Carnegie Science Center opened on October 5, 1991. Our story is not unlike the story of the river that flows past our doorstep. Just as the Allegheny and the Monongahela converge to create the great Ohio, two very unique local institutions joined to create this exciting museum.
Pittsburgh industrialist and steel magnate Andrew Carnegie envisioned a cultural complex where Pittsburghers of every age, occupation and income could enjoy what he called the "noble quartet: art, science, music and literature." The Carnegie Institute, which originally included the Museum of Natural History, Museum of Art, Library and Music Hall, opened November 25, 1895, in Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood. From its inception, the Carnegie strove to bring contemporary developments in the "four nobles to the public". In a time before mass media, the only way for common Pittsburghers to see what artists and researchers from the US and around the world were doing was to bring samples of their work to Pittsburgh by ship and by train - aircraft and tractor-trailers were yet to be invented! This mission led to the creation of the Carnegie International art exhibition in 1896 and powered the Institute's efforts in collecting the fossil dinosaur bones for which it is still known today. When Carnegie died in 1919, he had given away the great majority of his fabulous wealth. The Museums and Library stand today as a distinctive reminder of the fortune he made in the steel industry and remain as a testament to Carnegie's vision and generosity.
On October 24, 1939, Pittsburgh became home to the fifth major planetarium in the United States, the Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science. The Buhl was a gift to the people of Pittsburgh from the $11 million Buhl Foundation in memory of its founder, Henry Buhl, Jr. (1856-1927). Mr. Buhl made his fortune as co-owner of the successful Boggs and Buhl Department Store on the Northside, and specifically suggested that part of his foundation funds be used to support initiatives in his beloved neighborhood. To this end, the foundation endowed the Buhl, with a planetarium in honor of Henry's wife Louise.
The Buhl became a gateway to scientific knowledge and careers in scientific pursuits for generations of Pittsburghers. Its centerpiece was the "Theater of the Stars," a planetarium featuring a Model II Zeiss Star Projector that could accurately display 9,000 of the brightest stars in the sky. The Buhl housed a Foucault Pendulum, a device that demonstrates the earth's rotation on its axis. On the rooftop, a siderostat telescope automatically followed a star or planet across the sky. The Buhl also had some of the world's first interactive exhibits, which featured push buttons that set off alarms in a control room, where a staff person would play the appropriate record to provide an audio explanation of the exhibit - the height of innovation at the time!
Always devoted to public education, the Buhl encouraged young people to explore the world of science and became the meeting place for dozens of groups interested in scientific and technological pursuits. The Buhl was a model for supporting the scientific education of the people of Pittsburgh, initiating the prestigious science fair that still engages young scientists today. During World War II, it trained the military in celestial navigation. In 1954, the Miniature Railroad & Village® opened at the Buhl, combining model trains with western Pennsylvania history. In 1958, the Buhl began the Junior Space Academy as a local response to the launch of Sputnik and the dawn of the Space Age.
By the 1980s, the original Buhl building was aging and options for expansion and growth were considered. When expansion of the existing building was ruled out, the site where Carnegie Science Center now stands was chosen for the Buhl's relocation. As options for expansion of the newly renamed Buhl Science Center were explored, it became apparent that a whole new institution was evolving, requiring increased staffing in development, building services, science education and public relations.
At this point, the Carnegie Institute indicated an interest in merging with the Buhl. The merger was completed with the approval of each institution's Board in 1987, and in 1989, the new building planned for the banks of the Ohio River was renamed Carnegie Science Center. Ground was broken on October 5, 1989, and Carnegie Science Center opened two years later. The Henry Buhl, Jr. Planetarium and Observatory was reinvented in the new facility, becoming a mainstay of the CSC experience.
Today, people from around the globe recognize the name and reputation of Carnegie Science Center, its traveling exhibits, and planetarium shows. From Atlantic to Pacific, Europe to Australia, programs and exhibits developed by Carnegie Science Center enlighten, inspire, and entertain scores of museum and planetarium visitors. The Science Center is a national example for integration into its community, and in 2003 was recognized for its exceptional level of community service with the National Award for Museum Service, the highest honor of its kind, at a White House ceremony with First Lady Laura Bush. Closer to home, former visitors to the Buhl and Carnegie Science Center tell of the experiences that inspired them to become scientists, educators, entrepreneurs… even astronauts and Olympic athletes!

A D.C. Superior Court jury earlier today found Christian Washington guilty of one count of threats to do bodily harm and one count of simple assault, both with bias enhancements, for his role in attacking Yazzmen Morse as she and several female friends walked toward the Columbia Heights Metro station in July 2011. The case involved a group of women who declined unwanted advances from a group of men, advising the men that they were lesbians, which led to a brawl.
The jury found Washington's co-defendant and brother, Dalonte Washington, not guilty of simple assault against Kiara Johnson and Dominique McKee during the fight that ensued after Christian Washington knocked Morse to the ground.
Witnesses for the government, including Morse, Johnson and Aziza Crimmins, were unable to confirm that they had actually seen Dalonte Washington hit Johnson or McKee. Johnson said she had not seen who hit her when she ran over to help Morse.
According to the women, they were walking along 14th Street NW in Columbia Heights between the IHOP restaurant at Irving Street and the 7-11 at Columbia Road NW when the Washington brothers and an unknown number of other men approached them. The women told the men they were not interested, and Johnson commented that her girlfriend, Morse, was nearby.
After hearing that Morse and Johnson were lesbians, Christian Washington said he would "kick [Morse's] ass" and punched her in her face, causing her to fall to the ground. As soon as Morse fell, the other women rushed to assist her. The women testified that at that point Dalonte Washington attacked them. Crimmins said that, after being knocked out for a moment, she grabbed a nearby hose and sprayed the attackers. A security guard at the IHOP arrived and broke up the fight, followed by officers from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).
Police officers responding to the scene of the attack did not make any arrests or take a police report at the time, though they did eventually take full reports from the women. Following outcry from the LGBT community regarding the initial failure to make arrests or take reports, MPD launched an internal investigation of at least seven of the officers involved.
Following the jury's verdict, Judge Florence Pan ordered Christian Washington held without bond as he awaits sentencing, scheduled for Nov. 8.

How does the language settings in the Xbox 360 work.
I have set the "Console Settings" > "Language/Locale" to "English/Sweden" and all the words in the settings menu are in English. But as soon as I go to the Dashboard everything is in Swedish.
Is there a separate language settings for the Dashboard, or is it a bug in the system?

