The story of the unsolved murder of Dorothy Dexter Moormeister, a rich Salt Lake City doctor's wife and social gadfly, has been intriguing reporters and readers for more than 80 years.
As the murder was breathlessly reported by the Associated Press in The New York Times on Feb. 22, 1930:
"Crushed repeatedly beneath the wheels of her own automobile after she had been slain on a lonely country road near here, the body of Mrs. Dorothy Moormeister, wife of a Salt Lake physician, was found early today by a smelter worker returning from his night shift."
Now the case with the murdered woman transformed into the fictional character of Helen Kent Pfalzgraf, a mysterious wannabe actress provides the backdrop of City of Saints, a mystery by Andrew Hunt. Hunt, who was raised in Salt Lake City and received his Ph.D. from the University of Utah in 1997, is a history professor at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. (His father, E.K. Hunt, was an economics professor at five universities, including the U.)
Hunt, who has written nonfiction books about Vietnam veterans and the Chicago Seven revolutionary David Dellinger, stumbled upon reports of the Moormeister murder in newspaper archives. He was intrigued by the mystery surrounding the unsolved case.
During the murder investigation, detectives apparently learned that the 32-year-old Mrs. Moormeister had liaisons with multiple men, including a Utah mining promoter and a Persian prince, and was possibly seeking a divorce, while her respected husband, who performed abortions for rich women, looked the other way.
Hunt was surprised that he hadn't heard more about the Moormeister case in the years he lived and studied in Salt Lake City. "The appeal of that case, how many suspects there were, how it remained unsolved, how many twists and turns over a couple of months all of that was very appealing for a would-be mystery writer," Hunt said.
After earning tenure from his university, he felt freed up to take on writing projects outside his field. He plunged into writing a historical novel about the Moormeister murder but kept getting stumped by dead ends. "I couldn't see the thing being a true crime story," the writer said, as the facts of the case left too many unanswered questions.
After all, he faced a big, complicated narrative problem: This was a cold case, and 82 years later, all the principals were dead.
Hunt turned to fiction, resurrecting a character he had created previously: Art Oveson, a naive young Mormon lawman. Hunt had invented Oveson for an earlier novel that he had set aside. In City of Saints, he went on to thicken the plot by vilifying Oveson's boss, an on-the-take sheriff.
"I wanted Art to reflect the finest qualities in the best people I knew who were LDS," Hunt said. "I also wanted to start him young in his career, so over time he could evolve as a character and become more complicated."
From the Moormeister case, Hunt kept key details, like the date of the murder and the fact that the woman's bloody body had been run over multiple times by her own car, a 1929 Cadillac, before being discovered on Pole Line Road, near 2700 West and 3500 South in what is now West Valley City.
For the historian, the setting and time period were irresistible. In 1930, Salt Lake City was still anchored by its Mormon pioneer roots while moving toward modernity. "Salt Lake City was straddling these two different periods" between the 19th and 20th centuries, Hunt said. "That interested me the most, because you could see the tensions. If you started to read between the lines, dig deeply, there was a lot of stuff going on underneath the radar."
City of Saints, in manuscript, won the 2011 Tony Hillerman prize, which includes $10,000 and publication by St. Martin's Press.
Local readers are curious about a murder mystery based in Salt Lake City, said Anne Holman, of The King's English Bookshop, as well as the story's historically accurate details, such as Oveson regularly visiting the iconic Keeley's Ice Cream shop on Main Street, while the sheriff's deputy interviews Dr. Pfalzgraf in his office in the Brooks Arcade building on State Street.
The setting also serves to distinguish the mystery nationally, said Hunt's New York City-based agent, Steve Ross. "I think Salt Lake City is a perennial subject of interest to readers because it's such an anomaly, so seemingly distinct from other American cities and yet in other ways so similar," Ross said.
Few of the scores of murder mysteries published annually are based upon historical events, which can add a level of intrigue for readers. Ross went on to praise the quality of Hunt's writing, its authoritative plot structure, vivid characterizations and historical veracity.
Perhaps most significant, however, is what Ross terms the novel's "Blue Velvet" factor. "Just like in David Lynch's film," Ross said, "City of Saints takes the reader into the heart of what seems like a quintessentially clean, law-abiding, Middle-American city and drills deeper, down into the dark murk and mud that underlies the superficial surface."
A 'City of Saints' homecoming
P Andrew Hunt, a historian-turned-fiction writer, will read from his newly released City of Saints, which won the 2011 Tony Hillerman prize for best first mystery novel. The story is set in Salt Lake City in 1930.

The Freshman Symposium course wrapped up the 2012 semester with a Commissioning Ceremony on Nov 8. in Jones Hall. The freshman class came together to celebrate their successful completion of the Freshman Symposium course.
Five students were recognized for their outstanding Personal Success Projects, which they completed as part of the course. Freshmen Michael Hill, Luke Hebert, Kyna Hogan, John Loth and Brittany Jones created portfolios, poems, songs and written papers to reflect on what they learned about themselves, UST and their future professional and personal goals.
The students presented their projects to the freshman class during the ceremony and were given book awards, which ranged from $200 to $400, to go toward their textbook purchases in the spring semester.
Loth said he was nervous before giving his presentation, but after seeing how well his friends presented, he was encouraged.
"Once I got up there, I was pretty nervous but just kept going through my poem as best as I could," Loth said. "The course definitely helped me gain a greater knowledge about the University through our discussions, as well as establish good friendships and fun along the way."
Speakers included Dr. Dominic Aquila, vice president for Academic Affairs, the Rev. Ted Baenziger, assistant professor of French literature and civilization, Barrett Lauer, a UST senior and FS student mentor and the Rev. Mike Buentello, chaplain and director of Campus Ministry, who provided the freshman class blessing. About 200 students attended.
Dr. Ricardo Montelongo, director of the Office of Student Success, said FS reaches beyond the initial course.
"Freshman Symposium, through its goals to further connect students to the UST mission and liberal arts education, allows students to leave the course with a sense that they are part of an exciting community where learning is further developed and support is readily available," Montelongo said. "Students will find that their mentor teams will always be available to assist them with these goals, despite the completion of the course. If anything, students find that they can and should ask for help, both in and out of the classroom."
The Symposium course is a program that introduces students to the University by focusing on St. Thomas' mission to educate leaders who can think critically, communicate effectively, lead ethically and succeed professionally.

Finding a doctor is hard. Unlike a lot of services today, you can't just hop on the internet and do a search for a doctor near you and get reviews like you might for a restaurant. Finding a good doctor is still very much a word of mouth endeavor. Your friends recommmend so and so, or your mother recommmends someone else. How do you sort it all out? Well, there are places on the internet that are trying to change that. One of them is Everyday Health.
Everyday Health brings you the ability to find doctors, dentists, specialists, hospitals, healthcare providers, mental health professionals by state, city. They've built a search engine that lets you search for doctors close to where you live in a variety of fields (general practitioner, specialist, dentist, etc.).
Did I mention it is easy to use? Just type in your zip code or city and state, then set the range of miles that you want them to be within and the type of physician you are looking for from the drop down boxes and click the green Show Results button. Have a pre-existing condition or need a certain type of specialist? Well you can search by condition instead! However, you chose to search a list of physicians will be presented and you can click on their name to learn about their practice, what specialties they are certified for, what hospitals they are affiliated with, and see other patient's reviews of their practice.
Do you have a great physician? Well then, why don't you spread the word by writing them a review? When you use the search engine you can fill it out with the all the information plus your physician's name and when you find them on list click the Review This Health Professional link to write a review of your experience with them.
I think that over time this is a trend that will really take off, because people are more likely to trust services that have been reviewed by their peers.

