Another excellent web development course! The courses I have taken are so informative and for me it is a great way to learn. Jeff is an awesome instructor. I had no problem following the lessons and doing the course work. Everything worked out just as the lessons said it would. This course was a challenge and I would recommend a basic web course before taking ASP.NET. It was well worth the time and effort and I definitely want to continue taking more classes. Thank you!
Good course and it was very informative. Thank you for providing the links to related information that is available on the web. Very good writing style. It was easy to understand.
I enjoyed this class and learned a basic knowledge of asp.net. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to gain an understanding of asp.net. The instructor was very helpful and informative.
I really enjoyed this course. The instructor's writing style was very clear and the lessons were written very well. He provided examples throughout and made it simple to learn!
I really liked the informal, real-world instructional style. Jeff made a concerted effort to explain and describe things in a way that was accessible to non-programmers. I would definitely be interested in taking another of his courses.
I think this is an excellent mode of learning. It takes a special sort of instructor to be able to pull this together and make everyone feel that they are engaged in the class. I wish I had Jeff around all the time to translate everything Microsoft says!
This was the best ed2go class I've taken to date. I feel as if I learned a lot of realistically useful information, that I can now expand upon my online studies through books and dialogue with others and actually become PROFICIENT in ASP.NET. The teacher's writing style was engaging, the examples were well-written and easy to understand, and the assignments were accessible and HELPFUL. Thank you for a wonderful class!
David - ok, I just have to say, what an excellent response. Being in a technical support position myself, I realize the struggles related to debugging a user's problem. You zeroed right in on it, and gave another option if that did not resolve the problem. Very nice to see that sort of response, accuracy and thoroughness. You are a good example of why I am so impressed with the quality and professionalism of these on-line courses!

Derrek Lee just set the record for most RBI's by a first basemen for a Cub..Congrats!!
Z has already passed the 200 K mark for the season and currently stands at exactly a .300 average (1 for 2 today) and we're in the top of the 6th. He's pitching quite well so I'm thinking he'll get one more at-bat.

I believe Soto got into a game last week, if I remember correctly. I want to say Cards or Reds, but I'm probably wrong. He just pinch hit though, so he still has an easy job.
I'm happy for Lee setting
I'm happy for Lee setting the Cub record for RBIs by a 1B but yikes, it's pretty amazing that in 12 or 13 decades some Cub !B didn't get more than 106. Like SS after Banks, just a real unproductive position for generations. And yes, I liked Mark Grace and Buckner to a lesser extent too but 106 RBIs? Wow.
One of those things you hear and can't quite believe until you go through the personnel in your head and it makes total sense. Total depressing sense.

Didn't the great Pete LaCock figure in the mid-70s somewhere? Maybe post Thornton? Also, what was Billy Williams' last year with the Cubs? '74? He also played some first.
I remember looking at Thornton's career a while back. He'd of been quite a hero here at TCR. Great OBP several seasons.
Way to go Cubs! Lets keep
Way to go Cubs! Lets keep HOU home for October! Man is CLE in a choke job. Cant take a series from TB and are in xtra frames with the Charlotte Knights tonight. I dont get why Guillen would put in his bench guys. Wouldnt it be better for them to play BOS/NYY in the DS than the Angels?

Go Go Demp...If not Wagner, please resign him.
The more I think on it, the
The more I think on it, the more I want Dempster back. This is something the Cubs can take credit for--seeing the potential he had as a closer and making it happen. If only they'd done it from day 1, right?
God I hate LaTroy even now.
Dempster has always been
Dempster has always been Hendry's choice for closer, not Dusty's. That's why he wasn't used earlier. Dusty didn't trusty.
You can read a bit about it here if you are skeptical.
#15: I was thinking the
#15: I was thinking the exact same thing about Ozzieball. I'd be staying up at night worried about getting stuck with the Angels in the first round. Because unless they get three Phenomenal starts from their rotation against the Halos, they would definitely lose that series. They can't outhit them, they can't outlast them in the bullpen, they play like garbage in the state of California and they, like most pitching staffs, have absolutely no answer for Vlad the Impaler. If they get them in the first round, Contreras wins Game 1 at the Cell, then they get swept out. How do you avoid getting them in the first round? Beat the life out of the Indians.
Of course, Dempster has
Of course, Dempster has always been Hendry's choice as a closer. Some of us don't need a google search to know that.
But to hear Bluewater Pennant tell it, you'd think he'd been traded.
After all, he's the only established talent the Cubs have had in the pen all season, and Pennant can't stop reminding us that "all the talent in the bullpen is playing for other teams."
I predict that Dusty will
I predict that Dusty will use Zambrano as a pinch hitter in these last two games. With the exception of Walker, he doesn't have a better choice.
I listened to Stoney's comments on the Score and his take was we 2 1/2 times the payroll of Milwaukee and still had a horrible team. That, in my opinion, points the finger at Mr. Hendry, and is a major reason why Baker will not get fired. The pen looked good for about two weeks when Wood was setting up Dempster.
Last but not least, what would you give the Marlins to get their malcontent Miguel Cabrerra? Would you trade Aramis and Patterson for Cabrerra and Lowell? I'd say they're going to make some big trades this year, we might be a good trading partner for them.
"The pen looked good for
"The pen looked good for about two weeks when Wood was setting up Dempster."
And then Wood started giving up home runs.
CWTP: "Dempster has always
"Dempster has always been Hendry's choice for closer, not Dusty's. That's why he wasn't used earlier. Dusty didn't trusty."
Dempster was both Hendry's and Bakers SECOND choice as closer going into this year. And BOTH said so at a Q&A at teh Cubs Convention this past year. Remeber JoBo was pitching good in ST and was going to be teh closer and with Wood and Prior big question marks all ST, they decide to have Dempster as insurance for a #5 starter, which is turned out they needed. They only had 1 LH relief guy int eh pen and Rusch had shown teh year before that he could handle going back and forth from the pen or start (turned out to be a fluke).
But then JoBo got hurt in ST and everything got mixed up again.
Hendry and Baker did actually have this one right, but injuries to JoBo, Wood and Prior messed it all up.
Actually, Dempster was
Actually, Dempster was Busty's FORTH choice as a closer. Don't forget about Hawkins and Fox, the latter who's arm fell off! Best regards, Cle

