Kate Gosselin is Back on Television to Tackle Dancing with the Stars - Accompanied by Her Usual Chorus of Critics
SHE DIDN'T IMAGINE IT WOULD BE THIS difficult. Kate Gosselin has been putting in long days with her partner Tony Dovolani, trying to perfect the Viennese Waltz for the March 22 debut of Dancing with the Stars. It's a dream gig for the reality star, who made headlines all summer long as her marriage to husband Jon unraveled. At last, with her divorce final in December, the mom of eight (twins Cara and Mady, 9, and sextuplets Aaden, Alexis, Collin, Hannah, Joel and Leah, 5) would return to television as part of a squeaky-clean show beloved by millions. But suddenly Kate, 34, was confronted with something far trickier than any tango or two-step. No sooner had she begun rehearsals than the tabloids went back on the attack, questioning her commitment to her children for signing on to a show that films in Los Angeles, across the country from her home in Pennsylvania, and labeling her as obsessed with fame at all costs.
Forget about aching feet: The accusations hit Kate where it hurt the most. "The guilt factor I have in my life is huge," she says with a sigh. "I feel it enough all by myself, and now I need someone else adding to it for me? All the other lies people want to tell, that's one thing. But these lies-about the kind of mother I am-they need to stop. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of defending myself. Stop attacking me. I already know the odds are against me-that with eight kids, there's not enough of me to go around. But you say I'm a bad mom, it destroys me."
Not that she'll likely feel crushed for long. "I'll be damned-and yes, I said damned-if I let my kids down," Kate says heatedly. "The people who try to hurt me, they just make me more determined to do better, to try harder."
She's bringing that determination to the dance floor-and she's ready to take on the naysayers. "I hope even the moms who hate me will say, 'Oh, this is so foreign to her, and look at her willingness to be up there.' But I can't promise anyone I can pull this off," she says. Kate talked openly to PEOPLE about her new life as a single woman, how her kids are coping with her long-distance commute and why she's ready to come out fighting.
Why did you want to do Dancing with the Stars, since you'll be away from home so much?
Pretty much any work that I do requires travel, and this isn't going to be more travel, it's just more predictable. Every Tuesday night I go home, and every Sunday I go back to L.A. It's not about an obsession with fame, it's about doing what provides for my family. Period. If I was financially able to provide for eight kids on my former salary as a nurse, I would do it...but that's not possible. I feel that my job is actually beneficial because it allows me large blocks of time at home with the kids that I wouldn't have if I worked 9 to 5. If I was on a nurse's schedule of 12-hour shifts, six days a week, including holidays, would that really be better? And yes, as jobs go, this one is pretty enjoyable. Imagine that! I get to enjoy what I do! Why can't a mom have fun?
You were recently away from home for nearly two weeks. How did that affect you?
It was the longest and hardest time away from them I've ever experienced. However, Jon was with the kids 9 of the 12 days, and our custody schedule was arranged this way purposely. Had I not been away, I would not have been home-based anyway during that time period. I talk to my kids up to 10 times per day. When my phone quacks-that's my ringtone for them, a duck quack-no matter what time it is or where I am, I dive on that phone to answer that call!
What help does Jon provide-both financially and with looking after the kids-while you're away?
I cannot rely on the fact that Jon will be there to help support the kids, so I approach it as if I am the sole provider. As for time with the kids, Jon is always welcome to increase his custody time with them. I would never stop him from having ample time; in fact I encourage it any chance I have. But when he doesn't, our kids are in capable, loving hands with our babysitter.
Why have the kids not come out to Los Angeles with you?
My kids' lives have been changed and compromised and altered enough over the past year that the last thing I'm going to do is change where they live, change the school they go to. The darn dogs are even coming back. [Shoka and Nala, the family's two German shepherds, were sent away shortly after Kate and Jon split.] I realized if I had two difficult kids I wouldn't send them away and ask for new kids. I'd never quit on my kids, so why would I think I was going to quit on my dogs?
Do you think you can handle all this?
The travel I'm not worried about, it's fitting in dancing and everything else, like preparing meals, labeling them and freezing them. Cara said, "I love that we still have Mommy meals even when Mommy isn't home." So when I'm home, I'm cooking three or four days worth of food and stocking up that freezer. I'm also making sure to actually schedule fun time: an upcoming trip to this place with bouncy trampolines for the kids, a movie with the boys, a concert with the girls.
How have your kids been behaving while you've been away? Have you noticed anyone acting out?
There are eight of them, so do they fight and bicker? Yep. I grew up with four brothers and sisters, and I remember it being the same way. But nothing outrageous has been happening. Obviously there's the continued adjustment of dealing with the divorce of their parents, but I remind them not to take their anger out on people and things. I'm more determined now, hell-bent on making sure they are okay. And I see great kids, kids who have stepped up, in school and at home. And they all know Mommy loves them whether she's near or far.
What do your kids think of you doing this show?
I told them, "Mommy has been learning to dance," and Leah said, "But Mommy, you can't dance." Mady asked if she could vote for me, and I said yes. She asked if the little kids could vote; I said yes. Those could be the only eight votes we get! [Laughs]
How far outside of your comfort zone is dancing?
