Apache Hive provides a means of running MapReduce job through an SQL-like scripting language, called HiveQL, which can be applied towards summarization, querying, and analysis of large volumes of data. In this article, you will use HiveQL to query the data in an Apache log4j log file and report basic statistics.
You must have provisioned an HDInsight cluster. For a walkthrough on how to do this with the Azure portal, see Get started with HDInsight. For instructions on the various other ways in which such clusters can be created, see Provision HDInsight Clusters.
You must have installed Azure PowerShell on your workstation. For instructions on how to do this, see Install and configure Azure PowerShell.

Databases are appropriate when managing smaller sets of data for which low latency queries are possible. However, when it comes to big data sets that contain terabytes of data, traditional SQL databases are often not an ideal solution. Database administrators have habitually scaling up to deal with these larger data sets, buying bigger hardware as database load increased and performance degraded.
Hive solves the problems associated with big data by allowing users to scale out when querying large data sets. Hive queries data in parallel across multiple nodes using MapReduce, distributing the database across on an increasing number of hosts as load increases.
Hive and HiveQL also offer an alternative to writing MapReduce jobs in Java when querying data. It provides a simple SQL-like wrapper that allows queries to be written in HiveQL that are then compiled to MapReduce for you by HDInsight and run on the cluster.
Hive also allows programmers who are familiar with the MapReduce framework to plug in custom mappers and reducers to perform more sophisticated analysis that may not be supported by the built-in capabilities of the HiveQL language.
Hive is best suited for the batch processing of large amounts of immutable data (such as web logs). It is not appropriate for transaction applications that need very fast response times, such as database management systems. Hive is optimized for scalability (more machines can be added dynamically to the Hadoop cluster), extensibility (within the MapReduce framework and with other programming interfaces), and fault-tolerance. Latency is not a key design consideration.
Generally, applications save errors, exceptions and other coded issues in a log file, so administrators can use the data in the log files to review problems that may arise and to generate metrics that are relevant to errors or other issues like performance. These log files usually get quite large in size and contain a wealth of data that must be processed and mined for intelligence on the application.
Log files are therefore a paradigmatic example of big data. HDInsight provides a Hive data warehouse system that facilitates easy data summarization, ad-hoc queries, and the analysis of these big datasets stored in Hadoop compatible file systems such as Azure Blob Storage.
HDInsight uses Azure Blob storage container as the default file system. For more information, see Use Azure Blob Storage with HDInsight.
In this article, you use a log4j sample file distributed with the HDInsight cluster that is stored in \example\data\sample.log. Each log inside the file consists of a line of fields that contains a [LOG LEVEL] field to show the type and the severity. For example:
2012-02-03 20:26:41 SampleClass3 [ERROR] verbose detail for id 1527353937
To access files, use the following syntax:
For example:
replace mycontainer with the container name, and mystorage with the Blob storage account name.
Because the file is stored in the default file system, you can also access the file using the following:
To generate your own log4j files, use the Apache Log4j logging utility. For information on uploading data to Azure Blob Storage, see Upload Data to HDInsight.
In the last section, you uploaded a log4j file called sample.log to the default file system container. In this section, you will run HiveQL to create a hive table, load data to the hive table, and then query the data to find out how many error logs there were.
This article provides the instructions for using Azure PowerShell cmdlets to run a Hive query. Before you go through this section, you must first setup the local environment, and configure the connection to Azure as explained in the Prerequisites section at the beginning of this topic.
Hive queries can be run in PowerShell either using the Start-AzureHDInsightJob cmdlet or the Invoke-Hive cmdlet
To run the Hive queries using Start-AzureHDInsightJob
Run the following command to connect to your Azure subscription:
You will be prompted to enter your Azure account credentials.
Set the variables in the following script and run it:
# Provide Azure subscription name, and the Azure Storage account and container that is used for the default HDInsight file system.
$subscriptionName = "<SubscriptionName>"
$storageAccountName = "<AzureStorageAccountName>"
$containerName = "<AzureStorageContainerName>"
# Provide HDInsight cluster name Where you want to run the Hive job
$clusterName = "<HDInsightClusterName>"
Run the following script to define the HiveQL queries:
# HiveQL queries
# Use the internal table option.
$queryString = "DROP TABLE log4jLogs;" +
"CREATE TABLE log4jLogs(t1 string, t2 string, t3 string, t4 string, t5 string, t6 string, t7 string) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' ';" +
"LOAD DATA INPATH 'wasb://$containerName@$storageAccountName.blob.core.windows.net/example/data/sample.log' OVERWRITE INTO TABLE log4jLogs;" +
"SELECT t4 AS sev, COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM log4jLogs WHERE t4 = '[ERROR]' GROUP BY t4;"
# Use the external table option.
$queryString = "DROP TABLE log4jLogs;" +
"CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE log4jLogs(t1 string, t2 string, t3 string, t4 string, t5 string, t6 string, t7 string) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' ' STORED AS TEXTFILE LOCATION 'wasb://$containerName@$storageAccountName.blob.core.windows.net/example/data/';" +
"SELECT t4 AS sev, COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM log4jLogs WHERE t4 = '[ERROR]' GROUP BY t4;"
The LOAD DATA HiveQL command will result in moving the data file to the \hive\warehouse\ folder. The DROP TABLE command will delete the table and the data file. If you use the internal table option and want to run the script again, you must upload the sample.log file again. If you want to keep the data file, you must use the CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE command as shown in the script.
You can also use the external table for the situation where the data file is located in a different container or storage account.
Use the DROP TABLE first in case you run the script again and the log4jlogs table already exists.
Run the following script to create a Hive job definition:
# Create a Hive job definition
$hiveJobDefinition = New-AzureHDInsightHiveJobDefinition -Query $queryString
You can also use the -File switch to specify a HiveQL script file on HDFS.
Run the following script to submit the Hive job:
# Submit the job to the cluster
Select-AzureSubscription $subscriptionName
$hiveJob = Start-AzureHDInsightJob -Cluster $clusterName -JobDefinition $hiveJobDefinition
Run the following script to wait for the Hive job to complete:
# Wait for the Hive job to complete
Wait-AzureHDInsightJob -Job $hiveJob -WaitTimeoutInSeconds 3600
Run the following script to print the standard output:
# Print the standard error and the standard output of the Hive job.
Get-AzureHDInsightJobOutput -Cluster $clusterName -JobId $hiveJob.JobId -StandardOutput
The results is:
To submit Hive queries using Invoke-Hive
Set the variable, and then run it:
$clusterName = "<HDInsightClusterName>"
Run the following script to invoke HiveQL queries:
Use-AzureHDInsightCluster $clusterName
$response = Invoke-Hive -Query @"
SELECT * FROM hivesampletable
WHERE devicemake LIKE "HTC%"
Write-Host $response
The output is:
For longer HiveQL queries, it is recommended to use PowerShell Here-Strings or HiveQL script file. The following samples shows how to use the Invoke-Hive cmdlet to run a HiveQL script file. The HiveQL script file must be uploaded to WASB.
Invoke-Hive -File "wasb://<ContainerName>@<StorageAccountName>/<Path>/query.hql"
For more information about Here-Strings, see Using Windows PowerShell Here-Strings.
While Hive makes it easy to query data using a SQL-like query language, other components available with HDInsight provide complementary functionality such as data movement and transformation. To learn more, see the following articles:

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Walt Disney Co. /quotes/zigman/245568/delayed/quotes/nls/dis DIS -1.53% said Tuesday that it has entered into a deal to acquire Lucasfilm Ltd., the owner of the "Star Wars" franchise, from founder George Lucas for $4.05 billion in cash and stock. Disney will pay half the purchase price in cash and issue about 40 million shares when the transaction closes. The final price will be subject to customary post-closing balance sheet adjustments. Disney's move marks its first major acquisition since it bought Marvel Entertainment in 2009 for $4.24 billion. In addition to the box-office revenues it can realize from future "Star Wars" theatrical films, Disney will be able to utilize its consumer products arm to develop and market "Star Wars"-related merchandise. The company already features "Star Wars" content at its theme parks in Anaheim, Calif., Orlando, Fla., Paris and Tokyo.

True freshman wideout Boise Ross looks like he'll be in the mix as a punter returner along with Devin Campbell.
"I've been doing punt return and kick return ever since my freshman year of high school," Ross said. "It's been a smooth transition from there. Just getting it down and getting into the college speed is the only difference that I'm trying to handle right now. It's not relly that much different, just the height of the ball and the speed of the players really."
Ross played his senior season at Liberty High in Bethlehem, Pa., and last September had an 81-yard punt return for a touchdown (and a 46-yard TD reception) in a game against Nazareth.

