Frequently Asked Questions about Periodicals
Why hasn't yesterday's Los Angeles Times been put out on the newspaper sticks yet?
Only the Eureka Times-Standard and the San Francisco Chronicle are delivered by carrier; because of the cost, all other newspaper subscriptions are sent 4th class mail. This means that often papers are received 3 to 5, and sometimes more, days after the date of publication. Periodical unit staff try to put newspapers out for display within a few hours of receipt in the mail. If you have a question about whether a newspaper issue has been received, ask at the Periodical & Media Assistance window.
Why isn't the current issue of Newsweek ever on the Current Display?
Periodicals on the Current Display are heavily used. Periodical unit staff reshelve issues 2 times a day, and issues of most titles return to the display at least once in 24 hours. If you have a question about a particular title, ask at the Periodical & Media Assistance window.
How long does it take for a new issue of a periodical to be put out? I've noticed that the date on the cover is sometimes weeks or months earlier than the date that the issue gets to the shelves.
The answer to this question varies, depending on the periodical title. If the title is behind publication schedule, the date the publisher puts on an issue's cover might be months or (occasionally) years earlier than the date the issue was actually published. The time it takes for 4th class mail to be delivered to Humboldt County is also a factor. Periodical unit staff try to shelve new issues of Current Display titles within 1 day of receipt in the Library, and to have new issues of all other titles shelved within 3 days of receipt. If you have a question about receipt of a particular issue, ask at the Periodical & Media Assistance window.
I've been looking for 2007 issues of a periodical I need for the last week, and they're never there. How long does it take for issues to to reshelved?
If you can't find an issue or issues of a periodical, you can always ask at the Periodical & Media Assistance window for help. If you are in the Library at a time when the window is closed, go to the Circulation Desk, first floor, to see if the issues have been checked out. In addition, be sure to search the title in the "Journal & Newspaper Finder" on the Library's web page: there is often electronic fulltext in one of the databases the Library subscribes to. Older issues might be available in microfilm or microfiche format, so double check the Library Catalog to see exactly what should be physically in the Library, and where. Finally, you can fill out a Search/Hold card at the Circulation Desk; this initiates the process of Library staff searching for, and possibly replacing, missing issues.

History in the Big West
UCSB is the most prolific program in Big West Tournament history with a 44-14 record and a .759 winning percentage. No other Big West team of past or present holds as strong a winning percentage in tournament play. With that success, UCSB became accustomed to cutting down nets, as the program have captured the conference crown a record 14 times. The team has also had a record 40 all-tournament selections.
Smile for the Camera!
For the first time in Big West history, ESPN 3 will be featuring all of the women's basketball tournament games through the semifinals. The live coverage will start on Tuesday night when the Gauchos open tournament play with UC Davis. Saturday's championship game will be carried by Fox Sports Prime Ticket.
UCSB Offense
Over the course of the regular season, UCSB has had its highest scoring offense in the Carlene Mitchell era. With a 64.5 point per game average, the Gauchos easily bested their previous season averages of 51.3 (2012-13) and 53.2 (2011-12). The team has been led by its senior class, as all three have averaged double figures scoring this season.
Rise of Watkins
Since her 10-point, 15-rebound performance at Cal State Fullerton, Clair Watkins has averaged a near double-double with 10 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. In that span, she complimented her initial double-double at Titan Gym by capturing a creer-high 16 points and 10 boards against Cal Poly. In that game, Watkins hit a career-best eight shots off 17 attempts. Prior to this stretch, she averaged just 4.8 points and 4.8 rebounds.
Zornig Reaches Career-High
Behind her 28-point performance at Hawai'i, Melissa Zornig hit a new career-best for points scored in a single game. Her previous personal-best was 24 points, in which she drained 5-of-9 three-pointers, but Zornig did most of her scoring against the Rainbow Wahine in the paint. Overall, the senior went 11-of-20 from the field (both career-highs) and made just one shot from downtown.
From the Outside
After not attempting a three-point shot against Cal State Fullerton, Melissa Zornig has since hit seven three-pointers, including a 4-for-t performance against UC Irvine. The senior is second in the Big West with her 49.3 percent three-point shooting percentage in conference play. She is also eighth in triples made (35) and has netted a career-high 49 threes this season. The Coto de Caza, Calif. native even had a streak of eight games in which she hit two or more three-pointers.
Walk the Line
Aside from her performance at the three-point line, Zornig has also found success at the free throw line. She is third among Big West players with a 85.5 percent shooting clip and has reached the foul line 69 times (third most on the team). Overall, UCSB owns a 72.8 percent shooting percentage at the charity stripe, which ranks second in the league. Freshman Onome Jemerigbe has been to the foul line more than any other Gaucho (97).
Hold and Control
The Gauchos are second in the league in averaging 13.6 turnovers per game. In the past four games, Santa Barbara has committed more than 12 turnovers on just one occassion. The Gauchos have also shown a knack for forcing the opposition in giving up possessions. UCSB has forced its opponents into 15.9 turnovers a game, which ranks fourth in the Big West.
Margin of Victory
Though UCSB has only three Big West victories under its belt, the team won those contests by a convincing average of 11.3 points. In those victories, the Gauchos averaged 44.5 percent from the field, which is four marks higher than its average in league play. UCSB has lost three conference games in which they scored 64 or more points. In the nonconference schedule, Santa Barbara won its matchups with Division I programs by an average margin of five points.
Board Game
For UCSB, rebounding has made all the difference between games won and games lost. During the Gauchos' eight wins, they have averaged 39.9 rebounds per game, while they only pull down an average of 32.1 in their losses. UCSB's 41-rebound performance against UC Irvine was the only game it lost after pulling down 40 or more boards. Against UC Riverside, the team collected a season-high 55 rebounds, which is the most since Nov. 20, 2010 when the team pulled down 59 against Idaho.
Senior Leadership
The three Gaucho seniors have led the team in most major categories this season. In fact, the trio makes up the roster's top-three leaders in minutes, field goals, three-pointers, and points. The seniors make up nearly 64 percent of UCSB's total points this season, as they all rank among the Big West's top-20 in points per game.
Zornig Joins 1,000-Point Club
Melissa Zornig's 17 point-performance at Cal State Fullerton stamped her ticket into the UCSB's 1000-point club. She is just the 26th Gaucho to hit the milestone and the second to do it this year. Nicole Nesbit joined netted career 1000 on Dec. 19 against Utah State and has since become the program's 17th all-time leading scorer with 1,229 points. The last time two or more Gauchos joined the 1,000-point club in the same year was in the 1998-99 season when Erin Buescher, Stacey Clinesmith, and Kristi Rohr accomplished the feat.

