Virtualize SharePoint on VMware vSphere
VMware: Virtualizing SharePoint & Support
Microsoft describes the support policy for their products on virtual machines in KB Article 897615. This is relevant to VMware customers as follows:
Premier Support Customers
"For Microsoft customers with Premier-level support running non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software ... Microsoft will investigate potential issues with Microsoft software running together with non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software."
Microsoft's Premier Support customers can request support for any Microsoft product running on VMware. Issues are typically resolved quickly and efficiently. Microsoft can request assistance from VMware if this is required to resolve the issue.
While Microsoft reserves the right to request that issues be replicated either on physical hardware or on Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V, this is apparently an extremely infrequent scenario.
Other Microsoft Customers
Customers who don't have Premier Support from Microsoft are still covered by Microsoft support when they deploy Microsoft products on VMware. KB 897615 continues to state:
"Additionally, ... for vendors who have Server Virtualization Validation Program (SVVP) validated solutions, Microsoft will support server operating systems subject to the Microsoft Support Lifecycle policy for its customers who have support agreements when the operating system runs virtualized on non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software. This support will include coordinating with the vendor to jointly investigate support issues. As part of the investigation, Microsoft may still require the issue to be reproduced independently from the non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software. Where issues are confirmed to be unrelated to the non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software, Microsoft will support its software in a manner that is consistent with support provided when that software is not running together with non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software."
The SVVP program allows hypervisor vendors to certify their solutions with Microsoft. VMware certifies every major release and update of its products to their maximum architectural limits. This ensures that any VMware implementation falls within Microsoft's support guidelines.
The list of SVVP-certified products is included in Microsoft's Windows Server Catalog.
VMware Support Safety Net
Regardless of their support status with Microsoft, all VMware customers with a valid support contract are covered by the VMware Support Safety Net. VMware maintains a Premier Support Agreement with Microsoft, and has the option of escalating directly to Microsoft on behalf of a customer in order to ensure high-quality support. VMware will invoke this service at its sole option and discretion, and has found it to be highly effective in resolving extremely complex or difficult cases.
SharePoint Services Support
While support under SVVP is available to any Microsoft customer including per-call requests, the scope of support is narrower than that offered to Microsoft's Premier customers. The products that are included in SVVP support are listed in KB Article 957006.
The complete portfolio of SharePoint 2007 products is supported under SVVP:
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and Windows SharePoint Services
"Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Service Pack 1 and later versions are supported. Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 1 and later versions are supported."
SQL Server Support
Since SQL Server is also a key component of a SharePoint deployment, the support policy for SQL Server may be of interest. Both SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008 are supported as defined in KB Article 956893:
"Microsoft provides technical support for SQL Server 2005 and for SQL Server 2008 that are running in the following hardware virtualization environments:
- Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V
- Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008
- Configurations that are certified through the Server Virtualization Validation Program (SVVP)"
Microsoft has also made an important change to its policy for support of SQL Server in Windows Clusters. This ensures that any VMware vSphere / ESX 4.0 customer will be supported when running SQL Server in a failover cluster configuration:
"Guest Failover Clustering is supported for SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008 in a virtual machine for Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008, and SVVP certified configurations provided both of the following requirements are met:
- The Operating System running in the virtual machine ("Guest Operating System") is Windows Server 2008 or higher
- The virtualization environment meets the requirements of Windows 2008 Failover Clusters"

Guitarist Joe Bonamassa is a charismatic blues-rock star and singer-songwriter of stylistic depth and emotional resonance. A child prodigy, Bonamassa caught B.B. King's ear at the age of 10. After hearing him play for the first time, King said: "This kid's potential is unbelievable. He hasn't even begun to scratch the surface. He's one of a kind." By age 12, Bonamassa was opening shows for the blues icon and went on to tour with artists such as Buddy Guy, Foreigner, Robert Cray, Stephen Stills, Joe Cocker and Gregg Allman. Bonamassa's recording career began in the early '90s with Bloodline, a hard-charging blues-rock group also featuring Robby Krieger's son, Waylon, and Miles Davis' son Erin. His 2000 solo debut, A New Day Yesterday, was produced by 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Tom Dowd.
He was named Billboard's Number One Blues Artist in 2010 based on the charting success of Black Rock, the Number Two Billboard Blues Album of 2010, and 2009's Ballad of John Henry, which was Number Nine. In June 2010, he played the main stage at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago and in October of the same year he released Joe Bonamassa: Live At The Royal Albert Hall, a live CD of his 2009 performance at London's Royal Albert Hall. Bonamassa's style has breathed new life and excitement back into the guitar as legions of fans embrace guitar-based rock music. [Photo by Christine Goodwin]
In this interview with the Rock Hall, Bonamassa shares his impressions of 2012 American Music Masters honoree Chuck Berry. Bonamassa will perform live at the 2012 American Music Masters tribute concert honoring Chuck Berry in Cleveland on Saturday, October 27.
Rock Hall: When did you first hear Chuck Berry's music and did it immediately resonate with you?
Joe Bonamassa: I first heard Chuck Berry – or of Chuck Berry – by watching Back to the Future as a 6-year-old kid. My dad explained that the person they were referencing was Chuck Berry. Shortly after that, I saw Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll, and I was hooked. I think Chuck Berry is a master songwriter, especially lyrically.
RH: What about Berry's music first captivated you: lyrics, guitar, rhythm – all of the above?
JB: D – all of the above. He is a master lyricist and the way he amped up all those T-Bone Walker riffs, made it his own and created a style is something quite extraordinary.
RH: Do you have a favorite Berry song?
JB: I love his bluesier material. "Wee Wee Hours" – that's my personal favorite.
RH: How has Berry influenced you as a performer? As a guitarist? As a songwriter?
JB: Every guitarist who decides to get serious about playing has to go through the Chuck Berry school to get where they want to be eventually. Chuck is a showman and entertainer as well as being a master musician. Nobody who steps onstage with a guitar can say that they haven't borrowed something from Chuck Berry.
RH: How would you describe Berry's music to somebody who'd never heard it?
JB: I would describe it as deceptively simple until you try to learn it. That's when the work really begins, and you realize how deep and complex it really is.
RH: Where would rock and roll be without Chuck Berry?
JB: What would popular music be without Chuck Berry? It's like saying what would a car be without an engine. Someone should teach Justin Bieber the duckwalk... Then he'll really be going places.