▶ Congress and the Pentagon began work on the politically touchy subject of closing unnecessary U.S. military bases, with no agreement on which bases to leave on or off the closure list. Congressman David O. B. Martin gave a strong sense of the role current political reality may play in the future of Plattsburgh Air Force Base: "I could not support this base, or any base, as an avenue of economic opportunity. Too often people think the purpose of having the military in and about them is to have economic opportunity."
▶ The Peru Teachers Association and the Peru School District have agreed in principle on a new, three-year teacher contract scheduled to take effect in 1988. The agreement will raise the starting salary for Peru teachers from the current $16,410 to $23,850 over the life of the contract.
▶ Loggers and dairyman will be granted some relief by the Department of Transportation, when the weight limit on the Crown Point bridge is raised from 20 to 36 tons, with the stipulated limit of 8 tons per axle. The DOT had restricted the aging structure last year when the state took over operations of the former toll bridge.
▶ Construction on the Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid is in full swing, and the owner predicts that the facility, when complete, will be better than ever. Much of the inn was destroyed by a fire in January that consumed 12 rooms, a restaurant and office space.
▶ The city's municipal beach officially opens Saturday amid charges of mismanagement and unsatisfactory conditions. As city officials prepare to open the beach for the the long Memorial Day weekend, a city aldermen called existing beach facilities and services "deplorable."
▶ Clinton County is going to take the state's suggestion and explore the idea of a new county home infirmary. The need for additional infirmary facilities was strongly illustrated in a presentation to the County Board of Supervisors recently, but the state has inquired if the county is willing to follow through on payment for a new facility.
▶ The future of the hamlet of AuSable Forks is bright with possibilities. But those possibilities — ski trails in the winter, regional promotional planning, the growth of commuting — all hinge on the future of the principal industry: J. & J. Rogers Paper Company.
▶ Our Lady of Victory parishioners next month will begin a program of tithing to raise about $175,000 to pay for a new gymnasium. As of June 1, the parishioners will have completed paying for the $150,000 Notre Dame Elementary School, over a three-year period.
▶ Plattsburgh's first airmail stop was made according to schedule when Harold Pugh, manager of Burlington airport, taxied his cabin monoplane up the field to take on one sack of outgoing letters and deliver two into the hands of postmaster Arthur Sharon. The stop was in observance of national airmail week, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the US Airmail service.
▶ Members of the State Correction Commission received plans for reconstruction and renovation of the 60-year-old Clinton County Jail at Plattsburgh. Correction Commissioner Edward P. Mulroney, who described the jail building as "dilapidated," said after the meeting that the commission would decide whether to accept the plan or order the jail closed before the next commission meeting June 29.
▶ The ravages of hunger and complete exhaustion after hours of aimless wandering in mountain swamps and a blinding snowstorm that mingled with drenching rains nearly cost the life of local resident. The victim, Gus E. Larson, is in serious condition at Physicians Hospital. Larson is praising his fishing companion, Raymond C. Lyon, with saving his life.
▶ Police are investigating a reported holdup at Rector's Restaurant on Margaret Street in the city. Robert Conley, counterman, told police that a stranger who earlier had attempted to cash a check and was refused, stuck him up with revolver and stole $20 from the cash register.
▶ John B. Riley of Plattsburgh was named by Gov. Sulter as State Superintendent of Prisons, succeeding Col. Joseph F. Scott. The first official act of Superintendent Riley was to sack William A. McCabe of Poughkeepsie as confidential prison agent, salary $3,000 a year.
▶ Largely through the efforts of the Plattsburgh Chamber of Commerce, a preliminary survey by the U.S. Government of Plattsburgh harbor and vicinity including the mouth of the Saranac River is now highly probable, the survey being the first step in the proposed deepening and widening of our lake approaches. There is considerable "red tape" however, and different steps to be taken before the actual survey can be started.
▶ An Upper Jay dispatch states that in one of the most picturesque portions of the Adirondacks it is planned to form a lake that may rival the beauty and popularity of Placid. A few miles northwest from upper Jay brings one to a section where New York capital is considering the erection of a dam that would back, over an ideal stretch of country, a body of water some three miles long, and that along its shores will spring up hotels and cottages to make a resort that will vie with the Adirondack's great resorts.

1 young Maltese mix, 1 small "senior" Maltese, 1 "senior" lil terrier mix, 1 MaMa Chuggle w/ her 6 Chuggle pups hitched a ride from Washington, NC to Asheville, NC because they found warm & loving "foster" homes for the holidays. All these sweet pooches came from an "owner" surrendering 131 dogs to an already full local high-kill gassing facility in Beaufort County that has only 26 kennel runs. Yes..I did say 131 dogs from 1 "breeder" lady.
In this particular air transport we'd like to specifically thank PnP pilot Tim Moreland out of Salisbury, NC for flying the sweet doggies & Vicky in Old Fort, NC @ Healing Hearts Small Animal Rescue for finding them a warm safe place to stay (foster homes) until adopted.
Also, luckily Washington, NC's local rescue called InnerBanks Canine Rescue was able to help tremendously in saving MANY of these 131+ dogs...so MANY WONDERFUL THANX & KUDOS go out to them! They were able to work with the local vets at Pamlico Animal Hospital in helping save many. Through the help of other Rescues & this great wonderful group of PnP pilots, lots of animals have been saved from Washington, NC in Beaufort County & now have a chance at a new loving & safe life. We could NOT do this without EVERYONE'S help!!
What a MERRY HOLIDAY PRESENT TO EVERYONE, especially the pooches

The quest for health and fitness isn't all food and exercise. It's a balance between those two and what strength you have within yourself.
You have to have the "heart" to continue doing what is hard.
Let's face it, Losing weight isn't easy and trying to overcome a lifetime's habit of overeating and not doing exercise to maintain our bodies is sometimes more than we want to face.
You gotta have heart, ladies. Give it all you can to become all you can be.
You are worth it.

