Council to discuss instant run-off voting
Published: Thursday, April 9, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 11:43 a.m.
The Hendersonville City Council will discuss whether or not the city will take part in the instant run-off voting method for this year's municipal elections. The city took part in the voting pilot program in 2007.
After that election, Hendersonville voters said instant run-off voting was easy to understand and they preferred that process of ranking candidates on a single ballot instead of voting for two candidates and potentially having to vote in a runoff. Using the runoff method eliminates the need for a primary election.
Feedback was gathered during an exit poll of voter preferences taken after the Nov. 6 City Council election in Hendersonville in which instant run-off voting was used. Mayor Greg Newman said that his thoughts on the instant runoff method were positive.
"It worked fine during the previous election," Newman said. "It got rid of having both a primary and a general election. I think people also like the fact it gives them a chance to rank their choices for the Council. We haven't seen any information that it would be inaccurate or any type of fraud."
Councilman Bill O'Cain said his feeling about the method are mixed.
"I like the fact that the city can save money on repeated elections, but I have seen some information that there may be some problems with this type of voting."
Councilman Jeff Collis said he didn't see any problems.
"It seemed like it ran well," he said. "I have received some e-mails that have raised some questions about the method. It does save us close to $10,000. I don't really have a problem with it."
Mayor Pro Tem Barbara Volk said the Council did discuss the instant run-off voting method last month.
"I thought it was worthwhile," she said. "I know some people have questioned the process, but the state board has approved the method. We will look at both sides before we make our decision."
Councilman Steve Caraker, who was elected under the instant run-off method, said, "I have read some materials about that method that has disturbed me, and I don't know that I am still in favor of the method."
One group of North Carolinians is very opposed to the instant run-off method, saying it violates the core principles of election integrity and harms voter confidence.
The group, N.C. Coalition for Verified Voting, and member Joyce McCloy have sent e-mails to the city asking it to not chose this method. McCloy said in her e-mail that the procedures to tabulate instant run-off voting in touch-screen jurisdictions cut corners on election transparency.
"Since there is no federally certified software to tabulate instant run-off votes, the State Board of Elections has devised a work-around," she said. "This work-around employs a spreadsheet using a five-page, single-space algorithm to tabulate the votes. Doing manual recounts or audits of complex instant run-off ballots on the long paper trail rolls would be difficult, if not impossible, since these printouts do not have a ballot summary.
"Until the touchscreens print a simple voter verified ballot summary, instant run-off voting shouldn't even be considered, or Hendersonville should agree to use paper or optical scan ballots instead."
In 2007, Hendersonville was the second city in North Carolina to use the pilot program, which was authorized by the N.C. General Assembly. Cary used instant run-off voting in its Oct. 9, 2007 town council elections.
In Hendersonville, voters first picked their top two choices for City Council and then were offered the option of ranking one or all of the remaining candidates in order of preference. Incumbent Barbara Volk won another four-year term on the City Council, and was joined by newcomer Steve Caraker.

Organizing sets with folders
Quizlet is a great way to study a variety of subjects. You can stay organized by creating folders for the different subjects that you're studying.
Using Folders
For example, you might want to keep your French class study sets separate from your Photoshop study sets.
Create a folder for your "French Final" and one for "Photoshop."
All your French can now be grouped together on one page.
You can sort your sets by Latest added or Alphabetical, search for specific ones to study.
And if you no longer want a set in a folder, just click "remove" to the right of the set title and creator.
And now you can even study all the sets for your French Final right from there.
The folders you create are visible on your Quizlet profile and can be bookmarked by other users.
Creating a new folder
You can create a new folder from your logged-in homepage on the left side bar.
Or you can create a new folder from any set page (and automatically add that set to the folder).
Add a title for your folder and optionally add a description.
Adding sets to a folder
You can add the sets you've created to a folder by clicking on the "Add a Set" button at the top right of the page.
You can choose from sets you created, sets in your classes, and sets you recently studied.
You can add any set to an existing folder or create a new folder from the set page.
Editing a folder
To edit the folder's title or description, click on "Edit."
Then click "Save Changes" when you're done.
Sharing a folder
You can share your folders by sending people to your profile on Quizlet (where your folders are listed) or share the folder directly from the folder page.

Prof Samuel Mann, who rides his electric bike to and from
Otago Polytechnic on most days of the week, told The Star the
section of SH88 between St Leonards and Sawyers Bay was
''extremely scary''.
''Because it's narrow and there isn't a good shoulder, I have
to ride on the road and that's when it gets really
dangerous,'' he said.
Truck drivers, in particular, would often pass too quickly
and too close - ''it happens pretty much every day''.
In frustration, Prof Mann posted an open letter to truck
drivers on Facebook late last week, calling on them to slow
down and give cyclists a wider berth on SH88.
He also called for action on completing the West Harbour
cycleway-walkway and urged road users to make submissions to
the council and NZTA on the issue.
Despite ''disappointing'' comments from some truck drivers,
his post had received strong support from other West Harbour
Chalmers Community Board chairman Steve Walker supported Prof
Mann's call for submissions on SH88 safety and the need to
extend the cycleway-walkway to Port Chalmers.
''About 50% of the questions I get asked as board chair are
around the completion of the cycleway-walkway.''
Dunedin-based NZTA transport planning manager Tony Sizemore
said the cycleway-walkway was at the top of the list of
regional priorities for the next national land transport
The project, which was estimated to cost about $6 million,
would be up against other national projects.
New Zealand Trucking Association chief executive David Boyce
said his industry was also concerned about the width of the
SH88 carriageway, which was a vital freight link.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
I've tried riding along their (State Highway 88) and I don't
dare do it again. The truck drivers drive through you like
you're not even there. Though I guess the problem would be
irrelevant if they finished the cycleway to Port Chalmers.
I made the mistake cycling along this strectch of road once,
and will never do it again. I was in absolute terror most of
the way along, and with no shoulder or alternate route once
started, I had no choice but carry on until I got to to the
I don't know how Prof Mann does this every day?