When he was 13 years old, John Servati came to a youth swim meet at the University of Alabama.
The kid from Tupelo, Miss., asked his Shockwave Aquatics Swim Team coach, Lucas Smith, a question. "He was already pretty fast," Smith recalled. "He said, 'Coach, do you think I'll ever be fast enough to go to Alabama? This is where I want to go.'
When he was 13 years old, John Servati came to a youth swim meet at the University of Alabama.
The kid from Tupelo, Miss., asked his Shockwave Aquatics Swim Team coach, Lucas Smith, a question.
"He was already pretty fast," Smith recalled. "He said, 'Coach, do you think I'll ever be fast enough to go to Alabama? This is where I want to go.'
"I told him, 'You could make it here one day. I think that you can.' He looked at me and said, 'Really? Coach, thank you for saying that.'
"It was one of those kid dreams that got fulfilled. He couldn't wait to get there when he signed."
Servati, a 21-year-old junior and a member of the UA swimming and diving team, died at DCH Regional Medical Center from injuries sustained when a retaining wall collapsed on him in the basement of a home on 22nd Avenue. He and his girlfriend were taking refuge from the storms Monday when the wall collapsed.
UA confirmed his death Tuesday morning.
Smith coached Servati from age 11. He got the news Monday night around 11:45 p.m. that Servati was being taken to the hospital. Less than an hour later, he received word that the young swimmer had died.
"It gets harder as the shock wears off," Smith said. "When a kid dies, it's hard to take. It's one of those things, he was just a golden child.
"I've been getting texts and emails and phone calls. A lot of them are his former teammates who are from Tupelo who swam with him when he was in high school but don't swim in college. John was a stallion. It's hard to believe it when it happens to someone like that."
Smith admired his former pupil, and not just for his swimming ability.
"I don't know where to begin," Smith said. "Man, as a person, John was a great guy. He was a great Christian, he was strong in his faith. You could tell that by the way he lived his life, not the way he talked about it.
"He cared. This summer he couldn't wait to go to some Christian camp and help others."
That quality carried over to his time at UA, where he did volunteer work with Big Brothers Big Sisters of West Alabama and area churches.
"This is a young man who volunteered to help me coach my son's baseball team last year, coach-pitch baseball team," said UA assistant coach James Barber. "In fact, he was going to start working my son's baseball team this week. He was always quick to say I'll help you do this or move that. He was that kind of guy."
Barber recalled Servati's recruiting visit in the fall of his senior year of high school. He went to an Alabama football game and to a reception at the Alabama Aquatic Center.
"John, he had a very strong grip, he was a strong guy," Barber said. "I remember John coming up and shaking my hand and telling me how great it was here and he wanted to be a member of the Crimson Tide family.
"I'll always remember John for the big smile, the big heart and the big handshake."
Anna Rae Gwarjanski, a senior UA swimmer, posted on her Twitter account that Servati "died a hero. Held up a concrete wall long enough for his girlfriend to get out from under it before it collapsed again on him."
Said UA team captain Phillip Deaton, "John was a hero every day, just constantly doing great things, so the fact that he did that doesn't surprise me at all."
Smith remembers Servati for being a teammate as much as for being a superior athlete.
"He was always a hard worker," Smith said. "It didn't matter how hard the workout was or what kind of day he'd had, he'd always find a way to get through it and go hard. As a teammate, John would always push himself to go faster just to help his team.
"John spent a lot of his time trying to motivate others. He was a servant. One of the neat things about John was if somebody was trying to get better on a certain part of a race, he would go help them. He helped people his own age, or if it was a younger kid he would say, 'Coach, I've got this,' and go help them.
"He loved it when other people on the team swam fast. That's rare. A lot of people don't have that quality."
Deaton swam with Servati and also lived with him when the two were freshman roommates. They often roomed together at road meets.
"He had just a genuine heart, he cared about every one of his teammates," Deaton said. "I can definitely say he's one of the best teammates I've ever had. He pushed me as a swimmer and as a person, and I'll miss him very much.
"My freshman year, we swim the same events so we're competing against each other and together. I'll never forget one of the dual meets in the spring semester we both swam some really fast backstroke times and he just got out of the pool and gave me a great big hug. He was happy for himself, but probably more so happy for me that we had just accomplished a goal together."
Alabama head swimming and diving coach Dennis Pursley was out of town on a recruiting trip, but issued a statement.
"John Servati was an extraordinary young man of great character and warmth who had a tremendously giving spirit," Pursley said. "During this incredibly difficult time, our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and to all who had the good fortune to know him. He will forever be in our hearts and a part of the Crimson Tide legacy."
Servati, a general business major, was recently one of a dozen UA swimmers named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll, an honor reserved for those with at least a 3.0 grade-point average. Also a member of the dean's list, Servati swam freestyle and backstroke events for the Tide and scored at the Southeastern Conference championship meet.
Servati's teammates have met and been given access to grief counseling.
"The team, right now, they're managing the best they can," Barber said.
Said Deaton, "We're just sticking together and trying to get through it."
UA Director of Athletics Bill Battle also issued a statement.
"We are all saddened to learn of the untimely death of John Servati," Battle said. "He was a model student-athlete who excelled in his sport of swimming, his pursuit of excellence in academics, and his value as a son, brother, friend and teammate to all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to John's family and friends as we grieve his passing."

On October 1, 1987, Rockingham County switched from the contracted attorney model to employing a full-time County Attorney and establishing a Legal Department. Under this arrangement, the County Attorney is a regular local government employee, is paid a salary, and works only on County legal matters. Currently, the staff of the Legal Department consists of the County Attorney, a full-time legal assistant, and two part-time paralegals.
A County Attorney needs to be a generalist, but also have some specialized knowledge of local government law. He or she must be knowledgeable in such general areas as contract law, employment law, civil procedure, and trial practice, as well as specific local government legal matters (i.e., governing Board procedure, open meetings, public records, purchasing, property tax assessment and collections, budget and financial procedures, and zoning). From time to time, a county with a full-time attorney may also retain outside counsel for specialized or unusually complex litigation since, as a practical matter, a full-time county attorney could not be devoted to complex or specialized litigation without impairing the quality of service he or she routinely renders the County in day-to-day matters.
County Attorneys must be able to work and communicate effectively with public officials, County employees, the press, and the public. The attorney must be able to understand the job requirements of administrators like the County Manager and department heads and give accurate and practical legal advice. The County Attorney must represent all commissioners effectively, even if those commissioners do not agree among themselves, in order to assist the governing board as a whole in achieving its goals for the delivery of services to the citizens.

