FITCHBURG — Collaboration and making education work from birth through college are going to be the keys to success in Gateway Cities such as Fitchburg and Leominster, local education officials said Wednesday.
At a Gateway Cities Education Vision Forum hosted by MassINC at Fitchburg High School, local public school and higher-education officials, as well as representatives from some community partners, gathered to discuss ongoing education initiatives and the future of communitywide learning systems in the Gateway Cities.
Ben Forman, executive director of the Gateway Cities Innovation Institute and research director of MassINC, said Gateway Cities and their residents are critical to the future success of the state, because together they hold a quarter of all kindergarten through 12th-grade students, and a third of all students under age 5.
"When you look at our future economy, 70 percent of all jobs will require post-secondary training, but only 22 percent of Gateway City kids are getting a post-secondary degree," he said. "So unless we fix that, it's going to have real implications for the state's future."
While Gateway Cities often are perceived as having less-than-stellar school systems, Forman said these cities are where the most innovative work in education is happening in the state. He said these cities often have many assets that can be overlooked, such as colleges and universities that provide dual enrollment for students, public transit and linguistic and cultural diversity.
Mayor Lisa Wong said the Gateway Cities Education Vision requires community partners across a wide variety of sectors to collaborate with educational institutions of all levels to ensure children start with a proper education from a young age.
"Right now, we can never fully implement that vision if we continue to work in silos," she said.
Fitchburg State University President Robert Antonucci agreed.
"What we're learning today is that we cannot operate independently any longer. We need to operate cooperatively," he said.
He pointed to a strong partnership with local schools and with Mount Wachusett Community College, and asked all present to commit to "enhance the lives of each and every student that we serve in all of our schools."
"Students represent, demographically, 25 percent of our present, but they represent 100 percent of our future," said MWCC President Daniel Asquino. "It's all of our responsibility to make sure that our students are career-ready, are college-ready and are civically ready."
He said the college's Division of Access and Transition, which includes a number of programs that prepare students of all levels for the future, was born out of the need to break down the separate K-12 and higher-education cultures and work together to improve the quality of life for students. While it was questioned at first, the model has become so successful that others are now replicating it, Asquino said.
Leominster Superintendent of Schools James Jolicoeur discussed partnering with community organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club and the SHINE Initiative to take care of students' social and emotional needs so that they can come to school ready to learn, as well as allowing Leominster High School and Center for Technical Education Innovation students opportunities to access each other's resources.
Laura Howick, education director at the Fitchburg Art Museum, spoke of partnering with school districts to provide cultural opportunities for children and with the city and the Twin Cities Community Development Corp. to boost the creative economy and spur economic development.
FHS Principal Jeremy Roche spoke about the school's efforts to meet students where they are and target resources to help students at all levels succeed, from the School Within a School program, designed to support incoming freshmen most at-risk of dropping out, to the Honors Academy, which challenges students ready to perform above grade level, and includes a compact with FSU.
Dan Hanneken, principal of McKay Arts Academy, the city's only prekindergarten through eighth grade Innovation School, located on the Fitchburg State University campus, spoke about the autonomies granted to the school under Innovation status and how students and staff are benefiting from site-based management and various collaborations with community partners.

India's rupee led an advance in Asian currencies this week after exit polls showed that the main opposition party is gaining support, while the Thai baht had the biggest loss amid anti-government protests.
The Bloomberg-JPMorgan Asia Dollar Index climbed 0.1 percent over the past five days, halting two weeks of losses.
In Taipei, the New Taiwan dollar was little changed against the greenback, ending the week at NT$29.665 compared with NT$29.679 on Nov. 29.
The US dollar fell against the NT dollar Friday, shedding NT$0.025 in thin trading as many traders stayed on the sidelines ahead of the release of a jobs report in the US later that day.
The anxiety of traders over the job data was running high after Washington reported stronger-than-expected economic growth for the third quarter on Wednesday, escalating fears that the Fed will soon taper its billion bond buying program, they said.
The central bank, as it has done recently, entered the trading floor late in the session, picking up the greenback and cutting its NT dollar holdings to help the US currency recoup most of its earlier losses, dealers said.
Downward pressure emerged as traders took cues from a move by the People's Bank of China to raise the reference rate to a new high for the Chinese yuan in exchange for the US currency, dealers said.
Many traders suspected that the higher rate showed greater willingness by Chinese authorities to allow the yuan to trade in a wider range, which could boost the value of other regional units, they said.
The rupee appreciated 1.2 percent this week to 61.6813 per US dollar, the most since the period ended on Oct. 4, as of 2:19pm on Friday in Mumbai, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The yuan had its biggest weekly gain in more than a month, adding 0.19 percent to 6.0817, as the People's Bank of China set the daily fixing at the strongest level on record amid speculation steps to loosen foreign exchange rules will lure inflows.
The Chinese central bank boosted the reference rate by 0.13 percent to 6.1232 per US dollar on Friday, the strongest since a peg to the greenback ended in July 2005 and 0.15 percent higher than a week ago. The monetary authority is proposing free convertibility of the yuan in special accounts in Shanghai's free-trade zone, according to a document published on Monday on its Web site.
The baht had a sixth weekly decline, falling 0.9 percent to 32.34 to post its longest losing streak since June, due to concern that prolonged political unrest will hurt investor sentiment.
Elsewhere in Asia, South Korea's won was little changed this week at 1,057.90 against the greenback, while Indonesia's rupiah was steady at 11,964, the Philippine peso lost 0.4 percent to 43.955, Malaysia's ringgit fell 0.3 percent to 3.2337 and Vietnam's dong weakened 0.1 percent to 21,140.
The euro rallied for a fourth week against the greenback, the longest streak since June, as European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi refrained from adding to monetary stimulus.
Europe's 17-nation currency rallied 0.9 percent to US$1.3706 this week in New York, while the greenback rose 0.5 percent to ¥102.91, the sixth straight weekly gain and the longest streak since February. Japan's currency fell 1.3 percent to ¥141.03 per euro.
The 17-nation currency strengthened versus most of its 16 major peers as the EU central bank's stance outweighed labor and economic data in the US that was stronger than forecast, as traders bet the Fed will keep its benchmark interest rates unchanged even when it slows its bond-buying.

At this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, there was an LMP2 car badged as a Lotus, but it was actually a Lola with Lotus plastered on the side. Now, a car that is kind of actually a Lotus could be on the track in 2013.
Under Dany Bahar's leadership, Lotus built a bunch of concept cars that became vaporware and started a lifestyle clothing line. Pretty much the only good thing that came from his time at the helm of was the return of the fabled name to motorsports, even if it was just through sponsorship of other teams.
The new car isn't an in-house Lotus project, since they're strapped for cash. Instead, Kodewa (a race team) is licensing the Lotus name and having French-led German company ADESS design the car. ADESS is made up of former F1 designers, so that's a plus.
It's intended to run in LMP2 starting in 2013 and will be able to take a Judd V8 which will also be badged as a Lotus. In the future they hope it can accept engines from a variety of manufacturers, like Honda, Toyota, and even Mazda.
On the face of it, we gotta say, it looks great. The traditional black and gold paint scheme, blacked out LED headlights, shark fin engine cover, and closed cockpit all look sinister and menacing.
There is also the chance that the car will be able to move up to LMP1 in the future, as it's been designed with the 2014 regulations in mind.
ADESS says the car will hit the track in January. Our fingers are crossed that actually happens. We have reason to have our doubts.

