Critics See Wasted Time in Punishment of Tardy Students
October 5, 2002
Patricia Cavala's school day had gotten off to a sluggish start.
The 17-year-old said she had arrived just three minutes late at Roosevelt High School in
East Los Angeles after missing the bus one morning. She was sent to the "tardy room" for
the rest of the period, and instructed to write repeatedly: "I will not be late to school.... "
Youth Unite for Educational Justice
July 21, 2002
Shades of Power
On Saturday, July 20, over 300 high school youth and organizers from northern and southern California met in Los Angeles to plan a major, new campaign for educational justice starting in the fall.
All through the 1990's, as in the 1960's, Californian youth of color and supporters protested racist educational policies. They demanded Ethnic Studies and even went on hunger strikes for them. They demanded more faculty and staff of color. Thousands of high school and often middle school students held walkouts for their demands. No statewide organization existed to coordinate those efforts, although various efforts were made to create one.
Chicano Youth Face War in LA
April 28, 2002
It seems like every light pole on Whittier Boulevard in East Los Angeles is draped with the U.S. flag. Every 50 feet there is another.
Can this be the same boulevard that saw over 20,000 Chicanos march against the Vietnam War on Aug. 29, 1970, and popular Chicano reporter Rubén Salazar killed by police that day? Where thousands of students have fearlessly walked out of Eastside schools for three decades to demand educational equity and relevance?
Youth Demand Education as a Human Right
June 1, 2001
As 150 youth, parents, and community members filled the Gilroy Unified School Board meeting-room, board members looked on in disbelief. The garlic capital of the world-Gilroy, California- was being faced with its own race and class realities. The majority Chicano/Mexicano farmworking community had come to demand better education for their children and that the charges be dropped against Rebecca Armendariz, an 18-year old youth.
The New Youth Movement In California
April 7, 2001
Z Magazine
Last February, 42 mostly professional adults-lawyers, teachers, civil rights leaders, and older activists-were arrested for shutting down the Oakland jail to demonstrate against a vicious juvenile crime law. They did this out of a strong belief that it was time to show adult support for the many youth fighting that new injustice. In the days that followed, teenagers came up to me and said, "Thank you." No, I thought, I am thanking you. This article is about why.

This week's poetry podcast is an interview with fellow DC-area poet, Sandra Miller-Salyer. We have a great conversation about poetry, inspiration, publishing, copyright, and community.
I also asked Sandra to bring three poems:
– One that brought her to tears when she wrote it.
– One that makes her smile every time that she reads it.
– One of her favorite poems. (This actually turned out as a belated "Second Sunday" poem.)
Outro song:
"Missing You" by Bobby Tinsley

Since buffer synchronization is executed in the task queue context. lock task'mm is not safe? Graydon's patch is as following: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- static void release_mm(struct mm_struct * mm) { if (mm) up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); } /* Take the task's mmap_sem to protect ourselves from * races when we do lookup_dcookie(). */ static struct mm_struct * take_task_mm(struct task_struct * task) { struct mm_struct * mm; task_lock(task); mm = task->mm; task_unlock(task); /* if task->mm !NULL, mm_count must be at least 1.

If a task took its mmap * sem then came to sleep on buffer_sem we * will deadlock waiting for it. So we can * but try. This will lose samples :/ */ !!!! Note: here we did not get any deadlock(tail/head of CPU buffer is ported), but oops occasionally. if (!down_read_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem)) { /* FIXME: this underestimates samples lost */ atomic_inc(&oprofile_stats.sample_lost_mmap_sem); mm = NULL; } } return mm; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------- sample_lost_mmap_sem is extremely high (about 10% ~ 20% of total). To eliminate the influence of the high sample lost rate, we are considering to back port OProfile0.8.2 kernel support version: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- static void release_mm(struct mm_struct * mm) { if (!mm) return; up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); mmput(mm); } static struct mm_struct * take_task_mm(struct task_struct * task) { struct mm_struct * mm = get_task_mm(task); if (mm) down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); return mm; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------- above code in the kernel2.6 request get_task_mm/mmput supported in the kernel.

It's not fancy 'schmancy' but they use proper ingredients.
The food is good.
The waiters and waitresses are very friendly. Lucky for us, ours was Dutch young lady. So we could order in our own language ;-)
Recommended by friends, we finally made it to lunch - the sun came out and sitting outside in this glorious village is memorable.

Up to this point the first three reviewers were raving about this and
added a very positive vibe out for this movie. While I won't disagree
with them (it's a decent movie), I cannot fully share their enthusiasm.
The movie is excellently shot (moody if you want to call it that) and
has a stellar cast. But I never felt that it went places (no pun
intended) or had the upper hand on other, similar movies.
One of them being "The Divide", which I thought had some interesting ideas and was also confined in an area, but was also more compact and more suspenseful overall. The movie on hand is good too and if you like your end of the world thriller to have some drama and action mixed in, this won't disappoint you. Just don't expect it to be more than meets the eye (characters are well drawn, but nothing pushes this over the edge for me)

