Server manageability
Updated: January 21, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
Server manageability
This topic contains a brief overview of the features that support server manageability. It is divided into two sections: New and updated features since Windows NT 4.0 and New and updated features since Windows 2000.
For links to more information about the features in this release, see New Features.
Improved manageability in the Windows Server 2003 family makes it easy to deploy and maintain Windows applications and systems.
New and updated features since Windows NT 4.0
The Windows Server 2003 family offers the following improvements (in comparison to Windows NT) that help provide increased levels of server manageability:
- IntelliMirror
- To help reduce costs, administrators need the highest levels of control over portable and desktop systems. IntelliMirror provides this control on client systems running Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional. You can use IntelliMirror to define policy settings based on business roles, group memberships, and locations. With these policy settings, Windows 2000 Professional desktops and Windows XP Professional desktops are automatically reconfigured to meet a specific user's requirements each time that user logs on to the network, regardless of where the user logs on. For more information about IntelliMirror, see IntelliMirror.
- Windows Management Instrumentation
- Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a scalable management infrastructure that is based on the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) initiative. Using WMI, which includes command-line and scripting capabilities, you can monitor, track, and control system events that are related to software applications, hardware components, and networks. WMI includes a uniform scripting application programming interface (API) that defines all managed objects under a common object framework based on the Common Information Model (CIM). WMI makes it possible for applications and scripts to discover what information is available for a system by enumerating the classes that are available. WMI can submit queries that filter requests for very specific information, and it can subscribe to WMI events based on your particular interests, rather than being limited to events that are predefined by the original developers. For more information about WMI, see WMI Overview.
- Active Directory Migration Tool
- The Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) can help you migrate user accounts, groups, and computer accounts from Windows NT 4.0 domains to Active Directory domains (that is, domains in which the domain controllers run Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003). For more information, see Active Directory support tools and Designing and Deploying Directory and Security Services at the Microsoft Windows Server System Web site.
- Remote Installation Services
- With Remote Installation Services (RIS), you can create installation images of operating systems or even of complete computer configurations, including desktop settings and applications. You can then make these images available to users at client computers. The client computers must support remote booting with the Pre-Boot eXecution Environment (PXE) ROM, or else they must be started with a remote-startup floppy disk. For more information, see Remote Installation Services. This feature is not included on computers running the Microsoft® Windows Server® 2003, Web Edition, operating system. For more information, see Overview of Windows Server 2003, Web Edition.
- Manage Your Server
- Manage Your Server provides a central location for you to set up various server roles and perform daily administrative tasks. For more information, see Configuring Roles for Your Server.
New and updated features since Windows 2000
The Windows Server 2003 family offers the following improvements (in comparison to Windows 2000) that help provide increased levels of server manageability:
- Remote Desktop for Administration
- With Remote Desktop for Administration (formerly known as Terminal Services in Remote Administration mode), you can administer a computer from virtually any computer on your network. Based on Terminal Services technology, Remote Desktop for Administration is specifically designed for server management. For more information about this feature, see Remote Desktop for Administration.
- Remotely administered server support
- Remotely administered server support provides the ability to install and manage a computer that does not have a monitor, VGA display adaptor, keyboard, or mouse. This feature also includes Emergency Management Services, which provides a mechanism to manage the remotely administered server when the operating system is not functional, such as when the computer is restarted, when the server is unavailable on a network, or during use of Remote Installation Services (RIS).
- User State Migration Tool
- The User State Migration Tool (USMT) aids deployment by capturing and restoring user settings, files, and documents. Users do not have to reconfigure desktop settings for such things as e-mail servers, proxy servers, desktop color schemes, and desktop wallpaper.
- Emergency Management Services
- With Emergency Management Services, combined with the appropriate hardware, you can perform remote management and system recovery tasks, even when the server is not available through the standard remote administration tools and mechanisms. For more information, see Emergency Management Services.
- Resultant Set of Policy
- You can use Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) to simulate and test policy settings that are applied to computers or users through Group Policy. RSoP is a query engine that polls existing policies--and also planned policies--and then reports the results of those queries. It polls existing policies based on site, domain, domain controller, and organizational unit. RSoP gathers this information from Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). For more information, see Resultant Set of Policy.
- Windows Management Instrumentation improvements
- Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) filtering enhances the Group Policy infrastructure by helping you to determine the effect of a Group Policy object (GPO).
- Remote Installation Services improvements
- Enhancements to Remote Installation Services (RIS) include support for both Windows Server 2003 family and Windows XP product installations, more control over answer file processing for an RIS installation, and access to network files in recovery modes. This feature is not included on computers running the Microsoft® Windows Server® 2003, Web Edition, operating system. For more information, see Overview of Windows Server 2003, Web Edition.
- Authorization Manager
- Authorization Manager is a new tool for authorization-related tasks. It is helpful for application developers who use authorization services in their applications, as well as for administrators who define groups and assign security principals to perform roles and tasks requiring appropriate user rights and permissions. For more information, see Authorization Manager.

Firstly I'll say, I'm new to coding and setting up websites in general. I am using Ninjaforms 2.4.2 for some simple forms on a wp site I'm setting up for someone. The forms worked for a few days, but as of late last night the pages that have embedded forms aren't loading *only* while my pagelines DMS editor is active.
You might think this is a forms issue, but I submitted a ticket to ninja forms and they've never heard of anything like this, so I'm wondering if it's on the DMS end..
The forms and pages load perfectly fine with the editor inactive and through other browsers besides. But so long as the shortcode is present on the page, while the DMS editor is running the page doesn't load.
When I attempt to load the page with the editor running and developer opened I receive this error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'ajax' of undefined"
Is this something with php?
Again, it seems to be the Ninjaforms plugin that is causing the problem, at least in part. When it's deactivated or the shortcode isn't in the post, the issue goes away.
I imagine you may seen this sort of thing before, but due to my inexperience I can't seem to fix it. Any help would be appreciated it.
Thanks kindly for your time.

In the largest and longest head-to-head comparison of two anti-clotting medications, warfarin and aspirin performed similarly well in preventing deaths and strokes in heart failure patients with normal heart rhythm, according to late-breaking research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2012 in New Orleans.
