But what was most inspiring to some of us was the sheer number of women — and not just Hillary — who were doing the talking. From Chelsea working on behalf of her mother to Michelle and friends (above), both Democratic candidates are using women to appeal to women.AdvertisementIn California, Maria Shriver made a surprise appearance/endorsement for Baracl Obama on Sunday in Los Angeles, appearing onstage at a rally with Obama's wife Michelle, Oprah Winfrey and Caroline Kennedy after will.i.am and friends warmed up the L.A. crowd with a little MTV-inspired campaign ad. Polls show that Obama (with a little help from his friends) has done a good job at reducing the gap in the polls between him and Hillary, who has long been expected to carry the state.For her part, Chelsea Clinton has taken a leave of absence from her job and been stumping for her mother, even giving her first public speech last week following weeks of comments that she would neither talk to or in front of reporters despite her increasingly public role in her mother's campaign.AdvertisementIn the end, though, no matter who you support, we've come a long way from the days when the vast majority of campaign event headliners were men and a political spouse or daughter was meant to be seen by her candidate's side (or her husband's candidate's side) and not heard as a strong voice on her own. Now we just have to worry that they're just pandering to the impression that women like to hear women because we're all women.

Sometimes we need to run a SQL statement from LINQ. This article will show how to do this.
First you create a *.dbml file for mapping your database from 'Add New Item' in Visual Studio.NET 2008. As you know, a query in LINQ is different from a query in SQL. Here I create a method called GetMember which contains a SQL statement as a string which I need to execute from LINQ, and returns a list of members which make this method as datasource to grid view later.
I create this method for searching members by any parameter entered and with each other:
GeoDataContext MemberConnection = new GeoDataContext(); //connection public List<Member> GetMemberSearchAll(string name, string fname, string MemberNo, string QualificationClass, string WorkClass, string GeoID) { var sql = @"SELECT DISTINCT * FROM dbo.Member where MemberCode <> 0"; if (name != "") { sql = sql + " and (dbo.Member.MemberName like '%{0}%')"; } if (fname != "") { sql = sql + "and (dbo.Member.MemberFameName like '%{1}%')"; } if (MemberNo != "") { sql = sql + "and (dbo.Member.MemberNo = {2})"; } if (QualificationClass != "") { sql = sql + " and (dbo.Member.QualificationClass = {3})"; } if (WorkClass != "") { sql = sql + " and (dbo.Member.WorkClass = {4})"; } if (GeoID != "") { sql = sql + "and (dbo.Member.GeoID ={5})"; } sql = string.Format(sql, name, fname, MemberNo, QualificationClass, WorkClass, GeoID); var quary = MemberConnection.ExecuteQuery<Member>(sql); return quary.ToList(); }
Here I first formulate strings by both SQL statement and parameter by order, then I execute the method called ExecuteQuery from my connection which takes a parameter as a SQL query. Its summary in documentation of Visual Studio is "Executes SQL queries directly on the database and returns objects" then pass this SQL formatted to it.
Thanks, I hope this will help somebody.

YPSILANTI, Mich. — The reward for information in the slaying of Eastern Michigan University football player Demarius Reed has been increased to $15,000.
Crime Stoppers of Michigan on Thursday announced the increase from $10,000.
Ypsilanti police Detective Joe Yuhas tells The Ann Arbor News that police continue to investigate the case and are following leads after getting "good information." The Detroit News reports police last week interviewed 10 people in their investigation.
Reed was fatally shot multiple times Oct. 18 at an off-campus apartment building in Ypsilanti in what police have said was a possible robbery.
The 20-year-old played in six games for Eastern Michigan this season. He was a communications major and starred as a receiver at Chicago's Simeon Career Academy.

Artichoke Fritters With Remoulade Sauce
Mayonnaise | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
Dijon mustard | 1 Teaspoon | |
Anchovy paste | 1⁄2 Teaspoon | |
Minced capers | 1 Tablespoon | |
Minced cornichons | 1 Tablespoon (French Gherkin Pickles) | |
Minced parsley | 1 Tablespoon | |
Minced fresh chives | 1 Tablespoon | |
For fritters | ||
Fresh lemon juice | 1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs) | |
Artichokes | 5 Large | |
All purpose flour | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
Baking powder | 1 Teaspoon | |
Ice water | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
Vegetable oil | 1 Quart (For Deep Frying) |
1. Make the remoulade sauce: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, anchovy paste, capers, corni-chons, parsley, chives and lemon juice with 1/2 cup of water. Whisk to blend well. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
2. Make the fritters: Pour the lemon juice into a large nonreactive saucepan with about 2 quarts of water.
3. Trim each artichoke by snapping off the stem; bend back and pull off the tough outer dark green leaves. Using a serrated stainless steel knife, cut off the top two-thirds of the artichoke, leaving about 1 1/2 inches of the heart. Pare away the bases of the dark green outer leaves. As you trim each artichoke, drop immediately into the acidulated water to prevent discoloration.
4. When all the artichokes are in the saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to moderate and boil until the artichoke hearts are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the hearts cool in the cooking liquid to retain their color. (The artichokes can be cooked 1 day ahead and refrigerated in their cooking liquid overnight.)
5. When cool, remove the artichokes from the liquid and cut each heart into eighths. Remove the hairy choke and drain well.
6. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and baking powder with the ice water. Blend thoroughly.
7. In a deep-fryer or large deep saucepan, heat the oil to 400°. One by one, dip each piece of artichoke into the batter and add to the hot oil. Fry in batches without crowding until crisp and brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve the fritters hot with the remoulade sauce for dipping.

Born in Liverpool, England, on January 19, 1922, Hughes decided early in his life that he wanted to be a filmmaker. When he was 14 years old he won an amateur movie-making contest.

