How to retrieve the SPGroup Description
In this days I worked on a timer job that sync the groups from a site collection to another.
For the first time on my life, copy the description of the group to another was a software requirement.
My expectation was copy the description from the property Description of the SPGroup class:
and set the description of the new group by the same property after that I created it. But if you use it the description that is not show on the group page:
to do that we should work with the property SiteUserInfoList of SPWeb class:
var g = syncWeb.SPWeb.SiteGroups [ "Group Name" ];
var text = ( SPFieldMultiLineText )syncWeb.SPWeb.SiteUserInfoList.Fields [ SPBuiltInFieldId.Notes ];
SPListItem groupItem = syncWeb.SPWeb.SiteUserInfoList.GetItemById ( g.ID );
map.Description = text.GetFieldValueAsText ( groupItem [ text.InternalName ] );
into map.Description we will have the html for the About me column, but we can use it when we need have to create a new group as:
SPWeb.SiteGroups.Add ( group.Name, adm, adm,
string.Format ( "{0} {1}", group.Description, Constants.GROUP_SYNC_DESC ) );

SPWeb and the adventure with the property bag
Chronologically speaking the last funny thing was about the SPWeb Property Bag.
First of all in SPWeb object we can find:
According to MSDN the Properties property:
This property returns only a subset of the metadata for a website. To get all the metadata, use the AllProperties property.
Basically this property is still there for backward compatibility, so now it's better to use the AllProperties property.
That's ok but let me talk about an issue that I got. If you are working with the property bag and you want to remove a key/value from it an easy and normal way seem to be:
if ( web.AllProperties.ContainsKey ( property.Key.ToString ( ) ) )
web.AllProperties.Remove ( property.Key.ToString ( ) );
web.Update ( );
but that way doesn't work and neither does setting the value to null before calling the Remove method (as many suggest around the web).
The only useful way that I've found is to do this:
if ( web.AllProperties.ContainsKey ( property.Key.ToString ( ) ) )
web.DeleteProperty ( property.Key.ToString ( ) );
From MSDN: This method deletes a property from the AllProperties property that is a key/value pair.
Taking a look inside the Microsoft.Sharepoint.dll about the DeleteProperty method seems it calls the Remove method of the HashTable as I wrote above:
and that is what is inside that method:
Maybe a little bit more scouting would make the idea clearer.

Print Properties of an Object
Let think about this, you wanna print all the properties in a SPWeb property bag. To do that you can write a script like this:
$site = Get-SPSite -Identity https://mySPSite $site.RootWeb.AllProperties | % {$_ | Format-Table | Out-String)}
If you want can show the Properties Table as a List just changing the Format-Table command with Format-List
see ya!

One bit of happy sadness at our house, my Grandfather died one day before his 100th Christmas. Sad because we love him so much. Happy because he's free from his worn-out body and he got to be with Grandma for Christmas!
I plan to return to the regularly scheduled blogging sometime next week after more family and funeral time.
In the mean time, have yourself a Happy little Boxing Day.

Parker Music Group was founded in 1994, and has provided Music Clearance & Licensing services to a wide variety of clients and productions.
We take pride in providing our clients with serious, experienced and professional services, which respect their individual sense of urgency and project requirements.
Music Clearance is the process whereby permission is obtained from the owners of a Song for use within your production.
A Song consists of two parts – the written musical Composition and the artist's Master Recording of the musical Composition.
The Composition is usually controlled by one or more publishing entities which represent the actual composers of the Song. The Master Recording is usually controlled by whatever record label the artist was signed to at the time he made this recording.
Ownership of a musical Composition and artist Master Recording can be complicated, involving two or more different ownership parties…all of whom must be contacted and must give their written permission and quoted license fee for use of their property within your production.
If permission is received from all ownership parties of the Song, you can then make the decision as to whether or not you wish to move ahead to Licensing.
Receiving permission and quotes from all ownership parties of the Song you wish to use in your production does not obligate you to use the Song. You may decide, at that point, to move in a different direction creatively or you may simply feel that the quoted license fee is outside your budget. If you do decide that you wish to license the use, we can request the legal document called a License Agreement from each party, on your behalf. You will need to sign each license received from all ownership parties to the Song, and pay all quoted license fees, in order to use the Song in your production.
Your production can consist of any type of media... Television, Film, Audio Recordings, Video, Advertising, Internet, Video Games, Power Point Presentations, Cell Phone Ring Tones, Live Stage Plays, Corporate Presentations, Samples, Toys... any way you can imagine to use music is another type of media.
Parker Music Group would be very happy to provide you with free information related to your project type, and a price quote for our service fees, if you wish to provide us with information regarding your intended use.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday accused Gallup Organization, the country's most venerable and best-known political polling firm, of bilking the U.S. government on millions of dollars in federal contracts.
In a federal court filing, DOJ lawyers said they will pursue some of the claims first made in a lawsuit filed by a Gallup whistleblower who accused the polling organization of routinely inflating bills on polling services for the U.S. Mint, the U.S. Passport Agency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Gallup -- a Washington, D.C.,-based company that promotes itself as "the most trusted name in polling" -- did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The announcement comes at an awkward time for Gallup, in the middle of an election season when the company's polls are routinely cited in coverage of the presidential election. (In its latest tracking poll released Wednesday, Gallup has Mitt Romney ahead of President Obama by a 47 to 45 percent margin. http://www.gallup.com/poll/154559/US-Presidential-Election-Center.aspx)
The whistleblower, Michael Lindley, served as director of client services for Gallup from February 2008 until July 2009, when, according to his lawsuit, he was abruptly fired after complaining about the alleged overbillings and threatening to go to the Justice Department if they didn't stop.
"When you start talking about going to the Department of Justice, I don't trust you anymore," Lindley alleges he was told by the firm's top lawyer, according to a copy of his complaint obtained by NBC News.
In a DOJ press release, Ronald Machen, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said the decision to intervene shows "we will do all that we can to act against those who illegitimately bill the American taxpayers."
Lindley filed his lawsuit under seal in October 2009 as a so-called "qui tam" case that allows private whistleblowers to recover a portion of fraudulent billings that they bring to the U.S. government's attention. HIs complaint, made public for the first time on Wednesday alleges a wide range of improprieties within Gallup -- not all of which were accepted by the Justice Department after a nearly three-year investigation.
According to Lindley's complaint, Gallup effectively kept two sets of books on its federal business -- one that inflated its costs that were submitted to government agencies, another internally that reflected the firm's real (and much lower) costs to perform the work.
As an example, Lindley alleges that Gallup received a $2 million a year sole source contract with the U.S. Mint to conduct surveys on the likely purchasers of newly minted coins, such as presidential coins. In its budget presented to the Mint, "Galllup would inflate the number of hours required to complete the work, usually by a multiple of two or three times," the complaint alleges.
Gallup also submitted "vastly inflated" budgets for its work for the U.S. Passport agency in support of a five year, $25 million sole-source contract for surveys aimed at predicting the number of passport applications that would be needed under new border control laws requiring travelers to Mexico and Canada to carry passports.
Those claims were adopted by Justice in its decision to intervene. In another part of his complaint-- that was not adopted by Justice but remain outstanding against the company-- Lindley alleges that Gallup officials drafted large portions of a federal bid proposal by the U.S. Army for survey research in Iraq to insure that Gallup was the only polling firm that qualified. (The original bid proposal, he alleges, asked for a company that had 70 or more years of polling experience; it was later rewritten to say 10 or more years of experience and Gallup was awarded the $15 million contract.)
The lawsuit also alleges that Gallup violated "clear conflict of interest" rules by offering a job to a high level FEMA employee who played a role in steering a $12 million, five-year contract to Gallup. Justice lawyers said in their filing they plan to assert "additional claims" relating to the FEMA contract, but did not identify what they are.