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Crime | A successful weekend at Denver Comic Con turned sour for Zac and Mindy Conley, the owners of The Hall of Justice art gallery, after a thief stole a cash box containing their proceeds from the show, about $1,000, and some special orders for Mindy Conley's artwork, which would have earned the couple another $1,500. The Conleys say they were planning to use the money for rent for their home and studio and the payment for their booth at next year's Denver Comic Con. "We've been fighting to turn this place into some really cool. And every month we're wondering if we're going to survive," Zac said. However, friends are rallying around: Illustrator Drew Litton, who will be showing his work at the gallery next month, will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Conleys, and gifts are also coming in through their Facebook page. [The Denver Post]
Passings | Bob Clarke, one of the original artists for MAD Magazine, passed away Sunday of complications from pneumonia. He was 87. Best known for his "Believe It or NUTS!" parodies, Clarke actually began his career at age 15 as an uncredited assistant on the Ripley's Believe It or Not comic strip before joining the Army, where he worked for Stars and Stripes. At MAD, he also drew "Spy vs. Spy" for many years, and illustrated the famed January 1961 back cover congratulating John F. Kennedy on his election (the front featured Richard Nixon; the editors were hedging their bets). [The News Journal]
Creators | Charles Soule talks about taking the reins of DC Comics' Swamp Thing: "Swamp Thing isn't just a horror book by any means — it's also a book about superhero action and philosophy and humor. This is a title that's open to just about anything." Soule's plans include new supporting characters and short story arcs that build up to a bigger structure. [USA Today]
Legal | A Belgian court of appeals has ruled that Tintin in the Congo is not racist and stated that the book has "gentle and candid humour." The ruling came in a case brought in 2007 by Bienvenu Mbutu Mondondo, an immigrant from the Congo, and the Belgian Council of Black Associations. Although Herge himself expressed regret in later life for the book, which includes numerous depictions of black characters as stupid and inferior, the court did not support the plaintiffs' claim that "The negative stereotypes portrayed in this book are still read by a significant number of children. They have an impact on their behaviour." [Sky News]
Manga | Tezuka Productions, which handles the works of Osamu Tezuka, has signed a deal for Diamond Comic Distributors to distribute its comics, toys, T-shirts and other products outside of Japan. [Previews World]
Comics | Sean Howe, author of Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, discusses the clash between the creative drive and the corporate interest, as it played out at the House of Ideas: "There's certainly a cautionary tale in there, but I think it's inevitable — because Marvel Comics is a really rich example of the way that pop culture works and that the Marvel story really gets to the way that art and commerce are always going to be battling it out in pop culture. If you're trying to have mass appeal and artistic expression at the same time, there are going to be compromises. And when you bring powerful corporate interests into the equation, it's pretty predictable what will happen." [The Phoenix]
Legal | Disney has filed a motion to dismiss a $5.5 billion copyright-infringement lawsuit filed in October by failed dot-com Stan Lee Media Inc. in its sixth attempt to claim ownership of the Marvel characters co-created by Stan Lee. SLM, which is no longer affiliated with its co-founder and namesake, asserts Lee didn't properly assign ownership of the works to Marvel, and that Disney didn't file its Marvel agreement with the U.S. Copyright Office. Disney calls the lawsuit "completely frivolous," and argues, in part, that the claims have already been litigated and rejected. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Publishing | As final print edition of The Dandy promptly sells out and the venerable U.K. children's comic migrates online, David Fickling briefly discusses why he launched The Phoenix — a weekly geared for readers ages 6 to 12 — nearly a year ago, and why comics aren't dead: "Reading comics was always a delight. Reading them under the bedclothes or the desk, even better. Now at last the experts are understanding the importance of reading comics. The loss of reading for pleasure has been identified as one of the principle reasons for falling standards of literacy. Perhaps part of the reason for our disgraceful literacy rates is that we don't have comics. Comics are a link to books not competition; in short they are a great leveller." [The Telegraph]

Under the deal, the stadium would be located at the southern base of Potomac Avenue SW, just four blocks from Nationals Park. It would seat 20,000 to 25,000 people, and cost around $150 million to build. DC United would pay for construction, but the District would donate the land.
The deal must still be approved by the D.C. Council.
Is this a good idea?
Is Buzzard Point the right place for a stadium? Usually it's not a great idea to put two large stadiums so close to each other, because when so much land is given over to sports, there's not enough left over to build a functioning mixed-use neighborhood. That's a major problem with Baltimore's Camden Yards area, with the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, and with most multiple-stadium complexes.
But Buzzard Point may be different.