Focus on Funds
Herbalife Liveblog: How to Challenge a Hedge-Fund Short
I'm at the much-anticipated investor day for Herbalife (HLF), the health-products company that is battling back against hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman's short attack. See below for our live blog from the morning, and here for the late morning.
If you're new to this story, read here and here for the background on Ackman's accusation that Herablife is a pyramid scheme -- against which the stock has battled back to just under $40. Read here for wh y Third Point Capital's Dan Loeb took an eight percent stake in the company -- setting up a battle of well-known hedge-fund managers. Shares are rising more than three percent in premarket trading.
The New York Post this morning claims that activist investor Carl Icahn has also joined the fray.
9:01 a.m.: An investor relations official kicks off with the usual disclaimers: Forward-looking statements, etc.
9:02 a.m. Chief executive Michael O. Johnson takes the podium. "We are proud of a company that has created opportunity," he says. There's been a "tremendous amount of misinformation," pledging to counter it today. Johnson pledges to debunk the core misstatements by Pershing Square Capital Management and show that Herbalife is a "legitimate" company whose transparency is "unrivalled in our industry."
9:08 a.m.: Johnson says, "If you really want to know us, find an independent Herbalife distributor." He introduces chief operating officer Richard P. Goudis.
9:09: Goudis says Pershing is wrong to suggest Herablife isn't a products company. "We'll show you that Pershing intentionally used misinformation,"he says, pledging to counter it.
9:11 a.m.: Goudis responds to Pershing's charge that the company doesn't spend on R&D. He says the company used a strict GAAP definition when it said it had no R&D. "Let's take a look at what they chose not to share with you," he says. He compares Herbalife's R&D with competitors GNC and Nature's Bounty, whose R&D expenditures are in line with his own.
9:13 a.m.: Goudis spends a few moments on product purity. He's lost me in an argument about the stringency of the company's product standards, up to and including testing expiration dates, how well the product holds up against temperature change, and how it tests for microbiological impurity.
9:20 a.m.: Goudis says the company has over 300 distribution points around the world, not the three that Pershing claimed. If you count non-company locations the number rises to six hundred, which Pershing would have known "if they had called," he adds.
9:22 a.m.: Pershing would have you believe that Herablife's products are two to three times more expensive than competitors. "When you use the correct measure, and that is price per serving," the products are "very competitively priced," Goudis says.
9:23 a.m.: Goudis says Pershing inccrrectly uses eBay (EBAY) prices as a proxy for market prices. Most people look to eBay for a discount. he says. He's got a slide, but the item zips by in less than a minute and I can't get a moment to see it.
9: 25 a.m.: Vasilos Frankos, Ph.D, take the podium. Former director of the dietary supplement division of the FDA.
9:26 a.m.: Frankos explains why he moved to Herbalife after his government career. "I wanted to continue my career with a company that treated its customers the way I treated consumers at the FDA," he says.
9:27 a.m.: Frankos lambastes what he calls Pershing's "false and misleading comparison of Herablife with pharma R&D." Unlike pharma companies' patent protection, food and supplement companies cannot patent their nutrients, or natural ingredients, he says. "You can't patent Vitamin D, or Vitamin C, or fish oil," he says. Herablife spends its R&D budget on ensuring its products are safe, high quality and tasty, he adds. Herablife spends $44 million "in support of science across the company," he says.
9:34 a.m.: Investors aren't particularly impressed judging by the open of trading Thursday, but neither are they frightened. Shares are down fractionally four minutes after the open, at $39.80.
9:35: Wrapping up his remarks, Frankos says the company's commitment to science and quality is "unparalleled" in the industry.
9:37 a.m.: President Des Walsh takes the podium.
9:38 a.m.: Walsh pledges to take on Ackman's claim that there aren't many customers outside the distribution network.
9:39 a.m.: It is "no different from Costco," (COST) says Walsh, which has less visibility to the customers to whom its members sell.
9:39: Walsh says the firm will do away with the "myth" that there are no outside customers, via survey research by Lieberman Research. "Our distributions every single day are selling to millions of customers outside our distribution channel."
9:40 a.m.: Kim Rory of Lieberman Research take the podium.
9:42 a.m. Lieberman's survey of 2,000 respondents shows that five percent of the adult population said they bought Herbalife products recently, a "large" consumer base, she says. "That's 5.5 million households," she adds.
9:43 a.m.: Three-quarters of respondents said they signed up just to get the discounts on the product, says Roy.
9:45: Walsh is back on the podium. He says Pershing's Shane Deneen -- despite his good Irish name -- has it wrong when it comes to Herbalife's customers, pointing to Lieberman's findings.
9:48: Sixty three percent of "failed" Herablife distributors still recommend their friends and family sign up, Walsh says, citing Lieberman's survey findings. "These stats don't indicate victims," he proclaims. "In leaving Herbalife their message was 'Good company, good products, good people, It just didn't work out for me,'" he says.
9:54 a.m.: Don't miss Andrew Ross Sorkin's interview Herbalife this morning -- video halfway down the page.
9:55 a.m.: The nutrition clubs' appeal is about a shake, a tea ... "and a hug," says Walsh. "The reality is that many of these communities are in lower income neighborhoods, where people have a need for education about nutrition," he says. They perform a "hugely valuable public service," but that's now how they were characterized by Pershing, Walsh adds.
9:57 a.m.: Walsh pledges to show you more about the dilapidated-looking clubs featured by Pershing last month. One of them shows up on the screen with an awning that reads "Vida Bella." "Inside this club is the real America," he says.
9:59 a.m.: Members are shown in a series of videos happily drinking shakes in clubs around North America. Latinos are heavily represented. Walsh says many found Pershing's portrayals of the clubs offensive.
10:03 a.m.: Investors are apparently in a better mood by 10 a.m. -- shares are up by 4.1% on the session. Are those cheery videos having an effect?
10:07 a.m.: "No minimum purchase" is required of distributors, Walsh says.
10:08 a.m.: Walsh takes on the pyramid scheme accusation, deploying some data. Eighty percent of people earn more than their sponsor, "because our business is a meritocracy," Walsh says.
10: 13 a.m.: Herbalife is "confident" that the adverse court decision in Belgium will be reversed, Walsh says. The decision plays a role in Ackman's short thesis. It has "no impact on our business," Walsh says.
10:16 a.m.: 92% of Herbalife's growth is coming from markets that the company entered 10 years ago, Walsh says. This point is meant to counter Ackman's claim that Herbalife shows a "pop and drop" sales pattern, wherein older, mature markets eventually die off.
10:18 a.m.: Walsh says he finds "hugely offensive" the fact that a supermarket can enter a lower-income area and be "applauded for bringing good nutrition and jobs to a low-income community," but Herbalife. Why not us? Walsh asks.