Game #127: Jays at Angels pregame
ANAHEIM — Ah, sunny California. I arrived on Wednesday and made it over to my cousin's house, where my Aunt whipped up some awesome homemade enchiladas. Now, I'm chilling in the open-air pressbox here at Angel Stadium, which is one of y favorite parks to work in. The clubhouse before today's game sure didn't have the feel of one occupied by a team that just got swept by the A's at home. There were plenty of Jays lounging on the couches, cracking jokes and taking in the Japan vs. Tapei Little League World Series game. There was one funny exchange after one kid drove in a run. The first-base coach, one of the young players, was jumping and high fiving the teammate that just got the hit. Troy Glaus to Jays first-base coach Marty Pevey: "Next time somebody gets an RBI single, I want you jumping up and down over there." Pevey: "I'll do it." So, this trip is off to a nice start — except that my sunglasses broke about an hour ago. Ah, well…
On to today's pregame:
Toronto (63-63) at Los Angeles (74-52)
at 10:05 p.m. ET at Angel Stadium
Today's lineups:
Reed Johnson, LF
Lyle Overbay, 1B
Matt Stairs, RF
Vernon Wells, CF
Frank Thomas, DH
Troy Glaus, 3B
Aaron Hill, 2B
Gregg Zaun, C
Ray Olmedo, SS
PITCHING: RHP Jesse Litsch (4-6, 3.49 ERA)
Reggie Willits, DH
Orlando Cabrera, SS
Vlad Guerrero, RF
Garret Anderson, LF
Gary Matthews Jr., CF
Maicer Izturis, 3B
Howie Kendrick, 2B
Robb Quinlan, 1B
Ryan Budde, C
PITCHING: RHP Ervin Santana (5-11, 5.96 ERA)
NOTES: RF Alex Rios and SS John McDonald were given the day off. For Rios, it marks his first day of rest since May 13. The right fielder has played in 125 of Toronto's 126 games, making 124 starts. Since the break, Rios has hit .346. … Since Toronto pounded on 15 runs and went 9-for-18 with runners in scoring position on Aug. 8, the Jays have hit .154 (20-130) with RISP. Ouch. Over that 13 games span, Toronto has gone 6-7 with an average of 2.9 runs scored per game. Like GM J.P. Ricciardi, Toronto manager John Gibbons keeps supporting his players and said on Thursday that he didn't expect much change this winter: "Nobody knows what's going to take place, but there's not much room to add guys. We like the way it stacks up, but you never know who's available. You can't so 'No' to everything."
Should I really still be including the standings? Isn't reading this getting a little depressing for you Blue Jays fans? Let me know. I have the power to stop.
entering Thursday
1. Boston 76-51 (–)
2. New York 71-56 (5)
3. Toronto 63-63 (12.5)
4. Baltimore 58-67 (17)
5. Tampa Bay 48-78 (27.5)

2. New York 71-56 (1.5)
3. Detroit 68-58 (4)
4. Toronto 63-63 (9)
5. Minnesota 63-63 (9)
6. Oakland 64-64 (9)
TICK, TOCK…Since 1995, the runner-up in the AL Wild Card race has finished with an average of 89 victories. The Blue Jays would need to go 27-9 over their final 36 games to reach 90 wins.

