Attendance and grades: Should they be linked?
In Florida, schools aren't supposed to award a high school student credit for a course if the teen doesn't receive at least 135 hours of "bona fide" instruction. Districts may impose stricter penalties for excessive absences, but that's a local choice.
A Virginia school district has for years told kids that if they skip class three times in a quarter without a legit excuse, they will get an automatic F. But now, in much the same spirit as the Hernando discussion over whether to issue zero grades for failure, the Fairfax school district is scrapping that attendance clause.
"There's no hope for that grade at that point," district director of intervention and prevention services Teresa Zutter told the Washington Post. "The student says: 'Why should I try? I can't undo this mistake.'"
The district isn't giving students a free pass to skip, mind you. It's just removing the failure as an immediate consequence.
Like Hernando's grading discussion, this raises questions and probably will generate heated debate. One possible take: Virtual school takes the seat time issue out of the equation, making education about achievement more than attendance. Shouldn't traditional schools take the same approach? Anyone?


text: Has anyone else had a problem with out of date Delta 3200 failing? Here's the scenario: the film in question has been refrigerated (not frozen) since its arrival when it was still in date. It's about two years past date now. Over the last few months I've been attempting to shoot this film at 6400 and developing it in Rodinal 1:25 (looking for grain and contrast), water stop bath, T-4 fix. Every roll (35mm) comes out of the soup almost entirely blank. I've checked the meter I am using (Luna Pro F) and it is functioning correctly, the cameras are functioning correctly, and I have developed other film from this same bottle of Rodinal and it works fine. The time I got from the Massive Development Chart is 20mins @ 68 degrees. I've been adding time to the development, and last night took it to 30 mins with the same blank results. I think I read somewhere that unexposed Delta 3200 kinda 'dies' with age, but I can't find that post/article now. I'm pretty much ready to give up on this film for low light stuff, but I was just wondering if anyone else around here has had similar experiences with out-of-date Delta 3200, or if anyone can see any obvious problems with my rather simple process. Thanks, Joe

deep link
A deep link is a hypertext link to a page on a Web site other than its home page. The "deep" refers to the depth of the page in a site's hierarchical structure of pages. Any page below the top page in the hierarchy (the home page) can thus be considered deep. The term has been given prominence in the legal suit of the Ticketmaster Corporation against Microsoft. A Microsoft-owned site (one of its Sidewalk sites) linked to a page of useful information within the Ticketmaster site, avoiding the Ticketmaster home page. Ticketmaster sued Microsoft for linking without permission, claiming that they were thus being deprived of advertising viewers for the ads on their home page. In fact, their content was appearing within a Microsoft page containing their advertising.

In his TBTF Newsletter, Keith Dawson refers to deep links as "rifle shots," suggesting that they get the Web surfer immediately to the information they want. Although no one has quantified the number of deep links between Web sites, it would certainly seem to be a very large number. Most major search engine and directory sites like Yahoo invite Web sites to request inclusion with the assumption that all pages will be indexed unless explicitly excluded. And, undoubtedly, most sites welcome links from anywhere to any of their pages.
Although the issue is still to be fully resolved, some observers think it likely that the prevalence of deep links on the Web will continue as an essential characteristic. Brad Templeton, writing at one Web site, suggests that most Web sites implicitly encourage both home page and deep links simply by being part of the Web. He suggests that those sites that want to inhibit deep links to their site could state it clearly as a way to discourage such links. Many feel that the practice of "framing" another site within a frame on your site poses some liability for the framing site, unless permission to frame is received first.

Dead Rising
Review by ninjacow22
"The best zombie game ever created!"
I was anticipating this game the moment it came out. A shopping mall with zombies just sounded awesome. Even better was the fact you could use anything as a weapon. I thought that was so innovative. When the game came out I set out and got me a copy. I was not disappointed.
Graphics: 10
Wow. The visuals are excellent. Everything is very detailed and smooth. The character models are some of the best I've seen in a game. The zombies look very nice with torn flesh hanging off their bodies. The cut scenes are where the graphics really shine. The characters move as if they were real people and the frame-rate rarely ever hitches up. This game isn't the best looking game out there, but it looks damn good.
Story: 10
Frank West (a photo journalist), sets out to a small town quarantined by the military. So while in a helicopter, Frank sees what appears to be a riot. He lands on the roof of the mall and he has 72 hours to get the scoop of a life time and be on the roof before the helicopter comes back and picks him up. Unfortunately, that mall is filled top to bottom with zombies. Now the story sounds basic, but there are some very interesting plot twists along the way.
Sound: 10
The sound effects are done nicely with everything in the mall has a different sound from each other. The voice acting is very well done with only a couple cheesy lines, (it's a zombie game, what do you expect?). I was actually very surprised by the sound effects. Cutting a zombie in half makes a nasty slice sound, Blood sprays sound like showers, and a chainsaw hitting zombie flesh really sounds like, well, a chainsaw hitting flesh. The sound is very well done and adds to the experience.
The music is very well done. During the game, it is mostly elevator music, but the music shifts to really good rock and rap music during boss fights. The cut scenes can have some catchy tunes in them also that you will have stuck in your head for days! The music was really good and if there is a soundtrack, i'm getting it!.
Game play: 9.5
Basically it's kill crap loads of zombies using almost any thing. There are guns, chainsaws, lawnmowers, stuffed bears, frying pans, pipes, weights, and way to many more to count. Using these objects are very fun and the action never gets repetitive because new enemies come in to play and you have to have strategy on how to annihilate them.
As I said, there are more than just zombies. Some shop owners will protect there goods at all costs, cultists who think the end of the world is here, escaped convicts, and even the special forces. You get bonus points for taking them out.
You also have a camera with you. Take pictures to earn prestige points which grant you upgrades in attack, stock, skills, and more. You can also earn PP by taking out convicts and psychos.
The main story progresses through case files. Case files require you to be at a certain place at a certain time. Not quite as stressful as it sounds though.
You can also rescue innocents trapped in the mall. You will get the info from Otis, one of the survivors. The innocents are very stupid and can die from zombies, who will eat them. Saving them though is worth it because you get prestige points. The survivors though, are dumber than rocks. They get caught behind walls and are killed easily. It is mostly a pain if there is more than two of them.
There are so many zombies, (53,594 to be exact), and they may be stupid during the day, (Resident Evil stupid), but they are aggressive and stronger at night, (like 28 Days Later except that they don't run as fast). Also, taking out zombies has never been this much fun.
I have heard many complaints about the save system. It is true that you can only save one slot but you can overwrite them. People complained that they wouldn't have enough time to get to a case file. I usually never save more than one slot for mostly every game I play so this wasn't a problem for me. But if it does turn into a problem, you can start over with all of your progress.
Replay: 10
The main game is short but there are about 6-7 endings, a whole bunch of achievements that unlock stuff, a lot of costumes, and much more. This game will keep you busy for awhile.
Buy or Rent: BUY!
If you have a 360 and cash, go out and pick this game up. You will be playing this game for a long time.
Overall Score: 9.9/10 (rounded to 10)
Reviewer's Rating: 5.0 - Flawless

