High Security
Windows Server 2008 is the most secure Windows Server yet. The operating system has been hardened to help protect against failure and several new technologies help prevent unauthorized connections to your networks, servers, data, and user accounts. Network Access Protection (NAP) helps ensure that computers that try to connect to your network comply with your organization's security policy. Technology integration and several enhancements make Active Directory services a potent unified and integrated Identity and Access (IDA) solution. And Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) and BitLocker Drive Encryption allow you to more securely deploy your AD database at branch office locations.
Windows Server 2008 delivers valuable new functionality and powerful improvements to the core Windows Server operating system to help organizations of all sizes increase control, availability, and flexibility for their changing business needs. New Web tools, virtualization technologies, security enhancements, and management utilities help save time, reduce costs, and provide a solid foundation for your information technology (IT) infrastructure.
Solid Foundation
Windows Server 2008 provides a solid foundation for all of your server workload and application requirements while being easy to deploy and manage. Hallmark Windows Server reliability and enhanced high availability features help ensure your critical applications and data are available when you need them.
- Initial Configuration Tasks moves interactive elements of setup to after installation, eliminating the need for the administrator to interact with the installation of the operating system.
- Server Manager, the expanded Microsoft Management Console (MMC), provides a one-stop interface for server configuration and monitoring with wizards to streamline common server management tasks.
- Windows PowerShell, a new optional command-line shell and scripting language, enables administrators to automate routine system administration tasks across multiple servers.
Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, the next-generation hypervisor-based server virtualization technology, allows you to consolidate servers and use hardware more efficiently. Several enhancements to Terminal Services (TS) improve presentation virtualization. And simpler licensing terms makes using these technologies more straightforward.
- Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V allows you to virtualize server roles as separate virtual machines (VMs) running on a single physical machine, without the need to buy third-party software.
- Multiple operating systems -- Windows, Linux, and others -- can be deployed in parallel on a single server using Hyper-V.
- New storage features, such as pass-through disk access and dynamic storage addition, allow VMs more access to data, and give external programs and services more access to data stored on VMs.
Windows Server 2008 includes improved Web administration, diagnostics, development, and application tools with Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS 7.0), a major upgrade from IIS 6.0. Windows Server 2008 unifies the Microsoft Web publishing platform, including IIS 7.0, ASP.NET, Windows Communication Foundation, and Windows SharePoint Services.
- Modular design and installation options allow installation of only the features needed, reducing attack surfaces and making patch management easier.
- IIS Manager, a new task-based management interface, plus a new appcmd.exe command-line tool make administration easier.
- Programmatic access to configuration stores through WMA or Microsoft.Web.Administration, a new management API that enables editing the XML configuration files for your Web server, sites, or applications.
The Windows Server 2008 operating system is hardened, integrates several identity and access technologies, and includes multiple security innovations to more easily deploy a policy-driven network that helps protect your server infrastructure, your data, and your business.
- Security Configuration Wizard (SCW) helps administrators configure the operating system for the server roles being deployed to reduce the attack surface area, resulting in a more robust and more secure server environment.
- Network Access Protection helps ensure your network and systems aren't compromised by unhealthy computers, isolating and/or remediating those computers that don't comply with the security policies you set.
- Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) delivers several enhancements to the Windows Server 2008 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), including PKIView for monitoring the health of Certification Authorities (CAs) and a new, more secure COM control for certificate Web enrollment in place of ActiveX.
Top 11 Reasons to Upgrade to Windows Server 2008
Microsoft Windows Server 2008, with built-in Web and virtualization technologies, enables businesses to increase the reliability and flexibility of their server infrastructure. New virtualization tools, Web resources, and security enhancements help save time, reduce costs, and provide a platform for a dynamic and optimized datacenter. Powerful new tools, like Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 and Server Manager, provide more control over servers, and streamline Web, configuration, and management tasks. Advanced security and reliability enhancements, such as Network Access Protection and the Read-Only Domain Controller, harden the operating system and help protect the server environment to ensure a solid foundation on which to build businesses.
- Server Consolidation and Resource Optimization -- Hyper-V - Most servers operate at far below their capacities, with as much as 80 to 90 percent of their processing power unused, on average. With Hyper-V, the Windows Server 2008 virtualization solution, a single physical server can host the workloads of multiple Line of Business servers. Hyper-V helps organizations to achieve optimal use of their hardware resources and provides the agility needed to adapt to changing IT needs
- Flexible Application Access for Remote Users -- TS RemoteApp - Windows Server 2008 provides improvements and innovations to Terminal Services with solutions, like Terminal Services RemoteApp (TS RemoteApp), that allow users to access individual applications, instead of a computer desktop in a Terminal Server session.
- Modular, Minimal Installation -- Server Core - Many network servers perform specific dedicated and mission-critical roles within the network. The new Server Core installation option provides a minimal environment for running specific server roles. This helps improve reliability and efficiency, giving the IT department the ability to better utilize existing hardware. It also simplifies ongoing administration and patch management requirements by reducing the need to update unneeded files and functionality.
- Delivering Rich Web Content and Applications -- IIS 7.0 - As Web content gets richer and the Web becomes a viable platform for delivering business applications, the Web server is moving to the center of many networks. IIS 7.0 delivers solutions for today's demanding content, including streaming media and Web applications in Active Server Pages and PHP.
- Improved Network Performance and Control -- New TCP/IP Stack - The efficient use of bandwidth has a direct impact on the productivity of users working in remote locations that rely on WAN connections to the organization's central servers. The redesigned "next generation" TCP/IP included in Windows Server 2008 provides vastly improved performance in a remote location scenario, offering faster throughput and more efficient routing of network traffic.
- Preventing Unhealthy Devices from Connecting to the Network -- NAP - With the increasing number of mobile users and corporate partners that must connect to an organization's network, protecting the security of that network from outside threats is an ongoing challenge. Network Access Protection (NAP) in Windows Server 2008 helps prevent non-compliant computers from accessing an organization's network.
- Supporting Business Continuity for Demanding Workloads -- High Availability Features - Windows Server 2008 provides increased scalability for the most demanding business solutions and helps keep businesses operating through unplanned downtime with high availability features. With support for failover clusters, Network Load Balancing, dynamic hardware partitioning, robust storage options, and advanced machine-check architecture, Windows Server 2008 helps safeguard against single-point-of-failure problems.
- Enabling Secure Collaboration -- Active Directory Federated Rights Management - Companies need to share information with partners and clients without losing control over that information. Rights Management Services enables organizations to control how documents are used -- including who can view them, whether they can be printed, even whether they can be forwarded or deleted -- both internally and externally.
- Connecting Heterogeneous Environments - Windows Server 2008 includes Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA), a multi-user UNIX environment that supports more than 300 UNIX commands, utilities, and shell scripts. Users can maintain one user name and password for Windows domains and UNIX systems, synchronizing the credentials automatically when one changes.
- Enabling Top-Shelf Service and Support for Remote Sites - Remote sites, such as branch offices, can be an IT challenge. Often, there is no local IT staff, making the deployment of software and security updates expensive and time-consuming. It can be difficult to enforce security and IP standards in a remote site.
- Easing Administration, Management, and Automation -- Server Manager and PowerShell - The Server Manager Console provides a single, unified console for managing a server's configuration and system information, displaying server status, identifying problems with server role configuration, and managing all roles installed on the server. Built on the Service Modeling Language (SML) platform, Server Manager allows administrators to complete tasks with fewer clicks without having to navigate between multiple tools and interfaces.

