Getting ready for the 2014 conference season, it struck me that the technology revolution has moved from "E" to "D" – by that I mean Digital has replaced Electronic (as in E-Commerce) as the new "must have" conference title.
I remember back in the 1970's when Digital was replacing Analogue – with the mass introduction of digital watches and calculators – so it amuses me to see it re-cycled. Obviously the generation adopting the word today don't see the irony in it – nor do the companies inventing Digital divisions.
The serious point is that we're struggling to articulate the impact of disruptive change on many axis simultaneously. Led by Cloud and Mobile and closely followed by Social Media, Big Data, the need for a secure on-line Identity and even 'wearable' technology (back to my old digital watch again) how do enterprises encapsulate the change ?
Cloud is probably the easiest to grasp as it is the most mature and is already releasing its technology potential, but now it needs to be recognised as commercial disruptor – it has already impacted traditional hosting vendors and subjugated "lock-in" contracts they felt were safe. Cloud provides not only a natural 'leap frogging' for new entrants into markets by reducing up front set up costs, but can also be a defensive strategy for those businesses trying to adapt to meet rapidly changing customer expectations and behaviours.
Mobile is a key driver changing behaviour – where the acceleration of mobile and tablet (e.g. non-PC) platform adoption is changing the location of the commercial interaction with customers. The mobility of smart phones and tablets has released the consumer from a seat at the desk (office or home PC) and consumers are "inviting" enterprises onto their commuter trains or into their sitting room as they 'browse in the morning' and 'buy in the evening'.
Social Media has benefited from this informal interaction and given access to every review, post, tweet and blog – allowing research ahead of an eventual instore or online purchase – and making C2C communications the primary channel for feedback. Not only do we look up facts at the dinner table using our smart phones but we're looking at everyone else's opinion of that new camera, car or city-break as part of the selection process.
All that "opinion" needs a home and – adding it together with all the data produced from location tracking, monitoring and automated machine to machine communication – we have the exponential growth in the volume of data. Then you need tools and techniques to analyse that data (back to Cloud again).
Consumers are also demanding personal interaction which drives the need for Identity – allowing industries to start to drive up the quality and richness of exchanges to enhance customer experience.
So finally I come back to my original question – is my old Digital watch trendy again ?

Following negotiations with the founding owners of Swedish gobo manufacturer Beacon, Martin has purchased 25% of the share capital of the company with an option to purchase an additional 15%.
Martin's capital investment in the company is intended to ensure Beacon's aggressive growth strategy, while guaranteeing future influence on the company's development. Beacon will continue to operate as a fully independent company. Its three owners will continue to head the company while Martin makes its influence felt through the Board of Directors.
Martin considers Beacon to be the absolute leading producer of high-quality glass gobos in the lighting industry and has therefore found it natural to create a strategic partnership specifically with this company. Martin's investment in Beacon will ensure a future supply of quality gobos as well as provide an injection of creative resources to further influence the development and use of creative gobo designs in the worldwide lighting industry.
Following Martin's introduction of the MAC 2000, Beacon became Martin's most important gobo supplier. Martin expects continued strong growth in the use of gobos worldwide. Beacon's strength in the areas of innovation and product quality, coupled with Martin's extensive global distribution network, is the ideal mix in order to achieve a substantial part of this market potential.

How could you despise him? Guy brought us our one and only SB. Also helped the team to the playoffs a few times after that but no wins after that SB. I thought he could have done better with better talent but never got that opportunity. But it was time for him to go when it was. Players were getting tired of his shtick. Maybe Morris wasnt right for the job at the time but it was clearly time to move on from Gruden. I like him on MNF though. I think he will try his luck with coaching again at some point. I know buc fans will be interested in that.
i LOVE Gruden for 2002, post Superbowl.....not so much. Passing on Rodgers should haunt him every day!!
Quote from: Hate on June 22, 2013, 03:57:20 PMi LOVE Gruden for 2002, post Superbowl.....not so much. Passing on Rodgers should haunt him every day!!As pissed as Rodgers looked on draft day, I would guess, even though its been 8 years, he could name every team that passed on him. The Cowboys passed on him twice.
Hate, refresh me with that scenario please. Heard it but don't remember.
There\'s a very real chance the Bucs waive [Revis] before next season. At the very least, it will be a discussion worth having.

|Letter to the Editor
|Saturday, November 23, 2013 9:00 PM
Wednesday morning, we the City of Delphos, lost one of our most dedicated public servants we had, Tom McCabe.
Sgt. Tom McCabe worked, lived, and died supporting the Delphos Police Department and the City of Delphos.
Tom was my superior officer when I started in law enforcement and was basically in charge of breaking me into law enforcement. He did his most to lay the groundwork for me in law enforcement; just wish I had absorbed his photography skills.
Tom was not only one of my most loyal and dependable officers I ever had served with, but one who had moral and ethical qualities. He was a friend you knew was forever.
Thanks for being a good cop Tom and loyal employee.
If I may borrow a favorite saying from Tom, "This is a bunch of bull----,"; we wish you still were here.
May your soul rest in peace but you be spiritually with us forever.
Dennis M. Kimmet
Retired Police Chief

RUGBY: Rude awakening for Minety 'Dreamers'
Updated 11:18am Tuesday 21st January 2014 in Sport
Dorset & Wilts Div Three North
Trowbridge III 41
Minety II 0
SHORT-HANDED Minety seconds were soundly beaten by Trowbridge thirds despite the hosts' sporting loan of three players after the visitors arrived with only 12 men.
Though the new front row recruits put in a sterling effort and the visitors fought hard, their disorganised defence proved insufficient to hold back their hosts.
Injuries gradually reduced the visitors' numbers in the second half. Scrums were uncontested but Minety ended back with only 12 players on the field.
In total, Trowbridge ran in seven tries. There was a brace for Ryan Jones and touchdowns for Ben Deadman, Tom Davies, George Leat, Josh Hayden and Sam Butcher. Paul Taylor kicked three conversions.

