Set list and full audio of the show is available now via Blabbermouth.
In 1994, just a few months before frontman Kurt Cobain took his own life, I attended their extremely sold-out show at what was then called the Seattle Center Arena (now saddled with the sponsored prefix of Key Bank). I wasn't supposed to go. Tickets had been sold via lottery and the odds weren't in my favor; I spent all day standing outside a Ticketmaster outlet, only to watch giddy fellow fans snatch up their tickets and skip joyously out the door.
The day of the show, they released an additional small block of tickets. Fortuitously, I was in my car when this was announced on the radio, drove straight to the now-defunct Wherehouse on Broadway, and snagged two. When I told my best friend that we were now going to the concert we were certain we were shut out of, he screamed like a little girl.
The scene on the sidewalk outside the Showbox (and within the virtual environments of Facebook and Twitter) prior to Soundgarden's not-so-secret reunion show on Friday reminded me of how intensely emotions can run in either direction when tickets are this covetable. Moments after tickets went on sale online at 10 a.m., my Facebook feed turned into an avalanche of elation and despair, as people collectively refreshed their browsers ad nauseum in hopes of been one of the lucky few who would get to see one of Seattle's biggest bands of all-time play together on stage for the first time in 14 years. Once the Ticketmaster server recovered from an immediate crash, tickets were gone in a heartbeat, much to the dismay of the 70-plus crowd of fans waiting expectantly in line for the Showbox box office to open (no tickets were available for purchase at the venue).
That night, as ticket holders cued up for entry underneath a marquee that read "NUDEDRAGONS SOLD OUT" (with "Nudedragons" being an anagram for "Soundgarden"), they walked by desperate fans holding signs displaying triple-digit offers for tickets and the especially heartbreaking scene of one young woman simply giving up and bawling her eyes out. Showbox manager Jeff Steichen was surrounded by a chattering gaggle of male fans, trying to find an angle in. Inside, the private, friends-and-family bar was a grunge-era reunion with a downright euphoric vibe, with everyone from Mudhoney's Mark Arm to grunge godfather Jack Endino grinning broadly while the anticipation built in the room to unbearable levels till Soundgarden took the stage just after 10 p.m.
Opening number "Spoonman" was a little wobbly, but as soon as they followed that with back catalog favorite "Gun", they seemed to be finding their sea legs. They had spent the week prior rehearsing at Avast! studios in Greenwood, and it showed: there were no audible technical missteps from that point forward. The deep-cuts-focused set list, which included several tracks from their 1988 SST debut Ultramega OK, as well as the Sub Pop EP Fopp and 1989's Loud Love, was a wise-choice for the hometown crowd. The "hit single" factor was minimal, with "Outshined" and "Fell on Black Days" being the only big radio-friendly unit shifters busted out.
Frontman Chris Cornell reclaimed his hirsute status, with his curly mop grown out to shoulder length for the occasion. Bassist Ben Shepherd and guitarist Kim Thayil were somewhat more restrained and focused, but obviously happy to be home, cracking smiles once they settled into the 90-minute set, which was capped with a triumvirate encore of "Get on the Snake", "Big Dumb Sex" and a reinterpretation of the Doors' "Waiting For the Sun", which truth be told, didn't work terribly well, but did nothing to take away from what was essentially a wet dream for old school fans.
Back at an after-party in Ballard, Shepherd celebrated with a glowing crowd of friends, including Big Business/Melvins drummer Coady Willis, who flew up from Los Angeles that morning, as soon as he got word of the show. "It was weird," said Shepherd, reflecting on the incredibly warm and reverent reception the band got from the crowd. "I'm used to people throwing things at me!" Next on the official itinerary is their appearance at Lollapalooza in Chicago in August alongside incongruous co-headliners Lady Gaga and Phoenix, though speculations about a slot on Bumbershoot have started circulating already. We can only hope; reunions are rarely this triumphantly executed, and hopefully there's nothing holding them back from continuing forward.

Since I had my daughter I have been struggling with body image issues. Before I got pregnant The most I had ever weighed was 122... I always had an athletic build even after I stopped working out, I never had to watch what I ate or work out more than once a month... and if the weight was the only issue I honestly think I could handle it... but my stomach looks like something out of a horror film, my breast are on the floor, and my once clear clear now is covered with blemishes and random dark spots... most days I can handle it and ignore it... but today I feel like I have reached my limit... My daughter is almost a year and still I look 6months pregnant!!! I didn't just get a few stretch marks the reach to the bottom of my breasts all the way to me pelvis... I can't even look in the mirror anymore without bursting into tears, if my husband even looks at my bare belly i have a panic attack... some days i don't even want to get out of bed because i know when i get up I will have to face the reality of my new body... the part that makes it so much worse is im surrounded by women who have had babies and they look perfect... flat tummies no stretch marks already back in bikinis... i have no one to talk to... bc my friends who have kids look perfect and the ones who don't don't understand... everyone keeps telling me to realize what an amazing thing my body has done and what a miracle it all is and blah blah blah... well its easy to say that when you don't look like a monster!!! i just want... ugh i just want to feel normal if even for a little while i just absolutely hate my body :(
I hate my post-pregnancy body
Posted 03/11/2013
I know how you feel! My son didnt completely destroy my body but I got my fair share of stretch marks that haunt me every once in awhile. Have you tried working out again? Its said that if you work out it will tighten you up again and therefor less stretch marks will show. They also fade with time as long as this is your last baby. As for me, im 5 months pregnant and already getting more stretch marks below my belly button :( it makes me want to cry and I hate it. But this is our last so once the baby comes im heading to the gym to get into shape and reclaim my stomach back. Although I know its going to look all stretched out and with added stretch marks ive come to terms with it and the whole changing body with pregnancy thing. Just know your not the only one. I feel like ive been scarred for life.

Yes I work out. I do yoga and cardio, which is why the weight doesn't so much bother me because I know eventually it will come off. But these stupid stretch marks will never go away. I don't know how to come to terms with that fact... working on it though, yesterday was just an especially rough day. Feeling a little better hearing I'm not the only one really helped. Thanks.
Posted 03/12/2013
I'm in your shoes with you.. I was 125 pounds before becoming pregnant.. and when I had cooper I was 187 pounds.. right after I had him I dropped a shit ton of weight.. then all of a sudden bam my weight was back and I'm at 160 pounds and can't get below.. I eat healthy as can be.. I finally am coming to terms with if I don't do anything I will stay this way... So I started yesterday and decided this is my body.. mine... Only I CAN CHANGE IT!!! I am going to start 30 day shred. And my weight watchers again.. because during the holidays I lost a lot and stopped because its the holidays who wants to not eat home cooked meals and the sweets.. I bought hand weights. I still have my exercise ball and a yoga mat.. ill do as much as I can to make myself look better.. I hate being naked infront of Dan.. so we barely have any sex or anything physical because he like to rub my tummy.. and I get all grossed out and turn around and can't even cuddle with my boyfriend.. the father of my almost year old son.. not because he thinks I look terrible or I turn him off.. its all in my head.. he thinks I'm beautiful the way I am.. and tells me this when I'm down which is a lot.. so stand tall.. take a look at yourself in the mirror and say look this is not the way I look at myself.. I will take back my body.. u will see.. start little. Change ur diet.. take pills.. I'd ur a diet pill taker. I'm not.. drink a lot of water.. exercise at least 4 out of the 7 days in a week.. and eat healthy.. that's really all u can do.. baby steps.. and summer is still far enough away that u can still make that bathing suit ready body.. even if its a sexy one piece to cover up the stretch marks.. who cares.. once u feel like u have over come this big hurdle.. maybe by the time summer comes ur body will have tightened up and some of them will fade.. but u won't know till u try..
Wow I just talked myself into more motivation while talking to u.. let's do this together.. with each other and everyone else wanting to get back their body.. we can all help each other.. I'm willing to give out my number to u and email to u and we can share our progress and maybe recipes we are using to stay on track.. anyone can PAN me and ill share...
Good luck momma.. its time to get our butts up and starting this thing..

