HOTSEAT- Full throttle: Ferrari shifts gears
If you've been a reporter in town the past three years, then you've been scooped by Lisa Ferrari. That's how long she's been here, and even changing careers from radio to TV hasn't slowed her tenacious journalism.
Ferrari was on the scene when WCAV and the Newsplex went on the air in late 2004– and is now a veteran at what is still called the "new" station.
"I always wanted to be a TV reporter," she says. "I knew my career would be in journalism."
Radio came calling first after she graduated from Boston College and finished her master's degree in broadcast journalism from Emerson College. She did radio news in her home state of Massachusetts but moved to New York to launch a 24-hour syndicated talk show.
An even bigger leap was to come to Charlottesville mid-career to become a TV reporter in a small market specializing in young, low-paid reporters.
"I thought, okay, what am I going to do with the rest of my life?" says Ferrari about her leap of faith.
For Ferrari, it's not just being on TV– it's the reporting. "I'm so glad I'm not anchoring," she admits. "I love the reporting. I want to be out there."
Ferrari is out there and works the police and court beat like no other local reporter. She confirms that reports of cookies to cops are true, and reveals her secret sources.
Although she moved here in July 2004, she didn't go on the air until November. "I did the citizen police academy," she says. "I sat in on that and took names and cell phone numbers. I still keep in touch."
Ferrari's 10am-7:30pm work day starts at 6am, and even before she gets to the station, she's looking for story ideas. "I call my usual people," she explains. "That's how I get most of my ideas."
At the Newsplex, reporters are also the camera men, and Ferrari has mastered that skill as well, setting up shots and then editing them. She concedes that she could do without lugging the camera around.
And on TV, there's there's the matter of keeping up appearances that radio journalists don't have to worry about. "I learned you have to put a lot of make-up on," she says. "If you think you have enough, put on 10 times more."
The wardrobe is less problematic: "I like to shop," she says.
She acknowledges a perception people have about journalists: "We lose touch with the fact that people are involved. We look at it as just a news story. That's really a little bit sad. I want to do more stories that make people aware there are more issues out there than breaking news.
"And my other goal is to win an Emmy," she adds.
Another challenge TV reporters have is to get people to talk on camera. Ferrari has had her share of setting up an interview and driving out for it, only to have sources balk when they see the camera and realize she wants to film them. "Yes, we're a TV show," she says.
But she's pretty persuasive. "I keep talking to them," she says. "There's something about me– people tell me things. They know I'm interested."
And her journalistic hero? "I always loved watching Katie Couric," says Ferrari of the personable UVA alum. "Now I watch Diane Sawyer. I want to be more of a serious journalist like her."
Age: Can we skip that one?
Why here? I wanted to pursue a career in TV news and researched Charlottesville and thought it would be a beautiful and fun place to live.
What's worst about living here? You can't get a direct flight anywhere.
Favorite hangout? The Downtown Mall
Most overrated virtue? Patience. I have none.
People would be surprised to know: I'm an amateur photographer.
What would you change about yourself? I'd be more punctual.
Proudest accomplishment? Becoming a TV journalist
People find most annoying about you: I can remember details about court cases or stories I've done years ago, but other things may slip my mind.
Whom do you admire? Oprah Winfrey, not only because she's an accomplished journalist but because someone told her she wouldn't make it, and she did despite the rejection.
Favorite book? Anything by James Patterson. I love murder mysteries.
Subject that causes you to rant? Charlottesville drivers. I'm used to Boston driving.
Biggest 21st-century thrill? GPS navigation systems
Biggest 21st-century creep out? My Space. If it's your space, then why are so many other people "in" your space?
What do you drive? BMW
In your car CD player right now: Bon Jovi
Next journey? Marriage and a family, I hope.
Most trouble you've ever gotten in? In third grade, I got caught putting tacks on other kids' seats. I went to Catholic school. It was pretty traumatic.
Regret: That I didn't start my career in TV sooner
Favorite comfort food: Coffee Heath Bar ice cream
Always in your refrigerator: Bottled water
Must-see TV: Prison Break and 24... of course only watching them on WAHU Fox 27
Favorite cartoon: Porky Pig
Describe a perfect day. Lying on the beach on the Italian Riviera, a little late afternoon shopping and dinner for two by candlelight on the waterfront
Walter Mitty fantasy: I'm a CIA special agent disguised as a broadcast journalist, and by night I'm saving the world. I drive a souped-up Ferrari and my lipstick is a small powerful revolver.
Who'd play you in the movie? Catherine Zeta Jones
Most embarrassing moment? I was a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding and my heel broke, sending me flying down the aisle. Speaking of which, that just recently happened to me again at the Newsplex.
Best advice you ever got? If you believe, you can achieve.
Favorite bumper sticker? Virginia is for lovers.

Well if you already have a database for users and roles, which most people who make websites like this will have all you have to do in ASP.net MVC is call the authorize attribute, and then go into your web.config file and add an authentication tag and a form which leads back to your Log in page. And, that is the awesome part. If you do the following in that order simply call an entire controller to be authenticated or a certain function within that controller to be authenticated and add some code to the web.config file you have stopped your pages from being viewed by the average computer user who doesn't have a login (I'm excluding those who do javascript Hijacking, or other forms like Psychocoder discussed earlier this week for now).
OK, so let's get to the code.
Add this to completely block unauthorized users from an entire Controller, which will block them from all pages that are created, and rendered using that controller by doing the following
[Authorize] public class CarbonToolsController : Controller { // GET: /CarbonTools/UploadCSS public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } }
Block unauthorized users from viewing a certain page from a controller by using the Authrozied attribute at the function level like the following;
[Authorize] public ActionResult CompanyList() { return View(_contentRepository.List<CompanyPage>()); } [Authorize] public ActionResult ServiceList() { return View(_contentRepository.List<Service>()); }
Authorize only people in certain roles to gain access of certain functions or pages with the following;
[Authorize(Roles="Admin, Alumni")] public ActionResult CompanyList() { return View(_contentRepository.List<CompanyPage>()); } [Authorize(Roles="Admin, Alumni, Moderator")] public ActionResult ServiceList() { return View(_contentRepository.List<Service>()); }
Don't take the code above too seriously where only Admins and Alumni can populate the list from Company, but all can populate the list from Services, because it is JUST AN EXAMPLE.
OK, so now that you have these controllers and/or functions properly authorized let's create that reroute to the Log in page. Let's say that the login page is in the following directory.
and if that is the case then when we go to our Web.config file we can do the following;
<authentication mode="Forms"> <forms loginUrl="~/CarbonAuth/LogOn" timeout="2880" /> </authentication>
So now if a user who isn't logged in or a someone who can be authenticated isn't logged in and they tried to go to a Url of CompanyList they would be kicked to the Login page, and only if they are successfully authenticated will they be redirected to the CompanyList page.
The following image below shows the browser url: at the login page with a redirect URL going to the CompanyList page only if the login is successful.
Well I hope this helps someone. Happy Coding!

