Hot Webinar: Top 5 Hybrid AD Management Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Letters to Redmond
This month, readers add to our list of free tools, and weigh in on virtual licensing and more.
It's very powerful and not very expensive (though not free).
Mike Hines

Safety First
Regarding the November Reader Review ("Microsoft
Virtual PC: Good Enough -- for the Price"), VMware and Virtual PC are
just proof of concepts in the "safe" layer.
What we need is a boot environment before any operating system that does the
job, either in the BIOS or bootstrap, which allows us to boot into profiles
or OSes as easily as a user logon. A place where our hardware can be
back in our control. Drives, memory, processors and networks could all be allocated
to an environment and kept safe from other environments.

Creative Licensing
Thanks for the excellent article on virtualization in the December 2006 issue
You Cash In with Virtualization Licensing?"]. I cover licensing for
Directions on Microsoft, and it's always nice to see someone else tackling this
difficult topic.
One thing that I might place more emphasis on is Datacenter (DC) server. The
rules have changed a bit for this, and it promises even more economies.
Before, DC was licensed through special OEMs, but it's now available on the
volume products list to run on any hardware. It's sold on a per proc basis and
costs about $3,000 per proc. If you can get eight virtual machines (VMs) on
one DC machine, the operating system licensing works out to less than $400 per
VM, compared with about $600 per VM on an Enterprise Server where you get four
"free" OS instances. When we're talking about eight VMs, we're talking
about saving $1,600 per machine.
Another small angle on this relates to hardware vendors. VMs and this type
of licensing opportunity could generate a lot of interest in premium hardware.
In the case I just mentioned, I could spend another $1,000 on the hardware and
still save money. However, I can't spend it on additional procs without incurring
the cost of an extra DC license. So that's where the calculations can get complicated.
I can run a single edition of enterprise edition on eight procs, I believe,
so if you need a lot of CPU per VM that could be cheaper. On the other hand,
if you don't need a lot of CPU time per VM and can cram a lot of VMs on one
high-end CPU, Datacenter might be the better choice.

Defender Beta Flaw
I read Doug Barney's column ["Vista
Flaw Found, No Surprise There," Jan. 2 Redmond Report Newsletter] and
it's well enough talking about Vista, but my worries about security were enlarged
by the notice on all of my Windows 2000 servers stating that the Defender Beta
had finished and I should click on the link to update the software. What it
didn't say was that you can't update. So, all of us using Windows Server 2000
of whatever flavor have succumbed to a marketing snafu. It's not as if it would
be difficult to allow Defender to work, because it was working until that very
second when the message appeared on the screen. Welcome to Dec. 31 indeed. And
now what?

text: You are raising your kids in New York City, is it harder to be a Free Range parent in the city? You have experienced the media from all angles, as a newspaper columnist, a news consumer and most recently as the sensational subject of a media storm. Has your view of the media changed as a result of this? What should we do to liberate our kids without going crazy with worry? What is "Free-Range Kids"? Free-Range Kids is a commonsense approach to parenting in these overprotective times. You have been dubbed "America's Worst Mom" by the media. How did you earn this title? In 2008, I let my then-9-year-old ride the subway by himself. He'd been asking us — my husband and me — to please take him someplace and let him find his way home by himself. So my husband and I discussed this. Our boy knows how to read a map, he speaks the language and we're New Yorkers. We're on the subway all the time.That's how it came to be that one sunny Sunday, after lunch at McDonald's, I took him to Bloomingdales — and left him in the handbag department.I didn't leave him unprepared, of course! I gave him a map, a MetroCard, quarters for the phone and $20 for emergencies. Bloomingdale's sits on top of a subway station on our local line, and it's always crowded with shoppers. I believed he'd be safe. I believed he could figure out his way. And if he needed to ask someone for directions — which it turns out he did — I even believed the person would not think, "Gee, I was about to go home with my nice, new Bloomingdale's shirt. But now I think I'll abduct this adorable child instead."

