No television program has influenced the world as much as Star Trek has or has established as strong of a fan base. Between the original series, The Next Generation, and the other spin-offs, Star Trek has created a complete universe in which fans have immersed themselves for decades.
We know all about the Federation, the Klingons, the Vulcans, the captains, and the nastiness of phaser deaths. So here we are, 40 long years after Star Trek's debut, still watching the reruns and DVD releases, keeping up on what the next feature film will be about, and waiting eagerly to see what the newly CGI-enhanced original series is going to look like. William Shatner is as active as ever, not only starring in Boston Legal, but also being roasted on Comedy Central, appearing in commercials ...
All you space geeks out there have been given a few more months to get your Starfleet Academy uniforms pressed, Vulcan ears reshaped, and tribbles fluffed.
Paramount Studios has delayed the release date of the feature film Star Trek from Christmas of this year to May 8, 2009, according to Variety. If the studio is to be believed, the move was purely financial. Paramount believes the flick will perform better as a summer blockbuster rather than a holiday diversion.
The movie is being entrusted to producer extraordinaire J.J. Abrams (Cloverfield, Lost, Alias), who will direct. An adaptation of the original series of the venerable science-fiction franchise, Star Trek follows Captain Kirk through his younger days as a Starfleet Academy greenhorn.
The cast includes Chris Pine as Kirk, Heroes' Zachary Quinto as Spock, Simon Pegg as Scotty, and John Cho as Sulu. For more on the movie, including the recently ...Read more
Star Trek is being revved up for another big-screen treatment, slated to appear in 2008. According to Variety, the new film will be directed by Lost creator and Mission: Impossible III director J.J. Abrams.
The new film will focus on the origins of the characters James T. Kirk and Spock, made famous in the original series and films by William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, respectively. The script will be written by Abrams and MI3 writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
The film will feature the first meeting between the two characters, when they are cadets at Starfleet Academy, as a futuristic version of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" plays on the soundtrack. The cadets embark on their first adventure together, a space mission wherein Kirk does his first sideways jump-kick. Presumably, younger actors will be cast in the ...Read more
James Doohan, who played the crusty engineer Montgomery "Scotty"
Scott on the original Star Trek series, died Wednesday at his
Redmond, Washington, home. He was 85.
Doohan, a Canadian, affected a Scottish brogue for his character, the stalwart ship's engineer who often pulled the U.S.S. Enterprise out of danger at the last possible second after complaining, "I've given her all she's got!" Doohan became a fixture on the touring "Star Trek" circuit, where he appeared at countless conventions and speaking engagements. Eventually, he contracted Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and had to give up touring in 2004.
Star Trek premiered in 1966 and ran for two and a half seasons. After the show was canceled, its fan base grew, and the series eventually spawned two movie series and four TV spin-offs, including Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek ...Read more
The last episode of Star Trek: Enterprise is beaming down to viewers. After five incarnations, there are no plans for a new installment in the franchise.
Enterprise suffered from low ratings ever since it's premiere in 2001. Unlike previous incarnations, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which took place long after the original series, Star Trek: Enterprise told the story of Starfleet before the Federation of Planets and before the events of the original series.
Signs of "franchise fatigue" have been showing for a while, since the last big- screen Star Trek film, Star Trek: Nemesis, performed disappointingly at the box- office.
Some are saying Star Trek is dead. Others are saying it just needs a rest. Trek creator Eugene W. Roddenberry once said, "Star Trek will never die. It's a cash cow for Paramount."Read more
The latest in the sci-fi franchise is set for a May 8 release but work is already under way on the next chapter.
Movie magazine Variety reports that director JJ Abrams has again been asked by Paramount to head up the production.
The script will be written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof.
Lindelof told Variety: "There's obviously a lot of hubris involved in signing on to write a sequel of a movie that hasn't even come out yet.
"But we were so excited about the first one that we wanted to proceed."
Details of the plot of the next film have not been finalised, but Kurtzman, said: "Obviously we discussed ideas, but we are waiting to see how audiences respond next month.
"With a franchise rebirth, the first movie has to be about origin. But with a second, you ...Read more
Star Trek has lived long and prospered, and it will continue to do so, if these guys have anything to say about it.
CBS Paramount Domestic Television is digitally remastering episodes of the iconic 1960s sci-fi series for broadcast syndication, with all-new special effects and music, to celebrate the groundbreaking series' 40th anniversary, which occured September 8. CBS TV president John Nogawski and Star Trek visual effects supervisors Dave Rossi and Michael Okuda spoke in a conference call discussing Star Trek's 21st-century makeover.
All involved said they wanted to stay true to the original series.
"The purpose of this [effects update] is to...not change the story and not change the plot, because we are all so passionate about the way it exists," said David Rossi. "What we're really trying to do here is just enhance the experience of watching Star Trek that people can have."
Much talk ...Read more
Sci Fi Channel has acquired rerun rights to Star Trek: Enterprise along with several other series, made-for-TV movies, and miniseries.
Its deal with CBS Paramount Domestic Television also includes a renewal of exclusive cable rights to the classic series The Twilight Zone; the TV show Tales From the Darkside; and such short-lived series as CBS's Threshold, starring Carla Gugino, and Wolf Lake, with Lou Diamond Phillips, as well as UPN's Jake 2.0, starring Christopher Gorham, and Haunted, featuring Matthew Fox. Other acquired titles include the series Kindred, the Embraced, Level 9, Special Unit 2 and All Souls.
Sci Fi said it's planning to premiere Enterprise, a Star Trek prequel that stars Scott Bakula and ran from 2001-05 on UPN, in early fall. Tales From the Darkside will premiere later this year, and the other acquired series will debut sometime during the 2006-07 season.