Kathy my dear are you drinking enough water? I know that when things slow down for me I try to think of what I have been doing differently and it usually turns out that I haven't been drinking enough of anything. I usually drink at least two liters or liquid - coffee and water - but there are some days my body seems to need more. I just hate that feeling of fullness and being bloated. YUK!
Before I had my hip replacement I was taking so many pain pills just to keep from crying all the time that I was almost constantly constipated. I took Metamucil (sugar free store brand) twice and maybe three times a day. If I didn't do that it was pure hell to try to go. Have you tried that?
Haven't eaten anything yet today but I will probably have my usual - yogurt, pistaschios, celery, canned chicken, V-8 and maybe a little peanut butter (sorry Aus) - how exciting/boring...lol. It works for me at work. I didn't have dinner last night as I wasn't hungry. I'm still not hungry but I know I need to eat something pretty soon before my sugar bottoms out.
Aus I've never had antelope but I've had lots of venison and some elk here and there. My step-dad thought he was the great white hunter...lol. He would also hunt pheasant every year - that was good stuff. My mom would cook it in red wine and cream of mushroom soup. The only problem was you had to be careful of the shotgun pellets...lol

When I was a kid all of the men in my family hunted mostly to supplement the food supply so we had venison a lot especially in the winter. A cow wasn't butchered until it was about on its last legs - either too old to give milk to calve - and was mostly used for hamburger and a few roasts that could be slow cooked until tender enough to eat. We also had chicken, turkey, lamb and pork. We had pinto beans a lot too and I love them to this day. The chickens were usually pretty old too and not laying anymore so they had to be stewed for a couple of days to tender them up...lol. We had a rooster that would chase my little sister and peck her on the head (he was pretty big) and when my grandmother saw that she whacked him good - chicken and dumplings...lol
Didn't have the chicken stir fry for dinner. Instead had a sandwich on the 12 grain bread w one thick slice of bologna and 2 thin slices of swiss. Also had a very modest piece of pumpkin pie.
If I find I am tempted to eat past my cut-off time tonight (in a half hour), I will head to bed early.

Rachael that bologna sandwich sounds SO good!! I love bologna - the old fashioned kind that you have to pull the red stuff off. I hope you have a good book to read if you go to bed early or you could always attack your bf - that sounds like more fun to me...lol.
The interesting thing about not letting anyone fire anything inside the city limits... it hasn't stopped any non law-abiding people from doing it. Just sayin'.
Anyway, I was raised to appreciate rabbits, chickens, ducks, deer, anything plentiful and edible. So much better than hormone enhanced, cruely raised meat.

Michelle, I don't like the deer meat (venison). I can eat a steak on the deer, but that's it. It use to gag me when I was pregnant with my daughter. She won't eat it either, but all the rest of the wild we all eat. I think the elk are the best, even over the antelope. The elk are hard hunting and you have to go to the mountains to track one of them.
Kathy you drink a lot of water, huh? Kidney stones, woowee. I have to constantly remind myself to drink, drink, drink. But I useually get my 2 big glasses in by the end of the day.
Don't live life comparing yourself to everyone else.
God has created you to be you and you are free to be you.
I've tried everything for my tie up and my doc told me to take senna-s which is a natural vegetable laxative and it works to take just 1 a day for me.
I messed up bad today too! I feel I'm slipping and I have to go back to behaving! I'm not even hungry of late so I really don't know what the heck i'm doing! You seem to be aware of what you're eatin and planning meals. I wouldn't just eat carrots if that's the only thing for breakfast. I'm glad to see that you got rid of the hi sodium meal for dinner. Keep on it.
You def have heart! I think it was a really good way of saying it!

