Saturday: Tomic v. Murray / Stephens v. Williams at the Sony Open Tennis
The Sony Open is one of the only combined two week events on the ATP and WTA Tour calendars (featuring the world's top ranked pros – 96 men and 96 women – in singles competition and 32 men's teams and 32 women's teams in doubles action). And Saturday's lineup is a good example of how exciting this format can be. If you subscribe to the Tennis Channel, you can catch the action live, from 11:00am – 11:00pm.
The Saturday action at the Sony Open Tennis tournament in Miami comes down to two matches; one from the ATP and the other from the WTA. They both take place in the Stadium, one after the other. Both matches pit established veteran champions against up-and-coming players that are expected to be champions someday themselves. Who knows? That story could play itself out in the men's second and women's third round.
The first match to watch will be Bernard Tomic (AUS) against the world's number three player Andy Murray (GBR). Murray received a first round bye, so this match will be his first appearance at Miami's Crandon Park Tennis Center this year. Tomic defeated France's Marc Gicquel [7-5, 7-6, (7-3)] in the opening round.
Tomic did a promotional press appearance with the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders yesterday. Let's hope that inspired him to be at peak form; he'll need it to defeat Murray. Murray has made Miami his home in the off-season, so he is used to the humid conditions there. On the other hand, Murray hasn't had much practice against the style of play that Tomic has developed lately. Tomic can be a challenge when he mixes up his tactics with lots of angled slices and drop shots, so it all depends on whoever is having the better day.
A Radio Interview With Andy Murray…
In 2012 Novak Djokovic defeated Andy Murray. As for Tomic, Murray has only played him once before — in Brisbane last year. In that match, Murray easily defeated Tomic (6-3, 6-2).
The other match to watch Saturday will pit American female rising star Sloane Stephens against fellow American Venus Williams. After having taken Serena Williams out of the Australian Open quarterfinals, all eyes will be on Sloane Stephens (world ranked number 16) as she takes on Venus, currently the world's number 18 player. But her run to the third round here has been something of a struggle, especially her (0-6, 6-4, 6-4) win over No. 64 Olga Govortsova of Belarus in second-round play. Add to that Venus' strength as a hard court player and it's another exciting toss up.
One other Saturday match of note:
-Australians Lleyton Hewitt and Bernard Tomic team up as partners in a doubles match against Ivan Dodig (CRO) and Marcelo Melo (BRA). Is this a sign that the once strained relationship between the two Aussies has repaired? If so, they could be a powerful force, bringing to the court some of the same passion and competitiveness that American veteran and newcomer James Blake and Jack Sock have displayed in doubles matches this year.
The men's and women's finals will broadcast live on CBS. The women's final will take place on Saturday, March 30 (12:00pm – 2:30pm). The men's final will take place on Sunday, March 31 (11:30am – 2:00pm).

Cunningham said the town was initially confident it would prevail in the appellate court decision. He said the reason for that confidence was based on the fact that a new issue was raised by complainant Theodore Rickets in the case that was not heard in the Supreme Court. He and his attorneys said the residency requirement fell under the Public Officers Law, which states the public officer must live in town they are serving.
"That was what we went into the Appellate Division and argued they can't appeal on this because they never reserved the right to argue it in the first place," he said, adding that the town said they had never been given the right to argue on the law. "That's why we felt very comfortable we would be successful because that is an ongoing standard that the appellate division has applied across the board."
While Colonie Republicans did win in court on the decision of residency, there was still an issue over the fact that Cunningham was running a department where they felt a lot of engineering decisions would have to be made. Cunningham said he does not make a single engineering decision nor does any engineering work. And with a combination of the town-designated engineers and the engineering firms the town contract out to, there is no need for him to make any engineering decisions.
In Bethlehem, Cunningham said when he looked for a commissioner of Public Works, he wanted someone who was a good administrator and could look at situations from a broader perspective, as opposed to just engineering. When he worked at Key Bank, Cunningham said, he managed programmers, even though he is not one.
Similarly, Cunningham said, Town Supervisor Paula Mahan wanted to appoint a Public Works commissioner who is an administrator as opposed to an engineer.

In His Own Words: Jimmy Wilson
Posted By The Finsiders On July 2, 2012 @ 9:31 am In Football | No Comments
[1]Dolphins safety Jimmy Wilson is looking to build on his first-year successes and earn a more prominent in role in the secondary. Wilson recently spoke to the John Congemi about his expectations heading into the 2012 season. [2] Here's what he had to say:
On Dolphins off-season program:
"Everybody (was in Davie, Fla.) working hard. We haven't slowed down since the day we started. We've got new coaches; we've got some new players on the team. The guys from last year, we want to come out and make sure no one is out there being lackadaisical. We want to be firing on all cylinders by the time the season starts."
On playing multiple positions on defense:
"Last year I came into a new defense and they prepped me pretty good and it carried over into this year since I was playing three positions last year. Nothing's really changed for me. I'm just going to work hard. We have great coaches, and they're getting our system down pretty good. It's going to be a good year."
On communication between the new Defensive Coordinator Kevin Coyle and the players:
"It's been really good. We've had a lot of time in meeting rooms, so everybody's out there talking. It's going to be a lot different than last year. We weren't communicating as much and I think now that the secondary has been together at least a whole year, and we've got a lot of guys back, our communication has been great so far."
On 'Hard Knocks':
"That first day when we heard about "Hard Knocks," everybody in that practice was a little faster, everybody had a little more pop. We just decided that we have a chance to show everybody our work ethic and they can see what we're putting on film and see how we're trying to get better going into next year."

