Product Description
As an adventurer, each player tries to shift the maze corridors in order to obtain as many of the 24 treasures possible from the dragon's labyrinth and to defend themselves against the dragon and the two maze guards. But players may only take the treasures in ascending order.
After the last treasure has been found, players have to face the dragon itself in an extraordinary final duel. If the dragon is defeated, the game is over. The player with the most points wins.

You want to batter your head? You want to be filled with a huge throbbing desire to murder your friends? You want to feel the glorious joy of pulling off a move so astounding, so amazing, so wondrously clever that your co-wizards' mouths hang agape? Then buy this game.
The principle of Master Labyrinth is simple. Each turn you try to reach the next magical ingredient token in the sequence, trying to gain as many as possible (especially the ones on your Secret Recipe Card). This is accomplished by moving one row of the maze by inserting the spare tile, then moving your token any distance along any open path available. Simple.
Except it isn't simple. It isn't simple at all. It's frustrating, it's a brain-wracking experience and so, for me, everything I want from a game: move to get a token, move to frustrate your opponents... and the most glorious moment of all, when with one simple move you trap 2 players in nigh on impossible positions and open a path across the maze from corner to corner for the final token on your recipe card. Beautiful, elegant and huge fun.
Ravensburger haven't let me down yet. I'm on the lookout for more to join this and the equally good Scotland Yard.
Master Labyrinth could be seen as something of a competitive tile-laying game. The difference is that the tiles are already there when the game starts, and the players push them around on the board, making and breaking pathways in the process. The changes the board can undergo in just one turn can alarm, delight or frustrate, depending on if it helped or hindered the path to your destination.
The aim is to collect ingredient tokens, in numeric order, all the while trying to keep your opponents from doing the same. In addition, three of the ingredients belong to a special recipe - a secret goal card you get at the start of the game, different for each player - and are worth big points if you get them. You also get three wands that you can spend to give yourself another turn right away - useful if the next number is on your secret ingredient list and you need two turns to get there.
If you miss out on an ingredient for your secret recipe, the rules allow players to trade route information for tokens or wands. In practice, I find that this rule is never invoked.
The game plays satisfactorily with two players but it can get a bit slow at times because one player is essentially just trying to counter the other and prevent them from getting the next token. It plays much better with three.

The arrests by city police and U.S. marshals came less than four days after gunfire scattered the crowd and wounded 20 people—19 hit by bullets and one while trying to flee.
Akein Scott, 19, was arrested without incident late Wednesday at an eastern New Orleans residence. His brother Shawn Scott, 24, was arrested Thursday morning as he tried to flee another residence in the city, police said.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu and police Chief Ronal Serpas hailed the police work as proof of officials' determination to end sporadic violence that mars the image of the tourism-dependent city.
"We will not let up," Landrieu said. "We are demanding that the shooting stop. And we will make sure that we do everything in our power, which I hope people now see is substantial, to make sure that we protect the citizens of New Orleans."
A magistrate judge on Thursday morning set bond for Akein Scott at $10 million in the attempted murder case. Another judge ordered him held without bond pending a later hearing on an unrelated gun and weapon charge.
Shawn Scott's court appearances were not yet scheduled.
Police said Akein Scott had been identified by an unnamed witness as the person seen on a surveillance video, appearing to fire into a crowd that immediately scatters as some fall.
Police have yet to outline a motive, other than to say it appears related to gang activity, which Landrieu called a major factor in New Orleans street violence.
"This small number of people in gangs and groups are responsible for the overwhelming number of murders and shootings in this city. They are in fact terrorizing our streets," Landrieu said.
Police said the Scotts are members of a gang called the Frenchmen and Derbigny Boys. Frenchmen and North Derbigny streets intersect a few blocks from the shooting site. Court records show Shawn Scott has a history of at least three drug arrests on one block of Frenchmen Street.
In addition to the brothers, police said they arrested four people who are accused of helping Akein Scott elude capture. Justin Alexander, 19; Brandy George, 28; Bionca Hickerson, 22; and Nekia Youngblood, 32, are charged with being accessories after the fact to attempted second-degree murder and obstruction of justice, according to a police news release.
At Thursday's court appearance, Akein Scott, shackled and in an orange jumpsuit, stood calmly and silently as his court-appointed attorney handled proceedings in the shooting case.
Prosecutors said a witness picked out a photo of Akein Scott from a lineup. An arrest affidavit said the unidentified witness told investigators that Akein Scott was the person seen in a surveillance video that police released to the public as they searched for him. The witness also said Akein Scott was carrying a silver-and-black semi-automatic handgun at the shooting scene, according to the affidavit.
Magistrate Judge Gerard Hansen set Akein Scott's bond at $10 million—$500,000 on each of the 20 counts in the Mother's Day shooting case.
Police had been searching for Akein Scott since identifying him as a suspect Monday from the video.
Courtney Moles, whose apartment overlooks the shooting site, said Thursday that she didn't feel her safety was in jeopardy while police searched the city.
"I didn't really think he would come back. It's more personal than that," she said. "He wasn't going to that second line to make national news. He was probably settling some kind of score."
Edward Buckner, president of the Original Big 7 Social Aid and Pleasure Club, which sponsored Sunday's second-line parade, said he was ecstatic at the news of the arrests.
"That's the best thing that could ever have happened," he said.
Police publicized a $10,000 reward in the case, and investigators received tips after images from the surveillance camera were released.
Gun violence has flared at two other city celebrations this year. Five people were wounded in a drive-by shooting in January after a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade, and four were wounded in a shooting after an argument in the French Quarter in the days leading up to Mardi Gras. Two teens were arrested in connection with the MLK Day shootings; three men were arrested and charged in the Mardi Gras shootings.
Mark Hertsgaard, a freelance writer who was shot in the leg Sunday, said in a phone interview from his home in San Francisco that he wouldn't let the violence turn him against the city.
"I love New Orleans, and I love anything that helps to heal New Orleans from this event, including bringing justice to the perpetrators," said Hertsgaard, who was stopping in the city on his way home assignment.
Hertsgaard said he still loves the people of New Orleans.
"Yes, there are pockets of idiots, and the other day one of them put a bullet in my leg," he said.
"But let's not let a few idiots tarnish the reputation of a great city that has great people in it."
Associated Press writers Chevel Johnson and Michael Kunzelman contributed to this report.