Paul Chambers
This LP has material from 1961 that for no real reason went unreleased until 1985. One song, "Three Coins in a Fountain," is from the same session that resulted in tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley's famous Workout session with guitarist Grant Green, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones. The other five numbers -- three obscure Mobley originals, plus "I Should Care" and "Hello Young Lovers" -- are from the previously unheard December 5, 1961 session with the same personnel except for Green. Hank Mobley was in a prime period around this time, and all of his Blue Note recordings are well worth picking up. ~ Scott Yanow

In May 2010 we met Sherry Ellis when she was featured during a Surprise Party. I wanted to highlight Sherry once again to celebrate her birthday. Since the interview, her second book, That Mama is a Grouch, has become available. That Mama is a Grouch begins with Mom tripping over a big mess of toys in the living room. She confronts her daughter about the situation and her daughter declares she is a grouch! The torment continues when the daughter makes a mess in the kitchen, plays music too loudly, and puts handprints on the wall. The book concludes with "The Grouch" and her daughter discussing a few rules to keep the house a happier place. This is a great book that will allow parents to discuss with their children appropriate behavior within the home and how some choices can cause frustration and stress with their parents.
Sherry was recently interviewed on BlogTalk Radio on July 24, 2010. This is a great interview, however you need to be patient as there is about 10 minutes of music before the interview. In the interview, Sherry discusses how both of her books came to be published, her latest music and book endeavors, and local Pajama Party Story Times she organizes to promote her books! Watch for additional updates on her website www.sherryellisbooks.com or on Facebook.
Thank you to Sherry Ellis for providing a copy of That Mama is a Grouch. The winner was Tomi and she is a Google Friend Connect follower. Thanks to all those who entered.
Below is the original interview from May 2010 on Happy Birthday Author:
Happy Birthday Author: What is the story behind That Baby Woke Me Up, AGAIN?
Sherry Ellis: My kids were terrible sleepers when they were babies. For the first two years of their lives, I got no more than four hours of sleep a night. Many nights I didn't sleep at all. Believe me, I tried every method out there to get them to sleep. Nothing worked. One night, at about three o-clock in the morning, I was sitting in the rocking chair with my son. A poem started going through my head. It was the beginning of That Baby Woke Me Up, AGAIN! Every time he woke me up, I'd add a little more to the story in my head. After about a week, I had the whole thing composed. I wrote it down to share with my daughter. She thought it was funny. It was she who suggested that I get it published. Thus began my career as an author.
Happy Birthday Author: Can you describe the feeling you had when you saw your book published?
Sherry Ellis: It was exciting to hold the first copy of my book, and see the story come to life through the illustrations. I think that gave me the desire to keep writing.
Happy Birthday Author: I noticed you have a blog, Mama Diaries, Do you have plans for this blog?
Sherry Ellis: My blog, Mama Diaries, is a daily account of some of the funny things my kids do, and some of the memorable things that happen in my life. It's a way for readers to learn a little about me and connect if they wish to do so. It also serves as something to help me remember things about my kids long after the season of childhood has passed. As far as plans for my blog – I really don't have any intention of publishing it as a book. If I do, it would just be something to share with my kids when they got older. If anything, it could be a source of inspiration for future stories. I've already had a reader suggest a story based on one of my posts.
Happy Birthday Author: In addition to That Baby Woke Me Up, AGAIN!, I noticed you have another book, That Mama is a Grouch. Could you talk a little about this book?
Sherry Ellis: That Mama is a Grouch was also inspired by an experience I had about five years ago. I was in my sleep-deprived state hauling a basket of laundry though the family room. I tripped on one of my daughter's toys. Laundry went flying and I ended up whacking my foot against the side of the sofa. The result was a broken toe and one very grouchy mama! I imagine that toy-strewn houses are quite common, so I decided to write a book about it. It's a funny story that appeals to both kids and adults. My hope is that kids will find inspiration to clean up their messes so that parents will have fewer grouch attacks!
Happy Birthday Author: What are your plans for the future as an author?
Sherry Ellis: As far as future plans, I am working on quite a few projects. I have written several manuscripts for picture books. I have also started working on a series of chapter books for young readers that are similar in style to Mary Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House Series. These books are going to incorporate a little history, a little culture, and a little adventure into the stories. Another neat project I have started, is writing music for Tom and Tess Hannah's poetry in their book, The Endless String. Perhaps there is a children's CD in the future as well!
Happy Birthday Author: That is very interesting about writing music for Tom and Tess Hannah. I just celebrated a Surprise Party for them last week. What are the chances of that!
Happy Birthday Author: What routines of reading did you have for your children?
Sherry Ellis: Fostering a love of books with my children is very important in my house. We have a bed time ritual where I read one or two stories (or chapters to my older daughter). Then we make up our own. I start and idea and then ask my children to add to it. It only takes about five or ten minutes, but it's so much fun! My kids look forward to it every night.
Happy Birthday Author: I love the idea of having them finish a story you started. I am going to have to try that with my children.
Happy Birthday Author: When is your birthday?
Sherry Ellis: August 1
Happy Birthday Author: Do you have a favorite a birthday memory or tradition?
Sherry Ellis: My mom was a fabulous baker and cook. Every birthday she would bake a delicious cake, and I would get to choose what I wanted for dinner. Almost every time, I would choose her Hungarian Chicken Paprikas. I looked forward to it every year.
Happy Birthday Author: Any additional information that you think the readers of my blog would like to know? Advice for new moms?
Sherry Ellis: Enjoy each season of motherhood as much as you can. I know the sleep deprivation, dirty diapers, and messy rooms can be a drag – I've been there! Just try to remember that the film of childhood plays only once. Be there for your kids and have fun!

