THE Montreal protocol, the ground-breaking deal to save the ozone layer, is 20 years old this week, and there's plenty to celebrate. Ozone-destroying chemicals have stopped increasing in the stratosphere, and ozone levels in most places could be back to pre-1980 levels by 2050, according to the latest assessment. Even the infamous ozone hole over Antarctica may close by 2075.
It is a rare environmental good-news story, but there is no room for complacency. The ozone layer isn't safe yet, partly because of glaring and avoidable mistakes that have been in the treaty since 1987. Countries are still allowed to use chemicals that destroy ozone - and contribute to global warming. When the signatory governments meet in Montreal again this week to review progress, let's hope they don't fall into the same trap.
First, though, give credit where it is due. The Montreal protocol is well worth celebrating ...

Myelodysplastic Syndromes are a group of diseases that affect blood cells. In the past, MDS was often referred to as "pre-leukemia" or "smoldering leukemia," but since most people with these diseases do not develop leukemia they are now considered to be a separate form of cancer. People with MDS are at higher risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia, AML.
MDS is a stem cell cancer. Stem cells are immature cells stored in the bone marrow that gradually develop to form the various types of blood cells, including red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells. In MDS, the stem cells do not mature properly. This means that there are large numbers of immature cells, called blasts, and abnormal or dysplastic cells in the blood. These immature, abnormal cells do not function effectively and crowd out the mature cells. There are several different types of MDS.
Myelo refers to blood cells. Dysplastic means that the blood cells are abnormal in shape and function. In MDS, these abnormalities can affect different kinds of blood cells and take different forms.
Approximately 10,000 people a year are diagnosed with some form of MDS. The average age of people diagnosed with MDS is 65 and at least 80% are over the age of 60. About one third of people with MDS develop a form of leukemia called acute myeloid leukemia..
Age is the most significant risk factor for MDS. It occurs most frequently in people over 60 and is rare in children and young people. People who have been treated for a previous cancer and received certain chemotherapy drugs and/or radiation therapy have an increased incidence of MDS, as do people with specific genetic syndromes, such as Down syndrome. Exposure to benzene and other toxic substances, especially with smoking can increase the incidence as well.
Many people with MDS do not have any symptoms of their disease, and it is diagnosed when they have a blood test for some other reason. When people do have symptoms, they are usually caused by having a low number of normal blood cells. This can result in paleness, fatigue, easy bruising, feeling weak, frequent infections and shortness of breath or dizziness.
MDS is known as an indolent disorder, meaning that it often evolves very slowly.
Other patients have a history of blood disorders known as cytopenias, or abnormally low numbers of one or more type of blood cell. They may have had infections or transfusions as a result of these problems. Cytopenias can also be caused by other conditions, or by medications that people take, so it is important to evaluate the reasons for these they happen and distinguish them from those other diseases or conditions.
MDS is usually diagnosed by using laboratory tests. These include a complete blood count which provides information on the numbers of each type of blood cell. Doctors also examine a sample of the blood under the microscope to look for abnormal and immature cells, blasts, which are characteristic of MDS. This is called a peripheral blood smear.
The blood cells will also be analyzed to determine if there are any specific genetic mutations or chromosomal abnormalities. This is called cytogenetics or molecular profiling and is an increasingly important part of diagnosing and treating cancers. Blood cells are stored in the bone marrow, the soft, spongy tissue inside of large bones, so it is important to obtain a bone marrow biopsy in diagnosing MDS. Patients with MDS often have large numbers of specific types of immature cells in their bone marrow, for example, the cells that are supposed to develop into platelets. Examining the bone marrow also allows the doctor to identify specific genetic abnormalities that are associated with MDS. This provides one way of distinguishing MDS from other blood disorders and categorizing the type of MDS involved. (Remember MDS is a group of diseases.)
MDS Subtypes: The terms used to describe the subtypes of MDS are very technical and describe specific features of the various blood cells. These terms are explained below. There are seven subtypes of MDS. Knowing the subtype is important to determining the best treatment an assessing the prognosis, as well as the probability that the disease will progress to AML.
Refractory anemia: People with this type have low numbers of red blood cells, anemia. Their white blood cell counts and platelet counts are normal. They have less than 5% blasts, immature cells in their bone marrow, and less than 1% blasts in their peripheral blood smear. This type of MDS usually does not turn into acute myelocytic leukemia. Refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts: Sideroblasts are deposits of iron seen in red blood cells. If there is a large amount of iron, they are known as ringed sideroblasts. People with this type of MDS have greater than 15% ringed sideroblasts. Refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia: People with this kind of MDS have less than 5% blasts in their bone marrow but have two or more cells lines that are abnormal, such as platelets and red blood cells.
Refractory anemia with excess blasts: People whose bone marrow has between 5-19% blasts have this type of MDS. This group is subdivided by how the number of blasts in the blood.
Refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation: People with this type of MDS have 21-30% blasts in their bone marrow or 5% or more blasts in their blood. Some classification systems view this as a form of acute myelocytic leukemia.
MDS Unclassified: People who have low blood counts for one more type of blood cell but few or no blasts have unclassified MDS.
5Q Syndrome: People with this type of MDS have anemia, fewer than 5% blasts and a specific genetic abnormality on chromosome 5.
CMML: Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia: This type of leukemia is a mixture of MDS and leukemia. They have blasts which are characteristic of MDS but also have greatly increased numbers of monocytes, a type of white blood cell, which is more characteristic of leukemia.
The major goals of treating MDS are to manage any symptoms of the disease and to decrease the risk that it will progress to acute leukemia. Doctors use a system that assesses the prognosis of each patient in deciding on the best treatment.
This system looks a variety of factors including the percentage of blasts in the bone marrow, the types of blood cells that are affected, the types of genetic or chromosomal abnormalities found. They also take into account the age, the overall health of the patient and whether there is a history of red blood cell transfusions. They use these factors to assign a score that indicates the prognosis for overall survival and the risk that the MDS will progress to AML. This is known as risk stratification.
The risk categories are:
MDS is a chronic disease, one that people live with for years. Helping patients live normal, active lives is a very important part of the treatment for MDS. A large number of patients with MDS are older people who often have other diseases and conditions which can influence the treatment plan. Treatments can include:
Red blood cell transfusions: This is done to treat the anemia that is often a part of MDS, and is a very common component of managing symptoms and treating MDS. Patients who receive many red blood cell transfusions need to be monitored closely for an excessive build up or iron.
Growth Factors: These stimulate the growth of various blood cells. These tend to become less effective the longer they are used with MDS patients so they are often reserved for patients who have low white cell counts and frequent infections that do not respond well to antibiotics.
Low intensity chemotherapy: There are a number of chemotherapy drugs that work well in treating MDS. Some are more appropriate for patients with the lower risk subtypes while others are used for patients who are at high risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia. Many MDS patients receive what is known as low intensity therapy--lower doses of drugs and agents which cause minimal side effects-in combination with biological response modifiers.
Biological response modifiers: These are low intensity agents that work in different ways to stimulate the immune system or promote the growth of healthy blood cells.
High intensity therapy: The goal of high intensity therapy is to change the natural history of the disease--to prevent it from progressing. This is done by using high doses of chemotherapy in the initial treatment, known as induction therapy, and with stem cell transplants. This approach to treatment has the potential for long term, even permanent remissions, but also carries with it a much greater risk to the patient of serious side effects and even death. High intensity therapy and stem cell transplants should only be done in centers with the expertise and experience in treating MDS. Many high intensity protocols are clinical trials. Patients should discuss these options with their treatment teams.
Stem Cell Transplant: Stem cell transplant is the only potential cure for patients with MDS. This involves destroying the patient's diseased bone marrow with high dose chemotherapy and then replacing it with healthy cells from a donor. This is a high risk procedure and is usually only recommended for patients with under 60 years old and have a donor whose blood matches theirs.
AML: When MDS does progress to AML,(MDS-AML). it is often more resistant to standard treatment than AML that begins without a history of MDS (de novo AML). For this reason, it is treated with somewhat different treatment protocols than de novo AML. Patients with advanced MDS or MDS that has progressed to AML should be consider participating in a clinical trial.
Supportive Care: Blood diseases--and their treatment can cause a number of problems. Patients with MDS need good supportive care to address these issues, which can include anemia, infections and the accumulation of excessive iron in the system. Anemia, the result of too few healthy red blood cells, is a significant problem for MDS patients. Recognizing and treating the fatigue and other issues that are caused by anemia is an important part of the overall treatment plan for this disease.
Patients with MDS will need to be monitored very closely for the rest of their lives. This will include all the tests that were done to make the diagnosis. MDS is a complex group of diseases, so it is important that patients receive care in centers that have expertise and experience with treating all aspects of MDS.
MDS is not a one disease, but a group of diseases that happens when stem cells in the bone marrow do not mature normally. This can lead to low numbers of red cells, white cells and platelets which can cause a number of symptoms. MDS is considered to be a form of cancer but in some cases it can also progress to acute myelogenous leukemia. For most patients, it is a chronic disease, one that they live with for a number of years. Managing symptoms and keeping people active is an important goal of treatment. MDS is complicated and should be treated and followed in centers which have experience and expertise in managing all types of MDS. Cancer Bites.

