This Week In Island History
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago
From the Newport Journal, Nov. 14, 1913
The Jamestown Light & Water Company has surveyors at work at the North Pond to take more land to increase the supply.
Mr. T.D. Wright has nearly completed the building on the wharf at the East Ferry for Captain Petty, Mr. Ernest Littlefield and Mr. Jared Woodmansee. It is to have telephone and electric lights.
The Cady automobile moving truck of Providence went across the Newport and Saunderstown ferries. It went through the Beaver Tail's driveway all right, but was unable to go through that of the J.A. Saunders, the boat being obliged to turn around and let the automobile back off.
75 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, Nov. 10, 1938
All veterans of the World War in Jamestown are invited to attend services in St. Matthew's Church Sunday morning.
From the Newport Daily News, Nov. 15, 1938
Borings having started in the West Passage of Narragansett Bay, announcement was made today that it was hoped to award the contracts for the construction of the Jamestown Bridge by Dec. 15. Actual work may be started before Dec. 31, the time limit set by the PWA, the work to be completed by June 30, 1940. It became known today for the first time that an augmented ferry service from Jamestown to Coddington Point is contemplated.
50 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, Nov. 12, 1963
The annual Armistice Day parade yesterday in Jamestown was directed by Arnold-Zweir American Legion Post. The Assumption Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps of New Bedford played for the marching.
From the Newport Daily News, Nov. 13, 1963
Sixty-two Jamestown youngsters last night swam at Quonset Naval Air Station swimming pool under the supervision of Joseph Beatrice, recreation center director.
From the Newport Daily News, Nov. 14, 1963
The Jamestown School Committee and the town's two garden clubs, Quononoquott and Jamestown, will appear at tonight's Town Council meeting to urge a wider school access road on Lawn Avenue. The garden clubs are trying to save 12 trees scheduled to be removed to widen the road from 24 to 30 feet.
25 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, Nov. 12, 1988
The second concrete pour on the new Jamestown Bridge began Wednesday morning and should be completed this afternoon, state transportation officials said Wednesday. DOT has made no determination on how to proceed with Cofferdam 14, which has major leaks.
From the Newport Daily News, Nov. 15, 1988
The town building committee has proposed construction of a two-story addition to the police station (in the recreation center) to give police more space than they have now. Last March voters rejected a plan to expand the present building from 900 to 3,260 square feet.
15 years ago
From the Jamestown Press, Nov. 12, 1998
The Town Council Monday got a preview of what a building that consolidated Town Hall and all the other town offices into one structure might look like.
With one month to go before the state Department of Transportation "buttons up" Southwest Avenue for the winter, some concerns by residents remain, but many residents are satisfied with the responsiveness of the DOT. And one big point of contention – the composition of the sidewalk that will run along the west side of the road –was resolved by the Town Council Monday evening.
10 years ago
From the Jamestown Press, Nov. 13, 2003
An invasive red algae first found in Jamestown is rapidly spreading along the southern New England coast with unknown environmental consequences. Discovered in 1996 at Beavertail State Park, the algae is now found throughout Narragansett Bay and Long Island.

Reflecting on Beijing 2008
I've been back in the US for about four days now, and believe it or not -- I'm beginning to miss China. The politics, lifestyle, even the food I can live without, but the people -- I miss the locals most of all. There have been many questions about my experience -- from the immigration officer at the Chicago airport (it went beyond the obligatory business/pleasure question) to my family and friends back home -- I've answered them several times before, but I will answer them here as well.
Q: Well, how was Beijing? Should I go?
A: After spending two months living in Beijing, I'd hesitate to recommend the city to tourists looking to soak up Chinese history and culture. Sure -- there's plenty of that in Beijing, but there's so much more to China that you won't be able to see through Beijing's environmental and propaganda haze. I came to tolerate life in the city towards the end of my journey, but only because the Olympics were in town, and many familiar Western conveniences became available, such as an Apple Store and Cold Stone. Unless you speak Mandarin, communication with locals is almost always impossible. Some are learning limited English, but are unable to pronounce words correctly due to a lack of native speakers to practice with.
For photographers, Beijing can be a great place to shoot on clear days, but unfortunately, the sun only breaks through the clouds every so often. If you're only in town for a week, you may not have a single day without a hazy blanket to get in the way of you and that perfect shot. The Chinese make incredible subjects, and are generally more open to photographers than Westerners. Unfortunately, I think much of this comes from a fear of confrontation, especially when they're unable to communicate with the foreigner behind the camera.
Q: What was it like to work at the Olympics?
A: I can't even begin to describe the Olympic experience – it was so incredible to be able to work alongside the world's top photographers, reporters, and athletes. Just being around the athletes was a thrill – there were so many, from almost every country in the world. There were also plenty of opportunities for staff and journalists to mingle with athletes outside of the competition venues, especially towards the end of the Games.
I had a fantastic time working at the Olympics, and would do it again in a heartbeat. I've never been around people from so many diverse cultures at one time, and I really enjoyed watching how each responded to life in Beijing differently. The athletes and journalists rarely left the Olympic venues to explore the city, but when they did, I was more than happy to act as their guide.
