In previous posts within this series, we've already looked at how you can't really prevent corruption. Instead, in order to be able to better deal with corruption, you need to be able to detect it early. To that end, there are actually a number of different ways to enable early (or early-ish) detection of corruption when it happens. And, in this post, we'll look at the use of CHECKSUM Page Verification as the first of these methods.
Enabling CHECKSUM for Page Verification
When configured correctly, SQL Server can instantly spot when data that it is pulling off of disks was saved improperly – or corrupted. To enable this functionality, you just need to ensure that desired databases are configured to use the CHECKSUM option for page verification – which you can set on SQL Server 2005 and above.
To do this, simply query your server as follows, and review the names of all databases returned – as they are not configured for CHECKSUM verification:
USE master GO SELECT NAME ,page_verify_option_desc FROM master .sys.databases WHERE page_verify_option_desc != 'CHECKSUM' GO
Then, to enable (or toggle) these database to use CHECKSUM verification, execute the following statement per database that you wish to 'convert' to using CHECKSUM verification:
ALTER DATABASE <dbnameHere> SET PAGE_VERIFY CHECKSUM GO
Obviously, if you've got a lot of databases that need to be 'toggled', you can wire up a simple cursor, or use a poor man's script like the following:
-- toggle to text output: CTRL + T SET NOCOUNT ON DECLARE @linefeed CHAR(2) SET @linefeed = CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) SELECT 'ALTER DATABASE ' + NAME + ' SET PAGE_VERIFY CHECKSUM ' + @linefeed + 'GO' + @linefeed + @linefeed FROM master.sys.databases WHERE page_verify_option_desc != 'CHECKSUM'
SQLKeyword">Which you can then execute – and then copy/paste the output from that query into another (or the same) query window to execute the results – as this will give you a set of ALTER statements per database as needed.
CHECKSUM – Under the Covers Once PAGE_VERIFICATION is set to CHECKSUM, SQL Server will transition to a new
CHECKSUM Calculates a checksum over the contents of the whole page and stores the value in the page header when a page is written to disk. When the page is read from disk, the checksum is recomputed and compared to the checksum value stored in the page header. If the values do not match, error message 824 (indicating a checksum failure) is reported to both the SQL Server error log and the Windows event log. A checksum failure indicates an I/O path problem. To determine the root cause requires investigation of the hardware, firmware drivers, BIOS, filter drivers (such as virus software), and other I/O path components.
Of course, WHEN you switch a database over to using CHECKSUM there is NOT some magical process or operation that goes through and 'writes' CHECKSUMs into your EXISTING pages. If there were, toggling this option could obviously cause some ugly problems. But, instead, since this is effectively a 'meta-data' change that instructs SQL Server to start using a new behavior (i.e., CHECKSUM functionality for writes and reads of previously CHECKSUM'd pages), you can safely toggle this change at pretty much any time without fear of bogging down your systems.
Of course, since this, in turn, means that you may have gobs of existing/older data that's been laying around without CHECKSUM configured, that data (or the data on those pages) will NOT end up getting CHECKSUM values until that data is finally pulled into SQL Server and then re-written. Consequently, if you want to 'force' CHECKSUMs into your pages, you'll need to do full-blown index rebuilds or other modifications that force all data to be pulled in and then rewritten. Happily, though, CHECKSUM is already on by default in new SQL Server 2005 and beyond databases. As such, the worries/concerns listed in this post about 'converting' a database to use CHECKSUM verification only apply to databases that were intentionally set to use a PAGE_VERIFICATION option other than CHECKSUM (which is possible but makes no sense) or for SQL Server2000 and below databases that have been migrated up to SQL Server 2005 and above – because moving older databases to new hosts/servers does NOT result in any implicit changes to PAGE_VERIFICATION settings.
The Benefits of using CHECKSUM for PAGE_VERIFICATION
As Books Online states, with CHECKSUM verification in place, SQL Server will raise error message 824 (checksum failure) whenever it now detects CHECKSUM problems. Granted, that doesn't mean that you'll catch corruption immediately as it happens (since CHECKSUMs are re-calculated for this error when data is read back in – instead of when it is written as such an operation would have enormous IO consequences) – but you will be notified of it as soon as it happens. Provided, of course, that you've got some sort of mechanism in place to alert you to instances where error message 824 is raised – which we'll address in our next post.

I'm trying out ScummVM on Windows Moblie right now. My device is an HTC-89OO, which has a touchscreen as well as a pull-out keyboard, and the OS version is Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. The program loads up fine (I haven't installed any games just yet) but when I attempt to use the stylus to navigate the menu, the pointer appears to move around on the opposite side of the screen. Does anybody know if I can solve this problem by myself, or is it an uncorrected program bug?
Hm, two maybe strange questions -
1/ Did you correctly calibrate your screen?
2/ Which version of Scummvm are you using? Official 1.1.1 release or the daily build?
Actually, the problem was that the touchscreen glitched up when I pulled out the mini keyboard. It works fine now, just as long as I don't use the mini keyboard on the phone.
This problem should be fixed in the latest 1.3.1 version of ScummVM (it was related to a bug in SDL, a library ScummVM uses, not ScummVM itself).
Could you please check if this works for you now, and if it doesn't, please report back in the ScummVM 1.3.1 related thread (http://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=10566)?
Mine does this only when my phone is charging (USB or wall charging both have this effect). I did not have this issue with stock ROM, but on both SS 5.4 and Cyanogenmod I have this issue.

