Another look at whether the five-man rotation makes sense.
Over the last few weeks, I've been trying to answer a question. Fifty years ago, it was routine for teams to carry only four starters, and for those four starters to complete a good chunk of their games. Pitching on three days' rest was common, and pitchers regularly posted pitch counts that would get a manager fired today if he let it happen once. What happened?

Does the five-man rotation decrease the risk of pitcher injury?
Last time we met, we contemplated the curious case of the fifth starter. He is, somewhat by definition, worse than the other four guys who might otherwise be starting tonight's game. Yet there he is, standing out there for the next 3 1/3 innings until he inevitably gets chased after giving up his sixth run. Why not just skip this exercise in futility and let the other (better) guys pitch the game? Last week, we saw that pitchers didn't suffer much from going on three days' rest. It was a high pitch count in his last outing that was a problem. If pitchers have, historically, performed just as well on three days' rest as four, why is baseball so afraid to go back to the four-man rotation?

Is using a fifth starter a mistake?
Lately, I've been wondering about the development of the modern pitching staff. I've looked at how we got to the point where no one completes a game anymore and why pitch counts have fallen over the years. Here's another. What happened to the four-man starting rotation? It used to be that a team had four starters, each of whom pitched on three days' rest…or so the story goes. There were always days off and travel days, and then there were doubleheaders, so there were swingmen who picked up the occasional start. While we can't yet be sure what happened, we at least have an idea of when it happened. Here's a chart showing the percentage of starts featuring a pitcher who was on three days of rest (or fewer) from 1950 to 2012.

Episode 35: "Is Coors Field to Blame for the Rockies' Struggles?/Are Fans at Fault When Teams Don't Draw?"
September 5, 2012 5:00 am
How has the Rockies' four-man rotation experiment panned out so far?
In June, you'll recall, the Colorado Rockies announced that they would be going to a four-man rotation, with each pitcher limited to 75 pitches. Josh Outman was the first pitcher to start in the new format, and the consequences of the Rockies' shift were immediate: lots of people became aware that Josh Outman was pitching for the Rockies now. In the Seth Smith trade? You don't say!
It's still too soon to say what the four-man rotation—with 75-pitch limits on the starters—has wrought, and will wrou... uhh... whatever the heck the infinitive of wrought is. Work? It seems to be work. Wrought seems to be the past tense of work. Forget it.

The Rockies have tried to make a four-man rotation work before.
While looking toward the future with our comprehensive slate of current content, we'd also like to recognize our rich past by drawing upon our extensive (and mostly free) online archive of work dating back to 1997. In an effort to highlight the best of what's gone before, we'll be bringing you a weekly blast from BP's past, introducing or re-introducing you to some of the most informative and entertaining authors who have passed through our virtual halls. If you have fond recollections of a BP piece that you'd like to nominate for re-exposure to a wider audience, send us your suggestion.
This season isn't the first time the Rockies have experimented with a four-man rotation: they tried it in 2004, too. It didn't make much sense then, either, as Rany opined in the piece reprinted below, was which was originally published on May 3, 2004
June 25, 2012 2:15 pm
Josh Outman didn't get to finish his fifth inning, despite being up by eight. Will this be the sort of conflict that dooms the Rockies' four-man rotation?
You don't care whether Josh Outman gets credited with a victory, but Josh Outman cares whether he gets credited with a victory. On Saturday, with his pitch count well past the limit his manager has set for his new four-man starting rotation, Outman was pulled from his start. He was leading by eight runs, with two outs in the fifth inning and, therefore, an out short of getting credit for the win. He became the first starter since at least 2000 (as far as I went back) to leave a game with two outs in the fifth inning while leading by at least eight runs.

The Rockies are moving Jeremy Guthrie to the bullpen and going to a rotation of four starters on 75-pitch counts. Are the numbers on their side?
Well here's something you don't see every day—the Rockies are going to a four-man rotation. And what's more, they're going to put their four starters on a 75-pitch limit. Jim Tracy explained his decision like so:
"I felt we had to do something non-conventional," said Tracy of his beleaguered pitching staff that includes a reliever Josh Roenicke who has thrown more innings than one of the team's starters. "I was given the opportunity to tweak this. We are going to see what transpires as we move forward."

Does a recent rash of experimentation with six-man rotations make sense, and is it likely to be emulated in future seasons?
People love to label phases and eras, so few periods in baseball have gone without names. The 2010 season will be known as the Year of the Pitcher, if last year's coverage is any indication, just as the Dead-Ball Era lives on nearly a century later. If the first half of the 2011 season comes away with a nickname, history will have to choose between three compelling options: the Year of the Pitcher II, the Summer of Geriatric Managers, and the Invasion of the Six-Man Rotations. Sequels suck and demographics matter, leaving the latter as the most logical choice. The Yankees have thought about going to a six-man rotation, and the Athletics will use one—at least for a week—and when the rich and smart kids are thinking about making a particular move, then it's time to talk about it.
The most effective means of using starting pitchers has always been a hot topic in the sabermetric community, and it's inextricably tied to workloads, which in turn inevitably leads back to a discussion of optimal rotation size. In Baseball Between The Numbers, Prospectus alum Keith Woolner wrote about the advantages in going to a four-man rotation—citing, among other reasons, fewer starts going to poor fifth starters and an extra roster spot (Rany Jazayerli hit on similar points during his series in 2002). Another sabermetric publication, The Book (by Tom Tango, Andrew Dolphin, and Mitchel Lichtman), also addressed the topic. Within, the trio suggests that the optimal rest period is five days, while the worst is three days—concluding that four days of rest, the amount currently employed by most teams, is a good compromise.

