OURAY, Colo. (AP) — Two workers were killed and 20 others injured Sunday in a mining accident near the southwestern Colorado town of Ouray.
Authorities said that the two who were killed died from carbon monoxide poisoning, the Denver Post reported.
The officials said at a nighttime news conference that the source of the gas was under investigation, with officials looking at whether a small explosion in the mining process might have caused it.
The 20 injured were taken to area hospitals, and all but two were treated and released, Ouray County spokeswoman Marti Whitmore said. There was no immediate word on the conditions of the two hospitalized workers.
The Montrose Daily Press reported that 10 of them went to Montrose Memorial Hospital, where officials say they were treated for carbon monoxide exposure. It wasn't immediately clear if the remaining 10 also suffered from exposure to the gas.
Rory Williams, the operations manager for Denver-based Star Mine LLC, said all of the men are required to wear personal respirators and the two who died had them. He said that it doesn't appear to be an equipment malfunction, the Post reported.
Whitmore said that the Ouray County sheriff's office was called to the Revenue-Virginius mine at about 7:20 a.m. The miners were underground and were confirmed dead Sunday afternoon.
She said that mine owner Star Mine Operations has accounted for all of the workers at the site.
Both the Daily Press and the Post identified the dead as 34-year-old Nick Cappanno of Montrose and Rick Williams, 59, of Durango.
"I knew both of these individuals personally," said Rory Williams, who said he is no relation to Rick Williams. "They were hard-working men. They were great men. They will be remembered indeed."
Though the cause of the accident hasn't been determined, Rory Williams, told the Ouray Watch newspaper that it wasn't related to a cave-in or mine collapse.
"I believe a blast was involved which did create some gases which potentially the miners did inhale," Williams told the Daily Press.
The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration is at the accident site, which is about 270 miles southwest of Denver.
The last major mining disaster in Colorado occurred on April 15, 1981, when an explosion killed 15 people at the Mid-Continent Dutch Creek No. 1 Mine near Redstone.
There have been eight mining deaths in the state since 2002, not including the two Sunday, according to the mine safety agency.
In 2011, a New Mexico contract worker died after being hurt at the West Elk Coal Mine in Somerset, in western Colorado. The agency found the 53-year-old slipped and fell from a beam at a tower construction site.
In 2012, a 25-year-old water truck driver died after losing control of his vehicle at Colowyo Mine in Moffat County.
The Watch reported that in its heyday, between 1876 and the late 1940s, the Revenue-Virginius mine produced more than 14.5 million ounces of silver, enough to weather the Silver Panic of 1893.
Star Mine Operations acquired the property in late 2011.

This Week In Island History
Week of September 27
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago
From the Newport Journal, Sept. 20, 1912
Indications point to unusual building operations on the island during the coming winter. Beside the half-dozen cottages and bungalows now under way, contracts have been made for several more, and arrangements and plans are being made for others. Although no large or expensive buildings are contemplated, the aggregate of the small ones will amount to more than in any one year since the rush of some 20 years ago.
Mr. P.H. Horgan has commenced work on a garage in the rear of the Hotel Thorndike.
Chandler's boat shop is a busy place at the present time, the usual fleet of small boats being hauled out to be cared for during the winter.
Bluefish are reported as having been seen off Beavertail Tuesday. Although they were in large schools, all attempts to take any by line were futile.
75 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, Sept. 30, 1937
It was reported at the School Committee meeting that on a canvas of the high school transportation needs, it was found that there are a number of pupils living several miles from the ferry, who are providing their own transportation. It was voted to put out to bids for the transportation of the children to the 8 a.m. ferry, and that action be taken at the next School Committee meeting.
50 years ago From the Newport Daily News,
Sept. 26, 1962
The new Brenton Reef light tower that will replace the veteran lightship will be dedicated with ceremonies by the Coast Guard Friday at 11:30 a.m. The new light signal will be turned on that night. From the Newport Daily News,
Sept. 27, 1962
The Brenton Reef Lightship will be open to the public Saturday at City Wharf from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This will be the last opportunity for Newporters to see the vessel, which has been a familiar offshore sight to them for many years. The lightship will leave Newport Saturday night for Boston.
25 years ago From the Newport Daily News,
Sept. 28, 1987
The Town Council learned Monday night that Jamestown may soon be getting some outside help in solving its drug-related problems.
At the Town Council meeting, the council voted to purchase a second trash-hauling trailer for the transfer station for $43,600.
15 years ago
From the Jamestown Press,
Sept. 25, 1997
About 30 residents showed up at Town Hall Monday to try to convince the Town Council to ask the state to scale down its upgrade of Southwest Avenue. The state Department of Transportation wants to widen the road from Narragansett Avenue to Mackerel Cove to 32 feet. The plan includes two 12- foot travel lanes, and two 4-foot concrete sidewalks that would be on both sides of the avenue. There would be curbs to improve the drainage of storm runoff.
Following the regular worship service last Sunday, the title of Jamestown's Quaker Meetinghouse on North Main Road was transferred to the Jamestown Historical Society, who has been charged with preservation and maintenance of the 1787 building.
10 years ago
From the Jamestown Press,
Sept. 26, 2002
Bridge delays, highway barn site occupy council. Highway departments – the state's and the island's – were among agenda items of concern to the Town Council at its meeting Monday at the town library.
(Photo caption) The Town Council is considering keeping the highway bay at Fort Wetherill.
Skateboarders and in-line skaters will have to wait until Oct. 15 to see if they get a skate park by the end of the year, and what kind of park it will be.

PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - A bomb squad responded to a report of heavy smoke at Pittsburgh International Airport on Thursday and found a singed bag concealed in a men's bathroom.
An airport concourse nearest the bathroom was shut down at 7:30 a.m. (1230 GMT) after smoke was seen coming from the restroom, according to JoAnn Jenny, a spokeswoman for the Allegheny County Airport Authority.
The bomb squad was called to the scene and found a charred bag, which contained a sleeping mat, inside a plumbing access panel, Jenny said.
She said investigators determined the smoke was caused by a lit cigarette that was flicked behind the panel, setting fire to paper towels and other trash trapped there and charring the bag.
Fire marshals were investigating the incident.
The concourse was reopened to the public at 11 a.m. (1600 GMT). While it was closed, flights for Delta, American and United Airlines were redirected to another concourse.