DOVER — A judge has denied Foster's Daily Democrat's request to unseal court documents pertaining to the investigation into the death of Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott.
Dover Circuit Court Judge Stephen Morrison cited concerns about opening the documents that included the need for holding a fair trial for murder suspect Seth Mazzaglia.
Affidavits will remain sealed to the public, he wrote in his decision, due to concerns by the state that release of the information "could make new potential witnesses reluctant to come forward and aid potential suspects to avoid prosecution," according to the order issued Thursday afternoon.
"Of great concern is that if these affidavits are released, witnesses would tailor their statements to fit what they believe to be the facts of this case," his statement reads.
The decision also reiterates concerns of attorneys who argue release of the documents at this time would interfere with Mazzaglia's right to a fair trial.
Charged with second-degree murder, Mazzaglia, 29, of Dover remains held without bail at Strafford County Jail.
A request to release a redacted version of search warrant documents was denied as part of this order as well, stating this is not a case where a few names could be removed to satisfy concerns.
"It is the underlying facts and theories that are interwoven throughout the affidavit which gives rise to legitimate concerns," the decision reads. It goes on to state there has been nothing revealed in search warrant documents or court discussions which leads the court to believe there is any threat to the public at this time.
Any party may request reconsideration of the decision after 60 days.
The New Hampshire Union Leader and the Portsmouth Herald had joined Foster's Daily Democrat in requesting the affidavits be unsealed.

If you're shopping for windows, look to the National Fenestration Rating Council's (NFRC) label, which appears on all Energy Star window products. Much like the miles-per-gallon sticker on a new car, the label gives information on how well a window will perform.
The NFRC tests the full window—glass, frame, spacers, and any other component that is a permanent part of the product—providing an accurate reflection of how the product will perform. But the NFRC label can help only if you understand the ratings.
U-factor denotes the rate of heat transfer through the window unit. U-factor values generally range from 0.25 to 1.25, and the lower the number, the better the window resists heat transfer. For northern climates (see map and table), Energy Star recommends a U-factor of 0.30 or below for most window orientations and a maximum of 0.60 for windows in southern climates. Passive House Institute US (PHIUS) has more stringent recommendations to help reach overall energy savings of 60% to 70% and space-heating savings of 90%, compared to a conventionally energy-code-compliant, 2-by-4 stud-framed home. For example, PHIUS recommendations for northern climates (ASHRAE zones 4 through 8) range from a U-factor of 0.11 or less (zone 8) to 0.15 or less (zone 4).
Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC)—A window's SHGC signifies how much heat from the sun is blocked. SHGC values typically range from 0.25 to 0.80; the lower the SHGC, the more the product blocks solar heat gain. South-facing windows in passive solar homes should have the highest SHGC possible, while still having an acceptable U-factor (see "Energy Star Qualification Criteria for Residential Windows" table"). In most climates, west-facing windows need to have the lowest SHGCs to prevent heat from the summer sun from entering the home. PHIUS calls for SHGCs of 0.50 or greater for south-facing glass in climate zones 3 through 8.
Visible transmittance (VT) is the measure of how much light comes through a door or window. A number between 0 and 1, the higher the VT, the more light is transmitted. Multiple coatings on glass and suspended films between panes will enhance the unit's efficiency, but can affect a window's VT. Windows with a high VT appear relatively clear and provide sufficient daylight and unaltered views; however, they can create glare. For daylighting, choose a VT between 0.5 and 0.7 for good glare control, especially with larger windows.
Air leakage (AL) indicates the rate at which air passes through joints in the window unit. AL rates typically fall between 0.1 and 0.3 cubic feet of air per 1 square foot of window per minute. The lower the AL value, the more airtight a product is. Most industry standards and building codes specify an AL of 0.3 cfm per square foot or less. Providing the AL rating is optional for manufacturers.
Condensation resistance (CR) is how well the window resists water buildup. CR is scored on a scale from 0 to 100. The higher the CR factor, the better a product is able to resist condensation. CR is another NFRC-optional rating.

Tennis great Gene Mako dies in Calif. at 97
June 18, 2013
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tennis great Gene Mako, who won four major doubles titles and was ranked in the world top 10 during the 1930s, has died in Southern California. He was 97 years old.
The International Tennis Hall of Fame said Mako died Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The hospital confirmed his death.
Mako and his friend Don Budge won two doubles titles at Wimbledon in 1937 and 1938 and two at the U.S. Championships in 1936 and 1938.
As a singles player, Mako reached the final of the U.S. Championships in 1938, where he lost to Budge.
Before turning pro, Mako won the NCAA singles and doubles championships in 1934 while at the University of Southern California.
Mako served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.

Former Roma president Rosella Sensi has claimed the Zdenek Zeman should not have been sacked the club.
The veteran Czech was relieved of his duties after Friday's 4-2 loss to Cagliari saw them slip to eighth place in the table, having failed to win in Serie A since the turn of the year.
"I do not think the statistics justify Zeman's sacking," she told Rai Sport.
"I do not know the intern goings on, but history says Zeman should always be supported and protected until the end. I certainly would not have fired him.
"My father always said a coach should be supported until the end."
Zeman succeeded Luis Enrique in the Stadio Olimpico hot-seat, and Roselli went on to say that she would have never appointed the Spaniard over Vincenzo Montella, who had been in charge for a period the previous season.
"I would have stuck with Montella last season rather than hiring Luis Enrique. The project made of young players should have continued with him," she added."