During the first week of competition, I answered questions for photographers at the road cycling course (and ended up doing quite a bit of computer troubleshooting as well). A few days after road cycling, I transferred to indoor volleyball, where I worked as a flash quotes reporter, interviewing athletes in the mixed zone alongside reporters from around the world. Often, we had to work through translators -- it was really an experience unlike any other.
Q: Can I work at Vancouver 2010 or London 2012?
A: Honestly, I'm not quite sure. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) required the Beijing Organizing Committee (BOCOG) to hire native English speakers from overseas only because very few were qualified in China. Fortunately for the next Winter and Summer Games, that's not the case -- both will be held in countries where English is the official language. If you're an expert with relevant experience, feel free to contact VANOC or LOCOG for more information about joining their staffs during the Games. I'd certainly recommend giving it a shot -- working at the Olympics is an experience like no other.
I have a few regrets about my experience in China. Some are less significant, and were only realized when I read the United Airlines magazine on the flight back to the States. I can't believe I spent two months in Beijing and only visited half of the locations they suggested in their cover article. I never made it to the restaurant, Made in China, but I certainly heard great things. My biggest regret, however, is not taking more time to travel around the country. I visited Shanghai and Tianjin, and made a side trip to the suburbs with Vincent Laforet, but I really wish I had taken more time in the beginning of my trip to explore other parts of the country. Some friends flew to see pandas in their native habitat near Chengdu, or visited the Terracotta Army at Xi'an. I'd love to visit China again at some point in the near future -- but I don't think Beijing will make it on my itinerary.
This marks my final post to Behind the Lens at the Beijing Olympics. Thanks for visiting, and feel free to continue sending questions or adding your comments to individual posts.

Finland's EU policy is based on an idea of a constructive, cooperative Finland which is eager to exert its influence. Finland supports the further European integration but emphasises the importance of national responsibility. Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen presented the new Government Report on EU Policy to Parliament of Finland in June.
"Economic problems that many countries are facing threaten to destabilise societies and add to the sense of injustice felt by many. Youth unemployment, in particular, threatens to exclude hundreds of thousands of people permanently. Difficulties in Member States affect the whole of Europe. These problems can be solved, however, through national and European-level measures," Prime Minister Katainen said.
In the report, the Government lists a number of practical-level development areas to be prioritised by Finland in the next few years. These include:
"A stronger, more unified and fairer Union would best serve the interests of Finland and its citizens", Prime Minister Katainen said in Parliament which will continue its deliberation on the report in autumn.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Advance Industrial Maintenance & Machine, Inc. Violated Federal Law by Firing Expectant Mother, Federal Agency Charged
ATLANTA – In a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit recently filed, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged that Advance Industrial Maintenance & Machine, Inc., a fabrication and machine shop in Augusta, Ga., violated federal law when its president fired an office worker after learning that she was pregnant.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex or pregnancy. The EEOC filed suit (Civil Action No., 1:10-cv-00124-JRH-WLB) in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The EEOC is seeking back pay, front pay, compensatory and punitive damages for the affected employee, as well as injunctive relief designed to stop pregnancy discrimination and prevent it from recurring in the future.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

The Class of Service (CoS) mechanism allows attributes to be shared between entries. CoS values are calculated dynamically when they are requested. For information about CoS, see the following sections:
Imagine a directory containing thousands of entries that all have the same value for the facsimileTelephoneNumber attribute. Traditionally, to change the fax number, you would update each entry individually, a time consuming job for administrators. Using CoS, the fax number is stored in a single place, and the facsimileTelephoneNumber attribute is automatically generated on every entry as it is returned.
To client applications, a CoS attribute is generated in the same ways as any other attribute. However, directory administrators now have only a single fax value to manage. Also, because there are fewer values stored in the directory, the database uses less disk space. The CoS mechanism also allows entries to override a generated value or to generate multiple values for the same attribute.
Because CoS virtual attributes are not indexed, referencing them in an LDAP search filter may have an impact on performance.
Generated CoS attributes can be multivalued. Specifiers can designate several template entries, or there can be several CoS definitions for the same attribute. Alternatively, you can specify template priorities so that only one value is generated from all templates.
Roles and classic CoS can be used together to provide role-based attributes. These attributes appear on an entry because it possesses a particular role with an associated CoS template. You could use a role-based attribute to set the server look through limit on a role-by-role basis, for example.
CoS functionality can be used recursively; you can generate attributes through CoS that depend on other attributes generated through CoS. Complex CoS schemes can simplify client access to information and ease administration of repeated attributes, but they also increase management complexity and degrade server performance. Avoid overly complex CoS schemes; many indirect CoS schemes can be redefined as classic or pointer CoS, for example.
You should also avoid changing CoS definitions more often than necessary. Modifications to CoS definitions do not take effect immediately, because the server caches CoS information. Although caching accelerates read access to generated attributes, when changes to CoS information occur, the server must reconstruct the cache. This task can take some time, usually in the order of seconds. During cache reconstruction, read operations may still access the old cached information, rather than the newly modified information, which means that if you change CoS definitions too frequently, you are likely to be accessing outdated data.
The CoS mechanism relies on two types of entries, the CoS definition entry and the CoS template entry. This section describes the CoS definition entry and the CoS template entry.