Kim....my RH factor was 486. I was told the higher the number pass 20, the more likely you have RA and more aggressive type medication was given to me. Your number is much lower than mine so you may not need the medications I needed to take.I just got my rh factor from the dr he is sending me to a specialist. My rh number is 122 he told me normal is 1-20 what does this mean?

My mother suffered for many years with RA so it's definitely in my genes. My RA symptoms began about 4 years ago when I was 48. It started in my shoulders but then affected the muscles and joints in my hands, hips, knees...and just about every area of my body. It was a new pain every other day. I went from doctor to doctor...being diagnosed with tendonitis, bursitis, fibromyalgia and arthritis. The first things doctors want to do is put you on medication. I've always gone to holistic doctors so I was totally against starting meds. It was a long journey to get where I am today, but I started reading every book on arthritis I could get my hands on. That was just the beginning because in one of those books, the concept of eating raw was introduced to me. I had been a vegetarian most of my life, but not a good one. I wouldn't eat meat, but my diet consisted of alot of junk food like cookies, candy and most all other carbs. That lead to a whole other issue of candida, but I won't get into that! I went raw slowly...making smoothies in the morning with organic fruit and lettuces and having salads during the day. I bought raw "cookbooks" and learned more. But the most amazing discovery were 2 movies that put it all in perspective. One is called "Food Matters" and the other is "Forks over Knives". Both excellent...and shows how what we eat gives us disease or takes it away. For me it's very difficult to eat raw 100% of the time, but now that my body feels like it used to when I was younger, I can cheat a little on weekends...and even had chicken a month ago, with no reaction. 2 years ago it would have had me laid up in bed with pains for a week. Anyway, I'm sorry for the long post, but I wanted to add my 2 cents. I know this way of eating can help anyone with arthritis (and diabetes, heart disease, etc)so I wanted to share my experience. Today, we have to be our own doctor. Many doctors just aren't that knowledgable in nutrition, they only know what they learned in school, which drugs for which disease. Be well everyone.
#129 Oct 8, 2011
Thanksjhazzie for the excellent information. I noticed that the 2 movies you mention above seem to be available in book form for purchase at Amazon. I am considering purchasing them.
#130 Oct 8, 2011
You're welcome Joann. I wish I would have found these movies (or books) a few years ago. It would have saved me alot of pain and much trial and error in trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with me. But, I guess that was my journey. If I can help even one person get off of medication and feel normal again, it was worth it. At my worst, I could barely walk, I couldn't open my refrigerator door and forget about a car door. Once I went raw, things changed dramatically. Muscles and joints that ached all the time started feeling better. It took about 6 to 9 months to feel like I did before any of this happened. It's all about food and I know it works because I went through it. I'm glad you're thinking of giving it shot. Keep me posted! Good luck!!

I started having hip and shoulder pain and my GP did an RA panel which came back negative and my SEDS rate was within normal limits. I went to see a rheumatologist because my symptoms continued in the form of crazy nodules on my inner elbows and at the base of my heels. Painful but tolerable. My RAF came back at 14 and my RA doctor told me that an RA factor of 6 or less is considered normal and i am "just barely" above normal. From what I am reading, "normal" can be anything from 10 to 20. He put me on Methotrexate and just this week increased the dose since it my symptoms were continuing. I also take Celebrex. Still, I am having such a hard time getting this thing under control. I haven't sought a second opinion yet because my doctor comes highly recommended with good success rates. I am 54 and really scared. When I think of RA I think of deformities and disability. What I believe is that stress has played a BIG part (I was a caregiver for my boyfriend for two years who died of brain cancer last Christmas) and during that time, I really didn't take care of myself and have a very stressful job. Prior to caregiving, I enjoyed a healthful lifestyle and was very active. I still work out and am able to do most things, but I can't seem to get the inflammation under control. i am looking for alternatives or adjunct treatments such as acupuncture, herbal remedies and dietary changes. Anyone have any information about alternatives or success with such things?
#132 Oct 13, 2011
Lisa.....I am so sorry to hear of the death of your boyfriend. Pertaining to your RA test results, my test scale showed that from 0 to 13.9 was normal. I would think you are too close to normal to be diagnosed with RA. I feel your 1st doctor was right and I suggest you get a 3rd opinion. After my diagnosis of RA, I discovered there are other illnesses that have symptoms that resemble symptoms of RA. I feel you should explore those other illnesses with another doctor. I once took Lipitor, a statin for high cholesterol and developed severe muscle weakness. I could not raise one arm one day which went away and next I knew it shift to the next arm. I later discovered that muscle weakness was a common side effect of this medication and I stopped it immediately. The symptoms went away within days of stopping the medication. I find it so strange that the RA symptoms started within a month after being off Lipitor. However, my RA test results are so far above normal, i.e. 486 along with a 2nd test, RA was a correct diagnosis. A combination of Methotrexate, Prednisone and Folic Acid are the 3 prescriptions that has made me feel better. Methotrexate is a slow acting medication, i.e., may take 3 to 5 months before it begins to work So, the Prednisone is prescribed to help with inflammation until the Methotrexate kicks in. Folic Acid is given to counteract the side effects of the Methotrexate. My doctor has slowly weaned me off the Prednisone and I took my last tablet today. However, I repeat, judging from what you have indicated here, you definitely should seek a 3rd opinion. Methotrexate can have strong side effects and I don't feel you should take it if you don't need it. I hope you begin feeling better soon.