Under Control : Governance Across the Enterprise Paperback / softback
by Jacob Lamm, Sumner Blount, William Lionel McCracken, Steve Boston, Marc Camm, Robert Zanella, Robert Cirabisi, Nancy Cooper, Galina Datskovsky, Christopher Fox
With the economic crisis that began in 2008, a long-standing trend toward increased regulation is becoming a flood.
The clamor for improved enterprise risk management and the complexity of multinational compliance present executives with a dramatically new array of challenges. Governance should offer solutions, but it is clear that yesterday's governance practices aren't up to the task.
In both design and implementation, they are too disconnected and incomplete to fully address our complex compliance and risk management puzzle.
Executives get only fragmented views of their true business performance, and inefficiencies drive up costs. The consequences of inadequate governance were demonstrated in the economic meltdown of 2008.
As the world struggles to recover from that crisis, business is now faced with a confusing array of evolving regulations, the challenge of managing compliance across multinational organizations and a new imperative for risk management that is coordinated across the enterprise.
It's clear that yesterday's governance practices don't meet today's need for centralized controls, integrated compliance and risk management and greater transparency.
The need for organizations to change-and change now-is clear. Under Control captures decades of business governance experience from many of the leading authorities at CA, Inc.
This book sets out not only to explain the essential challenges of effective business governance, but to help you build solutions for your organization based on lessons learned at CA from its customers and in its own corporate structure. From governing the organization's policies as a whole instead of in silos, to a department-by-department look at the role and impact of governance, to governing your green initiatives, to the role of the board of directors, to the importance of risk management, this book lays out some of the strategies and processes that may help your organization manage its risk and regulatory requirements. It is clear that the governance standards in the past were inadequate, and that risks have not been properly assessed or understood.
This book is a first step in solving this problem so that your organization is prepared and able to respond and thrive in today's rapidly evolving environment. Under Control is the first book published in the new CAPress imprint, a joint publishing program between Apress and CA Inc. "One of the defining factors of the first decade of the 21st century has been the increase of regulation and governance.
To explain these trends, and the various best practices for ensuring governance, enterprise IT management solutions provider CA Inc. enlisted more than a dozen subject matter experts from its ranks to contribute content.
The resulting book explores the need for broad governance, different areas where governance is important, and various ways for organizations to manage and implement compliance, including IT governance, project portfolio management, information governance and sustainability management.
The book, while largely vendor-neutral, draws on CA's experience creating governance solutions as well as managing its own governance issues." -Aaron Smith, Projects@Work

In case you were still holding your breath for the possibility that a "Friends" movie is in the works, exhale. Lisa Kudrow has some bad news for you.
Kudrow, who played airheaded Phoebe for 10 seasons on the hit NBC sitcom, recently talked to CNN about her new online series "Web Therapy" and was asked about the rumor and graphic that popped up online in April teasing a "Friends" movie.
"There was never a 'Friends' movie. Ever. So I've always known it's not happening," Kudrow said.
When she saw the tease online, which showed the ratty couch from the "Friends" set with the words, "Friends. The One With The Reunion. Thanksgiving 2014," even she was fooled for a bit.
PHOTOS: 'Friends': Where are they now?
"I went, 'Wait a minute, was I not invited? Oh, my God, maybe there is one, and I wasn't asked to do it.' I even had a moment where I believed it because everything around it looked real. It was a good setup."
But finally, Kudrow put the final nail in the "Friends" reunion coffin.
"The creators have put them to rest. NBC has. I don't know who else needs to say, 'It's really not happening.' "
But for "Friends" fans, there's always hope.

Statement of Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life
Today is a sad day for the Church as we mourn the passing of one of her greatest bishops, John Cardinal O'Connor. Every bishop takes a motto, and the Cardinal's is "There Can Be No Love Without Justice." This, indeed, was the theme of his life on earth. He both preached and lived "love" not as some vague abstraction or spiritual entity separate and disconnected from the things of this world. His, rather, was a practical and involved love, which had as its centerpiece the dignity and rights of the human person. He was an advocate for the unborn, the infirm, the immigrant, the worker, the victims of prejudice, hunger, and violence. And he did all this because he was clearly focused on and motivated by the Gospel of eternal salvation as taught by the Catholic Church. Some may be confused by what they see as "dichotomies" in the Cardinal's life. He passionately condemned the act of abortion, yet reached out to women of every age, religion, and ethnic background to give them help in crisis pregnancies. He taught clearly that homosexual activity is a sin, yet opened the State's first AIDS-only unit and personally tended to AIDS patients. These are not dichotomies at all. It all made sense to the Cardinal. What held it all together was the dignity of the human person. That dignity demands that we offer the person the full truth about the meaning of their lives, their freedom, their choices, and that we ourselves respond to that truth by serving their needs. I am particularly grateful to Cardinal O'Connor because he ordained me to the priesthood and authorized me to lead the Priests for Life movement. While a day of sadness, this should also be a day of commitment. The Cardinal constantly urged us never to be discouraged in carrying out the mission of the Church. Led by his shining example, let us redouble our efforts to bring that mission to its fulfillment.

Deep Water Horizon Oil spill has been officially not leaking since July 15th 2010. Now after a month scientists confirm the presence of a 22 mile long oil plume in the bottom of the ocean and the oil had been confirmed to have come from the Deep Water Horizon well.
The Associated Press reported "A 22-mile-long invisible mist of oil is meandering far below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, where it will probably loiter for months or more, scientists reported Thursday in the first conclusive evidence of an underwater plume from the BP spill."
The Christian Science Monitor says the plume is 700 feet thick and 22 miles long. This was found by US and Australian scientists who were on a cruise to study the impact of Deep Water Horizon. Their findings represent the most detailed picture yet of undersea plumes of oil and methane from the Gulf oil spill. The researchers were surprised by the plume's relative stability as well as by an apparent lack of activity on the part of microbes to break down the oil.
Experts believe the plume will take longer than 4 months to dissipate, government agencies have all but given BP a clean chit.
The oil is at depths of 3,000 to 4,000 feet, far below the environment of the most popular Gulf fish like red snapper, tuna and mackerel. But it is not harmless. These depths are where small fish and crustaceans live. And one of the biggest migrations on Earth involves small fish that go from deep water to more shallow areas, taking nutrients from the ocean depths up to the large fish and mammals.
"This is a highly sensitive ecosystem," agreed Steve Murawski, chief fisheries scientist for the federal agency NOAA. "The animals down at 3,300 to 3,400 feet grow slowly." The oil not only has toxic components but could cause genetic problems even at low concentrations, he said.