The CoS definition entry identifies the type of CoS and the names of the CoS attributes that will be generated. Like the role definition entry, the CoS definition entry inherits from the LDAPsubentry object class. Multiple definitions may exist for the same CoS attribute, which, as a result, may be multivalued.
The CoS definition entry is an instance of the cosSuperDefinition object class. The CoS definition entry also inherits from one of the following object classes to specify the type of CoS:
The CoS definition entry contains the attributes specific to each type of CoS for naming the virtual CoS attribute, the template DN, and the specifier attribute in target entries. By default, the CoS mechanism will not override the value of an existing attribute with the same name as the CoS attribute. However, the syntax of the CoS definition entry allows you to control this behavior.
When schema checking is turned on, the CoS attribute will be generated on all target entries that allow that attribute. When schema checking is turned off, the CoS attribute will be generated on all target entries.
The location of the definition entry determines the scope of the CoS, which is the entire subtree below the parent of the CoS definition entry. All entries in the branch of the definition entry's parent are called target entries for the CoS definition.
The following figure shows a CoS definition entry at the root of the ou=people subtree. The scope of the CoS is only the two subtrees beneath the root. The CoS does not extend above this root, or to other subtrees in the DIT.
The CoS template entry contains the value that is generated for the CoS attribute. All entries within the scope of the CoS use the values defined here. There may be several templates, each with a different value, in which case the generated attribute may be multivalued. The CoS mechanism selects one of these values based on the contents of both the definition entry and the target entry.
The CoS template entry is an instance of the cosTemplate object class. The CoS template entry contains the value or values of the attributes generated by the CoS mechanism. The template entries for a given CoS are stored in the directory tree at the same level as the CoS definition.
When possible, definition and template entries should be located in the same place, for easier management. You should also name them in a way that suggests the functionality they provide. For example, a definition entry DN such as "cn=classicCosGenEmployeeType,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" is more descriptive than "cn=ClassicCos1,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com". For more information about the object classes and attributes associated with each type of CoS, see Class of Service in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 Administration Guide.
The following types of CoS differ in how the template, and therefore the generated value, is selected:
Pointer CoS is the simplest type of CoS. The pointer CoS definition entry provides the DN of a specific template entry of the cosTemplate object class. All target entries have the same CoS attribute value, as defined by this template.
The following figure shows a pointer CoS that defines a common postal code for all of the entries stored under dc=example,dc=com. The CoS definition entry, CoS template entry and target entry are indicated.
The template entry is identified by its DN, cn=exampleUS,cn=data, in the CoS definition entry. Each time the postalCode attribute is queried on entries under dc=example,dc=com, Directory Server returns the value available in the template entry cn=exampleUS,cn=data. Therefore, the postal code will appear with the entry uid=wholiday,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com, but it is not stored there.
In a scenario where several shared attributes are generated by CoS for thousands or millions of entries, instead of existing as real attributes in each entry, the storage space savings and performance gains provided by CoS are considerable.
Indirect CoS allows any entry in the directory to be a template and provide the CoS value. The indirect CoS definition entry identifies an attribute, called the indirect specifier, whose value in a target entry determines the template used for that entry. The indirect specifier attribute in the target entry must contain a DN. With indirect CoS, each target entry may use a different template and thus have a different value for the CoS attribute.
For example, an indirect CoS that generates the departmentNumber attribute may use an employee's manager as the specifier. When retrieving a target entry, the CoS mechanism will use the DN value of the manager attribute as the template. It will then generate the departmentNumber attribute for the employee using the same value as the manager's department number.
Because templates may be arbitrary entries anywhere in the directory tree, implementing access control for indirect CoS can become extremely complex. In deployments where performance is critical, you should also avoid overusing indirect CoS due to its resource intensive nature.
In many cases, results that are similar to those made possible by indirect CoS can be achieved by limiting the location of the target entries with classic CoS or using the less flexible pointer CoS mechanism.
The following figure shows an indirect CoS that uses the manager attribute of the target entry to identify the template entry. In this way, the CoS mechanism can generate the departmentNumber attribute of all employees to be the same as their manager's, ensuring that it is always up to date.
The indirect CoS definition entry names the specifier attribute, which in this example, is the manager attribute. William Holiday's entry is one of the target entries of this CoS, and his manager attribute contains the DN of uid=cfuentes,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com. Therefore, Carla Fuentes's entry is the template, which in turn provides the departmentNumber attribute value of 318842.
Classic CoS combines the pointer and indirect CoS behavior. The classic CoS definition entry identifies the base DN of the template and a specifier attribute. The value of the specifier attribute in the target entries is then used to construct the DN of the template entry as follows:
cn=specifierValue, baseDN
The template containing the CoS values is determined by the combination of the RDN (relative distinguished name) value of the specifier attribute in the target entry and the template's base DN.
Classic CoS templates are entries of the cosTemplate object class to avoid the performance issue associated with arbitrary indirect CoS templates.
The classic CoS mechanism determines the DN of the template from the base DN given in the definition entry and the specifier attribute in the target entry. The value of the specifier attribute is taken as the cn value in the template DN. Template DNs for classic CoS must therefore have the following structure:
The following figure shows a classic CoS definition that generates a value for the postal code attribute.