I am 40 years old. Almost 41. I had my first girl when i was 20 . I have had the same issues with my body . I started working out. Because I don't like who this stranger is in the mirror anymore when I look at myself. I was very tiny at 80 lbs and at 5' 2 before kids. I know real tiny but got pregnant at 19 years old. My first child my tummy looked flat but lots of stretch marks. The hips ...legs.. love handles ..arms and more areas and butt took a beating too. Oh lets not forget the boobs lol ... any way. My first was a 7 lb baby. She didn't wreak havoc on the body as much as my 9 lbs 2 oz girl did. She stretched me to kindom come and back. My girls are 20 and 16 right now. I am still struggling. I started working and got lazy in my working out regime. I am 130 lbs now. Ya it doesn't sound like I am toooo big. But I have extra tummy and thighs. That drive me batty. Boobs could use a much needed lift. I have started cutting back on the Pepsi that I am addicted to. And high sugar foods. Drinking plain water as much as I can. Start off slow. Go for an hour walk every day . 7 days a week. Rain or shine or snow. I am now up to 3 walks a day now. Try going for a jog around the high school track. This may take a couple of weeks to get to . But start off every day 1 walk in the morning. Let me tell you it sucks. But trying is better then the self destructing phase I was putting myself and family through. About me complaining about this part or that part of my body areas I hate. Good luck . Ou minds go through a whole lot of wreaking ball ideas on how we see ourselves. Or how we think others see us. Take baby steps. And soon you will get your mind body and life back on track
But stick with it Chickie. We are all dealing with these issues. Your self esteem will take off as soon as you start working out. Best of luck. As for stretch marks . Think of them as ....they will fade . And its a reminder of our love and hard work of bringing our precious children into the world.

Very disappointing. The key word in the title is simple. If you have never stamped before then this is the magazine is for you. Some of the cards are really ugly. Wish I had saved my money and used it on stamping products. Buyer beware.

As Libyans prepare to mark the one-year anniversary of the Western-backed uprising that ultimately toppled the regime of despot Muammar Gadhafi, human-rights monitors say hundreds of "out of control" militia groups are still engaged in mass savagery — raping and torturing people to death in makeshift prison camps, ethnically cleansing parts of the country, and more.
While the purported reforms brought on by last year's "Arab Spring" appeared to be floundering in Egypt, the Obama administration is preparing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to advance those same reforms throughout the Islamic world.
An armed uprising in Libya is imminent as people in the oil-rich North African nation continue to reject the new NATO-backed regime, one of slain Libyan despot Muammar Gadhafi's sons told an Arabic TV station on Friday from neighboring Niger. Libya's new rulers dismissed the statements and threatened the "interests" of the government of Niger if it did not hand over Saadi Gadhafi (left) for prosecution.
Egypt's purportedly 'transitional' government — upheld throughout the past year as the example of the "Arab Spring" movement that was destined to bring Western-style democracy to the Muslim world — is proving its inability to live up to the hype. While many warning signs have been in evidence since the emergence of the anti-Mubarak revolution — including a dramatic increase in anti-Christian persecution — many such omens have received little attention in the American media. Now, however, with the Obama administration threatening to cut the $1.3 billion in military aid that the U.S. doles out annually to the Egyptian regime, that nation's "democratic" experiment is being examined once again.
The relationship between the U.S. government and the Egyptian regime is coming under increasing pressure as authorities in Egypt shut down American tax-funded "democracy" groups in Cairo while pursuing reforms that are unpopular with the Obama administration and critics in Congress. Meanwhile, within Egypt, tensions between rival interests are also escalating.

The bare corner of Evergreen and Main Streets will receive an artistic touch thanks to Dave Frei and Jennifer Corio, the husband-and-wife team of the local Cobalt Designworks. Their design was chosen out of 19 proposals submitted by artists to the city of Vancouver and the Vancouver Downtown Association. It will be the design studio's eighth public art sculpture.
"We're really excited. We've created a lot of sculptures, but to create one for own town and community, it's an honor," Corio said. "But it's also more challenging and intimate. We know the people here, and we'll hear about it. You just want to do your best job."
While she didn't want to spoil the surprise of the new sculpture's appearance, she did drop a few hints on its inspiration.
"We use a lot of color in our art, and we love that because in the Pacific Northwest, with its the gray and rainy weather, a little spot of color can cheer people up. It'll make people smile," she said.
Though Cobalt Designworks has a strong artistic aesthetic, much of its business comes from "functional art" or architectural elements such as custom railings, gates and even signs.
The process is a true team effort, with Corio doing the design work and Frei determining how to bring it to life. There's fine balance of art and technical design to engineering larger pieces, but Corio emphasized that the thought process is just as important.
Part of that process involves distilling the wants and ideas of the commissioner of the piece until Corio can create "a piece of art that's powerful and hits people in the heart."
The unveiling of Cobalt Designworks' sculpture is at 7 p.m. Friday, April 6, at Evergreen and Main Streets in downtown Vancouver.

Mom, daughter create horror-able cupcakes
Ever had a hankering for cupcakes flavored with fish eyeballs, cow tongue and blood sausage?
Baker Mindy Schleif, 49, of Camas was challenged with baking cupcakes with some of these stomach-churning ingredients when she recently appeared on a horror-themed episode of the Food Network's reality show "Cupcake Wars" with her daughter, Erin Clancy. Erin, 28, grew up learning to bake alongside her mother. Now, she owns Delicate Flour Cakery in Apple Valley, Calif.
The prize for the episode's winning team: $10,000 and a chance to serve their cupcakes at Hollywood's Screamfest, the largest horror film festival in the country.
In the first round, racing against a 45-minute clock and three other teams, Schleif and Clancy baked herb-infused cupcakes stuffed with blood sausage and topped with mashed potatoes and a cherry jalapeño jam glaze.
One of the judges said, "You took some risk with the blood sausage, and it worked."
Advancing to the second round, the 75-minute challenge was to create three horror-themed cupcakes. Inspired by "Snow White," their poison apple cupcake was an apple spice cupcake spiked with hard apple cider and topped with apple cinnamon frosting, then drizzled with a brandy-spiked candy-apple glaze and garnished with a sugar shard.
Although they did not advance to the final round, both mother and daughter savored the "Cupcake Wars" experience, including having their own dressing room and making five wardrobe changes.
Watch the entire "Cupcake Wars" episode by visiting http://youtube.com and typing "CW S4E12 Scream Fest" in the search field.

