New restaurant coming to former Tapenade location
The space that was occupied by the now-defunct Tapenade Bistro (44-07 on Queens Blvd) is about to get a new tenant.
Tapenade closed after being in business for about nine months, as the restaurant's casual French fare failed to generate enough business.
"We should know within a week what kind of restaurant is taking over," a leading Sunnyside real estate broker said. "That place is a real turnkey [business ready to operate]; it's in great condition."
Tapenade was owned and operated by Alim Maruf and Abu Khan.
Maruf was the former owner of Bliss Bistro, which was a French bistro located on Skillman Ave. (46th St.). Despite its initial popularity, Bliss Bistro failed.
Khan had owned a Sunnyside bodega, called Executive Grocery, at 46-22 Queens Blvd.
Maruf left Tapenade about a month before its closing and started working at La Bouchon, a French restaurant at 304 East 78th Street in Manhattan. He is hoping to attain a partnership stake there.
La Bouchon is owned by Shekh Noman, who also owns Saffron Garden on Skillman Avenue.

Ask Tanya Byron: My brother keeps crashing his motorbike
He's the least successful member of the family. Could he be trying to prove himself in some perverse way?
Q My 50-year-old brother-in-law has just had a crash on his motorbike for the umpteenth time. He had an extended stay in hospital to recover, including a bout in intensive care, during which we all thought he wasn't going to make it. In the ten years since I've known him, he's come off his motorbike several times with various degrees of injury. Goodness knows what his insurance premiums must be like at this stage.
All of us in the extended family — siblings, parents and his children — implore him to sell his motorbikes (he has three of them) and use a car like the rest of us. But it falls on deaf ears. He says he loves motorbikes, end of story. Mind your own business. …

Live Commentary
Hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. See you next time.
After losing to Man Utd before the international break, Arsenal respond with a big, big win against high flying Southampton to stretch their lead at the top back to four points. That gap will remain for the rest of the weekend. Artur Boruc's shambolic decision to hold onto the ball gifted Giroud the opener, and the Frenchman sealed the game from the penalty spot late on.
90' + 4'That's it! Arsenal grind out an important win!
90' + 3'Arsene Wenger has instructed his troops to keep the ball and run out the clock, but the Gunners are trying to push forward, and lose the ball. The Frenchman does not look pleased with his charges for that sequence.
90' + 1'Four minutes of stoppage time to round off this one.
90'Sagna needs a bit of treatment, but Mark Clattenburg is instructing him to make his way behind the line to do so in order to round this game off quickly.
88'Giroud, with the confidence coursing through his veins after that goal, whacks a half-volley in with an incredible degree of difficulty. The shot, however, sails into the stands. Hard to fault him though after another tireless shift up front.
87'Fonte was booked in the aftermath of that penalty from Giroud, after contesting Clatternburg's decision to award the spot-kick.
86'Yellow Card José Fonte
86'Penalty Goal Olivier Giroud
GIROUD MAKES IT 2-0!! The Frenchman fires the spot-kick past Boruc and into the bottom right corner to all but seal the win for the home side.
85'PENALTY TO ARSENAL! Clatternburg points to the spot after Fonte had clearly pulled Mertesacker back at a corner.
84'STAT: Southampton's win ratio against Arsenal in the Premier League (14%) is the lowest of any side they've played more than three times in the competition. (via Opta)
82'The game is really opening up in the closing stages here, as Southampton push forward in search of a late equaliser and Arsenal try to catch them out on the counter.
81'SubstitutionMesut Özil Monreal
81'Wenger makes his final change of the afternoon – introducing Nacho Monreal at the expense of Ozil.
80'VERY GOOD PLAY FROM BORUC! After a spell of Southampton pressure Arsenal look to counter quickly through Walcott but the away team's goalkeeper has other ideas as he rushes from his line to nod the ball away from danger.
79'WANYAMA FIRES OVER! The resulting corner falls to the former Celtic man on the edge of the box but his rasping strike flies a couple of yards over Szczesny's crossbar.
78'LAMBERT EFFORT DEFLECTED WIDE! The England international wins the ball well in the air under pressure from Gibbs, exchanges passes with Rodriguez, and then sees a rising shot deflect behind off the back of Mertesacker.
76'And there is that pesky flag again! Wanyama clears the ball with his head but it is sent straight back into the area by Koscielny. Giroud looks to let the ball fall over his shoulder and send a left foot effort at goal but play is stopped with the Frenchman deemed to be in an offside position.
74'SubstitutionMikel Amatrian Arteta Tomas Rosicky
74'Osvaldo powers forward from the centre circle, brushing off a couple of challenges on his way to the penalty area, before lashing a low strike at goal that Szczesny has to parry and then collect.
73'Another change for the Gunners – this time an unplanned one. Arteta appeared to strain something as he stretched for the ball and after a brief chat with a physio he is promptly replaced by Tomas Rosicky.
71'Ozil toys with four Southampton players in quick succession with a medley of neat passes on the left-hand side. Lovely stuff from the former Real Madrid schemer.
