COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Following a report by well-known journalist and blogger Jim Romenesko, Columbia's daily newspaper has decided it's time to allow columnist Ron Morris to once again write about the Gamecocks.
Romenesko reports The State's executive editor sent a memo to the newspaper's staff outlining the situation with Morris.
"Mark Lett, executive editor of McClatchy's The State in Columbia SC, tells his staff that 'no subject or individual is off limits for examination' by sports columnist Ron Morris and other columnists at the paper," writes Romenesko.
"The editor says Morris was 'asked …to focus first on coverage other than the USC football program.' That's not quite right; Morris was ordered by publisher Henry Haitz III to sign a document pledging that he would never again write about University of South Carolina football — or talk about the program on radio and TV shows. My sources say Morris was told he'd be fired if he did.

Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Rolls-Royce make great cars, but what if you're tired of these usual suspects of automotive excellence?
In the first part of this series, we took a look at the most awesome, yet obscure, cars from the United States and Canada. In Part Two, we'll focus on the boutique carmakers of Europe.
Zenvo Automotive: Denmark has virtually no car history, but that just meant the designers of the Zenvo ST1 had a blank slate to work from, with no precedent to impede their creativity.
While most designers emphasize aerodynamics in order to achieve the highest top speed, Zenvo's Jesper Jensen wanted to focus on how the ST1 would actually look. It may not have the slipperiest shape, but this Danish supercar really looks super.
Not that the ST1 isn't fast. It will do 0 to 62 mph (0-100 kph) in under three seconds, and reach a top speed of 233 mph. That is the result of pairing a carbon fiber body (draped over a steel tube frame chassis) with a very powerful engine.
Like the car's exterior, the ST1's engine was a clean-sheet design. The 7.0-liter V8 is loosely based on a Chevy small block, but Zenvo constructs the entire powerplant in house. It uses both a supercharger and a turbocharger to produce 1,100 hp and 1,053 lb-ft of torque.
What about the name? Many car companies use their founders' last names, or the moniker of a distinguished predecessor. Not Zenvo: the name just sounded cool, no matter the language. This Danish company clearly isn't stifled by tradition, and the results speak for themselves.
Noble Automotive: Lee Noble set up shop in the north of England in 1999 to build a world-beating car. That car, the M12, looked like it was built from a kit and had a Ford Duratec V6 engine from a Contour, but it still accomplished its mission.
The M12 and subsequent variants were fast and sure-footed, but Noble decided to move upmarket. The M15 was meant to compete against "entry level" supercars like the Porsche 911 Turbo, but not having a flashy badge made that difficult. Instead of giving up, Noble redoubled its efforts.
The new M600 still isn't much to look at, but it is incredibly fast. It can accelerate to 62 mph in 3.0 seconds, and reach a top speed of 225 mph. That speed is achieved thanks to a 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 which, interestingly, is based on the mill Volvo uses in the XC90 and S80. However, unlike any Volvo, the Noble has 650 hp and 604 lb-ft of torque.
The M600 is also much harder to drive than a Volvo. Unlike a Ferrari, its onboard computers will not erase a driver's lack of skill. However, the engine can be muzzled with a 450 hp "Road" mode for getting its pilot to the track without crashing.
Ariel Motor Company: One look at the Ariel Atom explains why it could never be built by a mainstream manufacturer. Most carmakers emphasize lightness, but none of them are as fanatical about it as Britain's Ariel Motor Company.
The Atom is more like a four-wheeled motorcycle than a car. The driver sits in a skeleton chassis and can watch the steering and suspension work from behind the wheel. They never have to guess how far away they are from the curb.
Consequently, the Atom only weighs 1,350 pounds; a Scion iQ weighs 2,127 pounds. With a 2.4-liter Honda inline-four, the Atom can accelerate to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, and reach a top speed of 155 mph.
The madness doesn't stop there, though. The Atom 500 is powered by a 3.0-liter V8 (actually two Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle engines joined at the crank) with 500 hp. This atomic Atom can do 0 to 60 mph in "under 2.3 seconds," according to Ariel.
Caparo Vehicle Technologies: If the Atom barely qualifies as a car, the equally absurd, and equally British Caparo T1 is a meta car. It's supposed to be a roadgoing Formula 1 racer, and it takes everything to a new level.
Like a Formula 1 car, the Caparo has a pointy nose, tall rear wing, and a ferocious, mid-mounted engine that breathes through a snorkel above the driver's head. Unlike any F1 car, though, it also has fenders and lights, so it is street legal in the U.K.
Power comes from a 3.5-liter V8, with 610 hp and 310 lb-ft. The small displacement means the T1 is not a torque monster, but the engine's inclination to rev to 10,000 rpm is more in the spirit of a racing powerplant.
Since it isn't encumbered by much bodywork, the Caparo only weighs about 1,035 pounds. That gives it double the power-to-weight ratio of a Bugatti Veyron. It also allows this winged wonder to hit 62 mph in 2.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 205 mph.
Racecars aren't all about straight line speed, though.The Caparo mimics an F1 car's shape because that maximizes downforce, which keeps the car planted through corners. Caparo says that, at 150 mph, the T1 generates enough downforce to stick to the roof of a tunnel while driving upside down.
Spyker Cars: This Dutch company made headlines trying to resuscitate Saab in an unsuccessful bid to go mainstream. Now Spyker, named after a manufacturer of cars and airplanes that went bust in 1926, is back to doing what it does best: building zany sports cars.
Since 1999, Spyker has refined its C8, a baroque supercar with the body of a Steampunk airship and the heart of an Audi R8.
Actually, that V8 doesn't have the Audi supercar's direct injection, but its displaces the same 4.2 liters. It produces 400 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque.
The newest version is called the C8 Aileron and is available in hardtop or Spyder body styles. The main difference between the Aileron and the original C8 Laviolette is its longer wheelbase, which was needed to accommodate a six-speed automatic transmission.
The Spyker is more about style than performance. Yes, it's fast, but its distinguishing feature is the way it does things. The exterior only hints at a decidedly baroque interior: everything is either chromed or engine-turned, and shifting is facilitated by exposed linkage that's been beautifully polished.

