Microsoft is moving its Dynamics ERP (enterprise resource planning) applications to its Azure cloud platform, the company announced Monday at the Convergence conference in Atlanta. The belated move represents a major change for the way Microsoft sells Dynamics, which has traditionally been sold through partners in on-premises and hosted form.
The next major releases of Dynamics will run on Azure, and customers "will be able to move to the cloud on their own terms," Microsoft said in a statement.

Industry observers have been wondering for years whether Microsoft would make such a move, and Kirill Tatarinov, corporate vice president of Microsoft Business Solutions, alluded to the speculation during a keynote speech Monday morning.
He sought to calm any partners and customers in attendance who might have fears about what the cloud option will mean for their businesses. "Whatever we do, we bring the ecosystem with us," Tatarinov said. "It is hugely important for us to take the entire ERP ecosystem into the cloud. All those people who make those changes and bring Dynamics to you today will be there in the cloud."
Microsoft is also planning this week to discuss how partners can profit from the Azure deployment model. For one, partners will be able to sell "cloud-enabled" vertical applications, services and add-ons through the Dynamics marketplace. Microsoft has also released a Cloud Partner Profitability Guide for partners.
That said, Microsoft has no real choice but to embrace partners for cloud-based ERP, given the software's added complexity and the general need to fine-tune it for each customer. It would also be unwise for Microsoft to simply shunt partners aside, because of the vast, in-place sales channel they provide.
The eventual addition of an Azure deployment model will heighten Microsoft's competition with companies like NetSuite, which sells a cloud-based ERP system, as well as SAP, which has introduced Business ByDesign, an on-demand software suite.
The first Dynamics ERP application to get the Azure treatment will be NAV, with a major release currently scheduled for 2012, Tatarinov told press and analysts after the keynote.
Azure Dynamics deployments will incorporate multitenancy, an architecture that differs from traditional hosting in that it allows many customers to share the same instance of an application, with their data kept private. This allows vendors to deliver upgrades frequently and more easily to customers, and provides economies of scale that can potentially bring down costs.
Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff, one of the industry's most vocal proponents of the cloud computing model, has compared the architecture to an office building, where many different companies have private, confined offices, but share electric lines, plumbing, structural supports and other infrastructure components.
While multitenancy remains an important technology for cloud computing, its relevance is waning as the industry, including Microsoft, makes advances in virtual machine management, Tatarinov contended.
Microsoft's experience gained by delivering CRM Online at scale, along with those technical advancements, will help drive down the cost of ERP in the cloud, he said.
But little information about pricing for the cloud versions of Dynamics ERP was disclosed Monday. "The types of things we do may be different for different products," Tatarinov said. However, many customers are already paying for the software as a subscription through partners, he noted. The Azure Dynamics products will also be available via subscription, he said.
Microsoft is not expecting a wholesale migration of customers to the cloud, Tatarinov said. "In ERP, you will see mostly mixed workload deployments."
For example, a customer may want to deliver ERP to its field services representatives via Azure but keep the core back-end ERP system in house.
The process of customizing Dynamics ERP for Azure should also be smooth for partners currently building extensions and vertical applications for other deployment models, Tatarinov said. A new configurator tool for the upcoming Dynamics AX 2012, which will also run on Azure, provides "enormous power" for tweaking the software without writing code, he said. Developers can continue using C# or other .NET languages to tweak the software as well, he said.
Microsoft is planning to give partners and customers guides and methodologies for writing code that will run either on-premises or in the cloud, he said. But it's always possible that an existing customization won't be perfectly compatible with cloud deployment, depending on how it is written.
Overall, having the cloud deployment option makes a difference on net new sales, or when existing customers are looking to do something new, said Frank Scavo, managing partner of the IT advisory firm Strativa.
But current Dynamics users might be comfortable with their implementations and "don't have a driving need to move those systems to the cloud."
Still, NetSuite and others are applying pressure that Microsoft must combat, Scavo said.
Also Monday, Microsoft gave showgoers a look at Dynamics AX 2012. The beta version of the ERP application will be available this month, with a general release expected in August, Microsoft said.
Features in AX 2012 include a series of "Unified Natural Models," described by Microsoft as "a library of business processes that reflect real-world situations."
AX 2012 also features the "role-tailored" user experience Microsoft has been building into its business software. The approach configures the application's look and feel depending on the particular user's job.
In addition, Microsoft announced that Dynamics SL 2011 and the on-premises version of Dynamics CRM 2011 are both generally available, and that Dynamics GP 2010 R2 will be generally available on May 1.
Although Microsoft has big plans, ERP and CRM software currently represents a small fraction of its overall revenues, much of which comes from the Windows OS and Office productivity software.
But the company is hoping to use Dynamics' position amid a slew of other Microsoft technologies as a positive.
"Dynamics might be seen as a stand-alone business unit, but really benefits from Microsoft's other areas. And it's a key integration point," CEO Steve Ballmer said during the morning keynote.
The software will benefit from products like Microsoft's Bing search engine, Lync unified communications technology, and even the Kinect motion controller for the Xbox gaming system, Ballmer said, although he didn't provide specifics of when or how that would be.
Convergence continues through Wednesday in Atlanta.

Alexei Pushkov, who heads the international affairs committee in Russia's parliament, posted a message on Twitter saying: "Venezuela is waiting for an answer from Snowden. This, perhaps, is his last chance to receive political asylum."
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elias Jaua said Saturday that his country has not yet been in contact with Snowden, who Russian officials say has been stuck in the transit area of Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport since arriving on a flight from Hong Kong two weeks ago. He has been unable to travel further because the United States annulled his passport.
Jaua said he expects to consult with Russian officials on Monday about Snowden's situation.
Pushkov's comments appeared to indicate that the Kremlin is now anxious to be rid of the former National Security Agency systems analyst, whom the U.S. wants returned to face espionage charges.
There has been no response from the Kremlin or Russian Foreign Ministry to the asylum offer made by Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro in the early hours of Saturday, Moscow time.
For Snowden to leave for South America, he would need for Venezuela to issue him travel documents and he would need to find a way to get there. The only direct commercial flight from Moscow goes to Havana, Cuba, and Snowden had booked a seat on this flight the day after arriving from Hong Kong, but failed to show up.
The Moscow-Havana flight goes over Europe and the United States, which could cause complications. Some European countries refused to allow Bolivian President Evo Morales to fly through their airspace on his way home from Moscow last week because of suspicions that Snowden was onboard his plane.
Pushkov joked that if Snowden does not find shelter in Venezuela, "he will have to stay and marry Anna Chapman," the redheaded Russian spy who was among 10 sleeper agents deported from the United States in 2010. The 31-year-old Chapman proposed to Snowden, who just turned 30, on Twitter last week.