Pupil in ICU after pillowcase hitComment on this story
Cape Town - A 14-year-old pupil from York High School in George is in intensive care in hospital after another schoolboy allegedly hit him on the head with a shoe inside a pillowcase.
Grade 8 pupil Andrew Searle was taken to the Medi Clinic George on Tuesday night.
According to his father, Sean Searle, a group of boys entered the school's dormitory where he was sleeping.
His son was struck once on the leg and once on the side of his head, he said.
"He was struck with what we are led to believe was either a pillow or a pillowcase and it had a shoe inside. It is what they call a dormitory raid. It was not sanctioned by the school," Searle said.
He said no senior boys were involved.
"About an hour later he experienced severe head pains and asked his friends to call the housemaster. After the housemaster came, he was taken to hospital very quickly.
"Fortunately the hospital is about five minutes away. He arrived there in a semi-conscious state."
His other son, Michael, 16, called his wife, Sally, at their Plettenberg Bay home at about 12.30am to say Andrew was going for a CT scan.
"It was very fortunate that a neurosurgeon happened to be at the hospital. He diagnosed him as having subdural haematoma (bleeding on the brain). Andrew went for immediate surgery. They drained blood, stabilised him and put him in ICU," said Searle, who was at work in Joburg when the incident took place.
Andrew was sedated and would remain in ICU until tomorrow at least, he said.
"The doctors want to keep him under sedation until Saturday and then they'll assess his condition. We are positive of a speedy recovery."
Medi Clinic George hospital manager George Schutte said: "He has been in theatre for surgery. His condition is stable."
Education MEC Donald Grant's spokeswoman, Bronagh Casey, said according to an official there was some horseplay among grade 8, 9 and 10 pupils and things got out of hand.
"A Grade 10 pupil allegedly had a shoe in a pillowcase and hit the Grade 8 boy. He is in hospital with a skull fracture. Some children have been suspended from the hostel - not the school.
"The school's governing body will look at taking further action. The pupil is still in ICU and we are hoping for his full recovery."

Cinema and Its Role in Portraying Christ
Cardinal Poupard Says Films Have Role in Evangelization
| 955 hits
VATICAN CITY, DEC. 2, 2003 (Zenit.org).- Today the cinema is an imperative for evangelization, says the president of the Pontifical Council for Culture.
Cardinal Paul Poupard made this affirmation when delivering the opening address at the 7th Congress on the Cinema and the Church. The annual congress is organized jointly with the Pontifical Council for Social Communications.
Among the participants in the congress was Polish film director Krzysztof Zanussi, whose film "The Supplement" will open Thursday in Italy.
The theme of the congress, "Christ in the Cinema: A Cinematographic Canon," underlined that "the cinema is an indispensable vehicle to construct culture and, in the Church, to evangelize," Cardinal Poupard said in his address.
"I hope the cinema will be able to construct an authentic culture of life and of the dignity of the person," as well as "a civilization of mutual respect and coexistence between cultures," he said.
"I am fully confident that those who operate in the world of cinema will be able to respond to this request for a supplement of hope," the cardinal added.
For his part, Father Javier García González, professor at the Regina Apostolorum Pontifical Athenaeum, said that the "cinema and evangelization should go together."
Father García, an expert in Christology, added there are risks in presenting Jesus Christ in the cinema. It "might not correspond to the canonical Christ, to the Christ of the faith of the People of God and of the Church," he warned. Moreover, "non-essential human factors might prevail, such as ideology, materialism, consumerism or eroticism."
However, he added that "cinematographic language can represent the Son of God in images," and can do so "without falling into a spiritualist and falsely angelical flight, but affirming the truth of the Incarnation."
Ermelinda Campani of Stanford University said: "To produce film on Jesus Christ is to produce films that stem from the collective imagination, and this has its strength and its weakness, as they touch the spinal cord of Western culture."
Campani suggested that there is complementarity, not opposition, between "cinema and the sacred" and denied that the cinema is the realm of "the profane."
"To go to the movies is, in a certain sense, to participate in a collective rite," the professor said.
Monsignor Enric Planas, director of the Vatican Film Library, expressed his willingness to receive all films on Jesus Christ. "I want all films on Jesus Christ, because they show us the reflection of Jesus Christ, perfect communicator," he said.
He admitted however that he preferred "films that present the informality of God in the ordinary, his tenderness and immediacy: I am grateful to the authors who are able to show us these features in the figure of Jesus Christ."
In addition to the two pontifical councils, the congress was supported by the Rivista del Cinematografo of the Entertainment Entity (an Italian public institution) and the General Direction of the Cinema of the Ministry of Cultural Goods and Activities. It also had the collaboration of RAI Cine and Medusa Film.

Jay-Z leads nominees at music-filled BET Awards
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jay-Z and Justin Bieber. Kanye West and T.I. John Legend and Prince.
Hosted by Queen Latifah, Sunday night's BET Awards promise to be a star-studded affair, and organizers say it will be packed with more performances than in previous years.
West and T.I. will make their TV comebacks on the show. West is set to perform, returning to the spotlight after keeping a low profile since last year's MTV Video Music Awards, when the rapper swiped the microphone from stunned "Best Female Video" winner Taylor Swift and declared that Beyonce should have won the award. T.I. will also return to the stage for his first televised performance since his release from prison in December.
Legend and Prince will receive special honors at Sunday's ceremony, to be broadcast live from the Shrine Auditorium. Legend will be presented with BET's humanitarian award for his work the Show Me campaign, which aims to eradicate poverty worldwide through education and health care. The artist currently known as Prince will be feted with musical tributes as the recipient of the network's lifetime achievement award.
The BET Awards honor the year's best in music, sports and film in 19 categories.
Jay-Z leads nominees with five nods, including best male hip-hop artist and two for video of the year, for "Empire State of Mind" and "Run This Town."
Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Trey Songz and Melanie Fiona have four nominations each.
Bieber, the tween sensation, is up for best new artist, while fellow tween star, Selena Gomez, is nominated for the Young Stars award.
Winners are selected by a voting academy comprising industry insiders and executives, music journalists and a group of fans randomly selected by BET.com.

