ENGLEWOOD � The Denver Broncos are as complete a team as the NFL has to offer, with Peyton Manning�s pinpoint passes and Von Miller�s sack-strips setting the tone for a squad that hasn�t lost in two months.
Still, there are blemishes for these Broncos (10-3), whose quest for that proverbial complete game marches on through maladies � red zone stalls, pass protection pitfalls, coverage blunders � that could derail their dreams.
As coach John Fox said Friday after his team�s latest win, a methodical 26-13 beatdown of the Oakland Raiders on Thursday: �We still need to get better.�
Even though they�ve won eight in a row, they have a lengthy to-do list.
�Each week, there are little things we can tweak and fix,� linebacker D.J. Williams said.
To still be searching for that all-around game this time of year actually is a good thing, Manning insists. After all, what good does it do to peak before the playoffs?
�We�re still looking for that perfect four-quarter game, 60-minute game. I�m not sure if you want to play it early in the season. I think you hopefully want to find it somewhere in the month of December, maybe going into January,� Manning said.
The Broncos really haven�t been threatened in any game since their 35-point second-half onslaught at San Diego on Oct. 15 that thrust them into this prolonged tear. They nonetheless keep finding enough flaws to prevent them from getting big-headed.
�It�s hard for any team to run on all cylinders,� Fox said. �Everybody looks for that perfect game. You prepare for that perfect game no matter what phase. Very seldom do you reach that. We still need to get better. Guys have that mindset. We as a staff have that mindset. And we�ll see where it takes us.
�I know coming back after this little break we�re playing a very good team in Baltimore. So, it�ll be a good measuring stick of where we are.�
Even though the Broncos found a ground game to complement their passing prowess � Knowshon Moreno had a career-high 32 carries for 119 yards against the Raiders � there were enough problems popping up to keep the coaching staff busy over the long weekend as they prepare for their biggest game of the season Dec. 16 against the Ravens (9-3).
After scoring a touchdown on their opening drive, the Broncos� offense sputtered, turning the ball over at the goal line once and settling for field goals four other times while also scoring a touchdown on a 2-yard drive after Miller�s fifth forced fumble in five weeks.
�Kicking a field goal is not the worst thing ever, but there are going to be some times with those drives when we get great field position on offense, we need to score touchdowns,� tight end Jacob Tamme said.
Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas bemoaned the Broncos� inability to finish off drives, which is becoming a nasty habit.
�We�ve got some things to work on,� Thomas said. �We�ve got a great team coming up, and we�ve got to work on them a lot because we need touchdowns � not three points.�
The Broncos� final trip into the red zone didn�t produce a touchdown, either, but they didn�t mind as Manning took three kneel-downs after Moreno carried eight times from midfield to the Raiders� 8, forcing Oakland to use all three of its timeouts.
�I was really proud of that last drive,� Manning said. �I thought that was really something special. Probably more of a line coach�s dream. Probably not exciting for anybody doing fantasy (football).�
The Broncos have been emphasizing a better ground game for December, when weather becomes more of a factor but also because it will keep Manning�s play-action effective and his jersey clean.
Moreno has made the most of his promotion from the scout team to the starting lineup these last three weeks after Willis McGahee�s knee injury landed him on injured reserve. The Broncos are averaging more carries (31 to 27) and more yards (109 to 105), and their first downs rushing per game (6.3) are exactly the same as when McGahee was in the lineup.
It doesn�t always look pretty, though. Plenty of times, Manning has to tell Moreno where to line up � or even grab him by the jersey and shove him from one side to the other.
�I�ve got to give him a lot of credit. He�s been running the service team, scout team, for the majority of the season. All of a sudden he steps right in, our offense is evolving each week, we�re putting new stuff in, changing things, and he�s virtually had to learn on the run,� Manning said. �So, when you�re in the no-huddle, you can tell him what to do, he�s not sure. I just say, �Knowshon, ask me, make sure we�re on the same page.��
Denver�s defense has had its issues, too. The Broncos gave up pass plays of 58 and 56 yards Thursday night, the latter one for a catch-and-run touchdown toss from Carson Palmer to Darrius Heyward-Bey. This after allowing Tampa Bay to score 10 fourth-quarter points to turn a 31-13 lead into a ballgame.
�We�d like to put together four perfect quarters, but we�ve got some fighters in this room,� cornerback Champ Bailey said. �I�m proud of what we�ve done up to this point, but we obviously have to look back and see how much better we can be. When we do that as a group, the sky�s the limit for us.�
Players had Friday off after two physical games four days apart. Some came in for treatment such as Thomas, who caught five passes for 83 yards despite jamming his right shoulder just before halftime.
�He�s being evaluated. It doesn�t appear to be anything real serious. Hopefully, he�ll be ready Monday when we reconvene,� Fox said.
The Broncos have their share of 30-something veterans who sure can use the extra rest, Manning said.
�I think the guys are tired. You use these next three days to get your mental rest, your physical rest and to get recharged,� he said. �We�ve been on a pretty good run. We have some guys pretty beat up and mentally drained, as well.�

I've grown 'Torch' for years and enjoy it as a wonderful late bloomer for the back of the border. 'Yellow Torch' is as easy to grow as 'Torch,' just with bright yellow flowers. It's a real winner in my garden.

Debbie Yazbek/Coyne Public Relations
What do you feed a man who spent decades eating prison food in the name of freedom and reconciliation?
It was an intimidating question Xoliswa Ndoyiya wasn�t sure she knew how to answer. It was about 20 years ago and at the time she was just a young cook working at a Jewish retirement home in Johannesburg. But a friend had urged her to apply for the job as Nelson Mandela�s personal chef.
So she did. And when he met her, he immediately put her at ease.
�I believe that you are a great cook, but can you cook our food?� Ndoyiya said she was asked by Mandela, who had only recently been released from prison. It was a reference to the Xhosa foods Mandela had grown up eating, simple dishes rich with porridge-like maize, beans and vegetables.
Ndoyiya said she smiled. Yes, she knew ukutya kwasekhaya, the term South Africa�s Xhosa clan uses to describe comfort food.
�That was the end of the interview. I was hired,� she said. She has been with him ever since.
And now she is sharing the home cooking Mandela loves in a cookbook, Ukutya Kwasekhaya: Tastes from Nelson Mandela�s Kitchen (Real African Publishers), one of two recent books to use food as a fresh way to recount Mandela�s life from anti-apartheid fighter to prisoner to president to retired statesman.
Ndoyiya�s book, co-written with Anna Trapido, is a charming collection of mostly rustic, classic South African recipes, including many of Mandela�s childhood favorites, such as umngqusho, or crushed maize and beans cooked in beef stock.
�Tata (a South African term of affection used for Mandela) gets sad if days go by and I haven�t cooked umngqusho,� Ndoyiya writes in the book. Both books previously had been published in South Africa, but just now have been released in the U.S.
Trapido, a chef and food writer, also wrote her own book, Hunger for Freedom (Jacana Media), a more academic account of the role food has played throughout Mandela�s life, from his childhood and years in prison, to during and after his time as South Africa�s first black president.
Trapido unearthed fascinating, humanizing stories, including that of Mandela�s first meal after his release from prison. The timing of his release was so sudden, there had been no time to prepare. So it was decided at the last minute that Mandela (also often called Madiba, another term of affection) should dine at Archbishop Desmund Tutu�s home in Cape Town.
�We had no idea what (Madiba) liked to eat, so we thought, well, chicken is the safest thing, and I rushed to the nearest 7-Eleven,� Lavinia Crawford-Browne, Tutu�s personal assistant, recalls in the book. �I bought up every chicken piece I could find and a crate of Coke, which turned out not to be enough, and I had to go back.�

LEWISTOWN - Sometimes it's not what's on the outside, but what's on the inside that counts.
The same was true Monday evening as the hustle and bustle of dinner hour painted a familiar scene over downtown Lewistown - cars traveling through the square, parking lots filling with hungry patrons.
But on the inside of a locally-owned restaurant, lives were changing.
A small group of women gathered at a table nestled in the dining room of Danny's BBQ on the square. They called themselves "Joy Seekers" and explained their ministry as an outreach to women who have previously been incarcerated at the Mifflin County Correctional Facility.
"We have a heart to support and encourage other women," said Diane Snook, organizer.
She, along with other women from local churches, have organized a weekly Bible study to reach out to women who are adjusting to "normal" life again.
Virginia Renno, also present at the study, said she had visited the correctional facility numerous times with a group of volunteers from Locust Grove Mennonite Church in Belleville.
"We have a group of prayer warriors," she explained, who minister to inmates.
However, when the women are released from the facility, Renno said they may not know where to go for help and support.
That's where Joy Seekers comes in.
The Bible study provides "someone to share with and ask questions," said Carol Goss, who also attended the Monday evening gathering.
Joy Seekers meets at 6:30 p.m. Monday nights at Danny's BBQ on the square in Lewistown. Snook said meetings last about one hour and are open to women "wherever they're at in their life." She said some participants grew up in the church while others are new believers with little or no background in the church. The study is open to everyone and the topic each week caters to the needs of the women who attend. Since its conception in early July, the group has averaged four or more participants at each meeting.
Snook said the group meets in the downtown barbecue joint to provide a comfortable atmosphere for everyone involved.
"We're not here to get (participants) into a church," said Peggy Anderson, of Lewistown Assembly of God.
Instead, the women hope to reach former inmates in a neutral, relaxed atmosphere.
As the study grows, Snook said those seeking further guidance will have the option of being matched with a mentor. She said the mentor will work with the particiant on a one-on-one basis, futher personalizing the outreach.
"My desire would be to get (participants) into God's word on a daily basis," Renno said, adding that she hopes participants ultimately will grow in their faith and share it with someone else.
With that, she pulled a small plastic bag from her study materials, opened it and handed squares of magenta felt to everyone sitting at the table. They were nothing but scraps of cloth, "remnants," leftover from a larger piece. Renno said the word "remnant" is used in the beginning of Exodus.
"God has preserved a remnant of people," she explained, from the first day until now, who believe in Him, live by His word and share it with others.
Renno said she desires as many women as possible to understand and know God's love.
"They might feel like they're nothing," she said, looking back at the remnant of felt between her fingers.
But there is strength in numbers. Through Joy Seekers, she said, women can come together for greater purpose.
"You can take a whole lot of people and make a quilt out of it ..." she said.
Anderson highlighted Jeremiah 29:11, which reads, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"
"This is the most important thing we can teach anybody," Goss said.

On a typical Monday and Wednesday morning at the Edmunds Center, the Stetson volleyball team runs through an early two-and-a-half hour practice, even if the Hatters played a match the night before.
As the gym emptied out after Wednesday's session, senior libero Monique Russell asked to stay behind to work on her defense. With assistant coach Meghan Bryant spiking balls Russell's way and head coach Tim Loesch providing a block at the net, Russell played ball after ball to help sharpen her reflexes and improve her passing technique.
"She always wants to improve, and that's something I like about her," Loesch said. "She is a perfectionist, like me. She wants to dig every spike and pass every serve. That's a good thing, but she is also hard on herself, too. She wants to do better and is never satisfied."
That internal desire is a primary reason why, as Stetson prepares to host USC Upstate and ETSU this weekend, Russell finds herself on the verge of breaking the Stetson all-time record for digs. With 1,263 digs to her credit, the Hatter senior is just 25 away from breaking Melissa Roy's mark of 1,287, which has stood since 1997. What's more impressive is Roy's total came in the side-out scoring era, where the potential existed for longer matches and higher individual statistics. Russell's total has come in the rally scoring era, which the NCAA adopted back in 2000.
"I try not to think about the record, but it's hard when I have my dad texting me after a match to tell me 'I'm 40 away' or something like that," Russell said. "I think it would be nice to break it, but I would trade that in for wins for the rest of the season."
Since Russell's first collegiate match back at the start of the 2009 season, she has competed in all 101 of the Hatters' matches without missing a single one. That's quite an accomplishment considering diving after 30 balls a match and countless more during practice often leaves the defensive specialist with her share of aches and pains.
"I always have bruises, and I have knee problems, but I try and do preventable stuff in the training room so I don't have to miss any games," Russell said. "I tried to avoid going in for treatment as a freshman and sophomore, but now that I am older I feel like I have to go."
Born and raised in Phoenix, Ariz., Russell started playing volleyball back in grade school, when everyone played every position and her mom was her coach.
"That was a lot of fun," Russell said.
From there, she was hooked on the sport. She quickly realized what position she wanted to play.
"I've never really been a hitter, I've always played libero," Russell said. "I just loved diving around the floor and picking up the attackers' hard hits. That was the fun part for me."
Volleyball wasn't the only sport Russell competed in growing up; she also played basketball and softball. But the desert heat of Arizona made softball less desirable and it became pretty clear to Russell that volleyball was her true passion.
"I just love volleyball. I love the sport, I love everything about it," Russell said. "It's just a fun game. I think it's more about mental toughness and that's what I really enjoy. Volleyball is definitely a team sport. I can't do anything without the help of my teammates."
Russell attended St. Mary's High School in Phoenix, where her first coach, Melinda Espinoza, said she knew 'Moe' was special from the beginning.
"Moe worked hard, wanting to be the best and to be on the court at all times," Espinoza said. "She was quick and her passing was almost always perfect. When it was time for a water break, she rarely took a break. She would often say 'give me another one coach' or 'hey, bump with me'. She would even go to the racquetball courts and have her mom hit balls at her just to get more digging practice."
Part of a talented freshman class that played varsity for four years, Russell helped take St. Mary's to the Arizona state playoffs in 2005 and 2006. She earned first team all-region honors in 2007 and 2008. She also helped the Arizona Juniors Volleyball Club win two United States Volleyball Association Arizona Open region titles.
As a senior at St. Mary's, Russell played for coach Jackie Scaduzio, who also recognized Russell's talent and love of the sport.
"Monique was always very focused about her goals to play college volleyball," Scaduzio said. "She was an extremely consistent libero for our program. She really opened the door to volleyball club players here at Saint Mary's by being a role model of success. I am not surprised that she is on her way to break the digs record at Stetson."
The summer prior to her senior year, Russell traveled to Florida to visit her aunt and to attend a Stetson volleyball camp. She fell in love with the campus and verbally committed to then Stetson coach Cheryl Carlson.
"She and Maddie (Madison Anderson) both came to camp that year and really liked Stetson a lot," Carlson said. "We brought them back for official visits so they could meet the rest of the team, and they both decided to come here to school."
Even though Russell moved more than 2,000 miles away from where she grew up, she immediately felt right at home at Stetson.
"I just love this school," Russell said. "Coming from a small private school like St. Mary's, I love knowing everyone when I walk around campus, and getting one-on-one time with my professors. They know my name and I see them around campus all the time. I say hello to everyone. I just feel like this is a family here."
That family atmosphere throughout campus applies to the volleyball team at an even deeper level. Now in her fourth season with the Hatters, Russell says the friendships she has made with her Hatter teammates will last her a lifetime.
"I enjoy all the relationships I've made since I've been a freshman, I still have girls that I keep in contact with, and I know that I'll be keeping in contact with all these girls here. I just really enjoy all the cool people I've met and the fact that we are all from all over the country. I will be really excited to keep these friendships going."
Russell says after graduation she plans on attending graduate school and working towards a career in Art Therapy, a way for children to convey their emotions from a creative standpoint. But, before graduation and career plans are solidified, Russell's focus is on the rest of the season and getting the Hatters back on the winning track.
"I believe a lot in this team. I feel like we have a lot of talent, and I know we can get the job done. I think our time is coming. We do have a few things to figure out, but I have a lot of faith in this team and I know a lot of wins are going to come our way."

