24 Hours of PASS To Celebrate Women's History Month
By Thomas LaRock
Mark your calendars! The next 24 Hours of PASS event is taking
place March 15 and 16. We are sticking to the two day format with 12 sessions
presented each day.
Since March is also Women's History month we'll be carrying
that theme through to the online event. As a result we plan to feature 24
prominent female speakers during the course of the event with session content as
always, focused on SQL Server.
If you have an abstract in mind or have
suggestions for specific speakers or topics, send us an email at
firstname.lastname@example.com. Deadline for abstract
submission (max 250 words with a 125 word bio) is January 14.
Database Security Survey
The PASS 2010 Database Security report, "Data in the
Dark: Organizational Disconnect Hampers Information Security", has been released
and is
available for download. Members provided insight on their organizations'
security practices and level of preparedness for database security breaches and,
surprisingly, nearly half of the study's respondents said that a database breach
would have greater impact on organizational security than any other IT
component. To find out more

New 24 Hours of PASS Committee
In an effort to continue the success of the 24 Hours of PASS (24 HoP) events,
PASS is looking to share some of the decision-making surrounding each event to
the folks that know best – you the SQL Server Community!
24 HoP will now be overseen by a
community-based member committee with international representation: Charlie
Hanania (Europe), Jorge Segarra (North America), and Rob Farley (Australia) are set to take the helm. As a start, the committee will re-examine the speaker
selection process and solicit greater involvement from the community in choosing
speakers and topics for each event.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Well organised, friendly, great atmosphere, picturesque sceneryIn full: Thank you to all involved - the race was so friendly and well organised, with fantastic local support. Plenty of water stations & energy drinks too if you want them, and handy that the water is in bottles. Easterly headwind for the last 4 miles was taxing, more so than the gradual climb up Waterworks Valley.Date of review: October 9, 2012
In short: Pretty, friendly, funIn full: I really enjoyed this race, which I ran for the first time this year - thanks to all the marshals and organisers for making it such fun. The race passes through picture postcard villages and along some muddy tracks, for nearer 11k than 10, I think! Plenty of uphill stretches but none of them goes on for too long. I loved the downhill through the fields towards the river bank, and even the extra muddy path along the bank (despite falling over into a clump of stinging nettles).Date of review: August 14, 2009
In short: Glorious scenery, hard workIn full: This was my favourite ever run, but I think the hardest race I have done in 3 1/2 years of running! The scenery was spectacular and the course well-marshalled. Plenty of friendly support along the way, just where it was needed (very dedicated of people to walk up all those hills). Thanks to the organiser, who kindly sorted out my mislaid number two days beforehand.Date of review: July 8, 2009
In short: Swift and scenicIn full: Thanks for a smoothly organised, friendly race - lucky with the weather too. Runners at the back of the field had to negotiate their way through meandering crowds. Would it be worth tapes/barriers to encourage non-runners and those already finished to keep off the course?Date of review: April 11, 2009
In short: Fast, friendly, well organised, large field, good atmosphereIn full: Thanks to the organisers, marshals and other volunteers - I really enjoyed the race. Thanks also for trying to ban MP3 players.Date of review: March 29, 2009
In short: Smoothly organised, rural pretty courseIn full: First time at this race, which I really enjoyed despite the headwinds. Lovely scenery, sufficient hills, cheerful marshalls. Thanks to the official on the bike who encouraged me through my horrible stitch at 8 miles. Quiet roads, but there were one or two kamikaze cyclists.Date of review: March 9, 2009
In short: Hilly, muddy, wet, friendlyIn full: Many thanks to the organisers, volunteers and cheerful marshalls. This was my second year - I enjoyed it even more this time, especially the rope ladders! It was great to see some familiar faces from last year and the atmosphere was friendly all round. Definitely worth the long drive, and I'm looking forward to next year.Date of review: February 23, 2009
In short: Hard work, friendly, well organisedIn full: Thanks for an enjoyable race, well organised and marshalled. I was inwardly complaining at that final hill (especially near the top), but it didn't seem as bad as last year and the weather was so much better. The start and finish through the avenue of trees is splendid and I'd recommend this as a friendly, suitably challenging small race to anyone who hasn't done it. I liked the mug as a memento. Thank you to the maker of the courgette cake.Date of review: November 17, 2008
In short: Enjoyable, varied off road course through the treesDate of review: June 23, 2008
In short: Flat, fast, friendly marshalsIn full: Thanks to all the marshals and other volunteers who helped this to run so smoothly.Date of review: April 6, 2008

