1. This is a Live Auction which includes an important Mail Bid/Absentee Only Section.
2. Live (Floor) Bidding: Please arrive a few minutes early to check in and receive your bidding paddle. We will open lots with more than one bid at the current high absentee bid or 50% of the low estimate at the auctioneer's discretion. Please be sure to bid on the correct lots during the live auction. Our auction progress is at a rate of between 150 and 240 lots per hour. When the auctioneer says "sold", he will identify the successful bidder by number and announce the winning bid amount. If you are not sure whether you won the lot or not, it is your responsibility to ask for clarification immediately. Tie bids are awarded to the first absentee bid placed if not advanced on the floor, or by a phone bidder, whoever is first. Auctioneer reserves the right to reopen the lot in the case of an immediate dispute at the actual time of the sale.
3. Telephone Bidding: Telephone bidding requests MUST be scheduled prior to this auction. If you do not schedule in advance, and choose instead to call on the day of the auction to request a line for bidding, you may find that we are unable to accommodate your request. Please limit your telephone bids to items of value greater than $500, or a string of items with a similar total.
4. Agent Bidding: There are numerous professional agents available to assist you should you require this service. Please contact the office for a list or to arrange for representation on the floor during the live auction.
5. Live Auction Absentee Bidding: Absentee bids for the live auction will be accepted until two hours prior to the start of the live auction. It is your responsibility to submit all lot numbers and bid amounts accurately. Absentee bids should be equal to at least 50% of the low estimate if an estimate is provided. Bids on "No Lots" or "Withdrawn" Lots are considered no bids. Bids made in amounts that do not conform to the bid increment table in item 9 below will be automatically rounded up or down by the computer, or rounded to the nearest proper bid increment at the discretion of the auctioneer.
6. Internet Bidding: Absentee and Live internet bidding are both available through our live auction network, ICollector. If you wish to bid LIVE via the internet, you MUST pre-register. A live video and sound feed will be accessible during the auction for those bidding via the internet. Absentee bids will also be accepted on this site until 8:00am PDT on the day of the sale. Bidding will reopen for the live portion when the auction starts. Absentee internet bidding for the Mail-Bid/Absentee Only Section of the auction will remain open until Tuesday, March 16th, 2011 5:00pm PDT.
7. Mail-Bid/Absentee Only Section Bidding: A portion of this sale is designated as "Mail-Bid" or "Absentee Only". The Mail-Bid/Absentee Only portion of the sale will close after the live auction, Tuesday March 16, 2011 at 5pm PDT. It is your responsibility to submit all lot numbers and bid amounts accurately. Absentee bids should be equal to at least 50% of the low estimate if an estimate is provided.
8. Reserves: Most of the lots in this auction are unreserved. Gold is generally reserved at or near spot, though it could be slightly below spot.
9. Bidding Increments: All bids must be submitted in U.S. dollars and in whole dollar amounts only in the appropriate increments as outlined below. IF you choose to submit bids in an increment not listed below, your bid will be rounded to the nearest increment and you will be expected to pay the amount to which the bid was rounded should your bid be the winning bid. If you have any questions about an appropriate bid amount, please call us.
From: To: Increment:
$0 $29 $1
$30 $95 $5
$100 $190 $10
$200 $475 $25
$500 $1,450 $50
$1,500 $3,400 $100
$3,500 $9,750 $250
$10,000 $max $500
10. Bid Reduction: All winning absentee bids will be reduced, if necessary, to the next bidding increment up from the last competing bid, as long as the minimum bid requirement has been met. For example, if you submit an absentee bid of $1000 and the next highest competing bid is $250, then you will win the lot for $275.
11. Bid Information: Collectors often ask in advance the price level of a particular lot. We will give out the current high absentee bid until we close the day before the live auction. You may also view absentee bids online at www.holabirdamericana.com.

The American television series scene is definitely something to brag about. Networks like ABC, FOX and CW keep churning quality series which have the production quality that contends with cinematic productions.
Most television series seek to keep their shows "authentic" and instil new blood in their cast, in order to retain the viewers' attention and expand their fan-base. Although these shows' biggest market is in the states, DVD releases and international syndications are definitely something that many producers pride in.

Blizzcon Planning!
I was at school all day, so I had to buy my ticket at the library. I logged in at 2:15 pm, about 15 minutes before the tickets went on sale. Then I realized: I totally didn't think to bring my authenticator. Ooops.
I crossed my fingers and quickly made myself a new account. It worked! And I finished it in time to refresh the ticket page a few times.
Then, after what felt like the longest 3 minutes of my life, a refresh brought up a different screen. I didn't even stop to think about how many tickets I wanted. I just slammed on the "purchase" button. At least, that's what I assume the button said. Reading it would have wasted too much time.
Aaaand my place on the queue?
Well, about that. Something like 2900. 20 minute wait.
I honestly didn't care either way if I got a ticket. If I didn't, I'd play tourist and party hard at night. If I did, then I'd look forward to the cinematics panel. (*shrug* I'm visual, I like cinematics.) So I was surprised at how much fun I had sitting in line, watching the queue get smaller, wondering if I'd get a ticket or not. I'm sort of tempted to buy another ticket on Wednesday, just for fun.
The Question of Accommodations
Which brings up the question of accommodations. I want to make reservations as soon as possible since rooms go fast, but I'm not sure what I want to do yet. Neither of my current guilds are doing Blizzcon and I don't know what my future West Coast guild will be doing because I don't know who my future West Coast guild will be. A few friends are going to Blizzcon, but either their taste is waaaay out of my budget, or they're staying with too many people I don't know for me to want to invite myself.
I could get my own room. I like my peace and quiet and I'll have a good job by October so money won't be as tight.
But then it would also be fun to have some people to show up at events with. Or people to listen to my all night ramblings.
I know that there are a few others solo Blizzcon travelers who are in the same boat, so if you'd like a roommate or several roommates, send me an email and I'll bake up some plans. I do cheap but classy. And near the convention center.
I'd, um, prefer female roommates, with this being the internet and all, but I would make exceptions for guys I know well. And, would prefer people that I've had some previous interaction with. I like adventure, but I'd kind of like to not share a room with an axe murderer. Or, less dramatically, someone unreliable.
Anyway, yeah, send me an email (not a comment) if you're interested and not creepy.