Post subject: What do you do with things you don't want?
Last time we moved house we gave so much to charity, I give lots still but have been trying to sell things recently with not much luck.

Make room for Michael
On Oct. 6, 1993, Michael Jordan retired for the first time. And on Oct. 6, 1993, Jordan gained an adamant 12-year-old admirer in Tonganoxie.
Brett Becker already was a fan. But on that day in 1993, he decided to start collecting Michael Jordan memorabilia. He became even more serious about his collection during the next few years.
Now, the 18-year-old Tonganoxie High School senior's collection is more than just a collection.
"He is obviously the best player ever," Becker said. "I started with collecting just a few magazines."
One visit to his room will convince anyone.
Upon entering his room, all a visitor sees are Jordan's eyes and face.
To the right and left, Becker has about 150 magazines lining the walls. He tries to hunt down any magazine with Jordan on the cover.
Becker cuts Jordan's photograph out of magazines, if he has more than one of the publication. With his cutout pictures, Becker meticulously creates collages.
Becker's oldest piece is a 1983-84 issue of Sporting News. He estimates his magazine collection is worth about $600.
But Becker's collection consists of more than just magazines. He has a collector's series of four plates, which he displays side-by-side to create a scene. His plates are worth about $200.
"My parents were worried about the money that I have spent," he said. "But at least it is not used for a bad habit."
Becker demonstrates no sign of a bad habit. He has a 4.0 grade-point average, started every basketball game last year, is class president and was crowned homecoming king this year.
Becker has about 1,200 Jordan cards, numerous posters, T-shirts, figurines and other collectible items. He even has a pair of baby Air Jordan shoes.
His family likes to give him Jordan paraphernalia for birthdays and Christmas, but that is not always a safe bet because he just about has it all.
"The best part is when someone brings something to me and I tell them, 'I already have it,'" he said. "It really blows people away."
Ironically, Becker never has met Jordan. He did see him play once in a pre-season game at Allen Fieldhouse on the Kansas University campus.
"I still hope to meet him some day," he said.
Once his older brother, David, left for college, Becker moved into his brother's old room.
"I guess I wanted a normal room to sleep in," Becker said. "It is kind of hard to sleep sometimes with all the eyes staring at you."

has a DNA service that is growing in popularity. They offer 2 basic tests, the male Y-DNA at 33 or 46 points of DNA and the female mtDNA. Males are the only ones that can make use of the Y-DNA test which tells them the points that will match cousins who have a common father's, father's, father's father down the line. If there are no adoptions in one's line, then these points will also match the surname carried by the person being tested. AncestryDNA has two different levels of testing that can be done for their male participants. You can start with the 33 point test and upgrade to the 46 point test if you need further detail when comparing notes with a cousin.
DNA Testing by Ancestry also provides an mtDNA test which tells males and females the common points that their mother's, mother's, mother's side has. In other words, it will match you with cousins from your mother's side.
Both tests are the basic ones created to help you find cousins with whom you can share family history to help verify your ancestors. Hopefully one of the cousins you get matched with will have traced the lineage back further than you, benefiting your research.
It's possible to order both test types if you are male to find as many cousin matches as possible. The main reason persons want to find cousin matches is to verify their common ancestors and solidify their lineage.
The other strong reason to get into family DNA projects like Ancestry's is that it often can help you determine when you are barking up the wrong family tree so to speak. It can save you years in false research with one simple test.
As far as testing goes, it's a simple cheek swab one receives in a kit after signing up. Easy does it.
If you decide to go with DNA by Ancestry, it is important to note that this company does not nearly have as large a gene database as the forerunner in this field which is FamilyTreeDNA. Ancestry's database is growing quickly however. It's main draw is that the tester can share one's tree easily through the family tree projects on Ancestry.
The person who participates in the AncestryDNA project should also be aware that they don't test the exact same points as other genetic companies. This is not unusual. Most companies tend to have a few points that are specific to their labs. If one has points that match a Family Surname project in their competition's FamilyTreeDNA service, the participant also needs to know that they will be able to join the FamilyTreeDNA service by paying a small fee to transfer into one of their Family Surname projects.
A word to the wise, before you decide what company to go with, do a search in your favorite search engine like the following: "(Your Surname) family DNA project" to see what company/ies already have family members testing so that you can participate with the matching company for that surname project. It will save you a little money and a little hassle.
I have personally learned a lot through DNA testing. As a female I had to find a male relative with my maiden name as his surname that could test for my male DNA points. I paid. He tested. That worked just fine.
DNA by Ancestry
is the 2nd most popular genetic genealogy company so it will still be the right place to go if you are an Ancestry subscriber or if that is where your surname's family DNA project is.

APIs Are The Next Marketing Platform
In the toady's 30 second span world, we spend much of our time asking each other what is next. In marketing it was the web, then search, then blogging, then social media, but what really is next? Last week David Armano, made a big announcement that he was going to join Jeff Dachis and Peter Kim at the Dachis Corporation to focus on social business design. After reading David's post it spurred me to write a post I have been kicking around in my head about the "future" of marketing.