Discussion in 'Browning A-Bolt Rifle' started by Billythekid, Mar 20, 2011.
Here is the place to talk about any and all accessories for your Browning A-Bolt Rifle.
I purchased a used A Bolt in 7mm Rem Mag and the seller told me it had a BOSS muzzle brake. I got a good enough price so that it doesn't matter that I didn't check, but attached is a pic of what is on it. Can anyone help ID it and verify that, if I did buy a BOSS CR (I don't really want the brake) that it would thread on to the barrel. In other words, do the threads here look like the threads on a BOSS capable barrel?
According to the serial number the gun is a 1994 - Composite Stalker - A Bolt II - I believe the first year they made the II and the BOSS system.
Welcome to the Browning Owners Forum fyrproof1 !!
Sorry, I can't help you with that question, but stand by...someone will have a notion here.
Thanks...here is a second pic in case someone needs a rough measurement.
Someone in another group answered the question with this video. I add it here in case someone else has the same question.
thanks for the info Fyrproof, i am sure your not the only person with that question.
I know Kane who used to make gun chaps went out of business. So I was wondering if anyone else made a gun chap or something similar. I want to keep my wood stock looking as new as it does now. Thanks

'Rent' Remains Powerful
Theater Review
Rent, a
remake of Puccini's 1896 classic, La
Boheme, fills one's spirit even as it enchants one's eyes and ears. The man characters are Mark, a documentary
filmmaker who follows a group of impoverished, counterculture artists in New York's East
Village, and Roger, his
best friend. Roger is an HIV-positive songwriter. Mark and Roger are roommates.
Although romantic love eludes Mark, several strong couplings provide the
framework around which Rent is
constructed. Roger finds Mimi, an exotic dancer who lives nearby. Mark's former
girlfriend, Maureen, switches gears and hooks up with Joanne, a lawyer. And the
show's most colorful character, the ebullient, charismatic Angel, finds happiness
with a professor.
Rent is undeniably linked to New York City. Only here,
it seems, can such disparate types form a community of "bohemians" who battle
for survival in an uncaring world. This production resonates with the sights
and sounds of New York's
gritty urban environment. Rent remains
not only urban but youthful, hip and edgy.
Credit goes to director Donna Drake for pulling this
show together in the relatively intimate setting of the Cabot Theatre. She
expertly melds the characters with the music, in conjunction with music
director Jamie Johns. Lighting is an equally essential element to Rent's success, and lighting designer
Jason Fassl doesn't disappoint. Neither does the work of choreographers Donna
Drake and Rhonda Miller. The show's newfound intimacy is brilliantly realized
in the duet, "Tango Maureen."
The most consistently riveting performer in this
talent cast is Juan Torres-Falcon as the flamboyant Angel. Actor Lili Thomas is
a bit less convincing as Mimi. She's somewhat well fed to be playing a junkie,
and her drug-induced wail in "Out Tonight," isn't quite manic enough. But she
definitely demonstrates the chemistry between her character and Roger (played
by Tommy Hahn). One expects all the voices in a Skylight production to be top notch,
and they are, but in particulr Kate Margaret McCann (as Maureen) knocks one out
of the ballpark. She is every inch the diva Maureen is supposed to be. And her
voice is spine tingling, to say the least.

In brief: JPL selected to lead new campaign for Texas firm
Swatara Township-based marketing communications firm JPL has been selected by a Texas company to develop a new website and rebranding strategy for its home product and service savings program.
The contract is with Associa Advantage, a program managed by Associa, the largest community association management firm in North America.
Brand development and launching the site will be the scope of 2012 work, followed by expanded marketing efforts in 2013, JPL said.
The partnership is expected to help the firm of about 100 employees expand its national footprint in the area of integrated and strategic communications.
The Dauphin County company did not disclose the amount of the contract.
Last year, JPL joined forces with Abel Communications, a public relations company in Baltimore, Md.

As the final minutes ticked away at Heinz Field, a few members of the Clairton football team's support staff began moving around on the sideline. They began spreading gray t-shirts on the steel benches, and a few players began to put them on.
On the front, the shirt displayed the Clairton logo with all of the WPIAL championships listed. On the back? "Bout Dat! 60!"
What seemed inevitable for so long became a reality Friday afternoon. After a slow start, Clairton cruised to a 58-21 win over Sto-Rox for its fifth straight WPIAL title and 60th consecutive win. The Bears' streak is the longest active streak in the nation and broke the state record of 59 set by Central Bucks West in 2000.
The streak has also put Clairton briefly in the national consciousness. Articles on the team have appeared in USA Today and the New York Times, shining a brief positive light on one of the state's poorest and smallest school districts.
"Clairton's not the best place but it's not the worst either," senior Robert Boatright said. "Even adults can look to us as a positive."
Just like last year, Sto-Rox matched Clairton early. The Vikings bottled up star running back Tyler Boyd, holding him to minus-9 yards at the half thanks in large part to a botched snap. With Boyd quiet, Clairton handed the keys to the offense to quarterback Armani Ford. Ford tossed two touchdown passes in the first half, one to Titus Howard for 35 yards and another to Terrish Webb for 22 yards.
With his team up 14-7, Boyd found another way to make an impact, taking the ball on a double reverse and tossing a 74-yard strike to Santeaun Sims to stretch the lead to 22-7.
"They do stuff like that all the time," Sto-Rox coach Dan Bradley said. "It's up to you to stop it."
Thanks to a Brendan Blair touchdown run just before the half, Sto-Rox was within striking distance at the break, trailing 22-13. But Clairton found a way to unleash Boyd in the third quarter.
"They had an extra guy on the defensive line, so we adjusted and ran our plays to where he wasn't," Boyd said.
Boyd ran for 145 yards in the third quarter alone, scoring on a 14-yard run and putting the game away with his 77-yard touchdown that made it 43-21. It erased a 54-yard run by Lenny Williams had had kept Sto-Rox's hopes up.
"Lenny had a great run and at that point, I think we were still mentally in the game," Bradley said. "But physically, I don't know. We probably play about 13-14 guys, and we started to wear down."
Boyd finished with 144 yards on 16 carries, as well as 87 yards passing and 21 yards receiving. Ford complted 9-of-16 passes for 180 yards and three touchdowns, as well as a 1-yard touchdown run. Webb and Howard combined for seven catches for 159 yards. William threw for 106 yards and ran for 103 yards in the loss for Sto-Rox.
With the state record broken, the question becomes how long Clairton can keep this rolling. Is the national record of 151, held by California's De La Salle High, next in line?
"No, that's not happening," Clairton coach Tom Nola said with a wry smile. Nola has contemplated retirement in the last year or two, and he added, "Not for me. Maybe for the team."
Clairton will go for win No. 61 next weekend against the District 5 champion.

