In 1944, World War II continued and the Red Sox roster remained depleted due to players serving overseas. In the fall, the Boston Yanks went 1-3 at Fenway Park in their first year as members of the NFL and on November 4, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt came to Fenway Park and gave the final campaign speech of his career, just three days before being reelected for his fourth term in the White House.
Record: 77-77, 4th in American League
Manager: Joseph E. Cronin
Attendance: 506,975
With team rosters still askew due to the war, the Red Sox went 77-77 and finished in fourth place, a slot in the standings they held every day throughout September. However, as late as August 29, Boston had been in second place and were making a legitimate run at the pennant.
Bobby Doerr and 38-year-old Bob Johnson were the team's best hitters, with Doerr hitting .325 and Johnson just one point lower. However, Doerr was inducted into the Army on September 3, 1944, after he had previously been exempt with a punctured eardrum. In his absence, the Red Sox fell apart. Baseball writers recognized Doerr's importance to the team by choosing him as the club's MVP, even though he missed almost all of September.
On the mound, Tex Hughson went 18-5 with a 2.26 ERA, while 41-year old Mike Ryba notched a 12-7 record, and 34-year-old Joe Bowman won more games than he'd ever won before, going 12-8.
In a dramatic fashion, 27-year-old rookie Rex Cecil entered a major league ballpark for the first time in his life on August 13. He'd flown cross-country from San Diego (this took quite some time in 1944) and came to Fenway Park just in time to get fitted for a uniform before entering the game with the bases loaded, which was tied 6-6 in the top of the 10th inning. Cecil kept the Browns from scoring for four innings and in the bottom of the 13th, Doerr homered to win the game.
On May 8, 1944, the Cleveland Indians played an intrasquad game at Fenway Park. The Indians were scheduled to face the Red Sox on May 10 but they arrived in town a couple days early, while the Red Sox were playing an exhibition game at the Quonset Point, Rhode Island Naval Air Station. While waiting, the Indians played a pick-up game at Fenway Park.

In 1944, the Boston Yanks were founded and joined the NFL, using Fenway Park as their home. The Yanks dropped their first three games at Fenway Park in 1944 but wrapped up their first home season with a win over Brooklyn on November 19. A far larger crowd than any seen at a Yanks' game in 1944 packed Fenway Park on October 14 and saw Notre Dame pummel Dartmouth, while Boston College's football team also played at the park that month.
The most historic event at Fenway Park in 1944 took place on November 4, when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his final major public address before the November 7, 1944 presidential election. Three days later, Roosevelt won re-election but he died the following April, shortly after beginning his fourth term in the White House. His speech at Fenway Park in 1944 was the last campaign speech of his political career.

Before a crowd of more than 40,000 (and with several thousand more outside the ballpark), President Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave his final speech of the 1944 campaign - and what turned out to be the final campaign speech of his political career. After entertainers Frank Sinatra and Orson Welles had warmed up the crowd, Roosevelt began his oration by recalling a previous visit to Boston. From there he proceeded to take aim at "bigots" and proponents of "religious intolerance, social intolerance, and political intolerance." Emphasizing the idea of the United States as a melting pot, the incumbent President connected those overarching values to the concrete reality of a diverse American military force still fighting for freedom on the battlefields of Europe and Asia. Roosevelt never mentioned Republican opponent Thomas Dewey by name, but more generally alluded to his political opponents several times during the speech. Three days later, Roosevelt won a fourth presidential term with a resounding victory in the national election, where he picked up 432 of a possible 531 electoral votes.

Is Kat Edmonson the next Cole Porter?
My Wife's birthday resulted in the discovery of an amazing new musican. My wife wanted to get out of town for her birthday so we planned a weekend trip to Fort Worth. It just so happened that a new live music venue was opening up that weekend and my wife found an article in the weekend guide of The Dallas Morning News promoting a concert there the same weekend. The performer was a singer/songwriter from Austin named Kat Edmonson. We had never heard of her, but the article described her as follows: "that beautifully gray area that separates Americana from Jazz, country from folk". Well that was enough for me. We bought tickets. She was performing at a new venue in Fort Worth called The Live Oak Music Hall & Lounge. This is a great new place on the south side of Fort Worth. It has an outstanding restaurant, a rooftop bar with an incredible view of Forth Worth, and a Music Hall that seats a little over 200 people. The entire menu in the Lounge is also available in the Music Hall. Pretty cool!
Our experience at the Lounge was first class. The food and wine selection was excellent. After dinner we went into the music hall and enjoyed the concert. The opening act was Luke Wade. He is a local artist from Fort Worth. He was late because he had just played a private fundraiser for President Obama that was hosted by Bill Clinton. The guy came in through the main entrance for the public, ran up on stage, and asked for two minutes to get ready. He performed on guitar with a fiddle player. He put on a very enjoyable show. He sounded too much like John Mayer to me. That should tell you that he could sing and play at a very high level.
After a brief intermission Kat Edmonson sang and was accompanied by a acoustic guitar player. Her guitar player was a French Canadian and he was a spactacular musicain. She performed every song from her latest album and covered a song by Ella Fitzgerald (Champagne) and also Brian Wilson (I Just Wasn't Made For These Times.) Her cover of the Brian Wilson song was easily one of the highlights of a very magical night. She infused the song with a pathos that exceeded the brilliant original song by The Beach Boys.
Kat Edmonson was raised in Houston by her Mother and Grandmother. She grew up listening to their LP records. (This is this story's link to my blog..) She especially loved her Grandmothers LP's. She grew up listening and loving The Great American Song Book. Her songs are full of amazing lyrics. She is also a very effective and interesting live performer. She understands subtlety and technique like very few performers I have seen recently. I picked up her latest CD "Way Down Low" and I cannot stop listening to it. The CD features a duet with Lyle Lovett. The lyrics are a great example of her work:
The Long Way Home
I'll take the long way home tonight Please don't wake up I'll be alright Going about my usual day, I had no idea Cupid and friends had other plans for me, now i see And so, before I call it a day I'm making stops along the way Well I'll be laughing with the moon in sea of delight and thinking every little bitty star in sight When I, take the long way home tonight I'll take the long way home tonight Please don't wake up I'll be alright, going about my usual day, I had no idea Cupid and friends had other plans for me, now i see And so, first, before this day is through I've got some things I've gotta do Well I'll be laughing with the moon in sea of delight and thanking every little bitty star in sight When I, take the long way home tonight Well I'll be winking to the (? wise one?) who always knew And babbling with the brook about my love for you
When I, take the long way home tonight, tonight When I, take the long way home tonight.
If you can't hear the Soul of Cole Porter in those lyrics then you must not have ever heard a song by him…
Check out Kat Edmonson. She just recorded an episode of Austin City Limits with Willie Nelson. Here is the link to her site: Kat Edmonson. Her music and lyrics are fantastic. The ghost of Cole Porter lives!