Do you dream of having a chance to tryout for the Disney Channel and show your talent to the networks casting directors?
Many people do and we are hoping word on the casting event and tryouts for 2013 / 2014 will come in soon. Yes, we are still waiting to hear if there will be a Disney talent search in 2013.
Just Updated! Disney has announced that there will be a Disney Talent Search and Disney open casting call 2013! See Disney Channel tryouts 2013 / 2014 and casting call for more details
The news just came in and Disney will be holding the event in the summer of 2013. The city has not been announced yet but they have stated that they are looking for kids, tweens and teens that are 10 to 17 years old for upcoming projects, Disney movies and new TV shows. They are looking for talented kids who can act, sing or dance and that have an interest in trying out for the network.
The news just came in and this page will soon be updated with the information for the upcoming auditions. Stay Tuned!
Last year at this time Disney Channel had already announced the time and place of their annual open call auditions. This year seems to be a little bit different. Disney officials have yet to announce the date and time of their very popular casting event or even if they will be having one in 2013 or 2014.
These large events are not for specific TV shows, movies or projects, well, not that are advertised. The cattle calls are said to be for upcoming projects and the opportunity for casting directors to scout new talent for the channel.
Actually, last year there was a rumor circulating that the event may be the last for the company, but that was a rumor and no official word followed. We all hope the rumors aren't true and that they have not completely cancelled these very popular events. In past years these large tryouts have gotten some bad press and have been criticized for being over crowded, having very little face time in front of casting directors and being more of a publicity stunt rather than a real Disney talent search. However, some real great talent has been discovered this way and people outside of Los Angeles had a chance to take a shot at the big time.
Every year for some years now,since the early 2000's, the Disney Channel has held an open casting call and tryout event in the spring. The event was a chance for potential Disney stars, wanna be Disney stars and child actors from all over to meet face to face with Disney Channel and Disney XD casting directors and show them what they have to offer to the popular kids network. Through the years, a few Disney child stars have even been discovered this way. Selena Gomez attended a Disney tryout in 2004 and we know she went on to become a household name landing multiple projects, guest star roles and lead roles in network series. Because some big names on the network have been discovered this way, kids and their families come from all over the united States to take a shot.
Due to how popular these events are and how many people attend, the tryouts are usually held in a large place such as a convention center. As always, Official Disney Cattle calls are free to the public and every one who wants to can attend. Families however do need to cover their own travel expenses to the venue as well as parking.
These casting events are held in different places every time and the last 3 were in Austin Texas, Kansas City and Virginia. You can see the details of prior events here.
So, there still is a chance that Disney tryouts for 2013 will be announced. In past years they have been held between April and June with an official announcement going out a few weeks before the event will be held. If they do not announce an event for 2013, we all hope that the break will end and that 2014 will bring better news for Disney hopefuls.
So stay tuned for the latest information and we will keep you informed whenever the announcement comes.
Even without these large cattle calls, Disney does announce projects they are casting for now and then. At the moment, there is an online casting call for Disney's movie Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Day. The movie is casting for a boy 10 to 13 for the lead role of Alexander and you can submit online! If you want the go for the part of Alexander, you better hurry up because the deadline to submit is May 21 2013.
Updated – See tryouts 2013 / 2014 for more details

A timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and discontents, powerfully illuminated by one of our most respected journalists.
When scholars write the history of the world twenty years from now, and they come to the chapter "Y2K to March 2004," what will they say was the most crucial development? The attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and the Iraq war? Or the convergence of technology and events that allowed India, China, and so many other countries to become part of the global supply chain for services and manufacturing, creating an explosion of wealth in the middle classes of the world's two biggest nations, giving them a huge new stake in the success of globalization? And with this "flattening" of the globe, which requires us to run faster in order to stay in place, has the world gotten too small and too fast for human beings and their political systems to adjust in a stable manner?
In this brilliant new book, the award-winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman demystifies the brave new world for readers, allowing them to make sense of the often bewildering global scene unfolding before their eyes. With his inimitable ability to translate complex foreign policy and economic issues, Friedman explains how the flattening of the world happened at the dawn of the twenty-first century; what it means to countries, companies, communities, and individuals; and how governments and societies can, and must, adapt. The World Is Flat is the timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and discontents, powerfully illuminated by one of our most respected journalists.
An expanded and revised version was published in hardcover in April 2006.

the proper method of converting them to our holy faith; and furthermore
directed that I should not proceed by land to the East, as is customary, but
by a Westerly route, in which direction we have hitherto no certain evidence
that anyone has gone.
-- Entry from the journal of Christopher Columbus on his voyage of 1492.

Stock responses to rude comments
Some of you have been witness to some obnoxious comments on this blog over the last few months. I don't want to waste any further time or energy dealing, so I've come up with some pre-written responses I can grab when the occasion strikes. Kind of like Hallmark cards, but not. I'm not saying I'll never again toy with a rude remarker, though I'll now have the option of simply plopping in one of my Stock Responses To Rude Comments™. Feel free to borrow! Or add your own! And now...
Sticks and stones may break my bones but you use split infinitives and commas in the wrong places.
Um, hello? I'm not blogging about cupcakes over here.
Read between the html: < div < i> italic < YOUARENOTVERYBRIGHTAREYOU< i >/div >
Na na na boo boo. [Sticks tongue out, inserts fingers in ears and wags]
Attila the Hun called; he wants his comment back.
I know that html is incorrect. You've just confirmed you're far less bright than I'd suspected.
Wow, that was mean, Mr./Ms. Mean Meanypants.
Thanks very much for your opinion. I regret to inform you that it sucks.
Yo mama can't blog.

Awww, Ellen, you are just so doggone sweet! See, if it were me catching that kind of unsolicited, unnecessary junk, I'd be telling 'em something that sounds a little like "Truck yew, rash mole!" with maybe a few adjustments!!ReplyDelete
I'm sorry you're getting rude comments. Consider it a sign that you've arrived though!ReplyDelete
I'm with Cheryl. None of the six people who read my blog apparently care enough to trash talk me. Even for the post in which I admitted to being in blog world so deeply I absent-mindedly gave my son juice every time he asked and ended up having to pick up a trail of diaper jello through out the house. (Which, if you don't know what that is, you are a) a better parent than I am and b) have never taken a child swimming in a diaper)ReplyDelete
So mean comments= popular!
I'm actually really offended people would make rude comments to you.
I think the last one is my favorite. I'll add my own just for kicks:ReplyDelete
Yes, everyone is allowed to have an opinion, but it doesn't mean we all have to agree on them.
Differing perspectives for different people, I'd be kinda bored if we didn't have them.
Variety, it's the spice of life. Deal with it.