The Poisons and Venoms of Organisms...
Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
Approved Pharmacologic Treatments for NAFLD, NASH,...
We're Used to Tracking Economic and...
Asuragen and Life Technologies agreed to work together on the development and distribution of an in vitro diagnostic test for monitoring chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The test will run exclusively on the 510k-cleared Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument; Applied Biosystems is part of Life Technologies.
Asuragen will be responsible for regulatory activities in Europe and the U.S. The diagnostic will then be distributed by Life Technologies globally.
Asuragen's in vitro test, a BCR/ABL1 assay, will be designed to simultaneously detect and quantify BCR/ABL1 fusion transcripts (b2a2, b3a2, and e1a2) in a single reaction. The BCR/ABL1 fusion gene arises from a specific chromosome translocation, known as the Philadelphia chromosome.
The resulting BCR/ABL1 fusion transcripts are present in approximately 95% of CML and 25–30% of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases, according to the companies. The expression level of the fusion transcript or its ratio to a reference transcript may be used to monitor disease progress, they add. They believe that tracking the level of BCR/ABL1 may be helpful for both prognosis and management of Gleevec®, Sutent®, and Sprycell ® kinase therapies in patients with leukemia disease.
"Our development of a BCR/ABL1 test leverages both our expertise in molecular diagnostics development and our proprietary Armored RNA® technology," asserts Rollie Carlson, Ph.D., president of Asuragen. "With streamlined multiplex workflow and inclusion of Armored RNA controls in the kit, the assay will have both broad target coverage and dynamic range while offering unmatched standardization for both internal and external assay calibration."

*Four Wheel Drive is recommended! No cars will be able to access this without doing damage. And please do not attempt during snow/winter.* *This takes about 40 minutes to get to from starting point.* Tight roads and it is bumpy, be safe!*
This is a box located on a beautiful boulder/cliff overlooking Colorado scenery; I first came here with my dogs and husband hence Dog Paw Cliff. The box contains an amateur handmade stamp, a pencil and no ink (this my first attempt to carve a stamp).
Starting from the McDonalds located in Woodland Park, CO. From light at McDonalds (when heading West towards Divide) Go RIGHT on Baldwin Street and continue on this road 2.6 miles till you get to Rampart Natl Forest and reach a fork in the road.
At the fork, take a LEFT. Go 3.5 miles on this same road until you reach a T in which the sign points to Denver, Go LEFT and drive 1 (one) mile. You will see a small brown fence to your RIGHT off the main road, trail number #322. Take this trail.
Stay to the LEFT when you get to the clearing after taking this trail and continue down the same road for 4.2 miles. About halfway through you will pass a sign to the Right that says, Road closed KEEP GOING. You will come to a fork in the road, go RIGHT 0.3 miles (You could hike if you want, or drive, trail narrows)
Go up a fairly steep incline and park to the LEFT on the boulder. Enjoy the view!
Continue down the dirt trail about 180-200 paces, and just before you reach the camping spot there will be a small tree with some boulders in front of it to your LEFT.
Two boulders are squished together about 10-13 paces straight down from the small tree.
Look underneath, behind two rocks.

RENO, Nev. – The University of Nevada women's tennis team will return to the road this weekend, taking on Idaho on Friday at 4 p.m. and Gonzaga on Sunday at 9 a.m.
The Wolf Pack is 5-8 (0-1 WAC), while the Vandals are 15-5 (0-1 WAC) and the Bulldogs are 9-6 (0-3 WCC).
Nevada claimed a pair of wins last weekend, opening its home schedule with victories over UC Davis and Pacific. The Pack beat UC Davis 5-2 and Pacific 6-1.
Sophie Stevens has been Nevada's strongest performer in recent weeks, winning her last four singles matches and teaming up with Juliette Legendre to go 2-0 in her last two doubles matches. Stevens has won 13 singles matches this season, including seven in dual play.
Another pairing that has worked out for the Pack on the doubles courts in recent weeks is Michelle Okhremchuk and Emma Verberne. The pair defeated the No. 1 doubles team against No. 57 Fresno State two weeks ago, and has also won its last two matches.
In singles play, each player has put together an impressive season.
Okhremchuk is 18-9, with an 8-5 mark out of the No. 1 spot in dual play. Verberne, a junior from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, currently sits fourth on the Nevada all-time singles list with 52 career victories and is 15-12 (7-6 in dual play). She is four matches from catching Caroline Bailly in third place. Bailly played for the Pack from 2005-08 and won a total of 56 singles matches.
Idaho picked up its fourth straight win when it beat Weber State 7-0 its last time out. Gonzaga also took on Weber State in its last match, beating the Wildcats 6-1.

Israeli Arab MK Ahmed Tibi submitted an official complaint to the Foreign Ministry on Wednesday, following an article by Israel's envoy to the U.S. Michael Oren, according to which Tibi had retained his position as deputy Knesset speaker despite his support of suicide bombers.
In an article published last week in the Foreign Policy magazine, titled "Israel's Resilient Democracy," Oren claimed that Israel's Arab citizens enjoyed equal rights, and that Israel's first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion emphasized that Arab citizens must be allowed to vote and be elected to the Knesset.
"In fact, Israel has tolerated acts that would be deemed treasonous in virtually any other democracy. Ahmed Tibi, who once advised PLO Chairman Yasir Arafat and recently praised Palestinian "martyrs" -- a well-known euphemism for suicide bombers -- serves as a member and deputy speaker of the Knesset," Oren wrote.
Having read the article, Tibi was especially upset over Oren's claims that he had lauded suicide bombers. In a letter of complaint addressed to the Foreign Ministery's Director General Rafi Barak, sent also to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin, the Israel Arab MK indicated that he had never granted such support.
"Mr. Michael Oren attacked me, distorted my words, and claimed that I support suicide bombers against Israelis, in utter contrast to my declared positions," Tibi wrote in his letter.
The United Arab List-Ta'al chairman also said that Oren's piece was published after it had been made known in Israel that a video purported to display a speech in which Tibi lauded suicide bombings was "maliciously edited, and after many, included journalists Ben-Dror Yamini and Dan Margalit retracted their criticism against me on this matter."
In addition, Tibi indicated that according to civil service protocol "senior officials cannot attack elected officials (even if they're Arab!)," adding that Oren's article represented an offence against that regulation.
The Israeli Arab MK demanded that Israel's U.S. ambassador retract his statements, "both because of the lie and because of the ban on attacking elected officials," adding that if his demand was not met he would have turn to the legal avenues and file a libel suit against Oren.
In response to Tibi's letter, the spokesperson of Israel's U.S. embassy said that Oren's article "relates to the resiliance of Israel's democracy, one which allows broad freedom of opinion and expresision, including views and action which outrage the majority of the public"