I am age 55 women, I just got my lab results today, it shows my RA factor 388, normal is < 8 , and my ANA is weakly positive. My family doctor referred me to a Rheummy, but the wait time to see him need 3 month. I am worried, I got little/mild pains in all fingers, after I take Glucosamine/Chondroitin, the pains were gone. Do I have Rheumatoid Arthritis? is can be recover? What I should pay attention? Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
#134 Nov 8, 2011
My RF was 486.6, Normal is 0.0-13.9. My CCP Antibodies test was >250, Normal is 0-19. I was told that these 2 test combined are what confirmed my RA diagnosis. I don't know if an RA 388 test alone indicates you have RA. If the Glucosamine/Chondroitin is working for you, I would think you should continue it. But, I would suggest keeping the Rheummy appt. too.

I am scared I am 29 years old. I have been in pain for so many many years now. They say I have ra In 2004 RF was 29 2010 was 33 From last year until current 2011 I am now a RF 55.7 so it has doubled and I feel like it has as well. I feel like I cant even funtion anymore and I cry because of the great pain. pain meds I still feel more pain then most people being on them. I cant just keep taking pain meds but I cant function without them. They want to put me on something in the lines of methatrexate. I am scared.
I feel that some doctors look at me and laugh I am 110 5'tall. But I have ultrasounds and mris to show severity. But I feel doctors still look at me and say your too young. I wish that you can be hooked up to a machine to measure the pain. I feel that my disease is out of control. I am so scared to be on methatrexate or something like that. I have two children eight and four. I want to be there for them. Can I eat certain foods, do something. Please help me? What should I do?
#136 Nov 9, 2011
I cant imagine being in any more pain then I am in so seeing other peoples numbers in hundreds and thousands even scares me more. I am very helpless and depressed severely over this!

Please don't allow yourself to become so depressed over your condition. My RF was nearly 500 and I am doing well and eating everything I have always eaten. There are good medications out there that can help you. But, I feel you have not seen good doctors. Before I was diagnosed with RA, I was given a series of blood test. It was a combination of these blood test that confirmed my diagnoses. I don't feel an RF test with your results alone qualifies for an RA diagnosis. You may have Fibromyalgia. This is what the WebMD website says about fibromyalgia:
What Is Fibromyalgia-Related Pain?
Fibromyalgia-related pain is pain that causes you to ache all over. You may have painful "trigger points," places on your body that hurt no matter what medication you take. Your muscles may feel like they have been overworked or pulled even though you haven't exercised. Sometimes, your muscles will twitch. Other times they will burn or ache with deep stabbing pain. Some patients with fibromyalgia have pain and achiness around the joints in their neck, shoulders, back, and hips. This kind of pain makes it difficult to sleep or exercise.
So my advice to you is to not allow your current medical situation get you down. You have 2-wonderful children to take care of and you can still do that. You just need the right diagnosis after which you can begin receiving the right medication. Ask you current doctor to pursue other illnesses you may have or just go to another doctor. Take care of yourself and keep a positive outlook....relief is on the way.

I have been going to the doctor back and forth for a year with joint and muscle pains. One doctor says I have RA the specialist says I have RA factors due to Hep C. I am currently at another rhumatologist that just order a new set of test. Can anyone tell me what the results mean. RA Factor-11, complement C3-174and C4-29' the C- reactive protein 131,ESR western green 42, and Vitamin D-25 Hydroxy 14,D3-14,D2-<4
#139 Nov 28, 2011
Toni....I am not familiar with some of the test you have listed here. However, there are websites that provide all kinds of information on many test. Just goggle the type of test you had and the information is available for you. I suggest that if you trust your doctor, sit down with him and ask him what the test were for, what the results mean and what are his next recommended steps. If you don't trust your current doctor, find one that you do trust. I always feel friends recommendations are a good source for finding a good doctor.
The RF results are extremely frightening to me since the normal range is 0.0-13.9 and the normal range for the CCP Antibodies is 0 - 19.
#140 Nov 28, 2011
Toni...At the end of my reply contains test results and an early comment I had copied/pasted a few months. Please disregard. I did not intend for that portion of my comment to be added to my reply to your comment. Sorry!!!
#141 Nov 28, 2011
My advise to everyone is to get a good RA Dr. who is aggressive in treatment...I was diagnoised 8 yrs ago. Was declared 5 years cancer free one week and the next was told I had severe RA...my factor was over 600...over the years it has gone as low as 176 but is up to 386 again BUT my blood work looks great!!! usually I have 12-16 lines out of wack...either too high or too low...this time I had 3!!! WBC was a little low and RDW was a little high and then of course my RA factor...Dr. was thrilled...I started Humira two months ago..seems to be helping..I also take Methotrexate and have been for the past five years for RA. I also took methotrexate for my cancer treatment. so I have been on that for a long time...Dr. told me it was baby dose and not to worry...10mg a week.....took Mobic for 8 years but cuz bleeding in August..thus the switch to Humira....Also had Rhemicade for three months but had severe reaction...Was also on Arava but have been off that since August.
I take each day as it comes...some days I feel good and others not so great...I try to get out and walk everyday. You have to keep a positive attitude and don't let the numbers get to you...Also I advise that you keep a copy of your blood work for your records.
#142 Nov 28, 2011
Peggy....I enjoyed reading your comment. You provided excellent advice and I commend your positive attitude. I am a relatively new RA patient and was not aware the RA test results could go up/down. I am now curious as to whether mine have decreased and will ask my doctor during my next visit. I take 15mg of Methotrexate and Folic Acid. I was also initially placed on Prednisone but was fortunately weaned off a few weeks ago. Since the recent cooler weather in the Houston,Texas area, my joints in my hands have become painful. I just decided to order gloves for arthritic hands after reading their great online reviews. Their finger tips are exposed to allow continued activity while wearing them. I hope they help.