Andrew Brimblecombe - Estate Manager
Andrew began working at Gidleigh Park in 1995 as one of the gardening team, and in 2001 was promoted to Estate Manager.
Andrew has seen the estate grow over the years from approximately 47 to 107 acres as additional land was acquired, taking in more of the North Teign River, which runs through the estate in front of the house.
There have been many developments within the grounds during Andrew's time at Gidleigh Park, including the introduction of additional walks along the river banks, through the bluebell wood and the woodland itself. Andrew oversees the entire estate management but focuses primordially on the maintaining the water gardens, lawns and woodland. Within the estate there is a large terraced herb garden, which supplies the kitchen with fresh herbs, fruit and vegetables. There are also a number of flowerbeds, all of which are looked after by our assistant head gardener. Leaving the 18-hole putting course, two croquet lawns, tennis court and a bowls green, plus the terraces, hanging baskets and footpaths to be maintained by two further members of the team.
Andrew enjoys meeting guests of Gidleigh Park when they are out enjoying the grounds. "Nothing gives me more pleasure than exchanging gardening hints and tips with like-minded guests. I enjoy being a part of the developing estate and grounds, seeing it mature, clearing overgrown forgotten corners of the property and watching nature and the wildlife within the grounds flourish."

July 08, 2013 Priceless, old-growth heart pine flooring was stolen from St. James Catholic Church in the early hours of Saturday morning, June 29. The wooden floor was salvaged during renovation of their school house to be used in the contruction of a new altar for the historic, black church. For more than a decade, the church has been working to renovate the school building. Rebuilt after a fire in the 1930s, it educated the community's youth until it was deemed unfit for use in the 1970s.

If you have an eReader device and want to learn how to use it better – or, if you are thinking of buying one of the devices or a tablet computer – then the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library has a program for you.
A series of new "open labs" for people looking to learn how to use eReaders will be offered across the county in coming weeks, library officials said.
The labs are free and do not require pre-registration.
Participants are invited to drop in, and will be assisted in the order of arrival. Participants should bring a valid library card – and those who do not have cards can apply for library cards, at no cost, before attending the sessions.
The dates and times of some upcoming labs are as follows:
• Nov. 2, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Aurora Town Library, 550 Main St., East Aurora – this will be an "open lab" event, for patrons to bring their own eReader devices and receive one-on-one assistance.
• Nov. 27, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., in the Lancaster Library, 5466 Broadway, Lancaster – this will be another "open lab" event.
• Dec. 11, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., in the Clearfield branch library, 770 Hopkins Road, Amherst – this is another "open lab" session.
• Nov. 14, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., in the Central Library, One Lafayette Square in downtown Buffalo.
This will be a "technology petting zoo" event, at which library patrons will not have to bring their own eReader devices but instead can "test drive" a variety of eReaders and tablets provided by the library staff members.
• Dec. 8, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Kenmore branch library, 160 Delaware Road, Kenmore – this is another "technology petting zoo" event and no devices are required from patrons.
Also at the events, library staff will be able to provide handouts with product reviews, to assist participants with understanding eReader options.
The collection of the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library now contains more than 13,600 eBook volumes in all genres, which are available for cardholders to borrow, library officials noted.
For more information on eBooks or the lab sessions, visit the library system's website, www.buffalolib.org.

WASHINGTON – Western New York is likely to soon get its first-ever female federal judge.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., announced Tuesday that he is recommending that President Obama nominate Elizabeth A. Wolford, a Buffalo native and Rochester attorney, for the post.
Wolford would serve in Rochester, where she would succeed U.S. District Judge Charles J. Siragusa, who retired in December.
"One of my goals was to elevate a woman to the federal bench in Western New York, and Elizabeth would not only do that, but, more importantly, she has all the right skills and intellect to be an insightful, modest and well-respected judge," Schumer said.
Wolford is a partner at the Wolford Law Firm LLP in Rochester, where she represents clients in both federal and state courts in business and employment litigation.
"She forged a distinguished legal career and built a very successful practice, but her sense of public service and love of the law has motivated her to bring her talents to the bench," Schumer said.
Wolford, born in Buffalo in 1966, was raised in Rochester and currently lives in Honeoye Falls.
She is a graduate of Colgate University and the University of Notre Dame Law School.
The president traditionally takes the recommendations of the state's senators when picking federal judges, and aides to Schumer said they expect the Senate to confirm Wolford's appointment without controversy.
Wolford does not have a long history of political involvement. A search of her political donations found that she had made campaign contributions to one politician – Rep. Louise M. Slaughter, D-Fairport – in recent years. Slaughter received $4,972 from Wolford between 2002 and 2012.

Only a few weeks remain for some families to cross off physicals and other health screenings from the back-to-school to-do list.
Health departments, doctors' offices and places such as Crusader Community Health are filling up with appointments as the start of school draws near.
Rockford School District will again exclude students from the first day of school Aug. 25 if they haven't met all of the health screening requirements.
The goal of first-day exclusion is to prepare kids for school before they get there, said Mary Weyand, supervisor for family health services at the Winnebago County Health Department.
The state requires schools to exclude students after Oct. 15 if they haven't met certain health screening requirements. Rockford officials last year decided to exclude from the first day rather than wait so far into the first semester.
Dental exams are required before May 2015 in Rockford.
Kathy Olson, Crusader's dental director, said fewer Rockford children than expected were excluded from the first day of school last year. The school district has not provided specific numbers. Crusader worked with the district to get appointments for those students, and many were back in school within 48 hours.
The health department will host its fifth annual Back-to-School Health Clinic Aug. 13 to help families meet the school requirements. Spokeswoman Sue Fuller said the clinic sees about 100 students each year.
The clinic offers school and sport physicals, immunizations, dental exams, and lead, vision and hearing screenings. The clinic is open to all students, and some services are discounted for Medicaid patients and families with other income restrictions.
The new school-based health center at Auburn High School is slated to open in September. Officials had initially hoped it would be open in time for back-to-school physicals and screenings, but the project experienced minor construction delays.
Consent forms for the new health center will be included with registration this year.
Health officials are encouraging parents to make appointments for physicals and health screenings for their children as soon as possible. While Rockford students return to school Aug. 25, the start date for Harlem School District is Aug. 13, Belvidere's is Aug. 18 and Freeport's is Aug. 19.
Crusader officials encourage families to make back-to-school appointments with their pediatric provider so care is most consistent, said Linda Niemiec, vice president of development, but patients also have access to a pediatric walk-in clinic that's open weekdays.
New on the immunization front this year is that students entering kindergarten through 12th grades must show proof of two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccination. Weyand said this will mostly affect students from outside the U.S. She said most students likely have already received the two doses.
Page 2 of 2 - Students entering kindergarten and sixth and ninth grades need to show proof of a second dose of varicella, or the chickenpox vaccine. Again, most physicians already offer this, Weyand said.
The hepatitis B vaccine used to be required for students entering fifth grade, but now the requirement applies to incoming sixth-graders. Many requirements are based on students entering kindergarten, sixth and ninth grades, so Weyand said health officials continue to try to group new requirements into those grade levels.
Weyand said the health department is also trying to encourage parents to get their children the meningitis vaccine, which will be required starting next year.

