Microsoft didn't plan to support member properties in SQL Server 7.0 OLAP Services. Member properties contain additional dimension-member data that comes from columns in your dimension tables. For example, a product dimension might have member properties such as color, size, and manufacturer that you can use to provide a more specific description of the product. Before the commercial release of SQL Server 7.0, beta users insisted that member properties were necessary, so Microsoft added support for them just before releasing the product.
Now, most of you are using SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services, and you probably can't imagine what the product would be like without member properties. I can't think of one Analysis Services application that doesn't use some aspect of member properties. But even so, many people don't know how to use member properties to their full potential. Are you getting the most from member properties? You can increase the value of your analytic applications by tapping into these top 10 ideas for maximizing the value of member properties.
10. Use Member Properties to Store Associated Information About Dimension Members
Storing additional dimension-member information is the most basic use of member properties. If you've developed your own front-end application, you can display this associated information in fly-over hints (e.g., a tool tip) or in a property panel that appears whenever a user selects a dimension member. For example, if you have an OLAP cube that contains your product information, you could use member properties to store and display such product information as the product manager's name, the original product-release date, the current version number, the associated product family, and even a longer product description.
9. Use DIMENSION PROPERTIES to Show Member-Property Values
Because member properties contain information about dimension members, displaying member properties along with query results is helpful. When you create an MDX query, you can use the DIMENSION PROPERTIES keyword to specify that the query returns certain member properties with the dimension members on the rows or columns. Few third-party OLAP front-end products use this keyword to display member properties along with the query result, probably because the functionality is Microsoft-specific and can be tricky to implement if you don't plan it during application design. However, if you're developing a custom application that displays query results, using DIMENSION PROPERTIES is an efficient way to retrieve and display the values of the member properties. The following code example shows how to retrieve the type of member card that each of the top 10 FoodMart 2000 customers holds, based on unit sales:
SELECT \{ \[Unit Sales\] \} ON COLUMNS, TOPCOUNT( Customers.\[Name\].Members, 10, \[Unit Sales\] ) DIMENSION PROPERTIES Customers.\[Member Card\] ON ROWS FROM Sales
To see how the DIMENSION PROPERTIES keyword works, first run the preceding query in the MDX Sample Application. Then, double-click a customer name in the grid that contains the query result. Along with the query result, the MDX Sample Application returns all the available information about that dimension member, including the member-card type for each of the top 10 FoodMart 2000 customers.
8. Use Calculated Members to Show Member-Property Values
Many applications don't support the DIMENSION PROPERTIES keyword, but Analysis Services and OLAP Services let you use calculated members to return member-property values along with query results. Just create a calculated member that has the same name as the member property, and use a formula like the following to return the value of the member property:
WITH MEMBER \[Measures\].\[Member Card\] AS 'Customers .CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES ("Member Card")' SELECT \{ \[Member Card\], \[Unit Sales\] \} ON COLUMNS, TOPCOUNT( Customers.\[Name\].Members, 10, \[Unit Sales\] ) ON ROWS FROM Sales
This query returns the top 10 customers based on unit sales. The query displays each customer's total unit sales value and the member-card type.
7. Use Member Properties as an Alternative Dimension Hierarchy
Member properties aren't very different from dimension levels. For example, in the FoodMart 2000 Sales cube, the Customers dimension is organized geographically. Couldn't you just as easily organize the customers by member-card type? Sure. The query in Listing 1 returns the top five customers based on unit sales for each member-card type. Figure 1 shows the query's result.
Listing 1's query creates four calculated members in the Product dimension—one for each member-card type. I chose the Product dimension because I needed a dimension other than the Measures and Customers dimensions. Each of the four calculated members returns the sum of the selected measure (in this case, Unit Sales) for each of the customers who have that card type. For example, the Bronze calculated member returns the sum of all customers holding a Bronze member card. I used the GENERATE() function to determine the top five customers for each of the four member-card types.
6. Use Member Properties to Store Starting and Ending Dates for Each Time Period
If you develop your own analytic applications and you want to create an application that understands what calendar dates each time member corresponds to, you can include in the Time dimension member properties that return the starting and ending date of each time period. Client applications can tell the difference between members at different levels, such as months and years, but they can't tell for sure what dates map to each time period. For example, a time period might be called Week 5, but that name doesn't tell the client application how to map the time period to the calendar. Plus, you can create the Time dimension members in any language, which further complicates the problem. For example, a client application might not be able to recognize the word January in multiple languages. Having member properties that contain the starting and ending dates of the time period can help you, as a client-application developer, determine how to correlate the members of the Time dimension to an actual calendar. For example, the member property for Holiday Season might contain the specific dates November 27-January 6.
5. Use Member Properties to Store Alternative Language Names
These days, even small companies often have a presence in more than one country, and you might want or need to provide analytic applications that can display data in the appropriate language for the region where users are viewing it. When you create a member property in Analysis Manager, you can change the properties of the member property to reflect local data. For example, say your company is based in France and some of your product names appear slightly differently in English than in French. You can create a member property to contain all the English versions of your product names. You configure this property by setting the language property of the member property to English and the type to Caption. Setting the member property this way is a hint that will help the analytic application display the correct product caption for the locale where the application is running.
4. Use Member Properties to Implement Dimension Security
To protect confidential information, you might want to control which OLAP users can access certain dimension members. For example, in a retail-sales application, you might want a store manager to have access to the sales information for only her store. Most DBAs control data access by using dimension-level security. If you have a close mapping between your users and your dimension members (meaning that a one-to-one relationship exists between each user and the dimension members he can access), you can store the usernames in a member property for that dimension. When a user logs in to your application, you can check which dimension members she's allowed to access based on whether that username appears in a dimension member's property. Better yet, you can have Analysis Services match the username to the member property for you. Just edit a Cube Role, click the Dimensions tab, and change one of the dimensions to Custom; then type the appropriate MDX into the Allowed Members dialog box. (For more information about how to restrict user access to selected information, see "Security and Parameterization," December 2002.)
3. Use Member Properties for Member-Name Aliases
Have you ever made a bar chart on a cube that has long dimension-member names? All the names run over each other, and the chart usually displays them as truncated. To create short and long alternative captions for member names, you can use a technique similar to the one I described for creating multilingual cubes. Just use Analysis Manager to configure the property type as a short caption or a long caption. If you don't need a member name's full detail, you can configure your application to use the short caption or even an abbreviated caption.
2. Use Member Properties for Member-Selection Criteria
Possibly the most obvious and valuable use of member properties is for filtering (selecting) dimension members. The code in Listing 2 shows how to filter the Customer dimension to find only male customers who have Silver member cards. Then, the query finds the top 10 of these customers based on unit sales. I always get a kick out of running a query like this one in the FoodMart 2000 Sales cube because some of the men have the most unlikely names. You can see what I mean by looking at Figure 2, which shows the query's results.
1. Use Member Properties with Virtual Dimensions
Analysis Services' virtual dimensions expose member properties as a separate dimension. The FoodMart 2000 Sales cube contains several virtual dimensions: Education Level, Gender, Marital Status, Promotion Media, Promotions, Store Size in SQFT, Store Type, and Yearly Income. Each virtual dimension is based on a member property from a nonvirtual dimension. Virtual dimensions are efficient because they don't require extra disk storage as a typical dimension does and they still perform well. If you used virtual dimensions to filter dimension members, the query would look like the following example, which finds the top 10 single females based on unit sales:
SELECT \{ \[Unit Sales\] \} ON COLUMNS, TOPCOUNT( \[Customers\].\[Name\] .MEMBERS, 10, (\[Unit Sales\], \[Marital Status\].\[All Marital Status\].\[S\], \[Gender\]. \[All Gender\].\[F\]) ) ON ROWS FROM Sales
I'm sure you're using member properties today in your analysis solutions, but are you using them to the fullest extent? When you use member properties creatively, you can increase the level of detail you get from Analysis Services. I hope these ideas help you create more valuable solutions. If you have other innovative ideas for using member properties, please send them my way, and I'll share them with other readers.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Senior-laden Campbell University of Buies Creek, N.C., made an impressive team effort Wednesday to capture the 11th PGA Jones Cup presented by Golf Pride.
The Fighting Camels closed with a final-round 6-under-par 282 for a 569 total at PGA Golf Club's Wanamaker Course to protect its first-round lead and defeat runner-up New Mexico State by 17 strokes. The University of Central Oklahoma finished third, 29 shots off the pace.
With the victory, Campbell claimed its third PGA Jones Cup title in the past six years, tying Mississippi State for the most championships in tournament history.
"They knew they would play well, and it didn't surprise them," said Ken Jones, PGA, director of the PGA Golf Management University Program at Campbell. "This is a special event and to win the national championship for PGA Golf Management University Programs is really exciting."
The Camels, which finished 7 under par for the tournament, were paced by medalist Ryan Wolff, a senior from Shokan, N.Y., who fired back-to-back rounds of 70. Of the eight rounds played under par today in windy conditions, three were shot by Campbell players -- Charles Gross (67-143), Ben Polland (70-142) and Wolff. Polland finished tied for second individually with Kyle Wittenbach of Ferris State.
"It was a great day and a lot of fun, but the most important part is that we are bringing the Jones Cup back home," said Wolff. "We came here with a great team, and we were very confident."
"Our main goal was to come here, play our best and go under par," added Polland, a senior from Bloomington, Minn. "This really means a lot, especially winning our third title in the past six years."
Rounding out the Campbell squad were senior Jared Morrow of Charlotte, who fired the low score of the first round, and the lone underclassmen on the team, sophomore Robert Bose of Norfolk, Va.
Defending Champion North Carolina State of Raleigh finished in fourth place with a 599 total.
The 36-hole Championship featured all 20 schools in the PGA Golf Management University program and showcased the top five players from each University.
The event brought together teams from 16 states, who competed at PGA Golf Club for the fifth consecutive year.
The PGA Jones Cup presented by Golf Pride is named for the first PGA Golf Management University Program Director at Mississippi State University, Dr. S. Roland Jones, who held the position from 1985 until his passing in 1997.
The event serves to provide a platform where participants can display professionalism, integrity, character and camaraderie; all characteristics Dr. Jones instilled in PGA Golf Management University students.
All participating universities in the PGA Jones Cup presented by Golf Pride are schools accredited by The PGA of America to offer the four-and-one half to five-year PGA Golf Management University Program for aspiring PGA Professionals. The college curriculum provides extensive classroom studies, internship experience and player development, and provides students the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills to succeed in the golf industry as a PGA Professional.
Students in the PGA Golf Management University Program study a combination of golf and business-related subjects, as well as serve a minimum of 16 months in on-course internships within the golf industry.
Upon graduation and eligible employment, students are able to be elected to PGA Membership.

