NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's lacrosse team scored three times in the second quarter to take the lead for good and went on to defeat visiting UMass Boston, 8-2, in a Little East Conference match at Cressy Field Saturday.
Senior midfielder Steve Colella (Wakefield, MA/Wakefield HS) broke a 1-1 tie when he scored at 12:40 of the second quarter. Sophomore attackman Josh Arsenault (Revere, MA/Malden Catholic HS) made it 3-1 two minutes later, and junior attackman Andrew Foster (Newbury, MA/Danvers HS) added a goal at 6:51 to give the Corsairs a 4-1 halftime lead.
Senior attackman Matt Leary (Framingham, MA/Framingham HS) scored for UMass Dartmouth in the third quarter, before the Beacons' Aaron Pollock (Jr. Belmont, MA/Belmont HS) scored to cut the lead to 5-2. But UMass Dartmouth scored the only three goals of the fourth quarter to account for the final score.
Foster had two goals for the Corsairs, while Arsenault added a goal and three assists and Leary scored once and assisted twice. Colella, senior midfielder Matt Swirbalus (Weymouth, MA/Weymouth HS), sophomore midfielder Nick Campbell (Rutland, VT/Rutland HS) and freshman attackman Dan Stefanini (Hopkinton, MA/Hopkinton HS) also scored for UMD, while freshman midfielder Al Craven (Milton, MA/Milton HS) joined Pollock in scoring for the Beacons.
"We played well defensively today," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Kevin Mahoney. "We did a lot of things right and we did a lot of things better. We are progressing as a team defensively, and we are doing a better job of picking our spots to be aggressive."
UMass Dartmouth out shot UMass Boston, 36-14. Corsair freshman goaltender Kevin Pelsinski (Merrimack, NH/Merrimack HS) made eight saves, while UMB freshman goalie Anthony Fitti (Havertown, PA) made 15.
The Corsairs improved to 4-5 and 1-1 in the Little East Conference with the victory, while UMass Boston dropped to 1-4 and 0-2 with the defeat. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they visit Southern Maine next Saturday. UMass Boston will visit MIT Tuesday.

The Texas House has told the Senate it can't agree to include a provision in the state budget that would ensure lawmakers have a say in any effort to change Medicaid eligibility and lays out parameters for those changes, according to a top Republican aide who spoke on condition of anonymity.
It was the latest twist in days of closed-door meetings over a two-year spending plan, which hangs in the balance as the session nears its May 27 end.
The Senate provision has been viewed with concern by a number of House Republicans who contend it could be viewed as opening the door to Medicaid expansion. Republican leaders oppose expansion, although some have wanted to find an alternative to draw down billions of federal dollars to cover uninsured Texans who'd otherwise be eligible for Medicaid.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Tommy Williams, R-The Woodlands, has said the provision isn't related to Medicaid expansion and is aimed at reforming the current system.
It would require Legislative Budget Board approval of eligibility changes, so leading lawmakers would have a say even if changes are proposed by Gov. Rick Perry after the Legislature adjourns.
But the House removed a similar provision from its version of the budget after the limited-government Texas Public Policy Foundation, which has close ties to Perry, said it opened the door to expansion.
The aide said the provision had been included in the working budget document during conference committee votes and that the House negotiators want to remove it.

Enter next phase of the housing crisis.
First quarter sales data released yesterday by RealtyTrac showed that foreclosure accounted for 28 percent of all sales -- the highest amount in a year.
Click here to see the worst cities >
The slow return of millions of REO homes to the market will keep home prices from recovering. RealtyTrac's James J. Saccio warns: "At the first quarter foreclosure sales pace, it would take exactly three years to clear the current inventory of 1.9 million properties already on the banks' books, or in foreclosure."
If millions more distressed mortgages, aka the shadow inventory, enter foreclosure, then things could get even worse.
Nevertheless the number of properties in foreclosure declined in the first quarter. Foreclosure filings were reported on 681,153 properties, a 15 percent decline from the previous quarter and a 27 percent decline year-over-year.
Nevada fared the worst with one of every 35 homes in foreclosure. Arizona, California and Utah weren't much better.
To visualize the foreclosure crisis, we used a real estate filter on Google Maps. Each red dot represents a home that was in foreclosure at the beginning of the quarter.

DELAWARE, Ohio – On the last day of the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championship, the women's 4x100 meter relay and sprinter Hulerie McGuffie (Lynn, Mass.) earned All-American honors to mark one of the most successful showings at the national championship in over 30 years Saturday afternoon at Ohio Wesleyan University.
The 4x100 meter relay team posted a seventh place finish (47.71) in Saturday's championship to earn Renee O'Brien (Stoneham, Mass.), Krista Ledin (Bridgewater, Mass.), and Anisha Trappier (Taunton, Mass.) their first All-American honors. McGuffie who also competed in the 400 meter dash became the first athlete since the 1980's to earn two All-American honors on the same day. O'Brien career as a Beacon came to an end following Saturday's championship meet. A team captain, O'Brien produced an impressive senior season, which included becoming the first athlete to qualify for the high jump. For Ledin, she became just the second UMass Boston athlete to earn All-American honors in two different sports, having been named a D3Soccer.com honoree last season.
The first athlete to ever accomplish the amazing feat was Carol Thomas '87, who was also a member of the women's basketball program. Ledin also became the first athlete in UMass Boston history to compete in two different NCAA Championships, having led the women's soccer team to their first tournament appearance in 2012.
In perhaps the most anticipated meeting of the season, McGuffie stepped on the track in the 400 meter dash to face a stacked field of sprinters. The Lynn native, who entered this year's championship with the top time in the country 55.14, posted a third place finish on Saturday. With a time of 54.24 the sophomore set a new personal record to become the first four-time All-American since 1989.

Western Red Cedar is a gorgeous and practical choice for all kinds of exterior applications including siding, fencing and decking. It looks great year after year, and weathers the elements and ravages of outdoor life especially well thanks to several intrinsic properties:
Natural Defenses
Thanks to preservatives that occur naturally in the wood fiber, Cedar is intrinsically resistant to moisture, decay and insect damage. These preservatives are also toxic to decay-causing fungi.