CARY — Three weeks from now, students in families who move into Wake County could be turned away from attending 17 overcrowded schools this fall.
School administrators on Tuesday identified schools that are already so crowded that officials want to cap enrollment for the 2013-14 school year. If the school board approves, new families who move into the attendance areas for those schools could see their children sent to more distant schools.
We are trying to get them down to a manageable size, Laura Evans, senior director of growth management, told school board members.
If a school hits an enrollment figure specific to each campus, the system will turn away students who move in after April 9, the date the board will vote on the proposal. The policy exempts families who already live in a schools attendance area but dont yet have children attending the school.
The elementary schools that would be affected are Brooks, Cedar Fork, Fuller, Holly Grove, Farmington Woods, Hunter, Joyner, Lacy, Mills Park, Underwood, Walnut Creek and Wiley. Caps would also affect the elementary school grades at Hilburn Drive Academy, and Apex, Garner, Heritage and Holly Springs high schools.
Evans said 15 of the schools have hit the attendance number for the cap to go into effect immediately. Newcomers at those 15 schools would be given a choice of as many as three other schools they could attend.
Evans said Farmington Woods Elementary School and Holly Springs High School are the only schools on the list that havent hit their cap figure.
Since the 1990s, the Wake County school system has used enrollment caps to control crowding. But the states largest school district has sharply increased the use of caps lately.
In December, the school board approved caps on 13 schools for the rest of this school year.
Since then, Evans said 8,000 students had their requests approved to change school assignments for the 2013-14 school year. After those results, Evans said they determined the 17 schools should be capped.
Schedule changes
Also on Tuesday, the school board approved changing the bell schedules for 17 schools this fall to improve transportation efficiency.
The majority of schools would see shifts of 20 minutes or less for the 2013-14 school year. Six schools Apex Elementary, Davis Drive Middle, Green Elementary, Lufkin Middle, Vandora Springs Elementary and Walnut Creek Elementary would shift by 30 minutes or more.
Administrators made some changes to an earlier proposal, such as dropping a change to Baucom Elementary in Apex and starting the Wake Young Mens Leadership Academy and Wake Young Womens Leadership Academy five minutes earlier.
The Walnut Creek change was also a last-minute revision under which the school will start 45 minutes later, at 9:15 a.m., this fall. This means ending a program in which Walnut Creek operated 45 minutes longer than other elementary schools to provide more help to its large low-income population. There were complaints that teachers were putting in the extra time without additional pay.

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs clarified on Wednesday morning how he suffered a torn Achilles tendon. Suggs told Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times and Fox Sports that he was practicing for the Ravens' conditioning test.
Terrell Suggs: ''I went to stop and turn and I thought i sprained it. Went to doc and said it's a partial tear."— Aaron Wilson (@RavensInsider) May 3, 2012
Suggs maintained his optimistic time table for returning to the field. He told Wilson in the same conversation that he hoped to be back by the "middle to end" of October or early November at the latest. That will depend entirely on the severity of the injury and his rehabilitation schedule.
The league's incumbent defensive player of the year fired back at suggestions that he could miss the entire season.
Terrell Suggs to me: 'I love how you guys are saying out for the season. Just gonna make my comeback that much bigger.'— Aaron Wilson (@RavensInsider) May 3, 2012

i got a little question for licensing the Product Design Suite Standart.
in the "Included Software List" is AutoCAD and AutoCAD Mechanical listed.
when the suite were installed ist was just the AutoCAD-Mechanical version installed but no AutoCAD.
now we was informed that for installing the simple AutoCAD we have to order a new Product Code because it is only possible to install AutoCAD OR AutoCAD Mechanical. Not both of them.
Is this realy true?
The suite was installed by a professional. we already had installed a testversion of AutoCAD2013 as a Single Place License and then we bought the network-license version of the product design suite 2013 st. we tried to activate the testversion of AutoCAD with the network-license from the suite but it didn't work. then we got the info that we have to order the new product code and have to install all the applications new (also inventor and so).
seems a little bit ... strange to me.
thanks for your advises.
greets stefan
Solved! Go to Solution.
check here
start>all programs>autodesk>autocad mechanical 2013 folder
if you already have autocad installed you have to uninstall and reinstall it as a network license and input your product dss serial number and product key
of course it was also installed with the suite,
shame on me... didn't find it first ... but it is a little bit hidden ...
thanks a lot..

Burglars are caught in Haworth
6:00am Monday 27th January 2014 in Keighley
Police activity to catch burglars in Haworth parish has paid off, according to an update given to councillors.
Sergeant Chris Watson, of Bingley and Worth Valley Neighbourhood Policing Team, delivered the update to Haworth, Cross Roads and Stanbury Parish Council on Monday.
He said officers deployed a significant amount of resources to tackle a rise in house burglaries during November and early December last year.
"We got some very good arrests during late December and into the Christmas period, resulting in remands or prison sentences," he added. "I'm pleased to say this does mean matters have improved during the past few weeks, and we're now back to normal."
He said anti-social behaviour remained at a very low level, and instances of non-dwelling burglaries, motor vehicle theft and assaults had declined in 2012/13 compared to figures for the previous year.