Gases contained in pressurised cylinders are used in the University principally for teaching and research and for soldering, welding and flame cutting in maintenance workshops and other workplaces. They are safe after adequate risk assessments have been conducted and when suitable risk reduction measures have been implemented. The main causes of accidents with compressed gases and cylinders include:
Liquid nitrogen
Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic substance commonly used for freezing and storing materials particularly of biological origin. Other cryogenic liquid substances include oxygen, helium, argon and carbon dioxide; carbon dioxide is also employed as a solid and is commonly termed dri-ice. There are four main hazards associated with cryogenic substances:
· Extreme cold, which can cause severe burns through rapid heat transfer
· Contamination of normal air, causing asphyxiation
· Considerable volume change between the liquid and gaseous phases which, on sudden release, can cause harm
· Increased risk of fire, from storing and releasing combustion-supporting gases.
NUI Galway has a Code of Practice and guidelines on Safety Signs for Compressed Gases/LN.
Because gases and cryogenic substances are classed as chemical agents their safe use must be conducted in accordance with the Chemical Agents Regulations (see guidance in NUI Galway Safety Statement - link to follow). Users of compressed gases and cryogenic substances must understand and comply with other safety-related procedures particularly those concerning laboratories and workshops where compressed gas cylinders and cryogenic substances are commonly found.
Because such gases are compressed, users must comply with the Pressure Systems Regulations 2012
Relevant links to further information and support documents include:
PLEASE NOTE: If you have any doubt about the safety of or your own knowledge of compressed gases or cryogenic equipment or procedures you are strongly advised to consult with your supervisor before use.