I wanted the dresser too but it seemed a little small according to the dimensions listed online. I wanted to see it in person but none of the locations in my area had a floor model. This meant I'd have to order it and pay the special handling fee on top of the shipping fee. I felt like it was a little pricey for the size. I checked the website weekly and was very excited when the price was reduced by more than 50%. This took care of the shipping and handling and then some so I decided to go ahead and purchase it. When I placed my order I was told the dresser was on backorder for 2-3 weeks but it actually shipped and was delivered in 1 week. The size turned out to be just right. Not too big and not too small. It was very easy to assemble and is very sturdy. I love it! July 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Patty Great looking dresser - matches the Julian collection Love the Julian Collection! The bed is beautiful and you don't need a box spring because it has a built-in raised support. Nightstands are large and the drawers hold a lot. This dresser is great with lots of storage. I love the dark espresso finish. Would be great if a Julian desk and Julian Wide Dresser and Julian Media Cabinet were added to the collection. Note: I was never able to find the dresser in a store - so just ordered it on-line. I am happy I did! :) July 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by DefectiveDressers These dressers came in defective Lovely dressers. They both came in defective "BOTH". I've had issues with every single piece of furniture I've bought from world market. Every time I want to buy something else, I hesitate because of my previous luck. November 6, 2013

Is 2011 the year the Miami Dolphins draft a first-round quarterback?
Interesting look this morning on The Fifth Down, the New York Times' NFL blog, at the Miami Dolphins' quarterback woes in the post-Dan Marino era.
Despite the fact Chad Henne just became the fourth QB in franchise history to pass for 3,000 yards — joining Dan Marino (13 times), Jay Fiedler (2001) and Chad Pennington (2008) — the Dolphins seem likely to be in the market for another quarterback next spring, whether through trade, free agency or the draft (where their current drafting position is no higher than 16th).
If it's the draft, as the Times' blog post points out, the Dolphins would be bucking their own history should they invest a first-round pick at the game's most important position. That's something no Dolphins regime has done since 1983, when Marino fell out of the sky due to some baseless pre-draft rumors.
Per Luis DeLoureiro of NFLStatAnalysis.net, even when you condense that period back to 1998, the Dolphins are one of just seven franchises that can make that claim. The others are the Chiefs, Cowboys, Patriots, Saints, Panthers and Seahawks, although the Seahawks used a first-round pick to acquire Matt Hasselbeck.
This blog also takes another in-depth look at the sorry history of second-round quarterbacks, a card the Dolphins played three straight years with John Beck (2007), Henne (2008) and Pat White (2009), while also burning a second-rounder to acquire Daunte Culpepper in 2006.
According to DeLoureiro, in the past two decades 22 QBs have been taken in the second round. Of those, he counts only Kordell Stewart and Jake Plummer as those who became starters for their drafting club for any length of time.
I would include Drew Brees on that list. Taken with the first pick of the second round in 2001, Brees made 58 starts for the Chargers before moving on to the Saints (instead of the Dolphins, sorry) due to the presence of Philip Rivers.
Brett Favre (1991) also had a nice little career once he got himself traded out of Atlanta.
Among the biggest misses in Round 2: Beck, Browning Nagle, Tony Sacca, Matt Blundin, Todd Collins, Tony Banks, Charlie Batch, Shaun King, Quincy Carter, Marques Tuiasosopo, Kellen Clemens, Drew Stanton and Brian Brohm.
The jury is still out on Kevin Kolb, Tarvaris Jackson and Jimmy Clausen.
OK, so maybe it's not so bad the Dolphins currently lack a second-round pick in 2011, having spent that as part of the package to acquire Brandon Marshall last April.
In the meantime, I'm looking forward to watching Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert (video above) tonight against Iowa in the Insight Bowl. Gabbert, a junior expected to be in the draft, is 6-5, 235 and has a rocket arm, but as the clip from last year's game against Nevada shows, he also has his share of "location issues."
Who's on your QB watch list for the middle of the first round? Or do you fear all the best ones will be gone in the first dozen picks?

Reviews for Pumpkin Patch Torte
"I made this for the Halloween dessert contest at work and my co-workers loved it, received "Tastiest" dessert award."
"My family totally loved this cake. I took pictures of my daughter and I through out the process and we had so much fun all the way through the last bite. It turned out looking just like the picture and we have only had 1 pumpkin slide off the top otherwise we had peaks and valleys for 2 days. It's definitely more than 12 servings we actually got about 28 out of it as we shared with friends and we are a family of 6 and had some 2 days in a row. Thank you Taste of Home Test Kitchen. This is a winner according to my family."
"You should freeze the cake and use cream cheese frosting."
"Frustrating...could not get the egg white mixture to have stiff peaks. Could be the weather (?) or that I didn't have a candy thermometer. Made it a cake in a 9 x 13 dish. More trouble to make than it was worth."
"The cake had great flavor but I didn't love the maple frosting."

