RYAN Clarke is positive over his rehabilitation from a foot operation this summer after overcoming far more serious surgery last year.
The 32-year-old will miss the first pre-season of his career after going under the knife to correct a problem with the big toe on his right foot.
While it is difficult to be precise with a return date, the lay-off could rule the goalkeeper out for the first month of the new Sky Bet League Two season.
But despite the bad news, Clarke, who last month became a dad for the first time with the birth of his son, Ralph, is staying optimistic after coming through a tougher situation.
Last January he required operations on both shoulders, in what is believed to be a first for a professional goalkeeper.
There were real concerns over whether United's No 1 would ever be the same again.
But following a six-month recovery Clarke did not miss a minute of first-team action last season and was named player of the season by supporters and players.
The experience means the goalkeeper is looking on the bright side.
"If I can come back strongly from double shoulder surgery, this will be a breeze," he said.
"I want to prolong my career here and it's better to get it done now instead of later on.
"The main thing for me is to stay positive, although it's a big disappointment to miss pre-season for the first time.
"It was the ideal time to get it done with the late start back to the season.
"In the long-term it would have gradually got worse and worse."
The issue, relatively common for goalkeepers, was managed for the final months of last season.
The former Bristol Rovers trainee did not feel it affected his performances, with most of the pain coming after games.
United initially felt time off in the summer would be enough to solve the injury, but fortunately booked an appointment with a specialist just in case.
Clarke said: "We thought as soon as the season finished with a couple of weeks' rest it would have settled down.
"But it got more tender walking round the house so we put in to see the specialist as soon as the season finished to cover ourselves.
"He wasn't happy with it and they needed to shave a bit of bone and fuse it together."
Meanwhile, former Oxford defender Harry Worley has joined Sky Bet League Two side Stevenage following his exit from Newport.

Chain snatching rampant; dingy corners turn dumping yards
The road over-bridges across railway level crossings at Thennur and Palakkarai in the city built at the initiative of the former Union Minister late Rangarajan Kumaramangalam brought much relief to motorists in the city. Though people living close to the bridges did not mind a few minor inconveniences on account of the bridges, they hardly bargained for the clutter and squalor that characterise the public space beneath the bridges now.
The civic administration soon after the opening of the bridges about six to seven years ago had announced that the open space beneath the bridges would be put to good use, for creating a parking lot and to raise public gardens. Neither plan has come to fruition yet.
Instead, the entire space along the bridges on the Thennur High Road, the Heber Road and the Madurai High Road have now turned convenient shelters for encroachers for varied purposes. Platform vendors, roadside eateries, juice stalls and cobblers form an assorted group of encroachers. Truck and goods van operators also find it a convenient place to park their vehicles. In a few places, the open space with the pillars at regular intervals make for work sheds for a few artisans eking out a living from bamboo products.
Timber, hardware shops and steel welding units occupy most of the space on the narrow service lane along the bridge on the Madurai Road. Open drains, road bumps and encroachments by an assortment of shopkeepers have constricted the space on the service roads along the two bridges. Worse still, several dingy corners beneath the bridges have become convenient garbage dumping yards for locals. The Ramakrishna Theatre corner near Thennur has been converted into an open garbage dump and urinal.
All along, the space beneath the bridges is largely unlit. Residents complain that the poorly-lit stretch on either side of the Thennur Railway crossing has now turned into a hangout for anti-social elements. Chain snatching incidents are frequent occurrence on this stretch though many of them allegedly go unreported to police. Sakunthala Srinivasan, a resident of Anna Nagar and president, Tiruchi Payaneetalar Iyakkam, who has long been fighting for provision of street lights and conversion of the open space into gardens observes that the road stretch along the TANGEDCO office in Thennur has become totally unsafe for women during nights.
"We have grown tired of representing the matter to the corporation. Provision of street lights is an absolute necessity to check criminal activities. The open spaces under the bridge have also become a big garbage dump yard," she says.
Mrs.Sakunthala said that the Payaneetalar Iyakkam and Mahalir Mempattu Mandram had offered to the corporation to sponsor and maintain a garden beneath the Thennur bridge. "But the corporation is yet to act on our request over the past seven years," she says.
Local residents also complain over the chaotic traffic conditions on the service roads along the bridges. Clogged as they are by encroachments and other impediments, the service roads are also in a poor condition with gaping manholes at several places. Motorists invariably use the wrong side of the service lane along the Thennur highway. Consequently, the service road on the other side is used for two way traffic, often resulting in traffic snarls and bottlenecks, they complain.

The human brain is a 3-pound lump of fat and blood vessels that contains all of a person's hopes, dreams, fears, obsessive thoughts and the location of my keys. It's a miracle of natural engineering. I'm in awe of its complexity and of the fact that electrical impulses and neurotransmitters account for the sum of my experience. Way to go, brain.
At the same time, Mr. Brain can be a demon from hell when it decides to turn against its body. Serotonin levels become imbalanced and the keyboard is suddenly contaminated; the Lysol is too far away, and all communication must be done with notes taped to the front door. Screw you, brain.
Sacks discusses several patients he's treated, most of whom suffered neurological damage, either from brain injury (such as a stroke) or from some dread degenerative disease. Several suffer from loss of sight or not seeing in three dimensions. It's a what's what of things I would rather not have happen to me.
One woman, a classical musician, is stricken with an inability to read music. As it progresses, the disease hinders her ability to see and recognize objects. A gallery owner has a stroke and can no longer speak, in addition to being half-paralyzed. A professional writer forgets how to read; letters become Cyrillic, indecipherable. (I find that one particularly terrifying.)
At the same time, Mr. Brain can be a demon from hell when it decides to turn against its body.
The people, though thoroughly inconvenienced, carry on with their lives as best they can. Just because a person can't read doesn't mean he can't still write. A particularly affecting story in this book is of a novelist, Howard Engel, who has continued his career through a series of ingenious typing tricks that help him remember what he has written. He does what he can and sends it to the editor. The protagonist in his series of novels suffers from the same malaise. He has turned his disability into the proverbial lemonade from lemons. The art gallery owner, though stripped of her ability to speak, leads a highly social life by using a book with specific words to point to in conversation. The musician can still play the piano beautifully, if haltingly at first. All of these stories, while sad, are not overly bleak.
Sacks' writing style is fairly pedestrian. He is not the style master, but his stories are engaging. He isn't afraid to write about his own problems with facial recognition and an eye surgery undergone to remove a tumor. It makes him more human, less clinical; although sometimes he's well, clinical. Such is the pitfall of being a doctor-
The people detailed are all successful and upwardly mobile, as if their suffering were somehow more important. While the affluent are not immune from problems, a section on, oh, a fry cook who keeps throwing Happy Meal toys in the fryer would have given Mind's Eye a little more street cred.