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Ryan Callahan shook off recent trade rumors to score a pair of first-period goals that set the tone for the New York Rangers' fourth straight victory, a 5-1 rout of the Colorado Avalanche at Madison Square Garden.
Callahan, mentioned as a possible candidate to be moved prior to the upcoming trade deadline due to his unrestricted free agent status at season's end, added an assist on Brad Richards' late tally to help the Rangers record their longest win streak of the season.
Richards and Derick Brassard each posted a goal and assist and Anton Stralman also lit the lamp for New York. Henrik Lundqvist did his part as well between the pipes, turning back 27-of-28 shots in the triumph.
Gabriel Landeskog had the lone goal for Colorado, which had won four in a row coming in and was dealt only its second loss in its last eight road tests. Semyon Varlamov finished with 38 saves.
"Some nights the puck doesn't bounce your way. That's the way it was tonight," said Avalanche head coach Patrick Roy.
Callahan was the star of a first period in which the Rangers thoroughly dominated, outshooting the Avalanche by a 20-4 margin en route to building a 2-0 lead.
Carl Hagelin set up the initial goal by winning a battle for the puck in the neutral zone, creating a 2-on-1 that culminated with Callahan depositing a backhander through Varlamov's pads with 5:44 remaining in the stanza.
Callahan struck again less than 3 1/2 minutes later, ripping home a drop pass from Richards after the latter stole the puck from Matt Duchene in the Colorado end.
"We had a real strong start," Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault remarked. "Obviously we were meeting a team that was tired and we were fresh. It was their third game in four nights, but we came out the way I thought we needed to come out and that was a determining factor tonight."
The Avs capitalized on their first power play of the night to cut their deficit in half 6:37 into the second period, with Landeskog one-timing a Nathan MacKinnon feed over Lundqvist's blocker to get his team on the board.
New York had a quick response, however, as Stralman sent a long wrister that deflected off Duchene's arm and found its way through just 53 seconds after Landeskog's score.
"It was a good bounce-back after that goal," said Callahan.
Colorado had an opportunity to close the gap by earning a lengthy 5-on-3 advantage late in the second, but the Rangers killed off the penalties in large part to two big saves from Lundqvist -- one on MacKinnon and the other on Duchene -- from near point-blank range.
Brassard slid a shot under Varlamov's left pad with 1:58 elapsed in the third period to give New York a three-goal advantage, and Richards connected on Callahan's no-look give from behind the Colorado net to close out the scoring with 1:36 left to play.

Eligibility for federal student loans is determined through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The student is always the applicant/borrower, and annual maximum loan amounts apply. All applicants must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
Students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually to be considered for federal funding.
Please look into the Federal Direct Stafford Loan and the Federal Perkins Loan. Both sponsored by the federal government. They have very favorable terms, including low interest rates and generous deferment provisions.

|John Olenowski Receives Contract Extension
RIVERDALE, N.Y. - After leading the Manhattan College women's basketball team to a school-record 24 victories and the semifinals of the Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI) in 2010-11, Head Coach John Olenowski has been given a contract extension. Olenowski, who has two years remaining on his original deal, received a five-year extension that will keep him on the Lady Jaspers' bench through the 2017-18 season.
"Coach Olenowski has been tremendously successful everywhere, and he has continued that success his first two seasons here," Athletic Director Bob Byrnes said. "John is a great person who coaches basketball first and foremost. He is a gifted teacher/mentor and top recruiter in part because of all his terrific personal attributes. I can say with confidence that Manhattan women's basketball will consistently have an opportunity for postseason play with John at the helm."
Last season, Olenowski led Manhattan to a 24-10 record, shattering the old school-record of 20 wins set in 1986-87 and 2002-03. The Lady Jaspers finished third in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) with a 13-5 league mark and advanced to the semifinals of the MAAC Tournament for the first time since 2003. Manhattan then made its first postseason appearance in eight seasons when it was one of 16 teams selected to play in the WBI. The Lady Jaspers beat Sacred Heart and Wright State en route to the semifinals, marking the first time in program history that Manhattan won multiple games in the same postseason tournament. In addition, Manhattan finished the season ranked third in the nation in scoring defense, allowing a mere 50.9 points per game.
Three Lady Jaspers earned all-conference recognition last season, including guard Abby Wentworth (Portland, Maine), who was named First Team All-MAAC and First Team All-Met. Manhattan also had five players selected to the 2010-11 MAAC All-Academic Team. Twelve letterwinners from that squad, including four starters, return in 2011-12. Further bolstering the roster, Olenowski has brought in a three-member recruiting class that ranks among the Top 50 nationally.
In two seasons at Manhattan, Olenowski has compiled an overall mark of 39-25 and a 23-13 record in MAAC games. His .625 winning percentage is the best in program history. Including three seasons at Pace University, Olenowski has a career record of 109-53. He earned his 100th career collegiate coaching victory with a 59-53 triumph at Niagara on Jan. 30.
"I am honored and thrilled to receive this new contract," Olenowski said. "I am truly grateful to Dr. O'Donnell our President, Dr. Satterlee our Vice President for Student Life, and Mr. Byrnes our Athletic Director. I have repeatedly told my family, friends and loyal assistants that Manhattan is a special place with a close-knit family environment. I couldn't be any happier than to continue being the head women's basketball coach at Manhattan College."
Manhattan will open the 2011-12 campaign on Nov. 12 with a matchup against Hartford in the Preseason Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT). It will be the first Preseason WNIT appearance in program history.