12:21 PM, April 12, 2011 ι [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Carmelo Anthony spilled blood on the Garden court in his first match vs. Boston as a member of the Knicks. And he's expecting nothing less when the Knicks and Celtics resume their longstanding rivalry – expected to start Sunday in Game 1 in Beantown.
"Brutal battles, man.'' said the Brooklyn-born Anthony, reflecting on the Celtics-Knicks history. "Wars. It's going to be a very intense, high-energy series. They got something to prove. We have something to prove. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a battle. It's going to be crazy. We just have to keep our composure. It's going to be a very physical series. That's the way they play.''
The Celtics, with a distinct size advantage, own a 3-0 edge in the season series and beat the Knicks 96-86 in their lone meeting since the trade by finishing on a 13-0 run on March 21. Anthony received five stitches above the eye from a Rajon Rondo fourth-quarter elbow.
Anthony probably would have preferred Miami and a chance to go at LeBron James, whom he's fared well against since high school. Asked for his prediction against the Celtics, Anthony said, "I'm not Nostradamus. I don't make predictions.''
But Anthony added, "I'm excited about it. We look forward to it. We have to start fine-tuning some things for that series. Their team has been together for a long time. They know what it takes to get there. It's a lot of (our) guys first time in the playoffs. We want to prepare ourselves for everything.''
The Knicks have won seven straight and are starting to jell.
"I always felt confident, even when I first got here,'' said Anthony, whose seen the club recover from a 1-9 stretch. "It just so happens it's clicking right now for us, to win seven straight going down the stretch into the playoffs. It's a big momentum swing and confidence booster for us.''
The Celtics have floundered since the Kendrick Perkins trade, and are 9-11 in their past 20. They also have been ripped in the Boston media for sitting their top studs Monday night in Washington, seemingly forfeiting a chance for the second seed. The 95-94 overtime loss to the Wizards sealed the Celtics as the No. 3 seed.
D'Antoni does not think they were doing it so they can get the Knicks. In fact, a source said they had been told the Celtics coaching staff preferred a series with the seventh-seeded Sixers.
"They were probably thinking Miami would lose,'' D'Antoni said.
Asked if the Knicks should be viewed as a dangerous first-round opponent, D'Antoni said, "We can be that. I have enough talent on the team.''
Chauncey Billups, who has a rough matchup with Rajon Rondo, said, "We got our hands full.''

In 2005 there were about 50 winemakers in Colorado; now there are more than 100 producing wines from grapes primarily grown in the area around Palisade and Grand Junction, known as the Grand Valley. And compared to Utah, they get a lot more support from state government. When the Colorado general assembly created the Colorado Wine Industry Development Board in 1990 to support and promote the growth of the industry, there were just five wineries. One penny from the sale of every liter of wine goes to the board, which uses the money for promotion and education.
Still, Colorado's wine business faces several hurdles. First is the size of the existing vineyards.
"Most of Colorado wineries are small operations so their production levels are still quite small," says Brooke Webb of the Colorado Association of Viniculture and Enology (CAVE). But now, especially in the Palisade area, peaches are more profitable than wine so it's hard to justify planting grapes.
"Colorado has an excellent climate for growing vinifera," says Jacob Harkins, editor of localwinos.com, a web site devoted to critique and reviewing Colorado wines. He hopes vintners will collaborate more and focus on a grape, like Oregon did with pinot noir and California did with chardonnay. But with active groups like CAVE and support from the state level, many believe Colorado is on its way to national recognition as a state known for serious, complex wines.

This candy bar is one that always made me chuckle when I heard of it. Really, does one need the suggestion to eat more? Pul-eeze. I am already plenty talented in that department. A sweet friend of mine sent one to me from Canada, since that's Eat-More's preferred habitat.
There is little known about Eat-More's origins. Only a little blurb on the website tells us that it's now owned by Hershey, and that they acquired it from Nestle who bought it from Lowney. This candy bar has certainly been around the block.
The Eat-More is described as "Dark Toffee Peanut Chew", which depending on where you are in the world can mean different things. I decided to not speculate too much ad just open the wrapper and find out for myself right away.
Firstly, Eat-More is a big, long bar. You smells the sweetness and the peanuts right away. It's slightly sticky to handle, but it's looks like a giant slab of darkened caramel generously studded with peanuts. I had expected it to be enrobed in chocolate from the description, but that's not the case. The chocolate must be mixed into the toffee base, which would explain its dark color.
The flavor is pleasing. It's main flavor is the roasted peanuts, complimented by the toffee which is sweet with subtle notes of cream and burnt sugar. The chew is soft and a tad crumbly, which I was surprised by. Thankfully though it's not so thick that I feel my molars are in danger.
Halfway though the bar I felt quite full. I guess this is where the "Eat-More" part comes in. Do I admit defeat or continue to finish? I opted for the former, and I couldn't help but wonder how the other half will do waiting to be eaten. It's pretty study, so I'm sure it'll be ok.
I still can't help but hear in my head: "Eat more? Well, don't mind if I do…."