In this example, the cosSpecifier attribute names the employeeType attribute. The combination of the cosSpecifier attribute and the template DN identifies the template entry as cn=sales,cn=exampleUS,cn=data. The template entry then provides the value of the postalCode attribute to the target entry.
It is possible to create CoS schemes that compete with each other to provide an attribute value. For example, you might have a multivalued cosSpecifier in your CoS definition entry. In such a case, you can specify a template priority on each template entry to determine which template provides the attribute value. Set the template priority using the cosPriority attribute. This attribute represents the global priority of a particular template numerically. A priority of zero is the highest possible priority.
Templates that contain no cosPriority attribute are considered the lowest possible priority. In the case where two or more templates are considered to supply an attribute value and they have the same (or no) priority, a value is chosen arbitrarily. Directory Server can be configured to log messages when it is forced to choose a template arbitrarily.
The CoS functionality is a complex mechanism which, for performance and security reasons, is subject to the following limitations:
Restricted subtrees
You cannot create CoS definitions in either the cn=config or cn=schema subtrees.
Unindexed searches
Searches in suffixes where an attribute is declared as a CoS-generated attribute will result in an unindexed search. This may have a significant impact on performance. In suffixes where the same attribute is NOT declared as a CoS attribute, the search will be indexed.
Restricted attribute types
The following attributes should not be generated by CoS because they do not have the same behavior as real attributes of the same name.
userPassword - A CoS-generated password value cannot be used to bind to Directory Server.
aci - Directory Server will not apply any access control based on the contents of a virtual ACI value defined by CoS.
objectclass - Directory Server will not perform schema checking on the value of a virtual object class defined by CoS.
nsRoleDN - A CoS-generated nsRoleDN value will not be used by the server to generate roles.
All templates must be local
The DNs of template entries, either in a CoS definition or in the specifier of the target entry, must refer to local entries in the directory. Templates and the values they contain cannot be retrieved through directory chaining or referrals.
CoS virtual values cannot be combined with real values
The values of a CoS attribute are never a combination of real values from the entry and virtual values from the templates. When the CoS overrides a real attribute value, it replaces all real values with those from the templates. However, the CoS mechanism can combine virtual values from several CoS definition entries. For more information, see "CoS Limitations" in the Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 Administration Guide.
Filtered roles cannot use CoS-generated attributes
The filter string of a filtered role cannot be based on the values of a CoS virtual attribute. However, the specifier attribute in a CoS definition may reference the nsRole attribute generated by a role definition. For more information, see "Creating Role-Based Attributes" in the Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 Administration Guide.
Access Control Instructions (ACIs)
The server controls access to attributes generated by a CoS in exactly the same way as regular, stored attributes. However, access control rules that depend on the value of attributes generated by CoS are subject to the conditions described in CoS Limitations.
The CoS cache is an internal structure that keeps all CoS data in memory to improve performance. This cache is optimized for retrieving CoS data to be used in computing virtual attributes, even while CoS definition and template entries are being updated. Therefore, once definition and template entries have been added or modified, there may be a slight delay before they are taken into account. This delay depends on the number and complexity of CoS definitions, as well as the current server load, but it is usually in the order of a few seconds. Consider this latency before designing overly complex CoS configurations.

|More information:
"Here is the definitive biography of one of the most exciting, influential, and elusive authors of the twentieth century. Christopher Isherwood's novels and short stories, including those that inspired the musical Cabaret, have always been assumed to be largely autobiographical. Based in part on Isherwood's private papers - unavailable until now - this book presents the real story of his life, a life that saw a relatively conventional boy become an acclaimed writer, mystic, and "grand old man" of the gay liberation movement. In the end, Isherwood: A Life Revealed portrays someone who misled as much as he divulged." "Born in England in 1904, the heir to a large country estate where his grandfather was squire, Isherwood had a youth filled with both privilege and loss. His father's death in World War I devastated his mother and created a "hero-father" image that would haunt both Christopher and his unstable brother for the rest of their lives. Isherwood began to acknowledge his homosexuality at boarding school and subsequently formed a definition of "self" based on subterfuge, performance, and escape. With his lifelong friends W.H. Auden and Stephen Spender, he emerged as one of the leading literary figures of the 1930s." "In addition to using Isherwood's correspondence, unpublished diaries, and other previously unavailable sources in painting this clear and definitive portrait, Peter Parker has also unearthed the author's telling early works, including parodies, school memoirs, and even part of a crucial lost novel. Isherwood: A Life captures the fugitive reality of a man who has become a favorite artist and important symbol of an entire era in our life of letters. Published in the centennial of his birth, it will be read as long as Isherwood himself is."--Jacket.

John Blow was an English composer and organist, whose pupils included William Croft and Henry Purcell. His organ compositions, court odes, songs, and single opera, Venus and Adonis, are his most important works.
Blow was probably born at Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire. His date of birth is not known, but he was baptized 23 February 1649 and was likely born only a short while before. He became a chorister of the Chapel Royal, and distinguished himself by his proficiency in music. During this time, he studied with the chorus master Henry Cooke, as well as with composer Christopher Gibbons.