Oh my gosh, thanks for a morning smile. My favorite is "thanks for your comment but I have to inform you that it sucks!" I've got it in m back pocket now for mr. and mrs. meanypants! You are awesome.ReplyDelete
You forgot the old stand-by: BITE ME. ;-) Heh heh.ReplyDelete
I haven't seen the rude comments - but your answers are terrific!ReplyDelete
I've been following your blog for awhile. I can't remember how I stumbled here but I come back everyday for an update on Max. I'm not acquainted with anyone that has a disability so your blog is like a learning experience.ReplyDelete
I love your comebacks for rude commentators. Your blog is getting so popular and making people think!
"Well behaved women rarely make history" - Keep misbehavin'!
Much love! Lauren
Unfortunately, the people leaving rude comments probably don't know what a split infinitive is, but the response made me chuckle. I am probably guilty of the comma placement problem because I tend to use them everywhere, but I would never leave you a rude comment.ReplyDelete
Ha! Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 20, 2010 at 11:04 AM
I love the first one!!ReplyDelete
Ditto Cheryl!
The Attila the Hun one is my favorite. I commend you for creating this entire awesome list without a single curse word, because my response would probably start with a curse word and end with "...and the horse you rode in on."ReplyDelete
Thanks for my morning laugh Ellen!! Really needed a good one!! :)ReplyDelete
P.S. Hope you saw the blog moved, continue to follow me at the new site! :)
These are great! I've been getting a lot of rude comments lately at my place (but then, I guess that's what I get when I poke a stick in a hornet's nest). But I am SO stealing some of these! :)ReplyDelete
What about...."I'm rubber, you're glue, a ball bounces off of me and sticks to you.ReplyDelete

I have to agree with Jean that the Atilla the Hun comeback was my favorite!
I haven't had any rude comments on my blog yet...Maybe its time to stir things up a bit!

Enjoyed this post, Ellen. Humor is both practical and therapeutic!ReplyDelete
Would this work as another possible answer?
You ARE the weakest link!
LOL! Although I am pretty sure my comma's are in the wrong place too. heheReplyDelete
My mom is the queen of turning the other cheek- so I guess I get my hypersensitivity and quick cry reflex from my father... She taught me to say "I respectfully disagree" when I was about four or five. I think it was meant to be funny, can you imagine a little mouth saying those words? But it's one of my favorite ways to stop a rude instigator in his or her tracks!ReplyDelete
Haha. How about..ReplyDelete

---Part 1 of 2---ReplyDelete
Hi Again (this is James, the 'obnoxious' respondent here),
This comment should really be posted on to your previous blog entry, however, for the sake of remaining current and continuing the fun with a slightly different slant I've decided to reply to this blog instead.
I just have a few funny stories to share with you regarding disabled people in stage shows / theatre productions.
Believe it or not, I was in quite a few performances at school (which was mainstream, I might add). In year 7, I played a role in my school's musical. The play was something that our music teacher had written called 'In Search of the Lost Chord' which chronicled the life of a main character called 'Steve' who was in search of the appropriate chord to perfect a song of his own composition, as well as find a pair of blue chord pants he'd lost in his wardrobe, lol.
I played a character called 'The Rock' and was covered in a paper mache costume which covered my entire wheelchair, with only my head poking out, which was plastered with brown face paint, coupled with a brown hat. My character was 'picked up' by the main character as a lucky charm along her journey. As this character, I was able to speak to the other characters and give them advice along the way (as rocks can in musicals, lol) but my primary line was to burst on stage in the middle of a scene, drive across centre stage in my electric wheelchair and exclaim:
"I'm a ROCK and I'm ready to ROLL"
For obvious reasons, this was hilarious, as were the times when we all had to break out into song Glee style, long before that show was ever invented. I really enjoyed being a part of the musical and it is one of my fondest memories as a kid, however, this was a role I could play, where my wheelchair actually enhanced the role by adding humour, rather than detracting from it. In year 9 I played the lead role of a wealthy business man in another drama production (which never mentioned my disability at all) and in year 10, I was actually incorporated into the Year 10 Dance Troupe's Routine to Eminem's '8 Mile' Soundtrack, where I did a 360 in my wheelchair on centre-stage, with about 50 inflatable gym balls that were being thrown by some of my classmates from the mezzanine level. The dance routine ended with the lead dancer doing a hand-stand type thing and then landing in my lap, for a dramatic freeze-frame finish. That routine won the school four awards from the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts in the Junior Dancers category, despite the fact that, yes, I can't dance at all.
The point is, we always recognised that I couldn't play an Olympic Athlete in a stage show or the best stunt man because everyone involved understood my limitations and worked around them, which is the key to being successful. One of my lecturers explains it this way:
"Know what you DON'T know and what you CAN'T do and either:
a) Bridge the gaps by learning how.
b) Seek assistance – Asking for help is acceptable.
c) Choose a different path – The best thing to do is the right thing, the second best thing to do is the wrong thing...and the worst thing to do is nothing!"
Just last year, I finished my Diploma in Business and I'm now studying a Commerce degree at university. I'm also an Authorised Marriage Celebrant and am going to conduct my first wedding on October 23rd, all, of course, from my not-so-comfortable electric wheelchair. I guess, what I'm saying here (which I failed to articulate in previous comments) is that you don't need to identify with the disability, you need to defy it and say: "STUFF YOU I'M LIVING LIFE TO THE 'MAX'". So, perhaps instead of framing the disability as a 'thing' just allow yourself and Max to realise his disability is there and that it doesn't really have to have any label apart from the label: Cerebral Palsy...See 'Part 2'.
James, "STUFF YOU I'M LIVING LIFE TO THE 'MAX'" is THE best response of all to the cerebral palsy. I've used the words "Screw you cerebral palsy" before but I vastly prefer your wording.ReplyDelete
"I'm a ROCK and I'm ready to ROLL" cracked me up.
Thank you for returning and sharing your background. And for showing us your other side. :) When I hear about adults with cp who have impressive accomplishments like you do, it gives me so much hope for Max's future.
I don't ever use labels around Max. He doesn't know the words "cerebral palsy." If he ever wonders about them, we'll talk about them. Right now, he has no idea he has a disability. He's just a very happy kid who has a whole lot of motivation and determination.
It's so easy for people to leave rude comments these days because they can 'hide' behind anonymous or fictitious names, not to mention some people actually are just trying to get a rouse out of people. I agree with many of the comments here, you've arrived. :)ReplyDelete

"I first heard of Energy First products a few years ago. For some reason, I delayed using their products. The sad part is, I also delayed getting results. I began using Energy First, Energy shakes, at the end of March 2003 after hearing Lisa Anne Leslie speak at the Excellence in Dentistry conference. By August 15 th , I have lost 30 lbs. Everyone that sees me wants to know what "diet" I am on. I tell them, "I am not on a diet. I have changed my eating habits." I cannot thank Lisa enough for her concern, support, and her informative tapes. Her knowledge, coupled with Energy First's products, have been absolutely life changing for me."
- Penny Reed, co-founder Dental GeniusT *

"I have been searching for a lifestyle based health enhancement program for my physical therapy clinics for 10 years, and yours is the only one that fits the bill. There are so many programs available that promise much and deliver little. Your program delivers everything it promises, and not just for a 12-day or 12-week time frame - this program is something I and my clients will sustain for a lifetime. That is where its true benefit lies."