My dear sister Lindsay recently completed her first Wild Rose Detox, so we enjoyed a flurry of preparation and cooking to get her ready and keep her on track. Our biggest success was the following falafel recipe from the cleansing cookbook (with some modifications) that I've been wanting to make for years but was intimidated for some reason (possibly my strong reverence for falafel balls). Shame on me! It was simple, and now I'm a falafel making machine. I whipped up the tzatziki myself, and used dill instead of mint, which turned out just lovely with the warm salty balls. Mmm-mm!
Ingredients: Falafel
2 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas
3-4 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 flax egg (instructions)
1/3 cup tahini
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Ingredients: Tzatziki
175g container of soy yogurt
1/2 long english cucumber, grated
juice of 1 lemon
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp finely diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped dill
Method for Falafel:
Preheat oven to 375F. Place chickpeas, garlic, 'egg', tahini, salt, cumin and turmeric in a food processor and puree until chunky-smooth. Occasionally scrape down the sides.
Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and add parsley and green onions, mixing well.
Roll 1 1/2 – 2 inch balls in the palm of your hand and place on an oiled cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, checking often. You can also rub them with oil and put broil on at the end to create a crispy finish.
Method for Tzatziki:
This is a tough one. Combine all ingredients and mix well.
You can serve this delicious combo in so many different ways. Try a pita wrap packed with fresh veggies, on top of brown rice with some pumpkin seeds and hummus, or as shown in lettuce wraps with an assortment of fresh sides. Grated carrots, chopped parsley and diced red pepper worked really well together.

London Irish coach Brian Smith looking forward despite relegation battle
London Irish coach Brian Smith insists his side have sights set on moving up rather than looking over their shoulder.
Last Updated: 29/03/13 5:59pm
The Exiles boss has made clear his side have their sights set on moving forward rather than looking over their shoulder.
Irish have managed to amass a ten-point gap between themselves and London Welsh at the foot of the Aviva Premiership table.
With only four matches remaining this season, victory against fellow strugglers Sale Sharks at home would take the side a step closer to securing another year in the top flight.
"We don't look over our shoulder and we never will," Smith told the Reading Post.
"I don't know what the points difference is between Irish and bottom place and I don't care. We are just looking at the next team above us in the ladder. I know they are four points above us. That's all we are after.
"We still carry a fair bit of angst because we think we are a better team than where we are in the league and we still have four games left to prove it."
Sunday sees Irish welcome Sale to the Madejski Stadium and Smith believes his side are more than capable of putting distance between themselves and the relegation battle.
"Sale boss Steve Diamond has got his team firing," he add.
"I would like to think we are firing as well. They will have seen how our pack performed last weekend so they will certainly try to fight fire with fire up front. It will be a real man test early on.
"Plan A is going to be to take them on up front. We will just make sure we have a good Plan B and that we are good enough to execute it if we need it."
The Exiles have registered five victories in their nine home fixtures so far this season and Smith saluted the dedication of the home supporters.
"I have been really happy with the team's form at home all season," he said. "The supporters have not given the team a hard time at home at all which is fantastic. Long may that continue.
"They have got behind us, especially in the second half of those big tough games we have had."

"What can I say, even the realest n*ggas quote Pac…" – Young Jeezy
Probably more than any rapper, sensitive moments and ignorant outbursts equating to enigmatic openness defines Tupac Shakur. Credit such a veil to his Gemini personality, or better yet, through the various experiences his brief, but fast paced life afforded him. Either way, properly describing Pac is a task which is still incomplete even as we creep towards what would have been his 40th birthday.Music constituted only one aspect to the complicated simplicity of Afeni's famous offspring.
In September 2009, I profiled one of the more underrated intangibles in Pac's life – his interviews. They ran parallel with his music mainly due to the fact both provided unfiltered insight into the mind of one of Hip Hop's most troubled and brightest minds. His words have grew to become – evidenced by recent songs from Dom Kennedy, Lil Wayne and Fabolous – blueprints for how many operate throughout the industry and life in general. The following clips depict five revealing and entertaining interviews from the man himself. Some are heartfelt and compassionate. Others are Pac at his ignorance-filled height.

Plays, 19th March, 2016 -
My time with Derby is coming to an end. I might pop into my old save once in awhile, but from next week I'm starting a new adventure - one that hopefully will be televised on the YouTube. I'm not sure what club I'll be managing yet. I'm thinking about randomly picking one from a combined pool of the Premier League and Championship, and hoping for the best.
Anyway, life at Derby isn't too bad. I'm in seventh, have a good squad, plenty of promising young players, and a fairly safe position. I'll be sad to move on, but that is the life of a football manager at the top of his game.
Thanks to the magic of EA Access – pretty much the only good thing on Xbox One – I managed to have a little tinker around with EA UFC 2 this week, and guess what: it's pretty good. The ground game is still odd and stilted, but the stand up is great, evidenced by the new Knockout Mode. KO mode gets rid of grappling and clinching altogether: instead it's a straight-up slugfest which, thanks to the inclusion of a segmented health bar, actually has a slight tactical twist to it. Very good.
Elsewhere, things haven't been quite as appealing. Rolex introduced a new steel Daytona and when I called Watches of Switzerland they told me the waiting list was already four years. FOUR YEARS. Then the man laughed. Shocker.
I like it, but I'm not entirely sure why I like it... The shooting, while perfectly serviceable, is far from best-in-class; the narrative and storytelling isn't engaging in the least; and what little I've played of the Dark Zone seems more infuriating than it does intense. But there's just something about it that's kept me playing.
I think its appeal boils down to two things: 1) The Division is an easy game to play without having to pay too much attention to. You know exactly the kind of game I mean. And 2) its well-balanced RPG loop keeps it compelling, with the regular tick of new perks, abilities and higher-level loot driving you to unlock more.
I don't know if it's enough to keep me going for the long-term, just as I didn't get into Destiny quite as much as others. But at this stage, I feel like I'm enjoying 'New D' far more than I did 'Old D', and after a strong start, I just hope it manages to keep its momentum going through to the mid-endgame.
My desire to co–opt the TV to play The Division has officially become a grievance with my husband, but through compromise I can still get in quite a lot of time with it. I'm getting towards the endgame now, but I haven't been spending as much time in the Dark Zone as I might like, because I'm often not playing at the same time as my mates, and though I can survive in there on my own for a bit I'm often undone by my overconfidence. So I'm mostly concentrating on the main story at the moment, because matchmaking for that is super easy and the other players don't bother talking much. Head down; power through.
Because my main agent is a high level, last weekend I officially started a new agent for the first time so I could play alongside another member of the VG staff. Turns out that Miller has a kind of extremely specific blind spot that prevents him from seeing that his skill cooldowns are finished. He insisted more than once that they weren't, even though the whole team's skill loadout shows on screen, so I knew precisely how able to heal himself he was at all times.