MV palaeontologist Tom Rich, along with colleagues Roger Benson, Patricia Vickers-Rich, and Mike Hall, today published a review of all the theropod dinosaurs known from early Cretaceous period deposits in southern Australia. In doing so, they present the first complete snapshot of local theropod diversity around 120-105 million years ago.
Theropods are a group of mostly carnivorous dinosaurs that walked on two legs and had three-toed feet. Included among the theropods are the infamous T.rex, the small and agile Deinonychus, the feathered Archaeopteryx and modern birds. Tom and his colleagues have been pulling theropod fossils out of Victoria's coastline deposits since the 1970s and in this review, they considered 37 bones and over 90 individual teeth. They conclude that the local Cretaceous theropod fauna comprised nine major groups (or taxa), including allosauroids, tyrannosauroids, spinosauroids and the recently-discovered ceratosaur.
Some of the fossils reviewed in this examination of southern therapod diversity. These are large theropod manual phalanges, or bones from the 'hands' of these dinosaurs.Source: Benson et al.
A summary cladogram (evolutionary tree) of the therapod dinosaurs, showing the relationships between the major groups within the suborder Therapoda.Source: Benson et al.
Like the unique fauna of Australia living today, our prehistoric fauna was distinctive too, with some groups dominating the fossil record and others seemingly absent. In the past, palaeontologists have considered several explanations why the types of dinosaurs that lived in Australia were so different to the types found in other continents, even our nearby Gondwanan neighbours. Did certain groups evolve in other continents after Gondwana had split up, so those groups never dispersed to Australia? Or were there patterns of regional extinctions reflecting the differences in climate between the continents as they drifted apart?
As more fossils are uncovered and studied, the picture gets a little clearer. It now appears that many high-level dinosaur taxa, such as the tyrannosauroids and allosauroids, emereged earlier than previously estimated and were distributed all over the world during the Jurassic. This suggests they've been missing from Australian records simply because our dinosaur fauna is poorly known. The Australian fossil record is patchy – whether it's because the fossils have not been preserved or simply not discovered or properly interpreted yet – and often only one or two bones represent an entire group of animals.
However the isolation of Gondwana and Australia from the rest of the world, and the unique conditions here, did help shape a unique assemblage at the species level. During the early Cretaceous, Australia was still attached to Antarctica and was much closer to the South Pole than it is now. Earth's climate was much warmer, the poles were free of icecaps and Victoria and Antarctica were covered in lush, ferny temperate forests. Long periods of winter darkness and extended summer daylight influenced the evolution of endemic dinosaurs whereas in other parts of the world, their distant relatives were contending with quite different environments.

The possibility remains that some dinosaurs, such as the long-necked quadrupedal sauropods, which were present in Queensland but have not been found in Victoria, could not survive in cool, dark Cretaceous southern Australia and and so they did not enter this area.

Thursday/Friday Roundup
Here's what I learned from around the blogosphere today and yesterday:
Tyli'a "NaNa Boo" Mack and another unidentified woman were stabbed in a vicious trans misogynistic hate crime only two blocks from DC Transgender Health Empowerment. Mack may have been targeted for refusing to be silenced in the face of oppression. To compound the tragedy, these women were hatefully degendered or had their gender erased by identifying the victims as "transgender males" in initial coverage of the attacks by Fox and NBC (both stories, which I will not link, have been changed without any kind of note of the correction).* There is a vigil tomorrow for the loss of these brave women. Coverage from Jos at Feministing, in which she is kind enough to link my post on Janey Kay, is here.
August 28 is a memorable day in civil rights history for many reasons. Allison McCarthy connects the death of Emmet Till, the "I Have A Dream" speech, and Obama's nomination last year on Global Comment.
Great conversation over at Laura's space on whether or not a man can be a feminist.
Renee covers scooter accessibility at Womanist Musings.
You all have probably heard about how Ted Kennedy was an "LBGT" advocate. Via TransGriot comes this piece explaining why the "T" part of that isn't valid.
I'm in a LTR, and this piece comparing the baby and wedding industry articulated a lot of my fears about my future with my partner.
Chally talks about her mother's struggle to have folks recognize it when she changed her name back. I'm very proud to have the McCarthy part of my name come from my mother following Lucy Stone's example, and we often had to hang up the phone on folks who called looking for Mrs. James.
Want some lemonade? 25 cents if you're a skinny able-bodied white cis straight man! $5 if you're a fat trans disabled woman of color!
meloukhia ponders the merits of photographed graffiti.
Cara covers another disgusting example of how rape victims are further victimized.
Ann at Feministing reviews a book on tallness. I'm 5'10.5 myself, and I loved it.
Monica covers the story of model Tenika Watson and how she was out-ed as a trans woman.
Blackkittenroar responds to commands to comb her hair.
Ruth Moss admits her fantasy of being thin.
*I apologize for participating in this degendering by referring to Mack and the other woman as "trans men" on Twitter. No matter my intentions, disrespecting and disregarding these women's identity is unacceptable. I should have been more skeptical of news media in reporting it to my Twitter followers. Thanks to Lucy and voz for setting me straight. For some instruction from voz on how to react to coverage of trans violence in the media, please see my retweets (hers are protected) here, here, and here.

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: Warblers apparently like 'grilled' food, too
STACEY COLE | August 16. 2013 9:00PM
They inquired if this "reasoned" behavior would be passed on and become "instinctive" behavior in succeeding generations of this sparrow. I could not offer an answer and turned to our readers for their thoughts.
During the fall and spring migratory periods in New Hampshire readers should always be looking for a prothonotary warbler. However, in checking with Rebecca Suomala, longtime biologist and Managing Editor of NH Audubon's "Bird Record" publication, there have been only five known records of the appearance of a prothonotary warbler in New Hampshire.
"We have become accustomed to being greeted by hummingbirds when they arrive in the spring. This consists of their hovering for several seconds about a foot away from one's face. About three years ago one of us was on the step ladder painting the inside of a screened building when the hummingbirds arrived. Two came inside the building (the screens were down) and performed the usual greeting ritual. This year the greeting occurred when one of us was leaning out of a second story window. There is usually a similar farewell ritual when the birds are ready to move south.
What an interesting description of bird behavior! I must confess, I've never heard anything quite the equal to it. We thank our Bradford readers for sharing their experience with us.