If your IT manager took off tomorrow, or worse, got hit by a bus, would you know where to look for the administrative-level password he uses to run your company's computer network?
It's not a trick question. In fact, it's a question IT security consultants routinely pose to new clients to find out what they're doing -- or not doing -- to safeguard their computer networks.
The importance of adequately managing high-level IT passwords hit home in July, after a disgruntled network administrator went to jail rather than divulge the password he'd created to lock up a multi-million dollar computer system the city of San Francisco's technology department used to store payroll files, inmate bookings and other sensitive files.
The incident exposed the reality that even large organizations don't always do what they should when it comes to high-level administrative passwords, which IT managers also call super-user or "God account" passwords.
But business owners need to do a better job of managing network passwords because Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and other state and federal regulations as well as credit-card processors have set standards for digital information security that demand it.
Keep passwords under lock and key
One of the best ways to guard against sabotage or accidental disaster is to avoid using top-level administrative passwords as much as possible, says Irving Popovetsky, principal consultant with ProStructure Consulting, a Portland, Ore., security firm. Choose one high-level person, preferably the IT director, company officer or someone else who's personally liable for happens in IT, and entrust them with the password. "But it should never be used except in emergencies," Popovetsky says.
Instead, lock it away -- in a bank vault if you have to -- and have that person use a separate account for daily tasks such as reading e-mail, visiting websites, or using software programs. Popovetsky suggests that any IT staff person who has access to a password for even a portion of a company's computer network also be required to use a separate, second account for routine daily tasks. Why? For one, it makes it easier to audit activities in accounts used for network administration and maintenance to see who's making changes to what. Even more importantly, it eliminates the risk of a hacker breaking into one of those high-level administrative accounts and using it to steal company information or launch a Trojan horse or other vicious software program, Popovetsky says.
Companies should also practice what IT security professionals call role-based management or the principle of least privilege, where employees have the minimum access to the company's computer network they need to do their job, says Javed Ikbal, principal at zSquad, an IT security consultant in Boston.
Non-knowledge workers such as secretaries or call-center employees don't need full access to their own workstations, so there's no reason to give them administrator passwords for the machines. On the other hand, programmers and other knowledge workers need some additional administrative rights in order to do their jobs and their passwords should be tailored accordingly.
Other password precautions
Other steps companies can take include the following:
- Change the name of system administrator accounts. Hackers look for default names for administrator accounts, such as "Administrator" on Microsoft systems and "root" on Unix systems. Foil them by changing these names to something hard to guess. Popovetsky's clients have changed the names of their administrator accounts to "Barney Rubble" or "Fred Flintstone." "That right away reduces the risk a little," he says.
- Use strong passwords. Make passwords for top-level accounts hard to crack by using at least eight characters and including mixed capitalization and at least one character that's not a letter or number.
- Be consistent. Companies often use strong security measures around key computer networks but not on other, less critical ones. That's short-sighted because hackers can use the less critical systems as a way into the more secure ones. It's like putting a lock on your front door but forgetting to close the window right next to it, Popovetsky says.
- Use software. Companies that run Microsoft-based networks can use a free program called Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer to scan servers and workstations to see if they're running under optimum security settings, and if they're not, get recommendations for what could be changed.
According to Ikbal, companies can also use privileged identity management technology to secure, automate and audit passwords for applications, databases, and servers. Companies that make PIM technology include Cyber-Ark, e-DMZ, Quest, and Symark.
But don't rely entirely on software for protection. IT security is a process, and a business owner who uses software but doesn't change their security procedures usually finds out the hard way that one doesn't work without the other, Popovetsky says. "The problem with security is it's hard, it's really hard. The deeper you get into it, the more complex it is."

Harvesting Peace: Food Security, Conflict, and CooperationSep 10, 2013
This report explores the complex linkages between conflict and food security, drawing insights from scholarly work to help inform more effective programming for practitioners. Food insecurity both results from and contributes to repeated rounds of armed conflict in many places. Conflict can reduce the amount of food available, disrupt people's access to food, limits families' access to food preparation facilities and health care, and increase uncertainty about satisfying future needs for food and nutrition. Likewise, food insecurity may help to sustain conflict or reverse post-conflict recovery efforts.

SILVER CITY >> The Western New Mexico University softball team rebounded from Saturday with a 7-3 victory in the first game against the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. The teams would go back-and-forth in the second game before the Mountain Lions plated the final run in the seventh to take the 9-8 victory to split the doubleheader Sunday in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference action.
The first game was close early on with WNMU (9-24, 7-13 RMAC) scoring the first run in the second as senior Tessa Fanning singled home senior Ricki Gentry who walked for the 1-0 lead.
The Lady Mustangs then broke open the one-run game in the fourth. Senior Kale Gahn singled, just before a double by Gentry. After a pair of outs were recorded, senior Tessa Fanning walked to load the bases. Junior Alexis Lawton entered as a pinch-hitter and ripped a 1-2 pitch to right for a single to score Gahn. Freshman Lacy Granger followed, also as a pinch-hitter, and hit a grounder to the shortstop that was mishandled to score Gentry. Junior Stephanie Higgins delivered the biggest blow as she took the first pitch and tripled just out of the reach of the right fielder to clear the bases and give WNMU a commanding 6-0 lead.
UCCS (11-9, 9-6 RMAC) would come back with three in the fifth, but that would be all as senior Breanna Diaz added the last run of the game in the home half with an RBI single to right to score redshirt freshman pinch-runner Davi Martin.
Hits were nearly even, with WNMU holding a slight 9-8 advantage. Gahn and sophomore Mary Othon led the team with two hits apiece, while Higgins drove in a game-high three RBI.
In the circle, sophomore Domi Shone tossed another complete game giving up just one earned run. Korey Kulpins ended up with the loss for UCCS, as she allowed just two earned runs.
The second game witnessed both offenses clicking to the tune of 31 combined hits. There was a run scored in all seven innings.
The Mountain Lions would make it three straight innings with a run as they tied the game in the top of the third.
It would remain that way into the fourth. Higgins opened with a single on a 0-2 pitch. McDonald then tried to advance her on a sacrifice bunt, but reached on an error to put runners at first and second. Gahn would walk to load the bases for Gentry. Gentry added another pair of RBI to her four RBI game as she grooved a shot to left field on a 1-2 pitch to plate two and push WNMU in front, 6-4.
Othon made it a three-run lead with a solo home run to open the fifth. UCCS would come back in the top of the sixth, plating four runs to regain the lead at 8-7 heading into the home half. Fanning hit the first pitch she saw for a double to left-center to kick off the frame. Following a pair of outs, Othon battled fouling off several pitches before hitting a shot back through the box that just got past the second baseman and scored freshman pinch-runner Linzy Granger to tie the game at eight.
UCCS held a 16-15 advantage in hits, with McDonald and Othon collecting three hit games. Gentry led the way with four RBI. Three Mountain Lions tallied three hit games as well. In the circle, five pitchers would be used with Kulpins (5-4) ending up with the win for UCCS as she pitched the final two innings and allowed one earned run. For the Lady Mustangs, Shone (8-12) relieved senior Amber Taynton after she pitched 2.1 innings and ended up with the loss after allowing five earned runs in 4.2 innings of work.