- 9. Safe Cities and Towns
by Jared Taylor
Gilbert Town Council Member
Last year the Town of Gilbert was ranked as the second safest city in America. Great news! This ranking came from a review of violent crime data in the US. While the press focused largely on the influence of public safety, let's take a moment to recognize the real reason for this ranking: strong families and a thriving faith and service community.
Oftentimes I will use a sports analogy for Team Gilbert and refer to our families, service groups, churches, and schools as our offense.
These groups score the real points in our Golden Rule Town. By instilling both a love of America and strong moral values into our community, strong families are the Most Valuable Player in Gilbert.
Of course a great team can't be successful without a good defense. In a community, a strong defensive team consists of solid public safety and judicial systems.
In 1995, Dr. Patrick F. Fagan of the Heritage Foundation summarized the following conclusions from professional literature on violent crime and the family in his article titled The Real Root Causes of Violent Crime: The Breakdown of Marriage, Family, and Community.
- Over the past thirty years, the rise in violent crime parallels the rise in families abandoned by fathers.
- High-crime neighborhoods are characterized by high concentrations of families abandoned by fathers.
- The future criminal tends to be an individual rejected by other children as early as the first grade who goes on to form his own group of friends, often the future delinquent gang.
- On the other hand:
- 10. The Truth about SB1062
SB1062 was not a "controversial" bill. Nor did it "affirm the right to discriminate." It was not "broadly worded." As for those "unintended negative consequences" that Governor Brewer stated in her veto, those are the consequences of standing up for religious liberty and the freedom to associate. Are those worth fighting for? Apparently not.
What Governor Brewer, many Republican legislators, and candidates for Governor revealed was their total ignorance about the so-called "economic benefits" of bringing the Super Bowl to Arizona, and their spinelessness when faced with a mob. Some of those candidates for Governor are really ferocious, so they tell me.
As stated by Ilya Shapiro in the Cato Institute article titled For Marriage Equality, Religious Liberty, and the Freedom of Association:
"SB 1062 does nothing more than align state law with the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (which passed the House unanimously, the Senate 97-3, and was signed by President Clinton in 1993). That is, no government action can "substantially burden" religious exercise unless the government uses "the least restrictive means" to further a "compelling interest." This doesn't mean that people can "do whatever they want" – laws against murder would still trump religious human sacrifice – but it would prevent the government from forcing people to violate their religion if that can at all be avoided. Moreover, there's no mention of sexual orientation (or any other class or category).Click here to read more

Police arrest man in home burglaries
Police believe they caught the man who burglarized two homes late Thursday morning.
A woman told police she was showing a vacant home near North 52nd and Hamilton streets around 11 a.m. when she noticed an opened window in the home.
-- Mug shots: See who got arrested
She told police she went upstairs and opened a closet door and someone inside the closet closed the door shut. The woman ran outside and called police.
Officers found no one inside the home when they arrived. Shortly after, officers were dispatched to a burglary in progress call nearby. Police said a homeowner came home and saw someone carrying items around in the house and chased the person out.
Police found a man hiding near 51st and Cumming streets. A search of the suspect revealed stolen property from the first home.
Patrick Cummings was booked into Douglas County Corrections on two counts of burglary.
Police are still investigating.

There are now only days left before the deadline for the constitutional state legislature to place Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal on the June ballot. The deadline is March 10.
Given the state's $26 billion shortfall for an $85 billion budget, the governor wants about half the cuts to come from programs and services. Brown wants the other half to be raised through continuation of the three temporary tax increases enacted 18 months ago by the legislature on high end income, sales and motor vehicles.
The legislature could make those changes without going to the voters, but Brown has said that he won't approve any tax issues without voter buy-in.
All this sounds simple enough, but a two-thirds vote is required in each house to put the issue on the ballot. Democrats fall just shy of that number, leaving Republicans with a lot more bargaining power than their numbers otherwise suggest.
So, what now?
For Brown to prevail, he has to give in to Republican demands on pension reform and some kind of future spending cap. He may also have to reduce the five year continuation period to three or four years. The governor has expressed a willingness to deal, and for all of their past bitter differences with Democrats, legislative Republicans have been pretty mellow. All this suggests that a deal is near.
Some wonder why this is taking so long. As with any compromise, both sides have a lot to swallow. Democrats have to sacrifice major constituencies--notably students and the poor--to go along with the governor's plan. Republicans have to turn their backs on a cornerstone tenet--taxes--to seal the deal.
In the end, cool heads are likely to prevail. Still, that doesn't mean the budget crisis will be over. It only means that the legislature will place the proposal on the ballot for the voters to decide. If that comes to pass, look for a spirited campaign between now and June.