I was diagnosed with RA yesterday and prescribed methotrexate. My hands were swollen for 3 days in October, but I have had no other symptoms. I exercise 4 days a week (weights, advanced yoga, advanced pilates)and have not had any pain. My rheumatologist believes that the MX may cause remission in my disease. I will be taking 17 mg orally one day a week. Has anyone read or heard anything about the prognosis for early diagnosed RA?

River disappears overnight after loud detonation noise is heard
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
On Tuesday night 2km of the river Iska in Slovenia disappeared and left behind fish on dry ground. The residents are saying that they heard a huge bang in the night. It sounds like they are describing it as a possible earthquake-like sound although there was no tremor. One woman said that it was like a huge detonation, as if something big had crashed onto the ground. People went out of their homes to see what was falling down, only to witness the river being drained.
To make this story even more strange, last week there were devastating floods in Slovenia and this river like all others was flooding land and properties. Could it be that some strange technology is being tested here for flood defence purpose? The official explanation is that due to the karst nature of the terrain the river went underground through this tiny hole (see pictures in link below), but the residents are highly sceptical as they have never witnessed anything like that ever (bearing in mind this river has flooded many times before).
For pictures (language is Slovenian): 24ur.com...
The first part of the official news story (from link above) translates as:
"On Tuesday night the river Iska vanished between the villages of Iska Vas and Strahomer."... (Now here comes the official explanation)... "Slovene Environment Agency statement says that the water is flowing into the underground chamber underneath the water bed. This is the way the river disappears and reappers later down stream.This time this characteristic of the river is stronger because of the damages to the river bed."
Anonymous Coward 1108510
Earthquakes have been known to not only drain rivers but make them begin to flow in the opposite direction as well.
Has anyone checked out to see if any earthquakes were reported near Slovenia during that time period?

This is unbelievable, I've tracked it down from several sources because I just couldn't believe something like this would make the news. Here goes:
A California preschool is shutting down after allegations of sexual activity among several of its 4- and 5-year-old students emerged. First Lutheran Church of Carson School is closing because of reports that two boys received oral sex from a 5-year-old girl on school grounds!
Attorney Greg Owen, who is representing some of the children's families, said the sexual acts took place at nap time, at a school playground and at an outside bathroom. "It all boils down to a lack of supervision," Owen said. "There were times when teachers would let aides in the room for hours at a time to watch the kids. During nap time, the aides would be sleeping, and the children would have been molesting each other during this time."
Richard McCarthy received complaints about this from his son: "He told me about all the bad things that girl had been doing to him," McCarthy said. "It went down in the classroom, it went down in the bathroom and it went down out on the playground."
This is beyond shocking but then again maybe it's not true, since kids do tend to exaggerate and tell all kinds of stories? What do you think?
Oral sex in kindergarten?

Christian Morrow, New Pittsburgh Courier - Published on Monday, December 24, 2012
During the groundbreaking for the $11.5 million Homewood Station Senior Apartments development in Homewood, City Councilman Rev. Ricky Burgess recalled how his late mother asked him to work to rebuild the neighborhood. With this project, he said, he has started to honor her request. "I grew up two blocks from this site. I pastored a church for 30 years one block from this site and I married a girl from around the corner. I've lived here all my life and I can say without a shadow of doubt this is the most significant development in Homewood in 20 years," he said. "This is the beginning of building a brand new commercial district in Homewood. This is what transformational development looks like."
Joining Burgess for the Dec. 18 groundbreaking were a number of partners in the project, including Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, Operation Better Block Executive Director Jerome Jackson, Oxford Development President and CEO Steven Guy, Community Empowerment Association founder Rashad Byrdsong and S& A Homes executive VP Andy Haines.

U.S. foreign policy and economic aid to Central American countries, perhaps, instead of pumping billions into Mideast imbroglios, is likely to ease the flow of refugees toward Texas. But no answer is workable until politicians in Washington and Austin realize the Rio Grande Valley is not a battlefield.
The reference to the border by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who recently used the term Third World as a descriptive of the region, offended those of us who love la frontera. The GOP candidate for governor, Abbott described the border as practically being destroyed by corruption, although there are no statistics to support his critique.

Rated 5 out of 5 by pocketrocket73 from My favourite cereal! I am intolerant to wheat and miss quite a few cereals I used to be able to eat, and I love these as they are a wheat-free (and healthier) version of Sugar Puffs. My boys love them too and I have to negotiate to keep them for myself! Taste really nice, not too sweet, the honey gives just the right amount of sweetness to make these especially appetising. I love the retro packaging, and a funny remarks!