To call Baltimore a Southern city feels like a stretch, but geography never stopped nobody from rocking according to their flavor of choice, and J Roddy Walston & The Business started out in Tennessee, anyhow.
The swaggering foursome kicks out some of the most enjoyable Southern-fried rock 'n' roll to be found in this generation, not bothering to reinvent a formula that requires no adjustments. Walston's voice is rich and commanding, and he uses it to string together notes in warmly hospitable fashion. This music sounds like barbecue tastes.

Kids share verdicts in KXLY Annual Toy Test
SPOKANE, Wash. - Can you believe the holiday season is here? You know what that means: It's time to shop, and time for the results to the KXLY Annual Toy Test.
This year KXLY teamed up with Figpickels Toy Emporium in Coeur d'Alene with a new tradition at the Coeur d'Alene Resort. Out of 200 applications, 12 kids, ranging in age from 5 to 12, from around the Inland Northwest were chosen to be a part of the coveted toy testing team.
"I wanted to be a toy tester because I wanted to play with these toys and bring people good things from Santa," 5-year-old toy tester Brock Due said.Toy Test Review
Their only job was to put these toys to the test and rate them 1 to 5. One being the worst, five the best.
"When you look at every toy you are like wow!" 12-year-old toy tester Dakotah Andrews said.
"Well of course I started over at the action rubber band guns," 10-year-old toy tester Jakob Peterson said.
There were tons of guns and gadgets for Jakob and the gang to play with but the AK-47 Rubber Band Gun seemed to be the favorite. All the kids also wanted to play with the EZ Roller, but the only problem was that it wasn't that easy to ride on the carpet.
"It's kind of hard you have got to keep pushing your legs back and forth," 10-year-old toy tester Megan Corette said.
If you want your ride to be a bit more fun, it's probably best to take the EZ Roller outside.
Kids like Megan enjoy a challenge and that's why she loved playing with the Perplexus Epic.
"It's like a maze, you have to get from front to start, it's really challenging," Megan said.
It's not very challenging to play with the Emerson Karaoke Player. Dakotah was the only one to get in front of the mic. He liked all the song options but wasn't completely sold on the gadget.
"I think a bigger screen and better audio would be a lot better," Dakotah said.
As for the stocking stuff, the toy testers loved Rocket Balloons. A pack of balloons costs about $10. You inflate the balloon, let it go and watch it swirl in the air.
We've talked toys, so now it's time to talk about shopping secrets this season.
- Tip One: Get creative! Kids like unique toys that they can play with to expand their minds.
- Tip Two: Action! Action! Action! Kids love to work out their pent up energy!
- Tip Three: Just have fun!
Don't let holiday shopping stress you out this year; follow these simple tips and you'll do terrific.

Michelle Obama's Makeup
Happy MLK today! It's nice to have a day off. I had an exhausting weekend. I had two great makeup gigs that I'll share with you soon. One includes a celebrity photographer who has shot with artists like Jay Z, Prince, Allan Iverson and more! I also did a huge sweet 16 party, it was definitely super sweet 16 style. Stay tuned for more!
Meanwhile, with inauguration tomorrow, I thought it would be appropriate to focus on our First Lady Elect. Many have stated the she is the next style icon. Never has their been such an exemplary source of style in the White House since the era of Jackie O.
Michelle Obama is known for her subtle and polished look. Her makeup, hair, and clothing is always on point. The focus on her makeup is keeping your skin looking great and going for a natural yet glamorous style. Her makeup to me looks very Bobbi Brown. I made a video to show some pics and tips for Michelle Obama's look.
A few of the video highlights for your viewing pleasure:

Hubbard Lake Road being prepped for improvements
HUBBARD LAKE – A survey crew kept busy in freezing weather Wednesday, pounding construction stakes into the ground for the next phase of permits required to rebuild an 8,000-foot section of Hubbard Lake Road.
The pavement, from Bennett to Spruce roads, is scheduled to be replaced sometime this summer, if all goes according to plan, Jesse Campbell, Alcona County Road Commission managing director, said Wednesday. Bids should go out in April for the the project, which includes crushing the existing surface, adding road base material, replacing culverts, and putting down a new asphalt surface with a three-foot paved shoulder.
"There have been a lot of complaints," Campbell said.
The roadway cuts through a swampy, low-laying area, and seasonal freezing and thawing causes the asphalt to shift and crack.
Improvements were last made in 1984. A crew covered the road's surface with a layer of asphalt, which was the accepted practice at the time, Campbell said.
The best time to construct the new $562,875 roadway will be in July or August, when the area has dried out, he said.
However, those months also are a busy time for summer activities and could impact local businesses, including Churchill Pointe Inn, a popular restaurant and lodge open May through October.
The restaurant, and other businesses also could be affected in 2014 when the county improves the remaining 1.5 miles of Hubbard Lake Road from Bennett to Hubert roads, Campbell said.
The county held a public hearing on improvements in January.
In 2006, the last time a road count was made, an average of 565 vehicles traveled that section of Hubbard Lake Road daily, he said.
One of the biggest parts of the project involves tearing out and replacing culverts under the road that drain water from the swamp, Campbell said. An examination of bore holes done in October revealed that underneath the road bed is an 8-inch layer of moist sand and silt mixed together.
County commissioners want the road kept open at least for local property owners, but a detour will be required for through traffic.
Closures will be up to the road contractor who submits the winning bid, Campbell said.
More than $204,000 of the cost is being provided by Caladonia Township, which levys a road millage tax from property owners. Campbell also was able to secure $358,310 at a recent Region 9 Rural Task Force meeting, where money collected by state and federal agencies is divided up based on priorities.
According to the commission, other road projects are scheduled for 2014. They include reconstruction of Bamfield Road from M-65 east to North Lake Road east of Glennie. Bamfield, from AuSable Road west a half mile, will also be improved with a new guardrail, signage and some realignment. Work is also set for Black River Road, from US-23 to F-41 in Alcona Township.

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is another form of external radiation therapy. Using computer-generated 3-D images from dozens of CT scans, IMRT maps the tumor precisely, then bombards it with high-intensity radiation.
This treatment allows a higher dose of radiation to be delivered to the tumor, potentially increasing the chance of a cure. At the same time, IMRT radiation is able to avoid organs and other healthy tissue, thereby shielding them from radiation exposure. IMRT's precision means that many hard-to-reach and "untreatable" tumors are now within range, even some that are wrapped around a patient's spine or in delicate regions of the brain.
To find a radiation oncologist in Memphis, Tennessee, please call 888.777.5959 or use our physician locator.

Topic: Rails Hosting in the UK
Hi everyone,
My first post on this forum. Moved over to Ruby/Rails after hitting my head against a brick wall doing ASP.NET and C# winforms - which I still have to use at work for some projects :-(
Right, cut to the chase. I'm not really sure where to post this question on this forum but here goes:
Can any of you guys out there in Rails world recommend a decent hosting provider in the UK who supports Rails? In an ideal world the platform would be RHEL or Debian (Sarge) and the db MySQL. I've googled this for hours and can't really find anything.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance and thanks for reading.

Peter, John himself metioned using either black river seed or black sunflower? seed oil in the dough. He mentioned that "it " did not have that bitter flavor of a a thicker shell. It was hard to understand. I think he meant black sunflower seed oil. Otherwise, he mentioned a max 6 min cook time, 5oz of sauce on what appeared to be a 16" pizza, and 2 cups of cheese diced as noted. They described it as 100% mozz, but later in the show when giving tips on making the pizza at home, he mentioned using high gluten flour and 3 cheeses. Mozz ,Porv, and muenster. He said that might get you close. (he wasnt acctually speaking about you ) -marc
Do you believe that by increasing the water percentage in your formula that you would be able to increase the size of the rim and increase the voids?
I just thought that the other converters might be of equal help to people, who are not so experienced yet, when it comes to making pizza and its sometimes complex dough formulas.
I personally like November's converter, but it might be confusing to someone who's new to pizza making.
The Special Garlic Sauce is actually quite tasty. peter

First Time In Competition Minnesotan Takes Gold at Visually Impaired World Youth And Student Games
Competing in his very first judo tournament EVER, Ben Goodrich of the University of Minnesota went 3-0 today taking gold at the IBSA World Youth and Student Games in Colorado Springs, CO, instantly catching the attention of top U.S. coaches on their eternal hunt for talent.
What next? Goodrich is competing tomorrow in USA Judo's International Championships for the Blind and Visually Impaired, also at St. Mary's School in Colorado Springs, where about ten fighters await in the brackets of his 100 kg. division, including U.S. Paralympic Silver Medalist Myles Porter.
This may have been Goodrich's first time competing in a gi, but this legally blind judoka, came equipped with some highly applicable experience. He went 35-3 in his senior year as a high school wrestler and qualified for the state championships, "the big show," he said, after setting a new winning record at his high school, Concordia Academy.
"He did some nice takedowns and pinned the guys," said Heidi Moore, tournament director from Denver Judo and an experienced coach of visually impaired athletes.
"It's was pretty nerve wracking, first judo tournament ever," said Goodrich, who's only been doing judo for the last couple years. He'd been introduced to the martial art but decided to take it for a phys-ed class at the university where he soon became a teaching assistant. He really turned up the heat over the last several months, losing 35 pounds, getting back into shape after setting much aside to focus on academics. Then he saw the notice for the tournaments this weekend and decided to jump in.
His chosen throws were kosoto gari, a major outer reap with the foot, and tai otoshi, a forward throw over an extended leg.
"My next big push is tomorrow with the international games," said Goodrich. "It's a good weight class, nine or ten guys, three are Paralympic medalists, including Myles Porter. So, tomorrow is definitely going to be the next big step up."
After the judo competition at the IBSA World Youth and Student Games (IBSA is the International Blind Sports Federation), the Para Pan American Games were held in Colorado Springs, also visually impaired athletes. Tomorrow is USA Judo's International Championships for the Blind and Visually Impaired, where Goodrich is likely to test his steel against Paralympians.
Other U.S. athletes taking medals, silver and bronze, at the Youth and Student Games today were Korbin Anderson, Josh Farra, Casserius Johnson, Sara Luna, and Nadia Montanez. Countries competing included Brazil, Russia, Sweden, Columbia, Chinese Taipei, Turkey, and Japan.

