Entity Framework dramatically faster in .NET 4.5
The Entity Framework is often shown lagging behind in performance comparisons with other ORM's, especially when micro ORM's are also included in the mix.
For example the Dapper benchmarks show the Entity Framework in a distant last place when testing SELECT mapping and serialization. These results have been charted on the excellent ServiceStack website.
However things have changed in .net 4.5 and the Entity Framework is no longer the slouch it once was.
The chart below shows the same benchmark, but this time including how the ORM's fare when run on .NET 4.5.
The benchmark measures how long in milliseconds it takes to execute 500 SELECT statements against a DB and map the data returned to objects.
Now the Entity Framework competes with the other ORM's on performance, and when compared with a fully featured ORM like nHibernate it compares very favourably (at least on this one metric).
It gets nowhere near the micro-ORM's on performance, but feature rich ORM's never will.
What is also interesting is that quite a few of the ORM's also gain speed improvements in .NET 4.5
Mocking Jon Skeet
I have been using Balsamiq (a mockup tool) a lot since I purchased it a few weeks ago. It had the likeability factor from the off, and has proved pretty useful.
Before using Balsamiq I had experimented with other tools but mostly I tried blundering and man handling applications such as Visio or Dreamweaver in to producing mockups. The biggest problem I had with those tools is that they got in the way. I spent more time trying to get them to do what I wanted, than I did brain storming, capturing an idea or mocking up a screen.
Balsamiq is a little different in that it is very specialised; it is designed to do mockups and very little else.
It has almost no learning curve to get started, and produces nice looking mockups. As a result it doesn't get in the way, and you find more of your time is thinking about your idea or your page, rather than worrying about the tool
Then there is the produced mockups themselves. There is a great advantage to having a mockup that looks informal and almost hand drawn. Everybody who looks at the mockup knows its a mockup, and not the first attempt at a design. This means you can discuss more about the idea and how it might work than perhaps discussing fonts, and
nit picking about different elements.
I used Balsamiq to create the initial mockups for Ask Jon Skeet. It is probably an over-simplified example of how you might use Balsamiq, but even for something this simple it boosted my productivity. I have zero design skills, so I lean heavily on web designers when it comes to building a website. In the past most of the information I have given the designer has been textual or verbal, but providing a mockup of a screen can help immensely and is an easy and quick way to convey an idea more clearly.
An example of how the homepage for Ask Jon Skeet went from concept to design.
Balsamiq are a small team, and seem to be pretty agile – they usually release updates each week. You can read more about the latest developments on their blog.
They also seem to be open to new ideas and suggestions. I am looking forward to when they introduce linking mockups, and allowing some sort of template inheritance.
Introducing Kameleon: An MVC Blog Application
I have just switched my blog over to Kameleon.
Kameleon is a new blog application that I have been developing this past week using ASP.NET MVC. There are a lot of great blog applications for .net including SubText, DasBlog and blogengine.net, but building your own is a great way to explore a web framework. I plan to use Kameleon to capture some of the trails and tribulations on developing with MVC and also trying to work out some of the emerging best practices.
The application is only in its embryonic stages at the moment but it has most of the standard blog features.
Posts, Pages, Comments, Feeds, Categories and Tagging
All quite valuable assets of a blog application 🙂
Skin Engine
It features a very flexible and simple skin architecture. At its most simplest a skin can be a folder with a master page, a stylesheet and few images in. However every base page or control template can be overridden by just dropping an aspx in the skin folder to provide complete flexibility. Obviously its better if most of the customisation is done in the CSS, but its useful for converting themes from other blogging engines.
The Widgets in the sidebar are data driven and what appears (or not) in the sidebar can be controlled via the admin. Currently, each widget is called in via a RenderAction, I will expand on this in a future post. (I am still not sure if it this the cleanest way to have widgets)
I use the excellent Lucene to search and index blog posts. When content is added or updated, it is updates the index and invalidates any cache.
MetaWeblog API
Support for blog clients.
Windows Live Writer support
A bit of extra support for Windows Live Writer so that it can auto-detect Kameleon's API and its capabilities.
Clean friendly URL's
As Kameleon is built with ASP.NET MVC, you get clean friendly URL's out of the box.
Multiple Blogs
A single instance of Kameleon can run multiple blogs. The blog (and skin) can be auto-detected from the incoming request (domain).
It is has been made using the following ingredients:-
- Subsonic 2.1
- SQL Server
- Lucene.Net
- Elmah
- Log4net
- ASP.NET Membership & Role Providers
What next?
There are still a few features that are missing, the Admin side needs building out and support for trackbacks and pingbacks is required. I also need to improve test coverage and do some refactoring.
I will put the source code on Google Code/Codeplex when its been whipped into shape a bit more.
Other MVC blog applications
Part way through this week Oxite was announced by Microsoft I haven't really had much time to look into it, but it looks like being an excellent real world example of an MVC application. You can find it on CodePlex It is well worth a look.
Also looking forward; SubText 3.0 will be developed using ASP.NET MVC, and that is worth keeping an eye on.
Vista x64 Tipping Point
I have recently built a new development machine and had a difficult decision to make in regards to whether to go with x64 Vista or x86. It wasn't an easy decision, or a particularly obvious one.
Vista x64
The Pros
Large memory support
The biggest advantage of going x64 is the ability to make use of more memory, potentially up to 128+GB. 32 bit version of Vista has a limit of 4GB, but in practice you will only get to use about 3GB as RAM). Having more memory should allow for better performance, as well as opening the doors for better VPC usage.
Improved Stability
Due to Vista x64 demanding only signed drivers can be installed, there OS should potentially be more stable than its 32 bit sibling.
The Cons
Poor Driver support
All x64 drivers have to be signed. This isn't such a problem for new hardware/software but legacy support for existing devices would be limited compared to x86.
Software compatibility issues
Some older software (and computer games) will still have problems running under Vista x64
Lack of true 64 bit software
Most software that is currently available is 32 bit, and does not have a 64 bit alternative. This isn't going to change quickly, and it is difficult to foresee when it is actually going to change wholesale. In Vista's lifetime would be nice, but it is not guaranteed.
The decision
In the end I went for Vista x64, mostly because I wanted to make use of more than 3GB of memory. Had it been a year earlier, I would definitely have gone 32 bit. The landscape has dramatically changed over the last year, and driver support has come on leaps and bounds.
If you have a reasonably new PC, and recent hardware you probably won't run into any show stoppers. Also on the software front, a lot more has been done to ensure computability with x64. All said and done, I only really gained enough confidence* in 64 bit Vista because of Scott Hanselman's well documented 64 bit journey with a very similar specced quad core PC. It was clear that, although I may have some teething issues, all the core tools for software development should work fine. Jeff Atwood goes into more detail in regard to whether 64 bit is ready in his recent post Is It Time for 64-bit on the Desktop?.
*And if there were any major problems, I would have Scott Hanselman to nag 😉
Real world experience
In the first few weeks of running Vista I have had no real issues at all. Everything has worked, and it's been a much smoother experience than I anticipated. I would have no hesitation in recommending x64 to any other software developer who is considering making the leap to 64 bit -as long as they require >3GB memory.
The only vague disappointment I have had is that I wasn't quite aware just how many applications out there don't have a 64 bit version available. If I open up Task Manager, I can see a good 1/3 of the processes are running in 32 bit emulation. This is a little disappointing, and is mostly down to how Microsoft is bringing in 64 bit so slowly. 32 bit is still going to be recommended Vista edition for the foreseeable future.
Microsoft has an interesting page on which edition of Vista to choose.
"In the consumer market, Windows Vista 64-bit editions are for serious gamers, high-quality media creators, and enthusiasts who demand the most from digital media and are running computer systems with 64-bit processors.
The 64-bit editions of Windows Vista are not for everyone, and require a system with a 64-bit processor and 64-bit system drivers. Please confirm that your system, applications, and devices are compatible with a 64-bit edition of Windows Vista before installing."
It is clear Microsoft do not want to encourage anybody other than enthusiasts and professional to go 64 bit, as it's not going to be plain sailing by any means
Tipping Point
So, when will x64 become mainstream? Will it be in Vista's lifetime?
I have my doubts. For your average non-techie user, Vista runs okay on 1GB and runs very well on 2GB. I don't see this changing over the next 2-3 years. Professionals and enthusiasts are bound to move across to 64 in large numbers as driver support continues to improve, but this is still such a small user base for Vista.
Vista x64's tipping point will never be reached organically, so the question is will Microsoft decide to push Vista x64 over the next couple of years? Or will they wait for the next OS release, and make it a x64 only release. Seems to me like the latter is more likely.
