LOUISVILLE, Ky. - (Business Wire) MaximumASP, a Microsoft Gold Certified Provider of web hosting and managed IT services, is featured in the Microsoft Heroes Happen Here Portrait Book for their significant impact in bringing new technologies to market. "MaximumASP's participation in the 2008 Global Launch Wave is another example of our tight knit relationship with Microsoft," said Chris Morrow, CIO at MaximumASP. "As with previous Microsoft web-related technologies, we will continue to be early adopters, whether that is testing and offering a new product like IIS 7 or SQL Server 2008 in its beta stage, or helping launch a new product to the public as we are now doing with Windows Server 2008." MaximumASP has immediate availability of all four of the new Windows Server 2008 Editions as options in its dedicated server product line-up.
McCain wins Bush backing, bucks
Many are just now beginning to dial up large donors for contributions to Mr. McCain.
"A lot of them have gotten plugged in with us in the last couple of weeks," said Charlie Black, a Republican strategist who is now one of Mr. McCain's top advisers. The Bush endorsement "is message to them that if you're still on the sidelines, you need to help."
More importantly, the McCain team has enlisted Mercer Reynolds, the finance chairman for Mr. Bush's re-election campaign, to help bring in cash.
Mr. Reynolds, who recently said he plans to rebuild his fundraising team, raised nearly $260 million for the president's 2004 bid.
"Mercer's already lined up a lot of the top Bush fundraisers," Mr. Black said.
Republicans have traditionally far outraised Democrats in presidential campaigns, but the opposite has been true this cycle.
Bozeman boys basketball: Hawks deal Sentinel first loss in sloppy ...
Perhaps Bozeman just needed to see how it was done. ERIK PETERSEN/CHRONICLE Bozeman's Gabe Rucker made the game-winning layup with three seconds remaining to hand Missoula Sentinel its first loss of the season. How an underdog might ground a high-flying favorite with nothing but defense and rebounding. How a team, undersized and stumbling, would find a way to stick around for that last shot.Tough-luck C.M. Russell had done it to Bozeman a week earlier. On Saturday in Bozeman's South Gym, it was the Hawks' turn as they dealt top-ranked Missoula Sentinel its first loss of the season, 36-35.Probably to Bozeman's advantage, it was anything but pretty, a defensive slog that negated Sentinel's up-tempo tendencies.The Spartans entered the game averaging a Class AA-high 77.5 points per game and were outscoring their opponents by 25 a game.

Electric chair, likened to torture, declared unconstitutional
Connolly said physicians determined the man was still alive after the first jolt. A second jolt was administered, causing heavy brown smoke to fill the room, the judge said."This shows the current protocol will continue the mutilation of prisoners’ bodies," he wrote. "It also supports the district court’s conclusion that some prisoners will be tortured during electrocutions."Connolly said the court could not rule the electric chair unconstitutional under the U.S. Constitution, since that court has sanctioned its use.But the federal court’s rulings on the electric chair, based on the one it rendered in the 1890 New York case, were based on an "equal protection," or 14th Amendment analysis, and not an Eighth Amendment one, Connolly said."Therefore, the Court did not decide the (New York) case under the Eighth Amendment and there was scant evidence about electrocution in 1890," Connolly wrote.He said the U.S.
Last-minute robo-call blast from Romney: Huckabee and McCain in ...
In an indication that this Republican primary race will remain tight through the night, we've got a Cobb County home that at 6:10 p.m. received a robo-call from the Mitt Romney campaign, referencing the James Dobson condemnation on the Laura Ingraham radio program. (Click here for previous post). The phone message, sent out a mere 50 minutes before polls closed, quoted Dobson, founder of the evangelical Focus on the Family organization: 'I'm deeply disappointed the Republican party seems poised to select a nominee who did not support a constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage, who voted for embryonic stem cell research to kill nascent human beings, who opposed tax cuts that ended the marriage penalty, and who has little regard for freedom of speech, and has a legendary temper and often uses foul and obscene language." This seems like a good place to remind readers that, at least technically, McCain is a former sailor.
EMC and SAP plan a romp in the clouds
EMC may partner with German software giant SAP to develop a suite of web hosted storage and application services. In an interview with Reuters, SAP executive Doug Merritt said the two companies are in early-stage talks to add SAP's business applications to EMC's burgeoning software-as-a-service (SaaS) storage platform. Both companies are mum on any technical or financial details of the proposed collaboration. But let's look at how things lay. In January, EMC unveiled MozyEnterprise, the first offering in its new hosted software line dubbed "Fortress." The online backup and recovery suite is based on technology acquired from Berkeley Data Systems last October. EMC made sure to point out Mozy is only the first step in expanding the SaaS operation.