Windows Only WiFi spot?
I was at a coffee shop. Connected w/Window laptop, but not W/Linux laptop.
Kwlan reported :
eth0 is disconnected
The radio is off
The scan results window comes up empty.
On the windows machine, I clicked on the wireless icon and then clicked on "View wireless conections" then clicked on "The Coffee House" and then entered the access code they gave me.
I am running an old PII Latitude CPi w/Netgear MA401 PCMCIA card. This laptop is so old that it does not have wireless, MODEM, and no Ethernet port. The Windows XP laptop is identical to the Linux one.
The Windows laptop is running XP and is using a Netgear MA521 802.11b PCMCIA card
The Linux one runs Knoppix 5.1.1 installed on the HDD and is using a Netgear MA401 card. It does not have an Ethernet card or adapter attached.
I just booted it up at home, brought up Firefox, and automatically got a connection. I have not changed any settings between the coffee house and home.
At the coffee house the card was blinking, indicating that it is on, but not connected. I am not running any encryption on it either.
The KWLAN icons at the bottom right of the screen were: The Green one With K under 3 green curved line was lit up. The one to the right of it, 2 blue dots w/3 blue curves over it were darkened out.
Remember, the other identical laptop saw their signal, and let me connect after entering their ID number. Again, it had a Netgear PCMCIA wireless card 802.11b
I am wondering why the Linux laptop did not see their signal, why Kwlan reported that the WiFi card was disconnected, when the cards blinking light indicated that it was turned on, and why this behavior at this and some other spots, but it works at most places.
I have heard of some free WiFi places denying access to anything but Windows. Has anybody heard of this?
I have never heard of anyone denying wireless access to non-Windows platforms, and I am almost positive it isn't even technically possible. You could block a system from accessing various network services through a captive portal (or even just using proprietary software), but you couldn't stop a particular OS from authenticating against your AP, that is layer 2 connectivity, below the operating system itself.
Unless I am misunderstanding the situation, it sounds like you just need to properly setup encryption to connect to the network. The "access code" they gave you is the WEP or WPA key, which you need to configure under Linux before the card can authenticate with the network. Without the key, the machine will simply fail to connect to the network after a few seconds.
Very good strength
At coffee house KWLAN reports:
eth0 is disconnected
The radio is off
The cards indicator light is flashing which indicates to me that the card is turned on.
What does "The radio is off" mean. I take it that the card does not see their WiFi signal.
I am running Knoppix 5.1.1 on the laptop HDD. KWLAN 0.5.8 (Using KDE 3.5.5)
Shouldn't the card see their signal regardless of encryption being on or off?
Have you tried scanning from the command line to see the exact output? Something like:
iwlist device scan

I just purchased a replacement firing pin for my Marlin 39A. I did not purchase it from Marlin (probably a mistake). It had a somewhat different appearance but had the features I felt were required for its purpose. I test fired and got the proverbial "click" not bang. Ok, I could not compare side by side of all features (the tip borke off mine and I can't find it) but, there are only a couple of areas that I see that are just a bit different. I could do some filing but don't feel like a purchased part like that would require modification to function properly. Here's my question: Is it normal to have to "tweak" gun parts that are purchased form 2nd source?

During the April-through-September summer driving season this year, regular gasoline retail prices are forecast to average $3.61/gallon (gal), 3 cents higher than last year and 4 cents higher than projected in last month's STEO. The projected monthly national average regular gasoline retail price falls from $3.72/gal in May to $3.51/gal in September. EIA expects regular gasoline retail prices to average $3.48/gal in 2014 and $3.39/gal in 2015, compared with $3.51/gal in 2013.
Brent crude oil spot prices averaged $108/barrel (bbl) in April. This was the 10th consecutive month in which the average Brent crude oil spot prices fell within a relatively narrow range of $107/bbl to $112/bbl. New pipeline capacity from the Midwest into the Gulf Coast helped reduce inventories at the Cushing, Oklahoma storage hub to 25 million barrels by the end of April, the lowest level since October 2009. The discount of WTI crude oil to Brent crude oil, which averaged more than $13/bbl from November through January, fell below $4/bbl in early April. Total U.S. commercial crude oil stocks at the end of April reached a record high of nearly 400 million barrels, which is expected to put downward pressure on crude oil prices. EIA projects Brent crude oil prices to average $106/bbl in 2014 and $102/bbl in 2015 and the WTI discount to Brent to average $10/bbl and $11/bbl in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
EIA estimates U.S. total crude oil production averaged 8.3 million barrels/day (bbl/d) in April 2014, which would be the highest monthly average production since March 1988. U.S. total crude oil production, which averaged 7.4 million bbl/d in 2013, is expected to increase to 8.5 million bbl/d in 2014 and 9.2 million bbl/d in 2015. The 2015 forecast represents the highest annual average level of production since 1972.
Natural gas working inventories on April 25 totaled 0.98 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), 0.79 Tcf (45%) below the level at the same time a year ago and 0.98 Tcf (50%) below the previous five-year average (2009-13). Very cold weather and low inventories contributed to volatile Henry Hub natural gas spot prices over the past few months, increasing from $3.95 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) on January 10 to a high of $8.15/MMBtu on February 10, before falling back to $4.61/MMBtu on February 27, and then bouncing back up to $7.98/MMBtu on March 4. EIA expects that the Henry Hub natural gas spot price, which averaged $3.73/MMBtu in 2013, will average $4.74/MMBtu in 2014, $0.30 higher than in last month's STEO, and $4.33/MMBtu in 2015.

I remember it like it was yesterday.
I was working for a crazy little company in Fremont, California in 1995. One day the boss-man pulled up in a shiny new Acura NSX. It was low. It was foreign. It was cool. Little did I know the bitchin' Acura in the parking lot would upset the supercar apple cart.
Twenty-five years ago, Honda put the big-boys on notice with a fast, economical and reliable supercar. Yes, reliable and supercar can be used in the same sentence without irony when speaking of a first-generation NSX.
If you set the way-back machine to 1990, you'll realize it was a different world. Supercars were rear-wheel drive, few made more than 300 horsepower, and a modern Volvo wagon would probably eat them alive on a track. By the time the NSX was euthanized in 2005, the competition had more than caught up and Honda decided its resources were best used elsewhere.
For 2017, Acura has resurrected the NSX name and applied it to an all-new mid-engine coupe, but can it fill the big shoes left by its predecessor?

