After announcing the technology at its OpenWorld conference last month, Oracle has launched its much anticipated NoSQL database.
The Oracle NoSQL Database can now be downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network. The software will also be a key component the Oracle Big Data Appliance, due to be shipped in the first three months of 2012.
[ Also on InfoWorld: NoSQL is eclipsing the old-time RDBMS. | IT users report that NoSQL offers speed, scalability, and flexibility. | Learn the basics of big data technologies. | Let InfoWorld's Data Explosion interactive iGuide help you manage today's explosion of the data you need to analyze and manage. ]
The database, based on the Berkeley DB database, would be of interest to "customers who are acquiring massive amounts of data who are unsure about the schema, who want more fluid capture of the data," said Marie-Anne Neimat, vice president of database development at Oracle.
The company is responding to the growing number of databases introduced in the past few years that eschew the typical SQL architecture in order to scale up and speed performance.
Such a database may be useful for storing information such as data from service logs, sensors, and meters as well as from social networks and personal information for e-commerce sites, the company claimed. A database of this sort would also be a good fit for large organizations that are already using Oracle databases, noted analyst Curt Monash of Monash Research. In many cases a relational database is not the best choice for tasks such as tracking Web interactions. "NoSQL in general deserves a place in Oracle shops, so it makes sense for Oracle to try to co-opt it," he wrote in a blog posting.
NoSQL can also be used to handle non-essential data storage duties, taking some of the burden off of more structured relational databases. Monash pointed to a recent database failure experienced by JPMorgan Chase. Because the company stored both time-sensitive financial transactional data and non-essential user information on the same database, financial transactions were slowed by an influx of large number of users checking into the Web site after a crash. Keeping the user data on a separate, possibly NoSQL, database for the user data might have eliminated this problem.
The database is based the Java version of Berkeley DB, an open source database developed by the University of California Berkeley that is widely used in embedded systems. The database uses a simple key-value data model, meaning that a program can fetch the needed piece of data by providing the appropriate key, or a numeric identifier.

Maple Leafs hang on to down Sabres
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - John-Michael Liles and Joey Crabb registered a goal and an assist apiece, and the Toronto Maple Leafs hung on for a 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres to snap the longest home losing streak in franchise history.
Phil Kessel and Matt Frattin also lit the lamp for the Leafs, who had lost their last 11 games at Air Canada Centre.
Ben Scrivens made 29 saves in the win.
"Obviously everyone feels much better about themselves than they did two nights ago," Maple Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle said. "Hopefully that builds a little confidence in them."
Tyler Ennis, Ville Leino and Drew Stafford scored for Buffalo, which has lost two straight on the heels of a nine-game point streak.
Ryan Miller allowed four goals on 29 shots in defeat.
The Sabres are two points behind the Capitals, who defeated Montreal in a shootout Saturday, for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
"I think we worked hard and we had some good chances at the end," said Ennis. "But now we're just going to have to win the next three [games]."
Trailing 3-1 after two periods, Leino's backhander pulled Buffalo within a goal at the 6:48 mark of the final frame.
But Toronto regained its two-goal advantage midway through the third.
On an odd-man rush, Frattin buried his wrister into the back of the net from the slot.
Stafford snapped home a rebound with 2:45 left to make it 4-3, but Scrivens stood tall in net the rest of the way to preserve the win for Toronto.
After the Sabres turned the puck over while on the power play, Crabb skated in alone on the breakaway and snapped his shot past Miller for a 1-0 Toronto lead midway through the opening frame.
Following Ennis' wrister, which tied the contest at one halfway through the middle period, Toronto tallied the next two.
The first tally came on the power play as Kessel's well-placed wrister from the left circle sailed past the glove of Miller.
The second goal came with 0.7 seconds remaining in the stanza. The Leafs moved in on an odd-man rush before Clarke MacArthur snapped a wrister on net from the slot. Liles pounced on loose disc and put home the rebound.
Game Notes
Buffalo is 14-3-4 over its last 21 games...Buffalo was 0-for-3 on the power play while Toronto finished 1-of-2 on the man advantage.

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
2011 Honda CR-Z — Review
This 2011 review is representative of model years 2011 to 2014.
By James Tate of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
The CR-Z intends to mate the seemingly incompatible worlds of hybrids and sports cars, but the result isn't so much a white-hot revolution as a lukewarm try at bringing fun back to the Honda lineup.
Honda has intentionally stirred up the ghosts of its once sporting past with the 2011 CR-Z by borrowing design cues from the long-extinct CR-X — a car that managed to be both fuel-efficient and fun to drive.
But while the CR-X developed a massive following that continues to this day, the CR-Z might end up being even more popular because it provides eco-conscious hybrid owners with something they've never had: style.
Model Lineup
Buyers looking for a few more bells and whistles can move on up to CR-Z EX trim. Honda hasn't said how much the next level will cost, but we do know that buyers will be able to enjoy a more potent 7-speaker sound system, Bluetooth hands-free calling and a slick, perforated leather steering wheel. If you want Honda's familiar (but dated) navigation system, you'll need to stick with the EX trim level, but it will be an additional cost.
Under the Hood
Fuel economy for both versions is a little disappointing, considering the size of the CR-Z and the fact that the car is a 2-seater. When equipped with the 6-speed manual gearbox, the car manages just 31 mpg city/37 mpg highway. Those numbers climb significantly with the CVT, to 35 mpg/39 mpg. The figures are derived in Normal mode; the car is said to do slightly better in Eco mode and, you guessed it, worse in Sport.
And finally, in order to keep costs down, Honda decided to build the CR-Z with a nickel-metal hydride battery instead of a more advanced lithium-ion unit. Not a good move, in our opinion.
Inner Space
Both driver and passenger get treated to cloth sport seats with bolsters set wide enough apart to accommodate big-boned Americans of every variety. Even so, the buckets do a good job of keeping you in place should the going get curvy. The dash and instrument cluster are supposed to give the impression of an advanced technological design, which means there's plenty of plastic, both shiny and otherwise. The dash is asymmetrical with a bias toward the driver, and the instrument cluster features a large, easy-to-read gauge with the tachometer and speedometer information prominently displayed.
The CR-Z also uses a clever system to encourage "green" driving. A color-changing ring nestled behind the speedometer reacts based on your driving habits. Drive like a heathen and the ring will stay blue. Go a little easier on the throttle and brakes, and the ring will glow green. If the CR-Z is in Sport mode, the ring stays red no matter what you do behind the wheel.
On the Road
Fortunately, there are Normal and Sport modes to cure those ills. In either of those two options, the engine/motor combo actually feels up to the task of moving the 2,600 pound car around with decent quickness. We wouldn't call the car fast — Honda says the CR-Z will hit 60 mph in a dawdling 9.7 seconds — but the relatively lightweight design and rigid chassis help the car feel like it has a bit of spring in its step.
Even more surprising, the regenerative brakes on the CR-Z are linear and easy to modulate — something that's almost unheard of in hybrids. Combined with a decent weight distribution (60 percent front and 40 percent rear), the hybrid handles twists and turns with a decent flair, even given its torsion-bar rear suspension.
Right for You?
(As part of an automaker-sponsored press event, Honda provided MSN with travel and accommodations tofacilitate this report.)
James Tate cut his teeth in the business as a race team crew member before moving to the editorial side asSenior Editor of Sport Compact Car, and his work has appeared in Popular Mechanics, Automobile, Motor Trendand European Car. When not writing, Tate is usually fantasizing about a vintage Porsche 911.