Opinion: Former Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban will never return to the NFL
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Nick Saban's shiny new black Mercedes Benz was parked Thursday afternoon in its usual spot on the University of Alabama campus.
A few spaces away was ESPN's College GameDay bus parked just outside the pristine practice field hidden beyond a green fence.
Inside the front doors to Alabama's football complex, Crimson Tide players muscled through another weightlifting session beneath the fiery voice of strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran.
Saban's football factory continued to operate efficiently Thursday sculpting college football's elite into NFL prospects. It's one reason ESPN, and other national reporters, frequently buzz in and out of the football complex.
And it's why other college teams and NFL teams continue to gauge Saban's interest in pursuing something different.
On Thursday, ESPN's Mark Schlabach wrote more about overtures Saban received from two NFL and some college programs after the Crimson Tide won its 14th national championship in January, a 21-0 win over LSU. Saban, who coached the Miami Dolphins from 2005-06, recently told Alabama reporters after receiving a two-year contract extension he had received interest about other jobs, but would not specify what they were at the time.
"From my standpoint, the acceptance of this extension represents our commitment – my commitment, our family's commitment – to the University of Alabama for the rest of our career," Saban told reporters March 26. "We made that decision after the season when other people were interested."
I'm still in Alabama helping my family move to South Florida after the birth of my third son last week. And after a day on campus, and news Saban had been courted by NFL teams, I thought I'd offer some insight.
After two national championships in three seasons, Saban, 60, will never return to the NFL.
Why would he? After five seasons at Alabama and a resounding knockout of the Tigers in New Orleans, he's the king of college football and already a legend among Alabama fans.
The success begins with recruiting where Saban's Alabama classes have been consensus No. 1's for three straight years. New York Jets coach Rex Ryan told me in March 2011, then again in January, he will send his son to Alabama as a walk-on quarterback so he can learn how to coach.
ESPN analyst Cris Carter has a son, Duron Carter, at Alabama. And Joe Montana, Barry Sanders and Ken Griffey Jr. all looked at Alabama as potential destinations for their sons to play football.
In other words, the country's best athletes want the best for their children. That in itself helps Alabama's recruiting efforts.
Under Saban, Alabama running back Mark Ingram (now with the New Orleans Saints) became the first player in program history to win a Heisman Trophy.
Last year, running back Trent Richardson, was one of five Heisman Trophy finalists. Alabama also had four first-round draft picks for the first time. And this year, as many as five Alabama players are projected as potential first-round picks.
Many point to developmental success of Saban's pro-style approach on offense and defense, which he says helps better prepare players for the NFL. Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan told me in January at the Senior Bowl just exactly what Saban means by a pro-style system.
Not only are Alabama's players finding success at the collegiate level, but they are being groomed at a faster. Three of Alabama's four first-rounder from 2011 were underclassmen. This year, Richardson, defensive back Dre Kirkpatrick and linebacker Dont'a Hightower could all go in the first round. All three still had remaining eligibility.
Tangible evidence of quickly developing talent is why Alabama can lure the nation's elite with the promise for a faster path to the NFL. And that stockpile of talent is why Alabama has been so successful as of late.
Saban could likely replicate "The Process" at another university, but why? He has all of the resources, support and legacy he could possibly want in Tuscaloosa. And Alabama offers a rich history, and passionate fan base few competitors could emulate.
Saban already has a statue in front of Bryant-Denny Stadium alongside Alabama's four other national championship coaches.
Dare it be said Saban could be compared with Paul "Bear" Bryant at this stage? Bryant has six national championships to his credit – all at Alabama. Saban has three, his first one collected in 2003 at LSU.
Saban left the Tigers after the 2004 season to coach the Miami Dolphins. Many in South Florida have said Saban's simply another chapter in the franchise's breakdown since Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino retired after the 1999 season.
At Alabama, those Dolphins memories are nothing more than a bad scar. He's moved on. The only concern Saban has for the NFL is keeping company with good friends such as his mentor, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick. He also wants to keep rouge agents away from his players, and to continue producing NFL quality talent.
Saban's name will always be mentioned when it comes to NFL openings, especially if he continues to stand atop the college football world.
The problem with the NFL, at least from Saban's perspective, is the lack of control he enjoys on a university campus. The NFL has various policies set in place to grant access to reporters virtually on a daily basis during the season.
At Alabama, he's in complete control. That enables him to run a tight ship void of leaks, which could potentially damage a team and derail it from Saban's annual quest for a national championship.
Saban has plenty he can accomplish here in the next seven season before his contract expires, perhaps matching or even surpassing The Bear.
That in itself is plenty of motivation to keep Saban hungry for the next decade.

Fountains help you maintain a healthy pond
Controls the buildup of algae, sludge and weeds
Easily adjustable so you can vary the height of your water flow. The 1/2 HP motor will shoot water up 15-20 ft. with a cone pattern of 10-15 ft. from an 8" solid brass center nozzle. A lack of oxygen in the water can lead to dead fish, foul odors, algae growth and create stagnant vegetation. But a fountain actually adds oxygen to your pond. The simple motion of bubbling water controls the buildup of algae, sludge and weeds, without costly or dangerous chemicals, creating a healthier pond environment. To install, simply float the fountain to the middle of your pond and secure with nylon rope and concrete block or anchor (not included). Fountains feature environmentally friendly, oil-free motors which are constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel and are water cooled. Includes 70 ft. of 12-gauge submersible cable. UL listed. USA made.
NOTE: 5-year, unconditional warranty on motor.

Committing yourself to being green (or greener) sounds pretty simple in retrospect. Recycle more, waste less and use organic products — easy as apple-bought-from-your-local-farmer's-market, right? However, convincing your family (namely your kids) to follow in your footsteps can be a bit more challenging. After you explain the importance of being eco-friendly to your family, let them know that even the littlest things they do and changes they make every day can help lead to a cleaner, greener environment. I've found that even the simplest changes in regular everyday activities can help you and your family be green with success:
1. First, make sure there are adequate recycling bins in your home and that everyone in your family knows about which "stuff" goes in what bin. Make it easy for your kids and color-code the bins! Blue for paper, red for glass, green for plastic, for example.
Clean up after those frequent spills and messes the green way. Moms, shop for greener household cleaning products. Brands such as Simple Green and Method are great. Old-fashioned household remedies like vinegar, lemon and baking soda also do the trick! (Think of it as a fun science project for the kids!)
2. Bring your children to a local farmer's market and pick out plants to have in the house together. Literally green! Pretty plants help improve the flow of oxygen in your home. Substitute some of your kids' pre-packaged snacks to organic fruits/veggies. Shop local and take your family to a local farmer's market to pick out locally grown food. Plan a meal and cook together!
3. Clean out and organize your closets and pantries so you don't end up with duplicates and get more use out of what you have. Do you need really need six spatulas? Or how about those 10 pairs of jeans you have stacked in your closet? If you or your children have outgrown clothes, donate them to those in need. Gives true meaning to "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!"
4. When cleaning out and organizing your closets and cupboards, take a look at what you keep. Ask yourself: "Can I buy a greener alternative for this??" Believe it or not, there is most likely a greener alternative to almost everything in your home. Try Bamboo chopping blocks or 100 percent organic cotton sheets! Look at where and how the products you purchase are manufactured.
5. Purchase a container for e-waste. Teach your family not to dump old batteries in the trash and instead use the container. Once full, bring the container to a domestic recycling center.
6. Simple energy savers, such as purchasing light bulbs that are low-fluorescent and EnergyStar appliances are useful in conserving energy and save bundles of money at the end of the year. Perhaps you can use the extra savings to plan a fun outing with your family!
7. Thinking of home improvement? Ask your contractor/vendor what they do to be green. This goes for any service you or your family use – many businesses nowadays have green alternatives that you may not even know about! Ask away!
With these initial steps and group efforts, you will encourage your family to come together as a team and they may even find that it can be easy being green. Start the trend, and be the first "eco-family" on your block!