Summary of Day 2 at the PokerStars UKIPT Galway
Day 2 of the PokerStars UKIPT Galway has came to an end, and it has been a very interesting day. For starters we had the surprise addition of Football legend Teddy Sheringham turning up for day 2 after a mix up at the Airport the day before. Teddy ended up running his 10k starting stack for day 2 upto 60k before going out with Kings against Aces.
Then we had the lose of some of the top players including PokerStars Pro's Jude Ainsworth and JP Kelly. Teddy Sheringham can also be added to the list of PokerStars Pro's who have left us.
Then we had feature table. Even though their isn't one. However, the table that had Padriag Parkinson, "Flipper" Walsh, and Bob Elkin at it seemed to be where all the action was happening. Padriag raising every hand and 3 and 4 betting people with very little made it interesting to watch. In the end up it became to much for Bob and Flipper as it seemed the only player to be left standing after a table that looked more like a war zone than a poker table was Padriag. And if any of you loose aggressive online players are reading this, Padriag is taking Loose aggressive poker to new levels. The poker he's playing is Super Duper Loose Aggressive poker "SuDuLAG".
So after a long day 2, we are now in the money, with Aidan Connolly being the unfortunate Bubble boy, and we finish the day with 36 players left and over night chip leaders being:
Matt Perrins – 430500
Reggie Corrigan – 373500
Padraig Parkinson – 372500
Christopher Brammer – 276000
Thomas Nolan – 272000
So now the remaining players will be look foward to day 3 and bee looking a little more confortable after knowing they are in the money.
The prize pool looks like this:
The payout structure is as follows:
1. €125,000
2. €82,000
3. €52,000
4. €36,000
5. €22,000
6. €17,000
7. €13,000
8. €11,000
9. €9000
10-12. €7000
13-15. €5000
16-18. €4200
19-24. €3400
25-30. €3100
31-36. €2800

Graphical interface freezes after main installation of Redhat enterprise 4 (64).
After an initally succesful installation of redhat enterprise linux 4 (64 bits) on a windows XP machine I have a really wierd problem.
The dual boot works fine (using GRUB) and after the first "main" installation the system reboots into grub. after continuing with booting linux for the first time the system hangs JUST when the graphical interface should show up. The thing that should show up is the continued installation, choosing graphics and setting up users and so on..... instead several colored line appear on the monitor and there is no respons from either the keyboard or the mouse (which both worked during the main installation).
Also just before the "hungup" the boot secuence checks for hardware and does not find the correct monitor or graphics card. it sais something like "Monitor: unknown, Graphics card: generic VESA"
The system I have is:
NIVIDIA GeForce 6600GT 256MB (not so very new)
The LCD monitor is a LG Flatron L19(some number)s 19" (fairly new I would guess)
The catch 22 is that the setup for the monitor and grapichs is in the graphical interface that doesn't work. Is there some way of perhaps booting in text mode and set it up correctly or is there something else wrong?
Really thankful for help.
So you have a complete install already but the graphical section is screwed up?
Bootup and when it gets to the screwed up gui screen hit Alt-Ctrl-F1. Login as root there and type the command ' init 3 '. This will stop the X server. I would then download the latest nvidia drivers and follow thier install procedure. Once nvidia drivers are installed then you can type ' init 5 ' to start X back up. Then Hit Alt-Ctrl-F7 to get to the X session for Console F1. Console F1 has a Gui on F7, F2 console with F8 for the gui and so on.

Tummy tuck July 2010. Love the results, except that a 4 inch section of the scar (just above my pubic area) was very thick. Revised April 2011- same thing happened. Diligently used silicone scar cream with spf & silicone gel sheets. Had the injections as well. They flattened the scar, but it was still wide. Just had breast reduction 2 weeks ago. My ps revised my tummy tuck scar at the same time. Wondering if I should use the micropore tape on tummy & breast scars this time for better tension.
Tummy Tuck Scar Revision (2nd Time)
Doctor Answers 6
Post-Op Care Needs To Be Individualized
Several steps can be taken to minimize the spread of scars following this type of procedure.Anything that decreases the tension on the wound closure can help minimize scar spread.For this reason, we utilize steristrips, silastic sheeting and mircopore tape for 6-8 weeks following surgery.At two months the wound has healed and regained most of its tensile strength.
It's important to realize, that each patients wound healing characteristics are unique and for this reason port-operative care needs to be individualized.In most cases, wounds have regained most of their strength in 6-8 weeks, but it's also important to realize that the wound healing process continues for a year.

How to Minimize Scars after Revision
Yes you are on the right track with the micropore tape but there are many approached to obtain the best scar.
There are many possible causes for scars that are enlarged or not healing well. Unsightly scars are most commonly due to genetics, underlying medical conditions, or improper scar/wound care. The last part is very important and patients can make a noticeable difference in their scars' appearance by following best scar management practices. Here are some simple tips.
Scar Management tips:
Minimize tension on the scar. Steri-Strips and/or surgical tape are often placed in non-hair bearing areas to minimize tension and keep pressure over the scar. This minimizes the stress that can pull the scar apart (dehiscence) creating a wound and delaying healing time, and can make the scar wider, or more "ropy".
Keep your incision site/scar clean to prevent infection. Follow your surgeon's wound care instructions to the letter with out modification. Never apply different products then recommended without first discussing them with your surgeon. This is especially important during the first few weeks. If there are any signs of infection, contact your surgeon's office right away and/or see your doctor or his nurse immediately. Typical signs of infection may include redness outside the immediate incision site, asymmetric swelling, and drainage, of pus, fever, chills, and "feeling sick".
Protect your scars from the sun. Staying out of the sun is the best advice. Minimal exposure to sunlight is prevents hyperpigmentation (permanently turning brown) and other problems that can make the scar more noticeable. Sunscreen, at least 30 SPF and an overlying make camouflage make up additionally protects the scar from the suns harmful rays. This advice is especially important the first year following your surgery.
Use specific scar maturation products recommended by your surgeon. Patients seem to have their own opinions on this touting everything from Pure Vit E, Coco butter, to Aloe Vera, etc but most have minimal benefit other than keeping the scar hydrated. Although hydration is important there are better, scientifically studied products with greater efficacy. Most of the scientific articles written about this subject indicate that topical silicone gel or silicone sheets work the best. There are a lot of products to choose from, but silicone should be one of the key ingredients. Although Mederma, an onion extract derivative active ingredient rather than mainly silicone based may help, primarily silicone based products are better and many also contain other ingredients that may be synergistic (hydrocortisone or other steroid, Vitamin E, Sunscreen,etc). At the present time I prefer BioCorneum or Kelo-Cote products especially on areas that silicone strips aren't applicable, for example, on the face. If the reader has problems obtaining these they can call my office. Patient compliance is also critical – use often and according to directions or it will not work optimally. NEVER apply products without first discussing them with your surgeon.
Monitor to make sure your scar is progressing optimally. Keep your scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to verify that your scars are maturing as expected. Occasionally if indicated you may need a topical steroid preparation or even a series of injections (5-FU and/or Steroids) or laser treatments to treat or prevent scar hypertrophy or keloid formation (red raised scars), or other topical medicines to treat post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (brown scars) with prescription creams and possible laser treatments.