"Although there was a warfarin benefit for patients treated for four or more years, overall, warfarin and aspirin were similar," said Shunichi Homma, MD, lead author of the study and the Margaret Milliken Hatch Professor of Medicine at Columbia University in New York City.
In the 11-country Warfarin versus Aspirin in Reduced Cardiac Ejection Fraction (WARCEF) trial, researchers followed 2,305 patients with heart failure and normal heart rhythm for up to six years (average of 3.5 years). The patients were on average 61 years old, with left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 35% (normal is 55% or higher).
Of the patients in the study, 13% experienced a stroke or transient ischemic attack and were at heightened risk of recurrence. Patients with heart failure in general are at increased risk of death, blood clots and strokes.
Researchers randomly assigned patients to receive either 325 milligrams per day of aspirin or warfarin doses calibrated to a pre-specified level of anticoagulation. Warfarin therapy requires frequent blood testing to monitor its dosage to achieve the desired level of anticoagulation. To avoid bias, all patients had blood drawn on the same schedule and their pills adjusted so neither the patients nor their treating physicians knew which regimen they were taking.
Death, ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage, which combined were the study's primary endpoint, occurred at a rate of 7.47% for patients assigned to warfarin and 7.93% for patients assigned to aspirin. The difference was not statistically significant.
However, "in the group of patients followed for more than three years, those on warfarin did better in comparison to the aspirin patients," Homma said. Over the entire study period, patients receiving warfarin were slightly more than half as likely to develop a stroke as those taking aspirin. The rates of stroke were low, with annual rates of 0.72% in patients assigned to warfarin and 1.36% for those on aspirin.
Researchers evaluated the safety of the anti-clotting medications by monitoring major bleeding events other than intracerebral hemorrhage (since that was a primary endpoint). Each year, major bleeds occurred in 1.8% of patients on warfarin and 0.9% of those on aspirin — a statistically significant difference.
"As expected, the overall bleeding rate was higher with warfarin," Homma said. "However, not all bleeds are equal, and the one that patients fear the most — bleeding within the brain — occurred rarely in both groups." It occurred in 0.12% per year in the warfarin group and 0.05% per year in the aspirin group.
"Given that there is no overall difference between the two treatments and that possible benefit of warfarin does not start until after four years of treatment, there is no compelling reason to use warfarin, especially considering the bleeding risk", Homma said.
The investigators are analyzing whether certain subgroups of patients benefited more from each treatment.

It's definitely Gore if you define leadership as someone that everybody else looks up to. Leads by example, doesn't complain at all about splitting carries (he's only been getting 15-16 carries a game for the past few years) and only wants to win... anyone else remember him crying 4-5 years back because we had lost a bunch of games in a row?
Also, it's pretty obvious that Harbaugh respects him enough to listen to him when he does talk. It's not a coincidence that the moment Gore voiced his frustration with our divergence from our power running game, Harbaugh immediately went back to it the following week.

Wish i was there! You're so lucky to be photographing these beautiful animals!
Main Content
This is magical! This is the first time I realise how vivid a photo could be when it comes to capture wonderful moments in life.
Amazing Photo - what an beautiful thing to experience (lucky you)
Wonderful photography!
In a word...... Beautiful !
Loved it...
The way the sun is shining through makes it look like it's raining under water. Well done.
i like it (y)
Nice shot!
Great catch with the light and subjects.. inspiring
gorgeous photo- dolphins are absolutely breathtaking creatures, however i am pretty sure they were not feeding on the bottom: dolphins actually feed at night. they rest during the day, and go down to bottom and back up for air as they rest.
nice shot!
Very nice picture
this is really beautiful
I very much enjoyed your story, David. One more to add to those beautiful dolphins, and how they love and interact with humans. j.e.s........
The sunlight shining through the water is magnificent, and the dolphins milling around are just very much enjoying themselves. They love people, and are curious about them and what they are doing. So we have a great shot in black and white. After what I imagine was a happy two hours spent for the photographer. How can one not love dolphins? j.e.s.........
Nice pic!
excellent shot! Is it in black and white or it is a light effect?
Absolutely stunning!
Love it !!
Sublime and heavenly! Thank you for this gorgeous, inspiring photo, Nadia!
most beautiful picture I have ever seen.
Black and White color makes this image more lively and the sunlight....great shot
Wow, what a shot!
Nice photo Nadia!!! Congrats
Love your shoot of the dolphins. I started training to dive and body surf in 1951 around the beaches from Play Del Ray south to Seaward side of P. V. . This includes beaches Manhattan, Hermosa, Redondo, and all the shore line of including, and up to port of call San Pedro. I early on found the pleasure and safety of having Dolphins as swimming partners. I carried this on with me as a Navy rescue swimmer and retriever eight years ( including six tours in Vietnam). When ever I was in the water and Dolphins were in the area, I could do my job with out having to look over my shoulder. They always had my back and in the eight years never had a mishap with sea dangers. My mishap and my end to diving was in a river removing rocks to recover Gold. When returning to art after 53 year absent, a life saving feat by a family of bottle nose Dolphins gave me inspiration to do my work titled Oceans Angels. It was none in heavy stone ground minerals on a four ply poster mat. Due to the heavy weight of the Marcasite, and the amount I decided to use acrylic poly pour to capture the work. This allowed me to enter my work now in a medium of Acrylic graphic which over the years I have received 1st place and best of show. I would really like to get permission to do yours.

This weeks Highlights: An Israeli discovery can protect fertile women from the effects of chemotherapy. Israeli heart doctors saved the life of a 4-year-old Syrian girl. A Turkish zoo has received a shipment of 40 rare animals from Israel. Thanks to Einstein, Israeli scientists have found a new planet. The Israel Water Authority is opening the Kinneret dam to replenish the Jordan River. Israel has begun the building of a new International airport in the South. The Israeli government is subsidizing conversion to solar heating.