Latest Video from the NOAA and FWS:
What will be the effect of the oil spill and the resulting clean up?
Another thing that still worries me is the aftermath of using Corexit – the Toxic Dispersant. Earth Justice says more than 1.8million gallons of dispersants were used in the Gulf of Mexico! Dispersants were used in the Gulf in unprecedented ways and amounts, turning the Gulf into a massive experiment largely keeping the public in the dark as to the risks these dispersants pose.
After Exxon Valdez disaster Congress enacted a new law calling for advance study and approval of dispersants as part of oil spill response planning. No measures if any were taken while using Corexit and for quite sometime the ingredients in Corexit was not even available. The secret ingredients were identified only after congressional demands, media outcry and a Freedom of Information Act request filed by Earthjustice.
The only studies submitted to EPA for Corexit were acute toxicity studies (which tell you what concentration of the chemical kills 50 percent of the test subjects) for one species of shrimp and one species of fish. EPA requires no other toxicity, environmental or health studies before it makes a dispersant eligible for use.
Corexit is banned in UK, Japan, Australia, Canada and China , but it is okie to use it in the US? Does it make any sense?
Read the Write up in its entirety on Earth Justice
Watch the video on Corexit use in the Gulf of Mexico :
It will quite sometime before we understand the real impact of the oil spill on the environment. Is there a long term hazard out there which we can't envision? Only time will tell. There is not much we can do in the Gulf other than keeping fingers crossed and hoping for the best. But we can make sure this does not repeat itself by reducing our dependence on Fossil fuels. Live Green!

When the San Jose Earthquakes take the field Saturday evening against the New York Red Bulls, much of the attention paid by onlookers will justifiably be focused on the duel between strikers Chris Wondolowski and Thierry Henry. However, while MLS Golden Boot chasing exploits make for good headlines, solid defensive efforts often carry the day in the end. When scanning the landscape for signs to the Earthquakes' early-season success, one of the chief reasons defensively is none other than team captain Ramiro Corrales.
The just turned 35 year old is still making heads turn with his balance of defensive reliability and offensive creativity — qualities that can be traced back to his rookie campaign during the inaugural 1996 MLS season. Perhaps remarkably but not entirely unbelievably, Corrales is, if you excuse the three years he spent plying his trade in Europe, the last MLS Original still active in the league. And while Captain Corrales has had his achievements go largely unnoticed by all but the most ardent of MLS supporters, he is greatly respected and appreciated by the people that matter most — his teammates.
"He's been playing well all year," said Earthquakes headline maker Chris Wondolowski, the man that shares the locker next to Corrales. "He's one of those unsung heroes that hasn't received the praise he deserves. He has put in some stellar performances both defensively and offensively this year. He keeps the ball for us and acts as a catalyst in that way."
In the team's most recent game, Corrales provided the assists on both Wondolowski's equalizer and Alan Gordon's match winner as the Earthquakes battled back to overcome Vancouver Whitecaps FC, 3-1, at Buck Shaw Stadium. His game-winning assist, earned on a searching cross toward the near post that was headed home by Gordon, showed the vision the veteran brings to the team, but it was his first assist of the evening that provided all the evidence needed to realize his true worth. Coming via a long throw-in that caught the 'Caps defense unprepared and off guard, the assist on Wondolowski's goal was made possible by a play that Corrales only recently has again been able to execute.
The 17-year professional struggled for a lengthy period of time prior to 2011 with a troublesome back condition that limited the mobility necessary to mechanically achieve the long throw. Now back to full health, Corrales is making contributions to the team that must have seemed improbable not too long ago. And as the benefactor against Vancouver of what he called "such a dangerous weapon," Wondolowski was quick to praise the contributions of the veteran.
"Ramiro does such a good job of reading the game that I know I can focus on getting open and he will find me. Once I saw him pick up the ball, I knew he could use that long throw, so I made a quick move to get behind the defense. We are definitely trying to take advantage of it."
Once a dynamic 18-year-old youth star from just down Highway 101 in Salinas, Corrales made the jump to professional soccer with his selection by the Columbus Crew in the inaugural MLS draft class of 1996. Before even touching a ball as a member of the Crew, Corrales was traded to the San Jose Clash, where he made 11 appearances and throughout MLS was the youngest player to take the field that season. Selected by the Miami Fusion in the 1998 Expansion Draft, and soon after shipped to the New York MetroStars, Corrales spent three seasons in the Big Apple before returning to San Jose in early 2001. A three-year adventure in Norwegian soccer interrupted his time in Earthquakes blue, but he found his way back to San Jose in time to help rechristen the franchise prior to the 2008 season.
Now, at a healthy 35 years of age, Corrales still appears to have plenty left in the tank to keep his MLS career going strong. In fact, last season the veteran enjoyed his best year yet in a San Jose uniform in terms of minutes played — surpassed only by the career-high 2659 minutes he posted for the MetroStars in 1999 — and continued to defy detractors that claim he should have long since retired. In the early going of the 2012 season, Corrales passed the significant milestone of starting over 200 career games for the Earthquakes.
With every game that he steps on the field, Corrales extends his franchise records for appearances and minutes played, and looks no nearer to closing the book on those achievements. One player that knows a thing or two about sticking it out and seemingly getting better with age is teammate and goalkeeper Jon Busch, who wondered just what the secret was for the longevity of the last of the MLS Originals.
"He must have found the Fountain of Youth down in Salinas," quipped the consistently quotable Quakes 'keeper. "He's a tremendous captain for this team, and he leads by example. You know, he is old — and I keep telling him that — but he's been fantastic overall since I've been here. He's been tremendous and looks awesome this season."
While the unsung defensive hero and quiet on-field leader might not always make the stats sheet, Captain Corrales scores where it matters most in the admiration and respect he has earned from the players he leads on the pitch every weekend for the San Jose Earthquakes.