Colleagues, please help to solve problem with native Nokia SIP client for E71 and Voxalot VOIP provider. I use 3G connection with my mobile operator Megafone in Saint-Petersburg.
I have to use VOXALOT (SIP broker) for works with two VOIP Providers for cheapest rates plan for landline and mobile phone in Russia. When I call my mobile subscriber he has to see my mobile Callirer ID.
I use Beatamax clones Voipraider and Webcalldirect. When I set up separately native SIP client E71 for Voipraider and Webcalldirect with this instructions than call session on both case with subscriber are established, the quality of sound is very qood.
I spent many time for correct setting Voxalot for E71 - in this instruction I must change type of transport from UDP to "auto" or "TCP" in Proxy server and Registrar server - when I set up type of transport in these section to auto than call session was established but I and my subscriber didn't hear each other. I discussed this problem in Voxalot forum but problem hasn't solved yet.
Description on problem.
Now I am using this setting with SIP naive client Nokia E71
When I call my subscriber (I replace first symbol + in number to 00) my subscriber see my CallierID, connection ere established, we either hear each other very well. But after 31 - 35 second after conversation my subscriber dissconected, but on my E71 call session established and I must manualy close call session.
Tips - I install Fring and Nimbuzz on E71. I wrote Voxalot setting (Iser ID, name registration server, password) for integrated SIP clients in these applications - now VOXALOT works, call session doesn't disconnect, I can speak with my subscriber long time, but quality of sound is the worst than native SIP client setting for Voxalot or VoipRider or Webcalldirect.
I think that problem in network setting - I don't know where and which parameter I have to change...
Mobile E 71 with latest firmware (I updated firmware yesterday through Nokia Software Updater v.2.4.6 en from Nokia official Internet web sight)
Installed Nokia SIP application SIP VoIP 2.x Setting - this is file SIP_VoIP_Settings_v1_2_en.SIS from SIP VoIP Settings
P.S I looked for on this forum about problems E71 and VOXALOT but nothing found.....

(WMC-TV) - Frontier Airlines will soon be taking off from Memphis International Airport. Nonstop service to Denver will begin out of MEM on March 7.
Frontier Airlines is hubbed in Denver. The company announced it will provide four flights to Denver each week, leaving on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. From there, passengers can connect to dozens of cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, Fresno, and more.

Large enterprises, especially financial services firms, are adopting big data at a more rapid pace than expected, according to a recently released study by big data consulting firm NewVantage Partners. But how are organizations using big data to make better business decisions? Success, it turns out, is as much an art form as it is a technology solution.
Last summer, NewVantage Partners held discussions with C-level executives (chief data officers, chief information officers, chief technology officers, chief analytics officers, chief information architects) as well as line-of-business heads and senior function heads at more than 50 large companies, most of them with more than 30,000 employees. Executives from financial services firms represented about 50 percent of the respondents, but NewVantage Partners also interviewed executives from insurance, government and other businesses.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Big data will help drive IT spending to $3.8 trillion in 2014. | InfoWorld's Andrew Lampitt looks beyond the hype and examines big data at work in his new blog Think Big Data. | Download InfoWorld's Big Data Analytics Deep Dive for a comprehensive, practical overview. ]
"Most of the companies spend over $1 billion a year in technology," says Paul Barth, founder and managing partner of NewVantage Partners. "They aren't usually quick to respond, but when they do they have a lot more resources to put behind their initiative."
Use big data to make better decisions
And these large enterprises see value in big data and are bringing their resources to bear. Barth says 85 percent of respondents reported they already have big data initiatives under way.
"Over 75 percent were investing over $1 million a year already," Barth says. "Twenty-five percent were investing over $10 million a year. There's a real commitment to using this technology for one program or a series of programs. They made it absolutely clear they could not do the programs they were doing without big data."
Real value of big data is accelerating time-to-answer
Respondents gave a number of reasons for their investments in big data, from reducing risk to creating higher-quality products and services. But two reasons were clear leaders: achieving better, fact-based decision-making and improving the customer experience. Of course, these are leading reasons for investments in traditional business intelligence (BI) analytics, too. Barth said that when NewVantage dug deeper, the real "quantum leap" for companies when it comes to big data is accelerating the speed at which they can get to a decision, or time-to-answer (TTA).
"If your time-to-answer is 30 minutes in one case and 30 seconds in another, it really changes your business processes," Barth says. "It makes you much more effective as a business analyst."
By using new big data technologies, organizations can answer questions in seconds rather than days and in days rather than months, Barth says. This acceleration, in turn, allows businesses to answer questions that have resisted analysis, develop test and learn processes that quickly adapt to the market and automate complex workflows.
However, reaping the benefits of accelerated TTA requires following a careful process based upon a clearly defined and governed relationship between big data and traditional analytics solutions.