Salim Sayegh speaks at a sports center in Shiyah, Lebanon, Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011. (The Daily Star/Mohammad Azakir)
BEIRUT: Kataeb Party official Salim Sayegh urged the opposition March 14 coalition to reconsider its approach to the National Dialogue and formulate a plan to topple the Lebanon government.
"The opposition must develop a truly strategic approach to the National Dialogue and another strategy to topple the government," Sayegh told a local television station.
The Future Movement-led March 14 has repeatedly called for the departure of Prime Minister Najib Mikati's government, blaming it for the country's breakdown in security and the decline in the socio-economic situation.
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, a pillar of March 14, said in recent comments that the opposition will not stage a revolution to topple the Hezbollah-dominated government.
Sayegh also expressed the belief that comments made by Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah shortly after President Michel Sleiman's Army Day speech Wednesday were in response to what Sleiman said.
"Nasrallah's speech came in response to President Sleiman who stressed that there should be no sharing of Lebanon's sovereignty," Sayegh said.
Sleiman was firm on the issue of military tasks and illegal weapons in his Army Day speech Wednesday.
"Yes to participating in national defense ... but no to participating in the duties of the army and the legitimate forces in [maintaining] security, [safeguarding] sovereignty, or using the elements of power that are the exclusive right of the state, and no to weapons that are randomly spread or pulling the trigger for goals outside national consensus," Sleiman said.

A Gambian-born artist based in Vienna, Austria, was recently signed by the world's RnB rap mogul-50 Cent, under one his labels -G-NOTES RECORDS, if reports reaching What's On is anything to go by. John Kwesi, widely known by his music sobriquet Deejay Limbo, is a Gambian born to a Ghanaian father and a Gambian mother. He was raised in Latri Kunda German neighbourhood before he moved to Austria.
G- Notes records was created by 50 cent in 2010 for non-hip hop artists and it came after the success of former G-Unit subsidiary label -'G-Unit South' and 'G-Unit Philly', then 50 Cent decided to create another subsidiary in 2009. Unlike the two other subsidiary labels, 'G-Note Records' is a hip hop based label including Pop, Dance and R&B music. The label was founded in late 2010 with the first two artists signed, namely-Governor and Hot Rod. The first official music that was released under the label was that of 'Hot Rod's first single called 'Dance With Me'.
Since then with increased formidable emerging stars in the entertainment world, it believed that 50 Cent intended to sign more acts to the label in the upcoming year, including R&B singer Jovan Dais, who was featured on the original version of his single 'Baby By Me', Zimbabwean singer -Gamu Nhengu, and singer Jeremih, who he has recently worked on a couple of projects with. The second single released on the label was Governor's, the song was called 'Here We Go Again' and featured 50 Cent himself.
According to the label official site, 50 Cent in an interview with G-Unit Radio 50 Cent, said he created the label because there was a gap in the market and taking into account the group G Unit has a distinctive aggressive style and so also everyone on the label's style was expected to be aggressive. So in essence it's also a platform for the artist to make all different style of music.
However, during an interview with What's On, Deejay Limbo as fondly called, disclosed that the whole move came to light after the label officials watched his videos on YouTube as well as listened to some of his songs on SoundCloud.
"Yea... after listening to one song of mine...they wrote me.. inviting me for an audition in London.. Then my manager replied with other songs of mine then they wrote back showing interest of signing me with no need of me going through audition.
"This is welcome news and I want to say a big thx to all my fans friends in Gambia , the radio stations and all the Dj's especially Enc. I dedicate this to my parents and the Gambia as a whole. My intention is to put the Gambia's on world map musically. Also special thanks to Hakim of Sunland Music," he said.