Hi all,
You may get errors like the following when using CertEnroll control in a web page hosted inside another page's frame/iframe:
CertEnroll::CX509EnrollmentWebClassFactory::CreateObject: Unspecified error 0x80004005 (-2147467259)
CertEnroll::CX509EnrollmentWebClassFactory::CreateObject: The operation was canceled by the user. 0x800704c7 (WIN32: 1223)
This happens when accessing the web site with IE8 on a Windows 7.
This is a known issue on Windows 7, and many people already talked about it in this post of mine: How to create a certificate request with CertEnroll (JavaScript). We currently have the following ways to workaround the issue:
1) Don't use frames.
2) Put <object> tag for CertEnroll in parent frame and access it from the child frame using window.parent.g_objClassFactory_Proxy (assuming g_objClassFactory_Proxy is the name of the object, and as long as both urls are in the same domain. If they are in different subdomains then you must use document.domain = "x.com" in both the child and parent frames).
3) A solution based in #2 which will work if the page is within the frame of a parent page and also if we access the page directly:
The idea is again to create the class factory object on the parent web page, and then use it from the pages in the frames. But that requires us to change the parent web page. Now, there is way to dynamically add that object in the parent web page from the page in the frame.
We can add the following code in the page within the frame before using the class factory object:" objCertEnrollClassFactory = top.document.getElementById("g_objClassFactory_Proxy"); if (objCertEnrollClassFactory == null) { top.document.body.insertAdjacentHTML("afterBegin","<object id=\"g_objClassFactory_Proxy\" classid=\"clsid:884e2049-217d-11da-b2a4-000e7bbb2b09\" height=0 width=0></object>"); objCertEnrollClassFactory = top.g_objClassFactory_Proxy; }"Then we can remove this from that page:" <object id="objCertEnrollClassFactory" classid="clsid:884e2049-217d-11da-b2a4-000e7bbb2b09"></object> "
Note this solution suffers from the same limitation as #2: urls must be on the same domain, otherwise we will get an Access Denied when accessing the object from the parent frame.
I hope this helps.
Alex (Alejandro Campos Magencio)
Good news!!! There is a fix available for this already. Check this post of mine:
CertEnroll control won't work when hosted inside a frame/iframe in IE8 (FIX)
FWIW, this has nothing to do with IE8, and everything to do with the fact that the control is the version on Windows 7. See blogs.msdn.com/.../certificate-enrollment-xenroll-vs-certenroll-activex-object.aspx for discussion of other restrictions.
Eric, you are right. As I said in the post, this is an issue on Windows 7 itself, and not on IE8. The title of the post mentions IE8 because that is what my customers reported. To tell you the truth, I haven't tried on IE7 or earlier to see if certenroll also fails the same way. Anyway, issue is fixed now as I commented above.
This fix wont work anymore on IE10 and 11 on Windows 7 and 8.
It seems that insertAdjacentHTML wont add the required object dynamically on the top frame. In fact, even if I hardcode it on the main frame, I cant access it by getElementById.
Does anyone experienced the same problem?

After this initial phase, plasma should be as durable as any television technology. Many models also have burn-in-reduction features, such as screensavers and pixel orbiting, or settings to treat burn-in once it occurs, such as causing the screen to go all white." - CNET
Plasmas aren't sensitive to movement either, but due to the technology shouldn't be tipped on it's side during transportation, because the glass could easily break.
The only reason why one should choose an LCD over a Plasma is power usage - a plasma does use more power, even to the extent that it starts to show on your electric bill.

SharePoint 2013 Blank Usage Reports
While working on a SharePoint 2013 Portal project we noticed that the Usage Reports were blank on one Farm, exactly as described in this article.
Following the steps in the article we tested 2 farms. one farm had the receivers defined and was showing information in the usage reports, the other farm has no receivers defined and had blank usage reports.
We noticed that the farm with working Usage Reports was running SharePoint Server with Enterprise Client Access License, the farm with the non working Usage Reports was running SharePoint Server with Standard Client Access License.
Checking on Technet we found that Usage Analysis is an Enterprise only license feature
So seems to be a by design feature, adding the receivers to the Standard farm would probably make it work, but may break the license agreement.

Excel Calculation Services and RBS
On a recent project I came across a strange problem with Excel Calculation Services.
On a SharePoint 2013 farm with multiple web applications, Excel services was working perfectly on a couple of the web applications but not on others. The trusted locations and process identity settings were set and checked but were not at fault, digging through the ULS logs was showing this.

