I would like to find a solution, where I can administer multiple wordpress sites (50 plus) using one wordpress admin interface or other tool. I would like to manage plugins and content on these sites.
Is there such tool exists?
I assume you are not interested in multisite network, but in managing multiple separate blogs?
By description this sounds like ManageWP (for the record hadn't used it myself).
Hi @gyurisc:
Easy: use WordPress Multisite.
I'm using this, it works well - more limited than ManageWP but it's free: https://wpremote.com Lets you monitor the site and update WP, plugins and themes and create backups to download (used to store the backups on Amazon's S3 servers but that got too expensive). Also click to go to the home page or admin page, it doesn't save your login info so you'll have to log into admins yourself (or if the browser remembers your login).
Haven't tried this, it looks similar - they claim to be able to log you in to the admin with a click. Doesn't appear to update WP and plugins but it checks for malware: https://portal.wpengine.com/
I just tried ManageWP. The set up was easy and free for the first 3 blogs. I like it but I'd rather have a free tool as I have many blogs some focused on hdr photography and others on search engine optimization. Does anyone know of 'free' solutions?
Actually ManageWP is free for up-to 5 websites. After that if you want to manage 50 websites price is $0.5 per website monthly for Standard features = $25 per month
I use ManageWP for up to 15 sites at the moment and I find it very useful.
Some of the messages are a bit basic and not very informative (eg "Working ....") but it has reduced the amount of time needed to administer a number of sites.
I have also used it to move and clone sites, again it is not a perfect tool but I have used it a number of times successfully (sometimes with a bit of "fixing" needed).
I am paying for it but also sell site management as a service, which covers the costs. I consider it well worth the cost for the time saved, the convenience and the ease of moving sites.
I have resisted adding an affiliate link :-)

Have you heard about the Blood Moon eclipses? A rare total lunar eclipse series has begun and with it a lot of talk. The term Blood Moon is the look of the full moon during the lunar tetrad, which is four successive lunar eclipses in a row, each separated by six lunar months. The first eclipse in the lunar tetrad occurred on the night of April 14-15. The next three will fall on October 8, 2014, then April 4, 2015 and September 28, 2015.
Lunar tetrads aren't super rare or supernatural and you won't find an astronomer who refers to these eclipses as Blood Moons. The moniker may have its roots in the coppery red appearance during a total eclipse. However, there are plenty who believe this particular tetrad is prophetic.
Pastor John Hagee refers to the Blood Moon in his 2013 book Four Blood Moons: Something is About to Change. I haven't read the book but from what I gather, Hagee sees the lunar tetrad as representing the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
For instance, Hagee quotes Joel 2-31 as a reference to the end times. The verse reads, "The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood before the great and dreadful day of the LORD comes." That's pretty impressive but we all know there have been many prophets throughout the ages declaring current events are signs of the time, the rapture, and so on. They are also known to take scripture out of context to prove their point.
However, a fact I do find intriguing is the days on which the eclipses fall. The April 2014 and 2015 eclipses align with the feast of Passover and October 2014 and September 2015 align with the feast of Tabernacles. When describing the Jewish calendar, which is lunar, www.earthsky.org writers Bruce McClure and Deborah Byrd note, "In any year, it's inevitable that a full moon should fall on or near the feasts of Passover (15 Nissan) and Tabernacles (15 Tishri). Nissan and Tishri are the first and seventh months of the Jewish calendar, respectively."
The writers also seem to think, "it is ironic that three of these four lunar eclipses are not visible, even in part, from Israel. The only eclipse that can be seen at all from Israel is the tail end of the September 28, 2015, eclipse, which may be observable for a short while before sunrise." If the eclipses are indeed prophetic, then I find nothing ironic about that. I may not be a biblical scholar or theologian; in fact I couldn't quote scripture if you paid me, but the more I ponder what seems to be an insignificant observation by some, the more I contemplate its significance.
Israel will observe the very last eclipse, and only the tail end of that. But maybe that's all the people of God will need. They will be provided the most important piece of the puzzle. Could it be a light in the sky? Genesis 1:4 "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years"