In a new version of Clement Clarke Moore's 1823 Christmas poem, "A Visit From St. Nicholas," Santa has no pipe in his teeth or encircling wreath of smoke. Canadian independent publisher Pamela McColl disapproves of smoking.
Sanitizing children's literature is a bad idea, writes Anita N. Voelker, an associate professor of education, in an Ed Week commentary.
. . . one of my student-teachers read The Tale of Despereaux, by Kate DiCamillo, to her 4th graders. As she shared the scene in which a father, cigarette in his clamped mouth, sells his daughter, she looked up to find 24 pairs of horrified eyes upon her. She paused, recognizing this was troubling. Wisely, she created time for conversation.
She assumed that the children were disturbed by the selling of a child. But, in whispered unison, the children warned their young student-teacher that the word "cigarette" is forbidden at their school. They insisted that she replace "cigarette" with "chicken." Strikingly, a man with a chicken in his mouth made a strange substitution, but the children were surprisingly satisfied and seemingly unfazed that a child was being sold by her father … as long as he was not smoking!
Voelker asks: Why not teach children that people in the past didn't realize the dangers of smoking?

and 28

LEWISTON—The New York Power Authority (NYPA), in
cooperation with the Niagara County Federation of Conservation Clubs

Can I use a T-Mobile-compatible signal booster device?
Yes. A signal booster is a device that helps to extend the cellular coverage footprint in areas of weak or poor coverage. However, in order to use a signal booster, you will need to register the device at https://www.signalboosterregistration.com/.
How do I know I am on T-Mobile's Network?
The phone's SIM card will begin with the numbers 890 1260. If there is no SIM card or it does not begin with those numbers, then your device is not on a GSM network and your T-Mobile-compatible signal booster will not operate.
Why do I have to register?
In order to ensure signal boosters are not interfering with cellular coverage, the FCC has mandated signal boosters be registered with carriers. All carriers allowing the use of signal boosters on their network must provide consumers the ability to register the use address of the booster. The carrier can then use this information when troubleshooting network issues. In the event a booster is causing problems on the network, registration helps carriers identify and locate the booster. Registration helps to protect consumers and carriers by streamlining network troubleshooting ensuring a positive signal experience.
What data is collected for registration and how will it be used?
The information collected during registration is specific to locating the address where the booster is used and the contact information of the user in the event that the carrier needs to contact the user about the booster. This information will only be used to locate boosters in the event network issues are believed to be linked to the booster operation.
How do I register?
If you purchased your own booster or have moved from the original address where it was used, click https://www.signalboosterregistration.com to access the registration tool. Please be advised that this registration page is only for T-Mobile compatible signal booster.
More information on the FCC requirements can be found here: http://wireless.fcc.gov/signal-boosters/index.html.

Michael Lewis wrote a book about the left tackle position. Disney made a movie about it. Outside of finding an elite quarterback, finding an elite left tackle is among the most important accomplishments for an NFL franchise.
What makes up a great left tackle and which players in the NFL today best represent those traits? We answer those questions as part of the B/R NFL 1,000. The series offers an in-depth look at every position in the NFL, breaking down the players' skills in a way never before seen on the Internet.
After hours spent scouting every starter, the top 32 left tackles have been scored in 10 criteria (here's more on how we analyzed offensive lineman). In the slides that follow, we'll explain each player's strengths and weaknesses as the final ranking is revealed.

Embraer Expands Dubai Service Center
Embraer is expanding the authorization scope of its aircraft service center ExecuJet Middle East as an authorized Embraer service center at Dubai International Airport. The center is now authorized to perform line maintenance on the Lineage 1000 ultra-large jet and for base maintenance on the Phenom 300 light jet, the company said.