By Austin Chappell
Big 12 Campus Correspondent
One of the rarest, yet most interesting elements of sports can be found when multiple members of the same family achieve enough athletic success to play the same sport at a high level.
Barry Bonds, MLB's all-time home run leader, was coached by his father, Bobby. New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski currently has two brothers playing in the NFL, with one not far behind at Kansas State.
However, for Oklahoma State's Kristen Kelley and her seven brothers and sisters, the term "athletic family" is taken to a completely different level.
"Six out of the seven siblings played sports in college, so you can definitely say that there's some athleticism in the Kelley family," Kelley said. "And the only one who didn't play sports in college ended up coming here to get an education, but he's still a freak of an athlete."
Kelley, a senior midfielder from Tulsa, comes into her final year with OSU's Cowgirl Soccer squad as a four-year starter and the only senior on team, labeling her as a vital role model and example for success. Her reign at OSU has been filled with achievements, highlighted by trips to the Elite Eight in 2010 and 2011 and two Big 12 championships.
Yet, all of the awards and success she has compiled over the past four years is nothing new to the Kelley family.
Her brother, Tim, was a two-time All-Valley pitcher at Wichita State before earning a spot in the Detroit Tigers farm system in 2012. Claire, the youngest of the Kelley family, is beginning her freshman year as a member of Arkansas' soccer team. The family also has two uncles who earned All-America honors as baseball players at Wichita State.
Colin Carmichael, OSU's head coach, says that while Kristen is easily the hardest worker on the team, the natural sense of athleticism illustrated throughout her family is really what makes her such a special player.
"When we first recruited Kristen, we were just amazed at how she covered every blade of grass with her energy and enthusiasm," Carmichael said. "When you come from a big, athletic family like that, you're probably fighting and competing for everything. There's no doubt that that's rubbed off on her throughout her career and given her a step above her competition."
It's an added step that has given her the ability to succeed in several areas other than just on the soccer field.
In high school, Kelley was a four-year starter for Bishop Kelley's basketball team and earned honorable mention All-State honors while also being named a 2010 Army National Scholar Athlete and Scholar All-America by NSCAA/adidas.
Her devotion to academics and off-the-field activities have also earned her two-time Academic All-Big 12 First Team honors and a reputation on the team as a role model.
Carmichael said Kelley is the perfect example of someone the younger players on the team can look up to and model themselves after, not unlike that of a younger brother or sister.
"She's done an incredible job on and off the field of setting an example and being a responsible kid," Carmichael said. "The younger girls on our team should take a lot away from Kristen and the way she carries herself not only as an athlete, but also as a student-athlete."
While most athletes attribute a majority of their success to the same hard work and motivation that she displays, Kelley places an emphasis of what she has gained on the experiences and memories earned through her siblings and family. Whether it was playing tee ball in the backyard, racing against her little sister or calling shotgun on the way to the grocery store, everything was always a competition.
Kelley says it's those experiences, not just her work ethic or drive for success, that have motivated her throughout life and have gotten her to where she is now.
"It's always about competing with each other, like sibling to sibling, but when it comes to sports, it's on a whole different level," Kelley said. "I have learned so much just by always being in constant competition with them, and it makes me wonder how people can go through life without any siblings."
On top of the overall sense of competition and athleticism Kelley has obtained from her family, there are also individual traits and assets that she feels she has pulled away from each of her siblings. She absorbs the mental tactics and stability needed for playing midfield from her detail-oriented sister, Katie. Sean, the ultra-competitive older brother, has pushed her to extreme heights and provided her with resilience and motivation.
In addition, the overall atmosphere of constantly being surrounded by competing family members has helped her learn to work with people and be the definition of a "team player."
"When you get on teams, you see all these different personalities and you know that you're going to have to work with them no matter what to create the team chemistry that you need," Kelley said. "So, being around my brothers and sisters all the time has helped me know what to do, what not to do and how to treat everyone else when you're on a team. It's really beneficial for me playing on team sports because I get to see all these personalities that I've seen before in my family."
As she closes out her final year with the Cowgirls, Kelley serves as the only senior on the team. Just like she would do for a younger sibling, she hopes to pass on her leadership and experience to the future class of Cowgirls.
"The only thing I can do other than show up on the field is to just try and set a good example in practice and outside of soccer," Kelley said. "I really just want to leave behind a legacy of hard work and a lot of effort in everything you do."

Im heading down to Florida for two weeks over Christmas and will be based out of Tampa. I will be bringing my vehicle and plan to travel around to different areas like Miami and the Keys.
Can anyone recommend the best spots for Christmas kiting? I have not been kiting in Florida and do not know what the wind conditions are like in that time of year. From the windguru archives it seems as if the Islamorada area would be the best. From the map it seems you can kite on both sides of the keys there?

Man charged with putting hot sauce in boy's mouth
SALEM, Mass. (AP) — Prosecutors allege a man living in a Massachusetts hotel put hot sauce in the mouth of his girlfriend's 3-year-old son and then taped it shut.
Christopher Delcid was held on $250,000 bail after pleading not guilty Wednesday to assault and battery on a child and child abandonment.
The boy was found alone in the Danvers hotel room Tuesday. The child told police that bruises on his body were caused by his "daddy" who hit him with a shoe and a belt as punishment. The 21-year-old Delcid isn't the child's biological father.
Police responded to the hotel after a call from a relative.
The boy's mother, 20-year-old Katherine Rodriquez, is held on $100,000 bail after pleading not guilty Thursday to permitting assault and battery on a child and abandoning a child.