Occasionally someone executes a bit of code that causes you to do a database restore—for example, if someone inadvertently drops a production table or forgets the WHERE clause in a DELETE query. As a result, you need to restore to a point in time just before the offending code executed.
Recovery is the set of operations that makes a database consistent at startup. To restore to a point in time, you must be using either full or bulk-logged recovery. The simple recovery model causes the transaction log to be truncated on checkpoint, with no redo-undo recovery and no way to restore to a point in time.
The goal of recovery and "roll forward/roll back" is to restore the data to its original state at the recovery point, which is a user-specified point in time, a named transaction, or a log sequence number. The bulk-logged recovery model has one additional limitation: You can perform a point-in-time recovery only if you haven't performed any bulk operations since the previous log backup. In other words, to recover to a point in time, you must have an unbroken sequence of log files.
The recovery point in time will be within a transaction log backup. When restoring this log, you can recover transactions that came before your point in time by specifying the recovery point in a STOPAT, STOPATMARK, or STOPBEFOREMARK clause.
When restoring a database to a point in time, perform a full backup with the NORECOVERY option, as follows:
RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks
FROM DISK = 'E:\SQLdata\BACKUPS\AdventureWorks_FullDbBkup.bak'
Then, apply each of the transaction log backups with the RECOVERY option, specifying the point-in-time date and time on each RESTORE LOG statement, as follows:
RESTORE LOG AdventureWorks
FROM DISK = 'E:\SQLdata\BACKUPS\AdventureWorks_TlogBkup.bak'
WITH RECOVERY, STOPAT = ' Dec 10, 2007 8:10 PM'

Dartmouth-Hitchcock earns national hospital design honorBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
March 26. 2014 10:08PM
LEBANON — Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center was honored last week for its innovative and modern hospital design.
The American College of Healthcare Architects named Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center one of two recipients of its inaugural Legacy Project Awards presented in Orlando, Fla., on March 18 at the American Society of Healthcare Engineers Planning, Design, and Construction Summit.
The Legacy Project Award is the first award of its kind, celebrating design innovation that endures throughout the life of a healthcare project.In giving the award, the American College of Healthcare Architects said Dartmouth Hitchcock represents a paradigm shift in hospital design, incorporating and foretelling some of the most significant healthcare delivery and design issues of the past 25 years. For creating a family-friendly campus that maximizes daylight and nature views in a mall configuration that connects clinical care, research, and education.
The Boston-based, national design practice Shepley Bulfinch — which completed Dartmouth-Hitchcock's 1.2 million square foot medical center in Lebanon in 1991 — was also honored at the awards. The initial 1991 construction created an integrated campus of clinical, academic and research facilities in a way that would make it flexible and adaptable over time.
"This is a place where great health care happens, but in a place that's really warm and inviting, personal, and caring," Susan Reeves, vice president at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, said in the announcement Tuesday. "That has been true from the day we opened until today. We still have patients and families walk in for the first time who say that it doesn't feel at all like they're coming into a medical center, and that's the effect we wanted."
The campus has since doubled in size through a series of projects, mostly by Shepley Bulfinch, that have added research, clinical and administrative space.

The agent for restricted free agents Blake Wheeler and Mark Stuart, Matt Keator, confirmed that the winger has filed for salary arbitration but the defenseman has not.
"I think we're close enough to a deal, a one-year deal, that we decided not to file," Keator said of his talks on a new contract for Stuart. "We'll see where that goes."
UPDATE: Newly acquired forward Gregory Campbell was also among the 31 players to file for arbitration.
Keator said he filed for arbitration on Wheeler's behalf because the talks with general manager Peter Chiarelli have been of more of a preliminary nature.
"I think we'll talk more in the next couple weeks. Hopefully we'll avoid that process," Keator said.
The Bruins, by my count, have only gone to arbitration once in the Chiarelli era (Andrew Alberts) and have avoided it with Dennis Wideman and Matt Hunwick in the last couple summers.

Flanagan reads riot act on police IT
Take him down the cells. But I just closed Excel, sarge
The Flanagan Review of Policing calls for an end to the piecemeal approach to new technology adopted by the British police. The report looks likely to be accepted in broad terms by the Home Office. A Green Paper later this spring is likely to introduce many of his proposals.
Although Chief Inspector of Constabulary Ronnie Flanagan did look at police technology, the big change will come with the National Police Improving Agency report, due in May. The NPIA is looking at police use of new tech, making systems more compatible and introducing standard processes.
Flanagan outlines some of the problems with police use of technology. Firstly, lack of cooperation between the 43 different forces means that technology trials are often needlessly duplicated in different areas. It costs the police between £3,000 and £6,500 to equip an officer with mobile IT equipment over five years - a cost which could be reduced if forces worked together.
Without a central organising group, or individual, there is little strategic thinking in police technology use. Flanagan notes: "For instance, new databases are constantly being introduced, none of which currently link across forces. As a result some 70 per cent of information is entered into police systems more than once."
The police must "act corporately" to get actual benefits from technology. But Flanagan has no doubt that new technology can help - he cites one force's pilot with PDAs, which saved each frontline officer 51 minutes per shift. But he warns: "Adopting disparate IT solutions across 43 forces is a potentially huge loss of opportunity and is only likely to further complicate the range of processes and systems currently operating service wide." Flanagan used the Airwave radio project as an example of a project which was resisted by the police.
The Review calls for the Government to include some kind of regional or inter-force cooperation on buying and setting up new hardware in its Green Paper. This, coupled with more standardised processes across police forces, would reduce paperwork and time wasted.
A united approach would not only make implementing new technology easier; it would also ensure that police get the most out of it. Using the example of body camera footage, Flanagan says if it does really work then it should replace police notebooks. But such a move would require changes from the rest of the justice system - so again the police need to "act corporately" to get other agencies to support them. The review warns that the structure of the police force is the biggest barrier to reducing bureaucracy.
Flanagan is also supportive of one of the wilder uses of technology - camera-cops. Plymouth trialled the use of video cameras in police helmets in 2006, and claimed an eight per cent fall in violent crime where the cameras were used and an 18 per cent fall in woundings. The cameras were credited with reducing time spent on paperwork and filing by 22 per cent.
But the review warns that costs and community attitudes need to be considered - the Home Office is spending £3m on a wider trial of helmet-cams.
The review recommends the NPIA should work on standardising processes in different forces as a precursor to introducing new technology- including standards for GIS mapping.
NPIA will also have to do something about recent failures by the police. Last April the plug was pulled on the crime reporting website police.uk because of a lack of crimes being reported. In January the National Offender Management Service (NOMIS), which aimed to link prisons and probation services, was radically downsized to include only prisons.
Last December Justice Secretary Jack Straw announced an investigation of how the courts system update the Police National Computer, after an earlier review found warrants were being withdrawn if defendants failed to turn up at court.
Plans to improve police databases in the wake of the Soham murders have also fizzled out.
Flanagan also called on the Home Office to urgently review the RIPA Codes of Practice. (our story on this is here.)
His report is available here, as a large PDF. ®

THN's standings predictions for 2010/11 season are out
Credit to Lowetide for his article that mentioned this (must give credit where due): the new Hockey News issue is out, complete with predictions for the standings. They predict another bleak year for Edmonton, finishing last.
Agree, or disagree?
I honestly have a tough time seeing a bunch of kids coming in making an impact in year one. But I think the season's success (or lack of) really relies on some factors: Continue reading 'THN's standings predictions for 2010/11 season are out'»

With THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU heading our way, let's dodge the "BOURNE meets INCEPTION" juggernaut by heading back in time —
We have to refer to THE ASSASSINATION BUREAU as a Michael Relph-Basil Dearden film, because although Dearden directed, Relph not only produced as usual, but scripted (from an unfinished Jack London novel) and designed it. Relph's script is a little uneven but serves up some good lines (Oliver Reed's arch-assassin is against war, because "How can we charge our rates with everyone killing each other at a shilling a day?"), and his design is sumptuous, combining with the luscious costumes to serve up an Edwardian Europe, sixties-style, that's nostalgic and colourful and a little bawdy.
Though Dearden heaps largesse on the movie by stuffing the cast with familiar faces, some of whom are true archetypes of British filmmaking in that era — Clive Revill, Roger Delgado, Warren Mitchell, Curt Jurgens, Philippe Noiret (!) with Kenneth Griffith as an excitable Rumanian — but his actually filming is disappointingly dependent on the zoom lens in nearly every scene. The lens flattens the wonderful sets, and fails to create the air of liveliness the film is hankering for. Another excitable Rumanian, editor Teddy Darvas, attempts to add gusto by cutting everything to the bone, adding energy by playing fast and loose with continuity, but his rhythms are sometimes wearisomely repetitive.
Still, there's Oliver Reed, Diana Rigg and Telly Savalas, cast against type as an English press baron. One of cinema's great smokers, Telly here has a long cigarette holder to conjure with, and promptly holds it alongside his big bald head — but vertically, rather than the more traditional horizontal approach (doesn't the ash fall down his sleeve?). Always something fresh with Telly. The screen lost an inventive talent when he switched from cigarettes to lollypops. Best moment, as Curt Jurgens lists the members of European royalty about to assemble below his airship bomb — "Spare me this parade of mediocrity!"
Illustrations of the Bureau's previous triumphs.
Reed and Rigg make an intriguing couple, and there's the possibility of sparks flying due to her character's suffragette politics and Ollie's real-life chauvinism, but the romance, like the main plot, doesn't quite catch fire. The story requires Rigg to slowly lose her principles as she's dragged along on Ollie's comic killing spree, but the necessary beats of this throughline are neglected in favour of local colour and incident.
Still, this is an occasionally bright, always brisk entertainment in the company of charming players, and it evokes not only nostalgia for bomb-hurling anarchists of the early 20th century, but also for swinging 60s all-star romps with more gusto than reason for existing.

How Healthy Is Your County? A New Data Trove Can Tell You
Curious to know which counties are the healthiest—and least so—in every state? How about where your county ranks in terms of smoking and obesity rates, physical inactivity, air pollution, numbers of fast-food restaurants, and other contributors to public health?
The 2012 County Health Rankings report, the third annual, is out today and provides a treasure trove of such data—29 measures in all—for each of the 3,005 counties in the U.S.
The report, which draws on data from the CDC, the Dartmouth Health Atlas, the U.S. Census Bureau and other sources, is user-friendly and free. Information junkies, beware: you can spend hours on this site.
The project, a collaboration of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, aims to help local leaders and residents see not only where they rank on factors that determine health, but also specific ways to improve.
"Our goal is to move the conversation from asking the question, 'Why is my county unhealthy?' to 'What can we do about it?" says Patrick Remington, Associate Dean for Public Health at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
A new section this year, called County Health Roadmaps, suggests specific measures counties can take to improve. For the first time, the program is offering up to six prizes of $25,000 to reward communities that make changes to improve public health.
In many ways, the rankings reflect socioeconomic conditions.
Wealthy counties tend to be healthy, and vice versa. Counties with large urban areas also tend to be healthier than those that are rural, as I wrote about in a Health Journal in July.
But there are exceptions.
Some border counties in Texas, for example, have high rates of poverty and low rates of education, but very long-lived residents.
"Even healthier counties may have high rates of smoking, excessive drinking and high rates of teen birth," says Mr. Remington. "There is still room for improvement, no matter where you live."
Making a community healthier can start with small changes. Chip Johnson, mayor of Hernando, Miss., (population: 6,812) says that as a response to the rankings, his community removed vending machines from city hall and made sure that the local farmers market was located within walking distance of some poorer neighborhoods.
He also challenged local fourth-graders to run a marathon, one mile at a time, with him and the local police captain, and convinced a local bank to donate 37 acres of foreclosed land to make a park.
Mayor Johnson says he looks at the data, in part, as an economic-development tool. (Hernando is in DeSoto County, ranked No. 1 in health outcomes in Mississippi).
"We're seeing that people are very literally moving to our county and our town because they perceive it to be a healthy town. That's the best compliment you can get," he says.

The Power of Movies
Movies fascinate, move us, and fill us with joy. Many of us can quote lines from our favorite movies and many remember the first movie they ever saw.
Movies enthrall children and they often dress up in costumes, act out movies, and pretend to be the superhero, the comedian, or the princess.
Getting the Word Out
Teams can advertise ahead of time by word of mouth or posters hung in the neighborhood. It's possible more parents and children will be interested in attending the screening and will subsequently find out about our Scout Programs.
Bringing Movies to Discovery Scouts
Movie screenings are a great way for parents and their children to bond. Discussing the movie afterward can encourage discussion and create opportunities for parents to share something with their children.
Movie screenings can be done several different ways. Movies can be shown at the meeting location or at a movie theater.
Movies at the Meeting Location
The team should decide how the movies will be screened. If the team decides to show the movie on a movie projector, they can borrow or rent a small white movie screen, or simply show the movie against a white wall meeting.
A video tape or DVD played on a television set is an easy option.
Scouts choose which movie they want to see.
Scouts can pick out where they want to sit. A picnic blanket can be spread out for an indoor picnic or Scouts can sit on pillows or cushions.
Movie Goodies
Popcorn is a classic movie treat. Microwave popcorn is the easiest to make if a microwave is on site. Scouts can easily place the popcorn in the microwave and push the button. Scouts will have FUN counting down the time on the clock.
Popcorn is FUN to make on the stove also. Popcorn and oil are place on the stove and the pot should be shaken back and forth. Scouts can shake the pot with supervision. A variety of seasoning can be provided. Most grocery stores have easy to shake seasonings for popcorn such as cheddar cheese and kettle corn flavors. A variety of flavors can be made so Scouts can have a choice and share.
Other healthy alternatives are carrot sticks, fruit, and granola bars.
Going to the Movies
If Scouts and parents are going to a movie at a movie theater, call ahead. If you have a group that wants to attend the movie at a certain time, but the movie is not showing them, you can ask the theater if they will play the movie at another time. If you have a large group, they may agree, particularly if it is a slow times such as midmorning on afternoon on a weekday.
Many theaters also have special screenings for those with babies or small children. Again, Scouts choose the movie they want to see.
We do not advocate spending a lot of money on food at the theater, however popcorn, drinks, and candy can be purchased there.
Going to the theater need not cost a lot. Although food, such as popcorn, can be purchased from the concession stand, some theaters permit bringing in your own foods. Healthy alternatives include bringing popcorn in zip top bags or carrot sticks, granola bars and other healthy treats can be brought along.
Sharing a movie with your children is a special experience they will remember for years to come.