Pizza Boy Review
Touch screen controls are rarely on par with the precision offered by tactile gamepads. Platformer games, because they require such precision, are especially likely to suffer this problem on the iPhone. Well, developer Acne Play has managed to craft remarkably near-perfect controls for their new game Pizza Boy. Even though it may be a short game, we enjoyed every second we had with it.
You play as a square-bearded delivery man version of Mario who must retrieve a pizza pie stolen from him by a devious bird. This quest will take you across 12 levels set in different parts of the city. You'll need to run, jump, and throw soda bottles at enemies in order to get back the stolen pizza.
Hey, no sleeping on the job!
The levels of Pizza Boy are designed with just the right amount of difficulty that they require an increasing amount of skill but are always beatable. Unfortunately, the game only lasts about 45 minutes.
And when you complete Pizza Boy, there is almost no reason to go back and play it again, unless you're bent on beating your own personal scores. There are no leaderboards, so you can't compete against anyone else. On the plus side, the game sports an attractive pixel art style and an upbeat chiptune soundtrack.
Despite its length issue, Pizza Boy is one of the better iPhone platformers out there. If you've tackled Soosiz and are hungry for more head-stomping, be sure to check it out.

Profiles in courage?
I always knew our Massachusetts Congressional Delegation was weak, but clearly they are bunch of jellyfish (no backbone).
In today's paper Casey Ross lists who is with Hillary and Barack and who is uncommitted in the Democrat Primary. Senator Kennedy, Senator Kerry, Congressman Capuano, Congressman Markey, Congressman Tierney, Congresswoman Tsongas, and Congressman Olver have all failed to endorse a candidate. What are they waiting for? Obviously a victor so they can say -- I was always with you.
I think the most outrageous uncommitted person has to be newly elected Congresswoman Tsongas. She basically campaigned on her husband's name and the gender card. It is hard to believe that she is not supporting the woman candidate for President. Maybe she is offended with Hillary's finance guy going to jail. Yeah right.
Massachusetts does have a few outstanding "profiles in courage" type officials who should be recognized. They are on the Republican side of the aisle. State Representative Paul Loscocco, former Governor Jane Swift, and former Republican Party Chairwoman Jean Inman head up the McCain campaign for President in Massachusetts. It is difficult to go against a former Governor and they have certainly taken a lot of heat for their active participation in the McCain campaign. Congratulations on the New Hampshire victory.
I should also mention that several of our Republican State Senators along with former Governor Paul Cellucci, former State Treasurer Joe Malone, and former Republican Chairman Jim Rappaport have endorsed Giuliani.Good luck in Florida!
Overall to be a Republican elected official in Massachusetts qualifies you to be a profile in courage in my book.

Minster controls second half, downs Fort Loramie
MINSTER — Despite a slow start in the first half, Minster put up a dominant second-half performance to defeat Ft. Loramie 26-5 in the season opener on Friday night.
"I'm just so proud of our kids right now. You want to talk about adversity, overcoming it and looking momentum in the face and staying up to it — that's a great football team we played; they're going to win a lot of football games this year," said Minster head coach Nate Moore. "We had four turnovers in the first half against a great football team and we were still in it. I'm just so proud of our kids right now. They had every opportunity to pack it in and they fought through it. I'm just so proud of them."
While Minster left the field with a great feeling following the big win, Loramie, naturally did not.
"Our kids' effort was there. It was (that) Minster executed better than we did and that's the bottom line and that's what I'm most disappointed about," said Ft. Loramie head coach Matt Burgbacher. "That's what I'm most disappointed is with our offense. We didn't take care of the opportunities we had. Minster forced us to do some things we really didn't want to do and you (have) to give their kids credit."
Things began poorly for the Wildcats, who received the opening kick-off, as quarterback Adam Niemeyer fumbled after being hit in the backfield on third and long.
The fumble was recovered by Garrett Eilerman and the Redskins took over from Minster's 28 yard-line. After driving down to the Minster 10 yard-line, Loramie's offense stalled and they settled for a 22-yard field goal by Tyler Zeis.
The Redskins led 3-0 with 8:01 remaining in the first quarter.
Minster punted the ball back to the Redskins less than two minutes later, but Loramie running back Cory Brandewie soon fumbled. The ball was recovered by Minster's Ryan Hoying, setting the Wildcats up near the Loramie 40 yard-line.
Minster soon capitalized on the turnover as Troy Kauffman scored on a 33-yard touchdown run on third down and two. Kicker Devon Poeppelman missed the extra point, but Minster still led 6-3 with 2:54 remaining in the first quarter.
Minster's next possession opened with a 25-yard run by Kauffman that was negated by a holding penalty. Minster rebounded and drove down to the Loramie 33-yardl-ine. The drive ended on third and three when Niemeyer's pass was intercepted by Cory Brandewie in the endzone.
Loramie took over at the Minster 20 yard-line. After gaining several first downs, Loramie was forced to punt after quarterback Ryan Humphreys was sacked by Devon Poeppelman on third and long.
Niemeyer soon threw another interception, this time from the 36 yard-line. The pick was run back to the 4 yard-line by the Redskins' Jake Cordonnier.
Loramie was pushed back to the 9 yard-line on an illegal substitution penalty before their first offensive play following the pick. Minster's defense held their ground, forcing fourth and short.
Instead of trying the field goal, Loramie elected to run on fourth and goal from the 2 yard-line. Minster stopped the runner and took over the ball.
On Minster's first play after the turnover-on-downs, Kauffmann was wrapped up in the endzone. The safety trimmed Minster's lead to one as the Cats still led 6-5 with 4:29 remaining in the first half.
After a methodical drive down to Loramie's 21 yard-line on Minster's next possession, Niemeyer's troubles continued as he threw an interception to Zeis with 54 seconds remaining in the half.
"We've got to stop throwing interceptions. I think the problem was this, we have a very good quarterback and he was trying to a little bit too much," said Moore. "He was trying to squeeze into windows that he shouldn't have been trying to squeeze into."
Loramie took over at its own 1-yard-line and ran out the clock. Minster led 6-5 at the half.
"What we told them (at halftime) was very simple, 'we're doing a good job in lots of things. We just (have to quit doing what we're screwing up, mainly putting the ball on the ground and throwing picks," said Moore. "We felt like the defense was playing really well. We thought the offense was close, minus the turnovers."
On Minster's first possession of the secondhalf, running back Korey Schultz followed up a first down run on third and three with a 45-yard romp to the Loramie 23 yard-line.
Kauffmann converted a fourth-and-short run to give the Wildcats a new set of downs at the 13 yard-line. Kauffmann followed this up with a 13-yard touchdown run.
On Minster's next possession, Daniel Gushing opened the fourth quarter with a 33-yard gain off a direct snap to the Minster 23 yard-line. Gushing then drove for a first down on third and 8. After exchanging penalties with Loramie, Minster started from the 'Skins 11 yard-line. Schulz then scored on a 3-yard touchdown run on fourth and two. Poeppelman hit the extra point and Minster led 19-5 with 6:43 remaining in the game.
Moore credited the offensive line with giving his running backs confidence throughout the game.
"I thought our backs ran real well tonight, other than the fumble. We ran hard," said Moore. The funny thing is, we expected that out of Troy Kauffmann," said Moore. "Korey Schultz, man, I didn't know he could run that hard. You want to talk about the heart of some of the kids we've got, it's unbelievable."
Ft. Loramie's next possession resulted in a 4th and 24 punt from their own 6-yardline. Things soon got much worse for the Redskins.
On the first play of Minster's next possession, Kauffmann took the ball 37 yards to the house, effectively icing the game for the Wildcats. After another successful extra point by Poeppelman, Minster led 26-5 with 4:39 remaining.
In addition to holding the Redskins to just five points, Minster outgained Loramie 367 to 64 yards overall, including just 58 yards on the ground.
"They just played lights out. … Very impressive effort by our defense," said Moore.
Despite the tough loss, Burgbacher plans to prepare for next week's game just like he did for this week's.
"The effort was there, now we just need to execute. We need to take care of the opportunities that are given to us," said Burgbacher. … "We're going to have to learn from it; we're going to have to move on. We still (have) nine games; we still (have) nine, one-game seasons. That's the thing, I want it to tear us apart right now, but tomorrow we're going to start putting it back together and get ready for next week."
Although Minster won big, Moore knows there is still room for improvement.
"I think we can get a lot better. The old saying is, you'll never improve as much as you do between week one and week two. I think we can do that too," said Moore.
On Friday night, Minster will travel to Lehman Catholic, while Ft. Loramie will host New Bremen.
Minster 6 0 6 14 — 26
Fort Loramie 3 2 0 0 — 5