Israel's Good News – Week of May 19th 2013
Posted on
Thanks to our friend Michael Ordman
Protection during chemotherapy. Scientists from Sheba Medical Center and Bar-Ilan University have discovered how chemotherapy destroys the ovaries. They have also developed a medication (under trials) called AS101, which protects the ovaries and should maintain fertility of women undergoing cancer treatment.
The heart can heal itself. (Thanks to NoCamels) Doctors at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem noticed that cell tissue transplanted into the left atrial appendage of the heart in mice developed into local heart muscle tissue. The phenomenon – similar to that of embryonic stem cells – has major implications for cardiology.
Mushroom derivative treats pancreatic cancer. (Thanks to Israel21c) Professor Solomon Wasser of Haifa University has patented a medicinal product derived from a fungus found in Israeli forests. In animal trials, the Cyathus striatus drug appeared effective against pancreatic cancer.
The benefits of Israeli herbs. (Thanks to Israel21c) A team from Israel, Spain, Greece and PA-administered Nablus is developing a database revealing the science behind the medicinal benefits of thousands of plants they've been gathering and analyzing since November 2011 – including many native to Israel.
Saving the sight of the elderly. Israel's Chief Scientist has awarded biotech Cell Cure Neurosciences a $1.5 million grant to help develop their cell-based OpRegen treatment for macular degeneration. The dry form of age-related macular degeneration is estimated to afflict over 7.3 million people in the US alone.
Free check for melanoma. To mark Skin Cancer Awareness Week, approximately 300 Israeli health fund clinics are providing free checks by dermatologists and plastic surgeons. Early diagnosis, helped by the Israel Cancer Association's awareness campaigns, has reduced the toll from skin tumors.
Gaza weekly deliveries: In the week to 11th May 2013, 1,579 trucks carrying 42,490 tons of goods entered Gaza from Israel via the Kerem Shalom crossing.
Israeli doctors save Syrian girl's life. A 4-year-old Syrian girl was born with only one heart ventricle instead of two. She had only weeks to live when doctors from Israel's "Save A Child's Heart" organization operated on her. The operation was a success and she is recuperating ahead of returning to her new home in Jordan.
Humanitarian aid for Syria. Jerusalem native Moti Kahana heads a group of Israeli businessmen and American Jews who have raised $500,000 and travel to the Syrian refugee camps to provide aid to victims of the conflict. Moti's brother Steve is on IDF reserve service at the Golan Heights, treating injured Syrians.
The Arab-Jewish theater of Jaffa. This is true co-existence. The Arab-Hebrew Theatre of Jaffa hosts bilingual plays – in Hebrew and Arabic – that increase understanding between people and bind the audiences and the actors in a common, fun experience.
Just enjoying themselves. Elder of Ziyon has a nice image of Israeli Arab Moslem girls having a good time river rafting at Israel's Nahal Snir Nature Reserve.
Israeli zoo sends animals to Turkey. Israel's Ramat Gan Safari park has sent a shipment of 40 different animal species to Turkey in order to reinforce the Izmir Wildlife Park. Turkish zookeepers in Izmir had previously asked Ramat Gan Safari for help in boosting their zoological collection.
Einstein helps find new planet. Tel Aviv University researchers have used a light-measuring method, based on Einstein's theory of relativity to locate a new planet 2,000 light years away from Earth. TAU Professor Tsevi Mazeh said that Kepler-76b was the first planet discovered using the Doppler relativistic beaming effect.
Water brings Israel, Egypt and Germany together. At "Wasser Berlin" the Egyptian Minister of Utilities, Drinking Water and Sewage posed for photos with several Israeli delegates and the German Federal Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development. 23 Israeli companies were represented at the event.
Look after your computers. (Thanks to Atid-EDI) Israeli hi-tech company Soluto has launched a new service that allows businesses to manage all their Personal Computers from a single point. The cost is 90% less than most of the competition. Soluto's consumer product has already had 3 million downloads.
Better connections. (Thanks to Atid-EDI) Israel's RiT Technologies has launched Beamcaster – its indoor wireless optical networking solution. The ultra-high bandwidth and ultra-secure wireless technology is ideal for open-plan offices, hospitals, schools and trade shows, providing high connectivity and easy installation.
Stopping security leaks. The CelluSec platform from Israel's WiseSec has "indoor GPS" that can monitor mobile computers and smartphones inside an organization. Israel's Ness Technologies then can switch off your Internet capability, Bluetooth, camera etc. to protect against stealing data inside sensitive areas of the building.
The gates are opening. The Israeli water authority is to open the Degania Dam and replenish the flow of the Jordan River by releasing 1,000 cubic meters of water per hour from Lake Kinneret. It is part of an ecological regeneration process to restore the river and is being implemented in conjunction with the Kingdom of Jordan.
MK's take 10% salary cut. Israel's Members of the Knesset (parliament) have agreed to a 10% pay cut as part of the 2013-14 budget. The reduction of NIS 3,484 per month per MK will save NIS 5 million a year. It was enacted to show the public that the new economic austerity program affects everyone.
Gartner lists 13 "Cool" Israeli vendors. (Thanks to NoCamels) Technology research company Gartner has released its annual "Cool Vendors" list, which includes 13 Israeli companies. It features small companies in the fields of IT, communications and other branches of high-tech, which develop "groundbreaking" technology.
The Israel Conference. Los Angeles on 30th and 31st May is the venue for Americans wishing to meet and do business with Israeli companies delivering the latest technology. 70 Global companies. You need to be there.
Funtactix wins "a Webby". Israel's Funtactix has just won the digital equivalent of the "Emmy" awards.

Hello! After some friend of mine (cl0aked, more precisely) almost begging me to enter ConceptArt.org, I finally started my thread =]
I'll start with a brief description of myself: I'm Roberto Gomes, a 22y old architecture student from Brazil, although my main interest lies on drawings and illustrations...I wasn't born drawing, I actually found out that I wanted to draw when I was 12...and since then, I didn't stop =]
I'm self taught on some traditional media like graphites, charcoal, oil pastels, color pencils, nankin ink and watercolor (this last one I sux)...and only recently I began to walk on the digital world...I began working with Photoshop, now I moved to Corel Painter...and I completed 1 year of digital experience on November/2009 =]
I like to draw portraits, caricatures, landscapes, general illustrations and concept designs (for characters, creatures, furnitures, etc)...maybe due to the fact that I have a more cartoonish style and that I like to create my own proportions for the characters, I end up with some anatomical issues when drawing humans realistically...so one of my goals is to get better at this =]
Well, enough of talking, let's show something
Thanks in advance!!

