Reviewer: Rob Wehrli
In my quest for a formidable relational database management system that would run under Linux I came across a pair of applications that fit my wish list very well. I needed a database that was fast and easy to use, set up and manage. The system had to work in an Internet/Intranet environment, support multiple users and be vastly configurable. The cost had to be within my budget.
I tested Empress RDBMS first. Marketed for Linux, it includes several features that make it a clear choice for discriminating individuals and businesses who can afford it. I then tested Just Logic Technologies' Just logic/SQL RDBMS, a product which does not include as many bells and whistles, but does offer core functionality for about a third of the price of Empress.
The first thing I noticed when the Empress package arrived at my door was 18 bound and 7 unbound (loose-leaf) manuals. This documentation set is fully cross-referenced and includes titles for the core server installation, server management and administration, client utilities, 4GL application development platform, web server interface, ODBC driver, SQL reference, GUI Builder and much more. The manuals are printed in easy-to-read fonts with page numbers in bold and chapter data included on every right-side page. Each manual includes a complete index and a diagram with the entire documentation roadmap directing attention to the order in which manuals should be consulted. Empress gets a resounding "A+" for their documentation and additional kudos for complete man pages that complement their hard-copy documents.
Installing Empress from the installation diskettes requires basic Unix system administration experience. While the installation documentation is complete, the diskettes included a broken cpio command on the label. Nothing too difficult to overcome—merely an annoyance in an otherwise outstanding presentation. Installation of the Empress GUI Development and Runtime requires installation of Motif (libXm) libraries and knowledge of the path to their locations. Unfortunately, I was unable to test this feature of the Empress product bundle as my a.out-based Motif libraries were not recognized by the installation program.
Dismissing the minor installation difficulties and getting to the meat and potatoes of testing Empress left me pleased with the package contents. Several utilities, such as the interactive SQL interface and the dBase file import and export programs, provided me with considerable appreciation for the talent and foresight of the Empress development group. While every SQL interface is "interactive", Empress is truly interactive in that it is capable of, among other things, prompting the user during table design for specific table attributes and for related variables. This is enough to excite even the most placid DBA. If you use the empsql interface for inserting data, it prompts for user input and is useful as a front end for data input by non-programmers.
Plugging Empress into my particular application required little more than prototyping a database in Access 7.0 and using the ODBC driver to export the tables to Empress. This worked with numeric data types quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, the Access text data type produces problems when exporting tables from Access to an Empress database. I did receive a prompt reply from Empress' e-mail support claiming that this anomaly is due to different definitions of text data types between Access and Empress and that Access cannot export text attributes to Empress because of this dissimilarity. It seems to me that Empress should develop a workaround for developers using Empress ODBC and Access for database prototyping. Working without a text data type is not a viable option. One solution for those DBAs using Access is to export data from Access to a dBase or comma-delimited text file, then import to Empress using their fine import utilities. I also found no support for varchar data types.
The first databases I built were simple tests to see how well the Empress utilities produced desired output. Empress performed flawlessly, and the Interactive SQL tool is a real glowing ember in a crowded fireplace of functional components. Their empsql and supporting configuration files allows for custom user configuration, much the same as configuring an e-mail reader. For example, I selected joe as my SQL editor instead of the default vi for console-based edits.
Testing the speed of the database with data imported from a combination of Empress utilities was very straightforward. I decided that several joined tables and multiple nested queries would provide a good performance test. Empress produced results far above my expectations. I was suitably impressed with the raw speed at which Empress rushed data back to the screen. A search of 810,000 records, where several calculations, conversion of data types and summing and ordering of resultant sets was required, completed in less than 15 minutes. By comparison, the same query on an SQL server machine(1) took about 28 minutes.(2)
Incorporation of an Empress database into a web environment is accomplished without hassle using their DataWEB package. Writing HTML forms with Empress extensions to query the database is straightforward for anyone with a little HTML experience. My Red Hat 4.0 system, installed with the supplied Apache httpd server, integrated quite nicely.
My final test, which says as much about Linux as it does about Empress, included flipping the power switch to the off position in the middle of a query. After several minutes of waiting while fsck fixed my purposely distorted file system, Empress recovered without any noted glitches. Of course, I was hoping to crash the database to test the on-line backup utility, but it would not crash. I didn't get mad—I got even. I deleted the database, and it restored quickly and without incident. I was ready to query once more.
Empress also includes a report writer that I was unable to test due to scheduling limitations.
Lacking in Empress is much of what is lacking from many commercial RDBMS products today, full SQL-92 support. A point-and-click management tool would be nice and even recommended, since it is standard fare with Microsoft's SQL Server. Considering the cost of the Empress package that I tested is about $1500, it is a bit expensive when compared to the cost of a typical Linux distribution. However, the ease of use of its utilities and the completeness of its documentation man pages and on-line help make it a good choice in the professional world. It is a remarkable product that will benefit the many Linux users who find it a perfect fit for their needs.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Coroner pledges to find answers after body is found with slash wounds
12:12pm Tuesday 27th November 2012 in News
THE Black Country coroner has vowed to find answers after slash marks were discovered after death on the wrist of a Lye man who shot himself.
Stephen Round, known as Elvis, was found dead on the floor of his bedroom in Malvern Avenue, Lye, on March 27, with a 5.5mm air rifle placed on the bed alongside a note.
The 37-year-old had shot himself in the right side of his head.
Two letters found at the scene suggested he was feeling low over the death of his long-term partner two years ago.
Dudley Coroner's Court heard a post-mortem confirmed Mr Round's death was due to a gunshot wound to the head, but Mr Round's family, who attended the hearing, questioned why no mention had been made of slash wounds on his arms - which they discovered when they visited Mr Round in the chapel of rest the day before his funeral.
His sister, Angela Round, of Merryfield Road, Russells Hall, said: "The day before his burial we went to see him, my cousin pulled down the covers to see the football top we had taken for him to wear when she pointed out the marks running up his wrists on both arms which had both been wrapped in cling film. We all saw the marks."
However coroner Robin Balmain said he was "puzzled" at the family's claim, as there was no report of Mr Round having slashed wrists at the time of his death - and he permitted Miss Round to view photographs of her brother's body, which she confirmed did not show the wounds.
Pathologist Dr Sixto Batitang also verified there were no arm wounds when he carried out the post-mortem two days after Mr Round's death.
Mr Balmain said: "Sometimes inquests don't answer all the questions you need to know and this is probably the case here.
"This is outside my realm but I'm prepared to do something about this as I'm puzzled about the arm injuries. It seems to me the answer must lie either at the mortuary or the undertakers. I will make some enquiries to this particular question as it is puzzling.
"It hasn't been a factor in his death, nevertheless he is still entitled to be treated with dignity."

