Region tournaments underway for county schools
The Hawks opened postseason play and guaranteed itself three more games on Tuesday. Myrtle is the fifth seeded team in this week's Region 2-1A tournament, but that was not the focus going into its first game against Ashland.
"We looked at it from the standpoint that there are some pretty good teams in this division, and we've beaten some pretty good teams," coach Jonathan Ashley said. "It's all about us, really."
Darius Dukes paced the Blue Devils early on, scoring eight first quarter points, but Myrtle held the two-point advantage after free throws by Robert Montgomery put the Hawks up, 19-17. Montgomery later connected on a three-pointer that extended the Hawks' lead to 10, 39-29, at the break.
"I thought it was a great team effort, but on an individual note, he is a special kid." Ashley said of the junior. "Whatever we need him to do, he does it, and he's made those shots for four years, so we wouldn't expect anything different."
Dukes got Ashland back within single digits in the third, scoring 12 points in the frame, but was held to only five points in the fourth. Ashley credits this to junior Darius King.
"He probably didn't score much, but he stayed under Duke's chin in the second half; cooled him off. His effort, we don't win without him," he said.
Montgomery finished with 25 points to lead Myrtle (17-11), while Keon Hampton added 15 points, Jonathan West 13 points and Cruz Weatherall 12 points.
Dukes led Ashland (10-18) with 33 points.
The Hawks advance to Thursday's division semifinals, playing Coldwater at 5:30 p.m.
Also advancing to Thursday's semifinals is Ingomar, 62-47 winners over West Union.
The Eagles stayed close in the first half, with Drew Wooten tying the game at 10 and Hunter Jennings giving West a brief 14-13 lead.
Ingomar, led by Henry Foster, went up by 10 in the second quarter, and pulled away in the third, with Matt Hale scoring seven of the Falcons' 17 points in the frame.
Hale finished with 17 points to lead Ingomar (16-12), followed by 15 points from Henry Foster and 11 points from Steven Foster.
Chase Taylor led West Union (6-18) with 14 points.
Ingomar will play H.W. Byers at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Myrtle 47 Ingomar 29 (girls)
Myrtle coach Chris Greer credited his team for fighting in its first tournament game against Ingomar. Noting the number of times the two teams have met this season, Greer is happy to see his team advance to Thursday's semifinals.
"Tonight, we just feel like, we've played Ingomar three times, this was the fourth time, so it's tough," he said. "We just have to do a good job of getting back to play Byers, play hard the entire game and see how it turns out."
The Lady Hawks jumped to a quick 11-0 lead with three-pointers by Halle Knowles, Meshay Cox and Kiana Judon. Mallory Adair made it an eight points game, 16-8, later in the first, but Myrtle was too much, led by 19 points from Aspriona Gilbert.
Cox finished with 10 points for Myrtle (26-4), while Kate Webb led Ingomar (9-19) with 12 points.
The Lady Hawks will play H.W. Byers at 7 p.m. on Thursday. The Lady Lions defeated Myrtle, 68-49, earlier this season.
In the other girls' semifinal, West Union's season ended at the hands of Ashland, 82-49.
The Lady Blue Devils opened scoring the first seven points, prompting a quick timeout by West Union. The Lady Eagles came within five, 19-14, but that preceded an 8-0 run by Ashland, and the Lady Eagles were outscored 25-5 in the remainder of the second quarter.
Damertis Anderson led Ashland (9-16) with 27 points, followed by Alontra Tucker with 19 points, Jaliyah Godwin with 12 points and Raquetta Allen with 10 points.
Samantha Bridges led West Union (6-15) with 24 points, while Gracen Conlee added 10 points.
In Region 1-2A action on Tuesday, East Union boys defeated Hatley, 93-26, while the Lady Urchins' season came to an end, falling 53-45 to Hamilton.