In the meantime, I will continue enjoying the solid experience of developing software on a 64 bit OS, but I won't be expecting to fully wave goodbye to 32 bits for a good few years.
Hipster Shuffle
Updated: See the Hipster Shuffle in action on YouTube
You may have recently seen the wonderful invention that is the Hipster PDA (hPDA). It is a fantastic innovation that has been adopted by many a GTD follower. But what is the Hipster? Quoted from the Hipster Wikipedia definition:-
"The Hipster PDA is a paper-based personal organizer popularized, if not invented, by San Francisco writer Merlin Mann."
Here is an example of a Hipster PDA.
Despite its obvious genius, some doubters have suggested that the Hipster PDA isn't a 'true PDA' or even a PDA at all. The non-believers have stated that even though it features limitless battery life, customisable fonts, and true persistance – this all comes at the expense of multimedia functionality. Many Hipster users argue that the hPDA's simplicity is one of the main factors of its success.
This for some people is not enough.
What is the solution? Some sort of middle ground perhaps. The answer would come from an unlikely source.
Apple have long been known for their creative innovation, and who was to know they had become aware of the ground breaking Hipster and were about to release the ultimate accessory or upgrade. Yes folks, the ultimate mash up of paper and silicon has arrived.
Meet the ultimate upgrade for the Hipster, uncannily referred to by Apple by the codename "iPOD shuffle (2nd generation)" otherwise known as the "Hipster Multimedia Clip".
Forget the iPhone, Apple have really made a miracle happen here. If you are in any doubt, lets see the Hipster Multimedia Clip in action:-
The Multimedia Hipster clip can also be inversed to have the controls the other way around. See below:-
Its really quite amazing. Wherever you take your Hipster, you also take your music collection. Get in to the groove whilst you GTD.
Upgrade your Hipster to a Hipster Shuffle today with the fabulous Multimedia Hipster Clip. Available now from Amazon – curiously still under its code name iPod shuffle.
See the Hipster Shuffle Video of how it changed my life on YouTube.
The technology challenge of GTD
The concepts of GTD are relatively simple; it's in the implementation where the complexity lies. GTD relies on having a trusted system were you capture information, thoughts, and next actions etc. The system needs to be trusted, because if you are getting all of your commitments and to-dos out of your head, your head really needs to trust that it can stop thinking or worrying about them.
Without a trusted system, it doesn't work. I would say that for the majority of geeks the road to finding a trusted system is full of obstacles. I would be prepared to go out on a limb and say that most people who have been caught up with the cult of GTD don't actually practice GTD.
Where is the resistance?
And does there have to be that much resistance, for a target market of people who most probably have a hefty workload and/or a problem with procrastination?
The problem.
First of all the problem. Let's take a look at a fictional geek called Geoff, who just happens to be a software developer. His setup is the following:-
- Home PC
- Laptop
- Work PC
He uses Outlook for email, he also has a gmail account, and he is restricted to what websites he can use at work.
Geoff has decided he is getting snowed under and could do with a better way of managing his time (his stuff to do). He has done some research and has decided to give GTD ago. It seems pretty simple and effective, and is completely sold on the idea.
First step – finding the trusted system.
Geoff loves web surfing, he loves finding tools, and his attention span is similar to that of a goldfish. He hops about the internet finding GTD solution after solution, soon learning that finding the perfect GTD solution is like a procrastinator's wet dream. He continues to put all of his urgent work to one side, and signs up for several of the web applications like Remember the Milk, Backpack and Vitalist and gives them a go. At first they all seems pretty good, they make great use of Ajax and look pretty good too. However not one application is perfect, not one is the right fit for him. Being a geek and a software developer, Geoff knows GTD is pretty simple, he doesn't want to compromise, and there are still dozens of apps he hasn't yet tried.
Two weeks later, all of the web GTD accounts are starting to become stale. All the articles on 43folders and lifehacker have been read. Geoff has decided that web GTD apps aren't for him. He needs the power of a windows application, something that isn't hidden in the tab of his web browser.
He installs My life Organised and ThinkingRock. Again they both seem pretty good, he decides ThinkingRock is the best fit and decides this time he best give this GTD app a proper try, and to stop procrastinating. He spends the weekend emptying his brain into the application. Monday morning he bungs the application onto a USB stick and goes to work. He gets into the habit of using the app to manage his workload at work, and all is going swimmingly. Until Thursday. Thursday he has left his USB Stick at home. Geoff finds this really frustrating, because his USB stick has his brain on it (and it was only a 1GB stick).
Thursday becomes a bit messy due to not having his brain, and Friday and the weekend are consumed by looking for a more reliable option.
By Monday Geoff realises he has wasted days and days, just surfing for a perfect GTD solution. His boss isn't happy because he has missed a deadline, and Geoff decides he best knuckle down and stop wasting any more time chasing rainbows.
The End.
The moral of the story? We live in a complicated world, with masses of information thrown at us from all angles. We rely on many devices, from PCs, laptops to PDAs and mobile phones. Not all of them speak the same language. In the end, there is no perfect GTD solution out there, and there never will be. There are however, plenty of 'good enough' solutions that are right for you. It's more important to find a solution, commit to it and make it work. Once you have a reliable system and are on top of your workload, then there is nothing stopping you from making some time available for looking for smarter solutions, but at least it wont be at the cost of 'Getting things done'.
ASP.NET Registration with multiple profile providers
When do you decide it is time to give up on using some of the more feature rich ASP.NET controls? When is it easier and/or quicker to code something yourself?
I spent yesterday trying to plug the CreateUserWizard into an e-commerce website. It was very simple to get working and very little code was required. However once I got it working, I then had the interesting task of getting it to produce the required HTML. I edited the templates; getting rid of the entire messy table based HTML, and thought everything was going good. It wasn't.
When I loaded the registration page up in Firefox, and viewed source, I could see the nice template HTML was surrounded by more hideous HTML that the CreateUserWizard had generated. The hideous HTML was not part of a template so could no be changed.
After googling around I found a very exciting discovery – the ASP.NET CSS Friendly Control Adapters. A set of adapters that can be dropped into an application and will help adapt� the HTML that the ASP.NET controls render, making them CSS friendly.
I wired up the adapters and loaded up my site in Firefox, and then viewed source. Woo hoo, the HTML was fixed, with not a table to be seen.
But then another pothole….
I tried to create a user and hit all sorts of problems. After a bit of debugging, I found out that when the adapters are plugged in, the CreateUserWizard doesn't quite work the same. My event handlers were not working because the properties such as UserName on the CreateUserWizard were empty! I ended up having to use FindControl to get the values that I needed instead of accessing the properties. I have since found Steven Harman's excellent blog post – CSS Friendly Control Adapters, CreateUserWizard, and ViewState… Oh My! – that covers this in more detail.
Okay, so I tweaked my code and everything seems to be working again, but from reading more about Steven's experiences it seems like there may still be some outstanding issues with the CreateUserWizard and the CSS Friendly Control Adapters.
Which brings me to the question at the beginning of the post – When do you decide it is time to give up on using some of the more feature rich ASP.NET controls?
With the CreateUserWizard as an example, there are ways of making it behave properly in terms of the HTML it renders but when do you draw the line? The CSS Friendly Control adapters are a very useful development, but when they affect the behaviour of a component and introduce quite a lot more complexity is it worth the cost?
What have I gained? In this case with the Membership/Profile providers, it would be quite easy to develop a bespoke control.
Any thoughts?
The Start Menu is so last year
I installed an application a couple of months ago that revolutionised how I use my computer. No other utility or application in the Windows XP era has even come close to the sort user experience improvements this application has brought.
So what is it? What's it called? How much is it?
It is a program launcher called Launchy and it is free.
Program launchers are no secret these days, and I may have come late to the party but WOW what a difference they make. Launchy by default indexes the start menu and your bookmarks, but you can also configure it to index other places, like document/project folders for example.
When you want to launch an application you open Launchy by using a hotkey combination (I use Alt and Space). Then type the first few letters of the application name or bookmark and BOOM, it displays you the most relevant app/bookmark, you press return and it opens. The impressive part is that it adapts and learns what applications you are looking for based on your keystrokes. Here is an example of what I have to type to open my apps.
It is so simple and intuitive, but over the course of a day it saves so much time. I am smitten.
* If you as far behind as I am, and have only just discovered application launchers.