Don't use "dancing" and "comfort" in the same sentence! My mind is at war with my body. I get really frustrated and annoyed with myself. This process, it's like I've never learned before in my life. Learning to dance has meant facing my biggest fears, and it has brought out the hugest insecurities in me, ever. I know what I'm supposed to look like, but I feel stupid carrying it out. I feel like I'm not fit enough, I don't look good enough, I can't pull it off. I'm a huge ball of insecurities.
Well, you certainly look incredible-there are even rumors you've had some form of breast enhancement...
Plastic surgery? Please. Who has time even to think about it, let alone do it? That's just plain ridiculous. It's nice that people say I look good, but it's really hard for me to take a compliment. Good enough is never good enough for me. At the same time, there are moments where I say, "I do look good for having eight kids." I want to drop the "for having eight kids" part!
What do you find sexy?
I just always try to look my best; I don't necessarily translate it into looking sexy. Eating healthy and working out and taking care of myself make me feel good. You can pour yourself into your kids but also take time to look good too. But you know, either way, if I'm the sweatpants-wearing mom or if I look like this, I'm going to get criticized. I know that. Is there something wrong with showering, doing my hair and putting makeup on?
What do you do to stay fit?
I run every day-about three miles or so. I put the kids to bed and go downstairs to run or do yoga. I got a punching bag for Christmas that I punch and kick. I love it!
If Tony starts to give you a hard time in practice, you can put his face on the punching bag.
Oh...there are far more suitable faces I could use. Tony can get in line!
How are you adjusting to single life?
It's been a process. But we've gotten into our routine, the nine of us, and it feels more normal and natural. We're more open and we talk about things, so it's good. We're just rolling with the punches. I don't feel like there's a whole lot missing for us because I'm married to my kids essentially. Where I do feel it is I'm very aware of the fact that all decisions are on me. The domino effect of what I decide today is going to affect tomorrow and the next day and so on.
Are you entertaining dating again?
No! If Mr. Wonderful and Perfect came along and was willing to accept all of my baggage, that would be marvelous. But I don't think that person exists. And then did you notice there's really no time in my schedule?
You've said you're determined to win on DWTS. How will you feel if you don't succeed?
I do want to win. It's just that the dancing part is getting in the way of my winning. In my mind I'm winning. In my actions, not so much. But you know, if I last two weeks on the show, I've shown my kids that hard work and perseverance pays off. And if I don't win, I've shown them you don't always have to come in first. You just have to keep on trying.

List, of cons
If you want a video game console that does more than play games, the Microsoft Xbox One is the best choice. There's a bevy of streaming partners, a built-in Blu-ray Disc player, the ability to stream content from a connected computer or storage device, and more. Finding all your content is made easier thanks to the OneGuide unified guide, and you can run everything through the console under voice control. And, yes, gaming performance is top-notch, too.Gaming performance
Even gaming fanatics will be impressed. The Microsoft Xbox One isn't the most powerful gaming console you can buy -- that honor goes to the equally new Sony PlayStation 4 (Est. $400) -- but it is close enough to please even hard-core gamers. The hardware lineup closely resembles that of the PS4, including 8 GB of DDR 3 RAM, an 8-core custom Microsoft CPU, an AMD Radeon GPU and a 500 GB hard drive. The performance difference is small -- too small to be noticeable in most games -- but does crop up in a few titles available on both platforms.ProsPowerful gaming, Live TV integration, Kinect includedConsSpotty Kinect voice control, Pay wall for most online features, Large size, power brick
Boot-up from a completely powered-off state takes a minute or two. However, since the Xbox One is designed to be always on, at least to some extent, editors at Polygon.com say that once you activate its suspend mode startup takes just under 10 seconds. Initial setup is relatively painless, though you'll need to download all the latest patches and firmware updates, and calibrate the included Kinect voice- and gesture-control peripheral. In an attempt to curb the overheating and noise problems that plagued the Xbox 360, Microsoft has given the Xbox One plenty of room to breathe, and reviewers say the system runs very quietly.
Reviewers warn that the initial Xbox One game library is weak, and that the video game console can't play earlier Xbox games. However, they add that the Xbox One title lineup is a little more compelling than that of the PS4. Regardless, a lack of great games is something that's expected with a game console that's newly launched. It's also fair to expect that both consoles will gain more than their fair share of must-have titles over time.
The media epicenter of your living room. When it comes to media-based features, calling the Microsoft Xbox One "ambitious" would be an understatement. Microsoft positions the Xbox one to be a media hub for your living room. It's a solid, but not altogether successful, attempt. OneGuide integrates live TV and streaming apps to present your entertainment options in a way that makes organizing and finding your viewing choices simpler. However, not all streaming providers play well with OneGuide, and there's no way to include some content sources, like recordings on your DVR.
You can navigate to channels, turn on your TV, raise the set's volume and more using voice commands and the Kinect, which also includes a powerful infrared (IR) blaster. Some reviewers see the process as seamless and almost magical, some see it as an exercise in frustration, and yet others see it as a little of both. Speaking clearly helps, most say. So does understanding the system's limitations.
Most of the major entertainment content-streaming apps are available for the Xbox One, including several not available on the PS4. Experts and users love the new Snap feature, which lets you sticky an app to a third of your screen, multitasking during the middle of a game or live TV. One of the biggest disappointments, reviewers note, is that you'll need to purchase an Xbox Live Gold Subscription (Est. $60 per year) for accessing even the most simple of online features, including using Netflix or Skype. The PS4, on the other hand, requires a paid subscription only for online multiplayer games.