For certain closed-circuit races or off-road events, the organiser may allow you to compete as a TLI Cycling Day Member for only £10.00 (plus the cost of the race entry fee
and any administration charge that the organiser may add), although for those aged under 18 years of age Day membership is free. This qualifies you a for ride in any one of the events that are organized in the UK throughout the year which are open to Day Members, although due to demand
we can't guarantee that you will be able to enter some of the more popular events which are often fully subscribed several weeks ahead of the date of the race, and where preference is given to full members.
Day membership must be taken out for each day of a closed-circuit or off-road multi-stage race, but membership covers all stages on the same day (i.e. a time trial stage and a road race stage).
To join as a Day Member please go to the downloads section of this website to download a copy of the Event Entry & Day Membership application form.
Certain type of events such as circuit or cyclo-cross races, where the size of the field may not be limited, may allow you to turn up and enter on the day, but please do not rely on this! The event organiser probably has enough to worry about!
You must present yourself to Race Control with a fully completed Event Entry & Day Membership application form at least 45 minutes before the start. Otherwise no ride!

In a tiny Texas town near the Oklahoma border, children and their parents don't give much thought to safety at the community's lone school.
That's because some teachers are carrying concealed weapons.
In remote Harrold, the nearest sheriff's office is 30 minutes away. So the school board voted to let teachers bring guns to school about five years ago. They must have a concealed-weapons permit, and each employee also must be approved by the board.
The latest news from around North Texas.
In the awful aftermath of last week's Connecticut elementary school shooting, lawmakers in at least five states have said they'll consider laws allowing teachers and administrators to carry firearms at school.
Texas law bans guns in schools unless the school has given written authorization. Arizona and some other states have similar laws.

Day's Best: Equality in Rhode Island
Colorado may be patting itself on the back for just passing a law allowing gay couples to enter into civil unions, but it's starting to look like we're behind the curve.
Rhode Island has now become the 10th state to allow gay couples to marry.
Gay lobbyists had support this year from unions, religious leaders and key politicians in Rhode Island, overcoming opposition from the Catholic church which called homosexuality "always sinful."

Gift of the Givers Repatriates African Refugees
They came rushing to the check-in line bewildered, excited, emotional. The flight to Bakamo was closing in 10 minutes. They were late, having travelled for 11 hours overnight from the transit camp near Djerba, Tunisia, where like many thousands of others, they were stranded for days. A frightening past; a dismal present; an uncertain future. But anxiety and weariness was masked by overwhelming joy; they were finally going home to family. These were Mali's refugees who had fled the madness in Libya through it's western border with Tunisia.
Excitement turned to desparation; collectively as a group they were 600 Kgs overweight at a cost of 9000 USD. How could these items be left behind? This is all they own; their lifes possessions. The eyes spoke and manifest the pain of the soul, "Please, please no more".
We did the necessary with Tunisian Air ground staff, who were exemplary in their patience, compassion, understanding, temperament and humanity.
Clutching onto what little they had, they ran to the boarding gates and freedom.
Government representatives commented that this was the first repatriation initiative in the world by an NGO in the Libyan Crisis. We felt deeply humbled by the acknowledgement not because we were first, but because, as Africans, representing South Africa, we responded to fellow africans; men, women, and childre, who otherwise, lived without hope.
This was Gift of the Givers' first batch of 40 refugees being repatriated. Tomorrow, the next batch of 12 depart for Mauritania. Later in the day, a Tunisian Air flight, chartered by Gift of the Givers, carrying 160 Sudanese refugees will fly to Khartoum with our representatives on board. This whole effort was co-ordinated in association with IOM, Embassies of the respective refugees, the Tunisian Foreign Ministry and the OIC.
In the meantime, an additional 10 000 USD of essential supplies were distributed in Ras Jidr, the camp of origin of these refugees.