Snowmobiler Caleb Moore was declared brain dead Thursday morning, according to a press release from the Pitkin County coroner in Colorado. The cause of death is pending autopsy results.
According to the coroner's press release, "Physiological support was provided throughout the day until organ donations could be completed." He died at 9:30 a.m. mountain time.
Deputy coroner Eric Hansen ruled the death accidental.
REMEMBRANCE: Moore's friends say he had a big heart
Moore's family announced Thursday morning that the 25-year-old Krum, Texas, native had died as a result of a crash Jan. 24 in the X Games in Aspen, Colo.
Competing in the snowmobile freestyle final that night, Moore under-rotated on a backflip on the last jump of his run. The skis of his snowmobile planted into the landing ramp, throwing him off and causing him to slide down the hill.
His 450-pound snowmobile flipped twice before the skis landed directly on him. He walked off the course, was diagnosed with a concussion and taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation.
While there, bleeding was discovered on his heart. He was airlifted to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, where he was diagnosed with a heart contusion and had emergency surgery on Jan. 25.
On Sunday, a spokeswoman for the Moore family announced that he had suffered a "brain complication." He remained in critical condition in the intensive care unit until his death.
RELATED: Masekela reflects on Moore's death, ESPN's response
Moore's death is the first in an X Games competition since they started in 1997. ESPN, which owns the X Games, announced Thursday that it would conduct a full safety review and make any appropriate changes it finds as a result.
A Give Forward fund has been set up to help cover Moore's medical expenses and had raised nearly $50,000 by early Saturday morning. Australian snowmobiler Jackson Strong, who is also sponsored by Rockstar Energy Drink, is auctioning the 2012 Polaris that he competed with in the X Games in honor of Moore. That eBay auction stood at more than $10,000 on Saturday.
Rockstar and the Athlete Recovery Fund are working to cover medical and funeral costs for the Moore family. The ARF provides financial assistance to injured BMX, freestyle moto and skate athletes.

This university or college application timeline is a general guideline for international students applying to universities or colleges in Canada. Each university and college sets its own deadlines for international student submission of applications and supporting documents.
If you are applying for a program that starts in September, you will want to begin in about April of the year before your program starts. That's about 12 - 18 months of preparation and planning time.
For example, for a Canadian university or college program beginning September 2010:
April - June, 2009:
Start researching institutions
Based on what you want to study and where, pick 5-7 universities or colleges and evaluate them according to what's important to you in terms of courses, location, size, cost, etc.
Start researching financial assistance
Scholarships for international students are competitive, so start looking for (and applying to if necessary) possible scholarships or other funding early.
July-August, 2009:
Contact the universities
Pick your top 4- 6 universities or colleges and contact their admissions offices to request information, international student application packages, financial aid forms, and to make sure you know exactly what they need from you to apply.
Plan your tests
Most universities and colleges in Canada will require international students to submit scores from standardized language tests. Once you know which tests each university accepts, get the inormation you need to register to write the tests.
August - October, 2009:
Fill out your university applications
Fill out, carefully and thoughtfully, all of the required application forms. Get someone to look them over, since you don't want to submit an application with errors!
Start gathering the required supporting documents
Universities and colleges in Canada will usually require official transcripts, in translation if necessary, from the last educational institution you attended (or are currently attending), as well as reference letters, proof of citizenship and possibly other documentation. There is usually a deadline for the submission of these documents, so begin getting them together early.
Plan to pay your application fee
Universities and colleges in Canada require international applicants to pay an application fee from anywhere between $50 and $100. Find out what methods of payment the schools accept and make the necessary arrangements to have the money accessible.
October, 2009 - January, 2010:
Submit your university applications
Each university or college sets its own application deadlines, and there are usually special deadlines for international student applications. Make sure you leave time for your application to get to the Canadian university or college by the deadline. Application deadlines generally vary from between January 1 to May 1 for programs that begin in September. Be sure to double check.
March - May, 2010:
Most universities and colleges in Canada will notify you of your acceptance a month or two after the application deadline. You may want to wait until you receive notification from all your choices before accepting an offer of admission. Once you make your decision, you will write a letter of acceptance to the university or college you have chosen to attend, and should write to any other universities or colleges that have offered you admission telling them you cannot accept.
After this, depending on the speed of your correspondence with the university or college, the institution will send you the appropriate forms that will allow you to start the process of obtaining your visa and making your travel arrangements to come to Canada.

Nine-time Grammy winner Wynton Marsalis performs at Loyola
September 14, 2012
The Presidential Centennial Guest Series at Loyola University New Orleans will continue next month with New Orleans native and nine-time Grammy Award winner, Wynton Marsalis, on Monday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. in Louis J. Roussel Performance Hall, located in the Communications/Music Complex, on Loyola's main campus.
Marsalis is a preeminent musician, composer, bandleader, educator and a leading advocate of American culture. Through his prolific and influential range of music, he has expanded the vocabulary of jazz and created a vital body of work that places him among the world's finest musicians and composers. In addition to being a Grammy winner, Marsalis was also awarded a Pulitzer Prize for music and a National Medal of Arts, which is the highest award given to artists by the United States government.
Tickets for the event are $75 for preferred seating with a post-performance artist's reception, $40 for preferred seating, $25 for reserved seating, $15 for Loyola faculty and staff, and $10 for Loyola students.

The son of celebrated jazz patriarch and Loyola alumnus Ellis Marsalis, M.M.E. '86, H '07, Marsalis is the world's first jazz artist to perform and compose across the full jazz spectrum, from its New Orleans roots to bebop to modern jazz. In 1987, he co-founded, and became artistic director for Jazz at Lincoln Center and music director for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Under his leadership, the center has developed an international agenda, presenting rich and diverse programming that includes concerts, debates, film forums, dances, television and radio broadcasts and educational activities.
Loyola is celebrating its centennial throughout the 2012-13 academic year with a host of centennial-based activities and special guest speakers. The Presidential Centennial Guest Series was developed by Loyola President Kevin Wm. Wildes, S.J., Ph.D., and well-known political power couple and New Orleans residents, Mary Matalin and James Carville. The series will provide an array of cultural, artistic, Catholic and intellectual perspectives. Each will supplement Loyola's mission of providing outstanding holistic Jesuit education and serving the New Orleans community.