Akbar's Indian Restaurant: "Indian food on Al Rigga Road" Akbar's Indian Tip by SWFC_Fan
Akbar's Indian, Dubai: 1 reviews and 5 photos
I ate at Akbar's Indian Restaurant one lunchtime during my visit to Dubai in December 2006.
This small Indian restaurant is located midway along Al Rigga Road in the Deira region of the city. Apparently, there is also another branch on Sheikh Zayed Road.
The intimate dining area has the feel of some sort of Indian palace. The decor consists of lots of arches, with some intricate tiled patterns on the walls and water cascading down one of the walls.
My first impression of the restaurant wasn't great - as the waiter passed me a menu and opened it, a small cockroach-like bug fell out and ran along the floor. The waiter stamped on it. These things happen in the cleanest of restaurants, so no point in dwelling on it.
The menu consists of a large selection of Indian breads (roti, nan, garlic nan, butter nan, kulcha nan, tandoori roti....) and a reasonable selection of curries. You can choose from mild, hot or very hot curries containing either chicken, lamb, fish or prawns. Alas, my first choice, prawn curry, was not available on the day that I visited due to a lack of prawns!
The restaurant offers a good selection of vegetarian dishes, from vegetable curry to gobi aloo and a selection of eggplant, potato and lentil based dishes.
Favorite Dish: I opted for:
Masala Papad - Cost: 5 AED
I didn't know what this was when I ordered it, but it turned out to be a large poppadum topped with onions, chillis, tomato and coriander and served with a selection of dips and sauces.
Chicken biryani - Cost: 28 AED
A mixture of rice and chicken pieces served in a dish and topped with a layer of dough. When it was served, it looked like a pie. The waiter cut a hole in the dough topping to reveal the main part of the dish. It was served hot and the chicken was pretty good quality, but it was a little bland. In hindsight, I should have ordered something with a tasty sauce.
Butter nan - Cost: 3 AED
A large, extremely well cooked nan bread - cooked to the extent that it was mainly black!
Pista Kulfi - Cost: 12 AED
A small dish of homemade ice cream. A very creamy ice cream with pistachio nuts in.
2 cans of Pepsi - Cost: 3 AED per can
Decent quality food, reasonable choice and friendly staff. An impressive range of vegetarian options.
Address: Al Rigga Road, Deira
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: I ate at the Al Rigga Road branch in Deira. There is also apparently a branch on Sheikh Zayed Road.

I'm looking for new job in this position and/or occasional babysitter in this area where I live now.
I started working (on Dade County) for the care of a girl since she was 6 months old to 3 years and 6 months old. I resigned for personal reasons.
A week and a half later, I started a new job (in the city of Weston) with a young American couple to care for their first baby of 6 weeks old and they had two more children later on. I've been with them in their care and transporting to school and various activities after-school to date. I left them with great sadness due to a change of residence.
I love working with babies and children. I am a respectful, responsible, honest and an experienced driver. I have a degree in Business Management in my country of origin. I have references available when necessary.
Thank you.

Best bars in Europe?
What cities / towns in Europe have the best bars. Not nightclubs, but places to sit at a bar after a day of sightseeing and chat with strangers / bartenders? Or late afternoon pitstop for munchies and a beer. Just returned from Bologna and found some fun bars there. LOVE German beer halls and always meet interesting strangers. In Venice - we found one corner bar next to Rialto fish market run by some funny dude cranking music. Found fun places in Ghent ... but while I search out our next trip I am thinking about what cities are best for this. My husband and I dropped our son at the hotel in Milan at 9:30 and wandered out to find a place and found nothing - ended up at a cafe in front of the Duomo which was nice but I was surprised that on a Friday night there was no life around (though we may not have known where to look!). So - anyone have ideas? We are throwing around the idea of visiting Southern Italy, Greece, Croatia, Slovenia for our next trip and would love some feedback.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Police in Atlanta are trying to find the victim and witnesses in an attack in the Little Five Points neighborhood after video surfaced on social media.
Atlanta Police Department spokeswoman Kim Jones tells The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution no report was filed after the incident. Police want anyone who witnessed the attack to call them.
Media reports indicate a six-second video of the attack appeared Tuesday on video-sharing site Vine and a longer video is on YouTube.
A video clip shows a person arguing with two men outside a skate shop. Another shows a third man stomping on the person's head. The video doesn't show the person getting knocked down or the attacker approaching the group.
It's not clear when the attack happened.
Anyone with information is asked to call police.

Cupid why have you gone and abandoned me?
What I have done to make you hate me?
Why have you cursed me with bad luck?
And what can I do to break it?
Occasionally you have shown up
To match me with another
But after a certain amount of time
You decide to end your magic
Am I just a test subject?
For you to practice on
I've seen you match other people
While turning your back on me
You haven't been on my side in awhile
I'm starting to wonder why
Will I be alone forever?
Or do you have something special planned?
Through the countless pain and heart aches
I can feel myself become cynical
Casting away my feelings
I think I'm becoming a robot
I have lost my faith in love
And I don't know how to get it back
I'm asking you to save me cupid
Since you put me through this pain
Harden my heartHarden my Heart
Here I go once again
Being blinded to love's shining light
Even though I've bathed in this light for awhile
It appears to have flickered and left me in the dark
Once again I let a pretty face
To open my firmly shut heart
After I had let her inside
She attacked it from within
I only wonder why this happened
What caused me to lose again?
Is because I cared too much
Or was it because I was too careless?
So here I am feeling dead inside
Slowly picking up the pieces again
If there's one thing I have learned from this
I will now harden my heart before it's broken again