Plainview residents awoke to widespread devastation all over the community Tuesday in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy's brutal winds.
Toppled trees were all over town, on main roads and side streets after hurricane-force winds tore across Long Island overnight. Homes and cars have suffered significant damage and thousands in Plainview are without power.
There were long lines at the businesses that were open around town. Bagel Boss on South Oyster Bay Road had a line out the door (see our photo) and at least one Dunkin' Donuts was doing a thriving morning business.
Earlier, Manetto Hill Road was blocked by a giant tree that has fallen across the entire roadway at Devonshire Court.
Old Country Road had a tree blocking all but one lane of the roadway. Tree limbs are scattered all over the community Tuesday morning.
Plainview firefighters have been working through the night addressing emergency situations. They have been cutting trees and securing areas affected by downed wires. They responded to Opal Drive, just north of Plainview Hospital, Tuesday morning, to cut apart a tree resting on a resident's car.
The car is ruined, but no one was hurt.
Across the entire some 102,960 customers were without power Tuesday morning. That means that merely 20,000 LIPA customers still had power.
There are no reports of injuries in Plainview. Across Long Island, two deaths were reported, including a man struck by a tree limb in Roslyn.
Officials continue to warn residents to stay off the roads. The LIRR and all of MTA is shut down. Major New York City bridges are closed to all but emergency workers.
Late Monday night in Plainview many homes were illuminated by flickering candles and dim lanterns as the winds howled and branches flew like projectiles. The luckier ones were powered by generators.
Almost nothing was open around town Monday night. The Hess station across from Plainview Hospital was still selling gasoline. ShopRite was still stocked, but grocery clerks were pulling perishable foods from their shelves about 6 p.m. If a power outage occurred overnight, the meat and dairy would be protected in cold storage rooms.
Traffic lights, many darkened without power, swung wildly in the wind.
Plainview Firefighters were called to numerous homes for wires down and other emergencies. The northbound side of Route 135, just before the Old Country Road exit, was blocked by a large tree taking up two of the expressway's three lanes.
Residents have submitting their own pictures of local devastation.
This is a breaking story; Patch will update this report as new information becomes available.