Concerts @ RIT
Ever since I was younger, I have always had a passion for music. I have been a band geek since I was in elementary school and have played in the concert band at RIT. But if there is one thing I love, it is live music. In high school, if my friends wanted to go see a small concert, they would always ask for me to come along. It does not bother me if I don't know every song of the artist, I just like the atmosphere.
RIT has hosted a variety of major concerts for the students, faculty and community to attend. During my first two years at RIT, I attended performances by Cartel, Yung Joc, OAR, Girl Talk, Maroon 5, 3Oh!3 and Snoop Dogg. Some other past performers include Sum 41, 50 Cent, Rihanna, Jack's Mannequin, Ben's Fold, Taking Back Sunday, Three Days Grace, and Jason Mraz to name a few.
RIT students receive a discount on the major concert events that take place on the RIT campus with their student ID. For some major events, student can actually purchase up to 4 tickets at the discounted price, which I personally found beneficial for when my sister and friends came to visit to see a performance. The tickets for the events at RIT can be purchased at the RIT box office, located in the Gordon Field House and Activities Center.
If you are not into the major concerts, there are also smaller performing groups that take place in the venues around RIT. I remember attending performances by the Eastman School of Music Orchestra, as well as other Jazz Bands and Folk performers. I know student organizations and performers also take place regularly throughout the year.
When I was looking at schools, I remember fearing the lack of music at some of the schools I visited. I now know that music is a strong part of the RIT campus life, making the campus and even better match for me.
Cartel Fall 2008
OAR Spring 2009
Maroon 5 Fall 2009

Dust 514 is the first free-to-play first-person shooter for any console. It ties directly into CCP's massively multiplayer PC game Eve Online, where players pilot ships and conduct trade within intricate, player-driven economies. CCP's goal is a gradual cross-platform melding between MMO and FPS players through Dust and Eve, as Eve pilots can contract Dust mercenaries to take control of resource-rich planets for financial gain. Dust 514 first open beta event occurs on June 28 for PS3 owners.
Over 100,000 registrants have signed up so far for the game's upcoming beta weekends.

PPP Between ESA and Astrium Advances Plans for European Data Relay System
A public–private partnership (PPP) contract signed with Astrium means that the European Space Agency (ESA) is moving ahead with an independent, European satellite system that will speed up the transmission of large quantities of data beginning in 2014. The PPP for the European Data Relay System (EDRS) demonstrates ESA's capability to pull together resources and knowhow from several partners under an efficient and operational scheme.
The PPP approach allows industry to take on a greater risk in order for Europe to reap the benefits of advanced satellite technology. Under the terms of the agreement, the partners will jointly finance the EDRS with ESA's contract with Astrium amounting to €275 M.
Astrium has the overall responsibility for designing and developing the complete space and ground infrastructure. The company will then acquire ownership of EDRS and is committed to its operation for the next 15 years. Initial users for EDRS will be the Sentinel 1 and Sentinel 2 satellites of the GMES Global Monitoring for Environment and Security programme, the EU's ambitious Earth observation programme, headed by the European Commission in partnership with ESA and the European Environment Agency.
The EDRS system will consist of two payloads carried by satellites in geostationary orbit. User data will be transmitted via dedicated terminals from satellites in lower orbits to either of the EDRS nodes and then relayed to the ground. The first of the two EDRS nodes will be launched in late 2014. The second will be launched in late 2015 on a dedicated satellite built by OHB (DE) that will use the Small GEO platform.
"The EDRS programme is another prime example of a public–private partnership," said Magali Vaissiere, ESA Director of Telecommunications and Integrated Applications. "EDRS is a big step forward in how low-orbit satellites and future unmanned aerial vehicles can be used, to the benefit of Europe's citizens and economy."

Little Mike, a six-time
graded stakes winner and victor of the 2012 Breeders' Cup Turf Classic is
getting ready for the Grade 1 $500,000 United Nations Stakes, says Carlo
Vaccarezza breeder of Little Mike, who runs under the colors of his wife
Priscilla. Little Mike is coming off of a trip to Dubai where he competed in
two Group 1 events at Meydan Racecourse, finishing 8th in the Al Maktoum
Challenge R3 (March 9) and 11th in the Dubai Duty Free (March 30).
"He didn't like the Tapeta too much in the first race,"
said Vaccarezza. "In the second race he sprained his ankle. We got him back to
the barn and his ankle was like a watermelon. We gave him some time to heal and
he's looking good. We breezed him at Churchill (June 11) and he is feeling
himself again."
Little Mike breezed four furlongs over Churchill's turf
course in :50 4/5 on June 11, and breezed five furlongs in 1:02 2/5 along the
main track on June 19.
A 6-year-old gelding by Spanish Steps out of the Wavering
Wench dam Hay Jude, Little Mike has won 12 of 23 career races, good for
$3,074,412 in lifetime earnings, and Vaccarezza believes that Little Mike can
increase that number in the UN, which is set for a mile and three eighths on
the turf at Monmouth on Saturday, July 6.
"He really likes Monmouth," said Vaccarezza. "He won a
few races on the turf earlier in his career over there so it should be an easy
transition for him. It's a really prestigious race, the UN. I used to watch it
growing up in New York
every year so we really want this one for Mike and for his fans."
Jockey Joel Rosario will ride Little Mike in this year's
62nd renewal of the United Nations Stakes.