|Protective effects of dexrazoxane against acute ischaemia/reperfusion injury of rat hearts.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22913659 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Dexrazoxane (DEX), an inhibitor of topoisomerase II and intracellular iron chelator, is believed to reduce the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protects the heart from the toxicity of anthracycline antineoplastics. As ROS also play a role in the pathogenesis of cardiac ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, the aim was to find out whether DEX can improve cardiac ischaemic tolerance. DEX in a dose of 50, 150, or 450 mg·(kg body mass)(-1) was administered intravenously to rats 60 min before ischaemia. Myocardial infarct size and ventricular arrhythmias were assessed in anaesthetized open-chest animals subjected to 20 min coronary artery occlusion and 3 h reperfusion. Arrhythmias induced by I/R were also assessed in isolated perfused hearts. Only the highest dose of DEX significantly reduced infarct size from 53.9% ± 4.7% of the area at risk in controls to 37.5% ± 4.3% without affecting the myocardial markers of oxidative stress. On the other hand, the significant protective effect against reperfusion arrhythmias occurred only in perfused hearts with the dose of DEX of 150 mg·kg(-1), which also tended to limit the incidence of ischaemic arrhythmias. It is concluded that DEX in a narrow dose range can suppress arrhythmias in isolated hearts subjected to I/R, while a higher dose is needed to limit myocardial infarct size in open-chest rats.

I have a EMP table in database. My application has Emp.java mapping to this table.
There is EmpSingleton.java which is a singleton class in the system, which has a vector which will load all the Emp records. So when a employee information is required first we get a reference to the singleton and then get the details of the particular record
In the constructor of the EmpSingleton, the vector is created but the records are not loaded. The client invokes a seperate function to load the records of Emp.
Now in UML if I show the objects EmpSingleton and Emp what will be the kind of relation between these two. Will it be assocation/aggregation/composition?

Hi, welcome to the ranch!
I wouldn't call it composition becasue the singleton doesn't seem to be made up of Employees. It holds a collection of them but that doesn't quite feel the same.
By the way: This may be fine as a learning exercise, but I'd consider alternatives to this design idea for a system of any size or complexity. What if you get too many Employees to fit into memory at the same time? How long will it take to load them? How will you handle updates back to the database or file ... could some class change an Employee object and never tell the singleton? What if two or more copies of this program need to update the employee database at the same time? How do you create new Employees?
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

Above and below sensory input are two lovers disconnected by us
So we have to join them in our actions
We are the center of what one wants
You are the apple of my life
There's no one but you in the world I'd choose
You are the sum and whole of life
There is no one in the world but you and I
You connect the earth to the sky
And nothing comes between us
Our bodies or minds
Nothing disconnects us

On planning your outfit...
So I had the perfect outfit all mapped out. And then got up this morning and just intuitively grabbed a, like, completely different, and I'm talking head-to-toe here, ensemble. Yah, I can be sorta contrary...
Moral of the story: don't bother planning your outfit, you'll have changed your mind by the morning anyway.
Realistically it was too warm today for my envisioned outfit anyway... (11C-21C, if you're interested) I'll wear it some other, more winter-y day.
Shirt; Burda 7767, with modifications, cotton chambray, details here
Skirt; skirt "m" from Unique Clothes Any Way You Like by Natsuno Hiraiwa, pink cotton/linen, details here
Socks; handknit by me, details here
Shoes; Francesco Morichetti from Zomp shoes
(Below; just for interest, the back view. This skirt is real versatile in that it can be swivelled around so that bustle is facing any way you choose. I like the skirt worn this way around, but my husband informed this morning he doesn't like it like this. Hmmm, conundrum, should I dress to please my husband, or me??)
12 comments:
Whenever I try to plan my outfit in advance I never end up wearing it. Unless I have to 'cuz it's a wedding or something :)ReplyDelete
I love your today's outfit, even though your heart last night was different. I love the color of the skirt on you. BTW I've sent an email to you about the woven labels. Could you check your email inbox whenever you have time, please?ReplyDelete
I love this outfit; I think it's super adorable. However, if I tried to pull it off, I'd totally look frumpy! I may be...a tad jealous. :)ReplyDelete
Dressing for your husband or dressing for you? Hmm. You probably should dress for your husband occasionally. But all the time would be a very bad idea! Just on principle alone.ReplyDelete
And thats a cute skirt btw.
Thanks for the knitting explanation. I do think that I understand. I'll have to try it next time to be sure though. Unfortunately, I started a new ball last night before reading your comment! So it'll take me a few days to give it a try. I'll let you know!ReplyDelete
For you - of course. Husbands tend to prefer us without clothes anyway.ReplyDelete
Once again, your winter temperatures are matching my "summer"! ;) Well, the morning here was a bit colder, the afternoon may be a bit warmer, though it's supposed to rain.ReplyDelete
I have the same conundrum husband-wise ALL the time. My hubby's ideas of what look good are... well, a little narrow. They also seem to have crystallized right around 1988. And he hates red, my favourite colour. So mostly I weight his opinion by how much I expect to see him during the day... ;)
I'm a planner, too, and about 40% of the time, I actually wear what I'd set out the night before. Ah, the joy of a full wardrobe... maybe too many options sometimes.ReplyDelete
This outfit is so easy and breezy! I have a nearly identical top (not me-made) that I wear with tan linen jammy pants around the house. I think I might possibly be channeling you. LOL
Thx for the comments on my blog, too. Your comments are my favourite, and I'm always interested to know what you think about my clothes. :)
Thanks for the comment on my dad's shirt! I just made a chambray top like the one you are wearing in the picture. I like how you styled it! I'm working on finding better ways to wear mine because I realized I have nothing that goes with it!ReplyDelete
hmmm .... is your husband going to see you a great deal today, or not? If he is, then I think dressing to please him is important. If he's not, then I think however you want to wear it is fine. I mean, if you were going out somewhere together .... but if you are at home working by yourself maybe not.ReplyDelete
Love your casual comfort. And I amreally liking the short socks with ankle boots. It's so fun!
I'm not really a pre-planner either, I tend to have one item in mind though, and rush around trying to find things that match!ReplyDelete
You look lovely in chambray, your hair colour really compliments it! I like back interest on the skirt too, maybe you could wear it at the front, and swivel it round to the back once husband leaves for work! ;)
If I pleased my husband I would have nothing to wear.ReplyDelete