Would you trade Aramis and Patterson for Cabrerra and Lowell? I'd say they're going to make some big trades this year, we might be a good trading partner for them."
On the 1st point it reflects more upon Hendry's bosses than it does Hendry. He could not spend $$$ he was not given. He had no flexiabilty as the roster he had was at 90 some odd million already. He will have $$$ to spend this off-season by my calculations at least 43.5 MIL and as much as 45.5 to spend. I want a 10-15 mil OF (Dunn, Giles, Matsui, Soriano), Furcal (8-9 MIL), an 8th inning guy (2Mil), and either a Burnett/Dempster or Millwood/Ryan combo (15 MIL) that would add up to 35-41 Mil and the rest would go the bench. On point 2 NO WAY IN HELL would FLA trade Cabrerra he is so damn good and so cheap compared to what he can do. Plus any trade would have to be Hershal Walker like. Were talking something like Prior, Murton, Pie, Cedeno, Gallagher for him.
Chifan: "He had no
"He had no flexiabilty as the roster he had was at 90 some odd million already. "
And who had already spent the $90 million you are talking about....HENDRY!!
It wasn't like he was taking aver for some other GM who made those deals. The deals that held him back from getting better players was his own doing.
No excuses this year. He has like $30-$40 million availible depending on which options he picks up.
Dempster was just given a
Dempster was just given a 3-year extension. No word on the cash.
Good job, Hendry. Now keep it up...
Carmen Said: 'I listened to
Carmen Said:
'I listened to Stoney's comments on the Score and his take was we 2 1/2 times the payroll of Milwaukee and still had a horrible team.'
The Cubs don't have a horrible team. Pittsburgh and Kansas City have horrible teams. The Cubs have a mediocre team. Despite all the calls for Hendry's head, the Cubs are not the worst $ to wins team, and they'll probably never be the best, because they have a payroll floor of about $70 million.
It's nice of Steve Stone to take pot shots, but did he ever say what he would have done were he in Hendry's place last off season? There were four major factors that lead to the Cubs poor season- Wood, Garciaparra, Patterson and Ramirez. If any two of those things don't happen, the Cubs are probably claiming the WC spot for themselves this weekend. All this hindsight is 20/20 stuff is ridiculous.
"Hendry and Baker did
"Hendry and Baker did actually have this one right, but injuries to JoBo, Wood and Prior messed it all up."
Geez... Baker did NOT have this right. His first choice was LaTroy even after he proved in 2004 that he couldn't close. He said multiple times during ST that Hawkins and Borowski would be battling for the closer job. As has been pointed out, Dempster was Dustbag's 4th choice for closer.
Don't try to spin it any other way or give Dusty credit for this.
Hendry had the insight to want to try Dempster as closer out of the gate and if Dusty had any balls, he would've given him first shot after Sweaty Joe went down in ST... instead he sent LaTroy to melt down on the mound numerous times.
with Wood and Prior big
with Wood and Prior big question marks all ST, they decide to have Dempster as insurance for a #5 starter, which is turned out they needed.
For the millionth time, can we get beyond this myth that Dempster needed to be the 5th starter?
The only reason Rusch wasn't used as a starter was because Dusty thought he needed THREE lefties in his pen. (And he apparently forgot how good Rusch was as a starter in 2004.)
Wood and Prior were both in the rotation at the start of the year. Wood pitched the home opener, and Prior was used the first time the Cubs needed a 5th starter. No one had to fill-in for either of them.
Dempster was in the rotation for 1 reason and 1 reason only: Dusty wanted him there.
I like the Dempster
I like the Dempster extension. Now let's go out and make this team significantly better in middle relief and the outfield.
Nice move by Hendry locking
Nice move by Hendry locking up Demp for 3 years.

3yr 15.5m
personally...im far from happy with this. hope it works for mr. free pass. his only saving grace so far is he's not been giving up the home run.
That is a little more than I
That is a little more than I had hoped for. I was hoping for 3 years/$12-$13.5 million...
So for the money it was a good deal, not great, but keeping him around is very good. That means no Ryan or Wagner this offseason.
The Cubs will never be the
The Cubs will never be the best team because they have a "payroll floor" of about $70 million? What is a payroll floor? If you mean that is all we will spend, you are about $30 million off. I believe our payroll this year was about $100 million.
Payroll floor = minimum
Payroll floor = minimum payroll. Payroll ceiling would = maximum payroll.

Friday's games will be in Washington, Chicago, Arlington, and Cleveland or Boston. Someone's game is starting laaaaaaaate - 50-50 chance it's the CDT Cubs.
Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...

