Building Closure Practices
Scheduled closures of Sno-Isle Libraries
Scheduled library closure dates are available at on our Holiday and other Scheduled Building Closures page. All library buildings and departments are closed on these scheduled days for:
- National holidays and government observances
- Business reasons
Scheduled library closures are consistent with federal, state and local government agencies in closing for national holidays. In addition, when a holiday falls on a Saturday, the library will close on that day. If the holiday falls on Sunday, Sno-Isle Libraries will be closed on both Sunday and Monday.
Full-day or early closures for business reasons might occur for staff training needs, because of historic or forecast low customer activity, planned renovation, or for other scheduled activities.
Scheduled closures due to low customer demand
It is Sno-Isle Libraries' business practice to fully close or close early on two days during the year: Christmas Eve (early closure) and New Year's Eve (early closure).
Unscheduled closures of Sno-Isle Libraries
Unscheduled closures may occur from time-to-time for the following reasons:
- Emerging business needs
- Emergencies or official requests from government officials.
Full-day or early closures for unanticipated business reasons might occur due to unexpected staff training needs, impromptu repairs or other emerging issues. Emergencies closures might include weather-related events, fire, police or other safety/security issues.
Other celebrations and observances
In addition to national holidays, many religious, cultural and cause-based observations occur during the year. Although these popular observances are not national holidays, they hold special significance to various groups of people who observe and celebrate them.
Sno-Isle Libraries is committed to providing information on a variety of ethnic, cultural, religious and cause-based celebrations to our communities through the library materials in our collection. If you are interested, please browse through the Sno-Isle Libraries catalog.

by Clark Groome
Whenever you listen to someone with the Phillies, from the front-office brass to a utility infielder, they almost always give a huge hunk of the credit for the team's success to the fans. For management, it's based on their loyalty and the financial support that they give by filling all those seats and buying all that neat stuff they eat or wear.
For the players, the fans are an often rambunctious, always loud – even when they're booing – reminder of just how much they are loved and how much is expected of them.
With that in mind, I decided to ask some of those fans what questions they would put to Phillies president David Montgomery if they had the opportunity to chat with him.
Emails were sent to solicit the questions. Some, as you might imagine, didn't make the cut. One friend's 14-year-old son wanted to know how much Wyndmoor resident Montgomery, 64, makes in a year.
An Episcopal priest with an odd sense of humor wanted to know who cleans up the bubble gum and sunflower seeds in the dugout after each game, and how much of it there is. One family member wanted me to ask Montgomery when the powder-blue away uniforms would return.
Clearly trying to turn this column for one glorious moment into vox populi wasn't going to be easy. Thankfully, several questions addressed a couple of areas that clearly need attention: how to keep what may now be the greatest era in Phillies history going after the current team no longer is playing and, considering the huge payroll the organization now has, how to keep the game affordable for the average fan.
Addressing the future of the club Montgomery said, "Although our behavior indicates our philosophy has changed, I don't think it has changed as much as people might think.
"The best way to develop the nucleus for the club is certainly within the farm system," he noted in an interview in his Citizens Bank Park office before a recent game against the Florida Marlins. "Yes, in the last couple of years in order to sustain a high-level club at the big league level, we've traded away some of our better prospects.
"This is why – and people have struggled to accept it at face value – we moved Cliff Lee a year ago to recapture some prospects [for] the organization with the hope that when we have to replace some of the current group, some of it – I wouldn't say all of it – comes from within the system.
"The additional challenge we face is that we're not drafting in the high positions that we had in the late '90s so we don't get early picks."
On fan support, Montgomery was expansive.
"Fan support has been phenomenal," he said. "It has manifested itself in our attendance here, in our attendance on the road, in our attendance at spring training, and in the support our minor league clubs are getting. What we hope is that we can transfer some of the affinity for the current group to affinity for the next group."
He mentioned that young players like Domonic Brown and John Mayberry Jr. have grown up in the Phillies farm system, and that others also will be coming along.
But how about those ticket prices?
"We believe that the nature of fan support is that we want to have a long-term relationship with our fans," he said. "Have we raised ticket prices? Yes. Have we raised them in our minds fairly modestly? That's what we would say, although that's in the eye of the beholder."
Currently individual tickets range from $20 to $65, with standing room available at $17.
One question that he seemed pleased to hear, and to answer, was about the role character plays in the decision to sign a player.
"Character," he said, "we value very highly. So if there's a modest talent differential we would clearly attempt to bring the person in with the higher character.
"Character in our game is not just being 'a model citizen.' It's being a good teammate and being a good guy in the clubhouse. The guys we've got here have made it clear that we're a team here. Their focus is doing, first and foremost, what's right for the team, not just for the individual. The players, and [Manager] Charlie [Manuel] and the coaches get a lot of credit."
The other part of that question had to deal with how you handle a very popular, positive player when he is no longer as productive as he once was. That issue caused a stir when The Eagles let Brian Dawkins go a couple of seasons ago.
"You don't want to become so attached to the player that you ignore the erosion, if that's the case, in ability," Montgomery said." That's where judging your own talent and being able to say that player X is not able to do things he was able to do three or four years ago [comes in]. You can't let the personal attachment stand in the way of making the right baseball decision."
Then, after taking a deep breath, he added, "It's hard – it's the hardest thing we have to do."
Looking at the current season, he noted, "The concerns have been evidenced already. The concern is always to stay healthy." Mentioning Domonic Brown, Brad Lidge and Chase Utley, he said, "We start every year trying to put a club together that will be one of the eight that qualifies for the post season.
"If you're in, anything can happen and pitching becomes a big part of it. If we are healthy and fortunate enough to get through the regular season and participate [in the playoffs] again and we have starters like [Roy} Halladay, [Cliff] Lee, [Roy] Oswalt, [Cole] Hamels and even Joe [Blanton] healthy for the post season, that will put us in a good position.
As our interview ended, he restated his belief: "Fan support has put us where we are. There's no question about that."