On one hand, I agree with you. On the other hand... She has been one of the only resonable voices in a stupid conflict for a LONG TIME!
I want her to kick ass because it needs kicking. I DO NOT want for her character to be compromised for a stupid conflict. Yeah, I said it. It's still stupid.
Her intelligence, honor, idealism and conviction are part of what makes her amazing - as far as I'm concerned. If Theramore get's a mega-spank, then yes, I say let her off the leash in a lot of ways. HOWEVER, I do not want a radical reversal of the character as she stands.
There are a lot of people calling for Horde blood with no consideration for what it makes US! I do NOT want to become a monster to fight Garrosh who, is a monster.

The Birch Bay Steering Committee finds itself ending 2013 with four major Birch Bay Community Plan (Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan) projects in various states of implementation:
The shoreline restoration phase of the Birch Bay Drive and Pedestrian Facility Project is entering the engineering and permitting process at Whatcom County Public Works with construction expected to commence in 2016.
The BP Heron Center for Environmental Education is halfway constructed on the beach by the Friends of Birch Bay State Park with completion expected in summer of 2014.
A Birch Bay Beach Park and Community Center is being hotly pursued, headed by a small group of citizens in cooperation with the Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce and Northwest Park and Recreation District 2.
A nature trail that has been designed to be disabled-accessible and self-guided around the southern perimeter of Bay Horizon Park is in the conceptual stages with a local developer, Lions Camp Horizon and Whatcom County Parks and Recreation.
Stay tuned for opportunities for you, the members of the greater Birch Bay/Blaine community, to get involved in bringing these exciting projects to fruition over the next few years.

A former church volunteer who police say sexually molested a male juvenile who attended services at the church has been indicted by a Davidson County grand jury.
Brian "Lance" Mitchell faces 16 counts of child sex crimes.
The 30-year-old arrested in May and admitted to fondling the then 10-year-old boy in 2007.
Mitchell, a sound engineer, was contracted to run the soundboard at Cornerstone Church in Madison. The boy was in the church's children's ministry at the time.
In an interview following his arrest, Mitchell told police that he believed the victim had fallen asleep when he began rubbing the victim's buttocks for several minutes during which time he got an erection.
Police launched an investigation earlier this year after the boy saw Mitchell at a church function and recounted what had happened five years earlier.

Interim Program Director:
Assistant Program Director:
Patricia Carlson, D.D.S., M.P.H.
The General Practice Residency program is a graduate program of the Department of Dentistry at the University of Rochester. We provide service within the realm of total patient care at our Downtown Rochester site, Strong Memorial (SMH) and Highland hospitals (HH).
These goals are evaluated quarterly through multiple resident evaluation tools and through an end-of-year questionnaire. Additionally, periodic surveys of recent graduates will be used to supplement the data. These data are reviewed by the program director and faculty, and appropriate actions are taken.
The two-year General Practice Residency program can be combined with various research-training grants and/or a Masters of Science or Masters of Public Health.
There are many research opportunities through the Eastman Department of Dentistry and the University of Rochester. Research activities can be combined with graduate degree programs, grants, or as an additional residency experience. We encourage all of our residents to have some research activities; however, the two-year program lends itself to a fuller research experience.
The assignments comprise comprehensive clinical care in general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics endodontics, orthodontics, and oral surgery.
All residents, when not on outside rotations, are assigned to the Downtown, Strong Memorial and Highland hospital clinics. During this time the residents provide comprehensive care to scheduled patients. Members of attending staff are present at all times. Specialist supervision is provided on scheduled days.
Each resident will spend approximately three weeks during the year treating patients at MCH, an affiliate of Strong Memorial Hospital, which provides extended care for the handicapped, chronically ill and aged.