The biochemistry and physiology behind your program is cutting edge, and the implementation simple to follow. You are in the business of changing people's lives, and you are doing a remarkable job at it."
- Dr Stuart Nunnally, Marble Falls , Texas *
"I would like to thank everyone involved in the EnergyFirst Program. It has completely changed my life. I have lost 20 pounds in the last 6 months. I believe the weight I have lost has been only adipose tissue and that no muscle tissue has been sacrificed. My body fat composition has dramatically changed due to this fact. 2 months into the program I had my body fat composition measured and it was 27% fat. I had already lost three inches around my waist the first time this was calculated. I currently have dropped 2 more inches around my waist (for a total of 5 inches) and my body fat composition is now 14.5%. An amazing loss of 12.5% fat and that does not include the first two months. I truly believe that I am not as lean as I can be. My goal is to reach 10% body fat. I know that I can achieve that goal and go lower if I want. I am in complete control now. One of the best features of this system is to change the focus from weight to body composition. After all if you lose weight but most of it is water and muscle your just as fat as you were but now you're weaker and dehydrated. This program eliminates those worries.
The other aspect of my life that has changed is getting my blood pressure under control. I was taking a blood pressure medication in the beta blocker family. While on the medication my blood pressure was about 130/90. Lowering it to the border line area. I have now been off my medication for about 2 month and this week my blood pressure was 120/75. I can hardly believe this dramatic turn around. Another positive is that my resting heart rate has lowered to 53 beat/min. and my total cholesterol has dropped about 20 points. Not only has this program given me control of my body composition, it has also given me control of my health.
Another aspect that I have been so pleased with is the amount of energy that I now have. Normally I would get off work and be worn-out but now I the energy to do activities that I need to do or want to do. There is clearly a difference between being tired and having no energy. When you have both, it's very difficult to be active but as I have corrected both, my energy level has significantly increased. The energy alone is worth changing your eating habits and when you add on all the other benefits your left wishing you had know about this all your life. This makes the program very easy to stay on. If you start eating poorly again, the high energy you have disappears and the tired and sleepy feeling return. As soon as that happens I correct my eating habits and I'm back on track before I have the chance to get fat again. The program has several self-checks like this and that makes it clear if you are where you need to be or not.
Thanks again EnergyFirst. You've changed my life.
-Joey Harbison, P.T." October 2001 *
For the past 20 years, I have lost and regained the same 10 - 15 lbs over and over again. I have tried low fat-high carb diets-only to get fatter. I exercised more and more in an attempt to "burn" the calories I was eating. I put about 65% of my effort into exercise and working out with about 20% in supplements and 15% of my effort into the nutritional aspects of my diet. I knew I should eat "healthy" but I craved carbs and PMS was out of control. Because I was not a big fan of eating meat, I protein intake was low. I was tired a lot and had mood swings. Last November at a dental implant meeting I heard about EnergyFirst and their Healthy Lifestyle Plan from a dentist at the meeting. What he said made a lot of sense to me and he looked great; so I started researching EnergyFirst as soon as I got home. I ordered the EnergyFirst tapes and started to learn more and more about blood sugar, balanced nutrition and the importance of protein and good fats in the diet. I ordered the whey protein powder and started doing the shakes twice a day. It was amazing! Not only did the body fat start falling off, I started feeling more energetic and less moody. And I was not hungry! I greatly reduced the carbohydrates in my diet and actually reduced my exercise regimen. Instead of working out at the gym for 2 hours 5 days a week, I just started walking with hand weights 3-5 days a week for 30 minutes. I have always been a heavy water drinker, but I started to drink even more. When my husband saw the success I was having, he started the shakes too. I have lost over 23 lbs of body fat and inches in my waist, thighs and abdomen. I have gone down 2 dress sizes. My PMS symptoms have drastically reduced and continue to get better. My husband has lost 25 lbs of body fat and looks great! My children have the shake every morning for breakfast. My 14 year old daughter has been able to eliminate taking medication for ADHD by changing her nutrition. My 11 year old son plays sports and is a huge fan of Joe Dillon. He drinks shakes and eats squeaky clean to improve his athletic performance.
We were so impressed with Lisa Leslie from EnergyFirst and how much she has helped us, we decided to bring her to Memphis to speak to our referring doctors and their staffs and family members. The response was fantastic. Many of the attendees have reported success implementing Lisa's recommendations. Lisa's presentation was very professional and easy to understand. She is personable and is happy to answer questions from the audience. Lisa Leslie has been wonderful to work with as well. She is my "nutrition coach." When I have a question or a concern in a health area, she is willing to help and gives great advice. I highly recommend Lisa and the EnergyFirst team - their vast knowledge about exercise and nutrition and their desire to change people's lives in a positive direction make them an incredible combination!

I find inspiration in many different ways. This guy swam 1 mile down the hudson w/ no legs, no arm, and a 1/2 arm. The he biked w/ a hand cycle custom made for him and he road a skateboard 6 miles through central park ( yes up those hills ). When he went on stage to receive his award - I lost it - I was in tears. He was all smiles. His exact words were "I knew I could do it - but no one believed in me". Even the race director didn't believe him.
Don't ever lose faith in your self. Don't ever say "I can't".
"Believing" is everything.