An Eternally Crucified Picky Eater Explains All
Picky eaters, unite! A lifelong fussy eater, this writer is unapologetic about saying, "No, thank you!"
The guy in the flannel shirt really wanted me to eat his crab. "Have a claw!" he said, waving a steaming pincer in my face with tongs. "No, thanks. I'm good. You go ahead," I said. I've suffered through this gastronomic showdown a million times, from Paris to Paducah, and it always ends the same way. I turn down food I don't want to eat. At best, I offend somebody. At worst, I make a new unfriend.
The crab pusher came at me last summer at a beach party in Gustavus, Alaska, a little town on the fringes of Glacier Bay National Park. Golden sun shining off the water. Friendly locals. Cans of Rainier on ice. Alaskan king crab pulled from the frigid Pacific just hours earlier, now boiling in a giant kettle. A bighearted fisherman pulling out my prize from the pot.
"Have a claw!"
After my third refusal, the cheery offer started to sound more like a prison warden's order to get back in line. The fisherman's expression said, I am the executor of your once-in-a-lifetime experience. So take the claw, and we'll both walk away happy.
Now here it was, the inevitable moment when the personal capital I'd accrued was about to get squandered with a single confession: "I don't eat crab." I don't care how much butter and garlic you soak it in, that crustacean spider's gnarled clamper is not coming anywhere near my mouth.
"Don't eat crab?" His mariner eyes narrowed. "What the hell's wrong with you?"
Thanks! You're on our list.
And about to get a whole lot funnier.

I tend to be a bit behind on my RD's, but finally got to this one recently. People will never know how difficult it can be to be on this end of the food spectrum. I have to side eye RD a bit though… Can someone explain to me why this is in the 'funny stuff' section?
Oh, how I can relate. However, I have to say, Mr. Thompson is making this much harder on himself than he has to.
Many years ago, I went to dinner at my boyfriend's house. Most of what they served has never, and will never pass my lips. They were very sweet, I couldn't hurt their feelings, so I got creative. I will admit, my boyfriend had been watching to see how I would handle the situation, as he knew of my picky eating, and the look of surprise on his face, when I explained to his parents about my "allergies" was priceless, but it was then I learned: People may not be able to understand/accept my food hang ups, but they can understand/accept allergies. They were very sympathetic, and the time we spent there quite pleasant. I ate later, on the way home.
I admit I am not quite this picky, but I have always wished I could temporarily swap tastebuds with those who try to push me to eat food I don't like so they would get it and stop bugging me. I try to at least try things just to be sure, but 90% of the time, I am right…
I feel like Mr. Thompson crawled inside my head and wrote this article. I love food. I dream about food. However, I love the food I choose to love… and the selection may be small, but it's MY choice! I hate food pushers. Just because you will put literally ANYTHING into your mouth doesn't mean I have to do the same. I am picky and proud!

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Sit in the grandstand at the University of Alabama's Rhoads Stadium and you can see the traffic moving along McFarland Boulevard out beyond right field, the road curving as it skirts the edge of campus just north of one of the city's commercial districts.
It's a major thoroughfare, and, at one point during a recent game between Alabama and Stanford, two flatbed trucks passed each other in the gathering dusk, somewhere out beyond the banner proclaiming the stadium home of the best fans in college softball.
The southbound truck appeared to be loaded with new lumber, the telltale right angles and bright shades of construction material. The northbound truck carried what looked like utility poles, too perfectly round to be tree trunks in their natural state.
Maybe both loads were unrelated to anything that happened a month earlier, when a tornado tore through Tuscaloosa early in the evening of April 27. Maybe those same deliveries would have been made on another day in another year. But as the new materials headed in the direction of the splintered and shattered landscape no more than a mile south, it seemed appropriate that something bearing such a striking resemblance to debris headed the opposite way.
Alabama came from behind to beat Stanford and advance to the Women's College World Series, winning the final two games in a best-of-three series on the one-month anniversary of the tornado. But the individuals who make up the Crimson Tide know better than many that two softball games do not constitute a comeback. Not here. Not now.
A comeback is what is only just beginning in Tuscaloosa, what will continue in the weeks, months and years ahead.
It's that comeback that defines this team, playing now as ambassadors. As intertwined as town and gown always were at Alabama, rarely more than in coach Patrick Murphy's softball program, this team is now the Tuscaloosa Tide.
Not long after Alabama clinched its place in the World Series, Murphy received an email from two longtime season-ticket holders, two of more than a couple of thousand who are part of a softball community like few others.
"First of all, congratulations for winning the super regional. World Series bound. Andy and I want to thank each of you for the support you have given and continue to give for the tornado victims. We fall in that category, even though we have been blessed. Rather than the focus being on our great team heading to the World Series, you all continue to keep the focus on Tuscaloosa, our hometown. The support that it provides to our city is not measurable. We have been members of the softball family since the beginning. There is no other family we would want to belong to. We love you all and appreciate all you are doing for us. It can't be expressed in words. We'll be cheering you on from T-Town. We are proud to be a member of the Alabama softball team. Thank you, thank you, thank you and God bless."
The fans, Melinda and Andy Ramage, lost their home in the tornado. The reason they consider themselves blessed is because they are alive.
As Alabama travels to Oklahoma City for what it hopes will be the program's first national title in seven trips to the championship round of college softball, it does so without illusions that it can heal a city in which the storm claimed scores of lives and left so many more homeless and possessionless. You can't climb on top of a desk under a spring sky in the rubble of what was once a law office to help someone look for a leftover shred of order amid the chaos, as senior Kelsi Dunne did, and believe otherwise. You can't help a stranger transfer salvageable items from what was once a home into a car, as junior and Tuscaloosa-area native Jazlyn Lunceford did, and presume to think that the wooden championship trophy awarded at the World Series will go very far in rebuilding a community.