Students and staff in the Lauderdale County School District are busy preparing for a production of "The Wiz".
A news conference and reception for the sponsors were held Wednesday morning.
About ninety students are involved in an elaborate production that will be presented at Meridian Community College's McCain Theatre May 7-10.
Superintendent Randy Hodges said it could not happen without community support.
"It, along with academics and athletics, the performing arts just makes it complete. It gives you a well-rounded student," said Hodges. "It gives them a wonderful experience and at school activities. And they grow from it. Being able to get up on stage and show their talents. It's, you just can't say enough about what the arts mean for our young people."
Tickets for the production are available at Citizens National Bank downtown, First State Bank in Meridian, at each county school office and the district office. The cost is $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for students.

Pennsylvania State Director of American Atheists, Inc., Mr. Ernest
Perce V., was assaulted by a Muslim while participating in a Halloween
parade. Along with a Zombie Pope, Ernest was costumed as Zombie
Muhammad. The assault was caught on video, the Muslim man admitted to
his crime and charges were filed in what should have been an
open-and-shut case. That's not what happened, though.
defendant is an immigrant and claims he did not know his actions were
illegal, or that it was legal in this country to represent Muhammad in
any form. To add insult to injury, he also testified that his 9 year
old son was present, and the man said he felt he needed to show his
young son that he was willing to fight for his Prophet.
The case went to trial, and as circumstances would dictate, Judge Mark
Martin is also a Muslim. What transpired next was surreal. The Judge
not only ruled in favor of the defendant, but called Mr. Perce a name
and told him that if he were in a Muslim country, he'd be put to death.
Judge Martin's comments included,
had the benefit of having spent over 2 and a half years in
predominantly Muslim countries I think I know a little bit about the
faith of Islam. In fact I have a copy of the Koran here and I challenge
you sir to show me where it says in the Koran that Mohammad arose and
walked among the dead. I think you misinterpreted things. Before you
start mocking someone else's religion you may want to find out a little
bit more about it it makes you look like a dufus and
Mr. (Defendant) is correct. In many Arabic speaking countries
something like this is definitely against the law there. In their
society in fact it can be punishable by death and it frequently is in
their society.
Judge Martin then offered a lesson in Islam, stating,
is not just a religion, it's their culture, their culture. It's their
very essence their very being. They pray five times a day towards Mecca
to be a good Muslim, before you die you have to make a pilgrimage to
Mecca unless you are otherwise told you can not because you are too ill
too elderly, whatever but you must make the attempt. Their greetings wa-laikum as-Salâm (is
answered by voice) may god be with you. Whenever, it's very common
when speaking to each other it's very common for them to say uh this
will happen it's it they are so immersed in it.
Martin further complicates the issue by not only abrogating the First
Amendment, but completely misunderstanding it when he said,
what you have done is you have completely trashed their essence, their
being. They find it very very very offensive. I'm a Muslim, I find it
offensive. But you have that right, but you're way outside your
boundaries or first amendment rights. This is what, and I said I spent
about 7 and a half years living in other countries. when we go to other
countries it's not uncommon for people to refer to us as ugly
Americans this is why we are referred to as ugly Americans, because we
are so concerned about our own rights we don't care about other
people's rights as long as we get our say but we don't care about the
other people's say"
But wait, it gets worse. The Judge refused to allow the video into evidence, and then said,
" All
that aside I've got here basically.. I don't want to say he said she
said but I've got two sides of the story that are in conflict with each
"The preponderance of, excuse me, the burden of proof… "
has not proven to me beyond a reasonable doubt that this defendant is
guilty of harassment, therefore I am going to dismiss the charge"
The Judge neglected to address the fact that the ignorance of the law
does not justify an assault and that it was the responsibility of the
defendant to familiarize himself with our laws. This is to say nothing
of the judge counseling the defendant that it is also not acceptable
for him to teach his children that it is acceptable to use violence in
the defense of religious beliefs. Instead, the judge gives Mr. Perce a
lesson in Sharia law and drones on about the Muslim faith, inform
everyone in the court room how strongly he embraces Islam, that the
first amendment does not allow anyone " to piss off other people and other cultures" and he was also insulted by Mr. Perce's portrayal of Mohammed and the sign he carried.
This is a travesty. Not only did Judge Martin completely ignore video
evidence, but a Police Officer who was at the scene also testified on
Mr. Perce's behalf, to which the Judge also dismissed by saying the
officer didn't give an accurate account or doesn't give it any weight.
Here is a link to the video that includes the audio of the Judge during the trial:
Here's coverage of the incident from the local ABC affiliate
Needless to say, this is totally, completely and unequivocally
unacceptable. That a Muslim immigrant can assault a United States
citizen in defense of his religious beliefs and walk away a free man,
while the victim is chastised and insulted by a Muslim judge who then
blamed the victim for the crime committed against him is a horrible
This reeks of those cases we used to read about where a woman is blamed for her own rape because she "was asking for it" by virtue of the clothing she chose to wear, and then having the Judge set the rapist free.
I can promise you this, you have not heard the last of this issue. Not by a long shot.