Oops, something didn't work.
I agree - tough decisions were made. But it's good that they made them. Assuming Longhorn were to be unchanged, we'd only get a client OS in 2007 with lesser versions of all the new features. Now we get a solid OS in 2006 and 2007, and the cool features
get to be backwards compatible. For an independent/hobby developer like me, waiting two or three years is a lot like waiting three or four. It's still way in the future, so another year to me is just a drop in the bucket so to speak.
I'm a little angry that there's no WinFS in Longhorn anymore, but the fact that you guys aren't going to release it until it's totally done (and that you haven't clipped it entirely) makes me happy again.
Like I said - tough decisions that had to be made. Here's to the Longhorn team for having the guts to make them!

It's a little saddening to see LH be in such limbo but the decisions made were unavoidable if we really wanted to see LH in this decade. The idea of bringing Avalon and Indigo to XP is a great idea since it will give XP a much needed refresh.
Porting back Avalon to Windows XP/2003 is misguided attempt. Even though would be "available" for download, few would choose to download and install it. And thus, it would only be guaranteed that Longhorn users can run Avalon applications. For example look at .NET Framework 1.0/1.1, few average users have it on their computers, and it has been "available" for few years now.
Besides, Avalon would need powerful machine, and graphics capabilities, which most XP machines (including those bought in 2001 when XP came out) do not have the muscle to make Avalon shine.
Indigo on XP/2003 is good idea, as a common communication infrastructure across all windows machines, but Avalon on XP/2003, big mistake. It will only add to complexity and consume time and resources from other more important developments.
I am questioning how many people would benefit from Avalon on Windows XP? Yes, there maybe
some now saying "cool", but two years from now – hardware will change, and many probably will get new PC with Longhorn in the box.
As for Avalon on Server (2003), it is not that essential. Probably if you got Server 2003, one is using not for the esthetic looks, but rather for hosting varies services. If someone wants full power of Avalon (mostly power-users) then they would get Longhorn.
Microsoft move forward, not backward.
I really want to know how you can ship a file-system after the fact. Really, can you imagine if NTFS had been shipped in Windows 2000 SP2.
I think this new file system sounds like a load of rubbish but that isn't really the point, you can't release it as another update and expect people to just update their systems. Not to mention that if they do this update and use their original installation media to re-install they will lose their data!
In *my* opinion you should drop it from the longhorn client completely. Don't even try and release it later. The server version is fine but make sure it isn't a patch and is there for us on release day.
Hardcore release dates means they will drop some testing or re-testing. So when you first boot longhorn make sure to run Windows Update because I guarantee there will be something waiting for you.
This thing might go belly up; I can definitely see that happening. People might look back and say 'If Microsoft had delayed but taken the time to make a solid product they wouldn't have lost to Linux' - This has happened before, go google for OS/2. And everyone knows history repeats its self.
scobleizer wrote:As to OS/2: that failed because there weren't any applications for it.
Here's a hint: Longhorn will run all apps that run on Windows XP. Lots of apps means that OS/2's problems won't revisit. At least Longhorn won't fail for those reasons.
scobleizer wrote:Manip2: WinFS was never a replacement for NTFS, it always sat on top of (and used) an existing file system.
So, it could be shipped later. Very easily.

This motivation similar to one used for separation of Winter and Summer Olympics.
This is pretty smart move.
Microsoft already releases their software on annual basis. Service packs always add new features (in constast with legendary "no new features in service packs" promise).
But pay-us-for-upgrade versions ('major' releases) become rare.
This is smart move to separate client and server releases in different financial years. This way business can pay twice (once for clients and once more for servers).
I think that Microsoft will have to release Service Pack (free upgrade) for Longhorn clients in the same time they release Longhorn Servers.
Just like in was for WinXP SP1 and Windows 2003.
As for trimming features - this was expected taking in account announced delays. They were able to release Service Pack or stand-alone applications for WinXP/2003 with new technologies or bundle part of them in new (but trimmed from original expectations) OS version. They decided to do both.

In order to deliver Longhorn's innovations to customers as quickly as possible, we now intend to deliver WinFS after the initial availability of Longhorn client. We continue to be committed to WinFS. It is expected to beta when Longhorn client is broadly available.