Yeah, I'd say you can stop.
I say you can stop too.
How nice to see another team other than Toronto implode.
Litsch came to the game without his best stuff and he still kept his team in the game and gave them a chance to come back and this time they did come back so far.
Janson 8th inning only if you bring him in for the 7th bring someone else in for the 8th, is Gibbons going to abuse these young arms until they fall off,
It looks like wells is starting to swing the bat in the 4 hole and thomas in the 5 hole it's about time.
nice to see litsch get the win,this kid is going to be a very good pitcher.
I am going to predict that burnett stays off the DL and will not opt out and next year we will have the best pitchen staff in the AL.
Gibby puts Stairs in the 3 spot and he comes through in the clutch. HINT HINT!
Another quality start from Jessie, nice to see him finally get some run support.
I like how he hangs in there, though, even without his best stuff-he's becoming a grinder.
Maybe Marcum's rubbing off on him.
I like your thoughts.
Even bosox would be proud of Jessie if he was a blue jay fan I wonder were bosox is.
Finaly this team comes through with some clutch hitting.
How many of you people even thought in the back of your minds that Matt Stairs would produce the way he has,It dosen't seem to matter where you put him in the lineup his bat sings.
Thomas is now the player we paid for,But he cost this team big time trying to find his swing,What he actually lost was another year and grew older,Or was it his gerotol.
Posting has been slow all you ******* must have to work not like me I'm retarded I mean retired LOL.
Jordan I know your a reporter but how can you live in Toronto all summer and travel with this team be with them through all their ups and downs and not fall in love with them,by the way is your wife a baseball fan if so what is her team,I hope Toronto.Also who do you think this team will call up when the roster expands,We value your opinion.
For next year, i'd like to see the jays bring Matt Stairs back, and one of: Castillio, Eckstein or Johnny mac as a third option. If Stairs for w/e reason doesn't do well next year we've always got Lind. In my opinion that's all they need to contend next year (assuming the guys they bring back can play the way they are realistically capable of). If J.P. happens to decide to fire Gibby/Mickey Brantley then I wouldn't be discouraged about it.
GARRYGUY: Well, honestly, you pointed out the reasoning: "I know you're a reporter." It's my job to follow this team at home and on the road, and yes I live in Toronto year-round now, but none of that necessarily means you start becoming a "fan" of the team.
If anything, I'm a bigger fan of baseball than I was before (it's the opposite for some writers I know) — I just don't root for a particular team anymore. I enjoy watching sound fundamental baseball and I appreciate great storylines. Needless to say, covering the Jays this year has been rough.
As for Mrs. Bastian, she has by default become a Blue Jays fan. She doesn't have the whole journalistic integrity thing hanging over her head, and living north of the border full-time has influenced her as a fan. She makes it to a few Jays games each year now and pulls for your Jays.
Deep down, though, she's still a Chi-town girl and is a Cubs fan at heart. Her family roots for the Sox, so she'll pull for them if they're doing well, too. She may have turned to the Blue side because she started dating me way back when, in the days I rooted for the Cubbies.
As for September call-ups, I'm betting that Adam Lind will be back and the Jays may bring up either Sal Fasano or Robinzon Diaz. Beyond that, maybe another arm will be added, but don't expect the Jays to bring up a whole cast of players — just a handful will head to Toronto.
Thank you jordan.
Adam Lind great callup if and when we our out of it and we don't need Stairs anymore.Diaz over Sal.An arm????,Who would be ready.
Well put I'm with you,But I would like to see JP go he is to high on himself I don't ever admit he was wrong even if you can prove that he was.
gsumner,I know I know you like JP.
After watching yesterdays game I have a good feeling about the Jays I don't expect to make the playoffs but I think we will finish well.
Glaus is going to have to bring his bat to the game or they are going to have to sit him more often and play olmedo who by the way made a great play yesterday at third.
Lets hope this team gets back in the home run derby,I'm talking about the big bats the rest of them just keep on hitting.
I noticed that we are getting a lot of hits but we are not hitting with men in scoring position I hope this picks up.
How about our weekly update on the minors you are the best.
I'd be really disappointed if they called up Fasano over Diaz. Diaz is our future. I'm not sure what his speed is like but a .338 BA, .358 OBP and only 22 strike outs in 366 at bats could mean a good number two hitter.
Of course they'll call up Lind, probably De Jong from Syracuse. Maybe David Smith and Santos from AA
Hey Guys- I think we need to come up with nicknames for all our starters-so let's work on it. Here's my choices:
Marcum-Bull Dog
Litsch-Da Kid
By the way it's great to see you post here-don't be a stranger
now come one Robert-I know you can do better than that.-lol
Other minor league guys who've had a good year, although I doubt they call them up are Josh Kreuzer and Jacob Butler from Dunedin and Rob Crosby from New Hampshire.
Best performance of the week goes to Sergio Santos from New Hampshire who hit 3 Hr's, 2 doubles and knocked in 5 in 3 games with New Hampshire.
I think the Jays are making a mistake in having Luno take his spot in AAA-obviously Sergio thinks the same.
I forgot our best prospect-Travis Snider from Lansing. If I was The Jays, I'd call him up, just to allow him to be around Frank Thomas, Wells, Glaus and others. This kidis a for sure make it big prospect-who's maybe a couple of years away and it would likely help his development being here. Doesn't matter if he plays or not-just let him hang out with the guys.
great names as for AJ OUCH.
Or we could be nice and call him,THE TERMINATOR,If he keeps pitchen the way he has the name will fit.You can thank me if you want lol.
Alright, how about "Icy Hot"
They cant bring him up because it'd start his arbitration clock and more importantly his option years.
Once a player is added to a 40-man roster for the first time, he gets 3 (maybe 4-not sure) "option years". These are years where he's on the 40-man but can still be brought up and sent down to the minors without clearing waivers. Once those years run out the player has to stay in the bigs or be exposed to waivers to be demoted.
This is what was going to happen to McGowan until the Jays were granted an extra option year for him on account of his TJ surjery and the year he missed.

Here's the First Trailer for Harmony Korine's Contra-Disney Movie, Spring Breakers
Since the first scintillating promo photos for man-boy director Harmony Korine's latest envelope-bender Spring Breakers emerged last year, they have been spotted around the net shopped with a variety of superimposed Disney logos.
The wink, of course, being directed at lead actors Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens — both Disney alums for whom Korine's R-rated ode to youthful indiscretions represents a stark departure from their familiar oeuvre.
Appearing alongside Hudgens and Gomez are Pretty Little Liar Ashley Benson and Korine's wife Rachel. James Franco also shows up at some point to play Dangerous-inspired cretin, and the whole shebang is, naturally, scored by Skrillex.
Here's the synopsis, courtesy of JustJared:
Here's a synopsis of the movie: Four college girls (Hudgens, Gomez, Benson, & Korine) who land in jail after robbing a restaurant in order to fund their spring break vacation find themselves bailed out by a drug and arms dealer (Franco) who wants them to do some dirty work.

When I was a kid right around this time of year my mom would make these amazing little sausage rolls. Her pastry was flaky and perfect. I called her wanting the recipe, to try and veganize it....and then I came across a recipe here.
It sounded good, so I gave it a try. Man o man...these are GOOD! I didn't have the non-beef cube so I just used a veggie one, and I made my own pastry for it. This was a trial run last night but I have a big bowl of filling in the fridge and I am going to have a small sausage roll factory in my kitchen this afternoon.
I have a huge list of yummy things I will be making over the next few days, the camera is broken(again).Which really sucks, because I pick my brother and his wife up at the train station tomorrow. I don't see him often, so this is a special time that we will be spending together, plus he will get to meet Simone. Stupid camera!!
I am sure that I will have a chance to use someones camera phone though :P If not...
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Joy, love and peace.

ALTON— The Belknap County state representative race for District 5 has two Republican and two Democrat candidates vying for two seats. The primary race was uncontested, and all four hopefuls moved forward.
On the Democratic side, Deborah F. Chase and Jean M. Henry, both of Gilmanton, are on the ballot. Chase, a retired school teacher who has lived in the state for 33 years, is a newcomer to elected office and said she rates herself as slightly left-of-center when it comes to both fiscal and social issues.
"I am running to be one of the two representatives for District 5 because I believe I can bring a fresh perspective to the State House and will represent your interests better than the other candidates," Chase wrote in a letter to the editor.
She said she has been frustrated by the "mean spirited" tenor of the times and hopes to reach across the aisle in her position.
"I am frustrated by the unwillingness of political extremists to work together to pass legislation that is beneficial to the State," she said. "… I am a moderate who hopes to take good ideas from all sides and work toward practical and balanced solutions to our problems. Communication with my constituents will be a priority. I plan to hold meetings to give me the opportunity to hear your concerns and for you to understand the work I am doing on your behalf."
Henry did not return reporter's phone calls for comment.
On the Republican side, Richard "Dick" Burchell, of Gilmanton, and Stephen Holmes, of Alton, are vying for the seats on the Republican ticket.
Holmes, 59, is a self-employed in home repair and remodeling and considers himself to be extremely conservative when it comes to his views on social and fiscal issues. He previously told Foster's the largest issues he sees for the upcoming election are "jobs and the economy" and he seeks to be a "conservative influence" if elected."
Burchell declined to comment for purposes of this article.