A man makes an offering to Our Lady of Aparecida during the patron saint's feast day on October 12, 2004. (photo: Mauricio Lima/AFP/Getty Images)
Approximately 100 miles north of São Paulo in Brazil lies the town of Aparecida, home to the Basílica do Santuário Nacional de Nossa Senhora Aparecida, the second largest basilica in the world. Only Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City is larger.
And today on October 12th, a national holiday in Brazil, thousands of devotees are traveling to the Brazilian town to pay homage to Our Lady of Aparecida ("Our Lady Who Appeared"), the country's patron saint.
The Marian shrine is Brazil's version of Lourdes. In her physical form, Our Lady of Aparecida is a dark-skinned, clay statue of the Virgin Mary measuring less than three feet tall. Some refer to her as the "black Virgin" because of her dark coloration.
According to one account, three fishermen hauled in the statue from the bottom of the Paraiba River in 1717. They weren't catching any fish that day and so prayed to Virgin Mary. Soon after the statue drifted into their nets, bounties of fish followed in her wake, nearly capsizing the men's boat. Ever since, the statue has been associated with miracles.
It's notable that Brazil, whose population includes more than 75 million people of African descent, has a black Madonna as its patron saint. One of the many miracles associated with Nossa Senhora Aparecida, as Brazilians call her, is the liberation of a fugitive slave. Some Afro-Brazilians syncretize the saint with three female Yoruba orishas: Oshun, Yemaya, and Oya — all of whom are associated with water.
And in a modern era of technological miracles, Nossa Senhora Aparecida now has her very own Twitter feed, which you can follow (in Portuguese).

After doing some reading, I am considering either the M1 or the Ibeam and do have a couple of questions regarding the best choice.
I am fairly confident that I can achieve a great sound with either product, but I do wonder which would be best for my playing style and for reduced feedback.
Most of the reviews/comments I've read have been by finger-style players. I play with a flatpick and at times, an aggressive strumming style. In short, I will beat on it. I've read that the M1 is great at reducing feedback, however I wonder how the M1 (or any soundhole pickup) will take to take my playing style. Should I be concerned about bangs/pops from hard, percussive playing?
My only concern with the Ibeam is finding an experienced luthier within a few hours drive, so I'm leaning towards the M1.
If anyone has any thoughts, experiences or tips they could share, I'd greatly appreciate it !
Thanks Much

text: The objective of Advanced Distribution Automation Function is to enhance the reliability of power system service, power quality, and power system efficiency, by automating the following three processes of distribution operation control: data preparation in near-real-time; optimal decision-making; and the control of distribution operations in coordination with transmission and generation systems operations. Scope: The AdvancedDistributionAutomationSystem Function performs a) data gathering, along with data consistency checking and correcting; b) integrity checking of the distribution power system model; c) periodic and event-driven system modeling and analysis; d) current and predictive alarming; e) contingency analysis; f) coordinated volt/var optimization: g) fault location, isolation, and service restoration; h) multi-level feeder reconfiguration; i) pre-arming of RAS and coordination of emergency actions in distribution; j) pre-arming of restoration schemes and coordination of restorative actions in distribution, and k) logging and reporting. These processes are performed through direct interfaces with different databases and systems, (EMS, OMS, CIS, MOS, SCADA,doc AM/FM/GIS, AMS and WMS), comprehensive near real-time simulations of operating conditions, near real-time predictive optimization, and actual real-time control of distribution operations. Rationale: By meeting its objectives in near-real time, the Function makes a significant contribution to improving the power system operations through automation, which cannot be achieved using existing operational methods. Status: The methodology and specification of the Function for current power system conditions have been developed, and prototype (pilot) and system-wide project in several North-American utilities have been implemented by Utility Consulting International and its client utilities prior to the IECSA project.

I'm teaching the composition class at Westminster Choir College for the first time this fall. The course includes all of the first-semester composition majors as well as non-majors interested in composing (or, perhaps, needing an elective).
We're going to be using three books as texts during the term:
- Modal Counterpoint, in the Style of the Sixteenth Century, Ernst Krenek (Boosey).
- The Study of Fugue, Alfred Mann (Dover).
- A Basic Course in Music Composition, Ralph Shapey (Presser).
Each of these is a small primer on one of the big, central topics in the craft of composition: Sixteenth century counterpoint, fugue, and twentieth century composition approaches. I like that two of them are exercise-heavy – the Krenek and Shapey – while one includes a more historiographical approach, with plenty of examples from the literature. Each author strikes a different tone: Krenek is thorough-going, Mann authoritative and Shapey brilliantly creative, if a bit on the cranky side.
None of them are complete discussions of their respective topics. But each provides a tantalizing, instructive introduction. The three are easily portable; making them easy companions for student composers to take along to muse over on the quad, in the library, or off-campus. What's more, the combined price tag is less than the cost of many textbooks.
Next up: the listening list. I'm very open to thoughts from Sequenza 21 contributors and readers. Which pieces do you think are essential listening and study for first-semester composers? Drop some suggestions in the comments section!
I have a feeling the toughest part of preparing the course will be winnowing this down to a manageable number of pieces!