I've never roomed with anyone at Blizzcon. I'll probably have weird hours and if last year was any indication of how this year is going to play out – I'll probably be intoxicated each night and I'm not sure who'd want to put up with that! 😛
May 23, 2011 at 10:49 am
Hahaha, yeah, I remember what you're like when you're intoxicated ;D
I had the best roommate ever last year. He was as quiet as a mouse. He'd come in a few hours after me, so I'd just wake up to find this corpse in the other bed. He also didn't hog the bathroom.

At Accountlets we can advise companies in the Surrey area about group VAT registration. Here are some of the issues to consider.
VAT grouping occurs where two or more companies or limited liability partnerships are treated as a single taxable "person" for VAT purposes. A VAT group is treated in the same way as a single company registered for VAT on its own.
In general, the members of the group each have to have an establishment in the UK and be under common control. There are special conditions for VAT groups with an annual turnover of more than £10 million.
Advantages of group registration are:
Disadvantages are:
As with most other areas of the tax system, VAT Groups are subject to detailed anti-avoidance provisions.
If you're based in the Surrey area and would like further advice on VAT group registration, please contact Accountlets.

Android users don't need to worry about getting a busted Gmail client pushed to them. Every Android device you buy has a great Gmail app that is improving all the time. But maybe the Gmail app doesn't strike your fancy, or you need to integrate non-Gmail email accounts with your phone. Well, in that case, it's off to the Android Market.
There are a number of apps available, and not all of them are the best at everything. Let's take a look at alternative email clients and see how they stack up.
K-9 Mail
K-9 is one of the most popular non-Gmail email clients on Android, and with good reason. This is a community-driven, open source project that is constantly being improved. While this is not a Gmail client, it is designed with Gmail in mind. That means that non-Gmail accounts you add will gain a few interesting features.
When you open the app, your existing mail accounts will be listed down toward the bottom, but up top is the Unified Inbox, as well as a folder that holds all your messages, read or not. We like the unified inbox, especially when working with non-Gmail accounts. The all messages folder also makes this app perfect for searching.
K-9 uses IMAP on supported accounts, so you get very Gmail-like push notifications. Any non-Gmail accounts that are added can make use of stars, just like Google's system. This is handy for use in the app, but they won't sync anywhere if the account doesn't support it. Like the Gmail app, K-9 has multiple message management with check marks next to each message. These are only shown when a message is selected to save space. A swipe from left ot right selects messages, which is a nice touch.
There is support for Exchange 2003 and 2007, but it lacks many of the features IT deportments require. K-9 makes plenty of allowances for non-Gmail accounts, but still keeps some features of Gmail around. Searching is very good here, but the app won't do any sort of message queueing for offline use. Still, K-9 Mail is free and manages email well.
Touchdown (Exchange) for Android
If you need a full-featured Exchange solution for Android, then Touchdown is what you need. It has full support for Microsoft Activesync and Exchange Web Services. That means that not only can you get your email pushed down, but your calendar, contacts, and tasks as well.
Many IT departments requite certain features to allow a device on its network. More than likely Touchdown has them. It supports PIN lock, device wipe, encryption, and remote administration. Interestingly, if your employer has to remote wipe the enterprise data, it won't affect the rest of the phone.
The user interface in Touchdown is a little dated, particularly in the calendar app. There are a lot of gradients and scrunched views with too many buttons. When it comes down to it, this app isn't really about looking good, it's designed to support enterprise features that are missing from the OS. There is a 30 day free trial, but after that, a Touchdown license will run you $20. Definitely worth it if you can expense it.
This app is written from the ground up to be a complete replacement mail app that can handle Gmail and other email accounts very well. Before even getting to the features of MailDroid, we should mention that it looks much nicer than it used to. The font is small, but not too small. It makes good use of date headers, and there is a useful menu bar up top.This client also supports IMAP, so mail push should be no problem. We actually found this a bit more responsive than K-9.
Rather than bring Gmail-style features in, MailDroid approximates the important ones, and then emphasizes general email features and a solid interface. The main screen in MailDroid lists your accounts, and has a unified inbox as well. There is also a Bookmarks section that links to Drafts, Outbox, and Sent folders.
Search is handled in a more robust way in this app. When you receive mail, MailDroid will cache the headers on the SD card. After a time, it will cycle the older ones out, but it helps with offline mail search. Similarly, if you want to compose mail with a sketchy data connection, or even no connection, MailDroid won't freak out. Mail that can't be sent lives in the outbox, and you can send it out once you have data again.
Exchange users can pick up this app, but it won't offer the full experience like Touchdown does. It only supports Exchange 2003 and 2007 with WebDav or EWS. There is a free ad-supported version of this app if you want to try it out. The full version is a whopping $17.99, though. If you have a few non-Gmail accounts, and maybe need to use Exchange just a bit, this might be worth it.
Enhanced Email
An app that just came to our attention recently is Enhanced Email. This is a light-weight custom email client that supports POP/IMAP as well as some features of exchange. The first thing users will notice is that the interface in Enhanced Email is clean, and efficient. The top of the accounts screen has a Combined Inbox for all your accounts, and the individual ones are below.
Next to the individual accounts is a folder link that pulls up the labels for Gmail accounts, and folders for non-Gmail/Exchange. There is a star system that will sync to Gmail, but other mail accounts can use it locally. The interface for reading mail has a slim menu bar at the top with buttons for paging through emails, which we quite like. Mail sync was as fast as any of the other apps.
If you're using Exchange, you get most of the features supported by Activesync on Exchange 2003-2010 SP1. There is push for mail, contacts, and calendar. While there is PIN lock support, we don't believe Enhanced Email supports remote wipe.
Search is fast in Enhanced Email, and there are soft keys for it throughout the UI. You will only be able to search mail on the device, unless you have server search through Exchange. You will be able to manage mail offline with Enhanced Email rather easily. All your messages will queue up in an outbox accessible via link below the combined inbox. When you have data, just pop that open and tap the Send All button to sync up.
So the UI for Enhanced Email is very nice, and it has a ton of features, but it isn't free. Enhanced Email for Android costs $10 in the Market. This app is great if you have a lot of accounts to manage, and you need some Exchange features. The developer has a 7-day trial on his site, but if you were considering spending $17.99 on MailDroid, check this out first.
Do you use a third-party email application on Android? Let us know which one, and how you like it.