Yes, but language is a means of communication, when I call a person "troll" it has a specific meaning, "troll " does not just replace "man", the speaker wants to convey something with it.5heaps wrote:if things are words then not only do trolls necessarily exists since "troll" exists, but a man can become a troll as soon as you just use "troll" instead of "man"."Man is a word" does not imply that trolls exist because "troll" is also word, it is an idiotic statement.
as Jeffrey Hopkins says, when Shakespeare said a rose by any other name would still be a rose, he did not mean, a rose by any other name would still be called rose.
A person or a rose is not a constant unchanging thing. If Jeffrey Hopkins was a member of Hell's Angels and he was called there with an other name, like Razz for example, that Razz would not be the same person!

You can still catch this comet
Comet PanSTARRS is still with us for 30 to 45 minutes immediately following sunset. Look for it due west 20 degrees below the crescent moon Thursday, March 14. Shining around second magnitude, PanSTARRS at first appears as a modest star. Binoculars — and with ideal viewing conditions, even the unaided eye — will reveal a wispy tail pointing almost straight up. It appears a little higher above the horizon as it nears its peak on the 24th, edging to the northwest, or right, night by night.
This chunk of ice and rock has resided in the Oort Cloud at the farthest edge of the solar system since its formation billions of years ago. For whatever reason, perhaps a collision with another interstellar object, its usual course changed, bringing it toward the sun for the first time ever. That approach has cost PanSTARRS much of its heft, which we see melting off in the tail. By the time it returns to the outer solar system, there will not be enough left for another visit to our neck of the woods.
This comet was discovered in the summer of June 2011 by the automated Pan-STARRS sky survey in Hawaii, which was set up to find comets and asteroids on possible collision courses with earth — none of which will prove a threat. Come December, we'll have another, possibly brighter visitor in Comet ISON.
The moon draws toward Jupiter at week's end, culminating Sunday when the waxing crescent's upper tip is less than two degrees below Jupiter. The planet is brighter than any star, so don't confuse it with Aldebaran, just a few degrees to the left of the moon.
Saturn is the only other visible planet, rising in the east-southeast before midnight and high in the south before dawn.
Wednesday, March 20, at 7:02 in the morning, the sun passes to the north of the equator, marking the onset of spring for us in the Northern Hemisphere.

Jake Pavelka is confirming reports that Rozlyn Papa is indeed the contestant who had an inappropriate relationship with a male producer on the Bachelor, as tonight's episode will deal with the issue.
"I didn't believe it at first," Jake tells Entertainment Tonight. "I've never been cheated on. I thought it was something that was being produced and thrown at me. As it was unraveling, I realized it was serious."
As for reports that ABC is embellishing the affair to be something it's not (ABC ran a promo claiming it was a sexual affair, Rozlyn has come out denying there was any sex involved), Jake denies this. "Everything that's going to air Monday is exactly the way it happened. There is no embellishing and there's no holding back." Jake also confirms that the staff member is no longer working on the show.
Rozlyn on the other hand continues to speak out against the Bachelor show and ABC. In her latest interview with RadarOnline, The 28-year-old make-up artist from Richmond, Va. accuses ABC of lying to her and manipulating the show. She also claims ABC reneged on their promise to allow her to talk about her 7 year old son, and bring him on the show.
"ABC told me I could bring my son to the show to visit and that I could talk about him each day on the show," Rozlyn told Radar. "But then they didn't let me."
"The other girls on the show all knew about my son and ABC kept telling me to hold off and not tell Jake about him yet. At that point all the other girls knew I had a son and they were spending time alone with Jake and it looked like I was hiding the information."
RealitySteve also corroborates Rozlyn's story. According to him, ABC's plan was to have Rozlyn withhold information about her son, so that by the time Jake found out about it, it would seem like Rozlyn has purposely hid the information from him, thus creating a storyline/scandal for the show. Apparently Rozlyn found out about this when one of the other bachelorettes told her they were asked how they felt about Rozlyn lying to Jake by not telling him she has a son. Rozlyn freaked out on the show's producers upon discovering this. This led to her confiding and developing a relationship with one of the producers, and ultimately getting kicked off the show.
Rozlyn explains her relationship with the said producer, "No, I did not have a sexual relationship with a producer on the show. What they mean by inappropriate relationship is not what inappropriate relationship means in the real world."
According to Rozlyn, she and the producer continue to remain "close" friends but are not a couple.

BEIJING (AP) — Drivers in China are seeing red over a new crackdown on running through intersections when the lights are yellow.
While announcing new rules that double the penalty for traffic light violations, officials also have stressed that running a yellow light will now be considered equivalent to running a red one.
Drivers accustomed to considering the yellow light a warning and the red light an imperative have been left confused, wondering how they can stop suddenly for a yellow light.
Even the official Xinhua News Agency has joined the criticism.
In a "micro-commentary" on its Twitter-like Sina Weibo account, Xinhua cited pioneering physicist Isaac Newton on the difficulty of stopping the momentum of something in motion, saying the new rules are "unreasonable and contrary to Newton's first law."
Police nationwide must enforce the new guidelines on stopping on both red and yellow to protect people's safety, said Li Qing, an official from the Ministry of Public Security's Traffic Administration, in an interview on China Central Television.
Under the new rules that went into effect Tuesday, penalties for traffic light violations doubled to six points on the 12-point scale for losing a license. If your vehicle is already partly over the line when the light changes from green to yellow, you may continue. Otherwise, you must stop, Li said.
In some cities, the traffic lights count down the seconds until the color changes, but this isn't always the case, including at many intersections in Beijing.
The new rules have sparked outrage online from irate drivers, who have complained of the dangers of stopping short in front of other drivers or the inconvenience of always having to slow down when approaching intersections.
In a comment that has been forwarded more than 23,000 times, one driver wrote on Weibo that he had smashed into the back of a car that had suddenly stopped for a yellow light.
"I would like to say whoever made this yellow light rule must be stupid and evil. Everybody, when you are 1 kilometer away from the lights start to slow down ... I wish you the best of luck," wrote Beijing-based Sun Yixuan.
"Netizens say it is difficult to stop on a yellow light. If you reduce your speed to very slow as you come up to the junction, this leads to unbearable traffic congestion," Xinhua said.
Road accidents in China are frequent, due in part to bad driving habits and poorly maintained vehicles.