At long last, Microsoft has included a built-in Blu-ray Disc player. Unlike the PS4, that player includes support for audio CDs. It can also play MP3 files from an attached player -- something else the PS4 can't currently do. Finally, where Sony took DLNA support out of the PS4, Microsoft retains at least limited DLNA functionality -- but only for devices and formats compatible with Microsoft's Play To streaming feature.
Large in size, with a ball-and-chain power supply. The Microsoft Xbox One is reasonably attractive in black, with its basic rectangular shape, but it's not exactly stylish either. First of all, it's large -- larger than the Sony PlayStation 4 as well as the original Xbox 360. It also requires a large power brick, which experts lament; and the latest Kinect peripheral is even larger than the last one. As editors of Polygon.com note, "If you're looking for subtlety, this is not the console for you."
Connectivity is relatively robust, though the console has gone digital-only. On the back is an HDMI output, as well as a pass-through HDMI input that sends along digital signals without degrading them. That cuts down complexity and clutter by letting your Xbox One and another component -- typically your cable TV box -- share a single input on your TV. There's also an optical digital audio port, a port for the Kinect, an input for an infrared (IR) device and an Ethernet port. There are three USB 3.0 ports (two on the back, one on the side).
The Xbox One's controller doesn't stray too far from the highly praised Xbox 360's, but there are some changes. Some reviewers like the new design and feel, while others don't, and some say it makes little difference.
Experts say the new user interface is confusing at first, and learning to navigate through the layers of menus is unintuitive, so expect a fairly steep learning curve. The learning curve is even higher if you'll be relying on voice commands, as reviewers say it's trial and error when it comes to learning what the Kinect will and will not understand.

Pact includes two channels, content deal
The decks have been cleared for the TV joint venture between Indian conglom Reliance and the RTL Group, a division of German giant Bertelsmann.
India's foreign investment promotion board has approved RTL's $18 million investment. Reliance will match that figure through subsid Big Showbiz Broadcast.
The equal joint venture, announced in March, will use RTL's production arm FremantleMedia to make global entertainment formats available to Indian audiences via a reality channel and an action channel.
The channels "will address a clear void in international entertainment programming that exists in India," the companies said in a statement.
RTL has 40 TV channels and 31 radio stations across 10 European countries.
Reliance has a license to operate 20 TV channels in India. Last year, it entered into a joint venture with CBS to launch three channels.

The latest telephone scam involves fake police officers or deputies demanding money to settle non-existent warrants.
The Charleston City Police Department and Charleston County Sheriff's Office both issued warnings on the scam Thursday.
Both agencies said their officers never ask for money over the phone to settle warrants. They advised anybody getting such a call to hang up.
Police got at least two complaints from residents on South Battery Street and one from a resident on Cross Street in West Ashley Wednesday.
An officer was on scene when one of the South Battery residents was on the phone with the scammer. The officer got on the phone, and the caller continued to claim he was Capt. Davis with the Sheriff's Office even after the officer challenged him, according to a police report.
A resident on Cross Street in West Ashley also told police she got a similar call Wednesday.
Charleston County deputies got a complaint from Xavier Street in West Ashley July 27 and one from Geddes Avenue in West Ashley July 26.
None of the people who complained said they gave the callers any money.
The scammers claim to be with the sheriff's office or police department calling about an outstanding warrant, such as a missed court appearance for a traffic ticket. The fake officer or deputy says the warrant can be settled over the phone – usually for around $350 – or they will send officers to the house to arrest the person. Usually the caller wants a credit-card number to settle the warrant. In one case, the caller instructed the resident to go to a Walgreen's and get a Green Dot prepaid card and call him back with the number.
Investigators saw the same phone number in several of the calls but didn't have any luck tracing it to a person, according to the incident reports.

Scientists find what may be oldest known vertebrates
Scientists have unearthed two half-billion-year-old fossils of fish-like creatures that could be the earliest known vertebrates. The discovery of the 2 1/2 -inch fossils in China suggests that vertebrates -- animals with primitive spines or backbones -- had already undergone considerable evolution by the Cambrian epoch, from about 490 million to 545 million years ago. Many other major animal groups appear in the fossil record for the first time during this period of rapid evolution.

Taking the Long Way
Forgive, sounds good/Forget, I'm not sure I could/They say time heals everything/But I'm still waiting." So sings frontwoman Natalie Maines on "Not Ready to Make Nice," the defiant first single of the Dixie Chicks' seventh studio disc and first since the backlash from her anti-Bush comments made at a 2003 concert. Indeed, having been blacklisted by some country stations and even having received death threats, the Chicks are still "mad as hell." You can also hear that newfound edge—call them the Dixie Chicks with Attitude—on the excellent "The Long Way Around": "Moved with the shakers/Wouldn't kiss all the a—that they told me to." Yes, this time it's personal: Cowriting all their material for the first time, the Chicks also poignantly address the infertility struggles faced by Emily Robison and Martie Maguire (on "So Hard") and celebrate their kids (on "Lullaby"). With production by Rick Rubin—who has worked with everyone from Run-DMC and Red Hot Chili Peppers to Johnny Cash—and guests like Bonnie Raitt, John Mayer and Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, they move further away from the sound of the country establishment.

What is Searchlight on Campaign 2001?
on Campaign 2001 is a guide to the political races in what
many are calling New York City's most significant campaign
season in modern history.
