Last week, I had a great time and learned at lot at Microsoft MVP Summit. At these gatherings, it's always exciting to mingle with the world's best Microsoft technologists--both from inside Microsoft and from the partner community. Also, I learned a lot of exciting news about the next version of SQL Server, codenamed Katmai. Here are the 10 most exciting changes that will be happening in Katmai. This is breaking news that very few people know yet. Don't forget--you heard it here first!
***** Note to readers: The top-10 list has been removed because sharing this information is prohibited by my non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Microsoft and I don't want to be locked away in the secret dungeon that exists in the bowels of the Redmond campus where people are forced to accomplish all of their work using the Microsoft Bob interface. ****
Wow! Isn't that list really cool and exciting? I'm looking forward to writing about all of these new features!
All humor aside, I did learn about a lot of exciting innovations and enhancements coming down the pike. I'll enjoy writing about them when the NDA permits, and I hope you'll enjoy reading about the latest and greatest in the SQL Server world as soon as we can talk about it.
Having early (quasi-NDA) information about next-generation SQL Server technology might not get you an invitation to the next Hollywood dinner party, but it can give you a leg up on managing your career. How does that work? Sure, it might seem boring when talking heads like me focus incessantly on the next version when you still have a job to do today with the current version. But understanding what will be cool a year from now gives you a chance to consider taking your career in new directions that might otherwise be hard to penetrate.
I'll be exploring this topic in other editorials in coming weeks. For now, the point is simply that it's easy to become an expert in an area that's brand new and that currently has no other experts. Arguably, the definition of being an expert is simply knowing more than most other people. So if most people know nothing about an emerging technology, then it's going to be easier for you to become an expert.
At last week's summit, I reminisced with some of the seasoned MVP veterans about MVP Summits of yesteryear, when Compuserve was the primary newsgroup forum and you could fit all of the SQL Server MVPs in the world around a single conference table. I've been an MVP since about 1994 (at least I think that's the year), and the program has grown by leaps and bounds since then. The current SQL Server MVP roster lists 156 people and the MVP program now rates a keynote from Bill Gates. Personally, I still consider being an MVP being one of the greatest professional honors I've earned, and I'm humbled to be part of this illustrious group.
You might not care about the growth of the MVP program if you're not an MVP and don't hope be one. But, honestly, the MVP program does a world of good for the Microsoft community at large and the SQL Server community in particular. Let's ignore the fact that MVPs answer a tremendous number of questions on the newsgroups. That contribution is easy to focus on. A contribution that's not as obvious is the reliance of the Microsoft product teams on feedback from the MVP teams. Of course, Microsoft is collectively brilliant and no Microsoft program manager has ever had a silly idea (except maybe the product manager for Microsoft Bob.). But vetting ideas through MVPs who have real-world experience and insights is valuable to Microsoft.
Couldn't Microsoft do focus groups and get feedback from "regular" people? Well, sure. But MVPs are constrained by tight NDAs and are seen as very loyal to Microsoft. Thus Microsoft can trust MVPs with information that, to be blunt, it wouldn't share with a focus group. Plus, most MVPs are plugged in to the IT community. Talk to just one MVP and you might be getting the collective feedback of 10, 100, or 1000 users that the MVP has worked with.
The perks of being an MVP have certainly gotten better over the years. After all, who wouldn't appreciate the MVP lifetime privilege that grants unlimited use of the Microsoft jet and corporate yacht? And all of the MVPs seem to love having Bill Gates as their personal butler on their birthday each year. However, as great as those privileges are, I've found that most MVPs, myself included, enjoy the insider access to product teams, the respect of their peers in the community, and recognition as an expert and community leader as the most valuable perks.
Have you ever thought, "Gee, wouldn't it be fun to be an MVP?" I'm out of space this week but promise to discuss that topic sometime soon as I explore what it means to be an expert.
P.S. If you're interested, you can learn more about the MVP program at http://mvp.support.microsoft.com.
P.P.S. I threw in the term "quasi-NDA" above. In case you're wondering, Microsoft doesn't really have a quasi-NDA. But I like to categorize Microsoft NDAs as "fake NDA" and "real NDA." The fake NDA period is when someone, either at Microsoft or externally, has already leaked some information, either accidentally or on purpose, and Microsoft wants people to talk about it even though it's technically under an NDA and the company has no official comment. Breaking a real NDA, of course, gets you thrown into the deepest dankest part of the Redmond dungeon I mentioned earlier. Didn't know about the dungeon? Hmm, that must still be under an NDA.

Green industry remains a small fraction of San Joaquin County's economy.
But it can be hard to miss.
And even as the county welcomes new cleaner, greener industry, many traditional businesses are also looking for ways to save the environment while saving money.
San Joaquin County is where televisions come to die (and be safely recycled), where reams of paper are collected for reuse in the cover of the next bestselling book, where even polystyrene foam can find a new life in cups and food containers.
Michael Amman, president of the San Joaquin Partnership, which focuses on local economic development, said the local green industry is "very small" in comparison to major food processing, manufacturing or logistics.
"But it's a growing market," he said.
Consider the potential.
There is the Port of Stockton, the airport, the University of Pacific's School of Engineering, our proximity to the Silicon Valley ... and Amman could go on.
Here's the problem: "We send four trainloads of talent out of this county every work day on ACE trains," he said. "About one-quarter of our labor force is leaving the county and going into the Silicon Valley every work day, and another quarter is going in other directions."
If San Joaquin County can harness the green industry movement, Amman said, it will have the labor force to meet those demands.
"We are not an untalented area," he said.
Unfortunately, he said, state regulations to foster the growth of green technology don't seem to be aligned with any kind of plan to actually develop that technology here.
Why do electric vehicles have to be built in Detroit when they could be built in California?
"As long as I've been in the state, and I've been here for three governors, I haven't seen an alignment of regulatory policy to spur investment here and to sell it internationally," Amman said.
He did say workers who want to catch the wave should be developing new skills now - not only for the coming green economy, but also to prepare for the wave of baby boomer retirements over the next few years.
Even now, however, local businesses continue to discover the advantages of adopting environmentally friendly practices.
The Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce's Green Team San Joaquin thrives today almost seven years after it started.
The economic downturn did not thwart that effort. If anything it might have bolstered it, said chamber CEO Douglass Wilhoit.
"People are looking at ways to save money in a down economy," he said.
The model used by the chamber has now spread to Stanislaus and Merced counties as well.
That model includes a program in which businesses go through an assessment of their practices to look for ways to help Earth and help their pocketbooks.
An annual recycling exposition planned for March 13 at the Hilton Stockton will showcase some of those businesses.
"A high majority of businesses are implementing what they're learning, and you couldn't ask for more," said the chamber's Frank Ferral.
Action is not limited to the private sector. Lincoln Unified expects to save $1 million a year on its energy bills once solar panel installations are finished at all but one of its schools.
The project was funded through federal tax rebates and a bond approved by district property owners.
"The savings goes to the general fund, which goes back into the classroom - it's a win for everyone," said Rebecca Hall, the district's associate superintendent.
The schools should all be hooked up by May.
"I want to see that first PG&E bill," Hall said with a laugh.