b. the syntax is not correct
c. aand b will be assigned a value of either 0 or 1
d. a, b , c are all assigned 5
Re: Emergency !! C Questions
> Please explain your answers
Please explain your lack of an attempt at the solution, or your disregard of the forum posting guidelines.
We're not here to give you answers on a plate so you can get a decent grade you don't deserve.
You have a guess (or better yet, think about it and refer to some notes) and explain your reasoning, then we tell you where the faults in your reasoning might be.
The real answer to Q1 isn't even on your list.
Re: Emergency !! C Questions
Dear Salem
regarding Q1. I created he same code which passed by the compiler with no errors raised .
Q2. regarding definition of enum . The syntax enum variable _name {.....,.....,.... }; I have tried finding if the variable name is optional however every where its there in the syntax.
i believe (3) to be corect for this question
Q3. ran program which does assign 0 to both a, b but c gets a number 356, which is not mentioned in the statement. I presume since == returns that s is not equal to 5 , that value is assigned to a and b .
ans (c)
I am not trying to break forum rules . I am new to C.

Political Support in Canada, 1983-1988 (ICPSR 9874)
Principal Investigator(s): Clarke, Harold D.; Kornberg, Allan
The purpose of this data collection was to study the distribution, causes, and consequences of public support for Canada's national political authorities, regime, and community. Major areas of investigation include political attitudes, electoral behavior, conventional and unconventional forms of political behavior, evaluations of government performance (economy and other policy areas), and judgments of the equity and fairness of the political system. The surveys included in the collection have cross-sectional and panel components which permit the study of the dynamics of Canadian political attitudes and behavior. Specific variables for Part 1, 1988 National Pre-Election Survey Raw Data, include respondents' party affiliation, voting history, language, and cultural group affiliation, as well as opinions on the free trade agreement, the most important issue in the election, and which leaders were most impressive in the debates. Variables in Part 2, 1988 Post-Election Survey and 1988 Pre-Post Election Panel Survey Raw Data, cover respondents' opinions on free trade, civil service, taxes, trusting federal officials, and protection of the environment. For Part 3, 1983 National Cross-Sectional Survey Raw Data, information is provided on topics such as the respondents' involvement in the campaign, opinions on the effectiveness of the judicial system, Parliament, and taxation policies, and views on the importance of the welfare system, the armed forces, and employment opportunities. Data in Part 4, 1984 National Cross-Sectional Survey and 1983-1984 National Panel Survey Raw Data, cover respondents' views on the most important election issue for them as opposed to the most important issue for the candidates. All files offer demographic information as well, including age, race, sex, religious affiliation, education, occupation, employment status, and income level.