At the moment i have only a crt TV for my wii.
Normal wii Playing is fine.
Wii Menu:
Other Homebrew:
ScummVM Wii:
ScummVM has Black Borders and is much more Blurry +.+
Anyway to fix that? (sorry, its kinda hard to fotograph)
should i post that in the bug tracker?
...or is that normal?
Not sure. Does the black borders continue during game play as the Launcher resolution is 640x480 IIRC and this may account for the difference...
yes it does :/ (thats the main problem, i wouldn't care if it would only occur in the menu)
Please try with the v1.6.0 Wii release when it becomes available on the download page:
I assume you are using a nightly build from here, based on the version string in your screenshot:
This may be related to the SDL library / Wii libraries supplied with the nightly build.
If this is still occurring with the v1.6.0 release, then can you try earlier releases i.e. v1.5.0, v1.4.0, v1.3.0, v1.2.1 etc back to 0.12.0 if possible. Try to find when this problem was introduced or whether this has always been this way...
Sorry, i wasnt around a little while.
Thanks for the respond, i will test it!
(but when it comes to old versions: i was starting with the beginning of the scummvm port to use it on wii and i cant remember that it was any different)
Thank you for doing this... I will await your results.
Any Idead when 1.6 comes to the wii or where i can download all the old wii versions? ^^ (maybe i am really blind atm and cant seee the links on the homepage -.- )
As I said "Please try with the v1.6.0 Wii release WHEN it becomes available on the download page:".
The Wii porter is very busy IRL (and probably due to issues with libogc and toolchain) hasn't provided a v1.6.0 build yet. If/When this is provided, it will be added to the download page.
I am basically asking you to do a "Gross" bisection, to see if this was always like this and approximately when it was introduced...
The nightly builds (stable) are effectively the same as v1.6.0, the development night builds (master) are v1.7.0git and older release packages can be downloaded from here:
sorry for the misunderstanding, the questing "where" was related to the old versions of the scummvm wii ports, not to 1.6

One of my best finds from this past weekend. I got these for a $1. The lady at this sale said her mom had recently passed away, and that she was cleaning out her items. She told me how she was overwhelmed with trying to clear everything out; she was practically giving stuff away. She also let me know that she hadn't gone through everything in the attic, and she is having an additional sale this weekend. She told me I could come early, this Friday, and she would sell me more things. I am so excited, and yes, I am definitely going back.

Continued education and training is vital for both businesses and their employees to effectively meet changing business needs and effectively deliver the best technologies to the organization. Education and training are vital to IT professionals—they help you keep up with the new technologies and keep your skill set fresh and marketable.
Keeping your skills up-to-date is more important now than at any time in the past. New emerging technologies such as the public, private, and hybrid cloud really make you rethink the way your IT infrastructure is designed. Other technologies such as Big Data, business intelligence (BI), and the upcoming Hekaton in-memory tool can open up new uses for the data that you have and can allow you to collect and process data in ways that you never could before.
Fortunately, a wide variety of different training and education options are available. Many of the training options are free, whereas others can be more costly. The best options depend on your personal goals and the needs of your organization.
One of the first places to start with training is the Microsoft Virtual Academy (MVA). All of the courses at the MVA are online and are completely free. The MVA is probably best suited to help you get up to speed with some of the latest Microsoft technologies. Some of the most interesting courses include:
- SQL Server Essentials for Oracle DBAs
- Configuring and Deploying Microsoft's Private Cloud
- Cloud On Your Terms with Microsoft SQL Server 2012: Scale on Demand
- Introduction to SQL Azure
TechNet Virtual Labs is another free training resource that's designed to enable you to test Microsoft's newest products and technologies. Like the MVA, the TechNet Virtual Labs provide hands-on experience using Microsoft technologies. Unlike the MVA, the TechNet Virtual Labs are all short; they're designed to be completed in 90 minutes or less. Some of the database-related labs include:
- Working with the SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Groups
- Creating Excel 2010 Reports based on a SQL Server 2012 Tabular BI Semantic Model
- Exploring SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services PowerView
The TechNet Virtual Labs also have SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 courses. MSDN Virtual Labs is a similar resource that provides hands-on experience with Microsoft's Virtual Studio and other development technologies.
Of course, one of the best career options is still Microsoft certifications. This is especially true in new technology areas such as cloud computing. Organizations looking into implementing new technology will definitely prefer to hire individuals who possess certifications in the relevant technology areas. Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) is the entry point into the Microsoft certification path. The MTA is geared toward students and is only available from select academic institutes that have an MTA Campus License. For IT professionals and developers, Microsoft certifications are the more desirable option. Microsoft offers several levels or certifications:
- Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA)
- Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE)
- Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD)
- Microsoft Certified Solutions Master (MCSM)
Each level represents a deeper skill level. The Database certification path offers a SQL Server 2012 curriculum and provides both database and BI certifications.
Other great education and training options come from organizations such as SolidQ and SQLSkills that provide you with in-person expert training. These companies offer classroom training and can also do custom onsite training. For more in-depth help, these companies can provide you with DBA services and database consulting.
In addition to these options, there are several other ways to keep your skills current and increase your knowledge. Conferences such as Connections help you to network with other like-minded professionals and give you the opportunity to attend expert presentations. Self-paced eLearning courses are another option.
You shouldn't consider this to be a comprehensive list of the different education and training opportunities, but hopefully it gives you some idea of the options that are available and helps you find the type of training and education that's the best match for your needs as well as the business needs of your organization.