LAWRENCE TWP. - You could not have blamed any of the wrestling fans if they asked for their money back following Lawrence's 51-24 romp over West Windsor South on Wednesday night.
Despite covering 13 of the weights during weigh-ins and introductions, West Windsor South forfeited just about every time Lawrence sent out one of its better wrestlers.
An obviously miffed Lawrence coach Chris Lynne retaliated by forfeiting the last two bouts, although it should be pointed out that he said he would not use his injured heavyweight Syzmon Tara before the match even got started.
'Yes, I was,'' replied Lynne when asked if he was irritated by West Windsor South's six forfeits. 'The way I look at it is: Your kids are not going to get any better unless you give them tough competition. I mean, I moved Mujahid (Ewell) up a weight.
'This was ridiculous. They should go back to that rule where it's seven points if you have a wrestler weighed in and you forfeit. Nobody else liked that rule, but I did.''
Ewell, who opened some eyes over the weekend by advancing to the finals of the Mercer County Tournament at 120 pounds, bumped up to face Ryan Moshman and responded with a 4-0 win. Coupled with South's Noah Kruetter surviving several Adam Gibson takedowns in the third period for a 9-7 win at 160 pounds, Ewell's match was one of the few highlights of the evening.
In what other little action there was, Lawrence (8-10) got pins from Georgy Jochiehm (145), Brian Keane (160) and John-Malik Thomas (220). While Wednesday's match proved to be a big dud, there is some reason to be excited about Lawrence's potential for next year. The Cards started just two seniors Wednesday and have two of the top wrestlers in the area in juniors Gordon Wolf (132) and Mike Jennings (138/145).
Wolf (25-0) is ranked sixth in the state by The Trentonian, while Jennings is 22-3. After winning his third straight MCT title over the weekend at 138, it is unclear where Jennings will go at districts.
Jennings is a big 138-pounder and looks very formidable at that weight, but 138 at District 17 includes Hunterdon Central's Gary Dinmore, a state runner-up last year.
'We have two weeks to figure that one out,'' said Lynne. 'We'll see what's around the region and see what weight will give Mike the best chance to advance to states.''
In addition to their multiple MCT titles, Wolf and Jennings are well on course to smash the school's record of most career victories. That record of 115 wins currently belongs to Mark Savino, who became the first state champion in the history of the Mercer County when he went the distance in 2004.

HOUSTON, Texas – It won't be tonight, it won't be tomorrow, but sometime in the near future the members of the Virginia Commonwealth University men's basketball team will look back and be able to appreciate what they did over the last month.
That magical run that brought together "Ram Nation" all across the country came to an end with a 70-62 loss to Butler in the national semifinal at Reliant Stadium.
"I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of this group of guys and what they have accomplished over the past month," Head Coach Shaka Smart said. "Tonight we weren't able to achieve the outcome we were looking for and you have to give the credit to Butler for knocking us off our game a little bit."
Senior Jamie Skeen was outstanding all night, finishing with game-high 27 points, six rebounds and three assists. Junior Bradford Burgess was the only other Ram in double-figures with 15 points, while he also corralled a team-high nine rebounds.
"Right now it's tough to appreciate this run, but I'm just proud to say I shared it with this group of guys," Skeen said. "They're all my brothers and I wouldn't have wanted to do this with anyone but them."
Prior to this season, no VCU squad had ever won more than one game in the NCAA Tournament. This team won five and gained thousands of fans from across the nation during that run.
"We have the greatest fans in the country and I'm glad that they were able to join us during this run," Smart said. "Not only has the world seen what the VCU Basketball program is all about over the past couple weeks, they've seen how great our fans are, which is great."
Over the past three weeks, the Black & Gold became only the third 11-seed to reach the Final Four by topping the likes of USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and Kansas. Along the way, VCU gained national media attention from ESPN, CNN, USA Today, CBS, Fox Sports and much, much more.
"This group of guys won't understand tonight, but down the road, we'll be able to look back and realize, that they changed not only VCU basketball, but the whole university," Smart said. "A whole lot of people around the world now know what a great university this is."
Saturday started with the Bulldogs jumping out to 5-0 lead, but a three-pointer from Burgess with 13:12 to play in the first half capped off a 15-2 run to give the Rams an eight-point cushion.
Butler, led by Shelvin Mack, would chip away at the lead and eventually head into the break with a 34-26 advantage thanks to 22 points from Mack and Matt Howard.
"We knew we had to make adjustments in the second half," Burgess said. "Our aggressiveness wasn't there towards the end of first half and we knew we had to get that back in order to have a chance at the win."
That's exactly what the Rams did, scoring 10 of the first 12 points in the second half to grab a 38-36 lead on a three-pointer from Skeen with 15:16 to play in regulation.
It was a back-and-forth battle for the next four minutes until Mack scored 10 points in a span of 2:21to give Butler a four-point cushion. VCU would get no closer the rest of the way, thanks in large part to the Bulldogs ability to clean the glass (48-32 advantage in rebounds).
VCU finished the season with a school-record tying 28 victories. Seniors Ed Nixon, Brandon Rozzell and Joey Rodriguez finished their four-year careers with 103 wins, which ties a record for the best four-year stretch in school history.