Countries in West Africa and the Sahel
West Africa and Sahel Programme
In the West Africa and Sahel region, millions of vulnerable people who depend on the production, marketing and consumption of crops, livestock, fish, forests and other natural resources are confronted by recurring disasters and crises. These shocks undermine their livelihoods and threaten their food and nutrition security. Drought, floods, the locust threat, socio-political instability or rising food prices exacerbate the structural weaknesses of countries in this region, known for their decreasing soil fertility and desertification, insufficient agriculture investments, high poverty rate and population growth.
Food security and livelihoods challenges in 2014
Despite the 2013 harvest in the Sahel being equivalent to the last five years average, over 20 million people will struggle with food insecurity in the Sahel in 2014.
Vulnerable households have barely recovered from the previous food security crises (2005, 2008, 2010, 2012), and need support to become more resilient. Without adequate means to restore their livelihoods, they will be forced to turn to negative coping mechanisms (sale of livestock and agricultural inputs, reducing number and quality of daily meals, accumulating debt, decreasing expenditures for education, health and malnutrition-related care, selling their force labour on the detriment of cultivating their own plot, etc.) leaving them even more vulnerable to future shocks thus aggravating food insecurity.
In addition to the life saving and livelihoods restoration from current food insecurity, additional challenges should be addressed in 2014:
- Possible erratic climatic patterns or drought which may cause loss of crops and livestock hence disrupting livelihoods;
- Population displacements due to possible natural or man-made disasters;
- Desert locust constituting a perennial threat to crops if not timely controlled;
- Humanitarian access, regularly jeopardized by armed group;
- Timely funding of agriculture and livestock activities;
- Important livelihood needs unaddressed in the past years. In fact while the assistance provided in response to the Sahel crisis has been crucial, millions of households did not benefit from adequate support and will require reinforced assistance in 2014.
FAO and resilience in West Africa/Sahel
It is crucial to break the vicious cycle of crises by proactively building the resilience capacities of farmers, agropastoralist, pastoralists and fishermen communities to cope with these shocks. As part of its objectives to increase the resilience of livelihoods from disasters, FAO, with national and regional partners, (i) analyses vulnerabilities, (ii) protects the livelihoods and food security of the most vulnerable populations through prevention and mitigation measures, and (iii) restores and strengthen affected livelihoods to respond to crises.
FAO's Regional Resilience, Emergency and Rehabilitation Office for West Africa/Sahel (REOWA) was created in Dakar in 2006 to enable FAO to liaise and coordinate with humanitarian actors at regional level. The Office also provides strategic humanitarian guidance for FAO's country offices in the sub-region.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 18 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Msochor Great pants I love these pants. Even at 5'4", I still have to shorten so many pants. These ankle length really fit me well. May 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AuntieRe GREAT pants Fit great. And the material is so soft and comfortable yet resists wrinkling. May 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ccr82 Excellent choice These slacks are well worth the money. They look and feel tailor-made. I wear a P10, but I have a little tummy pooch. The give on the waistband made them a perfect fit - not tight in the waist. I will order another pair. July 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TexasDiva Very Good Purchase These pants are just as they were described. They fit well and since I am short their length is perfect for me. I cannot wear petite sizes due to the short rise so these are great for me. They have a slight sheen, which gives them a little dressier appearance. The below waist placement helps to "hold the tummy in a bit" so that is good. I can wear them with tunics as well as regular tops too so they are quite versatile. They are wrinkle resistant so I will use them for travel. September 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by chaser This is my third pair I love these slacks as they fit me perfectly, everywhere. I see they now have Navy, which I will be ordering. I own 2 pairs of the slacks in white, which I live in during the summer. September 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carefulannie I like these pants Comfortable pants. Look sharp. Spills can usually be blotted up right away leaving little residue. True ankle length for my 5'7" frame. November 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lovetennis Will Reorder - Fit is Great Wish these were available in other colors. The fabric is a very high quality and they hold their shape. The rise is comfortable and the length is perfect. I am just about 5' 3 and curvy. Hard to find perfect pants. January 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Caligrl Perfect fit The fit was perfect for me and so was the length. Nice quality, although I prefer a little more cotton in the blend. Comfortable to wear. These pants will be great for travel. A little over-priced, in my opinion. February 15, 2015

Is anyone else really excited about this game? I first saw it many moons ago on a youtube video and thought it looked amazing. Now it's pending release, I think it's with MS for final certification.
Is this the first killer game for Windows Phone? I'm new to WP and I must say the games selection is abysmal, unless you like word based games. There is isn't a 5* game on the platform, until now IMO.
What makes Skulls so good? Its a turn based strategy game that can be played asynchronously between Xbox360, Surface, Windows 8 and Windows Phone users. But its not a boring turn based strategy game, its fast paced and packs a punch with games flying by. Not only can you play multiplayer across platforms, you can continue your game, both single player and multiplayer, on another device. So if you are playing on your 360 and have to catch the train, you can continue where you left off on your phone or tablet.
Personally I can't wait for Skulls, roll on release date........