Until six months ago, he worked in his family-owned guesthouse. In his quiet manner he explains that while he only recently joined the Red Cross as a staff member, he has been involved with the Red Cross for eight years, the last two as an active volunteer.
"I enjoy helping people and I thought the Red Cross in Sri Lanka was doing a great job, so I decided to become a volunteer," Dilshard says.
Dilshard and his family moved east from the capital Colombo only a few years ago to run the family business his grandfather began 27 years ago. His mother and uncles took over the business and, until the disaster of 26 December, it was run by Dilshard and his cousins.
In an area well-known as a magnet for travelers and tourists, The Mermaid's Rest Beach Resort enjoyed a prime location on a picturesque beach in the small village of Ulla, known throughout the surfing world as Arugam Bay.
When the tsunami struck, the resort was filled with guests, so many of Dilshard's family members were on hand to assist with the workload. Happily, the entire family and all the guests survived even though the resort itself was destroyed. The only reminders that a hotel once stood on the devastated site are the foundations and a signboard bearing the name of the hotel. Dilshard's home, a few hundred metres from the beach, was spared the wrath of the crashing waves that devastated almost two-thirds of Sri Lanka's coastline.
Drawing on his Red Cross training in first aid, rescue and, later on, relief distribution, Dilshard was keen to help. "After I made sure that everyone at the hotel was alright, I began to help the rescue effort. Together with other volunteers we provided a lot of first aid," he recalls.
As the impact and extent of the devastation became known it also became clear to Ampara branch executive officer Sunil Dissanayake there would be a great demand for skilled volunteers, explains Dilshard. He helped set up an emergency unit and trained volunteers in First Aid. With assistance from American Red Cross, the extra SLRCS volunteers also underwent training in relief distribution. It was fortunate, says Dilshard, that earlier in the year selected volunteers had also attended the psychosocial training college in Jaffna in the north of the country.
"I saw the destruction the tsunami caused in that short space of time and I wanted to help all those people who were affected. All of the volunteers who are involved with Red Cross feel the same way", he explains.
Today Dilshard works closely with delegates from Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies from around the world who have come to Sri Lanka to help with relief and recovery programs. Together with his team of dedicated young volunteers, Dilshard is often seen on the road traveling between camps of internally displaced people, supervising a relief distribution, or assisting his Red Cross Red Crescent colleagues.
What are Dilshard's plans for the future? "I am happy that the work I do has such a positive impact on the lives of the people of this district. There are tangible results of our work. I am happy too that I am contributing towards the development of my country and the Red Cross Society", he says. "I plan to stay involved with the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement for as long as possible and hopefully realise my dream of becoming a water and sanitation specialist."

Felodipine is used to treat high blood pressure. It relaxes your blood vessels so your heart does not have to pump as hard.
Felodipine comes as an extended release tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day. Do not crush, chew, or divide felodipine tablets. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take felodipine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Felodipine controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Continue to take felodipine even if you feel well. Do not stop taking felodipine without talking to your doctor.
Felodipine is also used sometimes to treat Raynaud's syndrome and congestive heart failure. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this drug for your condition.
Before taking felodipine,
Talk to your doctor about drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit while taking felodipine.
Talk to your doctor before using salt substitutes containing potassium. If your doctor prescribes a low-salt or low-sodium diet, follow these directions carefully.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Felodipine may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:

Book review: The Land Remembers by Ben Logan
Book review: The Land Remembers by Ben Logan
|Ben Logan's The Land Remembers was originally published in 1975. He is now 90 years old and lives in Viroqua, Wis. Photo by Caroline Beckett used with permission of Itchy Cat Press.
As a transplant to Wisconsin, and an aspiring history buff, I always enjoy learning more about my surroundings and history of this state.
In late 2010, a memorial for the late Rod Nilsestuen was given at the Cooperative Network annual meeting. Rod served as a 24-year executive secretary of the Wisconsin Federation of Cooperatives, and 4 years in the same position at the Minnesota Association of Cooperatives. He died tragically in the summer of 2010 while serving as Secretary of Agriculture for the state of Wisconsin. His family had taken their annual trip to help build houses for Habitat for Humanity, and he drowned while swimming in Lake Superior.
During the memorial, Tom Lyon – a good friend of Nilsestuen and former CEO of Cooperative Resources International (CRI) – explained that besides the Bible, the book The Land Remembers was the most quoted and referenced by Nilsestuen. After reading it, I can see why.
This book creates an urge to go back to the time that author Ben Logan references. Logan grew up in the southwest Wisconsin hill country. After a strong career writing in New York City, he returned to his home and now resides in Viroqua at the age of 90. The Land Remembers explains what life was like in the "driftless area," where the glaciers were unable to flatten the land to resemble neighboring Iowa and Illinois.
Dairy farming is not the main subject of the book, but it did happen twice a day, every day, on Logan's farm. While I did not grow up with many of the challenges the book recalls, my grandparents and great-grandparents did. Logan presents his childhood in a way that gives us all a feeling we were there, and at the same time we missed out.
The book was originally published in 1975. The version I sped through (because I couldn't put it down) was the 2006 release, eighth edition, third printing, with a great afterword from Logan. I am told they are working on the fourth printing now. Any farmer, dairy producer, agriculture industry professional, or amateur gardener should come to love this book. There is probably no way to improve the short review given by the New York Times. It captivates what the book is and how one feels when reading it:
"What drew me so irresistibly through The Land Remembers?... You feel nostalgia when the details of the world are so precisely concrete and right that by the time the author tells you his own reactions to that world you feel you already know it just about as well as he does. . . . It's not nostalgia for my own past that The Land Remembers made me feel; it's nostalgia for a world he makes me wish I'd known."
- The New York Times
Take a time out during your next rainstorm and pick this one up. It is worth a trip to the library. Otherwise it can be found at publisher Itchy Cat Press' website http://www.itchycatpress.com/ or wherever books are sold.