Lima Time as a standard for evaluation, reinforcing the Red Sox, the Tigers slip by an Inge, and more.
Using a pitcher's rate of SNLVAR, Kazmir's season has been a disaster of massive proportions, one that rates about 4.8 on the Keough scale, something that for the moment suits my purposes for describing starting pitcher inadequacy, using Matt Keough's appalling 1982 season as a baseline for starting pitcher-related terrors visited upon a team's unhappy fans over a full season. This isn't really especially fair of me, in that Keough doesn't hold the single-season low for a starter with 30 starts in a campaign, but 1982 was a horrifying disappointment, and the man was beaten with a regularity that made me think that he was the drum, and the entire American League was Keith Moon.

Booth is left speechless when seeing dismembered remains are well-packed in several boxes.
Another gruesome murder case is waiting for Booth and Brennan in an upcoming episode of "Bones". They discover dismembered remains being divided into several mailing boxes, leaving Booth speechless. Still, Tamara can find a positive comment about it as saying, "It's packed very well."
The Jeffersonian team later identifies the victim as an employee of a local Ship 'n' Print, where the staff recently split the winnings of a lottery prize. As they go deeper in the investigation, Brennan guesses that paper cutter might be the killing weapon, and the team uncovers a complicated love triangle between two married employees and the victim.
While motive points to the husband (guest star Ben Savage), a critical clue leads them to solve the crime definitively. Meanwhile, Booth's grandfather (guest star Ralph Waite) breaks some unexpected news, and Special Agent Genny Shaw (guest star Tina Majorino) learns the importance of teamwork.
After airing the latest November 17 episode, "Bones" is taking on a hiatus throughout November and will return with the new episode, "The Male in the Mail", on Thursday, December 1 at 9/8c on FOX.

S.B. 5, as amended, would modify current law relating to purchasing practices of state agencies. This bill would:
1. permit sole source procurement when the acquisition is determined to be in the best interest of the state or when compatibility with existing contractual services, supplies, or equipment is the overriding consideration or when a used item becomes available and is subject to immediate sale;
2. increase the dollar amount of purchases that can be bid by telephone, fax, or sealed bids from $5,000 to $25,000;
3. authorize posting of public notices on a bulletin board for three days as a means to solicit bids for purchases between $25,000 and $50,000, rather than $5,000 and $10,000, under current law; and
4. allow the Director of Purchases to delegate authority to any state agency to make direct purchases of less than $25,000.
Under the last item, if the acquisition is funded in part or entirely by a grant, the delegated purchasing authority would have no dollar limit. Also, the requirement that notices be published in the Kansas Register to solicit bids is continued, but the dollar threshold is increased from $10,000 to $50,000.
The "public bulletin board" noted in item no. 3 includes an electronic monitor in the Office of the Director of Purchases, that Internet access to notice of bids is available through the Information Network of Kansas (INK), and that paper copies of bidding information are available from the Division of Purchases. Prospective bidders may also complete a "vendor registration application," which allows bidders to specify the categories of commodities and services they offer. The information included on the application is entered into a database, which is used by the Division of Purchases in soliciting bids.
The Director of Purchases would be required to make reports to the Legislative Coordinating Council, the Chairpersons of the Senate Ways and Means Committee and the House Appropriations Committee, and the Chairperson of the Kansas Performance Review Board. These reports would include a list of all contracts over $5,000 entered into without competitive bids, a list of agencies with delegated purchasing authority, and a list of instances in which the Director waived publication of the notice of bid solicitations in the Kansas Register. The bill would also authorize the Director of Purchases to conduct a cooperative purchasing agreement or consortium for purchase of supplies, materials, equipment, or contractual services. This consortium could be with federal agencies or agencies of other states or local units of government.
The bill was recommended by the Legislative Educational Planning Committee during the 1996 interim. The Committee report states that S.B. 5 is similar to 1996 S.B. 402, enacted by the Legislature and vetoed by the Governor because of a pilot project that would have exempted Fort Hays State University from many state purchasing statutes for FY 1997 and FY 1998.
The further amendments made by the Senate Committee are technical in nature.
The House Committee amendment clarified the usage of federal funds as suggested by the Legislative Division of Post Audit.
According to the original fiscal note prepared during the 1997 Session, the bill as introduced would have no impact on expenditures or receipts.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
The buyers were ready for today's downturn in the markets, Jim Cramer told his Mad Money viewers Tuesday. That means that the big money managers think individual companies are indeed undervalued.
On a day where terrorism once again dominated the headlines, investors might have expected a bigger slide in the stock market. But sadly, as these events become all too common, less and less panic grips the markets, leaving only the travel stocks lower by the end of the day.
Cramer said he saw prices being propped up by buying in the health care space, where prices have gotten so low many investors are willing to roll the dice. There was also strength in the oil patch for the same reason. Meanwhile, in technology, no news is good news and many tech giants keep marching higher.
Cramer said the term for this buying on weakness is the "underlying bid," and it was out in force on what otherwise would have been a very somber day.
Travels With Cramer
With the entire travel and leisure sector pulling back today, Cramer said it's smart to consider owning some of these stocks as long as you pick the right ones. He said as past terrorist attacks have shown us, there's a predictable pattern in this sector. The travel stocks always rebound from their lows.
But that doesn't mean that every travel stock is a buy. Cramer said he remains bullish on the airlines, especially with Southwest Airlines (LUV) trading at just 9.8 times earnings. He was also positive on the online travel stocks like Priceline (PCLN) and Expedia (EXPE) , which are also great values.
When it comes to the cruise lines, however, Cramer said there's another issue at play: the mosquito-borne Zika virus. With the Zika outbreak only just beginning and the Caribbean expected to suffer the worst of it, Cramer said it's too early to estimate what the virus will do to cruise line bookings. So far, there's been no impact, but that could change quickly as news of the virus spreads over the warm summer months.
With so many great airline and online travel stocks out there, Cramer said he isn't willing to gamble on Carnival Cruises (CCL) or Royal Caribbean (RCL) , even thought both stocks are inexpensive.