ISO 21469 Certification for Lubricants
- Overview
- Benefits of Certification
- Why Work With NSF?
- Certification Process
NSF International offers ISO 21469 certification for lubricants used in specialized industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and animal feed manufacturing. Lubricants certified by NSF bear the official NSF ISO 21469 certification mark on their packaging and labels.
Benefits of Certification
The internationally recognized ISO 21469 certification mark lets processors know your product meets hygiene requirements for formulation, manufacture, use and handling throughout its entire life cycle.
Using ISO 21469 certified lubricants can help processors reduce their risk of contamination. Like product registration, ISO 21469 ensures lubricant ingredients are safe in the event of incidental food contact. The ISO 21469 certification process also reviews the level of quality control applied to the formulation, manufacturing, distribution and storage of the lubricant to ensure it complies with the highest standards of hygiene.
Find ISO 21469 certified lubricants in our NSF online listings.
Why Work With NSF?
Since our founding in 1944, NSF International has worked to build a tradition of integrity and neutrality focused on protecting and improving human health. Our position as an independent organization, and our scientific and technical expertise in food safety spanning from farm to fork, have helped us become known as the most trusted name in food safety.
We are recognized and respected by regulatory agencies at local, state and federal levels. When you choose NSF International, you're choosing a name trusted around the world.
Certification Process
Your product can be certified to ISO 21469 in seven simple steps. We have refined our certification process to make it faster and more straightforward while upholding our tradition of integrity and exceptional attention to detail.
When you submit your application, we'll assign you a dedicated project manager to oversee your certification and work with you each step of the way.

How does NSF handle white mineral oil registration?
Historically, for companies that rebrand white mineral oil, NSF International has required that the rebranding/distributing company gain authorization from their supplier/manufacturer of the white oil in order to gain NSF registration the rebranded product. This authorization requires the manufacturer to 1) certify that the formulation of the original white oil and the rebranded product are identical; and 2) agree to notify NSF if the product formula changes or becomes unavailable. In following this practice, this authorization for rebranding of white oils has been handled in a manner identical to the way multi-ingredient formulations are handled.
Through recent discussions with key personnel in the lubricants industry and in evaluating the benefit of applying this authorization practice for single ingredient white mineral oils, NSF has decided to streamline its review practice and will now evaluate white mineral oil CAS # 8042-47-5 as a single ingredient, not a formulation subject to the authorization process. This means that the re-branding company may apply for registration independently, without the approval of the white mineral oil manufacturer. The re-branding company will be responsible for confirming the applicable regulatory references and ensuring all other NSF Registration requirements are met. We expect this to have a positive impact by reducing costs and timelines associated with the prior authorization process. This practice will go into effect immediately and does not have any impact on companies who wish to register white mineral oils as HX-1, as that option is still readily available nor will it impact any products currently registered with the authorization in place.
How much will ISO 21469 certification cost?
NSF will provide you with a quote for ISO 21469 certification promptly and free of charge. To receive a quote, please contact us at email@example.com or +1 734.827.6889. Certification costs are related to the services provided and include fees for facility audits, product testing, documentation review and project management services. NSF provides a realistic cost package that includes a complete explanation of the certification costs, in advance of the project initiation.
Why are some companies choosing to certify products to ISO 21469?
Similar to H1 registration, ISO 21469 is a voluntary standard. The NSF ISO 21469 Product Certification Program provides manufacturers with a point of distinction to use with their customers and provides assurance that the hygiene of every product has been independently verified by an NSF facility inspector and tested in our laboratories.
ISO 21469 certification opens the door to new markets in other manufacturing industries including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and animal feed. It also provides an internationally recognized benchmark for companies to measure their product quality. The NSF ISO 21469 certification assessment bridges the gap between traditional management systems registrations and H1 registration, and provides an excellent means of achieving continuous improvement objectives in your facility.
How do I select a company to certify my products to ISO 21469?
NSF has been developing national consensus standards and certifying products for nearly 70 years. In fact, NSF has certified more than 250,000 products in more than 100 countries around the world. We understand the third-party certification process and how to work with companies to achieve positive results.
Our legacy of working with the USDA and administering the NSF Nonfoods Compounds Registration Program means we are uniquely positioned to provide ISO 21469 certification to the lubricants industry. NSF's ISO 21469 certification policies were developed with input from the lubricant industry.
My production facility is currently ISO 9001 registered. What else is required for ISO 21469 certification?
Demonstrating that your production facility has an effective quality management system is an excellent starting point. However, the ISO 21469 standard gives additional product requirements that must be verified, including lubricant composition (ingredients), label content, risk assessment strategy, good manufacturing practices, effective process controls and information for end users. During the NSF certification process, each element will be independently verified for every product as described in ISO 21469 (Annex B, Registration Criteria).
What are the steps in the NSF ISO 21469 certification process?
NSF offers an ISO 21469 Product Certification Program that is robust, rigorous and true to the ISO 21469 standard requirements. The NSF certification policies contain all of the detail related to the NSF certification process and will be sent along with your quote package. As you consider moving forward with ISO 21469 certification, an NSF representative is available to call or visit you, to walk you through the NSF certification process in greater detail.
What is the difference between ISO 21469 certification and H1?
The NSF H1 registration program is a continuation of the former USDA authorization program for lubricants used in food processing, and covers two primary elements: toxicological assessment of ingredients to FDA 21CFR 178.3570 and related criteria, and label verification.
ISO 21469 addresses hygiene requirements for lubricants used in a broad range of industries (food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, tobacco, animal feed), and provides ingredient criteria in addition to 21CFR, guidance for risk assessment and product testing, criteria for labeling and requirements for good manufacturing practices.
Does the ISO 21469 standard apply to all lubricants?
ISO 21469 applies to all lubricants that could potentially contact food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, tobacco, animal-feed or related products (such as packaging) during processing. The standard includes H1 lubricants but is broader in scope, also covering lubricants used outside of food processing. ISO 21469 does not apply to lubricant additives (HX-1) or to direct food contact lubricants.