As the trial and sentencing of Jerry Sandusky came to an end, I can honestly say that I was relieved. Some form of justice has been done. Moreover, the details of this case have been spread across the front page, the sports pages, magazines, radio, television and through all forms of social media. The image of his face is now seared across my imagination. It would be nice if we could just move on.
But in good conscience, we can't do that.
The courage of these young men to come forward and talk about the details of what was done demands that we match that courage with our own. What does that mean? We can create policies that require that every youth-serving organization establish clear policies to protect children and youth. We can ask every organization working with children and teens if they know how to report an allegation of abuse or a situation that they suspect is abuse. We can also ask what they would do if they see behaviors in an adult or teen that might be abusive as well.
Estimates suggest that each day tens of millions of youth participate in activities that could be made safer by systematic prevention activities. Although many organizations already incorporate prevention efforts, all organizations working with children or teens would benefit from stronger screening policies, regular self-assessment, and greater efforts to empower staff to keep youth safety in the forefront. The Sandusky case also reminds us that we need to do more to educate parents and the public about the everyday role that they can play in creating safer environments for children.
Imagine a world where every parent begins to ask these questions before they send off a son or daughter to an after-school program or summer camp. Imagine if our policymakers began to require these policies. Although this would not make up for the way Sandusky harmed these boys and young men, it would help protect other children from similar situations. It might make it harder for someone to sexually abuse boys or girls.
In the long run, the real tragedy of the Sandusky case will be measured by how we respond to this tragedy. Child sexual abuse is preventable, and there is a role for all of us. Take time today to find out what you can do in your community to make the world safer for all of our children.

EAST LIVERPOOL - With one member opposed, the city school board reversed its decision not to appeal an October decision by Municipal Court Judge Melissa Byers Emmerling that found the school board partially responsible for refunding the cost of tickets for a canceled rap concert.
The board had voted 3-1 at its Nov. 5 meeting not to appeal Byers Emmerling's ruling that the district and concert promoter Terry Smitherman were both responsible to repay the $170 to city resident Guy Taylor.
At that time, only board Vice President Bob Estell supported the motion to appeal the decision, with member Scott Dieringer absent.
Last night, after entering executive session to discuss pending litigation with an attorney reportedly on speaker phone, the board returned to reverse that decision, voting 4-1 in favor of appealing to the Seventh District Court of Appeals.
Board Member Richard Wolf again was opposed, reiterating his original opposition, saying the board was "throwing good money after bad" by appealing the decision.
The concert was canceled by Superintendent James Herring after Smitherman failed to provide proof of what district officials claimed was mandatory insurance coverage in time for a deadline they said had been imposed.
In her ruling, the judge said the only contract produced by the district wasn't signed until a month after tickets were sold and it did not include a copy of the rules and regulations referred to in the contract language.
The contract states, "A liability policy...is strongly recommended and may be required," and the judge said there is no written documentation that the district required Smitherman to purchase liability insurance, in what amounts, or by what date.
Other than Wolf, board members made no comment on why the decision to appeal was changed, and when asked after the meeting for a reason, board President Janice Martin said, "We just need to appeal it. I have no decision on why."
The district has 30 days after the court's ruling to file an appeal, according to court personnel.
When asked after the last meeting how much the district had been charged in legal fees by defense attorneys, Treasurer Todd Puster said a bill had not yet been received.
Wolf had speculated at the previous meeting that legal fees will ultimately cost the district more than what it would cost to repay ticket holders. A total of $6,550 in tickets was sold, and Smitherman would also be liable for paying half the cost of any claims made, as per Byers Emmerling's ruling.
The board also convened in a second executive session at last night's special meeting to discuss personnel matters, specifically discipline, with no action taken afterward.

Center for the Science of Therapeutics
The Center for the Science of Therapeutics (CSofT) is undertaking therapeutic discovery projects aimed at testing therapeutic hypotheses with small molecules in humans. The center brings together the Broad Institute's Chemical Biology Program, Therapeutics Platform, and Therapeutics Projects Group, leveraging the strengths of all three groups in a concerted therapeutic discovery effort.
The center integrates human biology, including exploiting human genetic variations that represent 'experiments of Nature,' and chemistry and chemical biology to discover small molecules that modulate the therapeutic targets at the heart of disease. The center works in close collaboration with chemists, biologists, and physician-scientists to pursue a transparent model of therapeutic discovery toward ultimately informing the development of safe and effective medicines.
CSofT focuses on four main therapeutics-directed activities:
- Human biology-guided therapeutics
- Microbial therapeutics
- Chromatin-based therapeutics
Technology development
CSofT's open access Cancer Therapeutics Response Portal is now online

Jim Mahoney is a member of the Northern Atlanta Support Group. Here's his report from the IMF's Advocacy training at the ASH 2012 this weekend.
My name is Jim Mahoney and I, like most of you, am a patient with multiple myeloma. My journey started over seven years ago with a routine physical and a diagnosis of smoldering myeloma. You know the drill—stage-setting, bone densities, bone scans, blood work, and yes, the bone marrow aspiration. Four years later things ramped up and I ended up with a stem cell transplant. Now two years post-transplant, the journey continues.
Some of us want to do more and cannot, and others want to do more and will. On Saturday, at the Hard Rock Café in Atlanta I participated in my first official IMF Advocacy training session. There were about 50 of us—patients, caregivers, and other people who wanted to learn more about advocacy. Everyone I met was on a mission of sorts and yet we all shared the same journey. We were all there because each of us cares about you and all of the other folks on our myeloma journey. As a member of the Northern Atlanta Support Group, I knew a few of the attendees, but was thrilled about all the new people I got to meet. Anytime myeloma patients and caregivers get together for an event, I feel a sense of peace from the experience of connecting with others and knowing that I am not alone.
Arin Assero, IMF VP for Global Advocacy, started the day by reminding us that myeloma is not specific to the US, but that there are patients all over the world living each day with myeloma.
We spent some time talking about the Affordable Care Act and how we as patients will be affected by it. It was extremely helpful because Meghan Buzby, IMF Director of US Advocacy, put the key points in non-technical language so we could really understand what the upcoming changes will be in health care. Our heads were swimming—the Affordable Care Act is not an easy document to understand. I think whoever wrote it was paid by the word.
Aimee Martin, our Grassroots Liaison, then took the conversation to a lighter level by teaching us the "10 Steps to Building a Better Relationship with Our Legislators" and how to use the Action Center on the IMF Advocacy website. The most interesting part was learning how researching our legislators can make a huge difference when asking them to support issues important to us. Learning how to do that research right from the website was really helpful.
What am I going to do with what I learned? I am going to eat this advocacy elephant one bite at a time: My legislators, who sponsored the Cancer Coverage Parity Act in 2011, will hear from me when the bill is re-introduced in 2013. Why? Because I support the bill that will help many patients gain access to treatments that are currently unavailable to them because of the antiquated benefit design surrounding oral chemotherapy treatments. Want to learn more? Go to the IMF web site. They do a much better job at explaining the issue than I can here.
What can you do? Go sign up at the IMF web site—it takes a click and done. Answer the email request when it comes—click to join the fight. We can all do this.
In the time you took to read this you could have signed up to be an advocate. We need everyone to join us.
At the end of the afternoon, I did not realize that we had been together almost four hours. The time passed quickly and we ended by playing an exuberant round of IMF Advocacy Jeopardy. (I will say that my team won! Go Team 4!)
From this event I learned that there are many people advocating on our behalf daily. Doctors and nurses talk to the insurance companies; drug companies and researchers work to get us what we need for today and tomorrow. Terrific folks at the IMF supporting us behind the scenes to ensure we are provided every opportunity to receive the best treatment available. Arin, Meghan and Aimee are very intelligent and passionate about their work with the IMF, and I am glad they are there to advocate on my behalf and to make it so easy to advocate on my own behalf.