What is so significant about it?
the first time in memory, most political offices in the city
will be wide open to people who have neither money nor connections.
Why will the races be so open?
are two reasons. This year, a new law goes into effect that
limits the terms of New York City elected officials, forcing
the mass retirement of most incumbents in the city - including
the mayor, the comptroller, the public advocate, four of the
five borough presidents, and 36 of the 51 members of the City
Council. At the same time, a new campaign finance law kicks
in, which allows any candidate who agrees to certain restrictions
to collect four dollars of matching funds for every dollar
they raise.
What does this have to do with this site?
a public service, Searchlight on Campaign 2001 has a separate
page for each race, including all the races for City Council,
that not only sorts out the candidates -- many of them new
and unfamiliar -- but also offers an opportunity to learn
about the issues, and the districts themselves.
Who is behind Searchlight on Campaign 2001?
on Campaign 2001 is a project of Gotham Gazette, a non-profit,
non-partisan, non-ideological (but non-boring) web site about
New York City news, policy and politics published by Citizens
Union Foundation, part of the oldest and largest good-government
group in the city (founded in 1897).
What's wrong with the way the regular press
covers the races?
is for you to decide. And one of our regular features, Campaign
Trail, helps you to decide. Campaign Trail provides succinct
summaries and links to campaign articles in the commercial
Who are we?
Campaign Update: Still Looking Green
By Philip Lentz
It has been decreed (on the front page of the New York Times,
for one) that this mayoral campaign is dull and boring. When,
political pundits ask, are these guys going to start attacking
one another and make things interesting?
The attacks may be some time off, but the 2001 mayoral race
is about to get the definition and shape that will likely determine
the next occupant of Gracie Mansion. With the Sept. 11 primary
two months away, television ads by all the candidates are going
to begin soon, and that, finally, will likely alert the public
that an important election is indeed on the horizon.
While the four Democratic candidates are relatively well known-all
have been running for political office for several decades--these
ads will give each a chance to reintroduce himself to New York
City voters, tell his story and finally explain why he should
be the next mayor.
The odd thing about the 2001 mayoral race is how little things
have changed since the beginning of the year. Public Advocate
Mark Green has run a smart if
safe campaign and has kept his tentative lead in the polls.
Meanwhile, his three adversaries-City Comptroller
Alan Hevesi, Council Speaker
Peter Vallone and Bronx Borough President
Fernando Ferrer-have battled to secure the second place
slot needed to face Green one-on-one in a likely Sept. 25 runoff
(which would be held if no candidate gains 40 percent, considered
a likely occurrence).
At one time or another, each of Green's three challengers has
bobbed up into second place, but the truth is that the margin
separating them has usually been too small to give any of them
In fact, the hot news of the last few months has favored Green.
Not that it has been about Green. It hasn't and that's why it
has been to his advantage. While the tabloids blare about Rudy
and Judi and Donna and The New York Times records every tittle
and jot on the city's newest politician-Republican mayoral hopeful
Bloomberg -Green has been able to float under the radar
screen, putting out position papers, remaining unscathed.
That may soon change-frontrunners inevitably become targets-but
Green remains either the first or second choice of most demographic
voting groups and that assures that he will survive to the runoff
one way or another. Some, especially in rival mayoral camps,
say Green's support is thin and will fade, as frontrunners often
do (remember President Muskie or Mayor Abzug?). But given the
lack of a galvanizing issue or personality, knocking Green off
his perch may be more difficult as the primary approaches.
Many initially thought Hevesi had the best chance to challenge
Green. He had the most money, the strongest political support
and the most reputable political consultant in Hank Morris.
But despite an early media campaign waged in April and May,
Hevesi remains back in the pack. His heavy television barrage
did comfort some supporters and helped Hevesi lock up the backing
of the Queens Democratic organization and the Liberal Party.
But the third part of Hevesi's expected endorsement troika,
the United Federation of Teachers, remains on the sidelines,
depriving Hevesi of needed momentum and again raising doubts
about his campaign.
Hevesi's problem is that he has not been able to shake Peter
Vallone. Both Queens politicians are battling for the same chunk
of voters-mostly white, moderate, outer borough ethnics-and
many political observers believe if neither emerges as the favorite
of these voting blocks, both could miss the runoff. With some
polls showing Ferrer in second place, that theory has some validity.
More troubling for Hevesi is that Vallone, rather than fading
away, is starting to gain momentum. Despite lounging in the
political basement for most of the spring (many polls show the
speaker in fourth place), Vallone recently locked up the endorsement
of the powerful District Council 37 labor union, which represents
125,000 municipal workers.
DC 37 is the first major union to make an endorsement and its
decision gives the speaker a much-needed psychological shot
in the arm. Whether Vallone can rally enough to move into second
place is unclear, but if he's doing better, Hevesi must be doing
The prime beneficiary of the Vallone-Hevesi tussle is Freddy
Ferrer. Unlike his foes, Ferrer has staked out some clear political
turf on the left, trying to put together an Hispanic-black-white
liberal coalition angry at the excesses of the Giuliani years.
Ferrer is the only candidate with a strong, well-defined base-Latino
voters-and he needs only to add a smidgen of voters from several
other ethnic groups to get into the runoff.