- Premier League
Villas-Boas angered by Giovani admission
Tottenham Hotspur boss Andre Villas-Boas has criticised Giovani Dos Santos for openly stating his desire to quit the club.
Giovani, 23, joined Tottenham from Barcelona in 2008 but despite impressive displays with the Mexico national team, has struggled to make an impact at White Hart Lane, making just two Premier League starts. He has been in limbo for three consecutive summers, unable to arrange a permanent departure from White Hart Lane.
He has been on loan at Ipswich Town, Galatasaray and Racing Santander while on Spurs' books, and is moving into the final year of his deal. This transfer window could represent the last chance for the North London club to recoup some of the £4.7 million they paid Barca.
The midfielder, who is currently with Mexico at the Olympic Games in London, has been linked to a return to Spain with Malaga.
But Villas-Boas is angry that the player has chosen to go public with his desire to find a new club. He said: "I am not sure what Gio's thought process was, coming out with a statement like that.
"The player is contracted to the club. We respect him and are counting on him to return to club duty. Then we will make a decision that is best for the club."
Meanwhile, Spurs have issued a statement refuting claims that Gareth Bale was kept out of the Team GB squad under false pretences. Bale was not considered for selection due to a back injury but played and scored for Spurs against Toronto before Stuart Pearce's side had played their first Olympics group match.
The statement read: "The club considers the recent comment and accusations regarding Gareth Bale's fitness relating to his non-selection for Team GB to be wholly unacceptable and unjustified. At no time was Gareth made unavailable for selection."

Movie News: First Look at Stylish 'A Most Wanted Man;' 'Argo' Tops BAFTA Awards; New 'Oz: The Great and Powerful' Trailer
A Most Wanted Man: Photographer and music video director Anton Corbijn made his stylish feature debut with The American, starring George Clooney, and he's continuing on that path with A Most Wanted Man, a spy thriller starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Rachel McAdams. The first official image features the two stars; a U.S. release date has not yet been set. [The Hollywood Reporter]
BAFTA: Argo continued its impressive run on the awards circuit, winning Best Picture and Best Director (for Ben Affleck) awards from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) yesterday. As expected, Daniel Day-Lewis took home the prize for Best Actor in Steven Spielberg's Lincoln and Anne Hathaway won as Best Supporting Actress for her musical turn in Les Miserables. In minor surprises, Emmanuelle Riva, 85, became the oldest award winner for her lead performance in Michael Haneke's Amour, and Christoph Waltz was awarded Best Supporting Actor for Django Unchained.

Annie: With Willow Smith out of the running for the title role in the upcoming Jay Z-produced version of Annie, will the Academy Award-nominated Quvenzhane Wallis take her place? The young actress, all of nine years of age, made a splash in the critically acclaimed indie drama Beasts of the Southern Wild, and is now under consideration to star in the musical Annie. Director Will Gluck (Easy A) is writing a new draft of the screenplay, so casting decisions may have to wait a while. [EW.com]

What You Should Know About Sony Driver Updating
There are a number of typical warnings and also other messages which you might get in the driver upgrading procedure, many of which I've paraphrased and listed here along with guidance on what to do:
Windows cannot verify that the driver is compatible: Touch or click Yes to continue installing it if you're sure this driver is the right one. Choose No if you think you might have the driver for the wrong model or something like that, in which case you should look for other INF files or maybe an entirely different driver download.
How to Update Drivers with Device Manager?
1. Open Control Panel
Depending on your version of Windows, Control Panel is usually available from the Start Menu or the Apps screen.
What you do next depends on what Windows operating system you're using:
- In Windows 10 and Windows 8, tap or click on the Hardware and Sound link.
- In Windows 7, click System and Security.
- In Windows Vista, choose System and Maintenance.
- In Windows XP, click Performance and Maintenance.
Note: If you don't see these options, your Control Panel view may be set to Large icons, Small icons, or Classic View, depending on your version of Windows. If so, find and choose Device Manager from the big collection of icons you see and then skip to Step 3 below.
2. Open Device Manager
- In Windows 10 and Windows 8, check under the Devices and Printers heading.
- In Windows 7, look under System.
- In Windows Vista, you'll find Device Manager towards the bottom of the window.
- Windows XP Only: You have a few extra steps since Device Manager isn't as easily available in your version of Windows.
From the open Control Panel window, click System, choose the Hardware tab, and then click the Device Manager button.
3. In Device Manager, you can check for updates, update your drivers or troubleshoot driver problems
Still can't Fix SONY VPCL111FX/B Driver Problem? Try DriverTuner
1. Click here to download DriverTuner and double click it to install
2. Scan your computer for outdated drivers. Select the ones(here you should choose SONY VPCL111FX/B) you want to update and click download
3. When the download process is finished, click SETUP to install them. Voila! Your driver for SONY VPCL111FX/B has been updated. Sometimes a reboot is required to put the changes into use.

Among the great power balladeers who helped create the world in which Adele now thrives, Celine Dion gets nowhere near the credit she deserves.
Sure, we talk about Barbra Streisand; yes, let's definitely credit Roberta Flack.
But you can't get to "Someone Like You" or "Don't You Remember" without going through the weepy-yet-grandiose likes of "Because You Loved Me" or "My Heart Will Go On," the ne plus ultra of Kleenex-rending confessions.
Perhaps Dion's under-recognition as an important influence is what drove the Canadian singer to cover Adele's "Hello" on New Year's Eve during her regular gig at Caesars Palace in Las...