Host Florida beat a determined Central Michigan squad, 81-75, to capture the 2012 Gator Holiday Classic title.
Behind the strong second-half play of Tournament MVP Sydney Moss and a stellar 18-point, 10-rebound effort from Kayla Lewis, host Florida was able to turn back a determined Central Michigan squad, 81-75, to capture the 2012 Gator Holiday Classic title Friday night before an O'Connell Center crowd of 704.
It was the closest championship game since 1999, when Boston College edged Florida 66-61.
Moss, a true freshman who was the 2012 Kentucky Miss Basketball, and Lewis, a redshirt sophomore, combined to score 11 of UF's 14 points during a crucial 14-6 UF run after the Gators lost junior point guard Jaterra Bonds to fouls with 7:59 left to play while holding a 59-51 lead.
That run gave Florida (10-3) a seemingly safe 73-57 lead, but the Chippewas (5-5) kept chipping away with several steals and big hoops down the stretch with Florida's floor leader off the floor. That was before redshirt freshman guard Carlie Needles sealed the deal on UF's fifth straight win by hitting 3-of-4 free throws in the final 25.4 seconds.
Florida won despite committing a season-high 29 turnovers, overcoming them by shooting 55.4 percent from the field (31-of-56) led by Bonds (15 points), who was 7-of-8 from the field before fouling out for the first time in her UF career. Lewis was 8-of-13, and Moss was 5-of-9.
"We beat a very good team," UF head coach Amanda Butler said. "I'm proud of that. Sometimes wins aren't as pretty as we hope they would be. This one had its spots and its moments and it had its ugly spots, but we survived them, and I think for this team sometimes learning hard lessons is going to be the most valuable way to grow."
Moss, who led the Gators with 17 points in their opening-round win over Savannah State, started slowly, scoring only three points in the first half against the Chippewas before finishing with 16.
Lewis, meanwhile, was active under the basket, recording her second double-double of the season and her career while setting a new career-high in scoring, topping the 15 points she scored against Pacific two weeks ago.
"Today was just kind of suited for who I am," Lewis said. "I'm a slippery player and I just got inside the seam of that zone they played a lot. When you have great players like a Jennifer George who causes so much down low and penetrators like Sydney and Jaterra, it's easy for me to get open shots."
George, the 2011 Tournament MVP, just missed her fifth straight double-double, finishing with nine points and eight rebounds, while Needles, redshirt junior Lily Svete and freshman January Miller all added seven points apiece for UF.
The Chippewas, who had six players score in double figures in their first-round win over St. Joseph's, again showed great balance, placing five players in double digits led by senior guard Jessica Schroll's 15 points. Sophomores Jas'Mine Bracey and Jessica Green each added 12 points, with Bracey also recording a team-high eight rebounds.
The first half was a back-and-forth affair, with the Gators holding a slim 16-15 lead after a 3-pointer by CMU's Taylor Johnson with 11:11 left before halftime.
But Bonds, who hit all five of her first-half shots, keyed a 20-10 UF run the rest of the way, capping it with a buzzer-beating baseline jumper to send the Gators to the locker room up by 11, 36-25.
St. Joseph's (Pa.) had no trouble in taking care of Savannah State in the consolation game earlier, winning 88-41 to improve to 6-4 on the season.
Senior forward Chatilla van Grinsven, who had a game-high 18 points in the Hawks' opening round loss to Central Michigan, again led the way with 20 points and added six rebounds, while the Tigers (5-8) were led by forward Erin Hogue's 16 points.
Van Grinsven and Hogue joined Florida's Moss and George and Central Michigan's Schroll in earning All-Tournament honors.
UF closes out its pre-SEC schedule next Friday night at home against Holy Cross.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
The Boeing Company (BA - Free Boeing Stock Report), the world's largest aerospace/defense corporation, recently released better-than-expected September-quarter financial results. For the period, revenues were $22.1 billion, or 2% higher than our estimate. Share earnings came in at $1.51, besting our call by $0.16, and the year-earlier tally by about 12%. Continued healthy aircraft deliveries and orders, as well as increased margins and a lower share count, helped fuel the bottom line. After the announcement, Boeing's stock price rose nicely.
During the September quarter, Boeing delivered 170 commercial aircraft, compared to 149 a year earlier. This division's operating margin widened by 210 basis points, thanks to lower service costs and research & development expenditures. The company also booked 200 net orders during the interim, which brought its massive backlog to 4,800 planes valued at $345 billion.
The Defense, Space & Security division, despite the uncertainty of the U.S. Defense Budget, put in a decent showing. Revenues were $8.0 billion, up 3%, year over year. However, this segment's operating margin declined from 10.5% to 8.4%, which stemmed from higher costs and a less favorable product mix shift.
Overall, it was a good quarter for Boeing. Looking ahead, we continue to like the company's near- and long-term prospects. Although economic concerns still abound, we think that passenger air travel will continue to increase at a healthy rate over the next several years. As a result, a number of domestic and foreign carriers should possess the financial flexibility and eagerness to replace their aging fleets with new Boeing aircraft. In anticipation, Boeing ought to continue to increase production schedules for some of its most popular models, including the 737 and 777. The company's huge backlog, in our view, should support full production for many years.
The situation should only improve further now that the problems with the new 787 Dreamliner appear to be resolved. During the September quarter, Boeing delivered 23 of these technologically-advanced and fuel-efficient jets, and we continue to believe that the 787 will eventually form the backbone of Boeing's commercial aircraft portfolio. Orders for this plane now exceed 1,000, and management has already announced plans to boost production.
For 2013, due mostly to the third-quarter outperformance, we are raising our share-net estimate by $0.20, to $5.80, which would represent a year-over-year increase of more than 13%. Looking further out, we are adding a dime to our 2014 call, which now stands at $6.60 per share. We also project that share earnings will exceed $8.25 by the 2016-2018 period.
As for the equity, it has continued to perform well. In fact, year to date, the stock price has advanced more than 60%. In comparison, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has registered a gain of about 20% over the same timeframe. More recently, since our September report, Boeing stock is up 20%.
Although we are bullish in regard to the company's prospects, due to the stock's excellent run, we now feel that Boeing shares are richly valued. In fact, the stock is now trading at more than 21 times our 2013 share-net estimate, which is far higher than recent annual results, as well as our projected multiple to 2016-2018. In fact, the issue is now trading well within our Target Price Range for that period. All told, at this time, we suggest that current shareholders consider taking some profits. As for prospective investors, we recommend waiting on the sidelines until a material pullback in price occurs.
Lastly, we continue to urge all interested parties to keep tabs on the actions of Congress and the White House in regard to defense spending. This topic should remain a hot-button issue in Washington, and may cause Boeing to lose some military-related business over the next several years. That said, the company should be able to offset these losses due to its immense commercial business and significant exposure to foreign markets.
About The Company:The Boeing Company is a leading manufacturer of commercial jet aircraft. It also produces fighters (F-15, F/A-18), C-17 cargo carrier, V-22 helicopter, E-3 AWACS, E-4 command post, E-6 submarine communicator, ground transportation systems, develops the space station, and does work on the F-22 (ATF). In 2012, foreign sales accounted for 54% of overall revenues, and R&D amounted to 4% of sales.