According to Wikipedia, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a parlor game based on the "six degrees of separation" concept, which posits that any two people on Earth are, on average, about six acquaintance links apart. That idea eventually morphed into this parlor game, wherein movie buffs challenge each other to find the shortest path between an arbitrary actor and veteran Hollywood character actor Kevin Bacon. It rests on the assumption that any individual involved in the Hollywood, California film industry can be linked through his or her film roles to Kevin Bacon within six steps.
With "The Following" now on FOX54, I decided to check my separation from Kevin Bacon. I found that I am six degrees away:
1. In 2005, I was on the "Price is Right" with Bob Barker.
2. Bob Barker was in "Happy Gilmore" with Adam Sandler.
3. Adam Sandler was in "The Longest Yard" with Burt Reynolds.
4. Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn were in "Best Friends".
5. Goldie Hawn and Sarah Jessica Parker were in "First Wives Club".
6. Sarah Jessica Parker was in "Footloose" with Kevin Bacon.
You can watch "The Following" on Monday nights at 8 p.m. on FOX54.

The Broadway cast currently features Emmy Award nominee Paige Davis ("Home Made Simple") as Roxie Hart, Amra-Faye Wright as Velma, Alexander Gemignani as Billy Flynn, Paul C. Vogt as Amos and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine.
Following their Broadway engagements, Davis and Woods will kick-off the new 2013-14 national tour of Chicago beginning Aug. 31 in Tacoma, Washington. The tour will also feature Terra C. MacLeod as Velma and John O'Hurley ("Seinfeld," "Family Feud") as Billy Flynn; O'Hurley is set to appear in several cities including Tacoma, Portland, St. Louis, Madison, Ft. Lauderdale, Austin, Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
The revival of Chicago began life as one of the three annual Encores! presentations offered by City Center. The musical opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in November 1996 where it remained through February 1997. The musical transferred to the Shubert Theatre on Feb. 11, 1997, and played that house through Jan. 26, 2003. The revival reopened at the Ambassador Theatre, its current home, on Jan. 29, 2003. Read more about the revival in the Playbill Vault.
The Ambassador Theatre is located at 219 W. 49th Street.

We're ahead of Oprah!
Is it weird that I feel a sense of triumph that Cormac McCarthy's The Road was the Book Bandit January featured book and now Oprah Winfrey has selected the title for her book club? Ha! We're setting trends here at the Book Bandit. Well, if you need the grand O's endorsement to read The Road, I'm fine with that -- just read it! And check out her site for more on the book club selection.
The library
I didn't make it to the Sharyn McCrumb book signing this weekend because I was knee-deep in a project. I am moving into a fantastic house next week and I've spent the weekend doing what I call "Making the Red Go Away."
Ahhh, a nice morning drag with the dogs
Enjoy watching the geese and ducks by the Clinch River? We do! And that's just one spot where a free copy of "Lost and Found" waits for you. I brought the book along on one of our morning drags, and as the dogs sniffed blade after blade of grass, I used the one arm that HADN'T been pulled out of its socket to lovingly place a free copy of this month's book on a picnic table for your perusal. So if you brought your own mutts down to the river to check out/chase away the wildlife, brought your kids down to the river to FEED the wildlife, or just stopped by to eat lunch at a picnic table, let us know if you're the proud new owner of a free book. And tell us what you think!
Sharyn McCrumb appearance
New York Times bestselling Appalachian writer Sharyn McCrumb will read and sign books at the East Knoxville/Burlington Branch Library.
March's book: Lost and Found
An appropriate title for the Book Bandit pick! Three copies of Carolyn Parkhurst's Lost and Found will be placed around town for lucky readers to pick up. Designer Melanie Horton reviewed the book for the Paige Turner page (E7) in today's (March 4) News Sentinel. Check out her review, read the book for yourself and come back to the site to tell us what you liked or didn't like about the book. We want to hear from you! In the coming days, we'll be posting clues to the locations of the books. Happy reading!

A visiting judge has scheduled a hearing July 10 in Kanawha County Circuit Court to discuss conditions at the West Virginia Industrial Home for Youth in Salem.
Earlier this year, the Division of Juvenile Services announced its intention to close the Industrial Home as a juvenile facility and to relocate more than 300 adults there.
The change was part of a larger plan proposed by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and the West Virginia Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety to reorganize facilities under the Division for Juveniles Services and the Division of Corrections.
Court documents stated the JM "Chick" Buckbee Juvenile Center would replace the Industrial Home as the maximum and medium security facility for juveniles.
The Donald R. Kuhn Center in Boone County, court documents continued, would handle juveniles in the behavioral health unit.
Mountain State Justice, which represents two residents of the facility, originally filed the emergency petition for writ of habeas corpus and writ of mandamus in the state Supreme Court against Dale Humphreys, director of the Division of Juvenile Services, and David Jones, the superintendent of the West Virginia Industrial Home for Youth.
Since then, Stephanie Bond, superintendent of the Rubenstein juvenile center, was appointed as acting director of the West Virginia Division of Juvenile Services.
The case later was transferred to Kanawha County Circuit Court for factual development, and Mercer County Circuit Court Judge Omar Aboulhosn was appointed to oversee the case.
The petition alleged several incidents of what petitioners called "repressive policies" including confining the petitioners to their cells for long periods of time, using solitary confinement as punishment, leaving bathroom and shower breaks up to staff's discretion, requiring residents to wear prison uniforms, limiting contact with families and limiting educational and physical exercise opportunities.
Last month, the West Virginia Supreme Court announced that the Adjudicated Juvenile Rehabilitation Review Commission broadened its mission from juvenile justice facilities to all out-of-home placements resulting from adjudication of delinquency.
Working with officials in the executive branch, the commission also will work to have transitional services for youth leaving the system, such as adequate bed capacity at facilities and adequate attorney representation.
The commission was created in 2011 to look at the Division of Juvenile Services operations at the Industrial Home for Youth in Salem and the Kenneth "Honey" Rubenstein Center in Davis.