Hi fellow teachers!:)
I am preparing an adult student for Cambridge PET. At first this pupil wanted to prepare for FCE which is such a high level in comparison. I had to "inform" this student that she was not ready for this exam, to her disgust. I told her to consider PET instead, either that or she risk doing several FCE exams, failing miserably and probably being 600e+ poorer! I finally convinced her to forget the FCE for now and instead we are doing PET tests etc.
Well this student is really demanding, not just to herself, but to me as a teacher and to be honest it is starting to really get on my nerves! Bigtime! I correct her homework every lesson, she questions every single, daft, obvious error, why this, why that? when I have already higlighted the error and why. Then I give her homework, but she overdoes it and does extra on top of what I give so more work for me to do! I have alot to mark, but she doesn´t seem satisfied. She seems to doubt all that I have corrected thus making me think why do I even bother?
She has complained about previous teachers in the past and will prob do the same when we are done! She moans about Cambridge Uni´s style with PET and takes my marking as a personal attack. My question is why doesn´t she just "study?" Her level is just not that great. Her errors, her grammar etc? She doesn´t accept her errors and questions how I correct. It´s sooooo draining! I even told her yest I am drained. I am a complete teacher and she is lucky to have me what with my exp and qualifications! Seriously considering of getting rid. There is no way I can help her prepare FCE with that attitude. I don´t want to appear to be mean but she is OTT! Help!

This came about when I started doing a few lead generation campaigns for my website, I noticed that contact form provided by Base didn't do two important things:
1. Allow me to record a goal completion in Google Analytics
2. Provide any details over where the lead came from, other than via my website, when adding the deal into Base CRM.
3. Allow me to encourage email signups
This meant, essentially, that I couldn't attribute any leads or customer value to any particular marketing campaign/source/medium. On top of this I couldn't encourage email subscription. so I decided to commission a WordPress plugin.
I found Woody (a developer) on Peopleperhour.com, I knew how specific my requirements were so I was very particular about who I hired after having bad experiences with freelancers on Odesk in the past.
Woody did a great job, he runs a company called Stormgate and as you can see he specialises in rapid web development (he finished my plugin in less than 24 hours)!
So I told Woody what I wanted and he got down to work creating my brand new contact form.
Essentially this contact form directly posts the lead into Base, including all the necessary details, as well as the Google Analytics source and medium.
The Google Analytics bit ensures that you can choose a page to redirect to, which can then be tracked as a goal, so that you can keep an eye on things in Google Analytics separately from Base.
Finally it has a tick box that allows the person contacting you to signup to your email newsletter hosted by MailChimp.
I don't think there are many things out there that do all this, and if you are using Base CRM I highly recommend you try out this plugin.
If you would like to download my plugin you can do so here.

O.K. you're not walking onto the movie with that costume, but... a cereal box! That is awesome work! Way to go.
That looks better than most of the store bought Halloween costumes. Good job.
For a cereal box that's not bad. Better than I could do at scratchbuilding (and I've tried). Pretty soon you'll start your downward spiral of obsession and upgrades and the rest will be history.
Well, when I do Boba for real I'll be going as hard core as I can. Thanks for the compliments!
Take the next step: For Sale signs! They cut easily, bend with a little bit of heat, super glue works wonders as an adhesive on them and they can be sanded & painted easily. Plus, they are cheap and readily available. If you need it thicker in some parts, add a second layer. I did. .
Keep at it. I'm sure a lot of us would like to see what you do with For Sale signs, or you could use trash cans for the body armor. BTW, trash cans don't glue to anything, though.
Good luck!
not true, if you use goop you can glue trashcans to your hands ^.^ lmao ive never had probs with glueing trashcans
Wow I've seen better but that is an amazing result from a cereal box! next time I have cereal for breakfast I'm gonna be thinking "I could have made armour from this" instead of "This needs more milk"!
That's great!!! Awesome work vode!!!
You know for armor that is made out of a cereal box that is pretty **** good (and excuse my language LOL). I am thinking of using cereal box's to add the overall gloss and shinnyness to my armor when I make it out of cardbord. Overall great job. Most impressive as I may say. And mandalorian guy thats funny. I'll remember that as well with the cereal box. Its truly amazing in what you can make out of stuff around the house LOL!
****. i was expecting something like the white bucket stormtroopers.
but thats pretty **** good for a quick whip up cereal box boba!

there seems to be a co-relation between brachycephaly (bull dog type) and mesaticephalic (Labrador retriever) and hip problems.
there is a cephalic index , brachy, Mesati and dolicocephalic (collie)
Dog Skull Shapes | MetroSniff
Mesocephalic Labrador Retriever
A mesaticephalic skull is of intermediate length and width. Mesaticephalic skulls are not markedly brachycephalic or dolichocephalic. When dealing with animals, especially dogs, the more appropriate and commonly used term is not 'mesocephalic', but rather 'mesaticephalic', which is a ratio of head to nasal cavity. The breeds below exemplify this category.[6][7]
Interesting article Carmen.
HD is a complex issue. I would have never guessed that the number two breed for. HD according to the OFA, pugs, small breed, Number two bull dogs.
Even mutts can get HD. I'm helping a friend with a smallish pittie mix, probably could put a level on her back, no slope, square frame and she's got bi lateral HD and ACL issues.
Click link for list GSDs are number 40
Orthopedic Foundation for Animals
.....and you can do a forum search on terms like 'top line' and 'sloping back'. You will find many discussions with lots of information.
It's good that you are asking rather then drawing conclusions without research.
It's unfortunate that there is a lot of myths surrounding the different lines....but be aware they are out there.
and on that note I recommend you visit iceberg breeders http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...-breeders.html
the back and other structural drawings Linda Shaw http://www.shawlein.com/2012/the-back-spine-part-1/
First...get off the internet.
Second...go to a working dog club and see.
Third...drop the "slanted back" thing. It gets so tiring. You should know that a straight back/slanted back isn't always a way to tell apart a working dog from a show dog. There are much bigger signs that should be focused on rather than the slant of the back.
A GSD back shouldn't be parallel to the ground anyways. There should be slope to it because of the angulation in the back end. Now, how extreme that slope is, that's up to the breeder and who ever is interpreting the standard. A slanted back has NOTHING to do with the quality of the hip joint. Just look at your dog and imagine how you would lower the back end...it would have nothing to do with the hip joint. HD is how the ball fits into the socket...the angle at which that happens does not affect that "fit" what so ever.
All large breeds have HD. It's genetics, and we don't completely understand it quite yet. I have a friend who went to a "reputable breeder" and got a dog out of a dam and sire that were both rated normal/excellent. His dog ended up with HD. I went to a "BYB" and ended up with a dog that has a normal/normal rating. Do BYB dogs have a higher instance of HD? Who knows? People buying from BYB aren't generally getting their dog's hips rated...so the statistics are actually mostly based off of show dogs and trialing dogs...which generally come from "reputable breeders."
Blaming genetic issues with the breed on BYB is extremely overreaching. Plenty of good breeders do things that can easily be questioned. Not many breeders out there have had 10+ litters without one instance of a genetic disease or issue cropping up. It just depends on what they do after they see that.
The reason you see working line people have problems with show lines is that they don't have the temperament to work. It has very little to do with their look and more to do with the fact that the GSD is a working breed, and there are a lot of show lines that just can't work.
the breed is not dying out - no problems with availability.
what is dying out is the conservation of particular heritage groups , and particular working instincts and drives
hip dysplasia is a complex issue.
published in Das Schaferhund Magazin --- which , very article I read this morning - talk about timing ! authored by Mike Guillard MA VetMB CertSAO MRCVS , in German the title was Die abfallende Ruckenlinie . Ist sie schadlich ?
Here it is in full with translation . Â*Sloping topline. Is it detrimental?
working GSD in Ireland I can't comment on , but there are a few that I know in the UK . You can reference this forum link http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...kinglines.html
Is there many good working lines around still?
It's a subject I don't know about and the media has led me to believe that the breed is dying out because of all these problems back yard breeders and the like have created.
Is there always going to be good pedigrees out there and generally speaking, do they suffer from the same health issues that are normally applied to the breed such as hip dysplasia for example?
Seeing as I am asking a question in this sub-forum I might ask another one that I have in my mind, and that is regarding show lines with the slanted backs.
Firstly, I am not a fan of these and prefer the look and the abilities of a working line (mine is a straight back). I'm not sure if "working line" would be considered the same as "straight back" in professional terms?
My question is: "Are the haters of the showlines really basing their opinions on factual data, when they talk about genetic problems with inbreeding and the slanted backs causing the dogs to suffer from hip issues in higher proportion to the straight backs?