Rated 3.2 out of 5Â by 16 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Whynot s'alright Loved this top when I saw it online. In person, it is just okay. The front fabric is ... interesting. It's a knit and although it's kind of sheer, it also has a bit of a crisp feel. Some people will like that and some people won't. The back and trim print is very delicate. The seams are unfinished and on the outside, which is a look I like, generally. But this is not the right fabric for it. It frays easily and you end up picking threads off the top and everything around you. It is also not an attractive kind of fraying. It just looks cheap. I doubt this top will last very long.  You do have to wear something under it as it's a bit on the sheer side.  I wear one of those bra/cami combinations (is there a name for those?)  in a skin tone and it's virtually invisible.  It doesn't interfere with how the top hangs because it's a slippery satiny type fabric that is form fitting. I think a tank underneath would add bulk, and probably catch so it doesn't drape right. I was on the fence about returning this top until I discovered it goes remarkably well with the Call of the Wild fur vest. The paisley side of the vest and the pattern of the top look like they were designed to be together. The top is longer than the vest so you can see the pattern and the fringes hanging down in the back and it looks really cool. Overall, I'd say this is an okay top, but not worth the price. Try and get it on sale if you want it. 12.28.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Libertybelle awesome This tunic is so pretty. The material is sheer, but layering is a great option. I've been wearing it all day and haven't been concerned with snagging it I am over 50 and it doesn't look too young. My 21yr old daughter thinks it looks awesome on me 9.28.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by goddess1 Seam tape?? I bought this top to wear over a maxi. It looked great! Got it home and there was a tear where the woven print is stitched to the linen. If I designed this top, I might think about seam tape when sewing two different types of fabric together. Once the woven fabric starts to tear at the seam, it is hard to repair. Just need to be careful and buy one that is not tight in the upper back or under the arms. 2.3.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by eleanne not the right top for me This top has adorable details but did not look that great on me. I'm a little curvier so I think it just didn't drape the way it does on the model. Also the material is very thin and sheer. Sadly, will be returning it. 10.6.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by SHall did not work Loved it on the model. It did not work for me. I am not a spring chicken, so Free People items are fun for me, but....... 11.24.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by nautilusshore Bad fabric Fabric was thin and coarse; very low thread count. I had no doubt it would start falling apart after just one or two uses, so I returned it before wearing it. I imagine it would also not provide any warmth either. 4.2.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Scoozin Moroccan & Indian inspired Love this tunic. I am 5'10" and slender, this tunic falls in all the right places! I paired it with dark stockings and some high-knee socks accompanied by boots and a solid-colored chunky scarf. Recommendation - be careful with the fabric it can be delicate at times, I have a dog and if she jumped on me with her nails it would rip right through. 12.26.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by allisonr more like a shirt than a tunic I saw this shirt online and wanted to order one right away but tried it on in both colors at a local FP store. I was impressed that both colors looked great, and had a hard time choosing one. I kept the top for about a week and tried it on a bunch, but returned it. The length on me(I'm 5'4", slender build, normal sized torso) came to my waistband, not below my hips, which is how it is pictured and what I would expect from a tunic. Over a plain tank top, though, it wasn't see through at all. 11.12.2012