SKF upgrades thermal cameras to enhance condition monitoring
2013 December 16, 13:00 CET
SKF has launched two new thermal cameras, the SKF TKTI 21 and TKTI 31, which offer a cost-effective means of improving the efficiency and safety of maintenance
Gothenburg, Sweden, 16 December 2013: SKF has launched two upgraded thermal cameras that cut costs and enhance efficiency by enabling engineers to detect potential problems before they occur. The SKF TKTI 21 and TKTI 31 thermal cameras can be used in multiple applications to spot the unusual heat patterns that indicate machine problems, enabling prompt preventive maintenance to reduce production losses due to unplanned downtime. By helping to increase plant availability and reliability SKF thermal cameras will realise a high return on investment when used as a part of a proactive maintenance programme.
"Thermal cameras are often used in the food processing industry to detect overheating pumps, this not only helps maintenance planning but can also help reduce the amount of spoilt products", says Julien Meunier, SKF product developer.
The TKTI 31, which replaces the TKTI 30, has been upgraded with a thermal detector that has 40% more pixels. With a 380x280 pixel detector, the TKTI 31 has a lower cost than most other brands that offer a standard 320x240 detector. Meanwhile, the new TKTI21 is significantly cheaper than its predecessor and is one of the best priced and appointed thermal cameras with 160x120 resolution on the market.
SKF thermal cameras meet the needs of condition monitoring engineers by offering a convenient means of inspecting running equipment under full load, thus minimising production interference.
The cameras also help engineers to avoid the safety issues of inspecting hard-to-access or live electrical equipment. SKF thermal cameras are supplied with an easy to use thermal imaging analysis and reporting software, which was designed with the help of real users. Unlike many other similar products, detailed image analysis and professional reports are quick and easy to produce and with a click of the mouse can be shared with others in either PDF or MS Word format.

No more refills: How global warming is affecting your morning cup of joe
You know what they say: There's no such thing as a free refill. This morning, the Boston Globe presented a front-page article about how coffee prices are at an all-time high and will increase further as supplies of what is a vital substance (for me and so many others) continues to decline.
The article comes exactly two months after a March 9 article in the New York Times reported on the scientific evidence that global warming is damaging global coffee production, noting that leading voices in the coffee industry describe the potential for the virtual extinction of Arabica, the bean behind most high-quality coffee. But the Globe article makes no mention of global warming.
Until the media presents and connects these kind of dots, we will not be able to take the action needed to face this fundamental challenge. Global warming is changing everything – from the coastal communities facing rising sea levels to our farms and forests where fundamental changes are underway. Until we wake up and smell the coffee (if any is still available) we will not be able to make the move to a cleaner, more efficient society and economy.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – The VCU Men's & Women's track & field program kicked into high gear on Saturday for a trip to the Penn State National Invitational at the Horace Ashenfelter III Indoor Track.
VCU freshman sprinter Kiara Porter has continued her hot streak, winning the 400 meter dash in a time of 54.82 seconds. The Yorktown, Va., native nearly broke the school record in the event, falling just short of Shaunette Davey's record from 2004.
Porter grabbed a second place finish in the 200 meters, crossing the finish line in 24.34 seconds, just .06 seconds after Joann Blakney.
"Kiara provided some great performances today," said VCU Head Coach Jon Riley. "She had a long day and proved she can compete with the best. She is really close to the indoor school record in the 400 meters and I believe will break it before the indoor season is over."
Redshirt-sophomore thrower Jaleesa Williams continues to outdo herself in the shot put, as this week her throw landed 14.57 meters away from the starting point and garnered her fourth place honors. The heave outdid Williams previous school record throw of 14.28 meters that she set earlier this season.
"Jaleesa has throw the shot put in three meets so far this season, and each time she has improved her performance. It has been one of her goals since she arrived on campus, to put out a performance like this in a meet of this quality. She's still making corrections and looking to improve as the season continues and battle for medal position in meets bigger than this one."
Both the Men's and Women's 4x400 relay teams put together solid performances, with the women breaking the school record and the men hitting the IC4A qualifying mark. The women's came in fifth in the event with a time of 3:45.39, while the men came in eighth with a time 3:17.32 seconds.
"I'm proud of both Men's and Women's team," added Riley. "They fought hard from start to finish to win their respective heat. That's what I want to see every time we step on the track."
While part of the team was at Penn State, the Rams also sent a number of student-athletes to the Patriot Games hosted by George Mason on Saturday.
The Black & Gold saw a number of athletes turn in impressive performances.
The Rams grabbed first and second place finishes in the pole vault, with sophomore Justine Dutton and redshirt-senior Stephanie Newing earning the gold and silver.
"Justine suffered an injury last weekend, so I was very pleased with how she was able to have the courage to bounce back so quickly," said VCU assistant coach Allyson Thomas. "I am expecting big things out of her and Stephanie when we go to New York next weekend against some talented competition.
VCU sophomore Shanita Glenn finished tied for second in the high jump, with a leap of 1.60 meters.
The VCU men earned first place finishes in 1,000 meters, pole vault and shot put.
Junior mid-distance runner Alex Hinton earned the first place ribbon in the 1,000, with a time of 2:30.40. Hinton edged out Richmond's Matthew Groff by over a second.
Sophomore Matt Hatheway set a personal record in the record pole vault on his way to winning the event as he cleared 4.35 meters.
Freshman thrower Ryan Coles earned his first collegiate victory in the shot put with his heave landing 15.27 meters. Coles was joined in the top five by teammate Luke Thomason, who grabbed fourth place honors with a throw of 14.03 meters.
VCU sophomore Kyle Sipple picked up third place honors in the 500 meters, crossing the finish line in 1:07.36.
The Rams will next be in action on Feb. 3-4, at the New Balance Invite in New York, N.Y.

With a padded glove-like handle, the EzyDog offers ultimate comfort for every pet owner. It's a great choice for runners and joggers who don't want to focus on gripping a standard leash. It has a shock-reducing bungee that takes some of the strain away if a dog lunges or pulls incessantly. The EzyDog is adjustable from 36" to 48" and the glove fits any size hand. It's also a great choice for dog owners who suffer from arthritis or other hand conditions, as it reduces the need to grip tightly around a thin nylon leash.
States that do not have statewide leash laws are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming.
This inexpensive leash is billed as "indestructible," and this pick was a favorite of our consumer (and K9!) testers. Users raved about the reflective material and thickness of the leash, confident that it could hold up to even large dogs' pulling. Testers also loved the look and security of the clip, although it may be a little large for small dogs.