Gary Shaw, Washougal Class of 1959 is in the process of authoring a set of 6 books, titled The Eric English Chronicles, set in and around the Camas-Washougal area from the early 1960's through the present. I have attached a file that he sent me prefacing information about the books as well as introducing and relating a little about the main characters.... Also included is an outline of the happenings in the 19th Chapter of Book 1 intended for the publishers. It is not the chapter itself. Here now is the author. Click on the orange to open.
Dick Schaefer (WHS '55) has written a new book that he has published on Amazon. Its' title is The Final Conflict, and a download to your Kindle is available for $4.99. If you do not have a Kindle, a free Kindle application is available for downloading to your PC that will allow you read the book on it. Simply click on this link to get to Dick's book: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AJB3SD6
Here is a brief synopsis of the book.
A small town man is thrust into 11 days of conflict over Christmas of 1972, against the best air defense structure ever faced by strategic bombers to achieve President Nixon's "Peace with Honor" exit strategy against North Viet Nam.
This is the Viet Nam "12 O'Clock High" told from the standpoint of the crew force flying the mission: telling the TRUE story----not the written history documented in the archives of the Strategic Air Command.
Dick informs me that his earlier book Mill Town is still available by mail for $15 including shipping from his address. Scroll down to the bottom of this main page for more information.

Is anyone excited? What are your favorite events? Are you worried about doping? Discuss...
Variatio delectat - Cicero
Normally, I really look forward to it, but with all the pre-Olympic publicity about smog and the lack of openness of the Chinese government, I am not nearly as into it as I have been in the past.
That'll probably wear off- to me even a smattering of the Olympic spirit takes me back to my youth when I entertained hopes of one day becoming an Olympic swimmer. Of course, I didn't know back then that I was probably ranked about 42,456,888th in the 8 and under 50 meter freestyle, but that's why the Olympics are important. They engage the dreams of the world youth.
Favorite events: Swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming and swimming.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
Trampoline is now an Olympic sport. That actually might be entertaining. Team synchronized Bungee jumping can't be far behind.
Track and swimming are my two favorites, but I really dig some of the out-of-the-spotlight events like wrestling, weight lifting, badminton, cycling, volleyball (indoor and beach), rowing and water polo.
My hope is the games are great and the Chinese government winds up with egg all over its face.
Why not Tromp?
I'm hoping for some sort of riot.
If this were the Winter Games this would be an easy question. My hands-down favorite winter sport is curling. I love me some curling action.
I'll pretty much watch any event, it's the pinnacle of sport.
Nothing beats speed walking, I hope NBC gives it enough coverage this year.
Go Gators!

Applies to: Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7
Everyone enjoys a good list. Lists are everywhere—lists for popular songs, best- and worst-dressed celebrities, top vacation destinations, and so on. Our list is a bit more humble (if not a bit geeky). We are Microsoft, after all.
Our list focuses on the Windows 8.1 operating system and the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP). It specifically describes 10 pains that IT pros endure and how MDOP can help reduce them. If you're not already familiar with MDOP, this list provides a good introduction. However, you can also learn more about it on Microsoft TechNet.
Essentially, MDOP is a collection of the six products that Figure 1 describes that can help virtualize the user experience, applications, and desktop; manage features within Windows; and restore user productivity after a system issue. Like a Swiss Army knife, it solves many problems and can simplify your life as an IT pro.
Figure 1. Products in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack
In this article:
Our first pain is here, because it's fresh: Roaming user profiles between the Windows 7 operating system and Windows 8.1 are not supported. (See
Incompatibility between Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 roaming user profiles.) In addition, roaming user profiles don't work between session-based and full desktops.
So, what can you do? Use Microsoft User Experience Virtualization (UE-V), the latest addition to MDOP, to solve these problems by providing a consistent user experience across platforms and delivery methods. It synchronizes Windows settings when users log on to or off of their desktop, when they lock or unlock their desktop, and when they start or stop a Remote Desktop connection. UE-V synchronizes application settings when they open or close the application. UE-V can keep users' experiences in sync even when they're using multiple desktops at the same time, without them having to log off of their desktops to do it.
Combining UE-V with the Folder Redirection and Offline Files features in Windows 8.1 provides a complete roaming experience. Folder Redirection stores users' files and documents on the network to make them available on any device users have. To help ensure that their files and settings are available even when users disconnect from the network, Offline Files caches redirected folders and the UE-V settings store locally, synchronizing them when users reconnect.
Aside from everything UE-V offers, IT pros needs to know two things about UE-V. First, deploying UE-V is simple:
The second key thing is that UE-V is customizable. You can create custom settings location templates, which define where UE-V will find the settings and files that it should synchronize, by using the UE-V Generator. You can also create a network share in which to store the custom settings location templates and update your policy to point the UE-V agent to it.
That's it! See Microsoft User Experience Virtualization for more information about using UE-V.