Here is how beat writer Jerry McDonald graded the Raiders (3-6) on their performance in a 55-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens (7-2) on Sunday:
Pass offense
Another prolific stat game for Carson Palmer (29 of 45, 368 yards, 2 TDs). He had a 55-yard touchdown pass to Darrius Heyward-Bey and one of 30 yards to Denarius Moore, and he kept the Raiders moving the ball. But there was also an interception, a lost fumble and another fourth-and-1 where he got stepped on by Mike Brisiel and took a 4-yard sack.
Grade: B
Run offense
Marcel Reece rushed a career-high 13 times for 48 yards, with Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson out with high-ankle sprains. Rookie Jeremy Stewart ran seven times for 22 yards, and the coaching staff has very little confidence in Taiwan Jones. Raiders had no gain of more than 9 yards and averaged 3 yards per carry.
Grade: D-minus
Pass defense
Joe Flacco (21 of 33, 341 yards, 3 TDs, 1 interception) did as he pleased and found the wide open spaces between the hash marks. Michael Huff had an interception at the Baltimore 19, but the offense only got a field goal out of it. Torrey Smith caught touchdown passes of 20 and 47 yards and tight ends Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson had seven catches for 126 yards.
Grade: F
Run defense
The Raiders took the Doug Martin lesson of the previous week to heart as Ray Rice gained just 35 yards in 13 carries with a long run of 7 yards. Not until Bernard Pierce had a 12-yard run in the second half did Baltimore get a running play in double figures. They gave ground way to easily on Rice's 7-yard touchdown run.
Grade: B
Special teams
A muffed punt by Phillip Adams led to a Baltimore touchdown and Jacoby Jones ripped off a 105-yard kickoff return to finish the scoring. Sebastian Janikowski converted field goal attempts from 22 and 47 yards and Shane Lechler punted well with a 54.8 yard gross and a 47.6 net.
Grade: D-minus
The Raiders secondary looked as if it had never played together before as Flacco passed at will. The Raiders were fooled by a Ravens fake field-goal attempt that resulted in a 7-yard touchdown run by holder Sam Koch. Coming into a difficult road venue, the Raiders didn't have the look of a team that was prepared to play, and coach Dennis Allen said the responsibility lies with him.
Grade: F

|Marine Hall in March
(complete with a pile of dirty snow)
Over the years many of my Salem ancestors were part of the East India Marine Society, the Essex Institute and the Peabody Essex Museum. Dr. Andrew Nichols (1785 – 1853) was the president of the Essex Institute from 1836 – 1848). His grandson, another Dr. Andrew Nichols (1862-1897) married Mary Ann Bill (1861-1910) sister to my great grandmother Isabella Lyons Bill. My Great great grandfather, Peter Hoogerzeil (1841 – 1908) sailed around the world collecting curiosities which were donated to the museum. The most famous family member, George Jacobs (1612-1692) who was hung as a witch, was an exhibit himself. His finger bones and canes were exhibited in the museum as curiosities when I was a child, but I haven't seen them on display in many years. I guess it's not politically correct anymore to display something like that.
In 1992 the Essex and Peabody Institutes merged into the Peabody Essex Museum. There are more than 840,000 works of art and culture, from maritime and American art to Asian, Oceanic and African art and export art. Today it is more of an art museum, and the mummies, stuffed animals and curiosities I remember seeing as a child are only a small portion of the exhibits.
We visited the PEM again last weekend, and I saw more things related to our family's long history in Salem. Some I remember from years ago, and others were new to me. I guess that with nearly a million items in storage, they are constantly showing new things, and changing the displays. Here are a sampling…
|Chest built by Symonds of Salem for
Benjamin Putnam (1664-1715)
brother to my ancestor Elizabeth Putnam,
who married George Flint in 1679
|This is a logbook by Thorndike Proctor
(a descendant of my ancestor John Proctor (1631-1692) hung as a witch)
from the brig Ocean on a voyage to Hispanola in 1783-84
M856 1783o / Log 1783o
|The salon of the yacht Cleopatra's Barge
built by Retire Becket (1754 - 1831) my 2nd cousin many generations removed
see the story from January 2011 for the Becket family of Salem.
The yacht was sold to King Kamehameha II, and it sunk off the coast of Hawaii
|Chest by Symonds of Salem built for my 7 x great grandparents
Joseph Pope and Bathsheba Folger married in 1679
(see the inscription with their initial and date)
see this link for more on the Pope Valuable Chest-
it's a long, interesting story!
If you have ancestors who lived in Salem or nearby, the PEM's Phillips Library should be on your list of places for research. The website contains schedules, which is important because it is only open two days a week. You can also check out the card catalog online. Their collections are superb for early colonial, maritime and trade history (especially Aisian export trade), containing manuscripts, newspapers and other rare documents. The museum also has photographs and nautical navigation charts.