The cornerstone to his strategy has been to attract black votes,
but Ferrer has so far had trouble denting Green's popularity
among African-Americans. Ferrer did win the endorsement of the
state's only black elected official, state Comptroller
H. Carl McCall, but most other black leaders are either
supporting other candidates (like former Mayor David Dinkins,
backing Green) or staying on the sidelines (like Rep.
Charles Rangel, the black leader of Harlem).
As a result, the fate of Ferrer's campaign may lie with the
90-day resident of the Brooklyn federal detention center who
has so far remained maddeningly neutral. Yes, the Rev. Al Sharpton's
endorsement may be what Ferrer needs to get into the runoff.
That backing seems likely, given that Sharpton shared the first
40 days of his confinement with Ferrer's campaign manager, Bronx
Democratic Chairman Roberto Ramirez (both were jailed for civil
disobedience to protest the Navy bombing on the Puerto Rican
island of Vieques).
But Sharpton long ago gained a reputation as mercurial and
unpredictable, so Sharpton's release in late August will undoubtedly
cause some fretful nail-biting at Ferrer headquarters later
this summer.
Will Messrs. Hevesi, Vallone and Ferrer at some point aim their
fire at frontrunner Green? Probably, but a negative strategy
may not work. In a four-way race, there's no way to know a political
attack will ricochet. For example, if Hevesi goes after Green,
voters who become disenchanted with Green may turn not to Hevesi,
but to Vallone or Ferrer. Not knowing how the political billiard
ball will bounce makes negative ads very risky.
Could Green screw up and turn the Democratic primary into a
free-for-all? Of course. At some point in this campaign, the
smooth-sailing Green will run into turbulence and he will be
tested. It might be an off-handed remark, it might be a smirk
or it might be one of those glib sound bites for which he is
so well known. Or it might be an event-like a police shooting
or civil disturbance-where Green speaks too slowly or too quickly.
The test will come. The question is whether he will pass it
and, if he does not, whether any of his opponents can take advantage
of his stumble. Eight weeks to go, and the public is about to
tune in . . .

Find what city council district you are
in -- and learn more about what's going on there, and
who's running.
What is this?
Gotham Gazette's Searchlight on Campaign 2001 offers a comprehensive
look at what is being called New York City's most significant
campaign season in modern history. (See the left-hand column
for an explanation).
1 -- Lower Manhattan
Whoever wins the election in district 1 will represent immigrant
Chinese garment workers, as well as Wall Street traders living
in Battery Park City. There are several candidates hoping
to be the council's firsts -- the first Asian-American man,
the first Asian-American woman, the first gay Rhodes Scholar,
the first dot-com guru -- running against some politically
well connected opponents. Endorsements and fundraising will
play a big role in this race. But voter turnout could be the
main determinant of who will next represent district 1 on
the council. The key question is how many voters from each
community will come out on Election Day.
7 -- Washington Heights, Manhattan
The northern tip of Manhattan has become one of the most popular
places for new immigrants to call home. The northern tip of
Manhattan is a place that today's new immigrants call home.
The majority have come from the Dominican Republic, but also
from countries in South America, Eastern Europe, and Asia.
But it is not just new immigrants that are moving in. Students,
artists, and other Manhattanites looking for less expensive
rents and larger apartments have also moved north. Ten Democratic
candidates are competing for the 15,000 voters expected on
primary day. The winner who emerges from a crowded field of
candidates will have to balance the needs of the newcomers
with those who have lived there for years.
16 -- Highbridge, Bronx
The neighborhoods of district 16 are the city's poorest, with
the highest rate of unemployment and the lowest median household
income. But those who live there also point out that much
is positive and stable about the area, thanks in large part
to local organizations, not-for-profit agencies, and houses
of worship that help hold the neighborhoods together. Each
candidate for City Council believes that through his or her
connections to churches and local organizations, they can
help empower the community toward a better life. Helen Foster,
the current council member daughter, will face Michael Benjamin,
who has worked as an aide to several government officials
and Anthony Curry, a Bronx neighborhood activist.
20 -- Northeast Flushing, Queens
This year district 20 may elect the first Asian-American ever
to the City Council to an area which now has the second highest
number of immigrants from Korea and Taiwan in the city. There
are three Asian candidates in the Democratic race who have
each drawn big endorsements. Council Speaker Peter Vallone
endorsed Terence Park, City Comptroller Alan Hevesi endorsed
John Liu, and the New York Times recently endorsed Ethel Chen
The campaign has also drawn national and international press
25 -- Jackson Heights, Queens
Thirty-seventh Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens is one of
the most diverse streets in the world. Little India quickly
blends into Little Colombia, with vendors selling Latin American
food to Colombians, Peruvians, Ecuadorians, Mexicans, and
Uruguayans. And each summer, the Queens Pride Parade fills
the same street with rainbow banners. So it is no surprise
that this election year the district produced a diverse field
of candidates. A number of them, however, found out that getting
on the ballot is not an easy task, especially when the Queens
Democratic organization sends teams of lawyers to challenge
petitions. But five Democratic candidates survived and will
face off on September 11.