Arguably, one of the most painful steps of deployment is testing and remediating applications. Regression testing consumes an inordinate amount of time. Fixing any discovered compatibility issues requires an uncommon skillset that is difficult to learn and sometimes requires outside help.
Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) can help address this challenge. It isolates applications so that they see only their own virtual environments. Users change files and settings only in those virtual environments rather than changing the host desktop's files or settings. As a result, applications do not affect the operating system or other applications. For that matter, you never actually install virtual applications on the desktop: Rather, you stream them from the network and cache them, so the operating system remains pristine. Updating these applications is simple, and removing them does not interrupt users. Think of App-V as the equivalent of running each application in its own sandbox. The application can do whatever it wants within its own sandbox, but it cannot play with sand in other sandboxes—unless given explicit permission. It cannot throw sand out of the sandbox, either.
To be clear, App-V does not address application incompatibility with the operating system. For that, you must still rely on tools such as the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit. You can learn more about the toolkit in the Application Compatibility Toolkit Technical Reference on TechNet.
Because App-V isolates applications in their own virtual environments, it can significantly reduce the need for regression testing to identify conflicts between applications. As a result, App-V reduces the need to remediate application conflicts. In fact, many companies report that they skip these steps altogether and go directly to packaging (or sequencing) applications, which is like recording the installation to a file that the administrator can stream over the network. It's easy.
How about a practical example? Contoso Ltd. has an accounting application that it is upgrading. Both versions cannot coexist on the same desktop, but accounting needs access to the previous version until it can close the previous year's books. Such problems might block deployment for mere mortals. But with App-V, the accounting staff can easily run both versions of the application side by side, maintaining access to the legacy version until the department closes the previous year's books.
See Application Virtualization on TechNet for more information.

Packaging applications for automated deployment and configuration is often one of the most time-consuming, difficult, and expensive part of any deployment. And how do you get the right applications to the right users on all of the right devices?
Two common choices are to include applications in monolithic Windows images or distribute them by using ESD systems. Including applications in Windows images usually leads to a high image count and a maintenance nightmare. The story for ESD systems like System Center Configuration Manager is much better these days, particularly because System Center Configuration Manager can target applications to users. But still, ESD systems are installing these applications locally, so the applications don't follow users from device to device easily.
Through the years, these processes have served us well. But what if you could save time by more easily targeting applications to users and enabling those applications to follow users to each device they use? Would your job be easier and less repetitive if you could keep applications out of your Windows images? If you want to make application distribution less frustrating and make more time available for other tasks, then take a closer App-V.
With App-V, you can strike a balance between the control you need and the flexibility users need. App-V untangles applications from the operating system—that is, you package each application separately, and App-V provides it as a network service, isolating it from the operating system and other applications. However, you can also connect individually packaged App-V applications and configure them to communicate with each other. This flexibility gives businesses the best of both worlds, providing isolation to reduce application conflicts and time spent regression testing, yet allowing applications to interact and communicate when needed.
After you sequence an application, publish it on the server, and assign the appropriate rights, the application is immediately available for users. They can launch the application without waiting for it to be installed, because App-V streams the application on demand to each device they use. In other words, App-V enables applications to follow users from device to device, similar to how UE-V enables users' experiences to follow them. In fact, App-V plus UE-V (and Folder Redirection with Offline Files) is destined to be a classic better-together story.
Imagine the impact on not just application delivery but on the deployment process as a whole. Suddenly, getting down to the mythical single image becomes a real possibility. You deploy a single Windows image, and when users log on to their desktops, App-V delivers the applications they need. Because App-V does not actually install applications on the desktop, it can reduce the support time associated with applications. You simply do not have to troubleshoot or reinstall applications. Not only that, but App-V enables entirely new deployment scenarios in which applications follow users.
See Microsoft Application Virtualization on TechNet for more information.

Managing and controlling Group Policy is our fourth pain point. Simply put, the problem is that any change a Group Policy administrator makes affects the production environment immediately. There is no review process, no approval process. In addition, Group Policy does not maintain any sort of history for each Group Policy object (GPO), making it difficult to know who changed what and when. You can more precisely express this pain as "cleaning up someone else's mess."
Microsoft Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) can reduce this pain by providing accountability and an auditable history. AGPM adds change management, or version control, to Group Policy. You use AGPM in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), as shown in Figure 2. To edit a GPO, you check it out of the archive (offline storage for GPOs), change it, and check it back in to the archive. This process works like any other version-control system, such as document libraries in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. Change control also keeps a history of changes for each GPO, so you can compare different versions to show added, changed, or deleted settings. You can even see who made each change and when they made it.
Figure 2. Advanced Group Policy Management in the Group Policy Management Console
Building on its change-control features, AGPM provides a robust delegation model to Group Policy. It enables you to define a workflow that works well for your organization by assigning GPO administrators to one of three roles: Reviewer, Editor, or Approver. Reviewers can view and compare GPOs but cannot edit or deploy them. Editors can edit GPOs in the archive but cannot deploy them to production. Approvers can approve GPO creation and deployment to production. After an Editor changes a GPO and requests deployment, an Approver reviews the GPO and approves deployment.
You can assign the Approver role to an individual or panel of administrators, with the remaining administrators assigned to the Editor role. An alternative is to assign the Editor and Approver roles for each individual GPO. For example, you can assign the Approver role for each GPO to the department heads within its scope. The point is that role-based delegation in AGPM is extremely flexible, allowing you to create a workflow that works for you.
AGPM is one of those tools that is difficult to get excited about until you actually use it. Then, you cannot imagine Group Policy without it. It can help you get things done more quickly and with less frustration. And it can help dissipate the fog that surrounds GPOs in fast-changing environments.
To learn more about AGPM, see Advanced Group Policy Management on TechNet.
Back to top
Our fifth pain point also deals with Group Policy, and the obvious relief is AGPM. We call out this pain separate from the previous one, because we frequently hear IT pros lamenting about the time they changed a GPO and the help desk made them wish they had not come to work that day.
AGPM features that the previous section described can help prevent errant changes from occurring in the first place. First, any changes that Editors make to a GPO happen in the archive, not in production. They can edit to their heart's content, but they will not touch production. Only after an Approver permits deployment does a GPO affect production, and hopefully the Approver is paying attention.
Second, change control in AGPM makes it simple to recover from errant changes that do creep into production—maybe the Approver was not paying attention after all. In that case, change control can help you quickly identify specific changes that might be causing the problem. After identifying the GPO containing the offending changes, you can quickly roll back to a previous version of the GPO. By the end of the next Group Policy refresh interval (by default, 90 minutes), the problem should be resolved.
AGPM has a particular feature that is useful if you run a tight ship and want to be sure about a GPO before deploying it: cross-forest management. You can copy a GPO from a domain in one forest to a domain in a different forest, and then deploy it. Using cross-forest management, you can edit and thoroughly test GPOs in an isolated lab environment. When you are satisfied with the results, you can easily copy the GPOs to production and deploy them.
To learn more about AGPM, see Advanced Group Policy Management on TechNet.