First Lite Allegheny Pant *Black - Discontinued*
Product Description
Product Description
This is the ultimate first layer in your hunting outfit. Once the leaves are off the trees, these midweight bottoms will provide warmth, breathability and odor control all day long. Also a great layer under your waders for those cold mornings fishing, treestand or in the duck blind.
- 18.5 micron superfine Merino wool
- Midweight 230 gram interlock fabric
- Next to skin
- Machine washable and EXCLUSIVE dryable
Merino wool fibers are some of the finest found in nature. It is the tiny diameter of the fibers that allows it to be worn directly next to your skin without any irritation or itch. Merino wool comes from the Merino sheep breed which is only found in specific natural environments. The wool growers in New Zealand and Australia have refined the wool sorting process to produce soft, durable wool for next to skin applications.
The composition of wool makes it warm, water-repellent, odor-resistant, flame-retardant, durable, anti-static, and a UV protector. Wool is 90% keratin - a tough, insoluble, fibrous protein also found in hair, finger nails, horns, hooves and the outer layer of skin. A wool fiber can be bent and twisted more than 20,000 times before it will break. This elasticity as well as the microscopic diameter of each strand of wool creates a soft, comfortable, fabric that is perfect for hunters in all types of conditions.
Odor Control
There are a number of aspects of the physical and chemical structure of Australian Merino that make it naturally more resistant to odors than other textiles, especially synthetics.
Moisture Transport - While sweat itself has no odor, if it remains on the skin in time bacteria develop and create unpleasant body odors. Merino reduces the opportunity for odors to generate because it is more efficient than other textiles at absorbing sweat and evaporating it into the air.
No Microbial attraction - Studies have shown that bacteria are more attracted to the smooth, positively charged surface of a synthetic fiber than the scaly surface of a Merino fiber which carries no charge.
Moisture Absorption - The Merino has a much greater capacity than other fibers to absorb moisture. In fact, it can absorb 35% of its own weight in liquid. The moisture is bound within the structure, and so is not available to microbes, which are unable to penetrate the scaly surface of the fiber.
Glass Transition - In water and conditions of high humidity, Merino passes through what is termed a glass transition at which point it dramatically increases its rate of absorption and dispersion.
Trapping Odors - The rate of diffusion of small and large molecules into the fiber increases and it is able to absorb odors faster. When the temperature drops, and the fiber once again falls below the glass transition, the odors are trapped within the structure even if the moisture evaporates. Later, during laundering, the garment again passes through the glass transition point and the odors are carried out of the structure by the water. Synthetics are not able to benefit from this same effect because they do not pass through glass transition during normal wear.
Thermal Regulation
Each wool fiber is covered with tiny scales like tiles or shingles on a roof that help shed water, rain or spills. But wool is full of contrasts and paradoxes that give it outstanding high performance for cold weather activities. The interior (called the cortex) of wool fiber can hold up to 30% of its weight in moisture without the wool fabric feeling damp or clammy, while the exterior (called the cuticle) is water repelling.
Also, when moisture enters the wool fiber, energy is released in the form of heat which helps keep the outdoor enthusiast warm. The high performance characteristics of wool help keep the wearer warm in the winter and cool in the summer by naturally maintaining a comfortable balance in the wearer's personal micro climate - that is the air between the skin and the layers of clothing. This means that in warm weather fine wool helps keep the wearer cool by transferring heat and body moisture away from the body for a naturally cooling effect.

It's not the sleepless nights, constant feedings or even the diaper duty. So far, Kim Kardashian's biggest struggle with new motherhood has been returning to work after enjoying months of baby bliss with daughter North.
"I took a hiatus after I had the baby and found it challenging to start working again because I didn't want to spend any time away, but you adjust and prioritize and just figure it out!" the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star tells Julia Restoin-Roitfeld for her blog, Romy & the Bunnies.
She adds, "I love being a mom! It's the most rewarding feeling. I really love every phase! Just the way my daughter laughs with me, all of the small things in life you appreciate."

And although balancing her professional and personal lives has been "an adjustment," Kardashian — who just celebrated North's first birthday with a Kidchella backyard bash — has finally discovered a trick to making it all work.
"You become more selective and work on projects that are so meaningful because you want every other waking moment spent with your family," she says. "You have to remember though to make time for yourself. If you feel good, you will be happy in your career and family life and everyone is happy!"
So what does Kardashian love most about spending time with her baby girl?
"My absolute favorite thing is taking a nap with her," she shares. "We cuddle and fall asleep holding each other. It's my favorite time just snuggling with her."

Video: Real or Fake Serena Williams Can't Dance
I don't think this is Serena Williams who is playing for the US Open Title today, but whoever it is needs a lot of work in the dance studio. I gave them an A for effort, but a D for execution.
Personally I will stick to the two step and the shoulder lean no need to get too complicated.
Everyone can't be Beyonce or the stripper at the local club.

DALLAS – A Dallas woman convicted in the dehydration death of her 10-year-old stepson has been sentenced to 85 years in prison.
Tina Marie Alberson was convicted Friday of injury to a child, a second-degree felony, in the July 2011 death of Jonathan James. The boy was denied water for days during record-high temperatures.
Alberson was sentenced Tuesday. The 44-year-old stepmother had faced up to life in prison because of a previous felony conviction.
Alberson, who testified in her own defense, told jurors that she limited Jonathan's water intake a few times as punishment for misbehaving, but saw no sign that he was in medical distress.
The boy's twin brother testified that Jonathan repeatedly asked for water and pretended to use the bathroom so he could sneak a drink from the faucet.

It's also possible that Windows 8 will be provide a big opportunity for developers to have access to markets that have been previously been dominated by established players. Just as the uptake in Windows 3.X allowed Word to bull into WordPerfect's market, Metro/WinRT puts everyone on the same playing field with all sorts of products.
I see Windows 8 as both a pain and a joy. What about you?