Innsbruck, gem of the Tyrol
A picture-perfect Austrian city with Alpine appeal, Innsbruck blends lavish baroque palaces and designer boutiques with old-world taverns and glass-fronted bars. Glittering with crystals and shining slopes, it's steeped in tradition but by no means traditional – as Bögen's all-night parties confirm. Located in the western part of Austria, Innsbruck, the capital of the Tyrol region, is a very accessible city with hundreds of shops, restaurants and numerous other year-round attractions. There are many ski areas around the city. Did you know that Innsbruck was twice host of the Winter Olympics in 1964 and 1976, and it also became the first city to host three Winter Olympics when it staged the world's first Winter Youth Olympics in 2012? Learn more about Innsbruck
Budapest, the capital city of Hungary
Budapest, the capital city of Hungary Budapest is the capital city of Hungary and also its largest city. The city is divided in two parts by the Danube River. The left bank is called Buda whereas the right bank is called Pest. Many European roads and railway lines lead to Budapest, which makes it an important city in terms of traffic exchange. Budapest is generally not our first choice destination when we are thinking holidays. Contrary to what most of us think, Budapest is an exciting city which can without doubt match the other capitals of Europe. With its architectural wealth, global flair, rich culture and spas, Budapest is a booming metropolis. An interesting fact about Budapest is that is the only capital city in the world which has thermal springs. Indeed approximately 125 springs produce 70 million litres of thermal water a day. The thermal springs are known to have medicinal effects due to their valuable mineral contents. Learn more about Budapest

Overall appreciation
"The trip was fine although the train was very full at the beginning. Later it became more comfortable. Booking the tickets on the net was a little difficult and the English of the site was rather poor. It would help people to find what they need if you asked a native speaker to correct it. Also, it'd be easier and cheaper if the tickets were sent electronically instead of having to pay for the expensive postage. But the service was very good and I appreciated that someone came up to chat on the net when I was having difficulties in booking. Thank you, Csilla Bertha "

Promo In December, the increasingly popular annual Business Cloud Summit will feature a Technology and Developer stream that is driven by The Register's own Tim Phillips. Why, you might ask, does that matter? Well, it virtually guarantees the tech stream will be largely guff free and that, if nothing else, it will be a perfectly tuned for you, dear reader.
The theme for this year is 'The Practical Cloud.' So expect tech's in suits, talking about real projects. Some of the confirmed speakers so far include one of the head honchos from IT Services in BAE Services, the CTO from Thompson Reuters and Bill McCluggage the CIO from the Cabinet Office. Between them they're packing some hefty cloud experience.
It's not just Tim who will be providing the entertainment on the day of course, others are doing their bit too. The event itself consists of three streams – tech, discussed above, a business stream, and the executive leadership stream.
Anyway, we suspect it's the tech stream that will interest you and if that's the case you should mosey on over here and register your interest. We will look forward to seeing you there.

Teachers' unions have generally opposed high-stakes testing of students, particularly as a way of evaluating teachers.
I disagree.
I don't think there's any substitute for testing. As a parent, I want teacher evaluations that are based on student performance, which requires testing.
U.S. & World
And that's yet another reason why we need teachers' unions.
"Huh?" you ask. Well, here's my point: High-stakes testing may be opposed by teachers' unions. But high-stakes testing can't work without teachers' unions.
That's because the incentive to cheat is so strong in such testing.
You'll never have honest tests unless teachers feel secure enough in their jobs to report cheating and problems with the test. And if you're going to rat out colleagues or a superior, it's important to have someone on your side -- like a union rep.
You may have read recent stories about cheating in high-stakes testing around the country, perhaps most famously in Atlanta. Well, the Atlanta fraud came to light in part because union-represented teachers reported it.
You'll hear would-be education reformers criticize teachers' unions all the time.
You'll hear them wish the unions could be eliminated as a force. But even if they could bust unions, do refomers really want that?
They shouldn't. You need teachers who are secure in their jobs -- secure enough to challenge those in charge -- if you're going to have the kind of school reform that union critics say they want it.
Reformers and the unions need each other.

This week, Bluebeam® Software, leading developer of PDF-based markup, measurement and collaboration solutions for design, construction and other technical professionals, is exhibiting at the 27th Annual Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Student Competition and Construction Management Conference in Sparks, NV.
ASC, an association dedicated to promoting excellence in construction education, is becoming an increasingly important resource contributing to the development of Bluebeam's academic outreach program.
While Bluebeam is attending the conference to show students and educational professionals how the company's flagship solution, Revu®, streamlines project communication, company representatives will also be looking to learn more about the challenges that construction management students and academic professionals face.
Bluebeam attributes a sharp increase in students and professors inquiring about Revu licenses for school labs and competitions to a renewed commitment by institutions to engage with the industry, define the essential skills graduates will need to be competitive and to provide the critical tools that will enhance those skills.
The ASC Competition provides university students with the unique and highly competitive opportunity to partner with top design and construction firms. Student teams apply their skills in solving the types of problems that they would face during the bidding and procurement phases of real-world construction projects.
"During the 2013 Associated Schools of Construction competition, my team was able to simultaneously and in real time work on marking up the construction drawings with all of the amazing features in Bluebeam Revu," says Boris Morales, a San Diego State University student. "In this competition, time is very limited; therefore, Bluebeam Revu was an integral part of our team securing 2nd place."
"More and more students are requesting Revu to gain a competitive edge in competitions like ASC's," says Sasha Reed, Director of Strategic Alliances at Bluebeam, "and we're inspired when we hear from educators who want to incorporate Revu into their curriculum so that their students can push the limits of project communication when they graduate into the workforce."
In addition to providing Revu licenses for student competitions, Bluebeam is investing in the future of the industry by furnishing university labs with Revu licenses, offering hands-on training and providing opportunities for Revu to be incorporated into the curriculum.
"I was blown away with what Bluebeam Revu could do when our group went through the training—so much more than Acrobat ever did!" says Clark Cory, Associate Professor of Computer Graphics Technology - BIM Specialty at Purdue University. "I am still experimenting with most of the features, but anticipate utilizing 3D PDFs soon in coursework! Revu is simply amazing!"
Bluebeam will be showing students and education professionals how Revu is enabling project teams to communicate better at booth #503 in the Rose Foyer of the John Ascuaga's Nugget Casino and Resort in Sparks, NV from Thursday, February 6 through Saturday, February 8.