Dimensionally stable
Because of its low density and shrinkage factors, Western Red Cedar is one of the most stable American "softwoods." It lies flat, stays straight, and holds fastenings tightly so your deck or siding stays sturdy and looks great – even with shifts in temperature and humidty.
All Weather
Cedar will stand up to the elements (sun, rain, heat and cold) year after year.
Rated for safety
Cedar exceeds safety classifications for flame spread and smoke development and does not require preservative treatments.
Easy To Work With
Western Red Cedar produces long, lightweight lengths of timber with a fine, straight grain and uniform texture that make it easy to cut, saw and nail with common tools. It is also very light on pitch and resin so it holds glue bonds and takes stain beautifully.
We are very excited to announce that our Seattle and Portland locations are now stocking FSC-certified Western Red Cedar decking, siding and fences from British Columbia. You will love it when you see it!

Game 48 vs. POR: The Euros Are Coming! The Euros Are Coming!
Or, alternatively, "the one where Memo got his groove back, and AK leaves a 'blazing trail' of destruction in his wake."
If not for the dare-not-hope Jazz fan side of me, I should have known 100 seconds into the game that it was going to be a good night for us. On the Jazz's third posession, Memo got the board on one end and flew–and by "flew," I mean flew–to the basket and threw it down with authority.
Whether it was due to the Turkish fans sitting behind the Jazz bench, his teammates making an effort to get him involved early, or both, Memo could not have been more Moneyman tonight. He was 11-13 from the field and also collected 8 boards.
Meanwhile, my own personal slice of Jazz Heaven, AK, continued breaking opponents. With the way he's played recently, I simply have no more superlatives left to describe him. He was absolutely phenomenal, and tonight, like many previous nights, he was omnipresent on the court. Despite getting [called for] his third foul just 4 minutes into the second quarter, AK did it all, once again (22 points on 8-9 shooting, 6 boards, 8 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks).
I also have to give it up to Jerry. As many have noted lately, Jerry is playing the part of masterful puppeteer to perfection. He's known to be a stickler for set rotations, but he's getting everyone involved, and riding the hot hand. Whereas Memo didn't get into the fourth quarter in the last two games, he played the final six minutes tonight.
By the end, and especially watching AK throwing up circus shots that went in and slamming dunks down like there was no tomorrow, I was just sitting there laughing. There was nothing else to do. We're getting rock-solid, highlight-filled, Hustle Mania, team wins. What more can a fan ask for?*
*Actually, I'm kind of sad no one (Getty, AP, SLTrib, DesNews) uploaded a picture of AK sitting on Bayless.
Bayless went up for a dunk in the 4th, got blocked by AK, and wrapped his arm around AK as he fell to the ground (I know AK has been playing incredible, but Jerryd took his mancrush a little too far if you ask me). AK landed on top of Bayless and glared at him for a moment before getting up. If anyone wants to send me a screencap, I'd be ever so grateful.
Final note–I think Deron is growing out his beard and transplanting it onto his head. His famous bald spot has completely disappeared:

Installing Windows is a complex operation that provides an incredibly unique capability—the ability to run a new version of Windows on a vast array of hardware configurations and combinations that were designed with no knowledge of a future Windows, even a version with substantial re-architecture of the Kernel. While most people do not experience the full code path of setup/upgrade (because they buy new PCs and choose to get a new version of Windows that way), even orchestrating the new PC "out of box experience" (OOBE) is a complex technical challenge. Our aim in improving setup is to reduce the time from start to finish so that customers can get to Windows and use the full power of Windows to further customize and ultimately enjoy their new Windows experience. This post was written by Christa St. Pierre on our Setup and Deployment team.
(Note, we're taking a break for the US Holiday)
Setup is something that gets a lot of attention from us in any Windows release. It needs to just work reliably across a huge number of variations of hardware and software. This is true whether you are upgrading your own laptop, or you're an IT pro who is migrating 10,000 desktops in an enterprise using broad deployment tools. For Windows 7 our main focus was on improving successful install rates, and we did a lot of work to improve reliability and deal with many tough (but relatively rare) cases that had caused problems in setting up earlier versions of Windows. This work gave Windows 7 a more reliable setup experience than in any previous Windows release, as measured by lab testing, customer support incidents, and setup telemetry.
For Windows 8, our goal was to continue to improve reliability while also improving the installation experience and raw performance. Not only did we want it to be rock solid, but also faster and easier to use.
A big challenge
Although millions of people choose to upgrade their existing PCs, most people choose to get a new version of Windows preinstalled on a new PC. In the past that often had to do with increasing system requirements in new Windows releases, and the need to purchase new PCs with more power to run the new version. With Windows 7 however, we made a commitment to work on many more existing PCs by keeping system requirements low and maintaining compatibility. We've continued that commitment with Windows 8, so many of you with existing PCs can simply upgrade. Looking just at Windows 7 customers, there are currently more than 450 million PCs that will be able to run Windows 8, but we expect that many systems running Windows Vista and even Windows XP will also be eligible.
Support for these PCs running different Windows versions is a big challenge in terms of testing all possible upgrade paths, languages, service packs, architectures, and editions. When you think about it, it is a rather remarkable achievement that hardware designed for one OS can be supported on an OS that did not exist when the hardware was created, especially considering that connecting hardware to software is a fundamental role played by the OS.
There are always complexities involving hardware support. Sometimes PCs are equipped with peripherals that require updated drivers for Windows 8, and in other cases, for any number of reasons, a PC maker decides that a particular model or configuration is not supported on a new version of Windows. There are also complexities in getting software to work seamlessly upon upgrade, particularly utilities that hook into the lowest levels of Windows such as anti-virus, disk format and defrag, or virtualization. While we have a massive test and ecosystem effort, ultimately the final say on support on a new version of Windows for a PC, peripheral, or software package is determined by the maker of that product. Our commitment to keeping things running and bringing forward software is industry leading and continues with Windows 8. At one recent team meeting, a member of our team showed Windows 8 running Excel version 3.0, which is the 16-bit version of Excel from 1990!