Dear Abby: I am a 65-year-old widow and recently started dating a 66-year-old man. I really like him and enjoy his company. However, one thing about him drives me up a wall. He has long fingernails on both hands.
Dear Abby: My 18-year-old daughter, a junior in high school, is still living at home. She has befriended a 51-year-old man at her first job (a burger place).
Dear Abby: Americans are at their best when they unite around a noble purpose. On Memorial Day, that purpose is the National Moment of Remembrance. On that day, all Americans are asked to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m.
Dear Abby: We visit my in-laws two or three times a year. During our most recent visit, my kids (ages 12 and 14) were roughhousing with their cousins and accidentally slammed a door, which resulted in a broken frame.
Dear Abby: My mom lives with me and my hubby. Recently I found out that she walks around at night because she hears noises or is restless - and puts her ear on our bedroom door, too!
I was shocked.
Dear Abby: A co-worker has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She's not sure how long she may have. She is relatively young, so it's tragic. We have excellent insurance from work, national health care and disability insurance.
Dear Abby: My girlfriend and I have been together for three years and have a 1-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, our fights have become more frequent now. She suggested counseling, which I agree with.
Dear Abby: I share a large house with two other women. The homeowner, "Mary," works from a home office during the day. "Sue" is her baby sister. She has two small children and doesn't work. She lives here rent-free thanks to Mary's generosity.
Dear Abby: I recently received a very competitive internship in New York. I'm excited and can't wait to go. I have never been to New York, and my mom is driving me crazy over it.
Dear Abby: I'm a senior (girl) in high school and have been dating a sophomore even though he's less than a year younger than I am. (I'm very young for my grade.) We have a lot in common and I think we both love each other a lot.

Four Questions for Sherman Alexie About His New Picture Book30 Jun 2016 | 12:12 pmSarah MirkAuthor Sherman Alexie. Photo by Lee Towndrow. Sherman Alexie is one of those authors whose work I recommend to literally everyone. Kids, teens, adults, literature snobs, people who read one book a year—everyone's life is made better by reading a little Sherman Alexie. While he's written numerous collections of poetry, novels, and essays that often explore Native American identity and the complicated feelings that come along with growing up, his newest book, Thunder Boy Jr, is a first: his first picture book. The story about a little boy who's annoyed to be named after his dad and wants to seek his own original name is gorgeously illustrated by artist Yuyi Morales. I recently got the...

LGBT Pride Month 2016: Split in Two by Massacre in Orlando30 Jun 2016 | 10:06 am(WOMENSENEWS)— LGBT Pride Month 2016 was split in two halves, "before and after Orlando." Until June 12, events had been rolling along on an upbeat note. Afterwards, the mood and context became more determined. The massacre in a gay nightclub in Florida claimed global attention as the country's worst mass shooting in its modern history and brought simmering political controversies to a boil. Elements in the cauldron were hate crimes, terrorism, Islamophobia, gun control, who is allowed to donate blood and the elevated levels of violence directed against the LGBT community. On June 24 President Barack Obama, after visiting Orlando to deliver a speech in which he demanded Congress take action on gun...
Families Fractured by Immigration Need Reform, Regrouping More Than Ever29 Jun 2016 | 12:08 pm(WOMENSENEWS)—My aunt Rajana called me from Nepal a year and a half ago to tell me my father had passed away unexpectedly and peacefully. My husband and I quickly made arrangements and took a flight from New York's JFK airport the next day to join my mother for the 13-day mourning period in Kathmandu. We were both U.S. permanent residents at the time, so we are among the fortunate immigrants who can leave the U.S. without having to worry about re-entry. We have both since naturalized to become U.S. citizens. But we were not always as lucky.

We've been renovating and improving and falling ever more in love with that house ever since. Despite having one or another absorbing career, over the years I must have touched and worked on every inch of this distinguished space above the basement and below the attic. Recently I mixed the colors and painted the walls and woodwork of my study. I've painted every room, except for three closets which I...
Texas Abortion Clinic Ruling Stirs Huge Online Applause27 Jun 2016 | 12:56 pm(WOMENSENEWS)—Rachel Barnes almost dropped her coffee cup when her husband told her about the Supreme Court's June 27 decision that will effectively keep open reproductive health clinics in Texas that provide abortions. Barnes, 33, a resident of Lost Creek, West Virginia, provided an account of her own abortion in a "friend of the court" briefing filed by Advocates for Youth, a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C. Because of strict regulations in her state, Barnes traveled to Maryland for the procedure, where she felt her choice was respected. Reached by phone, Barnes' voice was shaking with happiness.