ATLANTA (CNN) — Michigan and Louisville will meet Monday in the NCAA men's basketball championship game in Atlanta after both survived close games Saturday.
Michigan was up by 11 points at halftime leading the Syracuse Orange 36-25.
But the Orange went on a furious comeback in the second half, getting the game to within three points with a little more than 7 minutes left.
The Wolverines handled Syracuse's tough zone defense down the stretch, winning 61-56. Michigan's backcourt of Tim Hardaway Jr. and Trey Burke led the way against Syracuse's pesky defenders.
Two crucial foul calls at the end of the game helped the Wolverines secure the win.
They advance to play Louisville, who beat Wichita State earlier Saturday.
The Shockers and Cardinals battled through a tight, low-scoring first half that ended with Wichita State going into the intermission with a slim 26-25 advantage.
Louisville's 72-68 win means that its head coach, Rick Pitino, still is in contention to win his second national championship — the other coming in 1996, when he coached the Cardinals' archrival, the University of Kentucky.
The game also ended Wichita State's remarkable tournament run. The No. 9 seed in the West region beat top-seed Gonzaga and then Ohio State to earn a spot in the Final Four.
Despite being a heavy underdog, the Shockers led for much of the game — leading 47-35 with 13 minutes to go in the contest. But the Cardinals were able to chip away, before finally going ahead with about five minutes remaining.
Louisville, which won the national title in 1980 and 1986, will face Michigan Monday night.
By Greg Botelho and Lateef Mungin, CNN.

Holt, who will turn 24 on the second day of the AFL season on October 13, was the single biggest disappointment in the system in 2010. The 33rd overall pick in the 2008 draft bombed out of AA with a 10.20 ERA in 30 innings only to struggle in the advanced-A Florida State League with a 7.48 ERA with 56 walks and 62 strikeouts in 65 innings. Scouts reported varying velocities on Holt in AA, but the Mets claimed that his velocity was consistently better in the FSL than it was in AA. Maybe the Mets saw something better from Holt in Instructional League, going on in Florida, that made the team think Holt was ready for the advanced hitters and tough pitching conditions in Arizona.
Coming off a strong finish to 2009 at AA, Niesen too had a disappointing 2010. He began the year as a starter going 4-4 with a 3.63 ERA in 13 starts. His peripherals were ugly: he walked 41 batters and fanned 38 in 52 innings. He missed a month, from April 23 to May 26 with a concussion after getting hit by a throw down to second by Luke Montz. You can watch the video of the play here. The Mets moved Niesen to the bullpen in the second half and he was strangely hittable, yielding 40 hits in 25 IP with 19 walks against 21 strikeouts. Check out this discrepancy: as a starter, Niesen allowed a .219 opponents' batting average on a .260 BABIP while as a reliever, opponents hit .360 against him with a .412 BABIP. Wow. Overall, Niesen prevented lefties from hitting for any power at all, hold them to a .296 slugging percentage as part of a .241/.396/.296 line while righties hit a much more robust .287/.408/.473 against him suggesting that he might end up as a left-handed specialist.
I've had a soft spot for Carr for years since I saw him throwing 92-93 for St. Lucie and touching 95 back in 2008. In fact, coming into 2009, I had Carr ranked as my #30 prospect in the system. Since that ranking, Carr has thrown just 73.1 innings in the last two seasons after Tommy John surgery in 2009. Carr has always missed bats, but his control has been very, very rough. This year, in 23.1 innings in the FSL, he fanned 26 and walked 16. The Fall League will be a good test for Carr to prepare him for his first exposure to AA in 2011.

"White Lion" Is The Tale Of An Evangelical Man In The Vietnam War.
Description: Vivid and realistic nightmares about a man serving in Vietnam led Walt Williams realize that this man's life paralleled his own. Williams believes that God has chosen him to present the story of an evangelical man serving in wartime Vietnam. "I believe that this man was unable to tell his story and I have been chosen to tell it for him," Williams said. The book is about a man of deep evangelical faith who morally and emotionally struggles with the harsh realities of the Vietnam War. It details the man's personal struggle to justify his lifestyle to the pulpit as well as his desires to keep his military life in his past. Williams hopes that the book will provide families with an understanding of why many soldiers are reluctant to discuss their combat experiences.

US PRESIDENT Barack Obama will begin talks with congressional leaders on Friday with a plan to raise $US1.6 trillion in new tax revenue from the wealthy – making clear that, at least at the outset, a wide gulf remains between congressional Republicans and the White House on the most contentious point in the negotiations.
While Mr Obama said last week he was not wedded to every detail of his proposals, the White House said it did not intend to provide any new plan or make any concessions before the start of negotiations.
Rather, Mr Obama will present his 2013 budget as his starting point, a plan aimed at reducing borrowing over the next 10 years by $US4 trillion.
"We know what a truly balanced approach to our fiscal challenges looks like," White House press secretary Jay Carney said.
Mr Obama has said that the election validated his approach to tax policy.
His previous proposal called for raising $US1.6 trillion in new taxes on the wealthy by allowing tax rates to increase, imposing a new special tax on millionaires and limiting deductions for the wealthy.
He also proposed $US340 billion in healthcare and entitlement savings, continuing $US1.1 trillion in spending cuts already passed into law and generating another $US1 trillion in savings through the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
After the election, Republican House Speaker John Boehner signalled a fresh openness to raising taxes on the wealthy, though under what precise circumstances is not clear. He said he opposed raising tax rates, but has left open the possibility of increasing revenue by limiting deductions.
In last year's budget negotiations, Mr Obama considered two major changes to entitlement programs, tentatively agreeing to raise the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67 and to slow Social Security spending. While he may not be closed to the ideas in the coming negotiations, he is not opening the talks with such concessions.
"He does not believe that reducing deficits and debt are values unto themselves," Mr Carney said. "He believes that they are part of an approach that is driven by his No. 1 priority, which is economic growth and job creation."