31 -- South East Queens
When a heavy rain hits southeast Queens, many residents in
neighborhoods like Springfield Gardens, Laurelton and Rosedale
head to the basement with a bucket in hand. And it has been
that way for the last 50 years. In the rush to build housing
in the area after World War II, developers overlooked the
need for storm drains in hopes that the city would eventually
build a city-wide sewer system. The plan never materialized
and the area has experienced "100-year rains" three times
in the last decade. The eight Democrats -- all with little
experience overseeing massive infrastructure projects--will
try to convince voters that they can finally solve the flooding
35 -- Central Brooklyn
The residents in council district 35 have some of the highest
incomes in Brooklyn and some of the lowest. They can play
in a famous park and a beautiful botanical garden, and live
in the city's most crumbling public housing. They can attend
one of the four institutions of higher learning in the district,
and the worst-scoring high schools in the city. Such juxtapositions
are a way of life for a district that includes the Brooklyn
Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Botanical
Gardens; mid dle-class African-American communities near Prospect
Park; immigrant communities from Haiti, Sierra Leon, Nigeria,
and Trinidad, and in Crown Heights, a mix of Hasidic Jews
and African-Americans. Seven Democratic candidates are campaigning
in hopes that they can bring some kind of unity, and attention,
to the area. Their backgrounds are as diverse as the neighborhoods
39 -- Park Slope/Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn
The candidates in district 39 include a chief of staff for
an Assemblywoman, the husband of a member of U.S. Congress,
a lawyer for the Legal Aid Society, an attorney and president
of the Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats, Senator Hillary
Clinton's campaign manager, the district manager of Community
Board 6, and a labor organizer. This is the race to watch
this year. The group of high-profile Democrats have raised
a lot of money, almost $1.4 million combined.
45 -- East Flatbush
In no place in the city are the effects of campaign finance
reform and term limits being felt more than in East Flatbush.
The seven Democratic candidates seeking to represent this
largely West Indian district come from a number of Caribbean
nations. Many have been working on politicians' staffs and
serving with community groups, clearly hoping someday to win
their own elected office. Term limits has presented them with
that opportunity, and they want to make the most of it. But
this race that usually draws only about 8,000 voters could
be decided by just a few votes. The candidates are attempting
to come up with anything that will separate them from the
49 -- North Shore, Staten Island
Staten Island has always been somewhat of a suburban stepchild
to New York City. When a 1998 survey asked New Yorkers why
they go to Staten Island, the top two responses were ''visiting
friends and relatives" and ''passing through.'' But in many
ways, the north shore has more in common with areas of Manhattan
and Brooklyn than with the rest of the Staten Island. The
top priority for all the candidates -- Jon Del Giorno, an
administrative manager for the Board of Elections, Mike McMahon,
an attorney and counsel to current Councilmember Jerome O'Donovan,
and Debi Rose, an administrator at the College of Staten Island
and the first African-American candidate in Staten Island
politics -- is to make sure that the island becomes more than
just a turn-around-point for the over one million tourists
who ride the free ferry from Manhattan each year.

I am using VS 2010, Windows 7, SQLEXPRESS 2008 R2, ASP.NET 4.0, C#, Linq, and a web application project with a small project just to display records in a database created in SQL Server Management Studio. If I use the VS development server it works OK. If I use the IIS server, I get the error in the Subject line. If I use the sa ID and password in the connection string, it works (I have mixed mode set up in SQLExpress). My connection string is: "Data Source=MyServer\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Projects;Integrated Security=True". I don't want to deploy apps with an ID and password so what do I do to resolve this? I have already spent many, many hours searching for the answer to this in MSDN and have not found anything that makes any difference.
Ray Stevens
Answer 1
If you are using the default anonymous user in IIS, then you should be able to log into SQL Server with integrated security.
Answer 2
How do I specify the "default anonymous user" when the above login is supplied for me by the IIS APPPool?
Answer 3
How did you get this user name for the Application Pool?
Answer 4
These user names seem to be supplied by the IIS 7.0 ApplicationPoolIdentity. I don't understand where the login comes from and why it uses an application pool for a login. I have tried different logins in the connection string and the only one that works is the sa login. I have set mixed mode on SQLEXPRESS so it is not that. When I turn off the use of IIS by using the development web server then everything works OK but that is not what a normal web site works like. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Answer 5
In IIS Manager, go to the website and in the IIS section, select the Authentication icon and open it. You should have a list of authentications. Right-click on Anonymous Authentication and select Edit. I believe that this should be set to Application pool identity. If not, then select this.
Next, go to the Application Pools and select the pool your website is in. In the listing, you should see the Identity column. It should be NetworkService for the pool in this column. If not, then right-click on the pool and select Advanced Settings. Under the Process Model section, set the Identity to NetworkService by clicking the button on the right-side of the text box and in the dialog, using the Built-in account dropdownlist.
Try your website now through IIS.
Answer 6
Provide the appropriate logins in SQL for the asp.net process account, in IIS 7 it's the app pool account by default.
Answer 7
I tried what you said and this is the error I get when it does the ProjectsGV.Databind(): "cannot open database "Projects" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'".
Answer 8
What do you mean by: Provide the appropriate logins in SQL for the asp.net process account, in IIS 7. Which one do you mean, SQL or IIS 7? I am confused by your answer.
Answer 9
Let's try this instead:
Answer 10
I tried everything I could in the first reference with no luck. The second reference gives me a "page not found". I have, somehow, gotten "LocalSystem" to work by selecting it in the advanced settings. I created a "SqlManagerUi" user in the Database Properties | Permissions | Users or roles under the Projects database in SQL Server 2008 R2 Server Management Studio. This allowed LocalSysten to work but I don't know why since none of the grant check boxes seen to persist so nothing gets changed???