In 2004, the San Juan County Commisioners designated the entire county a marine stewardship area. We have over 400 miles of shoreline and only 175 square miles of land spread over an island chain with between 420 and 700 islands, reefs and rocks depending on the level of the tide. These waters and shorelines are home to six species of salmon, orcas, Dall's porpoise, Steller's sea lions, river and sea otters, lingcod, several species of rockfish and over 100 species of marine birds. Twenty two varieties of endangered Chinok salmon use the San JUans in varius life cycle stage. Two valuable habitats that provide food and shelter for several kinds of marine life are found throughout the San Juans. Eelgrass grows along 140 miles of our shoreline and one third of the bull kelp in Puget Sound is found here.
The San Juan Marine Stewardship Area resulted from the vision of dozens of local community leaders working together to create a plan which would sustain our use and enjoyment of local marine resources based on the best availalbe science. In 2007, the county adopted a plan representing three years of effort by the Marine Resources Committee and local fishers, community members, businesseslocal and regional scientists, technical advisors and local and regional organizations including the UW Friday Harboe Labs, the SeaDoc Society, and Nature Conservancy and the Surfrider Foundation. The plan started the process of developing and prioritizing strategies and actions to protect and restore precious marine resources in the San Juan Islands. After extensive public involvement, six top strategies were identified for protecting our MSA.

Purpose: To determine the preference of members of the American Glaucoma Society for the use of antifibrotic agents (mitomycin C or 5-fluorouracil or both) and glaucoma drainage devices in ten clinical settings.
Materials and Methods: Voluntary written survey of the American Glaucoma Society.
Results: American Glaucoma Society (AGS) members continue to report preference for mitomycin C use in ten clinical settings. The percent usage for glaucoma drainage devices has increased in poor prognosis scenarios including the following: neovascular glaucoma, previous failed trabeculectomy, previous ECCE/ICCE, previous PKP, previous scleral buckling surgery, and uveitic glaucoma. However, trabeculectomy and MMC continue to be more likely employed for surgical management.
Conclusion: Despite the long-term complications of bleb-related infections, no statistically significant shift in preference away from MMC use or reduction in the concentration of drug delivery was observed since the 1996 survey.

In Reply.—We thank Dr Harris for bringing attention to this interesting report of scalp inunction, resulting in isosexual precocity in a 5-year-old girl. We believe that our report is singular in that heterosexual precocity resulted, a condition that is more likely to be pernicious and pursued by invasive diagnostic procedures.

Know before you go 2 of 12I used to drag my kids from ride to ride checking height requirements only to disappoint them when they weren't tall enough to ride. Verizon's free Mobile Magic app tells you height and physical restriction information before you go!
Tip: Measure your child at home before you go
(I honestly didn't know if my kid was 38" or 42").
Eat breakfast at home 3 of 12Fill up those bellies so hungry for fun with a hearty breakfast at home. Avoid the cost and time associated with a breakfast pit stop; there's too much fun to be had!
Image credit: Shutterstock
Bring snacks 4 of 12No one wants to stop having fun for a quick snack (especially kids). Save yourself a little time and money by bringing snacks into the park.
Image credit: Shutterstock
Arrive early 5 of 12Arrive at the park as soon as it opens and head straight to your favorite ride for a short wait to maximize your day. Disneyland park hours can be found here.

Get FASTPASS 6 of 12FASTPASS is a free benefit available to all park guests that holds your place in line! Learn more about FASTPASS here and then use Verizon's free Mobile Magic app to track FASTPASS times for all your favorite attractions!

To the left 10 of 12I read somewhere that on rides with two wait lines, the left moves faster than the right. While I'm not sure if there's any science behind this logic, we tested the theory out on Jungle Cruise and it worked!
Image credit: Shutterstock
Best times to ride 11 of 12You have the best chance of avoiding long ride wait times if you hit them up first thing in the morning and during parades and spectaculars (not that you want to miss those!).
Image credit: Shutterstock
Avoid peak meal times 12 of 12Grab your lunch between 1:30 pm - 3:30 p.m. and grab dinner after 6 p.m.

My parents have a PC that is a few years old. If I remember right, its a Sempron @ around 2.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM. They use for getting online, my mom plays PopCap style games, my dad has some games on Steam - Half-Life 2 era and older. I've left it alone with XP because that's what they prefer, but they've been having software problems lately, mostly driver issues, and just want to be able to turn it on and use it.

Anyhow.. Steam is looking pretty good on Linux, especially for the games my dad likes. There's obviously plenty of games available that my mom would like. I just need to make the transition as easy as possible for them, since they don't take change very well. I'm thinking Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop, since its pretty similar to Windows. Any suggestions?

Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880), born Jakob Ebst in Cologne in Germany, was composer of over a hundred one-act and full-length operettas for the Second Empire in Paris. He became a naturalised Frenchman in 1860 and a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur in 1861. He was the son of a popular musician, music teacher and synagogue cantor, Isaac Juda Eberst who changed his name to Offenbach, the place from which he came. Alongside his brother, Offenbach studied music in Paris, and played the cello in the Opera-Comique, the operatic home of French operas which used spoken dialogue, and which had originally opened in 1715 (and where his masterpiece, the Contes d'Hoffmann was premiered, posthumously, in 1881 – the only one of his works to h…

Searching for the Face of AmericaFebruary 6, 2012 // 0 Comments
Film maker's visit to classroom makes a positive impression on students
By Leigh Ann Schoffstall and Patrick Wesley
On October 5, 2011, the MCOM/HIST 150 "Movies: History and Art" class had the pleasure of meeting with a prominent documentary filmmaker, Dr. Tony Mussari. Dr. Mussari, the former chairperson of the Mass Communications department at King's College in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, has been documenting the lives of others for more than 30 years. He was invited to speak to the class by the instructor, and his former student, Dr. Rick Ostopowicz (affectionately known as "Dr. O." by the students).
It was just like any other night in the movie history class, only because Dr. O.'s class is anything but typical. Reflecting on that evening, students could tell that Dr. Mussari was very passionate about his profession. As he began to speak about his background, credentials, and his current and most significant task to date—another documentary in his "Face of America" film series, it was clear that this man is filled with wisdom and experience. He was willing to share his most life altering project with a class of diversely opinionated students. The project that is precious to him has spanned the last ten years.
Over a decade ago, Dr. Mussari decided that, instead of a Mercedes Benz or a month long European vacation, he would invest in a camera that he and his wife, Kitch, would use—along with their determination—to find the true face of America. Their dream and passion came through brilliantly in their latest documentary, where they capture for eternity the events that took place in the sky and on the ground in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001. In the film, Dr. Mussari showcased high school students as they visited the 9/11 Shanksville memorial. Together, through this great loss many years ago, they attempt to find peace, solace, and some answers about the qualities of togetherness.
The remnants of 9/11 have a special place in the hearts of every American. More specifically, Flight 93 has a deep attachment with Dr. Mussari—so deep that he has spent 10 years of his life devoted to telling the stories of all the lives affected, rather than following the path of other film makers that just told the stories of the victims' families. In the final documentary of the series, screened for the class, Dr. Mussari followed the New Jersey high school cheerleaders during their two-day experience of visiting the site of the Flight 93 crash, meeting the townspeople, and hearing the stories from the Shanksville perspective. It was very moving, as Dr. Mussari was able to capture the realism and make you feel like you were there. Additionally, the students shared their thoughts about what it means to be an American. The culturally diverse group gave honest and compelling thoughts and feelings that were honest and hopeful.
After the screening, Dr. Mussari graciously welcomed comments and critiques. Most students commented on particular points of the film, such as how it highlighted the diversity of the students. It was so interesting for a class of about 15-20 students to watch the same film yet have such different views. A lengthy conversation after the film found many emotions floating on the surface. Like any great documentary, Dr. Mussari's work gets emotional reactions in many forms. "This is the greatest compliment anyone could ever pay me," said Mussari, who sees his passion crossing over into the minds and hearts of his audience. This latest documentary in his series made its viewers emotional like a famous painting or a timeless song.
At the end of class, Dr. Mussari had a surprise for the students and professor. Through his film series, he met the woman who created the national 9/11 remembrance flag. Dr. Mussari explained that for the last few years, he was given the opportunity to pass along this flag as a reminder of the sacrifices that were made on that fateful day, as well as to display his gratitude for people sharing in his film making experiences. To that end, he presented the class and CCBC with this momentous flag. It was an honor to be a part of the presentation, as the flag is a tangible representation of how Americans will never forget the events of that day.
In our time together, Dr. Mussari did a lot of talking about the heroes of flight 93. These heroes gave their lives to protect the innocent, but we must not forget that heroes walk among us every day. Perhaps people who spend a large parcel of their lives and completely fund projects like this documentary could be considered heroes in their own right.
Most of us would never take on a project for 10 years. Yet, Dr. Mussari did, and he did it with pride and excitement. His goal to help us never forget the stories of Flight 93 and lives that were impacted in that small town rang true for the CCBC students. His work and words made us realize that we can all reach a little higher.

Interpersonal communication has many barriers like misconception, misunderstanding, and difference in culture or nature of the participants in communication. The aforesaid first two barriers are developed in due course of time and the last one i.e, culture differences is developed right after birth and which continues till our death! It is inevitable to avoid or ignore the barriers in cross cultural and intercultural communication but can be taken care of and sorted with some inputs from participants in that communication. Smoother intercultural communication is tough but not an impossible thing; you will find it interesting when you show an interest to learn another man's culture and how that culture has cultured his nature!
The influence of culture in any human being starts from his birth. He is subjected to a lot of rites in his culture. He is taught about his culture through stories and epics and he is made a man, a complete man! For example, in many parts of India, a guy is not allowed to touch any girl when he speaks and so this gets into his habit to such an extent that he thinks the same way even when he goes to Western countries where they can touch or sometimes even hug their friends, no matter of the gender. And now, you would have got the essence of the actual cultural barriers in communication. It is not wrong with the human beings but it partly is with the way our cultures are framed in different places which brings the diversity in us. These differences hamper the interaction with others and stop us from creating a fraternal world.
Experts in the field of intercultural communication have put forward many theories to define interpersonal communication and how culture can create an impact on it. Let us now discuss some of these theoretical aspects of interpersonal intercultural relationships and their types. According to Cognitive dissonance theory, there are three types of cognitive relationships: consonant, dissonant and irrelevant relationships. When your ideologies meet with the other person, it means you both experience a consonance in relationship. And when they do not meet with each other thus creating an imbalance between them, they are having a dissonant relationship. On the other hand, when there is no meaning in a relationship then it can be termed as irrelevant! Apart from these there is something called complementary relationships where the people involved in communication establish a contrasting pattern with each other, like one person being more arrogant and the other is calm!
Certain tensions within intercultural relationships also prevail in marriage or love. The main reason behind this would be when one partner finds the other person to be stereotypic or bored with his culture and needs some change in their lives. When you find something to be the same or inferior, it is obvious that you will lose interest in that. And your behavior after such a thing would be aggressive and pessimistic towards your partner. To an extent, this can be avoided by projecting the positive things in your culture and being humorous most of the time. Every person carries a sought of cultural identity and when that identity is not respected, you are sure of getting frustrated with that person. So it is equally important to respect others culture and thereby respecting the diversity between you and your partner.
Man is the only cultured and social animal. When the other uncultured animals are showering love towards their counterparts, why should we shy away from others in the name of protecting our culture? Cultural diversities are actually to be learnt with joy as that will make to be multicultural as a single human. Adapting to others culture without spoiling your cultural heritage will actually solve the problems between us and make this world green. It is true that culture and communication are mutually dependent on each other but that dependency should be reduced to a minimal. Sam was a tourist who used to visit every part of the world. He used to preserve things he buy from various countries and explain his friends about the cultural importance of them. After few months, his friend, who is an American, married a Japanese girl and the reason for which he gave for this intercultural marriage was that he got impressed with the Japanese cultural explained by Sam. Come on world, let us stay united in diversity too!