Sixth on our list of IT pro pain points is supporting BitLocker Drive Encryption in large enterprises, where provisioning and managing compliance can sometimes be challenging. BitLocker provides full-volume encryption to help protect corporate data while Windows is offline. There is nothing particularly painful about BitLocker itself, especially in Windows 8.1, which enhances BitLocker in significant ways. (See article "
BitLocker Overview" on TechNet for more information.)
What can be painful is supporting BitLocker after deployment. First, users cannot manage their own PINs if they aren't administrators on their devices. Second, BitLocker Recovery Mode invariably leads to a help desk call to recover users' devices.
Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) can eliminate this pain. By using MBAM, which Figure 3 shows, you can centrally provision and configure BitLocker, gain insight into users' compliance with your company's encryption policies, and—most important to this pain—enable users to support themselves. First, MBAM allows users to perform basic tasks without calling the help desk. For example, they can reset their PINs without requiring administrator privileges. Second, MBAM provides a self-service portal that mere users can use to look up their own recovery passwords, avoiding the help desk call.
Figure 3. Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring
See Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring on TechNet for more information.
Back to top
Monitoring BitLocker compliance is another pain point that MBAM can help reduce. BitLocker does not provide a way to know which desktops are compliant with an organization's BitLocker policies. It is like flying in bad weather without instrumentation. You just don't know which desktops are compliant and which are not. To drive this point home, imagine a scenario in which a mobile PC is lost or stolen. Can you quickly determine your organization's risk by looking up whether the desktop was compliant?
MBAM addresses this pain point by providing BitLocker compliance reports in the box. You can view the compliance status of the entire organization or an individual desktop. These reports tell you how many desktops are compliant, how many are not compliant, and the details for individual desktops. In the event that a mobile PC is lost or stolen, you can look it up to determine whether it was compliant with BitLocker policy. You are not left in fear of the worst, because you know the risk almost immediately.
You can now integrate MBAM with System Center Configuration Manager. Doing so moves the compliance pieces of MBAM to System Center Configuration Manager, which means you can use a single pane of glass for compliance reporting and don't need to jump among applications to get an enterprise-wide understanding of users' compliance with its BitLocker policies.
See Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring on TechNet for more information.
Back to top
Troubleshooting unresponsive or unbootable desktops is our eighth IT pro pain point. Troubleshooting can be time-consuming and often does not lead to a solution. Contributing to such considerations, IT pros usually have to visit users' desks to troubleshoot their desktops, and they have limited experience with their tools, because they use those tools so infrequently.
Many IT pros simply reimage troubled desktops. So, in organizations that are not using UE-V and Folder Redirection, the user loses settings and any data stored on the local drive.
The Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (DaRT) can relieve this pain. DaRT is a collection of 14 tools for troubleshooting typical problems (see Figure 4). For example, you can use the Crash Analyzer to figure out why a computer fails to start. Then, you can disable the device driver or service that's causing the problem. You can also recover deleted files; explore the desktop's event log, file system, or registry; remove hotfixes; and so on. DaRT is one of those tools you hope never to use, but it's good to have in your toolbox when you need it.
Figure 4. Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset
To learn more about DaRT, see Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset.

Spyware, viruses, and malware are more advanced than they were in the old days, and they're using technologies like bootkits and rootkits to load themselves into memory and remain hidden from most forms of detection. Removing these kits and other types of malware is our ninth pain point.
But first, let's acknowledge that the nastiest of malware—bootkits and rootkits—are extremely difficult to contract on Windows 8.1–certified devices. Windows 8.1 introduces a completely new boot architecture that starts with the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). UEFI and its Secure Boot feature protect the system from bootkits that might attempt to tamper with the device's firmware or even the operating-system bootloader. After Windows 8.1 starts, the Trusted Boot feature will protect the remainder of the system's boot process and any antimalware solutions that are designed to meet the Windows 8.1 Early Load Anti-Malware (ELAM) requirements. (Meeting these requirements will enable the antimalware driver to start before any non-Microsoft drivers and applications.) Collectively this gives Windows 8.1 the protection that it needs to help eliminate bootkits and rootkits from the landscape.
But let's just say that a desktop does get infected with a nasty bit of malware. Although real-time malware scanners are an effective and critical part of your infrastructure, malware can still slip through the cracks. Also, many malware engines have a hard time effectively removing rootkits, which often leaves you with few options short of rebuilding the computer. As a result, it's important to have an in-depth defense strategy.
Windows Defender Offline, one of the tools that DaRT provides, should be a part of that strategy. Starting the computer by using the DaRT recovery image leaves the infected operating system offline. With the installed operating system offline, Windows Defender Offline can scan all of the machine's files and folders without the rootkit or malware code hiding. With the malware thus clearly visible, Windows Defender Offline can remove it. Without Windows Defender Offline, many people would have no other option than to reimage the computer.
To learn more about DaRT, see Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset.
Back to top
Number 10 on our list of pains for IT pros will hit home with many of you: management tool overload. We have tools for everything these days, and each tool includes at least one console that we must use. Sometimes, just getting a single task done can mean opening several consoles or user interfaces. Although we can't consolidate all of your tools, we can help integrate some of the MDOP tools we discussed in this article with your existing management infrastructure.
For example, both App-V and MBAM integrate with System Center Configuration Manager so you can use the same tools to manage virtual applications and BitLocker compliance that you use to manage other aspects of the machine. You can deploy DaRT recovery images to local hard drives by using System Center Configuration Manager. Of course, you can deploy any of the agents that MDOP uses by using System Center Configuration Manager. You also use AGPM to manage Group Policy by using the one tool. Instead of a separate console, AGPM simply extends the GPMC.
Back to top
That's it. MDOP is like a Swiss Army knife for tackling IT pro pain. If you're considering Microsoft Software Assurance or a platform Enterprise Agreement for your organization, make sure you add MDOP to the package. If you have Software Assurance in your organization already but don't know whether you own MDOP, check with your purchasing department to find out if you are already licensed to deploy it.

Selling your home requires the kind of attention to detail that helps prospective buyers envision the space as their own. This is where home staging comes in, helping to make any home look like new and reflect care, quality and cleanliness.
Take a subjective look at your home's interior and exterior. What do you notice first? Everyday clutter or the home's best features? Make a list of what needs to be cleared away, cleaned up, repaired and repainted.
Edit furnishings
Along with clearing away everyday clutter and stowing family photos and personal effects, trim down furnishings for the kind of just-right balance and scale that would suit Goldilocks. There needs to be enough in place to suggest proper scale and capacity within each room, but not so much that traffic flow is hindered and architectural elements are obscured.
Neutralize interiors
Make sure your home staging work includes a neutral paint job. Create a backdrop for buyer imagination by replacing patterned wall coverings with off-white paint, and install low-grade tan wall-to-wall carpet.
Clean, clean, clean
Ensure that every inch of your home sparkles for a fresh, welcoming appearance, from ceiling cobweb hideaways to windows to floors. Also address and banish odors resulting from pets, cooking, smoking and the like.
Tune up the details
Repair or replace inoperable hardware, touch up interior trim, and make sure all light fixtures are clean and loaded with brand-new bulbs to makes sure there's plenty of light available to show off your newly staged home.
Re-accessorize with care
Limit wall decorations to fewer and larger pieces of artwork, and include a couple of strategically placed mirrors to expand the space and reflect its best assets. When introducing display pieces to a room, use the rule of threes to create attractive, uncluttered groupings, and add a few well-placed plants for welcome vitality.
Spend time in the garage
Home staging is just as important in the garage as prospective home buyers will be visiting that space as well. Clear away corner cobwebs, sweep floors, dust surfaces and pack up any straggling tools and project materials.
Create curb appeal
Lush landscaping is one of your home's best exterior assets, and according to the Professional Landcare Network, it can add as much as 15 percent to the property value. So get out the mower, fertilize all turf and plantings, weed diligently and add seasonal color to flower beds.
Build a grand entry
Touch up exterior trim, clean windows and repair loose or damaged shutters, supply light fixtures with new bulbs, polish front door hardware and address numbers, roll out a new doormat, and add a few pots of colorful blooms on the front porch.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 15
i put hundreds into the distro before i opened. i don't know how much...close to a grand, probably, over the course of six months before i opened the catalogue. it took about two years to fully make it all back & get into the black. it spent another two years oscillating on the cusp of breaking even & losing small amounts of money. now it breaks even & sustains itself financially. it still has rough patches, where maybe orders are not covering all the money i'd like to have for ordering new zines, but it usually picks back up again.
i do think that my distro is an anomaly in terms of how much money i sank into it to start (i opened with about forty items & now am up to about 140), & the fact that it breaks even at all, maybe? i don't know. maybe other distro people don't keep such careful financial records. running a distro can be really expensive to start, & yeah, there are things you can do to make it cheaper (accept donations, open with a small catalogue, see if someone will donate your web hosting, start out with just tabling until you have a nest egg built up to sustain mail order, etc), but it all depends on what your priorities are. literally every extra cent i had was going into the distro when i first started. i even borrowed money to get it off the ground. it all worked out in the end, but it requires a lot of perserverance, & organization.