It has been a tough season thus far for the Pierson/Bridgehampton Whalers boys' basketball team, having endured four losses in their first four games of the 2010-2011 season. The Whalers ended 2010 0-1 in Suffolk County league eight play and 0-4 overall, having dropped their only league matchup to Southold, as well as two non-league matchups to East Hampton and one to Hampton Bays.
Despite the tough start to the season, Pierson/Bridgehampton coach Dan White is still optimistic about his team's chances at a playoff berth. Making the playoffs this year will be quite the accomplishment for the first-year coach, after the Whalers finished the 2009-2010 season with a 2-16 record.
"When you go 2-16 the previous year and then all of a sudden you're in a position to win games, it's a totally different mentality. We're trying to get through that and when we do, we can do some damage."
"Our goals are still intact. Our goal has been to make the playoffs and that's still the goal. We're better right now than where we started. We have proved we can play with good teams. The team still has their goal and they still believe in it."
Pierson/Bridgehampton's season started with a pair of tough games against East Hampton (3-5, 0-2), and it was clear that while the wins didn't come, the Whalers were finding their identity as a team. The Whalers kept the scoreline manageable at 44-33 in the teams' first meeting, then pushed into overtime in their second, dropping the second contest 53-51. The second East Hampton game on December 12 provided coach White with his first real insight into what the Whalers need to do to run with the league's elite.
"In that East Hampton game, the guys got out to a lead and started to think: 'oh my gosh, we can win this!' But then, all of a sudden, they get nervous. Instead of trying to keep all the doors open, they get nervous. They've got to understand that when you're in a position to win, you have to really put the nail in the coffin, but that's a learning experience."
White does know that there are things the Whalers are doing well and things the Whalers can work on to improve their playoff chances.
"When we make a commitment to get the ball inside, and when we make a commitment to playing good half court defense, that's what we hang our hat on. Whenever we get away from that we start to struggle a bit. We've also got to become better at taking care of the ball and doing a better job of looking out for each other on the weak side. We need to do a better job, too, of playing for each other on offense. We've started to do it, but we have to do it all the time." White points to four individuals who have really carried the team when it comes to production and leadership.
"Seamus Doyle, Skyler Loesch, Jake Weingartner and Patrick Sloane have stepped up as far as scoring, being leaders and playing the majority of our minutes. They've also been really good on defense. We've really been relying on them."
"Jake Weingartner has come back and been really important for me this year. He didn't play last year, but played varsity as a Sophomore, so I wasn't sure how he was going to fit in. He's a smart kid and he knows the game of basketball and he's been great."
Despite two stinging losses to close out 2010, confidence in the Whalers' camp is still high. Though it won't show up on the score sheet, the Whalers took home a scrimmage victory against Sayville, which has given the team vital momentum ahead of their first games of the new year.
"We went to Sayville and got a win in the scrimmage. On top of that, we had a really good week of practice. We may face our toughest games coming right out of the break, but I think we're ready."
"We've got Greenport, Stony Brook and Port Jefferson coming up. Those are the three best teams in the league, so that's going to be a difficult run for us. We'll be competitive if we do the things we need to do. We're going to have to do some damage against some of the lesser teams in the league to put ourselves in position to make the playoffs."
The Whalers get their season back underway on Friday with a league eight matchup against Greenport (5-0, 2-0). Greenport's two league eight victories came against Bridgehampton (0-5, 0-1) – a 66-34 blowout on December 15 – and against Southold (3-3, 1-1) – a 61-54 victory on Tuesday.
Pierson/Bridgehampton will need to work hard to stop Greenport's Dantre Langhorne, who scored 27 points each in his last two games and hasn't scored fewer than 20 points once this season.