Consider greater undermining and repair of the superficial fascia
Scar revision where the previous scar is cut out and the skin is closed places tension on the skin closure and predisposes you to a bad scar again. Freeing up the tissue to allow more laxity and closing the incision by repairing the superficial fascia will place a much smaller amount of tension on the skin closure and hopefully a better scar result.
All the best,

Scar revision from tummy tuck
We like to use Hypa-fix tape across scars to help remove tension, but taping is no substitute for surgically managing tissue for tension free durable closure. Follow up with your surgeon during healing so that if scar begins to worsen, timely intervention to minimize problem can be instituted.

Scar revision
It sounds like you did everything you could after the first scar revision and there was still widening. The reason the scar widens in the middle is because that is where the wound closure has the greatest tension on it.i would recommend you follow whatever instructions your plastic surgeon gives you, Tummy tuck scars can take a year or longer to fade. Although steroid injections can help, too many injections can actually make things worse by causing the scar to thin out and widen too much. If you do have steroid injections done, I recommend a series of three injections one month apart and no more. Otherwise, it's largely a matter of time and patience. Good luck!

I don't know about you, but I can't wait for 2020! And it's not just because the Olympics and Paralympics are coming to Tokyo, the metropolis that Trip Advisor recently designated the world's "most satisfying city" for tourists. In case you aren't aware, by 2020 Tokyo and Japan are going to be much, much more satisfying. It's as if Japan is sharing the whimsy of America's most oft-quoted author, Dr. Seuss, in "Oh, the places you'll go!"
Just look at the promises we've made — oh, the places we'll go!
We'll be on our way up!
Tokyo will be completely safe from nuclear-disaster fallout, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told the International Olympic Committee, referring to the aftereffects of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear meltdowns. "Let me assure you," he said, "the situation is under control." He impressed upon the committee that the radioactive leaks never have and never will affect Tokyo.
Well, I'm glad someone has a handle on all this, especially since highly contaminated water used to cool the fuel in the damaged reactors is building up at the Fukushima No. 1 plant at the rate of 400 tons a day. Tepco is also building an underground ice wall around buildings at the plant in the hope that this will reduce the further 400 tons of groundwater that becomes contaminated as it passes through the plant's basements and surroundings daily. And in separate incidents, plenty of contaminated water has already made its way into the sea, but if we can get those fish to not swim to Tokyo, I'm sure we'll all be fine!
We'll be seeing great sights!
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga is encouraging the central government to use the 2020 Tokyo games as an opportunity to boost economic growth and tourism nationwide. He advocates a "Japan Olympics" rather than one focusing on Tokyo alone.
Bravo! So, I'm presuming they'll include the Tohoku tourist sights in their plans, and I'm hoping they'll send some of those new stadiums over here to western Japan. Spectators could always buy Japan Rail Passes and take the bullet train back and forth between events. After all, who doesn't enjoy riding the shinkansen? We're expected to receive more and more visitors throughout Japan for years on end due to the aftereffects of the games.
We'll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.
Abe hopes that by 2020, Japan will have done away with the self-imposed ban on collective defense. If his proposed reinterpretation of the Constitution's Article 9 goes through, Japan will be able to help its allies should they be attacked. We'll be able to protect U.S. naval ships and shoot down ballistic missiles. In short, we'll be able to get ourselves killed again! Yay!
We won't lag behind, because we'll have the speed.
Starting in 2020, the education ministry will extend the period of classroom English study from elementary through high school in an attempt to make Japan more global. This will begin six years from now, because starting right away would be, well, six years premature for globalness! We really don't need English communication until then, so why start early? We can always catch up later.
When we welcome an expected 10 million visitors for the Olympiad — many who will speak English — we'll be sure to not be ready! And what better way to motivate people than to have them jump straight into the deep end? They'll learn English even faster then.
We'll pass the whole gang and we'll soon take the lead.
By 2020, Abe has pledged to have more than 30 percent of civil-service managerial positions filled by women. And the number of day-care centers will have increased to accommodate 70,000 more children, getting tots off day-care waiting lists and women into jobs.
OK, so we should have done this long ago, but the government expects the economic benefits of hosting the Olympics to be as much as ¥3 trillion and for the games to create 150,000 jobs. We'll get there in the end, but we just need more time to take the lead.
Wherever we fly, we'll be the best of the best.
Soon after 2020, we'll be whizzing by everyone else in maglev trains at 500 km per hour. That's 310 miles per hour! No one will be able to catch us then.
Wherever we go, we will top all the rest.
Except when we don't. Because, sometimes, we won't. There will be times, I'm sorry to say, when we'll find ourselves in "The Waiting Place": Waiting for a superior to leave, or a young entrepreneur to come. Waiting for English education to improve, the tax laws to change, the nuclear reactors to restart. Waiting for the economy to revive, the TPP to be OK'd, the Futenma base to be moved, or waiting for Japan's global competitiveness to improve. Waiting for Filipino health care workers to come and Indonesian nurses to pass tests. Waiting for the Hague Convention to be signed. Waiting for child-care reform, immigration reform, or an English sign to show you the way. Everyone is just waiting for decisions to be made, policies to be implemented, change to start.
But oh, the places we'll go! There are points to be scored, there are games to be won.
With the new 80,000-capacity stadium, we'll have plenty of space for recreation and events after the Games end. Even elephants will be able to bring their families to the stadium and be guaranteed good seats. City dogs will finally have a stadium to exercise in (ooh, all those stairs!) and Japan can surely use the arena to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records with the largest daily morning "radio taiso" exercise event for octogenarians.
We'll be famous as famous can be, with the whole wide world watching us win on TV.
The economy will surge, we'll get out of this mess! Because 2020 and the Tokyo Olympics will be here! And all our troubles will be gone.
Unless, of course, they won't. Because, sometimes, they don't.
Starting in July, Japan Lite will appear on the fourth Thursday Community Page of the month. Your comments: firstname.lastname@example.com

London, January 26 (ANI): Indian origin author Jeet Thayil has won the DSC Prize for South Asian literature for his Booker-nominated debut novel about drug addiction in Mumbai - 'Narcopolis'.
Thayil is the first Indian to win the prize, awarded annually to a work of fiction "inspired by the South Asian region, people, culture and diaspora."
Thayil, one of six shortlisted authors, won 50,000 dollars (32,000 pounds), the BBC reported.
The shortlist was drawn from more than 80 entries by authors and translators from around the world.
Books in contention included Jamil Ahmad's 'The Wandering Falcon', Tahmima Anam's 'The Good Muslim', Amitav Ghosh's 'River of Smoke', Mohammed Hanif's 'Our Lady of Alice Bhatti' and Uday Prakash's 'The Walls of Delhi'.
Manhad Narula, one of the organisers of the literary prize, said the winning novel "unearthed... a rare, unfiltered, inside view into a lesser known world that exists within South Asia."
Thayil, a poet and librettist who has lived in Mumbai, Hong Kong and New York, has called his first novel "nightmarish".
The DSC Prize, now in its third year, is sponsored by the construction company DSC Limited, principal sponsor of the Jaipur Festival. (ANI)

I suffered an accident just over a year ago that left my right nostril scarred. After a couple months I started to notice a bit of indentation and it eventually warped my nostril giving it the 'sharp' unnatural look it has now.
It's made me self-conscious and I've decided I want it fixed. Is it possible to remove the dent and give my nostril its original shape?