A 20-year-old Bethlehem man who authorities say is a serial rapist who targeted young women and girls he met on Facebook was charged Thursday in a fifth case.
A 20-year-old Bethlehem man who authorities say is a serial rapist who targeted young women and girls he met on Facebook was charged Thursday in a fifth case.
At a hearing Thursday before District Judge Joseph Barner, David Martinez appeared by video from Northampton County Prison. Martinez said little beyond, "Yes, sir," and "No, sir," to Barner's questions, though he asked Barner to explain the process if he should hire a private attorney.
Barner set bail in the latest set of charges at $100,000; bringing the total amount of bail to $825,000 in five rape and attempted rape cases.
The victim reported the incident to authorities two days after Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli made a public appeal for possible victims to come forward.
The 17-year-old girl, who had gone to St. Luke's University Hospital in Bethlehem Township, told city police Detective Moses Miller that Martinez had raped her last month.
The girl told police she received a Facebook friend request from Martinez in December, when he commented on her photographs she had posted on the social media site, and she exchanged phone numbers with him. They began texting each other and finally met for the first time Jan. 3 in Freemansburg.
The girl said the rape occurred after he picked her up at her home in a work van that he parked down the street. They got into an argument and she got out of the van and began walking home.
The arraignment comes the day after Martinez was arraigned on two other rape cases in Bethlehem where both teenage victims were pregnant and fought him to save their unborn children, according to court records. Two weeks ago, Martinez was charged in two other city rapes.

Debbie Croft: Nonprofit discusses Rim fire ramifications
Editor's Note: This is the first of a two-part series.
Close to 100 people attended the Yosemite Gateway Partners meeting at Yosemite Lodge this week. They represented state, county and federal agencies, private businesses, non-profit groups and the media. And a few came just because they love Yosemite.
Yosemite Gateway Partners is a non-profit organization formed almost 15 years ago. The group brings Yosemite National Park and its surrounding communities together in a mutually beneficial working relationship to address the important issues affecting the region.
This quarterly meeting addressed how the Rim fire affected the communities and the park economically, environmentally and culturally.
A little over 250,000 million acres burned during the fire last August and September. The natural disaster involved Yosemite National Park, Stanislaus National Forest and Tuolumne County directly. Neighboring counties were also affected to some degree.
Business virtually shut down for touring companies, putting many local residents out of work. One cafe owner along Highway 120 had to lay off 12 of his 15 employees during the Rim fire. More area hotels, restaurants and businesses would have suffered, too, except for firefighters needing food and lodging.
Rob Griffith, who is with the Stanislaus National Forest, said his agency now has the job of removing dead trees from burned areas near roads, trailheads, recreation sites and other public areas.
Analysis in the works
An environmental analysis is being conducted to determine whether the timber can somehow be used as a commodity. If salvaged timber can be used commercially, money received will go toward recovery and restoration efforts.
Griffith also said that an environmental review process is being followed, because the Forest service wants to protect what vegetation and wildlife is left.
"Some wildlife use black, dead trees for their habitat, but not all," he said.
As for reforestation, Griffith is not sure yet when trees will be replanted. The Forest Service is looking at areas where trees will naturally replant themselves and where reforestation efforts will work best.
According to Chris Graham, a hydrologist with Hetch Hetchy Water and Power, there wasn't much burn area within the upcountry watersheds. Low forest densities and limited fuels exist near Hetch Hetchy, Lake Eleanor and Cherry Lake. Only a few spot fires needed to be contained in the granite-dominated basin.
"Water sampling and monitoring have shown no fire impacts on water quality, compared to samples taken just a week before the fire," Graham said.
Water lines damaged
In addition, there was no damage to the water delivery system, but distribution lines were damaged in four areas. Some loss of communications occurred, and multiple non-critical structures (such as storage sheds) were destroyed
Caltrans Maintenance Manager Rick McComb oversees the eight counties within District 10.
During the Rim fire, Caltrans was called out by California Highway Patrol to keep roads open and provide access for evacuation. Only a few days after the fire started, it became obvious that a bigger Caltrans mobilization was needed. Other counties were called, including 50 Caltrans specialists.
McComb described some of the recovery restoration efforts that have already been implemented.
Supplies were hauled into the Groveland station, along with 40 pieces of equipment. Wood guardrail posts had burned and needed replacement, so guardrails could be reattached. Caltrans erected new highway signs, removed hazard trees, provided traffic control for road closures, hauled off associated waste, plus much more.
Fortunately very little asphalt on Highway 120 was damaged.
"Working with the Forest Service, $400,000 of hydra-seeding was placed in areas below roads to protect the roads and stabilize land surrounding the roadway," McComb said. "Germination is already starting."
"As the third-largest fire in California's history, we will see a huge, huge impact from this for a long time to come," he added.
Yosemite Gateway Partners meets quarterly, and the public is invited. To learn more about the group, visit www.yosemitegatewaypartners.org or call (209) 962-4917.