Attributor's "Fair Share Consortium" got a fair amount of pub (Attributor's "Fair Share Consortium Completes Newspaper Trifecta") last year with a blindingly simple idea: monetize illegal use of copyrighted news content. That's otherwise known as anti-piracy as business development, one of favorite web jujitsu strategies.
Rather than huff and puff about taking down unauthorized usage, threatening uncertain court action, just make money on it. The notion: go to the ad servers providing the ads against the unauthorized content, and get them to share a piece of any ad money with original publishers, taking it from the distributor's share. That was last year, and little progress has been made on that point. Two reasons, at least. First and foremost, Google and Yahoo -- the two major ad servers here -- haven't embraced the notion. Sure, they say, we want to help out those beleaguered publishers, but, hey, it's complicated, so let's take another meeting, and another, and another. Secondly, for publishers, "anti-piracy" isn't the first thing on their to-do lists; avoiding (or emerging from) bankruptcy is. Further, they've cut back staff, so even if they signed on with Attributor as many did, their use of the Attributor system has been haphazard.
So the Redwood City-based start-up is trying a different approach. They've dubbed their new service "FairShare Guardian." In the next 90 days, they'll be in their trial phase of it. What's the same: Attributor will still monitor editorial content use, comparing publishers' content to its usage on the web, determining and reporting what's licensed and what's not. Now, though, publishers can "outsource" (for a monthly subscription fee, based on how much content Attributor is monitoring) to Attributor the follow-through. If Attributor finds illegal use -- and that's not "fair use" by a longshot, meaning at least 80% of an article is used without authorization -- it will pursue the matter. First, one notice letter to the offending website, then, a second, and then, notice to both the ad servers serving ads onto those pages hosting the content and search engines pointing to it. It's a roundabout way of saying: pay up.
Google and Yahoo routinely get such notices under the DMCA, and word is they respond well. Here's the 90-day question to watch: If Attributor's numbers are close to right, pointing to "112,000 near-exact copies of unlicensed articles by more than 75,000 unlicensed sites" in a recent 30-day period, how will Google and Yahoo respond to a flood of thousands of notices? Google will only say it responds to DMCA notices, but won't say how many it processes regularly.
It's essential to see this new initiative in a broader context: most news publishers are trying to re-gain mastery of their content, digital mastery. They had total control of it in the print world, being among the most vertically integrated industries, from in-house reporting and ad selling to printing and delivery. On the web, though, they early cast their content out there, hoping to increase the catch of advertisers and readers. As their sophistication about the digital ecosystem has evolved, they are trying to regain mastery. You can see them applying some basic journalistic principles - 4 Ws and an H -- here. About their content, they want to know: who is using, where they're using, when they're using, why (a tougher question) they're using and how they're using. Answering those questions means better content management systems and better tagging and tracking systems.
Attributor is part of that puzzle, aimed at monetizing only the most egregious taking of intellectual property -- whole or nearly whole stories or posts.
More broadly, we can see the AP Registry initiative and the Europe-based ACAP project aimed at the same mastery goals. We can see the same principle in how Hearst is using Nstein. In New York, Dow Jones President Todd Larsen recently told me the company would continue to expand its use of the Eidos content management system across content groups, with the same notion in mind. Finally, the New York Times announced it has partnered with Denver-based Thought Equity Motion to gain some sense of mastery over its burgeoning video.
Mastery doesn't mean locking up the content for most of these companies, though some blogosphere reaction to any Attributor or Registry plans would lead you to believe otherwise. Knowing more about your content, and its usage, is a tool -- a vital one -- as these companies try to take a nuanced view of how to play in the next stages of the web, especially the potential of the mobile, tablet-enabled web. "We are not trying to take ourselves out of the digital ecosystem," NYT Publisher Arthur Sulzberger took pains to point out at the paidContent2010 conference.
What the Attributor system does offer publishers is one look into content usage. A few more than a dozen publishers, including Reuters, are signed on for the 90-day trial, Attributor CEO Jim Pitkow told me. If the 90-day trial works -- let's see how Google and Yahoo respond -- the idea could expand from there.

Ex-Bengals cheerleader libel suit trial winds down
COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A lawsuit against a gossip website by a former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader convicted of having sex with a teenager is set for closing arguments.
Attorneys were expected to present final arguments Wednesday in Sarah Jones' federal lawsuit retrial in Covington, Ky. A January trial resulted in a hung jury.
Jones is seeking damages against thedirty.com website and its operator over 2009 posts she says were false and malicious.
The posts on the Scottsdale-Ariz.-based website said Jones had sex with every Bengals player and probably had two sexually transmitted diseases. Jones says the posts were untrue and caused her severe mental anguish.
The website operator says he didn't write the anonymous posts.
The posts weren't related to Jones' 2012 guilty plea to charges she had sex with an underage former student.