Hi, I am very ( I mean very ) new to J2EE and web development. I have been working with J2SE for years now and I understand Java very well.
That being said, I have recently taken over a project that was being worked on by a co-worker who recently left the company. The project is running on Tomcat 5.5 and using Java 1.5 with AJAX, Hibernate, Struts and Tiles.
What I am trying to fix is a section of code where there is a page with a box for comments that the user of the web site can place whatever they want into. Sometimes they would like to place a + or % symbol in the comment box.
However, when they do so the symbols are not showing up on the other side. The reason is, they are using a POST command like a GET command and placing everything in the URL (yes all of the comment data is a key / value pair at the end of the URL).
Now, I am no web guru, but I do know that besides having character issues (reserved chars), there is that little limitation of 1024 characters...
Here is the code:
I have tried to place a key/value pair in the request.send("key=value") field to no avail. When I go into the execute method on the other end and try to retrieve the value based off of the key I get null.Code:function getDataDiv(urlString ) { createRequest(); var url = doublecheckHost() + urlString +"&rand=" + (Math.random() * 5); request.onreadystatechange = setDataDiv; request.open("POST", url, true); request.send(null); }
Can somebody recommend a fix for this, or something I can read that would give me a clue? I have been pouring over AJAX web pages and have found lots of suggestions, but none have worked thus far.
Thank you,

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones Hold Hands at N.Y.C. Restaurant
The pair were dining with a business associate at NYY Steak on Tuesday
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones certainly looked like a happily married couple when they were spotted dining together earlier this week at NYY Steak in Manhattan.
The pair – who took a break to work on and evaluate their marriage in August, but have been taking steps toward reconciling – were seen holding hands as they arrived for a dinner meeting with a business associate on Tuesday.
Douglas, 69, introduced Zeta-Jones, 44, as his wife, a source tells PEOPLE, and he was overheard chatting about his upcoming movie projects and said that he was excited about his future.
"He seemed in really good spirits," the source says. "They were both smiling and seemed very happy."
The trio sipped wine and dined on a seafood platter and dry-aged steaks – including the restaurant's signature steak bacon – in a private vault room.
Reps for the couple have declined to comment on whether they are back together.