New Cortex processor delivers performance and configurability for embedded markets
CAMBRIDGE, UK - May 15, 2006 - ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)] today announced at the Spring Processor Forum, in San Jose, California, the new Cortex™-R4 processor for the next generation of mobile phones, hard-disk drives, printers and automotive designs, targeting more than one billion units in the embedded market. The Cortex-R4 processor delivers exceptional performance and efficiency to execute the complex control algorithms and real-time workloads in next-generation embedded products.
The Cortex-R4 processor enables configurability during synthesis to optimize the processor for different embedded applications through the memory protection unit, caches and tightly coupled memory (TCM). It does this without compromising the underlying ARM® instruction set compatibility, maximizing the reuse of existing software investments by application developers and third parties.
"For many years the low power, low cost ARM processor has been the architecture of choice for embedded microprocessor applications," said Will Strauss, president and principal analyst, Forward Concepts. "With the Cortex-R4 processor, ARM has listened to its customers and produced the product needed for the next generation of design challenges, continuing the ARM tradition of finding the market sweet spot and providing appropriate solutions to serve that market."
The enhanced configurability of the Cortex-R4 processor provides specific benefits for key markets including:
"The embedded market is evolving rapidly as systems become more sophisticated and software workloads increase in computational size and complexity." said John Cornish, VP, Marketing, Processor Division, ARM. "The new Cortex-R4 processor meets the needs of next-generation embedded products by delivering exceptional performance, efficiency, and configurability. This latest member of our Cortex processor family gives chip designers unparalleled capabilities for the development of 3G phones, hard-disk drives, imaging and automotive systems".
The Cortex-R4 processor provides the increased performance essential to address the diverse needs of the embedded market. The processor features an advanced microarchitecture with dual instruction issue capability to deliver more than 600 Dhrystone MIPS in a performance optimized 90nm implementation, based upon the ARM Artisan® Advantage™ library. The processor also provides key savings in cost and power consumption for system developers, occupying less than 1mm2 and consuming less than 0.27mW/MHz in an area optimized 90nm implementation.
ARM has already secured three lead licensees for the Cortex-R4 including Broadcom, and the processor has received support from major EDA, RTOS and tools vendors.
"Broadcom's design teams have been working with ARM to accelerate our leadership position in a number of markets, including next-generation storage, networking, and mobile devices," said Ed Frank, VP of Research & Development, Broadcom. "The new Cortex-R4 processor from ARM will bring significant performance and functionality benefits to our products and enhance the end user's experience.
Cortex-R4 Processor-based System Benefits
The Cortex-R4 processor runs the ARMv7 ISA making it fully backwards compatible with existing ARM code that powers billions of systems around the world, and is optimized for the Thumb-2 instruction set. This allows numerous benefits including lower clock speed, bringing power-saving advantages; higher performance, which offers feature-rich additions to mobile phones and automotive designs; and more complex algorithms for higher performance digital imaging and hard-disk drive systems.
Using the Thumb-2 instruction set, together with the ARM RealView Development Suite, allows on-chip memory sizes to be reduced by up to 30 percent, saving significant cost in the system. In addition it can produce a 40 percent performance improvement over the previous Thumb instruction set running on an ARM946E-S™ processor. As memory is an increasingly large proportion of a chip, this provides a significant saving in area and cost to chip makers using the processor for SoC devices.
The ARM Cortex-R4 processor is available for licensing now, along with the majority of the supporting technology. The Instruction Set Simulator (ISS) and RealView Development Suite tools environment for the Cortex-R4 processor is available today to lead and existing licensees, and for general release on request.
The complementary technologies for implementing full SoC solutions such as the AMBA 3 AXI Interconnect (PL301), Configurable Dynamic Memory Controller (PL340), Static Memory Controller Family (PL350) and L2 Cache (L220) are all available now.

Several weeks ago our group organized a trip to both repositories. Most of the day we spent researching at the archives. After dinner we planned a brief visit to the law library. The original idea was to browse the shelves and then head back home. That was until we rounded a corner and discovered shelves of land records for every county in the state.
Sitting down on the floor I pulled out each book and discovered records for my husband's family. Passages describing purchases of property, inheritance records, and plot locations filled with names I had researched for years.
Feeling flushed with excitement I was busy writing down facts and copying pages. This caused several of my fellow researchers to chuckle over my obvious enthusiasm.
While preparing to leave for the evening I searched one last shelf. On sheer impulse selected a book entitled "Obituaries from Maryland Newspapers, Queen Anne's County, May 1851 to October 1853, (includes Marriages)" by Trish Surles.
To this day I don't know why I chose this volume since my husband's ancestors resided in a different county. Listed in the idex was the name Montecue, a variation on my husband's great-grandmother Rachel Montague's surname.
On the page was the following record:
Listed was the marriage announcement for my husband's great-great grandparents!
Saturday Morning, October 9, 1852
Married On the 5th inst. by the Rev. Mr. Cooper, Mr. David Montecue to Miss Mary Ann Connelly - both of this county.
For years I have searched for proof that Mary Ann Connelly married David Montecue. Now we have dates, who married the couple and the fact they resided in another county at the time. With this accidental discovery we can piece together several family lines.
How easily we fall into the rut of researching where most comfortable. Sometimes you have to cross the road to see what treasure lies on the other side!
Special thanks to the "2 Carols" for organizing this group field trip.