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King University baseball team showed no sign of slowing down after last weekend's series win against No. 1 Mount Olive on Wednesday afternoon. The Tornado scored three runs in the first inning, and six in the first three innings en route to their 10-8 victory over Virginia Intermont College.
Mark Hode started on the hill and tossed a perfect 1-2-3 inning in the top of the first to bring King up to bat. The Tornado (18-11) wasted no time getting men on base as Tyler Gaby drew a leadoff walk before Garrett Cook and Geoffrey Cieslewitz both reached on bunt singles to load the bases. Josh Huffman drew a walk to score Gaby get the Tornado on the board. Cook later scored on a ground out and Cieslewitz made the score 3-0 when he scored on a wild pitch.
In the second inning, Virginia Intermont (14-5) plated two runs before the Tornado answered with two of their own to stretch the lead back to three. Brad Blanton started the bottom of inning with a single through the left side and later scored on a Gaby sacrifice fly. Cook then followed Gaby with his first home run of the game to make the score 5-2. Huffman got in on the long ball action in the third inning as he ripped a leadoff home run over the left center field fence to stretch the King lead to four runs.
The Cobras cut into the deficit in the fifth inning, but Gaby sparked the King offense again in the sixth inning with a leadoff walk. Cook followed by blasting his second home run of the game over the left field fence to extend the King lead to five. The Tornado then manufactured another run to take a commanding 10-4 after six innings.
Virginia Intermont tacked on one run in the seventh before making things interesting for King in the ninth inning. Brandon Palmer reached on an error to start the inning, and later came in to score on a wild pitch. Following a run scoring groundout, the Cobras cut the deficit to two when Fabian Placencia scored on a wild pitch. However, Jose Sola was able to get the final out and end the 10-8 King victory.
Hode went four innings for the Tornado while Wes Houser tossed three innings in relief before Sola went the final two innings on the hill. Cook paced the King offense, going 3-for-3 with two home runs and a walk. He also recorded game-highs by driving in three runs, and scoring three times. Cieslewitz, Huffman, Steven Todoschuck and Blanton all recorded two hits in the win while Huffman accounted for two runs batted in.
King will be in action again tomorrow when they travel to Greenville, Tenn., to take on Tusculum. First pitch is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

POINT REYES, Calif. (AP) — Authorities are warning beachgoers to be careful after a man was swept out to sea by a large wave and drowned while trying to save his dog on a Northern California beach.
The Marin Independent Journal (http://bit.ly/UIBDp3 ) reported that 59-year-old Charles Quaid, of Richmond, and his wife were walking on the beach near Point Reyes on New Year's Day when the wave overtook the dog. That's about 30 miles northwest of San Francisco.
The San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/VhR4Cj ) reports the couple went into the water to rescue the dog, but the man was swept away. The wife and dog made it safely to shore.
The incident comes more than a month after three people drowned in roiling surf while trying to save their dog at another Northern California beach.

A successful flight for the European zero gravity research rocket
On Friday 26 March 2010 at 14:43 the MAXUS 8 research rocket was successfully launched from Esrange Space Center in Kiruna, northern Sweden. The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is a major partner in this European Space Agency (ESA) project. During the parabolic flight, one experiment in gravitational biology and three experiments in materials science were conducted successfully.
MAXUS 8's payload contained in a six-metre long light-alloy cylinder, which landed with parachutes 25 minutes after launch according to plan and was retrieved by helicopter. On this occasion, two of the experiments were German, and German scientists played leading roles in the other two. The rocket was carrying an additional payload – an Italian experimental return capsule – that separated during the rocket's ascent phase.
Experiments examine plants and metallic materials in weightless conditions
One of the experiments, performed by scientists from the University of Bonn, investigated the cellular- and molecular-level biological mechanisms for gravity sensing in plants. They used Chara green algae for the experiment, determining the minimum forces and energy that are required for it to sense gravitational attraction at the cellular level.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing and Advanced Materials (Fraunhofer-Instituts für Fertigungstechnik und Angewandte Materialforschung) in Bremen conducted an experiment to investigate the agglomerate behaviour of nickel nanoparticles in mocro gravity. The experimental data, including the size and structure of the resulting products, will be of value in improving the design and properties of industrial catalysts, nanoparticle magnets and certain sensors.
In a materials science experiment carried out by the DLR Institute of Materials Physics in Space (Institut für Materialphysik im Weltraum), Cologne, diffusion processes in melting aluminium alloys and a semiconductor alloy were investigated. For this purpose, the institute has developed a new method for the investigation of chemical diffusion in real time and tested and carried out the experiment. The trial was part of the multilateral project XRMON (X-Ray Monitoring), which is being conducted as part of the ESA's Microgravity Applications Programme, supporting the applications of microgravity research.
By using an X-ray radiography system, which was built by SSC, the chemical diffusion within the samples during the MAXUS flight in weightlessness was, for the first time, 'made visible' and analysed. The researchers tested the use of this procedure in weightlessness. The experiment provides an important reference for experiments conducted on Earth and is making a significant contribution to the understanding of solidification processes.
The fourth experiment studied the melting and solidification behaviour of alloys of titanium and aluminium. The results of this experiment, conducted by the Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble (France), will be compared with similar experiments on the ground to improve the accuracy of computer modelling of industrial casting techniques for, among other things, lighter and more energy efficient turbine blades. At Esrange, German scientists from the Access research centre at Aachen ran the experiment.
Zero gravity for 13 minutes
The Castor 4B rocket can lift payloads of up to 800 kilograms to an altitude of 750 kilometres. The experiments are installed in autonomous modules mounted in a vertical stack inside the rocket. Data is obtained either by telemetry during the flight or after recovery of the payload. The scientists can control the experiments directly as they are operated by means of telecommand and video streams. About 13 minutes of weightlessness were available during the MAXUS rocket's ballistic flight.
As part of the ESA's ELIPS programme (European Programme for Life and Physical Sciences) – in which Germany plays a leading role – the flights can be used by researchers nominated by the DLR Space Agency, as well as German research institutes and industrial concerns.
Since the first flight in 1991, eight such missions have been completed successfully. Industrial users of MAXUS include Astrium (Bremen, Germany), SSC and RUAG Space (Sweden), Kayser-Threde (Munich, Germany) and DLR Moraba (Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany). The Sounding Hypersonic Atmospheric Reentry Kapsule, an experimental return capsule, was built by Centro Italiano Richerche Aerospaziali (Italy).
The MAXUS programme offers scientists the possibility of conducting experiments in microgravity conditions and to prepare experiments for the International Space Station. It offers re-usability of payloads, short preparation and access times, regular access to zero gravity and lower safety requirements than manned missions.