I saw the ad yesterday, quite amusing. Not sure about game play as it doesn't show much details there, looks fun tho

Calling something a 5-star title is tough and a matter of preference. Personally, I really like having Minesweeper on my device, Flowerz is good, and Galaxy Rush is a nice non-Xbox title. There are several high-quality titles on the platform if you look around a bit. There are many other games I like on Windows Phone (both word-based and not).
Skulls is a graphically superb 3D game that can be played against pc and xbox users and it should be marketed to the heavens by MS. They finally have something to shout about for once.

Wow! Really excited for this. And with WP7 support!
From their website:
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Samurais, Gods, and Deities: THE TIME HAS COME!
Skulls of the Shogun will be released worldwide on January 30th, 2013 for Xbox Live Arcade, Windows 8, Windows Surface, and Windows Phone! Get ready! Its finally coming!
Colin has cooked up a fresh new launch trailer for your enjoyment!
So far, early print reviews have been quite positive and weve been getting some solid review scores from print magazines such as Game Informer (8.5!) and OXM UK (9.0!).
If youre one of those people who like to see these announcements in press release form, the official announcement is below
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE17-BIT TO RELEASE SKULLS OF THE SHOGUN WORLDWIDE ON JANUARY 30th, 2013The highly anticipated action-packed turn-based strategy game will be released simultaneously on Xbox Live Arcade, Windows 8, Windows Surface, and Windows PhoneSEATTLE, WA (January 10, 2013) Indie developer 17-BIT today announced that they will be releasing Skulls of the Shogun worldwide on January 30th, 2013 for Xbox 360, Windows 8 PC, Microsoft Surface, and Windows Phone. The Xbox 360 version will be available for 1200 Microsoft Points in the Xbox Live Marketplace, the Windows 8/Surface version for $14.99 in the Microsoft Store, and the Windows Phone version for $6.99 in the Windows Phone Marketplace.
Skulls of the Shogun is an invigorating cocktail of 1960s-flavored sorcery and strategy. Washed up on the shores of the afterlife, players meet and join forces with vibrant ghost-samurai warriors, magical animal-monks, and mustachioed samurai generals on the way to capture the Skulls of the Shogun in a 15-hour single-player campaign.Skulls of the Shogun also features up to four-player local and online multiplayer battles.
Also, for the first time ever, players will be able to challenge their friends, fight their way through online multiplayer battles, and even take their single-player campaign on the road asynchronously whether theyre playing on Xbox 360, Windows 8, Surface, or Windows Phone. Called Skulls Anywhere, this cross-platform gameplay has never been done before on Microsoft platforms and will be available at launch on all four launch platforms!
After three and a half years, Skulls of the Shogun is finally ready to be released, said 17-BIT Founder and CEO, Jake Kazdal. Were ecstatic we could bring Skulls to all four of Microsofts platforms, and bring them all together with cross-platform functionality. We appreciate the excitement and patience by all the Skulls of the Shogun fans, and we here at 17-BIT believe the wait will be well worth it.
Skulls of the Shogun will be localized in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian.