Theme buffets and puzzles add spice at one retirement community.
LEWISBURG, Pa.—At the Ridgecrest Restaurant at 430-resident Riverwoods Campus, a senior living community in Northeast Pennsylvania, several initiatives have been implemented to bring a little excitement to the dining experience. Under the direction of Gary Verruni, general manager at this Metz & Associates account, residents have grown fond of new elaborate theme buffets and menu word searches.
"We wanted to add a little excitement to dining for our residents," Verruni said. "So we started running a lunch buffet every Wednesday in our café. The menu varies from week to week. We'll do a tailgate party, a taco bar, a breakfast-for-lunch buffet, a pizza buffet or a 24-foot Italian sub buffet. We've also done a polar bear picnic, where we set up our outside barbeque grill in front of the café windows and grilled in the middle of winter."
Verruni said one of the most popular buffets is the prime rib and seafood buffet, which is done the second Friday of each month. The buffets have proven to be so popular, that Verruni has expanded the program to Friday buffets several times a month and Sunday brunch. Menu items for the prime rib and seafood buffet include barbeque baby back ribs, seafood alfredo with clams and shrimp, southern fried chicken and cornbread, garlic mashed potatoes and oysters shucked to order. He adds that participation is higher on Wednesdays because of the buffets and the excitement they bring. "It's not the same old thing," Verruni said. "And it's not the typical soup and salad bar, so residents really feel like it is something special."
The Wednesday lunch buffets, now in their fourth year, are $5.95 and, according to Verruni, have become a great selling point when giving tours to potential residents.
Another way Verruni and his staff add a little something extra to resident dining is by creating menu word searches. Verruni creates word searches, which are also done on Wednesdays, by taking the day's menu items and hiding them in the word search. Another variation has been to put the foodservice staff's names in the puzzle. Residents submit completed puzzles and five are selected at random. Those five people win a free lunch buffet the next Wednesday.

FZ: "When Nvidia's CEO was asked about Intel's chipset sales contribution in Q1 of financial 2010 revenue, Nvidia came up with an impressive number of $180. million. Two thirds of that or roughly 120 million was the Ion share. Well, this is correct but you need to learn the logic behind the Ion brand.
The top Nvidia guy has confirmed that Ion is also MCP79 and that some customers of his like to call this chipset Geforce 9400. So when Nvidia says 120 million came from Ion sales in this quarter, it means that all MCP79 parts sold in Q1 are included.
Half of this goes on Apple Geforce 9400 and the substantial part of it goes to other notebook manufacturers like Acer and Asus that are also buying these chips.
So Ion sales were not even remotely close to 120 million but we are sure that days of good Ion sales are going to happen in this quarter as Nvidia said that many major as well as smaller manufacturers will come up with Ion based systems in the near future. If we had to bet, we'd put our money on Computex.
The gross margin for Ion based products should be larger than the company's average, so probably higher than 30 percent which is not bad at all."

Congratulations, America: you've gotten what you wished for. You elected Barack "Hussein" Obama as commander in chief. He quickly allowed homosexuals to serve as proud members of the US Armed Forces, standing buttock-to-buttock in foxholes next to normal young American boys. (After the war is over, they can marry, now.) It was only a matter of time before our fighting men were encouraged to start fucking dogs.
You see, in order to allow the gays to infiltrate our Army legally, the US Code of Military Justice is being modified. Congress is going to vote to delete a section about what kind of hot sex is and isn't allowed in the hot, hot heat of battle. But what else is being deleted in the process?
In fact, Congress is poised to remove from the books the only specific reference to bestiality contained in the UCMJ. The obscure deletion, contained in the massive Defense Appropriations bill now being finalized, raised the ire of some conservative groups still outraged over the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" law that allowed homosexuals to serve openly in the military.
And this is allegedly a "technicality?" How convenient, for liberal congressmen, to accidentally legalize hot dog fucking by our lust-crazed boys in uniform. Let's just see what the Family Research Council has to say about this, eh?
This is the slippery slope that FRC warned of. For three long years, President Obama has worked to draft the military into his radical social agenda. Obviously, the administration understands that once it breaks down the values and inhibitions of our Defense Department, society will be easier to wear down. Here, the unintended consequence of that push opens the door to an act so vile it's embarrassing to mention—let alone tolerate. When FRC made the discovery, we sought confirmation from former and current military attorneys. One of those sources, a law professor and former judge advocate, replied that yes, by eliminating Article 125, the Senate would be creating a legal argument for bestiality. This may not have been deliberate, but it's certainly conceivable from leaders who pay so little attention to the consequences of their extreme social agenda.
Once you elect a black Muslim as president, you are mos definitely on a slippery slope. That slippery slope ends in legalized military dog fucking. Do not say that the Republican party did not warn you.

You normally don't think of "Chinese food" and "good cheese" in the same sentence. A fresh goat cheese called 乳饼 rǔbǐng, however, is one of the well-loved specialties of Yunnan cuisine. It comes from the Bai and Sani minorities of Yunnan province, and is made by heating fresh goat's milk with a souring agent until firm, then either pan-fried or steamed before serving.
You also don't normally think of eating cheese and sugar together, outside of cheese cake or manchego with quince paste. At South Silk Road in Qianhai, I recently had a dish of pan-fried goat cheese served with a side of sugar and another side of salt mixed with cracked black pepper. By itself, the cheese is already good, like a firmer, crispier paneer or even mozzerella. With the sugar and salt mixture on top, it was sublime. For a moment I wanted to plop it on sliced baguette and drizzle olive oil over it (sacriledge?). Then I realized how good it already was by itself, or with Yunnan ham and stir-fried greens.
South Silk Road is by no means the only restaurant that serves rūbīng, since it is as much a Yunnan restaurant staple as cross-the-bridge noodles. But if you're ever in the Houhai/Qianhai area, stop by S'Silk Road for the gorgeous lakeside views while dining. And to sample the best (okay, the only, but still delicious) cheese China has to offer.

SAN FRANCISCO � Microsoft's cloud-computing service will offer Oracle's database and Java tools as an option as the companies cast aside a longstanding rivalry to attract businesses moving their software online.
Microsoft will offer businesses using its Windows Azure service the ability to run Oracle's widely used database software, application-connecting middleware and Java programming tools, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer and Oracle co-President Mark Hurd said Monday on a conference call to unveil the alliance. Customers are demanding that more of the companies' products work in tandem as they create Web services that incorporate offerings from both, the executives said.
"It's about time, and we're really glad to have the chance to work in this much newer and more constructive way with Oracle," Ballmer said. "The partnership has an immediate benefit to customers of every size and shape."
Both companies face competition from nimbler rivals delivering computing power over the Internet, including Google, Amazon.com and Salesforce.com. Microsoft is seeking new sources of revenue from online services as demand for personal computers slumps, and Oracle is shifting its focus to business software sold through online subscriptions rather than installed on customers' own computer servers.
The collaboration would lure customers seeking more technical compatibility between Microsoft and Oracle products. Oracle plans to support versions of its software that customers run through the online Azure service, and when using Microsoft's Hyper-V virtualization software, which lets servers run more efficiently, Hurd said. Oracle also will let customers use their current software licenses on Azure, he said.
Oracle's database, which will be upgraded later this year as a new version called 12c, competes with Microsoft's own SQL Server. Companies using Microsoft's Azure cloud service, which lets companies build and run programs online, will be able to put information into Oracle's database.
The alliance with Microsoft lets Oracle offer its customers the option of sticking with its database and middleware at a time when businesses are moving more of their software to cloud- computing services. Oracle reported on June 20 that fiscal fourth-quarter software license and subscription sales grew just 1 percent, less than analysts had projected.
Oracle controlled 45 percent of the $28.2 billion worldwide database market in 2012, compared with 20 percent for Microsoft and 18 percent for IBM, according to IDC.
Azure's main competitor is Amazon Web Services, in a growing area called infrastructure as a service, which lets companies rent computing power, storage and database software via the Internet. That's the fastest-growing part of the cloud market, according to Gartner Inc., which estimates sales in the market segment to surge by an average of 38 percent annually to $30.6 billion by 2017, from $6.17 billion last year.
Microsoft, which said in April that revenue from Azure and related software sales topped $1 billion annually, has pledged to match Amazon Web Services' prices.
"This deal gives Microsoft clear competitive advantages against two of its top rivals," James Staten, an analyst at Forrester Research, said in a blog post. It bolsters Microsoft's efforts to compete with VMware, the market leader in virtualization software, and "gives Windows Azure near-equal position against Amazon Web Services in the cloud platform wars," he said.
Oracle also will make its version of the open-source Linux operating system available through Azure.
"The cloud is the tipping point that made this happen," Hurd said. "This made a lot of sense for both of us."
The two companies have a long history of competition stretching back to the dawn of personal computers in the 1970s. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, who first publicized the alliance on his company's earnings conference call last week, used to deride Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft as a "convicted monopolist" after it was found guilty in federal court of illegally defending its Windows monopoly to squelch competition.
In 2000, Redwood City, Cali.-based Oracle said it hired detectives to comb the trash of two organizations supporting Microsoft in its antitrust trial. Ellison added that he'd be happy to ship his garbage to Redmond for inspection.
Still, Microsoft and Oracle have cooperated before. Oracle's database also runs on Windows, and developers using Microsoft's Web services software can build applications using Oracle's software tools.
Ballmer said that the companies would continue to compete, and that much of their cooperation so far had been done out of public view. The very nature of cloud computing, in which software applications span multiple companies' infrastructure software and Web sites, meant that approach was no longer sufficient, he said.
"That behind-the-scenes collaboration is not enough. People wanted more from us," Ballmer said. "In the world of cloud, you've got to do that kind of partnership actively, not passively."
The announcement was reminiscent of a 2004 detente between Ballmer and former Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy, who appeared onstage together at a San Francisco hotel to swap hockey jerseys, demonstrate interoperability between their products and announce a settlement to legal disputes between the longtime rivals.
Ellison is mending fences with other rivals too. He said last week that Oracle would announce deals with Salesforce.com and NetSuite � of which he's a partial owner � to use the 12c database. Salesforce and NetSuite already run Oracle's database to power their applications.
Oracle's deal with Salesforce that Ellison mentioned last week comes after CEO Marc Benioff was scratched from a speaking spot at Oracle's OpenWorld conference in 2011, leading Benioff to stage a mock protest before speaking at a nearby hotel.