My previous role at Microsoft was in the SQL Server team. I spent quite a bit of time there, and had some really great experiences. I was able to travel and speak as well as doing my "regular" job in the programming team, so I got to meet a lot of people. I also teach at the University of Washington, and see a lot of companies and students in that role. Last year I moved into the Windows and SQL Azure team, and from all of those sets of experiences I am now getting the same question quite frequently:
"What should I learn next in my technical career? Cloud Computing? Azure, something else?"
Well, I don't think it's a great idea to leave something that you know well to start out in a new area, just for the sake of change. If you enjoy what you're doing and where you're doing it, the key there is to enhance that value as much as you can. If, however, you are looking to stay on the cutting edge, or you're looking to make a change for other reasons, there are a few places that I'm finding are evolving quickly. I've also found that in a new market, be a generalist, in a mature one, be a specialist. It's all about supply and demand, so whatever is needed, try to fill that role.
Note that these are my observations. My particular set of customers and students stretch across the US and into Europe, so I don't have as much visibility into the Asia region. You may find that your area has a different emphasis, so your mileage may vary. These are the areas that I am finding that have a growing interest, and places where I see people getting new jobs. Most of these are within companies, but that doesn't mean you can't use these skills as a self-employed consultant.
Just like the "junk drawer" we all have in our kitchens at home, the data we store on our systems is often out-of-sight, out-of-mind in both IT and in a company. But with the latest high-profile break-ins, hacks, leaks and just plain thefts companies are starting to realize that a security breach hits the bottom line, in their reputation, and in their ability to attract and retain customers. So your next move - before you consider Windows Azure or anything else - should be security.
Am I suggesting that you leave your current role and become a general security specialist? Well, you could do that, but you would actually raise your profile significantly right in your current role if you become an expert in hardening the areas you are responsible for. Make sure that management and the rest of your team know that you're the "go-to" person for security in your area. You're not only helping your career, you're helping your company and you're helping my data - and yours - stay private.
Many companies are afraid to trust the cloud, often because of security. So they take an interim step of using Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), often on-site and controlled by the IT department, which is a "private cloud". In all aspects of computing, this has an impact. While the service model (how things are deployed automatically) comes later, you first have to be familiar with virtualization. So take time after you learn about security and find out how virtualization works, how each vendor implements it, and how it impacts your area.
Cloud Computing Technologies
It's everywhere. Open any technical magazine or navigate to any IT website and you'll see the cloud mentioned. Your company is hearing it, so you need to learn it. I recommend understanding the difference between IaaS, PaaS and SaaS, and of course learning Windows Azure. I have a full learning plan here that will get you started. Again, it's not something that will necessarily replace what you have today - but it should certainly be an option for your computing paradigms going forward.
Departmental Application Development
Wait - am I talking about something like <gasp> Microsoft Access programming? Why yes, I am. But not necessarily Access. Let me explain.
Because of the cloud, savvy technical business folks can "go around" IT with a simple credit-card. When they need to author a simple application to do what they need to do and share it amongst themselves, they may just do that without you. And they might use Access, or any number of other technologies. I've been seeing this quite a lot lately.
So why not help them? Hold some classes in proper, secure lightweight application design. I recommend Lightswitch, personally - it was designed for this very purpose. Or any programming language that you're comfortable with. Just show them the right way to either write the code themselves, or the right way to engage you to do it.

Louis L'Amour born
Louis L'Amour, the prolific author of scores of bestselling western novels, is born in Jamestown, North Dakota.
An indifferent student, L'Amour dropped out of high school at age 15. Over the next two decades, he traveled around the world working in an amazing variety of jobs. At various times, he tried his hand at being a cowboy, seaman, longshoreman, prizefighter, miner, and fruit picker. During World War II, L'Amour served time in Europe as an officer in the tanks corps.
After returning from the war, L'Amour began writing short stories and novels. His spare, flinty style caught the eyes of several editors, and L'Amour began to make a living as a writer. His big break came when a novel he wrote at the age of 46 became the basis for the popular John Wayne movie Hondo. Although L'Amour had not set out to become a writer of Westerns, he began producing more of what readers and editors clearly wanted. He wrote several other screenplay/novels, including the epic 1962 movie, How the West Was Won. By the mid-1970s, he had written 62 books, most of them Westerns.
L'Amour's best-loved novels feature three pioneering families: the Sacketts, the Chantrys, and the Talons. L'Amour produced convincing and moving historical novels that spanned centuries and celebrated the strength and spirit of the American West. Most of his books also feature rough-hewn but intelligent men. "When you open a rough, hard country," L'Amour once said, "you don't open it with a lot of pantywaists." In the tradition of classic Westerns like Owen Wister's The Virginian, women primarily serve as love interests in need of protection.
Using extensive historical research to ensure authenticity, L'Amour avoided many of the simplistic cliches and racist stereotypes of earlier Westerns. Although he occasionally cast Indians as villains, he also offered sympathetic portraits that reflected an understanding and sympathy for different cultures and history.
Although he had written 108 books by the time he died in 1988, L'Amour considered himself a serious author and blamed the lack of critical respect on the fact that his books were Westerns. Still, having sold more than 225 million copies of his novels, L'Amour was one of the most popular and influential western authors of the 20th century. In recognition of his vivid depictions of America's past, Congress awarded him the Congressional Gold Medal in 1983.

Stargate SG-1's first season doesn't tend to have the greatest reputation - along with the first seasons of any number of genre shows - but along with several undoubted clunkers, it also threw out a few classics, and I think this is one of them. Not only does it feature a planet that resembles neither Egypt nor Canada (the dramatic medieval-looking castle on a cliff by the sea is rather fab-looking) but it is probably SG-1's most romantic episode. SG-1 produced several romantic episodes over the course of ten years, most of them tragic, but few could match this story, in which Daniel discovers that a man called Ernest went through the Stargate and never came back fifty years previously, and reunites him with his long-lost finacee Kathryn, who owns the Stargate and who kick-started the programme.
When I grew up watching Star Trek, it used, from time to time, to produce episodes in which our heroes were flung to the far sides of the galaxy by some super-powered alien thing or negative space wedgie and someone would dramatically state how far away they were and explain that it would take decades (more rarely centuries) to return home. Of course, by the end of the episode, they were all safely back in the Alpha Quadrant (TNG's 'Q Who' is probably the best, in which Starfleet are introduced to the Borg). Like Voyager and Farscape, this episode highlights what might happen if our heroes didn't make it back by the end of the episode, but unlike those shows, in which the overall arc required that they get home at some point (even if they don't stay) Ernest, in this episode, is actually stranded for five full decades. Also unlike those shows, there is no possibility of Ernest travelling for a long time until he gets home - he is literally stuck and has to wait for rescue.
Unusually for Stargate, the classical references in this episode are not literal - Latin being used as a language, the ancient gods turning out to be aliens - but metaphorical. There are a few references to various things that, in the world of Stargate, are literally true, including Ra being in Heliopolis and Thor being an alien, but the primary ancient reference is that of the title, which is from a well known Greek myth. Tantalus was once a favourite of the gods and used to dine with them, but he committed a terrible crime (which varies from source to source, but usually it's giving mortals nectar and ambrosia, the food and drink of the gods, generally revealing the gods' secrets to mortals, or serving the gods his own son as dinner to see if they tasted the difference) and was sent to the Underworld for eternal punishment. The punishment itself also varies, but it is always along the same theme, of something being just out of reach. The most common versions are that he is standing in a pool of water that drains away when he tries to drink, or standing just beneath a bunch of fruit that is just out of reach (in the Odyssey, Homer gives him both).
Ernest got stuck the wrong side of the Stargate because he was reaching for something that was just out of reach, and has come to regret it. He tells this myth (pool of water version) to Kathryn as he explains how much he wishes he hadn't come. Meanwhile, Daniel has become fascinated by an alien version of the Rosetta Stone which he is trying to interpret - an inscription in several langauges (including Norse runes) with a central version in a language made up of diagrams of elements of the periodic table (used as a universal language, which kinda makes sense... I think). But, of course, our heroes have arrived on the very day that a castle that has stood for millennia is about to come crashing down into the sea. So Daniel has to leave, to save his own life. He wants to take the risk and stay, but Ernest persuades him that he shouldn't throw his life away on something that will probably remain forever out of reach. The title could also refer, of course, to Ernest's position, stuck just the other side of the Stargate for fifty years, unable to get through.
It's nice to see SG-1 using myths as metaphor for a change. Of course, any show set in any time period on Earth can do that, and SG-1 usually has more exciting things in mind for its mythical characters (seeing them in the flesh, for one thing). That's the nature of the show and there's nothing wrong with that. But one of the reasons people value mythic stories is for their potential for interesting metaphors - a simple, familiar story can resonate more and have a greater emotional effect on people than something long and complicated, or entirely unfamiliar. Myth in science fiction doesn't always have to be aliens and pyramid-shaped spaceships; sometimes, as in any other genre, it can be all about the emotion.
Kathryn and Ernest go home together at the end, of course. Awwwwwww. (Sniff).