When I was five, maybe six years old, my mother came to me and offered me the chance of a lifetime, something up until that moment had merely been a dream. "Shall I sign you up for dancing school? It's your turn!" Dancing school! Dancing school was heaven on earth in my young mind! I watched with envy, with awe each time my sister was fitted with a costume, the glamour of the satin, the sequins and spangles, the fringe and the jaunty hats, sweeps of feathers and tiny cat ears perched on her head. I watched with envy, with awe each time my sister took to the stage, smile splashed across her face, upright and confident, and tapped her way into the hearts of the audience with grace and joy, the clickety clack of the taps the most beautiful sound in the world to my young ears.
A thrill rushed through my kindergarten body as I imagined myself under the lights, wrapped in pink tulle and shimmering sparkles, pretty little ballet slippers hugging my feet, arms elegantly curved above my head. I would execute perfect pirouettes, glide gracefully across the wood amid cheers from the friends and family watching. My sister had been dancing for how many years… five? Six? My brother joined the dance troupe in his turn and now it was mine. How I desired that! I can still evoke images of my brother dressed all in green, pointed elf hat on his head, weaving in and out of a row of bobbing sunflowers swaying gracefully back and forth, faces turned upwards, smiling as he tipped the invisible contents of a large watering can over their petals. Heaven, indeed.
How I longed to be on stage.
Yet… I remember the very adult-like conversation I had with myself, two sides battling it out for supremacy. The yearning to dance, the craving for accolades. And the fear. The fear of standing up there in front of everybody, in front of a crowd. Of forgetting the steps, losing my balance. And fear won. I never joined Sue and Michael on stage, never took dancing lessons, much to my eternal regret.
And I have carried this fear with me my whole life, the fear of making, well, a spectacle of myself.
Which is why writing suits me. I might have to talk to people, interview someone, but one-to-one, a good old tête-à-tête, is perfectly all right, once the first handshakes are exchanged and the first question delved into. Teaching is even really fine because writing is something I am so passionate about and I love sharing that passion and motivating others. But standing in front of a room full of people my knees turn to jelly, my hands shake, my teeth begin to clack… the clickety clack of the tap shoes that I never put on. Writing allows me to work alone, no eyes upon me, no crowd with expectations. I sit with only my imagination, my thesaurus and my laptop to keep me company, each chipping in their fair share, and we have a lovely time, calm, cool, collected and working, nose to the grindstone, with no one watching.
And then one day I found myself onstage.
Accepting an award. All eyes upon me. Plated Stories, the blog, my creative collaboration with Ilva Beretta, my words, her gorgeous photography, won the IACP 2014 Award for Best Photo-Based Blog. Her amazing photos swept them off their feet, but I like to think that it is the combination of images and words intertwined, our concept of capturing the emotional, sensual and nostalgic facets of food, that won it for us.
(Yes, my pounding heart leapt into my throat, I felt dizzy and faint, I stumbled up onto the stage and blathered a thank you, never forgetting to mention Ilva and her spectacular photography... How, I wonder, does anyone do this calmly?)
Ilva and I began Plated Stories just one year ago and its popularity proves the primal need to reconnect to food personally, to be transported to a place where food stirs up stories rather than just recipes. Where an emotional connection to food trumps anything political, practical or matter-of-fact.
When you write or expose a private, personal thought, emotion or memory provoked or triggered by food – flicking peas across the diningroom table at your sibling, eating sno cones at the public swimming pool or a Mister Softee soft serve ice cream in the middle of winter on the streets of New York or stealing down into your grandmother's musty basement to get a peek at the rows of jars filled with homemade jam shimmering in the half light – when you share a set of photographs of food, ingredients, utensils or objects in a way that is unexpected for a food blog, photographs bright and vibrant, hazy and romantic, dark and mysterious – it inevitably sparks emotions and sets off memories in every reader, long lost ideas and stories and feelings, thus making those words, those images, that food universal. This is what Ilva and I strive to do every week with Plated Stories.
A food blog in which food is simply the muse.
I stood on that stage thrilled and terrified, accepting that award for Ilva and I, heart pounding, words spilling out breathlessly, yet never have I been happier or prouder. Or more honored. Not an easy moment for me but one I wouldn't have missed for all the world.
If I could only have been in tulle and sequins and pink satin point shoes.
More than anything I do professionally, working with Ilva is my favorite thing... working with Ilva is inspiring and motivating and I couldn't ask for a better, more talented partner. And we thank our readers, our friends for making Plated Stories a joy to do every day. And thank you IACP for the honor.

WILLIAMSON — A woman who is no stranger to the Mingo County judicial system, and her sister, were arrested by officers with the Williamson Police Department on outstanding warrants issued for reasons of petit larceny and battery.
The criminal complaints against Crystal Davidson, 25, and Markia Davidson, 22, both of Vinson Street, states that warrants was obtained against the siblings on Feb. 15 for an alleged crime that occurred on Feb. 9th of this year. The sisters are said to have entered The Liquor Store, a business located on 3rd Ave. in Williamson, with the intent to steal liquor. The siblings were exiting the business with two bottles of liquor that were not paid for when a store employee attempted to stop them. When the clerk placed his hand on Markia's arm, Crystal allegedly shoved the man to the floor, causing him physical harm.
Law enforcement had been unable to locate the Davidson sisters until this past Friday evening when they responded to a report of an altercation in progress on Vinson Street, which involved the wanted females. They were taken into custody by WPD Lt. G.P. Dotson and Sgt. J. Spence after being served with the warrants.
Crystal was charged with petit larceny and battery, and was released from custody after posting a $2,000 personal recognizance bond issued by Mingo County Magistrate Dee Sidebottom. Markia was also released after meeting the stipulations of her $1,000 personal recognizance bond set by Sidebottom. According to magistrate court officials, Crystal has 15 arrests on record within Mingo County.