Looking at the Excel Services file cache for a working request we were seeing this.
but for a non working request we were seeing this.
the only commonality seemed to be that the non-working web applications were using RBS for BLOB storage.
Digging through the ULS logs some I finally found the following error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'rbs_fn_get_blob_reference'
A quick google turned up some blogs about database permissions for service accounts, following this blog http://blog.sharepointsite.co.uk/2014/01/sp-2013-ssrs-failing-after-rbs-enabled.html
I added the db_rbs_admin database role to the Excel Services service account for each RBS enabled database and Excel services sprang into life.
SharePoint 2013 SSRS Migration "User cannot be found"
A recent project I worked on involved a SharePoint 2010 to 2013 migration, part of this migration was to migrate an SSRS 2012 install from SP2010 to SP2013, the steps are well documented in MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/hh759331.aspx
As part of the migration process we moved from classic to claims authentication, this is a straight forward 2 step process
1 ) Create a web app in classic mode in the 2013 farm and mount the content database from SP2010.
2) Call the Convert-SPWebApplication cmdlet to migrate the user accounts to claims authentication.
To perform the SSRS migration we installed SSRS 2012 SP1, moved across the reporting database and Encryption key, when testing the reports a few worked but lots were showing the error "User Cannot be Found" error as outlined in this blog post.
The post above suggests that a user has been deleted from the content db, we checked this but no accounts were marked as deleted.
The next step was to run a SQL trace while opening the reports and see what is being called.
The site ID was DDDC5D75-A52C-4FD9-8DE9-405246F54C4A, in the trace file I found the following
proc_SecGetPrincipalById @SiteId='DDDC5D75-A52C-4FD9-8DE9-405246F54C4A',@PrincipalId=9,@GetSTSToken=0,@GetExternalToken=0,@RequestGuid='0873A39C-9913-7078-5AE6-AF4064C5D2B6′
proc_SecGetPrincipalById @SiteId='DDDC5D75-A52C-4FD9-8DE9-405246F54C4A',@PrincipalId=10,@GetSTSToken=0,@GetExternalToken=0,@RequestGuid='0873A39C-9913-7078-5AE6-AF4064C5D2B6′
Checking back in the content db UserInfo table both ID's were for valid users but Id 9 was for a migrated user (an account that starts i:0#.w|domain\username) however Id 10 was a non-migrated user account (an account in the format domain\username) .
Checking the account for Id 10 there was no matching entry in AD, I can only assume this user account had been previously deleted from AD but not removed from SharePoint, hence the "User cannot be found" error.
Some more searching turned up this MS support article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2781008 describing the same issue but different circumstances, the fix is rolled into SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2, installing this patch fixed the issue for us and we could open all the reports again.
SharePoint 2010 Designer Issues
While it is always good to work with the latest and greatest versions of everything, there are still solutions running on 2010 that need maintenance.
So recently I found myself having to update a SharePoint 2010 solution that was made up of an SPD2010 workflow, a content type and library template. I had to update the content type, workflow and library template with some new and updated columns.
The library template was using a custom Edit form with some of the content type fields hidden, so I had to update the Edit form to show some new fields. To add a new field to a form you would normally edit the form table to and new rows where needed then select the field from the data source and select as 'Insert as List Form Field', unfortunately this option was no available; updating an edited form seems to be a common problem with SPD2010, as the same issue is outlined here.
My solution was as follows:
Select a field in the form where I wanted the new field and insert a new row into the form table, copy an existing control and insert into the new row, using the Common FormField Tasks control select the new control from the Data Field picker
Now Pick 'List Form Field' from the Format as picker
In the Quick Tag Selector bar the new field will be called <SharePoint:FormField#FormField1>
From the Quick Control select Edit Tag…
The Tag code is now displayed with the ID value of "FormField1"
Now check the other fields and find the control with the highest ID value and set the new tag value the be higher in the format "ff<id>{$Pos}", ensure both references to the ID value are set
If the ID numbering is incorrect a duplicate
Once completed the new control will be available on the form.
SharePoint 2013, Nintex 2013 Workflow
Recently I have been working with the various Nintex products to create a few demos and prototypes.
Recently while working with a new VM recently I noticed that some of the actions were not performing correctly and the message templates were blank from site to farm level.
None of the normal things seemed to help (IIS Reset, Reboot, Deactivate / Reactivate, Reinstall), until I came across this post on the Nintex forum.
It turned out my VM had the currently withdrawn SharePoint 20103 SP1 applied. As soon I installed the fix normal Nintex service was resumed.
Opening emails in SharePoint
As part of a recent project we used SharePoint to store emails, both via incoming emails and one of the 3rd party drag and drop tools.
Most users were happy with the solution once we had updated the MIME types to allow emails to be opened rather then downloaded, but some still mentioned they would rather that email opened directly from SharePoint rather than seeing the yellow download bar that Internet Explorer puts up.
A bit of digging around on the internet came up with the solution from this Microsoft KB article
To enable emails to be opened directly from SharePoint the trick is to disable the Internet Explorer download bar for email file types, to do this add the following registry key to your local machine.
then run the assoc command below to get your .msg file extension type (mine is for Office 2013)
Now add that file type as a zero length binary value to the key created above.
Emails will open directly from SharePoint.
SharePoint 2013 on Windows Server 2012
There are quite a few articles about installing SharePoint 2013 on Windows Server 2012 around, but I thought I would share a real world experience.
Pretty much the first thing that the SharePoint 2013 Deployment Tool does during an install is try to add the Application and Web Server roles to Windows Server.
If your Windows 2012 Server has internet access then you should have no problems, but if your server does not have internet access then you will need a copy of the Windows server ISO and these instructions below as the server roles are now on demand with Windows Server 2012.
A couple of points to note, firstly there is a typo in the instructions for the Offline method.
This instruction
Add-WindowsFeature NET-WCF-HTTP-Activation45,NET-WCF-TCP-Activation45,NET-WCF-Pipe-Activation45-Source D:\Sources\sxs
should read
Add-WindowsFeature NET-WCF-HTTP-Activation45,NET-WCF-TCP-Activation45,NET-WCF-Pipe-Activation45 -Source D:\Sources\sxs
note the space before the –Source switch
secondly, the KB article states
Note Be aware that you can also copy the files locally or specify a UNC path where the installation files are stored.
We found that having the files copied locally or the ISO file mounted locally worked fine, but trying to run over a UNC path worked for the 1st set of features but failed for the 2nd set with a PowerShell error, as soon as we mounted the ISO locally the 2nd set worked fine.
If your PowerShell works as it should, you will get a result as below.