Monday night was the chance for Adam Levine and Shakira to watch their teams of five sing for the right to remain on teams of three -- and to make the grueling decision on whom to send on to the live rounds. For Adam, that meant sticking with Delvin Choice, Christina Grimmie and Kat Perkins. For Shakira, that meant Tess Boyer, Kristen Merlen and Dani Moz.
That meant that Deja Hall and Patrick Thomson were departing Team Shakira, while Jake Barker and Morgan Wallen were leaving Team Adam.
It was Shakira's task to pick her finals-bound team first, and it was her resident country singer Kristen's task to prove that she belonged on it first. The confident bleached-blonde belter knocked the Carrie Underwood hit "Two Black Cadillacs" out of the park, to the delight of all the coaches -- most of all her own, who stood up grinning to applaud before she'd finished. Blake -- unnerved by the presence of so strong a country competitor -- declared her performance "as flawless as a live performance can be, by anybody," while Usher declared her "one of the strongest voices in the entire competition."
Tess Boyer earned her spot on the leaner Team Shakira with her soaring take on Christina Perri's "Human," which she began with moody, low-register murmurs before she growled her way to the crescendo. The undeniably strong performance had the coaches quibbling over their apparent error in letting Tess -- who had been dropped by Team Usher only to be stolen by and then dropped from Team Blake -- slip away. Adam, the only coach who hadn't worked with her, called Tess' one of the season's best performances. "Forget about it, I'll see you at the end of the show," he said.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Finally Dani secured her spot on the all-women Team Shakira with a stripped-down, piano-heavy take on the Lady Gaga hit "Edge of Glory." Dani delivered a plaintive, drama-filled take on the familiar song that sounded more like a Kurt Weill number than a dancefloor anthem -- though her over-the-top dramatic flourishes sometimes struck a sour note, after Shakira's advice that she let her guard down a bit. Usher said the performance brought him "close to tears," while Shakira admitted, "I never thought that this Gaga song was this emotional."
But while those three were heading on to the finals, two other members of Team Shakira -- Deja and Patrick -- were heading home. The coaches gave young Deja credit for tackling Jordin Sparks' "Battlefield" with a newfound confidence, though, and Usher told Patrick that his version of Ray LaMontagne's "Trouble" had finally given him a sense of what the gravelly-voiced singer was about. But it wasn't enough to redeem either.
Team Adam was heading to the chopping block next, and powerful soul singer Delvin was the first to survive it. The former Starbucks barista (and season five reject) was tackling Al Green's "Let's Stay Together," and despite the choice of an overexposed song (rule of thumb: Does YouTube video exist of the president singing it?), he imbued it with his signature rich tone and impressive vocal runs on the "Voice" stage. "There's nothing he can't do with his voice," Usher remarked, while even his own coach Adam termed his talent and growth "terrifying."
Kat Perkins, the team's resident rocker, survived it next, thanks to her reliably powerhouse take on Journey's "Open Arms," which was so strong it precluded much in the way of helpful commentary from the coaches. Usher proclaimed it "flawless" and stopped there, while Shakira praised how "emotional" and "committed" it was.
But pint-size Adam protegee Christina Grimmie, she of the pre-"Voice" YouTube fame, earned their coach's pick for the best performance of the night with her full-steam delivery of Jason Mraz's "I Won't Give Up." It earned her plaudits ranging from "the best singer on your team, right there" (courtesy of Blake) to "like baby Celine Dion or something" (courtesy of Usher, who must not listen to much Celine Dion to make that comparison). Christina's voice was huge, her performance committed and her energy electric.
Those three Team Adam members' successes came at the expense, though, of Jake, whose flourish-laden take on his own coach's song (Maroon 5's "She Will Be Loved") didn't quite live up, and of Morgan, whose solid if low-key rendition of Florida Georgia Line's "Stay" led Usher to kick himself for not having tasked Morgan (once his own team member) with country earlier in the competition.
Usher will get his chance to pare down his team Tuesday as playoffs continue on "The Voice."
"The Voice" airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c.

Dear Gossips,
I can't believe Michael Douglas won't be receiving an Oscar nomination for his work in Behind The Candelabra. Because he is BRILLIANT in Behind The Candelabra. An actor still at the very, very, very top of his game. And Matt Damon too. And Steven Soderbergh.
Behind The Candelabra is so f-cking good, I watched it twice last night, back to back. You know what the word is? It's a word I never, ever, ever use because it's so, so, SO overused:
But how else to say it? Fabulous, and sad, and hysterical. The kind of movie you keep playing, if only to learn the lines. What makes it even more fabulous is that fabulous was not their goal. They played it straight, no pun intended. In playing it straight, the authenticity gave way to the fabulous, organically. I truly believed in those 4 hours (two viewings, remember) that Michael Douglas and Matt Damon were lovers. Their first kiss was as intimate as any tender and awkward and tense and loving a kiss on film that I've ever seen. Their chemistry was so palpable, at times it actually seemed like a home video.
You know how Douglas can sometimes be interchangeable in his roles? Like his Andrew Shepherd in The American President (love that movie) is really just Gordon Gekko, but with morals? Well there's none of that in Behind The Candelabra. He totally transformed.
We need to watch this together on Sunday on HBO. Behind The Candelabra is exhilarating. My only regret is that the screen is too small. This belongs in a proper theatre.
Yours in gossip,

Pro Baseball Clips Walk, but Don't Run, to YouTube
Up till now, if you've found a highlight clip from a pro baseball game on YouTube, it probably wasn't supposed to be there: Major League Baseball has been diligent about keeping its stuff off the world's biggest video site. Now that is changing, with a pact to bring highlights and other goodies to YouTube. But it's not happening fast: Highlights for current games won't appear until two days after they're completed.