Alena Prochazkova shares her story of becoming the athlete she is today.
I think that my decision was final when I became the World Champion up to 23 years in sprint in
cross-country skiing.
I wanted to repeat the results in the World Cups, senior World Championship and Olympic Games. In the World Cup I succeeded on senior World Championship; my best position is 6th place. And definitely, my trainer and my family also helped me with the decision and results.
It actually started a bit earlier at the Primary School in sports classes in Banská Bystrica. I really longed for becoming an international contestant and taking part at the top competition in the World Cup at the World Championship and Olympic Games. I dreamt about it at that time. I finished the primary school and I was facing the decision whether I should concentrate on sport more. I decided for sport, cross-country skiing was the matter of my heart.
I was about to start my studies at a sports secondary grammar school, but with my father we looked for something more demanding, professional. My father was told about a trainer, arranged a meeting, after passing the tests, I began working with him. He admitted me to their club, where I still belong now. This was the start of my way for the goals I dreamt about. The trainer gradually planned my tailored sports preparation and it resulted in constant sports growth.
Already at the time of my secondary-school studies he insisted I have the presumptions to compete at international competitions with the best sportswomen. At that time, it rather looked like exaggeration to me, but gradually the first results appeared. First, they were the titles of the Slovakia´s Champion, then international success at the FIS competitions, later in junior competitions. I achieved the biggest success in this category in 2007 at the World Championship U23 in sprint in classical technique, when I became the World Champion. Later I started achieving better positions in senior competitions; I was on the winners stand five times and in 2009 I was the winner of the World Cup in sprint in Whistler, Canada.
As it happens in life, success was followed by tougher times. I started to have health issues, which turned to chronic conditions. I started thinking about ending my promising sports career. However, my love for sports won and in spite of a difficult journey I did not give up. Together with my trainer we were looking for the ways and possibilities to strengthen my weakened immunity. At that time, the Forever products helped me a lot. My medical condition got fully stabilized and I again started winning the positions at the world´s top places.
During the World Winter Olympic Games in Erzurum, Turkey, I became the most successful sportswomen with four wins. During the World Championship in 2011 in Oslo, Norway, I won 6th place in sprint. I achieved another place on the winners stand in the Lahti, Finland, in 2013. At the World Championships in 2014 and 2015 I also succeeded to get among the world´s top with the 8th place in this sports discipline and to compete with the sportswomen from Sweden, Norway, Finland, who are much better provided for compared to my conditions. Although I did not make it to the winners stand, this is a motivation for me to work hard and strive to achieve my goal.

Grammy-winning R&B megastar may have another career in professional wrestling once his career in music is finished.
While performing his hit song "Adorn" at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, Miguel attempted to jump from one stage platform to the other. The result was similar to WWE superstar Zack Ryder's finishing move, the "Rough Ryder," as Miguel ended up smashing his leg across the woman's throat and pinning her to the rail of the stage.
The leap then went viral, spawning a plethora of animated gifs, tweets and YouTube videos.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Miguel hit that leg drop and then kept singing like he didn't just break all the vertebrae in that girl's neck. — Workhorse(@ItsJayMiller) May 20, 2013
Unlike many of Ryder's matches, the move did not result in a three-count. But even Ryder was impressed by Miguel's leaping ability.
Sick Rough Ryder by @miguelunlimitedat the Billboard Music Awards. — Zack Ryder (@ZackRyder) May 20, 2013
Instantly after the accident, another woman moved the injured spectator out of view. Although Miguel did appear to look at the injured woman after the incident, he never stopped singing. Miguel was seen backstage consoling her with an ice pack after the performance.
The young singer was clearly embarrassed.
"Well, I think it's kind of clear what happened," Miguel told Billboard. "But I'm very happy to bring my new friend, Khyati, we just met . Unfortunately we did not meet under the best circumstances, but I think we're okay."

Meet a young woman challenging the stereotype associated with the tech world
- 127 Articles
- Age 34
Hi VOY family, I've just returned from the Global Youth Summit: BYND2015 in Costa Rica and wanted to share some of my reflections with you over the coming days. KateVOY
Arriving at the Global Youth Summit (GYS) venue on the morning of day 2 we were greeted mostly by empty hallways and rooms. Most of the participants were out at the National Stadium of Costa Rica attending the first session of the day - Be Healthy. One room, however, was occupied - the venue for the GYS hackathon. We had tried to go in the day before, but were told that we would have to wait until later to gain entrance, as the participants were just beginning to work on their respective challenges. This time around, the door was open and I eagerly peered in. The room was full of teams hard at works, coffee cups and snack strewn on the tables among the laptop computers; a couple of blankets which had been used by those who had worked straight through the night.
The purpose of the hackathon was for teams to design and code digital solutions for development challenges linked to the MDgs. You can read more about the details of the hackathon here. I had a few minutes to spare and was really eager to speak to some of the hackathon participants as they prepared to put the final touches on their prototypes. I was thoroughly impressed – during the last few years at UNICEF I have listened to many tech developers present their solutions to various development issues; and much of what I heard while talking to two of the groups from the hackathon was certainly on a par with these.
Furthermore it was really cool to see that the room was not just dominated by guys (who, let's face do still tend to outnumber women in the computer science and coding field). I was especially keen to speak with some of the female coders who were taking part in the hackathon challenges. I spent some time talking to Latifa and Deana and wanted to share their really inspiring profiles/stories with you.
First up Latifa - I'll post Deana's profile next week.
Latifa Al-Naimi (21), Qatar
"I decided to take part in the hackathon because it was an amazing opportunity that I couldn't pass on. A chance to take part in a 24hr event where you code and try to come up with a solution is amazing. My group has been assigned the category of environment and we've been given data on CO2 emissions in Qatar. One of the things that emits a lot of CO2 is vehicles, and in our country people don't carpool or walk. So we're looking at a solution to raise awareness and encourage people to change their behaviour; but also to influence government and policy.
We're developing a mobile app that users can use in their vehicles and track their emissions. In addition, it will also provide stats that can be sent to the Government who can use it to inform policy. We also want to make the app into like a game, incorporate social networks and allow users to build communities with their friends and see who is doing better. If this is taken up by the Government we could also have rewards for people who reduce their emissions.
I got into tech and coding because I was taught com-sci (computer science) in high school and I loved it. I know many girls don't have that opportunity. Since then I've participated in many competitions. If you don't have a chance to learn about coding at school try and participate in events outside of it. There are also resources on the Internet that can help you learn and Youtube tutorials that make it really simple. It is also fun to get involved with your friends. It might be hard when you start; you're not going to get it right the first time…but keep trying…and eventually even when you get a small thing right when programming, it feels really great."