Courier Staff Writer
The walls seem to be closing in on juvenile shelters across the state as bed after bed is taken away due to a lack of funding.
Tracey Boxx-Vass, executive director of American Home Finding Association, as well as Judy Davidson, director of the Agency Shelter, traveled to the Iowa House earlier this month to speak with state Rep. Mary Gaskill, D-Ottumwa, about increasing state funding for shelter care.
They requested a 5 percent increase in statewide emergency juvenile shelter funding.
"There's no fluff in that," Boxx-Vass said. "It's a survival request. This doesn't in any way, shape or form make us whole."
The governor's fiscal year 2014 budget cut $458,000 from shelters, she said, reducing the number of shelter beds statewide by 14 to 17.
The Iowa Senate has restored shelter funding in its budget, though the Iowa House's budget made cuts even more severe than were originally proposed in the governor's budget.
"Child welfare has been sustaining cut after cut after cut," Boxx-Vass said. "At this point, we can't sustain any further cuts. An increase is needed just to keep in business."
Since 2007, 95 beds have been cut statewide, according to the Coalition for Family & Children's Services in Iowa, which has been leading the charge alongside the Iowa Department of Human Services to "right-size" the shelter bed system in the state.
Right now, the Agency Shelter has 15 beds, though it is only contracted for 10 and only gets paid for 10. The shelter also has three unallocated beds.
"We get paid for the 10 no matter what," Davidson said. "But we have to get permission to use the three beds before we get paid."
A 5 percent increase would not "by any means cover our costs," Boxx-Vass said, but it would keep the shelter from going out of business.
The pair have discussed the issue with area legislators, including Gaskill, as well as state Reps. Curt Hanson, D-Fairfield, and Dave Heaton, R-Mount Pleasant.
Gaskill said she empathizes with the shelters.
"They haven't had an increase for quite awhile and I think it's time that they have one, and I'm going to do all that I can to see if we can make that happen," she said. "It's pretty tough out there for nonprofits trying to provide services for people."
She said when the Democratic-controlled Senate's version comes to the Republican-controlled House, "more than likely the House will substitute their bill for the Senate bill."
"So it'll probably go to a conference committee or just sit there, and nobody will do anything because in that budget there is also Medicaid expansion money, so there's a lot of controversy about that bill," Gaskill said.
Children from across Iowa
The shelters now fall under the umbrella of CWES (Child Welfare Emergency Services), as opposed to being stand-alone as they were in the past.
Agency Shelter covers nine counties in southeast Iowa, though it does sometimes take in children from outside its service area.
Shelters across the state have had to close due to budget cuts, including Davenport's shelter. Some children from that region are now trickling into the Agency Shelter. The problem is when children are transferred across the state, they don't have access to their parents, which is sometimes critical.
"One kid said he was going to a shelter two hours away, but he needed to work on problems with his mom and couldn't," Boxx-Vass said.
The real goal is to keep children out of shelters, Davidson said, because they're "the end of the line."
Shelters receive referrals from DHS, juvenile court officers and law enforcement. Children come to shelters when they have no place else to go, when they can't be held at a hospital, when there's no family or when foster care has repeatedly failed.
Common thread
"And we've seen a progression in the types of kids getting more and more challenging," Boxx-Vass said.
The children they see today have mental health problems — sometimes with multiple diagnoses — are sometimes very violent and have very low IQs.
Two types of children come in: juvenile delinquents or those from child welfare services.
"These kids have unique stories but there's a common thread," she said. "There's neglect, abuse. They've seen well beyond what they should have in their youth. For the average citizen, we all live in our own worlds pretty comfortably. People cannot imagine what these kids have been through — it's amazing some have even lived."
Part of the shelter's struggle is taking in those children that have been discharged from higher-level institutions, such as PMIC (Psychiatric Medical Institution for Children).
"The amazing thing is that some kids that could not be maintained at high-levels do well here," Boxx-Vass said.
That success is in part due to the shelter's staff and their longevity.
"It's a high-stress job, and they're not paid as well as they should be," she said. "But they show the kids love and nurturing that maybe they've never got their entire lives. Kids will come back and tell us this is the best place they've ever been. If we do anything here, I hope we make them feel loved."
Children at the shelter complete a point system, where every task is accounted for and given points, which can allow them different opportunities, such as off-grounds visits. The shelter also makes sure to get the children involved in the community, volunteering at area organizations.
But the point system doesn't work for every child. A recent child only had an IQ of 60 and was extremely violent, "so we have to modify it," Boxx-Vass said.
Sometimes children will stay at the shelter for only a few days; others have stayed for nearly six months.
"One recently, his mom had died of a drug overdose, and he had been sexually abused by his father and brother," Boxx-Vass said. "Those are pretty common stories we hear at the shelter."
Davidson said with more than 20 years experience with DHS, she has seen how scared some of these children are, especially when they're picked up to be transferred elsewhere.
"How scary to have no control over your life," Boxx-Vass said.
Many come to the shelter with only the clothes on their back.
"Like the fire department, they never know how many fires they're going to have in a day ... we never know how many kids we'll get in a day," Boxx-Vass said.
High-stress, low pay
The shelter's 17 staff rotate between three shifts with two people generally working the overnight shift.
"Each year, insurance costs go up, we have to pay for property damage, get more sophisticated computer equipment and train staff," Boxx-Vass said.
Allowable growth should be considered for shelters, she said.
"Our expenses keep going up," she said. "And we have to keep quality, trained staff, who are committed and are highly educated. If we're paying them a dollar or two above what they'd make in fast food ... wow."
A bright future is possible
Many of the children are now "shining examples" that your "past doesn't have to dictate where you're going," Boxx-Vass said. A 13-year-old that watches a 20-year-old who used to be at the shelter graduate from high school and go to college can have hope for his or her own future.
"We're with them around the clock," Davidson said. "We know their needs."
The community has rallied around the shelter, they said. They've seen an outpouring of gifts and donations from businesses, churches and individuals.
"First Presbyterian wanted a list from each kid [for Christmas]," Boxx-Vass said. "They didn't want to give them generic gifts."
Everyone at the shelter is thankful, she said, because money for things such as gifts and trips to the movies or restaurants just are not in the budget anymore.
"What would happen to these kids if we don't have the shelter beds?" Davidson said. "We're full now, and we're still getting calls."

Hot bubbly, oozing cheese, who could ask for anything better on a cold winter's night? It was only made better by the fact I was out of milk and only had half & half instead. Oh well, such is life. I can't really say I was overly impressed with the panko crumbs. They didn't really add anything to the flavor. Next time I'll stick with the regular bread crumbs, or better yet, the tried and true potato chip crumbs.