Do Social Media Sites Like Tumblr Need Their Own News Publications?
We learned last week that Tumblr is shutting down Storyboard — the news blog responsible for reporting on creative and noteworthy posts by Tumblr users. Tumblr's cofounder, David Karp, posted his explanation for Storyboard's closing on the site's staff blog, saying: "What we've accomplished with Storyboard has run its course for now, and our editorial team will be closing up shop and moving on."
Karp mentions that Storyboard partnered with the likes of WNYC, Mashable, Time, etc. and was even nominated for a James Beard Award (to name a few accomplishments). So, why is it best to "move on" when the project has been so successful?
The consensus (here, here, and here) seems to be that Tumblr needs to downsize to turn a profit this year. However, in an interview with The New York Times, Charlie Warzel, deputy technology editor at Buzzfeed, suggested Storyboard is closing because there's no point in writing about what you can just go and see for yourself. He said:
It is always peculiar when a social network branches out into publishing, it just seems odd to bring on even excellent editorial talent to cover what is already going on organically.
It is always peculiar when a social network branches out into publishing, it just seems odd to bring on even excellent editorial talent to cover what is already going on organically.
And he's not the only one who shares the sentiment.
The New York Times calls attention to Dan Fletcher (a journalism school graduate) who quit his "amorphous" job as managing editor of Facebook in 2012. His position required him to write about FaceBook trends. He said that reporters aren't needed on FaceBook and that articles detract from user activity that is "inherently more interesting" than the articles themselves.
FJP: Why is it "peculiar" that an excellent editorial staff would be reporting on the "organic" events of social media communities? Isn't that what journalists do? Just because social media communities exist in the cyber-verse doesn't make them less newsworthy.
Admittedly, Storyboard and other social media news blogs (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest) aren't exactly watchdog reporters (they want to talk about the posts that make themselves look good, after all), and that should make us question whether these publications can really be "journalistic." But social media news is in its larval stage. Maybe, in the future, social communities will be publishing articles about juveniles who break copyright laws, and sites will be locking people's profiles in cyber-jail-blocks for weeks due to hazing. Surely, social sites are gonna need some objective, guardian watchdogs for that, right? Eh? — Krissy

A Classical and Contemporary Education
We are a leader in educational achievement from early childhood through high school.
Portland Waldorf School stands out in the Northwest as the most complete, stable and experienced Waldorf school serving K-12 education. For over thirty years, it has served thousands of students and families by meeting the needs of each age with an inviting and challenging curriculum. Its graduates have become doctors, high-tech entrepreneurs, teachers, artists and therapists often sought by select liberal arts colleges for further study.
In early childhood, PWS provides a beautiful environment in both the classroom and the seven-acre park-like setting with tall trees and two streams. Many of the master teachers in the young grades train other teachers and present lectures and workshops for other educators. The young child is held in reverence with a daily experience of older students from seven to eighteen as well as being surrounded by loving adults.
In grade school, the class teacher carries students through all eight grades, developing a close relationship with not only each child but the class as a social organism. As the students develop, their education is enriched by specialty teachers in Spanish and German, vocal and instrumental music, physical education, handwork, and eurythmy. Each age in the grade school is taught from a curriculum that meets the inner soul and temperament of the child. Students learn in a social context not only of their own class but older high school students and younger kindergarten ones.
In high school (and PWS is the only whole Waldorf school in the Portland area), students meet expert teachers in humanities, the sciences and the arts. While working through the ardors of adolescence, students find a love for truth as well as for the community of students both of their age and in earlier developmental stages. They become sought-after college students, award-winning musicians, budding scientists, and outdoorsmen caring for the environment and the community of families that have supported their blossoming.
Portland Waldorf School does not discriminate on the basis of: race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, status as a parent, marital status or political affiliation.

A recent cookbook, "Smoke and Pickles: Recipes and Stories from a New Southern Kitchen" by Edward Lee (Artisan, $29.95), captures the essence of two flavors I love together, smoked barbecue and crisp pickles.
"I can't eat barbecue and not have pickles," Lee told me when I interviewed him about the book.
I highly recommend his quick pickle recipes, including Bourbon-Pickled Jalapenos and Pickled Jasmine Peaches with Star Anise.
I've also been trying out several pickle seasoning samples from Fire & Flavor, the Athens-based company known for products like grilling planks and hardwood charcoal.
With each "Pickle It" package ($3.99), you get a pre-measured spice blend and a recipe to make 4-6 pints of refrigerator or shelf stable pickles. You'll need cucumbers, vinegar, jars and, depending on the recipe, add-ons like onions or sugar.
I have had great results with the Sweet Bread & Butter and Icebox Dill seasonings. And I'm anxious to try out the All Rounder, a blend designed to be used with fresh green beans, okra, carrots, and other summer vegetables.
Pickled Jasmine Peaches with Star Anise
Makes 2 Quarts
Hands on time: 20 minutes Total time: 20 minutes plus 2 days for pickling
You need to flavor your pickles, but it's a hassle to strain out or remove loose spices that you don't want to eat. Using tea bags is the perfect solution – they are packed with flavor. You can steep the pickle liquid just like you would a cup of tea; then, when the pickles are ready, you can just toss out the tea bags. Of course, use only high-quality tea.
This pickle screams for a nice, fatty pork dish, but it's great with the gaminess of lamb and goat too.
2 pounds slightly under-ripe peaches
1 cup champagne vinegar
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 star anise
2 Serrano chili peppers, sliced in half
3 jasmine tea bags
Peel the peaches with a vegetable peeler. Slice into wedges, discarding the pits. Pack into a large glass jar or other heat-proof container.
In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and star anise and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Pour the hot liquid over the peaches and add the peppers and the tea bags. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate.
Remove and discard the tea bags after 1 day. The peaches will be ready after 2 days, and they will keep for up to 3 weeks.

My preschool cookbook has a drawing of my fave food… and, yes, it's a pickle. Well, it's a green blob meant to be a pickle but I was a tiny tot. Nothing much has changed since then and I still love 'em!

Put them in canning jars and do a simple water bath canning on them and they'll last for years. I love pickled peaches, my Mom has made them for many years, since I was a small boy.

I know what bulking and cutting is, but what is refeeding? Any explanation would be good. Thanks in advance.