Michael Bertin writes about soccer for Deadspin World Cup qualifying in Europe is too easy. I know that sounds ridiculous given some of the results over the weekend—France losing to Austria, Italy needing stoppage time to nip Cyrpus, and England being rescued against Andorra (again) by five inspired minutes from Joe Cole—but in all likelihood those teams are all still going to make it to South Africa. England will probably even be there to compete. Look at a map of Europe circa 20 years ago. I count 18 countries currently in qualifying that weren't even there when Bush XLI was telling us to read his lips. In fact in Group Six, England's group, the only other country you'd find on that map (provided it didn't specify the Soviet republics) is Andorra. And they didn't start competing in qualification until the 2002 World Cup cycle. It's like England drew the equivalent of four iterations of Kansas City Royals split-squad teams.The fact that England will struggle isn't a reflection of any depth in Europe. It's a reflection of England sucking. This was the second (and consecutive) time they were unimpressive against Andorra. Most of Andorra's national team comes from players at Andorra FC. And while domestically based, AFC currently plays in Spain. In the third division. England should have been able to outscore Vince Young's Wonderlic against Andorra. Ergo: England is shit. Sorry, shite. But they will probably still qualify. They'll finish behind Croatia, have a nervy home-and-home against maybe Poland or Sweden, get bailed out by a late strike from Frank Lampard, draw into a ridiculously easy WC group, detach from reality and start talking about a run to the semis, then lose in the round of 16 to Argentina. Really, it's so predictable it can turn an idiot like me into Kreskin. This is not to pick on England, they've given the world Calculus, penicillin and the Clash. Personally, my life has benefitted greatly from two of those things. That England can be so incredibly mediocre and still advance to South Africa for 2010 just proves the point about Europe. In fact, qualifying out of CONCACAF, the U.S.'s region, might be tougher than coming out of Europe. And I'm being serious. I'm not saying we're better than England or that CONCACAF is better than UEFA. Our region is overrated and the United States is a second rate soccer nation (although what nobody ever adds is that there are about 12 rates in world soccer, so second is not that bad). More importantly, on the biggest stage, the US shits the bed almost as a rule (but take note Joe Morgan, we're super fucking consistent). Here's why we have a tougher road than the Euro nance boys: the U.S., we will go topple another government. And I'm not even talking about the last sovereign nation we invaded apparently so our elected officials could hand out no-bid cost-plus contracts to their poker buddies. Vietnam, the Phillipenes, Iran, Chile, we'll destabilize a government and do it without much thought to the long term consequences. Within our qualifying region, we've tinkered in the national affairs of Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Panama. We regularly force our national soccer team to go where we've disposed of legitimate leaders. It's kind of hard to play in places where they'd like to kill you for fucking up their countries. Look at the U.S.'s two matches to this point. Game 1 degenerated into an elbowy bloodsport in Guatemala. Game 2 we traveled to a country we've methodically driven to economic ruin over five decades. Neither host thought enough of us to even bother turning on the stadium lights. Hell, we go to Mexico and our players get pelted by Ziploc bags filled with urine and feces. Name one venue where England's players are are likely to get pelted with urine bombs. One stadium besides Wembley that is. And this is exactly what World Cup qualifying should be. Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, it makes awesome sports. Even with the mild surprises in Europe over the weekend, the matches were all painfully boring (cue predictable jokes in 1, 2...) . And that's easy to fix: You meddle with another country, you face them in qualifying. England should have to play Argentina until the seas rise so high that the Falklands aren't on any map that doesn't also include the Mariana's Trench. They held colonial power over Ghana and Nigeria. Excellent. Every World Cup for the foreseeable future would be free of the Three Lions. Sure there's a shelf life here—Italy shouldn't be paying for Caesar's imperial ambitions but Belgium should still be paying for Leopold's—and some cases will require some gerrymandering—there are just not enough days in the FIFA calendar to allow Germany to face every country they've tried to invade—but who decided that geography should be the criteria by which this gets organized in the first place? Nobody smart. That's who. Align the qualifying groups by political conflict and there will never be another lifeforce-sucking scoreless draw like Saturday's Denmark v. Hungary match. And, bonus, Brazil can pretty much cut its national defense budget to zero. US Squeak Past Cuba [Goal.com]

Kelly Rowland was tired of having "little nuggets for boobs," so the 30-year-old singer did something about it: she got breast implants in October 2007.
Four years later, the "Motivation" singer says she has no regrets about enhancing her cup size.
"The decision was 10 years in the making, so I'm comfortable talking about it," Rowland tells Cosmopolitan UK's November issue. "It's something I really wanted to do for myself — not for a man, not for work, for myself. And I love them!"
That's not the only thing Rowland wanted to get off her chest during the revealing Cosmopolitan UK interview: she also decided to open up about being abandoned by her father, Christopher Lovett, when she was just a child.
"I haven't seen my dad for almost 20 years. It's nothing I want a pity party for. He left me and my mom, and I was angry," she says. "I wanted to be a daddy's girl so bad. God damn The Cosby Show because that made me think, 'Why isn't my family like that?' But this is not a perfect world."
Lovett tried to contact his estranged daughter through a tabloid in June, and Rowland plans to slowly let him back into her life.
"He reached out to me saying he wanted to see me, but it's unfortunate he did it so publicly," she admits. "I want to meet him, and soon, I really do. I forgave him a long time ago."

CAMDEN – The dazzling display of aurora light that happens every year over New Jersey – amazed skywatchers once again!
Every October, skywatchers travel from all over North America, Canada and Sweden and come to New Jersey to catch the most amazing display of aurora light. And this year was no different. "It was real cool," said Jersey housewife, Teresa Giudice. "I love lights and sky and color. So, yeah it was nice. Jersey is the best."
Monday night (Oct. 24), the Jersey sky was painted with with striking green and even rare red hues.
The aurora display, also known as the northern lights, or the Jersey Lights, was touched off by a wave charged particles unleashed by a massive sun storm on Saturday, which took two days to reach Earth, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center operated by the National Weather Service and NOAA.
"These were the most vibrant I've ever seen," New Jersey skywatcher Sal Fiori of Bayonne told WWN. "I was also able to see red with my naked eye, which I've never seen before either. It blew my freakin' mind."
Governor Chris Christie missed the event because he was judging a cannoli eating contest in Sea Girt. But he heard that it was beautiful. "Yeah, everything is beautiful in Jersey. And no, I'm not running for President. But maybe I am."
Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Susan Begley of Morristown expected a good aurora light show, but was surprised by the sheer brilliance of Monday night's light show.
"I'd taken a few pics, went back to the car to change lenses, and when I looked up the sky was on fire," Begley said. "To the north there was this huge curtain that sent beams overhead to a corona in which I had to turn to the south to photograph. That's when I noticed the reds and pinks starting to happen. From there the lights were every which direction. It was hands down the best Jersey Lights I've ever seen. I think I saw a double rainbow, too."
"Hands down the most amazing northern lights display that I have ever witnessed," said Chuck Bench of Red Bank. "It was like I was looking at heaven." Chuck's wife later told WW that Chuck was asleep on the couch during the Jersey Lights. "He's a slob," she said.
There's still time to catch some of this year's Jersey Lights. They should be visible for the rest of the month.

Tiger Woods and his wife are officially divorced.
The lawyers for Woods and Elin Nordegren say in a statement that the divorce became official Monday in Bay County Circuit Court.
The divorce comes nine months after Woods crashed his SUV outside their home near Orlando, setting off explosive revelations that the world's No. 1 golfer had been cheating on his wife. It led to Woods losing millions of dollars in endorsements and taking five months away from the game.
Terms of the divorce were not disclosed, except that they will share parenting of their two children, ages 3 and 1.