NEW ORLEANS – That man sitting in row 3 Tuesday night, rooting on the Louisville Cardinals on in the women's national championship game?
Rick Pitino.
The special guest four hours earlier at the team's pre-game meal, giving a pep talk at the hotel?
Rick Pitino.
Possibly the tiredest guy in New Orleans Tuesday night?
Rick Pitino.
COLLEGE HOOPS: Who will be No. 1 next season?
PITINO: Coach headed to Basketball Hall of Fame
MORE: Pitino makes history with win
It had been a long day, after the night his own Louisville team cut down the nets in Atlanta. Pitino did the morning news show rounds starting at 7 o'clock with Peyton Siva, and Luke Hancock. "I know he hadn't slept then," sports information director Kenny Klein said.
Then he sent the team back to Louisville. Somebody had to take the trophy home. Then he hopped onto a plane and flew to New Orleans in time for the women's pre-game meal.
Sitting two seats from the aisle meant a steady stream of visitors before the game. Fans wanting to shake hands. Kids wanting a picture. NCAA president Mark Emmert stopped by for a chat.
But no questions from the media, please. Even on a night when Louisville could become just the second school to sweep the Division I basketball titles.
"He doesn't want to talk," Klein said. "The focus is on the women."
Of course that was before the game. That "focus" changed early in the second half when an ESPN camera showed up. All of a sudden, Pitino was quite pleased to talk.
Asked about the game, in which Louisville was trailing by 19 at the time, he said, "I wish we were a little bit closer here. We're just running into a buzz saw."
Asked about what he told the team before the game, "I told them, you've had a great season. Don't focus on the championship. Focus on beating Connecticut. Sometimes you focus on the prize and you lose the game."
Pitino might have had company with him had things happened more quickly late Monday and early Tuesday. NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn said the NCAA did not become aware of the request until early Tuesday morning and responded with Louisville's options, which included allowing the school to fly the team directly to New Orleans. The move required a waiver, which was granted.
"They reached out to us and said they'd expedite things and try to make it happen," Klein said. But the plane was waiting and there were too many logistical questions to settle.
Louisville said thanks – "We don't have a problem with the NCAA on that at all," Klein said -- and sent the players home, and Pitino headed for his third row seat behind the Cardinals' bench.

Hepatitis B is a viral infection of the liver. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Lifelong HBV infection can lead to liver cancer or scarring of the liver (cirrhosis). More than 1 million people in the United States are living with lifelong HBV infection. Anyone can get infected with HBV, including your child.
The hepatitis B vaccine is the best way to protect your child from becoming infected. Read on for more information from the American Academy of Pediatrics about how HBV is spread and why the hepatitis B vaccine is so important.
Hepatitis B virus is spread by blood or body fluids. Here are ways exposure to these fluids can happen.
During birth (if the mother has HBV)
Sharing personal items, such as razors or toothbrushes, with a person who is infected
Having unprotected sex with a person who is infected
Injecting or shooting drugs using a needle with infected blood
Some children may also become infected with HBV while living in the same household as a person with a lifelong form of the infection. It is unknown how this happens.
You may feel your child will never be exposed to HBV in any of these ways. Here are some facts about HBV to think about.
One-third of people who are infected with HBV in the United States don't know how they got it.
Some people with HBV do not even know they are infected.
A person, especially a child, with HBV may not feel or look sick.
Nearly half of the more than 5,000 adult Americans who die from hepatitis B each year caught their infection during childhood.
People with HBV can pass it to others who aren't protected. Immunizing your child against this virus will protect her now and when she is older and exposed to more people.
The vaccine is very safe. No serious reactions have been linked to this vaccine. Side effects are usually mild and include fussiness or soreness where the shot was given. Symptoms usually go away within 48 to 72 hours. Keep in mind that getting the vaccine is much safer than getting the disease.
Your child needs at least 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine to be fully protected. The recommended times to receive hepatitis B vaccine are
At birth
At 1 to 2 months of age
At 6 to 18 months of age
Newborns who don't get the vaccine at birth should get all 3 doses as soon as possible at the recommended intervals.
If a pregnant woman tests positive for HBV, her child must be vaccinated as soon as possible (preferably within 12 hours of birth). The second dose should be given at 1 to 2 months of age, and the final dose by 6 months of age.
Older children or teens who have not been immunized and any unvaccinated person living with a person who is known to be infected by HBV should receive 3 doses of the vaccine to protect against infection.
It's important that your child gets all 3 doses. More than 95% of children who receive all the recommended doses of the vaccine are fully protected against the illnesses caused by HBV.
In rare cases, there are children who should not get the vaccine, including
Children who had a severe allergic reaction to a previous dose of the vaccine. Such reactions are rare.
Children who are more than mildly sick on the day the vaccination is scheduled. These children may need to wait until they are feeling better. Children with minor colds, an upset stomach, or an ear infection can receive the hepatitis B vaccine safely.
Immunizations have protected children for years, but vaccines only work if your child is immunized. It only takes 3 doses of the hepatitis B vaccine to protect your child for a lifetime.