Personal Statement: "Throughout my career I have found that my Pitt-Johnstown education has served me very well, especially the basic foundation in geology that I received there. I've been able to compete on equal footing with geologists from much better known schools with much larger geology departments over the past 17 years. I have always attributed this to the quality of the geology professors at Pitt-Johnstown for which I consider myself very fortunate to have studied under."
"I hope that future Pitt-Johnstown geology students consider a career in the petroleum industry. While there ceratinly have been some ups and downs in my career, I find the work and travel extremely rewarding and the financial compensation is becoming extremely attractive as global resources become harder to find and develop."

By BOB DICESARE
Think of Penn State University and you probably think of the system's flagship school in State College, Pa., not Penn State-Behrend or Penn State-Altoona.
Think of Ohio State University and surely the location that comes to mind is Columbus, not the satellites in Lima, Mansfield or Newark.
But when people outside of Buffalo think of the State University of New York, who knows what they're thinking? Are we talking Binghamton? Albany? Stony Brook? Or any of the other schools that comprise the SUNY system?
The absence of a a clear-cut flagship entity and the opportunity to lay claim to being "The" State University of New York has been the motivation behind a movement within the University at Buffalo athletic department first reported on The Buffalo News "Campus Watch" blog in early April.
Athletic administrations have downplayed the ongoing changes, insisting it's not a rebranding of UB athletics. Call is what you will, changes are happening and the evidence has become increasingly visible.
Invitations to next year's football opener at Ohio State sent out of the office of AD Danny White played up the "New York" aspect of the university over its Buffalo location (see letterhead below).
But perhaps the biggest change to this point concerns the ongoing resurfacing of the floor at Alumni Arena, which includes a image of New York State at center court (see below).
Look for this all to be part of a greater initiative -- the athletic department version of UB 2020 -- aimed at growing general awareness while generating a greater affinity among alumni, many of whom reside in the New York City and Washington, D.C., areas. And that could be no small triumph if, down the road, UB makes a push to join one of the elite conferences. UB's value as a TV partner increases if UB athletics cultivates a following among its vast alumni base along the Eastern Seaboard.
As it is, UB is currently the only AAU Research institution in the country whose athletic teams play outside one of the five major conferences.

Todd Golden
The Tribune-Star
By Missouri Valley Conference rules, no one from the "home" school can vote for players for the All-MVC team that they coach, work for, or cover as a member of the media.
That means none of the four voters who represent ISU in the MVC voting block — ISU coach Greg Lansing, ISU sports information director Achim Hunt, ISU radio play-by-play man Brian Fritz and Tribune-Star writer Todd Golden — were allowed to vote for Odum on their ballots.
Which means Odum's appearance on the 2013 All-MVC first team — which was released on Tuesday — pleases Odum because it's a recognition that comes from those who have learned to respect him from afar.
"It's a huge honor. I appreciate it when people who aren't involved with Indiana State give you credit," Odum said. "It's always a good thing because a lot of people here at Indiana State don't get a lot of credit, especially in the Terre Haute area, for accomplishing the things they do."
What Odum accomplished was to be the first Sycamore named a first team All-MVC player since Matt Renn did so in 2001.
Odum was joined on the first team by Creighton's Doug McDermott (the Larry Bird Player of the Year), Illinois State's Jackie Carmichael, Wichita State's Cleanthony Early and Evansville's Colt Ryan.
"It's an unbelievable accomplishment. The last guy to do it was Matt Renn, and what an outstanding career he had and player he was. The biggest thing about both of those guys is helping their team win. Matt took his team to a conference championship outright and won a conference tournament. Jake's got a [NCAA] tournament to get into to catch Matt," Lansing said.
Odum has averaged 14.4 points — a career-high — along with a team-high 4.7 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game — good for second on the squad along with Justin Gant.
"He deserves it. Everyone knows it. That's why he was picked. He's a great player. What he's done this year is stepped up his scoring. He's become a dual-threat. He's huge and probably the biggest piece of our team this year," ISU guard Lucas Eitel said.
Odum has been a mainstay for the Sycamores throughout his career. Much of what he did well in his junior season he's done well throughout his career, especially as a floor general. Odum was most pleased with his ability to adjust to defenses that have been more tailored to stop him this year than they've ever been previously.
"I got the feel for teams throwing different defenses at me. My freshman and sophomore years, we had guys who had been around like Carl Richard and Dwayne Lathan who other teams had to key on, so I was under-the-radar," Odum said.
"This year, teams had to key on me. Being able to adjust on the fly to different ball-screen defenses and when guys were going to rotate, that's one of the biggest adjustments I made this year," he added.
ISU's good first two-thirds of the MVC season — the Sycamores were in first-place as late as Feb. 12 — no doubt also helped Odum's cause as far as earning first-team honors.
"The team success in the beginning put us on the map. We're picked seventh and beating teams like Miami definitely bring eyes upon the program and helps us get looks," Odum said.
Odum has never basked much in the glow of individual honors. He has often downplayed them in deference to the contributions his teammates make to his own success. Odum's reaction on Tuesday was no different.
"As always, I have to give credit to my teammates and coaching staff. It's an individual award, but without those guys, I wouldn't be able to do the things I do out there," Odum said.
No other ISU players were on the other All-MVC teams released on Tuesday. The All-Bench and All-Improved teams will be announced today. The MVC Coach of the Year award will be announced on Thursday in St. Louis.