Dr. Perricone's legacy began with his initial quest to find ways to prevent and reverse the negative effects of chronic and sub-clinical inflammation which he asserted was the cause of ageing and disease. His inflammation theory was initially viewed as "radical" but Dr. Perricone's pioneering research on the subject brought it into mainstream thinking.
Dr. Perricone's inflammation theory inspired him to establish Perricone MD in 1997 and introduce to the world a ground-breaking approach to impede and even help repair damage to skin utilizing nutrient antioxidants in cosmeceutical formulations. These advanced anti-ageing topical treatments set a new industry standard for product efficacy with results that often rival more invasive dermatological procedures.
Dr. Perricone has become the leading authority on the science of beautiful skin. His groundbreaking formulations with Cold Plasma, Acyl-Glutathione and Vitamin C Ester 15, continue to raise the bar for what people have come to expect from skincare and further cement Perricone MD as global leader in the world of prestige skincare led by innovation, research and science.
Dr. Perricone's lifelong passion for science is the foundation to his dedicated commitment to unlocking the secrets to healthy ageing. It continues to inspire him to introduce revolutionary technologies that will forever transform the face of skincare and get us one step closer to the fountain of youth.

Women soldiers sue military to remove bulletproof glass ceiling
- By Adam Martin
- The Wire
- May 24, 2012
- Leave a comment
The U.S. military doesn't allow women to serve in front-line combat roles, which is not only sexist, it's not realistic, say two women who are suing to get the ban removed.
The interesting part of the argument from Army reservists Jane Baldwin and Ellen Haring is their point that there's no such thing as the "linear battlefield" anymore. "Woman are currently engaged in direct combat, even when it is not part of their formally assigned role," the suit says, according to Bloomberg. Women already serve as support staff for combat units, such as tank mechanics, signal corps, and medical jobs, and they face combat conditions even though they're not officially assigned to fight, the lawsuit says.
As a Time Battleland's Darlene M. Iskra pointed out earlier this month, combat experience bolsters a soldier's resume, especially in the Army, which means preventing women from participating in front-line positions hinders their military career potential, the suit claims. It's like a bulletproof glass ceiling.

|GIRL SCOUTS OF MAINE: (888) 922-4763Home | Search | Calendar | GSUSA
|Juliette Gordon Low
Founder of Girl Scouts
When Juliette Gordon Low founded the first Girl Scout troop in Savannah, Georgia in 1912, women were less equal than men by law.
Juliette Low knew that change would only come if girls' attitudes and expectations changed and if they would move forward to influence others.
She realized that learning how to build a fire wasn't the most important thing for girls but, once they had done it, it would stay with them forever. And when a girl taught someone else to do it, she would know it on a whole new level.
Then it wouldn't be about the fire anymore. It would be about the certainty within each girl that she could pass her knowledge on, like a spark, and when it catches, she would know anything is possible.
Girl Scouts of the USA was chartered March 16, 1950 and today the organization has over 3.4 million members throughout the United States, including U.S. territories, and in more than 90 countries through USA Girl Scouts Overseas.
In 2004, Girl Scouts of the USA began a process to assure the future success and growth of Girl Scouts in the 21st Century. The Core Business Strategy included a nationwide realignment of Girl Scout councils.
As part of the realignment process, on October 1, 2007, Maine's two legacy councils - Abnaki Girl Scout Council, and Girl Scouts of Kennebec Council - merged to become Girl Scouts of Maine. The result is a high capacity organization that serves girl and adult members statewide and offers an expanded list of programs and resources.
|United Way of Androscoggin County, United Way of Aroostook,
United Way of Eastern Maine, United Way of Greater Portland,
United Way of Kennebec Valley, United Way of Mid Coast Maine, United Way of Mid-Maine, United Way of the Tri-Valley Area,
United Way of York County, and United Way of Oxford County.
The Legacy Girl Scouts of Kennebec Council
(1963 – 2007)
Girl Scouts of Kennebec Council was chartered in October 1963 – the result of a merger of eleven councils and sixty-eight lone troop communities in the ten counties of southwestern Maine. The first troops on record in this area were active in Augusta circa 1917.
Located in South Portland, the administrative office, the Ekdahl Center, was dedicated on October 27, 1991 in memory of Ingrid Ekdah. Ekdahl was instrumental in the design and location of the new center and served as Executive Director of Kennebec Council from 1981 to 1991.
Kennebec Council's jurisdiction covered approximately one-third of the State of Maine including Androscoggin, Cumberland, Franklin, Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln, Oxford, Sagadahoc, Somerset and York counties.
Kennebec Council employed 40 staff who served approximately 15,000 girl and adult members. Seasonal staff supports the council's camp programs.
In addition to the administrative center, the council owned three camp properties: Camp Kirkwold, in Readfield; Camp Pondicherry in South Bridgton; and Camp Scelkit on Gerrish Island, Kittery Point.
Joan McDonald served as the final CEO of Kennebec Council and Natalie Burns was President of the Board of Directors.