Interactive Engagement
Interactive Engagement (IE) is achieved by questioning students or challenging them to think or to do something that requires thought. Students interact with each other, with the instructor as a coach or guide, or with guided materials created by the instructor (on paper or computer). A key ingredient is frequent and thoughtful interaction. Most of the quantitative research in science education regarding the effectiveness of IE in a learning environment comes from the physics community so these results are highlighted here. The references presented were carefully selected to be of generic interest to science teaching and hence are also quite relevant and useful as guidelines for teaching geoscience.
2002 ( This site may be offline. ) and 1998) defines:
(a) "Interactive Engagement" (IE) methods as those designed at least in part to promote conceptual understanding through interactive engagement of students in heads-on (always) and hands-on (usually)activities which yield immediate feedback through discussion with peers and/or instructors....
(b) "Traditional" (T) courses as those reported by instructors to make little or no use of IE methods,relying primarily on passive-student lectures, recipe labs, and algorithmic-problem exams.
Fig. 1. The % vs. % score for 62 courses, enrolling a total of 6542 students. Here, % = %—%, where the angle brackets "<....>" indicate an "average" over all students in the course. Points for high school (HS), college (COLL), and university (UNIV) courses are shown in green for Interactive Engagement (IE) and in red for Traditional (T) courses. The straight negative-slope lines are lines of constant "average normalized gain" . The two dashed purple lines show that most IE courses achieved 's between 0.34 and 0.69. The definition of , and its justification as an index of course effectiveness, is discussed in the text. The average of 's for the 48 IE courses is <<g>> 48IE = 0.48 ??? 0.14 (standard deviation) while the average of 's for the 14 T courses is <<g>> 14T = 0.23 ??? 0.04 (sd). Here, the double angle brackets "<<....>>" indicate an "average of averages." (Same data points and scales as in Fig. 1 of Hake 1998a.)

New Models of Physics Instruction Based on Physics Education Research: Part 2 (more info) (1996) contrasts IE classroom with traditional classrooms and gives several examples of Interactive Engagement (IE) techniques used in Physics courses. Modeling Methodology for Physics Teachers (more info) (1997) discusses the benefits of using model construction and development in an IE learning framework. Christian and Belloni (2001) describe the use of IE Web based models, simulations, and animations; Novak et al. (1999) describe the use of Just in Time teaching techniques for IE; and Mazur (1997)describes the concept of IE and Peer Instruction. Some examples of IE techniques use in physics education with relevance to geoscience educators include:
- Peer Instruction/Concept Tests (Eric Mazur, Harvard University)
- Interactive Demos (R. Thornton, Tufts; D. Sokoloff, U. of Oregon)
- Cooperative Problem Solving (Ken and Pat Heller, University of Minnesota)
- IE Modeling activities (Hestenes, Arizona State);
- IE Models, simulations, and animations (Christian and Belloni, Davidson College);
- Interactive Lectures and Just in Time Teaching, (G. Novak, Purdue; E Patterson, AF Academy; Andrew Gavin,Purdue; and Wolfgang Christian, Davidson College);
These teaching techniques were selected as examples since they directly apply to geosciences as well. Hake (2002) ( This site may be offline. ) also discusses ideas related to the transferability of IE to other disciplines and some precautions one must take in order to implemnt IE successfully.
Redish (2003) also emphasizes classroom structure and the importance of a student-centered approach to the successful implementation of IE learning. Students working in small groups with the instructor moving throughout the classroom is much more amenable to IE than a traditional lecture setting. Although it is possible with individual response systems and peer instruction techniques to create a quality IE environment for larger classes.
Although the above discussion is brief it is hoped that it gives a flavor for IE and references to begin further exploration.

Gurnee celebrates Warren High's boys soccer champions
Fire trucks, police cars and congratulations from the Gurnee village board were part of a formal recognition of Warren Township High School's first state champion boys soccer team.
Players and coaches from the championship squad were invited to village hall for the kudos and an official proclamation that trustees wasted no time in approving Monday night. Mayor Kristina Kovarik greeted the team in front of the village board dais and created a photo opportunity for family and friends in the audience.
"On behalf of the entire community and the village board and the village staff, we're very, very excited," Kovarik said.
About 15 minutes before the board session, the soccer squad arrived in style. They were brought to village hall with lights flashing and sirens blaring from police cars and fire trucks.
"I heard you guys had a sweet ride over here, which is very special because even I don't get rides on the equipment," Kovarik told the team.
On Nov. 3, the Warren Blue Devils beat Naperville Central 2-1 in overtime to win the Illinois High School Association's Class 3A title. The match was played at Lincoln-Way North High School in Frankfort.
Gurnee-based Warren joined Barrington High School as the only Lake County teams to win a boys soccer state championship.
"The Blue Devils' skill, teamwork and good sportsmanship, as well of that of their coaching staff and parents, are qualities that helped the team earn the state title and also make them outstanding members of the greater Gurnee community," the village board proclamation says in part.
Rousing applause filled village hall after Kovarik recited the proclamation.

With the clock ticking on a compromise, Elvis Dumervil agreed to accept a salary reduction from $12 million to $8 million for the 2013 season.
So why is the pass rusher no longer property of the Denver Broncos? NFL.com's Jeff Darlington reported the Broncos released Dumervil just before Friday's 2 p.m. MT deadline for restructured contracts because the necessary paperwork for the deal wasn't filed in time.
The Denver Post's Mike Klis was the first to report the news.
The Broncos gave Dumervil's agent, Marty Magid, a 1 p.m. MT deadline to accept the deal, according to NFL.com's Albert Breer, but the team didn't hear from Dumervil's camp until 1:25 p.m.
The two sides had reached a verbal agreement with 35 minutes to spare before the NFL deadline, but Dumervil's agent failed to send the fax through on time, according to Darlington. In a bind at 1:59 p.m. MT, the team was forced to waive Dumervil rather than get stuck with paying the full $12 million.
"We had to protect ourselves," a Broncos source explained to Darlington.
With one of the fax machines apparently on the fritz, the Broncos' front office frantically attempted to get Dumervil's agent to send the paperwork through a more modern channel. Those efforts were in vain, leading a team source to tell Darlington the agent made a "colossal mistake."
The easy solution would be for Dumervil simply to re-sign a one-year, $8 million contract with the Broncos. It's not that simple, though. In releasing Dumervil, the Broncos now take a $4.89 million salary-cap hit, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Friday.
Overall, they created a lot of cap room -- more than $7 million -- by releasing him, but the Broncos wind up having $4.89 million in "dead money" on the cap.
The gaffe has Elway and Co. "fuming," NFL Network's Michelle Beisner reported from the Broncos' facility. The Broncos' brass currently is trying to figure out the best course of action, according to Beisner.
Now that Wes Welker's contract has gone through, cap implications will make it more challenging to get Dumervil back in the fold under the original agreement.
While Dumervil is stuck in limbo, this debaculous fiasco leaves us wondering why 1980s technology is still the communication method of choice in 2013.
In a league in which players have traded in their playbooks for iPads, the logical inference is that the fax machine should have gone the way of the passenger pigeon by now.
Perhaps the Dumervil debacle will spur changes that will allow his 2014 contract to be sent via cellphone.Follow Chris Wesseling on Twitter @ChrisWesseling.