Most of the dust has settled on the 38 Studios collapse. Looking back, co-founder and public face of the company Curt Schilling has shared some thoughts on what went wrong. For one thing, when the company started to go into dire straits, Schilling says he was "tapped out" and couldn't afford to put any more into it.
"I put everything in my name in this company," Schiling told a WEEI radio show, reported by Boston.com. He says he doesn't want sympathy, but stressed how much he cared about the company. "I believed in it. I believed in what we built. I never took a penny in salary. I never took a penny for anything." He says he told his family that "the money I saved and earned playing baseball was probably all gone. Life is going to be different."
He says the company was concerned from day one about raising capital. "We tried for a long time to do that, and it didn't come to fruition," he said. "The one thing we always listed as a going concern we couldn't execute on." The company did have one last chance at the end, according to Schilling. An unnamed investor was willing to write a check for $15-20 million, on the condition that Rhode Island agreed to give $6 million in tax credits. "If that happened, he would come in and save the company," said Schilling. But Rhode Island refused.
The real impact came to the studio workers, though. "The employees got blindsided," Schilling said. "They have every right to be upset. I always told everybody if something were going to happen, you're going to have a month or two of lead time, and I bombed on that one in epic fashion."

But while middle-class parents increasingly trade in standard names like Karen and Joseph for fancier ones like Madison and Caleb, movie stars seem compelled to push the baby naming further. The names may be merely distinctive (say, Maddox, Angelina Jolie's Cambodian-born adopted son) or bizarre, like Makena'lei Gordon, Helen Hunt's daughter, inspired by a place name in Hawaii. Celebrities may not so subtly be saying that for them ordinary rules need not apply.Which celebrity started it? Frank Zappa?
If celebrities are the new American aristocracy, the exotic baby name can sometimes function as the equivalent of a royal title, a way for a privileged caste to bestow the power of its legacy on future generations.
"There's a sense of 'I'm special, I'm different, and therefore my child is special and different,' " said Jenn Berman, a clinical psychologist in Beverly Hills, who has worked with actors. "It's unconscious, but they think, 'We're a creative family, you have the potential to be creative, so here, I bestow you with the name 'Joaquin,' " Dr. Berman said.
Just as Frank Zappa proved himself the classic hippie prankster by naming his children Moon Unit and Dweezil in the 1960's....Frank Zappa was a hippie? I guess the past looks fuzzy from such a great distance!
Think I'll just DROP OUTFrank Zappa was a hippie?
I'll go to Frisco
Buy a wig & sleep
On Owsley's floor...
I'm completely stoned
I'm hippy & I'm trippy
I'm a gypsy on my own...
I'm really just a phony
But forgive me
'Cause I'm stoned...
Sorry, I got sidetracked. Anyway, you middle-class losers with kids named Dave, how about showing a little imagination? And, to get to the really important question, what do you think Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will name the little pittster they're cooking up for the endless amusement of the world?

WEDNESDAY, March 7 — A recently proposed bill would take glaucoma, which is nestled right between cancer and HIV, off the list of Michigan medical marijuana-approved diseases because, as Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge, put it, "marijuana doesn't work."
Jones said he supports the use of medical marijuana for those suffering from chronic pain or undergoing cancer treatments but was recently approached by doctors who wanted him to axe glaucoma from the list.
"The doctors of ophthalmology came to me with their association and asked that I rush in a bill to take it off," Jones said. "They're actually seeing cases of people going blind who are self-medicating with marijuana."
Glaucoma is an eye disease that increases pressure in the eye, damaging the optic nerve and causing loss of vision, which can eventually lead to blindness if untreated. Marijuana has been shown in some studies to relieve this eye pressure for several hours.
People are not going blind from smoking pot, Jones clarified, but some people are not using their prescribed eye drops and are solely relying on marijuana to address their condition.
"Ridiculous" was the word used by Morgan Fox, communications director for the Marijuana Policy Project to describe the legislation.
The Marijuana Policy Project is a donation-funded, national organization pushing for the removal of criminal penalties from marijuana and advocating for medical usage of the plant.
Senators should not make decisions about treatment options, he said, adding that it's a discussion that belongs between patients and their doctors.
Fox said there was a "proven positive effect" from marijuana when used to treat glaucoma.
"Chronic pain can be subjective," he said, adding, "there is nothing subjective about glaucoma."
There are FDA-approved, more effective, prescription treatments that have been shown to stop glaucoma, said Greg Chancey, executive director for the Michigan Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons.
Patients who only use medical marijuana are coming back to doctor appointments with vision equal to "looking through a drinking straw ... or worse, they blink-blink into blindness," Chancey said.
The organization released a statement expressing their concern about smoking glaucoma away.
"Michigan law has inappropriately included glaucoma as a condition that will benefit from Medical Marijuana. In fact, a large problem is that many patients forgo the use of approved prescription medications ... and exclusively use medical marijuana which increases their risk of continued visual loss and blindness," the statement said.
The statement indicated that the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Glaucoma Society, the American Medical Association, the National Eye Institute and the Michigan State Medical Society do not support the use of marijuana to treat glaucoma.
"That's crazy," said Tim Beck, political director of the Oak Park-based Michigan Association of Compassion Centers, a group dedicated to defending Michigan's medical marijuana law. "Used in combination it's proven very, very effective.
"Anyone silly enough not to use their eye drops, well, maybe there's something else wrong with them besides glaucoma."
Beck called the Jones' bill "a real long shot."
"The concept of taking away any option for treating glaucoma is not something people in the community support," he said.
Chancey, along with other doctors will testify March 20 before the Judiciary Committee regarding SB977, Jones' bill. Jones chairs the committee.