Doing A Line-Up For The Season, Or Match-by-Match?
I'm curious how various teams handle scheduling players to play league matches. I know some captains get the season schedule and do line-ups for all matches in the beginning. Others do the line-up match-by-match. Personally, I do the line-up four matches at a time so playes know when they're playing about 1 month ahead. I've never tried any other way.
Also, how do you handle cancellations by players once the schedule is released? Do you ever "pull" a player out of a line-up and sub someone else because you feel you need a stronger player for that match?
Just wondering what works and what doesn't . . .
I think a week notice is plenty of time to give someone aobut the lineup. People can schedule themselves out of the lineup weeks in advance but there just doesn't seem to be any good reason to post a lineup a month out. Use the results of one match to decide what you want to do the next match.
If my captain pulled me out of a lineup I would quit the team. Its one thing if you're on the college team but when you're playing 3.X tennis and its that important to win, I'd rather start my own team.
I've played on teams where the team was decided 3 days before the match but the pairings and court assignments are done at the final moment the team line-up is required both singles and doubles based on who "shows up" from the other team, throwing the weakest doubles pair on court 1 to hopefully win court 2 and 3, etc.
Managing your Team
I have been using TennisOne's FREE eTennisTeam for the past couple years and I really like how easy it makes managing my teams.
Once I receive the schedule from the league coordinator I have all of my team email me back with dates they know they are unavailable. Everyone knows this might change, but from this I create a master playing schedule where everyone plays about the same amount of matches. Then I put the master schedule into TennisOne, as well as everyone's availability and it then become the player's reasonability to keep their availability up to date as the season progresses, and if they are unavailable to play a match they are scheduled for them to find their own replacement. This has worked extremely well and everyone has been very good about using this system. TennisOne can even automatically send email reminders to the team to remind everyone about the upcoming match, and can even send a confirmation to the opposing team captain if you have that information. TennisOne can also be used to schedule team practices.
There are two caveats to managing your team like I do.
1) Since I am creating a master schedule like I do, my first priority is equal playing time for everyone, so I do not even attempt to "stack" my team against the best teams in an effort to win the key matches, and I guess I could but I do not even try.
2) Since the players are reasonable to finding there subs if they can not play, you need to have players who are reasonable. I have been very lucky and have only had one player that could not get with the program, and luckily for me he choose to play on another team the next year, so I did not have to address the matter. :smile:
Good Luck
There are some good posts here and comments. I generally captain 2-3 teams a year. Once the roster is set, I tell everyone up front that we want to win and have fun, but having fun comes first. I also let them know that I will attempt to get everyone ample play time. I then ask for know absences during the season. I then put a line-up out a match at a time. I try to balance the line-up with strong players and weaker players and still try to win the card, but if we lose, we still have fun and no one is pressured to committ suicide if they don't win their match. I rarely have an issue with players and they tell me at season's end how much they enjoyed the experience. I never have a problem fielding a team with this philosphy. But I have the impression you take this much more seriously than I do. Hope it works for you, but I hope more importantly the season is fun for your roster members.
The captains I've played for usually put out a schedule every week that lists who's playing the next week, and a tentative schedule of who's playing the following couple of weeks. We're also encouraged to let the captain know in advance of any weeks we cannot play.
None of my captains have used any web-based software to manage/schedule the line-up's.
For those that use web-based software, I'd be interested to know if it's possible for a competing captain to look at your scheduled line-up ahead of time. Or, is it password protected somehow?
So, I think it would be hard, but not impossible for an opposing team captain to get access.
Very interesting comments. I was moved to ask the question because I just send out a long e-mail to the players spelling out the team's "policies," if you will.
As I mentioned, I do four matches at a time. That way I can make adjustments from what I learn after the first third of the season before I put out the next third.
I'm surprised how many captains schedule week-by-week. I would assume there would be a high potential for defaults if players couldn't make arrangements way ahead of time. If you told me today I had to play a match next Friday at 9 p.m., you'd be straight out of luck.
Then again, our league may be unusual in that matches are not one particular day a week (e.g. every Monday). Our matches can be any weeknight after 7 p.m. and any time on weekends, and our 12-match schedule will have us playing at least one match every day ofthe week. It's not like people can be expected to make themselves available for such a wacky schedule.
Here's a question: if a scheduled player says she can't play and your team schedules everyone evenly, do you try to find a make-up match for that player? Also, how do you handle court fees?
Again, I'm just being nosy . . .
Cindy, where are you located? I can see that your league matches would be a nightmare to keep up with. Around here, all matches are on the same day or night of the week, unless they are make-up. Also, we do not have court fees. One of the reasons I don't schedule matches more than two matches out is that allows me some leeway in helping players that cna't make their regular match to get a make-up match in.
As a first time captain (i.e. not knowing any better) I made out a schedule for the entire season after getting input from all my players. Who gets matched up with whom I left until the actual match day since few of my players practice together. However, I think Cindy is on to something by going the 4 match at a time route.
I'm in mid-Atlantic. All of our matches are indoors. Captains get no say in when matches will be held, nor is it possible to re-schedule a match because indoor space won't be available. I currently have 14 players on the roster for a 3-doubles match format because I need to carry a big roster to avoid defaults. The league allows up to 18 in combo and 20 in mixed.
Marc, the very first time I captained, I did a full-season schedule. After a couple of weeks, players started cancelling on me ("My husband just surprised me with a trip to the Bahamas for my birthday!!" -- yes, this really happened). Then there was a big, sweaty scramble to find someone to sub in.
The other thing that started happening was my players started wanting to know their doubles partners well in advance so they could practice, so designating a group of players without assigning partners didn't please anyone either.
Once team roster and league schedule are set players are surveyed for unavailable dates. Then I 'rough draft' a master play schedule with equal play time as a goal but one which might match a more effective line-up against what I suspect might be stronger teams. Finally, a two week schedule is emailed each week confirming the upcoming match and setting the following week line-up. Doing this, I have an overall idea of who's available and how we might play while the distributed two-week scheduling allows for flexibility as player's plans and/or possible team needs may change as season progresses. This provides 10-12 days 'lead' time for scheduled players, gives time for partners to practice, and it also makes it easier to pre-arrange subs for any possible last minute needs. I try to find another opportunity for a player who misses a scheduled match for unfortunate reason or circumstance. (Last minute golf and/or softball conflicts don't count!! LOL) Works or Excel spreadsheet works fine. Finally, I do not 'pull' players once the line-ups are emailed.
Our matches are like Cindy's, every week is different, but we try to make all home matches the same time and day. We send availability out for the season at the beginning, but if you become unavailable you should tell the captain as soon as possible. Sometimes you send in availability as "if you tell me three weeks or better in advance on this one I can get a carpool for my daughter, otherwise I can't make it." or "I can play the 7:15 slot, but not the 6pm slot." (Some of our matches have split starts, three at 6pm, the final two at 7:15). Then we send try to send out lineups two or three weeks ahead, but more if we have people that need notice. We tend to schedule by doubles teams, rather than coming up with a lineup and then deciding who gets to partner with who. I've seen captains pull people after the lineup was published to replace them with better players very occasionally, and it usually ended up being a major disaster. As for paying for courts, we play out of a club, so for us court time is free.
For a few years I ran our interclub team (play for fun, scores are tossed, everyone eats lunch). We would send out lineups three months in advance, and then reminders a week in advance. Every week I needed to put in subs for folks that suddenly had other committments. If you were on the sub list you always got to play. I usually then had to start calling people not on the sub list.
If you're in it to try and win every match then most of the time Captains (or coaches) will select the line-up on a week-to-week basis. If you are playing a weak team, put in weaker players. If you are playing a strong team, put in your stronger players.
Just depends on your and your teams' goals for the season.
I guess our women take things more seriously out here on the west coast.
At the beginning of the season we have a team meeting and discuss goals, uniforms (quite important, lol), and play time. We vote -- and it's usually for a competitive season, with a minimum of 2 matches guaranteed for each player.
At our club, we have team sign-ups, and then our club's coaches determine the A/B team rosters. "A" teams are always competitive and have the best players. B teams have the option of deciding competitive vs. social play. If only one team is in any rating level, they also determine competitive vs. social.
We use evite.com to coordinate availability. The BEST thing ever. It is in real-time, so updates appear immediately -- the whole team knows how many people are availabe, if their partners are available, and any last-minute drop-outs. It also helps with the food assignments. (We have to provide a food spread & wine for all home matches.)
We generally give 5 days notice for lineups. In the meantime, players can look on evite.com and get a pretty good idea of player availability by the number of rsvps.
We announce partnerships at the time of lineup -- 5 days out. But we wait until we get to the actual match to determine #1, #2, #3 lineups. We see who actually comes out from the other team to determine where we put everyone.
As the season progresses it becomes obvious who the stronger teams are -- and then the lineups are chosen accordingly. The short lead time also lets you put in players who happen to be playing well at any particular time. Players really do peak at different times during the season.
This, I guess, is the competitive route of things.....