Seven people were put out of their homes in the 600 block of Hazlett Avenue NW,
Firefighters battled overnight Thursday to stop a vacant house fire that spread to three neighboring homes and a garage.
Seven people were put out of their homes in the 600 block of Hazlett Avenue NW, said Battalion Chief Thomas Garra, adding that six of them were now receiving temporary assistance from the American Red Cross.
Two firefighters were treated for exhaustion at the scene and a fire engine suffered minor damage from the heat, he said.
Fire Prevention Bureau inspectors were still on the scene later Thursday morning, trying to determine the cause of the blaze, deemed suspicious in nature.
Firefighters initially called at 3:39 a.m. to a vacant house at 604 Hazlett could already see flames from Tuscarawas Street W as they rushed to the scene, Garra said.
They arrived to find the boarded-up structure engulfed, he said.
The fire spread to the north side of 602 Hazlett next door, moving up the exterior to the inside first floor and to the roof, Garra said.
Four adults and two children who had been in the home had been chased out by the blaze. Garra said they were standing on the front porch when firefighters arrived.
Firefighters assisted a man who lives in the house on the other side — at 608 Hazlett — out of his home.
They said he was awake, but just hadn't left his home yet.
The south side of his house was damaged, although not as severely as 602 Hazlett, Garra said.
"The fire caught the eaves of (608)," Garra said, adding that a garage behind it was also damaged.
Firefighters called for help.
An extra ladder truck and an extra fire engine responded to the scene, Garra said.
"We protected the structures to the north and to the south," he said.
Another house across the street at 603 Hazlett was also damaged.
Garra said the heat melted its siding.
The heat also damaged one of the fire trucks. Garra said the lenses covering a couple of lights were damaged.
Two firefighters were treated at the scene but, he said, "They're fine. They weren't transported" to a hospital.
The house at 602 Hazlett was rendered unhabitable, so firefighters called the Red Cross to help the family who lived there. Damage to the home was estimated at $18,000, Garra said.
Damage to 608 Hazlett was estimated at about $7,500, but it was still habitable, so the man who lives there could remain, Garra said.
The house across the street — at 603 Hazlett — was also damaged, but a monetary estimate was not available.
Damage to the vacant house at 604 Hazlett, however, was listed at $28,000. Garra said it was destroyed.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Garra said anyone with information about the fire should call Fire Prevention Bureau investigators at 330-489-3400.

Norwegian's Kids Program
And who said cruises aren't for kids? Norwegian offers what you want, what your kids want... good times all around, for all ages, at all times, just the way you like it. Plus, complimentary activities happen every day-whether your child wants to paint, have a pajama party or put on a show. And just think of the new friends they'll make-you might even have to schedule time just to see them.
Norwegian Cruise Line has updated its Youth Program in conjunction with several organizations promoting active entertainment for kids. The company offers Splash Academy, which was designed to engage active and creative kids ages 6 months – 12 years, and has integrated Cirque Du Jour, a New York-based company that specializes in teaching children real circus skills such as scarf juggling, ball juggling, plate spinning, clowning and acrobatics. Circus workshops and shows will also be offered for the entire family. Entourage is Norwegian's latest and greatest program for teens ages 13-17. Play a pickup game of soccer. Take part in a theater or fashion workshop. Dive into an interactive pool party. With so much to do around our ship, your teens can choose the activities they want to do!
In addition, the youth programs will be expanded to utilize other areas of the ships, including the sports courts, rock walls, theaters, lounges and public spaces and will feature more family events such as parades and scavenger hunts.
Splash Academy
Turtles (Ages 3-5)
Seals (Ages 6-9)
Dolphins (Ages 10-12)
The Entourage teen program for kids 13-17 features entertainment and activities like:
FreeStyle Free Play

Splash Academy Specifics & Restrictions
Safety and Emergency Information
Group-Sitting for Kids
The "Port Play" is offered from arrival in port to departure of port during port hours. During overnight in port hours, "Port Play" is offered from arrival in port until 8pm. Norwegian accommodates those parents booked on Shore Excursions. Sign up is 8pm the evening prior to the desired "Port Play".
The "Late Night Fun Zone" is offered nightly from 10:30pm-1:30am. The charges are $6.00 per hour, per child, and $4.00 per hour for each additional sibling in the same immediate family. Charges are applied directly to your onboard account. Sign up is 8pm the evening prior to the desired "Late Night Fun Zone". If no children are signed up or dropped off by 11:30pm, the center will close for the evening.
A reminder, if your child requires you to keep a beeper, a parent or guardian must stay behind on the vessel during either activity, as the beepers do not work off the ship. Also, no private or in-cabin babysitting is available on any Norwegian or NCLA vessels. The Youth Staff is waiting for you to sign up now. Your kids will have a blast!
Youth Program Discipline Policy
Your children are important. Norwegian wants your kids to have as much fun and be as safe as possible. Here is the four-step Discipline Policy to ensure this happens.
STEP 1: Warning: The Youth Counselor addresses the child and it is explained that his/her behavior is unacceptable and needs to be improved immediately.
In regards to 2-5 year olds, after 15 minutes of continuous crying, the parent will be called to pick-up their child as Norwegian is not able to have one-on-one care within their Youth Programs.
More Family Friendly Features
Cannon balls welcome here. Just for Junior cruisers, Norwegian offers splash pools on Norwegian DAWN, STAR, SPIRIT, GEM, JADE, JEWEL, EPIC and PRIDE OF AMERICA. Each ship has its own children's themed wet and wild fun areas- slides, water squirters, and splash areas far away from mom and dad's main pool area.
Think about this-Norwegian has arcades on every ship, but the bigger the ship the bigger the arcade and how much fun can you have in a day!
Move over Tarzan, Norwegian has kids coming in! All Norwegian ships now offer jungle gyms with ball pits and tunnels. Just check out the youth facilities-registered participants can jump in anytime.
Time to go surfing? The onboard Internet Café is perfect for kids to send emails to friends, access AOL accounts and just surf the net. Basic time charge is .75 per minute and Norwegian offers great packages too. Parents wishing to block their children from Internet access can do by requesting the ship's Internet Café Manager onboard to de-activate their accounts.
Family Friendly Accommodations
The staterooms are designed with your family in mind - just the way you like them.
Freestyle Dining for All
Not a lima bean in sight-Norwegian gives kids what they want to eat - all day long in the Kid's Café. Kids can dig into the Kid's Buffet: sandwiches, hot dogs, fruits, yes, some veggies, French fries and cookies. They'll love the tables and chairs just their size too. Plus each itinerary offers a special Kid's Crew Dinner-sorry mom and dad, it's kids only this time. Sign up with the Youth Program staff.
Entourage Specifics & Restrictions
Teen Safety & Emergency Information
Teens are responsible for reporting to their assigned emergency stations in the event of a ship emergency. Crewmembers throughout the vessel are trained to assist those in need.
Teens participating in Norwegian's youth programs are prohibited from smoking, drinking alcohol, and using profanity while attending Teen activities. Violence and vandalism will not be tolerated, ever.
A Teen exhibiting inappropriate behavior will be asked to stop immediately. If they do not stop, they will be dismissed from the activity. After dismissal, Parents and the ship's Security will be notified. Any behavior reported to a Youth Staff member taken outside of the Teen Program will also be reported to Security. Teens should be advised that all public areas are under 24-hour surveillance.
** All events and activities are subject to change.