Swimming Pool Blog
by Rob Cox, November 2, 2009
Strange title for a blog post ~ but after trolling through site search terms, I was amazed at the number of searches conducted using keywords like "Pool Owner Demo" and "Demographics of Pool Owners". Now, these searches may have been conducted by our affiliates or industry folks, but nonetheless, there seems to be a demand for this type of information.
The data suggests that we have an audience that is DIY (Do It Yourself), loves to fix stuff up around the house, and apparently they also tend to be pet owners and automotive enthusiasts.
We segment our purchasers further into what type of pool they have, In ground, Above ground, Commercial or none. Further segments include their location (Sunbelt / Snowbelt), zip code analysis using Claritas Segmentation, and make and model of pool equipment used.
The interests of swimming pool owners range from Kentucky Derby to Nascar, a real slice of American pie. A fast growing segment of pool owners is the US Hispanic market. As demand for pools as a luxury item is waning in some caucasian markets, it is picking up a lot of steam among US Hispanics.
Pools are apparently still a big part of the "American Dream".

Best-selling author Stephen King was given a key to the city Monday evening.
King, who owns a home on Casey Key, was on stage at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall before a sold-out audience previewing his new book, "Under the Dome."
After the City Commission meeting ended, Mayor Dick Clapp and Commissioner Suzanne Atwell joined King on stage to present him with the key.
"I was listening to your conversation," Clapp told King. "It was a lot more interesting than the City Commission meeting we just came from."
King held the key high so the audience could see it, and he received a standing ovation.
"I always thought my key to Sarasota was my American Express card," King joked.