|B vitamins in pregnancy not tied to baby's asthma (Reuters)
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Taking folic acid during pregnancy doesn't seem to raise the baby's risk of getting asthma, according to a Dutch study that eases earlier concerns.
In 2009, two research teams reported that folic acid, a B vitamin recommended during pregnancy, might be linked to allergic diseases like asthma or wheezing in the kid.
But expecting moms can breathe easy. According to Dr. Monique Mommers of Maastricht University, the new study did not find "any meaningful association between folic acid supplement use during pregnancy and (allergic diseases) in the offspring."
Getting enough folic acid around the time of conception helps lower the risk of certain birth defects, including spina bifida, a paralyzing malformation of the spine.
Experts advise women to take 400 micrograms of folic acid per day shortly before conceiving and in the first trimester of pregnancy, a critical window of time when neural tube defects take shape.
The Dutch researchers tracked folic acid use among more than 2,600 pregnant women and followed the health of their children for seven years.
Then they tested the kids' lung function and recorded how many developed diseases caused by allergic reactions, including asthma and eczema.
Overall, nearly seven percent of the children developed asthma, regardless of whether their mothers had taken folic acid or not.
The kids' lung function was also similar in the two groups, as was the number of allergic reactions.
According to allergy specialist Dr. Rachel Miller of Columbia University Medical Center, the results "do not suggest any changes in current practices."
Still, Dr. Tsunenobu Tamura, a nutrition expert at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, cautioned that the findings don't prove that folic acid has no side effects. For instance, it's important to monitor long-term outcomes like cancer, he said.
"This type of study should have been done even before the folic acid fortification program was initiated in the United States," he told Reuters Health.

Tennis: Sooners Win Bedlam
"I'm very happy to get the win," OU head coach David Mullins said. "That's the first time this year that we've won the match after losing the doubles. We've been talking about these things a lot and it's nice to get that monkey off our back. They believe now they can win matches like this without the doubles point."
Oklahoma (10-6, 3-2) was swept in doubles play to open up the match. The Sooners fought back and took four matches in singles play to mark OU's first victory after losing the doubles point.
Entering the match Oklahoma's six losses occurred after losing the doubles point and all nine wins came with a victory in doubles.
"They believe now they can win matches like this without the doubles point," Mullins said.
In singles play, No. 79 Hermon Brhane quickly defeated No. 60 Malika Rose at the No. 1 spot, 6-1, 7-5.
Whitney Wofford gave Oklahoma its second point after a victory at the No. 4 position against Maria Alvarez, 6-3, 6-1.
After dropping the first set to Meghan Blevins, 4-6, Whitney Ritchie came back to win, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. Ritchie is currently on a three game win streak in singles.
Emma Devine and Abbi Melrose were defeated on court six and five, respectively, to give the Cowgirls their final two points of the match.
"We had a chance there to sweep (in singles)." Mullins added. "We had match points with Emma and we were in the third set with Abbi. To be in position to win six singles is what I'm most happy about."
The Sooners are back on the road next week to face Iowa State in Ames, Iowa Friday, April 5, at 3 p.m.

Skytap, a provider of cloud-based IT labs, has announced support for Windows 7 application compatibility testing. Using Skytap, customers can launch a virtual sandbox in the cloud to ensure applications run correctly and without conflict before releasing Windows 7 application upgrades.
Compatibility testing can be a headache for development and testing organizations that don't have the spare hardware or testing cycles to set-up dedicated testing environments. This often results in unanticipated bugs and conflicts once a new version of Windows is released. By using the cloud, organizations can conduct early testing to gain insight into potential challenges before an operating system is released.
"One of the many benefits of a cloud-based lab is the ability to quickly spin up multiple operating systems as needed for compatibility testing, and run all the testing in parallel if needed," says Skytap's Scott Roza. "Using the Skytap's cloud hosting platform and lab manager application, developers and testers can collaborate in real time with other team members and also involve customers and business users to validate their software works correctly."
Skytap provides a scalable, on-demand IT lab in the cloud for application development and IT testing. Skytap says it is the only cloud platform that enables IT organizations to utilize their existing MSDN licenses and provides its users with pre-installed Windows 7 templates in a virtual machine library. Using Skytap's cloud-based lab manager, which is delivered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application, development and test teams can eliminate IT provisioning delays and set-up and tear-down test environments in minutes.
Skytap claims it is the first cloud computing platform to offer support for Windows 7. Using Skytap's cloud development and test solution, Microsoft solution partners and enterprise IT organizations can ensure compatibility of applications across multiple versions of Windows. Skytap provides a fast and affordable way to test new and existing applications on Windows 7 before broad rollout within an organization this fall.