DULUTH, Minn. (csssaints.com) – The St. Scholastica football team secured its first win of the season as it defeated its first Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) opponent of the year in the Eureka Red Devils by a score of 35-10 on Saturday at Public Schools Stadium.
Eureka came in with a highly touted aerial attack as Sam Durley, who threw for over 700 yards last weekend to set the single game NCAA record. The Red Devils would take the opening kickoff and on the first play of the game Durley was sacked by Chas Lemon for 15 yards. After an unsportsmanlike penalty the Saints would need only three more plays to get off the field and get the ball into the hands of the offense.
CSS and Eureka would each have the ball for less than two minutes on their next possessions before punting it away. On the Saints' second drive of the game, Tyler Harper would connect with Cory Gebhard for a 52-yard touchdown. The PAT from Mike Theismann was good to make the score 7-0.
The Saints defense would hold strong on Eureka's next possession that would have the Red Devils with the ball for only six plays before a sack from Jordan Rasmussen and Jake Turkowski would halt the drive and force the Red Devils to punt it away.
Tyler Harper's 40-yard scramble was the highlight of the Saints third drive. The play set up a Thomas Fragale 1-yard touchdown run. Theismann's PAT was good to make the score 14-0.
The high octane offense of the Red Devils would finally get on the board with their second drive of the second quarter. Zach McCoy capped off an 11 play, 63 yard drive from two yards out. Travis Huber's extra point was good to make it 14-7.
CSS would take the momentum right back as Harper connected with Nick Thiry for a 43-yard pass and catch touchdown. Theismann's extra point was good to make the score 21-7.
CSS and Eureka would stall on their next few drives before the Saints started the two minute drill with 1:37 left on the clock and 63 yards to cover. Harper would go 5-for-8 on the drive for 53 yards passing with his second touchdown pass to Thiry on the day from eight yards out. The PAT from Theismann was good to make the score 28-7 going into halftime.
After a CSS fumble that was recovered by Craig Wilson, the Red Devils would take over on the Saints' 11 yard line. The defense would hold strong and force Eureka into a 35 yard field goal to make the score 28-10.
The Saints defense would be the story of the third quarter as they would hold Durley to zero yards passing on seven attempts. Offensively, the Saints would hold the ball for over 10 minutes in the third session, getting in the end zone on their final possession with a 1-yard run from Travis Nehowig to make the score 35-10 with Theismann's PAT. Nehowig's touchdown was the last scoring from either team.
Durley was 21-for-49 for 228 yards and zero TD's. Zach McCoy rushed for 71 yards on 19 attempts with the lone touchdown for the Red Devils. Matt Dawson caught seven balls for 81 yards to lead the receiving corps for Eureka.
Eureka graduated their all-time leading tackler last year in Mike Minehan and were led this game by Jacob Carls with 16 tackles, two of which came for a loss. Carls also forced the fumble that set up his team's field goal.
Offensively the Saints were led by quarterback Tyler Harper who out dueled his NCAA record holding counterpart by going 13-for-24 for 220 yards and three TD's. Nehowig led the ground attack by gaining 104 yards on 19 attempts with his one touchdown. Thiry caught three balls for 65 yards and two touchdowns. Gebhard had a strong showing as well with two catches for 72 yards and one touchdown.
Defensively the Saints were led for the second week in a row by junior Alec French who had 11 tackles on the day. French also had one of four sacks by the defensive unit.
The Saints (1-1, 1-0 UMAC) welcome Greenville College (Ill.) to town next week for their fifth homecoming and 100th school anniversary. Greenville is the slight preseason favorite in the UMAC this season. The game will be played at Malosky Stadium at UMD. Kick-off is set for 4:30 p.m. and can be seen live on Saints Sports Net.

Levin defends Rice on Libya
Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) on Sunday mounted a vigorous defense of Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who has faced a torrent of criticism after she served as a chief spokeswoman for the administration soon after the Benghazi assault.
Levin, the chairman of the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee, said Republican criticism toward Rice was "one of the most unfair attacks I've ever seen in Washington in 34 years." Rice said in interviews five days after the Sept. 11 attacks that it arose out of a spontaneous demonstration, but later, it was determined to be a terrorist attack.
"Susan Rice was using the unclassified talking points, which were provided by the intelligence community," Levin said on ABC's "This Week."
"The issue is whether or not Susan Rice should be pilloried for using an intelligence report which David Petraeus signed off on, which the DNI, the director of national intelligence, Mr. Clapper, signed off on," Levin continued. "Were they part of a cover-up? Did they do something wrong?"
On the same show, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said Petraeus's testimony before Congress didn't change his view toward Rice, whom King has said had misled the public on Benghazi.
King noted – as he did Friday to reporters on Capitol Hill – said Petraeus testified that intelligence officials included specific references to involvement by Al Qaeda in the original set of talking points, which were later taken out. Lawmakers are questioning who took those references out, and why.
"Susan Rice, though, I would hope, if she's going to go on national television, is going to rely on more than unclassified talking points," King said. "As U.N. ambassador, she had access to all the classified information from the State Department. She certainly could have gotten a classified briefing. She would have sat down with the National Security Council, and she would have known that those talking points had been watered down, and she could have caveated that -- her statement, which she didn't."

Bird: Freedom to own guns was for muskets not automatic weapons
Re: "Guns do not kill, people do," by Dr. B. Simone Caruthers, letters, Dec. 18
I am tired of the right wing's cockamamie theories on mass murder by gun.
Yes, this country will always have their mentally ill, their PTSD vets, unhappy spouses, criminals and so on. Yes, people kill people but if these people cannot get automatic military weapons and 30-round clips, rpgs, grenades and the rest of this murderous artillery, they would have to carry out their rage with a knife, a rock or a baseball bat. It's pretty difficult to kill dozens with these in a school or a mall, isn't it?
So let us start with the elimination of these weapons a hunter or common citizen do not need. Then all you wonderful people of the right would only have to fight funding for mental illness and help for these people with a propensity for violence.
Some want to arm everybody – school teachers, men on the street. Several months ago in New York City, well-trained police killed a few innocents while trying to apprehend a shooter. Bad idea.
The real reason the gun supporters want these weapons are they are so paranoid they think that Obama or the United Nations are going to take over the country and they will stop them. It's laughable.
The original freedom to own guns was for muskets not automatic weapons.
I will give Dr. Caruthers $3 for every citizen that saves his or his families' life by using a gun and the doctor can give me $1 for every mass murder, murder, accidental shooting or crime by gun and we will see who makes the most money.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

USCG PSC Equals meaningful Polar Presence
The Coast Guard needs a ship that can do more than just break ice; it needs a multi-mission ship to provide for the nation's security, asserting its sovereign rights, and protecting its long-term economic interests. That ship is the Polar Security Cutter.Since Russia cashed the check in 1867 for the purchase of Alaska the U.S. has been an Arctic nation. Today, it is one of eight countries that have territorial land or seas above the Arctic Circle or in the polar region (six of those countries have Arctic Ocean coastline or an exclusive economic zone above the Arctic Circle). The U.S. has also conducted significant research activities in the Antarctic region for many years.