Welcome to Ainsworths Homeopathic Products
Spring time weather is so inspiring and always makes it so fun to pick outfits. You can get creative with thin layers, vibrant colors, and crazy prints. That is exactly why we love this Printed Jersey Tunic from Donna Morgan. Combination of the color block with flower prints gives so much character to this dress. It can not get more interesting than the black, purple, and blue flowers on block of white, black, blue, and purple. Shift Silhouette and beaded round neckline adds classiness to this fun and spontaneous dress, making it a perfect contemporary spring time dress.
DIY Accessory - 'Flower' Corsage
Well guys, summer is upon us and school is finally over! Well almost. In honor of prom, we're making a DIY accessory that is as good as gold when it comes to spicing up your date's duds or your elegant dress. This will be a night to remember so forget about trying to save a dying flower in a box for the rest of your life. This DIY memento will last forever. Take a date night style tip from the queen of corsages, Carrie Bradshaw. She's the inspiration for this week's StyleHive project! What you'll need- -Scissors-Needle and Thread-Brooch pin-1/2 yard square of fabric of your choice (just be sure to choose something lightweight! Organza or a sheer silk works great!)Step 1 - Staring from the edge, cut the fabric into a round spiral shape. The end result should appear as one long and narrow ruffle. Step 2 - Thread your needle leaving 2 inches of thread from the knot and sew a loose stitch along the edge of your fabric. Knot and snip the end.Step 3 - Holding the excess thread in one hand, push the fabric so that it gathers at one end.Step 4 - Sew on the pin so that it holds together the 'stem' of your flower corsage.

Halo Cloud. Alien Invasion?
The Sun Newspaper has reported on a second Halo cloud sighting.
The article does actually include a credible explanation from the Met Office.
A natural occuring phenomenon for sure, but given the Met Office recent "it's going to be a very mild winter" fiasco I would have posted the explanation as "a meteorologist who wants to remain anonymous". ;-)