The 2009 edition of the Royal Rumble may not have had as many twists, turns or surprises as some previous events, but that's not to say it was lacking for compelling moments. Fans at Detroit's Joe Louis Arena were treated to a fateful decision, a surprising betrayal, some teamwork and several title changes as the night unfolded.
Though the WWE chose not to spin any angles around the entrance order this year, the Rumble match returned to its rightful place as the final match on the card. Rey Mysterio and John Morrison started out in the ring and both made fairly long runs, but the eliminations didn't start flowing until Vladimir Kozlov and Triple H entered the fray.
Grabbing onto the top rope to avoid elimination was the trendy move for this year, with many wrestlers pulling off the feat multiple times. Cool spots included two men hanging onto the same rope on the outside and battling it out and Mysterio using the backs of two eliminated competitors as stepping stones to avoid hitting the floor.
There's always at least one surprise entrant, and this year it was Rob Van Dam showing up at No. 25. He got a huge reaction from the crowd, which wasn't surprising considering he hails from Michigan.
RVD was one of a surprisingly accomplished group of 15 wrestlers still in the ring when Big Show entered at the final spot. Among the former World or WWE Champions still alive at that point were Triple H, Kane, Mysterio, Undertaker, Randy Orton and Chris Jericho.
Orton's Legacy group combined forces to eliminate Kane around the 53-minute mark, leaving three competitors from Raw and three from Smackdown. Undertaker eliminated Big Show and was subsequently repaid in kind, leaving Triple H at the mercy of Orton, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase.
The Game battled bravely against the odds, and even managed to whittle them down a bit by tossing out DiBiase. But when he turned his attention to Rhodes, Orton proved as opportunistic as ever, throwing out Triple H and keeping himself off the floor to win the Rumble. The victory not only pointed him toward WrestleMania but also likely fended off possible repercussions from his actions earlier in the week, when he kicked Vince McMahon in the head.
One of the WWE's top storylines kept on rolling and another erupted during the evening's other two big matches. Shawn Michaels attempted to aid his boss JBL in his World Heavyweight Title match with John Cena, but he did it his own way, superkicking both men and dragging JBL on top of the champ.
It didn't pay off for the scheming JBL though, as the ref was already out, and the delay in getting a new ref to the ring allowed Cena to kick out. He hoisted the challenger up for his finisher and escaped his belt.
WWE Champion Jeff Hardy wasn't so fortunate, dropping his title to Edge. It wasn't the outcome but the way it went down that was the surprise, as Matt Hardy looked like he was offering his brother a hand before turning and delivering the chair shot that sealed the match.
The next WWE pay-per-view is No Way Out on February 17th.
If you've been with us for the past few years, you know the drill by now. Nick's comments will be in plain type with Dale's remarks in italics.
Announcers Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler kick off the broadcast by telling us that the WWE is keeping Vince McMahon's condition private, and that Randy Orton will be reprimanded... but not until Monday night. Somehow I don't think I would be given even a one-day reprieve if I kicked my boss in the head.
Matt Hardy (challenger) vs. Jack Swagger (champion) -- ECW Title Match
Winner... and still ECW champion... Jack Swagger at 10 minutes and 26 seconds.
Match Rating: 7/10
A random assortment of wrestlers and crew members watch silently as Orton enters the arena. It's like he's Amish and he's being shunned.
Melina (challenger) vs. Beth Phoenix (Champion) w/ Santino Marella -- Women's Title match
I make a lot of comments about the overall state of women's (oops, Divas') wrestling in the WWE, but this match is about as good as possible with the current roster. Santino Marella accompanies his woman while sporting a new shirt that plays off the Ferrari symbol. Nice. Also nice is Phoenix putting Melina in kind of a reverse half-crab, then kicking her in the head with her own foot. The end comes after a double reversal of finishing moves, as Melina rolls up Phoenix to take the title.
Winner... and new Women's Champion... Melina at 5 minutes and 56 seconds
Match Rating: 6.5/10
A video package takes us back through the highlights of the ongoing JBL-Shawn Michaels-John Cena drama. JBL drops in on Shawn Michaels, who is looking grim. Layfield tells his employee that there's no reason to feel conflicted. If Shawn ensures JBL goes on to WrestleMania as the World Heavyweight Champion, he'll receive all the money owed to him right away and won't have to work for JBL after tonight. On top of that, JBL promises Michaels a spot in the Rumble match so he still has a chance to do his thing at WrestleMania. As HBK weighs everything over, he turns and finds the Undertaker staring at him with this bit of wisdom: "Sometimes it's hell getting to heaven."
My friends point out that the announcers are going out of their way not to call Cena's moves the FU and STFU, probably because those names aren't family-friendly. Cena scores the first near falls, but Michaels' first distraction on the outside allows his boss to bounce the champ off the steps and gain the upper hand. The inevitable rally sees Cena use a series of shoulderblocks to set up the Five Knuckle Shuffle, but JBL gets up and escapes from Cena's finisher. Cena hits a drop toehold and locks in the STF. Michaels is right there to offer aid, and Cena is thrown out of the ring. He runs into a Clothesline From Hell when he returns but manages to kick out. JBL tries a big boot that catches the ref when Cena moves, and a double clothesline leaves both men down and HBK with a decision to make. He drops JBL with Sweet Chin Music, then wipes the smile off Cena's face with another one for the champ. HBK drags JBL on top of Cena and heads for the back. It takes a while for a new ref to get to the ring, enough time for Cena to kick out at two. The champ gets the challenger up and drops him down with the move formerly known as the FU to retain his belt.
Winner... and still World Heavyweight Champion... John Cena at 15 minutes and 29 seconds.
Match Rating: 6/10
Jeff Hardy (champion) vs. Edge w/ Chavo (challenger) -- WWE Title Match
Winner... and new WWE champion ... Edge at 19 minutes and 15 seconds.
Match Rating: 8/10
Royal Rumble Match
Most eliminations: Triple H with six.
Shortest time in ring: Santino Marella at about one second.
Longest time in ring: Triple H at just over 51 minutes.
Longest time in ring without an elimination: Finlay at just under 32 minutes.
Dating back to last year, John Morrison has been the Royal Rumble for 50 minutes without eliminating anyone.
Vladimir Kozlov entered in impressive fashion, eliminating three men in less than a minute. His momentum was short-lived though, as he was soon dispatched by Triple H.
Rey Mysterio may have set a record for most near eliminations. One time he stepped on The Miz and Morrison while they were on the floor to stay alive.
It will be interesting to see if the WWE credits Santino for breaking the record for shortest time in the Rumble. It sure looked like he was only in the ring for about a second. The previous mark for futility was two seconds by The Warlord.
Several feuds were extended, as Knox and Mysterio eliminated each other and Big Show took out the Undertaker after he had already been bounced.
One fan in the front section on the TV side held a sign that read "Welcome back Christian." Swing and a miss!
Total Event Time: 2 hours and 44 minutes
Event Rating: 8/10
If brother can turn on brother, then surely in the middle of a PPV report someday, either Dale Plummer or Nick Tylwalk will betray the other. E-mail Dale at email@example.com or Nick at email@example.com with your guess on who would come out on top in their feud.

As a result, I've always had a fondness for the plastic flamingo. This pair is from Playmobil.