Julia Frost began training for life in the business world while she was still a student at Suffolk University.
As president of Women In Business, a Sawyer Business School student-run organization, Frost had the chance to inspire women to achieve their goals by providing networking opportunities both on campus and in the community.
Her duties included reaching out to students, faculty, staff, alumni, local business professionals and area residents. She connected them with organizations such as Women for Women International, which offers emotional support, job skills training, leadership education, and access to business markets to women from war-torn regions trying to rise from poverty and rebuild their lives.
Building skills and finding passion
Frost, who earned her bachelor's degree in Business Administration in 2008 with a Management major, gained confidence by leading Women in Business, and she says that experience and the efforts of several faculty members set the stage for her career.
"Having personable faculty who were experienced in their fields and who were willing to share their experiences and resources with me was invaluable," she says. "They also encouraged me to find my passion and incorporate it into my professional career."
A growing company
Fast forward to 2012. Frost is a partner and the business manager of CHIVE, a boutique event design and catering company in Beverly that produces zero-waste events throughout New England.
Working closely with local farmers, artisan purveyors, and other small businesses, CHIVE has doubled both the number of events staged and revenue annually since it was founded four years ago.
"We are proud to have, in a relatively short time, created a sustainable model for a profitable business," she says.
Making connections
Frost says she has created her dream job. She gets to meet new people daily at food industry events and enjoys supporting non-profit, educational and environmental organizations through fundraising dinners and celebrations.
"I love gathering people around food and drink and connecting them to one another by sharing resources," she says. "It's great to see relationships grow through sincere connections."
Frost has come a long way since she entered the Sawyer Business School, yet she is always looking for ways to better herself.
"I'm eager to keep learning and improving my business skills," she says. "The bottom line is finding the fun in figuring out the best way to make things work efficiently and sustainably."
Frost shared her story with other young alumni who were recognized for their career accomplishments at a "10 Under 10" reception in April. All 10 of the alumni honored earned their Suffolk University degrees within the past decade.

Dwight Howard had 19 points and 18 rebounds, Antawn Jamison added 19 points, and the Los Angeles Lakers survived Kobe Bryant's bizarre four-point performance for their eighth win in 11 games, 91-85 over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night.
Bryant didn't attempt a shot in the first half and scored his first basket with 2:13 to play, finishing 1 for 8 with eight turnovers in one of the oddest games of his 17-year career.
Yet the Lakers survived against the Suns, getting 17 points from Metta World Peace and maintaining a small lead down the stretch of their 12th win in Phoenix's last 13 visits to Staples Center.
Michael Beasley scored 18 points and Luis Scola had 15 for the Suns, who have lost eight of 10. Phoenix is 5-23 on the road.
In a Lakers season jam-packed with ugly losses, statistical improbabilities and general weirdness, this victory will rank among the biggest curiosities. Along with Bryant's disappearing act, they won despite managing just nine points in the third quarter, their lowest-scoring period of the season.
Los Angeles returned from its longest road trip of the season with its fourth straight home win, but Bryant — the NBA's third-leading scorer this season — contributed little to the Lakers' win over the Suns, who beat the Lakers in Phoenix to start the trip last month.
Bryant took his recent propensity for playmaking to an uncomfortable extreme in the first half, accumulating eight assists without taking a shot. Kobe even passed up fairly decent looks to force passes to his teammates on a few occasions, voluntarily removing the shooting skills of the fifth-leading scorer in NBA history from the Lakers' offense.
Bryant finally started shooting in the third quarter, but was just as inept as his teammates, missing all five of his attempts. The Lakers didn't make a basket in the third quarter after World Peace's 3-pointer with 8:58 left, and Phoenix took its first lead late in the period despite its own poor shooting while the Lakers missed 16 of their 19 shots and went 9:21 without a basket.
Los Angeles fell behind by six points before finally mounting a comeback led by World Peace and Jodie Meeks, whose layup reclaimed the lead with 8:40 to play. The Lakers kept that small lead down the stretch, and Bryant finally got a bucket, an 8-foot leaner in the waning minutes.
The Lakers finally got home after being displaced by the Grammy Awards during a seven-game trip. Although the cross-country jaunt was fraught with injuries, poor performances and the usual drama surrounding this team, Los Angeles went 4-3 and built a little momentum for the first time in weeks.
The Lakers began that trip with a 92-86 loss at Phoenix on Jan. 30, blowing a big second-half lead and losing Howard to the shoulder injury that still dogs him.
NOTES: F Earl Clark played the Lakers' entire road trip with pain in his right foot, with the Lakers attributing it to inflammation or tendinitis. Clark says the pain reminded him of a stress fracture from his college career at Louisville, but he intends to play through it. ... The Lakers were home for the first time since losing Pau Gasol for at least six weeks with a foot injury.... Will Ferrell and Shaquille O'Neal watched the game from courtside seats underneath the basket on the Lakers' end of the floor. During a third-quarter timeout, Ferrell donned the red blazer worn by Staples Center security personnel and stood on the court. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis also sat courtside.

New York City is the primary focus of the 2013 Earth Institute's Professional Development Program in Environmental Sustainability as well as the inspiration for the student research projects. Biodiversity, the driving currency for many ecological services, will be explored in natural and built landscapes around the city. In addition, firsthand experience in the local wetlands will form a basis for discussion of the urban freshwater cycle. The Institute will also provide exposure to alternative sources of energy as well some current research on the topic. These three vital components of the New York City ecosystem, biodiversity, water and energy, will be woven into each aspect of the course just as they are present in the everyday lives of its residents.Teachers and Graduate Students in Education. Sustainability and environmental issues are rapidly gaining prominence in schools. In order to keep curricula current, EICES faculty guide participants in developing new units that are integrated across multiple disciplines, appeal to students of different cultural backgrounds or learning styles, link to current standards (e.g., Scope and Sequence), and contain differentiated lessons for varying skill levels. Educators from all disciplines and age-levels have benefitted from the Institute, although the focus tends toward middle school science, math and technology.
The Earth Institute's Professional Development Program in Environmental Sustainability inquiry- and project-based coursework is modeled so that participants first experience the process as students and then learn how to translate it to their own classrooms. For educators seeking certification requirements in science, the courses meet the New York (NY) State Department of Education's certification requirements and can be applied to a Master's degree or to the NY City "30 points above" Masters for salary increase.
EICES faculty members are experienced in bringing ecological research and concepts to students and professionals from all fields. With a growing need to understand conservation biology and sustainability, ecology and urban ecosystems, and research methods, students from various schools and disciplines gain insight into their own field through research, presentations and workshops. The Institute provides a rare opportunity to gain graduate credits through the guided development of an ecologically-based project chosen by each participant. Policy assessments, journalism articles, academic posters, and sustainable business plans are just a few of the notable options.
Previous Programs
The Earth Institute's Professional Development Program in Environmental Sustainability has previously examined issues facing ecosystems in the Tropical Caribbean Biome and the Lower Hudson River Valley & Highlands. Sample student research projects from these field sites include:
- Birds and Human Interaction in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic)
- Golf Course Fertilization and Sea Water Nutrient Levels
- Brook Trout Reintroduction in Black Rock Forest (New York)
- Domestic Honey Bees & Parasites: Effect of Temperature and Population Density
- Species Diversity in Natural versus Human-made Coastal Habitat
Sample curriculum projects developed collaboratively by students and inspired by their research and coursework include:
- Citizen Scientists: Population and Community Dynamics
- An Introduction to Inquiry for the Middle Grades
- Comparing Communities: An Ecological Assessment of your Neighborhood