How I Learned to Age Gracefully1 Jul 2016 | 5:38 amWhen I was in my early twenties, I longed to have a bit of belly fat so that my belly could look as sexy as that of my best friend. Eventually, it happened and I was ecstatic. Today, I have more belly fat than I had asked for. When I was twenty, I was often the center of attention. Today, I'm no longer the center of attention, but rather watch proudly as twenty-somethings master center-stage much better than I ever did. When I was twenty, I could run up the stairs many times over. Today, whether I go up or down the stairs, my knees remind me that I'm no longer twenty.

U.S. claims drones only killed 116 civilians; experts say it's way more1 Jul 2016 | 4:45 pmA Yemeni man walks past graffiti denouncing U.S. drone strikes, painted on a wall in Sana'a, Yemen on Nov. 13, 2014 (Credit: Reuters/Khaled Abdullah) According to the Obama administration, just 64 to 116 civilians have been killed in its secretive drone program. The U.S. government published a report on Friday, July 1 that claims that the counter-terrorism airstrikes it conducted outside of conventional war zones between January 2009 and the end of 2015 only killed scores of so-called non-combatants. Experts say the number is likely much higher. The report, issued by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, analyzes 473 U.S. strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and Libya, the vast majority of...
Exile in political Guyville: Why getting Hillary Clinton elected isn't "women's work"1 Jul 2016 | 4:00 pmHillary Clinton (Credit: Reuters/Jason Miczek) As the election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump shapes up, we continue to see Clinton and the women who are supporting her exiled (with apologies to Liz Phair) in Guyville. As presumptive nominee Clinton says about this historic election, "This campaign is about making sure there are no ceilings, no limits on any of us and this is our moment to come together." Yet, we are not all coming together. Bernie Sanders has not withdrawn, despite Clinton's securing the delegates to win the nomination. Twenty-two percent of Sanders supporters say they'd rather vote for Trump than Clinton. Male Sanders supporters continue to troll and threaten Clinton...
"Pat the Bunny" is kind of twisted and other lessons I learned from picture books1 Jul 2016 | 4:00 pmSomething happens when you have a baby, and it's not an event that pediatricians or parenting books prepare you for. At some point during the first six months, you begin to internalize the language and lessons of the books you are reading aloud every day. Unless you have undertaken serious religious study, this is probably the first time you will engage in the ritualistic rereading of a small group of texts. The messages may be designed for kids. But they'll change you, too. Take, for instance, a book called "That's Not My Panda." It takes as its premise the possibility that one could have so many pandas that a process of elimination is required to identify which one is yours. Using criteria not...
Britain soldiers on, bakes off: "Great British Baking Show" projects a happier image for fans1 Jul 2016 | 2:31 pmIf you're worrying about the soul of Britain now — ponder how a supposedly civilized country could vote out of xenophobic rage to cut its own throat – this may calm your fears. The United Kingdom may be heading into a nightmare of regret and economic recession, but if you keep your television set to this program instead of the news, all will seem to be well. With "The Great British Baking Show" (known as "The Great British Bake Off" in its home country) one of the most important parts of the nation's experience is made available to us: A dozen bakers assemble in a manor, located in a rural part of Berkshire, to all try their hands making the same dessert for two judges, with a host...
Pro-Clinton super PAC forced to return banned donations as the campaign announces massive June fundraising haul1 Jul 2016 | 1:46 pmHillary Clinton (Credit: AP/Jim Cole/Shutterstock/Salon) After becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee at the close of the final primary polls earlier this month, Hillary Clinton proceeded to rake in the biggest fundraising haul of her campaign thus far.