Perceived as "difficult"
During planning for Windows 8, we wanted to hear from customers who chose not to upgrade to Windows 7 even though their PCs would run it. In 2010 we commissioned a study of how people make PC purchase decisions, and talked to customers in three global markets to find out more. While the list of reasons as to why a customer chose not to upgrade varied by market, we have received notable feedback that upgrading the PC was perceived as difficult. So even though many customers wanted to upgrade, the current setup experience might be something that just wasn't easy enough to make them feel confident in doing so.
Different customer needs
Hearing that some customers think it is too difficult really highlights the fact that we have many different customer needs we need to fulfill with setup. Most customers who buy a Windows upgrade from a retailer just want it to be fast and easy, but a few also want to be able to do some more complex things, such as setting up in a multi-boot configuration. And of course, we also have the IT Pro customers, who need to take full control over configurations, install from network as well as media, and add customizations to the setup image. The advanced user's needs are a lot like those of the IT Pro, both because they require more fine-tuned control and because it's hard for us to predict exactly which controls they may want to manipulate. For this reason, we have not created a "super advanced setup" mode, but we encourage people who want to create unattended setup configurations for home or work to use our standalone deployment tools. In Windows 7, we provided a Windows Automated Installation Kit, and in Windows 8 we have enhanced that with additional tools in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit, which is available for download to MSDN subscribers.
For this post, I'll talk mostly about the interactive GUI setup experiences, since that's where we have the most changes. We sought to maintain very high backwards compatibility with existing unattended installation configurations that IT Pros or advanced users have spent time on for Windows 7, so you can expect those to work consistently for Windows 8 as well, without having to start over. So rest assured that your custom deployments continue to be fully supported as before.
Streamlining the end-to-end experience
Leaving aside automated installations and just looking at the typical GUI scenarios, we still wanted to serve two distinct customer groups in the setup user experience:
- People who want an easy way to upgrade to the new release with an absolute bare minimum of hassle
- People who want to do a clean install, and want more control of setup options, disk layout, and partition configuration
The way we approached these needs was based on the realization that the first group typically runs setup in the UI of their current Windows OS (i.e. they launch it like an app), while the second group typically runs setup from boot media. So, rather than trying to rationalize two fairly different experiences and customer requirements, we chose to maintain two setup user experiences: a streamlined setup that you reach by running an .exe from the DVD or via web delivery, and an advanced setup that runs when you boot off of a DVD or USB key. The streamlined setup is a new experience, optimized for ease-of-use, upgrades, and web delivery via download. Advanced setup is the home of all things familiar to the advanced user, including full support for unattended installation, partition selection, and formatting. Under the covers they share all of the same setup engine components. So both experiences benefitted from our ability to focus on a common codebase for performance and reliability enhancements.
Shifting towards web delivery methods
Before going into the detail on the user experience changes, there's one big change that is important to call out. In the past, if you wanted to buy an upgrade for Windows, it involved purchasing a boxed product from a retail outlet, taking it home, (sometimes being infuriated while trying to open the box,) and inserting a DVD. However, buying boxed software is quickly becoming the exception rather than the rule, with more and more software being purchased online as broadband penetration increases and large-size media downloads become more common. While we will continue to offer boxed DVDs, we are also making it easier than ever to purchase and install online. This includes starting the setup experience online as well, and having one continuous integrated experience from beginning to end. There is also one big advantage that is a favorite of mine. With our web setup experience, we actually "pre-key" the setup image that is downloaded to a unique user, which means that you don't have to type in the 25-digit product key when you install!
Streamlining - Reducing repetition and integrating experiences
More than 20 million customers downloaded and ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor during the first six months of availability. Many customers also ran Windows Easy Transfer during this same time period. A reasonable (and often recommended) installation experience for Windows 7 followed a flow like this:
- Download and install Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
- Run Windows Upgrade Advisor
- Run Windows Easy Transfer to save files and settings
- Run Windows 7 setup and clean install
- Run Windows Easy Transfer to restore files and settings
This end-to-end experience included 4 different web and client experiences and required the average customer to walk through 60 screens to complete. The primary reason for the high screen count was the repetition of information. We can visualize it something like this:
A common Windows 7 installation experience: Upgrade Advisor, Windows Easy Transfer, and Setup
In Windows 8, rather than having Upgrade Advisor, Setup, and Windows Easy Transfer as separate apps or features, we've folded them together into one fast and fluid experience in which we first determine if your PC, apps, and devices will work in the new OS, note which things you want to keep (apps, files and/or settings), and then install the new OS.
We've also added the capability for setup to resume automatically after certain actions (such as resolving a blocking compatibility problem), which in the past would have required restarting setup again from the beginning.
Here's what to expect when you launch the new setup experience from the web :
Determining compatibility
The first thing we do is scan the PC to determine compatibility, resulting in a summary report such as this one:
Windows 8 setup compatibility summary
It provides information on the apps and devices that will work in Windows 8, those that won't work, and any other system information that is useful to know when determining whether or not to purchase and install Windows 8. A detailed compatibility report is also available if you want to print or save the information, or desire more detail about what to expect once you get to Windows 8, including which apps or devices will require updates.
The compatibility data behind the report covers hundreds of thousands of applications and devices, including retail software, OEM preinstalled software, and peripherals. If an application or device ran on Windows 7, our goals is that it should run on Windows 8 too, but in some cases it may require an update or other support from the OEM or vendor. Some applications also have custom installation logic – installing certain components or settings depending on the OS you're upgrading from (this is particularly true of system utilities and software that is tightly connected to hardware and peripherals). You may need to uninstall and reinstall these types of apps. (This is also a reason to be careful of 3rd party "app mover" applications, which claim to move apps from one OS to another, as the end result can be unpredictable or broken.) As a reminder, the best drivers for any system are the ones available directly from the PC manufacturer for embedded hardware and from the device manufacturer for peripherals.