People will have the opportunity on Tuesday to speak about a recommendation that three wooden bridges be placed on the historic registry.
A public hearing on the issues will be held Tuesday, Oct. 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. on the second floor in the Municipal Building, located at 214 Park Ave.
The three bridges, located on York, Union and Fairfield streets, once served as an integral piece of property in Aiken, and of six bridges, are the only three wooden bridges not modernized.
The Friends of the Railroad Depot were concerned about the bridges' future and brought the issue to the Design Review Board. The board recommended them to be placed on the historic registry.
If the Planning Commission recommends the bridges be designated historic, Aiken City Council will then take a final vote during a public hearing to decide the bridges' ultimate fate. If the bridges do become part of the historic registry, the registry will not ensure protection.
In other business, the Commission will discuss a proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance to add the proposed designation of the structures. According to Ed Evans, planning director, areas would have to be rezoned to permit any demolition of or changes to the bridges made in the street right-of-way.
"It would require a certificate of appropriateness," Evans said. "In order for the bridges to be protected, you have to add the bridges to a list of things. Designation does not work without a second step."
Before any construction, demolition, relocation or alteration can be made to the bridges, a certificate of appropriateness must be given to a historic structure.
For more information, call 803-642-7608.

text: Colour Saturation is described as a "dark cool wine creme." It's a cool-toned, berry-red with a cream finish. It settled slightly into lip lines but yielded semi-opaque color coverage. It's not an easy color to keep even at all. It lasted three hours on me. Marc Jacobs Beauty Studded Kiss (310) (P, $28.00) is more shimmery, redder. NARS Penny Arcade (LE, $26.00) is similar. MAC Real Posh (LE, $15.00) is shimmery, less red. See comparison swatches.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - A judge is to decide if a terrorism consultant will testify at the trial of the Army psychiatrist charged in a deadly 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage.
Maj. Nidal Hasan's attorneys object to the testimony of Evan Kohlmann, who's expected to be questioned at a pretrial hearing Wednesday.
Kohlmann says Hasan meets six factors that indicate someone is a homegrown terrorist. Defense attorneys say prosecutors don't need Kohlmann's testimony or 50-page report on Hasan's case to show a motive or premeditation.
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the shootings at the Central Texas Army post.
Hasan, an American-born Muslim, faces the death penalty if convicted. His trial is to start with jury selection May 29 and testimony July 1.

Longtime rivals collided in Mount Pleasant Friday, one vying for supremacy, the other survival.
The Wando Warriors used a second-half surge to knock off the West Ashley Wildcats, 72-43, and claim their third Class 4A Region VII championship in four years. The win gives the Warriors a No. 1 seed and home-court advantage in the playoffs, and ends the Wildcats' season short of a playoff bid.
"They've got a really good team," West Ashley head coach Ronnie DuPre said. "We didn't shoot well enough, we got killed on the boards. To stay in the game, we couldn't get beat as badly as we did down there. We made some mistakes but they (Wando) had a lot to do with it."
West Ashley (15-7, 4-5) played like a team fighting for its season in the first half. The two teams exchanged the lead six times in the second quarter alone. Jamez Rogers finally grabbed control for Wando with eight points, six straight, in the final three minutes of the first half to send the Warriors into the break with an eight-point advantage.
Wando (20-4, 7-1) exploded out halftime with a 12-0 run. West Ashley didn't find its first points until more than five minutes in, and made its lone field goal with just a minute left in the quarter.
Wando head coach David Eaton sent in his seniors in the fourth quarter to seal the win in their final regular season game. The veteran lineup extended the lead to 30 points before giving way to the Warriors reserves.
Rogers finished with a game-high 23 points, Andrew Glover added 13 for Wando. Kevin Sobiesuo led West Ashley with 15.
"We expected them to come ready to play," Eaton said. "I've never seen West Ashley not play hard. We just didn't communicate well in the first half. We score more when we are able to get stops on defense and that changed the game for us in the second half."
With West Ashley's season cut short, DuPre will have to wait until next season to pick up his 500th career win. DuPre entered Friday one win short of the milestone but said making the playoffs would have meant more to him than No. 500.
"I'm not chasing numbers," he said. "The win would have meant a lot because it would have put us in the playoffs. It's not about me, so 500 didn't mean anything tonight."
Wando opens against the Region VIII No. 4 seed — Beaufort or Fort Dorchester — in the first round of the Class 4A playoffs Thursday at home.
"Coach DuPre is a great coach and I know he's going to get his 500th and many more," Eaton said. "It would have been nice if both teams could have won but this win was huge for our program. Every year, every team is different, so three (region titles) in four years is really special. We thought we had a chance to be good the next couple years but these guys came out a did it this year against some good competition and I'm really proud of them."