Ariel Dukes led
Harvard to a 7-5 win over Brown Wednesday night (photo Harvard
Athletic Communications).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Ariel Dukes made 13 saves to propel Harvard's defense and the offense provided just enough support, as the Crimson women's water polo team beat Brown, 7-5, at Blodgett Pool Wednesday night.
Harvard (10-9) moved back over .500 with the victory and pushed its CWPA Southern Division mark to 2-1.
Dukes made four saves and shutout Brown in the first quarter to help Harvard jump to a 2-0 lead. Dukes covered the entire goal in the frame, making saves on each post, to anchor the Crimson defense. Monica Zdrojewski and Shayna Price each scored in the first to give Harvard its lead. Zdrojewski scored on a fire to the top right corner and S. Price converted over the top of Brown's goalie.
Brown evened the score with goals on consecutive possessions three minutes into the second period. Harvard quickly answered with a pair of scores on two straight possessions with two minutes left on the clock. Aisha Price scored the first after a Harvard timeout and Zdrojewski gave the Crimson a 4-2 advantage entering halftime with her second goal of the game.
The slow offensive pace of the game continued, as defensive play dominated in the third. The teams traded saves and deflections before Brown scored the only goal of the quarter with 3:11 remaining. The Bears had an opportunity to tie the score with two minutes left in the stanza, but Dukes grabbed a floating shot with her left hand to kill Brown's breakaway chance.
Harvard took a 4-3 lead into the fourth and began to pull away. The Crimson's last quarter charge began with a highlight reel goal on a tip pass from Devan Kennifer to Elise Molnar. With the ball fumbling in front of the net on the left side and Brown's goalie charging, Kennifer flicked the ball to the middle where Molnar easily shot into a wide open goal.
The Crimson continued to build its lead when Kennifer fired a shot from the point in the cage with 4:29 on the clock and S. Price snuck a shot into the top left corner with 3:38 showing. The 7-3 lead would be the largest of the game for Harvard, as Brown scored the next two tallies, but it was too late for the Bears to mount a serious comeback.
Brown's only possession after its fifth goal started with three seconds on the clock and ended in yet another Dukes save.
Other than Dukes in goal, S. Price was the star of the game, as the sophomore accumulated two goals, three assists and five steals in the contest. Molnar and A. Price each added three steals.
Harvard will travel to Washington, D.C., March 31 for two more CWPA Southern Division matches. The Crimson will take on Merchyhurst and host George Washington in D.C., before returning home April 10 for the regular season finale against Hartwick.

Texas State, Green Building Council celebrate LEED Gold certification

Texas State University President Denise Trauth celebrated the North Campus Housing Complex's receipt of Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) during a ceremony Jan. 29.
Pam Bixby Losefsky, executive director of the U.S. Green Building Council, presented the plaque of recognition during the event at Texas State. The Gold certification recognizes the university's dedication to sustainability, energy efficiency, water conservation and air quality. Not only is it the first Gold LEED certification for Texas State, it is also the first for the entire Texas State University System.
"When we dedicated this building in August 2012, we were thrilled to add this beautiful student housing complex because it allowed us to expand on our mission of keeping freshman connected to the campus," Trauth said. "Today, we are just as thrilled to announce that this residential complex has been LEED certified at the Gold level by the U.S. Green Building Council, making it the first building in the entire Texas State University System to be so designated."
According to the USGBC, LEED is a "voluntary, consensus-based, market-driven program that provides third-party verification of green buildings." An organization's participation "demonstrates leadership, innovation, environmental stewardship and social responsibility." LEED offers a framework for establishing efficient and sustainable solutions in the design and maintenance of new construction.
In collaboration with the Office of Facilities Planning at Texas State, the Department of Housing and Residential Life's goals for the north side complex were to construct a student residential complex with minimal impact on the environment and to provide a safe, clean home for 612 students. Of the materials used, more than 30 percent contain recycled content and more than 35 percent are from regional sources. In addition, 77 percent of construction waste was recycled.
"This complex incorporates advanced cooling and heating systems, and better building materials and windows to make the twin residence halls more energy efficient," Trauth said. "And the design and orientation of the building is such that it maximizes the use of natural light to minimize the need for artificial lighting."
In an effort to keep residents healthy, the department used low emitting materials during construction reducing the volatile off-gassing chemicals (VOCs) found in many new buildings. Walk-off mats were installed at exterior doors to control the dust and dander being carried into the buildings. In addition, light occupancy sensors are used in lounges and study rooms to decrease unnecessary electricity usage.
Current residents enjoy their new home while sharing in water and energy conservation efforts. A 40,000 gallon tank is situated in the courtyard and collects condensation from the air-conditioning system, as well as from rain run-off. The collected water is used to irrigate the almost three acres of property that surrounds the complex, which has been landscaped with native Texas plant materials.
In addition, community-style bathrooms are designed to curb water consumption. Showerheads use only 1.8 gallons of water per minute and faucets use 0.5 gallons of water per minute. Toilets use only 1.6 gallons of water per flush.
The two residence halls--Gaillardia and Chautauqua--are the first in a series of residential communities to be constructed at Texas State. The West Campus Housing Complex is now under construction. Those two new residential communities are scheduled to open for the 2014-15 academic year. The department plans to continue utilizing green-building practices in all new projects and hopes these halls will inspire residents to be better stewards of the environment.