Comets win tri-match
- Last Updated on 08:37 AM 09/10/12
- BY Joe Chandler
The Halifax County High School golf team won a three-team non-district match Thursday at Bassett Country Club as a tune-up for today's next-to-last regular season Western Valley District tournament at Danville Country Club.
Halifax County High School came in with a 330 total in Thursday's match, with Bassett High School following with a 348 total and GW finishing third with a 393 total.
Peter Gasperini led the Comets' effort with a round of 76. He was followed in order by Joey Gasperini (84), Tyler Holt (85) and Josh Irby (85) as those four scores were counted toward the team total.
Anna Carole Cole also played for the Comets, and came in with a round of 92.
"We didn't play our best, but we will take the win," said Comets Head Coach David Graham.
"This was the first time our players have seen the course. It was added experience for our players. We found some things we needed to work on for Monday's district match and we'll get those things taken care of."
On Tuesday, the Comets participated in a tournament hosted by E.C. Glass High School at Colonial Hills Country Club in Lynchburg that included all five Western Valley District schools.
The Comets' "B" team participated in that event, with the Comets finishing fourth in the six-team event with a 354 total.
Chase Oakes led the Comets with his round of 83. Alex Tepper's round of 88, a round of 89 from Robert Guthrie and a round of 94 from Ryan Powell were the four scores that were counted toward the Comets' team total.
Chase Wilkerson and Hunter Watts both came in with a round of 99.
Patrick Henry High School won the event with a 316 total. Host E.C. Glass High School finished second with a 323 total and Franklin County High School finished third with a team total of 327.
Halifax County High School (354), GW (393) and William Fleming High School (425) rounded out the field.

[JURIST] The UK Parliament Justice Committee [official website] released a reinvestment report [text] on Thursday urging the prison populations in England and Wales to be reduced by a third. The committee found that incarceration is a relatively ineffective way of reducing crime except for serious offenders, and the amount of repeat offenders could be more efficiently reduced through rehabilitation programs such as housing, employment, education, and drug and alcohol services. The Ministry of Justice, which is currently spending £4.2 billion on a new prison, claims that its current strategy of longer prison sentences, which incorporate rehabilitation services, is working and the number of repeat offenders has declined. According to the report, the new prison is a "costly mistake" and funds would be better allocated to local public services outside of the prisons.
We believe that that if reform, rehabilitation and reparation to victims were given higher priority, then sentencing and penal policy overall could make a much more significant contribution to reducing re-offending and making communities safer. We see risks that the direction of current policy will increase pressure on the prison estate, negating the valuable work on offender reform that does take place in prison, particularly for those in custody for over two years. It seems equally clear that, as matters stand, the probation service will also be overwhelmed by demand for resettlement services in relation to those coming out of prison, let alone the effective management of offenders in the community.

How to Place Points and Fractions on a Unit Circle
To work with trigonometry functions, it's helpful to be able to place points and fractions on a unit circle. The unit circle is a circle with its center at the origin of the coordinate plane and with a radius of 1 unit.
Any circle with its center at the origin has the equation x2 + y2 = r2, where r is the radius of the circle. In the case of a unit circle, the equation is x2 + y2 = 1. This equation shows that the points lying on the unit circle have to have coordinates (x- and y-values) that, when you square each of them and then add those values together, equal 1.
The coordinates for the points lying on the unit circle that intersect the two axes are (1,0), (–1,0), (0,1), and (0,–1). These four points (called intercepts) are shown in the preceding figure.
The rest of the points on the unit circle aren't as nice and neat as those you see in the preceding figure. They all have fractions or radicals — or both — in them. For instance, the point
lies on the unit circle. Look at how these coordinates work in the equation of the unit circle:
If you square each coordinate and add those values together, you get 1.
Any combination of these two coordinates, whether the coordinates are positive or negative, gives you a different point on the unit circle. They all work because, whether a number is positive or negative, its square is the same positive number. Here are some combinations of those two coordinates that satisfy the unit-circle equation:
Another pair of coordinates that works on the unit circle is
because the sum of the squares is equal to 1:
The numbers that continually crop up as coordinates of points on the unit circle are
They should look familiar — they're the sine and cosine values of the most common acute-angle measures. The following figure shows the locations of those points on the unit circle.
The points on the unit circle shown in the preceding figure are frequently used in trigonometry and other math applications, but they aren't the only points on that circle. Every circle has an infinite number of points with all sorts of interesting coordinates — even more interesting than those already shown. If you're looking for the coordinates of some other point on the unit circle, you can just pick some number between –1 and 1 to be the x- or the y-value and then solve for the other value. All these other coordinates come into play when you're drawing a ray that starts at the unit circle's center and want to find the trig functions of the angle formed by that ray and the positive x-axis.

Essex: UPDATE: Overturned lorry closes part of A12
Updated 1:26pm Thursday 24th January 2013 in News
Police are still advising drivers to avoid the A12 northbound at Galleywood after a crash involving a lorry and Ford Focus this morning.
They estimate the northbound track will be closed for another couple of hours whilst the road is cleared.
One lane is open on the southbound track.
The collision just after 6.30am this morning resulted in the lorry driver being taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Ambulance service spokesman Gary Sanderson said: "On our arrival, the lorry driver was found trapped in the cab by his legs and the steering wheel.
"Paramedics and hazardous area response team operatives worked extremely hard to treat, stabilise and immobilise him before he was taken to Basildon Hospital for further care."
The overturned lorry has shed its load of bricks on the carriageway.