The Swift Current Comp. Colts concluded the regular season in the Moose Jaw High School Football League with a 34-13 loss to the visiting Moose Jaw AE Peacock Tornadoes on Friday at Colts Field.
The Colts played an outstanding first half and trailed 8-7, but allowed 26 points in the second half to finish the regular season with a 0-6 record.
The Colts took a 7-1 lead early in the second quarter when quarterback Josh Siemens plunged into the endzone from one yard out.
Wide receiver Jaylen Mayall scored the other touchdown on a 15-yard reception in the third quarter.
The Colts allowed 416 yards of total offense, but stayed in the game by recovering four fumbles and losing only one. They were unable to contain Tornadoes running back Nathan Fall, who scampered for 180 yards on 19 carries, including 60 and 35-yard majors.
"It was disappointing," said Siemens. "We kind of fell apart at the end. The game doesn't mean anything in the standings but we haven't beat Peacock in a long time, so it would have meant a lot to beat them. We were that close."
The Colts will travel to Estevan (2-4) for the quarter-final on Tuesday. The Colts dropped both games to the Elecs this season.
"We have been close in both those games too. I think that we are due for a win against Estevan, so I think we are pretty confident going into that one," said Siemens, who completed nine passes for 133 yards in the loss.

At least 30 Air Zimbabwe passengers had a mid-air scare yesterday morning after one of the engines of a Boeing 737 plane they were flying in from Harare to Victoria Falls developed a mechanical fault minutes after take off.
The pilot was forced to make a U-turn 20 minutes after take off from the Harare International Airport and landed safely. No one was injured.
The passengers, who boarded the plane around 8am, were delayed for more than eight hours at the airport after landing.
They left around 3.30pm aboard an Embraer ERJ 145 Jet that the airline provided as a replacement.
Air Zimbabwe public relations executive Mrs Shingai Dhliwayo said all passengers and crew-members were safe.
"There was an air-turn back on the Harare-Victoria Falls flight this (yesterday) morning after the captain detected a technical fault," she said.
"The air-turn back was one of the safety decisions that had to be made."
Mrs Dhliwayo said the aircraft, through its systems, alerted the captain that there was a fault.
"When given warning signs, you have to respond and that is why we made a safety decision as one of our culture elements," she said. "Purely to us, it is a safety decision."
Mrs Dhliwayo said the plane was attended to by engineers after landing and was ready to fly again.
A source at the airport said the aircraft was forced to make a U-turn after one of its engines caught fire under unclear circumstances.
"All I know is that one of the engines of the aircraft caught fire, that is between 15 and 20 minutes after taking off, but it returned and landed safely on the domestic terminal," said the source.
In October last year, Air Zimbabwe sued the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe for over US$8,5 million for damages after its plane hit wild pigs on the runway three years earlier.
The incident occurred in November 2009 as the plane prepared to take off from the Harare International Airport, resulting in the flight from Harare to Bulawayo being cancelled.
None of the four-crew members on board was injured.
Despite such incidents, Air Zimbabwe's safety record remains intact as the national airline has not been involved in any major accident since independence in 1980.

Since the Pope was currently residing in Avignon, and England was in a longstanding position of being at war with France, existing resentment about paying tithes to the papacy were exacerbated by the particular political situation. The English Parliament declared that they would no longer support payment of the tithe, and employed the reformist theologian (and founder of the Lollard movement) John Wyclif to defend their decision.

IU Swept by No. 16 Kentucky
Lexington, Ky.-- Sixteenth-ranked University of Kentucky proved to be too much for the No. 62 Indiana men's tennis team as the Wildcats swept the Hoosiers, 7-0, on Wednesday afternoon at the Hilary J. Boone Complex in Lexington.
The Hoosiers have now lost three straight and move to 5-6 on the year, and 0-1 in the Big Ten. The Wildcats improve to 7-4 overall.
The Hoosiers began the competition by dropping the doubles point. The tandem of Dmytro Ishtuganov and Jakub Praibis were the only pair to pick up a win after they defeated Evan Austin and Jason Mallaiah, 8-5. No. 31 Ryan Recht and John Stone fell to Rahim Esmail and Jesse Witten, 8-1 at the No. 1 position. Finally, the No. 3 spot held up by Neil Kenner and Ryan McCarthy lost to Nate Emge and Tigran Martirosyan, 8-2.
From then on out, the Hoosiers were unable to capture a single victory in singles. Praibis and Stone went up against some tough competition as Praibis dropped a 0-6, 6-0, 6-2 decision to 15th-ranked Jesse Witten at No. 1 in singles and Recht, playing at the two spot, fell to No. 74 Tigran Martirosyan, 6-3, 6-2.
After a shift in the line-up, Ishtuganov found himself making his first appearance in the singles line-up after not having played in singles since Feb. 22 against Western Michigan. Ishtuganov, who played at No. 6, lost a close match to Rahim Esmail 6-4, 7-6 (4).
Indiana is back in action when it travels to Tampa, Fla., for matches against the University of San Francisco and the University of South Florida. The Hoosiers square off with the Diamond Dons on Wednesday, March 17 at 2:00 p.m. and the Bulls on Friday, March 19 at 10:00 a.m.