2011 Chardonnay Family Reserve Sonoma Coast Cinghiale Vineyard 1.5 Liter - Very Limited
The 2011 Family Reserve is a selection from some of our favorite barrels. This wine jumps out of the glass with aromas of orange marmalade, lycée fruit, and ripe pear. Hints of clove, nutmeg and graham cracker appear in the background along with a river stone minerality. The mouthfeel of this wines offers a viscous and creamy texture while providing enough acidity to make it an excellent food wine.

The poster for Spoleto Festival 2013 is a low-key, geometric image open to interpretation.
It is called "Angled Ring" by American minimalist artist Robert Mangold. Superimposed are a pale red pentagon made with pastel and a black circle drawn with pencil. Faint compass lines are discernible. At the shape's center is a void that can be filled with the viewer's imagination, said Spoleto Festival General Manager Nigel Redden.
The poster was unveiled Tuesday at Bob Ellis Shoes on King Street.
The work, made in 2011, is part of a series of "Ring Paintings" by Mangold. Redden said he has long admired Mangold's minimalist aesthetic and thinks this piece represents the festival well.
"I love the idea of conflicting geometric ideas that somehow can come together," Redden said. "In some ways that's what we do."
It's available for sale at the Spoleto Festival box office, located at the Charleston Visitor Center, 375 Meeting St., or by calling 579-3100. It costs $25.
A window display contest will be expanded this year beyond King Street. Public voting begins May 24. The winner gets two tickets to the festival finale.
As Spoleto posters go, this one is subtle and simple. Past years have featured works by Maya Lin, Jim Dine, Chuck Close, Frank Stella and David Hockney, among many others.
The last time geometry played a central role was in 2008, when Bridget Riley produced the festival's first horizontal poster featuring blue, green and white wave shapes.
In 1989, conceptual and minimalist artist Sol LeWitt created an imperfectly formed brown cube set against a yellow background.

Product DescriptionWhen the need calls for a hard-working, rugged, and accurate high-powered rifle, the Browning X-Bolt Hunter is the only choice. Its low-luster finish on the solid steel receiver, barrel, and walnut prevents glare and reflection. It has the complete X-Bolt package: the crisp, adjustable Feather Trigger with no take-up or creep, preferred by experienced hunters; a center-fed Rotary magazine; the X-Lock scope mounting System; and a soft Inflex recoil pad. The target crown enables the uniform release of gas as the bullet exits the barrel, preventing a shift in trajectory and is recessed to protect it from accidental damage that degrades accuracy. The 60° bolt lift keeps the thumb and fingers clear of the scope when cycling the action and allows the bolt to be operated in a smoother, quicker motion.

The recent voggy and light wind weather should be making its way out of Maui County today through Sunday, according to the National Weather Service in Honolulu.
The absence of the trade winds and the southerly winds blowing the vog from the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island over the state is "a little unusual" because spring typically brings more trade winds over the islands, said forecaster Robert Ballard on Friday. Spring began Wednesday.
The trades should be making their way back today, he said. Ballard predicted some scattered showers today, with some leftover on Sunday.

"It was either this, or walk all the way up to the pool in Wailuku," said staff member Kaili Moikeha. "The kids chose this."

Rayla DiMaggio, 12, of Kula cools off. High temperatures in the 80s were aggravated by voggy and humid conditions brought on by light winds from the south that carried warm air and volcanic haze from the Big Island's Kilauea volcano.

Over the past several days, Maui has seen overcast and gray, gloomy skies accompanied by high humidity levels.
On Friday, relative humidity levels at the Kahului Airport reached a high of 96 percent at 6:54 a.m., according to the National Weather Service.
On Thursday, relative humidity levels at the airport reached a high of 96 percent at 5:54 a.m. And on Wednesday relative humidity hovered around 93 percent in the early-morning hours.
Most of the state was experiencing the same type of weather this past week, Ballard said. "You guys are not alone," he said.
The only places getting some sunshine on Friday were Puna, Hilo and Kau on the Big Island as well as the north shore on Kauai, Ballard said.

In the industry today engineers are trying to implement consolidation that minimizes idle resources and to lower costs. This paper discusses some important items to consider when implementing a consolidated or Exadata engineered Oracle database platform. Some of the items may seem obvious or common sense yet on frequent assignment at customer sites are not considered and have become major issues to solve. This paper is not intended to provide all consolidation issues but give highlight to some and more importantly to provoke a deeper consideration and conversation when designing a consolidated or engineered platform.