70'SubstitutionSanti Cazorla Theo Walcott
70'And there is that change for Arsenal. Walcott comes on to provide the home side with his searing pace in attack. Cazorla is the man that makes way.
69'Clyne thinks he was clipped as he thundered down the left wing for Southampton, but Clatternburg was having absolutely none of it. There looked to be contact from Sagna there, but the referee thought otherwise.
68'Mr Walcott is warming up for Arsenal and looks set to be introduced. The nippy attacker will no doubt relish an opportunity to play against the team where he started his career.
67'GOOD PLAY FROM HOOIVELD! The Dutchman reads the play well to dispossess Ramsey inside the Southampton box after a fine first-time pass from Cazorla had set the Welshman through on goal.
65'The artistic Spaniard floats the ball towards the back post but it poses no problems to the Southampton back-line as Fonte heads it clear.
64'Fonte is penalised after colliding with Giroud and the home side have a free kick 45 yards out that Arteta will take...
63'STAT: Southampton have had 58 per cent of possession in the second half, but they have not tested Szczesny since the interval.
61'The Gunners win a corner on the left, which is taken short by Cazorla to Ozil. The German sends a dangerous cross into the box but play is stopped for an apparent foul by Giroud as he tussles with Wanyama in an attempt to meet the ball.
60'A lovely no-look pass from Ozil finds Ramsey in space on the right and he has time to look up and curl a cross into the box – sadly for Arsenal though it is easily gobbled up by Boruc.
58'Gibbs ambles down the left side for Arsenal and tries to clip a cross in to Giroud, but Ward-Prowse does well to throw his body in front of it and stop the ball reaching the France international.
57'Koscielny's face just produced a vital interception on the edge of the Arsenal area as Osvaldo looked to dink a pass towards Lambert on the right side of the box.
56'Ramsey tries to flick a pass through to Giroud inside the Southampton box but he is thwarted by the flag of the linesman on the far side. Free kick to Southampton inside their own penalty area.
55'It looks like Lambert is moving out to the right-hand side to accommodate Osvaldo in the centre. The Englishman looks far less comfortable pushed out wide, which makes the withdrawal of Lallana even more baffling.
53'SubstitutionAdam Lallana D. Osvaldo
53'That is a surprising change for the away side! Osvaldo comes on as expected – but it is the in-form Lallana that is removed to make space for him.
52'LALLANA SHOOTS STRAIGHT AT SZCZESNY! The visitors' skipper has a chance to test Arsenal's goalkeeper after the ball is teed up to him invitingly by Rodriguez, but his effort arrows straight into the arms of Szczesny.
51'Pochettino looks set to make a second change hot on the heels of Southampton's first, with Pablo Osvaldo, the club's record signing, warming up on the sideline.
50'Davis' first taste of action is to sweep a cross into the Arsenal box from the right, but it is comfortable for Mertesacker to deal with as he nods the ball away and into the path of Arteta.
49'The flag goes up against Lallana for Southampton, but the decision has little bearing on play as Koscielny had emerged triumphant in that aerial duel anyway.
48'Yellow Card Victor Wanyama
48'That switch means Clyne moves over to left-back, Ward-Prowse drops in at right-back and Davis lines up in midfield.
47'Southampton have been forced into a change at the break, with Shaw, who picked up an injury in that first half, being replaced by Steven Davis.
46'SubstitutionLuke Shaw Steven Davis
46'We are back underway at the Emirates...
Arsenal could have had one or two more though, with Ramsey and Wilshere both striking the left-hand post with audacious efforts. The Welshman clipped the woodwork with an opportunistic flick, while Wilshere saw a superb chip from a tight angle bounce off the post and away.
HALF-TIME: ARSENAL 1-0 SOUTHAMPTON Arsene Wenger's side deservedly lead at the break thanks in part to a moment of woeful indecision from the Saints' goalkeeper Artur Boruc. Olivier Giroud pounced in the 22nd minute to dispossess Boruc and sweep the ball into an empty net. The goalkeeper had two or three opportunities to clear the ball but failed to take any of them.
45' + 3'And there is the half-time whistle! Arsenal lead at the break through Giroud.
45' + 2'Yellow Card Jos Hooiveld
45' + 2'There is a yellow card late in the half for Hooiveld after he caught Giroud when the Frenchman had pushed the ball past him.
45'Boruc is not going to get caught out by Giroud again. The goalkeeper is launching the ball upfield as quickly as possible whenever it is played back to him now.
44'Giroud clatters into Schneiderlin on the halfway line and the Southampton medical team are quickly on their feet as the midfielder goes down clutching his head. After a short spell on the deck he is fit to continue though.
43'Cazorla drifts the set piece towards Mertesacker but it is nodded away at the near post by Lambert. Ozil gets a chance to swing a cross back into the mixer but his touch uncharacteristically lets him down and the ball goes flying out for a throw.
42'Arsenal have a corner late in the half and a chance to add a second...