Not only has Robert Pattinson cut off all communication with Kristen Stewart following the recent cheating scandal, it's now been alleged that he doesn't think this is the first time she's cheated. Say what?
R-Pattz has been keeping on the down low since the whole affair emerged, but inside his mind is racing it seems and he reportedly thinks that Kristen's a 'serial cheater.'
A source told HollywoodLife: "Rob is convinced this isn't the first time she cheated on him, making his decision about staying with her and giving her another chance that much harder," our source said.
"He isn't going to be convinced otherwise that this was the only time. He thinks she cheated definitely with Rupert more then once, and others he has thought about as well. His mind is racing and he can't trust her."
And the story continues...
Meanwhile, if K-Stew didn't have plenty to be "angry at herself" about, there's even more reasons to now.
A source has told Us Weekly that her boyfriend of three years and co-star, Robert Pattinson, had plans to propose to Stewart before her affair to married Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders was exposed.
Reportedly, in recent months, Hollywood's most famous young coupling were discussing getting serious and Pattinson, 26, was intending to "spend the rest of his life" with the 22-year-old.
Aaahh, is it going to be a case of 'another celeb romance bites the dust'?

Alleged Plagiarism by Chicago State's Interim Provost
The University of Illinois at Chicago is investigating allegations that Angela Henderson, currently interim provost of Chicago State University, plagiarized her nursing Ph.D. dissertation, The Chicago Tribune reported. The Tribune had three experts on academic integrity review the dissertation and sources on which it drew. "The experts said Henderson had errors in attribution that violate the UIC College of Nursing's policy on academic integrity included in the student handbook," the newspaper reported. "In her dissertation, Henderson at times uses verbatim or near-verbatim language from other sources without using quotation marks to tell the reader that it is identical. Her citations include the author and year of publication but not the exact reference or page number as required by UIC's policy."
Tricia Bertram Gallant, editor of the book Creating the Ethical Academy: A Systems Approach to Understanding Misconduct & Empowering Change in Higher Education, said, "These are repeated issues. It is not sloppiness here or there, or plagiarism here or there, it is quite often."
The Tribune also noted that a member of Henderson's dissertation committee was Wayne Watson, president at Chicago State, with whom Henderson previously worked. Henderson's husband is Watson's personal lawyer.
Henderson declined to comment.

It should be known that Girl Scouts don't just sell cookies. They sometimes have the opportunity to help the community.
Local Girl Scout troop 20447 decided that designing a house for the feral cat population on the Solano Community College Fairfield campus wasn't enough — they wanted to build it, too.
So Maya Nelson, Marissa Grimes and Erin Godwin set to work researching a cat house design, fundraising to help cover the cost of the building materials and finally constructing the cat house.
On Thursday, the three scouts officially gave the house to Wendy Phillips during a ceremony near the 1200 theater building.
Phillips is founder of the Campus Cat Coalition, which traps feral cats living on the SCC campus so they can either be spayed or neutered, then returned to campus so they can live out their lives.
The three scouts built the house as part of a silver award project.
"A silver award project identifies a problem in the community, which offers a lasting contribution to the community," said Ann Hefner-Gravink, who helps oversee the project.
Hefner-Gravink said that the girls saw that helping the feral cats on the SCC campus would make a contribution to the community.
"I am really proud of them," Hefner-Gravink said, as she stood next to the cat house with the foundation stained a walnut brown and black paper covering the roof and the area in front of the main entrance to the house. "A few girls said that this project was 'too much work' or they were 'too busy' but these girls stuck with it."
"It taught us teamwork," said Erin Godwin, standing next to her fellow scouts.
Marissa Grimes added that since she is a Leo, she loves cats and after completing the house project her view on cats changed for the better.
"We are truly touched by your kindness," said Phillips,
Phillips said that the way the house is built it will help three cats a night stay warm during the cold season.
She also said that she doesn't know where the house will be placed.
"We might keep it here (near the 1200 building) or move it out near the football field," Phillips said.
After the ceremony, Phillips stressed that individuals should not drop off unwanted cats at the SCC campus, since the campus is not a cat sanctuary.

Today, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the punishments being handed out to the New Orleans Saints and their coaching staff for a bounty program in place from 2009 to 2011. During this time, Saints players were offered cash bonuses for injuring star players from other teams. They were given rewards for possibly ending the careers of their opponents.
In a strong, harsh response to the scandal, the league suspended head coach Sean Payton for a year without pay. They suspended the former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who coordinated the bounty system, indefinitely. The took away the Saints second round draft picks for the next time years (the team had already traded away their first round picks). And of course, they handed out a whole lot of fines. Really, it was a whole lot of punishment.
As a fan, I'm happy to see that the league took their players' safety seriously and addressed this problem firmly. I enjoy football, and the idea of rewarding a player for injuring someone makes me literally sick to my stomach.
But when I think about this scandal and its outcome in the business world, the ethics of the matter get a little blurry. In fact, the more I think about it, the more the Saints sound like plenty of successful companies I've worked for.
Here's just one example. A couple months ago, my former employer had me prepare a sales incentive targeted at stealing away our competitors draught beer in local bars and restaurants. Every time you replaced competition's keg with one of our's, you received a bonus. Pretty straight-forward and widely recognizable incentive, right?
What if I told you that one of the sales people from our competitors company lost their job because their draught percentage went too low? Technically, that would mean that my company gave bonuses to put another person out of work. But all of us would be okay with that. It would be the competitors fault for failing at their job.
When it's just bottom lines and profit margins or even salaries and bonuses, this whole bounty system is pretty much business-as-usual. It's when we start talking about injuries and health people get upset. And rightly so. But there's still that nagging feeling that the Saints bounty system was just a sales incentive on steroids. After all, football players deal in terms of physical capability, not profits or revenue. By targeting their opponents health, they were attacking the competition in the most effective way they knew how.
The reactions from NFL players and coaches around the league have shown the mixed feelings that this scandal brings to light. Some players were downright dismissive, acting like bounty systems were just a part of the game. Shawne Merriman, linebacker for the Buffalo Bills tweeted, "Why is this a big deal now? Bounties been going on forever. A 'Bounty' left me with a torn PCL and LCL in my knee …" Ryan Clark, safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers was more upset at whoever blew the whistle on the program, instead of those who instituted it, "Whoever is snitching on the Saints D should be ashamed of themselves. No one was talking about the 'bounty' when they got paid. #shame!"
This scandal has shocked the sports world and led to some unprecedented punishments, but I wonder if it will make corporate America rethink the way we foster competition and target our opponents? Somehow, I don't think even the National Football League has that much clout.