Finally, the Oscar nominations were announced last Tuesday. Furthermore, three of the four big guilds — the Producers, the Director's and the Screen Actors — have given out their awards over the last couple of weekends, with only the Writers still to hand out any statuettes. So at last, months and months down the line, we can stop talking about what's going to be be nominated, and start talking about what's going to win. Or at least who's leading the field at this point.
It might seem at this stage that everything is wrapped up by now, but with the exception of a few categories (including, honestly, the big one), that's not really true as there's still plenty of potential for shocks on the night. We do still have a month to go, and a lot can happen in the next few weeks, so we'll be making our final predictions nearer the time. But how are things standing for now? Below, we've run down every category (bar the shorts: we haven't seen them yet, but we hope to cover them in the weeks running up to the awards), with the nominees listed in order of their likelihood of winning. Check it out below.
Best Visual Effects
1. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"
2. "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Pt. 2"
3. "Transformers: The Dark of the Moon"
4. "Hugo"
5. "Real Steel"
As the only real groundbreaker among the nominees, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is the obvious frontrunner here. But it doesn't necessarily have the thing sewn up: will the revolutionary way it used motion capture on giant, outdoor sets chime with the membership at the large they way it did with the effects branch, especially with a few slightly shaky moments in among the great work? It's still the likely winner, but Potter or "Transformers" could well take over (bear in mind: neither series has an Oscar to their name so far).
Best Sound Editing
1. "War Horse"
2. "Hugo"
3. "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"
4. "Transformers: The Dark Of The Moon"
5. "Drive"
Best Sound Mixing
1. "War Horse"
2. "Hugo"
3. "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"
4. "Moneyball"
5. "Transformers: The Dark of The Moon"
Always tricky to predict, if these were given on merit alone (based on the nominees), it'd be the typically excellent work on 'Dragon Tattoo,' or the sole nomination for "Drive." In reality, despite the obnoxiously loud work on 'Transformers,' the general membership is likely to lean towards something more awards-worthy. The sound is a little showier in "War Horse" than in "Hugo," so we'll lean that way for now, even if it's likely to be the film's only awards.
Best Original Song
1. "Man Or Muppet" – "The Muppets"
2. "Real In Rio" – "Rio"
The most ridiculous line-up in a long history of ridiculous line-ups, the Academy might as well flip a coin if they're only going to nominate two songs. Should be "The Muppets," by a landslide, but bear in mind that this is a category that's been won by Three Six Mafia.
Best Score
1. Ludovic Bource – "The Artist"
2. Howard Shore – "Hugo"
3. John williams – "War Horse"
4. Alberto Iglesias – "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"
5. John Williams – "The Adventures Of Tintin"
With John Williams a double nominee, against expectations, we honestly can't see him winning — neither film is the obvious pick, so his vote should be split. "The Artist" is the real front-runner here, but depending on the extent to which it sweeps the technical categories, "Hugo," and Howard Shore, could theoretically beat it to the post. It's unlikely though. Iglesias, who's never won, will have to take the nomination as a victory.
Best Makeup
1. "The Iron Lady"
2. "Albert Nobbs"
3. "Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Pt. 2"
Thanks to the showy old-age makeup, "The Iron Lady" shold have this sewn up, but, despite it being eerier than, well, Voldemort, "Albert Nobbs" could be in with a shout too. 'Potter' could figure in as a recognition of the achievements from across the series, but we doubt it.
Best Costume Design
1. Mark Bridges – "The Artist"
2. Sandy Powell – "Hugo"
3. Michael O'Connor – "Jane Eyre"
4. Lisy Christl – "Anonymous"
5. Arianne Philips – "W.E."
Going by the reasoning that the membership in general sometimes just vote for their favorite film in a category, rather than the greatest achievement in the category, we're going to lean towards "The Artist" here, particularly as it has the advantage of having a Hollywood-based nominee Mark Bridges (an Australian best known for his work with Paul Thomas Anderson). That being said, the period prettiness of "Jane Eyre" always does well in a category that can see otherwise-ignored period films honored (see "The Young Victoria," "The Duchess"), and Sandy Powell is a serious contender for "Hugo." Any of the three could well take it, the others are making up the numbers.
Best Art Direction
1. Dante Ferretti, Dorothee Baussan, Francesca Lo Schiavo – "Hugo"
2. Laurence Bennett, Robert Gould – "The Artist"
3. Stuart Craig, Stephenie McMillan – "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2"
4. Rick Carter, Lee Sandales – "War Horse"
5. Anne Seibel, Helene Dubreuil – "Midnight In Paris"
This is one case where "Hugo" has a natural advantage over "The Artist" — there's no denying the impressive nature of those huge sets, among the biggest ever built. If the film wins any award, it'll be this one, but it will depend on "The Artist" — if it sweeps in other categories, this could follow. Again, the last chance to honor the 'Potter' franchise could factor in, but likely not in a year as competitive as this one.
Best Editing
1. Thelma Schoonmaker – "Hugo"
2. Anne-Sophie Bion & Michel Hazavanicius – "The Artist"
3. Christopher Tellefsen – "Moneyball"
4. Kirk Baxter & Angus Wall – "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"
5. Kevin Tent – "The Descendants"
A tricky one here: four worthy winners, and "The Descendants." In the latter case, Fox Searchlight needed a technical nod to be seen as staying in the Best Picture race, so that's their victory here. Otherwise, we reckon that Baxter & Wall having won last year probably rules them out, but any of the others are feasible. For now, we're putting our chips on Schoonmaker, a beloved figure and three-time winner, but it's equally possible that "The Artist" wins.
Best Cinematography
1. Robert Richardson – "Hugo"
2. Emmanuel Lubezki – "The Tree of Life"
3. Guillaume Shiffman – "The Artist"
4. Janusz Kaminski – "War Horse"
5. Jeff Cronenweth – "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"
Another tough one. Emmanuel Lubezki has never won, and could finally convert, but he's got serious competition; everyone except Cronenweth is feasible (even though he lost out last year). The black and white look of "The Artist" is very likely, but our gut right now says that Robert Richardson's 3D work on "Hugo" will end up winning the day. It'll be interesting to see who the ASC go for when they announce their guild winner on February 12th.
Best Documentary
1. "Hell And Back Again"
2. "Pina"
3. "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory"
4. "Undefeated"
5. "If A Tree Falls: A Story Of The Earth Liberation Front"
As "Project Nim" was snubbed, this is more open than it had been before. Unlike most categories, voters have to prove that they've attended screenings of all five to cast their ballots, so you tend to get a dedicated core, who love nothing more than an issues-driven picture, ideally about Iraq or Afghanistan, to win. As such, we've got to pick "Hell and Back Again" as our frontrunner, although "Pina" and "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory" might have the right stuff too, for different reasons.
Best Animation
1. "Rango"
2. "Chico & Rita"
3. "A Cat In Paris"
4. "Puss In Boots"
5. "Kung Fu Panda 2"
If 'Tintin' had made the cut, it might have managed to unseat "Rango," but as it is, Gore Verbinski's film is the front-runner by a mile, with no chance of either DreamWorks sequel unseating it. Maybe we'll see a surprise victory for one of the the independent upstarts, but they're likely to divide the vote, and no non-studio picture has won the prize since the category was first introduced.
Best Foreign Language Film
1. "A Separation"
2. "Footnote"
3. "In Darkness"
4. "Monsieur Lazhar"
5. "Bullhead"
Always a nightmare to predict, a screenplay nod and a sweep of pretty much every major award up until now would seem to point the way to "A Separation," and it's obviously the front-runner. But if it loses to a less well-known picture, it wouldn't be the first — think "Amelie" to "No Man's Land," or "Biutiful last year. As such, almost anything goes, although we can't really see the very dark "Bullhead" making much headway.