You kill me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize....
If you are on a low carb or strict cal deficient diet sometime it helps getting in some extra cals coming mainly from carbs to replenish glycogen levels and leptin levels.
Here are some threads and links that might help.
At the bottom of the last thread that I posted there is a link to an article that will help in explaining the concept to you.
Cardio/Workout on the refeed days?
it's up to you, refeeds give you energy. They also spike insulin. I usually do mine post workout.
Replenish Glycogen Stores in Muscles
Boost Leptin hormone
I think they should be used cautiously and only when cutting on low carbs.
LOL, that's true.
You kill me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize....
Should go have a gander on the main site www.wannabebig.com and read the three part interview Maki did with Lyle. Very informative on refeeds and dieting in general.
"It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"
Richard Dawkins
"Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."
Richard Dawkins
"Bah. You know I hate poor people."

Book Description:Current debates about boys and schooling in many Western nations are increasingly characterised by a sense of crisis as government reports, academic research and the day to day experiences of teachers combine to indicate that:* boys are consistently underperforming in literacy* boys are continuing to opt out of English and humanities* boys represent the majority of behaviour problems and counselling referrals* boys receive a disproportionate amount of special education supportThis book responds to the complexity of the current debates associated with boys, gender reform, literacy and schooling by offering a clear map of the current context, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the various competing solutions put forward, and outlining a range of practical classroom interventions designed for dealing with the boys/literacy crisis. The authors consider the ways in which particular views of masculinity, gender reform, literacy, technology and popular culture can either open up or close down new conceptualisations of what it means to be a boy and what it means to be literate.

Emerald Waterways Ships
OnboardThe most innovative bit of design planned for the fleet is a dual-purpose area at the aft of the ship that transforms from an indoor, heated pool with retractable roof during the day, to a cinema at night. And although Uniworld's S.S. Antoinette offers separate pool and cinema facilities, the reconfigurable room on Emerald's ships is a new-to-river feature.
The rest of the ships' touted innovations have become standard in the modern, "post-Viking Longship" era of European river cruising. These include: good-sized suites, balconies in a majority of cabins and an open-air alternative dining space.
Meals onboard are served in the main dining room, Reflections Restaurant, and, like Viking River Cruises' Longship class of ships, Emerald ships will offer an alfresco dining area at the bow of the ship as an informal alternative dining option for breakfast and lunch.
As is the case with many river cruise lines, Emerald Waterways will include soft drinks, beer and wine at meals, shore excursions, transfers and tips within the cost to the overall fare. The line arranges flights on a case-by-case basis but those cost extra.
There are a few notable differences between what sister company Scenic Tours offer on their European river cruises and the planned offerings onboard Emerald Waterways' ships. Passengers on Scenic ships enjoy full-time complimentary drinks -- including a minibar in each stateroom -- as well more spacious cabins and butler service.
About Emerald WaterwaysEmerald Waterways will debut two new ships in early 2014.
The 182-passenger, 443-foot long sister ships Emerald Star and Emerald Sky will launch in April and June 2014, respectively, and will cruise seven to 14-night itineraries on the Rhine, Main, Danube and Mosel rivers.
Two more identical ships, Emerald Sun and Emerald Dawn, will join the fleet in early 2015.
With less expensive prices than Scenic Tours, Emerald Waterways is positioning itself as a competitor to four-star brands like Viking and Avalon Waterways while boasting a handful of innovative design touches and nearly all-inclusive pricing. Along with drinks, shore excursions, transfers and tips, and its main marketing push will be within Britain.
Emerald Waterways FleetAs noted, Emerald Waterways will initially consist of twin 182-passenger, 443-foot long ships Emerald Star and Emerald Sky, sailing seven to 14-night itineraries on Europe's Rhine, Main, Danube an Mosel Rivers. The ships were built by De Hoop shipyard in Holland. In March 2014, the line announced two more ships -- Emerald Dawn and Emerald Sun -- will join the fleet in early 2015.
Fellow PassengersAlthough the ships have yet to launch, Emerald Waterways will likely serve the typical European river cruise passenger -- generally well-traveled cruise veterans in the 55-plus bracket.

PASADENA, Calif. • The Bowl Championship Series will be replaced by the College Football Playoff.
The BCS conference commissioners announced the name of the new postseason system that starts in 2014 on Tuesday, the first of three days of meetings at a resort hotel in the Rose Bowl's backyard.
They also will choose the remaining three sites for the six-bowl semifinal rotation in the new system and the site of the first championship game to be held Jan. 12, 2015, this week.
The website www.collegefootballplayoff.com is already up and running and allowing fans to vote on a new logo. It also has a Twitter handle: (at)cfbplayoff.
"It's really simple. It gets right to the point," BCS executive director Bill Hancock, who will hold the same position in the playoff system, said at a short news conference with the 10 commissioners of the FCS conferences.
"Nothing cute. Nothing fancy. We decided it would be best to call it what it is."
Premiere Sports Management in Overland Park, Kan., was hired to help come up with a name and brand the new system. A committee of commissioners handled the naming of the new system. Hancock said they ran through "in the neighborhood of three dozen" names.
Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said, "We're clearly trying to make a clear break from the BCS."
Before the news was reported, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said he'd be happy with whatever was selected.
"I'm am not good with names — obviously," Delany said during a break in the meetings, referring to the Big Ten's division names, Legends and Leaders, that produced so much negative feedback the conference has already decided to change them.
The new postseason format will create two national semifinals to be played New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, with the winners advancing. The six bowls in the playoff rotation will host marquee, BCS-type games on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day during the seasons they do not host a semifinal.
"I don't think you can ever go too wrong calling something what it is," Scott said. "Things that make sense tend to stand the test of time."
Three semifinal spots have already been decided: the Rose, Orange and Sugar bowls.
Four other bowls have bid for the final three spots. The clear front-runners are the Cotton, Chick-fil-A and Fiesta. The Holiday Bowl in San Diego also put in a bid, but even its organizers have acknowledged they are a long shot at best to land the game.
Those decisions will be announced Wednesday.