In 1669, Blow became organist of Westminster Abbey, a prestigious position indicating his considerable keyboard skills. A month later, he was taken into the royal court to serve as a performer on the virginal, and in July he procured a post as children's chorus master. Works that seem to date from this period include the 1670 anthem, O Lord, I Have Sinned, for vocal soloists, chorus, and organ, perhaps his earliest surviving effort. In the years leading up to 1685—the year of James II's coronation—Blow composed most of his anthems and his opera, Venus and Adonis. The work is his only stage composition of which any record survives, and it was writte as a Masque for the entertainment of the King. Mary Davis played the part of Venus, and her daughter by Charles II, Lady Mary Tudor, appeared as Cupid.
Around this time Blow took on the young Henry Purcell as a student and was given the post of composer-in-ordinary for voices, an indication that his vocal works had already found much favor.
In 1673, he was made a gentleman of the Chapel Royal and in the September of this year he married Elizabeth Braddock. She would bear him five children, of whom two would die before reaching adulthood. Elizabeth herself lived for only ten years after their marriage, dying in childbirth in 1683. During this period, Purcell began a more intense regimen of studies with Blow, and a friendship between the two arose.
In the late 1670s, he began composition of a large group of songs, which appeared in anthologies from 1679 through 1684. Blow also began writing many odes during this period. His Begin the Song (1684), the first of the St. Cecilia's Day Odes, for vocal soloists, chorus, and instrumental ensemble, is a masterpiece and one of his greatest works.
Blow, who by 1678 was a doctor of music, was named one of the private musicians of James II in 1685. In 1687, he became choirmaster at St Paul's Cathedral; in 1695 he was elected organist of St. Margaret's, Westminster, and is said to have resumed his post as organist of Westminster Abbey, from which in 1680 he had retired or been dismissed to make way for Purcell. In 1699, he was appointed to the newly created post of Composer to the Chapel Royal.
Fourteen services and more than a hundred anthems by Blow are known. In addition to his purely ecclesiastical music, Blow wrote Great sir, the joy of all our hearts, an ode for New Year's Day 1682, similar compositions for 1683, 1686, 1687, 1688, 1689, 1693 (?), 1694 and 1700; odes for the celebration of St Cecilia's Day for 1684, 1691, 1695 and 1700; two anthems for the coronation of James II, Behold, O God, our Defender and God spake sometimes in visions; some harpsichord pieces for the second part of Henry Playford's Musick's handmaid (1689); Epicedium for Queen Mary (1695) andOde on the Death of Purcell (1696). In 1700, he published his Amphion Anglicus, a collection of pieces of music for one, two, three and four voices, with a figured bass accompaniment.
Blow died on October 1, 1708, at his house in Broad Sanctuary, and was buried in the north aisle of Westminster Abbey.

London: A judge has ruled that the detention policy used by British forces in Afghanistan violates human rights laws.
The High Court ruling came at the conclusion of a lawsuit claim by Serdar Mohammed, an Afghan captured by British forces during a military operation in Helmand province in 2010.
The claimant, who was suspected of being a Taliban commander, alleged he was unlawfully detained by British soldiers for a total of 110 days.
Siding with him, High Court judge George Leggatt ruled Friday the British government had no basis for detaining him beyond 96 hours, either under Afghan or international law.
Defense Secretary Philip Hammond said the ruling restricts the ability of troops to operate in combat, and that the government plans to appeal the decision.

I'm often asked what administrators and staff members do during the months between the regular semesters. As I'm sure all involved would agree, there is no shortage of activity as we are busy tying up loose ends from one academic year and making preparations to begin a new one. Among those preparations are efforts to enhance our campus in ways that will serve our new and returning students when they arrive on campus for the fall semester. I'm putting this word out to anyone who would like to sponsor a couple of student activity projects that would undoubtedly prove to be very popular with our students: namely, an outdoor basketball court and a sand volleyball court. These are relatively small-scale projects that can be done fairly inexpensively. If you would like to help, or know someone who would be interested, please contact me for more information.
A project of greater magnitude is, of course, the BMC Sportsplex. Thanks in advance to all who have registered to attend this evening's Sportsplex banquet sponsored by the North Mississippi BMC Alumni Club. We are especially grateful to the "superpac" participants for underwriting this event, which is designed to garner financial support for this important new facility. The importance of moving forward with construction of the Sportsplex cannot be overstated: the baseball and softball Toppers need a place to practice and play right here on campus, and the golf teams need a practice range. Having our own facility will enable us to host intercollegiate competitions at home in a venue that is comparable to those found on the campuses of our competitors. We believe the Sportsplex will serve as yet another reason students will want to attend Blue Mountain College.
In closing, thanks to Larry McMillin, Chris Driskell, Stan Irwin, and the members of the National Management team for providing us with this beautiful patriotic display on the Green. It is a wonderful way to celebrate the upcoming Fourth of July holiday. Next Monday Message: July 8
May God bless each of you with a safe and happy holiday.

This book is a sequel to T-SQL Querying. And it stands completly side by side it.
I can only recommend that you get it. The amount of new stuff to learn is amazing.
So lets see what each chapter covers:
Chapter 1: DataType Related problems, XML and CLR UDTs
Talks about DateTime problems, patterns matching , conversions, large objects, CLR and of course XML which is the biggest part of the chapter.