To those who think "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" stinks, now it really does.
TLC will roll out the Season 2 premiere of the reality show July 17 with a fragrant flourish, distributing 10 million scented "Watch 'n Sniff" cards to fans across the country so they can smell along with the pint-sized beauty-pageant vet and her earthy family from rural Georgia.
"With a numbered scent card that correlates to scenes in the double-stacked premiere episodes, viewers will we be able to watch the show, scratch their cards and redneckognize [sic] the aromas associated with the Boo Boo gang as they welcome the sights, sounds and smells of summer," TLC wrote in its pun-filled news release.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
The gimmick reeks of gung-ho marketing. The cards will be distributed in People and Us Weekly magazines, with more passed out by Time Warner Cable and "street teams." Ten million of the cards may be pushing it, given that "Honey Boo Boo's" weekly audience is around one-fifth of that. But a network's gotta dream, right?
This all smells like something, but what? Let us know in the comments.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The new Veterans Affairs chief says his department has reached out to all 1,700 veterans kept off an official waiting list at the troubled Phoenix hospital.
Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said the department is discussing individual medical needs with the veterans and has begun scheduling appointments. A report by the VA's inspector general last week said 1,700 Phoenix area veterans were "at risk of being lost or forgotten" after being kept off the official waiting list.
Gibson called resolving the issue a top priority and said the department will continue reaching out to veterans nationwide to improve their access to care.
Gibson took over the VA Friday after Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned under fire. Gibson met Wednesday with a group of veteran service organizations.

Market Capitalization
|This article is part of WikiProject Definitions. Consider editing to improve it. View articles referencing this definition.
Market Capitalization equals the price per share of a company times the number of shares outstanding
Market Capitalization, often shortened as "Market Cap", is the total market value of a company's outstanding shares. Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding (this includes the value of all listed categories of a corporation's stocks - preferred stock, common shares, etc) by the market price per share which is the current value of a company. For example, if a company has 10 million shares, and the current price per share is $10, then the company's market capitalization is (10 million shares x $10), or $100 million.
Market cap is the public market's gauge of how much a company is worth.
You may also see reference to "Mega cap" ($200B or more), "Micro cap" ($50M to $300M) and even "Nano cap" (under $50M).
Examples of Mega cap include companies like Exxon Mobil and Apple (AAPL).
Examples of Large cap include companies like Google.
For investors it is important to have some knowledge of how different classes behave. In general, the larger the market cap the greater the stability and the lower the risk. In general, large caps are mature companies and small caps are younger, growing companies. Small caps carry greater risk, but also more upside potential than large caps.
Some mutual funds focus on specific market cap classes and some strive for a mix of different classes.
The market capitalization or size of an industry, or entire stock exchange or entire nations may be calculated.
By the end of 2007 the market cap of the NY Stock Exchange was $15.65 trillion. Including the American SE and NASDAQ the total market cap for the US was $19.92T. The market cap for the entire world was just more than $55T at that time.

During Medicare Open Enrollment, which started Oct. 15 and runs through Dec. 7, there's usually an uptick in online spam pitching supplemental plans.
But this year, it's gone epidemic — with a 10-fold increase compared to recent months in these always annoying and sometimes risky offers, reports messaging security firm Cloudmark.
>> Sign up for the AARP Money newsletter
The reason may go beyond just the calendar: It looks like spammers are exploiting confusion over the Affordable Care Act – and how it affects Medicare recipients.
In reality, it doesn't affect them at all concerning enrollment. If you're enrolled in Medicare, you're set – you're not required to purchase insurance through the Affordable Care Act health insurance exchanges. Medicare supplement plans, the theme of most spam messages, are optional – and not part of ACA exchanges. But spammers seem to be counting on you emerging from the blizzard of news about the ACA thinking it means you have to buy a new policy.
Spammers tend to be devoted news hounds – and bad headlines usually translate to good business for them. With every natural disaster, there's a tornado of emails for charity scams aiming to collect fraudulent donations or inviting you to click on disaster photo links that in fact load your device up with malware.
And yet this time around, the surprising thing is that Internet security watchdogs report very little spam that directly mentions the man-made disaster dominating the news: the launch of the HealthCare.gov website.
After tracking billions of messages, Sophos security advisor Chet Wisniewski tells TechNewsWorld that only "a couple hundred" messages mentioning that website, Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act have been found in its spam traps. Why? Spammers may be having a hard time figuring out how to make money directly from the launch woes. Wisniewski quips that "the spammers are probably spending their time trying to hack HealthCare.gov."
Better just to tap public confusion.

Some spam is merely annoying, pitching actual products that may or may not be a good deal for you — and spammers make money every time you click on a spam message, and more if you actually buy a product. But other spam is outright criminal, seeking to steal your money or identity.
Whichever it is, you should think twice before clicking on spam or online ads touting "Medicare" plans.

FRIDAY, May 27, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- Older women who are overweight or obese and lose more than 15 percent of their body weight could significantly boost their levels of vitamin D, new research suggests.
The study, conducted by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, also indicates that the surge in vitamin D could help scientists explore new avenues for the prevention of chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes.
"Since vitamin D is generally lower in persons with obesity, it is possible that low vitamin D could account, in part, for the link between obesity and diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes," study author Caitlin Mason, a postdoctoral research fellow, said in a Hutchinson news release.
Vitamin D is fat-soluble nutrient that plays many important roles in the body, including promoting calcium absorption, reducing inflammation and influencing cell health and the immune system. It's found in certain foods, such as fatty fish, and produced naturally in the body through exposure to sunlight.
The study, published in the May 25 online issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, assigned 439 overweight or obese postmenopausal women to one of four regimens: exercise only, diet only, exercise plus diet and no intervention.
Although women who lost up to 10 percent of their body weight (10 to 20 pounds) through diet and exercise saw modest increases in vitamin D, those levels were roughly three times higher in women who dropped more than 15 percent of their body weight, regardless of what they ate.
"We were surprised at the effect of weight loss greater than 15 percent on blood vitamin D levels," study senior author Dr. Anne McTiernan, director of the Hutchinson Center's Prevention Center, said in the news release. "It appears that the relationship between weight loss and blood vitamin D is not linear but goes up dramatically with more weight loss."
McTiernan concluded the findings suggest the greater the weight loss, the more meaningful the surge in vitamin D levels.
The researchers noted, however, the degree to which vitamin D is available to the body during and after weight loss remains unclear. They also cautioned that more targeted research is needed to understand any link between vitamin D deficiency and chronic disease.

The National Institutes of Health offers more information on the functions and sources of vitamin D.