Dr. Wade Douglas of Cabell-Huntington Hospital told a jury in the murder trial of Jeffrey Waller that the man Waller is accused of shooting, James Thurman, died from a shotgun wound to the abdomen, and specifically succumbed to blood loss from a shotgun wound.
Douglas testified Tuesday morning that during surgery on Thurman, they discovered a massive wound which Douglas said entered the left flank (quadrant) of Thurman's body and exited on the right side of the stomach area, and that the surgical team had to remove a segment of his stomach - "that couldn't be repaired," removed a portion of the colon, a segment of the small bowel and the spleen.
Douglas described a burn the "size of a (shotgun) barrel." And Douglas made repeated reference to a hematoma, and to finding a piece of plastic from a shotgun shell and several pellets in the body. Scioto County Prosecutor Mark Kuhn unsealed a bag that had been kept with evidence from the hospital which contained those items.
Kuhn presented a document that contained a page for every unit of blood Thurman received during his treatment, and stopped at 20, though there were more.
"Is that representative of massive bleeding,?" Kuhn asked.
Douglas responded in the affirmative.
"Did it become apparent at some point that Mr. Thurman was not going to survive?" Kuhn asked.
Douglas responded that point came when it became obvious to him that the central hematoma was not going to stop bleeding, and when his blood pressure and heartbeat began to shrink.
The only question posed by defense attorney Bill Dever was where the shell entered and where it exited, and Douglas showed the jury the two places on his own body.
A flight nurse from Air-Evac, who also works at St. Mary's Hospital in Huntington, testified they landed a helicopter at Valley High School, and that she probably waited 20 minutes for the squad to arrive with Thurman. She said she was concerned after having heard about the incident, that Thurman might not be stable enough to fly.
After he arrived she said she observed massive bleading, but that he was alert and talking and that he knew what had happened to him, telling her he was "struck with something then shot with a shotgun." She said he deteriorated after that.
Waller is accused of killing Thurman with a shotgun after Thurman had spent four days in the home of his wife, Waller's girlfriend, Anna Thurman. According to Anna Thurman's testimony, she and Waller were sitting on the bed when Thurman came into the back bedroom and his foot either shoved or kicked Waller in the back of the head. Seconds later, Waller reportedly fired the gun, striking Thurman.

Must-see New York
There is so much to see and do in New York, it's unlikely you'll manage it all in one visit. The iconic Statue of Liberty is a great place to start. You can take the ferry to Liberty Island, or choose the smart option and catch a ride on a ferry to Staten Island instead. The Staten Island ferry sails right past the statue, the queues are much shorter, and best of all, it's free. New York is also home to some fantastic museums, from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) to the American Museum of Natural History. Visitors should also scale some of New York's tallest buildings to enjoy the city's iconic skyline. The Empire State Building and the Rockefeller centre offer some amazing views from the top. The brightly lit, neon hub of Times Square is a must see, and is right next to the Broadway Theatre District. Anyone seeking a respite from the urban jungle will find it in Central Park, 843 acres of greenery, paths, and lakes. If you choose a hotel overlooking Central Park, be sure to request one with a view. Hiring a rowing boat on one of the lakes is a great way to spend a sunny afternoon.
Exploring the boroughs
New York is comprised of 5 boroughs. Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. Each has much to offer. Most of the major tourist attractions, the financial hub of Wall Street, and the imposing skyscrapers are in Manhattan, while Brooklyn is home to much of New York's underground and alternative scene. There, you can try out the Brooklyn Graffiti and Street Art Tour for an introduction to that side of town. The Bronx is the only borough of New York to be predominantly on the mainland, and sports fans should not miss a trip to the Yankee Stadium, home of New York's famous baseball team. The borough of Queens, were it a city in its own right, would be the 4th largest in the US. It is also home to two of New York's three airports, JFK International and LaGuardia. With the addition of Newark Liberty International, New York's airport system is the largest in the United States, and the second largest in the world in terms of passenger traffic.