How to Determine if Mold is Dangerous
There is always mold in our houses. However, it is usually at such low levels that it is of no consequence. However, mold can, at times, be quite harmful, especially if it is in huge quantities. One of the first signs that you have a mold problem is if your house begins to smell moldy. It is essential to identify the type of mold in the home to ensure that your family is not at risk and Utah Flood Cleanup can help.
Common Types of Mold Found in Homes
The most common mold types on modern homes are:
- Aspergillus
- Stachybotrys atra, also known as Black Mold
- Cladosporium
Aspergillus is an allergenic mold that is found in food and air condition systems. Cladosporium is another type of mold, which grows mostly on the back of toilets. It also grows on air ducts and painted surfaces. The mold is classified as nontoxic, however it can cause allergic reactions in humans.
Bright colored mold such as red or orange mold is mostly found outdoors. It grows on decaying matter such as rotting wood. It is not harmless to humans. The mold, which is usually slimy, is removed for aesthetic purposes. Another mold that grows in homes is white mold. If it is in the home, it means the problem is in its early stages, and it can be treated with ease.
Dangerous Types of Mold Found in Homes
One of them is Stachybotrys chartarum, which can lead to long-term illness if not treated. It grows in houses with ease and produces toxins called mycotoxins. Contact with these toxins usually ends up in a hospital visit.
The mold will usually have a greenish black appearance. Additionally, it will usually appear to be slimy. However, this may not always be the case. The mold can become dry and powdery when its water source runs out. At that point, it can disperse with ease. It is important to have an expert inspect it. This could save you a lot of money spent on getting rid of a harmless mold species that has a similar appearance to black mold.
Some of the most common symptoms that result from black mold are:
- Irreversible damage to internal organs
- Skin inflammation
- Respiratory problems
- Hemorrhage
- Mental impairment
- Fatigue
- Suppression of the immune system
Fusarium and Penicillium are also considered toxic mold. These molds are associated with symptoms such as asthma, nail fungus, and infections of internal organs like the heart, liver, and lungs. They can also lead to pulmonary emphysema and edema.
Where to Look for Toxic Mold
When toxic mold grows, it will usually be in a place that is out of site. Additionally, toxic mold requires a lot of humidity. Thus, if you have experienced floods in the recent past, you should inspect your house for toxic mold. It also the case if you have had a pipe leak inside the walls or in your basement in the recent past.
What to Do if You Find Mold
When you find mold in your house, you should hire an expert. If the mold affects a huge area of your house, you need to vacate the premises until the mold is cleared. It is especially so if you have been experiencing the symptoms of a mold infection.
Call Utah Flood Cleanup for Mold Removal
If you are in need of a mold clean up company that does the job efficiently, you should contact Utah Food Cleanup. We use modern cleaning methods to reduce the chances of regrowth. Besides mold cleanup, we offer water and fire damage cleanup services. Our cleanup services are available to you 24/7. Call us today at (801) 416-2666. One of our experts will offer you a free consultation over the phone. We also conduct free inspections for all water damage incidents that are covered by the insurance provider.