Secretary Basil L. Merenda and Deputy Commissioner Mark Vessella held a Business Licensing Board Roundtable discussion meeting in Harrisburg on Dec. 9. This was the second time the business licensing board chairs, administrators and division chiefs gathered for a joint meeting.
Secretary Merenda revived the joint roundtable meetings this year. They had been a regular occurrence in the past. The first health board meeting, held in July, proved to be very successful in raising issues that affected multiple health-related boards. The first business board meeting in September succeeded in bringing together a diverse group of professionals to discuss common issues and concerns.
During the December meeting, Secretary Merenda discussed the latest developments in the transition of administrations. Secretary Merenda and Department of State leaders have been meeting with the department's transition team to inform them of key issues and prepare the new administration to continue the department's good work. Secretary Merenda is pleased with the cooperative nature of the transition and anticipates a smooth process.
The meeting also featured Cal Shields, director of the Bureau of Enforcement and Investigation (BEI), who provided an in-depth overview of the bureau, its employees and processes. The bureau of 160 employees, many of whom are retired police officers, conducts investigations of licensees, primarily based on complaints. Investigations typically take four months to complete. Although the Philadelphia BEI office is the busiest, the Pittsburgh and Scranton offices also handle a great number of high profile cases.
Topics of group discussion included the use of paperless agendas, continuing education requirements and whether former board members could serve as expert witnesses in disciplinary cases. In addition, it was announced that the Council on Licensure, Enforcement and Regulation (CLEAR) 2011 Annual Educational Conference will be held in Pittsburgh from Sept. 8-10.
Secretary Merenda hopes that the department has reestablished a precedent for these board roundtable meetings for the next administration to continue. The group plans to reconvene in April.

Welcome to this Information and Library Services tutorial on using a database thesaurus. This tutorial takes about 4 minutes to review. In it, you will learn how to use a database thesaurus to optimize your searching by identifying relevant search terms.
Many library databases contain a thesaurus or list of subject terms. You can use a thesaurus to identify subject terms to use in your searching. This will help make your searching more precise and help generate ideas for your research. In this tutorial, you will see an example of using the thesaurus in a library sociology database, SocINDEX with Full Text. But you can apply the same techniques in any library database that has a thesaurus. Many library databases include a thesaurus or list of subject terms, including business, information technology, psychology, and other library databases. Here is how you can use a database thesaurus.
In the library sociology database SocINDEX with Full Text, click on Subject Terms: this is the database thesaurus.
In the Browse box, enter your research topic.
An alphabetical list of subject terms appears, beginning with your subject, term, domestic violence. The database uses the term family violence to index articles having to do with this topic. By using the term family violence in this database, you will make your searching as precise as possible.
The thesaurus displays a list of subject terms related to your topic: broader, narrower, and related terms. The list of subject terms may give you ideas for further searching. You can select one of the terms and have the database perform a search on it.
The subject term you selected appears in the search box. You are now ready to retrieve articles on the topic of sibling abuse. Another word for subject term is descriptor. That is why the abbreviation DE appears next to the subject term in the search box.
You can use the thesaurus's Explode option to search on many related terms at once. For example, you can explode the term victims of family violence.
Now you are ready to search on the term victims of family violence as well as several related subject terms.
To learn more about using library databases, please visit our Web site. A UMUC librarian is always available to help you through our Ask a Librarian service.

For further information on the M.B.A. program, contact the University of Oklahoma, Price College of Business Administration Graduate Office, Price Hall 1040, 1003 Asp Ave., Norman, Oklahoma 73019-4302, or e-mail email@example.com, website gradweb.ou.edu.
The dual degree in law and public health involves the Juris Doctor degree from the College of Law and the Master of Public Health from the College of Public Health. The objective of the program is to combine the 3-year JD and the 2-year MPH into four years of study. The program seeks to offer a thorough academic grounding in both law and public health while emphasizing increasing the convergence of these professional areas.
The JD degree requires a minimum of 90 hours, and the MPH requires a minimum of 44 hours. A dual-degree student will actually complete 80 hours of coursework at the law school, while also receiving credit for 10 hours of relevant coursework completed at the College of Public Health. Likewise, the College of Public Health will grant a dual-degree student 8 hours of course credit for relevant courses completed at the law school. All MPH-JD students must begin their studies at the law school for an entire year. After that year, the student may begin taking courses at the College of Public Health. Any elective courses will be chosen by the student with the approval of faculty from each college. As part of the required 44 MPH hours, a dual-degree student must satisfactorily complete both a Practicum in accordance with College policies and an examination covering the practicum and the student's coursework at the College of Public Health.
Students interested in the dual program must be accepted by both colleges. Both degrees will be awarded during the same academic season. Each college should be consulted for current requirements.

JURIS DOCTOR AND MASTER OF SCIENCE OR ARTS (J.D./M.S. or J.D./M.A.)
The College of Law permits students to pursue unique dual degree programs through other colleges of the University of Oklahoma. Applicants must be admitted separately to the graduate program on the Norman Campus. Students wishing to pursue such a program should contact the College of Law Office of Student Services early on in the application process to obtain a suggested course of action.
Juris Doctor and Master of Arts and International Studies (J.D./M.A.I.S.)
The joint J.D. and Master of Arts in International Studies is an accelerated program that exposes students interested in law to political, economic and cultural courses designed to enrich their future international law practice. Persons interested in pursuing the dual J.D./M.A.I.S program must make regular application for admission to be accepted by both the College of Law and the Graduate College. Applicants should apply to M.A.I.S. during the second semester of their first year of law school, by Feb. 15, to begin the following fall semester.
Nine hours of the elective credit will count toward both J.D. and M.A. requirements, allowing the opportunity to combine into four years of study both the three-year J.D. program offered by the College of Law and the two-year M.A.I.S offered by the College of International Studies.
For more information on the M.A.I.S., email firstname.lastname@example.com or call (405) 325-2337.
OU Law and the Department of Native American Studies have created an innovative interdisciplinary program of study that allows a student to earn both a J.D. and an M.A. in only three years, rather than the four years required for separate study. Through this concurrent program, graduates will be not only well-versed in law, but will achieve a broader understanding of its historical and social contexts, as well as the varieties of tribal experience, language, literature, and culture.