Chapter 2: Temporary tables and Table variables
A great explanation of how, why and what in the world of Temp.
Chapter 3: Cursors
Shows that although dreaded by many, they have their rightfull place. Small but usefull place :)
Chapter 4: Dynamic SQL
Another dreaded part of SQL Server. And also very handy at times. I like the part about SQL Injection.
Chapter 5: Views
Well... pretty much everything you need to know about views.
Chapter 6: User-Defined functions
I did NOT know that you can update, insert or delete to a table valued function. With as side dish of SCHEAMBINDING of course.
Chapter 7: Stored Procedures
Loved by many, underused by many. Learn them. Use them. Love them.
SQL server 2005 has a per statement recompile, while SQL Server 2000 has a per procedure recompile.
Chapter 8: Triggers
Quick, brief and simple to understand.
Chapter 9: Transactions
Now it gets interesting. With 2 new isolation levels there's a whole bunch of stuff to learn here.
Chapter 10: Exception Handling.
Completly rewritten in SQL Server 2005 it offers a LOT of new functionallty compared to previous versions.
IMO the most important chapter in the book. You can never have enough of that :)
Chapter 11: Service broker
This is probably the least used component of SQL Server today. Unrightfully so, because it's async processing abilities can
open up new worlds in sql server and reliable communication.
Each chapter also covers the analogous CLR functionality. CLR Triggers, sprocs, datatypes, etc...
The book follows the T-SQL Querying with the same ammount of new info and also as a great reference.
If you have T-SQL Querying... get this one too.

Practically everyone has an Active Directory (AD) domain these days, and every AD domain has problems from time to time. Maybe part of your AD domain isn't secured according to the industry's best practices. Possibly one of your branch office's domain controllers (DCs) is exposed. You might not have good locks—or any locks—on the data center doors in one of your secondary sites. Perhaps you need to expose your AD domain to the Internet, but the idea of baring one of your DCs and its data to the rest of the world scares you. All these situations create serious problems with AD design because they indicate decisions that violate established security directives.
Ignoring security best practices leads to the possibility that your AD data will be compromised or destroyed. Of course you need to protect your network against a catastrophic failure—but your DCs must still be able to provide the necessary services. If you have branch offices or secondary sites, or if you need to share AD data with others outside your firewall, the best solution might be to incorporate read-only domain controllers (RODCs) into your AD design. In this article I discuss situations in which RODCs make the most sense, and I guide you through the design decisions you'll need to make in order to implement RODCs correctly.
Writeable DC Limitations
Suppose your business has a main office and two branch offices. Figure 1 depicts such a scenario, in which the main office houses two DCs that replicate to one another for redundancy. Writeable DCs in both branch offices provide authentication and logon support for the users in those sites.
Perhaps you installed DCs at the remote sites because of a limitation in your network's LAN connectivity, such as low network throughput or high latency. Rather than increase the bandwidth between sites, you opted to house local DCs in your branch sites to speed up the logon process. However, branch offices by nature typically house less of the IT infrastructure than the main office does. Branch offices often don't have a fully realized data center—sometimes they don't even have a locked closet in which to house an IT server.
Having unsecured servers in a branch office isn't necessarily a problem, because such machines tend to contain less sensitive data than what's housed on the secured servers in the main office. However, the type of data stored on a typical DC is more sensitive. DCs tend to contain all your users' usernames and passwords, AD-stored attributes including personally identifiable information such as employee IDs and Social Security Numbers, and sensitive information such as employees' home addresses and supervisor/subordinate details.
Every fully writeable DC in your AD forest contains a copy of every AD attribute because the main office's DC automatically replicates information such as employee IDs to the branch office DCs shortly after you enter the information in AD. This fact doesn't cause problems for the DCs that are locked in your main office's data center, but your branch DCs that aren't physically secured are another story. If a would-be attacker or an industry competitor wanted to steal data about your organization, he or she would only need to break into one of your branch offices and abscond with your poorly protected DC. Inside the DC's database, he or she could find all the information necessary to learn about every employee, including personally identifiable information whose loss could immediately create a regulatory compliance problem (assuming your company stores this information in its AD database). Worst of all, the would-be attacker would have all your users' usernames and passwords. To protect your internal IT resources, you'd have to reprovision every single account password.
RODC Solutions
Microsoft introduced RODCs in Windows Server 2008. Although many administrators focus on the read-only aspect of RODCs, their real power comes from the fact that you can configure an RODC to contain only a limited number of your AD passwords.
The main intent of this password subset is to limit the exposure that a lost DC might bring. Consider Figure 2, which depicts RODCs replacing the branch office DCs. The domain administrator can use the RODCs' built-in Password Replication Policy (PRP) to identify only the accounts for the individuals who actually work in each site (e.g., Jim and Brenda for Site A, and Bob and Jane for Site B). Passwords for these users are cached only on the local RODC. By default, no passwords are cached on the RODC, although some attributes are cached.