Sneiderman still in jail | News
DECATUR, Ga. -- Andrea Sneiderman remains jailed two days after a judge allowed her release if she can post a $500,000 bond.
Sneiderman was being held in the DeKalb County Jail Thursday morning.
COMPLETE COVERAGE | The Sneiderman murder case
On Tuesday, DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Gregory Adams set the bond after Sneiderman's attorneys said she wasn't a flight risk and would follow instructions not to contact witnesses.
Sneiderman was indicted Aug. 2 on charges of malice murder and criminal attempt to commit murder in the Nov. 18, 2010 killing of her husband Rusty Sneiderman. He was gunned down shortly after dropping off the couple's son at the preschool.
Hemy Neuman, Andrea Sneiderman's former boss, was found guilty of killing Rusty and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Sneiderman maintains she's innocent, and her lawyer Tom Clegg said they expect she will be exonerated at trial.

Original sin
Original sin is the concept that, because of Adam and Eve's sin in the Garden of Eden, all humans are born with the weight of that sin on their backs. If a person doesn't accept Christianity within their lifetime then this sin will send them to hell.
Problems with original sin
For one, how is it fair for God to punish every human that will ever exist for the sins of a pair of people who lived thousands of years ago? The only ones that bear the weight of a sin are the ones that perform it. For example, if a father assassinated a political leader it wouldn't be just to punish his great-grandson for the crime as well.
A larger problem arises with the set-up of the Garden itself. God created Adam and Eve without knowledge of the difference between good and evil. He then told them that they could eat anything in the garden except the fruit of the so-called Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. He also gave humans free will because he wanted them to be able to freely choose him. Thus, when they ate from the tree he was able to punish them for disobeying him. However, the problem arises from the fact that Adam and Eve, being created without the knowledge of good and evil, wouldn't've known that it was wrong to eat from the tree until after they ate from it. They basically had the moral intelligence of infants. Furthermore, God is supposed to be omniscient, meaning that he knew before he even created them that they'd disobey him. If he knew beforehand then why'd he create the tree in the first place? Furthermore, the fact that God knew beforehand that they would disobey him means they had absolutely no choice in the matter. They had to disobey him because, if they didn't, God would cease to be all-knowing. In essence, the entire Garden of Eden was a trap.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - After being down 11 after the first half, the Alabama men's basketball team stormed back in the second half against Drexel in the third-place game of the NIT Season Tip-Off in Madison Square Garden to force overtime. However, after battling back throughout the night, the Crimson Tide came up just short in triple overtime, falling to the Dragons, 85-83.
This was the first triple overtime game since the 2012-13 season against LSU, and the seventh in program history. The Tide is now 4-3 in such games.
Junior forward Nick Jacobs led the Tide in scoring for the second straight game, putting up a career high in points with 23, as well as grabbing eight rebounds. Alabama had three other players in double figures with Trevor Releford putting up 21, Retin Obasohan scoring 18, and Algie Key contributing 10 points.
Trailing by two points with four seconds left in the third overtime, freshman center Jimmie Taylor managed to draw a foul while going to the rim, earning two free throws. Taylor missed both shots, and although the Tide got the offensive rebound, they couldn't convert to force a fourth extra period.
Drexel guard Chris Fouch led the Dragons in scoring with 19 points. He also added five rebounds and three assists.
The Tide returns to Coleman Coliseum for its next contest where it will square off against the North Florida Ospreys on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 7 p.m. CT. The contest will be televised on CSS.

The Troubled Tale of Tony Boles
Sunday's Ann Arbor News featured this excellent article written by John Heuser, describing the sad saga of former Michigan star running back Tony Boles.
10 comments:
Speaking of the dastardly turf at the Metrodome . . . what ever happened to Tripp Welbourne?

Masked Avenger:
I didn't remember Boles hurting his knee in the 1989 Minnesota game. Didn't Welbourne suffer his knee injury in the same game? I'm almost positive he did, though Tripp played in 1990 (and he played in all 12 in 1989.) Does anyone remember the chronology of this?
I tried to track down some info on what became of Welbourne, but couldn't find much. Whenever he was hurt, his injury caused him to slip to the 7th round in the 1991 NFL Draft, where he was selected by the Vikings.
He played in two games for Minnesota in the 1992 season and that was it.
I'd be very interested to find out what he's doing now. He might have been the best safety to play for Michigan over the past 30 years.
- May 12, 2006 3:10 PM
After some Googling, Welborne (I spelled it wrong in the first message) was hurt in 1990. He was an All-American in both 1989 and 1990. His injury in the Minnesota game caused him to miss both the OSU game and the Gator Bowl versus Mississippi.
I would attach a link to Bentley Library website that discusses his career, but I don't know how to do it in this medium.

Masked Avenger, I believe the link you're referring to is this one.
Boles and Welborne were both injured against the Gophers, though in different years. Only Boles can blame the fuzzy cement that was the Metrodome turf.
- May 13, 2006 12:38 AM
You are right. I thought it was one of the two-consecutive road games anomolies that sometimes occur. But I just looked it up on the mgoblue.com site and 1989 was on the road and 1990 - the year Welborne was injured against Minnesota - was at home. Apologies to the Metrodome turf for the mistake.

showing my age, but i was at the Minnesota game in which Wellborne blew his knee/leg out. he was running back a punt and was cowboyed about the Minn 20 yd line (north east corner of the end zone where we sat). rolled thru the tackle and came down awkwardly on the knee(looked a lot like the tackle that shortened Bo Jackson's career, though it was a different injury).
coincidentally, i also went to the ND game in south bend that season. Wellborne and Todd Lyght(sp?)were both pre season all americans that year at corner, and both had big games. over the years, never saw an NFL game w/ Lyght playing that i didn't wonder about what Wellborne might have done in the pros.

A sad article, hopefully it has a happy ending. However, anyone who was at Michigan during his career is not surprised at his drug use as his nickname in certain circles was Tony "Smokin'" Boles. The article left out the part about him stealing the starting running back's car (it was either Emmitt Smith or Tony Dorsett at the time) during training camp which probably led to, or was right after, the drug test.

There was a streak in the 1980s where somebody usually ended a career in the Minny game. One year, the entire O-line went down on a play. Fucking Gophers.

I know exactly where Tripp Welborne is today!
Mr. Welborne is live & very well in the MN. He's a top executive for a major Fortune 500 company based out of MN.
Just as an FYI...He still looks like he could toss on the pads and go play!

I think some people forget that the Reds are dealing with a human being with his own wants, needs and dreams rather than a stratomatic card. The Reds may own his rights, but they don't actually own HIM. They need to convince him that their plans coincide with his best interest, but if he doesn't want to hear it, there is not a lot they can do about it other than keep him as happy as possible and keep trying to convince him.
If a team wants you as a professional at a specific position and is willing to pay you significantly more money than you would otherwise make to play that position, the choice is either take it or do something else for a living - or at least, for as long as that team owns your rights for that sport.
Remember when Jim Bowden forced Alfonso Soriano to move to the OF? Soriano had a lot more leverage then (having already made millions of dollars and multiple All-Star appearances) than a guy like Lorenzen does now.