Less than four weeks to go and there's still no clear favorite for the May 4 Kentucky Derby. Not to worry: Intrigue is what makes these Derby preps so much fun.
Take the Wood Memorial at Aqu-educt in New York, one of three major 1 1/8-mile preps tomorrow, along with the Blue Grass at Keeneland in Lexington, Ky., and the Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark.
There's so much uncertainty in the Wood that five of the eight 3-year-olds entered are listed at odds no higher than 9-2, with Medaglia d'Oro the favorite at 5-2. There's so much mystery that trainer H. James Bond is starting to believe in Buddha - his lightly raced colt set to join stakes company for the first time.

Well I know Smuckers was the main company for Nationals but those strawberries are horrible. Maybe make them a little bigger or something. The fist pumps don't bother me and neither does the crying. We saw skaters at the Intermediate and Novice level thoroughly pleased with their performances, jumping up and down on the ice, covering their faces, fist-pumping - maybe because they only fell twice or they landed a jump that had been bothering them. As we all keep saying - people handle things differently. Adrenaline affects people differently. A skater's own expectations may not be what the crowd expects them to be. Maybe he/she was nauseated throughout the program and managed not to barf. I just don't see why any of this is a problem.
As for Rickie Dornbush having to skater after Jason - he isn't the most consistent person in the world anyway and I do not imagine it takes much for him to lose focus (altho he did skate a beautiful SP and I believe he WAS emotional after.....just saying!) I think anytime someone lays down an incredible skate, gets a standing O, gets good scores, etc. it takes the energy out of the building. I was afraid that was going to happen when Gracie skated as the final skater in the LP but she just went out and laid it down. Again - different people react differently!!

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has decided to axe its alliance with Targacept, which covered five therapeutics areas: addiction, obesity, pain, Parkinson disease, and smoking cessation. The termination comes as a result of GSK reportedly making strategic changes in its neuroscience focus.
Effective in May, the firms will no longer work together. Targacept will have full rights to the programs developed thus far.
GSK has two analgesics in clinical development. Losmapimod, a p38 kinase inhibitor, and Horizant (1838262), a voltage-gated calcium channel modulator, are both in Phase II trials. The firm also has a multibillion dollar discovery and development partnership with NeuroSearch focused on anxiety and pain. The companies have a Phase IIb candidate for depression and at least five preclinical candidates. GSK also has a Phase I-stage candidate for obesity called 1521498, which is a mu-opioid receptor inverse agonist.
Targacept and GSK entered into their agreement in July 2007. The goal was to discover, develop, and market therapeutics that selectively target specified neuronal nicotinic receptors. Under terms of the agreement Targacept received $45 million from GSK, which included a $15 million equity investment.
"Our alliance with GlaxoSmithKline provided us with substantial funding at a key time in Targacept's evolution, helping us stay at the forefront of NNR research and grow our pipeline of novel product candidates with diverse NNR pharmacologies," says J. Donald deBethizy, Ph.D., Targacept's president and CEO.

In stressful times like these, it's important to distinguish between investors' appetite for stocks in general and the actual outlook of each company. The market plunge is related to top-down concerns about the U.S. economy, but a bottom-up approach is still warranted. This is because -- despite the weak stock market performance -- a company can do well even if its industry isn't doing that well. In some cases, even though a business is doing OK, the stock price is signaling distress and hitting all-time lows.
This is when officers, directors and major shareholders (collectively known as insiders) usually act. They have the best view of the company's stock fundamentals, so they gauge the company's health by the day. So when a choppy market pushes the stock down below any sort of fair value, these insiders can respond with their checkbooks. In fact, there's been a massive wave of insider-buying since the market hit the skids on July 22. To cover all of the names would take quite some time. But this should send a clear signal that there is value to be had in this market.
To focus investors' sights, I've limited the view to companies with at least $400,000 in recent insider-buying. I've also tossed out stocks that have rebounded as a result of this buying pressure. All of the stocks in the table below trade for less than what insiders have paid for them. But don't let that dishearten you. Insiders often have a long-term view and are prepared to wait out any short-term gyrations.
The book-value buyers
Financial stocks can often be found on insider-buying lists during tough times because insiders know tangible book value is a floor that is rarely breached. When a company's market value falls below this level, a solid buying opportunity emerges. Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS), for example, is now valued at about $36 billion, well below the $47 million in tangible book value found on its balance sheet. This roused the interest of a range of company directors on the week of Aug. 1, as they bought nearly $4 million in stock when it hit a two-year low price of $19.28.
Titanium Metals (NYSE: TIE)
The major flaw behind following the moves of insiders: their timing can be lousy. I profiled this processor and producer of titanium on July 22, just as the market rout began.
Chairman Harold Simmons had been aggressively accumulating shares at about $17, below the then-noted price of $19 when my article was published. Then, on Monday, Aug. 8, he bought another $8 million in Titanium's stock for $13.65 a share.
A key catalyst for the purchase is likely found in better-than-expected second-quarter results. Could demand for titanium eventually slump in an economic slowdown? Surely, but the nearly 40% drop from the 52-week high appears to more than anticipate that.
Kior (Nasdaq: KIOR)
This has not been a happy time for newly-public companies that are trying to build a base of shareholders just as investors are fleeing stocks. Alternative-energy firm Kior went public at $15 a share in late June and held its own until the recent market rout. Shares have fallen from about $14.50 at the start of August to below $12 currently, a drop that has brought in some significant insider-buying from a pair of investments firms. They each now own more than 10% of the company (and are thus considered to be beneficial owners -- or insiders).
Kior is taking a different approach to the alternative fuel industry. Instead of producing liquids such as ethanol, which carry unique properties and need to be transported through a separate set of transmission pipelines, Kior is developing fuel that is virtually identical to the crude oil ultimately refined into gasoline, diesel and other distillates. "Their drop-in nature provides them with immediate access to markets via the existing global fuels infrastructure," note analysts at UBS.
The good news: a number of states have rising Renewables Portfolio Standards (RPS), which call for steadily increasing use of these kinds of renewable fuels. The bad news: Kior is several years away from full-scale production and won't generate any profits until then. A key near-term milestone involves the opening of a larger plant in Columbus, Miss. in 2012.If the company can prove the viability of its technology at this larger scale, then additional investors are likely to find interest. UBS figures shares are worth $28 on a discounted cash-flow basis, which is more than double the current price. However, the market needs to stabilize and interest in clean energy stocks needs to return before shares start to rebound.
Action to Take --> As noted earlier, insiders have notoriously bad timing, so these stocks can surely weaken some more before rebounding. But insiders buy these types of stocks based on their promising long-term view, and this should be your focus as well. In the long-run, you will likely get a great deal on one or more of these stocks -- a dream come true for deep value investors.