scobleizer wrote:BOFH: interesting, I didn't think that Glass needed the DCE. Allchin, yesterday, announced that Glass will be on the 2006 version of Longhorn.
Tom Servo wrote:
BOFH wrote: stuff... DCE, DWM, Avalon, etc.
Actually, there was a small discussion about that on Joe Bedas blog sometime ago.
The gist: DCE doesn't exist anymore, it's been merged with the application layer compositor and is called UCE (universal composition engine). The DWM will thus use the same compositor as the Avalon application. And furthermore, the UCE _is_ part of Avalon. So Aero (Glass) requires Avalon in one way or another.
BUT... the UCE can run in software mode. So it'll be likely that the WindowsXP build of Avalon will run in software mode inside the application, and some lower layer XP specific code will use GDI and User32 for display and input, instead of an desktop UCE on top of LDDM/D3D and whatever will do the input on Longhorn.
Now regarding WinFS, currently it is built on top of NTFS, but since it currently also supports static folder structures defined inside the store, filesystem semantics are supplied. Thus I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to merge WinFS and NTFS for a post-Longhorn operating system (WinFS V2). Just drop an additional bitmap into the data file (next to the free page bitmap) that tells the filesystem driver which pages are used for data structures and which for filestreams. I'd rather want to see an unified filesystem than some piggyback thingymajic on longterm.
Tom Servo wrote:The big slide makes it hard to read your comments, since I'm running the browser windowed. And what I said actually referred to text in a comment section of a blog of a MS employee, not this slide, though the post was related to it.
And I don't see how I'm "not exactly wrong". Maybe I wasn't too clear with all that acronym soup, but the point I wanted to make is that the lower layer abstractions for XP and Longhorn will be different. On Longhorn the window surfaces will be handed over to the DWM (which is dependent on Avalon again) and on XP they'll be handed over to some code that draws using GDI. Add some input handling thinking here. Additionally what I've wanted to say is that the UCE is an Avalon component afterall, since you made it sounds like it's a Longhorn thing only, and will be available in the XP version of Avalon, since it needs to composite the window surfaces, it's just not used for desktop composition.
With this announcement I'm not entirely surprised by the loss of WinFS, but what I am surprised about it Microsoft's inability to properly architect a software development model where resources are effectively utilized.
While I don't like the concept of outsourcing, India is teeming with inexpensive experienced developers. It would do Microsoft well to tap in this market and just exploit the engineering capabilities of having an entire engineering unit focused on Longhorn. Let me be clear I'm not for a second claiming that it's a good idea to just throw more people at the problem. Clearly IBM wins with thousands more employees and yet 'tiny' Microsoft beats them quite heartly.
But I'm surprised that following the completion of major work on Windows XP in 2000 and early 2001 that Microsoft was unable to go hardcore for Longhorn. From my personal insight, MS developers were hard pressed to even consider a "Longhorn story" because they had to immediately get working on Server 2003 yesterday.
Indeed Microsoft developers were fraught with the issue of architecting Server 2003 much more rapidly than had been anticipated. Market conditions shifted rapidly with the post dot-com boom and so the "do more with less" mantra reigned supreme (Many of the amazing server technologies were cut back or jettisoned altogether). But as work on Server 2003 progressed rapidly and Service pack 1 was thrown together (a collection of patches nothing more), Microsoft was hit with their "Security" complex. Yes Bill's "Trustworthy Computing Initiative" began to seep into the veins of every presenter, coder, and PM and so SP2 was born. But at the PDC in 03' I attended, I was wholly surprised by the continued emphasis that what I was looking at and indeed what was being demoed was "PRE-Alpha" bits. From the plans that leaked about Longhorn in 04' and Blackclomb in 2007 or 2008, what I saw left me wondering if Microsoft could pull off a new Client OS. The PDC clearly showed that the .NET and security initiatives at Microsoft were well underway, the .NET 2.0 was beginning to flex its muscles, but the client OS wasn't really developed (it was there but almost infantile in being articulated).
But what struck me most was that Ciaro hadn't landed in the dustbin, WinFS was alive and kicking and would be "amazing". Yes WinFS will be amazing when in ships but ISV movement and market adoption of the technology won't appear until I suspect 2010(Just a mere 3 years after the Longhorn server is released with WINFS). Now the PM's will argue that 2010 is too far off given the wide scale beta of WINFS in 2006. But with the launching of the .NET initiative in 00' it wasn't really until 2003 when ISV's began to drink the .NET coolaid, so it's reasonable to expect a 2010 WINFS adoption timeline. Given that adoption timeline I think we'll be seeing Blackcomb in 2010 and the marketing "hype" will be around its WINFS story.
But back on point, Microsoft's approach to software development under the guidance of Bill Gates as the Chief Software Architect has changed dramatically. If you look at the office story that has developed from Office XP to Office 2003 the difference speaks volumes about how Bill Gates now views the software development model(It's a platform, it's a service model, it's componentized). Moreover, the Microsoft product development cycle is much more developer focused, more ambitious, more and much longer. Indeed I believe that the difference is based upon the drive to get more research projects into shipping products. However, the MS devs just don't have resources, man power, or time to work cohesively with Bill's "research driven focus". This is why in the last 4 years there have been such growing pains inside Microsoft. SP2 and the Springboard researched technologies highlighted the drive to use research's gains in shipping products. So while JoeSixPack doesn't see the difference between SP2 and XP the research guys are ecstatic about the changes and improvements to the code base and MS methodologies. The trade off is that as Microsoft becomes more researchesque(ex. Bill's drive to see patent filings double in 2005), short term initiatives to get shipping products out the door become drastically harder. So what's my idea with utilizing India? Well..
Given Microsoft's financial standings, could it hurt Microsoft to use it's recently hired 3000 Indian employees to create a short term Client OS? Sure it would never be RTMed but they could be focused on the shorterm and distant from Bill's grandiose plans and they would allow MS to have a continued pipeline of Client OSes. Basically, ship the shorterm OS creation over to India, let them work on that story, and then have a meshing with the long-term research done here in the US. I know it's not perfect and it's just tossing the idea around, but seriously think of your list of 100 annoying things in XP. Just imagine every year that list of 100 annoyances going away while in concert with long-term research based improvements such as search, file structures, etc. The OS experience rapidly improving and the fundamentals being worked on long term. [For example, why was the SP2 themed taskbar and color scheme cut, it's an annoyance that is easily addressed without the long-term research needed into a theming engine such as DCE, or UCE).
Again, I'm not surprised by this announcement and I still think quality should have been the driver until it was RTM(What happened to Bill saying that it didn't matter if Longhorn took until 2007 so long as it was a quality driven release?[MS has the financial capability to go something like 5 years without turning on a single product if they needed to]).
. I'll leave with this one last question, having listened to PM's and Devs I've heard them taking about the cutting of features for longhorn and their placement into the Blackcomb client OS, so what's up with Blackcomb? What's the developing story between the new Shorthorn, and the Long-term Blackcomb? If features are being cut as they inevitability will in software development projects, what's research working on for the post '06 Client OS story?

First off: NT's had a robust IFS model since NT 3.1. It was designed into the original product. So there's no technical issue with shipping a filesystem after the product. I believe that NT 3.1 filesystems still run on XP (they might not, don't quote me on this one).
Secondly: WinFS IS NOT A FILESYSTEM!!! It's a storage system for file metadata. The WINFS store is a file in a directory on an NTFS partition. It's NOT a filesystem in its own right. You don't put files in WinFS, you put file metadata in WinFS.
There's a BIG difference.

So basically it is a database about your computer?
This is still gonna be a good OS. But why can't you release Longhorn Server and Longhorn client, at the same time?
Avalon and Indigo should be in Windows Server 2003 and XP. I like playing all the latest games, and I don't want my desktop taking up my GPU power. Making my performance go lower and have to buy more faster GPU's. I think other gamers will agree, they will not really like this OS. Besides even if you want to have that latest card. Your games are still gonna run faster and more reliable on XP.
Diego: the Dogme thing is good! I'd take it.

Okay, basically, nothing's really changed... if you go back far enough. Back during the Whistler beta, the roadmap was quite simple - Whistler, followed by Blackcomb. The specifications for Blackcomb were laid down, UI prototypes and concepts were created and demoed at the Financial Analysts meeting by Steve Guggenheimer, and Blackcomb was all set to become the next major client release of Windows.