What the Tide can do is represent a city, those residents who might not even be aware there is a softball tournament in Oklahoma City this week and those, like the Ramages, for whom softball is a cherished diversion.
They can represent a community because it is their community.
"As cliche as it may sound, it's almost an honor," senior shortstop Whitney Larsen said. "It's amazing that a softball team, because we're so close with the fans and our community, that we're able to keep Tuscaloosa in a positive spotlight right now, and we're able to bring awareness that we still need help here. We've been given this platform as a student-athlete to keep this community together.
"It's amazing the support they've given us, and we're trying to do the same in return."
In the immediate aftermath of the tornado, which the softball team rode out in a subterranean level of Coleman Coliseum, a weekend series against Kentucky was canceled and the players were dispatched to their various hometowns for four days. Some didn't even wait to begin making a difference -- in the short time she was home in Missouri, sophomore Courtney Conley organized a relief drive that enabled her to make the return journey with an 18-wheeler full of supplies. But the morning after the team returned to campus, the players, coaches and staff traveled en masse to Alberta City, a Tuscaloosa neighborhood near campus that was almost completely destroyed. The first destination was a pile of rubble that a week earlier had been a law office owned by two more softball season-ticket holders, Nettie and Gar Blume. In the building at the time the tornado hit, Nettie had been pinned under a filing cabinet, Gar knocked to the ground while trying to turn off his wife's computer. Both survived, literally pulled from the rubble afterward.
On that morning six days later, Nettie told Murphy that the sight of all the players walking toward them, 20-plus pairs of batting gloves on hands waiting to help, made her week.
From there, the players fanned out, helping puts tarps over property that might prove salvageable, preparing food in an emergency services center and delivering it where needed.
"It was uplifting, but at the same time, it just broke your heart," Larsen said. "We felt very fortunate in the position we were because we were all safe. Nobody [on the team] had any damage to their homes or apartments or anything like that. We felt fortunate, but at the same time, it was just devastating. We drove [McFarland Boulevard, which also marks the western boundary of Alberta City] every single day coming to practice, and when you're on that street and you can't even recognize where you are because it's just completely gone, it was very shocking. It just put a lot of things into perspective for us, that we have a lot do for this community after they've given so much to us."
For several years, Alabama has ranked at or near the top of the national leaders in softball attendance, depending on whether the number is measured by total attendance or per-game averages. For a program that is just 15 years old, it's the result of success on the field but also outreach beyond the gates of Rhoads Stadium. Players deliver season tickets by hand, form bonds with local youths in clinics and camps, and get to know names and faces of fans from almost the moment they arrive on campus.
Members of the team are expected, as Murphy puts it, to have an "attitude of gratitude" toward those who make the softball experience at Alabama unlike almost any other college setting.
But in the past month, even as the Crimson Tide returned to the field, captured an SEC regular-season title and advanced to the World Series, something more profound than appreciation emerged.
"You recognize how important this town really is to you and your college experience," said sophomore Kayla Braud, an Oregon native. "And you maybe take it a little bit for granted before, how supportive they were of this program and this university, and then you see something devastating happening to this town and they're hurting. All you want to do is be there for them and help them pick up the pieces because you realize how much they've given to you.
"I've had the best experience of my life coming to play here, and that's partly because of the support from this community."
An hour or so before the first game of the super regional against Stanford got under way, Bill and Marti Walker sat with their teenage daughter Lauren in the stands behind the Alabama dugout. Residents of Northport, a town just across the Black Warrior River from Tuscaloosa, they started coming to games three years ago and became season-ticket holders for the first time this year.
"It was a great sport to do a family event for," Marti said. "It's small, but yet there's a lot of camaraderie here. Everybody just loves everybody. We just got our family together, and we started coming."
When the tornado hit, Bill and Marti were away in New York, frantically trying to reach Lauren, still home in Alabama, as they watched on television as the storm followed a path that seemed to put Northport in the line of fire. They got lucky, the tornado tracking south of Northport. Yet, like just about everyone, they know people who weren't as fortunate. Friends warned them not to drive back into town alone, the sight of the devastation too much to comprehend. What they saw in town indeed reduced them to tears.
But they saw something else as they approached that suggests this city will complete its comeback, if for no other reason than that people believe it.
"Coming in, there was a double rainbow at the Mercedes plant [a few miles east of Tuscaloosa], a sunset like you wouldn't believe," Bill said. "It was like God going, 'Everything is going to be OK.'"
These are the people of Tuscaloosa. And as the World Series begins, more than ever before, this is their team.

"Ghostbusters": 11 Things the Sequel Needs to Do to Succeed
The producers of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark struck back Tuesday against a lawsuit by Julie Taymor, claiming the former director violated her own contract before she was fired in March, and shouldn't receive any royalties from the $75 million Broadway musical.
Taymor, who also co-wrote the long-troubled show, sued producers in November, arguing that the overhauled musical violates her copyrights. She also said she deserves full credit and pay, despite her public ouster. Taymor seeks at least $1 million, as well as future royalties.
But according to The New York Times, the producers' countersuit insists Taymor "could not and would not do the jobs that she was contracted to do," forcing others to undertake those responsibilities, resulting in a new show over which she has no claim.
In the court filing they say Taymor refused to create an original, family-friendly musical based on Marvel's Spider-Man and instead "insisted on developing a dark, disjointed and hallucinogenic musical involving suicide, sex and death."
Following Taymor's firing, Spider-Man shut down for three weeks to undergo an overhaul at the hands of new director Philip William McKinley and writers Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Glen Berger. When the musical returned in mid-May for previews, it was described as "virtually unrecognizable" from the show savaged by critics in February.
"As a result of all of the changes that Taymor could not and would not make, the Spider-Man musical is now a hit," the producers say in their suit. "The show is a success despite Taymor, not because of her."
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, which costs $1.2 million a week to produce, grossed about $1.4 million last week, behind Wicked and The Lion King. It has brought in about $81 million since performances began in November 2010.
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark returned last night from a three-week hiatus "virtually unrecognizable" from the troubled musical savaged by critics in February.