Large portions of our nation's history focus on individuals in positions of prominence, prestige, or power. To a very large degree, literally thousands of men and women who have lived in America are relatively unknown and are not found in college textbooks. However, this in no way negates or diminishes their contributions to our past. Not all history involves "glamour and glitz." Much of it is rather the account of "grit" in the face of obstacles or insurmountable odds. During Women's History Month, we decided to highlight a few lesser known stories found in the collections of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
One such story is that of Nellie Pucell, who at age 9 sailed from Liverpool to Boston with her sister and parents in May of 1856. The family traveled on the ship Horizon. The Mormon family traveled by train to Iowa, then was forced along with hundreds of other Utah-bound pioneers to pull handcarts, since they were too poor to afford a wagon. By October both Nellie's mother and father were dead from exposure to the cold and hunger. Nellie and her sister Maggie, age 14, made it into the Salt Lake Valley, but with badly frozen limbs. Nellie's feet were soon amputated without anesthetic, and her legs never healed properly. She later married William Unthank and reared six children. A bronze monument of a girl stands on the campus of Southern Utah University in Cedar City in honor of her sacrifice.
|Article from Philadelphia Telegraph
Hester Massey of Buncombe County, North Carolina, is another woman who triumphed over adversity. Her tale is recounted in newspapers including the Germantown, Philadelphia (PA) Telegraph on March 23, 1831 (shown at right). Hester was born without arms and legs, but she possessed a "sound mind" and "good health." Remarkably, her physical disabilities failed to discourage her from the love of reading, so much so that it is said she would turn the leaves of a book with her mouth or tongue. She also swept floors by "holding a straw broom between her head and shoulder."
Another story--this one a tragedy--is that of Caroline Witmer, who lived with her husband Henry and their children at 605 Dauphin Street in Philadelphia during the late 1800s. At this time, the City of Brotherly Love was struck with a plague of scarlet fever, or Scarlatina. According to the Federal 1870 Mortality Schedule, as well as the Philadelphia Public Ledger for the month of February, Caroline Witmer's five young children (four girls and one boy) died of the disease within a few days. One can only imagine the grief this mother endured.
A heartbreaking tale comes to us from September 1869. In that month, a ship load of Irish immigrants from Londonderry arrived here in Philadelphia. On board was Mary Boyle, age 70, who according to the 1870 Mortality Schedule for June 1, 1870, died from "old age, immediately after landing, of fatigue." She is buried Old Cathedral Cemetery.
There are stories to be told of the common woman, both young and old, that await the scholar and the public. During Women's History Month, we should reflect not only upon famous women and their contributions, but the millions of little known heroines, from our own mothers to countless others, who on a daily basis continue to sacrifice for the welfare of us all.

No sign of defensive end Richard Seymour as the Raiders went through warmups and drills Thursday preceding their last practice before getting the weekend off.
As per bye week custom, players will beat a hasty retreat from the locker room following practice, some catching flights home, others remaining the area to relax.
Wide receiver Chaz Schilens and guard Robert Gallery continued to practice with the team, with the latter almost assuredly rejoining the starting line up at left guard when the Raiders host the Kansas City Chiefs Nov. 15.

The one constant in the NFL is change. Every season, it seems, there is a churn at the top — no team has repeated as Super Bowl champion for the past dozen years, for instance — and the rules are constantly being clarified and tweaked, mostly in the name of safety.
This season is no different, as several key players have changed teams, while other players are nearing record-breaking milestones.
A look back, and forward:
Rule changes
Chop blocks: The loopholes have closed, and now all chop blocks are illegal. A chop is a two-man, high-low block that typically occurs at the line of scrimmage when one offensive player holds a defender...

I thought the book would be about a party because the cover showed the girl was sewing a dress. I liked the book because I have Tinkerbelle movie that I like. I like fairies because I have a collection and I love to read about them and check them out in computers. I have a fairy eraser and a pencil case. I like that Hem was very nice to the other fairies to make them all a dress for the party. I would have Hem make me a dress like Tinkerbelle's. The author created this book because girls like fairies and they like dolls. The author that created this book was very happy because other people may like the book and create the same book but different.
I want to recommend this book to my best friend Nila because she likes Tinkerbelle and she likes dresses. Alice would also like this book because she likes drawing fairies with dresses. Someone who would really really really really really like this book is Karina.