The United States filed suit against US banking giant Wells Fargo, alleging mortgage fraud that cost the government hundreds of million of dollars after the home loans defaulted.
The civil fraud lawsuit, filed by Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara in New York federal court yesterday, seeks to recover damages in connection with Wells Fargo's residential mortgage lending business.
The San Francisco-based bank is the nation's largest mortgage lender.
As a result of Wells Fargo's false certifications of mortgages, the Federal Housing Administration has paid "hundreds of millions of dollars in insurance claims on thousands of mortgages that defaulted," the US attorney's office for the Southern District of New York said.
It claimed the alleged misconduct occurred for more than 10 years.
"As the complaint alleges, yet another major bank has engaged in a longstanding and reckless trifecta of deficient training, deficient underwriting and deficient disclosure, all while relying on the convenient backstop of government insurance," Preet Bharara said.
Preet Bharara mentioned that Wells Fargo began meeting the requirement to self-report bad loans in a significant way only after the US attorney's office issued a subpoena last year.
"Now a jury will have to weigh the facts to determine the bank's liability and the scope of the damages it must pay," he said.
Wells Fargo shares closed 1.96 per cent lower at $35.10 in New York.

Restaurant owners live or die these days by the power of the almighty online review, with sites such as Yelp and Urbanspoon making or breaking new (and old) establishments.
Todd Spaits, the 37-year-old founder and CEO of SkyFu, wants to help restaurant owners stay on top of the chatter. In addition to monitoring reviews, the site allows owners to update all of their social media properties (blogs, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) in a few clicks.
"SkyFu listens to the social Web while you sleep," the company says in a promotional video. Hosting a beta release party next week at Tom Douglas's Palace Ballroom, SkyFu certainly is entering a hot (and crowded) market. In recent weeks, we've covered social media firms such as Venuelabs, ReadyPulse and others which also help small businesses measure the pulse of what's being said about them on social media channels.
We chatted with Spaits — who holds a MBA from the University of Washington and plans to move the company to the new SURF Incubator in Seattle — in the latest installment of Startup Spotlight to find out how SkyFu is different.
Explain what you do so our parents can understand it: "We help businesses that realize the power of social media, but don't have the resources to handle it, do so easily, quickly and for a low cost."
Inspiration hit us when: "I have several friends who own small businesses — restaurants mostly — and while they weren't tech un-savvy, for the most part these were not businesses where you sat in front of your computer all day. Essentially they were faced with the daunting task of dealing with their customers as faces and as usernames. Boom! I thought that they needed a low-cost, simple, easy way to make those two processes as similar as possible and it simply wasn't being addressed for the little guy."
VC, Angel or Bootstrap: "We intend to bootstrap to our first sale with angels up to bat right after that. Why? Because the founders believed in the idea enough to commit enough resources to it to get to a revenue position and we believe that proves the model to a point where we can ask others to believe in it as well. I feel confident now asking other people to invest in what is now a business not just an idea."
Our 'secret sauce' is: "Our secret sauce is our core vision, which is to make the experience of dealing with our clients customers online mimic the experience of dealing them real world. That is the North Star that guides SkyFu and I think is the holy grail of social media and reputation management overall."
The smartest move we've made so far: "Focusing on one business segment, the restaurant space, vs. targeting all small and midsized companies. I think each segment has particular needs and you need to understand one group first before moving on to the next. We will let our competitors try a one size fits all approach. "
The biggest mistake we've made so far: "We started as a UW MBA group and we faced many challenges transitioning from that communal organization to a nimble start-up. In hindsight, I would have done many things differently."
Would you rather have Gates, Jobs, Zuckerberg or Bezos in your corner: "Steve Job hands down. Because Jobs understood how to pivot a tech company and had corporate entrepreneurship down to a science. With him in my corner we would be ensured to build the first SkyFu product to perfection and be ready to jump into the next opportunity. It's like doing start-up after start-up under the same brand. That would be fun."
Our world domination strategy starts when: "When SkyFu services our second industry on the national scale. Once we can do that, I believe we truly have a strong brand and be THE social media solution for the non-enterprise company."
Rivals should fear us because: "Because I believe SkyFu will connect directly with our clients better than our competition. I believe we understand the pain better and will become a brand that our clients identify with. I think our competitors are solving the problems of a vision rather than a reality."
We are truly unique because: "Because of the people involved. We have MBA's , but that doesn't make us unique we have successful entrepreneurs and we aren't the first there either. We more than enough experience in all the core areas. But this team hasn't done a start-up ever and I would go to battle with this team anytime. We have what it takes and that is us."
The biggest hurdle we've overcome is: "Developing a solid product on a bootstrapped budget and staying within that budget. We had a lot of DYI moments over the last year, but they will pay off."
What's the one piece of advice you'd give to other entrepreneurs just starting out: "You need to contract a case of amnesia every day. The entrepreneurial process is messy and in each case it is messy for a different reason. Each day you need to wake up and hit the ground running no matter how challenging or rewarding the previous day was."

The rumours of the great Canadian housing bubble are greatly exaggerated, according the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).
Housing prices across Canada have increased an average of 6.9% in the first 10 months of 2014 - the highest in a decade. The more accurate housing price index (HPI) has increased 5.2% during the same period, which is the best in three years. If you take Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary out of the picture, the average price increase would be several percentage points lower. Other market measures, like sales-to-listings ratios and month's supply of homes for sale, are close to their 10-year averages.
Housing market bubble stories fail to recognize funadmental housing market dymanics. For a big price correction to take place, we need a big and lasting run up in supply . . . or a big and lasting drop in demand . . . or some combination of the two. Since neither a recession or a big spike in interest rates is expected, it's unlikely to happen.
Average house price growth is being stretched by increasing average prices in two of Canada;s most active markets, Vancouver and Toronto. What's happening in Vancouver and Toronto reflects a couple of things - you've got some very high-priced homes making up a great proportion of the sales, pulling up the average price in those markets and for Canada as well.
For example, Toronto saw a 9% increase year over year in average home prices in October, versus 5.5% increase in HPI nationally. Those price increases are largely in central Toronto where condo construction has driven up the price of single detached homes. In Vancouver, there's a lot of expensive homes being sold and an ongoing shortage of affordable homes.
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will make in your lifetime, so it's wise to take time and get the guidance of a professional to help ease stress and alleviate any financial and legal pitfalls that may arise from making an emotional decision.

