in 2016 he will make it eventually … for one compelling reason.
He belongs.
Critics shake their heads and point to a career that is shaped like a doughnut, with a giant hole in the middle. How, they ask, can someone be considered Hall-of-Fame worthy when he was benched during the peak of his career?
It's a good question. He sat down with the Giants so they could get a look at their first draft pick, Eli Manning. And sat down with the Arizona Cardinals so they could get a gauge on their first draft pick, Matt Leinart.
OK, he was benched. So what? Look what happened at either end of Warner's career: The guy raised the Titanic.
He put the St. Louis Rams in the Super Bowl … not once, but twice … winning once and losing on a last-second field goal in the 2001 playoffs. He put the Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl, too, rallying them to a late fourth-quarter lead before Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers caught them at the wire.
The Rams haven't been back to the Super Bowl. Neither have the Cardinals.
But let's dig a little deeper. Before Warner turned in an MVP season in 1999 and won Super Bowl XXXIV, the Rams hadn't had a winning year since 1989, hadn't won a division title since 1985 and hadn't been to a Super Bowl since 1979. And before he steered Arizona to its first-ever Super Bowl in 2008 the Cards hadn't had a winning season since 1998 and hadn't been to a Super Bowl, period.
"He took two franchises that were down in the dumps," said Hall-of-Fame finalist, Orlando Pace, who protected Warner's blind side in St. Louis. "A St. Louis team that won four games the year prior and turned that franchise around. (He) turned them into a winner and took them to a Super Bowl … actually, won the Super Bowl with the team.
"Then, after a few years off, he takes another Arizona team that hadn't done much to the Super Bowl. They didn't win it, but still he was the glue. He played well late into his career, and his story is just so wonderful. He's a better person than he is a player … and he was a pretty good player."
Pace is right, of course, and while Warner's character won't come into play with the Hall-of-Fame process his role as the glue that held clubs together will. Stepping in for the injured Trent Green in 1999, he not only took the Rams to their first 13-win season ever; he broke a 17-game losing streak to once mighty San Francisco. He won an MVP that year. He won an MVP in 2001, too, when he set another franchise record with 14 Rams' victories.
He was a Super Bowl MVP. He owns the three highest single-game passing yardage records in Super Bowl history and has the third highest completion percentage in Super Bowl history. He's the only quarterback to throw for 14,000 yards with two different franchises. He's the only quarterback to throw for 400 yards in a Super Bowl.
I think you get the picture. He's Hall-of-Fame material.
So there's a hole in the middle of Warner's career. Big deal. That makes his story more compelling. When most guys would have retired or been content to roam the sidelines with a clipboard, he returned to the field and took the lowly Arizona Cardinals to their first … and only … Super Bowl, losing only when the Cards' defense couldn't hold off Pittsburgh in the last two minutes.
Kurt Warner is one of only nine players to be named league MVP multiple times, and four of them were first-ballot Hall of Famers. The three others are Brett Favre, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers, and all will be first-ballot Hall of Famers, too.
That leaves Warner.
He wasn't named a year ago, and he might not be named this year. And that's OK. But let's not exclude him because he was sent to the bench. Because he didn't stay there. Let's put him in because he did the improbable, the unimaginable and the supernatural ... and he did it twice.
A smart man once said great players elevate the play of teammates around them. Kurt Warner did that. And he did it with two of the most unlikely Super Bowl teams ever. Put him in the Hall.

Fashion Week Day One – Johnny From Project Runway, Alex Perry And Terry Biviano
It is Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and this year there are not as many reality TV types around but on Day One I managed to catch up with Johnny Schembri who won Project Runway Australia. His runway show was packed last night and if you are interested in buying his stuff go to The Iconic as it is on sale now. He talks to me about what is happening for him fashion wise.
Terry Biviano who was one of the highlights on WAG Nation last year talked about how being on the show gave her business a boost and what it was like having the cameras on her. It does not look like we will be seeing her in The Real Housewives of Australia.
Also I popped into the Alex Perry show and you have to wonder how he fits everything in. He is the ultimate energiser bunny. The show had a naughty, elegant school girl vibe about it. However Sarah Murdoch was there wearing an Alex Perry number and supporting his show as was his Project Runway colleague Megan Gale.
Former Australia's Next Top Model Cassi Van Den Dungen walked in his show as did Amanda Ware. At this stage I have not spotted Montana Cox as there are rumours that she has put on weight, whatever that means in the fashion world.
Alice Burdeau is also there here is a shot of her at the Aurelio Costarella showcase.