It's almost asking too much, but it seems as if from the appearance of recent fashion editorials one of two things has happened:
1. Either someone has directed all fashion mags to go light on the photoshopping
2. There's a directive that says curves (even if ever so slight in nature) are a-ok.
That definitely was not the case in runway collections this year. But it's looking like that in fashion magazines. Case-in-point is this feature of Kate Upton in this month's Vogue. They could have gone heavier on the photoshop (as they've done in the past), but that didn't happen. I'd highlight where the curves are, but you can tell just by viewing.

The future of a medieval silver chalice, insured for £2.2 million, is to be decided by a rarely-held legal hearing in Lacock next month.
The Church-led hearing will decide whether the Lacock Cup, which dates back to the 1400s, can be sold to the British Museum for £1.3m, where it has been on loan since 1963.
Its origins are uncertain, but it is believed to have been donated to St Cyriac's Church by Sir Robert Baynard, of Lackham Manor, 400 years ago.
Lacock Parish Council hopes to sell it to fund church improvements, with the rest going to a village trust fund.
But former accountant Geoffrey Fox, 82, who has lived in the village for 40 years, opposes the sale and will give evidence at the hearing, scheduled for December 3 and 4 at St Cyriac's Church.
Mr Fox, treasurer of the parish council for seven years, said: "It is not time to sell in these difficult economic times and, moreover, it is even more questionable as to how proceeds should be invested for the long term.
"Gold and silver are traditionally the investment for troubled times.
"Who knows, with the recent credit easing, there will not be severe inflation.
"The PCC should retain the cup, not only for use from time to time but as an investment that has proved its worth, through civil war, great wars, economic downturn and now double dip recession."
Mr Fox has formed a team with chartered accountant Julie Drew and former Chippenham auctioneer Norman Addison to oppose any potential sale.
In 2009, a public meeting chaired by the Archdeacon of Malmesbury, the Ven Alan Hawker, discussed the potential sale of the cup.
Then, on December 4, 2011, notification of a petition by Lacock Parish Council to sell the cup was issued, allowing villagers 28 days to register an objection. Mr Fox did.
He said: "It was all quiet for a long time and I thought we'd knocked this into the long grass."
The sale of the cup has been proposed by the Lacock Parochial Church Council.
John Catchpole, a former churchwarden and petitioner for the sale, said: "In 1981, the vicar and the PCC found the costs of insuring the cup while at Lacock had become too great. We believe it will not be feasible for the cup to return to the church any time in the foreseeable future."
He said a sale to the museum would meet obligations and ensure the cup stays on public display.
The public hearing starts at 7.30pm.

Cheaper Alternative to the Saarinen Side Table
Desire/Acquire: Saarinen Side Table
After laying eyes on the tulip coffee table sitting pretty in the simple suite of the Ace Hotel Palm Springs, I wondered if the iconic silhouette could be mimicked by those of us not on a designer budget.
Eero Saarinen designed the tulip collection of dining tables, side tables, and chairs in 1956 to "clear up the slum of legs in the US home." But a 20-inch Saarinen White Laminate Side Table ($585) still costs a pretty penny. Want to see an option that's about $400 cheaper? Then
The Universe Side Table With Frosted Top ($200) has a slightly clunkier design next to the Saarinen, but on its own, it would be an excellently affordable stand-in to clear up the slum of legs in your home, don't you think?

GERMANTOWN, Md., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advancis Pharmaceutical Corporation , a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel anti-infective products, today announced it has entered into a commercial supply agreement with Ceph International Corporation (Ceph), a wholly owned subsidiary of MOVA Pharmaceutical Corporation.
With the agreement, Advancis has secured a long-term supply for its Keflex(R) (cephalexin capsules, USP) brand of products beyond the transitional period agreed to by Eli Lilly as part of Advancis' acquisition of Keflex earlier this year.
"We are very pleased to have secured a long-term supplier for our Keflex franchise," said Kevin S. Sly, senior vice president and chief business officer of Advancis. "As we work to develop an improved Keflex through our novel pulsatile approach, we will look to partners like Ceph to assist in the development and commercial supply of our proprietary PULSYS products."
Advancis expects to begin clinical development of an enhanced Keflex utilizing Advancis' proprietary once-a-day pulsatile dosing technology called PULSYS(TM). Advancis' initial preclinical data support the Company's intention to develop this improved version of cephalexin, targeting once-daily dosing at lower doses and for a reduced treatment duration.
Keflex is the most-recognized brand of cephalexin in the United States with more than 15 million prescriptions out of the total 24 million cephalexin prescriptions written each year. Keflex generated branded product sales of approximately $4 million in 2003.
About Keflex:
Keflex(R) (cephalexin capsules, USP) is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic shown to be active against strains of both gram-positive and gram- negative aerobes in vitro and in clinical infections. Keflex is indicated for treatment of the following infections: respiratory tract infections, otitis media, skin and skin structure infections, bone infections, and genitourinary tract infections. More information on Keflex and prescribing information are available at http://www.advancispharm.com/products/keflex.
About Advancis Pharmaceutical:
Advancis Pharmaceutical Corp. is a pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of pulsatile drug products that fulfill substantial unmet medical needs in the treatment of infectious disease. The Company is developing a broad portfolio of anti-infective drugs based on its novel biological finding that bacteria exposed to antibiotics in front-loaded staccato bursts, or "pulses," are killed more efficiently and effectively than those under standard treatment regimens. Based on this finding, Advancis has developed a proprietary, once-a-day pulsatile delivery technology called PULSYS(TM). By examining the resistance patterns of bacteria and applying its delivery technologies, Advancis has the potential to redefine infectious disease therapy and significantly improve drug efficacy, shorten length of therapy, and reduce drug resistance versus currently available antibacterial products. For more on Advancis, please visit http://www.advancispharm.com/.