That assessment comes courtesy of the production's most vocal detractor, the New York Post's Michael Riedel, who quotes lead producer Michael Cohl as saying, "It's almost a brand-new show."
Indeed, it certainly looks that way. As anticipated, Arachne, the eight-legged villainess created by former director Julie Taymor, has been reduced to a minor role (she previously dominated the second act). Both the "utterly superfluous" Geek Chorus — a group of four comic fans that provided much of the show's exposition — and the Furies — Arachne's minions who performed the widely panned "Deeply Furious" shoe-shopping number — have been cut entirely.
With Arachne diminished, Patrick Page's Green Goblin is given a more prominent role. Previously, the classic villain was killed off in the first act, only to make a confusing return in Act II. Now, Entertainment Weekly says, his climactic battle with Spider-Man is, appropriately enough, the show's finale. He's also given the only new song, "Freak Like Me"; most of the other musical numbers have been reworked.
Characters like Uncle Ben, Aunt May and Norman Osborn's wife Emily, who had been little more than footnotes in the $70-million production, have been given upgrades as well.
In short, as Riedel writes, the show now "hews more closely to Spidey's original comic-book sensibilities."
However, the overhaul, spearheaded by new director Philip William McKinley, Taymor's co-writer Glen Berger and script doctor (and comics scribe) Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, creates a tangled web of credits.
Critics are invited to attend preview performances June 9-11, ahead of the show's scheduled June 14 opening night. You can view the new trailer for Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark below.
The sweeping changes to Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark will include the elimination of one of Julie Taymor's signature elements, the widely panned Geek Chorus.
Based on the troubled musical's four original creators — Taymor, her co-writer Glen Berger, Bono and the Edge — the geeks are four comic-book fans who make up the plot as the story unfolds, serving as a device to cover the show's complicated scenery changes while doling out chunks of exposition. As practical as their purpose might be, they were described by some critics as "useless" and "utterly superfluous."
The New York Times reports the four actors — Mat Devine, Gideon Glick, Alice Lee and Jonathan Schwartz — were told Thursday night that the Geek Chorus will be cut when the $70-million production goes on hiatus on April 18. The newly expanded creative team, led by director Philip William McKinley, Berger and script doctor (and comics writer) Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, apparently has found a way to execute scenery changes without the aid of the chorus. According to Broadway World, there's no word yet on what will happen to the performers once their roles are dropped.
The loss of the geeks is only the first in what's expected to be a wave of major changes made in the wake of Taymor's departure on March 9. Green Goblin's confusing story arc will reportedly be clarified, the unpopular "Deeply Furious" number cut, and the role of the eight-legged villainous Arachne reduced if not eliminated entirely (The Times says the character, another of Taymor's signature creations, "is expected to remain, for now, though as a scaled-back character"). Bono and the Edge are also writing at least two additional songs.
In another change, Broadway World confirms that Chase Brock is replacing original choreographer Daniel Ezralow, a Taymor loyalist who designed the show's complex flying sequences.
Spider-Man will return from its three-week hiatus on May 12, and continue preview performances until the scheduled opening night on June 14.
The announcement of a June 14 opening night for Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark — the sixth delay for the troubled musical — was quickly followed by conflicting reports about a stalemate with departing director Julie Taymor.
Lead producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah J. Harris set the new date on Friday, and confirmed preview performances will shut down from April 19 to May 11 to allow the newly expanded creative team, which includes director Philip William McKinley and script doctor Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, to implement what are expected to be sweeping changes to the show.
Within hours of that news, the New York Post's Michael Riedel, who's been gleeful if not always accurate in his chronicling of the musical's myriad troubles, wrote that Taymor is digging in her heels, refusing to leave without a "hefty payday" — and the script she co-wrote with Glen Berger. Riedel cites a source as saying the standoff has caused "chaos" in what's already a chaotic production. A show representative was quick to deny the claims, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "All discussions are proceeding positively."
An "exclusive" early this morning from Showbiz411's Roger Friedman, whose frequently zealous defense of Spider-Man has softened dramatically in the past couple of weeks, contends Taymor will remain credited as director and co-writer (that point appears unchanged from Thursday), in large part because producers don't have a "hefty" payout for the Tony Award winner. That certainly sounds right, as the show's price tag is now being placed at north of $70 million — nearly triple its initially envisioned budget. While the musical is bringing in more than $1 million a week during preview performances, it will be at least four years before Spider-Man recoups its costs.
If all of that leaves any heads spinning, The New York Times has a terrific overview of the musical's troubled history that notes, perhaps, why Taymor's Lion King thrived while Spider-Man has foundered: Disney reined in the director, whom many regard as a creative genius, while Cohl and other producers gave her freedom, at least up until the past several weeks:
A post-Julie Taymor Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark will likely be a radically changed show, with many of the director's trademark elements altered or removed, multiple outlets report.
Among the rumored revisions are the strengthening of the love story between Peter Parker and Mary Jane, said to have been a point of contention between Taymor and some cast members, the loss of the widely panned "Deeply Furious" number, and a clarification of the Green Goblin's story arc (he dies in Act I only to reappear in Act II). But perhaps most notable are the plans for Arachne, the eight-legged villainess created by Taymor in 2002. The character, who dominates the second act, will see her scenes reduced or cut entirely, Bloomberg reports.
The details surfaced today, less than 24 hours after producers finally announced what many had expected for some time: that the beleagured director would leave and the critically savaged musical shut down for two weeks to undergo a massive overhaul. Philip William McKinley (The Boy From Oz) was brought in as Taymor's replacement to work with an expanded creative team that includes composers Bono and The Edge, musical consultant Paul Bogaev, playwright and comics writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, and sound designer Peter Hylenski. Opening night, most recently scheduled for March 15, will be delayed for a sixth time, to early summer.
As expected, the producers of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark announced this evening that Julie Taymor will step aside as director of the much-delayed and derided $65 million musical. They also confirmed that opening night has been moved from March 15 to early summer, marking the show's sixth postponement.