Australia's Next Top Model – It is Monday So Another Alex Perry Story
It is amazing how every Monday without fail there is a yarn about Australia's Next Top Model in the papers. Normally involving something judge Alex Perry said or did not say. Always handy when the episode is going to air tonight….
This time it comes from Project Runway Australia finalist Craig Braybrook who said to the Herald Sun that Alex Perry and the Project Runway contestants used to make negative comments about fat people.
The article states:
PROJECT Runway Australia finalist Craig Braybrook has weighed into the Perrygate scandal.
Known for his catty comments, the Melbourne designer couldn't resist letting slip that contestants and mentor Alex Perry would often make swipes about curvy people on the set of the Foxtel reality series.
"On the show he was always like 'I hate fat people'," Braybrook said.
"He used to say it all the time."
Last week Perry denied he was a "fattist" after copping a barrage of criticism for describing a size 8 Australia's Next Top Model contestant, Alissandra Moone , as "overstuffed luggage".
Perry was slammed in the media and on social networking sites after he led the charge to send Moone, 18, packing when she could not fit into a size 10 designer dress.
The Perrygate saga followed an angry war of words with former Biggest Loser host Ajay Rochester, who claims Perry hates fat women and had openly mocked her body.
Perry described Rochester's claims as reprehensible and said there was no way Moone was a size 8 when she was on the show.
"Somehow everyone thinks I hate fat people … I have somehow become the new skinny ambassador," Perry said at the time.
"I can dress a big girl better than anybody."
The Project Runway Australia finale just happens to be on Arena TV tonight as well at 8.30pm, and the Australia's Next Top Model episode is on Fox 8 at 7.30pm.

Australia's Next Top Model – A Size 8 Still Too Large?
Every year this issue comes up on Australia's Next Top Model when one of the models is told they are too fat.
However this year it appears a girl who is size 8 has been deemed as being to large for the industry.
News.com.au reports Alex Perry tells 18 year old Alissandra Moone likens her to "overstuffed baggage".
The article states:
Alissandra Moone, 18, who at 57kg is considered underweight on the Australian body mass index, was "stunned" when her size became an issue on Foxtel's top-rating show.
Judge Alex Perry has openly criticised Moone's body, likening it to "overstuffed luggage", and the clash is set to reach a head on tonight's episode.
"It's a very bad message to be sending to young girls who watch the show," Moone said yesterday.
"It's harsh. It's stupid. And it's out of touch. I understand it's a reality of the (modelling) industry but this is a TV show and they should have a responsibility to censor that kind of thing.
"I know this has happened to other girls in the past but I was shocked when he (Perry) said I was too fat.
"I'm only a size eight. There's going to be a lot of young girls watching this who are bigger than me, and how's this going to make them feel?"
Perry was unavailable for comment.
This story has probably been put out there to attract viewers to tonights episode on the show.
So if you want to watch it Australia's Next Top Model (ANTM) is on Fox 8 tonight at 7.30pm.
UPDATE: Alex Perry has come out on twitter (no not in THAT way) and said he was misquoted. His quote was to do with her pose in photo shoot apparently.

Ajay Rochester V Alex Perry – A Reality TV Scrag Fight
Ajay Rochester is in town to promote her new book has taken a slash at Alex Perry saying he hates fat women. News.com.au quotes Alex as saying the reason Ajay might be having a go at him is that he refused to dress her in the past.
However Alex and Ajay went head to head on 106.5 fm yesterday and it wasn't very edifying for either of them. I wondered why Alex was allowing himself to be drawn into this debate, however he said on air 60% of his made to wear business are larger women.
Ajay continues to give her views on the stoush via her blog.