Synth-pop heroes Depeche Mode are set to release Delta Machine, their 13th studio album and first since 2009, on March 26th on Columbia Records. Take a look at the making of the album (available for pre-order now) in this exclusive short documentary.
Shot over the course of several months in New York, New Orleans and Santa Barbara, the documentary includes behind-the-scenes footage of the band putting together the new Delta blues-inspired LP that frontman Dave Gahan describes as "crawling, a bit sleazy, a bit dirty." The video also previews a handful of tunes set to appear on the new record, including the harrowing "Goodbye" and the swampy pop of "Soothe My Soul" – the latter's grimy main riff you can see member Martin Gore plunking out in the studio.
Depeche Mode Preview New Music on 'Letterman'
In the clip, the band also discusses their songwriting process, which typically starts with Gore's demos that the rest of the band build upon. Says Gore, "It's obvious that when we get together and Dave starts singing the songs that I've demoed at home, it doesn't matter how good the demo is. The moment Dave's voice goes on it, it kinda gives it a sense of approval and a stamp of authority." Depending on the song, the band will work around either an instrumental riff or a vocal hook; on first single "Heaven," Gahan says Depeche Mode were "very conscious about not overworking the musical elements so they distracted from the vocal. To me, 'Heaven' is one of the reasons I still make music."

The Chronicle
Pella —
To the editor,
I found Rick Cowman's July 8 Religion article "Standing by Your Man" to be paternalistic, reactionary, and condescending. It represents the oppressive and limiting ideas about women, men, marriage, and relationships that had to be overcome in order for women to be able to do things like vote, play sports, own property, and enter careers besides teaching and nursing.
Progress happens despite articles like this, not because of them. This type of attitude contributes to battered women staying in harm's way because they have been taught to blame themselves for their husbands' behavior. "If only I had modeled a Godly attitude and quiet spirit, this wouldn't have happened. I shouldn't have nagged him." The notion that one partner in any relationship is always right or should always be in charge just doesn't sync up with reality. Both partners bring strengths and weaknesses, and each has accountability for their own attitudes and behavior.
Many happy marriages are based upon an equal partnership between two fully committed adults who mutually and openly support, respect, and challenge each other. Submission and obedience are not part of the arrangement. And surprisingly enough, honest and direct dialogue is usually more effective in promoting change than silently modeling desired behaviors.
Is "MODEL A QUIET SPIRIT" a euphemism for "SHUT UP!"? And what should a wife do who doesn't possess a "quiet spirit"? Try to "model" one anyway? Pity the poor woman with a lively spirit, an outgoing, fun-loving, or even raucous spirit! According to Rick Cowman's advice, it seems that her options are to change her personality or avoid getting married.
The 50's called. They want their minister back.

Derry News
---- — DERRY — The town's first charter school is on track to open in 2013.
Proponents of the plan to open a charter high school next fall say everything is on schedule. A committee is working hard on details for the alternative classrooms planned for space at Gilbert H. Hood Middle School.
Charter schools are public institutions operating under a board of trustees. The schools offer a nontraditional education for students who may need an alternative for their high school years.
In Derry's case, the board will be made up of five trustees.
"The board is set to get involved with policies," School Board member Ken Linehan said.
Justin Krieger and Joe Crawford, both middle school assistant principals in the district, first presented the charter school plan to the public in January. Residents then cast ballots in a non-binding vote in March and supported the charter school plan.
More public information sessions followed, the plan went before the state Board of Education and was approved in June. The school will receive state and federal funding.
Krieger and Crawford will serve as co-directors of the school. Earlier, Crawford said the charter school would give students a chance to thrive and succeed where a traditional high school may not be the perfect fit.
It's an alternative.
"Some students may be better served in a smaller environment," he said.
Derry's school may begin with about 30 students, with up to 90 possibly being enrolled within five years.
Curriculum would include more individualized learning and real-life applications for what lies ahead after high school.
Linehan said the school's admision process will begin early next year. Derry students will get first priority for space, but other towns may also send their students to the school.
"It's exciting," Linehan said. "Things are moving along."
The next meeting of the charter school committee is set for Nov. 6.

Len Burman, Contributor
I'm a professor at Syracuse U. and focus on tax and budget policy.
I just came across this bar chart, which illustrates graphically why the tax code is such a mess. The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) is the official scorekeeper for all tax legislation passed by the Congress. The chart shows the number of requests for estimates and other analysis that they've received from Congressional offices since 1986. Most of the requests are for estimates, which are necessary if a member wants to get a piece of tax legislation seriously considered. The chart doesn't say how many are for new credits, deductions, or other tax breaks (although a quick perusal of the Congressional record suggests that proposals for tax breaks far outnumber proposals for new taxes or tax increases). It doesn't say how many came from members of the Ways and Means Committee and Senate Finance Committee, which are actually responsible for tax legislation, or from other members whose efforts in the tax arena are purely symbolic unless they find a cosponsor on a tax-writing committee.
But the growth in the number of requests is astonishing–1,373 percent between 1986 and 2009. And the 6,983 requests in 2009 was not even the record. The all-time peak was 2007 with 7,786 requests. What's remarkable about the growth is that 1986 was the year that the Tax Reform Act of 1986 passed. The JCT was really busy that year. There were 474 requests. But since then, the trend has been almost exponentially upward.
Here are the same data grouped by Congressional term. (Most of the requests are made early in each two-year Congress as members try to get their great new ideas on the agenda.)
It would be nice to think that our legislators are working hard trying to find ways to make our tax code simpler, fairer, and more conducive to economic growth. (One member, Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, has worked tirelessly to try to advance the cause of tax reform, but he has few allies in this quest.) Maybe some are even pondering how to raise enough revenue to pay for the government. But I doubt that's the prime driver. The tax code has now become the tool of choice to give away goodies.
It is the 21st century pork barrel.
Fortunately, the JCT only has time to look at a fraction of the great tax ideas coming out of Congressional offices. Nonetheless, some real doozies still squeak through. And that's one reason why our tax code is such a mess.
Follow me on twitter.
I believe that the progressive (in the ordinary sense of the word) shift to a permanently temporary tax code is responsible for most of the JCT estimate churning. The code contains so many time bombs that leaving it alone is politically infeasible. New tax law is required, with new JCT estimates, every year just to retain current tax policy, let alone change anything.
If current tax law contained nothing but a projection of current policy into future years, this problem might not exist.
Thanks for this analysis.
When friends of mine complain about lobbyists, I frequently suggest many of them would likely go away if there were not so much to lobby for – the tax code is one of the prime methods to extract rewards for constituents – it is also a fairly invisible means of redistribution, so few complain. The lack of political will is understandable, but unfortuate and distressing, as there are few people that I know that wouldn't support a simplified tax system / flat tax.
My running joke for — seriously, I never get tired of it — is that I ask whether a particular proposal is part of tax simplification.
That's a good example how everything within the government is bloated and complicated. In my honest opinion, when need more "common sense" folk, and less coporate puppets. Put us on a simple tax code, that can be tweaked during times of surplus or deficits.
The problem are the yahoos in office(not all of them) just the ones log jamming the entire process for greed.
Perhaps, just perhaps, the explosion of new forms of media will help end this game by alerting citizens to the true cost of meddling with the tax code. Just as we now understand the mechanics of failing to index tax brackets, I'm hopeful the country is getting smarter about these other fiscal games.