A Milford man stopped for speeding near Middletown on Friday was found with more than 1,100 bags of heroin, according to police.
Troopers stopped 24-year-old Andre Waters' Cadillac Deville on southbound Del. Route 1 near the Biddles Toll Plaza for speeding about 2 p.m., according to Delaware State Police spokesman Sgt. Paul Shavack.
A search of Water's car was conducted after a K-9 officer detected the presence of illegal drugs in the vehicle, he said.
Troopers reportedly found a plastic bag containing 90 "bundles" of heroin, totalling 29.5 grams, in the center console.
The heroin, which was packaged into 1,181 individual bags and stamped "Obama 2," carries an approximate street value of $12,000, Shavack said.
Troopers also seized $555 in suspected drug proceeds.
Waters is charged with possession of heroin in a Tier 5 quanitity, possession with intent to deliver heroin and speeding.
He is being held at the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution in Wilmington on a $60,001 cash bond, Shavack said.

Once our kids were grown, Glen and I liberated ourselves from the family silver and white damask and celebrated the national feast day in our "canned ham," a 1956 Shasta trailer. The original Princess oven and three burners are plenty of equipment to cook Thanksgiving for two, not counting the cat. Here's the almost traditional, but miniaturized, menu. Because we're camping, a lot of it involves advance prep, which is handy at home, too.
Romaine Heart with Grapefruit and Avocado
I wash and dry the romaine heart leaves at home and pack them in damp paper towels in a Ziploc. I section red grapefruit at home and pack it in a plastic container. I slice the avocado at the last minute and mix some olive oil into the remaining grapefruit juice with a few flakes of red chili for a dressing.
Roast Cornish Game Hen
The hens thaw on the drive to Zion or Arches or wherever.
Vegetable Sage Stuffing
Mix chopped onion, celery, squash and toasted bread cubes. Add chopped fresh sage, black pepper, thyme. Mix together and moisten with vegetable broth until you can almost squish a handful into a ball. I stuff the hens, then put the rest in a pan, cover it and bake until vegetables are cooked. Uncover and let brown.
Sweet Potato Cylinders
My favorite way to cook sweet potatoes, ever. Choose shapely ones, peel and cut crosswise into thick chunks (about 2 inches tall). Line a cookie sheet with foil, oil or butter it, and arrange the sweet potato cylinders on it. Bake at 350 or 400 until you can tell they're done. (If you squeeze them lightly, they'll be soft.) Serve them as is with a pat of butter, or cut a small X in the top of each one, insert a dab of brown sugar mixed with butter and allspice, or a mini-marshmallow, and return to the oven until the sweet stuff oozes.
Green Beans with Toasted Hazelnuts
Pre-toast the nuts. Blanch the beans, cool and store in a Ziploc. Before serving, heat butter until foamy and toss beans and nuts until hot.

|Lozano wins Lyle Pearson
MOSCOW, Idaho - Members of Idaho's men's and women's tennis teams had success competing in the Lyle Pearson Labor Day in Sun Valley, Idaho over the weekend.
Idaho sophomore Vicky Lozano won the women's singles draw, and also teamed up with Vandal freshman Sophie Vickers to win the doubles draw.
"Vicky obviously had a great tournament winning both the singles and doubles," Idaho women's tennis coach Dan Pollock said. "She seems very motivated this year, and her game style makes her a very dangerous opponent for anyone. I can't wait to see how her and the rest of the girls progress this semester, they're all very excited and raring to go."
It was an all-Vandal final in the women's doubles draw, as Molly Knox and Bety Flores advanced to the finals before falling to Lozano and Vickers. Knox also advanced to the semifinal in singles before falling to Lozano.
"It is great to see the girls out playing tournaments so early in the school year and looking to sharpen up their match-play, even before we start official practice," Pollock added.
On the men's side, Dmitri Perevoshchikov advanced to the singles semifinals, while Abid Akbar made it to the quarterfinals. A couple Vandal tandems squared off in the men's doubles semifinal as Perevoshchikov and Jose Bendeck teamed up to beat Akbar and Andrew Dobbs before falling in the finals.
"This was another opportunity for players to go out on their own and get some strong open competition," Idaho men's tennis coach Jeff Beaman said. "From the results posted, every guy down there played some quality matches. I was especially impressed with Abid going a close three sets with BSU's No. 1 player in the quarters and Dmitry making the semi's and playing a former All-American from BSU close."
Both Vandal teams will compete in the USTA Campus Showdown in Moscow on Sept. 9.