"Come, and take choice of all my library, And so beguile thy sorrow…"
-- William Shakespeare, from Titus Andronicus
Overview and History of
In ancient Greece, the door of the library at Thebes bore the inscription, "The Healing Place of the Soul." For millennia, people have recognized the therapeutic value of literature. It is only over the last century, however, that an explicit practice has developed for using directed reading in the solution of personal problems. In a 1916 article in Atlantic Monthly, Samuel Crothers coined the term
when he combined the Greek words for book and healing to describe the "new science" of treating illnesses through literature. At that time, bibliotherapy was limited to hospital library services, where it was used to treat the mentally ill, help soldiers cope with wartime traumas, and to aid in the healing of disabled veterans. In 1946, Sister Mary Agnes published the first study on using bibliotherapy with children, and soon teachers began to use the technique as part of classroom instruction.
While bibliotherapy is often used as a clinical treatment, its principles can be effectively adapted by educators in a preventive or developmental rather than curative capacity, such as to address a community problem or to increase empathy and compassion among students. In her ground-breaking work during the 1950s, Caroline Shrodes defined bibliotherapy as an activity "…that lies within the province of every teacher of literature in working with every child in a group. It does not assume that the teacher must be a skilled therapist. . . Rather, it conveys the idea that all teachers must be aware of the effects of reading upon children and must realize that, through literature, most children can be helped."
Benefits of Bibliotherapy
The use of literature to address a problem or issue, or stimulate thinking about values has a variety of benefits for students of all ages. Stories that are realistic, developmentally appropriate, and relevant to students' lives can provide emotional support by letting children know that they are not alone in their feelings or the first to encounter a particular problem or challenge. By talking about characters rather than themselves, students can discuss sensitive issues openly and take comfort in group expressions of compassion without exposing their private fears or troubles. Such facilitated dialogue can help improve students' ability to understand and cope with problems, to generate constructive resolutions, and to develop personal and social judgment. Examining multidimensional problems and issues can also stimulate critical thinking in ways that increase social sensitivity, respect for others, and the ability to take a variety of perspectives.

Benefits of Bibliotherapy
Overview of Bullying in U.S. Schools
Children's literature can be an effective tool for addressing the growing concerns about physical, verbal, and relational bullying in schools. Though bullying has been traditionally dismissed by some as "just a part of growing up," most educators today understand that it is a pervasive problem in school communities. A 2001 study funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of over 15,000 public, private, and parochial school students reported that almost a third of 6th to 10th graders-5.7 million children nationwide-have experienced some kind of bullying.
In another survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation, more eight to fifteen year-olds picked teasing and bullying as "big problems" than those who picked drugs or alcohol, racism, AIDS, or pressure to have sex. More African Americans saw bullying as a big problem for people their age than those who identified racism as a big problem.
It is no surprise that students who regularly experience bullying suffer from low self-esteem, depression, isolation, fear, feelings of helplessness, poor academic achievement, and high rates of absenteeism.
According to the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) and Counseling and Student Services (CSS), as many as 160,000 children skip school each day because of intimidation by their peers.
Those who are bystanders to bullying may also suffer from feelings of helplessness and may develop poor coping and problem solving skills.
Some studies show that even students who bully may demonstrate poor social and emotional adjustment, social isolation, lack of success in school, and involvement in other problem behaviors, such as drinking alcohol and smoking.
In school communities where bullying goes unchecked, students learn that survival requires aggression or silence, and that acts of kindness invite torment. In such environments, many despair in the perception that bullies can behave with impunity while there is no one to stand up for the vulnerable. In a survey conducted by Widmeyer Communications for the Health, Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, students aged 9-13 reported their belief that teachers and principals are unsympathetic or apathetic to the plight of those who are bullied, and that it is not worth the effort to tell an adult about bullying.
Notwithstanding these perceptions, research on the impact of anti-bullying programs demonstrates that school-based interventions can result in significant reductions in bullying when they include changes to school and classroom climate to increase awareness about bullying, increase teacher and family involvement, provide support to those who are bullied, and form strong social norms against bullying.
Khosropour and Walsh found that, in response to the question, "What do you think should be done about bullying in schools?," the most frequently mentioned strategy among students was "education/discussion."