Taymor will be replaced by Philip William McKinley (The Boy From Oz), who joins an expanded creative team — it includes playwright and comics writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, musical consultant Paul Bogaev and sound designer Peter Hylenski — that will overhaul the production over the next three months. Performances are expected to shut down for two to three weeks in April and May to accommodate the retooling and rehearsals.
According to The New York Times, the producers, along with composers Bono and the Edge, told the cast this evening that Taymor was out but would remain involved in the show, although not in a day-to-day capacity.
That point was emphasized in a joint statement from lead producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah J. Harris: "Julie Taymor is not leaving the creative team. Her vision has been at the heart of this production since its inception and will continue to be so. Julie's previous commitments mean that past March 15th, she cannot work the 24/7 necessary to make the changes in the production in order to be ready for our opening."
The Times notes that the producers' press release doesn't include a comment from Taymor, an omission the newspaper characterizes as "a sign of the discord among them." Indeed, today's announcement follows weeks of friction, during which the Tony Award-winning director reportedly refused requests by producers to allow outsiders to make changes to the widely panned show.

Editor's Note: ESPN Insider has teamed with Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook to provide a comprehensive look at all 326 Division I teams. To order the complete 25th anniversary edition of Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, visit www.blueribbonyearbook.com or call 1-866-805-BALL (2255).
(Information in this team report is as of October 1.)
A national airline asks this question in an ad: "Got to get away?"
If you asked any member of the Creighton basketball team that question at the end of last season, they would have given you a resounding answer -- "Yes!"
One of the hottest teams in the nation at the end of last season had its year come to an end in heartbreaking fashion with a 63-61 loss to West Virginia in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
Guard Nate Funk's last-second three-pointer fell short at the buzzer, and the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament champions saw their eight-game winning streak, and season, come to an end.
"You need some recovery time," said Dana Altman, who reached the 300-win plateau as a head coach last season during the team's tournament run. "[Losing a game like that] hurts. I feel really bad for the seniors."
Fortunately for the Bluejays, they didn't lose many seniors from a team that led CU to its fifth MVC Tournament title in the last seven seasons.
And even better, they return one of the best players in the Valley in the 6-3 senior Funk (17.8 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 2.3 apg). The Iowa native blossomed in his second season as a starter, raising his scoring average almost seven points per game, while earning first-team All-Valley honors.
"He had a great year for us," Altman said. "He's worked very hard this off-season and we hope it pays off for him this year."
Last season Funk shot 47 percent from three-point range, 51 percent from the field and 81 percent from the free-throw line.
Funk is one of four starters back for the Bluejays, who return seven of their top nine players. The biggest losses for CU are point guard Tyler McKinney (6.4 ppg, 5.4 apg) and key reserve guard Kellen Miliner (9.4 ppg, 2.5 rpg).
In addition to Funk, 6-0 senior Johnny Mathies (11.8 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 2.1 apg) returns to the backcourt for his third straight season as a starter. Mathies was the MVP of the MVC Tournament last season, averaging 13.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.7 steals, and became the first player to earn postseason all-team honors after not being chosen to an all-league team.
"Johnny really came on for us last year and was a big reason [CU was hot at the end of the year]," Altman said.
With the loss of McKinney, Mathies could see some time at the point this year, but Altman prefers to use him at off-guard.
The point guard battle in camp will be between two newcomers, 6-0 junior Dominic Bishop and 6-0 freshman Josh Dotzler.
"At the other four spots we have experienced players and also off the bench, so that should help [either new guard]," said Altman, who is not looking for someone to carry the team, just to fit in.
Bishop averaged 11.0 points, 5.7 assists and 3.1 rebounds last season in leading Brown Mackie College to the NJCAA Division II national title. He's a left-hander with quickness and a bit of a scorer's mentality.
Dotzler (13.4 ppg, 7.5 apg, 5.1 rpg, 5.0 rpg) led West High to a Nebraska state title in consecutive years. Dotzler is more of a classic point guard who looks to distribute first and run the show.
Adding depth in the three-guard system are sophomore Pierce Hibma (2.9 ppg, 1.1 rpg) and 6-5 sophomore swingman Brice Nengsu, who arrives from Weatherford Junior College, where he averaged 12.6 points and 4.8 rebounds.
The real impact in the backcourt figures to come from 6-3 junior Nick Porter, if the talented guard can stay healthy. Porter missed last season with a knee injury that required two surgeries to repair. He appears on track to be in the lineup this season, and the Bluejays would love to add his athleticism and big play ability to the mix.
"I thought last year that we had to have him in order to have a chance to be successful," Altman said. "If he's healthy and ready to go, he'll give us something different."
The youth movement in the frontcourt worked out well for the Bluejays last season with 6-8 Dane Watts (6.9 ppg, 3.0 rpg) earning All-MVC rookie team honors. Watts worked his way into the lineup and started the final 23 games, scoring 14 points in the MVC title game against Missouri State.
Another player who capitalized on his role as a first-year starter was 6-8 Anthony Tolliver (3.4 ppg, 4.2 rpg), who enters his junior season. Tolliver seem to do a little bit of everything for the Bluejays as was evident in the conference finals where he had eight points, seven rebounds and two blocks.
Two seniors who provide some valuable minutes off the bench are 6-7 forward Jimmy Motz (5.9 ppg, 2.3 rpg) and 6-9 center Jeffrey Day (5.7 ppg, 3.8 rpg), who had a team-high 51 blocks.
Motz shot a team record 48.6 percent (54-for-111) from three-point range and adds another weapon on the perimeter along with Funk and Mathies. The trio helped CU rank fourth in the nation in three-pointers made at 41.4 percent.
Joining the mix up front is 6-8, 260-pound banger Manourou Gakou, who comes from Paris, France. Gakou spent last season at Cloud County (Kansas) CC and averaged 12.7 points and 7.6 rebounds.
"He'll give us another inside scorer," Altman said.
Another big body will help CU on the glass, which is one area the team got outplayed last year. The Bluejays averaged 29.9 rebounds per game, while the opposition posted 34.2.