Thursday, 25 October 2012 05:16 PM
Deep in the longest day of his campaign, President Barack Obama was in a Las Vegas casino, gambling that his re-election bid needed one more stop. It was 1:40 a.m. on his clock, and he was pleading with the hotel cooks and waiters for their votes.
"I need you so that I can keep on working for you," he told workers at the Bellagio. His voice was going. And soon, he was going again, too.
Obama's 40-hour blitz across America on Wednesday and Thursday was a sign of how the final campaign of his life will look and feel through Nov. 6. His presidency in doubt, Obama is not just chasing votes. He is chasing time.
The soaring importance of the early voting — happening now in key states such as Ohio, Nevada, Colorado, Iowa and Florida — means the president is into the last-minute sprint, with 12 days to go.
"The old model is gone," said adviser David Plouffe, standing in the early darkness in Tampa, Fla., after Air Force One's red-eye flight from Vegas. "Every day is Election Day now."
Even by campaign standards, where the travel days at this stage are supposed to be full of energy and urgency, Obama's trip covered remarkable ground. More than 7,600 miles of it.
And often it has come with Obama boasts about his pace.
"Our 48-hour, marathon-extravaganza fly-around. We are pulling an all-nighter," he said from Denver. "No sleep. Quite a bit of coffee."
Actually, Obama doesn't drink coffee. And he ends up sleeping a little in his bed on the plane. But the all-nighter part sure felt right, the way Obama and his entourage blurred through five time zones to maximize campaign time.
Obama ricocheted from the heartland to Hollywood, from the mountains to the desert, from ocean to ocean. He ate pizza in Iowa, laughed with Jay Leno in California and mocked Mitt Romney into the wee hours of the Nevada night.
"Vote! Vote! Vote!" the president shouted by then, his message shrunk to its essentials.
Along the way, a helicopter for the press broke down. A van carrying his staff wouldn't start. Air Force One hit monster turbulence. But that was just a memory by the time Obama had a spectacular sunset helicopter ride over Los Angeles, or when he saw 15,000 people waiting for him in the Virginia sun.
The itinerary centered on six toss-up states: Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, Florida, Virginia, and Ohio. He included California to appear on "The Tonight Show," and Illinois so that he could make a splash of voting early as president.
Obama's campaign day lasted more than 18 hours on Wednesday, technically ending at about 2:30 a.m. EDT. His friends and advisers competed for floor space on the plane to sleep. That didn't last long. Obama was in Florida and campaigning anew by 7 a.m. EDT.
That's when signs of punchiness started to show. Some of Obama's aides broke into dance when a familiar Stevie Wonder song played at the end of his Tampa event. The president sounded hoarse.
"I'm just going to keep on keeping on," he said.
Soily Rivera, a 28-year-old homemaker from Tampa, brought her 6-month-old son Jose Santa Maria to hear Obama. When asked if Obama's marathon trip to the battleground states could show desperation, she shook her head in disagreement.
"No, determination," she said. "Determination. Big time."
That is what Obama's campaign wants voters to see — a president full of drive and vigor. Yet Obama also has to campaign this hard because he is fighting for survival. Polls show a remarkably close race in all the key states.
He used spare time for political advantage. In separate conference calls aboard Air Force One, Obama spoke to 17,000 campaign volunteers, 9,000 undecided voters and 50 disc jockeys from swing states.
On the ground, Obama kissed babies, took photos with his motorcade drivers and bought doughnuts for firefighters. He joked with one young boy in Aurora, Colo., that he had the same big ears as the president.
"He enjoys days like this," campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said during one of Thursday's flights, somewhere over the hills on the way to Virginia. "They're busy. They're hectic. We'll sleep on Nov. 7th."
If Obama accomplished any single goal, it was to educate people that many of them can vote right now, so they don't have to get entangled with work or child-care problems on Election Day.
Back in Denver, Sarah Romero, 51, has gotten off her day job at 2 p.m. for the past two months and headed over to her local Obama campaign office to volunteer for the president through the evening.
She was happy Obama was swinging by Denver. But not blown away by his pace. That's his job.
Said Romero: "They get naps on the plane."

Concerns raised over how the CTA will pay off debt service on up to $1 billion in bonds delayed approval on Wednesday of the RTA 2013 budget for the CTA, Metra and Pace.
The issue arose at the last minute over language in the CTA's five-year capital improvement plan that concerned "a large faction" of RTA board members, said RTA chairman John Gates Jr.
Some suburban members of the RTA board questioned whether the CTA made clear the payback process it planned to follow on $555 million in bond debt service in 2013 and a total of $1 billion over five years, said Jordan Matyas, RTA chief of staff.
The board members were worried that the CTA's payment obligation could possibly fall to the RTA, and potentially to Metra and Pace.
Attorneys worked on new wording in budget documents in an attempt to resolve the differences, but 4 1/2 hours into the meeting no agreement was reached and the board meeting was adjourned.
CTA president Forrest Claypool appeared at RTA headquarters to join the discussions before they collapsed.
Claypool left the building out a side door to avoid reporters.
Gates said it was unclear whether the RTA budget would be passed by year's end.
An impasse would have no immediate impact on transit services, he said, but funding for 2013 would be affected if the issue remained unresolved by about February, Gates said.

The European Commission is launching two new anti-competition investigations against US computer giant Microsoft. The first will look at whether Microsoft unfairly ties its Explorer internet browser to its Windows operating system. In the parallel investigation, the Commission will look at the interoperability of Microsoft software with rival products. Note: Remember the OSNews comic? Here is a new comic, which, for now, is attached to the story it relates to. We are working on a separate section for the comic, but until that is done, I will sporadically publish comics this way. I have a whole stack of comics ready for when that section goes live - and you can see the name for the comic too, if you look "closely". Enjoy the new comic, titled "Hawaii".