Tim Thomas stopped nine of 10 shots in his first game since April 2012 before the Lightning rallied to win in Estero, Fla.
Thomas signed a one-year contract before game time after playing with the Panthers during camp on a professional tryout. Jonathan Huberdeau, making his first preseason appearance, gave him a 2-0 lead with a pair of power-play goals before Tyler Johnson's goal at 8:27 of the second got the Lightning on the board. Thomas left the game shortly afterward.
"It felt good for being the first time in a game-like atmosphere for 15 months," Thomas told the Miami Herald. "I think it was a necessary step for me. I thought it was good not to wait. We're running out of preseason games. I feel ready now."
Richard Panik's third-period shorthanded goal against Jacob Markstrom forced overtime before Nikita Kucherov won it at 4:04 of OT.
Ben Bishop went all the way and stopped 26 shots for Tampa Bay, which has won three times in overtime on the way to a 5-1-0 preseason mark. The teams meet again Saturday night in South Florida.
"We want to see who we have and who can contribute, and we are getting it from everybody, so it's been fun to watch," coach Jon Cooper said. "But this is the preseason and it gives us a chance to see what we have, and we like what we see. But let's be honest -- we've come on the positive side a lot in these games but you can make the argument we didn't outplay these teams. ... We've got a lot of work to do."

Comparatively little systematic attention has been devoted to the impact of international commissions of inquiry on the specific disputes, incidents or situations that they are created to address.
Jus post bellum as a concept has gained significant attention in past decades.