Running longer than a marathon is unhealthy... says Jacob Fuglsang
He starts with making the very broad generalization:
"For at tage spørgsmålet om sundhed først: Det er ikke sundt. Det ved deltagere og det er videnskabsfolk enige om."
"If we start with the question of health: It isn't healthy. Participants know it and scientists are in agreement"
The "it" he is referring to is racing a longer distance than a marathon. I will first caution Jacob that he should be more judicious with his generalisations. There is no reason to believe that hopping up to a 50k distance is more dangerous than a marathon. It depends on how one runs it. And it is dangerous to start an article saying all scientists agree when there is discussion of many different types of dangers and studies with meaningful evidence are lacking.
But what is it he and the expert, Michael Voigt, he interviews say are dangerous about these long races?
1. Kidney failure. He explains well that during races there is constant small bleeding in our muscles and, as a results, proteins are released into our blood which the kidneys have trouble clearing. This can lead to kidney failure.
My response: this is exactly true, but it happens every time we exercise and it is also part of the process of building new muscle. Muscle breaks down and is built up again at some point, but the waste products need to be eliminated. If one is dehydrated, one is always at risk of clogging the kidneys with the breakdown proteins (myoglobin), regardless of how far one runs. If one stays adequately hydrated during an ultra, one will not have kidney failure. It is really that simple.
An example from my own life (where I did it wrong). When I was doing a vascular surgery rotation, I was afraid of having to pee during the 7-8 hour surgeries, so I basically stopped drinking. After one of those surgeries, I went on an hour run and when I got home, I urinated something that resembled cola. I went to the ER and got IV fluid (now I would just drink a lot of water) and everything was ok. Luckily I got hydrated in time to avoid kidney damage from the proteins sitting there, stuck in the tubules (the real damage comes - and possible kidney failure - if they're not cleared out fairly quickly. I say "fairly" because it depends how much protein you've got stuck in there and what your glomerular filtration rate is to begin with).
I would say that kidney failure is not something that is in of it self dangerous in ultras, but is a running danger one should be aware of. The best way to avoid it in a race, especially when it is hot, is to drink lots of sports drink which is isotonic with our intravascular fluids (I'm talking veins here). Most sports drinks are close enough to this that they work. And they will also help one to avoid the other major risk of overhydration from water alone - hyponatremia. (One doesn't become low on salt unless one is sweating, so if you've stopped exercising, plain water is fine).
2. Fracture.
Agreed, obviously. But again, it is not a danger inherent to ultras. I would say one is more likely to break a bone by going out downhill skiing than running an ultra. I guess I would not even mention it as a specific risk. But then again, considering Steve Q's track record, it may be a particular risk to certain people.
3. Avoid painkillers.
Here Jacob simply didn't go into any sort of detail other than to say pain killers increase the risk of kidney failure. But there are different types of painkillers with different dangers.
Ibuprofen/Ibupren - this is the prototypical NSAID - decreases kidney function by inhibiting with the body's formation of prostaglandins, which are protective to the kidneys and stomach among other things. The same goes for all other NSAIDS. They should be avoided in races. I used to feel differently, but I read a very well-written, well-researched article in the New York Times, which changed my mind. They decrease performance and are potentially dangerous for our kidneys (and cause stomach upset - but that is a minor consideration when taken short term).
Tylenol - if you take 4 grams or less (that is 8 tablets) a day and you don't have a liver disease, there is no danger. The only problem is, it doesn't work for muscle pain. But if you have a headache, feel free to indulge. It is not a risky medication unless you overdose.
Opioids - no matter where you live, you need a prescription to get these and you can't even drive a car when taking them since they make you so drowsy. They also make you nauseated. They work for pain, but would be overall a huge detriment in an ultra due to the side effects. If you have pain that bad, just don't run.
Immunosuppressive steroids - ex. prednisone (like opioids banned from races and by prescription only) - these work for swelling and long term for certain types of pain. Some ultra runners have taken them to keep going days in a row. I actually do believe they are effective at reducing pain due to swelling. I agree, however, they should be banned from all sporting events as they prevent proper recovery and are quite dangerous to take long term. Short term, they present the same dangers as Ibuprofen, but even more pronounced, and can cause a psychotic-type reaction in certain people.
4. But the brain does fine.
Jacob discusses here how running benefits the brain. It is true that it is good for depression and mood and also for increasing one's pain threshold for the rest of the day (though as for ultras, I usually feel I have MORE pain afterwards :)), but I believe long-distance runs (marathons included) can also be dangerous for the brain. And this is not something I have any research to back up.
1-2 days after a very challenging athletic event (the longer and more physically exerting, the more profound it is), I have trouble thinking as clearly and acting as quickly as usual. Especially when I was working with patients daily in ophthalmology, I found I had a lot of trouble examining them. For anyone who works in a job where another's life/vision is potentially in danger, I would highly recommend taking at least one day off after a marathon/ultra/ironman to avoid potential harm to another. Exactly what this is caused by, I am uncertain, but believe it is shunting of essential nutrients away from the brain and to the recovering large muscle groups.
Psychiatrically, ultras are also dangerous because of the level of commitment they require to perform well in them. One may find oneself abandoning all one previously perceived as important (relationships, dedication to work, etc.) in order to find time to achieve the goal of a certain ultra - and that is probably the biggest danger of all. Trust me, I know. Plus the attitude of wanting to finish at all costs is dangerous for obvious reasons.
Finally, the overall statement that ultras are unhealthy, I think is false. I do not think there is evidence to support this either. I think ultras have risks, but I don't think that a few days or a few weeks after an ultra that one is less healthy. And I think training the heart and muscles to achieve that sort of endurance is healthy, at least physically.
That's all I have to say in response to Jacob.
If that was boring, here are some pictures from our tri club championship last weekend. The most notable part of the tri was the water being about 13 degrees C - I'm not going to look it up, but am wagering that is around 55 degrees F. Suprisingly, I LOVED it.

It was interesting being part of a medical research study at Western States last summer -- my BUN was really bad at Foresthill (mile 61 or so) but I felt fine -- other than my feet. The researcher who sent my results said she was glad I dropped at mile 72 since she thought I might have ended up in the hospital. I don't necessarily buy that, but do wonder whether that results in permanent damage or if I just recover or end up better off? I sort of thought maybe it wasn't super healthy, but I blame the heat not the distance :p

We seem designed to be able to sprint for at most a few hundred meters and to be able to walk for 12-15 hours a day - hunting and foraging, I suppose - it's the inbetween stuff that's risky. Prone to injury as I am, I've had as much trouble with 10K training as ultramarathons, it's just different types of stress lead to different types of injury and ultramarathons have an increased risk of accidents just because of the duration (and tiredness and running in the dark).
Running longer than a marathon is not necessarily unhealthy, but racing it is risky.

While all of this is way too scientific for me, and I run ultras because I love it emotionally (surely not because it's good for me), I have to honestly say, there is a lot about doing them (at competitive level anyway) that is not good for your body. Granted, if and when we are aware of dangers/complications, we can and should minimize them, but still those damages are absolutely unnecessary to begin with, and they still happen (as with other sports, indeed). Just like with food and diets, everything is good in moderation. There is nothing "moderate" training for and racing distances 50 miles and more (seems where the body break-down happens most). Having said that, it is not unhelathy either. It just what it is - causing unnecessary, potentialaly (key word here) hazardous conditions on ones body for the sake of mental/emotional well being. Again, most of those could be avoided/postponed/taken care of/minimized with correct approach, but 99% of us will make mistakes and will experience one of the things we might have not had we not being doing this kind of things. Now, of course, we happen to get sick and injured by living daily live as well:)

Olga, yeah it was kind of scientific, I guess - just to continue that trend, I will point out
to Danni that the most likely reason your BUN was elevated was due to simple dehydration (but I couldn't know for sure without a creatinine). I have a feeling that if you measured the BUN of everyone in an ultra they'd pretty much all be elevated even if their kidneys were fine.
Steve, I entirely agree with your evolutionary spin on it. But training also counts for something and we can get our bodies quite "ready" for an ultra by training right. It also helps to know what to watch out for and how to fuel (I'm still not that great at that - actually I'm not very good at the training part either).

my two cents - it's more of a bullshit article than an interesting one. i just hate generalizations about running. i think for any distance or terrain, it's all about your own goals and your own training - if you train smart and stay healthy during your training, if you set realistic goals and race within (or just beyond) your abilities, adjusting as necessary for the conditions (heat/cold etc), and if you allow yourself proper recovery time post-race - then there is NO reason for an unhealthy outcome - physically, mentally or emotionally (apart from the usual low feeling after a big event that I suffer from at least - but we all know the cure for that!). The problem is that only a small percentage of people follow this path... I sometimes do for definitely not always... you have to allow for spontaneity in this sport!