Sahariyas: a story of hope or despair??
- 1 Artículo
'Sahariyas' is a native tribe of the state, Madhya Pradesh. This tribe also resides in Shivpuri district and their life conditions are far too pathetic. This tribe faces absolute poverty and serious child and women malnutrition leading to a low life expectancy. Food security includes being able to have access to nutritious food in order to lead a healthy life but this is a major problem faced by the people of this tribe. Sahariyas are expert woodsmen and forest produce gatherers but due to government control of forests they were displaced and their sources of livelihoods also came to a standstill. They are settled cultivators but don't have adequate land to be self sufficient and also lack of access to irrigation facilities is one of the reasons of their poverty. Therefore, they are forced to work as laborers in the fields of the high caste Yadavs. The Yadavs hold the position in the local government or panchayat especially that of a sarpanch and have control over all government schemes including the NREGA which gives people employment for at least a hundred days.
The Sahariyas have been given cards by the government so that they can make the most of the scheme but these cards have been seized from them by the sarpanchs. The question is why?? It is because the yadavs don't want them to get proper wages or employment, as it leads to labor loss for them to work in their fields. This tribe is also looked down upon by the people in the district and they are kept at distance from all sorts of interactions.
A good monsoon will also have a contrary effect on the lives of these people, as the government won't declare their areas as draught-effected and no relief will be given to the tribe. Failure of the public health system and lack of a rural banking system have forced the Sahariyas to borrow money from the landlords (yadavs) and they charge high rate of interest, as a result, they have to work hard in their fields in order to pay off the debt that is incurred on them. In the recent years, these tribes have started migrating to urban areas in order to seek employment for 'eking out their living' but they face problems of exploitation due to casualisation of work and poor working conditions and wages. It is very difficult for them to make their ends meet with inefficient work they get with megre income and inadequate housing facility in the cities are the reasons making their lives more miserable.. In this case study, we see how agriculture can promote discrimination and corruption. There is a need for a long term government policy, rural banking facilities and a joint movement by the government and political parties
However, one activity has been taken up by the World Food Programme which has had a positive impact on this community. This organization started mixing a pre-blend powder in their wheat grain .This powder has no distinct taste or smell and helps reducing anemia by providing the necessary vitamins. Villager millers have been given special facilities to store the pre-blend powder and are repeatedly trained in the processes of pre-blending and record keeping. This is not a solution for all the problems faced by the community but it a step forward!!

Six local men save Windham woman's life in LondonderryBy April Guilmet, Union Leader Correspondent
April 19. 2013 11:55AM
LONDONDERRY - A Thursday afternoon drive down a well-traveled road quickly turned into a life-or-death situation when six strangers came to the aid of a woman who'd crashed her car into Beaver Brook.
Police said Laurie Donofrio, 43, had experienced a medical issue causing her to lose control of her black Toyota Camry while traveling alone down Gilcreast Road shortly after 2 p.m. Thursday.
By the time emergency crews arrived on the scene, Gilcreast Road resident Doug Ball, along with motorists Craig Dempsey of Windham, Mike Elliot of Derry, Bernie Rouillard of Windham, Jim Ornsteen of Londonderry and Robert Maiella of Derry had freed the still-unconscious Donofrio from the submerged vehicle and pulled her to safety.
Windham resident Craig Dempsey said he drives that route regularly, and when he saw several cars pulled over near the Beaver Brook bridge Thursday afternoon, he wasn't initially alarmed.
'A lot of people fish in that spot,' he said.
But soon it became clear that all wasn't well.
'Next thing you know, I saw a car that was flipped over inside the water,' Dempsey said Friday morning. 'Three guys were down there too.'
Pulling his own car to the roadside, Dempsey didn't hesitate to join them.
The men tried to open the car's passenger door using a crowbar from Orsteen's truck, but to no avail. The driver's side door remained underwater.
Seeing Donofrio unconscious, underwater and hanging upside-down behind the wheel, Dempsey said they immediately realized time was of the essence.
'She wasn't in very good shape,' he recalled.
Fellow Windham resident Bernie Rouillard, who'd left work early for the day when he came upon the scene on the Beaver Brook bridge, said he saw several women standing on the bridge and heard someone yelling for a crowbar as he drove past, so he pulled over to investigate.
'I went right down there and joined the guys that were helping,' Rouillard said. 'We got in the water and began rocking the car side to side, hoping to get the cab area above water level.'
Rolling the car up on its side, the men saw Donofrio was partially out of the water, though she didn't appear to be breathing.
Using rocks from the riverbed, the men then smashed a back window to access the partially submerged car.
One of the men's shirts was used to cover Donofrio's face as Ball used his pocketknife to slice the driver's side seatbelt, untangling the portion of belt that was tangled around her neck.
With the car doors jammed again, the men smashed another window to pull Donofrio to safety.
'It was absolutely surreal,' Dempsey said. 'I'm just glad we were in the right place at the right time.'
Dempsey, like several of the other men said he sustained some minor cuts on his hands and fingers during the rescue, which he dismissed as 'nothing major.'
Carrying Donofrio onto the shore, the men made efforts to revive Donofrio as they waited for help to arrive.
'She was clearly having a medical issue- she was just coughing and gasping for air,' Rouillard said.
Londonderry firefighters arriving on the scene then took over. 'By then, they were able to converse with (Donofrio) and try to put together what happened,' said Rouillard.
Donofrio was transported to Parkland Medical Center in Derry where she was treated for injuries described as non-life threatening. As of midday on Friday, she remained in stable condition, hospital officials confirmed.
But local police and fire officials stressed the day's outcome 'could have been significantly more tragic' if the six local men hadn't stepped in to help.
'These guys were truly the heroes of the day,' interim Fire Chief Darren O'Brien said.
Bonded by an experience that could have easily turned tragic, it seems likely the men won't stay strangers for long.
"I know where a couple of them live," Rouillard said. "So I'm thinking I'll probably stop by to say hello sometime soon."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (April 9, 2010) - The ETSU softball team was looking to improve its positioning in the conference standings on Friday night, but Jacksonville had other plans in store by taking two from the Lady Bucs in the River City.
The Dolphins took advantage of seven ETSU walks in game one and went on to take the opener, 4-2. Then in the nightcap, Jacksonville got a three-run homer from Katie Kellly in the second inning and the Dolphins went on to sweep the Lady Bucs, 8-2.
With the pair of losses, ETSU has now lost six straight and dipped to 14-26, 3-7; while Jacksonville improved to 25-15, 4-6.
The Lady Buccaneer pitching staff recorded seven walks - including five straight in the fifth inning - and the Dolphins trotted by ETSU with a 4-2 victory in game one.
ETSU received RBI singles from Marlina Delisa (Tucson, Ariz.) and Katy Jett (Talbott, Tenn.), but it wasn't enough offense to power the Lady Bucs past Jacksonville.
ETSU found itself in a hole early as Darci Gilbert's (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) throwing error with two outs in the first led to Jacksonville taking a 2-0 lead. With two outs and runners first and second, Kayla Shavers hit one back to Gilbert in the circle, but the Murfreesboro, Tenn. native missed the target at first, leading to Amanda Schmidt scoring the first run of the game. The Dolphins plated their second run when Olivia Kline singled through the left side.
In third, the Lady Bucs got out of a jam thanks to Amy Campbell's (Chattanooga, Tenn.) great grab on Sarah Simon's liner to third, which doubled up Kayla Ouellet as she broke home on the play. Gilbert worked out of the inning by getting Shavers to ground out.
After leaving a runner stranded in each of the first three innings, ETSU finally broke through in the fourth. Senior Trisha Massenzo (Russellville, Tenn.) was the first of three consecutive Lady Buccaneer players to reach base by singling up the middle - and after Sam Lower (Sebring, Fla.) was safe on a fielder's choice sac-bunt - Katie Henderson (Jackson, Tenn.) was plunked in the knee to load the bases. Unfortunately, the Lady Bucs were only held to one run as Delisa scored Massenzo on an RBI single through the right side - making it a 2-1 game. However, ETSU gave the Dolphins a huge break with a base running blunder, as Henderson broke home on Campbell's short fly out to center, but the junior catcher was tagged out in a rundown - giving Jacksonville the double play. Then, with runners on second and third, Ashley Iveson left the Lady Bucs stranded by striking out Arielle Garner (Buchanan, Ga.) to end the inning.
ETSU made up for the blunder an inning later and tied the game at two when Jett blasted an RBI single to center - scoring Cheniece Cason (Moreno Valley, Calif.).
The game wasn't tied for long; though, as Jacksonville capitalized on some control issues by the Lady Buccaneer pitchers. ETSU tossed five consecutive walks and the Dolphins plated two runs on no hits to grab a 4-2 lead after five innings.
Kline entered in relief and retired the final six hitters she faced to record the save. Iveson improved to 11-6 on the year after allowing two runs on seven hits in five innings of work. Gilbert suffered the loss (4-5) after surrendering all four runs (two earned) in 4.1 innings.
After not tacking on runs early, Jacksonville made the Lady Bucs pay as Katie Kelly's three-run homer proved to be the game-winning hit and the Dolphins capped off a sweep with the 8-2 victory.
ETSU wasted a chance to grab an early lead after leaving runners on second and third in the first. Cheniece Cason and Lucy Schneider (Dade City, Fla.) both reached base to begin the game, but after moving into scoring position, Sarah Sigrest retired the next three Lady Buccaneer hitters to get out of the jam unscathed.
The same couldn't be said for the Dolphins in the bottom half of the inning as Jacksonville plated two runs on two hits to take a quick 2-0 lead.
Once again the Lady Bucs let a scoring opportunity go by the wayside as Katie Henderson led off the inning with a double to left and moved over to third on a wild pitch. However, Sigrest sent down the next three hitters to keep ETSU off the board.
Jacksonville broke the game open in the second when Katie Kelly cleared the bases and gave the Dolphins a 5-0 cushion with a three-run homer to left.
The Lady Bucs finally got on the board in the third when Schneider doubled home Cason and Marlina Delisa's RBI ground out drove in Schneider - cutting the Dolphin lead to 5-2.
The Dolphins added to their lead in the fifth by pushing three runs home to take an 8-2 advantage.
ETSU was held scoreless for the final four frames and the Dolphins cruised to the six-run victory.
Sophomore right-hander Shelby Morris (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) saw her record drop to 1-6 after allowing five runs on three hits and three walks in 1.2 innings. After earning her first collegiate save in game one, Olivia Kline entered in relief to pick up the win (7-4). Kline tossed five innings of two-hit ball and kept the Lady Bucs scoreless in seven total innings on Friday.
The Lady Bucs look to bounce back on Saturday afternoon when ETSU faces North Florida. First pitch of the doubleheader is set for 1 p.m.