Legion Leader Hails Supreme Court Decision on Mojave Cross as Victory for Common Sense
by Staff
April 29, 2010
"I commend the court for its decision that finally restores common sense that will enable this symbol to stand proudly as intended -- a tribute to honor American soldiers who died in World War I," said National Commander Clarence E. Hill. "This is a landmark decision that not only preserves the Mojave Desert cross, but also helps protect all memorials to our fallen heroes."
The American Legion joined as an amicus curiae (friend of the court) in action favoring preservation of the monument that resulted in the case being argued before the U.S. Supreme Court last year.
"The court reaffirmed the will of the people through Congress, which passed legislation to accommodate the cross," Hill said. "The cross should remain because Congress transferred a small plot on which it stands to a private group and addressed constitutional concerns."
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the ruling, "The goal of avoiding governmental endorsement does not require eradication of all religious symbols in the public realm. Here one Latin cross in the desert evokes far more than religion. It evokes thousands of small crosses in foreign fields marking the graves of Americans who fell in battles, battles whose tragedies are compounded if the fallen are forgotten."
However, the battle may not be entirely over. The Court remanded the case to the U.S. District Court to give it a chance to see if any other legal alternatives exist. However, the High Court reminded the District Court that: "Respect for a coordinate branch of Government forbids striking down an Act of Congress except upon a clear showing of unconstitutionality."
The cross will remain covered pending the District Court's review.
"The American Legion will continue to fight for the values and freedoms veterans gave their lives for," Hill said.
With a membership of 2.5-million wartime veterans, The American Legion was founded in 1919 on the four pillars of a strong national security, veterans affairs, Americanism, and patriotic youth programs. Legionnaires work for the betterment of their communities through more than 14,000 posts across the nation.

SETTLING FORECLOSURE COMPLAINTS: Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will pay a combined $557 million to settle federal complaints that they wrongfully foreclosed on homeowners who should have been allowed to stay in their homes.
TOTAL $9 BILLION: The banks' agreements with the Federal Reserve are similar to deals struck earlier this month with 10 other major banks and mortgage lenders. Combined, the 12 firms will pay more than $9 billion.
COMPENSATION: The settlements could compensate hundreds of thousands of Americans whose homes were seized because of abuses such as "robo-signing," when lenders automatically signed off on foreclosures without properly reviewing documents. The agreements also will help eliminate huge potential liabilities for the banks.

This summer will mark the 10th anniversary of the first iPhone.
This new anniversary iPhone is rumored to have a completely different look and potentially more expensive. According to Seventeen, "Rumors have been building for months, but a new report from Bloomberg cements the theories into an easily digestible prediction: there will be three iPhones, two of them relatively normal, one of them new and fancy. You may have to wait to get your hands on that fancy one though." No need to worry about affording it now, it is rumored that the anniversary iPhone will be announced this summer but the actual phone may not come out until a couple of months after the reveal. I can't wait for more information on the new iPhone June 29th.

Upcoming ARISS Contact Schedule as of 2003-02-11 05:00 UTC The ARISS (a joint effort of AMSAT, the ARRL, NASA, the ARISS international partners including Canada, Russia, the European Partners, and Japan) operations team wishes to announce the following very tentative schedule for ARISS school contacts.