WASHINGTON – The U.S. government is stepping up efforts to help Central American farmers fight a devastating coffee disease – and hold down the price of your morning cup.
At issue is a fungus called coffee rust that has caused more than $1 billion in damage across Latin American region. The fungus is especially deadly to Arabica coffee, the bean that makes up most high-end, specialty coffees.
Already, it is affecting the price of some of those coffees in the United States.
"We are concerned because we know coffee rust is already causing massive amounts of devastation," said Raj Shah, head of the U.S. Agency for International Development.
On Monday, he was expected to announce a $5 million partnership with Texas A&M University's World Coffee Research center to try to eliminate the fungus.
But the government isn't doing this just to protect our $4 specialty coffees, as much as Americans love them. The chief concern is about the economic security of these small farms abroad. If farmers lose their jobs, it increases hunger and poverty in the region and contributes to violence and drug trafficking.
Washington estimates that production could be down anywhere from 15 percent to 40 percent in coming years, and that those losses could mean as many as 500,000 people could lose their jobs. Though some countries have brought the fungus under control, many of the poorer coffee-producing countries in Latin America don't see the rust problem getting better anytime soon.
Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama and Costa Rica have all been hard hit.
Much of the blander, mass-produced coffee in this country comes from Asia and other regions. Most of the richer, more expensive coffees are from small, high altitude farms in Central America. Because the farms are smaller, farmers there often don't have enough money to buy the fungicides needed or lack the training to plant in ways that could avoid contamination.
The rust, called roya in Spanish, is a fungus that is highly contagious due to airborne fungal spores. It affects different varieties, but the Arabica beans are especially susceptible. Rainy weather worsens the problem.
"We don't see an end in sight anytime soon," said Leonardo Lombardini of Texas A&M's World Coffee Research.
So far, major U.S. coffee companies have been able to find enough supply to avoid price increases. But some smaller outfits already have seen higher prices, said Ric Rhinehart of the Specialty Coffee Association of America.
Rhinehart said the worst-case scenario is that consumers eventually will pay "extraordinarily high prices for those coffees, if you can find them at all."
He said some very specialized varieties from a single origin – Guatemalan antigua coffees, for example – have been much harder to source. If the problem continues, he says, some small coffee companies either will raise prices or use blends that are easier to find, decreasing the quality of the coffee.
Larger companies such as Starbucks and Keurig Green Mountain Inc. have multiple suppliers across the region and say they have so far been able to source enough coffee.

The Acid Test: Changing Seas Trip Up Baby Squid
Squid could be in trouble as the oceans grow more acidic, new research finds.
As humans pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the oceans absorb about a third of the greenhouse gas. This buffers terrestrial creatures from even more extreme effects of climate change — without the oceans, Earth's atmosphere would contain far more than the approximately 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide that it does today. However, the dissolved carbon dioxide makes the oceans more acidic, possibly affecting thousands of marine species.
Squid, it seems, may be among the most vulnerable, with consequences that could trickle through the marine ecosystem. A new study published today (May 31) in the journal PLOS ONE finds that squid raised in more highly acidified ocean water hatch more slowly and are smaller when they hatch than squid raised in ocean water at today's pH levels. The acid-exposed squid also have abnormal statoliths, which are internal, calcified structures that function like the mammalian inner ear to help squid keep their balance and orient themselves.
"We're worried these guys won't be able to swim and behave properly," study researcher T. Aran Mooney, a biologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, said of the acidified squid. [Release the Kraken! Photos of Giant Squid]
Acidifying oceans
Mooney and his colleagues trawled for Atlantic longfin squid (Doryteuthis pealeii) from the Vineyard Sound off of Massachusetts. The researchers brought the squid to the laboratory and kept some in tanks with a pH of about 8. On the pH scale, 7 is neutral, and 8 slightly basic. The open ocean today has a pH of about 8, which is a decline of about 0.1 pH units since pre-industrial times, an increase in acidification attributable to carbon dioxide produced by humans.
Researchers kept the rest of the squid in tanks with a more acidic pH of about 7.3. Climate projections suggest the open ocean could reach this level of acidification in about 100 to 200 years, Mooney told LiveScience. In coastal areas, where acidity is more variable, a pH of 7.3 sometimes already occurs.
The researchers allowed the squid to mate and lay eggs in the tanks, and then tracked how long it took those eggs to hatch. The scientists found that squid raised in a more acidic environment developed more slowly, emerging from their eggs about 24 hours later, on average, than the squid placed in normal ocean conditions. The delay is bad news for baby squid, which are defenseless fish-food in their egg stage.
"The longer you're an egg sitting there, the more likely you are to get eaten," Mooney said.
Key to the ecosystem
The squid reared in acidified water were also smaller than normal when they hatched, with an average body length of 0.07 inches (1.78 millimeters) versus 0.071 inches (1.81 millimeters) for squid hatched in normal conditions. That smaller size, again, could make squid more vulnerable to predators, Mooney said. The miniaturized squid might also have a harder time swimming and migrating than their larger brethren.
Finally, the researchers dissected some of the squid at each day of development to examine the stony statoliths that give the animals their equilibrium. The scientists found that the statoliths of acidified squid were irregularly formed and porous, suggesting that the water pH disrupted the development of these structures.
Squid are a keystone of the ocean ecosystem, Mooney said. They're important prey for animals ranging from fish to marine mammals to sea birds. They're also an important food source for humans, who pull about 3 million tons of squid from the ocean each year. Thus, damage to squid populations could reverberate throughout the ocean ecosystem.
The researchers don't yet know, however, what threshold acidification would have to cross to cause damage to squid; nor is it clear how other squid species will react. The next step, Mooney said, is to raise squid in multiple pH levels to figure out the effect of each "dose" of acidification.
"Now we're kind of filling in those gaps," Mooney said.