Jesse issued a public apology yesterday, but you guys are still very surprised by the stories surrounding him. New details about Michelle keep coming out, including disturbing images from a Nazi-themed photo shoot and information about her and Jesse's trysts.

He shouldn't have married if he knew the sex would be boring for him with Sandra Bullock especially if he preferred uninhibited sex with women in the sex industry. Perhaps he just found someone he has more in common with. Sandra Bullock isn't snow white just as no-one is in any relationship when it breaks down, takes two to tango. I recall Sandra B saying she was amazed that he was willing to put up with her controlling nature. BUT that doesn't give anyone the green card to cheat. As for people bringing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie into it are truly stupid. His ex wife said he didn't cheat and I believe her, if he was going to cheat he wouldn't have told her he was attracted to AJ, cheaters don't do that. She should the know truth about her relationship not silly bloggers projecting their own lives onto them. JJ's and SB were obviously not suited for the long haul.

If this affair is real, then, although people will comment harshly, I doubt he'll be losing any jobs or whatever. I heard he built really good chopper or something. And building great vehicle has nothing to do with his character as a husband.But they/paps really shouldn't be asking adult questions around his children though. That's horrible for the kids.:sigh:

It's just a meaningless piece of jewelry to some people, I'm sure he wore it when he was with that piece of trash too. Sad now that she's getting her 15 minutes of fame. What suprised me the most is when I first heard Sandra married this guy, I said uh oh, saw this coming from a mile away!

Mama - I agree. I saw a video of him with his kids and some of the questions the paps were asking were so inappropriate. Don't ask the guy about his affair when he is with his kids.

Okay it would be nice for the paps to leave him alone when he's with his kids... I mean that poor little girl doesn't need to see all these goons trying to capture if Jesse is wearing his wedding ring or what his demeanor is like. I know he brought it upon himself and his family, but the story seems to be true to some extent....why else would he apologize? Let them be and move on.

Wow #1, that is quite a leap. Not even worth a comment. Since Mr. James is still married, I am not sure why he would not be wearing a ring. Technically, he is also not separated either. But his chances are not good, I would hope.