41'STRONG DEFENDING FROM KOSCIELNY! The Frenchman allows Rodriguez to move forward down the right before lunging in and stealing possession with a brilliant challenge.
40'TERRIFIC PLAY FROM SOUTHAMPTON! Rodriguez controls the ball superbly with a deft touch 16 yards from goal and then tops the move off with an ambitious Di-Canio-esque scissor-kick that is palmed away by Szczesny.
39'Ward-Prowse lifts a high cross in the direction of Rodriguez on the penalty spot but Szczesny sprints off his line to catch the ball.
38'And now Lambert is offside. Both sides are peeved by that decision, Lambert doesn't think he was off and Arsenal wanted to play the advantage as they looked to stream forward down the right wing.
36'SOMETIMES YOU WISH OFFSIDE DIDN'T EXIST... Ozil and Ramsey exchange passes beautifully high on the right, with the Welshman setting the Germany international away inside the box with a cushioned flick only for play to be brought to a resounding halt by the linesman's flag.
35'Giroud is moving gingerly again! The Arsenal goalscorer has been in the wars in this first half, clashing awkwardly with Southampton defenders on two occasions.
34'A cross from Shaw on the left bounces all the way through to Szczesny and prompts a frustrated glance from Lambert, who was wanting better from his young team-mate.
32'SUPER EFFORT FROM LALLANA! Giroud's clearance goes only as far as Lallana on the edge of the Arsenal box though and the Southampton skipper sends a delicious dipping volley at goal that is tipped over the bar well by Szczesny.
31'Ward-Prowse whips a free kick towards Lambert at the back post but Giroud is there inside his own box to nod the ball away.
30'Arsenal don't have the ball for long though, as Schneiderlin wins it back from Giroud with a bone-crunching slide tackle on the halfway line. Top work in the centre of the park there from the Southampton midfielder.
29'Southampton move the ball well down the right through Clyne, Lambert and Rodriguez, only to lose possession because of an over-cooked pass.
27'STAT: Southampton have conceded just eight goals in their last 14 Premier League games and have never conceded more than once in a match during this run. (via Opta)
25'Boruc has clearly learnt from his catastrophic error a few minutes ago as he smashes a clearance into the Arsenal half.
23'That was top pressing from Giroud though – as soon as he sensed a chance to dispossess the Southampton goalkeeper he was on him in a flash and his quick-thinking has put the hosts one-up.
22'Goal Olivier Giroud
WHAT IS BORUC DOING?! GIROUD PUTS ARSENAL AHEAD! The Polish goalkeeper has two or three chances to clear the ball after it is played back to him by Clyne, but he dallies – and then dallies again – which allows Giroud to steal the ball from him and slide an easy finish into the unguarded net.
20'Victor Wanyama catches Wilshere 20 yards from Boruc's goal and despite the Arsenal man appealing for a free kick, Mr Clattenburg gestures for play to continue.
19'Shaw is clearly struggling for Southampton at left-back after picking up that knock earlier on and Arsenal are looking to take full advantage of his discomfort by overloading their right-hand side.
18'SO NEARLY A WONDERFUL GOAL FROM RAMSEY! The Wales international produces a marvellous instinctive flick to direct Ozil's cross from the right towards goal, but again that left-hand post thwarts Arsenal, as the ball crashes off the woodwork before being cleared away.
17'Wilshere has been prominent for the hosts in the opening 17 minutes, flittering between Southampton's defence and midfield and picking out his team-mates with a series of clever touches.
15'STAT: Only Arsenal, 22, have won more points in the Barclays Premier League since the start of September than Southampton, 18. (via Opta)
14'Shaw looked to be suffering with an ailment after a clash on the near side a few minutes ago, but he seems to have recovered and has taken his place back at left-back for the Saints.
13'Boruc is out quickly from his line to sweep the ball into the stands for Southampton. The goalkeeper had Giroud thundering down on him attempting to retrieve a curling pass forward from Sagna there and it was a composed piece of play.
11'SUPER PLAY FROM WILSHERE! The England international ghosts through the Southampton defence and flicks an audacious chip over Boruc from an excruciatingly tight angle, but it bounces agonisingly off the left-hand post before being grabbed gratefully by the recovering Boruc.
9'A cheeky Cruyff turn from Per Mertesacker of all people relieves the pressure on Arsenal's defence, with Southampton's front four doing their thing by pushing high up the pitch whenever the home side are in possession.
8'GREAT CHALLENGE FROM SHAW! The Southampton full-back throws himself in front of Jack Wilshere to block the Arsenal man's shot from the edge of the area.That was a timely intervention from the in-demand left-back.
7'Southampton are sweeping the ball around neatly in the opening exchanges here, as are Arsenal for that matter. Neither side have probed into the penalty area yet though.
5'Olivier Giroud appears to have picked up a knock early on here, which will be a huge cause of concern for Wenger, who spoke before the game of their lack of options to replace the Frenchman should he sustain an injury. Wenger must have momentarily forgotten that he does of course have Nicklas Bendtner on the bench.