The hotel is very clean. Was attending a wedding in the afternoon and called for early check-in. Attendant was very polite but not very helpful. Arrived around 10:30 a.m. and I explained that I had traveled in for a wedding that was at 3:30 pm that afternoon and was hoping to be able to check in at least by 1:30 in order to get ready. Was told again they couldn't promise anything. I understand there is a 3:00pm check in but when someone calls at 8:30 and then arrives at 10:30 am...you can't clean one room. I finally went back at 12:45 pm and asked to speak to the manager was told she was on phone. I said I will wait. Finally, the attendant left the desk and went and checked on a room and came back and checked me in. The room was comfortable, clean, staff was friendly.

Temperature cycle
Dear all,
My time-dependend COMSOL experience is not that well developed. That is why I want to ask you the following.
I am making a 3D model of a microfluidic reaction chamber. This is nothing more than:
- an inlet,
- reaction chamber,
- an outlet.
On the bottom (outside of chamber material) there are thin film Pt resistive heaters (approximated by the thin film approximation). So far I have modelled the steady state heat transfer through the chamber material and fluid inside the chamber. However, now I want to make a time dependend model in which the temperature is cycled from room temperature to 95 degree C, to 61 degree C and back to 95 degree C. I am especially interested in the time required for heating up to a steady state and cooling down to a steady state. This monitoring will be done with domain point probes throughout the reaction chamber.
I tried some different things with step functions, but sadly I could not get it working.
Can some of you give me some tips/solutions on how to do this?
Thanking you in advance!
Best regards,
Henk-Willem Veltkamp

text: Simply put, the judicial system has failed. I'm a hard-working, tax-paying citizen. I have never had any "run-ins" with the law, and then we have a hardened criminal, known for previously stealing cars and already on probation for such offense, walking away from a supposedly "open and shut" case. It just doesn't make any sense.

Wall of Sound – Gus G Gears Up For Ozzy & Firewind Tours
When Black Sabbath announced plans for a reunion album and tour last year, the metal world went into a frenzy. The legends were back! But then Tony Iommi announced his diagnosis with cancer, and the band scaled back its planned appearances to small number of dates. To fill the void left in the wake of some of the already-announced Sabbath shows, Ozzy Osbourne called up a few friends to do something really special: Ozzy & Friends. This European tour features Ozzy's current band – guitarist Gus G, bass player Blasko and drummer Tommy Clufetos – with some very special guests: Slash, former Ozzy and current Black Label Society shredder Zakk Wylde, and none other than Black Sabbath bass legend Geezer Butler. Gus recently sent us a pic from rehearsals and we needed to know more, so we called him up late last week to give us an update on all things Gus: Ozzy, the forthcoming Firewind album, and his signature Gus G Fire Blackout pickups.
How are the rehearsals going for the tour?
"It's okay! It's been going really good! We did a few days in a row with just the band, then Ozzy came down, Geezer Butler came down for a couple of days, Zakk Wylde came down for a couple of days. Then today Slash was there. So we've been going through the songs that each guy is going to come up and do separately. And tomorrow is a day when we all get down there for rehearsal, so it'll be one big meeting."
I don't think you should give away which songs you'll be doing, but you got to play with Geezer?
"Yeah I did! That was amazing, man. He's the best, heaviest bass players out there. No doubt. And it was great to hear those songs with the original bass lines."
And Zakk Wylde – he's been very supportive of you in the press.
"Yeah! He's been really supporting me. That's very nice of him. I'm a fan of the guy, and I really like the guy. We got to hang out a couple of times, and he's really fun to be around. He's got a lot of cool stories and he's just a funny guy. He was down there for a couple of days. And Slash is great."
So what guitar rig are you using on this tour?
"It's the same thing, really. I have by Blackstar Series 200 heads and cabs, a bunch of my ESPs – both the Eclipse and the Random Stars. The only thing that's actually changed lately is my pickups. Before I had standard Blackouts on all my guitars, and now I've switched. I still have some of the standard Blackouts, but my Random Stars all have my own signature pickups. They have such an organic sound. It definitely doesn't take over. You can hear the wood and the harmonics of the guitar. You can hear the actual guitar, and at the same time it's loud as ****!"
So why all the different guitars? Are some in different tunings?
"I use the Eclipse guitars for the Sabbath stuff and I use my Random Stars for the Ozzy material, and that's it."
I listened to Scream again last week for the first time in about a year and a half, and it really holds up well.
"That's very nice to hear! You know what? I actually did the same just a few weeks ago. I put it on my iPod and I was like, 'Hey! Two years later this album doesn't sound bad at all!' There's some really good music on there."
Yeah. Songs like 'Life Won't Wait' sit up there with the best of the Ozzy stuff.
"That is a really good song, yeah. 'Time' is also another really cool ballad. We put a lot of hard work into that album. I'm glad to hear that a couple of years down the road people have not forgotten about it!"
Have you been writing for a future Ozzy release?
"I've written a bunch of stuff already. I have lots of ideas. The thing is, it's not really up for discussion right now, because Ozzy was concentrating on the Sabbath thing, and the next Ozzy album might take a bit longer than expected, but as far as material goes I definitely have a lot of riffs. I wrote some stuff with Ozzy on the road as well that sounds pretty good. It's just a matter of when we're going to get together to do that."
And Firewind are releasing a new album, Few Against Many, just before the Ozzy & Friends tour.
"Two days before the tour. It's a very heavy album compared to the previous Firewind records. And that's because we cut down a lot of the keyboards and there's more guitar in it. So there's a lot more riffing, and it's a lot more groovy as well. It's still like Firewind but I think that the power metal element is a bit more eliminated, so to speak. It's a bit more of a straight heavy metal album. And I think it's the kind of record where it could please fans from both sides of the Atlantic. It's cool. You've got to check it out. We just released a single the other day, 'Wall of Sound.' It has a different sound as well, because we mixed it somewhere else. We mixed it with the guys from Audiohammer studio in Florida, Jason Suecof – he's done Trivium and all those sorts of bands, and he really gave us a fresh sound. It's much bigger. I tried out different tones in the studio. I'm very happy with the outcome and I can't wait for people to hear it. And we start touring right after the Ozzy tour is done. We start doing festivals in Europe in July, and then in August we go to China for the first time, and Taiwan, and after that we go back home and we do a pretty extensive UK tour, then a mainland European tour. And I think after that we're going to try to get over into America. So it's going to be a world tour. The whole run."