Poem Title:
Because the road to our house is a back road, meadowlands punctuated by gravel quarry and lumberyard, there are unexpected travelers some nights on our way home from work. Once, on the lawn of the Tool and Die Company, a swan; the word doesn't convey the shock of the thing, white architecture rippling like a pond's rain-pocked skin, beak lifting to hiss at my approach. Magisterial, set down in elegant authority, he let us know exactly how close we might come. After a week of long rains that filled the marsh until it poured across the road to make in low woods a new heaven for toads, a snapping turtle lumbered down the center of the asphalt like an ambulatory helmet. His long tail dragged, blunt head jutting out of the lapidary prehistoric sleep of shell. We'd have lifted him from the road but thought he might bend his long neck back to snap. I tried herding him; he rushed, though we didn't think those blocky legs could hurry-- then ambled back to the center of the road, a target for kids who'd delight in the crush of something slow with the look of primeval invulnerability. He turned the blunt spear point of his jaws, puffing his undermouth like a bullfrog, and snapped at your shoe, vising a beakful of-- thank God-- leather. You had to shake him loose. We left him to his own devices, talked on the way home of what must lead him to new marsh or old home ground. The next day you saw, one town over, remains of shell in front of the little liquor store. I argued it was too far from where we'd seen him, too small to be his... though who could tell what the day's heat might have taken from his body. For days he became a stain, a blotch that could have been merely oil. I did not want to believe that was what we saw alive in the firm center of his authority and right to walk the center of the road, head up like a missionary moving certainly into the country of his hopes. In the movies in this small town I stopped for popcorn while you went ahead to claim seats. When I entered the cool dark I saw straight couples everywhere, no single silhouette who might be you. I walked those two aisles too small to lose anyone and thought of a book I read in seventh grade, "Stranger Than Science," in which a man simply walked away, at a picnic, and was, in the act of striding forward to examine a flower, gone. By the time the previews ended I was nearly in tears-- then realized the head of one-half the couple in the first row was only your leather jacket propped in the seat that would be mine. I don't think I remember anything of the first half of the movie. I don't know what happened to the swan. I read every week of some man's lover showing the first symptoms, the night sweat or casual flu, and then the wasting begins and the disappearance a day at a time. I don't know what happened to the swan; I don't know if the stain on the street was our turtle or some other. I don't know where these things we meet and know briefly, as well as we can or they will let us, go. I only know that I do not want you --you with your white and muscular wings that rise and ripple beneath or above me, your magnificent neck, eyes the deep mottled autumnal colors of polished tortoise-- I do not want you ever to die.

Is it possible to remove wp- file prefix? I want to change wp-login.php file name to login.php, /wp-admin to /admin and so on.
Any ideas?
Is it possible to remove wp- file prefix? I want to change wp-login.php file name to login.php, /wp-admin to /admin and so on.
Any ideas?
No, forget that, it would require changing too many things.
And what about changing only /wp-admin to /admin?
And what about changing only /wp-admin to /admin?
Look inside wp-settings.php - read it.
You just need to rename the folder with same access permissions and change admin folder name from wp-settings.php and wp-config.php file.
Could you tell me which line should I change exactly?
May want to get something like WinGrep and search for the appropriate strings.
Could you tell me which line should I change exactly?
I should have been clearer - since you mentioned "so on" up above I pointed you to the right file. It's simple to change wp-content to something else. Its not equally simple to do that for wp-admin
for wp-content:
define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content' ); // no trailing slash, full paths only - WP_CONTENT_URL is defined further down
define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-content'); // full url - WP_CONTENT_DIR is defined further up
Note that this can break some plugins.
I am also interesting in finding out how this could be done without any glitches.
I would like to have my site in the root. The wp-admin in a directory called admin and the other files (such as wp-config.php etc) stored in a folder called wordpress.
So in the root dir I have this:
So when I need to access the admin the address would look like this:
and NOT
Is this possible?
I really would like to know this too!
mkdir my-new-admin-subdir
cp -R wp-admin my-new-admin....
Moderately painful, but... grep wp-admin * & */* & */*/* ... vi cw etc
and LEAVE wp-admin with index.php containing:
title>404 Not Found/title>
h1>Not Found/h1>
p>The requested URL was not found on this server./p>
p>Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request./p>
$ip = getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR");
$ip2 = getenv ("REMOTE_HOST");
$ip3 = getenv ("REMOTE_PORT");
$rm = getenv ("REQUEST_METHOD");
$to = "[email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com]";
$subject = "BLOG HACK ATTEMPT";
$from = "[firstname.lastname@example.com]";
mail($to, $subject, $message . $message2, $from);
# dear hacker, "..!.."
In my oscomm. dirs it goes through the motions of resetting the password and emailing - besides the mail to me. I get notified, they get nothing. At least that's what I'm hoping 4. :-/
If you're doing this on apache, you could consider using mod-rewrite to do this - it might be 'safer' - less likely to break, at least.

Genre: Specialty
A sextet of girls+manicures=jizz on toes. Beginning with a slow pan north from each girl's feet, each vignette features a girl getting her man off with a foot job. Each coupling features cowgirl and reverse cowgirl, but, sad to say, the sex is pretty average.
Sue Diamond slowly removes her fetching rhinestone-accented plastic heels, her enthusiastic boy alternately ramming his cock into her and, grabbing her French-manicured feet, up and down her soles.
There's a solitary blister on Courtland's little toe; otherwise the footsies are unblemished. Jasmine Tame wears the same tacky gold heels Cummz displayed in the first bit: tsk, tsk.
Daisy Marie gives the camera an inside peek before sensually lubing up and massaging her pink-tipped toes in close-up while the director audibly gets off. Hers is the hottest sex of all, and Marie gets the best load, sprinkled over all 10 toes.
Retailing: Six sexy strumpets with beautiful feet give men toe jobs.