Detailed compatibility report
Downloading Windows 8
Next, an integrated download manager provides time estimates, data validation, the ability to pause, resume, and re-download only parts of the file if something goes wrong. Additionally, because we have already scanned the PC to determine compatibility we know which version of Windows 8 to download – eliminating the need to ask questions such as which language or OS architecture to choose.
Downloading the Windows image from the web
Continuing with installation or creating bootable media
Once the download is complete, you are presented a choice to continue the installation, or install on another partition. The latter option takes you to advanced setup, and allows you to save an ISO or create a bootable USB drive before completing other advanced setup options. (This is the option you'll need to choose if you want to dual boot, for example.)
Creating bootable media from web-based setup
Choosing what to keep
Next is the upgrade choice. You can choose to keep all, some, or none of your personal data depending on the OS you're upgrading from, and your personal preferences.
Windows 8 setup options for upgrade and migration
The "Windows settings, personal files, and apps" option is akin to the existing "upgrade" option in Windows 7 and Windows Vista, where an in-place upgrade is performed over the current OS, retaining the apps that were previously installed as well as settings and user files on disk.
The "Just personal files" option is a new functionality, which allows you to get a clean install, but still keep your data without a separate tool such as Windows Easy Transfer.
The upgrade options that you might see in the screen above depend on which version of Windows you are upgrading from. Here's the list of what you can migrate based on your currently installed version of Windows:
|You can transfer these…
|When upgrading from…
|Windows 7
|Windows Vista
|Windows XP
|Windows settings
|User accounts and files
Clean install is supported across all versions.
Resolving blocking issues
Often you may need to make changes to your PC before you can continue with the installation. Common requirements include things like uninstalling an application, freeing up disk space, or suspending BitLocker. When encountering this scenario in Windows 7 setup, you would simply see a warning message and then you'd have to exit, take care of the clean-up that was listed, and resume setup again from the beginning. In Windows 8, most items listed in the actionable compatibility report (shown below) include a button to help you directly resolve the blocking issue. For example, if an app needs to be uninstalled, clicking a button in this report automatically launches the uninstaller for that particular app. Once the app is uninstalled the report automatically refreshes, and setup continues without having to start again.
Resolving blocking issues directly from the setup experience
This also works in the case where a reboot is needed. For example, if the blocking app requires a reboot after it is uninstalled, setup will resume from where it left off before the reboot.
The result
The scenario we presented at the beginning that included four different wizards and up to 60 screens in a Windows 7 upgrade can now be accomplished in one end-to-end experience and as few as 11 clicks, an improvement of 82% fewer clicks in Windows 8. The exact number of steps you need to take to complete the installation varies based on your existing OS, migration choices, install method, and number of blocking issues you need to resolve to get the PC ready for installation, but the experience is greatly simplified for everyone. We accomplished all of this with no loss of functionality or customization—we simply streamlined the existing experience.
The typical Windows 8 installation experience, with integrated advisor, migration, and setup
Improving upgrade performance
If you had a large number of files on your system, you may have seen that installation times in Windows 7 didn't scale very well. In fact, as you can see in the diagram below, the more user files there are on a PC being upgraded (regardless of the size of the files) the longer the upgrade takes to complete.
Windows 7 time to upgrade in relation to the number of files on a PC
Note: Time in this graph represents time to complete the upgrade once the installation is
initiated, and does not include time to download or read files from media.
The reason for this is that in Windows 7, the upgrade process preserved the customer's applications in the Program Files folder and their files in the Users folder by moving each file to a transport location (so that the original folders can be deleted to make way for the newer installation), and then moving them back again to complete the installation. With music and photo collections, it's not unusual to have hundreds of thousands of files, so even relatively fast move operations can really add up.
To address this in Windows 8, we have made several modifications to the upgrade engine to reduce the impact on upgrade times.
Moving whole folders
In the past, each file that was preserved across upgrade was moved individually. In Windows 8, instead of moving things file-by-file, we move entire folders, drastically reducing the number of file operations required. This goes a long way towards shrinking the variation in upgrade times due to the amount of data the customer has on the machine.
At a high level, the logic for whether or not we need to move a given folder is:
- Every file in the folder (and its sub folders) is preserved (there are no exclude rules removing some of the files, for example).
- The entire folder is placed on the target OS unchanged.
- The target destination doesn't already exist (i.e. we don't have to merge an existing folder on the destination OS with one from the source OS). There are a few exceptions to this rule however – for example, every folder has a desktop.ini file, but we have logic that allows the source folder to overwrite this file, as in many cases the file is only a cache and can be regenerated.
Simplifying the transport
In Windows 7 the transport (this is the place where we store the files and settings being preserved between the old and new operating systems) was comprised of two folders: "Windows.~q" and "Windows.~tr". In Windows 8 we have simplified this to just one folder. We have repurposed the "Windows.old" naming convention for consistency with clean install (which creates a "Windows.old" folder containing the previous OS in order to be able to roll back should the installation fail). Merging the transport folders into the single Windows.old folder speeds up the upgrade process, as it removes the need to move files between the ~tr and ~q folders.
Switching to hard links
In upgrades to Windows 7, files were moved between the old OS, the transport, and Windows 7 by using file move operations. In upgrades to Windows 8, we use hard link operations instead. This means we can link to the actual data on disk in the transport location without having to physically move the file, which has a significant performance gain. And if something goes wrong with setup and we have to roll back, we just need to delete the hard links, and the files are completely unaffected on disk.
Removing the down-level gather phase
In Windows 7, the files and settings to be preserved across the upgrade were calculated while the previous OS was still running. The registry values and data collected by our upgrade logic were also gathered while running on the old OS. The content of the files was then gathered offline during the Windows Pre-Installation Environment (Windows PE) phase in order to avoid file-in-use issues.