4'Kieran Gibbs launches into a tackle on Jay Rodriguez on the left side for the Gunners which causes the ball to ricochet into the advertising hoardings and the Southampton attacker to crumple to the deck. Only a throw awarded to the visitors though, as the Arsenal full-back won the ball cleanly.
3'That's a horrid goal kick from Arthur Boruc, straight to Aaron Ramsey in the Arsenal midfield, but fortunately for the goalkeeper the Welshman misplaces a pass forward and the away side are able to get the ball back.
1'And away we go! Mark Clattenburg, sporting a rare mid-season tan, blows his whistle to get this game started...
Out come the two sides at the Emirates, 15 minutes later than planned. But it's an encouraging sign for the fans that have made it to the stadium and means we are just minutes away from kick-off.
STAT #2: But the Saints are up against it this afternoon, playing against a team they have not beaten away in the league since November 1987. Since then Arsenal have won 13 and drawn five.
STAT #1: Pochettino's men have lost just one match so far this season - a record matched only by Everton - and they are looking to extend their unbeaten run to nine.
How about a couple of impressive stats to wile away the minutes before kick-off?
SOUTHAMPTON TEAM NEWS: There is just the one change for the visitors, as Jos Hooiveld slips in at centre-back in place of Dejan Lovren, who is ruled out through illness.
ARSENAL TEAM NEWS: The home side make two changes from the defeat to Manchester United - Per Mertesacker is back for Thomas Vermaelen, and Mathieu Flamini makes way for Jack Wilshere. Former Southampton teen superstar Theo Walcott is on the bench against his old side, after a spell on the sidelines with an abdominal injury.
SUBS: Gazzaniga, Yoshida, S. Davis, Osvaldo, Chambers, Reed, Gallagher
SOUTHAMPTON (4-2-3-1): Boruc; Clyne, Fonte, Hooiveld, Shaw; Wanyama, Schneiderlin; Ward-Prowse, Lallana, Rodriguez; Lambert
SUBS: Fabianski, Vermaelen, Monreal, Rosicky, Walcott, Gnabry, Bendtner
ARSENAL (4-2-3-1): Szczesny; Sagna, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Gibbs; Arteta, Ramsey; Wilshere, Ozil, Cazorla; Giroud
Without further ado, let's have a quick look at the way each time are lining up for this fixture...
Apparently a small fixture in Liverpool has just finished 3-3 – which means Arsenal could go four points clear at the top with a win today OR Southampton could leaprog Liverpool in second should they grab a victory. A result of that nature would leave them level on points with their opponents this afternoon.
KICK-OFF DELAYED: This game will kick off 15 minutes later than scheduled due to transport problems in the local area, which means you have an extra 15 minutes of build-up from me. What more could you want?!
My name is Charlie Scott and I'm your designated scribe for this afternoon's action. Will Mauricio Pochettino's men continue their stunning start to the season by taking a point or three from the league leaders? Or will the Gunners produce a repeat of Southampton's last trip to the Emirates, when Arsene Wenger's side trounced the South coast outfit 6-1?
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome to LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash at the Emirates which pits top-of-the-table Arsenal against third-placed Southampton.

SALT LAKE CITY — Though usually a formality, there is some intrigue in the volatile 4th Congressional District as counties statewide release final tallies Tuesday from this month's general election.
Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson edged Republican Mia Love on Election Day 49.3 percent to 48.1 percent — a difference of 2,646 votes. Libertarian candidate Jim Vein picked up 2.6 percent.
The election isn't official until each county totals absentee, provisional and other ballots and certifies the results. By law, that is done no more than two weeks after the election. Rarely does the canvass change the outcome of a race. But the slim margin in the 4th District has the Love camp in wait-and-see mode.
"We still have some votes we need to count. It's not all set in stone until the (Nov.) 20th, so we'll just wait," Love said last week.
Love won't be around for the report as she planned to be at Disneyworld this week.
The Matheson campaign expects the votes in Salt Lake, Utah, Juab and Sanpete counties to track the same as ballots cast Nov. 6 and isn't worried about the outcome changing.
Another close race is in Utah House District 31 where incumbent Rep. Larry Wiley, D-Salt Lake, has a 163-vote lead over Republican challenger Fred C. Johnson.
There are more than 64,000 mail-in, provisional and paper ballots between the four counties, parts of which make up the 4th District. Residents who have moved but didn't register in their new precincts receive provisional ballots. People who don't want to use electronic voting machines may cast paper ballots. Counties must validate those ballots before they're counted.
Salt Lake County has nearly 44,000 outstanding ballots, but County Clerk Sherrie Swensen said it is unknown how many belong to 4th District voters. Utah County has 3,466 mail-in and provisional ballots in the district.6 comments on this story
Swensen said Salt Lake County is still counting votes, and will be until noon Tuesday. Mail-in ballots postmarked by Nov. 5 may be received and counted up until that time. The county didn't receive any ballots Monday but had five come in last Friday, she said.