Best Original Screenplay
1. Woody Allen – "Midnight in Paris"
2. Michel Hazanavicius – "The Artist"
3. Asghar Farhadi – "A Separation"
4. Kristin Wiig & Annie Mumulo – "Bridesmaids"
5. J.C. Chandor – "Margin Call"
Woody has a whopping 23 nominations, and three Oscars, but hasn't won since "Hannah and Her Sisters" in 1987, and that fact, and the sheer virtue of having dialogue, which closest competitor "The Artist" doesn't have, clearly puts him in the lead here. But again, if the latter sweeps, it could upset. The WGA won't be an indicator ("The Artist" was ineligible there). Everything else should be happy to settle for the nomination and now voting stretches beyond the writer's branch, "A Separation" will probably struggle, while we can't see many voters going for "Bridesmaids" when "classier" alternatives exist.
Best Adapted Screenplay
1. Steve Zaillian & Aaron Sorkin – "Moneyball"
2. Jim Rash, Nat Faxon, Alexander Payne – "The Descendants"
3. Peter Straughan & Bridget O'Connor – "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"
4. John Logan – "Hugo"
5. George Clooney, Grant Heslov, Beau Willimon – "The Ides Of March"
For all intents and purposes, it's a two-horse race between "Moneyball" and "The Descendants," and we're going to give the edge to the former for the moment, despite Sorkin being the defending champion (no writer has won twice in a row in the category since Robert Bolt in 1965 and 1966 for "Doctor Zhivago" and "A Man For All Seasons") because it's a trickier adaptation, and a zingier film. But "The Descendants" is firmly within the category's wheelhouse — family, jokes, hugging — and Payne's also a previous victor. "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" is the dark horse to watch, particularly as we don't see either "Hugo" or "The Ides of March" being real contenders.
Best Supporting Actor
1. Christopher Plummer – "Beginners"
2. Max Von Sydow – "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"
3. Kenneth Branagh – "My Week With Marilyn"
4. Nick Nolte – "Warrior"
5. Jonah Hill – "Moneyball"
Let's face it, this one has been wrapped up for months, with Plummer winning basically everything (as snubbed hopeful Albert Brooks tweeted, Oscar nomination morning was when he'd find out if he "got to go to any more events that Christopher Plummer wins"), including the SAG last night. That being said, the SAG match up less often in the category with the Oscars, and Max Von Sydow's nomination makes things a little more interesting — a veteran actor (six months older that Plummer; if either wins, they'd be the oldest ever Oscar-winning actor/actress) who's never won a statue, the same narrative that's seen Plummer rise to the top (interesting to note: Plummer replaced von Sydow in "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" when the latter dropped out to do 'Extremely Loud'). Plummer's film is much better liked, and he's still 98% certain to win, but Von Sydow's film is a Best Picture nominee, so for the first time, he could be real competition.
Best Supporting Actress
1. Octavia Spencer – "The Help"
2. Berenice Bejo – "The Artist"
3. Jessica Chastain – "The Help"
4. Melissa McCarthy – "Bridesmaids"
5. Janet McTeer – "Albert Nobbs"
Our mantra from the last few weeks remains true here: Spencer's got the advantage, but it's entirely possible that the votes for "The Help" gets split (don't forget, early in the season, Chastain looked like the frontrunner), and Bejo steps in as a result. Had Bejo (or even Chastain) won with the guild last night, this could have become much more interesting but as it is, Spencer's cemented as the runaway front-runner.
Best Actor
1. Jean Dujardin – "The Artist"
2. George Clooney – "The Descendants"
3. Gary Oldman – "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"
4. Brad Pitt – "Moneyball"
5. Demian Bichir – "A Better Life"
In one of the few races that remains open at this point, Clooney had the advantage for a long time, but Dujardin's Globes speech saw his arrival as a presence, and we'd say his SAG win makes him the best bet right now. After all, Oscar have followed the guild nine times out of the last ten (Johnny Depp for the original "Pirates of the Caribbean" being the last deviation). But Clooney has never won at the SAG, and the Academy are bigger fans, so things could still be in play. It's certainly only between the two of them at this point; some have Pitt still in contention, but we'd actually argue that Oldman might take precedence. While neither have won, there's a feeling that the Brit is overdue, while Pitt likely has his best work ahead of him. But it's all moot, because neither stand much chance of beating Clooney or Dujardin to the big prize.
Best Actress
1. Viola Davis – "The Help"
2. Meryl Streep – "The Iron Lady"
3. Michelle Williams – "My Week With Marilyn"
4. Glenn Close – "Albert Nobbs"
5. Rooney Mara – "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"
First things first: neither Close or Mara have a hope. Other than that, it's a three horse race, but one that Davis is leading (and we're puzzled by those who thought before the SAGs that Streep was leading; Davis has been front-runner for weeks now) as her film is a Best Picture nominee, while "The Iron Lady" and "My Week With Marilyn" only have one other nomination each, and aren't particularly beloved by anyone. Plus, they split the Weinstein Company's attention between them. Maybe the fact that Streep hasn't won for thirty years, despite thirteen nods in the meantime, wins her a sympathy vote, but we suspect she'll be the bridesmaid again this time round.
Best Director
1. Michel Hazanavicius – "The Artist"
2. Terrence Malick – "The Tree of Life"
3. Martin Scorsese – "Hugo"
4. Alexander Payne – "The Descendants"
5. Woody Allen – "Midnight In Paris"
Before the weekend, this was still wide-open: Hazanavicius was the smart bet, but Scorsese and even Malick could have conceivably cut in, even as "The Artist" swept towards Best Picture. But with the DGA win, we can't see anyone but the Frenchman taking Best Director; only six times in history has the DGA winner failed to win with the Academy (although it's worth noting that two of those are in the last decade). Honoring Scorsese is no longer the priority it once was, thanks to his "The Departed." The only wild card is the non-DGA nominated Malick, who's never won an Oscar, and a Best Picture nomination makes a win that much more feasible. But it would be virtually unprecedented, and with the film being so divisive, we still think he'll probably have to wait for another year.
Best Picture
1. "The Artist"
2. "The Help"
3. "Hugo"
4. "Moneyball"
5. "The Descendants"
6. "The Tree of Life"
7. "Midnight In Paris"
8. "War Horse"
9. "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"
As we've discussed before — this is going to be "The Artist," barring some disaster. The PGA victory set the scene, and a DGA win for Hazanavicius over the weekend (plus Dujardin's acting win) pretty much sealed it. But we guess an upset isn't totally out of the question. The eleven nominations for "Hugo" make it the most obvious threat: while a lack of acting nods makes that trickier, "Slumdog Millionaire" managed it with the same disadvantage only three years back. More crucially, however, it's failed to win anything at any guilds, so a picture win is unlikely. "The Help" has come up in some discussions, particularly after its SAG ensemble win, with some suggesting that it might be the "Crash" to "Brokeback Mountain" (on in this case "The Artist") — an issue driven picture triumphing by surprise over a relatively little seen indie flick. But we think this is misjudged. "The Artist" is a true crowd pleaser, not a button pushing gay drama, and "The Hurt Locker" demonstrated only a few years ago that box office isn't necessarily the crucial factor anymore. Furthermore, let's not forget that "The Help" failed to pick up anything outside its picture and acting nominations — no costume, not even original song. The others should probably all just be happy to be there. Besides that, and maybe we're crazy, but we think "Moneyball" has a better chance than most — six nominations, the third most, from both above and below the line. That being said, in one of the least talked about injustices of the nominations, Bennett Miller missed out on a director nomination (so what, the film directed itself?), and nothing since "Driving Miss Daisy" has won without a director nomination. The others should probably all just be happy to be there; Clooney's SAG loss shows that "The Descendants" doesn't stand a chance in the face of the silent French juggernaut.