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
I was looking at some metadata access today and this reminded me of when I talked about this topic two years ago at the PASS Summit in Denver.
Back in SQL Server 2000 most of the existing metadata was available to members of the public role, that is, to any login that can connect to the SQL Server instance. SQL Server 2005 promises that a user can only see the metadata of an object the user owns or has access to. This was a huge security improvement. However, some items were still left available to any user, which in some cases could be a security concern.
Let us test some of it. Create a new login called insecure without granting any permission to it. Connect as that user and see what kind of information from the server you are able to obtain. Try this first
select * from sys.databases
This new user is able to see the list of all the databases on the server, including the ones he does not have access to. Try
select * from sys.configurations
This time you can see some configuration information of your instance including some specific security information like if the 'c2 audit mode' is enabled.
Some other data available to any SQL Server user is information about the location of the files of the current database, linked servers or backup devices. Try these
select * from sys.database_files
select * from sys.servers
select * from sys.backup_devices
Here I am using catalog views only but the same applies if you use the SQL Server 2000 compatibility views (like sysdatabases). You can also execute some stored procedures like these to get similar information
sp_helpdb 'master'
exec sp_configure
exec sp_helpfile
exec sp_helpserver
exec sp_helpdevice
Now let us look at the msdb database. By looking at the following system tables (yes, these are called system tables) you can obtain all the information regarding backup and restore operations performed on your instance. You can obtain information like database names, location of databases files, locations of database backup files and names of users who performed these backups.
use msdb
select * from backupfile
select * from backupmediafamily
select * from backupset
select * from restorefile
select * from restorehistory
You can also run some extended stored procedures or functions like the following
exec master..xp_msver
select serverproperty('ProductVersion')
select serverproperty('IsIntegratedSecurityOnly')
For example, the first two display the version (build) of SQL Server, which can show if the database administrator has installed the latest service pack or security updates. This can reveal some known security vulnerability of your instance.
Perhaps you can see now that this information, like security configuration, database names, database file names, location of database backups, user names, etc. could be used by an attacker to get additional permissions or data.
Certainly these are the defaults and many of them can be changed to be more secure, but many times this is not practical as some tools and applications depend on these defaults. For example, you can revoke the VIEW ANY DATABASE permission (executed as member of sysadmin) to secure the information displayed on sys.databases.
revoke view any database to public
But now only database owners can see their databases listed on sys.databases. Of course, this is a problem for a valid user who is not a database owner, who will only see the master and tempdb databases on this list. To test, grant db_datareader permissions to the insecure user to any user database. Test this again connected as the insecure login
Only the master and tempdb databases are listed this time. One known issue of this configuration is that you can not use ODBC Data Source Administrator to create a new data source to connect to a database you have access to (unless you are the database owner)
Even Management Studio does not list all the databases you have access to (but you can use the USE statement)
But what is still ironic is that, even when you can not use ODBC Data Source Administrator or list your databases in Management Studio, you can still use db_name() to list all the database names anyway like in
select db_name(5)
Finally, note that a command introduced with SQL Server 2005, VIEW DEFINITION, could also help you to have more control on the access to SQL Server metadata.

There's no consistency to trends in recycled resin prices during the first half of the year. Various pressures kept RPET prices down, while R-HDPE has gone up, despite the weak pipe market.
Sources say 2014 has been "strange" for RPET pricing so far. Tightened margins have stimulated processors' interest in post-consumer recycled (PCR) resins The PCR market saw increasing prices every month through May, when they stabilized and then dipped in June. The virgin market, on the other hand, has been dipping since the beginning of the year. "Now, we are hearing about a potential increase in virgin prices going into summer," said one recycler
On the West Coast, the talk is all about pricing pressure from Mexico. The Chinese are still not buying a lot. Most of the pricing movement is in the clear market, at least on the East Coast, because of significant recycling capacity expansions, says one recycler. "When there is so much sitting around, it gets to the point where there is no profit margin."
While 2014 is expected to be weak year for a lot of those in the RPET business, "we are still a little bit ahead of last year," says one reseller.
Bad weather from winter through spring continued to depress the pipe business, which is a major source of demand for R-HDPE. Though down from a "normal" season, business for recyclers is not as bad as it was last year at this time.
On the other hand, the bad winter weather drove scrap prices up at the start of 2014. Those prices have stabilized going into summer, but they are still quite a bit higher than they were at this time last year.
Some recycled natural resin prices are being sold above virgin right now because the natural bales are so expensive and scarce. "We are hearing 49¢/lb for bales picked up at recycling centers," said one source.