Montalcino landscape south of the town, as seen from the Il Poggione estate (Photo ©Tom Hyland)
I have just returned from a week in Toscana, of which two days were spent in Montalcino. This week the Benvenuto Brunello tasting is held for journalists around the world in the town of Montalcino and is an event I eagerly await each year. I've attended this event several times, but as I needed to be home for another special Italian wine event, I was able to arrange a private tasting of the soon-to-be-released bottlings of the 2006 vintage of Brunello di Montalcino this past Monday; my thanks to Stefania Tacconi of the Brunello Consorzio for her help – and that of her staff – in organizing this tasting around my schedule.
After tasting 31 bottlings of 2006 Brunello di Montalcino, my initial thoughts are this: 2006 is an excellent vintage with impressive concentration, beautiful complexity and the structure to age very well. 2006 was a warm vintage in the area, but not overly hot, and there were beneficial winds, especially for estates on the western edges of the appellation that are situated closer to the sea. The wines are much bigger than 2005 and as big or even richer in some instances from comparable bottlings from 2004, though slightly less forceful than those from the wonderful 2001 vintage.
The wines are also quite aromatic, comparing favorably in that category to the 2004s. Most of the wines I tried offer a generous mid-palate with layers of fruit, while the tannins are rich, yet rarely forceful. Look for most of the finest bottlings of 2006 Brunello di Montalcino to age well for 15-20 years, with a few of the finest targeted for optimal drinking around 2030.
Four of my favorite bottlings of 2006 Brunello di Montalcino
Among my favorites are the Il Poggione, which loyal readers know is one of my top two or three top wines each vintage; this 2006 is especially massive in its fruit concentration; the wine is superbly balanced. Look for this to be a 20 year-plus wine. The regular Poggio Antico bottling is another of my top wines each year; the 2006 offers especially lovely aromatics as well as excellent persistence. The "Altero" bottling from Poggio Antico, has a touch more wood and is not as open as the regular bottling; it is quite impressive however and should be at its best after 20 years.
The Le Chiuse offering is superb, with outstanding varietal purity; this estate excels in traditionally made Brunello and their 2006 is beautifully balanced- it is a must buy! The Ciacci Piccolomini normale bottling is also quite remarkable with its fresh morel cherry, cinnamon and nutmeg aromas, lengthy finish and graceful tannins; I actually preferred this to the more expensive "Pianrosso" bottling from this producer, though that wine is also quite well made and capable of long-term aging.
The Fuligni displays its typical class and graceful style, while the Col d'Orcia is another success; this time in a more full-bodied and tightly packed style than usual. The Silvio Nardi "Manachiara"is quite spicy with elegant tannins, while the Uccelliera displays lovely cherry fruit, silky tannins and outstanding complexity. It is not the most intense of the 2006 Brunellos (nor is it in most years), but it is one of the most subtle and harmonious.
Also look for the spicy, richly packed Maté, the supremely elegant Il Palazzone and the nicely crafted Casa Raia, which offers a nice combination of morel cherry fruit and spice such as nutmeg. This is the initial Brunello from this small estate, not far from the town of Montalcino; owners Pierre-Jean and Kalyna Monnoyer are off to an impressive start.
Finally, the Sesta di Sopra is an amazing success this year, which comes as no surprise if you've tasted their wines in previous vintages. This tiny estate is a traditional producer that emphasizes varietal character and elegance. This bottling offers some of the loveliest perfumes you'll ever find in a Brunello and an elegant mid-palate with a rich finish that sneaks up on you. The wood notes are quite subtle, the acidity is perfectly realized and the finish is extremely long with polished tannins. This wine represents its local terroir about as well as any Brunello I tasted from 2006; for this reason, this is highly recommended as one of the finest wines of the vintage.
My full reviews of the 2006 Brunellos will appear in the Spring issue of my Guide to Italian Wines, which will be sent to subscribers in late March. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for information on how to subscribe.

Do you routinely throw $5 bills away just for kicks? Probably not. And very few of us light candles with dollar bills, no matter how much we may have loved Scrooge McDuck.
But that's basically what you're doing whenever you go grocery shopping. According to a recent report from the Natural Resources Defense Council, 40 percent of the food that's grown and sold in the United States is wasted—if we cut food waste by just a third, we could feed every hungry person in the country. That waste comes to the staggering cost of $2,275 per year, for a family of four. The biggest loss category? Fresh produce. Just 48 percent of what's produced is eaten. The rest heads to landfills (or the compost pile).
Another report from the United Nations pointed the finger, in developed countries at least, squarely at grocery stores and consumers, in part because the former pushes "great bargains" that encourage the latter to buy more than they need.
The solution, though, isn't cutting back on your fresh produce purchases. It's getting smarter about how you shop. Rather than load up on bags and bags of spinach that will wilt before you get home, for instance, buy cabbage, which will keep in your fridge for months. Instead of buying grapes and kiwis and other delicate fruits that turn brown in days, buy apples, which will last for weeks.
We've compiled a list of the healthiest produce that lasts virtually forever, so you can cut down on waste and yet always have fresh veggies handy for a healthy dinner.
Apples need an optimal temperature of 30 to 32 degrees—just 10 degrees warmer, and they'll ripen twice as fast. If you want your apples to last for weeks, keep them in a plastic bag in your fruit crisper drawer, away from vegetables (the ethylene gas they emit will cause other vegetables to ripen faster).
Bonus tip: Eat the largest apples in your bag first; they're usually the first to go bad.

Beets can last between 2 and 4 months in the refrigerator. First, cut off the greens if they're still attached, and then store them in a perforated plastic bag in your vegetable crisper.
MORE: The Beauty of the Beets
Cabbage tastes best when it's fresh, but it can last for up to 2 months wrapped in plastic in your fridge. Use it as a stand-in for lettuce or other delicate leafy greens in salads, since most salad greens wilt within days due to their high water content.
MORE: Grow Your Own Cabbage.
The key to making carrots last is keeping them dry, as they give off a lot of moisture, which causes them to rot more quickly. If you buy carrots in a plastic bag, place a paper towel in the bag to absorb any moisture and change it whenever it gets saturated. This can keep them fresh for a few weeks to a few months.
MORE: Purple Carrots
A root vegetable available mostly at farmers' markets, celeriac is the root of celery plants and has a mild celerylike flavor. Celeriac likes moisture, so store it wrapped in plastic on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator. Even after it's cut, celeriac will keep for another week if wrapped well.

Garlic keeps longest when stored at 60 to 65 degrees and moderate humidity. Unless you have an older, very dry home, your garlic should do fine in a dark kitchen cabinet. You can also store whole bulbs in the fridge in a paper bag (cut garlic will make all your other food taste like garlic), where the bulbs will last for months. Just be aware that once garlic has been in the cold, it will start sprouting within days after being brought to room temperature. So if you store it this way, keep it in the fridge till just before you're ready to use it.

Store onions in a dry area where the temperature stays between 30 and 50 degrees, and they'll keep for up to a year. If you don't have a place like that, keeping them in mesh bags (like the kind used to package grocery-store onions) and storing them in a dark cabinet will let them last for up to a month, and perhaps longer.
MORE: Caramelized Onion and Sweet Potato Soup
The ideal storage temperature for potatoes is 40 degrees, which is on the warm end of most home refrigerators, and they don't like light, which can cause them to turn green. Basements or cellars usually provide perfect potato-storage conditions that will keep them from rotting for between 2 and 4 months. Keep them away from onions and apples, wherever you store them, as both emit gases that speed up the ripening process.
Bonus tip: Sweet potatoes don't last very long in storage, so eat those within a week of purchase.