Listening to Women's Voices: Highlighting Female Reciters in Ramadan28 Jun 2016 | 11:00 pmRamadan is a month when many of us try to spend more time reading the Qur'an, or listening to recitations. I recently spoke to Zahra Khan about her efforts to draw more attention to recitations by women and girls. KR: Can you describe the project? ZK: The FITNA Women Reciters Ramadan Campaign is an online project sharing a daily pick for a video/audio of a woman reciting the Quran or the call to prayer/azaan during Ramadan. The campaign also encourages group members to record themselves reciting and share their media. FITNA stands for the Feminist Islamic Troublemakers of North America. It is a recently formed organization providing a space for feminist Muslims to come together and collaborate on various...
Ramadan Kareem to My Soulmates27 Jun 2016 | 11:00 pmThis post was written by guest contributor Nahida (@haraammermaids). One of my favorite ahadith states the following: the Prophet (SAW) said, "The souls are like an army joined in the world of spirits; whichever souls knew each other [in that world] are attracted towards each other in this world, and whichever remained distant and indifferent there are distant and indifferent here" (al-Bukhari). The carpet in the mosque where the author's family prays. During Ramadan, I feel the draw of this former existence, but never with whom I'm expected. I recently reluctantly changed the gloriously wild masjid I used to attend, with horses and tangled weeds, for one downtown, and the congregation has a...

There will be pictures of Eid celebrations featuring hijabi women wearing their national colors, holding Mexican, Venezuelan and Cuban flags, and making a statement about multiculturalism and diversity in the West. Then, these pictures will be followed by whitewashed stories of Latinx converts, who will talk about the "historical" connection between Latinxs and Muslims through language and such. Of...

When Ideology Trumps Evidence: Abortion Access and Undue Burden24 Jun 2016 | 8:57 amThe current legal standard for evaluating the constitutionality of an abortion law is to examine whether the law in question places an "undue burden" on women. Public health researcher Emily Maistrellis discusses her research showing far too often, courts disregard scientific evidence when determining whether laws restricting abortion place an "undue burden" on women.

In the News1 Jul 2016 | 11:30 amHere is some stuff in the news today...You may remember in March I mentioned that one of the things that had been revealed in Hillary Clinton's State email dump was that a trans woman from Illinois was able to start her own construction business because of the passport rule, and she wrote Clinton a letter about it and Clinton wrote her back personally. Well, there is much more about that story in this Politico article, which is at turns soooo great and so infuriating. And, for the record, Clinton has indeed bragged about that passport rule. Just enough, in my opinion, so that the people who care will know, and the people who would have tried to make trouble for trans people won't. Frankly, if there's...

"True Crime Addict" and the problem of internet sleuths – "…it seems as though we've had one true-crime craze after another packaged and sold to us, with networks and producers itching to find the next Adnan Syed, from "Serial," or Steven Avery, the subject of the Netflix series "Making a Murderer.""

"Gifted" Kids Have Thinner Skulls & Alien Brains….OK30 Jun 2016 | 8:21 amSupport more videos like this at patreon.com/rebecca! Sorta transcript: In Australia, some schools hire third party organizations to run programs for gifted children that help them succeed. If you're not familiar with these sorts of programs, your first thought might be, if they're so gifted, why do they need extra help to succeed? Shouldn't the schools focus on programs that help low-performing students succeed? I don't know. My school had an in-house gifted program and I loved it, because I was a giant nerd, so I'm actually in favor of the programs provided the school is giving all kids the resources necessary to catch up to the "gifted" kids. But I do have a problem with one particular...
Quickies: Bird wings in amber, new helium stash found, and trans women politicians making history30 Jun 2016 | 6:31 am

Two working class trans women politicians make history in congressional primary wins – "For the first time, two trans women will be running for Congress under the auspices of a major political party. Utah's Misty K. Snow and Colorado's Misty Plowright—both Democrats, both trans women—have handily won their primaries, and will face Republican opponents this November." From Alex.