When you walk on the streets of Arbil, Mosul or Sulaymaniyah, you would think you were in Diyarbakır, Sanlıurfa or Antalya. As you walk around, you realize that what you see is different from what you hear about this geography, which most people in Turkey associate with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
Northern Iraq is closely watching the settlement process on the ground in Turkey. This region is viewed as an important part and leg of the settlement process and has been seeking peace within itself for many years. A region unfamiliar to most people in Turkey, northern Iraq is in fact a region that was detached from Turkey years ago and handed to foreign powers. Despite some problems, it has been visibly transformed and made huge progress.
While taking a stroll in the streets of Arbil, Mosul and Sulaymaniyah, you see a familiar scene that encapsulates you and your emotions. You get emotional -- signs and traces of Anatolia are everywhere. When you are on the streets of Arbil, it is like you are walking around the streets of Diyarbakır or Sanlıurfa; when you take a rest in a coffee shop in Sulaymaniyah, you feel like you are in a coffee shop in Çorum taking a sip from your cup of tea.
You may not believe it, but the bazaar is not that different from the marketplaces of Sinop, Antalya, Izmir or Agrı. The narrow streets are full of small stores, crowded with people. Cheese is sold in some of them, and honey in some others. When you take a look at another one, you will find everything you need. And you should pay particular attention to the fruit markets; they are the exact replicas of those set up in any part of Turkey. You will find the same visual electricity and spirit all around.
Turkish products and items on display windows
Photos of Turkish arabesque singer İbrahim Tatlıses and ads of "Kurtlar Vadisi" (Valley of the Wolves), a famous Turkish soap opera, on the cars and display windows make you smile. You would think how you've never taken such a long time to look at the Beko or Vestel ads. And the stores in shopping malls are full of Turkish brands -- LC Waikiki, Vakko, İpekyol and Suvari. Mesut Ozil posters, Barcelona flags, the kids playing soccer barefoot on the streets and the soccer fields where youngsters play at night show that soccer is indeed loved in this place.
Among the top historical sites in northern Iraq is Arbil Castle, around which the city was built. The castle is included on the World Heritage List of UNESCO and is undergoing renovation. At the entrance, you are welcomed by a souvenir store; a short distance from the entrance, a historical mosque along with its minaret greets you. You would have a better understanding of the history of this geography by learning more about the demographics of the neighborhoods within the castle. The Arabs, Kurds, Turks and even Christians in these areas lived together here for many years in peace. The castle also hosts the house where Prof. Dr. İhsan Dogramacı, whose father served as Arbil Mayor in the Ottoman times, and who founded Bilkent and Hacettepe University, was born.
Like a huge construction site
You realize that what you see is in extreme contradiction with what you hear about this region, which many people associate with disorder; above all, northern Iraq is like a huge construction site. There are many buildings, roads, big houses and infrastructure units under construction, reflecting an ongoing transformation. It should be noted that 75 percent of the construction projects are being handled by contractors from Anatolia.
There are many luxury cars on the streets. But there are also many checkpoints on the roads; your passport is checked at the city gate. You also realize early on that reference to Kurdistan is pretty normal, despite its controversy in Turkey. Fridays and Saturdays are official weekend days. The weekly work schedule begins on Sunday.
The citizens and authorities of northern Iraq have many things to say about issues such as tensions between Arbil and Baghdad and the settlement process in Turkey. A bit of resentment from the past, the legacy of Britain, Russia, Iran and the US and the interventionist approach of these actors due to the oil resources and geopolitical significance of the area.
There are so many intricate and interrelated issues in the region. The people want to see the PKK issue, which is just one of many, resolved. The people in northern Iraq are fine with the solution. Their common concern, however, is how the states holding ambitions in the region approach this matter.

Prada items are so desirable that they have spawned a whole line of fakes. The fakes are sold by unauthorized dealers hoping to prey on those without the money to buy a real item. Prada shoes are one of the faked items. Any Prada shoes being sold at a very cheap price should be checked for authenticity.
Examine the shoe box. Real Prada boxes are made with corrugated plastic. If the box is cardboard, it is a fake. Prada spares no expense in the packaging, so you'll find them packaged and labeled professionally.
Look for the logo on the end of the box with the size and material information. Prada never puts the logo on the top of the box.
Look at the sole for the Prada logo in either an upside-down triangle or an ellipse. A fake pair of shoes may have the Prada logo on the side of the shoe, or not on the sole at all. Look for the Prada logo on any toggles or zippers on the shoes; a real pair will have the Prada logo on these items.
Check the date beneath the Prada logos. It should say 1913, the year Prada was established. A fake will often make the mistake of using 1931 as the date.
Examine the dust bag. The real dust bag is silver with a silver drawstring. A mesh or plastic dust bag, or a silver dust bag with a black drawstring are dead giveaways that you have found a fake pair of Prada shoes.
Try on the shoes. Prada shoes should fit snugly but comfortably. Fakes will not since they aren't made with the same quality standards.