Editor's Note: This story was updated at 11:50 p.m. Feb. 5 with the results of a vote by Riverside County Supervisors approving the sale of the bonds.
Though state officials recently urged a moratorium on a certain type of financing for large school projects known as capital appreciation bonds, or CABs, the Temecula Valley Unified School District is moving ahead with its plans to use them.
The suggested moratorium coincides with a bill introduced Jan. 25 by two state lawmakers, Assemblyman Ben Hueso (D-San Diego) and Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan (D-Alamo), that seeks to check the use of long-term CABs, which can carry debt payments many times the amount borrowed, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Of note is a bond series issued by the Poway Unified School District in 2011 that has Poway taxpayers on the hook for nearly $1 billion over 40 years. In exchange for the debt, PUSD only received about $105 million for school repairs.
"In too many cases, CAB deals have forced taxpayers to pay more than 10 times the principal to retire the bonds," wrote State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson and California State Treasurer Bill Lockyer in a Jan. 17 letter addressed to county and district superintendents.
"The moratorium should remain in effect until the Governor and Legislature decide on reforms in the current legislative session. If reforms are enacted, subsequent CABs deals can be conducted in compliance with the new statutory requirements, " wrote Torlakson and Lockyer. (The complete letter is attached to this article in PDF format.)
In the case of Temecula Valley Unified, 63 percent of Temecula voters approved Measure Y in November 2012, allowing the district to issue bonds not to exceed $165 million over the next several years.
The bonds are in essence loans to complete school projects and repairs that have fallen to the wayside over the last five years due to cutbacks in state education funding, according to Lori Ordway-Peck, assistant superintendent of business services for Temecula Valley Unified.
"It is not that they stopped (giving money for school repairs)," said Ordway-Peck. "What they said was 'we are going to continue to give you that (maintenance) grant but you may use it in a flexible manner.' Well of course what most districts did was they said 'if we have a choice between re-roofing a school and keeping teachers employed, we will choose jobs.'"
As such, the district governing board on Jan. 28 approved the issuance of the first series of bonds under Measure Y. The board's action will allow the district to immediately seek financing for $35 million in bonds—similar to a loan for a mortgage, according to Ordway-Peck—to begin chipping away at a number of school projects.
Of the $35 million ready to be issued now, Ordway-Peck said about 16 percent will be CABs, 16 percent will be issued at current interest rates, and 68 percent are convertible CABs—bonds that the district can convert from CABs to current interest seven years from now.
As a result of Measure Y bonds, taxpayers within the district's purvey will be taxed at a fixed rate of approximately $36 per household, Ordway-Peck said. She explained that of the $36, $26 is still being used to pay off bonds approved by voters in 1989 when the district unified; the other $10 will go toward the newly issued bonds.
"It was $65 million way back then," Ordway-Peck said. "There is a little bit that is still being paid off—I don't know of the top of my head—there is a little bit that will be paid off in seven years and then a little smaller amount that will be paid off about three years later."
Which is the reason Temecula Valley Unified elected to use CABs this go around, she said.
"Because the assessed valuation in our school district of all the taxpayers is only sufficient right now to meet the existing debt. In seven years we will have room to pay off new debt. If we wait seven years to start our program the cost of doing all of the projects that we need to do will escalate."
Projects slated to occur with the bond proceeds include updating several campuses with current science and technology equipment. (See a full list of Measure Y projects attached to this article.)
"The cost of doing construction in education have gone up about 3.5 percent per year, so there is that piece. But in addition to that, we have already neglected our capital programs for about the past five years because there has been no money," Ordway-Peck said.
Referring to the letter from Torlakson and Lockyer, which stated that "remedial legislation is needed to prevent abuses and ensure that both school board members and the public obtain timely, accurate, complete, and clear information about the costs of CABs, and alternatives, before CABs are issued," Ordway-Peck said the district's governing board members have been fully informed since the get-go.
"When we began this process over a year ago they understood all of the intricacies—because it is fairly complicated—of what we had to do because we had an existing bond," Ordway-Peck said.
The proposed state legislation intends to set parameters on CABs by reducing the maximum maturity rate from 40 years to 25 years and limiting a school district's repayment ratio to no more than $4 in interest and principal for every $1 borrowed, according to the Los Angeles Times' report.
Because assessed property valuation differs from district to district—in Riverside and San Bernardino counties it can be about $300,000 per household, while in San Diego and Orange counties and in the San Francisco Bay Area, it can be as much as $1 million—Ordway-Peck said the legislation would be hard to apply fairly throughout the state.
"It is a different conversation. They can raise three times, four times more per house, than we can raise. Our issuance (rate), for instance, instead of the 4 to 1 is like 2.3 or 2.2 to 1, so it is very, very conservative," Ordway-Peck said.
"It is very difficult, I think, to have a good fair conversation about what works best statewide here, and I think that is where these folks in Sacramento have to do a good job in developing an understanding of what they are doing to us. That is the tough part for them."
Riverside County supervisors on Tuesday approved the sale of the bonds. The county has to sign off on the proposal because the treasurer-tax collector is responsible for arranging the issuance. Interest rates on the notes will be set at auction, but are not to exceed 6 percent, county documents state. Interest payments will be made semiannually.
Los Angeles-based investment banking firm Stone & Youngberg has been hired to handle the sale, collecting a 1.1 percent fee for serving as underwriter.