Our night-by-night Fall 2012 TV schedule looks continue with Saturday. Saturday night would've been omitted from any night-by-night look except for the fact that I'm a completionist nutcase.
Last year there was some goofy TV media chatter that CBS was trying to breathe life into Saturday nights when it scheduled Rules Of Engagement there. That was nonsense, it was a warehousing move that didn't happen since How To Be A Gentleman cratered so quickly, RoE never aired on Saturday, and premiered on Thursday instead.
The big change on Saturday night next Fall (although it's already underway), and one I'm certain will get zero attention from the entertainment media, is the fact that Fox has given over the night to FOX Sports who'll program various seasonal sports (baseball, college football, NASCAR) during the year with some new episodes of Cops sprinkled in from time to time. That extra money spent will likely give FOX a nice ratings margin over the competition (with the possible exception of ABC Saturday Night College Football in the Fall).
For a trip down memory lane, check out 2011's Saturday schedule:

Seth's homecoming complications?
I am struggling with some discouragement over the disappointing and complicating news that our health insurance for Seth has maxed out, perhaps throwing a bit of a wrench in the work to get him home Thursday or Friday. I am so indescribably grateful I can know God is sovereign and only ever works everything together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28) Thank you to all who are praying us through this. I can hardly wait to get him home!
Another sobering fact is that before they knew we were maxed out on our insurance for Seth the hospital was attempting to secure 56 hours per week of professional nursing care at home for the foreseeable future. His needs are just too great for us to deal with on our own, especially on the weekends and in the evenings when help is more sparse and babies are more needy. :} He will also need regular home visits from the occupational, physical and speech therapists (due to developmental delays secondary to prolonged hospitalization and to help him overcome his oral aversion and learn to eat by mouth; he's back to almost all tube feedings only following the surgery), as well as durable medical equipment provision and maintenance. Whew! But our Father has provided so richly in the past, and we know He knows our needs before we can even think to name them. (Matthew 6:8)
Tonight when I was visiting he cried almost the whole time, then vomited profusely. It was a hard evening. I kept remembering, though, that we begged for his life and have been given that, so these hard times are really a blessing since he's here with us to go through them together. We cannot praise and thank God enough for sparing our little boy.
In the meantime, to those of you who feel led to pray for patience and protection: Gavin and I could really use it. There are times each evening we definitely fail, and "you always hurt the ones you love," in my case my wonderful stressed-out husband. I also am needing to scale back in some other areas.
Thursday, Lord willing, we will have things figured out with the financial department of the hospital and can room in with Seth to get teaching on all his equipment and special needs. Then, please God, he can come home! As I carried his car seat through the halls of the NICU this evening I was reminded again of the miracle God has done for us.
To Him be the glory forever and ever, in our lives, in Seth's, and in all of creation,
22 comments:
I noticed after the last few days that every time I inquired about something that you had been worried about (that had subsequently been provided) that you said ironically, "Yeah. That was really a good use of my time, worrying about that." SO, I am just reminding you that this is a chance for us all to wait expectantly to see and rejoice in God's provision, which will be amazing, timely, and perfect. Love you girl!ReplyDeleteReplies
"...amazing, timely and perfect provision." I love that and will be praying and watching expectantly for it. Thank you, dear Katrina, for coming all the way from the East coast to TX to love and care for the quints and their precious parents.Delete

I have been praying for your family. Early Childhood Intervention is a service available to your family for free through a State of Texas grant. They can assess the babies and set up a service plan where OT, PT, Speech, Developmental Specialists, respite, etc come out to help out. It might be something to look into - you can refer yourself or a doctor can do so - To make a referral, you can call: 817-446-8000 (local) or 1-888-754-0524 (toll free) Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. I used to work there, so I am familiar with the excellent in home services they provide for pre term babies and others that might have some developmental delays due to early birth or disabilities. Continuing to pray!ReplyDeleteReplies

Yes, I agree with the above post, the hospital case worker at our hospital set up a meeting with ECI for us as well, they took care of all the paper work & came to the hospital to meet with us, for convenience, & talk about what needed to be done with Cortlynn. They were going to have speech, physical, & occupational therapists come to our house, once she came home. We also had an O2 specialist who would come to our house & help us with the management of her oxygen needs. We also had her signed up for SSI, which is Social Security Disability, preemie babies and also babies with "chronic" health issues, (bad lungs qualify) for this & thus will let them qualify for medicaid, no matter what your income may be. I was a little leary of signing up for these, because I just thought we shouldn't because we aren't "low income", but I finally realized, it is best for the babies. & hey we deserve help as much as anybody else. :) SSI is very helpful, medicaid will pay for everything medical related that your insurance will not cover & you can even sign up for medical transportation, (going back & forth to NICU or for medical appointments) you can get paid for mileage. This can be back dated a little bit, so you might want to check in to this soon, to help with all the traveling back & forth you have done so far. Another thing you might want to look in to is CSHCN Children with Special Helath Care needs, you can read about it at www.dshs.state.tx/cshcn......paper work is a little tedious, but if they qualify, it is supposed to really help out once they come home. Hopefully some of this info will help you guys out, I just assumed your hospital had informed you of these. Still praying for you all! I'm really excited Seth may be coming home soon!!!Delete

These are excellent ideas. Our preemie qualified for SSI, which covered her medical expenses. In our state we also have the Early Childhood Intervention. It is an excellent resource. Like others have said your social worker at the hospital should definitely be able to help out. He/She might even have other ideas or know of other programs in Texas. It will all be worked out. :)Delete
Can't wait to see pics of all 5 babies at home together.