Multi-feature samples that demonstrate best practices for developing applications hosted on Azure and leveraging Azure services.
The Azure Code Marketplace has a growing list of sample applications contributed by Microsoft and the Azure community.
A Visual Studio project that accompanies the e-book Building Real-World Cloud Apps with Azure. The code demonstrates best practices for cloud apps as presented in the e-book.
Technologies used: Websites, PowerShell scripts for REST management API, Storage (Blobs and Queues), SQL Database, Cloud Services
This demonstrates how developers can connect a Website hosted in Azure Websites to their on-premises enterprise applications using the Azure Service Bus.
This sample demonstrates a website that allows users to upload multiple photos and get back an image composed of all the pictures shuffled. It uses the Azure WebJobs SDK for the background tasks.
Technologies used: Websites, ASP.NET MVC, SQL Database, Table Service, Blob Service, Queue Service
The multi-tier ASP.NET web application demonstrates how to use Azure Storage tables, queues, and blobs.
The SiteMonitR scheduled job pings all of the sites in a list of sites stored in Azure Storage. As each site's status is obtained, a message is sent to a storage queue. A job running in a website picks up the results of each site's status check and saves the log entry to a storage table. A Web API controller that is hosted in an Azure website receives messages from the job when sites are pinged. The Web API controller then sends updates to the SiteMonitR dashboard via a SignalR Hub. The result is a web-based website monitoring tool.
Technologies used: Websites, WebJobs, Table Service, SignalR
The multi-tier ASP.NET web application demonstrates how to use Azure Storage tables, queues, and blobs.
Based on real-world customer projects led by the Business Platform Division's Customer Advisory Team (CAT), this reference implementation comprises a production quality, fully documented hybrid solution that demonstrates how customers can extend their existing on-premises BizTalk Server infrastructure into the Cloud.
Technologies used: Cloud Services, Service Bus, SQL Database, Queue Service, Blob Service, BizTalk Server 2010

Coffee Reviews
Coffees were received in bean form and were ground fresh immediately before brewing in an automatic brewer with a gold filter (as opposed to paper filters). Coffees were tasted black. Each coffee was tasted on two different, but not consecutive, mornings.
We found in our tastings that our own descriptions often varied significantly from what the seller described on the website. We can attribute that to a number of factors. Professional coffee sellers use different brewing equipment than we have at home: different grinders, hotter water, charcoal-filtered water or spring water, and professional skill will produce a better cup of coffee than we lay folk can make. However, we used a good home grinder, a good coffee machine and excellent tap water—as good a set-up as most people will have at home. It may be that the professional coffee shop will get a better body from brewing its beans than we got; however, we did experience a range of light to full bodies in our brews, so we are comfortable that what we produced will mirror most people's home experience.
Note that each company has a full line of coffees, not just the varieties shown here. The companies made their own selections about which varieties to send us. Prices and flavor availability were verified prior to publication but are subject to change. In most cases, shipping is additional.

McFarlane Toys is proud to present our sixth Sports Picks series honoring the NHL Legends. Following up the "retro" look of NHL Legends 5, the new series is a more traditional look at four Hall of Fame players who helped re-write the record books. Take a good look, and squint if you must, at the four shining stars that make up NHL Legends 6:
WAYNE GRETZKY: After 1,487 NHL games, "The Great One" called it a career on April 18th, 1999 and played his final game with the New York Rangers against the Pittsburgh Penguins. After the game ended, Gretzky circled on the ice, removing one glove and waving farewell to the appreciative crowd. Gretzky remains the leading scorer in NHL history, and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1999.
GORDIE HOWE: You don't get a nickname like "Mr. Hockey" by accident. It's said that a "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" consisted of a goal, an assist, and a fight in the same game. Howe played in Hartford, Houston and Omaha, but his legacy was built in the Motor City, during 25 brilliant seasons with the Red Wings (and one game with the Vipers). Howe ranks second all-time on the NHL goals-scored list, and is one of only two players to eclipse the 800-goal plateau. Howe was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972.
JOHNNY BOWER: Johnny Bower became a household name in the NHL, but winning four Stanley Cups made him a legend in Toronto. The hard-nosed Bower had to be - playing his career without a mask! He became the oldest goalie to ever appear in a Stanley Cup Finals game, playing in 1969 at the age of 44. Johnny was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1976.
CAM NEELY: Known in Vancouver as "the one that got away", Neely left the Canucks after three seasons in a deal that sent him to Boston. He became a Bruins mainstay, delivering several tremendous seasons and establishing himself as the prototypical "power forward" in the NHL. Knee injuries and a degenerative hip condition limited Neely's career to just 13 seasons, but his goals-per-game average remains one of the ten best in the history of the NHL. Neely was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2005.
NHL Legends 6 is expected to arrive in stores in December 2007.