YORK, PA – The William Paterson women's basketball captured the championship of the 2011 Coaches vs. Cancer at York College on Friday as the sixth-ranked Pioneers downed the host Spartans 74-61 in the tournament title game. The Pioneers remain perfect as they improve to 12-0 while the Spartans have their nine game win streak snapped as they fall to 9-2 overall.
The Pioneers jumped out to an early 6-0 lead before the Spartans went on an 11-2 run to seize the 11-8 advantage. The Spartans would match that three-point lead a few possessions later but Paterson slowly pushed out to a 26-19 lead with 6:25 left in the first half. The Pioneers increased the advantage to eight on an April Smith three pointer but York responded with a 7-0 run, cutting the WPU led to just one at 31-30 with 1:46 remaining in the half. WPU quickly scored two straight baskets pushing the lead to five before a pair of York free throws trimmed it to three. Kierra Walker ended the half with a jumper as the Pioneers took a 37-32 advantage to the break.
William Paterson came out of the half and looked poised to blow the Spartans out of Wolf Gymnasium. The Pioneers opened the stanza with a 12-3 run, increasing their lead to 49-35. Junior Brittany Hicks drilled a pair of free throws to stem the tide. In fact, Hicks' free throws started a 13-2 run that drew the Spartans to within three at 51-48 with 10:40 left.
Then came the biggest play in the game as the Pioneers had a missed shot that looked like had been rebounded by York only to have the ball glance off guard Brittany Percich and into the hands of Smith who converted the lay up and the free throw to double the lead back to six. Smith's three point play kick started an 11-0 run that pushed the Pioneer lead back to 14 at 62-48. That proved to be too much for the Spartans, who rode their starters for more minutes in Thursday's semifinals and again in the tournament championship, to overcome.
After the big Pioneer run, the Spartans managed to get the lead down to nine twice but weren't able to get any closer as the Green and White's lengthy win streak was snapped.
Turnovers were a big problem for the Spartans as they committed 26 miscues that William Paterson turned into 29 points. The 26 turnovers are the second-highest total of the year and the Pioneers made York pay like no other team had previously this year.
Paterson also hurt York on the offensive glass as the Pioneers had 19 offensive rebounds which led to 21 second-chance points. Overall, WPU held a 42-40 edge on the glass. Those offensive rebounds also led to William Paterson holding a 71-58 edge in total shots for the game.
The Pioneers were powered by tournament MVP Smith as the forward had another double-double with 23 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. She was 8-for-16 from the floor including 2-for-3 from three. Smith also converted all five of her free throw attempts while she blocked five shots and had four steals. All-American guard BriAnna Lucas, who also earned a spot on the All-Tournament team, finished the game with 23 points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals. Lucas was 7-for-18 from the floor and 9-for-10 from the line. Dana Jeter was the third Pioneer in double figures with ten points while she also had five rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals.
York was led by All-Tournament team selection Kristen Haley as the sophomore forward notched her fourth double-double of the year and the 11th of her career. She tallied 16 points while she also had a team-high 11 rebounds. Haley was 7-for-12 from the floor including 1-for-3 from three. She also converted her lone free throw attempt. Hicks led York in scoring with 17 points while she also had seven rebounds. Hicks was 4-for-8 from the floor and 9-for-10 from the free throw line. Senior April Sparkman also recorded a double-double for York as she notched 15 points and 10 rebounds. The senior guard also had a season-high four blocked shots in addition to four assists.
The Spartans finished the game shooting 37.9% from the floor and 16.7% (2-for-12) from three. York was solid at the stripe, knocking down 15-of-20 (75%). Paterson was slightly more accurate from the field as they shot 38% including 18.2% (2-for-11) from three. The Pioneers were deadly from the line, converting 18-of-19 (94.6%) in the win.
FDU-Florham captured the consolation game in overtime, outlasting Ursinus 84-82 in overtime.
The all-tournament team featured Smith as the MVP while Lucas and Haley earned berths on the team. Florham's Jalessa Lewis and Ursinus' Diamond Lewis rounded out the All-Tournament squad.
The Spartans return to action on Thursday evening when they travel to Elizabethtown College to face the Blue Jays in a non-conference tilt. Game time in Elizabethtown is set for 7:00 pm.