"We're close," Swensen said of the final tallies. "We don't finalize any of the totals until we get past that noon time frame."
On Tuesday, Swensen and other county clerks will report final results to their county commissions or councils, which act as the board of canvassers. The board then votes whether to accept the report.

Crisis Center banquet, auctions Saturday in DL
The Lakes Crisis and Resource Center's annual banquet is Saturday, and the list of auction items is looking good.
"Imagine" is the theme for this year's banquet, beginning with social hour at 6 p.m. at the Speak Easy restaurant in Detroit Lakes.
"Imagine a world without violence," Director Jan Logan said as to where the theme came from.
There will be live and silent auctions at the event. Some of the live auction items include two airplane tickets to Las Vegas, a bow-hunting trip to Kentucky, a bird-hunting trip to Kentucky, a sculpture by local artist Pat Shannon and WE Fest tickets.
Some of the silent auction items include golf packages, Twins tickets, Medora musical tickets, Papa Murphy's pizza for a year and much more.
Tim Sparks will serve as entertainment for the evening, and Kathy Coyle will emcee the event.
The money will go toward hiring a child services manager and adding a child services program. The organization has been without a child advocacy program for several years.
Besides raising money for the Crisis Center, the group will be formally thanking "numerous individuals and a business who have supported the Crisis Center over the year," Logan said.
Placemats at the dinner, which begins at 7 p.m., are laminated posters made by local children.

The Authen::PAAS distribution provides a Perl API for authenticating and
authorizing users of computing services. Its design is inspired by
existing pluggable authentication services such as PAM and Java's JAAS, so
people familiar with those two services should be comfortable with the
concepts in Authen::PAAS. At its heart, Authen::PAAS provides a login
service, with pluggable modules for performing different authentication
schemes. The pluggable framework enables the system administrator, rather
than the application developer to define what method is used to
authentication with a particular application.
One might ask, why not just use PAM directly via the existing Authen::PAM
Perl bindings. While this works well for applications which wish to
authenticate against real UNIX user accounts (eg FTP, Telnet, SSH), it is
not particularly well suited to applications with 'virtualized' user
accounts. For example, a web application may maintain a set of virtual
user accounts in a database, or a chat server, may maintain a set of user
accounts in a text configuration file. Since it merely delegates through
to the underlying C libraries, the Authen::PAM module does not provide a
convenient means to write new authentication schemes in Perl. Thus the
Authen::PAAS distribution provides a pure Perl API for authentication.

Actress Melissa Joan Hart, who is gearing up for the April 1 release of her new film "God's Not Dead 2," said in a recent interview that she believes that the separation of church and state has been taken "far beyond the freedoms this country was founded on."
Hart, the star of popular TV shows like "Melissa & Joey" and "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," said that she felt a calling to appear in the feature film and that she believes that "there are a lot of Christians being persecuted for their faith," according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
"In the past, mainstream Christians were members of what we could call the big powerhouse religion at the time — and may have been doing a fair amount of persecuting minority religions," she said, according to the outlet. "But now those Christians feel their faith is something that is trampled on or ignored. Now the tables have turned."
Hart, who is a Christian, also discussed the criticisms that she has faced throughout her career, first at the hand of Christians who disagreed with her portrayal of a witch on "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and now from those who oppose the message of "God's Not Dead 2."
"For the longest time, while I played a witch on television, the Christian community attacked me for popularizing the magic aspects on that secular TV show," Hart said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "Now, it's the opposite. I'm getting grief for playing the good Christian woman who is being persecuted by the outside world!"
The actress is hoping that the film will inspire more respectful dialogue about religion's role in society.
Other actors have also been speaking out, sharing their own personal stories as well as their views on the film's narrative.
As TheBlaze recently reported, actor Jesse Metcalfe, who also stars in "God's Not Dead 2," revealed in an interview with FOX411 last week that he found God while seeking sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous.
"[Faith is] really important to me," the "Dallas" and "Desperate Housewives" actor told the outlet. "I really discovered a connection with a higher power and with God as I understand him probably five years ago when I got sober through the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous."
It was back in 2007 that Metcalfe publicly admitted struggling with alcohol and entered rehab. He said at the time that prayer is what got him through the ordeal, describing how Alcoholics Anonymous was also greatly beneficial.
As TheBlaze has noted, the "God's Not Dead" franchise has received critiques by atheists since the first film's debut in 2014, but actor, producer and Pure Flix Entertainment founder David A.R. White recently dismissed some secularists' claims that the new movie is misleading and "full of fake Christian persecution," as one atheist blogger charged last year.
"It's an interesting thing, because, if it wasn't real, why do they get so offended by it?" White told TheBlaze earlier this month. "I don't think it would annoy people if it wasn't true."
He continued, "At the end of "God's Not Dead 1′ and even part two, we throw up about 50 different court cases that are dealing with similar issues right now."