SQL Server professionals are masters of multitasking. SQL Server Magazine's first-annual salary and industry survey puts a face on the typical SQL Server professional. And it's the face of a hard-working DBA responsible for a variety of crucial IT tasks who, despite organizational politics and economic stresses, loves a job that's full of challenging puzzles to solve—and that makes a difference.
In this issue, SQL Server Magazine examines the responses of the 778 people who participated in our comprehensive 2004 survey, which explored everything from work environment, job titles, and job functions to compensation details. We also received a wealth of candid comments about your job satisfaction, what keeps you in the industry, and what keeps you up at night. In this leadoff article, we profile our respondents, looking at demographic information and SQL Server pros at work. In "Who Makes What?" (page 23), we tackle compensation, analyzing salaries, bonuses, and other benefits and looking at where the best-paying jobs are—and who has them. And in "SQL Server Pros: Surviving or Thriving?" (page 29), we examine why so many SQL Server pros love their work, even though their jobs can be tough to take.
Who Are You?
According to our survey, the typical SQL Server professional is white (75 percent of respondents), male (86 percent), and in the 30- to 39-year-old age range (46 percent). He holds the job title of DBA (41 percent), has a bachelor's degree (37 percent), and lives on the US East Coast (32 percent). This typical IT pro is a full-time employee (91 percent), has 6-10 years of IT experience (37 percent), and has been with his organization between 1 and 5 years (53 percent).
Don't fit this profile? Although three-fourths of our survey respondents are white, 14 percent are Asian, 4 percent are Hispanic or Latino, 2 percent are black or African American, 2 percent said they're a mix of races, and 1 percent reported native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander ethnicity. Males continue to dominate the SQL Server industry, as they do in IT as a whole, but 14 percent of our respondents are female. And although more than 45 percent of survey participants said they're between 30 and 39 years old, 16 percent are under 30, 28 percent are between 40 and 49 years old, and 9 percent are between 50 and 59 years old. Only 1 percent of respondents said they're over 60.
Figure 1 shows respondents by job title. After DBA, which garnered 41 percent of responses, the most popular job titles were application developer/programmer (15 percent), database developer and IT director/ manager (each with 7 percent), systems administrator (5 percent), and consultants and other (each claimed 4 percent). Other job titles included application architect, systems architect, business intelligence (BI)/data warehouse architect, database designer/modeler, network administrator, and executive management. But no matter what their job title, as we'll see in a moment, all respondents spread their time across a variety of IT duties, spending a significant amount of time on database design, development, and administration.
Survey results show that besides the 37 percent of respondents who have a bachelor's degree, 20 percent have a master's degree, and 14 percent have done some graduate work. As Figure 2 illustrates, 37 percent of respondents have 6-10 years of IT experience. More than 15 percent have been in the industry 1-5 years, 33 percent have worked in IT between 11 and 20 years, and 11 percent have 21-30 years' experience. More than 50 percent of survey participants have worked with SQL Server for between 1-5 years, and 37 percent have worked with the database system between 6 and 10 years. In addition to SQL Server experience, respondents said they have experience with the ubiquitous Microsoft Access (86 percent), Oracle (50 percent), Sybase (27 percent), FoxPro (24 percent), the open-source MySQL (23 percent), and IBM DB2 (19 percent).
Of the approximately 480 respondents who said they do application development, 33 percent have 1-5 years of experience in programming, 30 percent have 6-10 years' experience, and 23 percent have 11-20 years' experience. Figure 3 shows the database and programming languages respondents use. More than 90 percent use T-SQL—no surprise there. The next most popular languages are VBScript and Visual Basic 6.0 (54 percent each), with ASP/ASP.NET (43 percent), Visual Basic .NET (39 percent), and XML (33 percent) all having healthy usage. And, more respondents use Oracle's PL/SQL (28 percent) than C# (23 percent).
Survey results show that only 8 percent of respondents aren't employed by organizations full-time. Of those people, 5 percent said they are consultants, 2 percent are contract workers, and 1 percent work freelance or are self-employed.
Putting in Your Time
According to the survey, the 40-hour workweek is a myth to most SQL Server professionals. More than 60 percent of respondents work between 40 and 60 hours a week, as Figure 4 shows. A significant 17 percent work up to 70 hours a week, 5 percent put in up to 80 hours, and a worn-out 5 percent work between 80 and 100 hours per week.
How does that time break down between the office, working from home, working at other locations, and being on call? More than 81 percent spend between 30 and 50 hours at the office, 10 percent spend 51 to 60 hours at the office, and 3 percent spend more than 60 hours at the office. More than 60 percent of respondents put in 1-10 hours a week from home, with 13 percent working 11-20 hours from home a week. Only 23 respondents work any hours at another location, such as a client site; 13 percent of respondents said they spend 1-10 hours per week at another location. Although 41 percent of survey participants said they aren't on call, 30 percent reported that they are on call 1-5 hours a week, and 24 percent are on call more than 10 hours a week.
The SQL Server Pro Habitat
Seventy percent of survey respondents work in the United States; Figure 5 shows US respondents' locations by region, with 32 percent of participants living on the East Coast. We also had respondents from Europe (12 percent), Asia/Pacific (6 percent), Canada (6 percent), and other locations, including Central and South America, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, India, Puerto Rico, Thailand, Russia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, China, and Bermuda.
Slicing respondents by industry, finance (15 percent) and health care (12 percent) lead the pack, as Figure 6 shows. Other survey participants were spread across consulting, IT services, government, real estate and insurance, manufacturing, retail or distribution, education, and many other segments. Nineteen percent of respondents work in companies with 1-99 employees, and 18 percent work in organizations with 1000-4999 employees. As Figure 7 illustrates, 12 percent of survey participants are in organizations with 100-249 employees, 12 percent are in companies with 500-999 employees, and another 12 percent are in businesses with more than 25,000 workers. Survey results show that respondents have spent a fair amount of time with their organizations. More than half have been with their current company for 1-5 years, 20 percent for 6-10 years, and 7 percent for 11-15 years; 14 percent have spent less than a year with their current company.
Almost 45 percent of respondents work on a database development and administration team with fewer than 5 people, including themselves. Nearly 30 percent work on teams between 5-20 people, and 8 percent work on a team of 200 or more people. On the application-development side, teams tend to be larger, with 25 percent reporting a development-team size of 1-4 people on the low end, and 16 percent reporting a team size of 200 or more people. Sixteen percent of respondents work on a development team between 50 and 199 people. The typical size of BI/OLAP teams is 1-4 people (41 percent).
SQL Server is the primary database platform for more than 70 percent of respondents' companies, with Oracle coming in a distant second at 15 percent, and DB2 trailing at 7 percent. However, 54 percent of those surveyed said their organization uses Oracle as well as SQL Server; DB2 is in use at 28 percent of sites. Nearly 34 percent of survey participants said SQL Server is running on 5-20 servers in their organization, and 25 percent said they have 1-4 SQL Server machines in their company. Almost 10 percent said they had 200 or more SQL Servers. More than 20 percent of respondents said their organizations support 101-500 database users, 19 percent support more than 5000 users, and 17 percent support 1001-5000 users.
We saw earlier in looking at job titles that 41 percent of respondents are DBAs. However, 93 percent of all survey participants work on database administration, with 28 percent spending more than 50 percent of their time on this task. For respondents who said they spent time on the job functions listed in the survey, Figure 8, page 22, shows how much time the respondents said they spend on each task. For example, 94 percent of respondents work on database development, and Figure 8 shows that 19 percent of those respondents spend more than 50 percent of their time on this task. More than 90 percent of survey participants also said they work on database design and modeling, and 13 percent of those spend more than 50 percent of their time on this task. About 17 percent of respondents who do application development spend more than 50 percent of their time on that responsibility, Web site development gets strong focus from about 14 percent of respondents, and 12 percent of respondents who develop reporting solutions spend a good deal of their time on that task.
In Figure 8, also notice how many tasks people spend less than 10 percent of their time on. A variety of small tasks can eat up a lot of time and cause respondents to feel scattered and unfocused. For instance, more than 60 percent of our respondents spend time—but less than 10 percent of their time—on department and group management, IT management and strategic business planning, network design and architecting, OLAP/data mining system administration, data warehouse/data mart administration, reporting solutions administration, network administration, security administration, storage administration, messaging infrastructure administration, end-user and desktop support, and training. That's a lot of tasks to have your fingers in. And 79 percent of our respondents said that their duties remain unchanged from last year.
Figure 9 profiles how DBA respondents divide their time. Not surprisingly, they spend most of their time, 17 percent, on database administration, giving 10 percent of their time to database development, 9 percent to developing and administering reporting solutions, 8 percent to database design and modeling, 8 percent to developing and administering data warehouses and data marts, and 8 percent to application development and administration. The graph goes on to show all the other minute claims on their time.
What new business-critical initiatives do respondents' companies plan to build or implement in the next year? More than 40 percent will be working on additional application development solutions, database management solutions, and database development solutions. More than 30 percent of respondents will be working on Web databases, security enhancements, infrastructure/server/network enhancements, XML and Web services, backup and recovery solutions, application management solutions, and BI solutions. And more than a quarter of survey respondents will be working on high-availability solutions, server consolidation, storage management solutions, financial applications, performance-tuning solutions, and customer resource management (CRM) applications.
Needless to say, boredom wasn't among respondents' complaints. And many survey participants cited the variety of work and the excitement of being part of a fast-paced, ever-changing industry as key to their career satisfaction. Be sure to read the other survey articles in this issue to see whether compensation is balancing out all the long hours and what SQL Server pros like and dislike most about their jobs.