Winter Radishes
Winter radishes, like the daikon variety you might see at grocery stores, are much more pungent than the red varieties you get on spring salads, so don't load up on too many if you're looking for a healthy supply of fresh veggies. Store them as you would carrots, with their greens removed and in a plastic bag accompanied by a paper towel to absorb moisture. They'll last for up to a month.
MORE: The New Status of the Radish
Winter Squash
Pumpkins, butternut squash, and other varieties of hearty winter squash will last between 2 and 6 months if kept in a dark cabinet. Keep all your squash in a single layer in your cabinet so air can circulate around them.
MORE: Penne with Caramelized Onions and Winter Squash
Rutabagas are great sources of vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber, and the fact that they can last up to a month in your refrigerator makes them good candidates for stocking up. Store them as you would celeriac, wrapped in plastic on a low shelf in your fridge.
MORE: How to Blanch and Freeze Garden Goodies
Frozen Veggies
When all else fails, head to the frozen-foods aisle. Because they are frozen within hours of being picked, frozen vegetables can be even healthier than fresh versions of spinach, asparagus, peas, and other veggies that don't last very long in storage. And you never have to worry about them going bad!

Smoking isn't allowed at concerts in the Bay Area. And yes, that means THAT kind of smoking, too.
A pair of Bay Area residents learned this the hard way when they purchased tickets to see The Who at Oracle Arena, according to SF Weekly.
The couple, responsible 40-somethings, were one of many to light up marijuana joints was the rockers began a rendition of "Quadrophenia," their 1973 rock opera.
And they weren't more than a few seconds into the show's first song when security descended and escorted them from the venue, the newspaper reported. No refunds, no ifs, ands, or buts.
The couple are medical marijuana users, and legal card holders, but the police responded to that with a "cold promise of a citation in the mail."
Most club managers and venue owners won't say this on the record, but they told the paper they prefer to have marijuana users in their audiences. "Pot smokers don't start fights," one said.
As it turns out, it's more about the security for the particular performers in question, some of whom -- like The Who's Roger Daltrey -- are very sensitive to smoke. If the police officers in Oakland were acting on instruction from the band, it might explain the venue's no-pot policy, the newspaper reported.

Lakers fire Mike Brown after slow start
- Lakers started 1-4 after acquiring Dwight Howard, Steve Nash
- Bernie Bickerstaff has been named interim coach
- The team will begin a search for a permanent replacement
The Los Angeles Lakers have fired Mike Brown just five games into a season that began with the team expected to contend for NBA championship after the additions of All-Stars Dwight Howard and Steve Nash.
USA TODAY Sports first reported the news, which was received in a text message from Brown's agent Warren Legarie.
WHAT'S NEXT?:List of potential replacement coaches
Expectations soared in Laker Land when they were able to pull off a sign-and-trade deal with Phoenix for Nash and a trade with Orlando for Howard over the summer - and with good reason.
But the Lakers went 0-8 in the preseason. They then started 1-4 with Howard still not 100% after back surgery that kept him out most of the preseason and Nash has missing the past three games with a non-displaced fracture in the head of his left fibula.
The slow beginning clearly caused enough angst among Lakers management to warrant the firing of Brown despite approximately $11 million remaining on the $18 million contract he signed when he replaced the retired Phil Jackson in the summer of 2011.
"I have great respect for the Buss family and the Lakers' storied tradition and I thank them for the opportunity they afforded me," Brown said in a statement. "I have a deep appreciation for the coaches and players that I worked with this past year and I wish the organization nothing but success as they move forward."
Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said the team was not winning at pace as expected and decided to make change even at this early stage of the season.
"After five games we weren't seeing improvement and we made a decision. Maybe it would have changed … with this team, we didn't want to wait five months and find out it wasn't going to change."
Kupchak said two main reasons for Brown's dismissal were won-loss record and lack of improvement from game to game.
STRONG REACTION:Firing causes Twitter meltdown
Kobe Bryant posted his reaction to the firing on Facebook.
Tough day. I've seen coaches as well as friends come and go. No matter how many years I've been playing, it's still hard to deal with. I had a good relationship with Mike and I will continue to have one. I wish him and his family nothing but the best. I spoke with him today and thanked him for all of his hard work and sacrifice.
SHOW ME THE MONEY:Lakers' payroll highest in NBA
Jim Buss, the son of owner Jerry Buss and the Lakers' lead executive these days, saw Brown as the sort of coach who could handle the star power that came with the Lakers. Brown was 272-138 in his five seasons in Cleveland and had the Cavaliers as perennial contenders, but was fired not long before LeBron James signed with Miami in the summer of 2010.
MORE:Threats for Brown's son on Twitter
The team said Bernie Bickerstaff would serve as interim coach. Bickerstaff previously has been coach in Seattle, Denver, Washington and Charlotte.
While it wasn't immediately clear who the Lakers would target as Brown's successor, the list of likely candidates could include former Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni, former Utah coach Jerry Sloan or perhaps even Jackson himself.
"When there's a coach like Phil Jackson... and he's not coaching, I think you'd be negligent not to be aware that he's out there," Kupchak said.
Also a possibility is Pacers assistant Brian Shaw, who served under Jackson in Los Angeles and was a finalist for the job when Brown was hired.
"It doesn't have to be a coach with championship experience," Kupchak said.