50.04 - Verifying Employment Eligibility for New Employees
Last updated February 15, 2008
A. General. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 requires the University to certify employment eligibility for new employees within 3 days of hire date. Because the certification process is combined with other new employee orientation procedures, including benefits enrollment, it is important that new employees attend orientation or visit Human Resources as soon as possible after hiring--preferably on the first day at work. Additionally, by executive order Governor Otter requires Idaho educational institutions to use the Employment Eligibility Verification Pilot Program, E-Verify, to verify employment eligibility of new employees. [rev. 2-08]
A-1. Legal Requirements.
i) Form I-9 Actions Required and Effective Date. The University of Idaho must verify identity and confirm eligibility to work in the United States for all employees hired after November 6, 1986, using the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) (formerly INS) Form I-9. [ed. 2-08]
ii) E-Verify Actions Required and Effective Date. The University of Idaho must verify identity and confirm eligibility to work in the United States for all new employees hired after January 28, 2008, using the E-Verify program provided by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services in partnership with the Social Security Administration. [add. 2-08]
iii) Form I-9 Required. The UI is required to maintain a valid Form I-9 on file for every employee currently on the payroll who was hired after November 6, 1986, and for a minimum of three years after such employees are hired or one year after the employee terminates employment, whichever is greater. [ren. & ed. 2-08]
iv) Proof of Verification Required. For every employee currently on the payroll whose identity and work eligibility was verified after January 27, 2008, the University of Idaho is required to keep with the completed Form I-9 the verification number provided by E-Verify. [add. 2-08]
v) Form I-9 Timing. Section 1 of the Form I-9 must be completed by the employee on or by the first day of work. Section 2 of the Form I-9 is required to be correctly completed within three days of the first day of work. BOTH Sections 1 and 2 of the Form I-9 must be completed on the first day of work IF the employee is expected to work less than three days. [ren. & ed. 2-08]
vi) E-Verify Timing. The E-Verify process must be initiated within three business days of the first day of work. The University must contact the employee as soon as possible to provide the employee an opportunity to contest a Tentative Non-confirmation. In the case of a Tentative Non-confirmation, the employee has eight Federal Government workdays from the date of referral to resolve the issue. The employee will not suffer any negative consequences during this process. [add. 2-08]
vii) Re-verification. The Form I-9 is required to be re-verified under three conditions. Specifically, (1) an employee changes his or her name; or (2) the employee's work authorization is about to expire (usually occurs when renewed documents or status changes are issued by the USCIS), or (3) the employee has had a break in service, and the Form I-9 is three years old or older. The E-Verify process cannot be used to re-verify the Form I-9. [ren. & rev. 2-08]
viii) Audit and Sanctions for Non-Compliance. The UI is subject to USCIS audit for compliance with this act, and the following sanctions for non-compliance: [ren. 2-08]
a) Penalties for non-compliance range from $100 per incorrectly completed form; for technical violations up to $2,000 per unauthorized worker (for the first violation).
b) An employer who fails to complete a valid Form I-9 within three days from the time a new employee begins work, and continues to employ that employee, is subject to fines up to $5,000 for the second violation, and up to $10,000 per violation for subsequent violations. [ed. 2-08]
B. Process.
B-1. Verifying identity and eligibility to work, and completing tax and benefit forms is necessary to process payroll payments for all university employees.
B-2. Sign-up for all board-appointed employees (faculty and staff) is done through New Employee Registration Benefit Orientation (NERBO) presented by Benefit Services in Human Resources (HR). Sign-up for all other employees can be done during regular University business hours at HR [See 50.31].
i) For new employees, such as new faculty, who are appointed several weeks or months in advance of the date they are expected to report for work, processing can be accomplished by mail.
C. Procedures.
C-1. All Employees:
i) Prior to a new board appointed employee's first day at work the administrator extending an offer of employment (or designee):
a) Includes the following language in every letter of offer to a prospective employee: "This appointment is conditional upon satisfactory verification of eligibility to work in the United States through correct completion and submittal of United States Citizenship and Immigration Service I-9 Form to the University of Idaho by the end of the third day on which you perform services for the University." Additionally, the new employee should be directed to visit HR Website for documents and information needed to successfully complete the orientation paperwork.
b) Arranges for the new employee to begin work on Monday (unless the appointment coincides with the beginning of the fiscal year or a different day is required pursuant to the terms and conditions of a grant or contract, or Monday is a holiday).
c) Schedules new board appointed employees to attend New Employee Registration and Benefit Orientation (NERBO) within three days of beginning work. Orientations are held every Monday beginning at 8:30 a.m. at Human Resources.
ii) On the new employee's first day at work the department:
a) Ensures that a new board appointed employee attends the New Employee Registration and Benefits Orientation (NERBO) on the first Monday at work, so that the employee has the opportunity to become informed about applicable UI fringe benefits, complete benefit registration forms and complete Form I-9 verification. [ed. 2-08]
(i) Exception. Off-campus Employees. Because it is not practical for employees working in locations other than Moscow to travel to Moscow on their first day at work, administrators at those locations are responsible to complete the following employment processing procedures for new employees:
(a) Provide new employee orientation, if applicable. Obtain and immediately fax Form I-9, Form W-4, Social Security card, Visa, passport and other benefits documents to HR (208) 885-3602. [rev. 2-08]
(b) Mail the original Form I-9, verification number, and Form W-4 to HR the same day. Retain a copy of Form I-9 only until receiving confirmation that the original was received by HR. Destroy all copies using proper procedure to protect confidential employee information. [rev. 2-08]
(c) Contact HR for assistance in establishing consistent procedures for processing new employees.
iii) Within three days of a new employee's first day at work:
a) HR will verify that identification and employment eligibility have been appropriately documented and a valid Form I-9 is on file. [ed. 2-08]
b) If a valid Form I-9 is not on file at HR by the close of the third business day after the employee begins work, the hiring administrator must inform the employee that employment must be terminated immediately. [ed. 2-08]
c) If after following all E-Verify procedures, identity and work eligibility has not been confirmed, the hiring administrator must inform the employee that employment will be immediately terminated. [add. 2-08]
d) It is the responsibility of the hiring administrator to ensure an EPAF is entered to effect the appointment and termination, if necessary. In the event of termination, the hiring administrator must immediately inform the employee that employment is being terminated due to failure to present verification of eligibility to work in the United States. [ren. 2-08]
iv) Ongoing monitoring.
a) Employees whose initial Form I-9 documentation was valid for a specified period of time are responsible for re-verifying their employment eligibility. HR will monitor continued employment eligibility status for such employees. [ed. 2-08]
b) If employees with temporary employment eligibility do not re-verify eligibility, HR will immediately notify the departmental administrator.
c) Once notified, it is the departmental administrator's responsibility to terminate employment of employees whose status changes from "eligible to work" in the United States to "ineligible to work" and immediately inform the employee of that action.
D. Information. Call Employment Services at (208) 885-3728 for additional information regarding employment verification requirements for new employees.
D-1. Penalties for Non-compliance. Pursuant to the principle that accountability follows responsibility, financial responsibility for any penalties assessed against the University for non-compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which result from failure to adhere to these procedures, lies with the management unit responsible for the action which led to the violation.
D-2. Procedures May Change. These procedures may change. Changes are announced by HR as necessary.