Pretty stoked for this, looking forward to playing my other 360 friends on their consoel while I'm sat in bed with my HTC 8X :) Not so intregued about the cloud storage though, i'm taking that you need to purchase each format to be able to play on that, so a min of 2 purchases!.
I was totally into the idea of buying this game on my Xbox and Windows Phone, maybe even my Windows 8 desktop. After seeing the price, I'll pass. $22 for what I wanted, which is a cross-platform phone game? No, thanks. I mean, if someone wanted this on a desktop, Surface RT, Xbox, and Windows Phone (since they advertise its functionality on all 4 platforms), that's AT LEAST $37. If the Windows 8 and Windows RT platforms don't share a license either, you're talking $52 to get the full spectrum of functionality across the 4 platforms, and they're the exact same game. I really don't like that.
So, if this drops to about 800 MSP and $3-5 on WP, I'll reconsider, but I can't convince myself to buy into this game at these prices.
If you're going to compare it to anything, compare it to similar games--the 2-D games you find on smartphones and XBLA. The entry barrier is simply too high for a startup game, in my opinion. How much was Angry Birds when it first launched? $1? $5 for this is extreme, let alone $7. I personally think there should be a bundle discount, as many would be more willing to buy multiple licenses if this was the case. For example:
Xbox: $15
Windows 8: $10
Windows RT: $10
Windows Phone: $7
If they did something more like that, I'd strongly consider $15 XBLA+WP8 license. Instead, I'm not going to be buying this at all. I could justify the $15 for the XBLA game alone, but I would primarily want this for my phone, and $7 is too much for a phone game. I just think they should have done like Nokia and priced their first go more aggressively, rather than having the most expensive game on the WP8 platform.
Xbox 360
Windows 8/Surface
Windows Phone 7/8
So the max your going to pay is $21.98 plus 1200 MS points. (Don't know how much that is in the states) Probably no more than $30 in total i imagine. For the amount of hours game play you will get out of it in comparison to a lot of retail xbox games at the moment, I think its pretty good! Most single player Xbox games campaigns only last about 8-10 hours and for the double of the price of the total of all 3 versions for this.

Hate to disappoint you but $7 isnt too much for a phone game, if it is a quality game. As a matter of fact, a few of the gameloft games that were announced & coming to WP8 are priced at $7 on apple's app store. Is this game worth it? idk, I think we'd have to play it before saying what its worth....at least the demo
Also, a game like Angry birds is very basic(popular, but basic), so saying because they charge $1 every other game should imo is wrong. For example, games like this(MC4) shouldnt be a $1 because the time it takes & the dev needs to make them isnt the same as angry birds....I would think its not the same for this skulls game, and also AB sells millions of copies, so they can afford to sell they game at a much lower price

I feel that they should offer a bundle price. This has the potential to be a real head turner and a game changer. To link all area of the ecosystem and have them singing from the same hymn sheet is colossal and the way forward.
Sadly, the pricing (always an MS weak point) is out of whack. Fair play, if you are only buying one, it may not be too bad. But they really could clean up if they offered a second platform at a huge reduction. I am thinking 50% off subsequent purchases. They should relish the opportunity to sell the same game to the same person on multiple platforms.
I understand that they have worked on this for some time, but someone (either MS or Nokia) need to look at the bigger picture. If you sell one copy to a user, happy days. If you can then eek out a further small amount surely that is more desirable. And if the price is right I think people would do it. I would consider the Xbox version, but cant justify the double purchase at full price.

What's with all this turn by turn stuff? Where's the real time multiplayer?
Skulls of the Shogun isn't a 3D game though, is it? It's a 2D, turn-based game. Compared to Mario Kart, it's very simple. Even though Angry Birds might not be AS advanced, remember it actually has to have some semblance of physics for impact and movement and such. It's basic, but it's not like Skulls is on the level of a Mario Kart-level title, either.
And, as you might have noticed, when I suggested price changes, I even left the WP8 version at $7. I won't simply buy a phone game for $7, not happening. If they would give a discount on a multi-license purchase, I'd buy multiple licenses. Since they don't, I'm not buying any licenses. I'm trying to point out that a combo deal would increase sales.
Stop twisting my words on this stuff. I said that Angry Birds is $1, so this really shouldn't be $7. To say that my statement about Angry Birds' pricing meant I think all games should be priced the same is just idiotic. I'm saying $7 is way too much, and $5 is pushing it. I could tolerate $5, but not $7. At not point did I say ALL games needed to be $1, so to then throw Modern Combat on top of it...the nicest thing I can say is "stop being stupid about this."
However, you decided to throw the conversation in this direction, so I'll follow. Modern Combat looks really good, especially for a mobile game. How much is it? $7 on iOS. So, if THAT is $7, how can anyone justify $7 for Skulls of the Shogun? That Modern Combat is $7 just furthers my argument that $7 is WAY too much and $5 is borderline too much when we're comparing a turn-by-turn, 2D game to a real-time, 3D FPS.