WOS TV: Phantom of the Opera Celebrates its 21st
Editorial Staff • West End • 10 Oct 2007
Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, with book and lyrics by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe, is based on Gaston Leroux's gothic novel about a masked man who falls in love with an ingénue singer at the Paris Opera House. It premiered on 9 October 1986 at Her Majesty's, directed by Harold Prince and starring Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman, who became international stars as the Phantom and Christine, the object of his affections.
In 1999, The Phantom of the Opera was named the 20th century's most successful money-making show, dwarfing even blockbuster Hollywood films like Titanic at the box office. In December 2004, Lloyd Webber released the £55 million big screen version, directed by Joel Schumacher.
Worldwide, the stage version has been seen in 124 cities in 25 countries, played to over 100 million people, grossed over £1.7 billion and won 50 major awards, including three Oliviers in London. The Phantom of the Opera became the longest running show in Broadway history on 9 January 2006 when it celebrated its 7,486th performance, surpassing the previous record holder, Lloyd Webber's Cats. This coincided with the Broadway and the American touring company celebrating an unprecedented 20,000 performances in the US. The musical is currently playing in London, New York, Budapest, Las Vegas, Singapore and Osaka, and touring the US and Australia.
The West End production of The Phantom of the Opera now stars Ramin Karimloo, who last month became the youngest ever actor cast in the title role in the West End, Robyn North and Leila Benn Harris, who alternate in the role of ingénue singer Christine, Alex Rathgeber as Raoul, Benjamin Lake as Piangi, Wendy Ferguson as Carlotta, James Barron as Monsieur Firmin, Sam Hiller as Monsieur André, Heather Jackson as Madame Giry and Lyndsey Wise as Meg Giry.

For Whatsonstage.com TV, we were on hand for The Phantom of the Opera curtain call and post-show celebrations at Her Majesty's Theatre. Amongst our TV interviewees are cast members Ramin Karimloo, Robyn North, Leila Benn Harris, Alex Rathgeber and Benjamin Lake, lyricist and book writer Richard Stilgoe, choreographer Gillian Lynne, resident choreographer and original cast member Lynn Jezzard and resident director Laurence Connor.

Countdown to camp: Scott Vallone
Posted By Keith Sargeant On July 10, 2011 @ 12:00 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
As part of our countdown to Rutgers football preseason camp, we're looking at the 10 most important players to the Scarlet Knights' success this fall. The criteria includes how much of an impact we expect each player to make, as well as how vital their presence in the Scarlet Knights' lineup will be.
Today, we unveil the player Scarlet Scuttlebutt believes is the Scarlet Knights' most important player.
1. Scott Vallone, nose tackle:
With the possible exception of offensive line, no position group figures to be more scrutinized this summer than the defensive line, where three of the four spots will have untested players looking to prove themselves. Converted linebacker Manny Abreu moves into one end spot, part-time starter Justin Francis steps into a featured role at rush end, and Michael Larrow will look to fend off the likes of Kenneth Kirksey, Isaac Holmes and Djwany Mera at 3-tech tackle.
Fortunately for Greg Schiano, Scott Vallone returns to anchor a d-line unit that wore down late last season — not coincidently after key backup Eric LeGrand suffered his devastating injury.
After showing promise during the 4-2 start, Rutgers' defense was among the worst in the country in stopping the run and recording sacks over the six-game losing streak to close the season — two indictments on just how much the d-line struggled. There's enough talent for Rutgers fans to hope for better results, but consider Vallone the key to helping all that inexperience grow.
The 6-3, 270-pound junior from Long Island, who is a near-lock to be named one of Rutgers captains this summer, is a lead-by-example type who has started every game the past two seasons. After earning Freshman All-America honors in 2009, Vallone's production dipped as he tallied 44 tackles, including 6.5 for losses, and five quarterback hurries last fall.
Vallone should benefit from his move to nose tackle (he played 3-tech alongside Charlie Noonan last season), and this spring he showed his potential to dominate opposing centers and guards.
Factor in Vallone's importance to a question-filled defensive line, his status among the Big East's most proven d-tackles, his ability to lead, and the lack of depth behind him and it's why we consider the St. Anthony (N.Y.) High product the Scarlet Knights' most important player this season.

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Mar 31, 2013
LAST UPDATED: 7:02 p.m. HST, Feb 13, 2014
Residents of District 6 face one of the higher concentrations of failed city roads — the worst of the worst — based on a survey completed late last year. More than 21 lane-miles of road, representing nearly 5.5 percent of the district's total city lane-miles, were found to be "failed."
» Represented by City Councilwoman Carol Fukunaga (Email)
» Includes parts of Makiki, downtown, Punchbowl, Pauoa Valley and Nuuanu, and stretches west to include parts of Liliha and Kalihi
The district also has the largest number of failed roads that so far don't show up on the city's repaving schedule. A Star-Advertiser analysis found 30 failed road segments for the district not appearing on the list.
City officials in charge of repaving say many of these roads are in the design phase and will eventually go out to bid for construction. District 7 had the next closest number of failed roads not on the list, at 14.
Despite the high quantity of failed roads, more than 75 percent of District 6's total lane-miles were found to be "fair" or better. Three other districts had higher percentages of roads deemed at least fair. Those same three, Districts 1, 7 and 8, also had lower percentages of substandard roads deemed "poor" or worse.
Islandwide, 72.2 percent of island roads were fair or better, while 27.8 percent were found to be poor or worse, based on last year's survey.
Star-Advertiser readers sound off on island roads via Facebook, online story comments and emailed feedback:

To rate how badly damaged a road's surface is many cities including Honolulu use a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-designed point system. Roads are scored between 0 and 100, 0 being the worst and 100 being the best. The score is calculated mainly using three criteria: the type(s) of damage, how severe the damage is, and how extensive it is.
Because it's a score, there could be different types of damage seen in different categories. Here's a general idea of what drivers can expect.
Some roads may have been repaired since the City and County of Honolulu conducted its survey in 2012. An asterisk (*) denotes city road segments that are not listed on the city's repaving schedule. Many of those roads are still in the design phase and will go out to bid for construction within a year, officials say.

Which Contract Is Worse: Albert Pujols or Alex Rodriguez? [POLL]
When I take a look at the two men I am questioning in this debate, I honestly never thought I'd have to ask this question. The track record speaks for itself with Albert Pujols - he was the ultimate model of consistency for a decade with the St. Louis Cardinals and one of very few players I would have ever considered giving the kind of money he eventually received from the LA Angels, which was $240 million over the course of a 10-year deal.