text: "Unlike other varieties of tea, Pu-Erh Tea is traditionally made with older leaves (not the first flush or budding leaves) from tall and old trees. These trees are of a type only found in Yunnan Province, known as broad leaf tea. The leaves are covered with fine hairs, are larger than other tea leaves, and have a different chemical composition. The leaves are then left green or moderately fermented before being dried. Often times the tea is then formed into cakes or bricks, wrapped in paper or pomello rinds, and stored outside exposed to moisture, air, and heat for order to further mature. Then the tea is stored underground for several years before taking on the darker, mellower characteristics that make Pu'erh tea. This type of tea originated from the natural aging process that happened along the ancient caravan routes, and the tea bricks were at times used as a form of currency. The tea bricks developed a unique flavor that was then refined by aficionados. One of the most expensive and rare Pu'erh teas is made from the droppings of worms that eat stored Pu'erh bricks."

The USA side started the second match looking to improve on their game one performance. In the first half, numerous USA penalty corner opportunities seemed to foretell a more positive result. Johnny Orozco launched several shots from the top of the offensive circle, but excellent goal keeping on the Canadian side frustrated the Americans. However, when Canada had their turn at a penalty corner, a strong second effort sent the ball into the net after an initial shot rejection by USA goalie Spenser Reed. After scoring, Canada picked up steam heading into halftime while the USA side sagged noticeably. The score sat at 1-0 in favor of the Canadians heading into the break.
At halftime, USA Coach Ben Maruquin reset and fixed some positions and rallied his troops. Unfortunately, the Canadian side had ideas of their own and continued to push aggressively towards the USA goal. In the 43rd minute, the Canadians ran a well-executed penalty corner, roll to L1 with a deflection shot finished into the net by R2 at the far post. Having secured a 2-0 lead, the Canadians seemed satisfied, and shifted further into their own half, occasionally pressing near the half line.
As the game progressed, the USA side seemed to slowly become more organized and aggressive, but were again frustrated several times on penalty corners. Finally, Liam Walsh, displaying toughness and leadership, drove the USA squad to a free hit at the Canadian 25 at minute 62. On the free hit, Tyler Sundeen received the pass and launched a hard hit, which was deflected by a well-positioned Viren Padhiar, across the goal and into the net on the far post. The loud roar of approval from the stands only reinforced the reaction of the USA side, which immediately began playing several levels above their previous effort.
They were rewarded two minutes later with a penalty corner, when Michael Barminski received the injection, dragged the ball towards the right which stretched the Canadian defense, and then swept the ball across the top of the circle to Christian Linney on the left, who bounced his shot off the backboard on the near post to knot the score at two apiece.
For the remainder of the match, the Americans pressed and harassed the shocked Canadians who had difficulty regrouping. However, the match ended with both sides disappointed as the Canadians could not hold onto their initial lead and the USA side wondering what might have been had they played the entire match with the level of intensity and desire that they displayed at the finish.
Game 3
Early in the final match of the 3rd game of the series the air went out of the balloon for Team USA.
Echoing the previous games, Canada scored early on a counterattack created by USA mistakes. The first score was followed quickly by two more to leave Canada coasting into halftime with a 3-0 advantage. Pushing forward to create scoring chances USA gave up two more counterattack goals to Canada leaving the final at 5-0. On a positive note the USA squad remained tough and aggressive until the final whistle.

China and U.S. joined at the hip
Thursday, March 5, 2009
A leading expert on China's economy says the Asian powerhouse is in a co-dependent relationship with the United States.
"The United States is the addict. We are addicted to consumption," economist Nicholas Lardy told a Feb. 27 Ritsche Auditorium audience at the 47th Economic Education Winter Institute.
"China is the dealer. They're supplying the credit that makes it possible for us to over-consume," he said.
Lardy is a fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington D.C. He is a former fellow at the Brookings Institution and the former director of the Henry M.Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington.
China's and America's households are a study in contrast. China's citizens are among the world's top savers, while Americans are "disavers," prone to spending themselves deeper and deeper into debt, according to Lardy.
"Household debt today, in the United States, is equal to about 130 percent of our after-tax income," Lardy said.
Three decades of explosive growth has transformed China from an isolated nation with a closed economy into an economic superpower. Today the world's No. 2 exporter enjoys a $265 billion trade advantage with the U.S. and is the federal government's largest foreign creditor.
That kind of imbalanced economic relationship has the potential to spark protectionism, which is the use of tariffs and restrictive quotas to discourage imports, according to Wing Thye Woo, who shared the stage with Lardy Friday morning. Wing is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C. and a professor of economics at University of California-Davis.
"We have seen the enemy and it is us," said Wing. "Now is not the time to start a trade war."
Anti-China feelings are on the rise in wealthy countries and the global consensus that free trade is beneficial is eroding, according to Wing.
Wing disputes the notion that competition with cheap Chinese labor has depressed American wages. The real cause: Since 1990, the number of workers worldwide participating in international trade has doubled. That massive influx of labor happened when Russia, the former Eastern bloc nations, India and Brazil joined the global economy, according to Wing.
Rather than erecting barriers to Chinese imports, America should solves its healthcare problem, Wing said.
"So, in order to make sure that workers get the fruits of their labor, we have to fix the healthcare problem in the United States," Wing said. "Healthcare is absorbing too much of the earnings of workers."
Wing said the trade imbalance cannot be corrected by appreciating the Chinese currency, a solution favored by more than a few Washington politicians. If the yuan rose in value -- making Chinese imports more expensive -- the American consumer would simply buy products made elsewhere. Our national trade imbalance would still exist, he said.
Despite the dire condition of the U.S. economy, in general, and the American banking system, in particular, Wing insists that China will continue to purchase U.S. Treasury bills and that the dollar will remain the world's dominant reserve currency.
The Winter Institute, which regularly attracts 200-300 business and community leaders, is known for world-class speakers. Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve, was a Winter Institute speaker, as were the late economist Milton Friedman and former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan.
In its 47th year, the Winter Institute is managed by the Center for Economic Education, 329 Stewart Hall, St. Cloud State University.