ESSEX COUNTY AREA, NJ — Essex County's "Code Blue" procedures are being activated from Monday at 5 p.m. to Thursday, March 16 at 8 a.m. due to extreme cold weather and snow in the forecast.
In addition, Essex County Turtle Back Zoo, Codey Arena, the Environmental Center and Senior Centers within the Essex County Parks System will be closed on Tuesday. Visitation hours at the Essex County Correctional Facility have also been canceled.
Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo, Jr. and Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura said providing the homeless residents with a warm place to stay during extreme weather conditions is important for their safety and well-being. DiVincenzo thanked the participating shelters and warming stations (click HERE for list) who are working with the county to open their doors in these times of need.
"Our homeless residents need a warm place to stay when winter weather gets this bad," said Fontoura. "The organizations opening their doors are providing a great service and helping us protect the safety of these vulnerable residents."
Conditions for a Code Blue are defined as when the temperature drops below 15 degrees for a 48-hour period or when the wind chill is below 0 degrees. When those conditions are met, or when the weather forecast predicts these conditions, the County Executive can proclaim a Code Blue and enact the procedure.
When a Code Blue is declared, a network of warming stations operated by the County and its municipalities and shelters operated by the community based organizations will be opened. The warming stations identified include Essex County Codey Arena and a variety of public libraries, senior centers, civic and community centers, school buildings, houses of worship, firehouses and first aid squad buildings.
Warming stations are generally opened during the day and may not provide overnight accommodations. Shelters do provide overnight accommodations. In addition, shelters that regularly require occupants to leave during the day will suspend that practice so people can stay indoors.
A full list of available warming stations and shelters is available on www.NJ211.org and available by dialing 2-1-1.

Written By: NM State Athletic Dept.
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - New Mexico State University and its athletics department announced Wednesday that an invitation has been extended and accepted to join the Sun Belt Conference as a football-only member. This move is pending NM State Board of Regents approval. NM State will begin competition in the Sun Belt in the fall of 2014.
There is no question that the Sun Belt Conference is a league on the rise in football. The conference finished with its most non-conference wins in league history in 2012 and also sent a record four teams to bowl games. The conference also finished the 2012 season with its best ever average computer ranking – finishing ahead of Conference USA and the Mountain West. The league also had two wins over top-25 ranked opponents and Louisiana-Lafayette and Arkansas State won their respective bowl games.
Having reached the 12-team mark, the Sun Belt Conference can now play a football championship game should it choose to do so. Both New Mexico State and Idaho will be immediately eligible to compete for the Sun Belt football championship and also for a spot in postseason bowl games.
NM State, which was most recently a member of the Sun Belt Conference from 2001-2005, will also renew several historic rivalries with former conference foes Arkansas State, Louisiana, and Louisiana-Monroe.
"I look forward to joining the Sun Belt Conference in football in Fall 2014," NM State Athletics Director Dr. McKinley Boston said. "The Sun Belt has established itself as a solid football conference and our goal is to be a contributing member going forward. It will also be a pleasure to work with Karl Benson again who I believe is one of the outstanding commissioners in Division I."
"The addition of New Mexico State marks a significant moment for the Sun Belt Conference," said Sun Belt Commissioner Karl Benson. "The administrators from our league have been working hard and taking the initiative for the conference to continue its expansion during a time when national realignment has been extensive. Having an FBS program join the league will give us a school that is instantly ready to compete for a bowl bid."
"We are honored to receive an offer for our football program to join the Sun Belt Conference and the opportunity to play in a conference that offers such outstanding competition," NM State Interim President Manuel Pacheco said. "Clearly, the Sun Belt is a conference on the rise and we are excited to be part of an organization that shares NMSU's commitment to excellence in the classroom, on the playing field, and, most importantly, to a quality experience for the student athlete."
"First I want to thank Dr. Boston and President Pacheco for their efforts in securing us a spot in the Sun Belt," NM State Head Football Coach Doug Martin. "I'm very excited about competing in the Sun Belt. Obviously, the steps the conference took this past season as far as getting into four bowl games and upsetting some BCS team really established the Sun Belt as a top mid-major conference. The Sun Belt is a conference that is on the rise and we look forward to contributing to it."
The Aggies began conference affiliation in athletics in 1932 when they joined the Border Conference. The Aggies left that league at the end of the 1961-62 academic year and became independent for the next nine years. NM State rejoined conference play in 1971 when the school joined the Missouri Valley Conference. The Aggies left the MVC at the end of the 1982-83 academic year and joined the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference, which became the Big West Conference in 1989.
The Aggies left the Big West at the end of the 1999-2000 academic year and joined the Sun Belt, where they were members from 2000-01 until the summer of 2005. Most recently, NM State was a member of the Western Athletic Conference starting in the 2005-06 academic year and will remain as members in all sports, except for football. The Aggies' women's athletic teams were also members of the Intermountain Conference of the AIAW from 1973 through 1982 and the High Country Athletic Conference from 1982 through 1990.