Guatemala President Calls for Drug Legalization Ahead of Summit Of The Americas (NEWS)
(HN, March, 26, 2012) - This past weekend, three Central American heads of state attended a regional summit to discuss the drug issue which has plagued their nations and their neighbors for decades. In Antigua, Guatemala, Saturday for the first time, leaders met explicitly to discuss ending the war on drugs as we know it.
Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina said the war on drugs has "failed", and it's time to end the "taboo" on discussing decriminalization for the Americas.
Also in attendance were Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla and Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli. Former Colombian President Cesar Gaviria, a harsh critic of US-style drug policies and a member of the Global Commission on Drug Policy was an invited guest and addressed the summit. Outside of Central America, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and Mexican President Felipe Calderon have expressed support for the meeting.
Invited to attend but who didn't were El Salvador President Mauricio Funes, Honduran President Porfirio Lobo, and Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega. While Funes initially expressed support for the summit, he has since backed away. Lobo and Ortega have opposed the idea from the beginning. Funes and Ortega did send lower ranking members of the governments to the meeting, and the Salvadoran delegation called for a future meeting on the subject, saying it remained a topic of great interest and importance to the region.
"We have realized that the strategy in the fight against drug trafficking in the past 40 years has failed. We have to look for new alternatives," said President Molina, a former army general who first called for such a meeting last month, shortly after taking office. "We must end the myths, the taboos, and tell people you have to discuss it, debate it."
He said that drug use, production, and sales should be legalized and regulated and suggested that the region jointly regulate the drug trade, perhaps by establishing transit corridors through which regulated drug shipments could pass.
But US-backed drug policies in the region have in recent years brought a wave of violence to the region, which is used as a springboard for Colombian cocaine headed north to the US and Canada, either direct or via Mexico. Mexican drug cartels have expanded their operations in Central America in the past few year, perhaps in response to the pressures they face at home.
High levels of poverty and the strong presence of criminal gangs, particularly in El Salvador and Honduras, combined with the cartel presence is making the region one of the world's deadliest.
El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, along with Jamaica, have the world's highest murder rates; and Guatemala recently has been saying it is being "outgunned by gangs".
In its most recent annual report, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) said violence linked to the drug wars has reached "alarming and unprecedented" levels in the region.
"How much have we paid here in Central America in deaths, kidnappings, extortion?" asked Chinchilla. "Central America has to ask whether it is time that we raise this issue at the Security Council of United Nations."
President Molina also suggested that, barring legalization and a regulated drug trade, consumer countries should be taxed for the drugs seized in the region on their behalf - including the United States.
"For every kilo of cocaine that is seized, we want to be compensated 50% by the consumer countries, he said, adding that the has a "responsibility" because of its high rates of drug use.
While Saturday's summit produced no common platform or manifesto, it is an important step in the fight for a more sensible, effective, and humane response to drug use and the regional drug trade.
Some leaders are pushing for a discussion on alternatives to the drug war to be on the agenda at next month's Organization of American States (OAS) summit in Cartagena, Colombia, April 14-15 where President Santos has also been signaling an openness to debate on the issue.
Members of the OAS include 35 countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Grenada, Suriname, Dominica, Saint Lucia, Antigua & Barbuda, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Bahamas, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Canada, Belize, and Guyana.
The White House says US President Barack Obama will host Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada and President Felipe Calderon of Mexico for a North American summit in Washington on April 2. The meeting is expected to focus on economic growth and competitiveness, security, energy, and climate change; along with North America's role in the upcoming Summit of the Americas
Ahead of the summit, Obama said Monday he was suspending trade benefits for Argentina from the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences program, which waives import duties on thousands of goods from developing countries because of the South American country's failure to pay more than $300 million in compensation awards in two disputes involving American investors; effective in 60 days.
Argentina's top exports under the program were grape wine, prepared or preserved beef, sugar confections and olive oil. Washington waived about $17.3 million in duties on those goods from Argentina last year.

This maybe why some truth is officially allowed to slip out – to lesson such impact. I do believe that most Apollo revisionism (to use Apollo as that's an early one) is official (CIA etc) and is not merely to ensnare wavering and unreliable insiders.

I'm new here and like to be controversial by saying I DO believe satellites exist. It felt funny to write that . I am with you on 9/11, NASA and Nukes but not this and I don't think this thread brings up strong arguments against man made satellites.
Yes most of our communication go through cables today but that is because the rise of the Internet and because its cheaper and more convenient to use the existing cables today. Satellites are best suited for broadcasting. Not for two way low latency communication like you need for the Internet.
I've been on boat trips since childhood and in the eighties there was a navigation system that predated GPS. I've forgot the name but it was pretty inaccurate. GPS was a revolution and much more accurate. I find it hard to see how and why they would fake that.
I believe manned space travel is impossible not because you cannot send a man into space but because re-entry is impossible. It's not possible to "air brake". Trying that would give you the same fate as a meteor. First you burn. Then you crash.
I also think Occam's razor is relevant here. I see the reason and motivation behind the 9/11, NASA and Nukes hoaxes. But why fake Sats?
Just my 2c

But what are you seeing with the naked eye? That's a fascinating comment in and of itself.
Just think about it, and tell us what you think is happening exactly when you can see with your naked eye a supposedly appliance-sized device hundreds of miles away shining like a light. And can you explain the consistent/constant light from such a thing as the "satellites" they are claimed as? How do such lights compare to those supposedly thousands of miles away? With your naked eye can you differentiate — without consulting some official information list — the naturally occurring Near Earth Object pass bys from so-called man made satellites (that, by the way, are said to survive at such heights beyond the atmosphere — beyond the thermosphere — for years)?
I truly would love a reasonable and realistic explanation of this phenomenon as you see it, as a satellite believer.