Morning! RR: 10 treadmill miles this morning, it is pouring here and there was threat of t-storms so i opted out. haven't watched morning tv in a while! dbf and i lifted last night, back and biceps, and feeling a little sore today--yay! NRR: went to bed early last night and feel much better today. i was so tired yesterday. dbf's friend is in town again (his work has a branch here and he comes quite a bit) so we may meet up with him. FR: trying a new pub in town, its local beer and food from farms in the area. burgers and such. mia-is dd's old dbf bad news? maybe i mis-interpreted. that is cool dbf can fix cars! sounds like a fun thing to take out on sunday afternoons. any word on jobs?
ou-bet you like tuesdays when you are on vacation!
RR: Ended up skipping crossfit last night and going for a long walk up the hill with my friend. I was achey yesterday and it is my TOM, bleh! The walk helped lots. This morning going with friend to watch her son in a gold tournament and then we'll go for a run.
NRR: Like I said I was just achey yesterday. Did some school work, housework, and was also lazy.
FR: lots of veggies.
SJP: Always good to avoid thunderstorms. No word on job yet, they said within 2 weeks and it's just been one week now - but I'm still getting anxious. I don't think DD's ex is bad news, in fact, I like him, I just think he's a bit immature. Maybe he's grown up some in the past 6ish months. He was supposed to go to the same school as DD but decided to go to community college instead to save money. I don't think DBF's car will be ready to drive anytime soon, it is totally stripped and the body is going to the body shop to be painted. He has pulled the engine out and is going to work on getting it to run again. I don't doubt he will do it, but I'm guessing it will take some time.
Good morning!
RR – 3 mi tempo run over lunch today – looks like another warm and sunny one.
NRR – Whew, busy day yesterday both at work and at home! I was pretty busy at work all day and then got home and spent 3 hours or so reading for class and getting caught up on homework. Only four more weeks to go… I can do it! It's tough when it's so nice and sunny out and I just want to laze about! Today is DBF's one year anniversary at REI (I forget who asked when I last mentioned that, but he loves it there!) so we are going to dinner and probably some beers to celebrate!
FR – Not sure what the plan is for dinner, I'm sure it will not be the healthiest and will probably involve some beer, but that's ok for special
Will try to make it back for shouts today!
DBF and I apparently got our wires crossed and we are planning to celebrate tomorrow, not tonight... whoops! Oh well, more time for homework tonight (yay...). I had a great 3 mi tempo run over lunch, ran one of my fastest times on that course that I can remember!
sjp - love the "yay" to being sore - I definitely feel the same way, you know you've gotten a workout in that way! How is morning TV? Do you mostly just watch the news? I like to watch HGTV when I am stuck on the treadmill... haha! Glad you got an early bedtime and have a fun night planned - I love the local beer/local food concept, you'll have to let us know how it is!
Mia - Boo to the achiness... I hate feeling that way especially when paired with everything else from ttom. Fingers crossed you hear from the job earlier rather than later - waiting is always the hardest part! It seems like your DD is a smart girl so I"m sure she'll be able to steer clear of ex BF if he is still immature, I'm sure it's hard to trust that your kiddos will make the right decisions always though!

Did a lot of looking around. Nothing beats real wood or the toughness of bamboo. Great dark color and you can still see variations in the color. Only con is it's like a black car...looks great cleaned up but shows dirt/hair, etc easily. Easy to clean though and cleans up awesome. I have big dogs too. Just when I think they made permanent scuff marks or scratches, they just wipe away.

Isanti County Board
At the Feb. 2 regular meeting, the Isanti County Board approved the
$186,000 purchase of a new snowplow truck for the Highway Department.
Greg Hunt
[email protected]
At the Feb. 2 regular meeting, the Isanti County Board approved the $186,000 purchase of a new snowplow truck for the Highway Department.
Highway Engineer Richard Heilman explained the need for the 2011 International tandem snowplow, with older trucks in the county's fleet reaching high miles and hours of usage. Two older trucks are kept for back-up and were employed this busy snow-removal season when younger trucks needed maintenance. The new truck will arrive mid-summer and be ready for the 2011-12 winter season.
The board also approved right-of-way payments to residences along Co. Rd. 45 from Co. Rd. 19 north to Xylite St. NE. The payments will cover land needed to widen that road—a busy stretch which takes traffic to Cambridge Middle School. Heilman reminded the board this will be a two-year project which will allow the fill work to settle this year on the soft peat areas of the ditches.
Payments range from a high of $16,600 to a low of $500 for 11 residences in the work area, with the total coming to $79,100.
Heilman also updated the board on a Co. Rd. 9 improvement project between Co. Rd. 45 and Co. Rd. 18, planned for the 2012 construction season.
Parks projects for 2011
Parks Director Barry Wendorf received approval for several projects to improve the county's parks this year. Boardwalks with an elevated viewing platform will be built at the Irving & John Anderson Park, with a low bid of $81,600 received from MN Boardwalk of Arlington, Minn.
A log-style picnic shelter will be built at Vegsund County Park northwest of Stanchfield (similar to the shelter completed last year at Anderson Park). The low bid for that project was $18,000 from Evergreen Log Homes of Princeton. The county will be reimbursed up to 75 percent of the total cost of both projects through the state's Parks Legacy Grant Program.
In addition, Wendorf received approval to spend $23,900 out of the 2011 Special Projects budget for professional buckthorn removal at Vegsund Park. Services provided by low-bidder Applied Ecological Services of Prior Lake will cover 1 1/2 years of removal process of the invasive species.
Wendorf also updated the board on the fantastic volunteer support his office received last year. A total of 211 volunteers helped Isanti County
Parks for a total of 1,136 hours (a savings to the county of $14,774 @ $13/hour estimated labor rate).
Volunteer projects on the 2011 calendar are the following:
— March 26– Boardwalk construction at Anderson Park
— Earth Day April 30– Rain garden construction at Springvale Park
— June 4– Burr oak planting at Becklin Homestead Park
— Aug. 6– Chimney swift tower construction at Anderson Park
In other action, the Board:
— Approved the following personnel hirings: Lynette Guderian and Tiffany Cahoe as financial workers for Family Services; Richard Finley as full-time jailer for Sheriff's Office.