De La Torre and Dermyer Earn Second Team All-Confernece Honors
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With the Atlantic Sun Conference readying for its 23rd annual Women's Basketball Championship in Nashville this week, the league office released its 2007-08 All-Conference selections Tuesday morning. Kennesaw State's Britteny Henderson claimed Player of the Year honors and Gardner-Webb's Monique Hudson joined her male counterpart Nate Blank as Freshman of the Year.
"I'm happy that a couple of our players received All-Conference recognition," said Head Coach Karl Smesko. "I believe the Delia and Chelsea are two of the best players in the conference."
Henderson, a junior out of Atlanta, Ga., finished the season second in the conference in scoring and third in rebounding, and posted double-doubles in five of her final seven outings. The psychology major notched perhaps the single top performance of the season versus Gardner-Webb on Feb. 9, pouring in 21 points and pulling down 22 rebounds for the league's only 20-20 stat line of the season.
Hudson, the league's only freshman with a double figures scoring average, posted 10.7 points per game for the season, and helped hand regular season champion ETSU one of its two league losses with a 20- point performance on Jan. 12.
Jacksonville and ETSU split the remaining four First-Team spots as JU's Virginia Gregoire and ETSU's Siarre Evans made their second straight appearance, JU's Ashley Williams received her third consecutive honor and ETSU's Michele DeVault achieved her first career selection. Evans, the 2007 Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year, led the Lady Bucs to their first-ever A-Sun regular-season conference title, and averaged a team-best 13.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest. DeVault led the league in three-point and free throw shooting at .421 and .861, respectively. The Dolphins tandem of Gregoire and Williams guided JU to its second consecutive second seed in the A-Sun tournament, as Williams finished second in the league at 15.9 points per game, and Gregoire was sixth at 13.4. The junior also led the Dolphins in rebounding at a six per contest clip.
Campbell senior Marlena Murphy leads the Second-Team as the only A-Sun player this season to average a double-double. The Fayetteville, N.C. native recorded 12.4 points and 10 rebounds per game in her senior campaign. Joining Murphy as Second Team honorees were Belmont's Brooke Sunday, Gardner-Webb's Margaret Roundtree and a pair from first-year member Florida Gulf Coast, Chelsea Dermyer and Delia De La Torre.
"It is an honor to be recognized in the conference," said senior guard Chelsea Dermyer. "It isn't an individual accomplishment, it was a team effort. It wouldn't have happened without the success that our team had this season."
"I am extremely proud of receiving this award," said senior Forward Delia De La Torre. "It is not only an individual accomplishment, but it also recognizes the success that we have had as a team."
Hudson was a unanimous All-Freshman Team selection, and her twin sister Dominique joined her on thesquad. Stetson's Tierra Brown, Lipscomb's Jenna Bartsokas and conference freshman steals leader Juliemay Syquio also earned All-Freshman honors.
ETSU's Karen Kemp led the Lady Bucs to their finest regular season in school history, as her squad amassed a 14-2 conference mark and claimed a regular season conference crown for just the second time in the program's existence. The 2007 A-Sun Tournament runner-up, the Lady Bucs enter this season's Championship with the top seed as they seek the school's first-ever NCAA Tournament berth.
Kennesaw State's Greteya Kelley was the run away choice for Defensive Player of the Year after she averaged a massive 3.79 steals per game.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is a 12-member league committed to Building Winners for Life, with a focus on academic and athletic integrity and a balance between the two for the student-athlete, and maintaining a high level of sportsmanship. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun encompasses six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun consists of some of the most dynamic private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Gardner-Webb University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.

The longest pedestrian bridge in Sweden, the Solvesberg Bridge achieved landmark status because of its amazing arches and immense length at 756 meters. Now, the Swedish lighting designers Ljusarkitektur took to the trademark sweeps of the bridge to illuminate its undersides. In typically gorgeous fashion, the lights are both subtle and stunning, programmable in different colors and with glare shields that protect the glow from being too strong on the surrounding natural landscape.

Scientists claim that the location of termite mounds also quite accidental. They clearly sent by their narrower parts north and south. Researchers can not clearly explain why it is such a location. Closest hypothesis considered in this arrangement, termites keep the most comfortable temperature for termites within their own structures. Kind of climate control. Indeed, Northern Australia is characterized by a hot day and cool nights. In fact, before you termite apartment that can host up to several tens of thousands of insects.

The Golden Gate Bridge Turns 77 in May 2014
2014 marked the 77th anniversary of the opening of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. Before 1937, the city's growth was hampered by a reliance on ferry traffic. The 8,981 ft (2,737 m) suspension bridge changed that, creating a link between San Francisco to Marin County. Its construction was completed under budget, but at the cost of 11 workers' lives. Collected here are images from the building of this iconic bridge, as well as scenes from its 77 years of service and from Sunday's celebration.