Project Runway Australia Season 3 Preview
Good news for Project Runway Australia fans, with news the third season will kick of on Monday July 4 on Arena TV at 8.30pm.
There is a whole new cast. The show will be hosted by Megan Gale, with Alex Perry as mentor.
I don't know how Alex Perry is juggling his workload, as Australia's Next Top Model is currently filming as well. He also has his fashion design commitments and last week I read he was designing an apartment complex in Brisbane.
Fashion designer Kirrily Johnston is a new judge, as well as industry expert Jarrad Clark.
Clark's experience spans working with the major creative heads in fashion, Australia and worldwide, as the Global Event Production Director of IMG Fashion.
And we have the names of the contestants.
Five designers from New South Wales; Anthony Allars, Dylan Cooper, Johnny Schembri, Nerida Bourne and Rachael Perks, four designers from Victoria; Claire Hocking,Craig Braybrook, Gabrielle Stephens and Matcho Suba and three designers from Western Australia; Anna McEachran, Amanda McKenna and Timothy Godbold will battle it out for first prize.
Also expect to see Collette Dinnigan, Camilla Franks, Dannii Minogue and Carla Zampatti, as guest judges.
Cannot wait – this is one of the best Australian reality TV show produced. By the looks of the preview it looks like again the production values are high.
Also if you know any of the contestants email me or make a comment and tell us about them.

Ari is usually spelled with an "e" in the Amish culture but we decided to drop the "e" for fun. So yes, it is pronounced like an "airy" day.
Hart means "fast runner" with a Native American origin. Of course this comes from her Daddy's passion for running.

text: ASP.NET 101 - Part 1: Communication from User control to Page in ASP.NET 12. januari 2009 17:30 / Mats Lycken / ASP.NET . Web / Comments (11) User controls are great for encapsulating both behavior and look. When you have some UI elements that you want to use in more than one place a User control is a great way to add reusability. One problem that you can run into is how you add communication from the user control to the web page. Perhaps you have a button in a user control, and when you click it the web page should perform some action. If the button was on the page we would simply bind to the Clicked event on the button, but when it's inside of the user control we don't have access to the button. Luckily it is really easy in .NET to add your own events. In this really simple example we will create a user control with a button that also has an event, ButtonClicked. We will then create a page that contains an instance of the user control and bind to the exposed event so that the page will know when the button has been clicked. We begin with the user control: EventControl.ascx 1: <%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="EventControl.ascx.cs" 2: Inherits="UserControl_Event_1.EventControl" %> 3: <asp:Button runat="server" ID="ClickButton" Text="Click me!" 4: onclick="ClickButton_Click" /> EventControl.ascx.cs 1: using System; 2: namespace UserControl_Event_1 3: { 4: public partial class EventControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl 5: { 6: protected void ClickButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 7: { 8: OnButtonClicked(EventArgs.Empty); 9: } 10: protected void OnButtonClicked(EventArgs e) 11: { 12: if (ButtonClicked != null) 13: { 14: ButtonClicked(this, e); 15: } 16: } 17: public event EventHandler ButtonClicked; 18: } 19: } The markup doesn't contain anything special, just a button where we've bound to the click event. The code-behind file contains our event that is exposed: public event EventHandler ButtonClicked; When we want to trigger this event we use the method OnButtonClicked: protected void OnButtonClicked(EventArgs e) { if (ButtonClicked != null) { ButtonClicked(this, e); } } If no one has bound to the event ButtonClicked will be null so we need to check that before we trigger it. It is common to use the naming convention used here. The event says what has happened, like Clicked. And the method we use to trigger the event is called On<Event name>, like OnClicked. So in our click event for the button we trigger the event with the line: OnButtonClicked(EventArgs.Empty); In this example we won't send any data along with the event so we can use the predefined event argument EventArgs.Empty. You can also note that when we trigger the event we send along the object that triggered it, the first parameter to the event this. That way the page can check exactly which user control that triggered it by checking the sender argument in the event handler. We will now create a page that will use our simple user control. Default.aspx 1: <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" 2: Inherits="UserControl_Event_1._Default" %> 3: <%@ Register src="EventControl.ascx" tagname="EventControl" tagprefix="uc1" %> 4: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 5: "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> 6: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > 7: <head runat="server"> 8: <title>Untitled Page</title> 9: </head> 10: <body> 11: <form id="form1" runat="server"> 12: <div> 13: <uc1:EventControl ID="EventControl1" runat="server" OnButtonClicked="EventControl1_ButtonClicked" /> 14: <br /> 15: <asp:Label runat="server" ID="MessageLabel" /> 16: </div> 17: </form> 18: </body> 19: </html> Default.aspx.cs 1: using System; 2: using System.Web.UI; 3: namespace UserControl_Event_1 4: { 5: public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page 6: { 7: protected void EventControl1_ButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs e) 8: { 9: MessageLabel.Text = "You clicked it! " + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(); 10: } 11: } 12: } You can see in Default.aspx that intellisense of our user control contains our new event. Note that the event is called On<Event name> when it is used in markup, if you look in the code behind you can see that the event really is called ButtonClicked. We create an event handler for the event and perform some action, updating a label with a message and the time so we see that something has happened. You can recreate the sample or download the attached .zip-file containing a complete solution. This was a real quick example, next time I'll extend this concept and show how to send data along with the event.