Solving the Puzzle in the Interest Rate Market
Massimo Morini
Banca IMI; Bocconi University
October 12, 2009
Different anomalies have appeared in the interest rate market after the burst of the credit crunch. A wide wedge has opened between the market quotes of Forward Rate Agreements and their standard spot Libor replication, and large Basis Spreads have appeared for exchanging floating payments with different tenors. Here we tackle these issues under two aspects.
In Part 1 we focus on issues of direct interest to market practitioners. We show that the gap between FRA rates and their spot Libor replication can be explained by using the quoted Basis spreads. Then we explain the market patterns of the Basis spreads by modeling them as options on the credit worthiness of the counterparty. We also investigate analytically the FRA market payoff.
In Part 2 we study the mathematical representation of the interest rate market in the post-crisis reality. We introduce credit risk at market level, allowing for no-fault standard rule and collateralization. We use subfiltrations to model Libor rates, which now embed relevant credit risk although no default event is possible on Libor itself. We compute change of numeraire and convexity adjustments for collateralized derivatives tied to risky Libor.

Exhibitor Service Kit
Exhibit space costs $25.00/square foot (first 100 square feet) and $23.00/square foot for each additional square foot. Contact Ron Bates, Exhibit Sales, at 800-687-7469, ext. 230 or 703-683-8500, ext. 230, or email him at email@example.com.
The press room is located in room 201A and will be open during exhibit hours.
A complete list of current 2012 exhibitors is available by clicking here.
In addition to the face to face marketing opportunity, your booth fee for 10' deep booths provides you with 8' tall back drape and 3' tall side drape to separate your booth from those of your neighbors (note, island booths do not include these dividers, as these booths have aisles on all four sides). You also receive a 7"x44" company identification sign. All other booth furnishings and services are each exhibitor's responsibility. The Online Exhibitor Service Kit includes information for almost anything needed to make your booth complete. The only thing werequire you to provide in your booth space is carpet. Requiring each exhibitor to provide carpet or other professional floor covering in their booth helps create a professional, aesthetically attractive environment for buyers and sellers alike.
APWA requires all exhibitors to provide a certificate of liability to NTP Show Management, prior to being allowed to set up exhibits. Exhibitors must insure their own exhibits and display materials. APWA requires each exhibitor to carry commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit or bodily injury, accident and property damage combined per occurance/$2,000,000 aggregate. Exhibitors shall procure and continue in force insurance as required and must submit an original certificate to be submitted to APWA Show Management no later than 30 days prior to the first day of exhibit installation. (2012 Deadline: July 27, 2012). APWA will provide security guard service throughout the entire meeting, including the official periods of exhibit installation and dismantling. The furnishing of such service is in no case to be understood or interpreted by exhibitors as guaranteeing them against loss or theft of any kind.
TEG is the general service contractor for the event. They hire the labor that set booth drapes, hang signs, lay carpet, move freight, and do all the other physical work required to set up the show. TEG also produces all the graphics and supplies furnishings, registration areas, etc. Different than other contractors, they provide a personal level of attention paired with the ease of ordering ALL services through one point of contact -all of your exhibitor needs on one order form and invoice. A Customer Account Manager or CAM will be assigned to each exhibitor for a one-on-one relationship to assist you through the exhibiting process.
Material handling (often called drayage) is transportation of exhibit materials or products which exceed hand-carry limits (see next paragraph) to and from the freight door and your booth; provision of forklifts with operators if needed; removal, storage, security and return of empty crates; and assistance with other shipping needs. Order forms and rates are provided for this service in the Online Exhibitor Service Kit.
You can hand carry what one person can carry in one trip, provided you do not use any material handling equipment, such as forklifts, flatbeds, dollies, etc. All other freight must be moved by TEG-supplied union material handling labor. Vehicles on display must use spotting services provided by TEG. TEG Representatives will have sole responsibility in determining the loading and unloading procedures on the dock of the respective facility. Complete information and order forms are provided in the Online Exhibitor Service Kit.
There is no Marshalling Yard for the Anaheim Convention Center.
Due to the large amount of machinery on this show (both self-propelled and requiring towing), the freight and machinery must be delivered first to the booths farthest from the dock, working in towards the closest booths to the dock. This allows for all freight to be brought in without having to dismantle or move booths or equipment that is already set.
A color coded targeted floorplan is included in the Online Exhibitor Service Kit. Please refer to your booth on this floorplan to determine which of the four target times is assigned to you. Freight delivered outside your target time will be subject to a 30% off target surcharge. If you need to change your target time, please contact Marian Carew with TEG at firstname.lastname@example.com to avoid off-target charges.
Exhibitors can drive into their space, however for safety reasons, TEG freight personnel will spot (direct) the vehicles and all self—propelled equipment. The round trip fee for this service is provided in the Online Exhibitor Service Kit. Please note that all freight, including machinery and vehicles, needs to be delivered during your assigned target move-in time to avoid off-target charges.
The definition of a POV is one which must be unloaded within 20 minutes by a full-time company employee, must be unloaded by hand without the use of any material handling equipment and must not be a closed-bodied vehicle with dual wheels.
TEG also offers a Cartload Service for POVs, should the freight be in excess of what the exhibitor can carry by hand. A cartload is eight (8) pieces or less, weighing less than 200lbs. total, which must fit on a 3'x 4' push cart, with one cartload allowed per booth. Freight in excess of these maximum loads will be received by TEG at the material handling rates. If you arrive with a truck, van, trailer, or truck with trailer filled with exhibit material you will not qualify for this service and will be redirected.
POVs will be required to obtain a ramp pass at the dock guard gate in order to gain dock access. This pass will allow 20 minutes to unload the POV before it must be removed from the dock ramp area. There must be two people with the vehicle—one to go with the product to the booth space, the other to remove the vehicle from the unloading area to the dock space.
Regular full-time employees of the exhibiting companies are allowed to set up their own exhibits without assistance from the union. Any labor services that may be required beyond what your regular full-time employees can provide must be supplied by union labor.
TEG will assign each exhibiting company with their own personal CAM (Customer Account Manager) upon signing up for the show. The CAM will contact the exhibitors several times before the deadline dates to assist and insure that the exhibitor has places all orders in advance, including material handling. In addition, APWA has put together a Deadlines Checklist that is available in the Online Exhibitor Service Kit, providing the advanced price discount deadlines you need to be aware of. Always try to order prior to the deadlines date posted in the Deadlines Checklist and on the order form. Before leaving for the show, confirm with TEG and other contractors that your orders have been received, and bring copies to the show.
Information on ordering electrical service is provided in the Online Exhibitor Service Kit. If you order standard power for a 10' deep booth, it will always be distributed to the rear-center of the booth unless you specify otherwise on the form. If you have an island booth, you should provide a floor plan of your booth to the electrical service provider. Contact your CAM for clarification of any questions.
Rather than taking a business card, scanning visitors' badges is a quick and efficient way to collect attendee data. Each attendee will wear a badge with all of his/her registration information encoded on it. In order to scan and retrieve this information, you will need to rent a lead retrieval device. Information on lead retrieval is provided in the Online Exhibitor Service Kit. Don't forget to order electrical service for your reader!
While show management provides guard service on the perimeter of the hall, neither the guards nor show management can be responsible for watching each individual booth. We always recommend that small, valuable items are secured or removed at night by the exhibitor. Should you need to remove anything from your booth that is larger than a briefcase or laptop, please go to the NTP Show Management Office to obtain an Equipment Removal Pass. Overnight booth guard service is available. Information will be provided in the Online Exhibitor Service Kit. It's also a good idea to check your company's insurance policy to be sure it covers theft from trade shows and other events outside your office.