Think of the TN Wiki as like an airport. There are a lot of different people there, moving through the airport with purpose, on the way to many different destinations. However, there is a certain decorum and consideration that we all must pay to each other
and to the rules, or the whole thing breaks down. Then none of us can get to our destinations.
These contribution guidelines are those "rules". If you were at our airport, we'd expect you to:
You must sign-in to contribute. You must join to sign in. To learn how to join, see
Wiki: How to Join.
The fastest way to get started is to click on a tag that indicates someone is looking for your help. For example,
needs work, or
The easiest way to get started is to contribute a link to one of the
survival guides.
NOTE: Do not just copy/paste from TechNet/MSDN or other websites, or blogs, or other sources of material that you did not create. If you do this and then save this without any editing, rewriting and improvement by you, you are plagiarizing another's
work. If you are working on material that started on a blog or another website, it is important to link to the original material at the top of the article. For example,
"This document was originally published as <link to original> and has been reproduced here to allow the community to correct any inaccuracies or provide other enhancements before updating the original version of this topic.". Copy/pasting and
then saving under your name is plagiarism. We frown on that here. Violations of copyright will be deleted.
Label pre-release content. Clearly indicate the version of the product when it is important.
Do not post content about products that are under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) or that are not publicly available. Do not post information about pre-release content. The place to participate in the pre-release process for Microsoft products
is Microsoft Connect.
Clean HTML. Copying and pasting from Microsoft Word or PowerPoint will likely result in formatting problems. See the formatting section below for more specific instructions. We recommend authoring in Windows Live Writer, and then pasting
from there. You can download Windows Live Writer for free at:
If you're not paying attention to the other people who talk about the same stuff you do, then your content won't be successful.
If you've come up with incredibly clever taglines, fantastic copy, and informative posts that perfectly embody everything you are and you honestly think everyone else will love it, too, because you took so much time doing it... but you don't verify that
with anyone else, then your content won't be successful.
Consider readers who are not native English speakers - by following
How to Write for an International Audience, you can dramatically increase your potential reach.
Ask for help. If you have questions, or would like to collaborate with someone from Microsoft on some wiki content, just
post a request in the wiki forum.
When editing raw HTML refer to W3Schools.com for appropriate HTML syntax and use the "Try it yourself" feature to render raw HTML to preview how it will be displayed.
Entering [ [Publishing Guidelines] ] (without spaces between the brackets) in the wiki editor page will generate a link to this page. If the named page does not exist it will be created. By default new links are created as sub-pages to the page where the
link is created. If the page exists elsewhere in the wiki then the link should point there unless the user specifies a subpage link. (See below) <need Telligent verification here>
The URLs for wiki articles can be referred to either by the full URL or as a partial URL. Linking from the wiki is as simple as using basic HTML linking or the editor's link button to generate a new link. Links external to the wiki are indicated in wiki

Tags are similar to keywords and are included in the search index, but are not displayed to the reader of the content. At least one tag is required for all new content created.
Do not delete tags, even if you think they are wrong. Add your own tags instead. For example, if you find some useful content tagged as "HyperV," do not delete these and replace them with "Hyper-V".
Just add your "Hyper-V" tags to the tagstream. Someone tagged it with "HyperV" for a reason important to them, and is counting on using that tag to find the article.
Please add a tag for the language in which your post was written. For English, add en-US. This assists members of the community to easily locate and filter articles written in English.
Tip: don't forget to tag yourself while authoring a new article (and
not while making edits) - this way you can easily access all articles that you originally authored.
Use standard formatting commands, such as <h1>, <h2>, etc.. All the formatting is done via style sheets (both for print and screen).
The title of the article is stored separately and is used for the <title> tag, breadcrumbs, side-bar navigation, and most importantly the URL.
In the above example the title of the article is How-To Contribute. The URL is
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/how-to-contribute.aspx. If you change the article title to "Wiki: How to Contribute", the URL will change, but the links will all go to the new URL. Title capitalization is preferred (most all words
start with a capital lever, except most prepositions and articles like "the").
There is no Table of Contents for the wiki. Feel free to create a mini-TOC for a long article. To add an automatic TOC to your article, simply type the letters "toc"(without the quotes) between two brackets (see the top of this article for an example).
How to Create Quick and Basic Tables for TechNet Wiki
When an article is longer than just a section or two, it could be useful inserting the "Return to top" links at the end of each section.
Kurt L Hudson explained how you can add this feature to your Wiki article in a
post on the WikiNinjas Official Blog.
If you accidentally publish a duplicate article, or have a good reason to want to remove an article, you cannot do it yourself. Only an administrator can physically remove an article. Instead, you have to change the article title and content, and replace
the tags with:
This article is also available in the following languages:
This is some great advice here. Good work.
Good Work =)
Good to know!
This new edit has nothing to do with the original topic. Is there a way to undo the previous changes to this article?
Fixed it, nevermind.

Very nice article. Thank you.
Titles in all caps look clunky and dated.
Great Article!
As a new user, this is incredibly helpful; thanks!! Wish I would have seen it a couple days ago...would have saved me close to an hour.

A public transit system may soon be coming to Charlotte County. Planning directors want to offer a cheap bus service connecting the area to Sarasota County. This comes after years of discussion, and just recently, is it receiving the needed support to move forward.
For years, Charlotte County planning directors have been at a standstill about how to offer a connection for commuters traveling between the two counties.
It would run from North Port all the way to Charlotte's medical district, where two of the county's main hospitals and several clinics are located.
"I've gotten phone calls for years asking, 'How can I get to the mall in Charlotte County?' 'Well, where do you live?' 'I live in Sarasota County,'" said Charlotte MPO Director Bob Herrington.
Until recently, there wasn't enough support. But after surveying hundreds of residents who might consider the option - like hospital workers and local residents - directors are exploring five possible routes.
Surveys show about half of the people that would use this proposed bus route would pass through the medical district.
Most of the other people surveyed say they'd use the service for shopping at several of charlotte county's big box stores. And right now, there's nothing more than a dial-a-ride service - which you have to order 24 hours in advance.
"If we put this service out, it will sell itself and it could possibly lead to something bigger," said Herrington.
The two counties would split the over $1-million dollar price tag. Planners are still working on a set cost for riders. They're hoping to decide on a final plan this fall.