For nearly a century, family SAINTOT deploys its know-how in the development of exceptional champagnes. The family estate you opens its doors and makes you discover its vineyard and its wines.
William SAINTOT (1931-2010) began very young to work in the vineyard as well as the development of the champagne. In the fifty years his passion never left her. His unique experience of farming practices, farming the wines and Assembly are a guarantee of quality and link between the generations. He is the eldest in a family of 6 children.
His father Clément and his grand father Firmin were already at the time of the winemakers. He created his field helped his wife Paule.
Nathalie TREBUTIEN, his daughter, driven by the same passion, is the head of the House since 1995. She is working to build a sustainable quality process, to promote a viticulture of excellence, and develop the rights and subtle champagnes that make the reputation of the House
In 2008 and 2010, Gwenn and Morgann, children of Nathalie, join the adventure to continue this exciting tradition and bring new practices high environmental values, HVE, Label acknowledged in Europe.
In September 2016, Gwenn joined the company of her husband for a new experience. Today, Nathalie and Morgann continue to write the history of the House. They will be happy to receive you for you present their range.
You can follow us through social networks:
The first step of the vinification is the harvest, it is done by hand only, this has many benefits. It respects the integrity of the berries which is a crucial point for the quality of the juices and it allows to keep the stem (Wooden skeleton of the cluster). The stem will act like a drain during pressing allowing to extract more juice with less pressure. Picking the bunch of grapes also prevents early oxidation of the harvest.
The harvest is pressed as gently as possible to extract in priority, sugar, acids and aromas and the juices we obtain (called must) must settle before fermentation. The juices settle naturally for 12 to 24 hours without addition of clay or enzymes.
The alcoholic fermentation occurs a few days later. During this step the temperature is monitored and kept around 17°c to 18°c to preserve the finest aromas. After this fermentation we obtain a still wine. A few weeks later the wine undergoes a second transformation called malolactic fermentation. Lactic bacterias naturally present in the wine multiply and transform malic acid into lactic acid. Lactic acid has a softer sapidity.
The must and the wines are sorted grape variety by grape variety and plot by plot and tasted daily by the family members during the vinification time. The blending or assemblage starts around December and will last until just before the bottling in April. Using base wine from several vineyards and, in case of non vintage champagnes, several years we achieve regularity in style and quality. Only the family takes part in the blending.
The bottling is done in spring, the wine will ferment again and the carbon dioxide from this fermentation will be trapped in the bottle. The yeast responsible for this fermentation will be trapped in the bottle too and will participate to the aging.
Champagne making follows a number of strict laws to ensure quality and customer renewed pleasure. Those laws affect vines growing, picking, pressing, aging time and much more. Those processes are even more strict by William SAINTOT the aim being: Humbly following the nature so that the terroir expresses itself at is best.
Disgorging to evacuate the deposit that has accumulated in the neck of the bottle during the phase of the riddling. The neck of the bottle is immersed in a liquid at-25 ° C, causing the freezing of the deposit. The deposit and the « thingy » are then evacuated by the pressure of the gases released to the automatic opening of the bottles. There are more to add a liquor made from sugar to obtain a medium dry, rough or extra-brut… Then the bottle gets his Cork and its complete skin (muselet, label, capsule, flange).
The development of champagne is subject to many rules very strict to protect the quality and the taste experience of lovers. Among others, these rules govern the cultivation of vines, hand harvesting, pressing activities and the duration of ageing in bottle. Protocols implemented by the William SAINTOT House are stricter with always the same line of conduct, simply accompany the nature so that expressed the terroirs.
It's always with enthusiasm and passion that you will discover our daily lives if you come to visit us. Morgann or Nathalie will receive for you to share our method in the development of the champagnes of the House and we know speak you accurately of our wines and their origins
With address, mail and phone, you can reserv a visit to our winery, you'll be welcomed by a family member and will enjoy a tasting in a quiet and confortable atmosphere.

Now that's one sweet ride.
Taxi driver Mansoor Khalid is on a one-man mission to cheer up New Yorkers with a daily dose of candy.
"The New York life is not the easy life," Khalid, 36, told the Daily News. "People are depressed. I see a lot of people stressed sitting back there."
Khalid is no stranger to stress. He dubbed his taxi the NYC Candy Cab after his 2-year-old son died in April from a long battle with heart disease.
Khalid said he was inspired to do something sweet after the death of his 2-year-old son.
"I was very depressed, losing my little boy," he said. "Somehow, God gave me this idea. Now (I'm) chit-chatting and time is flying by!"
Though he doesn't eat much candy himself — "Skittles, only" — Khalid offers a wide variety of sweets, and has started cataloguing his collection on Instagram. Fans can also follow him on Twitter (@CandyCabNYC), and he may even start a blog for his growing following.
One such fan was thrilled to discover the cab on a late night out last weekend, and quickly spread the word about him through social media.
"We all started freaking out," said David Weiner, 27. "You don't see piles of candy like that in adulthood. It's just one of those things that reminds you you're in New York and anything can happen."
And Khalid's unusual project has the full support of the city.
"We encourage drivers to go the extra mile in the name of customer service, and Mr. Khalid certainly does this," said Taxi and Limousine Commission boss David Yassky. "We appreciate the loyalty he inspires in his passengers."
Loyalty isn't the goal, considering that Khalid responds to every hail, candy or no candy. His mission is to spread warmth.
"It's a little thing," he said, "but people get happy."
"I learned a lot of things," he said of the trauma of losing his child, who underwent two heart transplants and lost a kidney before he passed away. "Life is too short."
Khalid, who moved to New York from Pakistan in 1993 and has been driving a cab since 1997, had already seen the impact of small acts of generosity. During the two years he spent in the hospital with his son, he routinely brought coffee and desserts to the doctors and nurses when he got off his shift at 1 a.m.
"They got so happy when in the middle of the night I gave every person coffee," he said. "I was so nice to them and they were so nice to me."
After his son died, Khalid decided to bring his routine to the people he interacted with every day in his cab.

Seca 769 Digital Medical Scale
Price: $299.00
Shipping Wt: 60 lbs (oversized container)
all Medical Scales
click here
Intelligent functions for versatile use
Essential in hospitals and doctors' practices:
the determination of the nutritional condition of the patient. That is why the Seca 769 digital medical scale has the BMI function where the height of the patient is compared with his weight, thus providing valuable information.
The HOLD function too reduces the everyday workload: it ensures that the result
is still shown on the display after the patient has stepped down from the scale. The caregiver can therefore first attend to the patient before making a note of the weight. Additional items which are not to be included
in the weight result are simply deducted by means of the TARE function.
Site-independent and easy to transport
The Seca 769 digital medical scale can be used wherever it is needed. As it is battery-operated, no wall outlet connection is necessary. And a versatile
scale must also be easy to move around - that is why the Seca 769 medical scale is fitted with smooth running transport castors on which it can quite simply be wheeled to wherever it is needed.
Especially cost-effective and low-maintenance
The Seca 769 is extremely energy-saving and thus very cost-effective. The minimum power consumption of the low-maintenance
column scale ensures that a large number of weighings are possible with just one set of batteries. The automatic switch-off function is another reason for the low energy consumption.
Optional Seca 460 RS232 adapter set for Seca 769

Jerry Brown has been drawing positive but cautious reviews as he begins to reach out to elected officials and interest groups in Sacramento. One thing about meeting with Brown that many people seem to like:
He comes alone.
It says something our era that it's newsworthy when a governor who arrives for a meeting or speech without aides or entourage. Bob Dutton, the top Republican in the state Senate, told the Sacramento Bee's Dan Morain that he was impressed that Brown came to a Republican legislative caucus alone. Brown also recruited his finance director (who also was Schwarzenegger's finance director) by stopping by her office, unannounced and alone.

News from around the country and around the globe
To be sure, Gov. Schwarzenegger did not have the giant entourage that one might associate with a movie star--particularly late in his years in office. But he usually had at least a handful of aides with him. This is another way that the Brown governorship will be different.