Database Objects: Indexes
Last updated Mar 28, 2003.
As I mentioned in my last overview on Stored Procedures, the two main categories of database objects are those that store data and those that access or provide access to data. Tables are the only objects that actually store data; all other objects in the database provide access to data.
It seems obvious that objects such as views and stored procedures provide access to data, but in this article I'll describe another object that provides a round-about way of data access: indexes. In this overview, I'll explain index theory, index structures, and how indexes are implemented. To put these theories into practice, we have other articles here at InformIT regarding maintain indexes. In other words, this article is more theory; the "how to" portions are in the sections I'll reference at the bottom of this overview.
Indexes Defined
So just what is an index? An index is a structure in the database that SQL Server can use to find and access data quickly.
Think about a fairly thick book. If I asked you to find a particular topic or even a word in that book, you'd turn to the index. The index in the book is very similar to what a SQL Server Index.
In the case of the book's index, you can find the page numbers where a word or phrase is located. You simply find the word (which is listed in alphabetical order) and the page or pages where that word or phrase appears is listed just to the right. In fact, most indexes are even broken out into alphabetical groupings in a bold heading, which is a visual cue for you to locate that section quickly. In addition to alphabetical order, sometimes books have additional indexes based on content type or another grouping.
If you didn't have an index or table of contents in a book when you were asked to locate a word, you'd have to read each and every page to find it. And even when you found it, you'd have to keep reading to make sure that it didn't occur again. You would have to do this each and every time I asked you to find a word or phrase, since you probably can't memorize every location of something as you look it up. Each time you're asked where a word is, you have to scan the entire book.
In the case of SQL Server, you have the same issue. You have a lot of data, and it may surprise you to learn that by its very definition, the data in a relational database isn't stored in any particular order. It's just scattered all over the data pages (which are 8K blocks on the hard drive) with no particular order other than what was quickest to insert at the time. That makes the job of finding the data very difficult.
In fact, without some sort of help, the server's Query Optimization engine has to do a "scan" operation, which is the same as what you and I would do without an index in a book — it would have to read every page of data to locate the field you're asked for. With tables under a thousand rows or so, this isn't really a problem, and in fact is the default behavior in SQL Server. But with larger tables, those with thousands or millions of rows, this takes a lot of time. It also has some other bad side-effects. Because all of those rows don't fit into memory, the server has to read from the I/O system, which is among the slowest components on your server. While data are being read from the I/O system, the database can't write to the tables while it is reading from them. That slows down not only reads but writes.
It gets worse. In a database the data is changing all the time. Imagine that you're asked to find a word in a book, but someone keeps writing new words in the book, and changing where the old ones were.
What you can do to mitigate this scanning problem is to create an Index. The index in SQL Server works the same as the index in a book. It stores the words you're interested in along with a number (which is really a pointer to a block on the I/O system) where the word or phrase is found. Now all SQL Server has to do when you ask for data is to look up the word or phrase in the index, which is much smaller, and find where it lives on the hard drive.
The physical arrangement of indexes in SQL Server is just a table-structure in the database, and on the hard drive. When you create an index, a new physical structure is created and new rows of data are put into that table. You can tell SQL Server when you create the index which fields in the database table you want to track, just like you would mark words in a book that need to be tracked for its index. You don't put all data into an index, since it that would create the same problem you're trying to solve. You only index the fields that users are likely to look up, or fields that are useful for your programs to use. I'll explain more about this later.
The physical arrangement of indexes fall into two types: Clustered and Non-Clustered. There are important differences in these two types, and which one you choose should be carefully considered during the design phase.
A clustered index actually changes the way the data is stored in the table, and the index. In fact, if you create a clustered index on a table, the table itself simply becomes the index.
Let's take a look at a very simple table:
One tenet of a relational database is that the data isn't stored in any particular order, and SQL Server holds to that tenet as you can see here. Tables where the data is in no particular order and with no indexes are called heap tables. Once you apply a clustered index to the columns, however, the table changes physically on the hard drive to this:
As you can see, the data can only be physically arranged one way. You can't have the same data arranged physically as A-F and also F-A. Since the data is arranged this way, the server doesn't need to store another table for the index pointing to the data — it just calls the table the index, and the index the table.
The advantage here is that data access is extremely fast. It's like rearranging a book to the point where every word is in alphabetical order. That wouldn't help the storyline much, but you would be able to find anything quickly. Come to think of it, there is a book like that — the dictionary.
Of course, this speed comes at a price. Since the table is physically ordered by the index fields, each time you insert a new row of data the I/O subsystem has to rearrange all the data in the table. So if there are a lot of data changes, the system can slow down to a crawl. If the data doesn't change that often or is arranged in large groups, a clustered index might be the best solution.
The other type of index in SQL Server is called Non-Clustered. This type doesn't physically re-arrange the data; it just makes another table-like structure which points to where the data is physically located.
So if we continue the book analogy, a clustered index is similar to the table of contents, since the data is arranged that way. A non-clustered index would be similar to a book's index in the back.
Let's examine our table again, but this time I'll add some more data and show a hidden column: the block address of each row:
You'll notice that there are two "A" values, stored at different locations. At this point if you asked for all of the "A" values the engine would have to read the entire table structure, stored on all these block fragments. If there were thousands of blocks and only two values of "A", the engine would still read them all just to make sure. That would take a lot of time, and create lots of locks as it did so.
Now we'll create an index on the table, which makes another internal table structure that looks like this:
Now when you look up all the "A" values the engine sees that there is an index, uses that index to find the data, and quickly calls up just those two blocks where the data lives. That's a faster access process, and takes far fewer locks on the rows or tables.
Types of Indexes
There are many types of indexes in SQL Server. The one that you'll work with most often is the user-defined index. This is the Index object type in the database, and they are stored in one of the physical arrangements I just explained.
But there are other types of indexes as well. You see, even if you don't specify an index on a table, the SQL Server Query Optimizer wants to be able to find data quickly. So it will "watch" what you are querying on and make temporary indexes of its own, called "statistical indexes" or more commonly "statistics". You can tell SQL Server to create and maintain these statistics automatically, or you can control that manually. You can make those changes on the database settings in the Properties tab for the database. I recommend that you allow the server to create and maintain statistics, unless the database is quite large and you'll run this process manually. I'll cover this topic more in the other articles referenced at the end of this overview.
Another type of index is the Full-Text index. This structure is used for Full-Text fields and isn't stored in SQL Server at all, and I've covered that information in more depth here.
Finally, in SQL Server 2005, you can even index views, computed columns, and create a special XML index. I'll cover those in other overviews as well.
Using Indexes Effectively
The basic premise in any of these situations is that you need to create an index on the columns that the users access the most for searching. For instance, in an address table, the last name, city, and state are normally prime candidates for an index. In that case, you might make an index for each of those three fields. You might also make a single index that has all three of these fields. I'll describe that further in a moment. First, take a look at this table:
Now look at this table:
See the difference? If you have an index on first field of the second table, you'll end up with the same values in the index as in the table itself. In the first filed of the first table, you have a lot of the same values, and they will potentially end up all over the drive. If users need to look up that data frequently, that's the column you should index. We'll cover these decisions more in the other tutorials I've mentioned.
You'll normally want to create indexes on the fields in a query's predicate (the WHERE clause). You may include more than one column in an index. Including more than one column in an index is called a composite index. If your users are including the AND predicate, then you may need to include all those columns in a single index. Don't go crazy with that, as anything above five or so columns will usually cost you.
To follow on with that concept, sometimes you'll create a compound index that has all of the fields a user might select at one time. Creating an index on all those fields is called a covering index. What this means is that all of the data you're query needs is included in the index table itself, so it never has to use the pointer at all – it's kind of like having the advantages of a clustered index without as much of the expense. In some cases that can really speed up the query.
If your database is used in an application that performs many inserts, edits, and deletes, then speedy access isn't always the driving factor. Databases that are used in transaction-oriented solutions, such as a sales database, fit this model. In a database where sales are recorded, there aren't a lot of look-up activities, other than perhaps checking inventory. These types of database systems are called On-Line Transaction Processing systems, or OLTP. The decisions regarding the use of indexes is important in OLTP databases, because adding an index slows down INSERT operations, as the index is kept up to date when the data changes. So indexes on this type of database are less useful, and sometimes can impact performance. That isn't to say you shouldn't have any indexes, because even insert operations are sometimes based on lookups.
The second type of database is more reporting or look-up oriented. Databases that match this description are those used at a public library, or those used to provide reporting information. When those systems provide multidimensional data lookups they are called On-Line Analytical Processing systems, or OLAP. It's easier to design indexes for these databases, since the data doesn't change as often and you're usually familiar with the columns the user is searching on.
The next type is the hybrid transaction/reporting database. This type of database is used for both entry and reporting. This is the most difficult situation for designing indexes, because you need them to speed up access for reporting but you don't need them because they will slow down access for data entry. Unfortunately, this is also the type you'll encounter most often.
Creating indexes is more difficult to do with OLAP databases than with OLTP databases. As a matter of fact, it's usually best to minimize indexes for OLTP. Of course, that's assuming your database is used purely for transactions and not also for reporting. Unfortunately, that's not normally the case.
The next question is how to determine which kind of physical index to use — clustered or non-clustered. There are some other good indicators that the index you're making should be clustered. Since the table is physically re-arranged if it's clustered, then it's best if the data doesn't change a lot. If the table with a clustered index on the first field looks like this:
Then to insert the values "2" and "5" into the table (which you'll remember is the index as well) everything has to move around to accommodate the insertion. It's better if the data that will be inserted comes after the data that's already there — at least on the columns where a clustered index is defined. That way no movement happens at all.
So now you can see that perhaps a great candidate for the one (and only) clustered index on a table is the primary key — the fields you have set as the ones that uniquely identify the rows in the table. And you also can see that picking a "meaningful" value like an identification number for a person is such a bad idea for a Primary Key. If the number changes or the person leaves, the whole table would need to be rearranged physically on the drive. If you pick a meaningless, incrementing number for the Primary Key it becomes a natural target for a clustered index, since so many lookups are based on the Primary Key.
Another consideration for making the index clustered is the length of the data. If the data length is short, and even better if it's made up of integers, the insert operations are quick and the system can move the data around easily. It's also a good idea if the data is unique. When the values are unique, there is less chance that you'll have to move the data to insert it.
You should also consider a clustered index if the data is within a range that the user will search on. Queries such as:
SELECT au_lname FROM authors WHERE au_lname like '[A-L]%'
Work well with a clustered index on the au_lname column.
If the order of the data is similar to the order in which the user wants to get results, it's also a great candidate for a clustered index.
If a column isn't a candidate for a clustered index after all these considerations, then of course you're looking at creating a non-clustered index. Luckily, this is the default option.
Check the references section that follows for more strategies on how you can create and maintain good indexes. What I've shown here are more guidelines than hard and fast rules. You mileage will vary.