Hitler: The Rise of Evil (2003)
Directed by Christian DuguayGenres - Drama | Sub-Genres - Biopic [feature] | Run Time - 240 min. | Countries - United States | MPAA Rating - NR
Share on
Synopsis by Hal Erickson
British actor Robert Carlyle stars as the 20th century's most infamous dictator in this two-part TV biopic. The film covers the life of Adolf Hitler from his childhood to his emergence as absolute ruler of Germany in 1934. Most of the ground covered should be familiar to history buffs: Hitler's failed efforts to become a great artist, his frustration at watching his adopted country fall apart at the seams during World War I, his resolve to put Germany back on its feet by exploiting the nation's horrendous postwar economic woes and its ingrained anti-Semitism, his 1923 arrest, the publication of Hitler's virulent screed Mein Kampf, the growing popularity of National Socialism, and the fatal error made by senile German chancellor Von Hindbenburg (Peter O'Toole) to "neutralize" Hitler by giving him a relatively unimportant political post in 1933. Also covered is Hitler's abortive romance with his half-niece Geli Raubal (Jena Malone) and his longer relationship with the estimable Eva Braun (Zoe Telford). Given the difficulties faced by actor Carlyle and the screenwriters to successfully convey pure, unadulterated evil, much of what we learn about Hitler is conveyed by the observations and reactions of other characters, notably crusading but ineffectual anti-Nazi journalist Fritz Gerlich (Matthew Modine), and especially German publisher Ernst Hanfstaengl (Liev Schreiber) and his wife, Helene (Julianna Margulies). Originally a staunch supporter of Hitler, Hanfstaengl eventually comes to realize the danger the man poses to the world ("He's not human. He simply studies others to become human."); in contrast, Helene, who at the outset is vaguely opposed to National Socialism, is ultimately seduced and swept up by the movement. Not surprisingly, this film stirred up a great deal of controversy even before it aired; some Jewish leaders and prominent Holocaust survivors worried that Hitler might come off as being sympathetic (a concern that may have dictated altering the film's title, which was to have been Hitler: The Early Years); and one of the film's producers was summarily dismissed after issuing a public statement which seemed to compare Germany's blind, unthinking allegiance to Hitler to America's rallying behind George W. Bush during the Iraq crisis. Hitler: The Rise of Evil originally aired May 18 and 20, 2003, on CBS.

Early Thursday evening people gathered to give Wounded Warriors the gift of family for Christmas.
Early Thursday evening people gathered to give Wounded Warriors the gift of family for Christmas.
Despite an accident, which snarled U.S. 70 traffic through Havelock beginning about 4:30 p.m., New Bern Country Club parking lot was filled before 6 p.m. for the reception with music, food and a patriotic program to express appreciation and raise Christmas leave cash for nearly 400 Wounded Warriors, many were from the Wounded Warrior Barracks at Camp Lejeune.
It was scheduled for the seventh year by a group including Tom Braaten, Steve Tyson and Harry Blot to assist National Welfare Officer for Military Order of Purple Heart Jim Casti of Newport who has help raise $1.6 million over the past six years to connect Wounded Warriors with their families at Christmastime.
As soon as the Marines bus rolled in, Casti spotted one with three Purple Hearts, Staff Sgt. Adel Abudayeh, who earned the medals on his chest along with the Purple Hearts during combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
In the men�s locker room while the Southern Gentlemen barbershop quartet practiced to greet and perform, Abudayeh told his story that except for the birth of his now five-year-old son could be called �Never in November.�
A U.S. citizen who grew up in Honduras, Abudayeh said his uncle in the U.S. Army convinced him to go into the service.
�He wanted me to follow in his footsteps but I joined the Marine Corps,� he said, trained for the infantry and shipped out to Iraq in 2003.
Deployed with the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines from Camp Pendleton, Calif., Abudayeh said �on that first day we lost two guys in the first couple of hours and they kept going down; the platoon got small and I got shrapnel in my face.�
He recovered and said �on Nov. 13, we were clearing a house and one of the rooms was booby trapped and I lost a good friend� and was injured again. �I went to the hospital and on the 17th of November I got the news� that his best friend had been killed in that battle.
�I decided to go back to the front and on Nov. 20 I was hit again,� said Abudayeh, this time in the leg,� he said.
After coming home and deploying again, this time to Afghanistan with the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines, �in November, Nov. 2009, I got hit by a couple of IED�s, one hit me in the shoulder.�
With 12 years in the infantry and wounds in the leg, thigh, arm and head, Abudayeh said, �I am fighting to stay in, to do 20.� The fight is mostly to convince his wife, who is from St. Louis, which he now calls home, although he is stationed now and the family lives at Camp Lejeune.
They want to go home for Christmas and Casti said it is going to happen. �It�s been tough sometimes, but we�ve never left one we couldn�t get home.�
This year, it is expected to cost more than $320,000 to help all the Marines at area Wounded Warrior Barracks and about $179,000 of that has come in checks small and large was in the bank for the project as of Thursday morning.
Also present in his wheel chair with wife, Stephanie, was Eric Edmundson, a local Wounded Warrior whose father�s early efforts to champion the cause for good medical and long term care for Eric and other troops injured in Iraq and Afghanistan helped highlight the need for more emphasis on the Wounded Warrior Project.
Edmundson, who was badly wounded by roadside bomb while on patrol near the Iraq/Syrian border in 2005, is already at home after stirring the hearts of the New Bern area community which banded together to build he and his wife and daughter a house here.
Sponsors of Thursday�s event are hoping those hearts are stirred again so they can tie a bow around the Christmas package for today�s Wounded Warriors.
Casti said, �We have to have the money in the bank by Dec. 12. If any arrives after that, we put it in an Emergency Fund and if a Wounded Warrior loses an immediate family member, we�ll send them home.�
Any individual, church, or group wishing to aid the effort to make this Christmas more joyful for those who have sacrificed for the country may still donate by sending a check payable to Wounded Warrior Leave and sent to Jim Casti, 2214 Park Avenue, P.O. Box 639, Newport, NC 28570-9649.