Gov. John Hickenlooper has been a lightning rod for the controversy surrounding oil and gas production in Colorado, specifically the industry's use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to reach natural gas deposits locked in subterranean rock.
On Thursday night, the Democrat discussed the topic as part of the FrackingSENSE lecture series at the University of Colorado.
The former geologist talked about his relationship to the oil and gas industry and how he seeks to be impartial in his decision making.
"I am constantly attacked now for being in the pocket of oil and gas, or somehow subservient to their philosophy or their wish," he said. "The Quakers have a term called 'fair witness,' someone who comes in and they don't have an ax to grind ... and that is what I try to be."
Hickenlooper said the science on the impacts of fracking is far from settled, and the focus should be on getting "better, more persuasive facts." He said once there is an accepted set of facts about fracking, opponents and proponents will have a baseline for reasonable discussion and compromise.
Sponsored by the Center of the American West, CU Continuing Education, Boulder County and the AirWaterGas Research Network, FrackingSENSE seeks to bring in speakers with expertise in the field to discuss "what we know, what we don't know and what we hope to learn about natural gas development."
Thursday's talk was moderated by CU historian Patty Limerick. All questions from the public were submitted on paper.
Hickenlooper said science has made fracking more effective and safer than it was before, with some large oil companies claiming they are nearing a point where 100 percent of the fracking fluid can be recycled.
But he said scientists don't know the impacts of wells on the air, with many opponents claiming gases such as methane leak from wells, damaging air quality and creating health concerns for nearby residents.
He said state officials are working to substantially increase fines for companies whose wells leak or cause an adverse environmental impact. The ultimate goal, he said, is to create a regulatory environment in the state where accidents don't happen because companies cannot afford them.
"If we find unhealthy air quality around a community and something coming out of a well that is an issue, we will put the brakes on faster than you can imagine," he said.
Hickenlooper noted the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission earlier this year approved rules making Colorado the first state to require energy companies to do groundwater testing both before and after they drill wells.
The commission has filed a lawsuit against Longmont for banning fracking.
"When you ban fracking, you really say you are going to supersede the state's authority," Hickenlooper said.
He added that in Colorado, separate people or entities can own surface property rights and subsurface property rights, and to ban fracking would be to deprive some mineral rights holders access to their property.
Hickenlooper said the best thing people can do to make progress on the issue of fracking is to continue talking about it.
"Where progress happens is where people recognize a broader self-interest," he said. "The best and only way that happens long-term is when people are talking with each other and arguing it out."
Two people were removed from the lecture hall for disrupting the talk Thursday night.
A woman was asked to leave for speaking out after Hickenlooper made a joke about people from Houston being accustomed to living alongside the oil industry. The woman contended he was making light of something that was causing serious health issues.
A man was later asked to leave when he stood up and began speaking in the middle of Limerick's question-and-answer session with Hickenlooper.

In its second week on the charts, Motteke Seeraafuku continues its amazing sales. It is in sixth place this week, with sales of almost 30,000 units, making a two-week total of 95,667 sold.
This is remarkable, considering that the high-selling Happy Materials, from the first Negima series, only had sales of 51,809 after two weeks, and Hare Hare Yukai, the Suzumiya Haruhi ED, had a total of 47,586 -- less than half what Motteke has sold.
By the way, the little video featured in the middle of the Oricon main page this week is the new single by Chihara Minori (Yuki in Suzumiya Haruhi). Click on it to view the whole song in a larger viewer window.