Public access is crucial to preserve democracy
A recent incident in Humboldt makes crystal clear why it is important that the Iowa Legislature fund adequately the newly created Iowa Public Information Board.
Jason Klocke was concerned that Blacktop Service Co., 16 Taft St. N., in Humboldt, was awarded a contract by the Humboldt City Council even though that company had been significantly underbid in the competitive procurement process.
Klocke asked to review the documents related to this procurement, including emails. Under Iowa's public records law that is his right.
The city, however, asked that Klocke pay $150 to compensate it for the work required to make the information requested available. Because he regarded the fee as excessive, Klocke asked a state ombudsman to review the charge. That official ultimately recommended a fee of $75.
The Messenger has no idea what the right charge should be. What concerns us, however, is that one way government officials can subvert the public's ability to scrutinize records is to impose exorbitant fees for retrieving and/or copying information.
Making sure that such unscrupulous behavior does not occur is part of the function of the new Iowa Public Information Board, due to begin functioning July 1. Were that board already in operation, it would have handled Klocke's complaint.
Iowa and most other states have what are called "sunshine" laws. They require most public business to be conducted in meetings open to the public. There are also statutory requirements that most records are to be available for scrutiny by the press and any other interested party.
In 2012, the Legislature approved and Gov. Terry Branstad signed into law an overhaul of Iowa's open meetings and records law. The goal was to guarantee greater citizen and press access to information about government proceedings and decisions. The IPIB was created as part of an upgrade of the previous statute. The board will oversee the enforcement of open meetings and open records requirements. Board members and staff will evaluate claims that violations of these laws have taken place and initiate corrective action as needed.
At least they will do this if the board is adequately funded to carry out its functions.
Unfortunately, there is some doubt that this will happen.
Gov. Terry Branstad requested annual funding of $490,000 for the IPIB. The Iowa House, last month, passed an allocation of only $100,000, effectively gutting the governor's proposal.
It is imperative that the Iowa Senate restore funding to something close to what Branstad proposed. The House needs to reconsider its disgusting attempt to render the state's public records law toothless.
Democracy functions best when the public has access to detailed information about what government officials do and why they do it. It is important to the preservation of democratic government that the exceptions to doing business in the open should be few and carefully justified.
When government officials find it inconvenient to do business and keep records in an open manner, we all have good reason to be alarmed. Concern is also warranted when high fees are imposed to discourage citizens from accessing information.
Only people with questionable motives have anything to fear from public scrutiny. That's why strong, adequately funded sunshine laws are absolutely vital.

Selected Speeches
Speech Video
At the Opening of the World Economic Forum on the Middle East
Dead Sea, Jordan
18 May 2007
My friends,
This is our year of opportunity. Opportunity to end violence; opportunity to make peace; opportunity to build the regional economic power-house of tomorrow.
That future begins here and now: with the leadership vision and proven capability assembled in this room and with the action that can be catalyzed by your dialogue and partnership.
Professor Schwab, I am honoured to welcome the Forum back to Jordan. And to all of you, accept my warmest welcome. It is a pleasure to join you for this important meeting. It comes at a decisive time.
As you know, the Arab countries are engaged in a major effort to achieve a just settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In late March, the Arab Peace Initiative was renewed unanimously by the Arab countries. There is an historic opportunity to achieve a just, comprehensive and lasting settlement, and achieve it now; this year; before any more generations suffer; before any more destruction takes place.
For Palestinians, there can be no more delay. The absence of peace and the conditions of occupation have devastated Palestinian life. Three of every five job-seekers cannot find employment. Hundreds of thousands of families are living in misery, sustained only by humanitarian aid. This suffocating situation has brought poverty, malnutrition, frustration and radicalisation.
When a farmer gives up on growing produce he cannot sell, when business owners shut factories because supply chains are broken, financing is frozen, and too few customers can afford to buy, when children quit school early because they see no future ahead - it is our duty to act.
We, in Jordan, are doing all we can to build the momentum for peace. We know success is not, and will not be, easy. But we also know peace is attainable. Israelis and Palestinians, from all walks of life, tell us they need and want an end to violence. There is a new international will to resolve the crisis; it is no longer just a regional problem. And it is in the interest of this entire region - and indeed, the world - that we succeed.As we look to that day, we need to begin asking a new question:
- What about the day after peace?
- Will we be ready? Will we have the plans in place to realise the benefits of peace and build on them?
- Will we have the vision to see our region's potential and act on it?
Three hundred and twenty-five million people live in the Arab world. Ours is a region larger than Europe, larger than Canada, larger than China, larger than the United States. The benefits and standards of living that these regions enjoy, can and must belong to the people of the Middle East.
China, India, and other countries that were poor 20 years ago, made tough decisions to move forward, embracing private-sector development and globalisation. Their courage brought rapid growth that is reducing poverty and creating opportunity. We are able, if we choose, to match and even surpass their gains.
Young people, especially, need us to do so. Youth are the largest age group in our region, with more than 200 million under the age of 24. These young men and women deserve to be part of a prospering region that is playing its rightful role on the world stage. I'm talking about every advantage that the 21st century can provide - a good education; fulfilling work; security to raise their families; and more.
Meeting their expectations is our greatest calling, and our generation is rising to this challenge.
The fact is that periods of prosperity provide important opportunities for advancing reforms, facilitating investments in infrastructure, as well as innovative solutions to some of our region's most urgent challenges.
One critical challenge is water. From the snowy peaks of the Atlas Mountains to the empty quarter of the Arabian Peninsula, most of our region's countries cannot meet the current water demand. As a region, if we do not plan how we will meet this most basic need, if we do not commit the necessary investment to resolve this problem, we will not be fighting for peace. We will be fighting for our lives.
We need to rise to this challenge, and I believe we can.
The environment is another pressing challenge. When fossil fuel was discovered over a century ago, there were only about one billion people in the world. There are now more than 6 billion, and fossil fuel is key to life on every continent. As a region endowed with energy resources in abundance, we must lead the way in discovering how to make those resources last longer and burn cleaner.
A third key challenge is infrastructure. If this region is to be a strong economic bloc, with greater industry competitiveness, a growing private sector, and sustainable job opportunities, then, a strong, efficient transport and logistics system is a strategic necessity.
Consider just the regional context. It is estimated that by 2020, 70 percent of the region's population will be urban. What plans must we make, what infrastructure investments are needed to service this urban development?
These are great opportunities, and they are open for your leadership, right now.
My friends,
The time has come to stop thinking about peace as an end; an end to conflict, but as a beginning, a beginning of sweeping new opportunities and benefits for the people of this region. An era that will free human and financial resources for region-wide achievement and prosperity. An era that will open new, cross-border opportunities that multiply the benefits of development and investment.
But if we are going to take advantage of that potential; if we are going to sustain the peace and build on it, then, we need to ask that question:
what about the day after peace?
It begins with leaders like you. Men and women who possess the ability to see a brilliant future. Leaders with the courage and determination to make that future a reality.
Imagine for a moment:
- A region powered by 22 strong, growing economies, and energised by a thriving private sector, a highly skilled workforce, and region-wide cooperation;
- A region that welcomes every young person to adulthood with a good job, and a lifetime of new opportunities;
- A region with ample, clean water in every home, and a healthy environment that protects its people and its natural heritage;
- A region that competes at the top of the global marketplace, bringing the benefits of prosperity back to every neighbourhood and family;
- a region that takes its rightful, proud position in the 21st Century, shaping the civilisation and progress of all humanity.
We, all of us here, have the power to make this vision a reality. Let us not put the future on hold, waiting for papers to be signed and the ink to dry, or hoping other countries will help. We, as an entire region, must create the future we choose to have.
That future starts here, with this extraordinary gathering of leaders from across our region. It is you who can bring our future the initiative and inspiration it needs, at every level. It is you who can think large, keep the focus on results, and dare to achieve them. It is you who can transform hopes into realities.
So today, I urge you to start the dialogue, a dialogue of action, that can inspire and lead our region forward. I urge you to ask yourselves: what about the day after peace? And I urge you to help find the answers our people so urgently need.
Thank you very much.