We therefore predict that this basic vocabulary will enable the reader to recognize directly about 85 per cent (in round numbers) of all the words he will ever read In Latin literature and to deduce the meaning of about 10 per cent more as derivatives or compounds of known words, or as obvious roots of known English derivatives. The line was drawn at this point because the group of words next highest in frequency would enable the reader to recognize directly only an additional 7 per cent of the vocabulary of Latin literature after learning about 1,000 additional words. Of the 1,471 words in the basic vocabulary, about 400 are so closely related in form and meaning to English derivatives and cognates that, in the experience of the writer, they can either be guessed or learned very easily by the average beginning class in secondary schools. This reduces the burden of memorizing the basic vocabulary to about 1,000 words, which should be learned by secondary school pupils in two years, or in one year by the mature reader In college or in later life. It is hoped that these words will be embodied in easy reading materials, or selected for special emphasis from present reading materials, and learned as they occur in reading.

Matt Harrold's late winner helped Wycombe maintain their four-point lead at the top of Coca-Cola League Two as they beat Accrington Stanley 2-1.
Accrington took the lead in the 16th minute with a fantastic goal by Paul Mullin, who unleashed a dipping volley into the top left corner from the edge of the area.
However, they shot themselves in the foot eight minutes later when the unfortunate Colin Murdock turned Chris Casement's cross into his own net and Harrold headed home 10 minutes from time to snatch all three points.
Brentford remain hot on their heels after a Jordan Rhodes hat-trick earned them a 3-1 victory at Shrewsbury.
Rhodes, who bagged his first in the second minute, scored all three inside half an hour.
Grant Holt headed in a consolation for the hosts in the 68th minute but it was not enough to prevent Shrewsbury from slipping out of the play-off places.
Dagenham and Redbridge dropped to eighth after a Pawel Abbott strike in the 74th minute consigned them to a 1-0 defeat at home to Darlington, who remain two points off the automatic promotion places.
The pair have been replaced in the play-off spots by Rochdale and Bradford.
A first-half Joe Thompson hat-trick sent Rochdale on the way to a 4-2 win at Aldershot. Keiran Toner added a fourth in first-half injury-time.
Meanwhile, Bradford strolled to a 2-0 victory over 10-man Grimsby, while promotion-chasing Bury came from behind to beat rock-bottom Luton 2-1.