Some Stars In Sports Just Have It, And Others Don't
LeBron James (now), Sidney Crosby, Albert Pujols (while with the Cardinals), baseball's Giants as a team, Derek Jeter through the years, Mariano Rivera, Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Mark Messier, Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, Henrik Lundqvist and plenty more. You get the picture. When these guys step-up, their teams win and advance.

How Much is Robinson Cano Really Worth?
Brian Kenny of MLB Network recently suggested that Robinson Cano should get $252 million after this year because he is worth seven wins per season in the stupid category of "Wins Above Replacement." This category is almost as stupid as giving Carl Pavano $40 million over four years. Why? Seven wins in the regular season means nothing in the postseason if you don't hit and lead, which Cano has yet to do either.

Any doubt that new Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro is taking his cues from Cuba should have been dispelled by recent events. As Maduro huddled with the Castro brothers in Havana and recommitted Venezuela to the heavy subsidies that keep the Cuban economy afloat, his functionaries back in Caracas made two announcements: first, that a promised audit of the questionable election that ratified Maduro as the successor to Hugo Chavez would be perfunctory, excluding the materials that the opposition says would show evidence of fraud; and second, that a 35-year-old U.S. filmmaker arrested on ludicrous accusations of espionage had been criminally charged.
The dog-eared Castro playbook calls for distracting the public at times of crisis with crude anti-Americanism — and taking hostages who can be used for leverage with Washington. For more than three years, Cuba has been holding Alan P. Gross, a Bethesda, Md.-based contractor for the U.S. Agency for International Development, on patently false espionage charges, in the hope that he can swapped for five confessed Cuban spies imprisoned or paroled in the United States.
Now Maduro has his own "gringo," as he called him: Timothy Tracy, a Hollywood-based documentary maker who spent several months interviewing Chavez militants and opposition students before he was abruptly arrested at the airport last week.
Maduro and the regime's propaganda apparatus are nevertheless portraying him as a sinister secret agent who was financing "violent groups" to provoke "a civil war." That, claimed Interior and Justice Minister Miguel Rodriguez, "would lead to the intervention of a foreign power to bring order to the country." Fear of a U.S. invasion? Another Castro cliche.
The real danger in Venezuela is not that an Obama administration unwilling to provide leadership in Syria would make any serious attempt to prevent Maduro's consolidation of power. It is that Maduro will follow up on his jailing of an innocent American with a full-scale crackdown on the opposition. Government spokesmen have taken to calling Henrique Capriles, who challenged Maduro in the presidential election and demanded an audit of the results, a "fascist murderer;" the prisons minister said she has a cell waiting for him.
On Saturday, authorities arrested a retired general, Antonio Rivero, who — no surprise — is known for his denunciations of Cuban infiltration of the Venezuelan military. Maduro keeps promising he will soon apply "mano dura," or a hard hand — a phrase that has been a favorite of Latin strongmen ranging from Anastasio Somoza to Augusto Pinochet.
Maduro and his Cuban tutors will likely watch to see if there is any substantial response from the Obama administration or other South American governments to the seizing of Tracy. If there is not, don't be surprised to see Venezuela's jails filled by Capriles and other political prisoners.

Why Did the Fed Bailout AIG and Not Lehman Brothers?
Liked it
- Subscribe to RSS
What did the Federal Reserve Bank fear about a collapse of American International Group that it did not fear about a collapse of Lehman Brothers? The Fed feared a financial catastrophe because of a special line of business of AIG.
Today, September 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank "loaned" American International Group approximately $85 billion dollars and giving the government a 79.9% stake in the company. However, earlier in the day, Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after reportedly asking if the Fed would loan to Lehman. What was it about American International Group that inclined the Fed to make such an unprecedented loan to a private company?
American International Group is one of the world's largest insurance companies, insuring risks across a wide spectrum of activities, from property and casualty, to director and officer insurance, to one of the most arcane areas of insurance – credit default swaps. Although "credit default swaps" does not sound like insurance, it is a type of insurance in which AIG played a large role. A credit default swap is a contract by which one party agrees for a certain payment to accept the risk that another party's bonds will not default. For example, assume a company has a low credit rating from the major rating agencies – a company like General Motors for instance. If General Motors wants to sell bonds with a low rating (commonly called "junk bonds" or "high yield" debt), the party that buys the bonds may want to purchase some insurance on the bonds' full payment if General Motors cannot ultimately pay the principal or interest on the bond when it comes due. The buyer may purchase such insurance from an insurance company like AIG. These types of insured arrangements are called credit default swaps – in short, they relate to bonds, thus the "credit" term, they relate to a default, thus the "default" term, and they relate to an exchange of risk, thus the "swap" term. These arrangements are also called counterparty risk transactions, where the risk of a default is traded to the insurance company (the counterparty) in exchange for a payment.
During the great bull market of 1982-2000, and during the relatively strong economy from 2002-2007, credit default swaps were a good business for insurance companies. They received premium payments, and in turn the bond defaults ran very predictably very low. That party ended when the mortgage-backed security market collapsed due to demonstrably over-rated collateral; that is, the homes backing up the mortgages were decreasing in value making the collateral for those securities less valuable; thus, making those securities less valuable. That reality is what pushed Bear Stearns close to bankruptcy before the Fed convinced JP Morgan to purchase the spent husk of what was once Bear Stearns.
That is all a long-winded explanation of a type of insurance, but that does not explain why the Fed opted to bailout AIG and not Lehman Brothers. The reason for the bailout is that the entire credit default system is a large unknown to the Fed, and the Fed fears that if a large credit default player like AIG cannot make good on its swaps, then a lot of bonds will not in reality be insured, and the balance sheets of many large banks holding low-rated bonds will be severely impaired causing any number of large institutions (banks and otherwise) to suddenly become insolvent. The Fed feared that a credit default meltdown could meltdown the entire financial system and cost the Fed many multiples of $85 billion.
The credit default market is not organized on any exchange. Each arrangement is unique and structured privately. Often the counterparty risk assumed in a credit default swap is swapped again to another party or broken up and swapped out to multiple players, kind of like reinsurance. The only problem is that no one has a handle on exactly how much exposure exists in the credit default market. The risk is that as one follows the trail of swaps, the last man standing will not have the capital to honor the swap agreement, and that will put the swap holder and the swap maker both into default. The Fed really does not know how close we are to some major financial catastrophe that could arise from credit default swaps so the Fed is taking a very conservative approach with the AIG bailout.
Hence, the Fed is content to see some major investment banks collapse, but allowing the credit default swap arrangements to default in a monumental way is even too risky for the Fed. Thus, the Fed opted for the bailout, and is working with Treasury Secretary Paulson to find a way to shine some light on the credit default swap markets.