THE organisation around the National Cultural Festival under way at the Multi-Purpose Sport Stadium in Windhoek is said to be in chaos.
The Namibian yesterday received a number of calls from participants who arrived from the regions, who said that the event was not planned properly.
The festival is an annual event that takes place in the first week of December. Last year it was held at Opuwo in the Kunene Region.
Schools where the participants were supposed to be accommodated were not informed and as a result some of the people were stranded at the gates, some of the participants said.
One participant said men and women had to share the same toilets at Jan Möhr Secondary School, but some men were later moved somewhere else.
"Now we are supposed to be starting at eight [yesterday morning] but we are still at our hostels waiting for breakfast because the food was only dropped off this morning. Some participants had to go to bed Wednesday night on empty stomachs," she wrote.
The activities only started at eleven, The Namibian was told.
Hans Amesho, one of the group leaders from the Oshikoto Region, said the confusion must have been caused by lack of communication between the organisers and the participants.
"If the regional cultural festival was to be rated compared to the national festival, the regional one would get 90 percent and the national would get 10 percent. How can we promote our culture towards Vision 2030 if people are behaving like this?" Amesho asked.
"This is very discouraging, especially to the young ones who are attending the event for the first time."
Contacted for comment, the deputy director of culture in the Ministry of Youth, Andre Strauss, said the information provided to The Namibian was not factual. One should consider that when you are dealing with a large number of people, not everyone will be satisfied with the service, he added.
He said there was plenty of food at the festival.
"If the newspaper goes ahead and publishes any lies, then I will sue the paper because I am willing to talk in person and discuss all the details," he added.

Faulty Thinking
May 31, 2012
Read: Romans 5:12-21
God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
Four peoplea pilot, a professor, a pastor, and a hikerwere flying in a small plane when the engines died. The pilot said, There are only three parachutes. Since this is my plane, Im taking one of them. He put it on and jumped out. The professor said, Im brilliant and the world needs me, so Im taking a parachute, and he jumped out.
Then the pastor told the hiker, I dont want to be selfish, so you take the last parachute. The hiker replied, There are still two left, so we can each have one. The professor jumped out with my backpack instead of the parachute! Though the professor thought he would land safely, his assurance was based on faulty thinking.
Some people have an assurance of salvation based on faulty thinking. They believe that church attendance, baptism, or just being good will gain them approval from God. But our thinking is faulty if it isnt based on what God says in His Word. God says that all have sinned and that we are His enemies. But through the death and resurrection of His Son, we can be made right with God (Rom. 3:23; 5:8-10). By faith in what Christ has done, we can have peace with God (5:1) and the assurance of eternal life in heaven.
Do you believe it? Your eternity is at stake. Dont trust faulty thinking but put your faith in Christ.
I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus
Trusting only Thee;
Trusting Thee for full salvation,
Great and free. Havergal
If we could earn our salvation, Christ would not have died to provide it.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"
Colossians 3:23

After doing some googling found couple of direction to solve the problem. Thought I should post all the link for future reference.
This was giving a hard time even after assigning permission to the registry and following most the resolutions suggested in the above links etc. But at the end rebooting the server probably did the trick and things started working as expected.