LightSwitch user: MS developer tool helps you quickly assess business models
By Kathleen Kriz
With Microsoft's Visual Studio LightSwitch beta software, users are given the opportunity to build business applications by using a simplified process, according to an early adopter. LightSwitch helps line-of-business and small business users quickly create both desktop and browser applications, with Azure cloud computing deployment planned in a future version.
Importantly, LightSwitch allows companies to try out new business models, without building full-fledged enterprise applications, according to Patrick Emmons, Director of Professional Services for Adage Technologies.
The simplicity of LightSwitch is beneficial, said Emmons. When creating an application, LightSwitch allows the developer to connect to data, bind it to the controls, add validation, then finally test and deploy in a more simplified way than is possible with the full-fledged tools of the Visual Studio suite.
"If you're a company who's trying to test out a new line of business or an add-on service, LightSwitch would be a great way to share data," said Emmons. "You can have a SilverLight interface with the database out in the [Azure] cloud so your investment is significantly reduced and you can still validate your business model."
LightSwitch has three different models. It can be run solely as a desktop application, on the desktop and also host the user's database, or can be run on the Azure cloud. It can be built in either C# or Visual Basic, and aids the user by creating project templates for Windows, Web, or a similar project.
There is always much discussion of "enterprise-ready" applications, but, Emmons says that not everything has to be enterprise-ready.
"In many cases you shouldn't start there," said Emmons. "I think maybe that's a reason why a lot of these enterprise development efforts fail is because they're trying to start at the teenage years and they didn't bother with the infancy.
"That's where LightSwitch really has some huge value because you're not going to have to risk a lot of resources like time or money or people to get something up and running to validate a business model," he said.
Infragistics releases WPF data visualization controls at Microsoft TechEd
At Microsoft TechEd 2010 Monday, user interface (UI) development tools provider Infragistics released a set of data visualization controls for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) that were previously available only for Silverlight. NetAdvantage for WPF Data Visualization and its Silverlight counterpart can be used to build UIs for applications involving business intelligence and other forms of data reporting.
"Most people have a lot of data that is under-analyzed," said Megan Sheehan, senior product manager at Infragistics. "You've got different data sets and data streams, and it is not a trivial undertaking to set out to analyze it and present the data in a way that is clear, understandable and actionable." Continued »
Microsoft brings .NET 4 to Azure, developers still say it's too expensive
Microsoft announced a number of updates to the Windows Azure cloud platform at TechEd 2010 in New Orleans this week. The biggest of these was support for the .NET 4 runtime and with it, parallel libraries, routing and IntelliTrace.
Other updates included:
- Visual Studio 2010 support and direct service publishing
- SQL Azure database maximum increased from 10GB to 50GB
- Production launch of the Azure Content Delivery Network
- Service monitoring to help developers track and manage the state of their services through the 'compute' node in Server Explorer Continued »
Is there any real difference between VB.NET and C#?
By and large, it seems that Visual Basic no longer deserves the bad rap it's had for many years among more "serious" programmers. After the .NET Framework hit the scene in 2002 a sort of "grand unification" between VB and C# took place that has now rendered the two languages nearly identical, functionally speaking.
Most of the experts I've spoken to on the topic say going with VB or C# is really just a matter of personal preference. But while they were all fairly diplomatic on the matter, everyone seemed only to admit to using VB "in the past" or if clients preferred it. Clearly many of the folks who downplayed VB when C++ was the heavy hitting Microsoft development language still can't quite shake the bias. Continued »
.NET developer-friendly VS 2010 tools may ease Azure development
New cloud development tools in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (VS 2010) promise .NET developers a fast track to building, debugging and deploying cloud-centric Web applications and services. But how easy will it be for developers who have been using Visual Studio 2008 to build standard applications to use Windows Azure tools in tandem with VS 2010? Jim Nakashima, Microsoft Cloud Computing Tools program manager, answered questions about VS 2010-Azure tools usability in interview with Jan Stafford, SearchWinDevelopment editorial director.
In what ways do new Visual Studio 2010 features simplify building applications for cloud environments?
Jim Nakashima: After enabling the Windows Azure Tools, Visual Studio 2010 makes developing scalable Web applications and services that run on Windows Azure straightforward for any ASP.NET developer.
The Windows Azure development experience in Visual Studio 2010 will be immediately familiar to any developer who has used Visual Studio in the past. It's possible to quickly get started with project templates that make it easier to create a Windows Azure Cloud Service, Windows Azure configuration, integration with the Windows Azure development simulation and Windows Azure specific build and packaging.
What should developers know about the Azure framework that can help them understand what the tools are doing?
Nakashima: Windows Azure configuration sets up the composition and interaction between the components of the cloud service and the Windows Azure development simulation allows the developer to run their cloud service locally on the development machine in the same way it will run in the cloud.
In other words, the developer can use Visual Studio 2010 to create Windows Azure cloud service projects, add and configure Web and worker roles using a number of different project templates and run and debug on a local development simulation of the cloud and package their application for deployment. When building cloud applications, the Windows Azure Tools for Visual Studio 2010 allows the developer to not have to do any of these activities manually.
What differences in builds with VS2010 and Azure might pose adoption challenges for some ASP.NET or .NET developers?
Nakashima: For the most part, Windows Azure allows a developer to leverage their existing ASP.NET, .NET and Visual Studio skills and assets, if necessary they need to adapt their applications to be stateless applications that scale out across multiple machines.
In order to be stateless, the developer needs to ensure that the application data is stored in a location that is accessible by all of the instances that are running that application. SQL Azure, and Windows Azure storage fit that bill perfectly. The developer will need to determine whether to use SQL Azure, Windows Azure storage or a combination of both and that decision is highly dependent on the type of data the application will use, a cost, performance and ease of migration evaluation is recommended.