Psytechnics Experience Manager demo at VoiceCon
Psytechnics, a company that was spun out of British Telecom, has a cool product called Experience Manager. The product is one of the few I know of that can measure both QoS (quality of service) and QoE (quality of experience) for voice and video applications on the IP network. Many network management vendors are good at detecting jitter, packet loss, etc., for voice and video, but Psytechnics is able to measure how the end user is experiencing these services on an endpoint device.
Here is Tom Casey, a sales engineer with Psychtehnics, demonstrating the operational interface of Experience Manager, recorded last week at VoiceCon Orlando. Sorry for the jittery camera. I drank too much coffee.
The Polycom VVX 1500 business media phone at VoiceCon
I shot this video at VoiceCon Orlando last week. Tim Yankey, director of product marketing for Polycom, is doing a demo of the VWX 1500, which the vendor describes as a "business media phone." At a list price of $1099, this phone is meant to sit on the desks of high level executives. It has high quality video and touchscreen capabilities. And Polycom is touting the openness of the platform, encouraging third-party software developers to build light-weight business apps to run on the phone. Polycom doesn't claim this phone will replace the PC on the desk. Instead it claims the phone will be a compliment to the PC. The phone is certainly slick, but I wonder if it's worth the money. Couldn't you get a lot of the same functionality from a softphone? I guess a CEO might want something like this on his or her desk, but broad deployment of such an expensive phone might be hard to justify.
Please forgive the sideways angle at the beginning of this video. I've been using my iPhone too much. I'm used to a camera that's integrated into an accelerometer.
Nortel employees respond to VoiceCon coverage
Last week I wrote a story about a special VoiceCon session for Nortel customers, entitled "I'm a Nortel Customer. What do I do now?" It was one of the more widely read articles I've written for SearchUnifiedCommunications. Nortel customers are very passionate about the company. They love Nortel's products. But it's clear that many of them are disappointed in the leadership of the company. Now it's clear that some Nortel employees share that disappointment.
I've received emails from several Nortel employees since my story was published last week. Given that they are still working for the company, I've granted them anonymity. Their comments are below.
This first comment is a direct response to the news that Nortel canceled some severance payments to employees who were laid off before the company entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. A customer had asked Joel Hackney, president of Nortel's enterprise division, why customers should trust a company that reneges on such a commitment. Hackney responded by saying that Nortel had to meet its obligations to customers and suppliers before honoring its commitment to former employees. One Nortel employee had this to say:
I am truly perplexed no one asked how Mr. Hackney justified "reneging on its commitment to those former employees" while he, as one of eight executives, set themselves up with a $7.1M Key Executive Retention Package (KERP) while Nortel is in Chapter 11.
Another long-time Nortel employee wrote to me about her general disappointment in the company's leadership. She said her employment with Nortel will end later this year and she fears that her pension and retirement health benefits will be lost. She said she had high hopes for the company when it started mining General Electric's executive suite for new leaders in 2005, such as Hackney, Chief Procurement Officer Don McKenna and Executive Vice President for Corporate Operations Dennis Carey.
For 4 years these guys met short term targets by cutting costs which usually was done at the expense of shrinking the workforce. They persistently cut R&D which has always been the hallmark of Nortel's business philosophy.
I never saw a vision nor any leadership from this group. They came in saying that Nortel played in too many markets and yet never had the courage to cut away or sell business units in order to build upon a fewer number.
They persisted in paying themselves big bonuses and now at this late stage they are still using Nortel resources to ensure themselves a big piece of whatever assets are left via quarterly retention bonuses.
I was proud to work at Nortel. Too bad I didn't have the foresight to see what was coming. I might have been able to protect myself a little better.
VoiceCon 2009: Building success through innovation
The impact of today's global economic crisis has wrenched companies into shaping new business models merely to survive, much less thrive. But top-tier UC vendors at the recent spring VoiceCon 2009 show in Orlando are interpreting the recession (or depression) as a unique opportunity to change the old ways of doing things. The dawn of a new day. A time to rely on and trust in innovation to carry us through these dark days.
Tough times coupled with perpetual, driving need is the catalyst that has historically sparked prodigious ideas. And, as in the past, the tumultuous times we're now experiencing paired with our insatiable thirst for new technology will be the impetus to finding more efficient ways to do what, in otherwise good times, would keep us trekking down the same path, doing things the same way. The way to survive, more over, come out ahead of the competition, is to innovate now.
In every VoiceCon keynote presentation, a single theme threaded its way through — innovation. Kevin Kennedy, president and CEO of Avaya, kicked off the keynote sessions stressing the critical importance of innovation. According to Kennedy, innovation will help us navigate these uncertain times and emerge from these times of turmoil.
Gurdeep Singh Pall, corporate VP of unified communications with Microsoft, said in his keynote address that it's the choices companies make now that will determine their viability when we've moved beyond the current recession.
General manager of IBM, Bob Picciano, stated simply, "We can't afford to do things the way we did before."
Cisco's CTO, Padmasree Warrior, went further to say that ideas get stronger when we share them with others and social networks and collaboration are powerful in making connections stronger.
All of the keynote speakers offered sensible, reasonable reasons why companies should invest now in collaborative innovation in some capacity (irrespective of their financial status). Each presented their thoughts on the best ways in which to do so – respective to their agendas, of course.
Whether you innovate through social networking software, collaboration tools, UC technologies, CEBP, otherwise, or all of the above and more, a thoughtful strategy is imperative. Gurdeep Singh Pall rightly said that hope is not a strategy. If you want to keep your company afloat now and gain a healthy degree of competitive dominance in the future, in a sunnier financial climate, heed Pall's simple, but wise, advice:
• Focus on innovation
• Shift away from old models
• Lay down the foundation for the future
VoiceCon Microsoft keynote: Gurdeep Singh Pall throws desk phone in the trash
Microsoft corporate vice president for unified communications Gurdeep Singh Pall essentially threw the contemporary desk phone in the proverbial trashcan today during his VoiceCon keynote, arguing that software-based communications is the way of the future.
Pall compared the desk phone to the Brother word processor that started filling landfills across the country in the 1980s and 1990s. Pall was merciless, saying that too many telecom vendors are stuck in the past, still insisting that their customers need to buy a desk phone for every user. His disdain for the desk phone probably stings the ears of many of these same vendors who have partnered with Microsoft on OCS, but apparently Pall thinks everyone needs to hear his message, whether friend or foe.
"Folks, we cannot afford to do the things you did before," he said.
Pall admitted that some users still need a desk phone, but he said the softphone capabilities available from Microsoft's Office Communications Server and the Office Communicator client promise to make employees more flexible and productive. He said OCS is a single platform and a single infrastructure, not "five infrastructures with copious amount of duct tape around it."
Pall ended his address with a memorable image. He asked attendees to imagine that they've been given a $300-per-user budget to buy a device for the desktop. He held up two options: A typical desk phone, which he said would cost $300. And then a small notebook computer, which he said you could buy at Walmart for $300. Which one would you buy, he asked. Then he said, "It's time to get rid of the Brother word processor," and he tossed the desk phone aside.