Day's Worst: Outlook for increased snowpack in Colorado is pretty dismal
It's been dry in Colorado. No doubt about it. But there is time yet to make up for diminished snowpack, right?
Maybe not.
Word from those participating in the National Drought Early Warning Outlook said Colorado's outlook is pretty dismal.
According to a story in The Daily Camera:
"The conditions for Colorado are very poor," said Mike Strobel, director of the National Water and Climate Center under the Natural Resources Conservation Service, based in Portland, Ore.
Strobel said in an interview following his presentation that Colorado was at 72 percent of its normal snow pack as of Feb. 1, and at 69 percent of its average reservoir storage on that same date.
Several basins in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico are at less than 50 percent of their normal snowpack.
That's going to leave the region with many and varied problems this spring and summer, including increased fire danger, water restrictions and drought conditions for farmers.
It's something we all need to think about as we start watering lawns and washing cars. Voluntary conservation at the outset will hurt a lot less than mandatory restrictions down the road.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who just a few days ago seemed poised to capitalize on his New Hampshire primary victory to win South Carolina, failed to appeal to conservative, lower-income, and evangelical Christian voters in the state, which led to Saturday's victory for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
And exit poll interviews indicated that South Carolina Republicans emphatically disagreed with the judgment of their GOP counterparts in New Hampshire that Romney was the Republican best able to beat President Barack Obama in November.
Forty-five percent of voters interviewed said that defeating Obama in November was the issue that mattered most to them and 51 percent of them chose Gingrich. Romney won 37 percent of those voters.New state, new strategy as Romney comes out swinging
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
Born-again or evangelical Christians accounted for nearly two-thirds of the electorate and Gingrich easily beat Romney in that group: 44 percent to 21 percent.
Three out of five voters interviewed in the exit poll said that it mattered somewhat or greatly whether a candidate shared their religious views and Gingrich beat Romney by better than two to one among such voters.
Gingrich is a former Baptist who converted to Roman Catholicism; Romney is a Mormon, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Self-described Catholics made up 13 percent of the electorate and Gingrich won 37 percent of them; former Pennsylvania senator Santorum, also a Catholic, won 17 percent of Catholic voters, while Romney won 30 percent.
Among those who said having shared religious beliefs with a presidential contender did not much matter or didn't matter at all, Romney prevailed, 39 percent to Gingrich's 32 percent.Gingrich wins South Carolina GOP primary
Self-described conservatives accounted for nearly 70 percent of the electorate and Gingrich won 44 percent of those voters, compared to Romney's 24 percent.
There were some indications in the exit poll data that this week's debate in which Gingrich furiously denounced the news media for reporting allegations made by his ex-wife their marriage may have helped him. Nearly 90 percent of exit poll respondents said the recent debates were a factor in deciding whom to support and Gingrich trounced Romney in that group: winning 42 percent to Romney's 25 percent.
More than half the voters told exit poll interviewers that they'd decided in the last few days for whom they would vote and Gingrich overwhelmingly won such late deciders, getting 44 percent of them to Romney's 22 percent.
There was almost no gender gap in Saturday's electorate, according to the exit poll. Women voters favored Gingrich, 38 percent to Romney's 29 percent. Among male voters, Gingrich won 42 percent and Romney 26 percent.
Gingrich beat Romney by 16 percentage points – 40 percent to 24 percent -- among voters who said they had a family income of less than $50,000 a year.
Less educated voters also favored Gingrich – a former college history professor -- by a wide margin: those with no college degree accounted for 53 percent of Saturday's electorate and Gingrich won 42 percent of those voters, with Romney getting only 24 percent of them. Santorum won 19 percent of such voters, while Rep. Ron Paul of Texas won 14 percent of them.
But among voters with a postgraduate education, Romney beat Gingrich, 37 percent to 34 percent.Full results of South Carolina's Republican primary
In the past two weeks, Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who quit the race on Thursday, had assailed Romney's role as head of Bain Capital in the 1980s. Bain Capital bought and restructured companies, leading in some cases to layoffs of workers.
But nearly two out of three voters said they had a positive view of Romney's investment and managerial career.
Among the 28 percent of voters who said they had a negative view of Romney's business career, not surprisingly 50 percent of them backed Gingrich, compared to 23 percent for Paul and 22 percent for Santorum.
While nearly all exit poll interviewees said they were "very or somewhat worried" about the direction of the nation's economy in the next few years, only about one out of five said their own family was falling behind financially. Of that "falling behind" group, Gingrich ran first, winning 44 percent of them to Romney's 25 percent.
Gingrich also won among voters age 65 and over, winning 47 percent of them to Romney's 36 percent.
The South Carolina outcome was a remarkable turnaround for Gingrich who barely finished fourth in the New Hampshire primary last week.
Gingrich's lackluster New Hampshire performance did not seem to bode well for the South Carolina contest: he could not break above 20 percent for any of the age, income, ideological or demographic groups that were identified in the New Hampshire exit poll sample from that contest.

NEW YORK, May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Islet Sciences, Inc., (OTCBB: ISLT) a biotechnology company engaged in the research, development and commercialization of patented technologies in the field of transplantation therapy for patients with diabetes, today announced that it has exclusively licensed technology from Yale University.
"In the course of research conducted under Yale auspices, Dr. Kevan Herold and his colleagues at Yale University School of Medicine have developed a technology entitled 'Circulating hypomethylated B cell-derived DNA' as a biomarker of B cell destruction," said John Steel, Chairman and CEO of Islet Sciences. "We are excited to utilize this groundbreaking invention as we look to commercialize it to benefit the growing worldwide diabetic community. This test has the potential to identify beta cell death and emerging diabetes far earlier than clinical presentation."
"The opportunity to identify diabetes and islet dysfunction prior to clinical presentation could be beneficial therapeutically," said Dr. Kevan Herold. "I am looking forward to working with Islet Sciences to commercialize this technology that clearly holds so much potential."
Clusters of beta cells form islets within the pancreas. Diminished beta/islet cell function which can be caused by numerous factors, is one of the primary causes of insulin dependent diabetes. Insulin dependent diabetes is the more difficult aspect of the disease.
Jonathan Soderstrom, director of the Office of Cooperative Research at Yale commented, "We are pleased that Islet Sciences has made the decision to invest in this discovery and look forward to developing it into a valuable new tool for treating this debilitating disease."
About Islet Sciences, Inc.
Islet Sciences is a development-stage biotechnology company with patented technologies focused on transplantation therapy for people with insulin-dependent diabetes. The Company's transplantation technology includes methods for the culturing, isolation, maturation, and immunoprotection (microencapsulation) of islet cells. The Company's mission includes the introduction of commercial products with applications to cell-based replacement therapy in the healthcare marketplace. www.isletsciences.com

There's a new arrival in the McConaughey home, the star announced on his Web site.
Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves have welcomed their second child, daughter Vida Alves McConaughey.
"Happy New Year everybody!!! On Sunday, Jan. 3rd at 12:13am, Camila gave birth to a healthy 7lb. 7oz. baby girl," the proud parents wrote on the actor's site. "'Vida' is Portuguese for 'life' and that's what God gave us this morning."
The couple added that Camila is "recovering wonderfully."
The two are also parents to son Levi, 17 months.
The sex of baby Vida was news to her family — in September, Matthew wrote on his MySpace blog that they had yet to find out for themselves what the baby would be.
"Not sure if it's a boy or girl but we have our instincts," he said at the time, asking his fans, "What are you thinking?"