Lord, the situations with Seth's health problems and now insurance issues seem so immense and difficult, but, You know all the issues and are so much bigger than they are. We lift up the Jones family, Lord, and ask that You conquer their fears and frustrations and give them peace and patience as You work all things to their good and Your Glory. And, please provide the volunteers they need to function, and help the babies to be content and sleep as they should. We praise You and thank You for all of your blessings. Amen. NKLReplyDelete

Carrie, don't worry, not having insurance coverage will work out. Years ago, we didn't have ANY, and our son's $250,000. stay at CMC and heart surgery was all paid by Medicaid:thanks to taxpayers. (For us not having any insurance at that time was a blessing.) It will all, ALL work out...Rom.8:28 became my "best friend"...God continue to bless...ReplyDelete
Know God has everything in His ultimate control. He WILL provide for your financial needs. Some states have "catastrophic" health insurance for children with chronic medical problems, I would ask the Social Worker at the hospital about the state your in and if it's available or not. My grandson has this insurance in Michigan and the State covers all his medical costs and recently purchased him his first wheelchair. It is a blessing for sure. Do not think for one single moment you are not expected to be stressed out from time to time. Look at how much you and Gavin have been through already with these precious children. For ANYONE to think your days are filled with patience, roses and rainbows is crazy. We're talking 4 babies at home and 1 with serious medical issues to deal with each and every day. And in the mix trying to keep Isaac "front and center" instead of being pushed to the back of the line just adds another "layer" to the issues.ReplyDelete
I'm praying harder for patience, for those around you to realize that when your not quite as patient as you would like to be they recognize that and give you a big hug. Although said often "God never gives us more than we can handle" needs to be said yet one more time. It WILL get better, God WILL provide! You are doing an amazing job under some very critical and difficult circumstances...."this too shall pass". And as always praying for Seth....always praying for Seth.

My daughter went through her federal representative when she applied for SSD. Mike Rogers had a person that walked her through the steps and she was approved the first time through.ReplyDelete
God provides. When my husband died, I didn't have any back up resources and God provided more than I could ever have thought possible in ways that still astound me.
Ask for the hospital to apply for Medicaid for him.. given his birth weight and his needs you might get approved.... Also you might want to get a copy of his medical records and apply for SSDI (social security) for him if he qualifies for SSDI he will then automatically qualify for medicaid. Talk to the social worker at the hospital, she will help. Praying for youReplyDelete

I always keep your family in my prayers. Are you able to apply for state insurance, MA, extra or Social Security. These are options that have helped my family or other familes I know of in the past get there children home and there special needs care paid for. I know all to well about maxing out on care each year. Prayers daily that god only gives you what he knows you can handle and than you get that last bundle of joy home.ReplyDelete

I've been praying all day after reading this post...You two are going through a very difficult time, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually....All the ups, joys happiness, and downs since August....Anyone going through what you have been through and are going through, would be feeling the same.... God knows Seth's needs, months ago and now...Sometimes all we can say is "Lord, I do not understand, but I believe"....I pray that more help comes you way, during the fussy and the demands of 6 children...But most of all you two Gavin and Carrie, that each of you are in God's hands, and he will help you with patients,and peace...Please Lord help they keep their eyes on you,and each other,, give them rest Lord and the space alone and with each other..to be strengthen by you....ReplyDelete
My heart goes out to the both of you..My husband and I adopted a baby that was disabled,,,he is now 32yrs old...he has had major health issues all his life, with lots of ER visits , DR visits, and Doctors not knowing what to do until 2010... because he cannot talk,and him being in pain,,he would act out with behaviors and scream....through the years, we also had two biological daughters. I guess what i'm trying to say is many times, our relationship was strained, and we were tired physically and emotionally ...Wondering where God was...and what he was doing and how long could we hold on...But we had to keep coming back to God and say WE CANNOT do this alone...We don't understand but we believe, and would apologies many times to each other for the times we were inpatient or hurt each other...GOD HAS BROUGHT US THROUGH..and our marriage is stronger because of our Son and the difficulties we have been through... Our Son is now on a diet that helps him not be in pain, and we have help in our home about 8 hours a day plus a wonderful day program...He has his own life and friends... It's hard to see God's plan when you are in the middle of everything,,, But God IS there carrying you two through this.... Enjoy what you can, and place the rest on the Alter of God....Maybe I've said too much...But my prayers are with you from Dayton Ohio...
Happy Birthday Isaac Hope you had a wonderful day. How old are you now? Hope the pizza was wonderful. What kind of cake? Mine favorite is angel food. That is what my Mom made for all 5 of us. Still a favorite. Ask your Mom and Dad to hug you for us. Thanks for helping your Mom and Dad so much also. Kiss on all the babes for us too.ReplyDelete

3.6.3 Evaluation of Ocean Models
Natural and anthropogenic tracers have been extensively measured, most recently as part of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) and World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). Because of these measurement campaigns, such tracers provide important opportunities to evaluate representations of ocean physics and biogeochemistry in models.
22.214.171.124 Natural carbon cycling in the ocean
Most global ocean models of the carbon cycle are successful in reproducing the main vertical and horizontal features of ocean carbon content (Maier-Reimer, 1993; Aumont, 1998; Murnane et al., 1999). The observed features reasonably reproduced by all ocean models are the mean vertical gradient in DIC, with enriched deep ocean concentrations (Goyet and Davies, 1997), and the spatial patterns of surface pCO2 with outgassing in the tropics and uptake at higher latitudes (Takahashi et al., 1999). Furthermore, models which incorporate marine biology (including DOC and plankton dynamics) roughly reproduce the seasonal cycle of surface ocean pCO2, atmospheric O2 after it has been corrected for seasonal land variability, and surface chlorophyll (Six and Maier-Reimer, 1996; Stephens et al., 1998; Aumont et al., 2001a). Ocean carbon models can also roughly reproduce the phase and amplitude of interannual variability of ocean pCO2 in the equatorial Pacific (Winguth et al., 1994; Le Quéré et al., 2000) in agreement with available observations (Feely et al., 1997; 1999b; Boutin et al., 1999).
Although many first-order features can be reproduced by global models, there are still important aspects of the ocean carbon cycle that are not well simulated, because either marine biology or ocean physics are imperfectly reproduced. Ocean carbon models have difficulties in reproducing the spatial structure of the deep ocean 14C (Orr et al., 2001), which suggests problems in simulating the physical exchange of carbon between surface and the deep ocean. Models display their largest disagreements where fewest observations exist, in particular in the important region of the Southern Ocean where the mixing of tracers is subject to large uncertainties (Caldeira and Duffy, 2000; Sarmiento et al., 2000; Orr et al., 2001). In spite of these differences, all ocean carbon models estimate zero interhemispheric transport of carbon (Sarmiento et al., 2000) whereas a transport as large as 1 PgC/yr has been inferred from atmospheric CO2 measurements (Keeling et al., 1989). Consideration of the global transport of carbon by rivers reduces the discrepancy but does not remove it (Sarmiento and Sundquist, 1992; Aumont et al., 2001b). Atmospheric CO2 and O2 measurements suggest that interhemispheric transport may be incorrectly simulated by ocean models (Stephens et al., 1998), and could hint at difficulties in modelling heat transport (Murnane et al., 1999). Recent data from the Southern Ocean, however, seem closer to model results (Stephens, 1999) and the question about interhemispheric transport thus remains open. These problems could partly be resolved by a better representation of the physical transport of carbon in the ocean, especially isopycnal diffusion, sub-grid eddy mixing, and sea-ice formation (Stephens et al., 1999).
Three common problems related to marine biology in global ocean models are discussed here. First, most models poorly represent the formation and dissolution of CaCO3, which controls alkalinity. This process is often parameterized as a function of direct or indirect observations (salinity, temperature, nutrients). Although correct for the present day ocean, this parametrisation may not hold for past or future conditions with different ocean circulation and surface water fluxes. The alkalinity cycle is difficult to represent because the rate of CaCO3 formation derived from observations is consistently larger than the one required by models for reproducing observed deep ocean alkalinity (Maier-Reimer, 1993; Yamanaka and Tajika, 1996). Second, marine productivity tends to be underestimated by models in sub-tropical regions and overestimated in the equatorial oceans and at high latitudes in the North Pacific and Southern Oceans. The overestimation may be caused by limitation in plankton growth by iron (Coale et al., 1996; Boyd et al., 2000; Archer and Johnson, 2000), while under-estimation in the sub-tropics partly stems from neglecting mesoscale variability (McGillicuddy and Robinson, 1997; Oschlies and Garçon, 1998). The remaining discrepancies might be attributed in part to more complex processes involving nitrogen fixation (Karl et al., 1997). Finally, the tight coupling between carbon and either nitrogen or phosphate, which is generally implicit in ocean carbon models, precludes the simulation of past or future marine biological feedback mechanisms that involve a partial decoupling between carbon and nutrients (see Section 3.2.3).