VoiceCon keynote: Kraft Foods UC vision includes Avaya and the iPhone
Kraft Foods sounds like a fun place to work. During his keynote, Tom Behnke, manager of network services, global architecture and strategy for Kraft, gave VoiceCon attendees a glimpse of the future for information workers at his company. He offered details of a unified communications pilot program at Kraft's Chicago facility.
Behnke's pilot involves a rethinking of not only communications and collaboration technologies, but also the workspace. Kraft wants to change the collaboration culture among its employees. To do that, it did away with traditional cubicles and office, putting information workers at large work table, where they can sit side by side and face each other.
As far as technology, Behnke brought in Avaya to deliver its voice infrastructure. He also decided to go with a wireless office, so employees could move freely throughout their workspace, building a Cisco wireless LAN infrastructure that was designed by HP/EDS. And he engaged AT&T to come in and build an in-building cellular system so that he could deploy iPhones to every employee.
Behke said his goal was to change the user perception that he was providing them with technology widgets that they had to use. He was trying to create something that would focus on the individual user experience, that would help them the way they do there jobs.
One thing that really jumped out at me. He designed this new environment to be free of MAC addresses. If a user needs to move his work station, he can just get up and walk somewhere else. IT doesn't need to reassign the employee's phone and network profile to a new set of ports.
I've asked Avaya to give me a one-on-one conversation with Behnke is doing at Kraft. If they come through, I'll write more extensively about this project for www.SearchUnifiedCommunications.com.
Microsoft decides it shouldn't be in the video conference phone business
When Microsoft introduced its Roundtable phone 2007, it was pretty clear to me that they had a cool device on their hands. The phone has a ring of video cameras on a small turret. It is meant ti sit in a conference room, where it offers a 360-degree view of meeting participants. The phone uses directional technology to cut in real-time to whoever is speaking in a meeting.
The only aspect of the Roundtable phone that troubled me was Microsoft. It's a software company, not a hardware company. It does Windows and lets others build the PCs. It does Windows Mobile and lets others do the smartphone. And when Microsoft does venture into hardware, it tends to do it in the consumer market, and with mixed results (see Zune, XBox). So it wasn't clear to me why Microsoft was trying to get into this business.
Granted, the Roundtable integrates with Office Communications Server, but every phone equipment vendor under the sun is looking to integrate with OCS these days. Walk the exhibitor's hall at this year's VoiceCon and see that for yourself.
Apparently Microsoft agrees that it's not the ideal vendor for a product like Roundtable. It announced at VoiceCon this week that it is transferring the Roundtable phone to Polycom, which will become the sole distributor of the device. Polycom is re-branding Roundtable as the CX5000, which integrates it into Polycom's existing line of conference phone products. Microsoft will continue to manufacture the device, but as far as I can tell, this phone is now going to market as a Polycom product. Microsoft will continue to support customers who bought the device through it, but all subsequent support will be provided by Polycom.
According to Tim Yankey, director of voice product marketing at Polycom, said Microsoft will stop selling Roundtable on April 13 and hand over sales, marketing and distribution to Polycom. The sales price under Polycom will be $4300.
Although Microsoft will continue to manufacture the device, Yankey told me that Polycom has the right to make changes and additions to the phone in the future.
Polycom also announced at VoiceCon that it will begin offering 1080p and 720p resolution in its high definition telepresence systems. This is the broadcast quality video that competitors such as Tandberg and Cisco already offer in their telepresence systems.
VoiceCon Cisco Keynote: Cisco goes vertical
During her keynote this morning, Cisco CTO Padmasree Warrior emphasized the importance of collaboration in enterprise communications, with technologies that allow users to work in the way that they want to. In this vein, she talked about the importance of delivering a consistent user experience regardless of the endpoint device.
She also noted that her boss, CEO John Chambers, likes to communicate through video while her preferred modes of communication are microblogging services like Twitter. She said enterprise IT organizations should be prepared to support these multiple working styles by treating the network as a platform for delivering services. She noted said that companies should be focusing on Quality of Experience (QoE) in addition to Quality of Service (QoS).
Warrior and Cisco executive Sean Curtis demonstrated a vertical-market Telepresence system designed for healthcare, with cameras tailored for ear, nose and throat examination, blood pressure monitors, etc. Curtis showed how the technology could allow a doctor in China to treat him for back pain, even providing him with a recorded Telepresence session with instructions on how he should take an herbal remedy.
While this was happening, I noticed that IDC research director Abner Germanow was Twittering about how he is seeing a lot of healthcare applications from vendors on VoiceCon's showroom floor. Clearly vendors have identified healthcare as a vertical that will continue spending on communications technology in this economy.
Meanwhile, Abner's colleague at IDC, Nora Freedman Tweet on Cisco's demo captured perfectly what I was thinking about this healthcare Telepresence demo: "Keynote demo of health telepresence emphasizes need/relevancy of industry specific solutions."
VoiceCon Avaya keynote: SIP has come of age
Avaya's CEO Kevin Kennedy delivered the first keynote at this year's VoiceCon Orlando, and he took the opportunity to introduce Avaya Aura, a new SIP-based session manager that ties together all of the company's other technologies, including its IP PBX, its presence server, its messaging server, etc. Avaya also claims it will tie other vendor's technology into a single system.
Kennedy says SIP has come of age. Clearly Avaya is placing its faith in SIP's ability to take unified communications to the next level by allowing enterprise networks to focus on sessions rather than packets and giving users access to applications regardless of what network their on.
Kennedy and fellow Avaya executive Brett Shockley demonstrated a lab Facebook application, built on Aura, that would allow enterprise contact center to have video conferencing sessions directly with customers through Facebook. The customer service rep could see the customer's Facebook page, have context for what the customer is interested in, and conduct a transaction through Facebook. This was pretty cool. I saw a lot of positive buzz on Twitter during the keynote. I'll write more in depth on Aura later in the show on SearchUnifiedCommunications.com.
Telepresence will kill airline profits
I don't know how this escaped my attention last month but Gartner predicted that video telepresence will take away $3.5 billion in revenue from the airline industry by 2012. That's got to make executives at Delta and US Air wince.
As part of its top 10 predictions for 2009, Gartner predicted that telepresence would replace 2.1 million airline seats per year by 2012. In making this prediction, Gartner declined to estimate how much telepresence is costing airlines today.
Given how ruinous telepresence promises to be for the airline industry, I'm left wondering if the Deltas and US Airs of the world are investing in telepresence themselves. Will executives at airlines try to save money by holding high level meetings via telepresence, or will they stubbornly refuse to adopt this technology and continue to fly to on-site meetings in some symbolic effort to support the business.
Another interesting prediction from Gartner: By the end of 2013, 40% of enterprise knowledge workers will have abandoned or removed their desk phones. This certainly applies to me. I'd be happy to throw my desk phone in the trash if my employer agreed to subsidize part of the service plan for my iPhone. As it is, I work from home twice a week, and on those days my iPhone is my only means of telephony.

QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Welcome to Stateline.
I'm Quentin Dempster.
First -- pick and stick.
The public dissenters who helped raise the alarm about the ineffectiveness and incompetence of policing at heroin-ravaged Cabramatta in the late 1990s claim the NSW police force remains hopelessly corrupt.
Former detective sergeant Tim Priest and his Sydney University supporter anthropologist Dr Richard Basham made the claim this week after launching a book with the help of radio shock jock, Alan Jones.
In the book, 'To Protect and To Serve', the so-called "untold truth" about the NSW police service, Priest and Basham bag their police, political and media critics, including what they call "chardonnay sippers" at the ABC.
While the networks of influence in State politics, policing and media were on display at the launch, Stateline wanted to know if you put all the personal, political and media rivalries and back-biting aside, what's changed in policing?
ALAN JONES, RADIO BROADCASTER: It's a fairly important day, I think, because this is, apart, from anything else, a catalogue of the courage of two people, I think, in the face of fairly significant obstacles and adversity, which obstacles and adversity still remain.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Commercial radio broadcaster Alan Jones says there was no conspiracy behind his public support for police dissident Tim Priest when in 2001 Priest used parliamentary privilege in an upper house inquiry to tip a bucket on his police superiors at Cabramatta and headquarters.
Among many other things, they were characterised as ineffective and incompetent.
As the heroin trade street and gang crime terrorised the community, a police crime index declared leafy Roseville on Sydney's north shore safer than Cabramatta.
RICHARD BASHAM, CO-AUTHOR: One of the things I really want to do and it's very important is to thank Alan for taking on a difficult and costly cause, which made him some very influential enemies.
I myself, for example, have been asked to relay a number of threats back to him.
"Alan Jones had better watch himself, if he knows what's good for him," for example, threats of that sort delivered from very senior police.
TIM PRIEST, CO-AUTHOR: Alan Jones, you took on a cause that brought with it the knocks, the vilification and law suits and pressure that goes with standing up for what you believe.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Alan Jones, who once famously said he operated by 'pick and stick' -- picking and sticking with his political friends and sponsors and supporters -- said he'd run with the claims of Tim Priest and Sydney University anthropologist Dr Richard Basham after a personal approach from Tim's father, the RSL leader and war veteran Rusty Priest and a flood of correspondence from rank and file police.
Immediately after the Howard Government was returned in November 2001, the Carr State Labor Government buckled under Alan Jones's pressure and the increasing fear of crime it and other events, such as gang rapes, produced.
Paul Whelan was replaced as Police Minister by Michael Costa.
The move and Costa's subsequent actions and statements undermined imported police commissioner Peter Ryan, leading to his payout departure in April 2002.
This happened soon after the Police Integrity Commission had publicly released northern beaches surveillance tapes showing, five years after the Wood Royal Commission, police drug corruption remained entrenched.
That's all history now, but as you will soon hear, whatever the power play in media and politics, then and now, has anything really changed?
ROSS TREVAUD CABRAMATTA COMMUNITY LEADER: Well, it's been a very long journey over the last half a dozen years.
However, things haven't really changed that much in Cabramatta now.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Ross Trevaud was one of the original Cabramatta locals who complained that drug crime was out of control.
ROSS TREVAUD: We certainly had the impact of the heroin drought through 2001.
We saw a change in policing for a short period of time.
However, more recently, we've seen a return to the streets of not only Cabramatta, but all of south-west Sydney -- through Fairfield and Liverpool and Cabramatta once again we're seeing heroin being retailed on the streets.
Unfortunately, I've spent the last couple of days chasing drug dealers up and down the streets outside my business and many of the business people in Cabramatta are experiencing the scourge of the street dealers.
They're unhindered on the streets once again.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Significantly, Priest and Basham say that State defamation laws have prevented them from telling all they say they know.
TIM PRIEST: The defamation laws in this State don't allow for full and open disclosure and all the facts and truth, whatever it may be.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Well, what have you learnt, Tim, about what happened and having to reflect on it and actually sit down with Richard Basham and put it on paper?
TIM PRIEST: Well, it's a catharsis, as we were talking about before.
It also makes you reflect on the fact that telling the truth doesn't always mean you're right.
That you can be condemned, vilified, and the marshalling of forces by corrupt senior police far outweigh anything I could ever hope to bring to bear.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: You don't mean corrupt in the sense that they're on the take from the drug trade, do you?
What do you mean 'corrupt'?
TIM PRIEST: Well, committing continuously illegal acts like perjuring themselves before parliamentary committees, conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
That's corrupt.
RICHARD BASHAM: The police service has learned how to change just enough so it really doesn't have to change at all.
The trouble is we have much more of the appearance of change than the reality of change.
If what we say is true, and we're quite happy to have it challenged and investigated, particularly in a public arena before Parliament, or whatever, if what we say is true, the police service is still in very, very serious trouble.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Is the police service still corrupt, along the lines of what Tim Priest indicates that it is, as far as the political -- the rush for political power, the pressure for political power within the police force?
RICHARD BASHAM: Of course it is.
Unfortunately, of course it is.
We can give many instances, many instances we would have liked to have given.
The 75 pages that were cut out of the book by the two defamation law firms included some of this material.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: The valid thrust of Priest and Basham's book seems to be that absurd levels of managerialism within the NSW police in the Ryan era made the force ineffective as heroin crime boomed.
Ryan went, but what they don't say is that under Michael Costa, the Wood Royal Commission cultural reform agenda effectively has been abandoned.
Specialists squads were re-introduced, in spite of warnings about their easy corruptibility by organised crime and the drug trade.
And there's another point about media and power politics -- in the highly charged adversarial battle in the months before the State election last March, have the 'pick and stick' brigade -- Alan Jones, Tim Priest and Richard Basham -- cleverly been played off a political break by Bob Carr and his Labor Party machine?
Cabramatta Labor MP Reba Meagher publicly said sorry to Priest.
At the election Ms Meagher increased her primary vote by 17 per cent while Ross Trevaud, running as an Independent, scored just 10 per cent, mainly at the expense of the Liberal Party.
Reba Meagher is now a minister in the Carr cabinet.
And so after all the politics, Basham and Priest still assert that nothing has really changed.
TIM PRIEST: We might have to have, God forbid, another royal commission, or at least a really wide-ranging inquiry into promotions, into all facets of police service.
This police service has to be rebuilt from the ground up.
It will take a generation to fix.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: There's a footnote.
At the book launch, Stateline discerned there was a new agenda from the 'pick and stickers' -- they've picked Michael Costa as the next premier of NSW.