Unity School of Christianity, also known as Unity (with headquarters
on a 1,400-acre campus in Unity Village, Missouri -- near Lee's Summit, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City), was "founded" in 1889 (with
the publishing of a national monthly magazine called Modern Thought --
renamed Unity Magazine in 1894) by Charles S. Fillmore
(1854-1948), a spiritist with no Christian background, and Myrtle (Paige) Fillmore
(1845-1931), a Methodist; this was after Myrtle said she was healed of
tuberculosis by repeating an occultic mind-over-matter affirmation, "I am a
child of God, and therefore I do not inherent sickness" (she had been dabbling
heavily in Christian Science). It was later incorporated as a church in 1903 by
the Unity Society of Practical Christianity. In 1948, the control of Unity was assumed by the Fillmore's
two sons, Lowell and W. Rickert Fillmore, and has since experienced tremendous growth.
Unity currently claims about 200,000 U.S. members and 1.5 million members worldwide.
Unity's leader is now Connie Fillmore Bazzy, a great-granddaughter of the founders. She controls everything from publishing Unity's magazines to the 24-hour Silent Unity Prayer ministry that generates the majority of the organization's approximately $30 million in annual income. Charles R. Fillmore is the grandson of the founder and acts as Chairman of the Board for Unity.
Unity's roots are to be found in the ministry of Dr. Franz Anton Mesmer, who practiced what was called "animal magnetism." His work involved manipulating the "subconscious" mind, and he was the first modern user of hypnotism (hence, the term "mesmerism"). Some years later, Unity joined the International New Thought Alliance (along with Christian Science and New Thought) from which many of their doctrines have emanated.1
The Fillmores studied Spiritualism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Brahmanism, Rosicrucianism, Theosophy, New Thought, Christian Science, and other Mind Science religions, believing that there was some good in every religion. (They did disagree, however; with the Christian Science doctrine that matter is not real.) Charles Fillmore admits that he and Myrtle had taken "more than forty courses (in metaphysical subjects)" (The Story of Unity, James Dillet Freeman, Unity Books publishing, pp. 35, 41-42). The Fillmores also took "several courses" from Emma Curtis Hopkins to further their understanding of New Thought. Hopkins had been an editor on the Christian Science Journal, Mary Baker Eddy's publication (The Story of Unity, pp. 43-45).
Charles Fillmore chose the ancient Egyptian winged disc, an occult symbol, as
the symbol to represent Unity. Steeped in Hinduism, Fillmore felt that he had been
associated with the symbol in previous lives. (He believed he was the
reincarnation of the Apostle Paul!) A Unity video states that this symbol is a
representation of the "Earth being lifted in consciousness." Unity
says it is "a soul giving wings to the body." These are thoroughly pagan ideas.
(Frank Yurco, an Egyptologist at the University of Chicago, says the "winged
disc" symbol represents "a fear of demons and evil gods. ... It represents the
sun-god, Ra, as he flees across the sky.")
This occultic fixation eventually led to the formation of a group which would pray, or meditate, for the healing of others. This became the Society of Silent Help, later changed to Silent Unity, that extolled the virtues of creative thinking and the power of the human mind to cure any ailment. The Fillmores never thought of starting a church, so they took the name "Unity School of Practical Christianity." "Practical" was dropped from the name in 1914, at which time the Unity Tract Society and Silent Unity incorporated under the name of Unity School of Christianity. Fillmore, during a time of silent prayer, is said to have received the name Unity. Fillmore explained he heard the name "just as the voice of Jesus was heard by Paul" (The Story of Unity, p. 61).
Today the "school" is a centralized group with churches in many areas. They distribute millions of pieces of literature a year; their most popular publications (with a total circulation of about three million) are Unity Magazine (articles on metaphysical topics) and Daily Word (their daily devotional magazine). There are many "authoritative" Unity writings, two of which are Mysteries in Genesis and Christian Healing, both by Charles Fillmore. They also air a number of radio broadcasts. They have over 500 churches and/or study groups in America, with an additional 100 or so congregations and study groups in 15 foreign countries.
Unity's doctrines are a mish-mash of borrowed teachings from different religions and philosophies -- Hinduism, Spiritism, Theosophy, Christian Science, and Christianity. At the heart of Unity's teachings is a "health and wealth" philosophy so popular to many in the professing Christian church today. But according to a Unity booklet by Elizabeth Sand Turner, What Unity Teaches, Unity has no dogmatic statement of faith to which the people must adhere. Instead, the follower is to "accept what he finds helpful to lift his consciousness to a higher level." Nevertheless, Charles R. Fillmore, grandson of Charles S. and Myrtle, wrote The Adventure Called Unity in 1963, which clearly delineates Unity's teachings.
Below are the highlights of what Unity believes concerning its source of authority, the
Godhead, Christ, sin and salvation, hell, sickness, and reincarnation:
1. Source of Authority. Because of Unity's philosophy that all religions teach truth, the Bible is simply another book of Scripture. Charles Fillmore wrote, "It is not necessary that you despise the scriptures of the Jews, of the Hindus, or of any people, but you are to take them for what they are: the records of men as to what their experiences have been in communing with the omnipresent God" (The Twelve Powers of Man, p. 115). Unity does not believe that the Scriptures are the complete and absolute authority, but that they are merely the "testimonials of men." They do not even consider their own teachings to be permanently binding, but believe that such teachings are always open to new revelation. They teach that the Bible is an "allegory" -- i.e., that experience, if you are 'in tune' with God, is more accurate and reliable than the Bible. They give metaphysical interpretations to many obvious truths in the Bible so that the normal meaning is twisted and the passage then fits their theology. (In other words, Unity says the Bible doesn't mean what it says.) They consider reason and "logic of the mind" to be their final authority. [HJB]
2. Trinity. Unity has given a metaphysical meaning to the word "trinity"; they say the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit refer to "mind, idea, and expression." They believe that God is Universal Law or divine Principle, not a person. [HJB] They teach the New Age/Pantheistic idea that God is All and All is God. They explain, "God is Spirit, or the creative energy which is the cause of all visible things. God is not a being or person having life, intelligence, love, power. God is that invisible, intangible, but very real, something we call life. Each rock, tree, animal, everything visible, is a manifestation of the one Spirit -- God -- differing only in degree of manifestation; and each of the numberless modes of manifestation, or individualities, however insignificant, contains the whole" (Lessons In Truth, H. Emilie Cady, pp. 6, 8).
3. God. Under the heading "spirit," Unity's Metaphysical Bible Dictionary states, "A name for God. Spirit and Mind are synonymous; therefore we know God-Spirit as Mind, the one Mind, or Intelligence, of the universe." The Dictionary continues with "The Father is Principle. Thus, we might also say, Father is Being in the absolute, the unlimited, the unrelated" (p. 629). "Childlike, untrained minds say God is a personal being. The statement that God is principle chills them, and in terror they cry out. God is the name we give to that unchangeable, inexorable principle at the source of all existence. To the individual consciousness God takes on personality, but as the creative underlying cause of all things, He is principle, impersonal; as expressed in each individual, He becomes personal to that one -- a personal, loving, all-forgiving Father-Mother" (Lessons In Truth, p. 11).
4. Jesus Christ. Unity teaches that Christ is an idea, the essence of
"divine Mind." They claim that Jesus was merely a perfect man who fully
possessed the Christ principle, which He obtained by advancing "through many
reincarnations" (What Unity Teaches). They say that every person is
potentially perfect, and that Jesus expressed that perfection, and while we are still only
working toward it, we are part of the divine universal consciousness, and
therefore, divine by nature. They believe that we can do anything Jesus did, in effect raising
mankind to the level of the divine, and making us equal with Jesus Christ. [HJB]
Unity tells us that studying about God and Jesus Christ is not enough. We must discover
the Christ principles of successful living and then be ready to apply them to our own
daily living. In summary, rather than viewing Jesus as the Savior from our sins, Unity
views Him as merely the "Way Shower."2
Unity believes in the Second Coming of Christ, not in the flesh, but as the out-pouring of the Holy Spirit to all who are prepared to receive it. The Holy Spirit is a latent power within every man. This, they believe, is the fulfillment of the promise of Jesus to his disciples (e.g., Unity says, "In this day of great spiritual awakening, when the hearts and minds of many are turning to God, the Second Coming of Christ is taking place for them.").
5. Holy Spirit. Charles Fillmore, again in harmony with the Pantheistic
ideology of his day, stated that the Holy Spirit was not a personal being, but
rather only an impersonal force. He wrote, "The Holy Spirit in Divine Mind
corresponds to our thought in our minds. So we can ideate the unlimited Divine
Mind, but when this Mind is brought into our world or consciousness it is
limited to our conception of it" (Atom-Smashing Power of Mind, p.
6. Sin and Salvation. Unity denies the reality of sin and evil. They do not recognize man as being sinful or in need of salvation, because they believe that every person is part of God. They teach that we can overcome weaknesses and mistakes through wisdom and right thinking, not by a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. [HJB] Instead, Unity tells us that man's mind is his connecting link with God, and that if man is to control his spiritual growth and fulfillment, he must control his thinking. They teach that the atonement is the reconciliation of our minds with the Divine Mind.
In Talks on Truth, Unity says: "Salvation is finally attained when the cycle of rebirth is broken and man comes to birth no more. The true spiritual body is to replace the physical body and the man becomes like Christ. This is to be done on earth ... eternal life means conscious existence in the body." For Unity, then, salvation and true religious growth are "do-it-yourself projects" (The Adventure Called Unity, pp. 6-7).
7. Hell. With the Unity concept of the power of positive thinking, there is no talk about sin, and therefore, no eternal hell and no eternal punishment. They deny that hell is a real place, but claim that both heaven and hell are "states of mind," not geographical locations, that people experience as a result of their thoughts, words, and deeds. [HJB] Unity, thereby, is one of the most dangerous cults, because it lulls followers into thinking that they will never have to face the living God of the Bible.
8. Sickness. Unity claims that pain, sickness, old age, and death are not real. Instead, they teach a process of healing that uses "denial" and mental power: "Unity believes in the creative power of thoughts and words. We can have neither good nor ill unless we think and speak it into manifestation. ... what we think and speak will act to lift the consciousness to a higher level" (What Unity Teaches).
9. Reincarnation. Unity goes a step beyond Christian Science in its teaching of "transmigration of souls." Unity believes in reincarnation, i.e., that through a long process of rebirths we eventually reach perfection and immortality. (Unity teaches that Christ had been David, Moses, and Elijah in previous lives.) This was borrowed directly from Hinduism, in effect, lifted right out of Hindu's sacred writings. (However, unlike Hinduism, Unity's reincarnation is only to a new human body, never to an animal body.) They claim that God never intended for man to die, but that reincarnation was His merciful provision (cf. Heb. 9:27). They teach that once we reach perfection, we become part of the "Divine Mind," an eternal state of peace and tranquility [HJB]. Fulfillment, for the Unity adherent, is to come to the end of countless reincarnations, because one has then finally arrived at his Christ-like perfection state -- "The second birth is that in which we 'put on Christ.' It is a process of mental adjustment and body transmutation that takes place right here on earth." [From Unity's Statement of Faith, Article 22: "We believe that the dissolution of spirit, soul and body caused by death, is annulled by rebirth of the same spirit and soul in another body here on earth. We believe the repeated incarnations of man to be a merciful provision of our loving Father to the end that all may have opportunity to attain immortality through regeneration, as did Jesus."]
10. Summary. Following are quotes from Charles Fillmore's book Christian Healing (Unity School of Christianity, Unity Village, MO). They are found at the end of the chapters in his book and are meant as summarizations and points of meditation:
"God is the name of my good" (p. 17);
"God is the name of the everywhere Principle, in whom I live, move, and have my being" (p. 17);
"I am the son of God, and the Spirit of the Most High dwells in me" (p. 29);
"I am the only begotten son, dwelling in the bosom of the Father" (p. 29);
"I am the Christ of God" (p. 29);
"I and my Father are one" (p. 29);
"I am one with Almightiness" (p. 29);
"God is good, and God is all, therefore I refuse to believe in the reality of evil in any of its forms" (p. 60);
"My perfection is now established in Divine Mind" (p. 83);
"Holding continuously to the reality of things spiritual establishes them in mind -- they become mental substance" (p. 84);
"I see the light of Christ consciousness always" (p. 106).
11. Biblical Response.
1 A religious movement that began in
the United States in the late 19th century, New Thought stresses the power of the mind to
heal disease and to improve life. Its individualistic orientation has hindered the
development of centralized institutions. New Thought, however, has influenced many who
claim no allegiance to its organizations. Phineas P. Quimby, a mental healer and
metaphysician, is considered the founder of
New Thought, even though the movement incorporates ideas of other thinkers, including
those of the American transcendentalists. Warren F. Evans (1817-89) and Julius A. Dresser
(1838-93) spread Quimby's teachings. The magazine New Thought, which is still
published today as Unity Magazine, was begun in 1894. The National New Thought Alliance was formed in 1908, and
the International New Thought Alliance (INTA) in 1914. The Unity School of Christianity,
although not part of INTA, is a prominent New Thought movement.
New Thought was a philosophical school of thought that believed in the ability of the human mind to solve all of the problems one might encounter. According to New Thought, the tremendous power of mind is explained by the divinity of humankind. Unlike Christian Science, which New Thought resembles in some respects, New Thought does not accept any final revelation and is not opposed in principle to material medicine. New Thought's optimistic influence can be seen in such works as Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking (1952). New Thought has also paved the way for recent interest in faith healing and in non-Western religions. (Source: 1995 Grolier Electronic Multimedia Encyclopedia.) [Back to Text]
2 As with other New Age/pantheistic groups, Unity distinguishes between Jesus, the man, and Christ, the divine consciousness. This view of Christ is also shared by the Christian Science church of Mary Baker Eddy. Unity states: "Jesus represents God's idea of man in expression; Christ is that idea in the absolute." Unity draws a similar concept of the birth of Jesus as many other New Age cults. The Metaphysical Bible Dictionary, pp. 345-346, states: "In the individual consciousness, the meaning of Jesus' being born in Bethlehem of Judea is that the principles of truth have laid hold of the intelligent substance of Spirit (Bethlehem), and through praise (Judea) have brought the Christ into manifestation. It is wise to protect the newborn spiritual consciousness from contact with Herod, the personal ego; Herod seeks 'the young child to destroy him,' but under the guidance of Spirit, no harm comes to the child. He is taken into Egypt (down into the protected places of the subconsciousness), to remain until the personal ego destroys itself; then the Christ child is free to come forth and express."