Answer 11
I work in a developer virtual machine AD 2008 R2 domain member with
Windows Server Enterprise 2008 R2
SQLEXPRESS bundeled with Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Trial
SQL Management Studio R2 (64 bit)
IIS 7.5 (Framework 4.0)
I solved so
Good work

Good to be back at the ballpark after a 5-day layoff (6 for me).
Once again, thanks to all of our troops currently serving and to those who have served. A big shout out to all you Marines out there like my father, Sgt Douglas Axe USMC.
Semper Fi men.
What a doozy in our return to ABS last night. The Chiefs pulled off a big comeback, the bullpen was brilliant again, I almost caught my first foul ball, and we were treated to some good live music.
All that and more in this edition of "Tales from the PA Booth" after the jump...
The Comeback Kids
With Ismael Ramirez clearly struggling and not fully recovered from a earlier groin injury, (more on him in a minute) The Chiefs were staring at a 5-0 hole before you could say "Norfolk" at the end of the 2nd inning.
But that's why they play the games, isn't it kids?
The short, short version.
John Hattig had a 2-RBI single in the bottom of the 2nd to atleast make things interesting, both both teams went quiet for 4 innings, then in the 7th, Howie Clark hit one square over the Melvin and Melvin sign to ignite the powder keg.
Tied 5-5.
The next inning, Erik Kratz hit an RBI-single over the pushed in infield, Russ Adams had a 2 RBI-Double and that was all she wrote.
8-5 good guys.
Ramirez Rocked
*It was clear Ismael Ramirez was not feeling it early. Ramirez gave up a HR, Double, and RBI single (all to right center) before anyone could take the first sips of their frosty beverages or open that box of cracker jacks. Ramirez clearly isn't 100% while still recovering from a groin twinge he suffered back on May 17.
Final line score for Ismael:
2 innings, 5 hits, 5 runs (all earned), 1 walk, 0 strikeouts, 2 HR given up, and a groin still not up to snuff.
Crowell answers the call
So with Ramirez still hurting, Doug Davis had to turn to the bullpen early. Jim Crowell took Ramirez's place and was brilliant.
Crowell went 4.2 innings, allowed just three hits (all singles), 0 runs, 1 walk, 1 K. Crowell got the Tides 1-2-3 in the 4th, 5th, and 6th innings all on groundouts or flyouts.
Brilliant Bullpen
Crowell's dominance, along with Jordan DeJong and Blaine Neal shutting the door allowing 0 hits between them, continued an impressive streak for the Chiefs bullpen. While in Pawtucket, the bullpen had a had a 14-inning scoreless streak and had a 1.29 ERA entering last night's game in the last three games.
Two of the great defensive plays of the year happened last night.
In the 2nd, 3B Brad Hassey dove to his right, snagged a ground ball, hopped up, and somehow beat JR House to 1st with the throw. It was breathtaking.
Then, in the 3rd, Norfolk RF Luis Montanez made a running shoestring catch on a John-Ford Griffin shot to right that went against everything I learned about physics. I still don't know how he made that catch.
Almost had one!
Been to alot of baseball games in my life and have never come close to getting a foul ball.
My best shot came last night. Sitting in the PA Booth of all places.
Wayne Lydon sent a screamer behind home plate that hit inches below my open window.
It even prompted a "You alright, Axeman?" from a concerned blog reader below in the luxury box.
But even better, it prompted a "Hey Axeman, how about those Red Sox!" from below as well.
That made me feel better about having to pay off a wager with scoreboard guru (and fellow Chris Angel "Mindfreak" fan) Richie from the Yankees-Red Sox Series.
I will have a foul ball this year. Oh yes. I will have a foul ball this year.
The Champ is here!
Scoreboard guru Craig was back in the booth mere hours after assisting the Lemoyne Lacrosse team down in Baltimore after the Dolphins won the 2nd of their back-to-back national titles.
No, he doesn't play.
He was a jack of all trades media guy in Baltimore, which earned him the official on-field "Champions" hat he was sporting in the booth last night.
Did he remember to pick one up for his buddy The Axeman?
That would be a big negative.
Grrr. Craig. Grrrr.
Jazzfest comes early
Fans who made the Memorial Day trek to ABS were treated to some great live music last night. 5-time SAMMY Award winner Ronnie Leigh sang the National Anthem and Jazz star Nancy Kelly sang "God Bless America" and a great live version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" as well.
Great stuff.
Here is some more info on Leigh and Kelly. I know I'll be looking to score a CD or download some of their tunes.
Dogs and Cats living together! Mass Hysteria!
How often will you see Curtis Thigpen and Chad Mottola steal a base in the same game? I was looking around for the four horsemen after seeing that.
Stat of the Day
The Chiefs "improved" their record to 4-22 when trailing after 6 innings.
Big Leaguer in Da House
Victor Zambrano is scheduled to make a rehab start in Syracuse either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Until next time this is public address announcer Brent Axe.

A Methodist preacher introduced me to ACTS. Not the biblical book, but the pattern for praying.
Mark Wilson may not remember his talk at a church cookout 20 years ago, but ACTS stuck with me, and I use it every day.
The acronym covers what we should include when we pray privately. With computerized, cell-phone lives eating up our time, it's hard to find even five minutes to talk to God.
The only way I can be consistent is to pray in the shower. Yes, when the water flows, I start with the A in ACTS.