Mitt Romney is losing ground in the polls. His popularity with voters has sagged under a barrage of negative advertising, and he's struggling to shed the moneybags caricature that has hampered him since the start of his campaign. The impact of a foreign jaunt designed to showcase his statesmanship was "negligible," a senior adviser conceded. And that may be generous.
But inside the presumptive Republican nominee's headquarters, a warren of rooms in a drab former furniture store in Boston's North End, Romney's brain trust insists his recent bumpy stretch is a mere blip in a long campaign. The general election contest starts now. And to hear Romney's aides tell it, they feel good about where the race stands.
Romney ushers in a new phase of the campaign on Saturday with a bus tour that will swing through Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio. The four-day swing through major media markets in a coveted quartet of battleground states is designed to highlight Romney's approach to "strengthening the middle class." The former Massachusetts governor will pay tribute to small business owners, talk tough about Obamacare and Chinese trade policy, and assail the President for his supposed hostility to job creators.
It's also an opportunity to reintroduce Romney after a month that saw Democrats wage a successful battle to define him as a manicured elitist. Parading Romney through barbecue shacks and a NASCAR technical school is a bid to rebut that perception, which they say is inaccurate. "I wish you could see the Governor interact with people the way I see him," Romney senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom told reporters during a Friday morning briefing punctuated by PowerPoint slides and polling data.
Romney aides say they are unruffled by a trio of new national polls from CNN, Fox News and Reuters/Ipsos that show the incumbent with a lead of up to 9 points, an ostensible breakthrough in a remarkably static race. They downplayed these surveys as aberrations that come at a juncture in the race when voters are decamping on vacations and more likely to spend time tracking Olympic results than the latest volleys in a political campaign. There was no "precipitating event" to explain a dramatic shift toward Obama, argued one senior Romney adviser. "If there was a sea change, you'd know it."
(PHOTOS: The Rich History of Mitt Romney)
But it's possible the blizzard of negative advertising aimed at Romney – the Cleveland metro area alone was bombarded with nearly 20,000 TV ads between April 10 and the beginning of August, an average of some 170 per day – has exacted a toll on the Republican. Certainly it is has irritated Camp Romney.
Speaking to reporters Friday, Fehrnstrom skewered the Obama campaign for escalating its attacks from "petty distortions and untruths to unbelievable exaggerations that diminish the office of the President and insult the American people." The sustained barrage, he said, has "squandered" one of Obama's core strengths: the postpartisan image he ran on in 2008. "I don't think a world champion limbo dancer could get any lower than the Obama campaign right now," Fehrnstrom said. "When you start running ads accusing your opponent of killing people, then you have lost credibility," he said, invoking a widely criticized ad run by a pro-Obama super PAC that appeared to link the death of a steelworker's wife to Romney.
Fehrnstrom said the slashing ads from Obama and his allies would deter voters. "We are betting that a substantive campaign conducted on the high ground and focused primarily on jobs and the economy will trump a campaign that is designed to appeal to our worst instincts," he said.
Romney's side has lobbed plenty of grenades as well. And even as they put an optimistic spin on the race, Romney's aides sought to accentuate the challenges they face by noting that Obama captured all four of the battleground states Romney will be visiting on his tour. "We're playing on their territory," said the senior adviser. That isn't entirely right: Obama's landslide victory in 2008 splashed a wave of blue across states that had previously been red, and in many cases remain key toss-ups. Republicans must capture some of this territory to have a shot at reaching 270 electoral votes.
Romney's task, as always, is to frame the race as a simple referendum on Obama's handling of the economy. The bus tour, which will launch amid fevered speculation over Romney's selection of a running mate, is a way to press that case to a narrow cadre of undecided voters, and renew the argument that Obama has failed to live up to his promise of a new brand of politics.

The 70-year-old woman who was arrested -- then cleared -- in her husband's death said on Friday that she can't wait to resume her previous life as an umpire with the United States Tennis Association.
Lois Goodman reacted to the news that the USTA, of which she has officiated some of the greatest players in her more than 35 years in the job, was reinstating her in 2013.
"It's a great holiday gift," said Goodman as she stood alongside her attorney, Robert Sheahen, in Sherman Oaks on Friday. "I'm thankful.
"I get my old life back. I appreciate my life so much more now seeing what I went through."
Goodman drew national headlines when she was arrested in the death of her husband, Alan, in August during the U.S. Open in New York where she was set to begin officiating. Authorities accused her of using a coffee mug to bludgeon her husband to death in their San Fernando Valley home. Upon her arrest, she was suspended from her job.
Alan Goodman's bloodied body was found in the couple's Woodland Hills home on April 17. Officers initially ruled the death suspicious because they couldn't determine if foul play was involved, according to an LAPD press release.
But after launching a full homicide investigation and working closely with the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, detectives said on Aug. 2 that the case was a homicide and named Lois Goodman the prime suspect, the LAPD said.
On Nov. 30, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office dropped charges, saying they had received additional information and were unable to proceed because of insufficient evidence.
The announcement came after Goodman's attorneys said that her DNA was not found on the coffee mug and that she had passed a lie detector test.
Shortly after the charges were dropped, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck announced that detectives would continue to investigate the case.
On Friday, Goodman said she didn't know she had the strength to withstand being arrested, and temporarily housed at Riker's Island, before being charged with killing her husband who she was married to for over 50 years.
"I knew one day that I'd be cleared," she said.
When asked by a reporter what she'd tell her husband if he were alive, she said, "He knew I loved him very much.
"He'd be very proud to know that everything turned out all right."

Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project
Project Description
[Source: S. Joussaume and K. E. Taylor, proceedings of the third PMIP workshop, Canada, 4-8 october 1999, in WCRP-111, WMO/TD-1007, edited by P. Braconnot, 9-24, 2000. ]
Atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) are continually improving in their ability to simulate the major features of today´s climate. Many of these models are being used to predict future climate change and although there is broad agreement among the models, there are also many differences in the details of their predictions. In order to determine whether models can simulate climatic conditions much different from today, the models can be used to simulate paleoclimates, and paleodata can be used to evaluate the results. Moreover, AGCMs have proved their usefulness to investigate mechanisms of past climate changes (e.g., Joussaume, 1999)). The Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) was initiated in order to coordinate and encourage the systematic study of AGCMs and to assess their ability to simulate large changes of climate such as those that occurred in the distant past. It also is serving to encourage the preparation of global reconstructions of paleoclimates that can be used to evaluate climate models.
The PMIP effort developed out of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop, convened in 1991, which led to a cooperative and coordinated effort to compare model simulations with paleoclimate data. The workshop participants agreed to focus initially on two specific periods in the past : the last glacial maximum, 21 000 years before present (BP), and the mid-Holocene climate, 6 000 years BP, which correspond to extreme conditions that are relatively well documented. Simulating the last glacial maximum provides an opportunity for assessing the models´ ability to simulate extreme cold conditions as well as for studying the feedbacks associated with both a decrease of the atmospheric CO2 concentration and ice sheet elevation of 2 to 3 km above North America and northern Europe. The simulation of the mid-Holocene conditions is on the other hand a sensitivity experiment in which the seasonal contrast of incoming solar radiation at the top of the atmosphere is changed; 6000 years BP, the seasonal contrast was larger in the northern summer, leading to an increase of summer monsoons over Africa and South Asia.

Seattle Seahawks players surprised by decision to throw on last play
The Seahawks' decision to throw on their final offensive possession — the one that resulted in a Malcolm Butler interception and a Patriots Super Bowl victory — will be questioned for months, if not longer. But those watching weren't the only ones surprised by the call.
Here's what some Seahawks players had to say after the game when asked about that play:
Richard Sherman, CB
"I'm a little bit surprised. It was an unfortunate play. Their guy made a heck of a play and that's all you can ask for.
"What I would have done is irrelevant at this time. We went with that play. We trusted our quarterback, and unfortunately they made a play."
Doug Baldwin, WR
"You saw it. Unfortunate series of events.
"All of us are surprised. In that moment with 20 seconds left on the clock and we still had a timeout. We felt like, from what I understand, we should take a shot, and still have another down. If we ran the ball and didn't get in then we had to stop the clock and it would limit our abilities to run or pass. I don't know I am just trying to come up with an explanation for it. I really don't know."
Bruce Irvin, LB
"We had it. I don't understand how you don't give it to the best back in the league on not even the one-yard line. We were on the half-yard line, and we throw a slant. I don't know what the offense had going on, what they saw. I just don't understand."

GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) After being introduced to the NCAA convention as Dr. Shaquille O'Neal, the four-time NBA champion jokingly asked that his scholarly resume be repeated before he opened with a public confession to the group's president.
``From 1989-92 I committed numerous NCAA infractions,'' O'Neal said, referencing his time as an LSU player. ``I used to get a free bowl of jambalaya right before every game.''
NCAA President Mark Emmert laughed, saying that the statute of limitations had run out on that.
That was the start of a more than 30-minute question-and-answer session Emmert conducted with O'Neal during the keynote luncheon Wednesday on the opening day of the NCAA convention.
O'Neal said earning his doctoral degree in education, which he received last May from Barry College in Florida, was harder than anything he ever did athletically. He also talked about the importance of education, saying in the age of one-and-done basketball players that they should have to stay in school at least three years before going pro, such as the rule for NCAA football players.
``A lot of guys do it because of their financial situation and they need to do it. That's the only way to provide a better means for their family. So when you look at it from that aspect, I understand it,'' said O'Neal, who then told Emmert that if up to him the rule would ``probably say three-and-done.''
For players who do leave early, O'Neal's advice is to make sure they go back and finish their education. He said it's not a matter of how much money they will make, but how much they're going to keep.
O'Neal, who called his three years as an LSU player the best time of his life, recalled spending ``$1 million in about 30 minutes'' after he got his first check as the NBA's first overall pick in 1992. He quickly realized he wasn't as smart as he thought about money despite a few business and accounting classes.
Emmert is the former LSU chancellor who in 2000 presented O'Neal with his diploma for general studies after the NBA player had gone back to complete his undergraduate work. O'Neal added an online MBA from the University of Phoenix in 2005, and soon after that began work on his doctoral degree.
O'Neal said he always promised his family he would get his degree from LSU. He then challenged himself more and kept educating himself to help with his business pursuits, which today include owning 42 health and fitness clubs and 155 hamburger restaurants.
``I'm sure the aura of doing business with Shaquille O'Neal was there,'' he said. ``I needed them to know that they were doing business with a businessman, not doing business with an athlete.''
He also thought it was good for his six children to ``see me educate and challenge myself.''
Having O'Neal as the keynote speaker was somewhat of a departure for the NCAA, coning a year after U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan was the speaker. The former basketball player was entertaining, insightful and humorous during his appearance.
Emmert will deliver his state of the NCAA remarks Thursday.
The NCAA Board of Directors meets Saturday, the convention's final day. The board is expected to approve a sweeping set of changes that will include eliminating rules about how coaches communicate with recruits, how often they communicate with recruits, and allow college and high school players to accept money for travel expenses and prize money at non-scholastic events.
Along with questions posed to O'Neal by Emmert, there were some submitted by student-athletes in attendance.
When asked about star athletes being role models, O'Neal said he preferred the term ``real'' model.
``A lot of people, they play roles. When you play a role, and it catches up with them, we all figure out they're not who we thought they were. So with me, what you see is what you get,'' O'Neal said. ``As we're seeing now, there's a lot of people out there selling a lot of fake products. You're hearing people confess. ... To me, image is reality.''
There were no direct references to anybody in particular, but O'Neal's comments came the same week disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong told Oprah Winfrey in an interview to air later this week that he used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France. His confession comes after a decade of denial.
O'Neal went on to say that athletes have the responsibility to be good role models.
``I don't think you get a choice,'' O'Neal said. ``I think we do have a social responsibility to do the right things, say the right things and behave correctly.''
Asked about who he looked up to, O'Neal talked about Magic Johnson for ``what he did on and off the court'' and remembered being told by Johnson as an 18-year-old kid that sports wouldn't last forever and it was important to get the education to move into life after basketball. He mentioned Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Donald Trump as smart businessmen he watched.
Since earning his doctorate last year, O'Neal has mentioned going to law school and owning his own firm.
``That's my smart guy talking,'' he said, smiling. ``I thought about it, but probably not.''