@Helen: "train smart... stay healthy... set realistic goals... race within abilities... adjust for conditions... allow proper recovery time..." If I did that, what would I ever have to blog about???

I just wanted to add my two cents about kidney damage.
In the article, Jacob Fuglsang essentially describes rhabdomyolysis ("rhabdo", if you're cool). Most ultrarunners are aware of rhabdo. There is a spectrum between mild dehydration and severe rhabdo needing dialysis. Most cases of rhabdo resolve with no other treatment than fluids.
However... does rhabdo cause permanent kidney damage? Certainly, kidney cells die in the process, but I wasn't sure if kidney cells regenerate or what they do. Hematologists are the smartest docs in the hospital, certainly, but sometimes they need a little help. I asked a nephrologist whether those cells that die and get peed out like casts (cola-colored urine) can regenerate.
He didn't know for sure. He thought that maybe a few % of the cells die and that they DON'T regenerate. So, theoretically, if you develop rhabdo 20 times, your kidneys have a lot of their reserve.
In healthy adults, you have so much spare function in your kidneys that you can live with just one (which is why you can donate a kidney). But as you get older, your kidneys slow down and even mild dehyration can result in kidney failure.
So rhabdo is no joke. You never know when that small percentage of kidney function may come in handy.

While I appreciate Helen and Fast Bastard both donating two cents, I can't help hoping there are people willing to donate larger amounts of money.

Danni, every time I read your statement "my BUN was really bad", I start laughing. I know I shouldn't. Even though "science people" are supposed to say B-U-N, I will always prefer plain old "bun".

Great post. There's so much crap out there about how good or bad running, any kind of running, is for you. I linked to this on my blog. :-)
- 24 September 2010 at 17:20
- SteveQ said...
I've always thought the problem with rhabdo was that, after the kidney cells fail, lack of fluid keeps toxins in contact with healthy cells too long and they start dying too, creating a cascade effect. I think the amount of regeneration depends upon the degree of damage done.
But then again, I only know that at Ice Age, I was relieved when my urine went from brown to pink after drinking a gallon of water. Bloody urine? No biggie. Rhabdo had me scared, though.
- 24 September 2010 at 18:41
- Helen said...
Obviously Steve - I wouldn't recommend ANY of those for you as that would conflict with the most important advice of not up your routine TOO much.
I laughed when I realized that BUN meant something other than half of Danni's ass. Sorry to be crude but I was thinking it must have been really painful if it forced you to drop... then I read SLG's comments...!

This is a very cool post. I think science has still a lot to learn about endurance running. We humans used to do A LOT more of it in our ancient past than now and I believe that with proper training/nutrition/hydration we should be just fine at very extreme distances. There is a pretty decent body of research showing that long distance running helped us not only survive but also to evolve to where we are now. And then we invented agriculture... but that's another story.

In one of my earlier post I described how to develop a custom WCF service. Today I'll cover how you can invoke the SharePoint WCF Service from jQuery. In my last post I described to develop a SOAP web service but for using WCF service from jQuery I'm going to use REST web service. For the list of service types and factories supported in SharePoint you can visit the link in MSDN. You can download source code from the link given at the end of the post.
Prepare the service to call from jQuery
Consider developing a service as described in my earlier post with the following changes:
- For using json I've used REST service factory 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Services.MultipleBaseAddressWebServiceHostFactory' as shown below. You can use SOAP factory but you then need to parse data in different way.
<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true"
Service="AccessSPServiceFromJQuery.MyService, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$"
Factory="Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Services.MultipleBaseAddressWebServiceHostFactory, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerRuntime, Version=188.8.131.52,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
Next you need to specify the return type to json in the service interface as shown below. I've specified both request and response type to json in WebInvoke attribute:
public interface IMyService
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
List<Product> SearchProduct(string productName);
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
bool Save(Product product);
Call Service with jQuery
The next step is to call the service with jQuery. The url of the service to be used in jQuery will be service url and method name. For example if you service url is '/_vti_bin/AccessSPServiceFromJQuery/MyService.svc' and the method name you want to invoke is 'Search' then the full url will be '/_vti_bin/AccessSPServiceFromJQuery/MyService.svc/Search'. As shown in the code below, you can invoke the service Search by passing the parameter in data field of ajax call of jquery
function getProductFromService(searchText) {
try {
type: "GET",
url: '/_vti_bin/AccessSPServiceFromJQuery/MyService.svc/SearchProduct',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: { "productName": searchText },
dataType: 'json',
success: function (msg) {
error: WCFServiceGetFailed
catch (e) {
alert('error invoking service.get()' + e);
function WCFServiceGetSucceeded(result) {
function WCFServiceGetFailed(error) {
alert('Service Failed.');
Download and use code
I've uploaded the code for this post in my skydrive. You can download the code from the link below. To use the code please ensure you have internet connection as I've used jqery from Microsoft CDN. The search functionality get all products matching name. You can try to search just by typing a single character. You can debug and test the code. In save I've just shown you can pass value from browser to service using POST method.

Joe Lauzon is returning to the cage.
The lightweight UFC fighter will compete Friday in a special lineup at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut.
It will be Lauzon's first fight since his son was born and treated for stage 4 neuroblastoma earlier this year.
And Lauzon knows he's already won.
"This whole year is a win as far as I'm concerned," said the ranked fighter from Bridgewater.
Joey Lauzon was born Jan. 12, and doctors found a tumor on his back when he began having trouble breathing. Seven months later, after intensive treatment, Joey is in remission – and his father is returning to the cage.
The event marks the UFC's first lineup in Connecticut since 2005. Several fights are planned for the night, which begins at 6:30. For tickets, visit Foxwoods.com/ufc.
Joe Lauzon is a 16-time UFC veteran and is tied with Anderson Silva for all-time Post-Fight bonus awards in the UFC. For more on Lauzon, visit JoeLauzon.com.

Cards prove they're still quite the resilient bunch
WASHINGTON -- On Monday night, the St. Louis Cardinals returned to the site of a terrific triumph. They were still more than good enough.