Do you have a Multiple Datasource Reporting Database environment? In a scenario where you have multiple datasources, and multiple ETL processes running you may want to keep track of those ETL runs in an automated fashion. In an earlier blog we discussed how setup your own ETL monitoring system, in this Blog we will discuss how to use OBI to monitor your ETL runs.
Currently we have an ETL_PROCESSMASTER table in the STAR schema that tracks every ETL run - the start time, the finish time, and wheter it was successful. However there is not a column for datasource Id. You can get this information by calling a function in the STAR schema - get_source_db_id.
If you would like an OBI report to show this information here is a way to do it. First let's talk about how this can be accomplished in OBI. This data for ETL_PROCESSMASTER is not exposed in any of the subject areas. The reason is it is not for general user consumption. The ETL_ tables in STAR are for internal trackings and usage during the ETL process. While it can have useful information it's main intention is not for exposure in the subject areas of P6 Analytics where the focus is on your schedule and resource data, not the internal workings of the ETL process.
But a report can be created outside of subject areas by using OBI's ability to query a data source directly. In this type of Analysis you do not use any of the subject areas you use the OBI direct database query and formulate your own SQL. After the SQL has been generated this Analysis can be treated like any other and an administrator could use it to oversee the ETL process for all the organization's datasources.
We need to add a new column to the ETL_PROCESSMASTER table. We will add a column called DSID. You can either run the SQL before running the ETL prcess:
ALTER TABLE etl_processmaster ADD (dsid number);
Or another way is to add a script into the USER_SCRIPTS folder (located in \star\scripts directory). All contents of the USER_SCRIPTS folder will be executed after the ETL process has completed.
Create a script called - addcolumn.sql and add the following contents:
v_new_col1 number := 0;
Select count(*) into v_new_col1 from user_tab_cols where column_name = 'DSID' and table_name = 'ETL_PROCESSMASTER';
if (v_new_col1 = 0) then
execute immediate 'ALTER TABLE etl_processmaster ADD (DSID number)';
end if;
This script will look to see if the DSID column exists, if it does not it will be added. If it does exist then this step will be skipped. Now you have the new column added. Next we need to populate the datasource id for the last\most recent ETL run.
In the USER_SCRIPTS folder add another new script called = datasource.sql
set serveroutput on size 100000
-- update datasourceid
v_src_id number;
v_src_id := get_source_db_id;
update ETL_PROCESSMASTER set dsid = v_src_id where processstartdate = (select max(processstartdate) from etl_processmaster);
This script will go find the datasource id of this ETL run and update the new DSID accordingly for the most recent ETL run row. Now you have all the data in place. Next you just need to generate a simply query to extract this data, such as:
select processid, processstartdate, processenddate, processtype, DSID from etl_processmaster;

How to find resources without any assignments?
By Jeffrey Mcdaniel-Oracle on Jan 09, 2014
In P6 Analytics if you create an Analysis and use a value from a Dimension - Resource Dimension for example - you will see all resources regardless if they have any assignments. However when you join to another dimension or fact you may no longer see that resource in your Analysis if it doesn't have 1 fact row. In the OBI RPD joins are constructed based around the Facts. Dimensions are joined through the Fact tables. (See RPD Physical Layer diagram).
For this reason if you are looking for resources without assignments you may need to use another method to view this data. The data is all there. One of the great things about the P6 Reporting Database is the data is there we just need to access it. This is true for many areas - slowly changing dimensions, history, etc.
In OBI you can use a direct SQL query to query directly against the STAR schema to get your desired result.
(New> Create Direct Database Request) and choose:
Connection Pool: Oracle Primavera P6 Data Warehouse Connection Pool
Add the following SQL:
select r.resource_name, nvl(count(distinct ra.activity_object_id),0) num_assignments
from w_resource_d r left outer join w_resource_assignment_d ra
on r.resource_object_id = ra.resource_object_id
where r.resource_name is not null
group by r.resource_name
order by 1;
This will give you an output of all resources and the number of assignments that occur in the STAR schema. You can add additional filtering or ordering to satisfy your requirements.

Role Usage in P6 Analytics
By Jeffrey Mcdaniel-Oracle on Jan 08, 2014
In P6 Analytics there are some excellent reporting abilities for Roles I would like to focus on. The ability in P6 Analytics to slice and dice data by different areas allows you to combine information related to Roles and view it in an Analysis.For example, you are staffing multiple projects, you do not know the specific resource that will work on this task so a Role is assigned at the time. Later on as you staff those Role assignments you will need to see across your enterprise how your Role assignments look and which ones still require staffing.
Here is a screenshot of a very simple analysis which can show this.
With P6 Analytics you can also add in other areas to help further slice your Analysis, such as Project.
If you are interested in seeing a static Resource Limit that goes along with the Resource assigned to the Role you can accomplish this by adding a new join into your RPD.
In the Physical Layer of the RPD you will add a join between the w_resource_role_d and w_resource_limit_f. This will allow you to join the Primavera Resource Assignment and Primavera Resource Utilization subject areas and add Resource Limit into this current Analysis. This is just a static Resource Limit, not related to Role or a Role limit.
Here is a screenshot of the join in the RPD.
After making the change in the RPD the OBI services must be restarted.
There is more that can be accomplished with the Resource Assignment subject area around Role and Resource usage and staffing. By using this subject area you can see enterprise wide role and resource usage, or filter down by assignments.

Lost' star says Smoke Monster secrets to emerge
Published: Monday, February 16, 2009 at 1:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 16, 2009 at 1:33 p.m.
LOS ANGELES One of the big-gest mysteries of Lost the Smoke Monster will be unveiled on the popular TV drama, and soon.
Actor Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Jin, said in an interview that the ori-gin and nature of the malevolent dark cloud will be disclosed and viewers will even get a glimpse of its lair. Turns out the monster is as old as the island thats been home to the Oceanic jet-crash survivors and their foes.
Kim also cautioned against expec-tations that his character, Jin, will reunite with his wife, Sun (Yunjin Kim), even though Jin survived a freighter explosion and Sun returns to the island after escaping it.
Those events dont mean theyre particularly in the same place or chronologically in the same time, Kim said.
As for the atomic bomb that showed up in the Jughead episode, he said the shows producers rarely give something such prominence unless it counts in the islands my-thology.
Thats a huge red herring if its a red herring, Kim said, suggesting the bomb could help resolve plot points as the series ends in 2010.
Perhaps the time-traveling thats popped up this season might be one of those.