Actually, I think you got some of the fine points of the Avalon graphics architecture wrong here. Avalon does include the rendering and compositing engine. The DWM is being built on parts of the Avalon platofrm.
crispybit wrote:I just find it hilarious how people are saying that LH is going down the tubes, JUST BECAUSE MS removed winFS from the inital release of LH which as many people on here stated, IS NOT, I repeat IS NOT a "File System",
Trying to catch up on a bunch of WinFS stuff in this thread:
WinFS is a metadata store for things are currently files, but is a primary store for things that are not usually currently files (contacts, mail, appointments, tasks, schedules, annotations, etc.).
I won't make any definitive grandiose statements about what a filesystem is or isn't, but WinFS stores files, stores regular non-file data, and stores meta-data, as those terms are commonly understood. It responds to fopen/fwrite of path based names so in my book it's a file system.
Generally, Larry's overview is decent--it just misses the non-file stuff that ends up in WinFS via your mail application, your scheduler, your event planner app, your list manager, etc.
WinFS does take advantage of the NT file system driver structure to provide those services. We actually store the filestreams of file typed items as streams just like in NTFS (but with some extra stuff to handle transactions). We store non-file data just like SQL Server does (well, like most like SQL as of Yukon, although we have a couple of finely tuned advancements beyond Yukon's serialization formats).
WinFS is based on SQL Server of course, and the SQL Server code is mostly native C++. SQL also provides a hosted CLR environment for managed programming in the store. WinFS client is implemented in two halves: as a set of enhancements to the store written in C++, C# and T/SQL and as a set of specialized objects that provide the basic CRUD operations via O-R mapping, exposes a model for transactions, query (opath), business logic, query notification, cursoring, Rules composition, sync adapter API's and so on. This part is almost completely written in C#, although some bits are actually generated C# in a data-driven way from XML.
The first part of that (CRUD) is the part that's similar to ObjectSpaces. We have not yet figured out what the change means to the ObjectSpaces plan and we'll have to work that out as we get settled into the new logistics.
Those of you expressed anger, sadness, anxiousness and anticipation about WinFS: thanks. We are still working very hard on this project and it means a lot to know there are customers that want us to get it done and get it done right.
Samuel Druker
Edit: I think scobleizer already pointed here, but just in case
Manip2: WinFS is a layer on top of NTFS, not a replacement. You aren't going to lose any data, it will just be a wonderful layer for developers and WinFS-aware applications (e.g. Windows Explorer, Outlook Express, and ISV apps).

Nearly eight years ago, Alice Boland stood in line at a Canadian airport and got irritated. The U.S. Customs checks were taking too long.
Public information
Charleston police declined to release details of a receipt and business card found in Alice Boland's vehicle that could indicate where she purchased a pistol. First, spokesman Charles Francis said, the police want federal agents to verify the information.But Jay Bender, an attorney for the S.C. Press Association, said the department's argument that another agency's investigation allows it to withhold a report is not consistent with state information laws. He cited a S.C. Supreme Court case in which North Charleston police were ordered to release a video at the center of state agents' investigation of an officer-involved shooting.To read the state's Freedom of Information Act, go to postandcourier.com/foia.
She blurted threats, first to Montreal police officers, according to U.S. court documents. Then she blamed President George W. Bush for the inconvenience.
Bishop England security
Bishop England High on Daniel Island announced new security measures Thursday, including:Classroom locks allowing teachers to secure doors from inside.More video cameras.Police officers invited to come and go.Computer-controlled locks on exterior and some interior doors.Parents required to push button for entrance, then show ID.Campus secured at 4 p.m. Students remaining must be with staffer.
"I am going to kill President Bush with a gun," she said, according to an arrest affidavit. "Just give me a gun. I am going to come back and shoot you all."
The 2005 episode resulted in a federal indictment and a judge's order for Boland to undergo psychiatric evaluation. Doctors deemed her mentally unfit to stand trial and forcefully injected her with anti-psychotic drugs.
She pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to the felony charge of threatening the president. Four years later, the case was dropped.
But how Boland, 28, legally bought a handgun, as police said, and used it to try to shoot Ashley Hall school officials this week remained unknown Thursday. She squeezed the trigger, police said, but the gun didn't fire.
Her history of mental illness would not have raised flags during a background check when she bought the gun days before Monday's incident. That's because, a federal official said, she was never convicted of a felony.
It's also still unclear whether Boland had disclosed her past in a questionnaire required to purchase the pistol.
Boland's case factors into a national discourse reignited in December, when gunman Adam Lanza fatally shot 26 people at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. Some critics have asked whether laws should make it more difficult for people with histories of mental illness to buy firearms.
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is still investigating how Boland bought the gun. Federal charges are possible.
"Those health issues are just not linked to the computer system," said Earl Woodham, a regional spokesman for the ATF who added that federal privacy laws also guard the data. "There's no way on a background check to link them."
Charleston Mayor Joe Riley called Boland's case a "glaring example of the weakness in our national and state gun-acquisition policy."
He called for a universal national database that culls both criminal and mental health records.
"How close that mentally ill person came to killing innocent people at a school in this city is absolutely awful," Riley said Thursday. "The fact that she could acquire a gun is terrible."
Threats to kill
Boland's run-in with authorities in Quebec came on May 14, 2005, four days after her 21st birthday.
She had been visiting Quebec City and was preparing to fly home.
"Give me a gun," she first told police officers, according to the affidavit. "I am going to kill you."
After her volleys against the president, officers arrested her, and she was taken to a Canadian hospital for psychiatric evaluation, the arrest affidavit stated. She was released that day on the promise that she would later appear in court.
Boland flew back to the United States five days later with her father.
Days later, deputies and John Kenney, resident agent in charge of the Secret Service in Charleston, visited Boland at her Beaufort home.
Kenney reported that Boland loudly repeated her threats during an interview.
"Hell yes I would shoot (Bush)," she said, according to the affidavit. "I would shoot him and the entire U.S. Congress. ... If I had a gun I would shoot you too."
Kenney told her that making threats toward the president is a felony. She didn't seem to mind.
"I'll go to Washington and I'll shoot him dead and if you get in my way, I'll shoot you too," she said, according to the papers. "I'll go wherever he is and find him and kill him. I'll kill Senator (Robert) Byrd and Senator (Hillary) Clinton and all those people and think nothing of it."
Boland told Kenney that she would get two guns from the house, the document stated. The guns were said to be an air rifle and a pellet pistol.
Even as authorities handcuffed her, she yelled more threats, kicked her father and scratched a deputy, according to the affidavit. She later "repeated her desire to kill the president" as she was booked into jail, the document stated.
Reached by telephone Thursday, Kenney said he could not comment on case facts, but he said, "We took her seriously enough that we arrested her and took her case to federal court."
Threats do not usually result in an indictment, he added, because such cases are often resolved through mental-health counseling or agreements to take medication.
Court orders
Nearly three weeks after her arrest, a federal grand jury indicted Boland on the charge that carries up to five years in prison.
The following months consisted of court orders and filings by her parents, Donald and Delann Boland.
A judge first sent Boland to Federal Medical Center Carswell in Texas, a prison facility that tends to female mental patients. There, Dr. William Pederson ruled that she was mentally incompetent and that she needed drugs if she were ever to stand trial.
Pederson was permitted, under a court order, to forcefully inject her with drugs. He talked of the anti-psychotic medications Trileptal and Risperdal.
But Boland's parents balked. They fought for Boland's return to the Lowcountry.
Risperdal, they argued in court papers, caused side effects: involuntary limb movements, talking to herself, excessive sleeping, possible diabetes. They were speaking from experience, they said. They had already tried Risperdal, which cost $2,400 a month.
Her parents revealed more of Boland's medical past. They wrote that she had spent three weeks at Charleston's Medical University Hospital in the early 2000s. She was given 25 medications, but nothing worked.
They said she had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and Asperger syndrome, or mild autism.
Her parents added that natural and nutritional methods, not medications, were the only treatments that helped. During past periods of being "cured," they wrote, she was able to go back to "colleges." One of those schools was the College of Charleston.
After Boland's stint at the Texas facility, she was transferred to Palmetto Behavioral Health in North Charleston. Later, her parents took her home.
Gun probe
Boland is accused of showing up Monday at Ashley Hall, pointing a .22-caliber Taurus at a school official and pulling the trigger. The pistol was loaded, but it didn't fire because no bullet was in the chamber.
She faces charges of attempted murder and other weapons violations.
Charleston police declined to answer further questions about how and when Boland got the gun.
Spokesman Charles Francis said the department was waiting for the ATF to verify information found in Boland's vehicle.
The documents included a receipt and an ATF "transaction record" in which she had to answer whether she had ever been committed to a mental institution.
Woodham, the ATF spokesman, said federal agents were tracing the handgun's history.
Despite the court documents detailing Boland's history, authorities would not comment on whether her past would put her on a list of people prohibited from buying a pistol.
If she had lied on the transaction record, Boland could face charges of falsifying a government document, Woodham said, or being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm.
"But even though she has mental issues," he said, "she may not be disqualified."