Windows Server 2003 R2 includes Windows SharePoint Services. I've talked about some of the new features included with a free update to this new Windows Server feature — particularly the product upgrade from version 2.0 to version 3.0. In this tip, I'll cover the installation and configuration steps you need in order to get a standalone Windows SharePoint Service 3.0 installation up and running on your Windows Server 2003 system.
- Install the Application Server (IIS) role on your Windows Server 2003 system.
- Install the Mail server (POP3, SMTP) role on your system.
- Download and install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0. Make sure to download the version (32-bit or 64-bit) that matches your operating system.
- Verify that ASP.NET v2.0.50727 is allowed by opening the Internet Services Manager, choosing Web Services Extensions, choosing ASP .NET v2.0.50727, and clicking the Allow button.
- Download Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 from Microsoft. Don't install Windows SharePoint Services through Add/Remove Programs, because this is not the latest version of the service. For the x64 version of SharePoint, go here.
- Execute the downloaded file named SharePoint.exe.
- When asked, choose a Basic installation. The Basic installation also includes a run-time database.
Figure A
|Choose an installation type.

Subject: [DNA] 9RA autosomal Native American marker
Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2008 11:01:32 -0400
Not really, Anders. Someone either has Native American ancestors, or they don't. The AncestrybyDNA BGA test purports to indicate the test-taker's likelihood of having such ancestry. A D9S919 9RA marker actually tells the test-taker that he or she *does* have NA ancestry (after ruling out "Beringian" ancestry). People with NA ancestry should test positive for that ancestry, by whatever tests are devised. In a group of 100 people whose average result is 10% NA, by the BGA test, about 3 of them *should* test positive for the 9RA marker. If this does not happen, then the value of BGA tests could be called seriously into question. Of course, if this *does* happen, then one might have more confidence in finding some value in the BGA tests.

In thirty-one biblical, highly personal meditations, Nancy Stafford leads us to the edge of an endless sea—the vast, incomprehensible ocean of God's love. Nancy reflects upon the terrible beauty of His love, the wonder of forgiveness, waiting in His love, mystery and intimacy, and the calming reality of love that never fails. Each meditation includes a Scripture to ponder and an opportunity to respond to God in prayer. Here are memorable thoughts to cling to through the hours of the day…and night!

No Death Penalty for Marine
Associated Press | August 31, 2006CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - The government will not seek the death penalty against a Marine Corps private who is among eight service members charged with murder and other crimes in the shooting of an Iraqi civilian, a military prosecutor said Wednesday.
Lt. Col. John Baker announced the prosecution's position during a hearing for Pfc. John J. Jodka III, 20. A Camp Pendleton spokesman said the prosecutor's statement applied only to Jodka, not the six other Marines and one Navy corpsman also charged in the case.
The hearing for Jodka and a separate one for another Marine, Cpl. Marshall Magincalda, 23, are part of the process to determine whether the defendants should face courts-martial.
The Marines and corpsman are charged in the shooting of Hashim Ibrahim Awad, 52, in the village of Hamdania. Iraqi witnesses told the military that Marines and a Sailor kidnapped Awad on April 26, bound his feet, dragged him from his home and shot him to death in a roadside hole.
Jodka is accused of firing on Awad. Magincalda is suspected of binding Awad's feet and kidnapping him.
Jodka, in desert fatigues, watched the proceeding calmly. Asked at one point whether he wanted to make a statement, he said firmly, "No, sir."
Lawyers for Jodka argued vehemently that "inflammatory" statements made by the private and other Marines should be kept secret before trial.
Retired Col. Jane Siegel, who represents Jodka, said disclosing the 16 statements about the incident during a highly publicized hearing would hurt jury selection for Jodka's expected court martial.
"To openly discuss contents will completely pollute the local and national jury pool," Siegel said. "Some of it is very inflammatory."
A separate proceeding on Wednesday for Magincalda lasted only 30 minutes.
Investigating officer Col. Robert S. Chester, who is hearing the case, said the defense had asked for the hearing to be closed to the public, fearing publicity might hurt Magincalda's ability to receive a fair trial.
Chester opposed the request, saying the public has a "very compelling right to hear these proceedings."
Chester said he would tell prosecutors by Friday whether he had questions about any of their evidence.
Prosecutor Capt. Nicholas L. Gannon urged Chester to focus on statements by three members of the squad, including an alleged confession by squad leader Sgt. Lawrence G. Hutchins III.
The hearings held under Article 32 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice are equivalent to civilian preliminary or grand jury hearings.
Both defendants have been held in the Camp Pendleton brig since returning from Iraq.
The Marines have the opportunity to mount a defense, call witnesses or even testify themselves. Their lawyers were expected to challenge use of the defendants' pretrial statements by contending they were subjected to heavy-handed inquiries with threats of the death penalty.
The other defendants, all members of the Camp Pendleton-based 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, are expected to have separate hearings in coming weeks. The charges include kidnapping, murder and conspiracy.