BOB Jogging Strollers – Review
December 14th, 2009
BOB is, arguably, the best jogging stroller brand on the market today. The question is not whether or not to buy one, but rather which one is right for you and your lifestyle. As a retailer that sells tons of these strollers, we get this question every day. So, here's what you need to know about BOB and how to go about choosing the right jogging stroller for your needs.
If you are a hard core runner, the BOB Sport Utility Stroller (SUS)BOB Ironman Stroller
The BOB Revolution was a welcomed addition to the BOB family a few years ago. It's the swivel-wheeled version of the Sport Utility Stroller that BOB is best-known for. It was created for parents that want the performance of a jogging stroller combined with flexibility and versatility of a standard everday stroller. If you like to walk on the beach, through the park, up a mountain, and through the tiny aisles at the supermarket, then the BOB Revolution Stroller
The BOB Revolution also comes in a 12″AW (All-Wheel) version
All BOB stroller models are available as Duallies (double stroller) as well. You will compromise a bit on performance, but with 2 kids you must be used to compromise by now! All BOB Duallie Strollers
So, remember, the scale from hardcore runner to casual stroller starts with the Ironman (large, fixed wheels), and follows with the SUS, the Revolution, and finally the Revolution AW (small wheels with a swivel).Tweet This Post

Duling sentenced to 30 years to life for fatal stabbing
By HUNTER McGEE
Union Leader Correspondent
NASHUA - Benjamin Duling was sentenced to 30 years to life Friday In Hillsborough County Superior Court for fatally stabbing his partner, Shelly McGrade, at their home in Wilton five years ago.
Wearing green prison garb, Duling apologized to his children in a brief statement he made before being sentenced.
His words were hollow and only made to appeal to Judge Diane Nicolosi said Dianne McGrade, sister-in-law of Shelly McGrade.
"It's not a true 'I'm sorry,''' said Dianne McGrade.. "He's not sorry. He just said it because I would assume his lawyer told him to say it."
Duling was found guilty of second-degree murder in January for stabbing Shelly McGrade, 36, to death in their Wilton home on April 18, 2008. The couple had two children together.
During the trial, Duling claimed he acted in self-defense after McGrade confronted him about having an affair with a co-worker.

Any rumors?
Well it's kind of mf related. And none of the other forums are quite so active. With Canon I'm not going for more MP as a main wish. Dynamic range and better AF.
It's what they are up to now that has more relavance. Canon is working on three layer sensor technology.IT is doing so both for the photo field and in particular the video field.While this is still different from MF it will take the quality level of Canon much higher with larger photosites for the same resolution,no color moire and significantly better Black and white conversion of certain subjects. Photosites would actually be as large as or larger than some MF backs. Putting such a sensor behind the better Canon lenses as well as Canon's excellent TS lenses makes for a very compelling alternative or sidekick to MF dslr and some applications of tech cameras.Due to the low resolution of motion cine footage and the difficulty of retouching in post moire is a big issue.Due to the significantly higher prices that motion picture cameras can be sold at this is driving the next movesat both Nikon/Sony as well as Canon. Canon and Sony/Nikon's next move in sensors will be quite interesting.
....... that the next flagship camera will use Fovean or similar layer-transparent non-Bayer sensor?I love the confidence. Though my bet would be 10:1 against this possibilty.
Where did I say that? However your knee jerk defensive action says a lot.....I'm not predicting anything in particular, but history shows that Canon and Nikon tend to jump ahead of each other in turns.Both Canon and Nikon are getting heavily involved in Motion imaging where 3 layer sensors are far more important. Both have opened offices in the heart of Hollywood.Both Canon and Sony have files multilayer sensor patents, and neither are based on the Sigma sensor.[img]http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/2011_129785_fig01.png/img]Both these patents were files quite a time ago and both could be getting ripe for going into production.The patents can be looked up.Sony has been investing billions in it's sensor manufacturing facilities.Stacked C-mos with on board processing combined with 3 layer non bayer array offer great IQ promise as well as speed that the Sigma sensor does not offer.
Doug is very fast to jump on Fred.Best friends?
My guess is that Canon will continue to get stronger in video, but will not in near-term m
If you want to see real camera innovation look at the two latest 4/3's cameras from Panasonic and Olympus. Unlike their big brothers they actually autofocus shooting motion and do it at exactly what your aiming at. In fact the panasonic with just a touch of the screen will rack focus in a beautiful smooth style.
And I'm not the only one to notice it. In the last 10 days I've been in two camera stores. One mega store on the coast, on smaller store in the middle of the country.At the megastore the line is two deep around the hybrid and motion camera accessory area. Zacuto products of every type are flying out the door. At the smaller store, that two years ago ONLY sold Canons, Nikons and a few medium formats, they now have about 35% of their shelf space dedicated to sliders, friction heads, senihauser mics, radio lavs, hdmi screens and every kind of gizmos, wire and battery charger available. They're both selling the little Panasonic and Olympus cameras as fast as they come in.

Lackland Air Force Base. (AP Photo/Eric Gay)
Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, has become the center of the nation's biggest military sex abuse case in years. Over the past several months, a widespread sexual crime epidemic that began in 2009 has been uncovered at the camp, with twelve of 475 of the base's instructors accused of either rape, sodomy and aggravated sexual assault, among other offenses, and thirty-one female trainees identified as victims.
Now dozens of lawmakers are calling for a Congressional hearing to investigate the incidents at Lackland. But there's no sign that one will happen anytime soon.
Last week, West Texas's Republican Congressman Mike Conoway said he didn't think "congressional theater" would help anything. (Good to know he takes his job seriously). Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson was a little less harsh—she first said a hearing was appropriate, then backed off a bit and told Fox News that Congress should let the military finish its investigation first.
Democratic Representative Jackie Speier fears that the military investigation will work to protect its own people, including the perpetrators. The number of cases being exposed at Lackland reflects a systematic failure of military leaders to report these crimes, she said. Speier therefore is pushing for an investigation that would be conducted outside the very system that allowed these crimes to happen.
As of Monday evening, seventy-seven Congressional representatives—including one Republican, Walter Jones—had signed on to a letter that Speier sent to House Armed Services chairman Buck McKeon and ranking member Adam Smith asking to hold a hearing to investigate the incident.
"How could such a repetitive widespread and sickening behavior still be occurring?" Speier said on the House Floor last month. "What is being uncovered at Lackland flies in the face of what we are being told by our military. Is this what zero tolerance means in the military?"