10 Actresses We Want to Ban From Magazine Covers Forever
When you walk into a grocery store or bookstore and look at the magazine rack, what do you see? If you're in the "women's interest" aisle, probably a lot of the same celebrity faces over and over again. While these women are beautiful and often stylish, it's getting tiresome seeing the same few women on magazine covers every single month, especially if the women haven't done any projects recently and don't have anything new or interesting to say in their interviews. Here, we've chosen ten of the worst offenders.
Next week – we'll share our picks for some celebrities we think should replace these stars on their endless mag covers.

Best Moments of Justin Bieber's Journey to Adulthood
The pint sized, YouTube-bred singer the world fell in love with a few years ago isn't so little anymore.
Justin Bieber doesn't want to be seen as the same teeny bopper we were first introduced to. As he goes through his growing pains, his diverse fan base may not approve of all his choices. However, they must respect the fact that he is an adult and has the freedom to do as he pleases.
Here, we look back on our favorite reminders that the Canadian star is all grown up.

The Neosho 7th grade girls won the Tri-County Conference Tournament last night in Neosho.
The Neosho 7th grade girls won the Tri-County Conference Tournament last night in Neosho.
Their path to the title included victories over Joplin East (25-7, 25-8), Nevada (25-14, 25-13), and Joplin South in the championship match 25-18 25-16. Neosho had previously defeated South 25-21, 23-25, 26-24 in the regular season.
In the championship match, Neosho used superior serving and net play to keep South from gaining any momentum. Allison Burr and Cami Roy led the Wildcats in service points with 10 and 9. Mikayla Hays added seven service points, including five in a row late in the second game.
Game one was highlighted by the net play of Neosho. Cami Roy set the tone on the second point of the night with a left-handed kill. Maddie Rea, Caitlin Jordon and Laken Schnackenberg dominated the net the rest of the way.
"Maddie was great in the middle of the net in the first game," said coach Tony Branscum. "She made several solid plays for us."
Schnackenberg's stuff block and kill on the next two points helped Neosho seize control of the match early. Joplin could not handle the trio at the net. With Neosho leading, 14-12, Allison Burr went on a five-serve run to increase Neosho's lead to 19-12.
"Allison is as steady of a player as you will find," Branscum said.
Jordon finished game one off with a kill from the right side.
Game two saw Joplin overcome an early deficit to claim an 11-9 lead on Neosho.
After a timeout, Neosho went on a 10-2 run fueled by some of the best volleyball the team has played all year.
Schnackenberg and Hays served during the rally with Roy and Schnackenberg setting Neosho's hitters up for several attacks. Emilee Anderson made some timely passes as the libero.
"If our passers on the back row don't make those plays on the Joplin attacks this could have been an entirely different match," Branscum said.
Burr and Roy closed the game out from the service line with Jordon attacking two or three times in one point to finally break Joplin.
Neosho A is now 11-2 and Tri-County Conference champs. They will compete in the COC Tournament this Saturday in Branson.
Neosho B finished their season last week and amassed a season record of 8-2. Neosho B was undefeated in Tri-County Conference play.

Bianca Amato and James Waterston Will Lead Shakespeare Theatre's PRIVATE LIVES, 5/29-7/13
Noël Coward's fast-talking comedy of manners Private Lives will close the Shakespeare Theatre Company's 2013-2014 Season. Directed by Maria Aitken (2009-2010 Season's As You Like It), Private Lives enjoyed wild success at the Huntington Theatre Company in 2012, being deemed "a diamond-sharp production" (The Boston Globe) and will find a home at the Lansburgh Theatre from May 29-July 13, 2014 (450 7th Street NW).
STC Artistic Director Michael Kahn is pleased to welcome this "intimate comedy" to the Lansburgh and in the hands of a true Coward great: "Maria Aitken is the foremost interpreter as an actress of Noël Coward in our time. When I saw her production in Boston, it was a beautiful treat and is an excellent send up to Coward's aesthetic."
Beginning her career as an actress on the British stage, Aitken has played more Noël Coward heroines than any other actress. Her Coward credits include Elvira in the Harold Pinter directed Blithe Spirit, Gilda in Design for Living, Judith Bliss in Hay Fever, and two turns playing Amanda in Private Lives, once in 1980 on the West End and then in 1984, the latter of which she directed. "An actor's challenge in Private Lives, is mastering that sense of improvisation," she states. "The characters are spontaneous and they bounce off each other's mood. It's what I like most about the play; it breaks all the rules and is still triumphantly successful as a piece of playwriting." Aitken's directorial work has spanned the globe, from Broadway to the West End, and from Coward to Shakespeare.
Noël Coward's quick-witted comedy opens in a blissful hotel in France where divorcées Elyot and Amanda are on honeymoon with their new spouses. One evening, the ex-couple discover each other on neighboring balconies and as they try to maintain a veneer of etiquette and respectability, old feelings make matters complicated. What follows is a boxing match of words, manners laced with subtext and glamour that rendered this play as the epitome of Noël Coward's style and technique. Private Lives is a witty and irreverent play about the people we cannot live with or without.
Bianca Amato* and James Waterston* spar as the bewildered divorcées Amanda and Elyot. The two played doting lovers Jack and Gwendolen in the Sir Peter Hall directed The Importance of Being Earnest (Brooklyn Academy of Music) and were apt to take on an equally witty pair. Following in the wake of Gertrude Lawrence and Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith and Robert Stephens, and Aitken herself, Amato and Waterston were lauded for their perfect "sizzling chemistry" by The Boston Globe. The cast of Private Lives is rounded out by Autumn Hurlbert* as naïve newlywed Sybil, Jane Ridley* as Louise, and Jeremy Webb* as Victor who was last seen on the STC stage in the title role of Don Juan (2005-2006 Season).
The production's slick look is attributed toscenic Designer Allen Moyer who drew inspiration from the artist Raoul Dufy to create the effortless and bold world of Coward's stylish comedy. The look is aided by Costume Designer Candice Donnelly, and returning Measure for Measure Lighting Designer Philip S. Rosenberg.The songs of Noël Coward come alive with the help of the Sound Design and Musical Arrangement duo Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen, who recently worked on such Broadway hits as No Man's Land & Waiting for Godot and Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Maria Aitken is assisted by choreographer Daniel Pelzig, who returns to STC after his electrifying work on Measure for Measure, Fight Choreographer Ted Hewlett, Head of Voice and Text Ellen O'Brien, and Music Director Barbara Irvine. The artistic team is rounded it out by Literary Associate Drew Lichtenberg, Assistant Director Gus Heagerty, Production Stage Manager Leslie Sears*, and Assistant Stage Manager Elizabeth Clewley*.
Private Lives is generously sponsored by the Artistic Leadership Fund with additional support by KPMG LLP. For tickets and more information, patrons can call 202.547.1122 or visit ShakespeareTheatre.org