Dave D'Onofrio's Patriots Notebook: Pats won't get fooled againBY DAVE D'ONOFRIO
Special to The New Hampshire Union Leader
June 26. 2013 9:19PM
AARON HERNANDEZ had barely begun to get his due process. He'd been arrested, not arraigned. He'd been handcuffed, not formally charged. But the Patriots weren't going to wait and see how it played out.
They'd already let Hernandez significantly shape the future of their franchise for the better part of a year. And they weren't about to let it happen for a minute more.
Let alone for the length of a murder trial.
Today marks 10 months since the Patriots and Hernandez agreed to pay the tight end up to $40 million over five years, and thus since the team's brass effectively committed to him as a cornerstone of their future.
He'd enjoyed two terrific seasons since the Patriots ignored some of the whispers coming from the shadows, and drafted the University of Florida product with a fourth-round pick. There was time remaining on his rookie deal, but the impetus to getting his signature on his extension were the indications that Hernandez would be a focal point of New England's attack under Josh McDaniels — and the price would subsequently rise steeply.
That didn't happen because Hernandez sprained his ankle in the second game, and was out or limited the rest of the season. But by then the organization had already set its course.
They'd already undertaken the process of evolving their offense in a way that capitalized on Hernandez's unique skill set. They'd already decided that Hernandez was a better choice than receiver Wes Welker in terms of who deserved their long-term loyalty.
They'd already determined that Hernandez would ultimately take Welker's role in the offense, and so — although quarterback Tom Brady cleared out some space under the salary cap by doing a team-friendly restructure of his own deal — they'd already determined that they were eminently comfortable with letting Welker walk in free agency. This spring, he did, and he took his 118 catches with him.
With Welker in Denver, with Danny Woodhead in San Diego, with Brandon Lloyd on the street, with Rob Gronkowski recovering from back and arm surgeries, and now with Hernandez in jail awaiting trial for the murder of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, the Patriots will likely open the season without the only five players who caught more than 21 passes from Brady last season, and received 338 of his 402 completions.
Gronkowski is expected to be back at some point during the season, Danny Amendola was signed to be a primary target, Julian Edelman has potential as a playmaker and veteran Jake Ballard figures to be a starting tight end — but all four been injury prone. Hernandez was supposed to be the sure thing. He was supposed to be the cog that made the engine hum. He was supposed to be the key to so much.
So it says a lot about how eager the Patriots were to distance their brand from any identification with him that they moved so fast to release him on Wednesday morning. They didn't wait for the facts of the case to be made public, or to find out if this was all somehow a misunderstanding, or even if Hernandez there was any chance a lawyer could plant doubt in the mind of a jury.
Within two hours of Hernandez' arrest the team terminated his contract — releasing a statement saying that "we believe this transaction is simply the right thing to do," and doing so with little regard for the financial ramifications. According to ESPN, by cutting ties with Hernandez Wednesday, the Pats waived their right to recover $12.5 million in bonus money, and he'll cost them more than $5 million toward the salary cap this season, then $7.5 million the year after.
But, again, they didn't want their association with him dictating decisions or lasting any longer. He had fooled them at the highest levels, not only convincing coach Bill Belichick he was a player to build an offense around, but convincing Robert Kraft that he was an ambassador of what the owner stands for.
When the Pats announced Hernandez's extension 10 months ago, Kraft spoke proudly of a "first-class guy" from Bristol, Conn. He talked about how folks should see through the tattoos, and how Hernandez had immediately donated $50,000 to the fund established in memory of the late Myra Kraft as a means of thanking Patriots ownership for believing in him.
"He didn't need to give me the amount that he gave me," Hernandez explained then, "and knowing that he thinks I deserve that, he trusts me to make the right decisions, it means a lot. It means he trusts my character, and the person I am, which means a lot, cause my mother, that's how she wanted to raise me.
"They have to trust you to give you that money. I just feel a lot of respect and I owe it back to him."
If prosecutors are right, everyone learned Wednesday exactly how Hernandez repays debts born out of trust and respect. He leaves the people who invested their faith in him with no choice but to kick him out of their stadium when he's barely been implicated, and no choice but to cut ties altogether before the justice system even has its say.
No choice but to make sure, after 10 months of building a future with him at the core, they didn't waste another minute before Aaron Hernandez was part of their past.

Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients to be absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body. Digestion is the process by which food and liquid are broken down into smaller parts so that the body can use them to build and nourish cells and provide energy.
Digestion involves:
Digestion begins in the mouth, where food and liquids are taken in and is completed in the small intestine.
The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract and other organs that aid in digestion. The digestive tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus consisting of the following:
Organs that help with digestion but are not part of the digestive tract include:
Parts of other organ systems, such as nerves and blood, also play a major role in the digestive process. In a wave-like movement, called peristalsis, muscles propel food and liquid along the digestive tract.
In general, there are six steps in the process of moving food and liquid through the digestive system:

California Suspensions Used More Against Latinos, Critics Say
LOS ANGELES – To be suspended from school used to entail getting into a fight or bringing a weapon or drugs onto campus, but nowadays they're just as likely to occur for talking back to a teacher, cursing, walking into class late or even student eye rolling.
Critics of suspensions say that the strict rules are disproportionately used against black and Latino boys and alienates the students who need most to stay in school. More than 40 percent of suspensions in California are for "willful defiance," or any behavior that disrupts class, and some say it's a catchall that needs to be eliminated because it's overused for trivial offenses.
"It's so broad it's not useful," said Marqueece Harris-Dawson, president and chief executive of the nonprofit South Los Angeles Community Coalition. "You can't quite define what it means, what it doesn't mean."
Assemblyman Roger Dickinson (D-Sacramento) earlier this year introduced a bill to remove willful defiance as a reason for suspension and expulsion. His bill, AB 2242, would replace that category with specific behaviors such as harassment, threats, intimidation, creating substantial disorder or a hostile environment.
Willful defiance is coming under scrutiny as attention focuses on whether "zero tolerance" discipline policies instituted in many schools in the 1990s are working, especially for minority students. A report by the U.S. Department of Education's civil rights office last fall found vast disparities in the use of suspensions and expulsions against students of color.
Celebrities Who Once Were Undocumented
Black students comprise 18 percent of public school enrollment nationwide, but 35 percent of suspensions and 39 percent of expulsions, the report stated.
School discipline even caught the attention of California Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye, who addressed the issue in her State of the Judiciary speech to the Legislature in March, saying she was alarmed to find out that 700,000 suspensions and expulsions were handed down statewide last year.
"You might ask, 'Why is school discipline a justice issue?' The answer is obvious — when children are not in school, studies show they are at risk of entering the juvenile justice system," she said. "Studies show that one suspension triples the likelihood of a juvenile justice contact within that year."
Most school districts across the country stipulate defiance or insubordination as a cause for discipline. The key is the punishment meted out for the offense.
Baltimore City Public Schools has managed to slash the number of suspensions from nearly 27,000 in 2003-04 to just over 11,000 in 2010-11 after extensively revising its code of conduct and disciplinary policies. A suspension for defiance is now only given if it's a repeated offense, according to district data.
In California, defiance is a key reason behind high suspension rates, particularly for black and Latino students. A University of California Los Angeles report found students of color are most often suspended for infractions relating to disrespect, defiance and disobedience.
"There's a bit of profiling that goes on, particularly with low-income African-American and Latino boys," Harris-Dawson said. "A white girl can scream and slam books on the desk and not be seen as threatening, but a black boy can do half of that and it can be taken as 'he's going to hit me.'"
For teachers, sending troublemakers to the principal's office is a necessary tool to maintain classroom discipline, said Frank Wells, Southern California representative of the California Teachers Association, who said he has not noticed an excessive use of defiance and the union has to remind teachers they can use that.
But if statistics show a disproportionate use of defiance against certain groups of students, it could indicate a cultural gap. "It's something that should be studied," he said. "But we hate to limit teachers' authority to discipline."
South Los Angeles high school senior Brett Williams said he feels teachers use defiance as an excuse not to hear the students' side. "It's like sit down and shut up," the 18-year-old said. "You're not even able to tell your story. That to them is being defiant."
A few weeks ago, Williams was not wearing his uniform shirt under a sweater after playing basketball. Told to go to the dean's office, he resisted because he was putting on his shirt and wanted to remain for the lesson. He was threatened with suspension for being defiant and sent home.
When he returned to school the next day, he had a run-in with the dean and was told he was disrespectful, rude and defiant and was sent home again.
"It escalated into two days of missing school over a uniform shirt," said Williams, adding he's determined to graduate in June despite the problems. "You can't even be treated fairly so what's the point of going to school. That's the way they made me feel."
At Garfield High School in East Los Angeles, administrators started taking a different approach to discipline after seeing a record 600 suspensions in 2004.
The 2,700-student school now has a progressive discipline system where teachers and counselors intervene before a situation reaches the dean and principal. Parents are called and offenders ordered to write apology letters, apologize publicly, or spend lunchtime in the dean's office to realize the consequences of their behavior.
Defiance is no longer a cause for suspension.
"We took the suspension quick-trigger off the menu," said Assistant Principal Ramiro Rubalcaba, who used to have students in his office for everything from chewing gum to sleeping to coming to class without a pencil. "It was the big umbrella."
Teachers, who initially balked at the new disciplinary approach, are given extra training in classroom management if they report a lot of student behavior problems.
Last year, the school had only one suspension and has had only one so far this year. With that record, Garfield has become a model for discipline reform, and is now regularly visited by administrators from other high schools and even state lawmakers.
When seniors Jamie Rodríguez and Janaye Esparza got into a fight during drill team practice earlier this year — grounds for suspension at most high schools — their parents were called in, they were banned from the team for a week, spent lunch in the dean's office and were counseled on getting along.
Mexicana Flight Attendants Turned Calendar Girls Feud after Success
"We learned to keep our distance and respect each other," Janaye said. "We ignore our differences."
Both girls said the toughest punishment was sitting out drill team. "That was hard," Jamie said. "It was something I really worked for."
Rubalcaba said he's found that students respond more to the removal of privileges than being sent home to watch TV.
"They like being suspended on Thursday so they have a three-day weekend," he said. "Suspending is now the last option."

Is it possible to fix an inefficient latch in a 3 month old? Is it too late?
My nipple has always been lipstick shaped after nursing, but I was told by the IBCLC in the hospital that she'd likely grow into a better latch, and then was told by a LLL leader that as long as I wasn't in pain and she was growing, we didn't need to worry about it.
Well, now my oversupply has regulated (possibly a little too low) and she seems to be having trouble transferring milk efficiently. When I ha oversupply she didn't need a strong latch or suck, but now she does. She's still producing enough wets and good poops, but her weight gain hasn't been as good as before. Last week it was just 4 ounces. Thr week before was 7oz, but before that it was 5oz. She used to be consistently 7 ounces every week. N
Beyond the weight issue, she's also fussy at the breast. I mentioned this in other posts, but on Dr. Newsman's advice, I am working to increase my supply to increase the "flow" because he thinks that's the root of her fussiness/popping off constantly. We'll see. It sounds like he wants me basically at a slight oversupply in order for the flow to be fast enough for her happiness and to make up for a less than ideal latch.
So, I've watched latching videos and such and we're working with a new IBCLC. However, it just seems like she refuses to take the breast any further in than before. Also, her suck has never felt very strong. Can anything be done to strengthen a suck?

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- The sultanate of Oman has asked the United States for weapons systems for its F-16 A/C Fighting Falcon aircraft through a Foreign Military Sales package.
The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency, in its notification to Congress, said the $117 million deal includes associated equipment, parts, training and logistical support.
"The proposed purchase of munitions will improve Oman's capability to meet current and future regional threats and will provide a significant increase in the Royal Air Force of Oman's capability to support both its own air defense needs as well as those of coalition operations," the agency said.
"This potential sale is in support of RAFO's current 12 F-16s as well as its ongoing acquisition of 12 additional F-16s."
The systems requested: 27 AIM-120C-7 advanced medium range air-to-air missiles; 162 GBU-12 PAVEWAY II 500-lb. laser guided bombs; 162 FMU-152 bomb fuses; 150 BLU-111B/B 500-lb. conical fin general purpose bombs; 60 BLU-111B/B 500-lb. retarded fin general purpose bombs; and 32 CBU-105 wind corrected munitions dispensers.
The principal contractors for the contract would be Raytheon, Textron Defense Systems, General Dynamics and the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant in Oklahoma.

Link gratitude: Where I find my best stuff
Merlin Mann | Jun 18 2007
I always try to credit the source for stuff that I link to when I've learned about it from other sites. In addition to helping my readers connect with voices they may not have heard before, I believe it's just the classy thing to do. (I'm looking at you, "A Listers" -- a lot of you have started dropping vias for everyone but your highest-profile buddies: tacky, tacky).
Anyway, I admit that I'm not 100% either, but in the interest of trying to make good, here are a few of the sites that I find myself reading and linking to a lot. Thanks to their authors and contributors for sending me (and you) to so many interesting places.
I'm sure I've forgotten someone and will be back to add more folks the minute I hit "Submit," so please bear with me.
But, what do you think? Did I miss anyone? Who do I glean links from all the time? Got a great resource I might be missing? (No self-links for this one, please)