The proper implementation of a returns management chain enables a company to identify opportunities that can help in reducing any unwanted returns by their buyers. It also helps in the control of reusable assets and the implementation of an efficient product reverse flow.
It is necessary to have a cost-effective program to satisfy the demand of repairable raw goods by supplying returned goods through repairs and proper product information. Returns management is an integral part in the supply chain management, and it is necessary to make provisions for proper co-existence with other supply chain process.
In this guide, we look at the three essential mainstays to cover for an efficient returns management process.
For proper customer satisfaction and to salvage the corporate reputation, automate your returns management process for easy and fast reverse logistics. Incorporate user profiles and groups, which help in authenticating material return eligibility based on payment terms, physical location, et al.
Automating the workflow eases the pressure of repeatable processes thereby increasing the efficiency of consistent product routing.
The returns management department must take measures to improve predictability and visibility by capturing information early in the process after the user lodges a return claim. It is best to have it done before the product arrives at the returning dock. To implement faster visibility, use web-based portals to allow authenticated users to key in particular product information from any location in the world.
Stock your receiving dock with equipment such as bar-code identifiers and experienced staff to handle product information of the inbound shipment accurately. It is also necessary to link return material authorizations (RMAs) to carrier tracking numbers via automated notifications or Internet-based portals to increase shipment visibility.
The biggest hurdle in the supply chain management is in the synchronization of product movement, more so product returns. Place competent personnel in the receiving dock to handle all the receipts and reconciliations who can then advise the company stakeholders of any impending issues with the quality of the products or service.
Regulatory compliance, quality assurance as well as reconciliation and final disposition are the crucial control touch points to ensure proper returns management processes.
In conclusion, having a team that can properly handle all the return shipments with precise efficiency and in a timely manner will increase value recovery. The manufacturing arm can then repair the product and then sold, hence decreasing waste management fees as well as the costs of storing scrapped parts.
Incorporating software solutions will automate the returns management process by documenting and labeling the product making it easier to track the entire chain. The above-highlighted mainstays will create and support a reliable and efficient returns management process for your company.

Target: Today!
Aim at the calendar to find today's "target number"!
What You Need:
- Calendar page for the current month
- Paper and pencil
What You and Your Child Will Do:
- Ask your child to find today's date on the calendar and circle it. Discuss the fact that while the day may be Monday, for example, the date is made up of the name of the month and a number. Have your child circle the number that names today's date.
- Make the circled number the "target number." Explain that the target number can be found by adding two or more numbers. Or, it can be found by subtracting one number from another.
- Have your child find the target number first by adding two numbers. For example, if the target number is 17, your child could add 8 and 9, writing 8 + 9 = 17.
- Now ask the child to name three numbers that add up to the target number. The child could name 6, 4, and 7, for example, and write 6 + 4 + 7 = 17.
- Finally, challenge your child to find the target number by subtracting one number from another. Here's one way: "twenty-seven minus ten equals seventeen," (27 − 10 = 17).
- Repeat this activity from time to time for other "target numbers."
- Making a diagram for these number sentences can help your child envision the two kinds of addition and the subtraction. (Point out that the circle in each number sentence stands for the target number.)