Bird wings trapped in amber are a fossil first from the age of dinosaurs – "Two tiny wings locked in amber 99 million years ago suggest that in the middle of the Cretaceous period — when dinosaurs still walked the planet — bird feathers already looked a lot like they do today."

Why Outlawing Guns on Drones May Be Bad for Science29 Jun 2016 | 7:44 pmSorta transcript: Thanks to the current quick pace of technological advancement, our society is constantly trying to keep our laws relevant to the weird new things humans are constantly trying. One area that I find particularly interesting is with regards to drones. Yes, there are a lot of thorny ethical considerations about using drones in warfare, which is one of the few times that I ever agree with people who are heavily critical of Obama, but there are even more tricky nuances to how we use personal drones. They're getting cheaper and cheaper, and at the same time they're getting more and more fun, which means they're also getting more and more dangerous. Should we regulate them, and if so, how?...
Cross-post: Everybody Calm The Fuck Down About Your Sunscreen29 Jun 2016 | 8:00 amEditor's Note: This post was written by Jenny Splitter and originally published at Grounded Parents. ***** I was hoping this summer would be a quiet one for sunscreen. Yes, the Environmental Working Group published its annual sunscreen guide, but I figured the staggering amount of criticism the EWG receives might finally persuade everyone in the media to ignore it. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Despite the bad press, recent articles in Mother Jones and Parents treat the EWG's warnings as reliable, science-based information even though they're not. So, here's some evidence-based advice in response: Everybody calm the fuck down about your sunscreen! For those who don't know the EWG, they're an...

Book Review: Modern Girls by Jennifer S. Brown4 May 2016 | 4:30 amModern Girls by Jennifer S. Brown is a heart-wrenching read that you won't want to put down. Set in NYC just after World War I in the heart of the Jewish immigrant community, we find Rose and Dottie, mother and daughter, both faced with unplanned pregnancies and their long-awaited careers within their grasp.Full disclosure...Jennifer is a long-time bloggy friend. When she asked if I wanted a copy to review, I jumped at the chance. While I use to read her blog on a regular basis, I was not prepared with her fiction writing to be so gripping. The scene where Rose realizes Dottie is pregnant made me cry on the train. Modern Girls goes beyond two unplanned pregnancies. It is a story that touches on that tension...
Flashback Friday: The Gender Voting Gap by Kartemquin Films29 Apr 2016 | 7:23 pmTo celebrate their 50th anniversary, Kartemquin Films is releasing films to download for free! This week the film is from 1984 and "explores the growing difference in the voting patterns of men and women (the gender gap) that could no longer be denied by the mid-1980's. Issues like compensation equality, environmental preservation, subsidized childcare and healthcare became wedge issues in Ronald Reagan's America as more and more women joined the workforce." It is wonderfully illustrated by Nicole Hollander. At the end of the film there is an update on the issues from 2012. It is pretty sad how much the 1984 film is still relevant in 2016, especially considering Donald Trump's "woman card" comments.You can...
Book Review: The Obsession26 Apr 2016 | 4:30 amCW: The plot of this book deals with sexual assault and emotional abuse. Some graphic depictions of assault.Photo by Viva la FeministaI have to admit that I read the description of this book when it was pitched to me pretty quickly. I am sure I was pulled in by the "heroic young woman moving past tragedy" framing because it did not really dawn on me that I was asked to review a Nora Roberts book. And I didn't even really know who Roberts was, I mean I knew her name, but I didn't have all the parts of the math equation. Then when I got the book I put it off long enough I had to sprint through the book to get it done even close to my deadline. Suffice to say, this review is from someone who didn't realize she...
EVENT: espnW Comes to Chicago15 Apr 2016 | 3:30 pmThe pay gap that the US Women's Soccer team plays under has been an issue for decades. The team went on strike in the 1990s. Even as the team was fighting towards their third World Cup the media covered their wage gap. Now the team is fighting for fair pay. But soccer is not the only sport that shortchanges women players. Equal pay is just one topic that should be discussed at an upcoming event in Chicago on women's sports. The inequity of women athlete salaries is often dismissed to the lack of fans who attend games, thus less sponsorship dollars and on and on. But it trickles down to unequal playing conditions in high school too. Hopefully this gathering of women's sports influencers will craft some sort...