He has four points in the series so far. Gabriel Bourque (Predators 5/09) had four goals for Moncton to tie the team record for goals in a playoff game. He had 16 goals in 55 regular season games split between Baie-Comeau and Moncton. Meanwhile, Brandon Gormley, a defenseman for Moncton who's likely to go in the top-5 or so of this summer's draft (right where the Lightning will be picking), picked up Second Star honors for his three-assist night. The PEI native had 54 points (nine goals) in 58 regular season games and has nine assists after eight playoff games. Game 4 of the series is Friday.

I just came from a Community Board 14 meeting with the Parks Department. The Parks Department, without community involvement, has unilaterally decided to to build permanent bathrooms at the concession stands in Rockaway.
They are excluding the people of Rockaway in the decision making. We must not let the mayor force us to accept plans we did not chose or accept or decide. This is so un-American. This is so wrong.
The mayor and city are forcing us to accept their plans without our consent. They did not listen when we begged for sand, jetties and bay walls. Now they won't listen to us in our recovery and rebuilding phase. They are excluding us again.
We must get organized. Join Friends of Rockaway Beach. Write letters to elected officials. Go to protest, rallies, meetings. Join your civic association. Get involved. Don't give up.
United we stand, divided we drown!

The IMDb editors get haunted by "Hill House," gear up for Halloween, and say goodbye to "Orange Is the New Black." This is the best stuff from the past seven days.
The next chapter of "Making a Murderer," a Big Adventure from Pee-Wee Herman, and the new season of "Daredevil" top the list of titles on Netflix this month.
Venom roared to a record-breaking $80 million opening weekend, so a sequel's inevitable ... or should we say a "seq-boot?" Confused? Just watch the video.
An update of A Star Is Born and decidedly different "Doctor Who" are two reasons to stay inside this month... and we've got eight others, too.
New episodes of "The Walking Dead," Season 3 of "The Man in the High Castle," and the return of "Riverdale"... there's a lot to watch, and it's all in our October TV calendar.
October's here, and so are some of the year's most-anticipated films. From First Man to Beautiful Boy, there's something for everyone in our October Movie Guide.

Welcome, country music fans.
What follows will be instant grades of every performance at tonight's Country Music Assn. Awards. This post is written off-site from the CMAs at the LAT HQ, and strives to be as fast and accurate as possible. On tap at the show are performances from the likes of Jason Aldean, Faith Hill, Blake Shelton, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood, among others.
This will be updated constantly throughout the night. There may be typos. Enough preamble.
Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan & Eric Church, "The Only Way I Know." The CMA Awards got off to a workmanlike start. As the East Coast recovers from Hurricane Sandy, Aldean and Church kept things simple and straightforward with this sleeves-rolled-up anthem. A nearly romanticized ode to hard, blue-collar work, Aldean sang of soaking in the rain, baking in the sun and getting things done with one's back against the fence. It's stronger in the hands of Aldean, who's a little rougher around the edges. But co-hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley soon took the show down a more lighthearted path, poking fun at Swift, referencing Maroon 5 and doing a little "Gangnam Style" dance. The first 10 minutes captured the line this show will attempt to walk between county and pop. Grade: B.

Wisconsin resident veterans who have recently returned from active duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom are eligible to receive a one-time free small game, archery, gun deer or annual fishing license, under recently enacted legislation.
2013 Wisconsin Act 20 authorizes veterans to receive a voucher code that may be redeemed at Department of Natural Resources service centers within 365 days of discharge for either a small game, archery deer, gun deer or annual fishing license.
"We are very happy to be able to team up with the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs to show our appreciation to our veterans for their selfless service to our country and offer them yet another opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Wisconsin's outdoors," said DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp.
The DNR already offers all active duty U.S. Armed Forces or Wisconsin National Guard or Reserves service members, resident or non-resident, special license privileges for hunting, fishing and trapping. And residents who are disabled veterans or former prisoners of war receive free admission to state parks and forests.
Veterans who wish to receive a free hunting or fishing license must first contact the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs to determine their eligibility for this program.
Veteran's eligibility-related questions should be directed to the WDVA's Veterans Benefits Resource Center via web chat [www.wisvets.com (exit DNR) exit DNR], email email@example.com or phone 1-800-WIS-VETS (947-8387).
Veterans can redeem their vouchers in person at any DNR Service Center or by calling the DNR Call Center at 1-888-WNDRINFo (1-888-936-7463) to receive the license by mail or to arrange for pick up at any DNR Service Center.
Veterans can learn more about the eligibility requirements by searching the DNR website dnr.wi.gov for keyword "veteran."
The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs will reimburse DNR annually for fees of licenses redeemed via vouchers for veterans.