Posted on 17 Nov 2010 by Jeremy Frassa.
The Minutemen were able to hold off a late Sacred Heart run to win by the score of 73-65 and improve to 2-0 overall. I'm sure Derek Kellogg was hoping/expecting that his Minutemen would out score the Pioneers by at least 10 points, but unfortunately that was not the case tonight. Both teams started off slow with the two teams combining for six points in the first four minutes of the game. Both ...

UMass came back from a HUGE first half deficit to take down the Rider Brocs 77-67 friday night at the Mullins Center. The game was truly a tale of two halves.

His team posted a record of 24-38 during his first two seasons as head coach. The the inability to properly execute the dribble drive offense has really seemed to hurt the team.

In a piece on how crackpot energy theories ensnare investors and dupe the media, we spotlighted New Jersey-based BlackLight Power. Its claim: It could produce inexhaustible energy from ordinary water by shrinking hydrogen atoms into something called "hydrinos." It didn't make sense, but BlackLight raised $25 million from investors, including utilities PacifiCorp and Conectiv. Morgan Stanley signed on to handle the public offering.
The bubble began bursting in August, when a federal court upheld the Patent Office's revocation of one of BlackLight's patents and the suspension of four others. The Patent Office said BlackLight's submission "did not conform to the known laws of physics and chemistry." No matter. BlackLight reportedly still managed a $5 million private equity placement late last year. This month a chat room called the Hydrino Study Group was abuzz over a purported wirestory saying the National Institute of Standards &Technology validated BlackLight's claims. It hasn't. —Brendan Coffey

Shortly after our story appeared on pharmaceutical companies' battle against drug knockoffs, generic makers won a round in federal court. Mylan Laboratories, which makes a generic form of Bristol-Myers Squibb's popular antianxiety drug BuSpar, challenged a new patent on how the drug is digested. The patent would have extended BMS' protection from generics for 30 months. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the digestive process Bristol-Myers patented shouldn't preclude a generic version of the drug. Generic BuSpar was shipped days later, and Watson Pharmaceuticals has filed an antitrust suit against Bristol-Myers. —Victoria Murphy

Symbol Technologies' newly released 2000 annual report shows we were right last issue when we reported that the Holtsville, N.Y. bar-code scanning company was managing its earnings through huge one-time charges and piggy-bank reserves. The company's own numbers show even fatter charges, many related to Symbol's dubious acquisition of Telxon, which we guessed was the reason for the weird accounting. The report also reveals that the Securities & Exchange Commission initiated an insider-trading enforcement action against Telxon. There's more: Proxim, a competitor, is suing Symbol for patent infringement. —Elizabeth MacDonald

Chief Digital Officers (CDOs) are being hired by large organizations to implement effective services using all appropriate digital technology. The CDO is to insert digital technology solutions using the resources of the organization as quickly and effectively as possible. The perception is that digital technology will give large corporations a competitive edge if done in a very short timeframe.
How did the CDO position emerge? What are the CDO responsibilities and why are large corporations seeking CDOs to innovate, transform, and deliver digital technology solutions for their organizations? Why aren't CIOs leading the way to delivering ROI for large corporations? Are there no functioning partnerships between Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) and Chief Information Officers (CIOs)? So many questions about the CDO!
First, let's look at some common identified responsibilities of the CDO:
But, aren't these responsibilities in the CIO and CMO positions? CMOs market an organization's products and services. In a cohesive marketing strategy, the information and materials prepared by marketing are used up, down and across the organization in addition to the outward reach to customers, existing and potential. CMOs manage the whole marketing process from vision through customer delivery.
CIOs manage the IT services and IT deliveries using IT solutions that ensure IT logistics are premier for the organization's products, services, customers (including prospects), and employees. Measurement of premier IT service delivery, efficiency improvement, application delivery, performance improvement, business performance improvement, and market performance are included. With the CIO at the executive (CXO) table, the IT strategy services functional business areas in alignment with the organization's mission, vision, and overarching strategy and tactics.
So, why the need for the CDO?
If CIOs are at the CXO table and involving the CXO lines of business, then the CIOs are anticipating and prototyping the next generation of IT tactics. But, if the CIO is viewed merely as a cost center and not as a revenue producer, then the CIO position has been limited as a service provider to lines of business. Given a narrow definition of the CIO position, large corporations have no choice but to consider a CDO since, unfortunately, the organizations have limited the consideration of the effective use of IT. But the large corporations who have anticipated business needs and view IT as a strategic asset have CIOs who encompass CDO responsibilities at the CXO table and these CIOs are equipped to rapidly respond to competitive opportunities.
For organizations that have a proactive CIO, CMO and other CXOs that regularly communicate across all levels of need (strategic vision, tactical vision, resource constraints, priorities, etc.), this is a forward thinking organization that can effectively use IT in the digital technology world and may not need the services of a dedicated CDO.
Communications have a life cycle that permeates the organization with CXOs being astute to pick up on applicable ideas and share them with their peers. Informal and formal communications among peers can vet ideas and build salient points for broader CXO discussions. Here is where the transformational components originate. Here is where CXO partnerships on concepts and ideas grow and evolve to a potential strategy or business direction. Here is where the CMO and CIO partnership can catapult an organization into the effective use of digital technology! (See " Is a CDO Equal to a Set of Common CMO and CIO Responsibilities?" for more in-depth information on the CMO and CIO partnership.) What better way to bring forward a transformational product or service than with CXO partnerships?!
Digital technology is moving at a rapid pace and organizations must keep momentum or lose opportunities to keep or obtain customers for their products and services. The life cycle of new digital technology is very short. So swift is the digital technology movement that organizations cannot keep pace with the shift from traditional market processes to include digital technology. Already, there are firms operating in the digital world without any physical locations – Amazon comes to mind along with Netflix and a host of others. Businesses and other organizations MUST keep pace with the digital transformation that is impacting traditional business practices!
The CDO responsibilities exist whether it is a separate CDO role or part of the CMO and CIO roles. The important point is that the CXOs recognize the strategic asset they have in IT, see the immediate need for IT tactics, and appropriately assign resources to accomplish the projects to deliver digital technology as a viable operational component.