re: Enterprise Library June 2005 Instrumentation Issue
With the Instrumentation I was also getting this error
- <InnerException>
<Message>The type initializer for "Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Instrumentation.DataConnectionFailedEvent" threw an exception.</Message>
<StackTrace>at Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Instrumentation.DataConnectionFailedEvent.Fire(String connectionString) at Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Instrumentation.DataInstrumentationFacade.ConnectionFailed(String connectionString) at Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Database.OpenConnection() at Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Database.ExecuteReader(DBCommandWrapper command) at Abn.DataAccessLayer.SqlClient.SqlLocationProviderBase.GetByLocationKey(TransactionManager transactionManager, Int32 start, Int32 pageLength, Guid locationKey) at Abn.DataAccessLayer.Bases.LocationProviderBase.GetByLocationKey(Guid locationKey) at Abn.Facade.AbnOncologyFacade.GetLocationByKey(Guid locationKey) at AbnWebApplication.JobHelper.ProcessJob(String passKey, String data)</StackTrace>
and by looking at this line I was a bit misleaded
thinking its a Database Connection Error. But not its still the Permission Issue.
Giving the right permission solves the issue. But I got enough of this and Finally got rid of the Instrumetation Option from the EntLib Libraries. Recompiled the Dlls by tweaking the conditional compilation constants (DEBUG;TRACE;USEWMI;USEEVENTLOG;USEPERFORMANCECOUNTER). Good thing is you can keep what you like to keep.
Used the new Dlls and all looks OK now.

Remember the tweaking of Conditional constants are required only in the "Common" Project.

AMES Iowa State men's basketball coach Fred Hoiberg recited the big numbers not to sound an alarm, but to highlight precisely what his team had lost.
"It's a little rocky at first when you have as much to be replaced as we do," Hoiberg said during Thursday's annual media day at the Sukup Practice Facility. "Losing over 52 points, 17 rebounds, 12 assists a game, 278 of our 346 3s there's a lot of new faces that need to come in and make contributions."
A few older ones, too.
Gone from last year's 23-win team that nearly reached the NCAA tournament's Sweet Sixteen: sharpshooter Tyrus McGee, defensive stopper Chris Babb, slick point guard Korie Lucious and explosive scorer Will Clyburn.
"I think they're all going to be tough to replace," said ISU's undersized but highly-productive senior forward Melvin Ejim, who at 6-6 led the Big 12 in rebounding last season. "They all brought so many different things to our team, different dynamics."
Nonetheless, league coaches tabbed the Cyclones to finish fourth this season a notable upgrade over back-to-back eighth-place projections ISU vastly surpassed by finishing third and fourth, respectively.
"I guess they respect us a little more," Ejim said.
That's part of it.
"To be honest with you, I think they picked the top three teams Kansas, (Oklahoma) State and Baylor and then threw the rest of us in a hat," said Hoiberg, whose team has seven newcomers, led by former Marshall standout DeAndre Kane. "So I don't know. Is it too high? It's still too early for me (to say)."
Six practices into the 2013-14 campaign and Hoiberg is certain of one thing: he likes his team's moxie and effort.
Going into his fourth season on the job, he's even more convinced about something else: Ejim's impact on the program's resurgence can't be overstated.
"He does everything right," Hoiberg said of the preseason all-Big 12 fist team pick. "He's setting himself up for big things in the future."
Ejim and versatile sophomore forward Georges Niang are the only returning players who averaged more than five points last season. Ejim pitched in 11.3 points and 9.3 rebounds. Niang struck for 12.1 points and 4.6 boards.
Sprinkle in Kane, consensus top-100 freshmen guards Monte Morris and Matt Thomas, along with talented junior college transfers in Dustin Hogue, K.J. Bluford and Daniel Edozie, and optimism if not experience runs high.
"We have some special pieces here," Niang said. "We have some guys that can really shoot the ball and some guys that can really get to the rim."
Kane can do both. And that's just for starters.
Hoiberg said the 6-4, 195-pound senior is one of two players nationally to average 15 or more points in the past three seasons.
But Kane is looking to pad more than his stat line.
"Numbers are nothing if you ain't winning," said Kane, who will play point, two guard and occasionally match up with small forwards.
The Cyclones have produced numbers and wins in recent years and don't expect a drop off.
"That was one of me and coach Fred's goals, to turn this program around, and we've been able to do it," said Ejim, who committed to ISU when Greg McDermott was still the coach. "Now, we're just trying to keep it going uphill. Continue doing what we've been doing."