Well done Robin Uthappa! You have taken so many big steps in your short career already. Don't you think so?
Well I think it has been a decent progress, I have done pretty well for myself in the initial part of my career. But it is important that I continue to do well with the given opportunities. I am looking forward for it as I am enjoying every minute of the time I am getting to spend with the Indian team. It has been a dream come true and I will try to stay as long as possible.
Did you expect playing for the country so soon? I mean you don't really have great averages in the first class matches, just about an average in the mid 30s or so…
Definitely I would have played for the country, the thing with me was that I got picked on the basis of my One Day Statistics. My average was quite high in the mid 40s or even the early 50s and that is what I thought had pushed me into the side. So the One Day Matches like the one in the Challenger Trophy mattered more for me.
In your Debut match at Indore itself, you scored 86 smashing the English bowlers all over the park in front of a packed house…
Well it was a good experience to play in that game. It was a great opportunity to show what I could do and I was glad that I could give my best in contributing towards the team's success in chasing a big total.
So 86 is what you could make on ODI debut, but you could have easily jogged your way in making a century. How did you get out, of course most of us have seen that, but would love to hear from the horse's mouth about that dismissal.
Actually I was cramping a bit and I was struggling to run because of that. I had no idea that the ball was coming to my end. When I saw the fielder, I thought that he was throwing to the non striker's end and I didn't get any call from the non striker that it was coming to my end and I was kind of caught in nowhere there. Probably it would never happen again in my life.
I thought the catch of Kevin Pietersen's at the mid wicket boundary was a confidence booster for you. Could you recall that moment for us and you were seen celebrating it with the crowd…
Well yeah, it was great as I have always been very keen on my fielding. I always want to do well with the fielding as it always boosts your confidence to do well when you are batting as well. So I was glad to pick the first catch of my career in my first game itself, I was pretty lucky. The crowd was pepping me on and I just turned back to say thank you, it was a nice moment.
You have batted along with Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag in the 3 ODIs you have played, so what exactly were they telling you in between overs?
Rahul Bhai was very encouraging, he was telling me to just hang in there and be positive. In that game at Indore, it was all about not losing too many wickets and as long as we gave a good opening stand, we knew that 290 could be chased. We were trying to rotate the strike and keep all the positive thoughts in our mind and bat alongside. Veeru Bhai…I batted with him only once in the West Indies, I did not bat a long time in that game. Just while walking in to bat, he had told me to stay relaxed and was saying a thing or two on what the bowlers would do. I didn't really get any runs in that game, so that was something I missed out in batting with Veeru Bhai.
It must have been lots of pressure on a 20 year old opening the batting against the arch rivals Pakistan. How was it like inside?
Well there wasn't any pressure, I totally enjoyed the fact that I was opening against Pakistan. It was something I have always thought of atleast 100 times in my mind of opening the batting for India against Pakistan and I was very happy that it became a reality, so felt really good about that. Unfortunately I couldn't get some runs in that game, but in the future, I am sure. I am a lot more mature player now; I am growing older and learning more about the game, so I should do well in the future games.
In the 3 ODIs that you have played, it looked that you were off colour in batting on slower wickets. So do you have that in your mind and working on that aspect of your game?
I like the wickets that basically allow the ball to come onto me and the ones that we got in Abu Dhabi and West Indies were slightly on the slower side. That's something I am working on, playing on such wickets. I have learnt few things and done some work on it with the help of Greg Chappell and Ian Frazer. I have spoken to few senior players who have given their inputs on this and I am looking forward to bat on these tracks, these are something that come into picture quite often.
So tell us Robin, what is the difference that you found out in facing an Under 19 attack compared to a full fledged International attack?
There is a whole lot of difference because the experience is a whole lot more and the loose deliveries that are available in the U19 Cricket are very rare to get at the International level. I think experience is a huge huge factor between the Under 19 and the International attacks.
Well getting out to an intimidating bowler like Wavell Hinds wasn't the best moment you had in your career. How did you feel at that moment?
No no..that was one of the worst times in my life. That dismissal can be held in the same lines as my first match run out. I was actually expecting one of the fast bowlers to run in and bowl. I hardly got any time to prepare myself during the short lunch break and there was hardly any time in turning my back and getting ready in between balls, but that was no excuse. It was very odd to face some one who bowls just medium pace first up, probably I should be getting used to such things.
Anyway let's keep the cricket aside for few seconds, tell us how your stay in the Caribbean was? Tell us about some of the interesting things that you had encountered there?
Well nothing much interesting had happened, I was there for hardly 15-16 days, but it was great being with the side. Cricket wise, I have learnt a lot and I have definitely come out from there as a much richer cricketer and thanks to the support staff, I have learnt a hell lot. And also the Seniors, talking with them and sharing a few thoughts with them and they giving me their inputs on my game has been a major help to me. I have come back and started to work on them. We basically trained most of the time and we had to play 5 ODIs in the space of 10 days. So if we were not playing cricket, we were either spending time traveling to the next venue or practicing. That was all about it, we never got to see many places but St.Kitts was a very beautiful country.
So what's your next short term ambition in your career?
I am looking forward for this India A tour of Australia, it is a very good one. We have been training well for sometime for this tour and personally I have started preparing for it ever since I got back from the West Indies. I am keen to do well on this tour and it should be fun.
Well are you also looking forward to play the next ODI Series that is coming up in Sri Lanka? With Sachin Tendulkar coming back, the slots might just vanish…so what are your thoughts about that?
That's something really far ahead to think of because I have this tour of Australia to focus on right now. I am taking one step at a time and given the opportunity, I will definitely give my best for the country.
One last question, how do you spend your time when you don't have any cricket?
Well when I am not playing cricket, my time goes in traveling and when I am back home for few days, I spend lots of time with my loved ones. I like driving the car, on long drives not the traffic nowadays. Otherwise I love listening to music and sit on the internet and that's about it.
BV Swagath : Well folks, I remember in my first interview with Robin Uthappa, which was more than a couple of years back; his ambition was to cement his place in the Karnataka Ranji Squad. So he has gone a long way since then and today he is promising out to be an exciting and a dashing opening batsman for India.