What an idiot. He just screwed over America's Sweetheart. Although seeing as how Brad and Angie have gotten away with it, maybe it won't affect his career that much.

Parliamentary affairs minister M Venkaiah Naidu had a tough time persuading party elder LK Advani to occupy the seat next to prime minister Narendra Modi, the place where he sat on Wednesday. Advani refused to do so on Thursday morning.
Naidu then asked him to sit in the first row. Advani sat in the first row's far corner, along with Ram Vilas Paswan, Sushma Swaraj and Rajnath Singh.
Since the parliamentary affairs minister has a prerogative on seats, Naidu wanted to find a place for Advani in the front row, which is usually meant for cabinet ministers. During the last 10 years, Congress president and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi was in the front row.
The situation turned piquant when Advani walked into the party's parliamentary office, a room where the party spokespersons usually holds informal interactions with the media. Advani seems to have avoided his own room, which he has been occupying as the BJP's parliamentary party leader and also as the acting chairman of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee remains chairman though he has been ailing for the last few years and he has not taken part in any of the NDA or BJP activities.
Perhaps Advani is aware of the complexity of the situation, and thus remains hesitant to use the room meant for the NDA chairman or sit in the front row of the treasury benches. The name plate of Advani as Working NDA chairman has been duly removed as per his instructions, according to sources.

LEAST LIKELY TO END UP ON THE SIDE OF A MILK CARTON (A/K/A MOST OVEREXPOSED): Charlize Theron, Joaquin Phoenix, Helen Hunt, Carson Daly and Tara Reid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Donato Dalrymple, Richard Hatch. Take a vacation, people! Start by staying home just one night! Watch yourselves on TV!
WHO WANTS TO MARRY A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE?: Not me. Just give me a poverty-stricken shlub without a restraining order.
LET'S PUT AN END TO: "A star-making performance." As in "Barry Pepper gives a star-making performance in Battlefield Earth." Please! Also, let's have no more corny songs sung at movie funerals ("American Pie" in The Next Best Thing and "Na, Na, Hey, Hey [Kiss Him Goodbye]" in Remember the Titans). Even fictional farewells should not be used to sell soundtracks!
MOST HORRIFYING FINALE (don't read this if you'd rather not have the plot twist of a movie ruined): The shocking closer of Robert Altman's gynecological comedy, Dr. T & the Womeneven more of a jaw-dropper than the endings of Psycho, Thelma & Louise, and The Sixth Sense combined. It involvedget out your vomit bagsa loving close-up of a woman's giant vagina giving birth in all of its life-affirming glory. Blechhhhhh!!!! Gag me! Make it go away! Make it drive off a cliff!
SIMILARLY, HERE'S WHY I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO SEE THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES: I just can't stomach anything with that word in the title. You know, monologues.
THAT DREAD MOMENT HAS ARRIVED: Madonna was on the cover of Good Housekeeping, and what's worse, the cover line was "Madonna Grows Upolder and wiser, she talks about her wild past, her worst mistake, and why she's trying to be an old-fashioned mom." No!!!!! Make it go far away! Why have I lived this long?
MOST REPETITIVE DIALOGUE ABOUT MADONNA'S CHARACTER IN THE NEXT BEST THING: "You're a great lay," "You are the most beautiful woman I know," "You're not just a mother, Abbie, you're beautiful," " . . . your fantastic body," etc. All right, already, you're so gorgeous you could make a gay guy like gynecology, OK?
WEIRDEST TONY AWARDS MOMENT: In her acceptance speech, Aida's Heather Headley, who won for playing a noble slave, said that she'd gladly work for Disney forever!
WHO'S ZOOMING WHO?: The Miami relatives of Elián González claimed that photos of the kid happily reunited with his dad were doctoredthis from the people who'd just starred him in that whiny video in which he kept looking at them for direction! They all should head right to Sundance!
HONEST MISTAKES?: Hillary Clinton didn't tip a diner waitress after being given a free breakfast (as a comp lifestyler, I happen to know you're supposed to tip extra); Jennifer Lopez appeared on the cover of Talk cocking her fingers in a shoot-'em-up position (Puffy must have pistol-whipped her ass after that); critic Rex Reed forgot to pay for several CDs at Tower (and here's the embarrassing partthey were Peggy Lee, Mel Tormé, and Carmen McRae); George W. Bush became desperate to stop manual recounts in Florida, even though he'd signed a law in Texas saying that was by far the best way to go (yeah, but he meant in Texas, not in Florida, right?); and on her dismal TV show, Dr. Laura Schlessinger gushed to a guest who said she was a professional note-taker for college athletes, "I'm really honored you have the courage to come here today." But it really didn't take a whole lot of courage, did it, since the woman turned out to be a staffer on the show. And the segment was about cheating! What a bunch of cheesy 'hos!
WORST MOVIES: The Beach, Return to Me (I only saw the first half), Battlefield Earth (I only saw the first third), The Replacements (I only saw the first tenth), Coming Soon, Dinosaur, Quills, Urbania, Duets, Vatel, and any other piece of caca with a one-word title.
SOMETHING'S ROTTEN: I didn't mind the Pepsi One product placement in the Ethan Hawke Hamlet, but I simply couldn't abide it when Hawke said, "What a piece of work is a man." They added the a! Will must have been rolling!
MOST UNAPPEALING PERFORMANCES: Gwyneth Paltrow in Duets (she did the misbegotten karaoke-as-a-way-of-life epic as a favor to Daddy, but managed to tarnish both their careers); Diane Lane in The Perfect Storm (with her nonstop sobbing, she out-showered the hurricane but unfortunately couldn't drown out the dialogue); Al Gore's concession speech.
SAD FACT: The supposed troll on Queer as Folk is cuter than I am. But I have way more soul!
BY THE WAY, IF THE SCHINDLER'S FIST JOKE IN THAT SAME SHOWTIME SERIES SOUNDS A LITTLE FAMILIAR: It may be because you read it first in this column positively years ago. I'm mad as folk!
TWO THINGS I HATE ABOUT BEING A FREELANCE WRITER: Magazines that keep postponing running an article you've written, then say, "We can't possibly go with this now because it's so dated." Also, magazines that completely rewrite your article to fit their style, then say, "We can't possibly run this now because it doesn't have enough of your voice in it." But don't get me started.
LIVIN' LA VIDA REALLY LOCA: Studiously enough, practically every other word in Ricky Martin's hit songs was she. You know, "She bangs, she booms, she fucks, she sucks my dick, she does a mean salsa dance," and so on. All right, girl, we get it!
DUELING HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZAS: A Very Jackie Christmas at the Slipper Room used a burlesque theme to make it clear that a transsexual's naked snatch is the ultimate yuletide gift and the real snow this season is coke and lots of it. At Grove Street Playhouse, Christmas With the Crawfordsstarring Joey Arias and Matthew Martintrots out every familiar Mommie Dearest utterance ("Bring me the ax!") with giddy high spirits and celebrity-impersonation drop-ins that transform the beloved holy day into a celebration of the real J.C.Joan Crawford. Ho-ho-homosexuals love it!
LATE-BREAKING GOSSIP: Britney Spears and mom recently went shopping for decorative household items at a major downtown store. The verdict? "Bad taste." Big shock!