Go BLUE!!!
But seriously, people are hard to predict. Lorenzen might have his heart set on being the next Ken Griffey Jr, and he might be willing to wait for the 2014 draft if the Reds aren't willing to even listen to him on the subject.
You can't treat people like stratomatic cards.
But, the Reds have also publicly stated (whether they truly mean it or not is another story) that they are willing to let him do both and Lorenzen has publicly stated that he still wants to do both.
I don't see his use being the reason for a hold up. These things just take some time. It has been two weeks since the draft as of today. There really isn't a huge rush.
I could live with Lorenzen as a starting pitcher or as an OF. But to turn him into a bullpen arm after drafting him so high would be a huge HUGE disappointment. To me, the bullpen arm is the 4 year college guy drafted in the 5th round, who either makes it in the bullpen or not at all.
I still want to see him hit. The Reds are almost to the point where they have a lot of pitching, but need some lumber in the OF.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Alex Righi, who will be a freshman at Yale this fall, has been selected as the Male High School Swimmer of the Year by Swimming World magazine. Righi, a graduate of Brophy Prep in Phoenix, Ariz., had the top-ranked times in the nation in the 50-yard freestyle (20.31) and the 100 backstroke (48.00) as well as the second-fastest time in the 100 freestyle (44.76), missing first by only 19 hundreths of a second.
"He was very focused on the Ivy League," Ron Gercke, his club coach at the Arizona Country Club, told Swimming World. "That's his personality. Academics are first. He is so well balanced."
At the NCSA Junior Nationals Short Course Championships in Orlando, Fla., in March, Righi won the 50 freestyle in 20.09, captured the 100 freestyle in 44.24 and won the 100 backstroke in 47.63.

ISM Adds NetSuite, Launches Cloud Computing Practice
February 20, 2013 -- !-- AddToAny BEGIN -->
Portland, OR (PRWEB) February 20, 2013
Information Systems Management (ISM), a nationally recognized value-added reseller (VAR) of business software systems, today announced that it has joined the NetSuite Solution Provider Program. Partnering with NetSuite enables ISM to launch a new cloud computing practice, offering their customers cloud-based business management and ERP software to more efficiently run core business processes including financial management, warehouse and inventory management, distribution, customer service, marketing automation, and CRM.
"Adding a cloud practice with NetSuite supports our responsibility to customers who view us as trusted advisors. To keep that trust, we knew we had to provide them with a real choice when it comes to ERP and accounting software - traditional on-premise or in the cloud," said Stuart Blumenthal, Vice President at ISM.
NetSuite was also an obvious choice because it's a widely-used cloud ERP application that has become a recognized industry leader. "Even in a market with competing products, NetSuite offers a complete range of functionality for financials, CRM, eCommerce, distribution, and manufacturing in one integrated suite. It even supports third-party add-on applications through the SuiteCloud Developer Network," Blumenthal said.
"By extending its portfolio with the NetSuite Cloud, ISM can effectively address the ever-increasing market demand for cloud solutions," said Craig West, Vice President of Channel Sales, NetSuite. "Having ISM join NetSuites partner program further extends NetSuite's reach into new markets, allowing fast growing businesses to streamline their operations."
Blumenthal also noted that their decision to add NetSuite was influenced by the fact that the product was developed specifically for the cloud - not adapted from an on-premise software code base. But none of that would matter, he added, if the software didn't deliver. "We think that prospective new customers are really going to take to NetSuite because they can access it anywhere, anytime. It doesn't matter if they're in the field or in the office, using a Mac, PC, tablet or Smartphone - they have access to their ERP and business applications when, where and how they want it."
ISM provides implementation, training, and support for leading enterprise applications and platforms including ERP, CRM, and cloud solutions. The company is also a multiple recipient of numerous national IT industry awards and a perennial top performer among the Sage Partner Channel.

About Information Systems Management (ISM)

Their diverse professional staff is uniquely qualified to support all major areas of business technology including Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Accounting and operations (ERP), and Human Resource Management and Payroll (HRMS).

1. Welcome
We made it! Linux Format magazine is now 150 issues old. (Or young,
depending on which way you look at it.) So much has happened since
issue 1 back in May 2000, when we were talking about Red Hat Linux
6.1 and KDE 1.1.2. We've been through some great times, such as
winning over new users thanks to the mess that was Windows Vista,
and some less great times, like the whole SCO vs Linux legal tangle.
But Linux has gone from strength to strength, and with Android's
explosive growth, we can be proud that our favourite OS (at least
the kernel!) is powering millions of devices around the world.
Read on for a look at the just-released LXF150, plus roundups of the
hottest news stories and forum threads. Then delve into our special
feature on the "GNU" vs "GNU/Linux" naming controversy - we've got
both sides of the argument. Enjoy!

We feel a bit sorry for users of Windows and Mac OS X. Whenever they
come up with a new idea or fix for their operating systems, the most
they can do is send off an email to Microsoft or Apple and hope that
someone, somewhere, reads it. And then does anything about it.
Whereas here in Linuxland, everyone has the opportunity to make
their OS better, or customise it exactly how they want. That's what
this issue's cover feature focuses on: making your own, unique
distro. Who knows - maybe you'll produce the next big hit in the
DistroWatch charts?
Meanwhile, we explore the new features in kernel 3.0, report from
inside the Mageia project, talk to Rob Pike about the Google Go
programming language, and put KDE 4.7 under the spotlight in our
reviews section. You'll find tutorials on data protection,
MediaWiki, Python and Arduino, while the coverdisc is packed with
software to explore: CentOS 6, Chakra Linux (including KDE 4.7),
Ubuntu 11.10 preview and much more.
Here's a taster of LXF150 from the HotPicks section:
# Minitube 1.5 -- http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube
Can one man change the way we watch video? Probably not, but
Flavio Tordini is going to have a go anyway. His simple yet
cunning idea is to create a standalone player for YouTube videos.
Yes, you might say, isn't that just like a browser window? But no,
it isn't!
Well, it is, sort of. But because Minitube doesn't look like just
a browser window, and because it has some features which are
slightly more centred on viewers rather than web users, it does
sort of subtly change your perception of what's going on. It seems
as if you're no longer just clicking on links to watch videos of
cats sneaking up on people or small boys biting each other, but
actually watching channels of, erm, cats sneaking up on people.
Nevertheless, it's actually pretty good. It isn't any faster than
watching on YouTube or anything, and you may still experience the
tedium of waiting for files to fill the buffer and so on, but it
does encapsulate all the controls you need in a nice interface.
It's a bit of a wonder that the playing controls are at the top of
the screen rather than underneath the video window, but you can't
have everything.
Minitube is pretty straightforward to build from source. It's
written in C++ and uses the Qmake build system so it won't pose
any problems to those of you who can manage a few commands. Make
sure you have Qt 4.5 or better installed and then just type "qmake
&& make".
One thing we should mention: Minitube might not actually work.
Well, it works at the minute, but YouTube has a habit of changing
its website every so often, which in the past has broken previous
versions of the software. If it doesn't work, the author is
usually pretty prompt at fixing, so check the website for any