Developing ActiveSync Service Providers: The First Look
Why You Need It
Mobile applications are getting more powerful even faster than you can imagine. Data management gets more complex, functionality becomes richer, and so forth. In such situations, the role of data synchronization between PDA and desktop computer cannot be underestimated. If you develop a companion application, you should implement ActiveSync facilities wherever you can. There is no doubt that it will make your product more attractive, no matter what type of data synchronization you will choose: manual or continuous. The only sad point here is that it is really annoying. You have to write a lot of code at both sides, device and desktop, to get something worked. Nevertheless, it is worth doing.
What ActiveSync Service Provider Is
Following the common ActiveSync trend, ActiveSync Service Providers are DLLs that either export a set of predefined functions (PDA) or implement a full-featured COM (desktop). Yes, there are two parts to this story, PDA and desktop, and they are the players that will interact during synchronization sessions via ActiveSync as an intermediate entity.
MS ActiveSync Data Structure
- Store
- Folder 1
- Item 1
- Item 2
- ...
- Folder 2
- Item 1
- Item 2
- ...
ActiveSync uses the same hierarchy for its data. The very basic unit of synchronization process is the Item. It has two main features:
- Unique object identifier (OID) that separates this very item from all others; usually, OIDs are just timestamps
- Some value to make a decision whether the item was modified; once again, the timestamp of the latest modification will do
Due to their uniqueness, Item identifiers cannot be reused. Moreover, they have to be ordered to determine where to place a particular Item.
ActiveSync stores data items in a repl.dat file for each device profil founde. Therefore, you should make Item as small as possible. ActiveSync will manipulate this data via the HREPLITEM pointer type.
The next level of hierarchy is the Folder. It contains a group of Items of similar type. Using a single folder for your Items makes all programming easier. Folder identification is up to you; ActiveSync will manage it through a HREPLFLD pointer type.
And finally, Store keeps folders. It has a unique identifier. Both desktop and PDA should use the same store ID to be linked. Actually, the store ID is ProgID. You can utilize a database, or even a flat file, for storage.
The last, but not the least thing, is that all ActiveSync data things (HREPLITEM, HREPLFLD) are used only for the desktop component; the Windows CE DLL has nothing to do with it.
Implementing device part of ASP
Your tour of ActiveSync Service Providers will commence with the handheld DLL because it is much simpler than its desktop buddy. As you have heard before, the device ASP is a standard DLL thT exports the following functions:
; DevASPSimple.def - Declares the module parameters for the DLL. LIBRARY DEVASPSIMPLE.DLL EXPORTS InitObjType ObjectNotify GetObjTypeInfo ReportStatus
In addition, you have to implement the IReplObjectHandler interface. It will be used to perform required conversions of your items from/to byte representation. You don't need to code 'real' COM object here; simple inheritance will do. All the rest of the device ASP components will deal with data manipulation, and can be shared with your main application.
So, consider what is inside a device-part of ASP. You will see a purpose and an implementation of each exported function one by one.
InitObjTypeThis function is called by the ActiveSync manager when your provider is about to be started and terminated. Here is a place where you may perform any desired initialization or cleanup. Besides, InitObjType creates an instance of the IReplObjHandler object. Here is the exact signature:
typedef BOOL (*PINITOBJPROC)( LPWSTR lpszObjType, IReplObjHandler **ppObjHandler, UINT uPartnerBit );
The typedef above reveals all the business. Your custom ASP may support several object types, so you have a lpszObjType parameter to indicate which one is required. At the termination stage, it will have a NULL value. Next, ppObjHandler will get a pointer to the newly created object. The last parameter is uPartnerBit. A Windows CE powered handheld can establish a partnership with only two desktop computers at a time, so this parameter indicates which one it is recently connected to, being equal to 1 or 2 respectively.
When any change occurs in a Windows CE object store, all available (loaded, actually) ActiveSync Service Providers are notified of what has happened. ObjectNotify is a way that your provider will get such notification:
typedef BOOL (*POBJNOTIFYPROC)( POBJNOTIFY );
The only parameter is a pointer to OBJNOTIFY struct, which keeps all information about changes. Its members give you a detailed picture of the change: type, object identifier, and so forth. This function should return TRUE if the particular item can be synchronized by your provider, or FALSE otherwise. Probably an obvious yet important thing is that the provider must check to whom the changed item belongs.
At the moment ActiveSync manager is about to perform some action on your data, it needs to gather information about what's being synchronized. The GetObjTypeInfo exported function serves this purpose:
typedef BOOL (*PGETOBJTYPEINFO)( POBJTYPEINFO );
The OBJTYPEINFO struct contains a few members that provide ActiveSync with details about the name of the object, total data size, number of synchronized items, and the last modification time stamp.
ActiveSync calls this function to inform ASP about various events occuring during the synchronization session:
typedef BOOL (*PREPORTSTATUS)( LPWSTR lpszObjType, UINT uCode, UINT uParam );
uCode and uParam give you synchronization status info:
BOOL CASPSimpleStore::ReportStatus(LPWSTR lpszObjType, UINT uCode, UINT uParam) { // // TODO: Called to inform provider of sync events. // Add code to handle these events. // switch(uCode) { case RSC_BEGIN_SYNC: break; case RSC_END_SYNC: break; ... } return TRUE; }