This is too cool not to share *UPDATED*
by Student Guy, Sat Jun 14, 2008 at 10:23:31 PM EDT
I am too impressed with the awesomeness of this not to share it, that is why I am posting, this tool is really totally awesome. This is cross-posted here and it is where I'll be for discussion.
I hope this isn't too big for the screen I'll edit it if it is.
okay the first attempt didn't work to put it in a frame, let me try number attempt number two...
nope I am bordering on fail territory...
again I fail...
Success. Anyway check it out, it will run slow as it is a java app. but ti is way fun.
Student GuyAfter studying a bunch and a near epic sleep, I am back here (yes the shortest GBCW ever, that is part of the shame I decided. Please feel free to throw that back in my face at any time (I'll only not be embarrassed by the people who showed themselves as haters and of course the troll swithing sides/rankles/lemon714/switchings sides2). I also have changed my bio and my sig as part of a self shaming/atonement action. When my finals are over, I'll be writing a long apology for my actions which precipitated my GBCW (heh that was short). I am open to other suggestions for atonement and will consider any suggestions (but please remember I am a poor writer with a lack of attention), so suggestions of a 10,000 word diary aren't likely to fly. Other than that I am game for whatever is thrown at me that is humanly possible for me to do. Peace, SG.

This came out really good. I've made it before, but it was better because I heated the dish before throwing the chicken in this time, and eliminated the soggy bottom issue. For only 2 chicken breasts, I still used 1/2 cup mayo, mixed with granulated garlic, onion, seasoned pepper and celery salt. Coated the chicken with all of it, then the cornflakes. Sprinkled with dill and lemon zest. Yummy dish, and I'd make it again... this way. Thank you.
My Grandmother made this for years! I can't believe I stumbled on this (thanks to recipe seach and and empty pantry close to grocery night). I cut my chicken into strips (chicken tenders) and add a little onion powder to the seasoning mix. I spray the bottom of the baking dish with a little Pam so nothing sticks and bake them at 350 for 30 - 35 minutes turning once during baking. These come out so tender and moist with a light crispy coating even using lite mayo.
I hate mayo! And this recipe was awesome!!!!! So juicy. I didn't have cornflakes, so I used bread crumbs, but I bet cornflakes would be good, too. I followed the recipe exactly except for the bread crumbs, and next time I will not change a thing. Yum!

I originally wrote another column for today but last week I was on Google+ and read this:
Let Go or Be Dragged.
I found the slogan so spot on, so humorous, so true that I simply HAD to write about it today. In conjunction with Wednesday's entry, I'd like to discuss the opportunities that present themselves by simply letting go. I searched images on Google with this as a search and one of the images that popped up was of someone being dragged behind a horse.
Now that had to hurt wouldn't you say? Isn't that what happens when you cling to something you know you're better off letting go of?
I'm thinking here of anger, of a grudge? Who is that really hurting?
What about something in your own life that you desperately want? What if it simply isn't coming to fruition? Are you holding onto that thought so tightly that it is constricting your every move? You do of course understand that you're being dragged just as much here as you were in the first example do you not?
Let go and stop being dragged!
There have been so many cases in my own life where had I known this earlier I would have been far better off. The blessing is I understand the concept now and I put these ideas into daily use.
–Since I've been practicing Law of Attraction and have become more spiritual, my entire life has improved.
–Since I now see everything as divine and everything happening for my highest good I no longer dwell in low places. I understand that life is a process, that life is a marathon, not a sprint. I'm just so grateful that I have reached a point in my life where I understand this now. Because of that:
I no longer hold grudges
I no longer stay angry.
I no longer hold onto something that just isn't happening on my time.
I understand that time is different in the spiritual realm and what to us is a year to those in the spiritual realm is but mere seconds.
Be Happy! Be Well! Be Positive!
Blessings to you.