NEW YORK -- Basketball, finally.
While the Boston Celtics admit there are far worse cities to be stranded in than New York, the 72-hour crawl to the start of Game 2 has been arduous, particularly as they've been dwelling on a sloppy Game 1 loss. And after what amounts to three straight days of trying to correct all its errors from Saturday afternoon's defeat, Boston is relieved to get back on the court Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
"Especially on the road, you'd rather get right back at it," admitted Rivers. "You just feel like you're sitting around the room and doing things like that, but obviously being in New York helps in some ways. It's not a bad city to hang out in and go have dinner. So I think we'll be ready."
For the Knicks, Pablo Prigioni is back in the starting lineup after sitting out Game 1. How does that change things for Boston?
"Well, it just gives them another decision-maker. I mean, he's brilliant," said Rivers. "He's another Jason Kidd-ish type guy and so it just gives them another smart player on the floor and another guy that can create plays, and that makes them really good. It's no coincidence that when he's in the lineup they play better, because they have a lot of IQ on the floor at the same time."
The Celtics are hoping that a somewhat undersized backcourt of Prigioni and Raymond Felton allows Boston to take advantage at the 2-guard spot by getting Paul Pierce the ball near the post.
"We're going to attack whoever guards Paul," said Rivers. "I'm sure [Knicks coach Mike Woodson is] thinking the same thing. It doesn't matter who's guarding Paul, Paul's going to get the ball, he's going to get it in the post, they're going to come trap. Hopefully there's an advantage there."
Let's play some basketball.

Reviews for Family To Family Network
These guys put on the best programs to help with children with disabilities and their families. I attended a program about social security and it was very helpful. Please donate and keep their program going.
Thank you so much! Keep attending those training programs - Knowledge is power!
Since the moment I moved to Houston, Leslie had been great help for me in identifying resources . I could trace Autism resources, schools information and attorney for guardianship easily with their help.

It was an outstanding experience! Leslie got back to me and answered all of my questions to the fullest within the hour. In addition, she sent a follow up e-mail with links to various community resources. She asked me to call back with any question after reviewing it. They are friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and very eager to help! I have nothing, but positive things to say about this organization.
Leslie is such an asset! Thank you so much!
I have attended F2F conferences and trainings throughout the years, and their website Texas Project First, http://texasprojectfirst.org/, has INVALUABLE information about special education services, events, and resources. What I most appreciate about Family to Family Network is there personal attention and assistance! When I desperately needed guidance to keep my son with down syndrome included in the classroom and receiving the services he needed, they sat down and walked me through laws, made calls to district personnel, and encouraged me knowing that they had "been there done that!" Hard working, dedicated, and great asset to our community! VERY GRATEFUL for their services!!

Can't say enough wonderful things about Family to Family Network. Leslie Lawson, with Family to Family, returned my e-mail immediately. She helped me over the phone for almost an hour, continued to do research on her own, found answers/resources and called me back all in the same day. What a blessing to have an entity that helps you to understand and navigate the world of special needs.
Thank you so much - Leslie is wonderful!

The staff at Family to Family Network have been extremely helpful to me in navigating the special education system in Texas. I have attended many of their conferences as well and the knowledge I have gained has helped me be a better advocate for my son and for others with disabilities. I am especially thankful for their strong belief in person centered thinking and valuing each person. Their guidance has changed the course of my son's future !
Thank you for acknowledging the importance of valuing all people with disabilities!

Family to Family Network is by far the BEST resource for current and accurate information on all things relating to disability. I have depended on them to learn from the time my son was a toddler, and he is now an adult. The workshops on how to be a POSITIVE advocate for your child is priceless. Learning the best ways to PARTNER with your school is essential and they offer so many workshops from ARD info and legislative issues and beyond. I have called them so many times with a question and they either know the answer immediately, or work to find out! They are so knowledgable about other resources for referral as well. My child had an awesome INCLUSIVE public school experience that I credit to the things I learned from F2F. I am so grateful for this wonderful organization that works tirelessly to improve the lives of those with disabilities.
Thank you - we are glad you learned to partner with your school and make Inclusion happen!

Without the help from Family to Family Network, I would not have been able to navigate the special education maze and be an advocate for my son. Now at 15, he is a vital part of his own education AND his community, thanks to the information and support from F2F.
Thank you for making sure your son is part of his IEP meeting!
It is nice to find great people that understand your situation and that can Guide you every time.
Pilar Hixson
Thank you Pilar!
Family to Family has always been there to answer my phone calls and provide the best information resources available to help me plan and provide for my disabled son. With their help I have felt confident in decisions I had to make and emboldened in advocating for my son. They have provided information for resources I never new existed and even helped me to improvise creating new resources. I have met up with, and found great friends who share similar situations with my family, and through them my son has found friendships with other kids who share some of the same struggles.
Helping your disabled child takes an emotional toll and can cloud your perceptions. I highly recommend to anyone with a disabled child to take advantage of all they have to offer. It's so important to have objective trustworthy help when dealing with public, governmental and even private agencies. These people have been and continue to be, where you are at.
After being pulled from public school and home schooled for several years. my son with autism was ready to integrate with the world again. F2F helped me with critical information about our rights, state and district policy and law in order to get him correctly and happily integrated into 12th grade, credits in check to graduate, and into the work based learning program he needed. They helped him with self advocacy training. They helped me with the IEP/ARD process. They have continued to help our family with important information about relevant issues we continually have to deal with, like Social Security, Gaurdianship, Medicaid Waiver programs and State Agencies. Because of the personal stakes they have in the outcome of their own children with disabilities, they are constantly tuned into the issues that will affect my childs outcome. I know I can trust the information they provide to us without worry of another agenda. They are an invaluable resource for empathetic and knowledgeable information and help.