A change of venue was denied Monday for a Milwaukee man accused of shooting and killing his 13-year-old neighbor.
John Spooner's attorney also requested a change in date for the jury trial to begin. It will now start May 6 instead of March 11.
Spooner, 76, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the death of Darius Simmons in May.
Spooner told police he thought Simmons stole guns from his south side home.
Spooner will undergo a competency hearing. A doctor's report is scheduled to be returned on Feb. 4.

The Makena Golf Course will be closing Sunday for multimillion-dollar renovations with plans to reopen with an "upgraded 18-hole course" in the first quarter of next year, according to the management company of the Makena Beach & Golf Resort.
"Plans include for design elements to be true to the natural beauty of Makena with its kiawe forest, indigenous trees, ancient rock formations and natural streams," said Shawn Sweeney, president of The Landmark Hotels Group, which manages the resort.
Robert Trent Jones Jr., who designed two 18-hole courses for the Makena Resort, will not be involved in the redesign, Glynis Esmail, spokeswoman for Landmark Hotels, said Friday. No golf course designer has been hired yet, and no final details on the redesign have been approved, she said.

DENISE HOOPAI, has been promoted to hotel manager
DECLAN McCARTHY, has been promoted to general manager
"The most attractive aspects" of the golf course will be retained, she said, adding that the changes will make the 18 holes "one of the top golf courses on Maui."
Esmail noted that Jones designed both the North and South courses. The South Course was considered the higher caliber layout "with the greater attributes" but was shut down in 2008, she said. Measuring 7,017 yards, the South Course opened in 1993, according to http://hawaiigolfcom.
The new 18-hole course will use the footprint of the old courses, she said.
Esmail added that during the redesign none of the golf shop or maintenance staff will be laid off.
Cafe on The Green at the golf course will remain open daily for lunch, afternoon snacks and early dinner throughout the golf course redesign, Sweeney said. The hotel's shuttle will take guests and patrons from the hotel to the restaurant.
The redesign of the golf course is part of the next phase of the makeover of the Makena Beach & Golf Resort, formerly the Maui Prince, according to the news release from Landmark. All 310 guest rooms and suites in the hotel were remodeled with the work completed in January 2012, hotel officials said.
In other news from the hotel announced earlier this month, Declan McCarthy has been promoted to general manager of the Makena Resort. He replaces Carmine Iommazzo, who was named hotel manager of the Kahala Resort on Oahu.
McCarthy has been part of the management of the Makena hotel for the past 18 years. Under Landmark, he was part of the team that worked on the hotel's multimillion-dollar rooms makeover project.
Denise Hoopai has been promoted to hotel manager, McCarthy's old position. Hoopai has been front office manager at Makena for the past five years and was previously with The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui.

Does anyone else think that Polina K was robbed on PCS? She was 4/5 marks lower than Leonova/Markova/Helgesson, if she was marked at their level she would be 2nd.
Over the years have become a fan of Kostner and while her technical content is not as hard as it could be she is a real joy to watch. While Korpi is a beautiful skater, her jumps ability is a long way behind the top ladies, was that free deserving of 105? Not sure where Elene G came from, what a turnaround from earlier in the season, Orser is working well for her.
Dissapointed for Leonova. After her great performances in the grand prix series and bronze in the grand prix final beating both of the russian wonderbabes in the process, she performed poorly here. Never would have her as the 3rd Russian. Makarova performed better than I expected, still not a big fan of the free but it was well above what we seen earlier in the year. Well done to the Helgessons both in the top 10, does that make it 3 Swedes next year?
hope they will give Polina better PCS by Worlds, pity had she been credited with her full PCS mark and clean SP, she would have won the silver medal.
I would have: 1) Kostner, 2) Polina, 3) Korpi/Helgesson, 5)Gede.
I think Kostner's score for LP was too high (especially compared to Polina). I loved Polina! Everything about her, including that gorgeous dress.
Normally I am not a fan of Helgesson and Korpi, but their programs caught my interest tonight. Although I still think that Korpi did not deserve score that high for her LP.
It was Elene's best outing, no doubt about it, but she had 2 mistakes in her spins and two-footed landing. She should be 5th.
I enjoy Polina's skating very much. One thing that bothers me is whether she will be big and heavy in the future. She is very tall for her age but quite slim. She looks great now. But will she fill out soon? Then she may have problem landing /fully rotating her jumps. I hope not.

Drury Lane Theatre, London
Note that Cleopatra wears a fashionable eighteenth-century lady's costume, totally in contrast with later attempts such as Tree's to develop historically plausible costumes. "Roscius Anglicanus" describes how plays around this time came to be so very richly clothed: we find the famous Mrs. Barry acting Queen Elizabeth in the coronation robes of James II's queen, who had before presented the actress with her wedding suit. Mrs. Barry is said to have given her audience a strong idea of Queen Elizabeth. Mrs. Bellamy played Cleopatra in a silver tissue "birthday" dress that had belonged to the Princess of Wales." Many of these elaborate court costumes finished up in Madame Tussaud's exhibition, already sited in Baker Street.