WASHINGTON -- On Monday night, the St. Louis Cardinals returned to the site of a terrific triumph. They were still more than good enough.
The Cardinals were visiting Nationals Park in our nation's capital. When they last played the Washington Nationals on this ground it was October 2012, the fifth and final game of a National League Division Series.View Full Game Coverage
The Cardinals made that event a lasting postseason memory, coming back from a six-run deficit, and coming back from a two-run deficit with two outs in the ninth to win, 9-7.
A victory of that kind in a game of that magnitude can help a team forge a very positive identity for itself. That victory, achieved in that way, represented to the Cardinals precisely what their best identity could be.
"You don't forget anything like that series, especially that last game," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said Monday. "You try and learn from the past. I don't know that it's something that any of us will ever see again. It's very rare to see a group of guys come back from a deficit like that in a high-tension situation like that in the postseason.
"It's something we've talked about, through the winter. I think it helped define what we think of this team and the resiliency."
But that was then and this is 2013. The Nationals are now a popular pick to win not just the NL East, but the NL pennant, and subsequently, of course, the World Series.
Here, the Nationals were being reminded constantly, whether they liked it or not, about what happened the last time the Cardinals came to play.
"Are we going to make it a bigger deal than what it is? No," said Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa of the St. Louis series. "Would it be nice to beat them? Yes."
Both teams entered this series 10-8. That's a 90-victory pace, but it was being considered, particularly in the District of Columbia, as a disappointment. Things didn't immediately become any less disappointing for the Nationals on Monday night when the Cardinals won, 3-2.
This game had some late drama, too, but the Cardinals didn't have to stage any epic comebacks, because their starting pitcher on this night, Shelby Miller, was so good. Miller may be just 22 years old, but he's 3-1 with a 2.16 ERA in four starts this season.
Here, in 6 2/3 innings, staying primarily with his mid-90s fastball, Miller struck out eight, while giving up just two runs on four hits and two walks. Had an infield hit leading off the fourth been properly scored as an error, Miller would have had no earned runs on his line.
"A lot like what we've seen so far -- a fastball that he had a good feel for at the top of the zone," Matheny said of Miller's performance. "He made some room for his other pitches after that, but he did a nice job of sticking with what he does best."
The problem in the first three weeks of this season for the Cardinals was that, with closer Jason Motte out with an elbow injury, the back end of the bullpen has been, to put it gently, unsettled. The Cardinals are working to get their Plan B closer, Mitchell Boggs, back in form. In the meantime, Matheny is in ad lib mode with his late relievers.
This is a situation that generally makes managing a second-guess waiting to happen. But Monday night, there was no crisis. With two outs and two on in a one-run game in the seventh, Joe Kelly took over for Miller. Pinch-hitter Chad Tracy hit a soft fly to short center, and Jon Jay made what could fairly be called a game-saving catch, sliding to take away what momentarily appeared to be a certain hit.
"I just said, 'Somehow this ball has to be caught,'" Jay said.
He noted that this play occurred after he grounded into a double play with the bases loaded in the sixth.
"As soon as the ball went up, I was like, 'Man, you've got to catch it,'" Jay said. "I'm just happy I was able to make a play."
Edward Mujica pitched a spotless ninth for the save, but it could be fair to say that Trevor Rosenthal had the harder job in the eighth, pitching to the top of the Washington order. Rosenthal gave up a hit and a walk, but struck out Ian Desmond on a 98-mph fastball to end the threat.
Somebody described the victory to Matheny as "uncomplicated."
"It didn't feel like that," the manager replied.
The Cardinals didn't need a comeback for the ages here, but they still demonstrated some of their best qualities. Coming off a disappointing late loss in Philadelphia on Sunday night, getting into Washington in the wee hours Monday morning, the Cards still showed up ready with their best shot against an exceedingly difficult opponent.
"You've seen this team be pretty resilient and bounce back quick," Matheny said. "I think the same thing goes with the successes. We don't get too high on them. Realize that today was a good day and try to duplicate it tomorrow."

His Grace Emmanuel (Abo-Hatab) of Brooklyn was a bishop of the Russian Metropolia as Bishop of Montreal from 1927 to 1931 and as Bishop of Brooklyn from 1931 to his repose in 1933.
Emmanuel Abo-Hatab served as archdeacon to Bishop Raphael of Brooklyn during the first decades of the twentieth century and was subsequently ordained a priest. On September 11, 1927, Fr. Emmanuel was consecrated Bishop of Montreal by Archbishop Aftimios and Bishops Theophilus and Arseny as vicar to Abp. Aftimios to administer the Canadian Mission to the Syrians.
In addition to his efforts organizing the churches of the Syrian mission, Bp. Emmanuel was the editor of the mission publication "Al Kalimat".
In 1931, Bp. Emmanuel was appointed Bishop of Brooklyn by Metropolitan Platon to serve the Syro-Arab bishopric. This occurred during the period of the attempt by Metr. Platon to form the "American Orthodox Catholic Church".
Bp. Emmanuel reposed on May 29, 1933 and was buried at the Antiochian Village in Pennsylvania where St. Raphael of Brooklyn is also buried.

I'm revising some electrical curriculum for a technical training program. In the curriculum students have to calculate values using Ohm's law and the equation
$$\text{Power = Current * Voltage}$$ or $$P = IV.$$
Some of my coworkers, who do not have science backgrounds, have started calling the equation P = IV "Watt's Law". When I told my co-worker it was appropriate to call P = IV the power equation she told me I was crazy and "everyone is calling it Watt's Law" according to her internet research.
Am I going crazy? I've only every heard P= IV referred to as the power equation (as it applies to circuits). I've never used the term "Watts Law" in the 10+ years I've been studying and teaching physics. An if I were to call something Watts law it would be in reference to content in an energy unit not an electricity unit.

Renowned actor, writer and director Harold Ramis died early Monday after struggling with an autoimmune disease. He was 69.
Ramis is known for his extensive resume of comedy classics, including "Ghostbusters," Illinois-based "Groundhog Day," "National Lampoon's Animal House," "Stripes" and "Caddyshack," among many others.
Ramis was born in Chicago and moved his family to the North Shore area in the '90s.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Ramis, who suffered from a rare disease involving swelling of blood vessels called autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, underwent surgery for diverticulitis in 2010. He suffered complications and spent time at the Mayo Clinic and Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. Ramis relapsed less than two years later, the Tribune reports, and never fully recovered.
The reaction to his death was immediate, from fans to actors.
"Sad to hear my friend Harold Ramis passed away," Billy Crystal tweeted. "A brilliant, funny, actor and director. A wonderful husband and dad. Big loss to us all."
"No no not Harold Ramis," Jon Favreau tweeted. "Worked for him years ago. He was the real deal. Growing up, his work changed my life. He will be missed."
Ramis got his start as head writer and actor for the TV series "Second City Television (SCTV)" and a writer for "Animal House." He pursued a film career that led to directing, writing and starring in dozens of movies that many consider classics.
"It is impossible to overstate the personal and professional influence that Harold Ramis has had on all of us at The Second City," said Andrew Alexander, CEO and executive producer of The Second City. "He was a natural leader, a trusted friend and so generous with his own talent that he made everyone he ever worked with look like a genius. We are devastated to lose him so young, but we were all enriched by the years we did get to partake of his particular brilliance."
"Groundhog Day" is a modern classic. A film with repetitive scenes that actually gets better with repeated viewings. #HaroldRamis
— Richard Roeper (@richardroeper) February 24, 2014
Harold Ramis was a brilliant, shining example for every comedy writer hoping to achieve excellence the field. He will be sorely missed.
— Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) February 24, 2014
In 2012, Ramis fed rumors of a third "Ghostbusters" movie.
"Well, there's been a lot of talk about a third Ghostbusters film, which has now become real. It's… I can say with some certainty that there will be a third movie."