Adoration. "Father, you are the great God, and I praise you." Sometimes I pray more, but this is the concise version.
Confession. "Father, forgive all of us, and especially me, of our sins, and help us to turn from them." I go through a list of my worst sins, ending with one that summarizes all of them: selfishness.
Thanksgiving. I start with my wife, Kathy, our marriage, my family, her family and Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. Next are other spiritual blessings, followed by the essential things God gives us in this life, such as jobs, houses, cars, food, water and warm beds. I thank God for the nonessential, but fun, things, like our little dog, Abbey, sports, movies, music and dessert.
"Thank you for the relative good health you've kept us and our families and friends in through the years, physically, mentally and spiritually, and I pray that will continue."
Supplication (the fancy word for "asking"). I ask God to heal and bless a specific family whose young son died last year; I say each family member's name. And I pray that the little boy is in heaven and "having a good time" as a preacher said at his funeral. I pray for three specific people who have cancer and maybe others who need healing. I pray for those who need mental or emotional help.
I say the names of five friends and relatives who have died recently. "Father, I pray that they're in heaven with you and that you'll bless their families." Then I name four friends who say they don't believe in God. I pray that they will.
I ask for family business opportunities and that if we are blessed in that way, we in turn will bless others and that God will receive the glory.
I pray for my day, for success in my classes and for efficiency in getting done the things on my "to-do" list.
"Father, help me, my family and friends to live this day and every day for you. I pray that each of us will be saved as described in the Bible and that each of us will be in heaven with you forever. If it's your will, I pray that we also will be in heaven with our loved ones forever. And I pray that you will extend heaven as far as you want to throughout humanity."
By that time, I'm turning the water off. "I pray all these things humbly but at the same time expectantly, knowing your power, your love and your grace. I pray all these things in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen."
That's probably superficial and immature compared to Christians who have a closer walk with God than I do.
But it's one way to get started. And the shower certainly fits in with Matthew 6:6: "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
A conversation with the creator is reward enough.
Just wondering
Just wondering how this comment by William Law could change society: "There is nothing that makes us love a man so much as praying for him."

EAST BRUNSWICK — There was a time when Lorie Van Auken drew national attention to issues surrounding the 9/11 attacks but, for the last few years, she has lived quietly in the East Brunswick home she shared with her late husband, Kenneth. Alone, she raised their two children to adulthood, began a business designing and selling jewelry, planted an organic garden.
And, thanks to a program offered by the Rutgers University Agricultural Experiment Station, she became a beekeeper — an avocation that has brought her right back to advocacy.
"It's like the 9/11 Commission all over again," said Van Auken, a woman who was both one of the driving forces behind the creation of the commission and one of its severest critics. Now she believes the federal government has not been completely truthful about the causes of the mysterious death of honeybees.
Van Auken is one of four New Jersey women, all widowed on Sept. 11, 2001, who lobbied for the creation of a national commission to investigate the circumstances of the 9/11 attacks. They were variously known as the "Jersey Widows" or the "Jersey Girls." While critical of some of the panel's work, they also pressed Congress for implementation of the recommendations of the commission headed by former Gov. Thomas Kean.
She heard of the Rutgers program, promoted by the university as a way of reviving New Jersey's dying honey industry. The program's website points out that the number of beekeepers in the state has fallen from 5,000 to 3,000.
"Managed beekeeping is essential to maintaining New Jersey's 'Garden State' heritage," the site says. "New Jersey depends heavily on honeybees for crop pollination and for the production of honey and related products."
"I had heard of the death of honeybees and thought this was something small I could do to help out," said Van Auken. "I didn't expect it to become a cause."
But it has. Although Rutgers doesn't take a position on the issue, many beekeepers and their state and national organizations have complained that the use of pesticides genetically engineered into plants — especially corn — has contributed to the mysterious death of entire beehives, a phenomenon termed "colony collapse disorder," or CCD.
The widespread death of honeybees — insects responsible for the pollination of much of the world's crops — threatens to become an international crisis, according to a United Nations report. North America experienced a "significant and constant decline in domestic honeybee colony numbers" — including a 75 percent mortality rate in 2007.
The U.N. study blamed a number of factors, including pesticides. Among them is clothianidin, a substance genetically engineered into crops. Bayer CropScience, the German manufacturer of the pesticide, insists that its proper use doesn't kill bees. It blamed misuse of the product for the death of many bee colonies in Germany.
"An accidental happening of this kind does not cast general doubt on the safety of products containing clothianidin under correct use conditions," the firm reported on its website.
The controversy over the pesticide has become part of the international dispute over genetically engineered products throughout the world. Organic farmers and their associations are battling with giant chemical corporations — and the corporations are winning. Most corn and soybean crops in the United States are grown using genetically altered seeds containing pesticides. "It kills not only the insects that hurt the plants but also other insects, like bees," said Liz Nelson of Franklin, another amateur beekeeper introduced to the hobby by Rutgers. She contended that the pesticides also get in the water supply.
The controversy took a new turn recently when an internal study from the federal Environmental Protection Agency citing the risks of clothianidin to honeybees was leaked. National organizations of beekeepers and environmental groups demanded the EPA rescind its approval of the pesticide; it refused.
Van Auken is trying to organize amateur beekeepers throughout the country to demand a ban on the pesticides.
"I didn't think getting involved in beekeeping would lead me to be fighting the federal government again," said Van Auken.