Every student has experienced the negative symptoms of stress: the nervous rumbling of the stomach, the constant anxiety, the pounding headache. It's all part of everyday high school life. However, in the long run, too much stress may be seriously harmful to your health, even for teens.
Over the millennia, humans and animals have developed different biological reactions to stress. Animals typically react to stress immediately, in the first stage of General Adaptation Syndrome. That is, once the stressor is physically absent from their environment, the animal's body no longer recognizes a danger and returns to its normal condition.
The first stage of the syndrome - known as the immediate reaction - states that when the body (either human or animal) identifies a stressor, it releases adrenaline. This leads to a faster heartbeat, increased blood pressure, and a faster breathing rate, all of which cause more blood to be delivered to the various areas of the body. This, in turn, activates the "fight or flight" syndrome, which is associated with panic attacks and hyperactivity.
If the stressor remains in either a psychological or physical form once the immediate reaction has ended, the second stage begins. During this period, other hormones are produced that hinder the immune system's response to viruses and bacteria. This is known as the adaptation stage.
It is rare for the body to allow the onset of the third stage, known as exhaustion, because most people know to slow down when sick. This rest allows the body to rehabilitate its immune system.
During this period, one might have a nervous breakdown, and hospitalization would be required. Although it is unlikely that any student will be hospitalized for stress due to a math test or an English paper, our daunting schedules do make us more susceptible to illnesses. When stress is constant, medical problems can develop.
So how can we reduce the level of stress in our lives? Most important, everyone needs to find some "downtime" each day, when one participates in a relaxing activity (such as playing sports, listening to music, or meditating). However, for downtime to be most effective, all worries (including school and personal problems) must be tossed aside. Downtime helps us to maintain a sense of control and to prevent our bodies from becoming susceptible to illnesses. As a result, although it is sometimes referred to as "wasting time," taking downtime may not be such a waste after all. ?

"I was a super good sniper. I never killed anyone. But I was badly wounded," said Dr. Ruth, 85.
Her life's story plays its self out in the "near Broadway" production, 'Becoming Dr. Ruth' starring actress Debra Jo Rupp of 'That 70's Show' fame.
"It really is about her journey which is unbelievable. She took advantage of everything that came her way," said Rupp.
The woman who revolutionized the sexual dialog in the 1980s was destined for success not matter the rocky road getting there.
"I told the broadcasters that they have need to have a program on the air to educate – this was before AIDS-- about sexually transmitted diseases and contraception. Within one week (I was on) 15 minutes on NBC radio and 10 years on WNYW radio," said Dr. Ruth.
'Becoming Dr. Ruth' is playing at the Westside Theater Upstairs, 407 W. 43rd St.

Roanoke, Indiana...
This is probably the most in-depth garment that I've ever made. So much time went into hand sewing, and making sure that all of the design details, and the fit was correct. For the fabric, I used a stretch linen (for those of you seamstresses who are wondering, the linen has held up great in water! There's no shrinking at all.), and cream jersey lining on the inside. I drafted the pattern using my own measurements, except for the bottom portion. I cut up an old pair of well fitted underwear to use as my base pattern for the bottoms.
There's boning in the bodice, and all of the white lines are bias tape that was top stitched onto outside of the suit. The bias tape was all hand pressed and made from an old, twill, satin skirt that I had. The halter straps are made from that same fabric as well.
The lining took the longest to work on. I only had scraps of jersey from other projects that I had worked on. At the time I didn't feel like going to buy more, so I just used what I had, and pieced the lining together from scraps. Although looking back I wish that I would have waited to buy more fabric, because so much time went into hand sewing the inside! Because I only had small pieces of jersey, all of the seams had to be hand sewn down using a whip stitch to keep from bunching. I also hand sewed ribbon, and bias tape to cover some of the seams as well (as you can see from the zipper and waist area). Overall around 40 hours went into sewing this swimsuit.