Fajans, 61, introduces me to Walsh, who, like all the other residents, puts in 40 hours a year doing work such as cleaning the common house,repairing paths and cutting back the property's wild blackberry bushes. "Outdoor tasks are actually fun," she says. "We have company." Walsh and her husband, Brandon Faloona, spent $235,000 to buy their 1,100-square-foot unit and an additional $80,000 to remodel it. They also pay about $280 a month in condo fees. The theory is that private homes don't need a lot of square footage, since members can also use the common house and yard. Puget Ridge residents—who range in age from two to eighty--something and include an architect, a bus driver, a teacher, a lawyer and an arborist—are encouraged, though not required, to attend monthly meetings to address whatever problems arise. The group uses a consensus model, in which every member must agree to proposed changes, so the process can be time consuming. But attendance is usually good: This is when members update one another about their lives. Also popular are the communal meals served at the common house at least twice a week. Participants pay $3.50 per meal and do a cooking or cleaning shift twice a month. Eating communally allows Walsh many evenings of fine dining in good company without having to lift a finger. "I can't imagine living any other way," she says.
Can I imagine living this way? When I head over to Fajans's house on my last day, a neighbor pops out to tell me she isn't home. Would I like a cold drink? Years of living among people who try not to butt into one another's private business make me suspicious of her invitation. I decline the offer politely and slink off, feeling decidedly uncommunal.
PugetRidge could pass for any leafy middle-income suburb, but the Sirius compound (siriuscommunity.org), with 31 residents, set on 90 hilly acres in Shutesbury, western Massachusetts, feels almost like a nature preserve. Foliage curls around the wooden sign at its entrance. Deer saunter across its dirt paths. Back in 1985, the founders used sustainable materials to build the common house, an octagonal wooden wonder that resembles a giant beehive with windows. Rays of sunlight poke down through the skylights onto the circle of meditators holding hands below.
Among them, wearing a flowered blouse and a calm smile, is Deb Wilson, 50. She has a laugh that bubbles up easily and often, but as the weekday 7:30 am meditation begins, she looks solemn. The group sends a quiet "om" up toward the rafters, and as if on cue, a gust of wind blows open the wooden doors, letting in a burst of crisp air and the twitter of birds.
Wilson and her husband, Brice, came here 18 years ago as guests. Then they rented a place nearby. One snowy afternoon, "I looked out the window and knew we wouldn't be going anywhere in a car," she says. "So I bundled up the kids, and we walked to the common house. There was a fire in the fireplace. People were playing cards, talking. It ended up being a great time." Wilson and her family became residents soon after.
There are plenty of places where you can find warmth and good conversation but not as many, perhaps, that offer warmth and silence. This is what Wilson and Monique Gauthier, 47, seek out one recent Wednesday at the Sirius community sauna. Gauthier and Wilson have been neighbors and close friends for 13 years and have a lot to talk about. (Wilson has a life--coaching and healing practice; Gauthier is a midwife.) Yet this day the two opt for silence. They just sit, enveloped by the steam. Indeed, Sirius's signature may be the easy way it weaves a nature--infused spirituality into daily life. Before meals in the spacious dining room (supper is served most nights), members close their eyes, join hands and say thanks. Nonresidents flock here for workshops on topics such as composting and organic gardening and more ethereal pursuits such as "transformational breathing" and "heart forgiveness." But Sirius has a following beyond its official property. More than a hundred neighbors are informally affiliated with the community, visiting for regular open-mic nights, bonfires and pizza baked in a wood oven.

The Miami DJ, Induce, unleashes his previously hidden vocal skills on his new single, "Her & I". Induce has been known for his left field hip hop and instrumental music, so the single, which is first off his album, Halfway Between Me & You, is a move in a different direction. The single, like much of the album, is punchy and soulful, with a carefree dance tune and passionate vocals. On the album, Induce is joined by Manuvers, Mr. Familiar, and Jack Splash.
Induce's upcoming album, Halfway Between You and Me is due out April 2011.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bunzome Cute, but not really functional When I saw this in the store, I HAD to have it. I had a bag of mixed nuts in shells (walnuts, pecans, almonds, hazelnuts and Brazil nuts) that I was dying to crack. Sadly, the little guy was no match for them. The walnuts barely fit between his paws, whereas he almost "swallowed" the almonds and hazelnuts, getting stuck in his "jaw." An extreme amount of exertion was needed to produce an initial crack in the shells. Repositioning them for a more complete opening then trying again resulted in a pulverized blend of shell and nutmeat. You're better off with an old-fashioned claw cracker, but he is an attractive decoration. November 6, 2011