|These are actually Hugh's disastrous dumplings, but we ate all of my mum's dumplings so fast there was no time to take a photo, so this is just to give you the idea
Gay men don't like me. I've always suspected this but lately I've come to realise that it's just a fact.
Actually, it's not that they don't like me, it's that they are totally indifferent to me, which I think is in some way worse. I am to a gay man what a 65 year old woman is to a 23 year-old builder from Essex: invisible.
I used to try to be fabulous and bitchy and engaging and flamboyant, in a sort of desperate caricature of what I thought a gay man might want in a woman - and it briefly aroused a faint flicker of interest from one or two gay men. But it was unsustainable and I soon slid back into my natural persona: anti-social, chilly, beady, unsympathetic. And the loose grip I had on their interest melted away like the only two snowflakes of a mild winter on a warm car bonnet.
Everyone else I know has a gay friend - at least one. Everyone. Even my 85 year-old Swiss-German grandmother. "I vent to Lausanne last veekend," she will say. "Wiz my PANSY FRIEND Alain G-!" and she will shriek with delight at the thought of neat little Alain with his kerchief and lovely manners and expertise in early Renaissance ceramics.
Even my husband has a huge gay following and gay men have always thought he was great. At parties I usually find him talking to some very high-powered gay man, who will be standing there in a £5,000 suit laughing, showing off a lot of very perfect teeth and sighing and saying "Oh Giles." And then I come up and stand there and smile, feeling like a frump, and the high-powered gay man's eyes will slightly glaze over when I say something. And then eventually I'll excuse myself to the loo and let them get on with it.
"Yeah that's a surprise they don't like you," said my friend Wendy, who has, I think, almost exclusively gay friends. "Because, you know, you can be quite a bitch and they quite like that."
I ought to take lessons off my mother: she is a gay magnet extraordinaire. But she's not a bitch. She just LOVES gay men, or anyone camp or anyone fabulous. I'd say it's because she's an artist, but she's not like that - she's not all dope-smoking and far-out, man - she's just a very talented figurative draughtswoman. And by that I mean she draws things and they look like what they are. And sculpture, ooh you should her sculptures. But there must be a flamboyant, "modern", arty side to her that makes all these super dooper gay men flock to her door.
I ought to listen to my mother more, in general. Like the other day, I wanted to make dumplings for a stew but instead of ringing my mother, who makes great dumplings, I looked up a recipe in Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Meat Book for a recipe and they were TERRIBLE! Hard and nasty.
So I meekly emailed my mother for her recipe and she sent it back and they came out perfectly - like little clouds. Perhaps now I can make dumplings like clouds a gay man will want to be my friend. But I doubt it.
My mother's dumplings
Makes about 8
"6oz SELF RAISING flour,
3oz suet.
Salt & pepper,
lots of parsley (optional, but good with stewed lamb).
Mix to a soft, not too dry consistency"
[N.B. how my mother uses CAPITAL LETTERS about the self-raising flour, as I would. DNA: not a made-up thing.]
You can either cook these in a steamer, if you've got one, for 25 minutes - or rest them on top of your stew for the last 25 minutes of its cooking time.

Oct. 3, 2011
NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. – The Little East Conference announced that men's soccer player Stefanos Galouzis (Watertown, MA) has been named Offensive Player of the Week, while women's soccer players Samantha Place (Newton, NJ) and Krista Ledin (Bridgewater, MA) have been named Defensive Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week respectively.
For Galouzis, his first conference weekly honor comes after leading the Beacons to a pair of wins, including a 3-0 Little East Conference win over the University of Southern Maine on Saturday. To start off the week, Galouzis netted two goals in the 2-0 non-conference win over Becker College. Against Southern Maine, Galouzis assisted the first goal of the match, and then sealed the Beacons first conference win with his goal in the 61st minute. On the year, Galouzis leads UMass and the Little East Conference with eight goals and 18 points. He has also managed two assists as well this season.
Place was also a first-time LEC weekly honor recipient this week as she helped the Beacons to a 1-1 week. The foundation to the UMass Boston defense, Place held nationally ranked Wheaton College (MA) for 108 consecutive minutes in last week's double overtime match. On Saturday, Place completely neutralized the University of Southern Maine, as they were held to a mere four shots. The Beacons went on to defeat the Huskies by the final score of 4-0.
Ledin's Rookie of the Week honor is her second straight, as the freshman notched another hat trick against a Little East Conference opponent on Saturday. Ledin, who leads the team and the conference in goals scored with 10 and points with 21 notched two of her three goals in the first 45 minutes of Saturday's match. She then sealed the victory in the 81st minute on her final goal of the day.