Some attributes are actually written to an RODC. These attributes are necessary for the RODC to do its job and to keep an accurate account of the activities occurring within its services. The LastLogon, LogonCount, and BadPwdCount attributes are written to the local RODC to ensure successful logons. These attributes ensure that security policies can be measured based on activities at the local RODC. Additional attributes written to the RODC by default include Last Interactive Login (if enabled), ms-DS-Site-Affinity, and LastLogonTimeStamp. For failed logons, the BadPwdTime, BadPwdCount, Last (failed) Interactive Login (if enabled), and ms-DS-Site-Affinity attributes are written to the local RODC database.
By default, an RODC's PRP creates two multivalued AD attributes that contain security principals such as users, computers, or groups: msDS-Reveal-OnDemandGroup, which is exposed as the Allowed RODC Password Replication Group in the Users container, more generically considered the Allowed List, and msDS-NeverRevealGroup, which is exposed as the Denied RODC Password Replication Group in the Users container, commonly called the Denied List. Security principals in the Allowed List include those user accounts whose passwords are allowed to be cached on the RODC. This list should generally contain the users (typically via group membership) who work in the branch office where the RODC also resides. Another set of security principals includes those that should never be replicated to an RODC, including high-level administrators, service accounts, and any domain accounts such as the domain-wide Kerberos KRBTGT account—all of which require extra protection.
Determining which password hashes should be cached on a particular RODC depends on your domain topology and your security policy goals. You can cache only those accounts for individuals who work in a particular remote site, thus protecting all other accounts; or you can replicate a larger set of accounts if those users will need to use local authentication.
Another alternative for extremely high-security environments is to not to cache any passwords on the RODC. As I previously mentioned, this is the default setting. This design ensures that the loss of an RODC won't affect any user data. In such a case, all authentication requests are referred to an upstream writeable DC; however, logon performance is improved because Group Policy processing occurs at the local RODC.
Note that users whose accounts aren't cached on the local RODC can still log on. For these accounts, the RODC refers the request to an upstream writeable DC for authentication if an account password isn't locally cached.
Pollution Protection
The one-way replication of writeable DCs to RODCs provides additional protection against the inadvertent or malicious insertion of polluted data into AD. Consider the situation in which a would-be attacker doesn't want to gather usernames and account information but instead wants to pollute your AD domain with garbage or corrupted information. Or consider the concerns of test environments in isolated AD sites that need to interact with AD. In either of these cases, the ease of polluting the AD database is remarkable. If a would-be attacker or test environment made just one data change, that change would quickly replicate throughout the forest. Inadvertently or maliciously overwriting data can happen in the blink of an eye, with AD's built-in replication spreading the corruption throughout an organization.
RODCs enjoy a one-directional replication topology with their nearest writeable DC. This means that the writeable DC can send targeted updates to the RODC; however, the RODC can't replicate changes back to the writeable DC. Leveraging an RODC in a partially trusted environment protects the environment against this pollution by preventing a local attacker from using the DC as a launching point for data manipulation.
This pollution protection isn't limited to just the contents of the AD database itself. AD's SYSVOL share is similarly protected. An RODC's SYSVOL is also a read-only construct, updatable via one-way replication from a writeable DC.
Note that this SYSVOL protection is only fully realized when your AD replication solution is upgraded to use DFS Replication (DFSR) rather than the older File Replication Service (FRS) technology. A would-be attacker (or a fat-fingered local administrator) could still make a change to SYSVOL, but if you upgrade to DFSR, SYSVOL replication recognizes when such a change is made and deletes the offending data.
This reason, among others, is why migrating SYSVOL replication away from FRS and onto DFSR as soon as possible is a good practice. For information about SYSVOL migration, including detailed implementation steps, see the Microsoft SYSVOL Migration Series at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=119296.
Administrative Flexibility
Another unique RODC feature is the increased ability to delegate administrative responsibility to local site administrators. Consider again the typical business with branch offices. Such a business typically employs its top-tier IT administrators in the main office. Because branch offices tend not to have the same IT infrastructure as the main office, IT administrators in those locations might not have the same level of skill and experience. In many cases, the "IT person" in a satellite location is only a partial member of the IT team. Often, the most technical branch office employee is handed the job of "Occasional IT Pro."
Such individuals introduce a risk to the IT environment when part of their responsibility is to administer local DCs. Recall that in order to log on to a DC, you must be a member of the Administrators or Domain Administrators group. For branch offices with writeable DCs, the "Occasional IT Pro" might require godlike domain admin access if he or she must reboot, patch, or perform other regular maintenance on those computers.
RODCs provide the added flexibility of permitting assignment of a delegated administrator to manage the RODC. This person basically has local administrator privileges on the server, but without the extra set of domain administrator privileges that are necessary to manage AD. The capacity for delegated administrator assignment introduces the possibility of RODC use simply for improved management, even in situations in which account and password protection aren't necessarily high priorities. For more information about the administrative flexibility that RODCs provide, see "Ntdsutil in Windows Server 2008."
Personal Data Protection with Filtered Attribute Sets
A default RODC instance receives a complete copy of the domain directory partition, including all objects and their linked attribute values. By default, an RODC doesn't necessarily protect against the exposure of user data. However, RODCs have a built-in service that limits which attributes and values are replicated to all RODCs. This mechanism is an all-or-nothing approach, meaning that disabling an attribute for replication does so for all RODCs at once.