Calvert took a seven point lead after one quarter and was never threatened after that, capturing a 65-52 win over Cardinal Stritch.
Kate Brickner, who dominated the inside, ended with a game-high 21 points. Yet, she said there is still room for improvement.
"I just want to get my foul shooting and my 3-point shooting," Brickner said. "I want that percentage up. All around, I just want to get better."
Still she went into the locker room at halftime with an already impressive 16 points. Coming out she knew it was far from over.
"I wanted to keep a positive attitude and get my confidence up," Brickner said.
It worked, as she drained her third 3-pointer with about two minutes left in the third quarter. It marked a perfect 100 percent from the beyond the arc.

Nicole Bickley chipped in nine points and grabbed six rebounds.
Coming into today's game, Calvert coach Tim Ritzler said he was hoping to was fine-tune the Senecas' game.
"We really wanted to wanted to work on executing. We do a pretty good job of getting out and running the floor, but we know there's going to be teams taking that away from us," Ritzler said.
Even though Calvert cruised to a win, Ritzler said he sees areas that need improvement. "The effort was there. It probably wasn't our best execution-wise. We missed a lot of shots inside."
Still, a win is a win and Calvert improved to 4-1.

From staff reports
NEW BLOOMFIELD - The Juniata tennis squad hit the road Wednesday to face off against non-league foe Carson Long with hopes of notching its second win on the season and remaining unbeaten. The Indians did just that, taking the match 7-0.
All five of Juniata's singles participants won their matches in straight sets. Brad Lipka and Ricky Heck each took the first sets 6-0 and finished their matches 6-1 while teammates Isaac Eck, Logan Aurand and Luis Pacheco also defeated their opponents in convincing fashion.
The Indians also swept the doubles matches, 10-0 and 10-3. Eck and Pacheco teamed up to trounce Carson Long's first doubles duo and Chantz Imes and Brad Strawser had their opponents on the run as well.
"Carson Long was missing a couple of their key players, so they didn't have very much depth, but we had good wins all around, and tomorrow we expect another," Juniata coach Alan Musselman said.
Juniata (2-0) hosts Clearfield today.

It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.

First, the American Red Cross decided to scale back the hours of its on-campus blood donation center at the Medical University of South Carolina from three days a week to two days a week. Now, it's decided to close the center altogether.

The Red Cross confirmed that today will be the last day the center will accept blood donations in Room 279 of the main hospital.
"The blood donation center at MUSC will be closing due to changing hospital facility needs," said April Phillips, a Red Cross spokesman.
"It was a mutual decision between the Red Cross and MUSC and was not tied to a decline in blood donations at the site. The blood donor community at MUSC remains committed to helping save lives through blood donation."
The Red Cross will continue to operate blood donation centers in West Ashley and Mount Pleasant, she said.
"While the current Red Cross blood supply is sufficient to meet the needs of area hospitals, it's important to remember that there is a constant need for blood.
Most healthy individuals who are at least 17 years of age (16 with parental permission), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood every 56 days."