Most of this work has been removed in Windows 8. The gather rules no longer run during upgrade; instead, we just move the following folders into Windows.old when the PC is offline:
- Windows
- Program files
- Program files (x86)
- Users
- Program data
This means that during the "apply" phase of upgrade (once we are running in Windows 8), everything we need to preserve can be extracted from the Windows.old folder (as we touch no other folders during the upgrade), eliminating the need for a gather phase. Speaking of the Windows.old folder, we have also added a new feature that automatically deletes that folder 4 weeks after a successful install, so you don't have to worry about removing it. Of course, you can still use the Disk Cleanup tool to remove it immediately if you prefer.
The result
In our labs we compared Windows 7 upgrade times to upgrading to a recent Windows 8 build, and found that the variation in upgrade times based on number of files has been virtually eliminated, as shown in the diagram below.
Windows 7 vs. Windows 8 time to upgrade
Note: Time in this graph represents time to complete the upgrade once the installation is initiated
and does not include time to download or read files from media.
Additional optimizations for web delivery
As I mentioned above, Windows 8 setup has been designed for online delivery, in addition to the local delivery from a DVD or USB drive. While downloading Windows has been possible in the past, it was primarily a physical media experience made available for download. In Windows 7 upgrades, for example, two copies were created of the download content on the customer's drive—the compressed download and the extracted contents—requiring ~5 GB. This could be very problematic on space-constrained systems. Additionally, both the compressed and extracted download contents remained on disk, even after a successful installation.
For Windows 8, in addition to the setup experience improvements for web delivery, we also optimized other aspects. Our goal was to minimize the time it takes for the download to complete, verify the integrity of the bits that are downloaded, minimize disk space requirements, and ensure a resilient download experience for the customer. The two main areas of improvement for Windows 8 are constructing optimized download packages, and making sure that downloading is flexible and resilient.
Constructing optimized download packages
The Windows 7 media layout for x86 consists of 874 files and 200 folders, with a number of redundant files both in the media and compressed within install.wim and boot.wim. To efficiently store and transfer the contents of installation media, we typically use ISO files. For example, an ISO created from the x86 client media is 2.32GB. In order to optimize for download in Windows 8, we take the required subset of files for the specific version of Windows being downloaded. After eliminating duplicates and compressing resources, the single-file size is 2.10GB (as compared to 2.32GB), a savings of 9.5%. After this optimized package is created we compress it using an improved compression algorithm specifically for Windows 8 setup, which provides an additional 28% savings. In this example (using the Windows 7 x86 ISO) the size of the download would be reduced from 2.32GB to 1.51GB.
Downloading is flexible and resilient
The download manager included in Windows 8 setup downloads the optimized package containing the new OS and reconstructs the layout required to run through the install process, without leaving duplicate files on the system. The download manager leverages the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) as the default transport protocol to transfer files from the Internet to the local machine and provides the ability to pause, resume, and restart. It verifies the bits that are downloaded in 10MB increments. If verification fails for a particular increment, the download manager has the ability to re-request only that specific block of data without having to restart the entire download.
The result
In Windows 8, customers do not have to install a separate download manager, mount the ISO to begin the installation, check the hash of the file for verification post-download, manually clean up unneeded files, or restart a download from the beginning should connectivity be interrupted. Setup takes care of all of these steps automatically, providing a fast, resilient, and easy setup experience. And again, this is true whether you just want to run a quick upgrade on an existing installation, or to create boot media for an advanced setup experience – either with GUI or unattended.
Advanced setup for IT Pros
I said at the beginning that this post wouldn't go into a lot of detail about our automated installation using the Assessment and Deployment Kit (formerly the WAIK) but I know that many readers of this blog may be interested in learning more about it. So, here are a couple of handy configurations that will make it easy for you to customize a bootable USB drive (that you can create as part of our download experience) and automate your installation. For full details about all of the configurations that are possible, check out the Windows 8 ADK (for MSDN subscribers only). If you aren't an MSDN subscriber check out the Best Practices for Authoring Answer Files article on TechNet. These best practices still apply for Windows 8 and all of the tools and documents referenced in the article are available in the Windows 7 WAIK or the Windows 8 ADK.
Here's a video demonstrating an advanced setup from a USB flash drive. Note that this experience is not yet available in the Developer Preview build, but will be there in the final release.

Key injection
You may have noticed in the screenshots and video above that none show the familiar "type your product key" experience. In the web setup scenario you won't see those screens because of key injection from the server, but if you boot from media and choose to do an advanced setup, you'll have to type it in. With "unattend" settings though, you can do your own key injection, so that you can skip this step. This is handy if you're reinstalling after changing some system components or replacing a drive.
The specific setting that you will need to configure to do this is the ProductKey setting.
Here's a sample:
Automating install
You can also automate other parts of the experience so that you don't have to manually click through the screens. Here are a couple of other settings that are useful when automating your install:
You can choose the UI language used for Windows:
There are additional settings for every UI choice, so you can script it to the point that the install is essentially hands-off from start to finish.
Dual boot configuration
Unattend is also useful when you want to automatically configure the system for booting multiple operating systems. You could do this all manually in the Advanced Setup GUI and BCD configuration, but why do that when you can script it? The unattend framework is very flexible and you can instruct Setup to format, create, or modify partitions on the PC's disk(s).
Using the DiskID setting you can create and modify partitions. You can then specify the PartitionID setting to install to a specific partition—one that is different from an existing OS partition.
Here's a sample to install to a specific partition:
<Path> Z:\sources\install.wim </Path>
Where to save your unattend answer file
Once you have your answer file configured to your liking you can copy it to the root of your USB media. (Remember, if you use setup from the web, you can still create a bootable USB drive or save to an ISO.) You can also include the file at the root of the DVD media where you burned the ISO, if you chose that route instead. Even cooler, the unattend file doesn't even have to be on the installation media. In fact you can place the unattend file at the root of a USB flash drive, plug in the flash drive before starting setup, and setup will automatically find it and use it.
An improved setup experience
With Windows 8 setup we have greatly improved both speed and ease of use, while still retaining all of the advanced setup functionality that many customers will demand. We have integrated what was once many separate steps for people to perform when preparing and starting their setup into a streamlined user experience, with a fast and reliable setup engine under the hood. Customers who choose to install Windows from an online source will have a greatly improved experience over what we've delivered in the past, with smaller and faster downloads, as well as increased resiliency and control. We hope that you will find these improvements to be a great way to start your experience using Windows 8.