SLS Las Vegas, formerly the Sahara, will open Labor Day weekend6 February 2014
SBE Entertainment Group, LLC CEO Sam Nazarian on Wednesday announced the opening plans for the weekend of Aug. 29-Sept. 1 on the SLS Las Vegas website. Los Angeles-based SBE owns the resort in partnership with private equity firm Stockbridge Capital Group of San Francisco.
"It's been an incredible journey these past few years and I'm proud and humbled by some big news — SLS Las Vegas is officially opening Labor Day Weekend 2014," Nazarian wrote. "Looking forward to toasting the Strip's next chapter with you! We are 'back' indeed!"
Nazarian also posted a photo of his handwritten note on Sahara letterhead that he taped to the door of the hotel when the resort closed May 16, 2011. The note read "Be Back Soon!" Thank You for 59 years … ."
The Rat Pack-era Sahara sat vacant until last February when SBE and Stockbridge secured the final $100 million needed to complete the renovation. The initial $300 million was secured in April 2012.
Construction began immediately on transforming the Sahara into the 1,600-room SLS Las Vegas.
The resort will have an ultramodern look and style with elements reminiscent of Hollywood Boulevard and the Sunset Strip. The property will have nearly a dozen restaurants and nightlife amenities from SBE's roster of brands.
Many of the attractions are starting to take shape. The redesign of SLS includes new entrances and corridors, while the property's public areas, including the casino, are undergoing a reconfiguration. Entrances along the Strip and from Paradise Road are being redesigned.
Unlike other casino companies that license out amenities to third-party operators, SBE will oversee all aspects of SLS Las Vegas. The company said The Bazaar by Jose Andres, Katsuya by Starck, Umami Burger, The Sayers Club and 800 Degrees are part of the SLS lineup.
In 2012, SBE announced an agreement with Los Angeles retailer Fred Segal to place seven different outlets throughout the property.
Nazarian is proudest that he persuaded the The Griddle Cafe, a Los Angeles dining institution, to open a location inside SLS Las Vegas as the property's 24-hour restaurant. He said it took him five years to convince ownership that he would honor their brand.
Former Wynn Resorts Ltd. executive Rob Oseland was named SLS Las Vegas president in 2012 and will oversee the property, including the reconfigured 60,000-square-foot casino, which will have 80 table games and 800 slot machines.
Nazarian said SLS Las Vegas' biggest feeder market will be Southern California, where SBE operates 60 restaurants and nightclubs. The company's loyalty program could have 5 million names by the time SLS Las Vegas opens.
Besides existing hotels in Los Angeles, New York and Miami, SLS hotels are being planned for Philadelphia, Seattle, Boston and Houston.
SBE and Stockbridge acquired the Sahara in 2007.

Jeff Carter didn't think much of it.
He had taken much harder shots off the side of his foot than Clarke MacArthur's blast in the first period of Sunday night's loss to Atlanta.
Carter finished the game and didn't seem to have an issue leaving the Wachovia Center, thanks to a pain killer.
But as the night wore on – and the pain killer wore off – Carter said his foot began to throb with pain.
"It was a harmless play," Carter said. "I got home last night and it started getting worse and worse."
An x-ray this morning confirmed Carter's worst fear.
The Flyers' leading scorer, with 33 goals and 60 points, will be out for 3-to-4 weeks with a non-displaced fracture on his left foot.
Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said the fracture, located on the arch, is painful and will require Carter to stay off his feet for a while.
That means Carter's 286-game ironman streak, not quite rivaling Brett Favre's, will end tomorrow night in Ottawa. It was the third longest streak in team history, behind John LeClair and Rod Brind'Amour. Coincidentally, the same exact injury – a fractured navicular bone – sidelined Brind'Amour and ended his 484-game streak in the 1998 preseason.
But the Flyers have bigger problems than Carter's streak.
They're in a three-way tie with Ottawa and Montreal – two teams that meet tonight – for 5th place in the East. They have also lost four out of their last five games and hold on to a playoff spot by just a four point cushion.
Getting Carter back for the playoffs, as is the current goal, won't do much good if the Flyers don't make the playoffs.
"No one is going to feel sorry for us," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. "This happens to every team. Life has to go on. Life will go on."
The good news for Carter is that the navicular bone is a non-weight bearing bone. Carter said once the bone is healed, it's a matter of playing through the pain. He was hoping that it will take 2-to-3 weeks for that to happen, possibly bringing him back for the final game or two of the regular season.
But Holmgren was quick to caution a premature return, saying the Flyers won't do anything to put Carter's future in jeopardy.
Now, the Flyers – already on their way to Ottawa – will need to find a way to replace Carter in a hurry.
"He's a big time goal scorer that we rely on," Chris Pronger said. "I don't think there's anything we can do about it. It's a part of the game that's unfortunate. It happens to every team; there's always injuries to key guys.
"It's up to us to find a way to play without him."

Meeting Tuesday
I've been asked by a few friends recently, "How do I join?" Just bring a check for $35 to the meeting and we'll help you out. . .and you too can participate in all of the fun we have in the works for this spring and summer!
We have 7 people registered for the retreat, don't forget to bring your deposit if you're interested in going. We have supply lists and details for those who are registered. If you're planning on going and want to take the workshops, pick up a copy of Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitting Workshop and one of Cat Bordhi's magical knitting books and you'll have most of your supplies ready to go.
Quite a few of us are planning the Yarn Harlot trip, see the previous post for details, and join us for a fun day! See her blog for details, but Stephanie is hoping knitters will "represent". Bring a hat to donate to a local shelter if you want to stand up and have knitters as a group be noticed by the "muggles" who don't seem to think we're a group to be taken seriously.
If you've recieved your new issue of Cast On magazine, turn to page 54 and check out the Lacy Brichoe Top and page 81 (in the advertising section). Kristin Omdahl, a local designer and Black Sheep guild member, has a both a pattern featured and stunning lace shawl in the Alpaca Yarn Company ad. Check out her website for more beautiful designs. Kristin is teaching a workshop at Skeins on Main at the end of March, hopefully we can get her to teach a mini-lesson for us at guild soon!
If you missed knitting at the Coffee Beanery lately, you may have missed this:
Greg seemed flattered that we'd remember him and pleased with our gift. What a beautiful afghan created by so many of our hands. My mom used to have a t-shirt that said, "I'm greater than the sum of all my parts" and when I look at this blanket, I think that may be true of us as well. We have so many talented knitters in our midst, but when all of our work is placed together, we create something even more beautiful than one of us could create on our own. I think about this afghan, our nearly 80 scarves and all of the people we taught at Knit Michigan. . .we are a powerful bunch.
With that in mind, Camille sent this to us. . .consider contribuiting your handiwork to the cause.
The Michigan's Women's Foundation is having their 2007 Women of Achievement and Courage Awards ceremony on May 16, 2007 at the GM Wintergarden. The cost of the affair is $150.00, which may be a little steep, however we can still contribute to the evening by donating knitted articles for the silent auction. I suggest we compile a basket of knitted creations on behalf of the BSKG. This way we have an opportunity to be part of this wonderful event along with getting some recognition for the Guild.
Email email@example.com with any questions or suggestion.
See you tomorrow!