Adrian Bellesguard
In 1973, Morton Smith, professor of ancient history at Columbia University, shook the world–or at least the world of scholars who work on early Christianity. Fifteen years before, Smith had found an unknown document in the Mar Saba Greek Orthodox monastery, fifteen kilometers southeast of Jerusalem–an ancient Christian text that no one before him had ever mentioned. A letter in Greek, originally composed in the second century by a church father, Clement of Alexandria, and addressed to one Theodore, it was handwritten in ink, in an eighteenth-century hand, on the blank end pages of a seventeenth-century printed book. Less than a thousand words long but rich in detail, the text attacked one of the wonderfully named sects that made the early centuries of Christianity so complex–the followers of Carpocrates, or Carpocratians. These heretics, as Clement and Theodore saw them, claimed that they possessed a secret version of the Gospel of Mark. Jesus, they believed, had taught his followers that they were freed from the law and could do whatever they wanted without sinning. According to one of their Christian critics, Irenaeus, they actually thought they earned salvation by "doing all those things which we dare not either speak or hear of, nay, which we must not even conceive in our thoughts."
Clement assured Theodore that he had been right to silence these "unspeakable teachings." But he also admitted that there was a secret version of Mark's Gospel–a version that the Church of Alexandria made available only to initiates. In a passage that Clement quoted, Jesus raised a rich young man from the dead in Bethany. "And after six days Jesus told him what to do and in the evening the youth comes to him, wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the kingdom of God. And thence, arising, he returned to the other side of the Jordan"–a passage that suggests a libertine interpretation of its own, at least to the twenty-first-century reader. At the same time, Clement denied that an inflammatory phrase, "naked man with naked man," which the Carpocratians had cited, came from the true secret Gospel. The evil Carpocrates had obtained a copy of the text and "polluted" it with lies.
It was an astonishing discovery. A scholar can catalog thousands of manuscripts without ever striking this kind of gold. But Smith was perfectly equipped to assess the new text. Though American by birth and most of his education, he was a great philologist in the old European style. Long before he made the Mar Saba discovery, he had mastered Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and examined and photographed Greek manuscripts in monastic libraries on Mount Athos, the island of Patmos and elsewhere. As a student, he had savored the long, hypnotic services at Mar Saba. Now he spent his time going through the collection, book by book and page by page. When his philological dreams came true, he knew exactly how to make the best of his discovery. Before he left the monastery, he photographed the letter. Back in the United States, he spent years establishing and interpreting the text and consulting many other scholars.

McPherson High is now 4-1 on the season.
McPherson High football coach Tom Young had to make a call to the bullpen here Friday night.
When starting quarterback Kyler Kinnamon came up with an ailing shoulder about an hour before kickoff, Young was forced to employ Plan B.
And that was swapping Kinnamon with wide receiver Marcus Houghton.
All Houghton did was complete his first nine passes and was 13 of 17 for 317 yards and four touchdowns — and that was just in the first half.
"That doesn't surprise me, Marcus playing well," Young said. "He's very talented. He showed that in the preseason and showed that in the summertime in 7-on-7s."
He finished 16 of 20 for 364 yards, as the Bullpups won in surprisingly lopsided fashion on homecoming night, 47-8.
And Kinnamon, who could run but not throw, still figured prominently. He made five catches for 169 yards and a touchdown -- an 86-yard beauty —by the time the game reached intermission with MHS up 34-8.
The Bullpups are now 4-0 in Division III and 4-1 overall. They go to Mulvane Friday with a chance to win the league title outright. Mulvane got past Rose Hill 20-13 on Friday.
Winfield stunned the Bullpups on the game's first play when Sam Camp went up top 65 yards to a wide-open Ryan Minton, then tacked on a 2-point conversion for an 8-0 lead.
But all that did was grab MHS' attention, as it scored on its first four possessions while the defense went into lockdown mode. The Bullpups finally were stopped on their fifth possession, but a six-play drive that covered 66 yards and took only 43 seconds late in the half pushed lead to 34-8, as MHS piled up an insane 411 yards.
Houghton's other first-half scoring tosses were to Dalton Clark, Keaton Sorenson and Austin O'Bannon, who also rushed for another score to complete the first half.
The Bullpups basically pulled the plug on the passing game in the second half, going to the ground-and-pound attack. O'Bannon scored a pair of short TD runs to make it 47-8 by the end of the third quarter.
The MHS JVs played the fourth quarter and put together a drive that melted six minutes off the clock and also came up with a fourth-down defensive stand to regain possession.
"It was a big surprise," Young said. "I never imagined we'd come away with a win with that large of a margin. Our kids played a really great game on both sides of the ball."
The Bullpups finished with 595 yards of total offense, 369 through the air and 226 on the ground. Kinnamon had 191 yards on six catches and O'Bannon rushed for 121 on 26 totes.
Winfield added only 91 yards of total offense after its first play, as it accumulated 156 yards.
"They caught us off guard a little bit (with the first play), " Young said. "We messed up our coverage and paid for that, but after that we played some really good defense."
MHS Listed First
First Downs — 28, 5. Rushes-Yards — 52-226; 26-87. Passing — 17-22-0-364; 2-10-0-69. Punts-Avg. — 0-0; 6-36.0. Fumbles-Lost —2-0; 1-0. Penalties-Yards — 6-50; 4-16.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — University of South Florida anthropologists say they've found evidence of 98 deaths and more graves than previously identified at a closed reform school in the Panhandle.
A report released Monday by the university in Tampa says researchers found at least 50 gravesites at the former Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys in Marianna. The report concludes there may be even more.
That's 19 more gravesites than had been identified by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in a 2010 investigative report. The FDLE was unable to substantiate or refute claims that students were abused and even killed by staffers since the school opened in 1900. It closed last year.
The anthropologists documented the deaths of two adults and 96 children from 1914 through 1973. The anthropologists' research included archived documents from the school, interviews and penetrating radar that led them to places they excavated.

Digital Television
Digital TV is broadcast as a digital signal through various mediums. Over the air (OTA), cable and satellite are the three methods by which most people receive digital television signals. You need some additional hardware to decode the digital signal and display it on a television or computer monitor.
This hardware can be a PCI card to install in a PC or an external device box connected to your aerial, cable or satellite dish.
Some countries are already in the process of converting all broadcast television to a digital format. Starting in 2008 some parts of the UK will no longer have analogue TV broadcasts.
Digital Television formats include ATSC, DVB, DCII, and other formats which MythTV treats as pure MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 streams. On Linux, most DTV hardware in MythTV relies on the confusingly name "DVB" family of drivers.