American Buffalo
by David Mamet
directed by Wilson Milam
During one long day in a run–down junk shop, three men of great ambition and low morals plan a heist of a customer's valuable coin collection. When the con goes awry, it's every man for himself. This fast paced drama is all aggression and testosterone, with characters wielding words like weapons to intimidate, cajole and manipulate each other. The results are hilarious, powerful and ultimately tragic in a play that's recognized as a modern masterpiece.
- Run time is approximately two hours with one intermission.
- Mamet's tough-talking junk store con men don't mince words. If you're sensitive to profanity, be ready for some rough language. Because of the colorful dialogue, we recommend the play for ages 17 and above.
- American Buffalo also contains suggestive content, and violence.

Two powerhouses of pop culture are collaborating, as McFarlane Toys announces a licensing agreement with Microsoft to produce action figures based on the hit video game series Halo®. Halo 3 is scheduled to arrive in stores later this year.
Halo follows the events of an inter-galactic war between the last surviving members of the human race and an advanced collection of alien races known as The Covenant. The first title in the series, Halo: Combat Evolved, was the flagship title for Microsoft's Xbox video game console when it was released in 2001. The game achieved both critical acclaim and financial success, selling more than 6 million copies worldwide.
"Halo is one of the top video game franchises of all time," says McFarlane Toys CEO, Todd McFarlane. "We get to put our company's touch on a sci-fi epic that is visually and thematically stunning. Through its game-play, Halo has been able to attract a very large and loyal audience, most of whom happen to be our customers as well, which makes this an excellent partnership."
The proposed action figure lineup is as follows:MASTER CHIEF -- The protagonist of the Halo series stands at 5 inches tall, and has more than 18 points of articulation. Equipped with his trademark assault rifle, Master Chief's mission is to protect Earth against the Covenant, an alien empire threatening the world in the 26th century. Biological and cybernetic enhancements and rigorous military training have resulted in Master Chief's unquestioned status as the finest soldier mankind has ever produced.
BRUTE CHIEFTAIN -- The highest rank in the Brute hierarchy is the Chieftain, whose articulated figure is the tallest of the series at 6 inches. Belonging to the Covenant, the Brute Chieftain carries the gravity hammer, a close-range weapon with the ability to alter gravity at a local level and crush his enemies and surroundings.
CORTANA -- Developed by the United Nations Space Command (UNSC), Cortana is a smart A.I. with the ability to project herself as a holographic image and be transferred between computer systems, including the cybernetic armor of Master Chief. This figure's base features an LED light that illuminates her 4.5 inch-tall figure.
JACKAL SNIPER -- To the benefit of the Covenant, Jackal Snipers have incredibly sharp reflexes and deadly aim. Standing at 5 inches, the Jackal Sniper is equipped with its signature beam rifle, which has the ability for long range shooting and a high degree of damage.
GRUNT -- At 4.5 inches tall, the Grunt is a menace to the human race, and represents the vast majority of the Covenant infantry. The Grunts are the lowest tier of the Covenant hierarchy, and move in packs. They are expected to unquestioningly obey the commands of their Brute commanders. Outfitted with weapons including the Plasma Pistol and Needler, the Grunts may not seem much more than cannon fodder, but in groups, they can be deadly.There will also be a three-vehicle line-up that includes:WARTHOG -- As the most widely recognized vehicle of the UNSC, the Warthog is a ground vehicle capable of carrying up to three soldiers. Known as the best all-around vehicle for its power, adaptability and toughness, the Warthog measures 3 inches in length and is built of plastic.
GHOST -- The Ghost is a single-seat, anti-gravity vehicle used by the Covenant. Mounted with twin plasma cannons, the Ghost is a rapid-attack vehicle designed for speed and maneuverability. The Ghost is 3 inches long and made with plastic.
BRUTE CHOPPER -- The Brute Chopper makes its debut in Halo 3. A single-wheeled vehicle, the Brute Chopper will prove invaluable to the Covenant's campaign against humanity. With a length of 3 inches, the Brute Chopper will be made of and plastic.The figures are expected to hit store shelves Spring 2008.
Halo 2 was released in 2004, breaking sales records (more than 7 million copies worldwide) and becoming the fastest-selling media product in US history.
Halo 3, in development for the Xbox 360, is scheduled for release on September 25, 2007.

State College, Pa. — 6 February 2013 — AccuWeather reports while the pattern of spotty, nuisance snowfalls as dominated the weather recently, two storms are set to join forces to unleash a blizzard across eastern New England as Friday comes to a close.
A weak storm from western Canada, known as an Alberta Clipper, could sync fast enough with a storm from the south to bring more than spotty, intermittent precipitation to parts of the Northeast spanning Thursday night into Friday night.
About one out of five Alberta Clippers strengthens upon nearing the coast and deposits heavy snow in the process. An even lower percentage of these storms merge with a southern system near the coast, forming a much stronger storm with heavy precipitation.
The clipper itself is likely to spread moderate to heavy snow from southern Wisconsin and central Michigan to upstate New York, while the storm to the south delivers soaking rain from the western Gulf Coast to the Carolinas.
When these two storms join forces, a fierce blizzard is expected to unfold across eastern New England from Portland to Boston to Providence.
Blizzard conditions will develop in this corridor Friday afternoon, leading to a nightmare for the evening commute. The worst of the blizzard will then howl Friday night.
To the north and west, snow also threatens to cause slippery travel and delays across the rest of New England and eastern New York later Friday into Friday night. This could potentially include New York City.
Milder air (or the retreat of arctic air) is another issue with this storm. Odds favor Friday to start with rain from around New York City to Cape Cod, but that should not stop snow from coming down Friday night.

Who wants to live forever?
What would happen if we found a way to stop ageing?
That is the question Drew Magary tries to answer in this debut novel. Immortality is a fun concept for science fiction. At a glance it looks wonderful but if you think about it for a while there are obvious drawbacks as is made clear in this story.