Initial Installation (Integration Services)
SQL Server Integration Services is installed through the SQL Server 2008 Setup program. You can install Integration Services alongside other SQL Server components or you can install Integration Services as a stand-alone component. Integration Services includes both client and server applications.
To use a dedicated server for extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) processes, we recommend that you install a local instance of the SQL Server Database Engine when you install Integration Services. Integration Services typically stores packages in an instance of the Database Engine and relies on SQL Server Agent for scheduling those packages. If the ETL server does not have an instance of the Database Engine, you will have to schedule or run packages from a server that does have an instance of the Database Engine. This means that the packages will not be running on the ETL server, but instead on the server from which they were started. As a result, the resources of the dedicated ETL server are not being used as intended. Furthemore, the resources of other servers might be strained by the running ETL processes.
Getting Started with Installation
To get started, review the following items, find the item that best matches your objective, and then click the corresponding link for more information:
Read about hardware and software requirements, or learn more about components in SQL Server. For more information, see Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 and Editions and Components of SQL Server 2008 R2.
Learn about the options that you have to select when you install Integration Services. For more information, see Considerations for Installing Integration Services.
Install Integration Services. For more information, see How to: Install SQL Server 2008 R2 (Setup) or How to: Install SQL Server 2008 R2 from the Command Prompt.
Next Steps after Installation
After you install Integration Services, you can do the following steps:
Verify that installation succeeded by starting SQL Server Management Studio and connecting to the newly-installed Integration Services service.
Use the tutorials to learn basic skills for building packages.
Download and install Integration Services samples to learn about combining tasks, sources, transformations, and destinations to build useful packages.
The following sections provide instructions for performing these steps.
Verify the Installation
To verify your installation of Integration Services, start SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the newly-installed Integration Services service.
To connect to Integration Services
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.
In the Connect to Server dialog box, select the following options:
In the Server type list, select Integration Services.
In the Server name box, enter a server name.
Make sure to enter a computer name, not the name of an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine. The service is not specific to a particular instance of the Database Engine. You connect to the service by using the name of the computer on which the service is running.
Click Connect.
SQL Server Management Studio opens. By default, the Object Explorer window is open and positioned in the lower-left corner of the development environment. If Object Explorer is not open, on the View menu, click Object Explorer.
Run the Tutorials
To learn basic skills for building packages, you can step through these tutorials that are included with Integration Services:
To obtain the sample data files that the tutorials use, together with the completed packages that you can use to check your work, download the samples, as described in the next section.
Download the Samples
In SQL Server 2008, you can download and install the AdventureWorks2008R2 sample database, the Integration Services sample packages, and the Integration Services programming samples from the Microsoft CodePlex site.
To download the Integration Services samples
Open a browser window, and either type http://www.CodePlex.com, or click SQL Server Samples to go directly to the Microsoft SQL Server Samples and Community Projects portal page.
On the page, find Microsoft SQL Server Product Samples.