# Ubuntu Technical Board member proposes monthly releases
Ubuntu has made some controversial moves recently, most notably with
the inclusion of Unity as the default desktop, and now one of the
members of the distro's Technical Board has put together a proposal:
that Ubuntu switches from six-monthly releases to monthly releases.

# Bruce Perens suggests new scheme for copyright assignment
Many open source projects love to have developers contribute, but
they also want the coders of patches to assign copyright too. This,
naturally, puts developers in a bit of a bind. Now Bruce Perens has
come up with a possible solution: developers hand over copyright to
their code to a project, but the project msut commit to having an
open source version for three years. Interesting reading.
# Major Linux websites hacked

No matter how secure a system is, it's only as secure as its users.
Some notable Linux websites such as kernel.org and linux.com were
hacked recently, and the admins are still working out exactly what
happened. Suffice to say, if you have a login on any of those sites
and use the same password elsewhere, you might want to change it...

Ever come across a seemingly inexplicable chain of dependencies,
when you're installing or removing a program? Rhakios wanted to
remove Apache from his Debian Squeeze box, and noticed that apt
wanted to remove Gnome as well. Huh? Roseway pointed out that
metapackages were the cause here, and the process of removing Apache
could go ahead safely. Pastychomper fanned the flames a bit by
suggesting the whole system was designed to make it very difficult
to remove Mono. Hah! [1]

there's a lot of discussion about how well suspending (writing the

6. Special Newsletter feature
Some people call it Linux. Some people call it GNU/Linux (GNU slash
Linux). A few even call it Lignux. But why? If you've ever tried to
research both sides of this debate on the internet, chances are
you've come away completely perplexed. After all, as our very own
Andrew Gregory has often pointed out on the TuxRadar Podcast, the
gnu.org FAQ on GNU/Linux usage is longer than the US constitution.
Here are both sides of the argument.
What we call "Linux" today actually started as another project with
a different name, back in the mid '80s. This was GNU, meaning GNU's
Not Unix, and was created by Richard Stallman to make a totally free
operating system that anyone could share and modify. GNU produced
lots of important software such as the GCC compiler suite, but
progress on its kernel was sluggish, and in 1991 a student called
Linus Torvalds wrote a kernel that fit in with the system.
A kernel is only one part of an OS, and so credit should be given to
the GNU project for its work. Moreover, there has been a tendency to
focus on the practical benefits of GNU/Linux - reliability,
performance and security - rather than the ethical benefits of
freedom and community as original espoused by the GNU team. By
calling it GNU/Linux, we remind people of the principles behind GNU.
We could argue that the history above is very pro GNU, and not the
full truth. In reality, "GNU" back in 1991 was a scattering of bits
and pieces, taken from various projects. It wasn't very advanced and
was missing by far the most important piece, a kernel. When Linus
released Linux, he didn't just slot it into GNU - it needed many
other components and modifications to become a working OS. The GNU
pieces helped, but so did code from many other projects. It's a real
mixture, and to give everything real credit we'd have to use a name
like GNU/BSD/X11/Apache/Perl/Linux.
GCC was alright at the time, but it's only when Linux arrived did it
start to become a seriously powerful piece of software, thanks to
work from "Linux" companies such as Red Hat. So in all, GNU had a
role to play in the development of our OS, but it's by no means
important enough to put in the name (and make an awkward sounding
name). The ball only really starting rolling when the Linux kernel
appeared, and that deserves the main credit.
These are two competing opinions of course, and we're not trying to
push you in any direction. But hopefully the argument is a bit
clearer now, and when you see flamefest thread #385,161 about GNU vs
Linux on a forum, you can chip in with some informed musings. Have fun!

Bryant, RIC ready for post-season play
Sunday, March 02, 2014
Saturday was a big day on the local hardwood floors at Bryant and Rhode Island College, as both programs advance into post-season play.
Bryant came into their game at LIU-Brooklyn having lost four of their previous five games, but used double-figure scoring efforts from their entire starting five to beat the Blackbirds 81-62. Corey Maynard led the Bulldogs with 19 points, Shane McLaughlin and Alex Francis scored 15 points each and Joe O'Shea and Dyami Starks added 12 apiece. Francis grabbed 11 rebounds and O'Shea added 10, while Starks finished with six of the Bulldogs nine steals.
After trailing by as much as 10 in the first half, LIU-Brooklyn pulled within four at halftime, 36-32. Bryant then started strong in the second half, with defense creating turnovers to propel the Bulldogs on a 15-1 run and put them up by 16 points with 15 minutes left to play. Blackbirds' guard Jason Brickman recorded career assist number 1000 on Saturday, becoming only the fourth player in Division I history to accomplish the feat.
With the win, the Bulldogs grabbed the number 3 seed for the upcoming NEC Tournament and gained a home-court advantage for the playoff game. Bryant (18-13, 10-6 NEC) will host #6 seed Saint Francis (PA) Wednesday night at the Chace Athletic Center in Smithfield. The Bulldogs won the only meeting between the two teams during the regular season, a 77-67 victory January 9th in Smithfield.
As for Rhode Island College, the second-seeded Anchormen defeated top-seeded Eastern Connecticut 70-61 to claim the Little East Conference tournament championship in Willimantic, CT. With the win over Eastern Connecticut, RIC (20-8) advances to the NCAA D-III Men's Basketball Tournament for the eighth consecutive season. The win also marks the second straight season and the sixth time (2014, '13 '11, '10, '08, '07) in the program's history that the Anchormen have clinched the Little East Conference Tournament Championship.
The Anchormen avenged two regular season losses to the Warriors, and handed Eastern Connecticut it's first Little East loss of the season in the title game. Eric Alleyne led RIC with 19 points, Victor Smith scored 17 and junior forward Chris Burton added 12 points and five rebounds. Burton was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player award, averaging 14.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 3.0 steals.
The Rhode Island College Anchorwomen also claimed the Little East Conference tournament title on Saturday, marking just the second time in league history that both men's and women's titles were won by the same institution in the same year. Both teams now advance into the NCAA D-III tournament.