Countdown to Sochi — we'll be there
Mark your calendars: Exactly one year from today, the 2014 Winter Olympics will begin. Therefore, it's a good time to announce some great news: The Enterprise will once again send a reporter to cover the games firsthand – this time all the way to Sochi, Russia.
The photojournalist credential is approved, a hotel room is in the works, and while there's still a ton more to do, we're practicing our pronunciation of "SPAH-see-boh" ("thank you" in Russian), because we owe some major gratitude.
Mainly we are indebted to the Charles B. Decker Memorial Scholarship, named for a former Enterprise editor who died too young, which is providing critical funding for this venture. We thank the Decker family, the fund's trustees, its donors and its administrators at the Adirondack Community Trust, as well as the Saranac Lake Rotary Foundation for facilitating the grant.
We couldn't afford to do this on our own; the reason we could in 2002 and 2010 was because the reporters knew people they could stay with, wiping out the biggest expense – lodging.
For all of its 22 years, Decker scholarships have been given to high school graduates to study journalism (preferably print) in university. This year, however, the trustees decided to do something different, something that benefits more than just one local person at a time. They adapted it to give a local reporter the opportunity to do something he's never done before, to cross a new professional horizon – and in so doing, to connect our local Olympians with the thousands of people who are proud of them, connecting them across the globe via the Enterprise.
To fit within the spirit of the Decker Scholarship, the reporter who received the grant had to have never covered the Olympics before. Therefore, it couldn't be Senior Sports Writer Lou Reuter, who covered the games for us in 2002 and 2010, or Managing Editor Peter Crowley, who joined Lou in Vancouver three years ago.
So it's Mike Lynch, our sports and outdoors writer who has raked in awards. He's an excellent writer and photographer who has stayed committed to improving his craft since he began his career in the 1990s. He has covered Winter Olympic sports since 2006, covers them regularly in Lake Placid and covers our local Olympic hopefuls abroad. He knows the backstories and the intricate differences between different kinds of biathlon races – something Peter had to learn on the fly while covering them – and thanks to Lou's teaching, Mike knows how to shoot photos of bobsleds and luges roaring down a track at interstate speed.
A year from now, Mike will be more than 5,000 miles away in the Caucasus Mountain resort town of Krasnaya Polyana, telling all of us all about our local competitors in biathlon, ski jumping, nordic combined, luge, bobsled and who knows what else. He'll do a fantastic job – so long as he learns enough Russian to feed himself and find the bathrooms.
Why does the local paper bother going to such lengths? The Associated Press would give thorough coverage to our local athletes if they win medals – e.g., Bill Demong and Andrew Weibrecht in 2010 – but not to the ones in the middle of the pack. We saw that in stark contrast between the winter games in Torino, Italy, in 2006, when we didn't send a reporter, and the ones in 2002 and 2010, when we did. Look at biathlon, for instance.
We're all from in and around Lake Placid, a place where the Winter Olympics may mean more than they do anywhere else in the world, and these Olympians Mike will cover are our neighbors and friends. They're working incredibly hard to make this quadrennial pinnacle. Local people follow them every step of the way in the pages of the Enterprise – all the way to Sochi.
So in addition to the Decker Scholarship folks, we must say "SPAH-see-boh" to our local Olympians and Olympic hopefuls who have devoted themselves to competing at the highest level in the world. Most people would think our small, rural area has no business sending so many athletes to every Winter Olympics, but this is a rare place, a special place where the crisp winter air tastes sweet and the Winter Olympic spirit burns especially bright. A place that can send 12 Olympians to a single games, as this area did to Vancouver, should send a reporter.
We're also absolutely grateful to our readers and advertisers. You keep this small, local Enterprise going and let us keep these jobs, doing what we love and giving you everything you want from a newspaper. We do it all for you, and we're glad you see value in the results.
We also think of Charlie Decker. A Saranac Lake native, he started writing for the Enterprise in the 1970s, became sports editor in 1979 and played a critical role in the 1980 Winter Olympics here in Lake Placid, putting in marathon days and nights to pull together the Daily Olympic Digest. He was called up the chain by Ogden Newspapers to work at two of our parent company's West Virginia papers, but then returned and became managing editor of the Enterprise in 1983. He left in 1986 to be state editor at the Watertown Daily Times, being promoted to assistant managing editor in 1989.
He was extraordinarily talented, and he was only 34 years old when he died of a stroke in 1991 in Watertown.
We think he'd be psyched to hear this news. We hope you are, too.

