Hi, I need create a twitter widget to search tweets from a specific account that carry a specific hashtag. I seem to remember that I was able to do this 4-6 weeks ago by visiting the twitter resources page here: https://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets/widget_search and clicking on the 'advanced' options - This no longer seems to work though (The advanced options page won't load for me). From what I can remember, it required the addition of some code to the standard widget code (pasted below). The widget code below returns tweets that mention the word rainbow. Does anybody know what I need to add to that code to return tweets from a specific account that mention the word 'rainbow' (for example only tweets from the account @justinbieber that mention the term 'rainbow')?
code

I'm trying to unhide recent activity on my Facebook wall. I changed the settings before the move to a more 'circle' type privacy update. However I have a different privacy page to everyone (ie my friends) and to the one that the Facebook help points you to - it seems like I'm on a beta version (though I don't know why).
Do you know how to change hide/unhide recent activity on this new Facebook privacy page: File:Facebook screen shot.jpg

I am working on Windows Vista and I am looking for a way to launch programs from a batch file / command line with administrative permissions without having to enter an administrator password. Some background: I am working on a Python script that is launched as part of an overnight scheduled task. The Python script launch other applications and even launches some setup programs that require administrator rights. In Windows XP this works fine but in Windows Vista and later there needs to be user interaction. I would rather not just run the whole Python script as administrator because most of what it does does not require administrator privileges. Similarly I would rather not just turn off UAC.
On Linux I am able to use the sudo command to achieve what I am doing. I tried to use the runas command in Windows but it still needs to have me enter the password and there is no obvious way (to me at least) to save that password and the script to just use it. It is fine with me if I can have the password stored in a text file and have Windows use that to provide the authentication but how to do it is eluding me. Does anyone know any solutions to this quagmire? I have looked around msdn and the internet to no avail.