Your degree is actually a lot less light than the other things we talk of here. Congratulations!
I did click on Chihara Minori's PV. Not my style, to put it one way. I've enjoyed her singing more in other pieces.
Motteke was in sixth place for the past week. It was in ninth place on Monday's daily chart, but slipped out of the top twenty for Tuesday, the day fourteen of that day's top twenty songs were released. We'll see if the new releases sink below it in the days to come.
I will hardly claim it is great music, but it is a charming novelty piece, and quite infectious. It's one of the few OPs that I watch every time I watch an episode, but because of the combination of animation and music, not for the music alone.
Actually, the best music I've heard recently was six guys from two semi-pro bands playing at a party in someone's barn. There's so much good music around, but it's not always on the charts, and not always that easy to find.

Motteke is down to #14 in this week's chart. Not bad, still, with 10,000 units sold, so over 100,000 sold in the first three weeks. In Thursday's daily ranking, it's at #18, up from below #20 the day before.
Chihara Minori's single started at #20 in its first week.

Behold the power of the otaku, lol. I do wonder if the CD with all the EDs is gonna do as well as this.
Totally OT, but how did Ishikawa Chiaki's Bokurano OP/ED single do? Just curious, since IMO it's the best piece of music I heard this season.

I know I've said this already, but I think a lot of the songs success owed itself in no smart part to popular association, and it had to do with the image of the song more than it's content (overall that is). There's good sales and then there's "Support Our Troops/Idol" mass rally sales of the L'Arc En Ciel, Nana Mizuki, those groups that always debut in the top spot on name alone etc. variety. I think the latter happened for the most part in this case. It's always been that way. Sailor Fuku had a one (Singer), two (Censored), three (Invocation of A Certain Other Similar Song) punch behind it in terms of reasons to buy it on top of being a decent piece of work, albeit one I think gets old rather quickly. And yes I'll admit I'm not terribly fond of the song (it's lost its lustre with me fairly quickly), but I've tried to leave that out of my analysis as best I can. I'm going to try to be more straightforward from now on, in a good way. Mine is just one persons thoughts anyway.
By the way Uninstall seems to be getting better reviews, but lower sales. It does not seem to have that Mass Support that some songs get. I think it has a 1 hit punch overall in the singer. Who cares though, since when have sales ever been the perfect indication of how people will enjoy a song anyway. I too happen to prefer Uninstall to Sailor Fuku overall. I like that Oricon doesn't just settle for numbers, but gives you some qualitive info to go on for the song to.
Anyway..... *Goes back to listening to Howling*

Finally, Lucky Star BGM CD 01!
I love all five tracks --- the ones we've been hearing since the first. Its also pretty nifty to receive a page telling you when each track was first played.

A master of complimentary BGM, I'd say. I wonder if he took classes from Sagisu Shirou.
I'd say its a gift that his OSTs aren't meant to be listened to standalone.
Konata's theme FTW. Looking forward to the other versions too.

Well I haven't listened to his Tekken 5 music, not having played the game. I think Suzumiya Haruhi's music(or at least, just the day-to-day life tracks) also had that melodious, yet minimalist stamp of his inked all over.
Itsumo no Fuukei my best case in point. I love it, and it still stands as his best track for me.