Security researchers from Damballa have found a new variant of the Pushdo malware that's better at hiding its malicious network traffic and is more resilient to coordinated takedown efforts.
The Pushdo Trojan program dates back to early 2007 and is used to distribute other malware threats, like Zeus and SpyEye. It also comes with its own spam engine module, known as Cutwail, which is directly responsible for a large portion of the world's daily spam traffic.
The security industry has tried to shut down the Pushdo/Cutwail botnet four times during the last five years, but those efforts only resulted in temporary disruptions.
In March, security researchers from Damballa identified new malicious traffic patterns and were able to trace them back to a new variant of the Pushdo malware.
"The latest variant of PushDo adds another dimension by using domain fluxing with Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs) as a fallback mechanism to its normal command-and-control (C&C) communication methods," the Damballa researchers said Wednesday in a blog post.
The malware generates over 1,000 non-existent unique domain names every day and connects to them if it cannot reach its hard-coded C&C servers. Since the attackers know how the algorithm works, they can register one of those domains in advance and wait for the bots to connect in order to deliver new instructions.
This technique is intended to make it hard for security researchers to shut down the botnet's command-and-control servers or for security products to block its C&C traffic.
"PushDo is the third major malware family that Damballa has observed in the last 18 months to turn to DGA techniques as a means of communicating with its C&C," the Damballa researchers said. "Variants of the ZeuS malware family and the TDL/TDSS malware also use DGA in their evasion methods."
Researchers from Damballa, Dell SecureWorks and the Georgia Institute of Technology worked together to investigate the malware's new variant and measure its impact. Their findings were published in a joint report released Wednesday.
In addition to using DGA techniques, the latest Pushdo variant also queries over 200 legitimate websites on a regular basis in order to blend in its C&C traffic with normal-looking traffic, the researchers said.
During the investigation, 42 domain names generated by Pushdo's DGA were registered and the requests made to them were monitored in order to get an estimation of the botnet's size.
"Over the period of almost two months, we observed 1,038,915 unique IPs posting C&C binary data to our sinkhole," the researchers said in their report. The daily count was between 30,000 to 40,000 unique IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, they said.
The countries with the highest infection count are India, Iran and Mexico, according to the collected data. China, which is usually at the top of the list for other botnet infections, is not even in the top ten, while the U.S. is only in sixth place.
The Pushdo malware is generally distributed through drive-by download attacks -- Web-based attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in browser plug-ins -- or is installed by other botnets as part of pay-per-install schemes used by cybercriminals, the researchers said.

Irish and British bookmakers suffered up to €3 million in losses following wins by four horses with links to racing punter Barney Curley yesterday.
Mr Curley, a former trainer, has been associated with previous betting successes dating back almost 40 years.
All four horses - Eye of the Tiger, Seven Summits, Indus Valley and Low Key - were returning to the track after long absences and were unfancied in all their races at Lingfield, Catterick and Kempton racecourses in England.
The horses were heavily backed with favourable odds before bookmakers adjusted them.
Bookmakers reported a flurry of bets early yesterday for the accumulator, which forced them to shorten the odds throughout the day.
It is estimated that bookmakers will now have to pay out up to €3 million, with bookmaker Paddy Power estimating it has suffered losses of €1 million.
Speaking to RTÉ, Paddy Power said he did not think many people placed bets at the top of the odds, but that these stories gain momentum and Barney Curley is a legendary gambler, so when punters heard his name associated with a bet they were inclined to "get on board".
Mr Power said: "It just gathers pace and then once the words Barney Curley are mentioned, even alleged mentioned, people just follow in, just pile in.
"Very few people probably got on at the top of the market but at the same time it just gathers pace."

On December 14, 2013 the Freedom And Unity Front launched its manifesto before a group of invited Ugandans at The London School of Economics. Over the next four days The Black Star News will publish the entire document, in four-part series, beginning with the below:
Part One
The major problems that have bedevilled Uganda and retarded the process of growth in all spheres of national socio-political and economic endeavours are essentially moral and political. The stark nature of the problems has been brought to the fore by the actions of the current regime over the decades.
The manifestations of the outstanding problems can be seen in President Yoweri Museveni's encouragement of massive corruption, ordering the assassination and torture of his political opponents, muzzling the press, perpetrating military adventures into neighbouring countries and within Uganda itself. These have been compounded by the regime allowing public services to deteriorate to such an extent that they are the worst in
the region, giving rise to myriad health crises, including, most recently, outbreaks of famine for the first time in living memory.
If we are to confront what is at the core of the problems, we need to tackle not only the failures of the current regime, but also of its standards of what has been retailed as success.
The challenge then is to fashion a new socio-political system based on the principles of equality of treatment, social justice, unity of the country, economic empowerment, political emancipation, and inclusiveness. To fulfil this task, we must appeal not simply to the conscience and reason of all Ugandans of good will, but also to the greater spirit of national renewal in all areas of national life.
In October 2013, a group of Ugandans with diverse ethnic and professional backgrounds, working within and outside the country, came together to share concerns about the erosion of basic freedoms, the fragmentation of the country, the misuse of the military and security services and the epidemic of corruption in all spheres of national life. We resolved to form an ecumenical organisation, the Freedom and Unity Front (FUF). This is our Manifesto.
A principal mission of FUF is to reawaken and inspire the people of Uganda to emancipate themselves from the abuse of power, corruption and poverty that President Museveni's regime has used to exploit and shackle them in fear. The overarching long-term objective of FUF is to build institutions and systems that are sufficiently strong and self-sustaining, and that would ensure accountability.
In the tasks ahead, the FUF leadership pledges to work in solidarity with all Ugandans of good will to facilitate the total emancipation of our people that will be supportive of, and conducive to, the values of national unity, rule of law, social justice, political freedom, economic empowerment and human dignity. It will work relentlessly to transform the organs of the current dictatorship that have been designed for the control and repression of
people into strong institutions that facilitate empowerment and self-realisation. In the arduous struggle for liberation, the leadership of FUF will draw on, and be fortified by, the African communitarian ethics of Ubuntu, the ethical values of various traditions of the world and the memory of all those gallant compatriots who have died in the service of the country, whether they were politicians and activists fighting to defend the Constitution or peasants fleeing for their lives in the villages of Luweero, Gulu, Soroti or Kabale.
The leadership of FUF is conscious that after the dictatorship of President Museveni is removed, the legacies of deep divisions and antipathies and corruption will require individual and collective commitment to transcend narrow self-interests for the common and greater good of the country and Africa. To confront the pernicious legacies, as an African country and people, the leadership of FUF is committed to mobilise and harness, first, African resources that are informed by the values of truth telling and discovery, reconciliation and forgiveness, peace and justice. And second, but equally critical in an increasingly interdependent world, and on the basis of reciprocal respect, solidarity and shared values on the rule of law, human rights, equitable justice, peace and human security, the leadership of FUF will partner with all people of good will to ensure that the institutions that safeguard the rights of people are in place. In particular, FUF will ensure that independent and impartial institutions of the rule of law, and of peace building and conflict resolution, which it considers to be a necessary condition for the process of national healing and stability, as well as for the enhancement of the dignity and worth of people, are established and maintained.
We carry in our minds and hearts the power to influence our destiny. The time is here for the people of Uganda to rise up in unity and break free like a tidal wave to sweep aside the corrupt dictatorship that has shackled them in fear and poverty.
Uganda, a country richly endowed with abundant natural resources, has been described as the pearl of Africa. In the past four decades, this pearl of Africa has been more than tarnished; it has been ravaged by a multitude of crises. Some of the crises can be attributed to the uneven development and deliberate disintegration of social and political systems during colonial rule, which over time became structural imbalances in a neo-colonial state.
To a considerable extent, however, most of the glaring problems have been generated by unethical and personalised ruler-ship (not leadership in the proper sense) and by poor governance, which have in turn bred a perverse and pernicious value system. As such, there are three fundamental issues in Uganda that deserve critical attention and must be tackled if the country is to be emancipated and redeemed.
The first is political: it is about unbalanced and unhealthy power relations between agents of government and the great majority of citizens. The second issue, which has bearing on the first, is structural in nature. This came about as a result of colonial policies that sought to divide and rule the people, in order to exploit, emasculate and oppress them. In the post-colonial period, the inherited imbalances engendered structural bottlenecks in the neo-colonial state, which have in turn made it difficult to function properly.
Thus far, it has handicapped attempts to devise durable mechanisms to check the power of leaders and hold them accountable. The third fundamental issue is about values; more specifically, it is about the lack of political morality in governance.
When political processes in the country are viewed from the perspective of today, without balanced historical knowledge, it would seem that crises have been a permanent feature of Uganda. Yet the plain historical fact is that the crises that have plagued the country and caused so much human suffering cannot be considered either inevitable or preordained. Rather, the crises have been compounded, if not brought about, mostly by people who have wielded public governmental power without accountability.
In the contemporary history of the country, there was a period between independence in 1962 and the Crisis in 1966, when effective institutional checks and balances on power fostered conditions for robust and unfettered application of rule of law by independent and neutral judiciary, which in turn nurtured social peace and coexistence, and competitive multi-party democracy. During this period, people enjoyed relative freedoms and the country recorded impressive economic growth, which was evidenced by the fact that incomes grew faster during the era than they had in the previous half-century. This era of political and social flowering, during which peace, prosperity, scholarship and the arts flourished, might be regarded as a golden period in the country's history. Certainly, this was a period not only of buoyant hope and great expectations, but also of manifold achievements. It is a period that might serve as a model for the renewal of the country, not withstanding some of its other limitations.
To refer to the period between 1962 and 1966 as more or less a golden era is not to ignore the historical distortions inherent in the country at the time of independence, as exemplified by the adhoc nature of the distribution of power between the centre and regions and inadequate leadership.
These left many issues unresolved and were to lead to a number of frictions in the country. On balance, the post-independence period has been an era of no effective institutional checks and balances on power. As a result, the country has continuously experienced a multitude of crises, which have desecrated institutions, with devastating impact on the lives of the great majority of people.
Since 1986, one political organization, the National Resistance Movement (NRM), under military strong man Museveni, has ruled the country without interruption. When the NRM first assumed power, the promises made by its leadership for a fundamental change in the country excited the population. In a speech he gave on assuming power, President Museveni raised the hopes of people for depersonalisation of power when he said, "The problem of Africa in general and Uganda in particular is not the people but leaders who want to overstay in power."
He promised Ugandans a new constitution that would restructure the neo colonial state and remedy the inherited colonial imbalances and also empower the people and limit the powers and the time a president can serve.
However, within the past two decades, President Museveni has not only reneged on the promise and destroyed virtually all independent institutions that should safeguard fundamental freedoms and rights of Ugandans, but has also established a dictatorship with heavy concentration of powers in his own hands. To compound the multitude of crises in Uganda, he has now embarked upon a political scheme to create a family dynasty.
The above is first of a four-part series. Readers can send their reactions or comments on the FUF's manifesto to [email protected] to be considered for publication or post them directly to the website.