John Farell gets the cure in the beginning of the book and we get to follow him and society as the consequences manifest. He starts out as a Lawyer and bums out for a while before becoming a certified end specialist who helps people who want to die.
I am impressed by Drew's imagination and he presents good arguments for how immortality affects marriage, economy, work life and more. The unavoidable anti movement is also well portraited.
John is well developed as a character even if I feel a certain distance at times but it feels like that was intended. The reader is there as the observer. The other characters are more of a support cast. Even so I greatly enjoyed this novel.
The End Specialist lives high on idea and ambience. It has a grim humor that might not be for everyone but fit my mood like a glove. The characterization could have been better. You have to decide for yourself it is a deal breaker. It wasn't for me. I am keen on reading more by Drew Magary in the future.
And who isn't secretly interested in living forever? This novel might change your mind.
Book Information
The End Specialist by Drew Magary (Harper Voyager 2011) – review copy – Amazon US | UK
Alternative title The Postmortal.
A gripping, compulsive thriller set in a future where the cure for ageing has been discovered… to devastating consequences
"You got me. I don't want to die. I'm terrified of death. I fear there's nothing beyond it and that this existence is the only one I'll ever possess. That's why I'm here."
(An excerpt from the digital journal of John Farrell, cure age 29)
2019. Humanity has witnessed its greatest scientific breakthrough yet: the cure for ageing. Three injections and you're immortal – not bulletproof or disease-proof but you'll never have to fear death by old age.
For John Farrell, documenting the cataclysmic shifts to life after the cure becomes an obsession. Cure parties, cycle marriages, immortal livestock: the world is revelling in the miracles of eternal youth. But immortality has a sinister side, and when a pro-death terrorist explosion kills his newly-cured best friend, John soon realizes that even in a world without natural death, there is always something to fear.
Now, John must make a new choice: run and hide forever, or stay and fight those who try to make immortal life a living hell.

The number and kinds of treatment choices you have will depend on all of these factors:
- The type of cancer you have
- The stage (extent) of the cancer
- Your age, overall health, and personal needs
You are a key part of your cancer care team – you should talk about what treatment choices are best for you. Don't be afraid to ask questions – as many as you need. Make sure you understand your options. Hearing that you have cancer almost always makes people feel like they have to start treatment as soon as possible. But you usually have plenty of time to think through all of your options so you can make the best possible choice.
How is cancer treated?
The major types of treatment for cancer are surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy (which are reviewed in the next section, "Common types of cancer treatment"). You might also have heard about hormone therapies, biologic therapies, targeted therapies, and stem cell transplants.
We have detailed information on all of these treatments, which may help you as you make decisions. We also have more about common treatment side effects and how to manage them.
What treatment will be best for me?
Your cancer treatment will be based on your situation. Certain types of cancer respond better to certain types of treatment. Knowing the exact type of cancer you have is important in deciding which treatments will work the best. The cancer's stage (how much cancer there is and where it is) will affect treatment options, too.
Your health, lifestyle, and personal preferences will also play a part in deciding which treatment plan is best for you. Some types of treatment might work better for you than others, so be sure you understand your options. Don't be afraid to ask questions. It's your right to know what treatments are most likely to help and what their side effects may be.
What is the goal of my treatment?
Before starting treatment, ask about the goal of treatment. Is the purpose of the treatment to cure the cancer, control it, or treat problems it's causing? This is a key part of the decision-making process. Sometimes the goal of treatment can change over time.
What is remission?
Remission (re-MISH-un) is a period of time when the cancer is responding to treatment or is under control. Some people think that remission means the cancer has been cured, but that's not always the case.
Complete remission means that all the signs and symptoms go away and cancer cells can't be found with any of the tests used for that cancer. It's also possible to have a partial remission. That's when the cancer shrinks, but still causes symptoms or can be detected on tests.
Remissions can last anywhere from many weeks to many years. Complete remissions may go on for years and over time be considered cures. If the cancer returns, more treatment might lead to another remission. A cancer that has recurred (come back) may respond to a different type of treatment, such as a different group of drugs or radiation versus surgery.
What is staging?
Staging is the process of finding out how much cancer there is and how far it has spread. Staging the cancer is a key step in making treatment choices. It also gives your cancer care team a better idea of your chances for recovery. The staging process takes time, but it's how you and your cancer care team learn which treatments are likely to work best before you start treatment.
A staging system is a way for your cancer care team to sum up the extent of the cancer. The TNM system is the one used most often. It gives 3 key pieces of information:
- T usually describes the size of the main tumor and whether it has spread to nearby tissues and organs.
- N describes how far the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.
- M shows whether the cancer has spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body.
Letters or numbers after the T, N, and M give more details about each of these factors. For instance, a tumor staged as T1, N0, M0 is a tumor that is very small, has not spread to the lymph nodes, and has not spread to distant parts of the body.
Once the TNM descriptions have been found, they are grouped together into a simpler set of stages, in most cancers stage 0 through stage IV (0-4). As a rule, the lower the number, the less the cancer has spread. A stage IV (4) means a more serious, widespread cancer.
After looking at your test results, your doctor will tell you the stage of your cancer. Be sure to ask your doctor any questions you have about what the stage of your cancer means and how it affects your treatment options. Contact us if you need help understanding the stage of your cancer.

Des Moines Events, Coupons, Reviews!
5340 Alla Rd, 105 Los Angeles, CA 90066
I have tried several different types of monthly subscription boxes; teas, beauty, pet products, and meals but this is my first experience with a wine club. I determined to give Winc a try in order to step out of my comfort zone and start trying different types of wines. Winc is a direct-distribution global wine company that would like for you to have a personal wine experience.
To order, you take a Palate Profile quiz that recommends wine based on your own unique taste. This is great because it takes the hassle and guesswork out of picking a bottle from your local liquor store and it delivers the perfect bottle directly to your doorstep. You decide which ones you want out of the 4 bottles that Winc recommends each month. Choose from all white or red, or as I did and mix them up. I ended up choosing two whites; 2016 Funk Zone White Blend and a 2016 Diviner Sauvignon Blanc and two reds; 2016 Brethren of the Road "Talk West" Valdiguié and a 2016 Passarola Red Blend.