Is this a real convention in the Pizza trade?? Or is this another Internet urban ledgend?
This is one area that I haven't watched that closely, so I can't comment on how NY pizzeria owners do it. I get the feeling, like most things, that they probably don't care.
I know this is how Roberto Caporuscio does it, and he does care.
Technically, Roberto happens to own a pizzeria in NY, but he's not, imo, a 'NY pizzeria owner.' He would be a Neapolitan pizzeria owner I get the feeling that most Neapolitan pizzeria owners probably care about what side of the dough ends where.

At Saturday's Georgia-South Carolina college football game, a military family was treated to a message from the father while standing on the field. What they didn't know, was that dad was at the stadium, not overseas, and only a minute away from running out of the tunnel.
As you can imagine, the family books it to him for a truly special moment.

Fast forward to 6:03 too see some pron.
In all seriousness, I loved sharing this field with each and everyone of these gentlemen/gentlewomen. I would follow anyone of them into the Shit all over again. Thank you to everyone who came to battlefield 2013, these will be memories I will remember the rest of my life.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Optimal location apartment, within walking distance from Time Square; We found the apartment not very clean, towels and dirty sheets and also lacked basic services such appendoni for wardrobe and chairs (there were 3 but there was only one).
Given the position it is a little bit noisy.
Findings generally adequate for the convenience of the place.
Posizione appartamento ottimale, a pochi passi da Time Square; abbiamo trovato l'appartamento non ben pulito, asciugamani e lenzuola sporche ed inoltre mancava di servizi minimi quali appendoni per armadio e sedie (eravamo in 3 ma ce ne era soltanto 1).
Vista la posizione risulta un pó rumoroso.
Giudizio complessivamente sufficiente per la comodità del posto.
More or less as expected. Opening hours are not long. Normally closes at 6pm. Extra chrages for weekends (40$) which can not be avoided.
Location of the aprtment is E 52nd and 2 Ave. Good Midtown location close to UN headquarters and many financial institutions. Quiet neighbourhood.
Arpartment has some minor problems. Window in the kitchen can not be opened. Dishwasher was broken.
We got a great replacement apartment because there were problems with water and warmth in the we'd stayed in. We were treated very nicely and everything was solved in the best way. It was even better than we dared hope for!
Vi fick en fantastisk ersättningslägenhet eftersom det var problem med vatten och värme i den vi skulle bott i. Vi blev väldigt trevligt bemötta och allt löstes på bästa sätt. Det blev till och med bättre än vi vågat hoppas på!
Perfect budget option to spend the night with 6 people in New York. Very nice owner, also at the same questions on the spot. The location is a bit remote, but with the subway, it is 20 minutes to Downtown Manhattan, which fits perfectly. We would not hesitate to stay there again.
Perfekte günstige Variante um mit 6 Personen in New York zu nächtigen. Sehr netter Vermieter, auch bei Fragen gleich zur Stelle. Die Lage ist etwas abgelegen, aber mit der U-Bahn ist man 20 Minuten in Downtown Manhattans, das passt ideal. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort buchen.
We were given another apartment in a better neighborhood. But there were some problems with the hot water which could not be cold. There were workmen on almost the whole week, which was quite annoying. Or we lived very central and or it was a really nice apartment.
Vi fik en anden lejlighed i et bedre kvarter. Men der var en del problemer med det varme vand som ikke kunne blive koldt. Der var håndværkere på næsten hele ugen, hvilket var ret irriterende. Eller boede vi meget centralt og eller var det en rigtig fin lejlighed.
Wimdu customer service was excellent. The host took a long time (worryingly so) to get in touch but the key pick up and service at the office was easy enough but it's 24 blocks south of the apartment. The apartment itself is in need of redecorating or the photos updating. The plug sockets in the kitchen trip out so we had to plug the kettle in under the dining area table! Bedsheets were old and one of my friends found a hair in the bed before she had slept in it :-( location perfect and close to delis bars restaurants and Starbucks. Water always hot for showers. Bath mat and spares would have been helpful having 7 people for one bathroom
The photo of the living room and rooms in no way corresponds to the apartment.
The heat is unbearable loud air conditioning does not compensate.
The arrival of a bed breaks; earth with mattress we slept, the living room table cassee also ... we leave in front of the open door latch lq qvec a knife (the previous tenants had left near the door !!!)
Cleanliness of the apartment questionable ....