Al Qudra Holding set up office in Morocco
A high profile delegation from Abu Dhabi-based Al Qudra Holding, led by Eng. Salah Salem Bin Omeir Al Shamsi, Chairman and Mr Khalifa Khouri, Board Member visited the President of the Region of Rabat, Mr. Hassan Armani to discuss strategic investments in Morocco's capital city of Rabat. Also present was Al Qudra Holding's Morocco based representative, Mr Taha Abdel Jalil Al Fahim, Regional Director, and Mr Hadi Tahboub, General Manager for Q-Link.
"Establishing an office in Morocco marks Al Qudra Holding's first step in expanding regionally." Said Eng. Salah Salem Bin Omeir Al Shamsi, Chairman and Managing Director, Al Qudra Holding. "Operations at our Moroccan offices should commence by October of this year. We will start with the city's infrastructure and transportation development." he continued.
The main topic of discussion was Al Qudra Holding's interest in investing in Rabat's public transport infrastructure that aims in developing the concept of an electrically driven tram-way in Rabat city. The President also welcomed Al Qudra Holding's initiatives to develop water taxis and a water bus concept to ease traffic congestion. Heavy traffic is causing a problem in areas which are witnessing a number of important property development projects. Furthermore, Al Qudra Real Estate, a subsidiary of Al Qudra Holding, is also involved in real estate projects in Morocco.
Hadi Tahboub, General Manager Q-Link Transport, later held detailed discussions with the Public Transportation Department on laying the ground work for a new fleet of public buses, upgrading and developing current and new bus stations, as a plan to ensure current experienced Moroccan staff and employees of the Willaya's Public Bus Transport Department are an integral part of Rabat's future world class development process.
Eng Al Shamsi re-iterated Al Qudra Holding's dedication to further developing the already close ties between the UAE and the people of Morocco, as this is an initiative closely followed up on by the President of the UAE, which is a legacy put in place by the late Sheikh Zayed al-Nahyan, may Allah rest his soul.

Bob vacationing with family in Panama
Greetings from the Beach family-Happy Holidays to you all!
Bob, Wendy, Merle, and Dan spent a very festive Holiday in Panama. We watched the big ships go through the canal, went off the grid at an Eco Lodge in the jungle on the Caribbean. We zip lined on trees that were 150 feet tall, and visited native villages. Our family spent Christmas at the rainforest where we fished on Christmas day, just off the Panama canal with monkeys jumping in our boat for food. Riding horses in the mountain towns and relaxing on the sunny beaches of the Pacific was as great as it sounds. A great trip which I would recommend to anyone!
This picture is of Merle and Dan with the Chief of an Embreera native American village. They enjoy maintaining their culture and were accessible with a guide and a one hour dugout canoe ride up a long river complete with waterfalls. Approximately two hundred folks live there.
We hope you all had fun over the holidays and can't wait to see you back at Basin Harbor in 2012!
Best wishes to you all,

Shares of Southwestern Energy Company (SWN - Free Report) hit a 52-week high of $45.53 during Wednesday's trading session. However, the stock closed the session at $45.39, which reflects a solid return of 22.1% over the past six months. The average trading volume for the last three months aggregated 4,188,850 shares.
Southwestern Energy is one of the largest producers of natural gas in the U.S., with core Fayetteville Shale properties spreading over 913,502 net acres. The company recently reported stellar fourth quarter results. A solid production growth more than offset the subtle drop in realized prices.
Southwestern reported adjusted earnings of 54 cents per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 52 cents and improving from the prior-year quarter earnings of 45 cents. Quarterly operating revenues of $907.1 million comfortably beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $876.0 million and increased significantly from $777.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.
During the fourth quarter, the company's oil and gas production grew 18.0% year over year to 177.0 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) – almost entirely gas – driven by increased Marcellus Shale activity. Production from Southwestern's Fayetteville shale plays decreased 1.5% from the year-earlier period to 123.2 Bcfe. However, output from the Marcellus Shale plays jumped 151.3% from the prior-year quarter to 48.5 Bcfe.
As of Dec 31, 2013, Southwestern's gas and oil proved reserves totaled 6,976 Bcfe, up 74% from 4,018 Bcfe at the end of 2012. The substantial increase reflects higher Fayetteville and Marcellus shale drilling activities. Almost all of Southwestern's estimated proved reserves were natural gas, of which 61% was classified as proved developed at year-end 2013. During 2013, the company added 3,615 Bcfe to proved reserves. These additions replaced approximately 550% of its production.
Southwestern boasts a strong balance sheet with significant liquidity and financial flexibility. Moreover, the company's continuous endeavor of focusing on return on investment, coupled with its large drilling inventory, uniquely positions it to create significant value for shareholders. Southwestern remains focused on generating economic returns. It is committed to projects returning at least 1.3x the present value index and intends to only drill projects that meet the return threshold.