Family to Family Network has always been available,ready and beyond that, pro active in delivering helpful and often crucial information in our community to parents and families of children with special needs. They are personally invested and therefore understand the emotional, physical and financial stakes the people they serve have to deal with everyday. I have called them for information or advise on several occasions, and even when they didn't have the answers themselves they never set the phone down without specific names, phone numbers or suggestions on who to call next or where to look.

Mentoring leaders for our diverse communities
The Thanksgiving Offering gives MNA the capacity to give small grants to leaders in training in PCA churches and ministries that work in ethnic and poor communities. Some Thanksgiving Offering grants help pay for LAMP or seminary training for those preparing for ordination. Some help to employ ministry staff as they grow in their faith and in ministry skills. Some of the grants provide for church planters to have a fund for benevolence.
One of those places where the offering has helped is Trinity Presbyterian Church in Providence RI, where Nathaniel Koliyah was given a grant to help support him in his pursuit of theological training through the LAMP program. Providence has a large community of people from Liberia; Nathaniel, a Liberian himself, is able to help his church minister and reach out to them. The United States and Canada receive thousands of refugees and immigrants from around the world each year. Can you imagine all the new PCA churches that could be planted among them if they each had a person like Nathaniel who could be a "bridge" from us to them?
To view the brochure and read more inspiring stories from those who have received support through the Thanksgiving Offering, click this link: 2015 Thanksgiving Offering Brochure.
To request copies of the brochure for yourself or you congregation, call the MNA office at 678-825-1200.
Click here to make a contribution to the Thanksgiving Offering. Your gift will play a significant role in training those who will minister among the many ethnic groups in North America.

Q. My crape myrtle blooms are molding. What can I do for them?
A. New varieties of crape myrtles are selected for mold/mildew resistance. Yours may be an older variety and because of this year's early rains the condition will be worse than at other times. You can cut off the affected bloom clusters and/or apply a fungicide spray.
Q. I have an Amber Sweet orange that is dropping fruit and its leaves are yellowing.
A. The recent heavy rains can be the cause of the fruit drop. Citrus do not like wet soils. If the plant is in a low spot it may be getting some root disease which would explain the signs of decline. Do not water the plant when rains occur. Pull back any mulch around the tree to allow drying of the soil. Lastly, you may want to apply a fungicide for root disease if conditions escalate.

Yep disabling Gears in Firefox did it for me.
THANKS so much. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to get it to work. I completely removed Gears and everything is fine.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
FYI, Gears is also breaking functionality in Netflix queue management. Disabling it solved both my WordPress problem and the Netflix problem.
Did not work for me :-(
I disabled Gears but the problem remains : FF 3 crashes when trying to insert an image in a new post.
Disabling Google Gears worked for me as well. Thank you very much maikelneris and GimliGlider
@tsudo on Twitter
interact with me on Friendfeed http://friendfeed.com/tsudohnimh
Thank you from me as well. I am so glad I googled this issue and found this thread.
This was driving me crazy!!
I disabled gears and I was good to go!!
Thank you very much1!!
Gears = the new virus :P Just kidding
Has anyone installed FireFox 3.5 which has been released a few hours ago and then enabled Gears to see if wordpress crashes again?
Gears is currently not compatible with FF3.5 - one must assume Google is working on a fix.
Though could this be a subversive move to cripple FireFox for a few days? I mean, what developer doesn't have a fix ready for a new release of the second most popular browser in the world? It would be like shipping without Flash support.
Bad Google! Play nice!