The 5 Prices a Leader Must Be Willing to Pay
Jesus gave some INCREDIBLE advice in Luke 14:28-30! We will dive into five areas where we need to be willing to pay the price as a leader.
#1 – There is a Financial Cost – Books cost money. Conferences cost money. Putting yourself in a position to be stretched and grown cost money. AND one of the qualities that I've always noticed in leaders who were "getting it done" is that they were personally willing to pay a financial price. (I actually wrote two posts on this last week–here is part one and here is part two in case you missed them.)
#2 – There Is An Emotional Cost – Leading in the church is one of the most emotionally draining things you will EVER do. You will discover that you can go from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows with one email or phone call. Your heart and motives will be called into question. Critics who don't know you (nor do they want to know you) will malign, misrepresent and attack you. On most days you will feel overwhelmed and unworthy of your calling…and all of this requires that we be willing to pay the price emotionally.
#3 – There is a Physical Cost – Laziness and leadership do NOT go hand in hand. It takes blood, sweat and tears in order to be developed to your fullest leadership potential…which means you get your butt out of bed and go to work! And yes, REST is essential…but it isn't possible to burn out if you've never actually been on fire. There are seasons where lots of time, energy and focus is demanded-period.
#4 – There is a Spiritual Cost – The more influential you become as a leader the greater the intensity of spiritual attack on your life.
(BTW…I've had shots taken at me for saying this, but it's true. I've experienced it personally…and in the Scriptures we see in Acts 19 a demon literally having a conversation with seven guys…he tells them he knows Jesus and has heard about Paul, probably because he was causing such a disturbance, but then tells the guys he hadn't even heard about them!!! Like it or not…the enemy doesn't pursue everyone with the same intensity.)
You will experience spiritual warfare. You will encounter temptation on a level that is greater than anything you could imagine. You have to be willing to fight the fight and pay the price if you want to be a godly leader.
#5 – There is a Personal Cost – All of the things listed above comes around to this…there IS a personal cost when it comes to leadership. It will NEVER cease to effect you. Jesus knew this when He was in the garden and yet still fully surrendered to the Father and went to the cross.
Galatians 6:9 is a promise we should take to heart as leaders. Do not give up…do not throw in the towel. At times the price is incredibly high…but none of us have been asked to pay the price that the ONE we say we follow had to pay! His assignment was MUCH tougher than ours…and it brought Him joy to fulfill it.
So…let's keep our eyes on Jesus and keep doing exactly what He has called us to do, knowing that He is with us, has equipped us, empowered us and that II Corinthians 4:7 is as true today as it was when Paul wrote it!

At one point, over at Inside Corner (RIP), I spent Thursdays "Analyzing the Enemy" and that has been somewhat tabled for now. I could give you a long list of explanations, but the truth is that I have to prioritize a bit better this time of year, and when I have to choose 2 of the following 3 (Mavs Game, Stars Game, Cowboys Blog) on a Wednesday night, I still have to pick the two that most affect the radio show and the paying gigs in my life. So, since this is a charitable venture, the Cowboys Blog suffers.
With Christmas coming (last radio show today) and travels that go with it, I will assure you that Monday (The Morning After), Tuesday (Football 301), and Friday (Game Plan), will always appear even when I am not in town. Otherwise, though, the next week or two will not have too much on Wednesday or Thursday (aside from the statistical projects).
So, my upcoming holiday schedule on this blog:
Fri, 12/18: Saints Game Plan
Sun, 12/20: The Morning After Saints v Cowboys
Mon, 12/21: Football 301
Fri, 12/25: Redskins Game Plan
Mon, 12/28: The Morning After Redskins v Cowboys
Tue, 12/29: Football 301
Fri, 1/1: Eagles Game Plan
Mon, 1/4: The Morning After Eagles v Cowboys
Tue, 1/5: Football 301
Oh, What a Day