So when you issue SET SERVEROUTPUT ON, SQL*Plus knows you are asking to print DBMS_OUTPUT buffer on screen. But again it can only happen when SQL*Plus regains control. In your case, PL/SQL block starts executing and updates one row at a time and also adds one line at a time output data to DBMS_OUTPUT buffer. Nothing is displayed at this time since control is still in PL/SQL. After ALL rows are updated in a loop PL/SQL block completes control is returned back to SQL*Plus and ONLY THEN SQL*Plus displayes all that info DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE added to buffer.
2. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behaviour736193 Feb 3, 2011 12:55 PM (in response to 824574)Just to add to Solomon's reply.
And sqlplus is using dbms_output.get_line(s) calls to retrieve the buffer contents, and then print it on the screen.
3. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behaviourBilly~Verreynne Feb 3, 2011 1:02 PM (in response to 824574)DBMS_OUTPUT is a PL/SQL package with a collection variable. When you call PUT_LINE() or similar, it appends that data to this collection variable. It also has calls to enable this behaviour, and calls to read and clear the contents of this variable.
When using set serveroutput on in SQL*Plus, it makes a PL/SQL call to DBMS_OUTPUT to enable it. After SQL*Plus has made a server call to Oracle, it calls DBMS_OUTPUT to read (and clear) the contents of the DBMS_OUTPUT buffer variable and display it locally.
So it depends on how SQL*Plus behaves after a call is made - does it make the PL/SQL call to DBMS_OUTPUT to read its buffer content and display that? In some cases not - which means as the DBMS_OUTPUT buffer has not been clear, any new calls will append to that buffer. And when SQL*Plus gets around to eventually interrogating the DBMS_OUTPUT buffer and displaying its contents, that buffer will contain "old" lines written to it. And these will be displayed by SQL*Plus too.
There are alternatives to using SQL*Plus's (poorly designed) serveroutput interface to DBMS_OUTPUT. For example, you can control it as follows:
SQL> //-- create a collection type we can use in SQL select for returning buffer contents SQL> create or replace type TStrings is table of varchar2(4000); 2 / Type created. SQL> --// use a pipeline to read the DBMS_OUTPUT buffer and return it SQL> create or replace function DisplayDbmsOutputBuffer return TStrings pipelined is 2 line varchar2(32767); 3 status integer; 4 begin 5 loop 6 DBMS_OUTPUT.get_line( line, status ); 7 exit when status = 1; 8 9 --// we can only display 4000 byte strings in SQL, so 10 --// change this to break bigger buffer lines up into 11 --// multiple 4000 byte lines 12 pipe row( substr(line,1,4000 ) ); 13 14 end loop; 15 16 return; 17 end; 18 / Function created. SQL> --// normal use of DBMS_OUTPUT in SQL*Plus - SQL> set serveroutput on SQL> SQL> exec DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( 'hello world' ); hello world PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. SQL> --// we now disable SQL*Plus from calling DBMS_OUTPUT SQL> set serveroutput off SQL> SQL> --// turn on DBMS_OUTPUT without telling SQL*Plus SQL> exec DBMS_OUTPUT.Enable; PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. SQL> SQL> --// we make calls to code that writes to DBMS_OUTPUT SQL> exec DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( 'hello world' ); DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( 'What do you want universe?' ) PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. SQL> --// after such a call, we use our pipeline to read and clear the buffer contents SQL> select column_value as LINE from TABLE( DisplayDbmsOutputBuffer ); LINE -------------------------------------------------- hello world What do you want universe? SQL>
4. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behaviour824574 Feb 3, 2011 1:33 PM (in response to 824574)Many thanks all of you who've taken the time to reply.
Unfortunately, we're no closer to answering our question; after running the script once, we get no output apart from the standard "PL/SQL procedure successfully completed" message.
Running it a second time gives us the expected dbms_output.
Can anyone explain why we have to run the script twice to get some output, and how we'd get around this (without having to write functions/procedures etc.) ?
@ Billy - "So it depends on how SQL*Plus behaves after a call is made - does it make the PL/SQL call to DBMS_OUTPUT to read its buffer content and display that? In some cases not - "
You're saying that the behaviour of DBMS_OUTPUT is not something we can control?
5. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behaviourriedelme Feb 3, 2011 2:08 PM (in response to 824574)
running the script TWICE in the same session produces the output!You run it once no output; run it twice and you get output - once. Commenting the update allows DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE to work as expected (???) - very odd.
Weirdness can occur when using dbms_output in inline functions (called through SQL) but you don't seem to be using inline functions.
Are you sure that you are using SET SERVEROUTPUT ON before calling the routine the first time? Its possible (though unlikely) your turn-on is after the initial run.
Are there any internal calls to DBMS_OUTPUT routines in the set of processes you are running that might be causing wierd results, like Billy suggested?
6. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behaviour824574 Feb 3, 2011 2:19 PM (in response to riedelme)Hello - we'd already thought of that, so tried this adding "SHOW SERVEROUTPUT" before and after the call to SET SERVEROUTPUT at the top of the script:
v_upd_date DATE := SYSDATE;
v_upd_count NUMBER := 0;
FOR c IN (SELECT
where entity_code = 'AU00002')
dbms_output.put_line('c.entity_code ' || c.entity_code);
v_upd_count := v_upd_count + 1;
UPDATE entity_extension
user_ind62 = 'Y'
,user_ind63 = 'Y'
,user_ind65 = 'Y'
,user_ind66 = 'Y'
,user_ind68 = 'Y'
WHERE trim(entity_id) = (SELECT distinct trim(e.Entity_id)
FROM entity_extension ee
,entity e
WHERE e.Entity_Id = ee.Entity_Id
AND e.Entity_Type = c.Entity_Type
AND trim(e.Entity_Code) = trim(c.Entity_Code));
And here's the output from 2 runs, in the same session:
SQL> @upd_porg_att.sql
serveroutput OFF
serveroutput ON SIZE UNLIMITED FORMAT WORD_WRAPPED
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
serveroutput ON SIZE UNLIMITED FORMAT WORD_WRAPPED
SQL> @upd_porg_att.sql
serveroutput ON SIZE UNLIMITED FORMAT WORD_WRAPPED
serveroutput ON SIZE UNLIMITED FORMAT WORD_WRAPPED
c.entity_code AU00002
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
serveroutput ON SIZE UNLIMITED FORMAT WORD_WRAPPED
You can see Run1 shows no output, but Run2 does. There are no internal dbms_output.put_line calls that we are aware of, it's just a loop and an update statement.
Is it possible that one of the SQL*Plus environment settings is overriding SERVEROUTPUT?
7. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behaviourBluShadow Feb 3, 2011 2:35 PM (in response to 824574)From an oldish O'Reilly book:
If your program raises an unhandled exception, you may not see any executed output from PUT_LINE, even if you enabled the package for output .
This can happen because the DBMS_OUTPUT buffer will not be flushed until it is full or until the current PL/SQL block completes its execution. If a raised exception never gets handled, the buffer will not be flushed. As a result, calls to the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE module might never show their data. So if you are working with DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE and are frustrated because you are not seeing the output you would expect, make sure that you have:
Enabled output from the package by calling SET SERVEROUTPUT ON in SQL*Plus.
Placed an exception section with a WHEN OTHERS handler in the outer block of your code (usually some sort of test script) so that your output can be flushed to your terminal by SQL*Plus.
Is that possibly happening in your code?
8. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behaviourriedelme Feb 3, 2011 3:00 PM (in response to 824574)More unlikely ideas (wierd problems sometimes have wierd solutions)
I like Blu's exception idea, but you didin't report any exceptions, and why does the second run finish? Check the update value after the first run to see if an update has taken place (assuming the value has changed after multiple runs). Or make sure the run finishes using one of the DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO routines to set a v$SESSION row which shouldn't impact your process. A WHEN OTHERS exception handler as Blu suggested can't hurt.
I have seen occasional weirdness with SIZE UNLIMITED on 10g. What happens if you take away the extra options (maybe use SIZE to prevent filling the buffer)?
Do you have a My Oracle Support account? You could check for bugs (unlikely, but possible)
Could there be a forgotten trigger or other behind-the-scenes process that affects your setting the first time (unlikely)?
9. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behaviour824574 Feb 3, 2011 3:07 PM (in response to riedelme)We'd tried adding some exception handling iin the inner and outer branches of the code - no exceptions were raised and the update ALWAYS works.
There is a trigger on the table we're updating...just to be safe we disabled it and re-ran the script - with the same result (1st run no output, 2nd run ok).
It's really a standalone script with no other background processes/dependencies. So we can't see why this could be happening.
10. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behaviourBluShadow Feb 3, 2011 3:09 PM (in response to 824574)What version of SQL*Plus are you running?
11. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behaviour824574 Feb 3, 2011 3:10 PM (in response to BluShadow)Hello - we're on:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production on Thu Feb 3 14:45:04 2011
12. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behavioursmon Feb 3, 2011 3:14 PM (in response to 824574)if you replace your current plsql block with a simple one like below, I assume it works/outputs first time?? If so, it might point to the Update somehow being the cause of the weirdness?
begin dbms_output.put_line(sysdate); end; /
13. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behaviour824574 Feb 3, 2011 3:20 PM (in response to smon)That works fine (after setting SERVEROUTPUT to ON). We've already tried a few other things in the script in place of the looped update you see (insert/updates to other tables) and they work fine.
It had occurred to us too that the SQL itself was the culprit (though it seems strange that an UPDATE statement, which works, would somehow suppress dbms_ouptut).
14. Re: SET SERVEROUTPUT strange behavioursmon Feb 3, 2011 3:22 PM (in response to 824574)And the other Inserts/Updates output first time? How bizarre. I can't recreate it, stumped! :)