Enterprise Visualization: from requirements to specification
Business analysts have a challenging job in the early stages of an application development cycle. They often need work across business and IT lines to gather requirements and present them in a way that stakeholders can understand – and that developers can implement from. Creating a visualization to show stakeholders can be tricky for business analysts working at a .NET shop, said Mitch Bishop, CMO at visualization tool vendor iRise Inc.
"At the end of the day, Microsoft seems to be continuing to focus on the developer community," said Bishop. "To create the equivalent of an iRise visualization in Visual Studio you have to drop in code." Continued »
Keeping pace with Window UI features, practices
Keeping up with modern user interface (UI) patterns often means giving developers the controls they need to mimic the way Microsoft products feel to users. "Traditionally .NET developers focus on getting things to look feel and behave like users are expecting," said Infragistics' Andrew Flick when we talked about new UI features in Infragistics NetAdvantage recently.
Flick said some of the user interface styles end users are getting accustomed to include the Windows 7 Scenic Ribbon, collapsible tiles that can be organized through drag-and-drop and data cards, for a more compact way of displaying information. NetAdvantage's WPF controls now let developers build these features into their applications. Continued »
Versant moving on object database for .NET
Though not a very mainstream choice, an object database provides developers with an alternative to SQL that thrives in large-scale online transaction processing (OLTP) environments. Mapping data objects to a standard relational database can be a time-consuming endeavor for object-oriented programmers. When the infrastructure is big enough and data access speeds are critical, it can pay off to not have your data stored in rows and columns.
Versant has been in the object database space since the late 1980s and just last year, it released a version of its flagship Versant Object Database (VOD) for the .NET Framework. This month, the company released VOD 8, which it says has enhanced support for multi-core architectures, better internal memory management and updates to its .NET programming interface.
The major advantage to an object database is speed. The database model itself stores object relationships whereas, in a relational database, relationships are calculated in runtime using JOIN operations. It also helps that object relationships can be changed fairly quickly without adversely impacting the containing system.
Dirk Bartels, a strategic product manager at Versant, said VOD has done best in enterprises with very large infrastructures. These have included telecommunications, energy, transportation and anywhere developers run into significant trouble building a system with a flat data model.
Bartels admitted there was a lot of hype around object databases when they were new, but it took time for larger enterprises to more fully embrace object-oriented programming methodologies.
"When we started developing object databases, nobody was using object-oriented programming," said Bartels. "What is helping us now is that for the past 10 years, development technologies have really caught up to the database."
New Silverlight API for SaaS application hosting service
The age-old dilemma of form versus function is often settled by budget. When it comes to building Web applications, most enterprises will fret about making sure its software is functional and up to spec quite a bit more than it will about the user experience. In the .NET world, Silverlight can add a very rich experience to an application's front end.
But reconciling a Silverlight front end with a multi-tenant, on-demand back end can add a good deal of work into building a SaaS offering. Users most commonly experience Silverlight as a single-tenant, client-side instance. A good amount of configuration goes into having apps built on this framework play well with scalable cloud environments.
Looking to remove some of that complexity, Apprenda Inc. of Albany, NY has just released a Silverlight API for its SaaS-enabling application server, SaaSGrid.
The company's application server offers .NET shops and ISVs a way to host on-demand applications in an way that takes much of the hand coding out of scaling and configuring applications in a multi-tenant environment. The new API will let developers use Silverlight as a front end for hosted SaaS applications.
"Typically speaking, if its a SaaS offering, its going to be storing and working with a big back end," said Sinclair Schuller, CEO, Apprenda. "The difficulty becomes, how do you link that front end tenant to the back end cloud system?"
Schuller, said frameworks like Silverlight and Flash are now helping bring the quality user experience of desktop applications to those hosted on the Web.
Moving forward, Schuller said Apprenda would continue to focus research and development on interoperability with different stacks. He said he would like to one day support Java and is not worried about HTML5 stealing Silverlight's thunder.
Modern Windows applications focus more on user experience
User interface (UI) has changed considerably since .NET hit the scene. When comparing Windows applications to those running on a Macintosh, it was pretty clear that Microsoft development leaned a lot further to the right on the form-function scale. But if you look at products like Windows 7 and "Ribbon" UI that shipped with Office 2007, it is clear that Microsoft is putting quite a bit more thought into user experience than it once did.
Andrew Flick, product unit manager of all line of business tools at Infragistics, says this focus on user experience comes from a rise in metrics-based UIs. Infragistics builds tools that help .NET shops shape the user experience of their applications.
Metrics-based UIs, he said, are where a specialist will study various aspects of how easily a user can execute his or her will through an application.
"This can be something as simple as text boxes looking the same," said Flick, "to how many clicks does it take to get from point A to point B." For instance in the MS Office Ribbon UI, most standard actions take a user only two clicks. By the time Office 2007 came around, Flick said, Microsoft probably realized the program had pretty much all of the tools it needed, but people would have trouble finding them.
Probably the most interesting technology Microsoft has released in recent years, from a UI perspective, is the Microsoft Surface. In the realm of touch computing, single touch has been the standard while a few companies have begun releasing multi-touch products, where the number of fingers on a control surface decides the action performed. The Surface, while not widely deployed just yet, uses multi-user-multi-touch computing.
This general rise in consideration for the user experience is where Infragistics has staked its business. Last month the company announced Quince Pro, a new SaaS product for collaborating user experience patterns across teams. Developers can use Quince Pro to create libraries of documented UI patterns accessed through Silverlight 3-based collaboration tools. The product is available on a trial basis and the company says it will be released at the end of Q1.