Maine man guilty of making false claims to fraudulently obtain VA benefits
BANGOR, Maine (AP) � A 38-year-old Maine man faces sentencing after pleading guilty to receiving Veterans Affairs disability benefits to which he wasn't entitled.
Richard Ramsdell Jr. of Cutler entered his plea Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Bangor.
Prosecutors say Ramsdell obtained more than $200,000 in VA benefits by falsely claiming to be unemployed and unable to work because of his back and mental condition.
Court records show that Ramsdell in fact was working for a wreath manufacturer and as a fisherman and painter.
He faces a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 and full restitution.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Georgia College & State University women's basketball head coach Maurice Smith recently announced the hire of Toby Wagoner as assistant coach. Wagoner moves over from the Bobcat men's team, where he served as graduate assistant coach for the 2009-10 season.
The Bobcat men went 22-6 in 2009-10, picking up a Peach Belt Conference (PBC) West Division championship. The men's squad also advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight season.
Wagoner will work with a mixture of players, guiding both guards and post, and will serve as the program's recruiting coordinator. His strong ties will assist in bringing in top-level talent both locally and in the Midwest and Northwest.
He came to Georgia College from Bishop McNamara Catholic High School in Kankakee, Ill., where he served as the head boys basketball coach since 2006. Prior to that he spent two seasons at the helm of the Athens High squad in Athens, Ill.
"Coach Wagoner brings a wealth of knowledge and experience this program needs," said Smith. "He also fuels energy and enthusiasm – an impression that will pass through to our players and improve the team atmosphere. Having worked one year in the department as a coach, Toby has made great relationships already with the campus community, and has proven to be a loyal and hard-working coach."
Wagoner is originally from Hoopeston, Ill. A graduate of Eastern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education, he then went on to earn a Masters in Education from the University of North Dakota. At UND, he worked for two years as a graduate assistant coach for the NCAA Division II men's basketball program.
After finishing at UND, he moved on to Division II Tusculum College, working for another two seasons in men's basketball as the Pioneers' assistant coach.
He and his wife, the former Kimberly Benedict live in Milledgeville.
The Bobcat women were PBC West Division Champions in 2009-10, compiling a 21-8 record overall. The ninth 20-win season in program history, it was the seventh since the program joined the NCAA Division II and the PBC. Georgia College put two players on the All-PBC teams a year ago.
The GCSU Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Georgia College prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/GCSUBobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCSUBobcats.com to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GCSU Athletics Hall of Fame.

SQL Server DMV Views might be very helpful. Let's imagine that you have a couple of nested stored procedures and you find out that it's slow. It would be nice if you could discover which single query/ies in your procedures causes that it is slow. Few DMV views can tell you that.
Ian W. Stirk wrote whole book about practical use DMV views which is definitely worth to read. I've received comment from Ian to one of my post recently which contained helpful piece of advice I would like to share here.
Here is link to his book:
SQL Server DMVs in Action: Better Queries with Dynamic Management Views
He post me query which is using DMV view to basically order part of your stored procedure's source code from slowest to fastest. After some time of using it I found out that it had really great value for me because it discovered things you couldn't realize (e.g. that scalar functions are terribly slow).
Core of the query are two views – sys.dm_exec_query_stat and sys.dm_exec_sql_text.
Sys.dm_exec_query_stat query contains performance statistics for each query executed on your SQL Server instance. No rocket science. But it contains even offset which can lead you to exact portion of query which is slow – this means that you can find out statistics for e.g. one SELECT query in your procedure. Sys.dm_exec_sql_text contains source code of executed SQL objects. If you combine those two views together you will find out statistics for each individual part of your stored procedure.
Here is the query:
SELECT CAST(total_elapsed_time / 1000000.0 AS DECIMAL(28, 2)) AS [Total Duration (s)] , CAST(total_worker_time * 100.0 / total_elapsed_time AS DECIMAL(28, 2)) AS [% CPU] , CAST((total_elapsed_time - total_worker_time)* 100.0 / total_elapsed_time AS DECIMAL(28, 2)) AS [% Waiting] , execution_count , CAST(total_elapsed_time / 1000000.0 / execution_count AS DECIMAL(28, 2)) AS [Average Duration (s)] , SUBSTRING (qt.text,(qs.statement_start_offset/2) + 1, ((CASE WHEN qs.statement_end_offset = -1 THEN LEN(CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX), qt.text)) * 2 ELSE qs.statement_end_offset END - qs.statement_start_offset)/2) + 1) AS [Individual Query] , SUBSTRING(qt.text,1,100) AS [Parent Query] , DB_NAME(qt.dbid) AS DatabaseName FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats qs CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) as qt WHERE total_elapsed_time > 0 ORDER BY total_elapsed_time DESC
There's one but – I found out these DMV views contain all statistics data from start of your SQL Server Instance. I didn't find out how to display these statistics only for last query. I always restart SQL Server instance if I don't want to get mix of slow queries which are not related to last batch I executed. It's dumb but I didn't make up better solution. If you know better solution, please share.Tags: Average, CAST, COUNT, DMV, duration, Ian W.

Allelopathic Effects of Aqueous Extracts from Residues of Sorghum bicolor Stem and Maize Inflorescence on the Germination and Growth of Euphorbia heterophylla L.
The allelopathic effects of powdered extracts from residues of sorghum stem and maize inflorescence on the germination and growth of Euphorbia heterophylla L were examined. The extracts brought about considerable inhibitions to all growth parameters of the extract-treated seeds. The degree of inhibition increased with the concentration of the extracts showing that the inhibition was concentration dependent. In E. heterophylla seeds treated with maize inflorescence, the degree of inhibition appeared to be more pronounced on the coefficient of velocity (COV), number of leaves at harvest and relative growth rates. Also in sorghum stem extract treated seeds, the degree of inhibition was more pronounced on the germination percentage, leaf area, dry root and shoot weights. Statistical analysis, at 5% significant level, revealed that there were significant differences in germination percentage, COV, leaf area and relative growth rates of E. heterophylla seedlings from seeds treated with powdered extracts from residues of sorghum stem when compared to the results obtained in the control experiments. Similarly, significant differences were observed in the number of leaves, leaf areas and the relative growth rate of E. heterophylla seedlings derived from seeds treated with extracts from maize inflorescence when compared to the control. However, there were no significant differences in the germination percentage and COV of maize inflorescence extract-treated seeds as well as the number of leaves at harvest in the sorghum stems extract-treated seeds compared to control experiments.