Faculty of Forestry
The Faculty of Forestry is one of the faculties that cherishes its roots going back to the Selmec era. Its two hundred years of history is described in detail in the chapter entitled "The History of the University." From that it is important to mention here Hungary's pride in its students of forestry, mining and metallurgy who offered armed resistance in the Ágfalva fights in 1921. They defended the Western border of the country, when the dictated peace of Trianon wanted to separate Sopron and the neighbouring settlements from Hungary, in addition to the other enormous losses of territory.
The victorious fight of the students led to the referendum, where the citizens of Sopron and the area revealed that they wanted to belong to Hungary. The National Assembly conferred the honourable title "Civitas Fidelissima" on the city out of gratitude. Owing to the forestry students of that time Sopron remained a Hungarian city.
At the Faculty of Forestry there are five B.Sc. programs in natural sciences, agriculture and technology. The present three M.Sc. programs will soon be increased to five.
The education of forest engineers at the faculty is unique in Hungary. Its characteristics stem from its origin as a companion course to the technical training of mining engineers.
For a long time, students of mining and forestry studied basic and technical subjects together. By keeping this tradition, particular emphasis is placed on the teaching of technical subjects. Forestry students acquire technical, scientific, ecological and economic knowledge, and gain experience in forest and wildlife management and nature conservation.
In 1993 the Faculty of Forestry was the first in Hungary to start a Wildlife Manager training program, which prepares students for game protection and nature conservation tasks, while making them committed to preserving the stock of game as a national asset. The 1,166 hectare University Hunting Training Area, established under the direction of the Institute of Wildlife Management and Vertebrate Zoology, provides practice oriented education where students gain practical experience in monitoring and managing wildlife.
In 2003 the Faculty of Forestry was the first in the country to start a full time program of Nature Conservation Engineering. Students are trained in ecology and biology and acquire profound knowledge of natural processes, living organisms and communities, protected and vulnerable natural resources. Graduating students are prepared to preserve the natural environment.
The training of Environment Engineers prepares students for environment protection and development, environmental damage prevention, rational utilization of natural resources and developing low-waste technologies.
The Environmental Science program educates applied environment researchers in the scientific areas of this multidisciplinary environmental science. They have an up-to-date scientific attitude and a good command of foreign languages to be able to examine the tasks of the environmental science in Hungary in a European and global framework.
Practice oriented training at the faculty is assisted by collections belonging to the institutes.
The 300 piece mineralogical collection and the 100 piece petrographical collection, at the Department of Forest Site Survey, were founded in Selmecbánya. They present the most important domestic minerals and rocks in a taxonomic order. These collections acquaint the students with the characteristics of the minerals and rocks they study.
There is also a 56 piece monolith exhibition, which shows the Hungarian soil types and classifications based on genetics and soil geography.
The herbarium at the Institute of Botany and Nature Protection is the basis of botany education. Its earliest parts originate from Selmecbánya. Today it comprises the historical collections of plants, the plant species of the Carpathian Basin, collections of woody and non-woody plants, seed, fruit and bud collections, wood block collections and a photographic archive of plant species.
The vertebrate zoological collection brought to Sopron from Selmecbánya forms the basis of the collection of the Institute of Sylviculture and Forest Protection. Its first specimens were bought by the academy in 1842. After World War I, it was one of Hungary's most extensive and best quality collections. The collection, which is still growing today, presents 1,105 specimens of 106 vertebrate species. The collection comprises 1,227 eggs of 92 bird and reptile species and the characteristic bones or skeletons of 93 vertebrates. A plant pathology collection also belongs to the institute.
The vertebrate zoological collection belonging to the Institute of Wildlife Management and Vertebrate Zoology has the skulls, bones and preparations of domestic species, and a unique collection of eggs. Practical hunting training is aided by a collection of more than 50 firearms and a complete ammunition collection. A manifold wildlife management collection presents preparations, trophies and track and droppings samples of the huntable bird and mammal species, and several protected species, models of tools, traps and equipment, as well as the dioramas of the most characteristic domestic habitats.
The bulk of the insectarium's insects, butterflies, Hymenoptera and Neuroptera,
originates from the collection of Dr. János Győrfi (1905-1966), an internationally recognized forest entomology professor.
The Faculty of Forestry has a significant scientific capacity; 80 percent of the lecturers have advanced degrees. Its research areas are: the natural and economic conditions of forest management, wildlife management, the forest as an ecosystem, population and ecological genetics, impact assessment of climate change, nature conservation, environment protection, molecular bases of the physiological processes of forest trees and dendro-chemistry. Research is done in the fields of forest management, forest protection, forest management planning, opening-up of forests, water management, big game research, small game and waterfowl research, flora research and mapping, vegetation research and mapping, environmental monitoring, geophysics, hydrogeology, geomatics, planetology, landscape research, nature conservation, development of forestry mechanization and noise-vibration analysis.
The concentration of the research, development and innovation activities of the institutes and the utilization of the faculty's intellectual capacity for the industry is managed by two independent organisational units, ERFARET (Forest and Timber Utilization Regional Knowledge Centre) and KKK (Environmental Cooperation Research Centre Non-profit Ltd).
The bulk of research consists of long-term monitoring research activities. The faculty operates several research stations in compliance with the specific research areas. The forest hydrology research station of the faculty is at Hidegvíz Valley, where the Institute of Geomatics and Civil Engineering does forest hydrological monitoring in cooperation with other institutes. Field research aims at investigating the crown and litter interception, the evapotranspiration of riparian forest ecosystems, the water regime and sediment transport of forest streams. The aim of the research is to explore the hydrologic cycle of the forest covered catchment in hilly regions and to calculate and model the relations of their water budget elements.
The impact of climate change on tree stands is examined at the meteorological station in the beech forest of Hidegvíz Valley. The movement of the climate frontiers is explored at the Somogy meteorological station set up close to the climate frontier. Observation was restarted at the meteorological station in the botanical garden of the university in the 1980s. From 1925 it operated as the meteorological station of the city for half a century.
The Breuer György Research Station at Lake Fertő, operated by the Institute of Wildlife Management and Vertebrate Zoology, was completed in the summer of 2007. The project was accomplished with the support of the Forest and Timber Utilization Regional Knowledge Centre program (ERFARET). The research base is surrounded by the Fertő-region biosphere reserve, a landscape-protection area. This is a water habitat of international significance for nesting and migration of waterfowl. As a cultural landscape it is part of the World Heritage. The research house, made of natural materials (wood and reed), fitting into its environment, is the site of wildlife and marine biological observations, nature conservation research and bird ringing camps. The research station does bird ringing in the reed belt and muddy shallows of Lake Fertő, long-term wildlife biological monitoring and ecological status assessment. It is equipped for doing laboratory work and for teaching small groups of students.
The Studinka László Research Station is at Irénmajor adjacent to Mosonszolnok. Its eponym was a famous wildlife manager and ornithologist of the region. In 2007-2008 it was renewed with the assistance of the MEZORT Company. It is an important centre of small game, great bustard and nature conservation research.
The hunting lodge, built in the 1920s by the legendary professor Gyula Roth, stands in the hunting training area of the Sopron hills. It is the ideal site for students' field training and for vertebrate zoological and big game research.
The Faculty of Forestry operates a research station and an educational centre at the Sümeg Mogyorós Hill Nature Conservation Area. Mogyorós Hill is rich in scenic, natural and cultural-historical values, and is one of Hungary's most significant geological assets. Forest open-air school programs, folk dance camps and camps for preserving cultural traditions, creative art camps and scientific conferences take place in the educational centre organised by the Forestry Museum. Visitors can learn about the wonderful natural resources of Mogyorós Hill in the open-air museum at the sites of the original exposures equipped with information boards. The faculty is planning to further develop the area by establishing an ecopark and by operating a well equipped forest open-air school.
With the modernization of education, the building of the Institute of Chemistry and Soil Science was renovated in 2007. Educational and research laboratories were renewed and new analytical and soil-testing laboratories were brought into use. The instrument park of the institute was also extended significantly. In the past years the main building of the university, which houses the Institute of Botany and Nature Protection, the Institute of Wildlife Management and Vertebrate Zoology and the Institute of Geomatics and Civil Engineering, was also renovated. In the course of renovation new laboratories and tutorial rooms were built. The new educational centre in Erzsébet Park was inaugurated in 2007. The building houses the Institute of Environment and Earth Sciences and the Foreign Language Centre.
The Faculty of Forestry maintains relations with German, Slovenian, Czech, Romanian, Canadian, Austrian, Slovakian, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian and Chinese universities. It has close relations with universities and professional institutions at home and abroad, including IUFRO (International Union of Forest Research Organisations), EFI (European Forest Institute), CIC (International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation), ERTI (Forest Science Institute), OEE (National Forestry Association), MEGOSZ (Association of Hungarian Private Forest Owners), FAGOSZ (Hungarian Federation of Forestry and Wood Industries), Hungarian Chamber of Engineers, OMVV (Hungarian Hunters' National Society) and OMVK (Hungarian Hunters' National Chamber).