BuddyPress 1.6.2 Released
BuddyPress 1.6.2 is a compatibility release, and fixes a few small issues with WordPress 3.5. If you're running BuddyPress 1.5/1.6 and are updating to WordPress 3.5, this is a safe and easy update.
Tickets Closed
As always, 1.6.2 requires the latest stable WordPress version, 3.5. Specifically, 1.6.2 addresses a change in WordPress 3.5 that handles avatar uploading.
Just updated my site and now it's all white on the front end. The backend still works.
Maybe it's related to my previous post?
Guess I should have done a current backup instead of upgrading since I'm paying for advertising at the moment. Bad timing.
Strange, the update deactivated all of my themes. I reenabled them and the front end came back.
Still having the other issue in the other post however.
What do you mean by "deactivated all of my themes?"
What themes did you have active before?
What did you end up with?
What are the steps to reproduce?
The only two themes I had on the site were the BP default and the frisco. Frisco being my default theme being used.
After I updated the site with the new BP version, all themes were deactivated.
The back end was still viewable but the front end was only white page.
I simply reactivated the frisco theme and that fixed the problem.
After my wordpress updated to WP, BBpress and Buddypress, my group forums are 404.
So i've checked my group and the forums are deactivated. After i activated the group forum, the forum is running, but not the same as before. Also all topics are hidden (i can access them via permalink if i activate the group forum) and i cant post new topics "There was an error when creating the topic".
Wordpress 3.5
Buddypress 1.6.2
bbPress 2.2.3
My themes are also deactivated. I also have Frisco and it is now in the "corrupt" templates — it requires bp-default theme, so I think it cannot find it by the old address. What should be done to recover it?
Wordpress 3.5
Buddypress 1.6.2
What do you mean "old address?" bp-default didn't move anywhere.
What does 1.6.2 mean for themes? What changed, can we start developing/designing around 2012 theme now?
1.6.2 is just a minor release, nothing changed regarding themes.
On my website, it has become impossible to reply to comments on an update. The reply button is there and the reply input box displays in the correct place below the comment you are replying to, but the reply itself just posts as a normal comment at the bottom. The user being replied to also doesn't receive an email to say that someone replied to their comment.
Cidade SonhoParticipant
Why this don´t work?
help! from Brazil
@somdefabrica that tutorial is not related to this topic. Aside from which, said tutorial is quite out of date and that you should post your request for updated code on that same page.
Cidade SonhoParticipant
HI there
I was wondering if you were going to include a feature to create pages like in FB? Think this could be a good feature for businesses in our communities? Or is there a separate plugin that could do this?
Just installed the new Buddypress 1.6.2 and WordPress 3.5 for a new project. I cannot seem to get rid of the admin bar for members or admins (and believe me, I've looked everywhere… even this website). The code listed in Codex which states to add the script in bp-custom.php did not work..
Also, I setup my WordPress in subdirectory and run the site off the root (i.e. http://www.mysite.com/sub to http://www.mysite.com) and although I haven't had any major permalink conflicts thus far, when I click 'Forums' and click 'New Topic' (as new member), under the section that reads:
You are not a member of any groups so you don't have any group forums you can post in. To start posting, first find a group that matches the topic subject you'd like to start. If this group does not exist, why not create a new group? Once you have joined or created the group you can post your topic in that group's forum.
the 'create new group' link isn't being redirected properly. It's linking to the subdirectory (where WP is installed) and causing a 404 error.
However, the tab that reads 'create new group' under the 'user groups' page works just fine. Where/how can I manually edit this link so that users won't be sent to an error page?
I definitely prefer to keep my WP installation in a subdirectory.
Thanks, and Happy Holidays!
Crop functioning is not working properly as the previous version of buddypress.
I would like to suggest to add "do not crop " option along with crop in change avatar.
I am using wordpress 3.5 and buddypress 1.6.2.
Please take a look in the crop functioning of buddypress 1.6.2.
Thank you…
@debu89 I also noticed that cropping was broken but forgot about it. The re-size box doesn't display or function correctly when cropping an avatar.
I installed this update and left it, and though I was getting thousands of visits to my new site, no one was registering. Finally, friends told me they were unable to register! two weeks of advertising down the drain.
@lunchgirl – Sorry you had trouble. Any idea what the cause was? Nothing changed directly in the sign-up process between 1.6/1.6.1/1.6.2.
I have no clue.
WP Engine isn't updating to WP 3.5 until Jan 17.
So what am I supposed to do? Reinstall and turn everything back on?
How do I get version 1.61 back?
How do I get version 1.61 back?
You'll need to download the zip from here and upload it manually to your server. There is no UI in your dashboard to help with this, other than Plugins > Add New > Upload
Give me a link please because I've been looking for how to download it for over an hour.
Sorry, I found it. Thank you!!!
I've been working for hours.
Doesn't matter which plugin. If Buddypress is active, no one can register on my site, period.
@lunchgirl – I can appreciate your predicament. You'll likely want to open your own topic and try to get support outside of this one. Try to include as many details as possible:
- WordPress version
- BuddyPress version
- bbPress version (if applicable)
- Link to your site
- Any debug notices or errors in your error log
- What you've tried
- The topic 'BuddyPress 1.6.2 Released' is closed to new replies.

It's been almost 17 years since Elton left Cher stranded in the Valley in front of a liquor store in 1995's cult classic Clueless. It wasn't the best way to win a girl's heart, but luckily, he's getting a second chance.
Reunited and playing love interests on Suburgatory, Jeremy Sisto and Alicia Silverstone finally "get serious," the actor tells PEOPLE while on the set of their skit, which nods to the infamous Clueless scene.
"We met at the farmer's market and we have insane chemistry," says Sisto of their roles on his new show. "But do we ever have sex?"
Quips Silverstone, "We'll leave that to the audience to see."
In real life the pair, who never dated, did have crushes on each other.
"We almost kissed," says Sisto, 37, recalling working together on Hideaway, their first film together.
"But she ignored me when we were on Clueless because she was like, the star," jokes Sisto, before quickly adding, "No, I'm kidding."
Now the two are parents. Silverstone is mom to 11-month-old son Bear Blu, while Sisto is dad to daughter Charlie Ballerina, 2½, and his new son, 6½-week-old Bastian Kick.
"Yesterday Bear started pushing this vintage chair his grandmother gave him," says Silverstone, 35. "It's the sweetest thing ever! He's almost standing [on his own] and he's walking with the chair. So that was insane."
Says Sisto of his daughter, "Charlie has been finding songs that she likes over the last couple of weeks. She'll be like, 'Play that, "Toss it in the trash,"' he shares.
"Then I have to call my wife and ask, 'Which song has "Toss it in the trash" in it?' It was Bruno Mars's "Grenade". She is taking in everything. She's so smart now. She's awesome."
The parents also bring their kids to the set.
"Charlie was coming every day, but then there were a couple of times where she was making some noise while filming and my wife got stressed," explains Sisto. "I don't like being away for a day. It's not a good day if I leave before Charlie wakes up."
Adds Silverstone, "Jeremy was trying to figure out Bastian's name on set. He had the Kick part, but not Bastian yet. It's a beautiful name."
The Clueless cast – Paramount
As far as keeping up with the rest of the Clueless cast, Sisto says, "My kid is similar in age to Paul Rudd's [daughter] so we have dinner sometimes. I see Breckin [Meyer] every now and then when mutual friends have game night. And I was friends with Brittany [Murphy]."
Now grown-ups and not just kids, "starting our careers," says Sisto, "It's good to reconnect at the same point in our lives. We're starting again."
Catch Silverstone and Sisto's four-episode arc on Suburgatory Wednesday nights, starting April 18, on ABC.