MONTREAL — Gérald Tremblay is unique among Montreal mayors in resigning before his term was up. Testimony at the Charbonneau Commission alleged that he told aides he simply didn't want to know about wrongdoing in public tendering. However, Tremblay has not been charged with anything, and at this point his protestations of innocence must be accepted.
Contrast this with the notorious case of Camillien Houde, the only other mayor to leave office prematurely and under a cloud. The issues then and now are quite different. And in Houde's case, there was never any doubt as to his role in the events that ended his mayoralty.
Houde, mayor off and on since 1928, was well into a new term of office when Canada joined the war against Germany in September 1939. As fighting intensified the following spring, Ottawa stepped up its military recruiting.
Parliament also passed the National Resources Mobilization Act obliging virtually all Canadians 16 and over, male and female alike, to complete detailed registration forms. Prime Minister W.L. Mackenzie King promised this was simply to provide an inventory of the nation's human resources, and had nothing to do with possible armed-forces conscription.
Most Canadians doubtless took this with a large grain of salt but, truth be told, didn't mind. In Quebec, it was different. While not universal, there was wide opposition here to the idea of military service overseas. However, few were willing to say so publicly, and none so prominent as Camillien Houde.
On several occasions, Houde had already expressed his doubts about the war effort. He did so most notably on Aug. 2, 1940, while shooting the breeze with several reporters, including one from The Gazette. National registration, Houde told them, was a certain forerunner of conscription.
The Gazette reporter duly submitted a story, and was surprised a little later when it was returned to him. It had been rewritten as a formal statement by Houde, with the added declaration that the mayor himself would not register and was urging fellow Montrealers not to do so, either. The reporter asked Houde to sign the statement, which he did.
The Gazette, which loathed the mayor, was setting a trap. It was a trap, however, that Houde recognized and willingly walked into.
The statement, together with a blistering editorial condemning Houde's defiance of the law, created a sensation when they appeared in the early edition of Aug. 3. The censor – a war was on, remember – ordered Gazette presses halted on grounds that the statement was seditious, but not before thousands of copies had hit the street.
In his statement, Houde declared he knew "full well what I am doing … and to what I expose myself." Still, we might never know whether he regarded himself as a genuine political martyr, willing to go to jail for his beliefs, or as someone whose undoubted popularity would protect him from arrest, only to discover he had gone too far. In any event, too far he had gone and arrested he was.
A little before midnight on Aug. 5, Houde, his secretary and his wife were tidying up some business at city hall. They didn't know that a team of RCMP and provincial police officers was waiting outside.
Houde emerged first and was promptly arrested. His wife and secretary, who had hung back, saw nothing; they found out what was going on only when a night watchman rushed back inside to inform them.
Houde was whisked away to the Place d'Armes post office for questioning before being driven off to the Petawawa army base in Ontario. There, and later at a camp in New Brunswick, he was interned without trial for the next four years. The Defence of Canada Regulations meant that, as an internee, he was automatically stripped of the mayoralty.
In fact, he had been effectively deposed as mayor some months before. In May 1940, Montreal's finances were in appalling shape, and Quebec transferred the city's administration to a commission chaired by municipal civil servant Honoré Parent. The arrangement would last for the next four years. Houde — and later his successor, Adhémar Raynault, elected by voters in December 1940 — were reduced to little more than impotent figureheads.
Houde proved to be a model prisoner and a source of laughter for his fellow internees, many of whom were unoffending German or Italian immigrants. He was set to work sawing wood, and in due course trimmed nearly 100 pounds from the 240 he was packing on arrival. (After his release, the lost embonpoint quickly returned.)
By the summer of 1944, the tide of war was flowing strongly against the Axis powers, which did nothing to diminish the embarrassment Houde's internment was creating for Ottawa. On Aug. 16 that year, he was finally released.
Some 10,000 cheering Montrealers greeted him that evening as he stepped down from the train in Central Station. Thousands more lined the streets as his car slowly made its way to the family home on Rue St. Hubert, where yet another throng awaited. Houde was back.
While he was interned, Houde had made reference to how he had lost his mayor's stipend of $20,000 a year. "But," he added with his famous laugh, "I can get 20 cents a day as mayor of my hut in Petawawa. And once I get out of here, you can bet the people of Montreal will see to it that I get my job back."
And so it was. Late in 1944, unsinkable as ever, he was again elected mayor, defeating his opponent Raynault.
He would serve for 10 more years. He died in 1958.
John Kalbfleisch is a retired senior editor at The Gazette who writes about Montreal's history in his Gazette column Second Draft.

Transactional Replication Overview
Transactional replication typically starts with a snapshot of the publication database objects and data. As soon as the initial snapshot is taken, subsequent data changes and schema modifications made at the Publisher are usually delivered to the Subscriber as they occur (in near real time). The data changes are applied to the Subscriber in the same order and within the same transaction boundaries as they occurred at the Publisher; therefore, within a publication, transactional consistency is guaranteed.
Transactional replication is typically used in server-to-server environments and is appropriate in each of the following cases:
You want incremental changes to be propagated to Subscribers as they occur.
The application requires low latency between the time changes are made at the Publisher and the changes arrive at the Subscriber.
The application requires access to intermediate data states. For example, if a row changes five times, transactional replication allows an application to respond to each change (such as firing a trigger), not simply the net data change to the row.
The Publisher has a very high volume of insert, update, and delete activity.
The Publisher or Subscriber is a non-SQL Server database, such as Oracle.
By default, Subscribers to transactional publications should be treated as read-only, because changes are not propagated back to the Publisher. However, transactional replication does offer options that allow updates at the Subscriber. For more information, see How Transactional Replication Works.
For information about implementing transactional replication, see Designing and Implementing (Replication).
For information about common scenarios that involve transactional replication, see Replicating Data in a Server to Server Environment.

In the coming weeks, graduates of the University of South Florida will be able to frame their diplomas - but not a selfie of their walk across the commencement stage.
The university's Division of Student Affairs is warning students against inappropriate behavior at the ceremonies at the SunDome and elsewhere, including taking "selfies" on stage with President Judy Genshaft or other dignitaries.
A school official told The Tampa Tribune that taking selfies would slow the commencement down.
"We want students to think about the dignity of the ceremony," Michael A. Freeman, USF assistant vice president and dean for students told the paper. "It's supposed to be exciting, but it's a serious academic ceremony."
The school sent a notice to all graduating seniors, and ads are being placed in the student newspaper requesting that students also refrain from "stepping," "marching" or "strolling."