Michelle & Ali
May 12
Ft. Worth, Texas
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
The gardens set the perfect picture for our day. They provided seclusion away from the busy city, and the staff at Weston Gardens made you feel like the space was your own.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
My favorite details from the wedding had to of been moments. The moment before the wedding began, while the ladies were getting dolled up, my mother and aunt put my late grandfather's work shirts on to make sure he was remembered on my day. The moment when my father looked at me at the top of the hill right before we started walking down and said, "Are you ready?" This brings tears to my eyes just typing it on a screen. The final moment that was my favorite was when my brother gave his speech. His words will forever touch my soul.
3.. Give us the one moment from your wedding that you cannot stop thinking about.
When my husband and I were exchanging our vows, and we both mentioned the dreaded yellow socks. I knew at that moment we will be together forever.

1154 LILL Studio: Custom Handbags
I love to play at 1154 Lill Studio website just as much as I love to shop there – and now with their new virtual handbag builder, it makes it that much more fun! My absolute favorite is the Jeanne – completely reversible, you get two bags for the price of one while selecting four custom fabrics to make it uniquely your own {this is one of the few bags they have yet to upgrade to the new virtual building system – but it's still my favorite!}. Though others are using this concept - Lill has been keeping it unique and fresh sinse 1998 - the are the innovators.
Etsy has everything, from modern to vintage in art, jewelry, clothing etc. I can spend hours browsing the links and shops of individual designers and entrepreneurs. I receive inspiration each time I visit.

10 hard truths IT must learn to accept
In a perfect world, your network would suffer no downtime and be locked down tight. You'd be in perfect compliance with all government regulations, and your users would all be self-supporting. The cloud would take care of nearly all your infrastructure needs, and there wouldn't be a single device accessing the network you didn't first approve of and control.
Also: You'd finally get the respect and admiration you truly deserve.
Good luck with all that. The gap between your dreams and cold hard reality just gets wider every day. That doesn't mean you should give up, but it does mean you need to get real about what you can change and what you must accept.
Here are 10 things IT must learn to live with.

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." -- Old proverb
A beautiful picture of our new open space school in Kampong Thom province.
We firmly believe that providing an education to impoverished children worldwide will have the most meaningful, long-term return on investment. As a result, we are currently involved in different educational projects in Cambodia. Our long-term goal is to figure out the most efficient and least expensive method to offer a solid education to children, and then expand it to all other needy children the world over.
Worldwide, iHerb's charitable donations in 2015 totaled $971,772. This included the building of two new schools in Cambodia, as well as the promotion of children's education through the Cambodian Children's Fund and New Hope Cambodia. In the past, we've also made donations to events such as earthquake relief in Haiti and famine relief in Somalia.

What they need to work on is a non bootrom exploit that will work on All ios versions, future and past, that is critical in ios that cannot be patched by apple. it does not have to be a bootrom exploit because that only will work on some devices. They need to exploit something that is critical to ios that cannot be removed or changed.
Yes, the injection method is the hardest part. Last time around we had video proof of a 5.1.1 untether right around Thanksgiving of 2011. We didn't get the public untether until 1/20/2012. We've had no video proof of ANY untether for iOS 6 on A6 (though many say we can take Planetbeing at his word).. So the public untether is still a LOOOONG way away, gang.
Jailbreaking is indeed becoming something that's dying out. In the early days we had jailbreaks writhing a few 'weeks' of iOS update releases. Those days are gone forever and not coming back. Apple has 'beaten' us on that front and getting the last word on the topic. They don't want JB - period. They will never change their view on that because Jailbroken phones can't assure stability. Rooted Android phones are riddled with stability issues. Not even in the same league with a JB'en iPhone much less a stock iPhone which is rock stable. I got an iPhone 5 to 'try it out'.. I do like it - but I have a SIM adaptor now and the majority of the time my SIM is in my JB 4S. The stock iPhone OS is just boring as hell.
Can someone please explain in a clear way what is initial injection?
Most likely they are using a method to exploit the vulnerability that isn't a method that can be used as a public release. Once they have a way up inject code to exploit the vulnerability we have a public jailbreak.
This is how I understand it anyway. Haha
There's a lengthy article from TechCrunch that explains the current jailbreak status. It's not 100% accurate, but it gives a good enough idea of where we're at: Behind The Scenes Of The iPhone 5 Jailbreak | TechCrunch
I can't wait for a jailbreak it sucks not having to be free!

It seems that there are alot of non-duck grillers in here. Allow me to impart my culinary expertise.
Take two ducks and breast em'. Clip the wings for your dog and save the tail feathers for your cap.
Pound the breasts with a mallet like they did something to your mother.
Marinade breats overnight in any Allegro product...I like the hot stuff.
Take breast out and lay one slice of pepper-jack and one slice of green or red pepper, fold over, wrap in bacon, secure with tooth-picks and grill on medium heat. You want to go for rare to medium rare....around 5 to 6 minutes per side. If you over-cook to well done take out the tooth-picks and give it to yer dog.
I think I got this recipe in here, but here goes. Hands down the easiest.
Toss two goose breast in a crock-pot, one can of coke and one can of cream of mushroom soup. Do this in the morning and it will be prime when you get home from work. Serve on a bed of rice. Edible goose, believe it or not.