Celebs Out & About: Rihanna, Mary J Blige, Diana Ross, Holly Robinson Peete, J.B. Smoove
Bajan singer Rihanna was seen waving at the paparazzi — one day after shocking video surfaced online of her cursing and shouting at hard working photogs. One of the paparazzo uploaded the video to the Internet so Rihanna's fans can see just how nasty and rude she is when she thinks no one is looking. The 26-year-old rude gal was dragged unmercifully on Twittter.com. Maybe now she will be more polite to people. She should respect everyone — whether they are photogs or bloggers.

fanMAIL: The irony of black people laughing at Floyd Mayweather's alleged illiteracy
Over the weekend, one of my loyal readers emailed me audio of Power 105's The Breakfast Club poking fun at boxer Floyd Mayweather's alleged illiteracy. It wasn't easy ignoring the trending topic of 50 Cent's ignorant public humiliation of Mayweather on social media platform Twitter.com. But I managed to ignore it — until I received emails from loyal readers who gave me a different perspective on the ignorance.
For instance, did you know that nearly half of all black people can't read? The irony is that half of the people who laughed at Mayweather can't read above a 4th grade level themselves.
Celebs Out & About: Halle Berry, Wendy Williams, Mary J. Blige, Nene Leakes
Tongues are wagging about actress Halle Berry's worrisome unexplained weight loss after giving birth to her son Maceo Robert Martinez 6 months ago. The wafer thin 47-year-old was spotted filming her new tv drama series "Extant" in Beverly Hills Ca on Tuesday. Rumor has it that Halle and her hubby, French actor Olivier Martinez are living separately. Poor thing. Her run of bad luck with men continues.

Shorto acknowledges his debt to the work of Gehring, who says the documents "went through many harrowing experiences over the years," such as being shipped back and forth between Boston and New York, surviving two fires, and outlasting the Revolutionary War by being stowed aboard two British warships. What's left is hard to translate, he says, being written in an archaic Dutch and requiring much research to place the documents in their proper context. Gehring says that approximately 60 percent of the translation work is done, and that "the documents that remain to be translated are some of the most badly damaged." With grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and additional money provided by the Friends of New Netherland, Gehring hopes to finish translating in order to tell the colony's "marginalized and minimized" history.
Distinguishing between the parts of our American DNA that are British and Dutch matters, Shorto argues. "Put elements of the two togetherseventeenth-century Dutch tolerance and free-trade principles and eighteenth-century English ideas about self-governmentand you have a recipe for a new kind of society." Plus, it's nice to know that so much of what's frustrating about modern American societyits lingering puritanismcan be blamed on those intolerant theocrats who founded the English colonies, and who, with their city-upon-a-hill exceptionalism leading to ideas like our manifest destiny, left a newly open society with the machinery to close minds. You can have straitlaced Massachusetts with its Salem witch trials and 2 a.m. bar closing time; I'll take Dutch Manhattan any day.

- You or someone you know might have to give up that performance-based raise.
The Energy Department is telling senior executives there the pay hikes they got late last year will be cancelled on Sunday.
Energy says OPM ordered the move as part of the two-year federal pay freeze.
This affects about eight hundred people. But Federal News Radio has learned that number could grow to include other members of the SES.
- OPM is asking for changes to your federal employee health insurance.
The agency has given insurance carriers a list of requests for 2012.
It includes health and wellness programs aimed at employee productivity ... and promoting generic drugs.
OPM has outlined ALL of its requests in a letter to carriers.
- The State Department is adding more green power to its portfolio. They've signed a new energy savings agreement aimed at getting 45 percent of their electricity from renewable sources. Constellation Energy will provide the power, which includes wind and solar energy. This is a joint project with Federal Prison Industries to reduce the State Department's greenhouse gas emissions.

Aston Villa attacker Patrik Berger says teammate Gabby Agbonhalor has everything to become a great Premiership striker.
Berger told the Villa website: "He played for the reserve team when I came here and I think he has improved massively over that time.
"Now he knows how to use his speed. He can hold the ball very well and he's scoring goals. That's what it's all about. He has the speed and he can score goals. So I think he is a very important player for us.
"He will get even better and the confidence comes. The more he plays in the Premier League and the more he plays against the top players, he will realise they are only human beings and he can play against anyone.
"He is strong, he has the speed and he is improving every single game. I think he is one of the top strikers in the League."