CLOVER A 12-year-old Clover Middle School student with "loose fitting pants" admitted to deputies he brought a knife to school Feb. 4 after it fell from his pockets and struck a classroom file cabinet.
Deputies charged the boy with possession of a weapon on school property and released him into his parent's custody, according to a York County Sheriff's report.
A teacher told a school administrator that the boy had the pocketknife after it fell from his "loose fitting pants pocket" when he got up to leave for the day, the report states. The knife hit a metal cabinet, causing a loud noise that attracted the attention of other students.
The student didn't stop to pick up the weapon, but continued walking out of the classroom, the report states.
Deputies questioned the boy, who admitted the knife was his, the report states. He said he found the knife along the road and brought it to school without telling school administrators.
The boy was "disciplined according to school policy," the report states, and petitioned to family court.

Tax form supplies delayed
The opening of tax season has been delayed this year due to Congress not passing the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 until Jan. 1, 2013. The Internal Revenue Service estimates most households will not be able to start filing until late February or March because of the need for publications and forms that are not yet available.
York County Libraries have a limited supply of South Carolina income tax forms, IRS 1040 EZ publications and forms, and other miscellaneous IRS forms. Libraries have not yet received IRS 1040 publications or forms. The amount of publications and forms supplied to area libraries by the IRS has been greatly reduced from last year in an effort to encourage electronic filing. Libraries will not be able to order additional forms once supplies are depleted.
For more information or to find out about the availability of forms, contact the South Carolina Department of Revenue at 803-898-5709 or sctax.org and the Internal Revenue Service at 1-800-829-1040 or irs.gov.
York County Library staff cannot answer any tax-related questions other than availability of forms.
IRS Form 8949 Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets are incorrect and will be redistributed at a later date. These forms have an error on Page 2, Part II Long-Term. The check boxes are erroneously labeled D, E, and F, instead of A, B and C.
The following IRS forms are delayed: Form 3800 General Business Credit; Form 4136 Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels; Form 4562 Depreciation and Amortization (Including Information on Listed Property); Form 5074 Allocation of Individual Income Tax to Guam or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; Form 5471 Information Return of U.S. Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations; Form 5695 Residential Energy Credits; Form 5735 American Samoa Economic Development Credit; Form 5884 Work Opportunity Credit; Form 6478 Credit for Alcohol Used as Fuel; Form 6765 Credit for Increasing Research Activities; Form 8396 Mortgage Interest Credit; Form 8582 Passive Activity Loss Limitations; Form 8820 Orphan Drug Credit; Form 8834 Qualified Plug-in Electric and Electric Vehicle Credit; Form 8839 Qualified Adoption Expenses; Form 8844 Empowerment Zone and Renewal Community Employment Credit; Form 8845 Indian Employment Credit; Form 8859 District of Columbia First-Time Homebuyer Credit; Form 8864 Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Fuels Credit; Form 8874 New Markets Credits; Form 8900 Qualified Railroad Track Maintenance Credit; Form 8903 Domestic Production Activities Deduction; Form 8908 Energy Efficient Home Credit; Form 8909 Energy Efficient Appliance Credit; Form 8910 Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit; Form 8911 Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit; Form 8912 Credit to Holders of Tax Credit Bonds; Form 8923 Mine Rescue Team Training Credit; Form 8932 Credit for Employer Differential Wage Payments; and Form 8936 Qualified Plug-in Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Credit.

First this is an upgrade from a Galaxy Tablet 10 and an Ipad v1. The Gal Tab 10 was superior to the Ipad for my uses - it was lighter and played much better on a home network - I could use the built in file manager to transfer files over the home network. No need to hook up to a PC or use translation programs like itunes. Need a file? Turn on wireless, locate strorage and transfer the shared file. Works for music, works for images, works for zip files. And nothing erased after a year of use (Try that record with itunes). The only thing lacking in the Gal Tab 10 was the ability to take notes easily. I can't get used to writing with a kindergarten sized stylus ( you know, the big, clunky things that write a thick line on a capacitance screen). Write small enough to put a whole sentence on a single page and it is too small to read later. And there were no apps for translating from test handwriting to typeface, such as OCR on the PC. The Gal note 10.1 has fulfilled the last need. I have a sharp-point stylus so I can scribble words and diagrams to my heart's content and a built-in app that translates my cursive writing into typed text. I can fill up pages. I can read my notes. It (the Gal Note 10 ) has even scored a near 100% translation score on OCR translation. The only thing I have had to correct is to insert spaces in run-together words. Even tech support has been good. One early problem was how to use one feature (formula and word translation ) without turning on wireless. They guided me to the place where the software code for that set of services are controlled. (That probably doesn't make sense until you try it) Anyway I am happy with the newest version of the Gal Note 10.1. Keep it a secret though; I wasn't supposed to open until Christmas.