When reminiscing about the history of Mocs athletics, even the more knowledgeable fans don't realize that UTC has seven team national championship trophies on its resume. Most will remember the 1977 NCAA Division II Men's Basketball title, but there were also six titles won by the women's tennis program.
Head Coach Tommy Bartlett guided the Lady Mocs to three-straight NCAA Division II crowns from 1983-85, but it all began under head coach Alice Tym. The Lady Mocs won three-straight AIAW titles from 1977-79, and 2012 UTC Athletics Hall of Fame inductee Susan Carson ('78) was an All-American member of two of those teams.
Carson, a native of Chattanooga and graduate of City High School, came to UTC as a volleyball player in 1974. There was not a tennis team at the time, so she focused on what would become a standout volleyball career.
"My dad and my sister went to school here, and I knew some people here, so it was a good fit for me," said Carson. "There wasn't a tennis team my freshman year so I played volleyball and was on the team for four years."
Carson would eventually become an all-state college player in 1975 and 1976 and earn team MVP honors in 1976, but it was her play on the tennis court that gained her the most recognition.
"I was excited when I heard we were going to start a tennis team," recalled Carson. "I had taken a few lessons from Alice, so when I heard she was going to be the coach, I knew I was going to try out. I was the only one who got to play for her for all four years."
It was that first season in 1975 when Carson had one of her more memorable moments. According to Carson, Tym motivated the team by letting them know if they lost to Tennessee, they would be walking the 112 miles back to Chattanooga. The threat of that long hike seemed to work since this group never lost to the Lady Vols.
"I remember the first time we were playing Tennessee, Alice said if we lost we had to walk home," said Carson. "I remember I was playing doubles with Chappell Guerry and we split sets, so we were the last match on. If we won, we won the match.
"They were saying how we should not have beaten them and how they were going to beat us in the third. That got us so fired up that we ended up beating them 6-0 in the third to win the match."
Her biggest memory would happen three years later when her team won the 1978 AIAW Division II National Title in Santa Barbara, Calif. Playing at UC-Santa Barbara, Carson finished third at No. 5 singles and won the No. 3 doubles with Julie Dunn, earning All-American status in both.
"We had a great time playing at Santa Barbara," said Carson. "Our theme song was 'We Are the Champions' by Queen, so we got to play that a lot. Alice always made it fun for us. We went to a lot of fun places - the University of Florida, Florida State, Rollins, Alabama, Georgia. It was a great time."
Carson will get to have another great time on Friday, Feb. 22, when she joins Tym and teammates Billie Abney, Phyllis Blackwell, Sue Turberville Bartlett, Elizabeth Sharp Henderson and Kathy Kolankiewicz in the UTC Athletics Hall of Fame.
"We would like to congratulate Susan on her well-deserved honor," stated women's tennis head coach Jeff Clark. "She and many of her teammates set the bar very high for success, not just for women's tennis, but all athletics at UTC. We hope that every time we compete, we can make her and her teammates proud."

As of today we have 110 posts on BI from the Swamp blog. Over the next two weeks we are going to repost the most popular blogs on BI from the Swamp since it launched in March 2010. Today's blog was originally posted on May 12, 2010 by Doug Moran to highlight the results of our 'What is Agile BI?' contest. Over a year later, Agile BI continues to be the hot topic. For example, the theme of the TDWI World conference last week was Evolving your Agile BI Environment . Multiple times at the conference we were asked how Pentaho defined the term, Agile BI. A quick an easy answer was to point them to the blog below and to our Agile BI Practical Guide . ****************** original post from May 12, 2010***************** Last month, Pentaho sponsored a contest where people answer the question -"What does agile BI mean?" I was lucky enough to be one of the judges to determine who made it to the final five and win a Flip Ultra™ camcorder. The results were posted today http://www.pentaho.com/what_is_agile/ .