Southwestern currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Some better-ranked stocks in the broader energy sector include Range Resources Corporation (RRC - Free Report) , Vermilion Energy Inc. (VET - Free Report) and Patterson-UTI Energy Inc. (PTEN - Free Report) . All the three stocks hold a Zacks Rank #1.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln
International Relations
In so many ways, this university has become a player in the global marketplace of higher education. Our most visible initiatives may be in China where we now have partnership degree programs with two universities, growing research relationships, and, here in Lincoln, the Confucius Institute, which is developing significant programs to help foster Nebraskans' understanding of Chinese language and culture. You can travel to Xi'an or Hangchou China and find a UNL office of admissions and young Chinese students sporting Husker gear. We are welcoming an increasing number of Chinese students to our community. We have other significant relationships in countries around the world. As part of our priority in creating a world-class undergraduate experience, we need to continue to expand both the opportunities for our students to study abroad and for foreign students to pursue their studies in Lincoln.
Last year I announced a campus-wide committee of faculty, students, and administrators to develop a focus and vision for our international programming. This International Programs Advisory Council, under the leadership of Susan Fritz, associate vice chancellor for IANR, and David Wilson, associate vice chancellor in Academic Affairs, has issued a preliminary framework for the steps we should take to make this effort successful. This is an important undertaking and I hope one that will attract your support.
For us to rightly claim that we are providing our students with the tools and experiences they will need to make their way in the world, this university must provide them with a diverse educational environment. This clearly means that both our faculty and student body must reflect not just the world of Nebraska but the world at large. As our core value suggests, we strive to achieve within our community diversity of people as well as perspective. We can, and should, be equally adamant that our community reflects varied races, varied faiths and varied points of view. This core value is not derived from any government mandate or any political creed. It is based in our responsibility to our students. We have been committed to diversity and we have worked hard to achieve success.
In November the people of Nebraska may vote on an initiative that could deprive us of some of the tools for diversity that are authorized by the United States Supreme Court and freely used by most of our peers and our competitors. Proponents of this so-called equal rights amendment seek to unilaterally disarm this university and the state in its competition for talent. However, even if this amendment passes, there will be no diminishment in our efforts to diversify this campus. Indeed, with some tools removed, we would be forced to redouble our efforts. Let me be clear. While we will fully comply with the law, we would continue to evaluate units and administrators on their ability to achieve diversity. We would continue to devote resources to compensate for the disadvantages placed upon us by this initiative. The opening of the new Gaughan Multicultural Center should be a catalyst for activities that will make us more open, rather than more suspicious, of different races, different cultures, and different perspectives.
Alumni Engagement
Historically our alumni association has been independent of the university. While there are some advantages to independence, it is also clear that both the association and the university have a similar objective - to allow the university to benefit from the time and talent of our alumni. Our association has adopted a bold new charter that is designed to better integrate it into the life of the university and to coordinate its alumni activities with existing programs in the colleges and other units. It is important for our future that the students we graduate stay connected to us throughout their lives, and I believe we now have a structure that will encourage that to happen. Each of us took responsibility to make this campus more welcoming to students and prospective students and the results of increased enrollment, retention and graduation are clear. Now we must make the same effort toward our alumni. The Alumni Association can lead but it cannot alone achieve success without each of our participation.
One of the significant issues facing our country is the ability to sustain our quality of life in the face of the threat of climate change, increasing demands on exhaustible sources of energy, and the overuse of our valuable natural resources. This university should take a leadership role in meeting these challenges. One can sense an increased attention to these issues in our classrooms, and alternative energy and climate change have emerged as two significant priorities in our research agenda. We must be leaders as well in our behavior as consumers of energy and natural resources. On the recommendation of ASUN and the Faculty Senate, I have established a Commission on Sustainability to consider how the university, and each of us individually, can contribute to addressing this problem.
While the campus administration will certainly bear its share of responsibility in moving us toward sustainability, ultimately each of us in our role as consumers must drive this initiative. We have embraced green building standards, where possible, in the construction of our new buildings and in making investments that will save energy in our existing buildings. It is also true that individual decisions about turning off lights and computers, inflating tires, and recycling will weigh heavily on whether we achieve success. I have invited the new commission to advise me on the breadth of possible actions the university might take administratively and that each of us might take individually to make our enterprise more sustainable. And at the risk of sounding like the campus nanny, our individual sustainability through wellness activities is also important.
Campus Safety
In addition to being sustainable, this campus should be safe. We have witnessed recent tragic events at other campuses. Life provides no guarantees against these repeating themselves here or elsewhere. We must prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. We have systematically reviewed all of the reports from campuses that have experienced incidents as well as best practice recommendations and we are working toward implementing those that are feasible. I want to remind you of two things that each and everyone of us can do. First, sign up for the UNL Alert program and encourage your students to do likewise. In the event of an emergency this provides the most effective means of notifying the community. Second, be vigilant and proactive. Most of us are not skilled in recognizing when a person represents a threat to himself or others but we have people on this campus who are. Please do not hesitate to report matters to our crisis alert center. Remember the number: 472-2222.