The Rusk County Game Warden's Office has confirmed that the body of a man who drowned on Lake Palestine has been recovered.
Captain Mike Hanson said that a witness said a 30-year-old man went swimming in the lake, near the Sunrise Shores area of Chandler.
Hanson said witnesses watched the man swim about 150 yards out into the water when they noticed he began struggling to stay up. They jumped into the water to help save the man, but were unable to reach him in time.
The Henderson County Sheriff's Office spent Tuesday evening combing the bottom of the lake where witnesses said the man went down, and were able to recover his body around 11:30 p.m.
Hanson said the victim has been identified, but his name will be held pending notification of next of kin.

Capitol View Commentary: March 26, 2010
By Pat Nolan, Senior Vice-President, DVL Public Relations & Advertising
March 26, 2010
After weeks on Capitol Hill in Nashville with little or nothing going on politically, suddenly, and just before the April 1 qualifying deadline for the August elections, all heck breaks loose!
It begins with GOP House Majority Leader Jason Mumpower shocking everyone with an announcement that he will not seek re-election. That leaves his leadership position open as well as questions about who will be the Republican nominee for Speaker of the House when the next General Assembly convenes in January, 2011? (Glenn Casada, somebody else?)
The announcement by Mumpower comes about 18 months after his stunning defeat in the last Speaker's race to former GOP colleague Kent Williams, who joined with the Democrats to snatch the Speaker's chair away. So why is he leaving? Representative Mumpower says it has nothing to do with the loss to Speaker Williams. He says he is "not giving up the fight, but looking to new challenges." So what does that mean? A high position in a new Republican gubernatorial administration (he is supporting Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey)? Did he just get tired (or his family did) of traveling back and forth to Nashville throughout the year from Upper East Tennessee? Or did Representative Mumpower realize he no longer had the votes to be his party's nominee for Speaker or maybe even for Leader?
The rumor mill had actually gotten started on this late last year. Mumpower backed the wrong candidate in the GOP primary for the special House election in southern Middle Tennessee. Then he raised eyebrows by not attending the swearing-in ceremony for the new member. There were reports then he might be losing interest in his job. But those rumors had all but died out, until Mumpower dropped the bomb by going to the House well during routine announcement and delivering his surprise retirement announcement.
The approach of the qualifying deadline seemed to bring out another "retirement" announcement, this time in the GOP governor's race. Shelby County District Attorney Bill Gibbons never seemed to find much support or money outside his base in West Tennessee. So he has announced he is quitting the field. It's hard to say this will make much difference in the overall race, but given Gibbon's somewhat moderate stance on many of the issues, it might seem his voters would migrate toward Bill Haslam rather than Ron Ramsey or Zach Wamp. However Wamp was quickly out with a media statement praising Gibbons and calling him a friend.
The Gibbons' withdrawal clearly shows the huge importance of raising money in politics, especially for a statewide campaign. It is also why we should look very closely next month when the latest round of financial disclosures are made, particularly to see how Lt. Governor Ramsey is hanging on during a period when he cannot raise funds because the General Assembly is in session. It will also give us additional clues about whether Democratic candidate Kim McMillan has found a way to raise more funds to compete with Mike McWherter.
One final fund raising note: Tennessee Senator Bob Corker has found out his new national profile in trying to negotiate reform of our financial system can sometimes come back to bite.
According to a story in POLITICO, a Corker fund raiser circulated an e-mail that seem to get uncomfortably close to selling access to Corker during the upcoming Easter break. The Senator will be in New York and Chicago during that time and the fund raising e-mail said: "We have a few openings in the schedule…we are hoping for $10,000 for meal events and $5,000 for small meetings" (with the Senator).
Media reports about the situation brought immediate action from Corker who cancelled any fundraising activities that were being planned saying it would be "inappropriate." Political money: it's hard to live with it sometimes, but you sure can't live without it either.
And so we have national health care reform.
The process was certainly messy, even sometimes downright ugly. And while almost nobody feels particularly "reconciled" by what Congress approved in two different pieces of legislation, the decades- old quest for making health care a right for all Americans appears done. The Republicans and some Democrats resisted until the bitter end, but efforts to amend to death the final bill proved futile.
From a purely political point of view, let me offer my congratulations to President Barack Obama and his team for resurrecting this legislation from the ash heap of history and finding a way to get it approved at a time when most political observers (including me) thought there was no way it could be done. This was particularly true after the Republicans and other opponents won the PR war and turned public opinion against health care overhaul and then the Democrats lost Ted Kennedy's Senate seat.
But now comes an equally difficult task, implementing the new law, while Republicans and other opponents seek to challenge its legality in the courts and in the state legislatures across the nation. The GOP also says it hopes to take back Congress and repeal Obama Care next year. But I doubt they can do that because I don't think their gains on Capitol Hill will be large enough this fall to override a certain presidential veto. But even without all these political and legal challenges, it still will 3 to 4 years at a minimum before the new health care legislation is completely implemented and that too presents challenges.
Americans are like two-year olds. We have very short attention spans and want immediate and continual gratification. So when many of those not presently covered by health care still can't get it in a few months or even a year or two (and, God forbid, the schedule for implementation is delayed for some reason) even those dancing in the street about this bill finally passing will be unhappy again.
Perhaps the new insurance restrictions prohibiting dropping coverage due to illness or pre-existing conditions, which go into effect in six months, will work out successfully. But if those changes are accompanied by new large premium hikes, you can get ready for the wailing and gnashing of teeth to begin. The same is true for many state governments already pushed to the wall financially by the recession, now having to find the money to pay their parts for all the new Medicaid (TennCare) enrollees who will be added into coverage.