Who's the smarter one?
Kabuto - outwits Kakashi in the encounter during the 2nd round of the Chunnin Exams and during the Sound attack.
Shikamaru - acknowledged by Kakashi as good in his strategies...
Temari - the intellectual match in the chunnin exams..
Just wondering... who would be the sharpest kunai among the 3?

kabuto come second i think, or even first, given the fact that he managed to hide his abilities for so long among the jou/chuu/genins and the hokage, that's something special. Not to mention he was holding his own during the fight with tsunade.

First : Shika. He is the brain of the show.
Second : Kabuto. More cunning than Shika, but not as smart overall.
Third : Temari. What intellectual game ? That was Shika's show ! She's got owned from the moment Shika took action, and did exactly what he wanted her to do. She just waved randomly her fan and gladly fell into all his faints, not even thinking he might be smart than he looks until the very end. Against Tatsuya, she even refused to think about a plan with Shika and just outpowered her Intelligence wise, she is nothing extraordinary. I would rate the likes of Neji (once ridden of his superiority complex), Shino and Sakura (she is pretty smart. Remember she managed to clear the first exam without cheating, which is something genins are not supposed to be able to do. She is too emotional pre-timeskip to fully use her analytical abilities though) ahead of her. And I am only talking about the genins here.

He has never been seen establishing a battle plan yet. He is good at mind games, but for me that's all. He has yet to prove his worth as a tactician like Shikamaru did.

Outside of Shikamaru being number one, it's hard to rank intelligence. Kishimoto has gone out of his way to portray Shika as the genius of Naruto.
As for the others. Kabuto vs. Kakashi is very interesting. Kakashi put himself on Shika's level, but recent events don't bare this out. Kabuto proved himself against Tsunade. But he is more of a specialist in his field rather than an all around genius.
Temari would be on the Shino/Asuma level. Kishimoto refers to her as a "female Shikamaru" but to be honest, I don't see it. Their kids will be little geniuses though.
If you could group the most intelligent Naruto characters, I guess it could go like this.
>200 (Unmeasurable genius) Shikamaru
180 - 200 (Highest genius) Kakashi, Kabuto
165 - 179 (High genius) Orochimaru, Itachi, Haku
155 - 164 (Genius) Sakura, Shizune, Tsunade
145 - 154 (Low Genius) Temari, Shino, Asuma, Kurenai
There are certain characters I can't rank because of manga spoilers.
Interesting that Sasuke's stats for intelligence in the databook aren't very high. In fact, he's sort of an idiot and not much better then Naruto. I guess all the brains in the Uchiha clan went to Itachi.
Neji is only around average intelligence. He only looked smart in the Sasuke Retrieval Arc because he was on a team with Kiba, Choji, and Naruto.

Naruto has good brain for strategy though most of them are related to Kage Bunshin. He can be brilliant at times when the situation is dire. In other times, I'll take Konohamaru over Naruto in a heart beat.
Sasuke seems like a specialist when it comes to mixing up ninjutsu and taijutsu. There are plenty of good example of that fact, but the example of Sasuke's special trait can be found in the fight against Orochimaru, in the forest of death. I wonder how scary he will be when he starts mixing up genjutsu with his already formidable skill for taijutsu and ninjutsu.
Shikamaru, without a doubt, is the brain amongst his peer. Shika's skill is very limited compared to Sasuke's, Naruto's, or Neji's. Most of his opponent always have serious advantage over him and yet, he overcame most of those opponent with sheer intelligence and strategy. Shika takes his, otherwise silly, shadow-bind skill to a new height with his brain and opens up the Shadow-bind jutsu to an infinite possibilities. He is, without a doubt, the brain among his peer.. and most likely the brain-child of this series.
Kabuto and Kakashi are just too mysterious to gauge their respective intelligence. That said, Kakashi looked mighty stupid when he fought Zabuza by getting trapped in that water prison, but in their second confrontation, it was Kakashi turn to make Zabuza look stupid. Kabuto had the upper hand when he escaped Kakashi's grasp from the hospital. In that small confrontation, Kabuto thought out 3 steps ahead of Kakashi.
Sakura-chan has got the brain for learning and memorizing. She also demonstrated some flare of intelligence and strategy when she fought against one of the sound nin in the forrest of death.
Lee... well, he is noble. Even the likes of Naruto can create serious problem for this sweet-hearted hero when it comes to using brain.
Neji has serious talent. He is called a "genius" by his clan. His fighting skill is mostly limited to taijutsu, but his taijutsu is special. He also uses good rationale to reach to a conclusion as was seen when he fought Spiderman (Kidomaru). A good brain gives rise to proper rationalizing.

The smartest? I wouldn't say Kabuto...leastwise, he may be smart but he doesn't have much common sense.
I'd say each person has their strengths...Kakashi is a technique genius, Shika is strategy, Tsunade and Kabuto are medicine, Oro is a developmental genius (having created some pretty "out there" stuff)...
In terms general intellegence (aside from possibly the Akatsuki leader, whom we don't really know about), I'd say the smartest person is probably Nara, but that's far from the end of the discussion. *shrugs*

You are throwing number as if IQ is some sort of parking lot sale..
The fact that Kishimot gave Shikamaru a 200 plus IQ was to make it look so big to even believe it was true. If you are going to put other characters IQ, none of them surpasses the 140 Mark, the tactics/strat/smarts you have seen in others are more on Experience, rather than Intelligence.

Trying to gauge the other characters IQ's was only specualtion and opinion. Nothing more. A message board without speculation and opinion would have about three posts. It very unlikely Kakashi has an IQ anywhere between 180 and 200. There is nothing is the series that suggests this. But if the author tells us that Shika has over a 200 IQ, then we hear about how Kakashi has a similar brain, then it stands to reason he should at least be in the ballpark with intelligence. Pure fantasy, but whatever.
In the West we think of genius meaning pure intelligence. Like an Einstein or Stephen Hawkin.