It's official: This is Beyonce's world, and everyone else is just living in it. After the Grammy winner's lip-synching controversy at President Barack Obama's inauguration in January, the pressure was on for her to deliver a live, showstopping halftime performance at the Feb. 3 Super Bowl in New Orleans. And deliver she did.
As the lights came up on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, fiery pyrotechnics lit up the field to reveal the 31-year-old singer standing alone on a platform. Stunning as ever in a Rubin Singer black leather-and-lace bodysuit and knee high Proenza Schouler stiletto booties, the gorgeous star kicked things off with a high-energy performance of "Crazy in Love," complete with an army of leather-bustier-wearing backup dancers. She followed that with a similarly explosive version of "Til the End of Time." At that point, a screen appeared behind her, with holograms of the singer and her entourage performing "Baby Boy."
Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for. As Us Weekly revealed exclusively in January, Beyonce was joined onstage by her Destiny's Child bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland (who wore an Emilio Pucci black leather bodysuit). Midway through "Baby Boy," the leather-clad duo rose up from the ground and launched into a performance of "Bootylicious," followed by "Independent Women." It was the trio's first live show together since 2007, but their chemistry was as fierce as ever.
Beyonce continued the epic set with her smash hit "Single Ladies," for which everyone in the Superdome was given light-up rings. Her army of dancers grew until the entire stage was filled with people doing the now-famous routine. As she sang, "If you like it, then you should've put a ring on it," the stadium lit up with flashing lights.
The big finish was a stunning solo rendition of her hit "Halo." By the time she belted out the last note, the applause was deafening.
"Thank y'all!" she shouted into the adoring crowd. "Thank you so much for this opportunity!"
Earlier in the day, Jay-Z's wife opened up about the significance of her performance via a YouTube video. "I was on my way here and I was looking at the Superdome, and I felt very proud because I know this is my legacy," she said in the clip.
"I'm really happy it's in the South…It feels nice to be where my family is from — Louisiana," she continued. "It feels like everything is coming back around full circle."

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A former manager at one of the nation's largest grain cooperatives has pleaded guilty to accepting $480,000 in bribes from an Iowa farmer in exchange for deep discounts on products.
Former West Central Co-Op sales manager Chad Hartzler faces a 51-month prison sentence under the terms of a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office.
U.S. District Judge Mark Bennett will decide whether to accept the plea deal at Hartlzer's sentencing hearing, which hasn't been set. Hartzler was released after pleading guilty to wire fraud during a hearing Thursday in Sioux City.
He admitted to taking bribes from Lake View farmer Bill Wollesen starting in 2005. In exchange, he secretly gave Wollesen discounts on crop seed and farm chemicals.
Wollesen has not been charged and he denies the bribery allegations.

In a disturbing story (that comes with a happy ending!), the bomb squad of Amherst, New York responded to reports of a suspicious package but instead of figuring out which color wire to cut, they found a living cat sealed inside the box.
The package was actually x-rayed first (I guess they didn't hear any meows) to reveal the cat inside. Amazingly, the cat, named Truffle, wasn't malnourished, wasn't dehydrated and didn't even need any sort of veterinary care. The cat, originally a stray, was adopted by an owner who lost her while moving and has been re-united with her after this trapped in a box debacle.
No one knows how the cat got inside the mysterious package, how long she was inside or who the sick bastard was who put her there in the first place. We're just glad she's okay. [WIVB via Neatorama]

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Four days after a radiation alert shut the nation's only underground nuclear waste repository, an independent monitoring center said Wednesday it found radioactive isotopes in an air sensor about a half mile from the southeastern New Mexico plant.
A filter from a monitor northwest of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad had trace amounts of americium and plutonium, said Russell Hardy, director of the Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and Research Center.
The levels are the highest ever detected at or around the site, but are far below those deemed unsafe by the Environmental Protection Agency, he said.
The readings come on the heels of a radiation alert that closed the plant to all non-essential personnel last weekend after an underground sensor detected airborne radiation. Department of Energy officials say most operations remain closed, but they have not released any further information.
Two weeks earlier, a truck hauling salt in an underground mine at the site caught fire, shuttering operations for a few days. Officials said that fire was in an area separate from where nuclear waste is stored. In both instances the DOE has said public safety has not been threatened.
Hardy said his center, an arm of New Mexico State University that monitors air, ground and water samples from in and around WIPP, didn't get the filters from the underground radiation sensor that was activated Saturday until Tuesday. He said he expects to have readings from that and an air sampling station closer to the plant next week.
He did note, that a second air sampling station 11 miles from the plant showed no radioactive particles.
Hardy said the center gets filters every day from sampling stations, and there have only been four incidences in the past in which radiation was detected. All were so low that "you could eat it and it wouldn't hurt you."
The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is the nation's first and only deep geological nuclear repository. It takes plutonium-contaminated waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory and other defense projects, and buries it in rooms cut from underground salt beds.


text: There was a post recently on the GGA website here in Georgia about the ET power trail and how it affected the business owners in the area in Nevada where it is located. Apparently it was deactivated for a while until a few business owners along the trail had their businesses really affected by the closing down of the cache trail and they appealed to the DOT and had it reactivated once again with some of the more traffic dangerous ones along the trail being moved to a more safer area. I have included a video about it but was more interested in maybe anyone, including Mike Marino's input, as to what if any impact the power trail in the North Maine woods had on any of those businesses in that area. Has anyone's business been impacted because of this power trail? Just curious.