Résumé :
DCS Christopher Foyle investigates wartime crimes in the English coastal town of Hastings. With the end of World War II slowly but inevitably approaching, Foyle and his fellow citizens learn the price of victory and face a peace that will transform their lives in unexpected ways. Plan of attack: April 1944. DS Milner's investigation of a transportation fraud sets in motion a series of events that brings Foyle back to the force. As Hastings hosts an ecumenical conference on the morality of continued Allied bombing, Foyle probes the suspicious death of a young cartographer from the Air Ministry office. Broken souls: October 1944. At a psychiatric clinic treating troubled soldiers, the investigation of a doctor's murder turns up no shortage of suspects among the patients and staff. It also complicates Foyle's friendship with Dr. Josef Novak, the Polish refugee who heads the clinic. All clear: May 1945. As all of Britain awaits the formal announcement of the war's end, Foyle reluctantly joins a committee preparing to keep public order during the celebration to come. But the end comes too soon for two men-- one a stabbing victim, the other an apparent suicide.

Tag: "winter storm"
Winter Storm Watch Issued
**Brian Peters will be along with the regular morning discussion and Weather Xtreme video shortly**
ENJOY TODAY: We expect a sunny sky today with a high around 60 degrees… but much colder air blows in here tomorrow, and things go downhill quickly after midnight Sunday night.
WINTER STORM WATCH: NWS offices in Huntsville and Birmingham have issued a winter storm watch for late Sunday night (after midnight) and Monday… this discussion will mainly involve "round one" of this winter storm which comes Monday.
TIMING: Wintry precipitation will begin over far Northwest Alabama around midnight tomorrow night; it will expand and cover much of North and Central Alabama by 3-5 a.m. Temperatures should creep above freezing at some point Monday afternoon with slow improvement, but expect very hazardous travel conditions between midnight tomorrow night and 3:00 p.m. Monday. However, icy travel could linger into Monday night for far North Alabama, mainly north of the Tennessee River.
ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL: We project 2-4 inches of snow for that part of Alabama north of a line from Vernon to Jasper to Oneonta to Gadsden. To the south, it will be mostly freezing rain and sleet, where ice accumulations to 0.3″ are possible. Remember, this is just a guideline; the precipitation type won't change exactly along these lines.
Some icy spots are possible as far south as U.S. 80 (Demopolis to Selma to Montgomery to Opelika), but it will be mostly rain for those communities, and points south.
IMPACT: Travel will be severely impacted, with bridges becoming ice covered quickly. With temperatures in the 20s early Monday morning, even black top roads can become ice covered and very dangerous. While major, widespread power outages are not expected for now, where ice does accumulate to 0.3″, some power outages are possible. Preparing for power outages is never a bad idea, in case a worst case scenario develops.
ALABAMA POWER IS READY, ARE YOU? Our friends at Alabama Power are monitoring the forecast closely, ready to deploy people and assets to quickly address any outages that might occur. Read a special message from Ike Piggot about their commitment to their customers.
WIND CHILL ADVISORY: We should also mention the NWS Huntsville has issued a wind chill advisory for tomorrow; wind chill values could drop below zero at times as the cold air rushes in.
CONFIDENCE: Our forecast confidence is relatively high for the events expected Monday.
IMPORTANT: Please read this post about winter weather forecasting. As you know, we have a limited skill set in dealing with winter storms in Alabama, and forecast changes are very possible as we get closer to the event. Be sure and check the blog often this weekend.
ROUND TWO: For now we expect just a cold rain Monday night, but there is a decent chance the rain changes to snow on Tuesday before it all ends.
This looks like a rather quick hitting event, but it could produce snow amounts of 1-2 inches during the day Tuesday, with accumulation possible as far south as a line from Eutaw to Centreville to Calera to Sylacauga to Roanoke. Confidence is lower in this forecast, and the exact impact remains uncertain. However, there is real chance it could impact travel Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday night, and possibly Wednesday morning across North and Central Alabama. We will be much more specific about this threat tomorrow.
Wednesday looks cold and dry.
Stay tuned for frequent updates throughout the weekend.
Snow Picture Awards
Looks I have over 4,000 pictures within the past 24 hours… here are some special ones I have selected tonight here in the old, lonely weather office…
BEST SNOW BURIED CAR… 8 inches of snow at Mentone, atop Lookout Mountain in DeKalb County…
Many Snow Reports
Snow is getting heavier… this shot below is from the Wellborn area (just west of Anniston)
This image below is from the Bagley community of north Jefferson County
And this image below is from Ross Bridge in Hoover…
Do Not Drive In West Alabama
Multiple wrecks across the western third of the state, including Tuscaloosa. This shot is from Skip Baumhower, just south of Tuscaloosa on I-59/20. This wreck just happened…
Below is a shot captured of the Hugh Thomas Bridge between Tuscaloosa and Northport with our SKYCAM.
Road conditions will deteriorate across the rest of the state in coming hours. Many reports of snow in Shelby County now, south of Birmingham.
Mid-Morning Update
See our live radar composite of the winter storm:
Most of what you see over Alabama is NOT reaching the ground; it is evaporating into the cold, dry air near the surface.
A few mid-morning notes…
*Generally speaking, the storm is developing as expected. There has been severe weather along the Texas Coast this morning, and dynamic forcing is excellent.
*SPC believes we will have thunder with the snow and ice tonight, especially south of I-20. But, I would image there could be some reports of thundersnow north of I-20 late tonight as well, but it will be isolated.
*The new 12Z NAM is printing 0.58″ liquid with this event for Birmingham. Equates to heavy snow for North Alabama, and potentially a crippling ice event for some parts of Central Alabama tonight.
*This is NOT in the same league as the 1993 blizzard. But, I do believe we will see isolated 8 inch snow amounts over North Alabama, and the ice over Central Alabama was not a part of the 1993 storm; that one was all snow.
*NWS Jackson reports a pretty good coating of sleet and glaze on elevated objects at the Jackson, MS airport.
Our projected forecast below is not, more than likely, going to change before the event begins. Remember, travel will become difficult, if not impossible, tonight across much of Alabama north of U.S. 84. The most significant precipitation will come after 6:00, with snow and freezing rain heavy at times after midnight. Stay tuned for updates throughout the day….
Major Snow/Ice Event Ahead
Here is an early morning look at the winter storm headed for Alabama; Brian will be along shortly with a fresh Weather Xtreme video….
See the forecast accumulation graphics from me, and the Birmingham NWS below…
Not much difference in the snow projection… the NWS is using 3-6″ for Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Anniston, and points north, while I am using 3-7″. The NWS Huntsville is using 4-7″ for their counties in North Alabama. I still strongly believe there will be some 8″ amounts in spots across high terrain of East and Northeast Alabama.
There will be a sharp cut-off of snow amounts south of I-20, where freezing rain will be more of a problem. Ice accumulation of 1/4 to 1/2 inch is very possible across this part of Central Alabama, and is very problematic. One-half inch of ice might sound like much, but it is enough to bring down trees and power lines, and make for widespread power outages that can last for more than 24 hours in places.
NOTE: There is little skill in determining the exact line between significant snow, and significant ice. This is the greatest challenge in this forecast. For now, the line most likely will be running a little south of Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, and Anniston, but nobody knows the exact placement at this point. Below that line is where a major ice event is likely and power outages will be an issue. Keep a close eye on updates today for adjustments to that potential snow/ice line.
The NWS has issued a winter storm warning for mostly snow for these counties: Blount, Calhoun, Cherokee, Clay, Cleburne, Etowah, Fayette, Jefferson, Lamar, Marion, Pickens, Randolph, Shelby, St. Clair, Talladega, Tuscaloosa, Walker, Winston, Franklin, Lincoln, Moore [TN] and Colbert, Cullman, De Kalb, Franklin, Jackson, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Marshall, and Morgan.
The NWS has issued an ice storm warning for mostly freezing rain for these counties: Autauga, Barbour, Bibb, Bullock, Chambers, Chilton, Coosa, Dallas, Elmore, Greene, Hale, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Marengo, Montgomery, Perry, Pike, Russell, Sumter, Tallapoosa.
WHEN? Precipitation is now falling over South Mississippi and extreme Southwest Alabama. More than likely, some of this is not reaching the ground, but the lower levels will saturate soon and all of this will be moving northeast. While we could see some freezing rain or snow this afternoon, the bulk of the precipitation will come from 6:00 tonight through 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. Snow and freezing rain could be heavy at times after midnight.
TRAVEL: Travel will become difficult, if not impossible, tonight and tomorrow morning due to snow and ice. Expect airport delays, and it is possible some airports will have to close for a while. In addition to Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport, this storm will also impact airports at Atlanta, Nashville, and Memphis.
POWER: In the ice storm warning zone, there could be power outages due to the weight of the ice on trees and power lines. A few scattered power outages are possible over North Alabama as well due to the snow, but it should not be a widespread problem there. Review the ice storm warning counties above to see the places in greatest danger of power outages.
DON'T FORGET: With every winter weather event in Alabama…
*Some will be delighted with the amount of snow they get, others will be severely disappointed
*There will be surprises as the event unfolds.
CHAT: You can join the live chat over on the uStream live radar page here.
Again… Brian will be along shortly with the morning weather xtreme video, and we will have running updates throughout the day.