only interest very well location
La photo du salon et des chambres ne correspond en rien a l'appartement.
Le chauffage est insupportable que la climatisation assourdissante ne compense pas.
Des l'arrivee :un lit casse ; on a dormi matelas par terre ,la table du salon cassee aussi ...on sort en devant ouvrir le loquet de lq porte qvec un couteau (que les occupants precedents ont laisse pres de la porte !!!)
Proprete de l'appart douteuse ....
seul interet emplacement tres bien
The apartment was well not very clean, but very poor communication and away, and had 4 TVs do not work no, we tried to contact daily with Wimdu and nobody solves the problem just giving lengthen.
We were 6 people and our opinion is negative at all, the attention of Wimdu and owner.
Group 6
El apartamento estaba bien no muy limpio, pero muy mala comunicación y lejos, y habia 4 televisores que no funcionan ninguna, intentamos ponernos en contacto a diario con Wimdu y nadie soluciono el problema solo dando alargas.
Fuimos 6 personas y nuestra opinion es negativa del todo, la atención de Wimdu y del propietario.
Grupo de 6
House lived up to expectations. For a large group very comfortably. There was some small hitch: the shower handle remained in his hand and the door is half smashed, but this did not affect the success of the trip! The central location then helped a lot as it allowed many moves and also is well stocked by all the services: shops, supermarkets, metro, restaurants ...
Casa all'altezza delle aspettative. Per un gruppo numeroso molto confortevole. Qualche piccolo intoppo c'è stato: la maniglia della doccia rimaneva in mano e la porta d'ingresso è mezza sfondata, ma questo non ha influito sulla buona riuscita del viaggio! La centralità della posizione poi ha aiutato parecchio in quanto ha permesso numerosi spostamenti e inoltre è ben fornito da tutti i servizi: negozi, supermercati, metro, ristoranti...
Penthouse with nice location.

Ravi Shanker isn't playing? What's up with that? Does Clapton have an axe to grind with Ravi?
Norah Jones has admitted that Ravi is her papa. Did she know George as a child?
Ravi and his tribe of folks that played the concert for bangladesh should be allowed to play. GH's karma and spirit wouldn't like it if Ravi and his possee aren't allowed to play (this is after all the same GH whose remains were sprinked in the Ganges riveri n India and may have been sprinkled also in the Mersey)

Two European Parliament members have alleged a 'gross misuse of European consumers' money.'and U.S. Customs and Border Protection have led to the conviction of several smugglers who have illegally imported the ozone-depleting refrigerant, hcfc 22, into the U.S. for sale to trucking companies, supermarkets, automotive supply shops, and other large-scale users of refrigerant gases. The illegal refrigerant is significantly cheaper than non-ozone-depleting refrigerants permitted in the U.S., a price discrepancy triggered partially by the large overpayments to Chinese firms that have led to an ample supply of hcfc 22 on the international black market.
Hfc 23 is, per pound, 11,000 times more potent than CO2 as a contributor to global warming.trading scheme, and more than half of the 474 million tons of emission credits now utilized to offset companies' emissions are involved in paying firms in China and elsewhere to destroy hfc 23. Major utilities in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Italy, and Japan rely heavily on these emissions offsets, as do a number of U.S. companies operating in Europe, including Chevron and Conoco Philips. Major U.S. financial houses, such as Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and JP Morgan Chase have significant holdings in the credits linked to the gas.
The European offset payments are setting the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols on a collision course.firm called Kroy Corporation, was arrested after an Operation Catch-22 team caught him on surveillance tape receiving, storing, and preparing to sell illegal shipments of hcfc 22 from China. Garrido pled guilty and was sentenced in February to two-and-a-half years in prison. In another instance, the St. Louis-based Marcone Company, a wholesale supplier for hardware stores and large construction projects, was accused of violating the Clean Air Act for attempting to sell more than 220,000 pounds of the illegal refrigerant.
The controversy over hfc's came to a head at the climate negotiations in Cancun last week.UN's Framework Convention on Climate Change. The central question, according to Eva Filzmoser, program director of CDM Watch, is whether the hfc credits, vital to the functioning of the cap-and-trade system borne of the Kyoto Protocol, actually deliver the emission reductions being paid for. "The gap between the price for the credits and the actual costs for incinerating the gas," she says, "means we have a huge amount of money not being spent on actually reducing emissions."