"Faith doesn't make sense. That's why it makes miracles." - John Di Lemme
"Faith means trusting in advance what only makes sense in reverse." - Phillip Yancey
I love following the stories of those who have truly turned all areas of their life over to God. Today we are taking just a glimpse of one of those. It is a story of a man who finally connected and continued to follow the path even though it seemed clear that it wouldn't take him to the destination he desired.
This man was a talented mechanic and machinist – he was the head maintenance man at a newspaper, a job approaching six figures back in the 90's. He had a problem with alcohol, and ended up going to a treatment center. When his time as a patient was done, he felt moved to stay on as the maintenance man.
The treatment center is male only, and has been around for many years. Of course this man longed for female companionship, and of all the things he wanted most he desired to have some acreage in the rolling hills of Ohio.
Maintenance man at the treatment center gave him a bed to sleep in, three meals a day and a wage of about $3.00 per hour. This made no sense with the goals he had in mind, but in prayer and contemplation the answer was to stay working at the mission.
As the head maintenance man at the mission, all the clients would gather at his shop to chat. In many ways he did more counseling than any of the counselors did. His willingness to remain a calm and steady voice of reason at the mission saved many men's lives.
After eight years there he met a woman who had no material assets to speak of and who had gone back to college to get a degree in clinical counseling. She had been praying for ten years to have her life mate revealed, and although she had been given a vision of his face she had no idea where to meet him. But meet they did, and marry they did.
So now they lived in the basement of a house on the mission grounds. He continued to work maintenance and she continued to work on her degree. She worked part time doing social work and he worked part time fixing people's lawn mowers and cars. Anyone can tell you – if you want to buy some acreage in the country this is no way to go about it. It just isn't happening.
I have known of the date of his sobriety for some years, and I try to call him every year on that date. This year he had completely forgotten that it was the twelfth anniversary. He and his wife had just closed on better than 12 acres of land in the rolling hills of Ohio – that very day. It is the property in the photo at the beginning of this article.
When asked how they managed it they both say they have no idea. They prayed and were led to look at the property, and then they just followed the guidance they were given. Within a month the property was theirs.
She now has a master's degree and works to help people rehabilitate their lives. With their move out into the country, Brent has a new job also. He now collaborates with employers and people with disabilities to find matches that allow those with disabilities to find and keep gainful employment. He works with them their first few weeks on the job to help them grasp and master their responsibilities. And both Brent and Michelle are active in their church community.
This photo was taken while I visited Brent for a few days on my return to the Carolinas last week. The second day I was there, he knocked on the bedroom door about nine o'clock in the morning. "Dave, you got a minute?" "Sure Brent, what's up?" I replied. "I broke my arm." "You bleeding?" "Nope. But I fell off the roof and need to get it set."
As we are bouncing down country roads on the way to the hospital he says "You know, I think I have a little shock going on. I bet this is going to start to really hurt in a while."
After the hospital does x-rays, they tell him his wrist is shattered in so many pieces that they can't set it. He has to be referred to an orthopedic surgeon. No big deal - Brent says how grateful he is that he didn't land on his back. And now he is learning to perform tasks with his other hand.
And that is what life is like when you are living in the spirit – nothing makes sense but everything fits just fine. You find gratitude in everything that presents itself. You don't sweat the small stuff – and you realize that it is all small stuff.
These are the people I love most to be around. They are quiet and stay in action, but make no mistake. In my book they are rock stars that shine with a far greater light than anything Hollywood has begun to dream of.
A footnote – the photo of Brent with his cast? I sure hope he gets mobility of that finger back – it might be tough getting taken seriously if it atrophies in that position.
Today, I am grateful for true friends.