Question: I've been wondering about record storage in indexes and how SQL Server maintains the ordering. At what point do records get moved around on the index pages so that they're stored in the correct order for a SELECT to retrieve them?
Answer: The simple answer is that records are not moved around to maintain ordering in an index page.
The question in email asked at length how a record would be inserted on a page (with room on the page for the record) if the key value of the record being inserted is in the middle of the range of keys on the page. The questioner assumed that some of the records on the page would have to be shuffled down to allow the new record to be inserted in the correct place.
Related: How record DELETEs can cause index fragmentation
This does not happen. The physical records can be stored anywhere on a page in relation to each other and the physical ordering does not have to match the logical (key-based) ordering. However, the records still must be accessible in key order.
SQL Server manages this by having an indirection mechanism on each page. There is a set of two-byte pointers at the end of the page called the slot array. Each entry in the slot array points to the offset of a record on the page. Although the records can be physically stored in any order, the slot array entries must be ordered such that the first slot array entry points to the record on the page with the lowest key value (assuming that the page is part of an ascending index, of course).
For example, if a page has three 400-byte records with key values and offsets as follows:
- Key value 4, offset 96
- Key value 7, offset 496
- Key value 1, offset 896
Then the slot array will also have three entries. The first will be 896, the second will be 96, and the last will be 496. Although the record with the lowest key value is stored last on the page, the slot array ensures that it is the first logical record on the page.
All accesses to records on the page are done using the slot array, so the records are always accessed in the correct logical order.
If a new record is inserted on the page with key value 5, it will be inserted at offset 1296 on the page and it will be the third logical record on the page. The slot array entry for the record with key value 7 will be moved by two bytes and the pointer for the new record inserted into the correct position in the slot array. The new slot array will have four entries – 896, 96, 1296, and 496.
The only times that records on a page are sorted into their correct logical and physical order is during an index rebuild, or when there is enough free space for a new record (or expanding) record on a page but the free space is not contiguous. In the latter case, a new copy of the page will be built in memory with the records ordered correctly and squished together to make all the free space contiguous.
Using the slot array mechanism allows SQL Server to avoid having to move records around repeatedly and make efficient use of the free space on index pages.

The LilyPad is a microcontroller board designed for wearables and e-textiles. It can be sewn to fabric and similarly mounted power supplies, sensors and actuators with conductive thread. The board is based on the ATmega168V (the low-power version of the ATmega168) (datasheet) or the ATmega328V (datasheet).
Warning: Don't power the LilyPad Arduino with more than 5.5 volts, or plug the power in backwards: you'll kill it.
Microcontroller ATmega168V or ATmega328V
Operating Voltage 2.7-5.5 V
Input Voltage 2.7-5.5 V
Digital I/O Pins 14 (of which 6 provide PWM output)
Analog Input Pins 6
DC Current per I/O Pin 40 mA
Flash Memory 16 KB (of which 2 KB used by bootloader)
EEPROM 512 bytes
Clock Speed 8 MHz
The LilyPad Arduino can be programmed with the Arduino software (download). *Note*, the LilyPad Arduino should only be programmed with software versions 0010 or higher. You can program it with earlier versions, but all of the time related functions will be off (twice as slow as they should be).
The ATmega168V or ATmega328V on the Arduino LilyPad comes preburned with a bootloader that allows you to upload new code to it with the Arduino software. You can also bypass the bootloader and program the ATmega through the ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) header; see these instructions for details.
The LilyPad Arduino can be powered via the USB connection or with an external power supply.
If an external power supply is used, it should provide between 2.7 and 5.5 volts. This can come either from an AC-to-DC adapter (wall-wart) or battery. Again, don't power the LilyPad Arduino with more than 5.5 volts, or plug the power in backwards: you'll kill it.
Physical Characteristics
The LilyPad Arduino is a circle, approximately 50mm (2") in diameter. The board itself is .8mm (1/32") thick (approximately 3mm (1/8") where electronics are attached).
Wash at your own risk, recommended washing projects by hand with a mild detergent. Drip dry. Make sure you remove your power supply first!