BHA: Catholic Education Service takes credit for Government backtrack on Sex and Relationships Education
The British Humanist Association (BHA) has reacted to the news that the Catholic Education Service has claimed the credit for a Government amendment to the Children, Schools and Families Bill that will deprive children of their right to broad, balanced and objective Sex and Relationships Education. On their website, the CES has said that their lobbying produced the change of policy by Ed Balls.
Naomi Phillips, BHA Head of Public Affairs, said, 'We know all too well that government pays disproportionate heed to vocal religious minorities in a great many areas of law and policy but when the effect of that is to deny vulnerable people - including children - their rights, it is particularly shameful. It is a disgrace that the position of the Government has become that students in community schools should receive comprehensive SRE, which will include objective teaching on issues such as contraception, abortion and safer sexual relationships, but those in Catholic and other religious schools should not be so entitled.'
'The government's policy is supposed to be that "every child matters" in relation to health and wellbeing, but the effect of their u-turn is that every child matters unless they happen to be a pupil at a religious school, even though such schools are almost entirely publicly funded.'

Book of Deuteronomy
Book of Deuteronomy Chapter 28 Summary
Blessing and Cursing
- Blessings for… everyone! That's right—blessings for the Israelites in everything they do.
- The Israelites pronounce various blessings, including victory over enemies and Israel's power and prosperity being recognized by other nations. Also, the Lord will open up his storehouse of rain for the people. That's a big deal in wayback Middle East days.
- But it's not all good. The Lord will also send various curses, most of which are just the opposite of the blessings mentioned earlier. Maybe most importantly, these curses include a drought, which would be a crippling penalty in a farming-based society. These people need rain to make grain crops grow.
- Now, Deuteronomy gets back to anticipating Israel's future. A foreign king will rule over Israel, and his people will eat the fruit of Israel's labors. Historically, this is referring to the Israelites' exile to Babylon around 587 BCE.
- Their crops will not grow, and their children will become slaves. Without food, the people will commit atrocious acts just to survive.
Why is this all happening? Because the people did not obey.
- The Lord will bring the diseases of Egypt upon the people. Although the people were as numerous as the stars in the sky, their numbers will dwindle.
- Things are looking bleak.