Millwall boss Kenny Jackett has recalled striker Lewis Grabban from his loan spell at Brentford in time to bolster the squad for the visit of Norwich.
Grabban, who only last week agreed to extend his stay at Griffin Park until the New Year, will go straight back into the squad to face the Canaries with Steve Morison and Theo Robinson out and Neil Harris doubtful.
Morison will be absent through suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season at Doncaster in the 2-1 defeat.
Meanwhile, Robinson faces knee surgery and is unlikely to recover in time to play again before the end of his loan spell from Huddersfield.
Harris is struggling from a foot injury and could miss out as the club look to return to winning ways following back-to-back league defeats.
Norwich will be without midfielder Andrew Crofts for the trip.
The Wales international salvaged a point at the weekend with his last-minute equaliser against Burnley but still found time to pick up his second yellow card of the afternoon in the dying seconds to be sent off.
He will therefore serve a one-match ban at the New Den so David Fox or Matthew Gill will get a game in the middle.
Left-back Stephen Smith is also missing after he picked up a hip injury at the weekend so Simon Lappin is likely to fill in with Anthony McNamee coming into the side on the wing.
Fellow full-back Adam Drury is out with a calf strain which will keep him out for at least a fortnight, while central defenders Zak Whitbread and Michael Nelson (both ankle) are still sidelined.
Midfielder Andrew Surman remains a casualty with a knee injury and Stephen Hughes is making good progress as he recovers from a recent ankle operation but will miss the next few games at least.

Area Students to Display Talents at Scholastic Art Exhibit
PLAINVIEW – The work of hundreds of students from across the South Plains will be on display in one place beginning January 23 when the 2007 West Texas Regional Scholastic Art Competition and Exhibit opens at Wayland Baptist University.
On exhibit in the Abraham Art Gallery in the Mabee Learning Resources Center, the show will feature around 450 works from students in Lubbock, Plainview and the surrounding communities. A variety of media are represented, from traditional paintings, drawings and sculptures to mixed media, graphic design, product design and more.
The exhibit represents the top pieces chosen by the judging panel, who spend an entire day voicing their votes for a literal parade of artwork being held up by volunteers and gallery workers. The judges have literally seconds to make a decision on the piece and determine whether it earns a Gold Key – the highest honor – or the Silver Key or an honorable mention. All those pieces are included in the exhibit, with pieces literally wallpapering the gallery spaces.
But at one point, event organizers admit they weren't sure what would happen, given the winter weather that plagued the area.
"This year's Scholastic Art Competition could qualify as an extreme sport, as we had record ice storms on the entry day as well as the judging day," said WBU art professor Dr. Candace Keller, curator for the gallery and organizer for the competition. "Teachers and judges braved the treacherous ice-covered roads and freezing temperatures, carrying artworks from all parts of the West Texas region. We were so blessed to have no accidents or injuries reported, and it clearly shows the dedication of our area teachers to the arts and their students!"
According to Keller, the region covers 14 counties and includes such cities as Post and Denver City, Muleshoe to the west and north to Dimmitt. Wayland has hosted the We st Texas Regional competition for about 10 years.
Of the Gold Key winning pieces, the judges then choose five they deem the best to receive the coveted American Vision Award. Those artists are able to send a portfolio of work to the next level of competition and compete for special scholarships, and one piece from the region is guaranteed to be displayed at the national exhibit. All Gold Key pieces advance to the next level, and from that pool, pieces have the chance to be chosen to be exhibited in the national display in the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C.
"The artwork this year is exceptional and varied, and the judges selected more than 450 works for the exhibition," Keller added. "I would encourage everyone to come and view this remarkable show and catch the vision of our young Texas artists."
The regional exhibit will be on display through Feb. 9, and a reception and awards ceremony is planned for 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 27 at the gallery and the adjoining atrium. The public is invited to attend and view the works at any time during regular library hours: Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday 2-5 p.m. For more information, call the gallery at 291-3710.