The welcome email included a link so I could read the tasting notes, how to serve the wine and some food pairing ideas for the wines I had ordered.
Below is information given about Brethren of the Road:
|2016 Brethren of the Road "Talk West" Valdiguié and a 2016 Passarola Red Blend.
|2016 Funk Zone White Blend and a 2016 Diviner Sauvignon Blanc.
When your friends and family use the link below they will earn a complimentary $20 of Winc wine! As a gift, you'll get $13 on their 1st shipment, and another $13 on their 2nd. To learn more about how referrals work, click here.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -
The UC Santa Barbara women's tennis team left it all out on the court this afternoon on senior day, defeating visiting UC Davis by a score of 5-2. The Gauchos swept the doubles point from the Aggies and won four singles matches for their second win in a row. With the victory, UC Santa Barbara is now 9-12 overall, and 4-3 in Big West conference play.
Senior Brittany Kausen and sophomore Tova Hausman started doubles play with an impressive 8-1 vicotry over the Aggie duo of Robin Guier and Emma Shapiro. Senior tandem Charlotte Scatliffe and Marta Simic took the doubles point for the Gauchos, when they overpowered Randi Schuler and Herzyl Legaspi at No. 1 singles. Freshman Jill Damion and sophomore Asagi Onaga finished the sweep for UC Santa Barbara, as they easily handled Anita Athavale and Desiree Stone 8-3.
Charlotte Scatliffe went out in style in her last home match, dominating Emma Shapiro in straight sets 6-1, 6-1 to give the Gauchos an early 2-0 advantage. UC Davis came roaring back to tie the match at 2-2, with wins at No. 2 and No. 3 singles. Hausman quelled the Aggie momentum with a 6-0, 7-5 straight set victory at the No. 4 slot. In perhaps her strongest performance on the year, senior Brittany Kausen secured the Gauchos second consecutive win with a 7-5, 6-2 straight set winner at No. 6 singles.
Although the last match to finish had no bearing on the outcome of the match, it turned out to be the most thrilling. Down 5-2 in the third, senior Marta Simic battled back to tie the match at 6-6. Simic captured the win against Randi Schuler 7-6 in the third, extending the final score to 5-2.
"The day ended like a Hollywood movie script with No. 1 Marta Simic coming back from 2-5 down in the third set and winning her last home match 1-6, 6-1, 7-6," said head coach Pete Kirkwood. "What a day!"
The Gauchos conclude their regular season this Sunday with a match at Central Coast rival Cal Poly. First serve at the Mustang Tennis Complex is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. (PT).
Complete results listed below.
UC Santa Barbara 5, UC Davis 2
No. 1 Marta Simic (UCSB) def. Randi Schuler (UCD) 1-6, 6-1, 7-6 (2)

Create Your Plate!
Click on the plate sections below to add your food choices.
Seven Simple Steps to Create Your Plate
It's simple and effective for both managing diabetes and losing weight. Creating your plate lets you still choose the foods you want, but changes the portion sizes so you are getting larger portions of non-starchy vegetables and a smaller portion of starchy foods. When you are ready, you can try new foods within each food category.
Try these seven steps to get started:
- Using your dinner plate, put a line down the middle of the plate. Then on one side, cut it again so you will have three sections on your plate.
- Fill the largest section with non-starchy vegetables. See this list of non-starchy vegetables.
- Now in one of the small sections, put grains and starchy foods. See this list of grains and starchy foods.
- And then in the other small section, put your protein. See this list of protein foods.
- Add a serving of fruit, a serving of dairy or both as your meal plan allows.
- Choose healthy fats in small amounts. For cooking, use oils. For salads, some healthy additions are nuts, seeds, avocado and vinaigrettes.
- To complete your meal, add a low-calorie drink like water, unsweetened tea or coffee.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-A former assistant coach at Wheaton College is the new head coach of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth women's lacrosse team.
Sarah Booker, who was an assistant at Wheaton for the past three years, will succeed longtime Head Coach Jerry Jennings, who has stepped down to take over UMass Dartmouth's new sailing program.
Booker served as the Lyons' defensive coach and academic advisor under Head Coach Emily Kiablick. Last year, Wheaton went 7-12 and advanced to the semi-finals of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference post-season tournament. The Lyons were also recognized as a member of the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches' Association Academic Squad as they posted a team grade point average of better than 3.0.
A native of Lexington, MA and a 2005 graduate of the University of Vermont, Booker played lacrosse, soccer and hockey at Buckingham, Browne and Nichols School, twice serving as team captain. She starred as a midfielder at UVM, earning All-Conference honors in the America East Conference in 2003 and 2004, twice serving as team captain, and scoring 42 goals and adding 19 assists in 58 games. She led the Catamounts at least once in ground balls, draw controls and caused turnovers, and was named to the All-Championship Team in 2002. Named the team's Best defender in the same season, Booker earned the Coaches' Award as a senior.
Prior to attending Vermont, Booker was an assistant coach of the Buckingham Browne and Nichols middle school girls' lacrosse team, and a member of the administrative team at Camp Aloha Hive in Fairlee, VT from 1999 through 2006.
After her years at UVM, Booker was drawn back to the sport in which she had excelled. "I really missed being involved with it," said Booker. "I found the job at Wheaton on LaxPower, and they went to the semi-finals of the conference tournament last year. It's been a slow and steady climb."
UMass Dartmouth Director of Athletics Ian Day was enthusiastic. "I am excited to have someone of the caliber of Sarah Booker in charge of our women's lacrosse program," said Day. "She had a great career as a player, and she has a tremendous knowledge of the game."
Booker can't wait to get started. "I think UMass Dartmouth is a great place to be because of its programs and its location, and the athletic program seems to be strong right now," said Booker. "I'm very excited about the opportunity, I'm grateful to Ian Day and the search committee, and I can't wait to get started."