Issue Brief #3665 on Housing
July 13, 2012
July 13, 2012 | Issue Brief on Housing
The drive to force mortgage investors to refinance loans where the homeowner owes more than the house is currently worth (often know as underwater mortgages) is reaching absurd levels. In the latest example, California's San Bernardino County is exploring using eminent domain to seize certain mortgages and require the investors that own them to accept refinancing that reduces the amount of the mortgage.
Not only would this be a complete misuse of eminent domain,[1] raising substantial constitutional issues and the prospect of years-long litigation, but it would hurt the very people the proposal is supposed to help.
Seizing Mortgages
Eminent domain is usually used to take property that is in the way of a proposed road, government building, or similar project, and it is appropriately limited to appropriations for public use. Under the approach proposed by Cornell law professor Robert Hockett[2] and endorsed by Yale professor and New York Times columnist Robert Shiller,[3] the actual property would not be touched, but the mortgage itself that was used to finance its purchase would be seized. Then the mortgage owner (the lender) would be paid the current value of the mortgage as determined by a court-overseen process.
That value is certain to be less than the mortgage's original value, since the property is worth less than it was when the mortgage was first made. The county would then refinance the mortgage for the lower amount plus the cost of refinancing, leaving the homeowner with a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and owing less than the current (lower) value of the house.
Proponents argue that this procedure would enable more homeowners to remain in their houses, since those who owe more than the house is worth are most liable to end up in foreclosure. And by reducing foreclosures, they hope to stabilize neighborhoods, since a foreclosure is likely to result in reducing the property values of the homes around it.
The reality would be very different.
How to Destroy a Mortgage Market
By adding a new level of uncertainty about whether the mortgages will be repaid according to the original contract, future investors would see all mortgage-backed securities as riskier than before and demand that the underlying mortgages be written with even tighter credit standards and higher down payments. Potential homebuyers with lower credit ratings or lower incomes would find either that they cannot obtain a mortgage or that it would cost them more than it would have otherwise.
Potential homeowners in San Bernardino County would be especially affected. As 18 financial trade groups warned in a letter to county officials, "We expect that credit availability for home purchases and refinancing of all San Bernardino loans would be significantly compromised if this plan would be put into effect."[4]
Essentially, faced with the potential that mortgages that they invested in could be seized by county officials, some lenders would stop making mortgages in the county, and others would refuse to securitize mortgages from the area. The 43.4 percent of San Bernardino County homeowners whose mortgages are underwater[5] would find that they had fewer opportunities to sell their homes as mortgage lenders flee their communities.
Moreover, whatever its ultimate legal merits, the innovation is certainly to be challenged in the courts. Even if the mechanism were to pass judicial muster, it would be months or years before it could be actually used. These challenges would be further fueled because the San Bernardino County program would apply only to mortgages with payments that are up to date—not to any in which the homeowner has fallen behind. It would be harder for the county to say that those homeowners need government intervention since they have been able to make their payments on time.
Furthermore, just as with the many earlier attempts to cause mass refinancing of underwater mortgages,[6] the program appears to promise much more than it would actually deliver. San Bernardino County has an estimated 150,000 mortgages that are underwater.[7] However, county officials say that the program that the county is considering would apply to only about 20,000 to 30,000 of those mortgages,[8] at most 20 percent of the total.
As mentioned, the program would apply only to mortgages that are current, but in addition, it would only apply to mortgages that were securitized by private entities and not those securitized through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or mortgages insured by the FHA, which amount to only about 10 percent of the total outstanding nationwide.[9] In short, about 80 percent of the underwater mortgages in San Bernardino County would not qualify because they are either federally insured or because the homeowner is behind on mortgage payments.
Is the Need for Refinancing Passing?
Housing activists and government agencies have focused on refinancing underwater mortgages since mid-2007. While their focus was understandable in a weak mortgage market where housing prices were falling, there are now signs that the market is improving in many areas around the country. In the second quarter, asking prices increased in 84 of the largest 100 communities[10] with inventories tightening. Even Las Vegas, one of the hardest hit housing markets, is improving,[11] as are some cities in Arizona,[12] another area where housing prices were severely affected. While full recovery is still far off and could be derailed by another economic downturn, the situation is no longer as dire as it once was.
Given this, it is time to reconsider the need for mass refinancing programs, especially those that must rely upon extraordinary legal methods, such as questionable uses of eminent domain. The simple fact is that, no matter how supporters tried to bend the rules, most of these programs have actually helped only a relatively small number of borrowers. Even the Federal Housing Finance Agency has resisted mass refinancing and warned of the potential risk of doing so.[13]
Misguided Intervention
The growing recovery of the housing market and the rise in prices that will result from it is far more likely to assist underwater borrowers than any revised or new government program. Rather than raising hopes and expectations that a government effort can never meet, underwater borrowers will actually see their home prices gradually rise with those in the rest of their community. It is true that a full recovery to their home's former value may take years or never come, but this is better than government efforts that would never work in the first place.
Both Congress and government agencies have a long record of "solving" problems about the time that they go away on their own. Mass refinancing programs such as those proposed in San Bernardino County should be dropped.