Tulowitzki named Rookie of the Month
Tulowitzki named Rookie of the Month
Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki parlayed his career month at the plate into a National League Rookie of the Month Award, announced Tuesday. The 22-year-old recorded a career-high 12-game hitting streak stretching from Aug. 16-27 and had multiple hits in 11 games over the month. "He has been a welcome addition to our ballclub," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. "He has done more than many of us anticipated: He's played both sides of the ball extremely well, been a fierce competitor, doesn't make mistakes twice and plays to win.
Tulowitzki led NL rookies with 40 hits, including eight doubles, and 25 RBIs in August. He notched four hits in three separate games. The month propelled Tulowitzki's name forward in the NL Rookie of the Year race, a race his manager thinks he can win. "He's my hands-down Rookie of the Year," Hurdle said. "There are some other candidates, but for me, he is the guy." Milwaukee's Ryan Braun is a strong candidate for the award, but Braun did not start seeing action until late May, whereas Tulowitzki was an Opening Day starter for the Rockies. Tulowitzki is batting .288 on the season with 75 RBIs and 18 home runs. Braun, Atlanta's Yunel Escobar, Arizona's Mark Reynolds and Micah Owings, Philadelphia's J.D. Durbin, Cincinnati's Norris Hopper and Jared Burton and Houston's Mark McLemore all received votes. Tulowitzki will receive a specially designed trophy to commemorate his performance.

At barely 5 feet tall, Teri is a giant on the stage. Her quick lyrics and catchy hip-hop melodies are meant to completely captivate, but Dave Bartlett, the humble, slow-to-speak roadblock between Teri and the next round, might surprise everyone with a soulful performance of his own.
Rick Steves SpecialA Symphonic Journey | Saturday, 8 p.m.
Rick Steves, America's leading authority on European travel, teams up with the Cascade Symphony Orchestra and maestro Michael Miropolsky for a musical journey that begins in the United States, and touches down in seven different European countries. The special, taped at the Edmonds Center for the Arts near Seattle, Wash., celebrates music's power to stir the patriotic soul. Playing musical tour guide, Steves utilizes his extensive knowledge of European history and culture to help set the context for each piece. Then, the orchestra performs a selection of stirring 19th-century anthems by Romantic-era composers, including Grieg, Smetana, Strauss, Berlioz, Elgar, Wagner and Verdi. Each selection honors a particular nationality, while the finale, Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" (Europe's official anthem) pays homage to the continent's motto of "United in Diversity." The music is accompanied by a montage of evocative video images from each country.

EarthcasterSunday | 8 p.m.
EARTHCASTER documents Thomas Sayre?s evolution as an artist, and follows Sayre and his crew as they build two of his signature massive earthen sculptures. Working out of a repurposed warehouse in Raleigh, N.C, the internationally known sculptor and designer has been creating public art installations for decades in sites around the world. From Thailand to Turkey and in a number of U.S. cities -- including Baltimore, Charlotte, Denver, Nashville, Portland, Raleigh, Tucson, and his hometown of Washington, D.C. -- Sayre has been commissioned to reflect the distinctive identity and history of each place. Through a process he calls "earthcasting," Sayre explores the differences between forms made by nature and those made by humans. Using heavy equipment to dig complex molds in the earth, the artist then pours in colored concrete that echoes the hue of the native soil. Once the concrete cures, the sculptures are lifted by crane to stand in bold relief against the sky and landscape. Interviews with colleagues, friends, family members, and everyday citizens who encounter Sayre's work daily, address the value and significance of public art in the chaos of the digital age, and what his work reveals about ourselves, our communities and our planet.
Victorian Slum HouseThe 1860s | Sunday, 9 p.m.
The series, which features modern-day people recreating 19th-century life in London's East End, begins with the participants moving into an 1860s tenement that includes sparse rooms, a shared water pump and outdoor privies. They seek to make a living by matchbox making, wood turning and the rag trade, work once done by their impoverished forebears.
Notice to WEIU Viewers with DirecTV Service
We're reaching out to you today because of an urgent issue that is impacting your ability to view WEIU programs. DirecTV has recently relocated one of its satellite receivers to an AT&T building in Decatur, which was formerly located in Springfield.
Normally, this would not be an issue, as Decatur is still in our market as defined by the FCC. However, WEIU signals do not reach this location in Decatur with the minimum quality required by the DirecTV.
As a result, DirecTV has dropped WEIU from its satellite carriage — and viewers who have previously been able to receive our unique programming like Being Well, City Spotlight, The Paw Report, NewsWatch can now no longer watch these programs at home.
As part of a must-carry agreement, DirecTV is required to fund any expenses we would incur in providing them our signal if this relocation happened before a normal renewal cycle (which it has) ... unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be happening.
This is why we need your help. Please reach out to DirecTV and request that it carries WEIU — let them know how important it is for this channel to come back in your viewing area. Please call DirecTV at 1-855-802-3473 and let them know that WEIU is an educational programming asset in your community and you can't afford to lose it.

Jack Neal - General Manager
When Did You Start at WEIU? 2010
Favorite Show on WEIU-TV: This is a tough one! I'm a fan of everything we do both on the air as well as in the world of education. But truth be told, my favorites are locally produced programs. Heartland Highways gives me a chance to see some of the many amazing places in this wonderful area we call home. I've seen places on Heartland Highways that lifelong east central Illinois residents didn't know existed...and then made the short drive to see those places up close and personal myself. And I've learned so much about some of the most interesting people who are our neighbors.
Another of my top three would be Four Rivers Ag Report. Though I'm not a farmer, I live on a working farm and see the daily ag activity that drives our area. No matter what we do, we are a part of agriculture. And I find that fascinating. The things I've learned about our farm community as a result of Four Rivers are pretty amazing. And as much as Four Rivers Ag Report focuses on the farmers in our area, it does just as good a job of celebrating our rural lifestyle.
Last but not least is News Watch. There is nowhere else to find the kind of coverage News Watch provides our area. Even in a world of 24/7 online and cable/satellite news services, I find News Watch the only place to watch and learn what's happening in OUR community. It's unique.
What have you learned while working at WEIU? This could be a chapter in itself!In my case, I came to WEIU after working in public broadcasting for decades.I'd worked for many stations in many parts of the country. My fascination with WEIU was two-fold: The fact that WEIU is MORE than a PBS station, and the opportunity to live in this incredible community. Being a part of a non-commercial TV station that goes so far beyond programming what most PBS stations provide has allowed me to learn an amazing number of new things about our world. And being in the east central Illinois community has taught me just how special and unique this place is. I've learned that what may appear on the outside to be an unchanging environment becomes a wealth of different sights, sounds and experiences with the march of the seasons, the constantly varying weather and the beautiful lighting variations of each passing day.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? WEIU is certainly not like most TV stations. We're obviously nothing like a commercial TV station which is funded by commercials based on the number of people watching each program. Yet, we're also different than most non-commercial TV stations, as well ... both in what we air and who we aim to serve. And that's important to me. As I've seen more of the media universe surround us with an array of programs, news, shopping channels and pretty much anything you could imagine, I still find WEIU the ONLY place where I can learn about MY neighbors and MY community. I know such a service is not going to be supported by other communities or by commercial sponsors. I frankly wouldn't expect it to be. So I find it important to support that service that serves me and the people who are my neighbors. It seems to be part of the American way of taking care of those things that are important to us. At least that's how I see it!
WEIU is very important to me and I hope to you, as well.
Is WEIU as important to you as it is to Jack? Become a member today! Also, send us a message and let us know what WEIU means to you!
We love to hear from you!
I love you all! You're on in every room of the building. DON"T CHANGE ... you're PERFECT, #1.