Is anyone doing Object Oriented Programming with Plain Ol' C?
The very idea of using something as fast as C for OOP makes me very excited. I'm not talking about objective-c or C++. You can google "object oriented C" and there will be a pdf that pops up of a book, an article someone wrote explaining how to write C in an OOP way.
Since I'm basically an Action Script 3.0 programmer, I'm wondering have any one who programms in C tried using the OOP methods described?
And, how do you like it?
I never liked OOP languages and all their overly complex concepts. They're too abstract and "detached" from the machine, if you see what I mean.
I feel at home with C and assembly.
Uh, sorry for the totally useless post.
May the source be with you!
Most of the things that people tout as the advantages of OOP, are exactly the things you should be doing with or without it.
Programming in C with a more `object oriented` nature generally applies to making wiser use of data structures and pointers then the newbie will often first consider. You might consider a look at LibWWW or GTK+ (C bindings, not C++).
On a side note:
Typical game implementations that I've seen, either build their control handling as a massive switch over key events (I believe even vi did this), or create a input management class that invokes a method on a registered objects descended from abstract base class XYZ after looking up the binding. Registering callbacks some times even saves a pointer to some special object rather then a function pointer. This generally sucks up costs for (several) vtable operations, numerous method resolutions, will likely incur dynamic memory allocations in the data structures, and some people will even process the controls in a O(n) like fashion every frame.
The system I've been piecing together for Stargella, polls input events and uses the key that was pressed to index into a table of function pointers: which is effectively a sniper shot compared to using std::map or related bits of C++ voodoo. Making my system more of a simple matter of pointer arithmetic to trigger the call backs, then would be the cost of hunting it down through an STL map, vector, or list (etc).
That is a fair difference between `typical C++` and `typical C` was of implementing the same thing.
A more objectual change, will be making the game register structures instead of funcptrs with the input system, allowing one to more easily change the concept of a keybinding without complicating the input system. The main reason for the change, being to bundle the question of whether input handling for control XYZ is supposed to be buffered or unbuffered, etc.
and without having to deal with the hell they call C++ OOP :-P.
My Journal
Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays), for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type ``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''.
I like what I've been hearing about C. I like that it is fast and simple. It's like a tank or cannon. Simple, reliable, and ubiquitous. It runs everything above it, which is everything most people use the computer for. Then only thing beneath it is assembly and machine code. It like feeding bullets into a machine gun and shooting the gun at the same time. You are right in the middle of the power a computer has, not the being shot at if you can understand my analogy.
C can do anything and do it better than any other language today and doesn't consume the overhead they do.
I'm definitely going punch away at writing more C code and nailing those graphics frameworks down like Cairo and Gtk+.
There are many bindings for using Cairo and GTK from HLL and OOP languages. But they're both written in C.
May the source be with you!

One of my friend installed Oracle first time. After installation, he just wants to make sure everything is working fine so he called me. If you are installing oracle for Unix/Linux oses first time then it will confuse you. He wanted to know how to start oracle service and test it. He emailed me the following error:
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
You need to add following line to oracle user's .bash_profile file for testing purpose (once it is tested, you can give control to Oracle DBA) (login as a oracle user):
$ cd;vi .bash_profile
Append following lines:
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
Save file. Just load the above settings:
$ . .bash_profile
Start oracle Net listing service:
$ lsnrctl start
ALTERNATIVELY use full path:
$ /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/lsnrctl start
Start oracle database:
$ dbstart
ALTERNATIVELY, use full path:
$ /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/dbstart
Connect to Oracle database with sqlplus client (test it with scott username):
$ sqlplus "scott/tiger"
sql> select * from tab;
To shutdown Oracle database:
$ lsnrctl stop
$ dbshut
Further readings:
If you are new to Oracle try out Oracle Database 10g Documentation library, especially 2 Day DBA is fantastic document. Do not forget check out John Smiley's "Installing Oracle Database 10g Release 2 on Linux x86" article. It will teach you the basics of installing Oracle Database 10g Release 2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Novell SUSE Enterprise Linux, from the bare metal up.

Porsche is readying the Porsche Panamera for a world debut at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show. In preparation, they've set out to prove it can walk on water, Jesus-style, better than the competition.
While drinking some beers this evening on my Huangpu River-front apartment balcony in Pudong Shanghai, I happened to notice one of the many Chinese TV boats playing a Porsche Panamera preview as it passed by. Intrigued, I grabbed my camera and shot a couple of quick shots before it got away.
Not content with seeing the Panamera defeat the laws of physics on the river, I'll also be bringing you live coverage of all the rest of the hoopla from the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show floor next week.