By María Elba Torres Muñoz
August 2011
The focus of my work as professor at Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Puerto Rico y El Caribe (Center for Advanced Studies on Puerto Rico & the Caribbean or CEAPRC), San Juan, Puerto Rico, has been to develop socio-economic strategies with marginalized groups from different communities throughout the island to economically stabilize and therefore self-empower our communities. This work has been framed around diverse strategies and specific objectives in collaboration with the communities. The focus is to develop the wherewithal to have their issues heard by policymakers and the broader public. Important to the process is the development of self-managed small cultural arts businesses that assure the traditional artisanal skills important to the culture identity of Puerto Rico. Distinct strategies are designed with each community to develop entrepreneurial endeavors, enabling these cultural community-based enterprises to market their art skills and stimulate economic stability. Therefore it was with great interest and commitment that I welcomed being part of the discussions leading to the planning of Community Arts University Without Walls (CAUWW), a project developed by Marta Moreno Vega with the support of Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).
The invitation from Moreno Vega, of the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI), to participate in a meeting at MICA, to be hosted by Ken Krafchek, was greatly appreciated since it directly connected to the work I have been developing within economically marginalized communities. The team from Puerto Rico included President Miguel Rodríguez López, from the CEAPRC, as well as Ignacio Olazaguisti from the same institution. Student participants from the University of Puerto Rico included Arturo Rios, Giovanni Roberto, Pedro Lugo and Lourdes Santiago. All members of the team had experience in teaching and community work. This fact immediately united us around the objectives of the CAUWW project and the community arts program of MICA.
MICA's work team had participants from the community arts program that included administrators, professors and students who received us with great enthusiasm. They showed us the newly renovated facilities that MICA has built for its community arts initiative, demonstrating the commitment to working over time within the economically challenged community. That students will reside within community, studying and working on their community projects in the neighborhood, is an important model. We toured the workspaces of the community arts program and we were shown several representative videos of the joint work that has evolved between the community and the program. There was, also, a presentation, which was conducted by the members of the community and the community arts students from MICA. How impressive to have the level of presence within the community that will make a difference to the MICA students and community students.
After our tour, we ate at the Northeast Market, providing the time for more in-depth understanding of the programmatic structure and the historical significance of the community. Students from Puerto Rico met with the MICA students as well as administrators and professors. Separate meetings were very effective. Subsequent to these private meetings, everyone exchanged views on the possibilities of carrying out an academic program at the CEAPRC during the summer session to be held in 2012. Rodriguez López, professors and students showed great interest in having the students and professors from MICA participate in an academic community arts program in Puerto Rico. These discussions led to an understanding of the importance of developing opportunities for students and professors working in the community arts field to have more extensive learning and working opportunities. The idea of the CAUWW project took form before our eyes as we all understood the significance of furthering our goals to transform and work with our communities for self-realization and empowerment.
The meeting with MICA's President Fred Lazarus also provided greater depth to the need for advancing community arts exchanges and engagement. The discussion about MICA's program and the possibility of extending that experience for MICA's students through CAUWW by developing a summer program at the CEAPRC in the summer session of 2012 was further advanced. Additional discussions facilitated by Marta Moreno Vega developed the preliminary steps to making this academic exchange beneficial for each institution. Our meetings identified how CAUWW has the potential to establish a working relationship with CEAPRC, MICA and other universities to establish a program that would provide greater opportunity for students and community artists with limited financial means to attend an intensive program that will accredit their work.
The initial meeting has developed into a working network of scholars, artists, community representatives and organizations to develop the Community Arts University Without Walls initiative that will be based at CEAPRC in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is clear from our varied in-depth exchanges of ideas that CAUWW will expand to include other universities in the USA, Caribbean and Latin America.
There is no question in my mind that cultural arts work in collaboration with communities has infinite possibilities that will bridge, enhance and expand our work to assist in the empowerment of our communities. Spaces will be developed for creative expressions, economic opportunities will grow for our communities grounded in the cultural values we cherish.
The arts are central to development and are essential in working through political, social and economic strategic opportunities that can stabilize communities at risk. Culture and the arts encompass memory, identity, spirituality, diversity of perspectives, creativity and critical thinking — all factors that are important to successful public policy and economic initiatives. These continue to grow in importance in securing a democratic process to assure a just civil society. The network of scholars, artists and students that has helped in the birthing of CAUWW demonstrates the importance of culture and art in setting forth working patterns that develop new ways of seeing the world and the creation of new projects and institutions to support a vision and work that places culture and art as central.
I am grateful to the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute for the invitation; we await the participants of CAUWW with great enthusiasm for the launch of in Puerto Rico for the summer of 2012.

VINCENT - As Warren's junior varsity coach, Mark Duckworth did not lose a game at Warrior Coliseum last year.
Now as Marietta's varsity coach, Duckworth's first return to his old home floor did not net similar results, as the Tigers were blown out 70-47 by the host Warriors in a non-league game Tuesday night.
Evan French drained a deep, buzzer-beating 3-pointer with hands in his face to give Warren a 22-14 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Warriors built their lead to 38-24 at halftime, then used an 18-5 run in the third quarter to put the game out of reach.

Marietta's Jon Wood (00) looks to pass as Warren's Aaron Mazurkiewicz (22) defends during non-conference boys' basketball action in Vincent Tuesday night. The Warriors won 70-47.
Marietta's plan to keep the game low-scoring was thwarted by Warren's fast-paced, run-and-gun style of play.
"Our shot selection was so quick that it played into their hands," Duckworth lamented. "It made the tempo of the game what Warren wanted instead of what we wanted. We were able to handle their pressure, but we were unable to slow back down and get the shots we wanted on every possession. Some of our quick shots led to easy baskets for Warren, and off to the races."
Easy baskets is exactly what Warren head coach Blane Maddox was hoping for coming in.

"We got our share," Maddox said.
"They (Marietta) did a good job the first half but I feel like we just wore them down."
Offensively for Marietta, the bread and butter was once again the frontcourt duo of Jonathan Wood and Braden Riley. Riley and Wood accounted for all 14 of Marietta's points in the opening period.
After a basket by French made it 10-6, Michael Hall grabbed a steal, took it the length of the court and dished it to Aaron Mazurkiewicz for a layup. Then, Marietta cut its deficit back down to four with baskets by Wood and Riley.
Andrew Henthorn answered with a 3-pointer from the right wing, but Riley recorded a putback basket on the other end to make the score 19-14.
That's when French delivered a big blow, taking the inbound pass from Tanner Huck at the top of the key and hitting nothing but net from way beyond the arch to make it an 8-point game going into the second quarter. "He's done that so many times in his career," Maddox said of French. "He's so steady.
"I don't have to draw up much, I just have to give them a little opening and they do the job."
Jesse Wharff and Zach LaBarre produced back-to-back buckets to open the second period and make it 22-18, but French again responded with a triple to extend Warren's lead to seven.
Wood and Riley combined for the game's next four points to cut it to 27-22, but a 3-point play by Hall and four points by Drayer built the Warren advantage to 13 points, a hole too deep for the Tigers to climb out of.
Wood scored a game-high 21 points and Riley added 13 for the Tigers. Marietta was unable to get anything going from outside, as sharpshooter Corey Hill was held to just one point.
"We need balance," Duckworth said. "We've talking about that all year, getting balance and scoring inside and outside.
"I feel like we're making strides. We're doing a lot of things correct, but we have a very small margin of error."
Nine players scored for the Warriors, with Hall's 19 markers leading the way. French notched 14, Blake Kidder scored 10 and Patton had eight.
"I was proud of the way it was a team effort tonight," Maddox said. "We talked about Saturday what we wanted to do when we come out, and we did it for the most part."
From the floor, Marietta was 20-for-34 (59 percent) from inside the arch but 0-for-8 behind it. Warren went 28-for-62 (45 percent) overall.
Marietta (4-4) returns home Friday when it will host Meadowbrook. Warren (7-3) will also be home Friday when it welcomes Logan.