The biggest concern for those Democrats (such as Tennessee's Jim Cooper and Bart Gordon) who voted for it in Congress, is convincing voters this November that the health care legislation is good thing when so little of it will be in effect, impacting their daily lives. That's also why President Obama is already out on the campaign trail touting the benefits of the new law. But despite these efforts, with an economy still stuck in neutral at best, with unemployment still at or above 10% in many states, it sure makes it hard to see the fall elections as anything other than one where incumbents in general will be at increased risk.
I suspect this new health care law, while 100 years in the making according to President Obama, will not turn out to be the panacea the Democrats are promising, nor the end-of-times Armageddon the Republicans are predicting. It could well be true that some years from now, people will come to view the new health care system as fondly as many do Medicare or Social Security today (and they were equally controversial when they were first approved). In fact, public opinion polls (USA TODAY/GALLUP) have already begun to turn around (at least temporarily) with support for the new health care bill at 49% and opposition at 40%.
So we've now officially and completely made health care a right, not a privilege. That has huge cost implications, especially for a nation struggling in a vast sea of red ink that only seems to be getting deeper and deeper. It raises the question: When are we as a nation going to get serious about dealing with our national debt which more than anything else is driven by our entitlement programs (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid), especially now that we have just added a big new addition to its ranks?
We've discussed several times the key role Tennesseans have played in the health care debate. While the 219-212 margin was wide enough that the yes votes of Congressmen Bart Gordon and Jim Cooper were not completely decisive, without them, congressional leaders may have had to lean even more heavily on Congressman John Tanner who reportedly (NEW YORK TIMES) got a pass from the Democratic House leadership concerned that a yes vote would cripple the chances of State Senator Roy Herron to hold the seat for the Democrats this fall.
Meantime, Congressman Cooper, as we told you in the last column, seemed to lean heavily on the local support for the new health care bill coming from all the local hospitals (including Vanderbilt) as well as support from some elements of the Catholic community (despite the problems of how to deal with federal funding of abortions which kept Catholic bishops in opposition). Cooper said he deliberately kept himself in the "undecided" camp to give him some leverage with the House leadership. He thinks in part that is why the decision was made (wisely) to not pursue a legislative tactic to just "deem" the Senate bill approved without an up or down vote. It turns out the Senate bill was all Cooper voted for. He did not approve the second "reconciliation" bill which, while generated by Democratic House members wanting further concessions, was not his cup of coffee.
You can be sure Cooper's votes will earn him both praise and opposition in this year's election. But it seems to me for the most part, those in the left-wing of his party have come to amicable terms with the Congressman and I am not seeing any major opposition coming forth at least in the primary. I suspect the Republicans will feel emboldened to take Jim Cooper on, but this district remains so Democratic I can't see an upset in the making here.
As far as Democratic chances of holding Bart Gordon's seat this fall, it didn't much matter how he voted. His seat is clearly going Republican. So his yes vote was strictly up to him. However, it was one of the lowest moments of the health care debate in Congress when Gordon was accused by some of his Republican colleagues of selling his "yes" vote on health care for a job with NASA after he leaves office. The Congressman strongly denied the accusation and his accusers offered absolutely no evidence. This is a very serious charge being made. Those who made either ought to back up their accusations (and take them to the Justice Department for further investigation) or shut their mouths. Of course, when you see and hear the news reports of what else was said on the floor ("baby killer')and the racial and sexual slurs hurled at some Congressmen as they entered the Capitol during the debate, you can see that political discourse and debate in this country is at all time lows. And then there are the threats and vandalism occurring against some House members who voted yes. There just is no excuse for this kind of gutter politics and hooliganism to occur.
Of course, in situations like these, there are always occasions to ask "what were they thinking?" Take Vice President Joe Biden, who once again proved his "gift for gaffes" when he dropped the f-bomb during what he thought was a quick, private conversation with the President but done near an open microphone into which the Vice-President had just been speaking.
The political controversy over health care is now moving to the state legislatures across the country. Already several states have passed resolutions urging their attorney generals to file suit against the federal government to keep the new health care law from being enforced within their borders. Tennessee's Senate has already passed such a measure, saying it is unconstitutional for the federal government to mandate people have to buy health insurance. Some also question the unfunded mandate of the states now having to pay more money for Medicaid (TennCare) coverage. It is expected that the state House will also approve asking the AG to file a lawsuit. But whether Bob Cooper will do so, remains kind of an open question.
General Cooper says he and his staff are "beginning a thorough and detailed analysis of the health care reform legislation." He points out that several of the issues that opponents of the new law seemed most upset about, such the mandated coverage and expanded Medicaid coverage won't happen for several years yet. He then warns that he will seek a lawsuit "only upon determination that litigation is proper, prudent and timely. In the meantime as Tennesseans have long respected, this office will be conscientious to avoid engagement in on-going political debates."
But an ongoing political debate is exactly what three of Tennessee's GOP gubernatorial candidates are doing on this issue. Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey is leading the charge to pass the legislation to get the AG lawsuit filed. He is trying to match in fervor and frequency the efforts of his opponent, Congressman Zach Wamp, who tried unsuccessfully to stop the new healthcare law in Washington. Both men have been issuing lots of statements and news releases on the topic as well as e-mail fundraising appeals on the matter (why not, the next fund raising disclosure deadline is the end of March).
Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam is also a gubernatorial candidate. He has clearly been the quietest candidate on this issue….until now. The reputed GOP front runner has sent out a fundraising e-mail saying Washington has approved "an intolerable expansion of power (with) an unwanted and unconstitutional takeover of America's health care system." Haslam calls the move "arrogant (and) unacceptable" and he says (as the other remaining GOP candidates have) "…if elected governor, I will pursue every means necessary to protect our state's rights and fight the federal takeover of Tennessee's healthcare."
Maybe Mayor Haslam has been saying things like this all along on this issue, but I sure haven't heard him this strong on the matter. Does this represent a change in tactics? Is he trying to catch up to the parade of where his party and his opponents have been headed for some time on this matter? Has this issue become a litmus test for GOP candidates? Is that why he thinks he needs to say these things, particularly in a fundraising appeal as we approach the next fundraising deadline? It's interesting to say the least….
It's apparently a little too much for some Democratic lawmakers in the General Assembly. Nashville representative Mike Turner, the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus told reporters this week he thinks all the criticism of President Obama and his health care plan is motivated by racism.
"I think some of the people who are against Obama are just against Obama because he's African-American," he told THE CITY PAPER (3/22), adding, "all of sudden we have a black man elected president and everybody wants to start acting like something's wrong with our country. I didn't agree with a lot of things George Bush did, but I wasn't ready to secede from the union."
Specifically as to the legislation to mandate a health care lawsuit by the Attorney General, Turner was again blunt: "I have one thing to say about that: Appomattox. We've got a lot of bills on states' rights here, state sovereignty and all that. We went through that fight before."
I think Turner may have something of a point on that part of the issue. The sovereignty of the federal government over the states has been pretty well upheld by the courts over the years. Of course anytime a matter is litigated there is no way to safely predict the outcome. I would say that is particularly true with our current federal Supreme Court, which could have the final say in this matter.
But I think Representative Turner went a bit too far in seeming to accuse some of his colleagues of racism. In watching his comments on camera, I seemed to me Rep. Turner paused for just a second before getting into the "people are against Obama because he is African-American." He should have stopped his comments and not gone there.
Here is a little bit more on the governor's race and the state of politics in Tennessee. As Bill Gibbons exits the field, the Rasmussen polling firm has issued a new survey. While Gibbons was not included in the survey, it shows all three of the remaining GOP candidates ahead by double-digits either of the Democrats in the field. Interestingly, I first heard of the survey from the Ramsey campaign, even though Haslam runs slightly better than either Ramsey or Wamp in the mock head to head races. Here are the breakouts for you political junkies:
Haslam 45%
McWherter 29%
Haslam 46%
McMillan 25%
Ramsey 43%
McWherter 29%
Ramsey 43%
McMillan 25%
Wamp 41%
McWherter 31%
Wamp 42%
McMillan 29%
While no Democrats can feel good about these numbers, Rasmussen does point out that the undecided or "don't know who these folks are" voters in all these races remain above 20%, so perhaps there is a window of hope, since none of the Republicans are above 50% in support.
But if you look further into the Rasmussen poll on key issues, there is more bad news for Tennessee Democrats. Only 31% favor the new health care law while 65% oppose it. 62% oppose mandating health insurance and 57% think the Tennessee Attorney General ought to file suit over the matter. Only Democratic Governor Phil Bredesen get high marks with a 70% approval rating. Of course, he's term-limited and can't run to hold the seat for the Democrats. In summary, it is a poll with a lot of red meat and another strong sign what strong Republican state Tennessee is these days.
We gotten strong reminders in recent days of what difficult budget situations both Metro Nashville and the State of Tennessee are facing.
First, Governor Bredesen announced that the state is mailing out 853 layoff notices to employees. Another 300 will go out in the next several months. These are positions the state says it needs to get rid of for "business reasons" and are in areas that officials had talked about cutbacks before (children's services and mental health).
Meantime, an area of local government used to being 'fully funded", K-12 education is instead this year looking at a serious budget shortfall ($25 million) and that's even after the Metro School Board painfully cut $11 million out of its spending plans by reducing the hours of school bus drivers, outsourcing 600 custodial jobs and eliminating 24 jobs at the central office.
The controversial move has brought strong outcries of opposition from employee union representatives and some members of the Metro Council, which will ultimately approve amount of money the school system receives for next year. But unless the Council is willing to cough up the money to cover the cutbacks, as well as the remaining $25 million shortfall in classroom-related services, there could be even more education service cuts and layoffs coming. Some council leaders suggested an across the board pay cut for all education employees, but that's not allowed for teacher by state law, so that won't work and besides it does nothing to address the larger $25 million shortfall school says it has to keep a status quo budget.
Mayor Karl Dean gets to grapple with this problem first before he submits his full Metro budget to the Council by May 1. So far, about all the Mayor has said publicly is that he is pleased Schools Director Dr. Jesse Register is trying to shield classroom instruction from cutbacks. But since the school system no longer has the sizable reserve funds to fall back on to fund its shortfalls as it has done in recent years, is the Mayor, who has made schools one of, if not his top priority, ready to use the city's general fund reserves to make up the difference? Or even raise taxes (doubtful, I say).
We may start to get some clues about the Mayor's budget game plan for schools and the rest of Metro (which is also hurting financially) beginning Monday, March 29.