Here Is Footage of Selena Gomez Drunk at a Golden Globes After Party
Like everybody else in Hollywood, Disney Channel alum Selena Gomez was trashed after Sunday's Golden Globes ceremony. Watch above as Justin Bieber's 20-year-old ex wobbles and slurs gushing praise for the show (which was great on weed, too, according to...uh...one of two of us who led Gawker's Liveblog of the ceremony). "It was a good moment for me," she says of Jennifer Lawrence winning Best Actress Musical/Comedy for Silver Linings Playbook. She clarifies, "I don't even know her, but I think she's so cool." Oh.
I feel like this is a good moment for me, as this person I never cared too much about is one of my favorite people now that I have seen her drunk. It's kind of like when you have a sex dream about a person that you thought little of prior and then can't stop thinking about that person. You know?
This wasn't the first time Gomez was spotted supposedly drunk in public, and it sure as hell won't be her last.

In the land of Oracle, if you want to prevent user access to your database, you stop the listener. Without that agent running, you can still connect to the database locally, via shared memory, but all TCP/IP connectivity is disabled. As a DBA, this is pretty handy if you need time to perform maintenance tasks without users accessing the system. But that's Oracle.
SQL Server doesn't have a listener agent. Sure, there's the SQL Browser, but stopping that service won't actually prevent remote access to your instance. In fact, if you're running on the default port, 1433, stopping SQL Browser won't do anything at all. So, if you need time to perform some system maintenance in SQL Server while users are off the system, what can you do to prevent connections?
One answer might be to alter all the logins and DENY CONNECT permissions. You can find scripts online to automate the process. Personally, I'm hesitant to start altering all my logins like that. Sure, it should work ok, but it just seems a bit…invasive.
You could disable TCP/IP protocol in Configuration Manager. If a client tries to connect using TCP/IP the connection will fail. After a failed connection the client will automatically attempt to connect using other protocols, like Named Pipes. So if you're going to go this route, make sure that your other remote protocols are disabled, too.
There's another way, though. But before we get into that, let's back up a bit and talk about how clients talk to the SQL Server instance. Don't worry, we'll stick to a 100 foot level.
SQL Server Network Interface (SNI) and Tabular Data Stream (TDS)
Both the SQL Native Client and the SQL Server instance use a protocol layer called the SQL Server Network Interface, or SNI, to communicate with each other over a generic network protocol, like TCP/IP. When the client wants to send a message to the server, T-SQL query for example, the SNI packages the message into a Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packet and ships it off over the network.
On the server, there are a set of endpoints listening for TDS packets. Each network protocol has one of these TDS endpoints assigned to it, whether the protocol has been enabled or not. There's also one specifically for DAC connections. You can view these system endpoints in the sys.endpoints system view. You can also view information on TCP/IP-specific endpoints using sys.tcp_endpoints
select * from sys.endpoints select * from sys.tcp_endpoints
Stopping the "listener"
You can't drop any of the system endpoints, but you *can* stop them. When you stop an endpoint, it still listens, but any attempted connections are immediately closed. This is different from disabling the network protocol. Remember that, when you disable the TCP/IP protocol for SQL Server, the client will automatically try to connect using another protocol. However, when you stop the "TSQL Default TCP" endpoint, the client doesn't try other protocols. It just gives up.
alter endpoint [TSQL Default TCP] state = stopped
To re-enable connectivity, simply start the endpoint.
alter endpoint [TSQL Default TCP] state = started
You should note that, while stopping the endpoint will prevent any new connections to the instance, it will not close any existing connections. So if your purpose is to get all users off the system, you'll want to stop the endpoint and then start closing existing sessions (gracefully or otherwise).