text: Dec 16, 2012 23:59 Scott Angelle William Joyce Manfred Dix Tim Barfield Jack Donahue. Jean Jones Cynthia Bridges Greg Albrecht Jim Richardson capitol news bureau Comments Commissioner bids farewell to panel The Louisiana Public Service Commission on Wednesday honored Commissioner Jimmy Field, of Baton Rouge, who is retiring after 16 years on the panel that sets the rates customers pay each month for power in Louisiana. "It's bittersweet," said Field, who accepted a plaque from his colleagues at his last monthly meeting of the five-elected regulators. Field gave as parting gifts to each colleague a copy of a collection of writings by Christian theologian C.S. Lewis, of Belfast, Ireland. "This fellow does what he thinks is right all the time. That's not something we politicians do," said PSC Chairman Foster Campbell, of Bossier Parish. Field will be replaced in January by Scott Angelle, of Breaux Bridge, the former secretary in Gov. Bobby Jindal's cabinet. Oscar statue visits State Capitol A touch of Hollywood came to the State Capitol last week. Academy Award-winning illustrator William Joyce, of Shreveport, could not make it to the State Capitol for a recent legislative committee meeting. Joyce sent a substitute in his absence: The Oscar he received for best animated short film last year. The golden idol sat on a table in front of legislators as they discussed tax credits that benefit projects such as Joyce's Moonbot Studios. Tax data keeping economist up nights A discussion about tax data at the State Capitol on Thursday delved into what a state economist fills his head with on sleepless nights. Rather than counting sheep, Manfred Dix, economist for the Division of Administration, said he battles insomnia by thinking of what better data he could have for his number crunching. "The rest of us have different fantasies," Senate President John Alario, R-Westwego, quipped. Greg Albrecht, chief economist for the Legislative Fiscal Office, said he likes data as well. "But it's not keeping me up at night," Albrecht said. New counsel not a new face The governor's new executive counsel at the state Department of Revenue is not new to state government. Tim Barfield served as the state's labor secretary and the governor's executive counsel before leaving the Jindal administration to take a job with Amedisys Inc. Two years later, Barfield is back, this time leading the state Department of Revenue. His agreement to speak to business leaders Wednesday prompted the Rotary Club of Baton Rouge to donate a children's book to a local elementary school. The club chose "The Cat and the Hat Comes Back." Harris elected delegation chair First-term state Rep. Lance Harris, of Alexandria, has been elected chairman of the Louisiana House Republican Legislative Delegation. He will serve for remainder of the 2012-16 legislative term. Harris, elected without opposition, began serving as chairman effective immediately. He succeeds state Rep. Anthony Ligi, of Metairie. State Rep. Ligi leaves office Jan. 1 State Rep. Anthony Ligi, R-Metairie, announced Friday that he is resigning his post, effective Jan. 1. Ligi will become executive director and chief legal counsel for the Jefferson Business Council. "I'm not going to be lobbying you, but I am going to be around quite a bit," Ligi told fellow members of the House Appropriations Committee when he made the announcement. No date has been set for a special election to pick Ligi's successor. State Rep. Nick Lorusso, R-New Orleans, will take Ligi's spot on the appropriations panel, House Speaker Chuck Kleckley, R-Lake Charles, said. Message: Request 'woefully inadequate' Officials of the state Department of Education got a pointed message Friday from the chairman of the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget. The agency was supposed to make a detailed presentation on its operations to the panel before lawmakers begin reviewing budget proposals for the 2013-14 financial year. But state Sen. Jack Donahue, R-Mandeville, chairman of the panel, said legislative staffers told him the department's response to the committee's request was "woefully inadequate" and would be rescheduled for a later date. Donahue, who is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said he also wants to meet privately with state Superintendent of Education John White to review the issue. Jones retires from Civil Service State Civil Service Deputy Director Jean Jones is retiring after more than 30 years with the agency. Jones began her career with the state's personnel agency in 1980 where her first job was to develop a process to find and hire the best qualified people to teach vocational skills to handicapped citizens. Since then, her work has centered on open and fair competition for state jobs and implementing programs such as "Recruiting Tomorrow's Leaders Today" and the state's first online job application system. Jones has been deputy director since 2004. "The state of Louisiana is losing extensive institutional knowledge in Jean's retirement," Civil Service Director Shannon Templet said. Jones will stay on the job until March, when she will be succeeded by Byron Decoteau Jr. Decoteau is currently the chief of Civil Service's compensation division. Replacing Decoteau will be Chris Deer. In another job change, Melinda Robert will become chief of Civil Service's Accountability Division. Patrick Lowery has stepped down from that post. Tax administrator recognized Louisiana's former Department of Revenue Secretary Cynthia Bridges is being recognized as tax administrator of the year by national magazine State Tax Notes. Bridges served in the state job for 12 years before leaving under pressure to become executive director of the California State Board of Equalization. In its write-up, State Tax Notes said Bridges, who served under three governors, "has been praised for transforming the department into a leader in customer service." It goes on to list more ofBridges' accomplishments in Louisiana, including a new integrated tax system, implementing private sector best practices into the agency and working with other agencies and taxpayer groups "to better meet the needs of taxpayers and to increase voluntary compliance." The article said, "Despite her stellar record and reputation in the field, Bridges' resignation as Louisiana's revenue secretary did not come without controversy." It goes on to recount the dispute over an emergency ruling she issued related to the state's alternative fuels tax credit. Gov. Bobby Jindal reversed the ruling and she soon departed. "Many believed, as one leader in the field told State Tax Notes, that her resignation looked like 'standing on a principle in the face of the boss's disagreement.' That position was respected among her colleagues and others in the field." Albrecht, Richardson to speak at Press Club Greg Albrecht and Jim Richardson will speak at the Baton Rouge Press Club on Monday about the state budget. Albrecht is the chief economist with the Louisiana Legislative Fiscal Office. Richardson, an LSU economics professor, is a member of the Revenue Estimating Conference. Press Club meets Mondays at De La Ronde Hall, 320 Third St., in downtown Baton Rouge. Lunch, which is served at 11:30 a.m., is $12 for members and $15 for nonmembers. The public is invited. La. National Guard rep to give lecture Brigadier General JoAnne F. Sheridan, assistant adjutant general of the Louisiana Army National Guard, will address the Pelican State Pachyderm Club at 7 p.m. Tuesday. She plans to speak on the role of the Louisiana Guard in national defense, the role of the guard in Louisiana emergency response and the role of women in the military.

Rated 1 out of 5 by SamR Defective Product The dowel holes were not drilled wide enough so was imposible to put together. Even if they had been, I would recommend use of an electric screwdriver for this piece unless you want to end up with a sprained wrist. "Some assembly required" - what an understatement. This item was one step up from sending out planks of wood with a template to cut the pieces yourself. Bad enough that there are something like over 30 screws to deal with in awkward places, but I draw the line at having to drill the dowel holes myself. Sending this back. January 14, 2013

Mayor Williams and the Cast of Annie Tour William Hicks Anderson Community Center
Posted on 11/01/2013 2:21 pm
Mayor Dennis P. Williams joined the cast of Annie from the Delaware Children's Theatre to visit the William "Hicks" Anderson Community Center (WHACC), and present children with tickets to attend the theatre's production of Annie this weekend.
The students of WHACC guided Mayor Williams and both "Annies" along on a tour of the community center. The group visited the center's library, game room, gymnasium and pool.
"I truly appreciate these young ladies and the Delaware Children's Theatre for donating tickets to the William Hicks Anderson Community Center, so children may attend their production of Annie. This provides a great opportunity for young people in the City to be exposed to the arts, culture and performance," said Mayor Williams. "The support from the Delaware Children's Theatre closely aligns with the City's RISE Wilmington campaign, and how we are always looking for new, creative ways to make our City clean, safe and smart while broadening the horizons of our young people."
During the visit, both Annies performed "Tomorrow" and "It's A Hard Knock Life," two notable songs from the legendary Broadway musical. Mayor Williams also presented both actresses with gifts in an effort to commend their generosity.
Delaware Children's Theatre final showings of Annie will be Saturday, November 2, 2013 and Sunday, November 3, 2013. For more information or to purchase tickets please visit: www.dechildrenstheatre.org.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PeppermintP Never had a bad bottle of French I saw this wine on CostPlus website featuring the celebration of Bastille day. It states that it is good with barbecue i.e. ribs. So I knew my dad would be barbecuing ribs and I decided to try it. It was slightly dry with an aftertaste of fruit. Very crisp and light as well. It was a great compliment to seafood one day and then Barbecue Ribs the next day. My dad is very fussy about wine but he really liked this Rose. I am not a big Rose drinker but I too thought it was very good and would buy it again. Like I said earlier; "I have never had a bad bottle of any wine the French make". July 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jammie Great Rose Wine and worth the price!!! I've travelled the world and had some of the best Rose Wines out there and finding a jewel like this in the Michigan Area, was an exciting event. If you like light, dry with a nice fruity twirl in your mouth that will compliment the best in seafood... this is the bottle for you. But Shhhhh.... don't tell to many others, its more for us if you don't :0)...... March 3, 2013