I've got a stock Boxxer RC 2011 on my bike, and I'm not overly impressed with it's damping. On fast small bumps it tends pack down, and on big hits it bottoms out.
As it's only got overall external compression and rebound adjusters, I can only help one scenario or the other. My mate has the model up (R2C2), which has both the upper and lower travel adjusters for each type amongst others, and it seems to have vastly better performance. However, having serviced both of them, it looks likes much of the difference is in facilitating the extra external adjusters (not all though).
So my question is: Will I get vastly superior performance out of it by sending it away to have the damping cartridge custom tuned to my weight and riding style? Or is it a bit naff by design, so bite the bullet and fork out for an Avalanche/Elka upgrade cartridge (they're custom tuned upon ordering anyway)?

The NFL Players Association said Tuesday it will monitor the league's investigation of harassment claims made by Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jonathan Martin.
"We expect that the NFL and its clubs create a safe and professional workplace for all players and that owners, executives, coaches and players should set the best standards and examples," the NFLPA said in the statement. "It is the duty of this union to hold the clubs and teams accountable for safety and professionalism in the workplace."
The union's announcement came one day after allegations surfaced that fellow Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito sent Martin racist and threatening text messages. Martin left the team last week due to what the team said was reasons unrelated to football, and Incognito was suspended indefinitely on Sunday. Upon suspending Incognito, the Dolphins asked the NFL to conduct a full investigation.
"Every decision I've made, everything we've done in this facility has been done with one thing in mind," Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said Monday. "That's to help our players and our organization reach their full potential. Any type of conduct (or) behavior that detracts from that objective is not acceptable and is not tolerated."
Many Dolphins expressed support for Incognito on Monday.
U.S. & World
"I didn't really see the side being portrayed right now," fellow offensive lineman Bryant McKinnie said.
But others around the league were much more critical of the player who has long had a reputation for playing dirty.
"His whole makeup is to play dirty and hurt guys," Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett said Monday. "Everybody knows that. I just don't understand how he got away with it for so long. I think the NFL really needs to buckle down on it now, because it's bigger than trying to hurt other guys. You're trying to hurt guys on your team mentally, which sometimes can actually be worse than hurting someone physically."
"There's certain people out there who are just punks, and he wants to be that kind of guy," added former Seahawks and Lions defensive end Lawrence Jackson.
The NFL has not yet set any timeline for its investigation, but Philbin has vowed to do his part to make sure the Dolphins foster a welcoming workplace environment.
"If the review shows that this is not a safe atmosphere, I will take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that it is," Philbin said. "I have that obligation to the players that I coach on a daily basis, and I will do that."

With the playoffs coming nearby and the Miami Heat vying to secure the second ranking in the Eastern Conference, reigning two time MVP and superstar LeBron James wants to take his talents to another place. And we aren't talking about basketball.
Joining forces with hedge-fund manager John Henry and veteran Hollywood producer of The Cosby Show, Roseanne, 3rd Rock from the Sun and That 70s Show Tim Werner, James now owns a minority stake in one of the biggest English football clubs, Liverpool FC.
Bringing one of the biggest North American and worldwide superstar athletes and two of the most famous teams in the world, Fenway Sports Group (FSG) also happens to own the Boston Red Sox of the Major League of Baseball, uniting with LeBron James' sports-marketing firm LRMR Branding & Marketing to be a worldwide representative for the Miami Heat star.
This deal is a first of the kind, as no professional athlete at his prime has purchased a stake in such a powerhouse club as big as Liverpool, easily magnifying James' image in the world of sports.
The nine year old Boston-based Fenway Sports Group purchased Liverpool for $488 million dollars last October.
A winning move for LeBron and a winning move for Liverpool. Only if they were both actually winning in their leagues.
Liverpool is valued as one of the most valuable soccer franchises in the world and has won 18 top division championships in its storied history.
"Eighteen championships," the 26-year-old James told the Journal. "I see myself trying to do the same things they have."
Yeah, right. He'll get them all in 4 lifetimes.

There are many benefits of advertising on this blog rather than paying for a paid review. Most advertisers will pay a blogger to review their site or product, and the price they pay will depend on the blog's PR.
The problem with this form of advertising is that the ad only appears on the front page, the page that has the PR, for only a short time. If the blogger posts several times a day it may only appear there for a single day. After that it will disappear into the archives taking with it the PR the advertiser paid so much for.
Rather than pay for a review I put it to all advertisers that they will get a lot more value for their dollar by purchasing a 125×125 ad spot. Let's look at some of the advantages.
- The ad is always on the front page giving you maximum exposure. This means that even though someone lands on a particular page or post your ad will always be displayed
- People are more likely to click on a banner than a link in a post.

Calendar: Yip Foundation Band Night, Museo de las Americas concert … and more
The Nathan Yip Foundation Associate Board, in cooperation with Flobots.org, is staging the first Back to School Band Night, starring Bop Skizzum, on Friday at Stoney's Bar and Grill, 1111 Lincoln St., Denver. It starts at 6:30 p.m.
Tickets are $40 for VIP admittance, $20 for general admission and $10 for designated drivers. They can be purchased online.
Proceeds go to the Nathan Yip Foundation and the Flobots.org Community Center in Denver.
The Nathan Yip Foundation Associate Board was formed last year by a group of former Kent Denver classmates of Nathan Yip, who lost his life in an automobile accident when he was 19. His parents, Linda and Jimmy Yip, started the foundation in 2002 and since that time, it has raised the money to build seven schools and support two orphanages in China. It also provides year-round support for an orphanage dormitory in Mexico, has donated funds to Colorado Heritage Camps, Colorado UpLIFT's My Book Foundation, the Asian Pacific Development Center, Escuela Guadalupe and has done work in Africa.
Money raised from the Back to School Band Night will be used to support vulnerable youth and educational projects in Colorado. "We felt it was important to get involved in this foundation named for our good friend Nathan Yip," says the associate board's chairman, Keith Bell.
"It's been 10 years since Nate died, and his spirit and soul have remained with all of us and we want to help make a difference in our community in Nathan's honor." Bell was instrumental in starting the associate board with another of Nate's friends, Alan Frosh, the chair-elect.
Others on the committee include Danny and Heather Bell, Emily Greene, Jamie Duke, Tom Harrington, Owen McMillan, James Barrett, Cameron Bosson, Ben Brenneman, James Iacino, Matt McConaty, Cara Goman, Meg Merry, Bailey Rogers and Holly Downs.
"We want this to become a Denver tradition," Frosh says. "A back-to-school tribute for our friend Nate that will benefit schools and education in Colorado."