Backing up data is so frustrating I don't do it often; which means this is not good for work or school. The average amount of time to backup my data is 4 hours. It has taken 8 hours a few times. I am tired of this. They fix Kies and it works for a few weeks; backups take maybe 10 minutes and then they update and it goes back to slow or not working. I have had it about a year now. I like being able to create Snotes with handwriting and pictures and type. But I want backups and it doesn't backup Snote at all even when Kies works. I had to come up with a workaround. I like to use the Spen to edit photos. Backups of photos is ok if Kies is working but I also copy to PC so I can get to it quick. And if a document disapears and you want to replace it with a backup ... you have to restore all your documents not just the one. So I had to find a workaround for that. I got the 16GB one since it takes a SD card. After almost a year I filled it up and wanted to put stuff on a SD card. Nowhere was it mentioned before buying that you CANNOT PUT APPS ON THE SD CARD! I did a lot of research before buying it too. I could go on but I am angry. I used to like it, see my other review, notice how long I had it, and NO I don't own 2 SGNote 10.1s Samsung can't even get that correct. (I wrote here because you can't update a review)

UNIVERSITY PARK — Hes already won numerous awards in his brief college career and his likeness has been plastered across newspaper pages and broadcast on evening news programs for weeks now.
True freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg is still keeping a low profile.
Its getting more challenging to do so.
Now people in and around State College are recognizing him as the executor of The Drive, a last-minute, five-play jaunt down the Beaver Stadium grass that culminated in Hackenbergs one-yard run that helped force overtime in Penn States memorable 43-40 win over the Wolverines on Saturday.
Watching it on film, it gave me a lot of things to learn from, Hackenberg said. It gave me a bigger, different view on it I guess you could say. In the heat of the moment I didnt really understand how everything transpired.
With no timeouts and backed up on his teams own 20-yard line, Hackenberg whos earned a reputation as an unflappable quarterback despite his youth was as cool as ever. To hear him tell it, he let his receivers do most of the work and he relied on his running backs and linemen to give him time to distribute the football.
Fifty seconds. Fourteen yards to Allen Robinson who tiptoed along the sideline to stop the clock. Twenty-nine yards into heavy coverage to Brandon Felder who outleapt a defender and hauled in another first down catch that stopped the clock momentarily before a Hackenberg spike stopped it.
Then, the play a 36-yard jump ball to Robinson who had only one defender to beat at the goal line.
I knew that if I put it up to a spot where he could catch it he had a good chance at winning the one-on-one battle with his defender, Hackenberg said. So in the heat of the moment I dont really remember anything. I just remember releasing the ball and just watching him go up and catch it which was a huge relief for me. It was sort of crazy in the moment.
Hackenberg is learning more and more each week. He spends portions of every Thursday and Friday with head coach Bill OBrien and quarterbacks coach Charlie Fisher who break down film with him and go over the game plan for the upcoming game.
Before he led Penn State down the field with less than a minute to go against the Wolverines, Hackenberg met with OBrien briefly on the sideline.
We went over the situation we were in, we had no timeouts. We needed a touchdown, OBrien said. We talked about the plays, the coverages we expect.
And OBrien relayed a message similar to the one he preaches throughout each week how crucial it is to be able to run a two-minute offense. In this case, Hackenberg was expected to lead a 50-second offense.
Penn State spends portions of its practices every day on the two-minute offense. With music or simulated crowd noise blaring, Hackenberg has been leading drives similar to the one he led against Michigan since training camp.
I feel real comfortable. I feel like the team is really comfortable with it, practicing it definitely helps, Hackenberg said. In the Indiana game we ran it in some points where it wasnt really a two-minute situation. We just wanted to speed the tempo up.
Against Michigan, Penn State had no choice.
And Hackenberg has already learned that off-field focus is critical to success. Hes an avid hunter and fisherman but admits its been tough to do any of that without a car in State College. So hes played more golf lately. His best nine-hole round? Hackenberg shot a 39 not long ago.
Hes not about to get cocky over that, either.
I dont know how I did it, Hackenberg said. I was on fire. That was pretty wild.