I know that macbeth is a ragic hero. But how does he show it, I would go and watch the play but its pointless since the essay am doing is not completely focused on it.
You could always find a summary on the web, if you're not willing to read or watch the play. But, that's just laziness in my opinion. Immerse yourself, learn and enjoy the self-improvement. :)
If it is pointless for you to waste your oh so precious time watching a video of the play... or worse yet, actually reading the play... as you obviously have far more important things to do such as play Angry Birds, browse through Facebook for the latest juicy gossip, and download YouTube videos of Lady Gaga, what makes you think that the people here who actually find reading to be something more than "pointless" will not find it pointless to do your homework for you?
Ok I've just spent my Easter Sunday reading Macbeth. At first I would ask myself the same question because it is easy to say 'what a treacherous bastard!' but then one considers with what reverence he was held and the other characters involved that influenced Macbeth. Lady Macbeth, the witches, perhaps even Banquo. His own knowledge of his treachery and his self-recrimination for such a foul deed are compelling and one can even pity him, even when the ghostly hauntings of his betrayed friend appear before him. His tragedy is furthered by having no choice but to secure his ill-gotten position as king by committing other deeds unbecoming of the hero that he was until ultimately, he pays the price for all that he has done.
That is my understanding of why Macbeth is a tragic hero.
Does anyone care to comment? I've finally submitted to Shakespeare and agreed to read his works and want to make sure I'm on the right track so I dug this old thread up and would appreciate any feedback.
I agree with your analysis. When people refer to him as a "tragic hero," a term I try to avoid, it is due to the lack of control he seems to have over his own actions. Like the tragic figures of ancient Greek drama, Macbeth is a noble figure brought down by greater forces.
However. This is not my personal view of Macbeth. I do not see him as a tragic hero. Shakespeare wrote this play during the reign of King James I, a man who claimed banquo as his ancestors, hence the witchws' prophecy to him. Why would Shakespeare glorify the man who murdered the king's ancestor? As a literary figure Macbeth is closer to Richard III or Brutus: we sympathize and even like them untill they achieve their goals partway through the play (act 2 for Macbeth). Then these characters no longer needing our love turn away from us, and we watch them fall from a distance. Look at the scene where Macbeth dies: the focus is turned o Young Seyward and then macbeth's head is brought in. This is not a hero's death.
For my more complete analysis of the play, see http://drowningmybooks.wordpress.com...02/19/macbeth/
Macbeth begins as hero and, no matter how low he sinks, there is always a remnant of heroism is his bearing and manner. This remnant is a nagging reminder of the tragic outcomes of succumbing to grave temptation.
It is said of the Macbeths that their marriage had been happier than any in Shakespeare. And while Macbeth's behaviour is way more vile than King Lear's or Othello's, his end is equally tragic: all three are great men sadly flawed.

The Council for Exceptional Children released a document providing guidance for identifying evidence-based practices in special education on 23 January 2014. Developed by a work group composed of leaders from the Division for Research—Bryan Cook (chair), Viriginia Buysse, Janette Klingner, Tim Landrum, Robin McWilliam, Melody Tankersley, and Dave Test—and aimed at serving groups or individuals who understand educational research design and methods, the standards provide a means for categorizing practices as (a) evidence-based, (b) potentially evidence-based, (c) mixed evidence, (d) insufficient evidence, or (e) negative evidence. To make these determinations, groups or individuals will need to apply quality indicators, which the document also identifies to studies, to ascertain the extent to which individual studies are methodologically sound.
Hats off to these folks for this work and to CEC for supporting it. There are many things to like here, and not the least of them is that the standards cover the full spectrum of possible outcomes, including negative evidence. Now comes the demanding task of applying them to bodies of literature, and letting the chips fall where they may.
Download your own copy of the standards from the CEC Website and read the CEC press release about the standards.

The county is named after "Tennessee state legislator Edward Cheatham."[3]
Cumberland (old) County, the ancestor of Cheatham County, started to get organized in 1837 from parts of Davidson, Robertson, Montgomery, and Dickson counties, but failed. Again in 1844 the another attempt at a county was made, but failed. A third try in 1856 finally succeeded in erecting Cumberland (old) County.[4]
But this act of creation was repealed, the boudaries were changed, and in 1857 the reconstituted entity was renamed Cheatham County because the Cumberland County name had been claimed later in 1856 by a new county on the Cumberland Plateau with its seat at Crossville.[4]
Middle Tennessee county established in 1856. The northern part of what is now Cheatham County belonged to the pioneer Cumberland Settlements.[5]
Parent County
1856--Cheatham County was created 28 February 1856 from Davidson, Robertson, Dickson, and Montgomery Counties.
County seat: Ashland City[6]
From 1788 to 1796 people living in what is now part of Cheatham County were in extinct Tennessee County. Their records for that period are now found in Robertson County, Tennessee.[7]

If you had to pick a charity to donate to right now, raise your hand if you would give your money to … Stephen Baldwin.
Is your hand up? Yeah, we didn't think so. And perhaps that's why "The Restoration of Stephen Baldwin" campaign is still under the $100 mark since its launch four months ago.
]]>Lyn Fletcher, aims to restore Baldwin's personal wealth and Hollywood influence. Why? The Q & A
section of the site says, "In March of 08 I saw Stephen speak boldly
for Christ on Trumps Celebrity Apprentice Show. Then in Aug 09 I saw
Stephen and God being laughed at for his bankruptcy."
became a born-again Christian after 9/11, and the site attributes his
plummeting income (down by 70%, according to the site) to around this
time when he "refused roles with gratuitous sex and violence."
in order to make Baldwin into a respected member of Hollywood circles,
the mastermind behind the campaign wants to restore Baldwin's dwindling
bank account, namely because, "Hollywood worships money and without it
you are seen as a loser and cannot be an effective influence to this
Yep, seriously, that's what the site says.
Baldwin does not have anything to do with the site directly, his
spiritual advisor (now President of Stephen's ministries), Daniel Southern, gave the "Restore" campaign written permission to build the site.
the best part of the whole stranger-than-fiction storyline is the video
created to help "restore" Baldwin, which plays like some kind of
bizarre "SNL" parody. But it's the real deal, folks.
Watch it and tell us what you think. Does it have you rushing to pull out your wallet?

not much thought put into this one, more of an experiment with my new markers :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
this is awsome i like how you made one side dark and the other light .
Rated 5 / 5 stars
For an experiment, this is awesome! The left side of the face gives me the impression of a cracked porcelain doll, and the smile just gives me the creeps. Also, the lack of arms makes this look like a twisted, disturbed bust (one that i would DEFINITELY put on my mantle). The warm/cool colors of the face and neck stand out so beautifully from the emptiness of the rest of the picture. Overall, I think its awesome and i still believe that experiments are the birth of greatness. One of my top faves from you.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Your average is one of the best in NewGrounds
Though, what markers are you using?
haha thanks!
I'm using ''Promarkers'' if that's any help. Google it, the company's name is Letraset.