Anthony Como, who had a cup of coffee in the City Council after he won a special election to replace Dennis Gallagher only to be defeated five months later by Elizabeth Crowley in 2008, has announced that he will challenge State Senator Joseph Addabbo this fall.
A source close to Pol Position said that the State Republican Party had been conducting their own polls in the district, which showed Como edging out Addabbo. According to the source, surprised by the results the party bigs did a second poll, just to make sure that voters knew that his name was Anthony Como, and not Anthony Cuomo, and that there was no connection to the powerful political family.
The poll numbers apparently didn't change, and still showed Como with a lead over Addabbo.
Since he lost his seat, Como has been a perennial applicant. First, his name was bandied about as the man to replace Shaun Donovan as commissioner of the Department of Housing and Preservation Development. After several months of speculation and rumors, Como never received the post.
Lately, Como has been the Republican choice as the new executive director of the Board of Elections. However, a partisan stalemate between the Republicans and Democrats that has left the selection of a new executive director up in the air for months. According to the source, there was some thought that Como might use the poll numbers to end the stalemate and get the ten commissioners to agree to select him for the job.
The thinking goes: if Como is executive director of the Board of Elections, then he can't be on the ballot and possibly oust Addabbo this fall, upsetting the delicate (and completely dysfunctional) balance between the two parties in the State Senate.
If that was indeed Como's endgame, it isn't anymore. He is officially (for now, anyway) going to challenge Addabbo in a district that has not been lacking in surprises as of late, going back to Albert Baldeo's nearly shocking upset of longtime Republican State Senator Serphin Maltese, and then Addabbo's victory, which ended Maltese's long run representing the district. (Not to mention the resignation of now-jailed Anthony Seminerio, the former assemblyman who represented the district and was convicted of taking bribes.)
So for now, Anthony Como is back on the scene in Queens politics

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO—Western Michigan University's College of Aviation is the first collegiate program in the nation to be part of an American Eagle Airlines pilot-hiring program that will make new WMU graduates American Eagle employees on loan back to their alma mater as flight instructors.
The Pilot Pipeline Program agreement, announced April 5 during the college's annual Aviation Outlook Day, means that American Airlines affiliate American Eagle will identify potential employees as early as their sophomore year in college and work with them through graduation. Once the new pilots have earned their bachelor's degrees, they will become American Eagle employees with medical and travel benefits while they are on loan to WMU as flight instructors. That will allow them to continue to accrue additional flight hours.
When the new American Eagle employee has reached the flight hours needed to quality for an Airline Transport Pilot rating, the young pilot will step into a new hiring class at American Eagle and begin receiving a $10,000 scholarship paid as a monthly stipend over a two-year period. That young pilot will also be guaranteed an interview with American Airlines.
"We've had a wonderful relationship with WMU over the years and have been extraordinarily pleased with the caliber of the graduates we've hired from its flight program," says Nicholas Alford, American Eagle's manager of pilot recruitment. "This is an important initiative for our company, and we are pleased that WMU will have the opportunity to become the first higher education partner to help fill our pilot pipeline with the best young flight professionals."
The purpose of the program is to provide American Eagle with a steady supply of airline-qualified pilots through specific recruitment, screening, selection, training and placement strategies for pilots to be employed by the airline.
"This is a phenomenal opportunity for aviation students who meet American Eagle's demanding standards," says Steve Jones, executive director of flight operations at WMU's aviation college. "This will allow graduates to continue refining their skills while they provide an important training resource for the college. And in the end, American will have some of the finest young professionals to fill the company's future flight needs."
Once a student is accepted in the program, both the University and American Eagle will monitor their progress and provide mentoring opportunities to ensure they satisfy the requirements of the pipeline program. The student selected must meet the same standards as other American Eagle pilot applicants, and they must earn their commercial, instrument and multi-engine flight ratings at WMU.
Eligible students will have at least sophomore status and have a 2.5 cumulative GPA and a 3.0 GPA in their major, and they must be enrolled in WMU's professional aviation pilot program. Once selected, both WMU and American Eagle will monitor their attendance records, traffic violations, FAA actions, flight training records and any criminal records. Additional requirements for students must be met at each stage of the pipleline program.
American Eagle
Operating more than 1,800 flights a day to 159 cities across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, the American Eagle network is the largest regional airline system in the world. American Eagle operates from four hubs at Chicago O'Hare, Dallas/Fort Worth, Miami and New York (at both Kennedy and LaGuardia airports).

Resort season is always a bit of a drag for me; overly-frivolous (yes I see the haute-couture irony) and just another season to get my head around, the jump from cashmere coats to cruise is always too much. Karl Lagerfeld's show for Chanel was proving nauseatingly frilly and I would challenge any British man not to feel melancholic at the sight of a male model in pink tie-dye. That was until Brad Koenig swaggered down the runway wearing that Chanel jumper. You may think that referring to a item as that only three days after it made its debut might be slightly forward but it's cashmere, a jumper, Chanel and now on Brandish's WISHLIST. Need I say more?
Lookout for more coverage of male resort looks this week on Brandish.