What One Heckler Told Me About Feminism and Action Figures28 Jun 2016 | 11:18 amRecently I gave a talk at Denver Comic Con about the global lack of action figures representing female characters. On my panel were two other scholars, and two real experts: a pair of girls age 8-to-10. My talk kicked off the panel, and was titled "How to Make an Action Figure," which was ultimately meant to suggest that the exclusion of women has become, unfortunately, central to the production of action figures, and that that needs to be acknowledged as much as, if not more than, the types of joints or paints used in the physical manufacture of the toys. (Full disclosure: I co-run Denver Comic Con's literary conference, Page 23, and believe wholeheartedly in the Con's mission to promote...

Unfortunately, stories of the long Russo-Chechen conflict do not permeate into mainstream North American news media as often as they should. We get the broad strokes, accompanied by how our presidents or presidential hopefuls plan to work with Vladimir Putin. We did not hear the story of Anna Politkovskaya, a journalist and human rights activist assassinated for being critical of Putin's atrocities in Chechnya. We did not learn about how she felt, seeing the pits Russian soldiers dug in order to...

The new Ghostbusters action figures are revolutionizing toy store shelves25 May 2016 | 5:05 amGhostbusters: Abby (Melissa McCarthy), Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon), Erin (Kristen Wiig) and Patty (Leslie Jones) in an image from the trailer First off, this is not about the Ghostbusters reboot. It's not out yet. I haven't seen it. All I will say is I'm a little bit obsessed with watching the trailers. I'm rooting for this movie, but I don't know if it'll be "good." However, part of me doesn't really care if it'll be good or not. Part of me says that the movie already is good. Paul Feig's Ghostbusters has done what no other movie – definitely no other movie in recent memory – could do: generate a wave of all-female action figures, tied to a big-budget film, that is widely...

#womenslives: Study: sexual harassment "part of job" for women in tech – @DianaTourjee/ @broadly1 Jul 2016 | 5:30 amPiece by @DianaTourjee on @broadly (emphasis added): A recent report finds that 60 percent of women working in the tech industry in Silicon Valley have experienced sexual harassment. A staggering 90 percent of the women interviewed in the study, which was titled Elephant in the Valley, reportedly "witnessed sexist behavior at company offsites and/or industry conferences." In other cases, the sexism women face was less direct: For instance, 88 percent of respondents said they'd had clients or colleagues direct a question to a male peer when the question should have been directed to them. Women comprise a disproportionately small number of tech jobs, and that number is shrinking. In early 2015, The...
"We are often called sensitive, emotional and non-confrontational" (and that's OK) – @IMKristenBell, medium30 Jun 2016 | 7:30 amOK, no, in this piece, I don't expect you to agree with the ways that we're being asked to think that being a woman and having those feminine† qualities (is that what they're called?) is somehow essentialist and innate (oh come on!) but I DO agree with the idea (obviously I agree with it) that being a woman is not something that should be automatically derided (though it is). So, no, girly smirly, whatever that is anyway (also, girly, really?††), but, yes, womanhood is not a subordinate state. Whatever it is - however it manifests - it is not inferior. † Notable default behaviour: three times I had to type out "feminine" there because my fingers gravitated towards the keys for "feminist" each...
"Explicit norms that organized time 50 years ago are implicit assumptions that run lives today" – Melinda Gates, medium30 Jun 2016 | 5:30 amI've not posted a great deal about #Brexit because I just do not have the stomach for it but, regardless, back to the wimmin. Who would have thunk that the revolting world of inequality, sexism and misogyny, would ever be more palatable that something else? These are ridiculous times indeed. Melinda Gates, laughingly privileged though she is, writes a good piece on medium about the endurance of traditional gender roles and norms and their impact on the gender gap: According to the writer Malcolm Gladwell, 10,000 hours of practice is what it takes to become world class at most things. Part of the reason the Beatles were the Beatles, he says, is that they spent so many hours playing dingy rock clubs...