This year at the Olympics there is a new beauty trend striking up a competition. The 2012 Olympic beauty trend is easily the most popular trend since the invention of colored spandex. With today's advanced techniques of nail art, it should come as no surpise that our 2012 Olympic competitors want to show their dedication to the sport by showcasing their countries on their well-manicured nails. It has been the talk of the fashion world throughout this year's Olympics. Simply type it in to your Google or Bing search, as I did, to see more images like the ones below.

One mans treat, another mans twaddle

The news business is dead. Toss in a few lilies and start filling the grave.
The news business is dead. Toss in a few lilies and start filling the grave.
At least that's what a vocal coterie of triumphalists in the media and advertising industries—although not necessarily our readers—keeps saying. And believe me, all of us in the news business spend some portion of our waking (and sleeping) hours asking ourselves whether we're just prepping for a crowd-scene cameo on "The Walking Dead."
The news business has been under tremendous scrutiny for the last decade. EE Times editors aren't alone in having been forced to do some serious soul searching. The syndrome afflicts the business on a global scale.
"Reporter," "columnist" and "letter to the editor" now sound strangely quaint. They've been quickly—and sometimes too eagerly—supplanted by the technocratic "content generator," "blogger" and "online message board."
New-media marketing wizards advance the notion of "communities" engaged in "crowdsourcing" through Twitter, Facebook and other "social media." The mass media, invented by our grandparents' generation, have fallen out of fashion; in a world of customized information, there are no mass markets.
Significantly, anonymity, in the form of online "handles" (a CB radio term that's been revived by the online "citizens' band"), is the norm for the new media. With this trend, regrettably, the news business has shelved the traditional journalistic practice of squeezing a full name, title and company affiliation out of anyone seeking to post a comment in an online community.
As many of our astute readers have already noticed, EE Times has joined the community movement, and we've made many adjustments along the way.
As I wrote this column, I fielded an e-mail from a reader who told us, "Stop the twaddle." He explained: "I don't understand the strategy of turning EE Times into some kind of social media Web site experiment. It's the same Muppets who post the same mind-numbing comments time and again. I want to view a media site with good journalistic content and opinion pieces from the best minds in the industry . . . not twaddle that fills 50 percent of the front page. Go back to the old format."
Well put. We hear you.
I'm not going to tell you we have it all figured out; we don't. But I will share our thoughts, and review a few initiatives we've begun, humbly, in 2010.
Our editorial team rigorously explored, vigorously debated and finally signed on to two huge projects this year: first, to go whole hog building an EE Times online community and, second, to launch EE Times Confidential—our first attempt in paid content—for executives who crave actionable intelligence that can't be Googled.
You might see those two initiatives as polar opposites. Good! That was our intention.
We are gunning for maximum exposure on our activities online at www.eetimes.com, where our news and analysis—and, critically, our readers' views—are aired in the open. We invite broad debate, and, obviously, we're eager for as many online hits as we can get.
In contrast, with EE Times Confidential, we are targeting our intelligence report exclusively to those who pay for it. The audience may be smaller, but being part of it puts each reader "in the know."
Let me explain further.

Stanmore finished one place above the drop zone in Middlesex County Cricket League Division One after being beaten by eight wickets against Brondesbury.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat, Stanmore's batsmen failed to build on positive starts early in the order.
Opener Steve Mehra was dismissed on 11 while Tim Percival scored 15 off ten balls before being caught.
The tail wagged though and Kunal Mehta (51) scored a valuable half century and was ably supported by Marc Reingold.
Stanmore eventually reached a modest total 153 all out from their 51.1 overs.
The Brondesbury reply saw 30 runs scored before Abishek Kulkami bowled Will Vanderspar for eight.
But James Overy (66 not out) produced a fine partnership with Tom Simpson (65) to put the home side on the brink of victory.
Despite Mehta claiming Simpson leg before wicket, Byron Vermaak (five not out) helped see the hosts home in 34 overs.