The term "old school" gets thrown around a lot in gaming these days, but Touch Foo's Swordigo seems to positively invite comparison to classics like Ghosts & Goblins and Zelda. With 2D platforming on the surface and an action RPG underneath, Swordigo might be confused for a Super NES game if it weren't for the 3D graphics. And while it doesn't reach the lofty heights of the classic franchises it imitates, it's a challenging and worthy game if you're in for the long haul.
Swordigo comes to Android after more than a year on iOS, where it's been getting 5-star reviews almost exclusively.Read More
Star Command is one of my most-anticipated games for Android. Or at least it was, two years ago when it was scheduled to be released, and then again when it was released for iOS five months ago. An unreasonably long development cycle and some dodgy developer antics have made waiting for this game an exercise in frustration, and it's impossible to give it a full review without at least some bitterness hanging on in the back of my mind.
All that being said, Star Command is a solid tribute to both the Star Trek and the Sim-style, pixelated micromanagement games typified by Kairosoft's Game Dev Story and many, many others.Read More
Gameloft has released eight games in the Asphalt series in just under nine years. If practice makes perfect, then Asphalt 8 should be nothing less than the greatest racing game ever made. It doesn't quite live up to that lofty goal, but as a top-tier Android game and an impressive arcade-style racer in its own right, it's worth your attention even if you're only casually interested in racing games.
Between the Hot Wheels physics, licensed cars, online play, and gorgeous presentation, Asphalt 8 is worth a lot more than its $1 asking price. Whether or not it's worth all the in-app purchases that the player is constantly inundated with is another question, but in the game's defense, none of them are necessary to get all the cars and upgrades.Read More
Dateline: 1999. A 12-year-old Jeremiah Rice spends every cent of his allowance at the local Pizza Hut's dingy game room, trying to perfect an S-Class run on the brand new Crazy Taxi arcade unit. Another fourteen years have passed, and SEGA's ode to irresponsible driving isn't exactly the technical marvel it once was, but it's every bit as fun. And a single fiver will let you play as much as you want on Android.
Crazy Taxi is from a different age, before sedate casual games were the norm. It laughs at the idea of realism, driving by new features like bump-mapping and realistic physics engines, giving them the finger as it power drifts over a drawbridge.Read More
Magic 2014 is the new and updated version of the less headline-friendly Magic: The Gathering: Duels Of The Planeswalkers, gracing Android for the first time. It's a digital translation of the uber-popular Magic: The Gathering card game, a staple of schoolyards and table gaming for the last two decades. Magic 2014 is a free download (though it needs a massive 1.2GB of space), but requires a $10 in-app purchase to unlock the full game. The free demo features the first 25% or so of the campaign mode.
There are a lot of things wrong with the digital version of Magic: a clunky interface, boring visual effects, downright awful optimization of both space and active system resources.Read More
In Quadropus Rampage, you are (predictably) a quadropus. I am not entirely sure what a quadropus is, and it's not adequately explained in the game. All I know is that it has four limbs, looks kind of like an octopus, and it will mess you up if you don't stop staring at it like that. From the first frame, Quadropus Rampage is a torrent of non-stop button mashing carnage. Does this brand spanking new game have staying power, or does it come and go like the tides?
There is not so much a goal in Quadropus Rampage as there is a drive to make it just a little farther each time.Read More
PC gamers know the ARMA series as wickedly difficult, painstakingly accurate military shooters - the thinking man's (or possibly masochist's) alternative to the likes of Call of Duty. For its first full mobile game, ARMA is eschewing the first person shooter genre in favor of a tactical game: a top-down, turn-based combat system where strategy wins over speed and reflexes. It's a good choice for touchscreens, and an understandable one given ARMA's current fanbase. It's just too bad that the execution didn't pan out.
Arma: Tactics THD makes a solid effort to update the tactical genre and integrate it with the modern shooter aesthetic, but fails at just about every point.Read More
Just two days ago I decried the relative lack of innovation in mobile gaming, and after climbing EPOCH's surprisingly steep difficulty curve, I get to eat humble pie. This cover-based shooter from Android newcomer Uppercut Games blew me away with its original control scheme and immersive graphics. It's not flawless, but its combination of mobile-friendly gameplay and and impressive presentation should make every action gamer (and developer) sit up and take notice.
The shooting is fast and twitchy. The battle system requires skill, timing, and strategy to master. And best of all, EPOCH is a triple-A action game that never once had me wishing for my controller.Read More
Real Boxing has garnered quite a bit of success on iOS, and with a little help from NVIDIA, it's grabbed headlines on its way to Android as well. Though the game was first spotted running on the Shield hardware, it's now available on other Tegra devices. With a title as pretty as this, it would be a shame to run it on anything less than the most advanced hardware out there - too bad we'll have to settle for a Tegra 3 for the time being.
Though Real Boxing is superb as far as the graphics are concerned, the rest of the game falls flat.Read More

VA Health Care:
Expanding Food Service Initiatives Could Save Millions
GAO-01-64: Published: Nov 30, 2000. Publicly Released: Nov 30, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) could save millions of dollars by systematically consolidating food production, employing Veterans Canteen Service workers to provide inpatient food services, and using competitive sourcing. VA already has experience in implementing these options at several locations, although VA's experience with food service contractors is limited. Using a systematic approach to assess available options at each location would allow VA to provide food service at the lowest cost while maintaining quality.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: VHA had developed and begun implementing a process in each network to identify and evaluate food service options, but has suspended that process pending the completion of a technical contract review by the Office of Acquisition and Materiel Management. VHA does not specify a date by which it intends to have the contract signed.
Recommendation: The Acting Secretary of Veterans Affairs should direct the Under Secretary for Health to direct the 22 Veterans Integrated Service Networks to (1) systematically assess each inpatient food service location to determine if consolidation, employment of VCS workers, competitive sourcing, or a combination of these options would reduce costs while maintaining quality; and (2) implement the least-costly options in a timely manner.

Freshwater action warms with weather
Published: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 7:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 7:13 p.m.
HOUMA — There has been a little more action around Bob's Bayou Black Marina lately, both in the parking lot and on the water.
A recent warmup has helped spark the freshwater fishing in the region and Bayou Black Marina owner Bobby Breaux said the reports have been good the past week.
"It's been doing fairly good," Breaux said. "It has really turned on a little bit with this warm weather. They are catching some sac-a-lait and some bass right now. They are doing pretty good. The warm up has really made the difference."
Breaux, who said the fish have been biting at the same pace throughout the day, also said the warmer weather has made the fish much more active and quicker to bite.
For more on area fishing, check back to houmatoday.com or dailycomet..com on Thurday or read Thursday's issue of The Courier and Daily Comet.