Sixto Rodriguez: The Powerful Music of a Deeply Good Man
Searching for Sugar Man is the magical story of a gifted singer-songwriter from Detroit, who was an enigmatic mystery. His face half-hidden by long flowing hair and dark glasses, he sang in smoke-filled folk music bars, often with his back turned to the audience. His name was Sixto Rodriguez.
In the late 1960's, Rodriguez was so good that with neither fame nor a large fan base, he signed a two-album contract with Sussex and A&R Records. The first album, Cold Fact, got a rare four-star review from Billboard Magazine. However, neither it nor his second album, Coming From Reality, sold well, the contract was dropped and the story seemed to end there.
Nothing else was heard from Sixto Rodriguez. But several years later, his albums traveled half-way around the world, to Cape Town, South Africa, where bootleg copies passed from hand to hand and his songs became the storied anthems of the anti-apartheid movement. When an indie record store owner named Stephen Segerman released them commercially, they took off, the first selling 500,000 copies, which in that nation was comparable to the Beatles or Elvis Presley.
Searching for Sugar Man is a 2012 Swedish/British documentary directed by Malik Bendjelloul, which follows the efforts of two Cape Town fans, Stephen 'Sugar' Segerman and Craig Bartholomew Strydom, to find out whether the rumored death of Rodriguez was true, and, if not, to discover what had become of him. The film won the Special Jury Prize and the Audience Award for Best International Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival, the Audience Award at the Los Angeles Film Festival, the Audience Award at the Durban International Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Melbourne Film Festival. Malik Bendjelloul won the 2013 Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Achievement in Documentary for Searching for Sugar Man, which has also been nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 2013 Academy Awards to be held in February 2013.

Last week was a busy one. The next two will be worse.
In the last week we had a new No. 1 angler in the world (Kevin VanDam), some major shifting in the Majors World Ranking and now, we're only days away from the Bassmaster Classic.
Before we talk about our Classic coverage, we did want to touch upon the Bass Open from a week ago. With all the chaos following the FLW Tour Open at Okeechobee, the Central Open at Lewisville kind of got lost. So we wanted to find it. It is a Movers & Shakers article after all.

Sydney Summer Twilight Series at Marie Ave Reserve, Glenwood
Friday, 22 January 2016
Marie Ave Reserve, Glenwood, Sydney, NSW
The Sydney Summer Twilight Series event at Marie Ave Reserve in Glenwood on Friday, 22 January 2016 is one of a number of events in the Sydney Metro area over the summer.
It is organised informally by volunteer hosts, who facilitate the event on their preferred date and venue. Races are held in the twilight so that runners can race after work. All are welcome.
The philosophy of the series is: "First and foremost, all ability levels are welcome. However long it takes you to complete the distance is the time it takes you to complete the distance. Anyone who believes that there should be a time limit criteria has got the wrong series. Whether you hop skip walk fart hobble run to get the distance is irrelevant, turning up and having a go is what it is all about. If you are worried about this being elitist, you couldn't be further off the mark."

James Luther Adams
In 1948, most congregations and houses of worship in the United States were segregated by the color of their members' skin. Some were segregated by law; others by custom. The First Unitarian Society of Chicago was one of these congregations. Although their church was located in a neighborhood with many African Americans, only whites could join, according to the written by-laws of the church, and according to custom.
The day came when many members began to believe they needed to take action against racism if they really wanted to live their values and principles. The minister, the Reverend Leslie Pennington, was ready for this day and ready to take action. So was James Luther Adams. James Luther Adams was a famous liberal theologian and social ethicist. He taught at the Meadville Lombard Theological School , right across the street from the First Unitarian Society of Chicago. And he was a member of the congregation's board of directors. Along with some others, Reverend Pennington and James Luther Adams proposed a change in the church's by-laws to desegregate the church and welcome people whatever the color of their skin. They saw this as a way to put their love into action.
When the congregation's board of directors considered the desegregation proposal, most of them supported it. However, one member of the board objected. "Your new program is making desegregation into a creed," he said. "You are asking everyone in our church to say they believe desegregating, or inviting, even recruiting people of color to attend church here is a good way to tackle racism. What if some members don't believe this?"
Desegregation was a very controversial topic. In 1948, anything about skin color and racism was controversial. Some people, even some who supported African Americans in demanding their civil liberties, believed in a separate-but-equal policy which kept people apart based on their skin color.
Respectful debate ensued at the First Unitarian Society of Chicago. Both sides felt, in their hearts, that their belief was right. Perhaps they were so busy trying to be heard they forgot to listen. And so, they kept on talking.
The debate went on in the board of directors' meeting until the early hours of the morning. Everyone was exhausted and frustrated. Finally, James Luther Adams remembered that we should be listening twice as much as talking. He asked the person who had voiced the strongest objection, "What do you say is the purpose of this church?"
Suddenly, everyone was listening. Everyone wanted to hear the answer to this crucial question. Probably, the person who objected was listening especially hard to his own heart, as well as to the words he had heard from other board members through the long discussion.
The board member who opposed opening the church to people of color finally replied. "Okay, Jim. The purpose of this church is to get hold of people like me and change them."
The First Unitarian Society of Chicago successfully desegregated.