Some of France's top sporting stars have lent their support to the two French journalists being held in Afghanistan.
It's now 268 days since Hervé Ghesquière and Stéphane Taponier were kidnapped in Afghanistan.
The two men, staff journalists for the French public television station France 3, were taken captive, along with three Afghan colleagues - Mohammed Reza, Ghulam and Satar - as they were travelling in Afghanistan's Kapisa province around 120 kilometres northeast of the capital Kabul.
That was back on December 29, 2009.
Although their plight might not be making the news headlines, it's certainly one that is not being forgotten and is in fact covered in every news broadcast on national public television in France.
At the end of every bulletin there's a reminder as to how long to the two men have been held and a thought shared by the presenter with the men and their families.
And this week a number of France's top sporting personalities - past and present - also lent their support to the campaign for the two men in a video clip broadcast on France 3 among them, Olympic gold medallist in canoëing Tony Estanguet, a member of France's 1998 World Cup winning team Emmanuel Petit and the captain of the national handball team, Jérôme Fernandez.
There is also an online petition and you can follow the link to sign.

And lest people might forget about the two men, there's also an Internet site charting activities and reminding us all as to just how long they've been held.

El Fracaso Bar
701 N. Harbor Blvd.
Santa Ana, CA 92703-2756
Santa Ana, CA 92703-2756
El Fracaso is a bar in Santa Ana. It's is a legendary bar in Mexican OC--for that name, right, but also because it's a no-drama type of place, where working men can unwind without having to worry about narcos or mayhem. The typical uniform here is a grease-, paint- or concrete-flecked T-shirt emblazoned with a company name. The cars out front in the tiny parking lot don't stray far from a pickup truck outfitted with racks that contain the tools of their owner's trade: gardening tools, wooden planks, rebar. The women bartenders lord over the room on an elevated walkway behind the bar, the easier to fetch beers from the multiple coolers and titillate the clientele with their chichis and nalgas à la Coyote Ugly. If El Fracaso ("The Failure," in Spanish) is failure, then we should all be so lucky.

Every baseball team loses, but that doesn't mean the Northwest Colorado Lynx has to expect -- or accept -- it, coach Shane Camilletti said.
And perhaps the most important tool the Lynx coaches have given their 10-and-younger team is that regardless of the competition, baseball players from Northwest Colorado are capable of winning every time.
Thursday, the Lynx went 1-1 in the opening day of pool play in the Triple Crown Division I World Series, falling 13-11 to the Green Mountain Rams of Lakewood before defeating the Riverton Silverwolves of Riverton, Utah, 14-8.
The Rams are ranked 7th in the nation according to www.usasportsrankings.com.
The Lynx -- made up of young ballplayers from Steamboat, Yampa, Hayden, Craig and Meeker -- have had previous success at the Division 2 level in Colorado, but picking up a victory and coming close in another was an impressive first day of Division I action.
"This is huge," Camilletti said. "They've exceeded my expectations."
The team's success came despite relatively little practice time.
A core group of the Northwest Colorado team has been together since early summer, but three Steamboat players, Charles Wood, Isiah Forsyth and Alan Capistron, along with Alex Estes of Yampa, were added several weeks ago.
Craig's Louie Neil said all members of the team have practiced together once or twice, but all four newcomers have been a great addition.
"Baseball is easier now," Neil said. "We all want to win."
In Thursday's second game it didn't appear that way initially, as the Lynx surrendered five runs in the bottom of the first after scoring five in the top half.
The Silverwolves maintained their lead through two before Graig Medvesk's two-run single broke the tie, and then Forsyth's two-run triple with two outs gave the Lynx some cushion in the wind and rain.
"That was exciting," Forsyth said. "We kept our heads up and played well."
Camilletti said close games used to be a problem for the Lynx. Now, the team has confidence even when trailing, which was important Thursday.
"This summer has been a lot of fun," Ben Fulton of Hayden said. "We're getting a lot better. The coaches have told us 'don't lose confidence and try hard,' even if we're behind by a lot."
Pool play concludes for the Lynx today against the Tulsa (Okla.) Lookouts at Steamboat's Ski Town South Field.

Old Weather—part of the Zooniverse network of citizen science projects—seeks to gather and study information from ship's logs as a means of better understanding historical weather patterns worldwide. The goal isn't to prove or disprove global warming but rather to gather information about historical weather variability in an effort to improve the ability to predict weather and climate in the future.
Over the past several centuries, ships have traveled around the world on voyages of exploration and trade, often recording accurate weather observations along the way. (In fact, it was an offense to falsify a log.) Of course, until recently ships' logs were hand written and kept in disparate locations. Logbooks are difficult for a computer to analyze accurately, so the Old Weather project relies on citizen scientists to analyze scanned log pages and input the data appearing on each page.
For example, one of the major areas of interest to Old Weather are log books from the English East India company in the period from the 1780s to the 1830s. About half of the logbooks that exist in the British library for those ships that trade between the UK and India or China have instrumental measurements Old Weather's organizers would like to record.
Old Weather citizen scientists visit the project's home page, log in (see below), choose a ship and get started. Participants are assigned rank based upon the amount of data they input, all the way up to Captain. (It takes 30 weather reports more for promotion to Lieutenant, to give you some idea of how it works.)
Old Weather's organizers cross-check the data that is entered to catch as many errors or inconsistencies as possible.
Old Weather
To better understand how weather will behave in the future, researchers need to understand how weather has behaved in the past
Project Details
- Principal Scientist: Philip Brohan, Climate Scientist
- Scientist Affiliation: Met Office (UK's national weather service)
- Dates: Ongoing
- PROJECT TYPE: Data Processing
- COST: Free
- GRADE LEVEL: All Ages
- TIME COMMITMENT: Variable
The first step is to create an account with Zoonivers (or log in to your existing account). Once you are logged in, you can select from any number of ships and start examining its logs. Once you're on the logbook page, the first task is to find the date, next is location, and so on.