Info needed
To the Journal editor:
Marquette Area Public Schools Community Enrichment classes are available in 2012-2013 thanks to efforts by this community to reinstate the program. A survey is available through Feb. 5 to indicate your requests for classes to be offered and the times you prefer.
Please go online to www.mapsnet.org, and on the left side of the home page, click on "Adult and Community Ed Classes" to take the survey or call Monica Noreen at 225-4372 for a paper copy.
You will recall that the MAPS Board attempted to eliminate almost the entire CE program last summer when few were watching. Through your signatures on a petition to the board, countless pleadings at board meetings, and eventually the administration's plan for costs to be revenue neutral, we convinced the board to extend Community Enrichment for one year.
The Marquette Regional History Center and the Marquette Arts and Culture Center stepped forward to partner with MAPS this semester to offer a few classes, and can do more with sufficient time to plan. I applaud their involvement. Other non-profit groups will follow.
Community Enrichment is one link that the ever-growing population of non-parents has with this district, and our need for life-long learning should be valued. If you do not respond to the survey, or sign up for classes, this school board will have one more excuse to cut Community Enrichment in June. Please, don't let that happen. Let your voice be heard now.

RIPLEY – By a margin of 20 votes, the residents of the Ripley School District voted to allow the Board of Education to enter into a contract with another New York state school district for the education of all Ripley students in grades seven through 12.
Voting on the proposition took place in the school's distance learning lab from noon through 8 p.m. Voters used the optical scan machine. Voting was supervised by Marie McCutcheon, district clerk. Those voting signed in and had to show identification.
Promptly at 8 p.m., McCutcheon announced that the polls were closed. The door to the learning lab was locked while officials ran the tape from the optical scan machine and counted absentee ballots.
Shortly thereafter, Robert Bentley, president of the Ripley Board of Education, came out with the results. He first read the proposition. Next he reported the results. Yes votes, which would allow the Board of Education to contract with another New York state school district for the education of students in grades seven through twelve, totaled 282. That number included 5 absentee ballots. Those opposing the idea numbered 262, which included 8 absentee ballots.
Bentley kept his comments brief. "Thank you to the community," he said. "We have a direction and we will move forward."
Board member Ted Rickenbrode was also present when the results were announced. He said he was happy with the outcome. "We've been trying since 1992 (to do something). It's a matter of numbers."
Asked when negotiations will begin, Superintendent Karen Krause said, "Right away. We will be reaching out."
Earlier that evening Krause spoke about the positive experiences that Ripley students who attend Chautauqua Lake have had. While the board is not limited to negotiating with Chautauqua Lake, this will be the first avenue explored.

Any HD audio nerds out there that can help me out?
Trying to play blu-ray movies on Sony Bravia HDTV via laptop via HDMI.
Video shows, but cannot hear audio.
I have tried it on a Hitachi HDTV and the audio works...
Been searching around the Settings of both the Bravia and laptop; nothing.
Thanks in advance.

Red Hair with Bangs
Women with darker complexion going for the natural red headed look really looks hot if done properly. We absolutely love this color on the beautiful model especially how the cut falls into beautiful layers leaving the bangs cut straight and falling so casually really gives this hairstyle such a cool and special vibe. A perfect cut and also color stepping into Fall season which we will probably be seeing a lot more this year. So ladies let us know what you think about this one by leaving your comments and thoughts below.