Michael and Doris Cassone
The Lawrenceville residents have been married 73 years and have three children.
Cooperation. She raised all the children and I went to work and worked my head off to bring home the bacon, and I gave her everything she wanted.
You can't give up. There's things that happen in life that you don't like or that goes the other way and isn't what you want. Don't give up. Keep on going. Tomorrow is always another day and another day to do better things. Stay together. Don't run away.
Sydney Benefield, 4
from Lawrenceville
"Hugs and kisses"
Dwayne and Joy Faircloth
The couple manage the Laurel Grove retirement community in Lawrenceville. They have been married 40 years
I think that we love people and then I think we're in love with people. I think being in love with your mate, finding your soul mate, respect for each other, best friends, just unconditional love.
Learning to give 100 percent and not to expect anything back.

"That you love your husband and that you like flowers"
Norman and Dina Leikach
The Lawrenceville
residents have been married 56 years. Norman iemigrated to America from Poland and Dina is from Israel.
Trust each other. Forgive and trust and take care of each other.
I trust her and she trusts me, and we've had a nice marriage for 56 years.
Ken and Vanessa Reed
Ken is pastor of Mosaic Christian Fellowship in Suwanee, where both he and Vanessa serve in ministry. The Lawrenceville residents have been married 18 years and have five children.
For me, what it takes is we're both in ministry and I think anchoring our relationship in our faith and God has really been the sustainer. We kept the courtship. We try to stay true to our Friday night date nights and so I think that's been, if I can say anything other than anchoring in our faith, is to keep your relationship where you found it.
Foundationally, we understand that we grow more interdependent on each other as the years go by. We still fuss, I don't think we argue, what people would call argue, but we'll disagree on stuff and that's where we say, 'OK, how do we resolve that conflict?,' so we've come up with different ways to do that within our relationship that keep anything from escalating.
Amador and
Yesenia Gutierrez
Owners of Pura Enchilada in Lawrenceville, the couple has been married a year.
Commitment, that's pretty much the key. Respect and communication. You have to have the same goals. You have to look for the same things. If you don't, it's like going two different ways. We talk about our dreams together and it's the same.
I think the first thing is love.
Ken and Patty Lindahl
The Snellville residents grew up living next door to one another in Michigan and have been married 37 years. Both teach theater at Brookwood High School. They have three children.
I would say patience, certainly. Especially true of us as teachers working in theater, one might be ready to go home and the other might have something to do before heading out the door. I think our faith has played a large part of (it), too.
A lot of understanding and trust. Never letting the big arguments turn into something bigger. We usually end up laughing at the end of an argument. We know it's insignificant in the whole scheme of things.
Lilly Chavis, 5
from Winder
"It means Mom and Dad"
Mike and Jani Lee
The owners of Jack Brown's Cafe in Lawrenceville will
celebrate 21 years of marriage in June. The couple has two children.
I think it's friendship.
Definitely. That's how we started.
Mike: We're best friends and we started out as friends and it grew from there. I think the next thing is what underlies friendship. It's commitment and loyalty. We've always been true to each other and straightforward with each other and it's what best friends do. When the bumps come in the road, you don't give up.

Supremacist gets 26 to life in killing of molester
A Northern California white supremacist convicted of killing a child molester has been sentenced to 26 years to life in prison, while his wife - convicted of being an accessory - will be released from jail in about two months.
The Sacramento Bee reports ( http://bit.ly/17D3Y4l) that 48-year-old Charles Francis Gaskins was sentenced Friday for the killing of Neil Hayes in 2009. A probation report says Gaskins was a member of a supremacist group that required its members to attack anybody with a history of child molestation.
The newspaper says Gaskins and his wife - Sandra Sheaves - was living in a home she owned in Carmichael when they allowed the 66-year-old Hayes to move in. Gaskins had met Hayes while they were both serving time in prison.
Prosecutors say when Gaskins and Sheaves confronted Hayes in the garage of the home, Gaskins repeatedly hit him in the head with a large rock.

A woman in South Carolina was charged with neglect after she allowed her two children to walk a mile to a store while she took a
The Herald of Rock Hill reported that the 27-year-old Candace Amber Cole was being held in the York County Jail on two counts of child neglect.
Police say that the woman's 5-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son walked from their home to a gas station while she was sleeping.
A store employee flagged down a cop.
The report says that the children told the cop that they had gone to the store to pick up toilet paper. When the police arrived at their home, they found the door open and Cole was asleep.
The children are currently under the care of their grandmother.

We are developing a new homeless strategy along with our partners as part of a consultation which aims to tackle the on-going issue of homelessness in the city.
We're working closely with our partners, including Housing Associations, advice agencies and voluntary groups and charities, to establish the extent of homelessness in the city and the demand of resources needed to support this.
Councillor Sarah Russell, Cabinet Member for Housing, Welfare and Finance, thinks the new strategy is a good opportunity:
"Renewing the strategy gives us a chance to talk to our key contacts and re-establish the needs that are there. Working together we can develop a new plan that will help us tackle homelessness in the city.
"We can't do this without the views of anyone who has experience or ideas in this area, so if this sounds like you, please do get in touch.
"We appreciate homelessness is a very distressing experience and it is a key priority for the Council which we aim to improve as well as prevent as best we can."
As part of the consultation we aims to consider the views of everyone with an interest in homelessness, including people who have experienced homelessness themselves. This also includes as many organisations involved in working to prevent homelessness as well as elected representatives and members of the public.
Anyone interested in taking part in the consultation can visit www.derby.gov.uk/homelessness for more information. Alternatively please email the Housing Strategy Team at firstname.lastname@example.com to share their views or for further information.
Markets are held every third Thursday in each month throughout the year on the Market Place in Derby. To apply for a market stall or enquire about current availability telephone 01332 287362.