Police: Store employee accused of stealing debit card
A South Orlando clothing store employee is facing multiple counts of fraud Thursday.
Investigators said it was scheme to turn a customer's pre-paid debit card into cash.
Deputies said 21-year-old Evald Grude rang up a Brazilian tourist's purchase, never returned the card, and used it to go on a high dollar shopping spree.
Officials said Grude, while on his lunch break from the Hollister clothing store at the Florida Mall, walked to the Apple Store and made some purchases.
"Within minutes of not getting her card back and leaving the store the employee takes his lunch break and is down at the Apple Store buying an iPod and a laptop," said Orange County sheriff's spokeswoman Jane Watrel.
After Grude made two more purchases at a 7-Eleven and Target, investigators said he want home, put the electronics on Craigslist and made a $900 profit. By that time, the tourist had reported the card missing.
Officials said there was something else Grude did not plan on.
"There were two different sets of surveillance tapes," said Watrel. "One was at the store where he works, the Hollister store, and one was at the Target which has outstanding surveillance video that shows the purchases and the transactions using the tourist's card."
Armed with the evidence, deputies said they confronted Grude and got a full confession.
WESH 2 News went to Grude's east Orange County address to ask about it.
A woman who identified herself as the mother of Grude's fiancée said she had no idea about this arrest.
Authorities said they believe Grude targeted the Brazilian tourist in the mistaken belief that prosecutors would not bring her back to testify against him.

August 7, 2013 — Fifteen years ago, Jesuit Father Bill Creed cofounded the Ignatian Spirituality Project (ISP) in Chicago to offer retreats to an often-overlooked group: the homeless. Fr. Creed and Ed Shurna, director of the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, have been helping homeless people build community, find hope and transform their lives through ISP ever since.
"Many outreach programs for the homeless try to address basic attributes such as food, clothing, shelter and employment," said Fr. Creed. "However, when addiction is in play – and it often is for the homeless – there can be no real transition from poverty until the individual person has the inner resources to make different choices … Ignatian Spirituality believes that facing our brokenness begins with facing our truth and encountering the unconditional love of our God who actively labors with us and desires for us ever greater freedom."
Fr. Creed recently shared about his own spiritual journey while conducting the retreats. Fr. Creed recalled that a man from Canada once showed up two days early at a workshop for which he had not registered, demanding free housing, a free workshop and a special diet. Fr. Creed became very angry with the man in front of the staff.
In response to Fr. Creed's reaction, one of his colleagues commented on his lack of hospitality for a man who was "poor not only materially but psychologically and socially" and suggested Fr. Creed was "not only angry but also fearful" and out of touch with his own internal poverty.
Looking back, Fr. Creed said, "It was that event which began to lead me to listen inwardly, to my own brokenness, my vulnerability, to what was below my anger and fear. I am poor and that is a gift … We are invited to follow Christ's poor, either in spiritual poverty or actual poverty."
Since it began in 1998, ISP has grown into a national network of more than 400 lay volunteers who help homeless men and women through retreats and spiritual companionship, and a new survey shows that the project is helping. The ISP Outcomes Survey, a two-year study conducted in collaboration with a number of organizations and professionals, has confirmed that people who participate in ISP programs experience long-term internal and external change. According to the results, participants experienced a statistically significant decrease in loneliness and improvement in housing and employment six months after a retreat.
Fr. Creed said that feeling as though one is listened to, believed in, respected and trusted can be transformative in a homeless person's life, and ISP can provide such listening presences. "We are all called to do this wherever we are," he said.