"Fear returned to Wall Street on Wednesday, sending the S&P 500 to another 4 percent decline, triggered by worries that Europe's debt crisis could engulf French banks and spill onto the U.S. financial sector." Campos, R. (2011, August 10). Banks drag Wall Street lower as fear returns. Reuters . Uncertainty is a common theme in economies worldwide at this time. Companies with Business Intelligence have a competitive advantage in 'uncertain times.' Business Intelligence and Predictive Analysis can forecast the future of the market, competition, and help with planning budgets and investments. Although businesses intelligence provides a great way for organizations to view information as a strategic asset, available options in the market are either priced very high or require long implementation cycles. A struggling economy puts even more pressure on customers' buying agendas. Stories of our customers validate this fact and shed new light into how businesses are coping with tough economic times: After excessive maintenance and upgrade costs for an existing Oracle BI, Otto International looked to Pentaho for a BI solution that not only dramatically reduces ongoing costs, but is also a modern and scalable solution for their...

According to The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI), " Agile business intelligence addresses a broad need to enable flexibility by accelerating the time it takes to deliver value with BI projects." Essentially, TDWI's definition of Agile BI is doing more in less time . Of course, that sounds very appealing, but the question is: How does Agile BI accomplish more in less time? As a pioneer in Agile BI , Pentaho has interviewed several customers using our Agile BI solution and have found that the most effective approach to BI includes the following actions: Creating smaller projects that add up to the big picture Rapidly deploying the initial solution, focusing on a few reports or metrics at a time Building on that foundation with frequent iterations and checkpoints Facilitating constant collaboration between Business and IT throughout the life of the project By starting small and growing bigger through multiple iterations, Agile BI creates a rapid development environment for BI project teams and avoids keeping IT working in a vacuum. These projects stay on track and improve over time through constant collaboration between business and technical users. Unfortunately, most of practitioners still...

The Department of Athletics at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is currently undergoing NCAA Cycle 3 Recertification. This process began in the fall of 2010 and is expected to conclude in the spring of 2012. At this stage of the recertification process, final reports of the institution's Self-Study are being submitted to the NCAA for review. This coming fall, an NCAA certification team will visit the campus to further assess the athletics program prior to determining our future certification status.
During the past year, a dedicated group of faculty, staff, and students have worked hard to conduct a self-study of the UTC Intercollegiate Athletics program. This self-study is mandated by the NCAA and focuses on seven areas of evaluation:
1. Governance and Commitment to Rules Compliance
a. Operating Principle 1.1 - Institutional Control, Presidential Authority and Shared Responsibilities
b. Operating Principle 1.2 - Rules Compliance
2. Academic Integrity
a. Operating Principle 2.1 - Academic Standards
b. Operating Principle 2.2 - Academic Support
3. Gender/Diversity Issues and Student-Athlete Well-Being
a. Operating Principle 3.1 - Gender Issues
b. Operating Principle 3.2 - Diversity Issues
c. Operating Principle 3.3 - Student-Athlete Well-Being
The purpose of the NCAA certification process is to ensure the NCAA's fundamental commitment to integrity in intercollegiate athletics. The program is structured to achieve its goal in several ways:
- 1. By opening the affairs of athletics to the university community and public.
- 2. By setting standards (called operating principles) for the operation of Division I athletics programs.
- 3. By putting tough sanctions in place for institutions that fail to conduct a comprehensive self-study or to correct deficiencies.
An effective self-study benefits the institution by providing self-awareness, affirmation and opportunities to improve.
At this time, we invite the community to participate in this process by reviewing the self-study reports and providing us with additional feedback. Please take some time to look all seven reports at the following web address:
Any concerns or comments you might have are welcomed. Please email your reactions to Dr. Paul Watson, UC Foundation Professor of Psychology and Chair of the NCAA Athletics Self-Study Committee, at firstname.lastname@example.com. Again, your reactions are welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to assist us in this effort to strengthen our commitment to integrity, academic success, diversity and student-athlete well-being. Go Mocs!
All the best,
Rick Hart
Director of Athletics