this documentary is very eye opening, well made and only 98 minutes long. a particularly interesting part is where it talks about how the rating system judges violence in a movie versus how it judges sex in a movie (and especially sex partners of the same gender). i'll never look at the rating of a movie the same way again.

list site specific 'Groups' and 'Members' ?
@djpaul, I have a WordPress multisite setup. I want to list 'Groups' and 'Members' specific to child site. That means, if I am in child-site1 and I click on Members it should list members of that child-site1 only. If I am in child-site2 and I click on Groups, it should enlist groups of child-site2 only. Could you please tell me if it is possible and how can I do that?
In other words, I want groups created in one subsite would not be visible or accessible in other subsites. Is it possible? How can I do that if it is possible?

News Release
Sergeant Michael B. Webb
Kentucky State Police
Public Affairs Branch
Office (502) 782-1780
Five Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week (Mar. 5 through Mar. 11)
Date of News Release: 03/12/2007
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that five people died in five separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, Mar. 5 through Sunday, Mar. 11, 2007.
All of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and four of the victims were not wearing seat belts. Three of the crashes involved the suspected use of alcohol.
Single fatality crashes occurred in Grayson, Jefferson, Logan, Pulaski and Simpson counties.
Through Mar. 11, preliminary statistics* indicate that 114 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2007. This is 15 fewer than reported for this time period in 2006. Of the 106 motor vehicle fatalities, 64 victims were not wearing seat belts.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

Lindsay Lohan and Calum Best Get Kissy in the Bahamas
May 13, 2007 / Posted by: Michael K
Lindsay Lohan brought her new toy, Calum Best, to the Bahamas this weekend for the opening of the Cove at Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. They didn't seem shy as they kissed and "canoodled" on the beach. Lindsay even changed her bikini in front of everyone. It also wouldn't be a Hohan bikini moment without a good old fashioned nip-slip.
Calum is not hot. He looks like a janitor at an all girl's school. I give this 2 weeks MAX.

Research and discovery in the subarctic and arctic
The Murie Science and Learning Center is part of a national effort to increase the amount of scientific research in the national parks, and thus the effectiveness of science-informed decision making, and to make that science available to the public.
With a facility located in Denali National Park, the Murie Science and Learning Center represents eight of Alaska's arctic and subarctic national parks. The Center is run by National Park Service in partnership with Alaska Geographic and other organizations. Together the Murie partners create science education and research opportunities far richer than NPS could conduct alone.
Youth Camps, Field Courses and More
From multi-night kids' camps to short naturalist programs, our education programs connect you and the parks of Interior and Northern Alaska.Read More
Distance Learning
Teachers, bring a Denali ranger or park educator to your classroom for free! Our live, interactive presentations are both fun and educational.Read More
Meet Our Partners!
Research Learning Centers work with parks and various profit and non-profit entities to connect you to science research in your parks.Read More

Stamps QB Tate out for season; Riders DL George suspended
Calgary, AB (Sports Network) - Calgary Stampeders quarterback Drew Tate is out for the season with a fractured right arm suffered in his club's 36-30 victory over Saskatchewan in the West Division Semi-Final.
Tate was also the recipient of a helmet-to-helmet hit by Roughriders defensive lineman Tearrius George, earning George a one-game suspension that will be served in the Riders' 2013 regular-season opener.
Tate threw for 363 yards and two touchdowns in the victory, including the game-winning 68-yard score to Romby Bryant with seconds remaining in regulation.
Kevin Glenn, who was benched for last week's game in favor of Tate despite having played in 15 games in Tate's initial injury absence, has been given the nod under center as the Stamps head to Vancouver to face the B.C. Lions on Sunday with a trip to the 100th Grey Cup on the line.

The field of healthcare is growing and constantly evolving. To keep up with these changes and deliver care to patients as efficiently as possible, many employers rely on the expert support of medical assistants. By earning a Medical Assisting Certificate or Associate degree at Carrington College® or Carrington College® California, you can learn the skills necessary to perform common clinical procedures and administrative tasks.
The Medical Assisting programs at our institutions were designed to help you acquire the practical knowledge you'll be expected to know and the specialized skills you may be required to utilize as an entry-level medical assistant. This program:
- Is comprised of three segments: administrative, clinical and externship
- Gives you the ability to acquire real-world experience while performing an externship at an approved healthcare facility
- Can prepare you to take one or more national certification exams to attain credentials such as Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) or Certified Medical Assistant (CMA).* Credential preparation varies by location
A fast-growing field full of new opportunities
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of medical assistants is expected to grow 29% from 2012 to 2022.** You should also know that medical assisting is a career that can lead you to a number of opportunities within the healthcare field.
You can pursue employment in environments such as doctors' offices, urgent care clinics, hospitals (though not in emergency rooms), assisted living facilities, chiropractors' offices, massage therapy clinics and even medical spas.
We can help you develop a wide range of skills in a short amount of time
When you enter our Medical Assisting training program you can be confident that you will receive a broad education that prepares you to perform a variety of administrative, laboratory and clinical duties. The first segment of the program focuses on front office administrative responsibilities. These include everything from greeting patients to basic computer skills such as word processing to medical billing and coding. The next segment focuses on back office, or clinical responsibilities. You'll get extensive hands-on experience with tools and instruments in our realistic simulation labs. Additionally, you can get the instruction you need to meet state requirements (where needed) for injection and venipuncture. The final segment of the program is a 180-hour externship that gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your competency in your skills in the field.
Once you've completed the Medical Assisting program, you should be able to demonstrate your proficiency, professionalism and critical thinking abilities as you carry out the responsibilities of a medical assistant. These include:
- Performing clerical and bookkeeping functions, such as scheduling and the processing of insurance claims
- Recording vital signs and conducting a variety of diagnostic tests such as EKGs
- Drawing blood samples, giving injections and removing sutures
- Assisting with routine patient procedures
- Assisting physicians with in-office surgical procedures
- Providing patient education about care and medications
To learn more about educational and career opportunities in Medical Assisting, contact one of our Enrollment Services Representatives.

Comments about Digital Reference DRV100 Dynamic Cardioid Handheld Mic:
This mic was on-sale and the price was right. So I took a chance and bought it. I mainly use it at home for Karaoke. Vocal sounded similar to my 18 yr old Sure BG-1 mic. But the mic dome diameter is significantly smaller in size. The quality of the Sure mic seems better than this one and came with a 15ft cable. I had to order a separate cable for this mic in order to connect to my pre-amp.
I wish there was an on-off button on this mic.
Good when on sale.
Comments about Digital Reference DRV100 Dynamic Cardioid Handheld Mic:
Just what I wanted: A very good mic, on sale.
Good mic, didn't buy it for multiple features, No on-off switch, small sweet spot,...
Fantastic mic for the price and for my home "garage-band-type" uses.
Best value I have seen in years.