By: Jeff Roberson
Bianco on what he has seen from the team this summer and fall so far: "My initial thoughts are that I think we're very talented. It's one of the best, if not the best, recruiting classes to get to campus. We do return some integral parts of last year's team, not just on the mound but in the field."
Bianco on the makeup of the team, especially from an age angle: "We're younger, when you look at it on paper. I think two seniors (INF Colby Bortles, RHP Sean Johnson) and six juniors (INF Tate Blackman, INF/OF Will Golsan, INF/OF Kyle Watson, LHP David Parkinson, RHP Will Stokes, junior college transfer OF Tim Rowe). Eight upperclass juniors and seniors. That makes 29 freshmen and sophomores. But those young guys are very talented, and a lot of sophomores contributed last year. We had three freshmen All-Americans last year (all pitchers: RHP Brady Feigl, RHP James McArthur, RHP Andy Pagnozzi) and a lot of guys who played big roles."
Bianco on the makeup of the squad in a number of areas: "I like this team. It will be an interesting next month to see what younger guys are ready to contribute right now. And also of the returners, which ones are ready to take the next step and have a bigger role. It's so early. Everyone always wants to write about team chemistry and togetherness. Yes, they get along well and from what I've seen the older guys have really taken on that leadership role. But we have to count on all the classes (to contribute) and not wait until they're juniors and seniors."
Bianco on some positions of note the coaches are looking to try to lock down this fall: "We lost Errol Robinson at shortstop, Henri Lartigue behind the plate, and J.B. Woodman in the outfield. Those were key people. Certainly the infield is an area to watch, how that reveals itself. We feel good about it. There's a lot of talent in the infield. (Freshman) Grae Kessinger has been at shortstop and looks terrific. Kyle Watson and (sophomore) Ryan Olenek have been good there and (freshman) Bryce Blaum. At third base we return Colby Bortles but there is also a junior college transfer (sophomore) Chase Cockrell that's been good. There a lot of different options in the infield. Tate Blackman at second base. (Freshman) Cole Zabowski at first base. Colby has been there some. (Redshirt sophomore) Michael Fitzsimmons has been at first. We don't know all the answers for who will be where, but we feel good about the fact that there are certainly enough pieces to be good and have depth. I think depth is another strong point. Behind the plate, I think we're as good as we've ever been with (sophomore) Nick Fortes, (freshman) Cooper Johnson, (freshman) Thomas Dillard and (redshirt freshman) Carson Klepzig. Right now it will be a battle behind the plate."
Bianco on the outfield: "If you watch us in intrasquad games, where we look thin is in the outfield. Part of that is a couple of outfield guys from last year are in the infield right now. There's a chance those guys could go back out to the outfield. There's certainly enough numbers and athleticism to do that. Kyle Watson is an example of that. We moved Will Golsan out to the outfield (this fall) because of his athleticism. He's been at second base and first base. He's looked great out there and can really run and has a good arm. (Sophomore) D.J. Miller has really swung the bat well this first month. (Freshman) Bryan Seamster has been in the outfield, Dillard has played a little outfield, Zabowski has as well, Watson and Miller. There are talented players out there. So most people, as far as positions of interest, will look to the outfield, shortstop, and catcher. There's been a lot of movement in these intrasquad games."
Bianco on some pitching thoughts: "We lost Brady Bramlett. David Parkinson was the No. 2 pitcher last year. James McArthur is back. Sean Johnson, Brady Feigl, Will Stokes, Dallas Woolfolk, Andy Pagnozzi. We return some guys who pitched significant innings and in big games and situations. If it hadn't been for Wyatt Short, Stokes might have the saves record. He's pitched in so many big games the last two years. So we have experience in the bullpen and with some starters. Sean Johnson has pitched well. He's more comfortable and confident. He was less than a year out of surgery last year. He was healthy and released, but he wasn't 100 percent. And there is a difference. The new guys are talented: (freshman) left-hander Ryan Rolison, (freshman) right-hander Will Ethridge, and the Oxford guys (freshmen right-handers) Jason Barber and Houston Roth. (Freshman) Left-hander Jackson Tavel . So there's going to be a lot of competition out there."
Bianco on the class that has arrived and avoiding a major hit in the draft: "It was as good as it could be. Everybody showed up. I don't think at any time over the past year did we have a scenario in our heads that we'd get them all. It's very fluid. But that's why I think this class will end up ranked No. 1 (nationally) or at least in the top two or three in every poll. There are so many talented kids. We're fortunate, and kudos to Carl Lafferty and Mike Clement for putting together a talented class and also a class that would show up on campus, with kids and families that value education and the college experience."