The mechanism uses a Filtered Attribute Set (FAS), which consists of a dynamic list of attributes that aren't replicated to any RODCs in the AD forest. The intent for attributes that are part of an FAS is the protection of sensitive user data, such as employee IDs or Social Security Numbers. Adding such values into an FAS means those values won't be present on any RODC that's compromised at a branch office location.
Microsoft's website provides numerous articles that explain the exact steps required for adding attributes into an FAS. In making your own design decisions, remember that some attributes might be necessary for application functionality. For example, an application in your organization might require employee IDs or Social Security Numbers to accomplish certain tasks. If those attributes aren't present on the RODC, the application might fail. Before you add an attribute into an FAS, perform a test to ensure that the restricted attributes aren't needed by your applications.
Active Directory in the DMZ
A final use of RODCs is when AD information is needed outside the traditional confines of the corporate network. Organizations with applications that reside on the Internet—or organizations that need Internet-enabled authentication services—can improve the security of those services by using an RODC positioned within the demilitarized zone (DMZ). Although extending AD into DMZ environments is typically an edge case scenario, the use of RODCs in the DMZ can increase the protection associated with users, their passwords, and their attribute values.
Incorporating an RODC into a DMZ is a complex process that in many cases might violate established security policies—particularly with the large number of firewall exceptions necessary to pass AD traffic. For information about using RODCs in a DMZ, see the Microsoft TechNet article "Active Directory Domain Services in the Perimeter Network (Windows Server 2008)."
Pervasive AD Security
Because every part of your Windows network rests on your AD infrastructure, ensuring the total security of that infrastructure is paramount. When your computing environment includes branch offices that lack capable physical controls, securing your network requires a mindset shift regarding your DCs. RODCs are an excellent solution for reducing the attack surface of a vulnerable DC, as well as lessening the effect of a lost DC. RODCs aren't necessary in every environment, so you need to carefully consider your AD design before you decide whether to incorporate them.

HHMI Professors
The HHMI professors are accomplished research scientists who also are deeply committed to creating effective ways to engage undergraduates in science.
The HHMI Professors Program empowers research scientists who can convey the excitement of science to undergraduates. The professors model fundamental reform in the way undergraduate science is taught at research universities through innovative teaching that demonstrates the rigor and value of scientific research. HHMI professors are committed to expanding and enhancing research opportunities for undergraduates and are encouraged to share ideas and collaborate with their peers to improve science education.
Sixty-nine scientists have been named HHMI professors since the program began in 2002. In addition to their commitment to student learning, these highly visible scientists have developed new educational resources and implemented novel mentoring programs to support students.
Here are a few examples of the lasting impact HHMI professors are having:
• Students in HHMI Professor Utpal Banerjee's functional genomics course at the University of California, Los Angeles, conducted original research on the fruit fly's genes and development. Their work led to publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals with more than 250 student authors.
• A bootcamp-style curriculum developed by HHMI Investigator and HHMI Professor Cathy Drennan at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology helped biology and chemistry graduate student teaching assistants learn how to build inclusive learning environments for students.
• Student participants in a mentoring program developed by HHMI Professor Isiah Warner at Louisiana State University showed higher average GPAs and graduation rates—despite their underperformance in first-year science coursework—than other LSU students majoring in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
• Rapid-cycling, self-compatible Brassica plants developed by HHMI Professor Richard Amasino at the University of Wisconsin are being used by high school students for genetic experiments that reveal how traits that affect plant development are inherited.
• HHMI Professor Jo Handelsman pioneered the scholarship of "scientific teaching" and has focused on faculty development. In addition to writing the Entering Mentoring handbook used by colleges and universities across the nation, Professor Handelsman, together with colleague Bill Wood, created the Summer Institute for Scientific Teaching, which has grown from a single Institute to several regional institutes, reaching hundreds of faculty every year.
• HHMI Professor Graham Hatfull created the "phage hunters" PHIRE research project at the University of Pittsburgh. The PHIRE project, which was originally envisioned to involve 10-12 students a year, exploded in scale so that now, the HHMI SEA-PHAGES (Science Education Alliance Phage Hunters Advancing Genetics and Evolutionary Science) program involves close to a hundred institutions and thousands of students each year.
• Individual professors receive a five-year, nonrenewable HHMI grant totaling $1 million to support innovative approaches to linking research and education activities.
• Teams of two professors from the same institution receive a five-year, nonrenewable HHMI grant totaling $1.5 million.
• The Society of HHMI Professors comprises all HHMI Professors to date and encourages sharing ideas and collaborating with peers to improve science education.
To be eligible, an applicant must meet the following requirements:
• Be affiliated with an institution classified as "R1: Doctoral Universities, Highest Research Activity," according to the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
• Be a full-time, tenured faculty member of a baccalaureate degree-granting natural science department, with the teaching of undergraduates as part of his or her responsibilities. If the applicant's institution does not award tenure, the applicant must hold a full-time faculty appointment that reflects significant institutional commitment.
• Hold a full-time faculty appointment in his or her current department for at least three consecutive years prior to applying.
• Be a principal investigator on one or more active, national peer-reviewed research awards of at least three years duration.