So, in order to make it more realist and parting for the fact that Kurenai was greatly surprise by Shikas IQ level, this means that The IQs in the Naruto universe are a reflection of the real world IQs, meaning the gauge you said, it's a little over-exaggerated for the Shinobies you listed, I mean. Haku, 165– 179? Not in his wildest dream.

Politics & Government
Several Kentucky Tea Party groups seek to defeat McConnell in 2014
FRANKFORT — Many of Kentucky's Tea Party leaders are plotting a strategy to defeat U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell in the 2014 Republican primary, a spokesman for a group calling itself the United Kentucky Tea Party said Tuesday.
Tea Party groups in the state are so dissatisfied with McConnell that "we are working on a battle plan with the ultimate goal to retire him next year," said John T. Kemper III of Lexington, a spokesman for the group.
Kemper's comment came a day after the group, which describes itself as a roundtable of leaders from more than a dozen Tea Party groups in Kentucky, issued a news release warning McConnell that "we will not allow our message or movement to be co-opted for political purposes."
Kemper, a developer who lost a bid for state auditor in 2011 and a bid for Congress in 2010, would not identify any potential opponent for McConnell, the Republican Senate leader, but acknowledged that he is "probably on a short list of folks."
Meanwhile, an out-of-state Super PAC expressed interest in helping "the right candidate" defeat McConnell. Last year, Liberty For All spent almost $700,000 to help elect Republican Thomas Massie to Northern Kentucky's 4th Congressional District seat.
Preston Bates, executive director of Liberty For All, said in an email Tuesday that McConnell is "anything but a tea partier" and is "that special politician who could unite libertarians, independents, anti-war Democrats, everyone" against him.
"Should the right candidate emerge — be they Republican, Democrat, or Independent — Liberty For All will remain committed to electing those dedicated to more civil liberties, more economic freedom, and freeing America from corporate influence," Bates said.
Liberty for All is primarily funded by John Ramsey, a college student from Nacogdoches, Texas, who is armed with an inherited fortune.
McConnell, who has represented Kentucky since 1985, is seeking re-election next year. So far, no one has announced to challenge him. He already has a $7 million campaign war chest and the endorsement of U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Bowling Green, a Tea Party favorite.
In a news release sent by email late Monday, the United Kentucky Tea Party said McConnell and state Republican leaders are being "intellectually dishonest" by calling anyone associated with McConnell's campaign a Tea Party leader.
"The Tea Parties in Kentucky are led by local grassroots individuals, not by any national organization," the statement said. "Any representation otherwise by the Republican Party leadership of Kentucky or Senator McConnell and his surrogates is inconsistent with the truth and will be vigorously and publicly disputed every step of the way."
Kemper said the group was referring to McConnell's campaign manager, Jesse Benton.
Benton led the 2010 general election campaign of Paul, who rode the Tea Party wave to defeat Attorney General Jack Conway in the general election and the McConnell-backed candidacy of then-Secretary of State Trey Grayson in the Republican primary election.
Benton also managed the 2012 presidential bid for Paul's father, former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas. Benton is married to one of Ron Paul's granddaughters.
Asked about the news release, Benton said he has received a "wonderful reception" from grassroots groups as he has travelled the state on behalf of McConnell.
"Leader McConnell is a great friend of the Kentucky Tea Parties and is committed to giving them a seat at the table and bringing their voices to Washington," Benton said.
Kemper said he finds it "humorous" that Benton, in his email messages to Republicans across the state about the McConnell campaign, uses the greeting "Dear Patriot."
The latest example of that was last weekend, when Benton sent out an email about President Obama's proposals on gun control.
"Dear Patriot, You and I are literally surrounded," Benton wrote. "The gun grabbers in the Senate are about to launch an all-out assault on the Second Amendment."
Concern about McConnell by several Tea Party members intensified this month after McConnell brokered a fiscal cliff deal that killed planned income tax hikes on most Americans but postponed deep federal spending cuts.
Cathy Flaig, former president of the Northern Kentucky Tea Party, which covers Boone, Kenton, Campbell and Grant counties, said Tuesday her group "willingly signed" the news released issued by the United Kentucky Tea Party.
"Truth be told, most Tea Party members I know in Kentucky are polite to Sen. McConnell but not enthusiastic at all about him," Flaig said. "My question is, what has he done for Kentucky?"
An issue of strong interest in Northern Kentucky, she said, is the building of a new bridge across the Ohio River that will require tolls.
"The federal government can build a bridge in Afghanistan in eight months without tolls. Why not in Northern Kentucky?" she said. "He's Senate minority leader. It seems like he could do something to help Kentucky."
Flaig said she does not know whether the Tea Party will find a candidate next year to run against McConnell.
"I just know he's not as well liked as he thinks he is," she said.
Hans Marsen, state coordinator for the Tea Party Patriots in Elizabethtown, said he's aware that several Tea Party groups in Kentucky have formed the United Tea Party of Kentucky and issued Tuesday's news release.
"The bottom line is that, he can believe it or not, there is not great support for the senator among Tea Party members in Kentucky," Marsen said.
"It would be good to see an alternative to him on the 2014 Republican primary ballot," he said.

He also teaches workshops on "Unleashing the Voice", and plays in ESP-Disk's free-jazz quartet The Naked Future. His paintings offer a visual depiction of said future, where humans, animals, and angels live in naked, bestial harmony. Malaikat Dan Singha (K Records, 2009) is an album that melds all of these influences and more: Arrington's unleashed vocals are sung entirely in Indonesian, and may contain translations of William Blake and the Zohar.
Arrington de Dionyso brings Malaikat Dan Singa on the road with a full band -- Nehemiah on bass, Ruben on drums (trading w/ Germaine), and Arrington on Vox/Guitar/BassClarinet --
engineer: Dave Mambach