AUGUSTA — Russell Henley's first Masters tee shot on a cloudy morning went well right of the fairway. It wound up in a bunker.
His last shot Thursday was a 40-foot putt to save par on the 18th hole. The green was nearly surrounded by well-wishers.
What a 24th birthday.
Henley, a Charleston resident, gets to celebrate today at Augusta National by trying to make the cut in his Masters debut. You have to like the chances after an even-par 72 on Thursday, carded despite sundry distractions tied to any Georgia native/Masters rookie combo.
Henley woke up a few times before the 5:15 a.m. alarm went off.
That sandy welcome on No. 1.
Those unexpected greetings along the course.
The No. 1 tee box was on Henley's mind as he drove to Augusta from Charleston on Sunday night. And maybe since January at the Sony Open in Hawaii, where Henley earned the Masters invitation by becoming the first rookie since 2001 to win in his first tournament as a PGA Tour member.
"A little nervy at the start," Henley said of his bogey-bogey beginning. "Walked on the tee box and just got chills. It just kind of hit me that I'm here. It brought memories of standing outside the ropes and guys getting announced. It was like, Whoa. I'm the one inside now and I made it. It felt really good. I had to fight off a few tears and I was ready to go."
Watson and Mize
Whether Henley makes the cut or not, it's been quite a "Welcome to Augusta" week. On Monday, he was asked by someone in the pro shop to name a few players for an ideal practice round.
Hey, how about Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw?
He was given Watson's phone number.
"Called Tom and he called me right back two hours later and he was friendly as can be," Henley said, "and I'll always remember that and tell my grandkids, hopefully."
More keepsake stories unfolded Thursday.
Henley started early, with 1987 Masters champion Larry Mize and Brian Gay in the second group off the tee.
"(Henley) is solid. I really enjoyed playing with him," Mize said. "His demeanor, his attitude, his mental game – I was very impressed. He obviously hits the ball great, and bogeying the first two holes and coming back and shooting even par is very impressive."
Positive thinking
A par 4 on the No. 3 hole started the steadiness. But Henley said the turning point was another 40-foot putt, at No. 1.
"I hit one right up there to about a foot to save bogey," Henley said. "That's a really tough pin, in the back left. Especially on the very first hole you've ever played in the Masters."
Henley saved the best for last — the crowd-pleaser at 18.
"I just told myself, 'I want to make par' and I tried to be positive," Henley said. "Then right before the putt I told myself, 'I want to make this putt.' I just tried to reinforce some positive thoughts. When I do that, more good things happen than not."
Henley won't be as nervous about the first shot of the second round.
He is buoyed by the last shot of the first round.
"I'm excited," he said on his way to the clubhouse. "I'm about to go see a bunch of friends that were here and didn't tell me they were coming. But I'm ready to get back out there."

Greetings Tomahawk!
Well after 366 days of fun, sun, and sand (it almost sounds desirable) I am soon to be on my way home.
I would like to thank those that have sent me e-mails, care packages, birthday cards, and generally have supported me since leaving Tomahawk over a year ago.
I have served my time here and now I come home to freeze completely solid and try and thicken up my blood again. Man I am not looking forward to that at all (the freezing part, not the coming home part).
So don't tell my mom and dad, but I am trying to get home to surprise them for Christmas dinner...
Thanks again Tomahawk, you don't know how much I have missed you all.

If you are trying the HDInsight service yourself, please make sure you shutdown the cluster when you no longer need it. HDInsight clusters are using multiple compute instances to do parallel processing in the cloud, please remember a default cluster uses 24 cores with a 8 core head node and 4x4core compute nodes.
Oops, something didn't work.
Apart from understanding the general principle this is a new subject for me, and these videos are helping a lot. Looking forward to more in this series.

ICOMOS National Committee Membership
Each National Committee is made up of its individual and institutional members, sustaining and honorary members. All the members must be qualified in the field of conservation, practicing the profession of architect, archaeologist, town planner, engineer, administrator of heritage, art historian or archivist. Individual membership may be granted in exceptional cases to other individuals interested in supporting the aims and objectives of ICOMOS. ICOMOS has approximately 9500 members in over 110 countries. Professionals of conservation can participate in ICOMOS' action through their National Committee and carry out its programs on a national level.
There are four categories of membership in ICOMOS National Committees.
Individual membership is open to any individual actively engaged in the conservation of monuments, groups of buildings or sites:
- as a member of the scientific, technical or administrative staff of a national, regional or local monuments, fine arts or antiquities service;
- as a decision-maker or as specialist engaged in the conservation, restoration, rehabilitation and enhancement of monuments, groups of buildings and sites.
This definition may include architects, town planners, historians, archaeologists, ethnologists or archivists, and in certain cases other individuals interested in supporting the aims and objective of ICOMOS.
Institutional membership is open to any institution
- concerned with the conservation, protection, restoration, rehabilitation, enhancement or animation of historic monuments, groups of buildings and sites,
- including those which own or are responsible for historic monuments, groups of buildings and sites,
- and those which devote all or a part of their efforts to such activities.
Sustaining membership is open to any individual or institution which would like to support the aims and activities of ICOMOS or which would like to contribute to international co-operation in the field of conservation of the cultural heritage.
Honorary membership of ICOMOS is conferred solely by the ICOMOS General Assembly in response to a proposal from an ICOMOS National Committee, upon individuals who have rendered outstanding services in the field.
All ICOMOS members in a country shall be formed into that country's ICOMOS National Committee. Once a national committee is formed, all applications to the ICOMOS Secretariat for ICOMOS membership are forwarded to the ICOMOS national committee.
All National Committee members have the right to attend and to participate in the ICOMOS General Assembly which is held every three years. However, each National Committee, has only 18 votes at the General Assembly.
Sustaining members and honorary members have the right to participate to the ICOMOS General Assembly, without the right to vote.
How to become a member?
Professionals interested in working in the field of cultural heritage can make a membership request to ICOMOS by the intermediary of their National Committee.
If there is no National Committee in a country, the membership requests have to be addressed to the ICOMOS International Secretariat for approval by the ICOMOS Executive Committee. The ICOMOS members belonging to countries where there is no National Committee have the same rights than the members of National Committees, except the right to vote at the General Assembly.
All the ICOMOS members of a country make up the National Committee of the country. Once a National Committee is created, all the membership requests to the International Secretariat are forwarded to the National Committee.
Membership Benefits
- participation in an international professional network (expert meetings, professional workshops, scientific exchange, training programmes)
- possibility of participating to the triennial ICOMOS General Assembly

ICOMOS Membership Appeal Procedure
The ICOMOS members appeal procedure operates for all persons who have applied for membership of their National Committee and have either received a rejection letter or email, a spoken refusal or no reaction to their application.
If an application for membership is refused/ignored by a National Committee, the applicant has a right to appeal the decision or lack of decision before the ICOMOS Executive Committee.