News: Stacey Dash Tries To Make Beyoncé & Jay-Z Bow Down After Cuba Trip
Wednesday, Apr 10, 2013 3:30PM
Despite Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Jay-Z being approved to go visit Cuba for their five-year anniversary last week, Hollywood actress Stacey Dash has publicly spoken out against the hip-hop couple's journey.
Dash resorted to her Twitter page to kick some dirt on Bey and Jay's publicized vacation.
Stacey Dash may get a sting from the Beyhive after this. The actress, who has been very vocal about political issues since the last presidential elections, has now turned her focus to Jay-Z and Beyoncé and their decision to spend their anniversary in Cuba. She's not very happy about it and she doesn't think you should be either. Dash tweeted, "Do you care that The Jay Z"s have taken the capital you have given them and funded a communist oppressive regime?" (Apparently, Hov and Bey's conjoined name is "The Jay Zs.") Judging by her followers' responses, no, they don't care. "I like you better when you were CLUELESS," one fan wrote, while another said, "What. Ever." (E! Online)
After concern grew, reports of their legally approved trip surfaced Monday (April 8) evening.
Pop star Jay-Z and Beyonce's fifth wedding anniversary trip to Cuba was "fully licensed" and therefore was legal, a source told Reuters. But beyond that, it's unclear just what kind of permission they got. And Miami's Republican U.S. representatives, Mario Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, say they want to know more about the case. On Friday, they openly called for details of the trip by the R&B stars who happen to also be big-time backers of President Obama. Under federal law, American citizens traveling to Cuba generally need United States Treasury Department permission to spend U.S. currency on the communist island because U.S. money is technically property of the federal government. Licenses are often granted for journalistic, academic, religious, academic or cultural reasons. (Miami Herald)
Prior to last November's presidential election, Dash received backlash after publicly revealing her support for Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
Paul Ryan phoned Stacey Dash this week to thank her for her support after the actress endured racially tinged threats on Twitter over her public support of Mitt Romney. "He said thank you so much for your support, and that I was brave, and that they support me. I thought that was just so generous, and kind, you know? Lovely, really," Dash told CNN's Piers Morgan on Tuesday night. Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman and Romney's running mate, tweeted on Tuesday evening that they had "a great conversation." (The Hill)
West Coast rapper Game later stepped forward to speak up for Stacey.
"I don't understand what everybody's gripe is with that," he said. "We live in the world [where] we try as people to become more non-racial. Every black person in the world doesn't support Obama. ...Why are we slamming her? Maybe she has different views and opinions, she should be entitled." (CBS Local)

VERA: Changing the World, One Corset at a Time-------
Corsets, cell phones, fashion, and microfinance might seem like they'd make for strange bedfellows, but those things are all coming together for a good cause at tonight's launch event for VERA, a new phone application (created by mobile-intelligence firm Validas) that targets wireless waste (unused minutes and data on your cellular bill) and donates that money to the Seven Bar Foundation—a group that aims to empower women in need around the globe with targeted business investments. Sounds complicated, but basically it's an innovative way to give back and become a mini-philanthropist, if you will. In the past, Seven Bar has raised funds and awareness for its mission with unique lingerie runway shows. And tonight—at the United Nations, of all places—the organization will be hosting one such extravaganza. "If we're going to launch this, we're going to do it in true Seven Bar style," the foundation's founder, Renata Black, told Style.com.
Black and the team behind VERA recruited several fashion designers—Erin Fetherston, Zang Toi, Guy Laroche artistic director Marcel Marongiu, and Sarah Shotton of Agent Provocateur—to create corsets for the occasion. (Mary Alice Stephenson is the master of ceremonies, and Tennessee Thomas, Hannah Bronfman, Kelly Rutherford, and Jennifer Creel are among the expected attendees.) Why corsets? you might ask. "They're traditionally associated with restriction, but we've asked the designers to reimagine them as inner armor for outer empowerment," Black explained. The designers gave Style.com an exclusive sneak peek at the custom corsets that will parade down this evening's runway. "I'm known for my feminine aesthetic and that comes through in the draped chiffon, embellishments, and sweet bow gathering in the back. It's romantic and modern," said Fetherston. Meanwhile, Toi looked to Robert Indiana's iconic LOVE sculpture for corset inspiration, and Shotton did a quintessentially Agent Provocateur (read: sexy) take on the undergarment. To top it all off, Imitation of Christ designer Tara Subkoff will give a live performance at tonight's event. Known to dabble in all forms of film and theatrics, Subkoff will make her own corset on the spot, and promises that the result will be imaginative. Corsets for change—why not?

That's about to change.
Google Enterprise VP Amit Singh told InfoWorld today "You'll see us announce in the next four to six weeks some very, very large customers, with hundreds of thousands of users on at one time, moving to Google Apps."
One of those wins could be General Motors, which was close to signing a deal last month, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Some of the others could be in government and education, two sectors where Google has had more success.
These big wins still won't contribute much to Google's coffers -- for instance, at a base price $50 per user per year, a 100,000 seat commercial win would only generate $5 million per year.
But every Google Apps win is one less sale for Microsoft's Office 365 and related products like Exchange Server. Those business products (as well as the Office suite) have been Microsoft's main growth engine for the last year.
A couple months ago at the Web 2.0 Summit, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said that Microsoft still wins in the vast majority of accounts where it goes up against Google Apps.

Shane Mosley will be fighting on the undercard of Saturday night's HBO boxing event that sees Floyd Mayweather, Jr. face Miguel Cotto. The good people at Fight Hub TV caught up with Shane and asked him what he thought would happen in the Mayweather vs. Cotto bout. Shane has been in the ring with both men (losing to both) so he has a bit of experience to draw on.
Here's the video:
Mosley's prediction:
I think that the main event is gonna be a great fight because Cotto...Cotto is a phenomenal fighter. He's very deceptive, where you think that his jab isn't coming but it really is. And it's fast. He lands a lot of shots on guys that you would think that he wouldn't. Because he is deceptively fast. Mayweather has a tremendous defense where he's moving, ducking and he's very sharp. It's gonna be a good fight. I would go with Mayweather. But the first four or five rounds we're gonna see what happens. I mean, if Mayweather misses a step in his training camp or if he misses a step like, right before the fight. There could be serious problems for Mayweather. Serious problems! Because Cotto is right there with him. Neck-and-neck. And it's not an easy fight for Mayweather. If Mayweather is sharp, you know? I give it to Mayweather. But if he misses a step, Cotto's gonna be right there. And he's a natural 154 pounder where Mayweather is not.