What is the Rapture
Definition: Rapture
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a rousing cry, with a call from one of the ruling angels, and with God's shofar; those who died united with the Messiah will be the first to rise; 17 then we who are left still alive will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we will always be with the Lord.
Many people simply do not believe in the Rapture as it is taught by many, they assume that the only time we will ascend to be with Christ is on our death and resurrection, and yet the Bible clearly states that some that are alive will rise to meet with Jesus on His return. I agree that this meaning of rapture is relativity new, however whatever you call it, if the Bible says that some of those who go to join Christ in the air are still alive, and you believe in the word of the Bible, you must accept that not all will be dead and need to be resurrected on His return.

As the Obama administration's efforts to limit access to guns continue to pit different interest groups against each other, a pastor has urged members of his congregation to bring their guns to church.
Ken Pagano, the pastor of the New Bethel Church in Louisville, Kentucky, recently urged his flock to wear or carry their firearms into the sanctuary to "celebrate our rights as Americans," according to the New York Times.
"God and guns were part of the foundation of this country," he says, quoted by the newspaper.
"I don't see any contradiction in this. Not every Christian denomination is pacifist," he stresses.
Meanwhile, in a sign that the ideological conflict between supporters and opponents of gun rights is far from abating, state legislatures across the country have rejected bills that would make it obligatory for colleges and universities to allow students to carry loaded, hidden handguns on campuses.
According to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, by the end of the current legislative session, a total of 22 states rejected 34 bills to that effect.
Moreover, as Andy Pelosi, president of GunFreeKids.org and head of The Campaign to Keep Guns off Campus, points out, "College students are joining the fight for a safer America and as history demonstrates, the important social movements in our country have always been fueled by young people."

Businessman Scott Wagner's apparent win in the 28th Senate District isn't a signal of major political shifts or tea party takeover in York County, analysts said, and the results of Tuesday's special election could be specific to the dynamics of just that race.
Last year's federal government shutdown left the local branch of the tea party, the York 912 Patriots, vowing to take over the seats of moderate Republicans. But while first-term U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, R-York County, has previous ties to the group, numerous tea party candidates have failed to defeat Republican incumbents in primary races over the past several years.
Wagner has supported those tea party candidates; he identifies as an "independent conservative" and has clearly separated himself from the local GOP establishment.
And that's why York 912 Patriots spokeswoman Beth Roberts said Wagner's win is a boost to the tea party, a "victory for the people, not the party."
"I think the GOP, especially the York County GOP, has had a monopoly on our representation to which the rest of us were not privy for a long time," she said. "I was very happy that Scott Wagner found the chink in their armor."
Roberts said the election results discredit the mainstream-Republican argument that tea party candidates skew elections in favor of Democrats.
"This is a lie," she said. "The districts have been gerrymandered to make sure that doesn't happen."
Still fighting: Roberts said she's hoping Wagner's win is a sign that voters are starting to "wake up" and support candidates who want to return the Republican Party to its core principles, including smaller government and fiscal responsibility.
Voters were motivated to defeat Wagner's opponent and party favorite Ron Miller because he and other Republican incumbents supported a pension increase that's contributing to a state pension crisis, Roberts said. They're also angered by incumbents' support of a transportation bill that indirectly foisted increased gas costs and motor vehicle fees onto their constituents, she said.
But she said there's an uphill fight; Wagner is an anomaly because he had the political outsider message craved by voters and the money and manpower necessary to win against the "party machine."
Getting along: Though the local Republican party worked against Wagner, chairman Bob Wilson released a statement Wednesday congratulating Wagner and urging all Republicans to work together.
"My fight is against the liberal (Democratic) party," Wilson said by phone after the statement was released. "It's not within the confines of my own party."
He said resources are being wasted, and all Republicans need to focus their energy "for where the fight needs to take place, and that's with the other side."
But Roberts said she doesn't see the local tea party as a whole "getting over" what members believe was an orchestrated special election called just to give Miller an advantage. Speaking just for herself, she said she doesn't have enough trust in the party to work with the Republican establishment.
"I think if Bob Wilson wanted to do any favors for the Republican Party and he really wanted to bridge the divide, he should resign," she said.
Roberts is one of at least three tea party members who have launched primary campaigns against incumbent House members in York County this year.
Drift to the right: Asked whether Wagner's win will cause incumbents to drift to the right, Wilson said conservative and moderate trends come and go.
"There will always be those waves and there will always be people who try to ride the coattails of whatever that wave is," he said.
But he said moving too far to the right will alienate voters and drive the Republican Party into minority status.
Analysts said one special election can't be used as a measure of any sort of trend, and voters might just have been angry about the specific situation that played out in the 28th Senate District.
"It's very problematic to ever use special elections as a barometer of a bigger political trend," said Christopher Borick, a non-partisan analyst, professor of political science and director of the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion. "Special elections are the only game in town when they happen."
Tuesday's election does give some sense that the more conservative end of the ideological spectrum was energized, he said, "but we can't generalize an effect in the primary or general elections."
Political analyst G. Terry Madonna said there's an unprecedented angst, hostility and distrust of political parties right now, as well as an obvious division in the Republican Party.
But Wagner's win isn't necessarily a portent of things to come.
"It's a signal that there's some dissatisfaction," he said. "But I don't know what to make of one election. These divisions are most evident in rural conservative Pennsylvania counties. I don't think this means the Republican Party in York is insignificant ... but I don't know what it means moving forward."