M. Night Shyamalan has outdone himself yet again ... but not in a good way.
I actually enjoyed his films up until "The Village," which had its moments but was ultimately a letdown. Then "The Lady in the Water" came out and I couldn't gain interest in it whatsoever.
He hit his low spot with "The Happening," but even that movie is redeeming in you can make fun of it to get some enjoyment.
Now, he has unleashed "The Last Airbender," a film not even worth making fun of.

MADRID (AP) — Spain's National Court on Wednesday ruled against extraditing a former HSBC employee to Switzerland, where he faces charges of stealing and revealing client information.
A statement said that the court rejected the charges that Swiss authorities had wanted to bring against Herve Falciani, who allegedly stole information between 2006 and 2007 relating to 24,000 customers of the Swiss division of HSBC.
Details of the accounts were sent to France's former finance minister, Christine Lagarde — now head of the International Monetary Fund — who passed them on to other governments in the U.S. and European Union. The move exposed many of HSBC's Swiss clients to prosecution for tax evasion as well as adding political pressure on Switzerland to crack down the practice.
The court statement said two of the Swiss charges — revelation of secrets and infringing client confidentiality — could not be used to protect suspected illegal activities. It said one other — bank secrecy — did not exist in Spain. Regarding a fourth charge of financial espionage, the court said Switzerland was using this for its own interests and not those of other states, and as such it could not be taken as a base for extradition.
The court said it was lifting all restrictions against Falciani, allowing him to leave Spain if he chooses. He has French and Italian citizenship.
A former employee of global banking group HSBC, Falciani was arrested in July 2012 after he left France by sea and tried to enter Spain through the northeastern port of Barcelona.
The court released him last December but withdrew his passport. It argued then that Falciani was cooperating with investigators from several European countries in probes into tax evasion, money-laundering and terrorism financing.
In an interview with El Pais newspaper last month, Falciani, 40, said it was U.S. Justice Department officials who originally suggested he should go to Spain because he was in danger.
At an extradition hearing April 15, Falciani said that he told Swiss authorities in 2008 about what he had discovered at HSBC Private Bank (Suisse) SA, but that they refused to let him make an anonymous complaint.

My father - here about to turn 75 - browses the tool and garden section of a Montgomery Ward sales catalog in the living room of our Larkspur, California home. We were regular Wards customers, for both in-store purchases and catalog orders. Several editions of their complete catalog were always to be seen on bottom shelf of the pink enamel cart in the Salmon Kitchen™, conveniently located for my mother's perusal. She was of the generation that still occasionally referred to it as a "wish book," although that term most often meant the Sears catalog. Non-union Sears, however, was off-limits to us as Father, a member of the Retail Clerks International Union, was loath to be seen entering one of their stores. In the background, my record collection. Some sharp-eyed Shorpy detectives might be able to identify the chap pictured on the one on the middle shelf, but extra points for pinpointing the album. Note, though, that there's something of a forensic complication. Kodachrome slide, shot with bounce flash. |

Beach House Celebrated "Teen Dream" At The Bell House
Baltimore group Beach House released their third album, Teen Dream, (first on Sub Pop) this week and celebrated with a show at The Bell House in Brooklyn.
Singer/organ player Victoria Legrand and guitarist Alex Scally were joined by a drummer, who added a lot to the show. They played mostly from the new album, which is wonderful. It includes a reworking of the 2008 song "Used to Be" that I am loving–it's a little more rollicking and drawn out–and first single "Norway" is dreamy and beautiful and a little bit poppy. The show, as Legrand said, was "like a birthday party" and the fans there were more than happy to help celebrate. Legrand's wild hair and throaty voice, along with furry Dr. Seuss-like trees on the stage created a quixotic and magical atmosphere that the new album demands.
Baltimore's Jana Hunter opened the show and did a good job of forming the dreamy mood. Hunter also has a unique voice, but she is much quieter–which is saying a lot given how calm Beach House's music is already.
Beach House is heading to Europe now, but returns to the States on March 26 for a cross-country tour behind the album and will be at Webster Hall on May 6. Tickets are on sale now.

Full Review
This time the target of our expert team is the trading platform IQ Option. We checked, whether its activity is licensed, the procedures of depositing and withdrawal of funds, testimonials and feedback. The results are given in more detail below.
Is IQ Option a Scam or Not?
IQ Option is a binary option platform that has been operating since 2013. It is a rather significant period of time, considering, that binary options trading is a relatively new kind of trading.

First of all, the activity of IQ Option is licensed by CySEC, it means, its activity is regulated and controlled. As the second evidence of reliability can be considered numerous awards, that IQ Option got for its excellent service. IQ Option can afford such things as being a sponsor of the most significant sport events, such as the Formula 4. That does not tell much about the reliability of the broker itself, but we can make an assumption, that a broker, that does not earn, cannot perform such activities.
That means, a trader, who has an account with IQ Option, earns too, otherwise he/she would not register with IQ Option and would not use its signals. Based on these significant facts, we can assume, that IQ Option is a reliable broker, and the signals offered by it help to trade successfully.

And do not forget about the bonuses! 80% from the sum of the first deposit are returned into the account of a trader as a bonus.
- The VIP Account is an account that can be afforded not by each trader. The sum of initial deposit is much higher, that the deposit sum in case with the Real Account. Though we shall agree, that conditions are quite different, too. Take the 100% money return for each deposit. But this is just a start. The owners of VIP can enjoy the services of a private account manager, they receive every month detailed analysis of trading strategies, and some more things that do not influence the trading itself, but make the life of a VIP account owner much more comfortable.