McAdam: Five prospects on the horizon
Five prospects on the horizon
On paper, the Red Sox' plan to begin to integrate the organization's best prospects is scheduled to begin in 2014. Most of the better prospects have yet to reach Triple A, much less the big leagues, and while few of the elite young players will need a full season at Pawtucket before arriving at Fenway, they'll need at least some additional seasoning at Pawtucket before matriculating. Here's a look at five players who will be introduced in spring training, and are on the horizon.
Read More
Ruby de la Rossa
De La Rosa, one of two promising pitchers obtained in the team's landmark salary dump with the Los Angeles Dodgers last August, probably won't make the Opening Day roster as he continues to recover from Tommy John surgery. But de La Rosa already has some brief major league experience with L.A. and doesn't need much more development time.
Read More
Alex Wilson
Wilson was once projected as a potential front-line starter, but he stalled in that quest and 2012 saw him pitching out of the bullpen for the entire season. The Boston bullpen is even deeper than the rotation and for now, there's no roster spot for Wilson. But if he pitches as well he did in the second half, when he seemed to turn a corner, he'll be one of the first options if the Sox need relief help, either because of injury or performance.
Read More
Allen Webster
Webster came over with De La Rosa in the mammoth trade with the Dodgers, and though he's yet to pitch above Double A, he might not need much finishing work at Pawtucket before he can contribute in the big leagues. Webster features a heavy sinking fastball that induces plenty of ground balls, but needs work on some of his secondary pitches and could improve his command.
Read More
Bryce Brentz
Brentz may not have the ceiling that fellow outfield prospect Jackie Bradley Jr. has, but he's already played at Triple A and is closer to helping out if the Sox need reinforcements in the outfield. He profiles as a corner outfielder, has a strong arm and a powerful stroke.
Read More
Xander Bogaerts
Bogaerts is just 20 and the last thing the Red Sox want to do is rush their best prospect of the last decade. But he's shown great maturity, make a quick adjustment when he arrived at Double A Portland last year and has done nothing to dampen the enthusiasm that the organization has for him.

Artist Interview
Dennis Crommett
December 11, 2013
What's better than a dog-loving man who can play the guitar and build you a fire? How about if that man was also singing you Christmas carols as he watched you sip a cocktail and shop for cashmere sweaters and sparkly dresses. Dennis Crommett is basically everything an Ode girl could ask for. When we first approached him to perform for our Holiday "Fa La La" party, we were worried he might be too hip for holiday music. Not only did he accept the "challenge," but he embraced it with a kind of chutzpah that confirmed that Dennis Crommett is definitively an awesome guy...an awesome guy who can sing a mean "Santa Baby."
How did you get started?
I've been singing my entire life, and playing guitar for the majority of it. Singing is the most natural and enjoyable thing I do (despite the results at times!)
What do you love about your job?
Making an emotional connection with people through music, whether it's around a campfire, on stage, or through a recording. Campfire preferred.
Where do you find inspiration?
Nature, love, you know, all of it. When I feel it, it's like I'm being washed in lightning. "Inspiration is always a surprising visitor," my man John O'Donohue wrote.
What are your plans for the future?
Love, music, outdoors, eating everything, sleeping when necessary.
If I wasn't doing this, I would be...
I have a fulfilling job and love making music, but outside that, I could see being really happy manning a fire tower in Maine with my girlfriend and a German Shepherd. Let's call him "Duke."
What's your favorite line from a movie, song, or book?
"I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding." - John O'Donohue
If you were a piece of clothing, what would be and what color/pattern?
Sturdy cotton button-down shirt, 2 pockets, long sleeves, army green. I am a park ranger at heart.
What is your dream project?
Recording an album of great songs like "Shenandoah" with people I love (but OK, produced by T. Bone Burnett), and then performing them. Maybe around campfires? Or Red Rocks.
What's the first line in a book about your life?
"It takes work."
What is your favorite word, and why?
"Yes." Because I don't say it enough.
What's your go-to "happy" song?
"The Obvious Child" by Paul Simon
What's the best advice you've ever gotten?
"Don't believe your own propaganda." My friend Stephen's grandfather said it. Just means, don't get wrapped up in what you think the world is/who you are. Stay open and stay fluid.
When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried?
Watching Star Trek: The Next Generation with my girlfriend. Someone said something about a planet of people with no limbs. We died laughing.
What is your favorite holiday tradition?
The last few years, I've gone to the beach in Maine on Christmas morning. That and eating all the pie.
What is your favorite holiday song?
There's this weird song "Jolly Old St. Nicholas" that was recorded by the Ray Conniff Singers that just sounds amazing; like a record I'd like to make.
Have you been naughty or nice?
Oh, nice. I want presents, you know?
Join us Friday, December 13th from 6-8pm for a live performance of holiday songs from Dennis and special guests throughout the evening.

When we opened the box containing this Muubaa Cabela Jacket, we literally all gasped. And cooed. And oohed and aahed. They were the sounds of love. This one-of-a-kind embroidered leather jacket is haute-gypsy meets biker-with-an-angle, and they ride off into the desert to embark upon epic adventures with wild abandon. Don't we all want that?

An Empirical Study of the Impact of Question Structure on Recipient Attitude during Knowledge Sharing pp1-10
© Jul 2005 Volume 3 Issue 1, Editor: Charles Despres, pp1 - 64
Look inside Download PDF (free)
This paper contributes to the body of literature on knowledge sharing through insight into the relationship between the format of questions asked of individuals who are sources of knowledge and the attitudes of those that have been given the opportunity to cognitively integrate this knowledge into their own knowledge base. Aspects of the theoretical model proposed by Bircham (2003) are empirically evaluated, with results supporting the model.