The Carroll County School District has been recognized nationally for the second consecutive year for ranking among the top school districts in the 2012 Digital School Districts Survey.
The National School Boards Association announced April 13 at its conference in San Diego, Calif., that the Carroll County School District has received second place in the nation in the Small Student Population Category (fewer than 3,000 students). The district ranked fifth in the 2011 survey.
The Carroll County Area Technology Center Skills USA chapter won first place in the leadership event called "Community Service" for their project, "A Place to Sleep," in the 2013 SkillsUSA Conference and Skills Championship. The championship was held April 3 at the Galt House in Louisville.
The Kentucky National Guard sponsored and judged the event.
Nearly 5,000 students from across Kentucky competed in the Student Technology Leadership Program State Championship March 28 in Lexington. The students represented 400 schools and more than 100 school districts.
Students showed what they know and can do with technology in the arts, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and many marketable career skills by participating in more than 50 technology categories including student-designed projects, products, services and live demonstrations.
After standing on the sidelines supporting other athletes for most of the year, the Carroll County High School and Carroll County Middle School cheerleading squads both stood center stage in their own sport, performing in national competitions in March. The CCHS team won the JAMfest Nationals Series competition in Louisville in the intermediate co-ed varsity division on March 23-24. The CCMS team earned second runner-up in the junior high/middle school division among scholastic and recreational squads at the Cheer Limited Nationals at Myrtle Beach, S.C., on March 15-17.
What is your favorite thing about school and why?
"I like first thing in the morning when we work on our board work and then get a chance to get on the Compass program or talk with my friends."
What is your favorite subject and why?
"My favorite subject was science, but now it is math."
What was the last book you read?
"The last book I read was 'The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood.'"

"During batting practice, when I met with Shane today, he said, 'Yeah, put me in there. I'll find a way to get ready to start the game,'" Farrell said. "As we went through the other work, it became obvious he wasn't capable. And you know what? It turns out that his replacement is the difference in this one tonight."
Gomes had been 0 for 9 in the Series before the home run, and Red Sox outfielders had been 4 for 40 with no RBIs. Following Dustin Pedroia's two-out single and a four-pitch walk to Ortiz by Lynn, Maness threw five straight sinkers to Gomes, who sent the last one into the Red Sox bullpen in left as Matt Holliday kept running back only to run out of room.
"It was right down the middle," Maness said. "That's baseball, it happens."
Carpenter singled in a run in the seventh off Craig Breslow after pinch-hitter Shane Robinson doubled with two outs against Doubront on a ball that skidded away from Gomes. Junichi Tazawa came in and got Holliday to hit an inning-ending grounder to second, a night after allowing a tiebreaking, two-run double to Holliday.
Doubront got the win with 2 2-3 innings of one-hit relief. Lackey, the Game 2 loser and Boston's probable Game 6 starter, pitched the eighth for his first relief appearance in nine years, overcoming a two-base throwing error by third baseman Xander Bogaerts — Boston's seventh error of the Series — and a wild pitch.
With a runner on third, Lackey got Jon Jay to pop up and David Freese to ground out.
Uehara, Boston's sixth pitcher, got three outs for his sixth save this postseason, completing a six-hitter.
Lynn was the hard-luck loser, leaving with the score tied and two on for Maness, who allowed Gomes' homer on his fifth pitch.
It was a special anniversary for both teams. Exactly nine years earlier, the Red Sox completed a four-game sweep of the Cardinals across the street at old Busch Stadium for their first championship since 1918. And two years earlier, Freese hit a tying, two-run, two-out triple in the ninth against Texas and a winning homer in the 11th to force a Game 7, which St. Louis won the following night.
Buchholz, in his first appearance since the AL championship series finale on Oct. 19, fought through shoulder issues and his velocity topped out at 90 mph. He lasted a season-low four innings and 66 pitches before he was lifted for a pinch-hitter, but he allowed just an unearned run and three hits.
"We have guys with heart. Clay, he brought everything he's got," Ortiz said. "I have never seen Clay throwing an 88 mph fastball."
Fielding for the Red Sox became trouble again in the third when Carpenter singled to center with one out, and the ball appeared to take a high hop and roll away from Ellsbury. Carpenter sprinted to second on the second error of the Series by Ellsbury — who had just three during the regular season.
Beltran singled into center field two pitches later, making him 8 for 10 with 12 RBIs with runners in scoring position during the postseason.
There almost was another miscue in the fourth following a one-out walk to Jay. Freese bounced to Drew, and the shortstop grabbed the grounder on the run and flipped the ball with his glove high to Pedroia at second. He jumped and just got his left foot down in time to force Jay, who slid into him hard.
After Ortiz's double to the right-center field wall in the fifth, Gomes fell behind 0-2 in the count and then worked out his walk. Lynn appeared to be too fine with his pitches as he walked rookie Bogaerts, loading the bases, and Drew lofted a fly to medium left near the foul line.
Holliday's one-hop throw home hit the sliding Ortiz in the back and bounced away. Lynn recovered to strike out David Ross and induce an inning-ending groundout from pinch-hitter Mike Carp.
NOTES: St. Louis had been 8-0 this postseason when scoring first. ... Molina extended his Series hitting streak to seven games. ... Holliday argued with plate umpire Paul Emmel after he was called out on strikes in the fifth, and Cardinals manager Mike Matheny came on the field to make sure his left fielder didn't get ejected.