The lack of rebounds didn't prevent the Bluejays from collecting their seventh straight 20-win season, which makes them one of only 12 D-I schools to accomplish that feat. It also didn't hinder the team's eighth straight postseason trip, which includes six appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
Despite all the success at a mid-major school over the last 10 years, Altman has not jumped at the chance to move to a bigger program.
"I have a good situation here," he said.
Southern Illinois might draw more national attention, but it's hard to find a better program in the Valley the last 10 years than Creighton. The names change on the back of the uniform, but the Bluejays remain in the hunt for a MVC title every season.
Don't expect it to be any different this year.
Funk and Mathies are both big-time guards who know how to get the job done -- especially in big games. If Porter can comeback healthy, they might be even more dangerous in the backcourt.
Inside, Watts and Tolliver need to build off their success last season, and Gakou figures to add another force in the paint.
The one thing the Bluejays lack is a seasoned point guard, but neither Dotzler nor Bishop has to come in and be a star, just steer the talented ship in the right direction.
Baring a key injury, the Bluejays will be one of the top two or three teams in the Valley this year and should be heading for another postseason trip.

Ryan Says Super Bowl Was Like a 'Cruel Joke'
WOODBURY, N.Y.—In Rex Ryan's autobiography, "Play Like You Mean It," the Jets coach wrote that he doesn't typically attend Super Bowls.
"I'm only going to the Super Bowl if my dad or my brother is in it," he wrote, referring to former Eagles coach Buddy Ryan and Rob Ryan, the Cowboys' defensive coordinator. "[Otherwise] it's too painful. We don't even do a party at the house."
This year was even more painful than usual for the coach, whose team collapsed at the end of the season by losing its final three games and missing the playoffs. Aside from it being his first time missing the postseason as a head coach, Ryan had to endure the fact that the two teams playing for the title—the Giants and Patriots—were the Jets' MetLife Stadium roommates and arch rivals, respectively.
"Yeah, it hurt," he said, speaking at a country-club luncheon for hundreds of Long Island business leaders Wednesday. "When [the matchup] shook out the way it did, it was almost like a cruel joke or something. The Giants and the Patriots? You've gotta be kidding me."
The coach was in Indianapolis the weekend of the game because of media commitments, but said he "went right back to [his] hotel room" whenever he finished them because he didn't have a desire to be in the area. "The one thing that everybody had in common there was that nobody liked me," he said, likely alluding to fans of the Giants and Pats. Ryan then proceeded to leave town as quickly as he could, arriving back at his New Jersey home in time to catch the game.
He applauded the Giants on their win Wednesday, saying, "You've got to give them all the props in the world; they found a way to get it done." But, surprisingly, he said their victory didn't necessarily light any more of a fire within him. Instead, he suggested that his club already had all the motivation it needed.
"We're learning from what happened this past season, and we've got some scars from it. There's no question," he said. "But if you learn from it, then you can get better from it. That's what we're gonna do."
The coach, who will attend the league's scouting combine next week, didn't detail what changes were on the team's horizon when he spoke with reporters. He reiterated that quarterback Mark Sanchez is still slotted to be the club's starting signal caller in 2012, and later said he couldn't address Peyton Manning rumors because he's still under contract with the Colts.
Ryan seemed quieter, if not more humbled, than usual during the panel discussion. He said far less than either of the other two panelists, former Giants quarterback Phil Simms and former Jets quarterback Boomer Esiason.
But he did have one moment that reminded everyone that he's still got some of the bravado that makes him unique. He wore his 2000 Super Bowl ring, which he rarely wears and won as a Ravens defensive coordinator, during the talk.
After being asked about it, Ryan said, "I already have one, and I plan on getting another one quickly."

Houston Saxon of Lumberton, a junior English and history major and philosophy minor at William Carey University, recently scored in the 100th percentile nationally on the Area Concentration Achievement Test for English.
The ACAT is administered as part of the coursework for ENG 498, a senior-level course, and assesses content knowledge and retention by students at the completion of their major field of study. The ACAT is a timed exam scored on an 800-point scale and acts as a comparison standard to some of the best undergraduate programs in the country.
Students who do well on the ACAT for English must be well-read in British and American literature. Sections on the ACAT for English include American to 1865; American Modern; British Medieval; British Renaissance; British Romantic Period; British Victorian Literature; Linguistics; Restoration/18th Century/Romantic; and Shakespeare.
Saxon scored a 779 on the exam, with perfect scores on the British Renaissance and Restoration/18th Century/Romantic sections. Other noteworthy sectional scores were a 740 in British Romantic and a 749 in Linguistics, although his scores were high on all sections.
"I've worked with students and the ACAT for more than seven years and we've had some great scores. However, Houston's score was exceptional," said Dr. Thomas Richardson, chair of the Department of Language and Literature. "The ACAT is taken without any specific preparation, other than degree coursework and a lifetime of reading and study. Having a student score in the 100th percentile shows his dedication to scholarship and we are so proud of him and his work."
During the summer, Saxon will complete his graduation requirements, as well as enroll in courses in Latin through Louisiana State University's distance learning program. After graduating from Carey in August, he will travel to Angers, France, for a semester of intensive study in French through the Consortium for Global Education. He hopes to apply for and be accepted into a post-baccalaureate program in classical studies in the fall of 2017.
"My ultimate goal is to be a writer of literature. To be a great writer and not have read thoroughly in the tradition is impossible. My scores show I have studied the various styles and aspects of English literature, making me a better writer," said Saxon.

Hello and congratulations for the theme " Anarcho notepad ." Super cool , this is the theme I was looking for when I wanted to create my site! I 'm sure it will be a beautiful succès.Pardon for phraseology but I'm French . I have a few problems however : No way to change the color of the page and tags , yet I tried on the Site Tagline color to change , for it works against on Site Title color ! On the other hand, as my site was existing there have been some changes in the script, but also a settlement text and unable to give them more space , ditto for the tags ... (the site in question is http://www.maisonecclesiacathare.org/ )
. But these are only minor annoyances that I think will be resolved over the updates, but it may be that I can not get the right settings , since I 'm hardly a computer specialist ..! Thank you again for the good work which I pay a donation today , but it is only the opinion of an old libertarian spring 58 ! Jean K.