Booked 10 lessons with the instructor who came up on the system as available for my area. Instructor eventually arrived 20 minutes late, with a flat tyre, and stated that he is unable to teach me as he "lives too far away". This was going to be my first driving lesson, so there were a lot of nerves and waiting around all morning. Feels like a complete waste of a day.

(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) Emc a leading provider of it storage hardware solutions has announced the middle east launch of its new cloud and software-defined storage offerings.
the elastic cloud storage (ecs) appliance or ecsa makes it easier for enterprises to set up a private cloud-computing environment and also use public cloud services where appropriate.
mohammed amin senior vice-president and regional manager for turkey eastern europe africa and middle east at emc said software-defined storage is becoming the architectural backbone that all storage technologies will hang off.
he said such transformational technologies can play a key role in the creation of smart cities a goal that dubai has already initiated.
the advantage of cloud-based it and security are major areas of focus for smart cities going forward giving them the agility and flexibility needed and creating the foundation of trust to protect the data they own he pointed out.
he said the new ecs appliance which redefines the economic benefits of cloud storage for service providers and customers of any size in any industry delivers the ease-of-use and agility of a public cloud with the control and security of a private cloud and offers between nine and 28 per cent lower total cost of ownership in object storage implementations than public clouds from other providers.
emc is targeting two audiences with the ecs appliance — enterprise customers interested in running their own large-scale cloud-like storage deployments and service providers who want to breainto the cloud storage game themselves. for both groups the company claims an economic advantage going with the ecs appliance over a public cloud.
the ecs appliance allows customers to add hyperscale cloud capabilities to existing private and hybrid cloud environments delivering ease-of-use through self-service capabilities fully automated provisioning and data services for next-generation applications according to david goulden chief executive officer of information infrastructure at emc.
the data driven by use of next-generation applications over mobile devices creates multiple challenges for service providers and customers: it should be accessible secure and analytic-ready and the storage infrastructure must be able to handle explosive growth.
"customers who choose to store their data in a public cloud environment often perceive immediate benefits in terms of ease-of-use and ability to scale; however they may incur other risks such as system outages and the costs of moving their data in and out of the public cloud environment. in many instances they can also run into compliance issues as they may not know where their data is stored if or how it is backed up and whether it is being accessed by unauthorised users. the emc ecs appliance provides a solution that eliminates these tradeoffs inherent within the public cloud" said goulden.
emc also announced the acquisition of flash startup dssd who it said had gone under the radar as one of the most exciting new firms in the field.