Women and Children First? Hardly Ever HappensMadeline Holler
Look, I don't want to ruin the family cruise. I just want to share a little information about survival rates in the very, very rare chance that your ship starts going down. When the alarm bells ring, don't count on the rallying cry of women and children first at the lifeboats. Instead, clear the way for the captain and the crew. Because that captain? He ain't going down with the ship.
Some Swedish economists decided to look into who really makes it to shore during shipwrecks — modern ones and some all the way back into the mid-1800s. (The crunched the numbers for the Titanic, too. We'll get to that in a second.)
Authors Mikael Elinder of Sweden's Uppsala University and Oscar Erixson of the Research Institute of Industrial Economics in Stockholm looked at 18 different shipwrecks and found hardly any evidence of men insisting women and children go first. In fact, they crunched the numbers and found crew members had the highest survival rates at 61 percent. Captains made it out safely 41 percent of the time and male passengers had a 37 percent survival rate. Women made it to shore an abysmal 27 percent of the time and those who did survive had their hearts broken over the tragic 15 percent survival rate of children.
They found some exceptions and, cue the Celine Dion, the Titanic disaster was one of them. The ship's crew made women and children the priority, researchers found. From the Los Angeles Times:
"On the Titanic, the survival rate of women was more than three times higher than the survival rate of men," wrote study authors Elinder and Erixson.
The other exception was the British troopship the Birkenhead which sank in 1852 off the coast of South Africa. From the LA Times:
The vessel was carrying hundreds of British military personnel and their families when it struck a rock and began to sink in shark-infested waters. The ship lacked sufficient lifeboats, so commanders ordered that they be filled with women and children. The men were ordered to stand on deck and not attempt to swim for the lifeboats as the ship sank.
Like the Titanic, the disaster became the subject of numerous songs, stories and paintings. And the so-called Birkenhead Drill became a symbol of English stoicism and valor in face of almost certain death.
The study, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, did not include the Contra Costa shipwreck from last year when the Italian captain notoriously abandoned the sinking vessel while passengers were still aboard and 32 people killed.
There's no actual law that women and children have priority over men, just something that came out of the Birkenhead disaster and ignored ever since.
Are you surprised?

A dramatic example of this effect occurred in Thailand, where, as soon as parents realized that future economic status was linked to the secondary schooling (which is expensive in Thailand), the fertility rate dropped from about 6 to 2 in a decade!

If the season continues like it has the first couple of weeks, we are in for a wild ride. Upsets and let downs have appeared in most big games so far. This week will hopefully shake the lacrosse world back into alignment.
Friday March 6, 8:00pm: Princeton at UMBC
UMBC is 3-1 with no wins over ranked teams and one loss to Hopkins.
Princeton is 2-0 with a win over #10 Hopkins.
UMBC has been putting up a lot of points this year averaging 13.8 goals per game. The Retrievers are led by Peet Poillon (8,10), Kyle Wimmer (11,4), and Alex Hopmann (11,1). Wimmer has stood out not only putting up 15 points, but also winning 6 of 9 face offs and scooping up the most 19GBs. If only the rest of the team had as much effort as Wimmer. The Retrievers are picking up less GBs and winning a lot less face offs than their opponents (36%).
Princeton is enjoying a year with not only their signature stingy defense but also an offense putting up 14 goals per game. As one would expect, the Tigers' defense and clock management have been superb. Opponents are averaging 25 shots per game…that's not on goal, but overall. Only 17 shots per game are getting through to the goalie.
On the hustle aspect, Princeton has picked up 20 more GBs (10 per game) than their opponents. Their face off abilities are just slightly over the 52% mark. One other interesting fact about their discipline…they have successfully cleared the ball 32 of 34 times.
On offense, opponents don't know who to cover, as Princeton has 7 players with 3 or more points. Jack McBride leads the way with (8,1) followed by Tommy Davis (3,2) and Rich Sgalardi (1,4). On the flip side, both goalies are putting up great numbers. Ashra has 6GA and save percent of 63%, and Fiorito has 7.3GA and a save percent of 58%.
While UMBC plays opponents tight, and has made great progress in recent years, I have never seen a Retriever beat a Tiger in a fight. Princeton is too well oiled of a machine of discipline, time management, and now add in scoring this year. Princeton will take this one. I'm going out on a limb and saying the Tigers score 14…again.
Saturday March 7, Noon: Hofstra at Johns Hopkins
The Flying Dutchmen (aka Pride) of Hofstra will travel into Blue Jay territory. This is a rivalry that has heated up in recent years. Hofstra has actually won in 2006 & 2008. Hopkins won in 2007. Two of the three games(07/08) were 1 goal games.
Before I get into the breakdown of the teams, I'll tell you neither of these goalkeepers has impressed me so far.
My favorite whipping boy from last year, Mike Gvozden has gone back to his sieve like self. Maybe he just doesn't get good until 5 or 6 games into the season. Either that or the second half of last year was a fluke. I'll concede that he didn't get much help last week against Princeton, as Princeton took advantage of early disillusioned slides.
For the Dutchmen, we have Danny Orlando. Sure he's got a suave name, but can he stop shots? The jury is deliberating. Every season he gets worse. Freshman year he had 7.2Goals Against and 56.3 save%. Soph year slid to 8.6GA and 49.1%. So far this year he has 9.4GA and 41.2%.
If Hofstra wants to beat Hopkins and improve to 3-0, they need more input besides Jay Card. Forget his 7Goals and 3Assists, he has been the saviour scoring both game winning goals in their two 1 goal wins. Card's fellow attackman, Kevin Ford has taken more shots than a spaghetti western, but is having trouble raking in goals (24shots/3G). At midfield Anthony Muscarella is drawing opponents top defenders after a stellar year last year. While his production is down, it is freeing up Mike Colleluori to make things happen at midfield putting up 4G and 7A. Hofstra's defence has faired well causing turnovers, limiting penalties, and limiting opponents shots. They just need to get Danny O's head back into the game.
For Hopkins, they need to win at the face off X. If Powers can continue the success he had against UMBC (17 of 24), Hopkins should be able to win this one. The Blue Jays also need to keep their penalties in check. 19 penalties so far is not helping a goalie that is struggling as opponents are converting on 43% of their EMO chances. Continuing with their defense, if they can nullify Card, and let Ford keep firing blanks, Gvozden might…just might…start to build himself back to last year.
I think this game goes to the Blue Jays. Why? I think Hofstra's offense right now is too 1 dimensional and their goalie is 0 dimensional.
Saturday March 7, Noon: Syracuse at Georgetown
Syracuse is 2-1 with their only loss to #1 Virginia.
Georgetown is 1-1 with a win over #8Maryland and a loss to unranked St. Johns.
No…that is not a typo.
Last week was a mirror image for these two teams. Both teams are coming off losses. One goal losses that each team really could have won. Both Georgetown and Syracuse played sloppy and made unforced errors early. Both also were trailing early and made nice comebacks that just fell short. Georgetown looked very good against Maryland, and quite honestly not too bad against St. Johns. When a goalie stops 15 of 24 shots on goal (63%) as Gavin Buckley did for St Johns, any team could lose. Their sub-par hustle performance didn't help as they lost the GB war, and turned the ball over more. Georgetown's attack is a smooth confident unit with Mirabito (8,1), Shuler (3,1), and Dowd (2,5). But don't be fooled as they have a one two punch at midfield with Kocis (3,2), and Brancaccio (3,1). Even their goalie Jack Davis is doing well with a save percentage of over 51%.
Syracuse as usual is a scoring machine averaging 17goals per game. What they need to improve on before facing the Hoyas turning the ball over. Against UVA, many passes were errant. Syracuse defense also needs to stand up against confident attack units. In the games I saw last year, the Cuse defense let bodies fly and made attack units think twice about moving in for a close shot. Against Virginia, it looked as though they were timid. Many of the early goals against Syracuse were not their goalie's fault but bad slides or miscommunication letting the shooter in on the doorstep.
If Georgetown can pull of the upset here, we might see them in Boston. If I erase what happened last week I would say they have a chance at pulling off the upset. Unfortunately we can't ignore that loss to St. Johns. I think the Orange is pissed. Not so much about losing to UVA by a goal, but the way in which they played. I can see them coming out and being more physical on D like they need to be against a deceivingly good attack. Syracuse by a couple.