Pope unafraid of 'Vatileaks' scandalComment on this story
Vatican City -
Pope Benedict XVI isn't afraid about what might emerge in the widening investigation into leaked documents and is encouraging prosecutors and a fact-finding commission to get to the truth over one of the most serious Holy See scandals in recent history, the Vatican spokesman said Tuesday.
Spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said Benedict was pained by the leaks and that he, Lombardi, felt "personally violated," even though none of the spokesman's correspondence had filtered out to Italian media or into a recent book of leaked documents that have laid bare the infighting, intrigue and petty squabbles that have plagued the highest echelons of the Catholic Church's governance.
The so-called "Vatileaks" scandal has tormented the Vatican for months and represents one of the greatest breaches of trust and security for the pope in recent memory. Benedict's personal butler has been arrested, accused of theft, after documents he had no business having were found in his Vatican City apartment. Few think the butler acted alone, and the investigation is continuing on three separate tracks.
The butler, Paolo Gabriele, is due to be formally questioned in the coming days by Vatican prosecutors following his May 23 arrest, Lombardi said. His lawyers reported that had pledged to fully cooperate with the investigation to get to the truth, raising the specter that higher ranking prelates may soon be implicated.
Lombardi said the scandal was certainly grave, and pointed to the fact that Benedict had established a commission of high-ranking cardinals to investigate alongside the criminal investigation and an internal administrative probe. The cardinals' commission is headed by a heavyweight: Cardinal Julian Herranz, an Opus Dei prelate who headed the Vatican's legal office as well as the disciplinary commission of the Vatican bureaucracy before retiring.
In addition, the pope's personal bodyguard, Domenico Giani, a former Italian secret service agent, has been on something of a crusade tracking down the origin of the leaks in recent months, Vatican insiders report.
"We aren't afraid of the problems, the difficulties and also the errors and guilt that might come out," Lombardi told reporters. "We are trying to do the right thing, following a difficult path of truth and taking the necessary measures to reestablish the trust and good functioning of the governance of the church and its institutions."
He said it certainly was a "difficult test" for the pope and his aides but that he hoped that the problems would be identified so that the Vatican can "enjoy the trust of the people God, which the pope certainly merits and we his collaborators must try to support."
The Vatileaks scandal broke in January when Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi broadcast letters from the former No. 2 Vatican administrator to the pope in which he begged not to be transferred for having exposed alleged corruption that cost the Holy See millions of euros (dollars) in higher contract prices. The prelate, Monsignor Carlo Maria Vigano, is now the Vatican's U.S. ambassador.
The scandal widened over the following months with documents leaked to Italian journalists that laid bare power struggles inside the Vatican over its efforts to show greater financial transparency and comply with international norms to fight money laundering. There was even a leak of a memo claiming that Benedict would die this year.
The scandal reached a peak last weekend, when Nuzzi published an entire book based on a trove of new documentation, including personal correspondence to and from the pope and his private secretary, much of which paints Benedict's No. 2, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, in a negative light. - Sapa-AP

In case anyone was wondering what political campaign ads look like in places where there is no contest, outside the world of swing-state 90 percent negativity, take a moment to drop in on the Manchins of West Virginia.
Democrat Joe Manchin, senator and former governor, is getting his hair cut by wife Gayle, as has been their practice for more than 20 years, the narrator explains.
This is a contest in which Manchin is so safe that the Republican Governors Association even cites him in its own ad against Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, "all hat and no cattle" in the war on coal . It was Manchin, the RGA reminds voters, who stood up to President Barack Obama in the "war on coal."
Manchin, who skipped the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, has been so careful about his contest that he won't even say who he's voting for in the presidential election.
Manchin cut waste and cut taxes as governor, and cut spending in his Senate office., the ad says. "A penny saved is a penny earned," the guy in the kitchen barber chair says.
"And he's cheap," his wife adds.

New Online Catalog Will Improve Library Service at Wauconda Area Library
A new automated computer system is being installed at the Wauconda Area Library, and will make the library more user-friendly by providing easier, more enjoyable access to library resources. The new system will result in significant service improvements for library users and increased efficiency for library staff.
This system, called Polaris, will go live Thursday, October 13. Library Director Tom Kern said the new system will allow patrons to view their own personal library account and renew and reserve items from home, the office or a even a smart phone. "Using this new system is a joy for staff, and we think the public will love it, too," said Kern.
As the library installs the new system, some circulation services at the library will be limited from October 8 to October 12, Kern said. "We will only be able to check materials in or out, and register new patrons," he said. "People will still be able to search for materials online, but no other activity, including paying fines or fees, reserving or renewing, will be available."
When the new system is launched October 13, card holders will have the ability to browse and search the library's thousands of titles from their home computers or even their smart phones. Users will enjoy a new library catalog with improved search options, reading recommendations, a spell check feature ("did you mean?"), and much more. The system also features automated notification by text message or email alerts for holds and items about to become due, as well as personalized automatic alerts of new materials within the user's favorite subject areas. A wide variety of mobile devices will be able to access the Public Access Catalog (PAC). A social bookmarking feature allows Internet users to share bookmarks to titles in their search results with sharing sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Digg.
An integrated library automation system involves all aspects of library operations including acquisitions, cataloging, loans, returns and the public catalog. The library's current system, in place since 1997, had become outdated and is no longer being serviced by the vendor. The library requested proposals from the four top vendors in the industry. Polaris responded with a competitive quote and was ranked highest in user satisfaction in recent library technical literature. Most importantly – after a thorough review of all the alternatives -- the library's Selection Committee found this system to be the most cost-effective, innovative, and user-friendly system available. When the library board approved the selection of Polaris earlier this year, library managers at the meeting cheered.
The first data transfer from the old system to the new went smoothly, and intensive staff training for the library took place September 19-23. The final transfer of data will be done the week leading up to the Go Live date of October 13.
The Wauconda Area Library is the first library in the north suburban area to select Polaris as its automation system. Other Polaris libraries include Baltimore County Public Library, Dallas Public Library and Denver Public Library. Most recent customers include Barrington Area Library, Urbana Free Library and Champaign Public Library, all of whom plan to launch their new systems in December this year.
Also new this fall, the library is upgrading its entire computer system from Windows XP to Windows 7, including upgrades of all Microsoft Office programs from the 2003 version to 2010, the most recent version.
The Wauconda Area Public Library District serves a total of more than 27,000 residents. Last year,checkouts of library materials totaled 643,423, and the library counted more than 256,000 patron visits. Library website (www.wauclib.org) usage reached an all-time high, with a record 322,010 visits and 244,650 logins to the library catalog system.
For further information, please visit the library's website at www.wauclib.org or call Tom Kern at 847-526-6225, extension 209.