Selecting Children's Literature that Addresses Bullying
Students want their teachers to discuss the issue of bullying and to demonstrate concern and support for those who are impacted. Children's literature can be an effective and non-threatening way to initiate dialogue on this topic, to promote constructive resolutions, and to change social attitudes.
The last decade has seen the emergence of a body of children's literature on bullying and a variety of social issues, so it is possible for educators to find materials that speak to the particular needs of their students. Great care must be taken, however, in selecting and presenting literature that deals with the issue of bullying. As noted in the ERIC Clearinghouse on Reading, English, and Communication Digest, "a poorly written novel with stereotyped characters and simplistic answers to complex questions is probably worse than not reading anything at all..."
, Huck, Helper, & Hickman
, Ouzts
, and Rudman
recommend that literature to help children cope with problems should have the following features:
Be well written and appropriate to the child's developmental level
Provide stories using language familiar to children that is realistic in terms of their life experience
Honestly portray the condition and future possibilities for the characters
Present multidimensional characters experiencing legitimate and relatable emotions
Explore the process of working out problems
Demonstrate clear channels of communication and responses to children's questions
Offer situations which generate genuine enthusiasm in the reader
Literature that addresses bullying will be most helpful to children when it portrays fully developed characters along all parts of the social spectrum rather than one-dimensional or clichéd personas. Books, for example, that depict all targets of bullying as "brainy nerds" and all aggressors as "dim jocks" help to perpetuate stereotypical archetypes and make it difficult for the majority of students between those margins to see themselves in the stories' characters.
Similarly, bullying occurs in a variety of social contexts and in many forms, including physical harassment, verbal intimidation, exclusion, ostracism, gossip, and rumors. Educators who employ literature to address the problem of bullying may wish to present a range of books that explore these different contexts and avoid formulaic storylines that are irrelevant to students' lives.
The way in which bullying is managed and resolved is a critical and often problematic component in many children's books. The following types of solutions represent common themes that may satisfy children's fantasies about retribution or happy endings, but which in reality are ineffective or unlikely to occur.
Though most people imagine themselves exacting revenge at some time in their lives, stories that focus on retaliation undermine community values-such as non-violence-and ignore the power dynamics that exist in most schools (which make it unlikely that socially isolated students would stand up to more popular or aggressive peers).
Suspension or Expulsion:
Studies show that as many as one in five students admit to bullying their peers periodically, which makes severe punishments such as suspension or expulsion unrealistic. According to the Stop Bullying Now! project of the Health, Resources and Services Administration, the threat of such punishments may actually discourage children from reporting bullying that they observe. The project also reports that children who frequently bully their peers are at risk of engaging in other problem behaviors and are more likely to be helped by exposure to pro-social role models at school rather than by removal or exclusion.
Peer Mediation or Conflict Resolution:
Mediation situations in which students are brought together to work out a problem are helpful to friends who have had a playground spat or disagreement, but may be traumatic for children who are forced to face their tormentors. Bullying is a form of victimization, not conflict. Mediating a bullying incident may send the inappropriate message that neither party is right or wrong, and may further victimize rather than help the target.
Since some of the above themes are common in children's literature, television, and movies, educators may wish to discuss with students the ways in which these responses to bullying are gratifying to imagine, but ineffective in reality. Such discussions can be followed up with presentations of literature that offer interventions and resolutions that can be safely emulated by children.

Constructive Responses to Bullying
Using Children's Literature to Address Bullying
Stories that offer empowering and realistic ways to cope with and respond to bullying can activate a process of dynamic interaction between readers and literature that take students through the following stages:
Students identify with characters and/or events in the story.
Students become emotionally involved in the story and express their feelings in a safe and structured setting, through discussion, writing, artwork, or other activities
Students imagine possible solutions to the issues presented in the story, and become aware of ways that their own problems might be addressed or solved
Early childhood education professor, Susan Miller, proposes the following guidelines for taking students through these stages and for developing constructive solutions to community problems:
Determine and discuss the problem. It should be meaningful, interesting, and appropriate for children.
Encourage children to think about possible solutions. Listen to and respect all of their ideas. Keep a record of the solutions suggested in case the children want to try more than one.
Help children examine the advantages and disadvantages of various solutions and then choose one that seems workable.
Explore and Implement:
Let children gather the necessary materials and resources and then, if it is feasible, implement the solution they select.
With the children, observe and discuss whether the solution to the problem was successful. If appropriate, help the children think of changes in the solution implemented, or encourage them to explore new solutions.
In order to engage students in this work, it will be necessary to set guidelines for safe and respectful communication, and to promote group norms that encourage students to behave toward one another with support and compassion. In such an atmosphere, students can be engaged through small and large group discussion, writing, role play, art work, and other activities to move from literal interpretations of books to analyses that have personal meaning and real-life applications. In this way literature can serve as a bridge that connects students to new ways of seeing themselves and others; to new coping mechanisms and social possibilities; and to their shared humanity with one another. As James Baldwin wrote, "It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive."

Note Added to 'Noah' Marketing Explaining the Film is Not Faithful to the Bible
Posted on Friday, February 28th, 2014 by Russ Fischer
This is what happens when a studio paints itself into a corner. Paramount co-financed Darren Aronofsky's Noah with the expectation that it would be able to market the film to faith-based audiences. But, surprise, surprise, what the studio got is a Darren Aronofsky film — something that isn't exactly a strict adaptation of the book of Genesis.
Paramount and various religious groups have engaged in different ways over the past few months as the studio has courted a religious audience. Various cuts of the film have been tested, and the studio has been more aggressive in pushing the movie to the faith-based audience than a general one. But a couple weeks ago it seems like truth dawned: this is a Darren Aronosfky movie, and that's not going to change. We'll see his cut in theaters, and that's all that really matters.
But one group claiming to advocate for religious audiences and broadcasters has pressured Paramount into adding a note to the film's marketing, explaining that this is not the literal story of Noah, which instead can be found in Genesis. Read More »

You appears to have missunderstood the purpose of sp_addlinkedsrvlogin. The
procedure does not login into the remote server. I have not checked, but I
would assume that you can run sp_addlinkedsrvlogin without the linked server
being available.
What sp_addlinkedsrvlogin does, as you already have discovered, is to store
information, so that when you issue a query to the linked server, SQL Server
can log in to that data source. So this is a configuration procedure that
you run once, or possible when you need to give a new user access to the
linked server.