Keith Johnson, Deseret News
DENVER — The Jazz can be pretty good.
The suggestion is a simple one, not outrageous in any regard or even boastful. Yet some act as if it's a dirty little secret no one wants to openly acknowledge.
Power forward Paul Millsap, for one, wouldn't even admit discussing the notion with his teammates.
But point guard Deron Williams, speaking as the Jazz prepared for tonight's 2009-10 NBA season-opener at Denver, didn't mind.
"Yeah, we do (talk about it). We know. I mean, everybody knows," he said. "You know, we've had the same team for pretty much the last three years. So, we know what we're capable of. We've just got to put it all together."
So just what is it that, if stars align and the rest of their solar system doesn't go wacky, the Jazz ultimately can do?
"We can be good, you know," Williams said. "I think we're one of the best teams in the NBA."
"Man, I think we can be real competitive," shooting guard Ronnie Brewer added. "I mean, if you think about last year, we struggled on the road, we struggled down the stretch, and then you throw in the injury factor — and we still made the playoffs."
Merely advancing to postseason play, however, is a baseline compared to just how far some suspect this season's version of the Jazz can go.
"We didn't lose a lot; we didn't pick up a lot, but everybody is a year stronger, a year more mature, and I think our chemistry is better than what it was last year," Brewer said.
"Right now, even with (injured) C.J. (Miles) and Matt Harpring and Kyle (Korver) out," he added, "I like our chances against any team."
There are caveats, however.
That would include the need, as has been much discussed throughout the preseason, for both much better defense and a much better record than their 15-26 mark on the road last season.
"Those are the two things that cost us last year," Williams said of a 48-34 season.
And then there is that pesky matter of injuries, which had key contributors Williams, Millsap, Carlos Boozer and Andrei Kirilenko, and others, in and out of the lineup last season.
"I think we'll be a very good team if we can stay healthy," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said, adding, "and hopefully not too much turmoil."
"But those things happen, you know? Sickness. If you've got a family, you've got to take care of your family. … That comes first, and we know sometimes those things interfere with what we want to do. But that's the way it is."
Overcoming inevitable adversity — such as they did when advancing to the Western Conference finals in 2007 despite children of Boozer and ex-Jazz guard Derek Fisher facing life-threatening medical matters — will be key.
"Certain things we have no control over. Things are going to happen," Millsap said. "We know that. But, it's just how we come back from those things, how we adjust to it."
So then … just how good can they be?
"If you take injuries out of the equation, I mean, as far as to the championship, I'd guess," Millsap said. "I'd like to give us, I mean, our team is really good.
"If you look at the guys that are in our lineup, especially the starting lineup, and then you've got guys coming off the bench that can be starters — I mean, you take that together, and you add chemistry with this team being together for a long period of time, the sky's the limit.
"Who knows where we can be come June?"
It's a question Millsap swears that — Williams' admission notwithstanding — he hasn't broached with others who have to be wondering just that.
"We don't like to get our hopes up too high," Millsap said. "We don't like to toot our own horn, you know? We know what we're capable of doing. It's just a matter of getting out there and doing it."

So good,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Outsiders (MP3 Download)
To start with I wasn't sure, he's taken a new direction here. If you've got Chief and are expecting more of the same you may be disappointed.
After a few listens I'm completely hooked though. There's a strong rock influence throughout and some songs are quite dark.
Tracks like Rollercoaster Ride and Give Me Back My Hometown quickly become anthems I can't get out of my head.
Eric's passion and song writing excellence is evident throughout.

Mullally Tries Hand at Movie Production
Seemingly ready to make a venture into film producing, "Will & Grace" star Megan Mullally has satisfyingly secured the movie rights to Sally MacLeod's novel, "Passing Strange." The actress is the latest cast member of the popular sitcom to go into production field after Sean Hayes and Eric McCormack.
"Passing Strange" tells about a woman who is persuaded by her husband's family to undergo a major cosmetic surgery and later falls into the arms of her black yardman to then embark on an affair with dire consequences.
In making the big screen adaptation, Mullally will be helped by Martin Garner who will write the screenplay. Garner himself previously has taken up the writing stint on an indie picture, "Trans", while also served as an associate producer there.

NOM's William Owens: Democrats are a 'Demonic Party'
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 10/11/2012 3:50 pm
Today, the National Organization for Marriage's religious liaison William Owens appeared on Today's Issues with Family Research Council head Tony Perkins and American Family Association president Tim Wildmon, who spent much of the time talking to Owens about how because of the President's stance on marriage equality black voters are now turning against Obama (they're not) and that there is no way Obama is a Christian. Owens later claimed that not only is Obama not a Christian but also that his Democratic Party is a "demonic party" that must be stopped.
Owens: They haven't seen anything yet, now I get hate mail now and I don't know what they'll say the next time, because I'm going at a party with God out, when it was God who brought black people through slavery, it was God that we trusted in that brought us through the civil rights movement when we were being beaten, put out of our homes, threatened, lost our jobs, it was God that we looked to. For them to take God out its demonic; it is a demonic party and I will call it what it is and I'll take the heat, at my age what can I lose? I will tell the truth. I'm not trying to win favor with anybody I just want God to be pleased with my life.