Henry included in Barca party
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has included striker Thierry Henry in a 21-man squad for Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against Chelsea.
Henry picked up a knee injury during Saturday's 6-2 Primera Division victory over Real Madrid and did not take part in training on Monday, but the Frenchman has been named in Guardiola's squad for the trip to London.
Captain Carles Puyol will also travel with his team-mates even though he is suspended, meaning injured defenders Gabriel Milito and Rafael Marquez are the only members of Barca's first-team squad not to make the journey.
Young defender Alberto Botia has also been included for the tie, which is currently locked at 0-0 following the first leg at the Nou Camp.

The chant of Four More Years fills the Stroh Center
Wed, 26 Sep 2012 22:56:57 GMT —
In the 2012 presidential election the magic number is 270. That is the number of Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency. And with less than 6 weeks to go before Election Day it is becoming increasingly clear that Ohio's 18 electoral votes will likely determine the winner. Further evidence of Ohio's importance in the election is that on Wednesday both President Obama and his opponent Mitt Romney were both campaigning in Northwest Ohio.
More than 5,000 people filled the Stroh Center on the campus of Bowling Green State University to hear a forty five minute speech from the President. "I don't believe we can get very far with leaders who write off half the nation as a bunch of victims, who never take responsibility for their own lives; I look at this crowd here and I don't see victims, I see a lot of hard working Ohioans," Mr. Obama said.
BGSU student Seth Melchor introduced President Obama. "Yeah, I talked to him both before and after and you can't describe the feeling when he came up to me, I mean how do you introduce yourself," Mr. Melchor said.
The President's appearance in Bowling Green on Wednesday was the President's 13th trip to Ohio in 2012.

A DRIVER who collided with a motorcyclist and failed to stop or report the accident has been given a suspended prison sentence.
Richard Themistocleous, 35, of Silverdale Avenue, Riddlesden, was charged with careless driving, failing to stop and failing to report after the accident, on June 21, on the B6265 at Riddlesden, at its junction with the A650 Aire Valley Road.
Bradford and Keighley Magistrates Court heard yesterday that Themistocleous drove away after the motorcyclist landed on his bonnet and smashed the windscreen. The rider suffered shock and lower back pain.
Themistocleous, a service engineer, was driving a company Vauxhall Astra estate when the accident happened.
District Judge Susan Bouch said the defendant then reported the vehicle stolen to police.
Themistocleous told a probation officer he had no memory of the accident and was devastated by what had happened.
Mrs Bouch sentenced him to ten weeks imprisonment suspended for 12 months, with 150 hours unpaid community work, and endorsed his licence with ten penalty points.

I am two weeks post septorhinoplasty and yesterday by accident I lightly rubbed my nostril. It's slightly swollen now (its been 24 hours) and I am scared that it could have caused damage. I felt pain for few seconds and there was no bleeding and no redness. Could that affect the result of my septorhinoplasty?
Rubbed my Nostril Lightly Two Weeks After Rhinoplasty?

{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
It is very unlikely that lightly rubbing the nose will adversely affect the final appearance of your nose. It is very common for the nose to be swollen 2 weeks after surgery, regardless of mild trauma postoperatively. This swelling will slowing dissipate and may last for months. If you still have concerns, follow up with your plastic surgeon for a quick check up.
Thanks for your question. Best wishes!

Answered by:
The database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin' on machine 'Somename' that prevents it from being opened or locked.
I have one FE that does not open correctly. Four identical computers running Access 2003 and Windows XP SP3. When the problem FE opens it connects to BE and begins initializing FE tables. It eventually hangs with the message that the database has been placed in a state.... All code prior to the point at which the failure occurs is by nature of UPDATEs to local tables. The point of failure is at first INSERT statement, when customer table is copied from BE to FE table. The same code runs properly on each of the other 3 FEs. So I believe there must be something different about the FE on the particular desktop where the problem occurs. I have looked for a straggling lock file (.ldb file), both on the local desktop and on the BE, but do not find a file in either the folder where the BE exists or where the troubled FE resides. Someone suggested that it might be the advanced setting in options for opening "with record-level locking". I have tried this both ways, and no change. The problem occurs every time this FE is opened and is not dependent on other users who might be connected to the BE, at least as far as I can tell. The failure occurs when the only FE active is the one with the problem. If anyone has a suggestion I'd be interested to learn about it.
code below:
Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command
Dim strSQL As String
cnn.ConnectionString = BEConnect 'declared in another module
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblLCustomers ( CustID, Cust, HmPhone, CustAddress, wkPhone, AltPhone, Map, CitySZ, BillToAddress, BTCSZ, CustType )" & _
" IN '" & CurrentDb.Name & "' SELECT tblCustomers.CustomerID, tblCustomers.LName & ', ' & tblCustomers.FName AS Cust," & _
" tblCustomers.HmPhonePrefix & tblCustomers.HmPhone AS HmPhone, tblCustomers.SvcAddress AS CustAddress," & _
" tblCustomers.WkPhonePrefix & tblCustomers.WkPhone AS wkPhone, tblCustomers.AltPhonePrefix & tblCustomers.AltPhone AS AltPhone," & _
" tblCustomers.MapCoordinates AS Map, tblCustomers.SvcCity & ', ' & tblCustomers.SvcState & ' ' & tblCustomers.SvcZip AS CitySZ," & _
" tblCustomers.BillToAddress, tblCustomers.BillToCity & ', ' & tblCustomers.BillToState & ' ' & tblCustomers.BillToZip AS BTCSZ," & _
" tblCustomers.CustType FROM tblCustomers ORDER BY tblCustomers.LName, tblCustomers.FName;"
With cmd
.ActiveConnection = cnn
.CommandText = strSQL
End With
It sounds like Access thinks something in the database is open in design mode. Since replacing the FE does not fix it it must be something outside the database -- i.e. in the registry.

Some things you may want to try, if you haven't already, include copying one of the working FE databases to the machine that is not working and see if there is any change in behavior. Also, you didn't say anything about user permissions. I would want to make sure the user who is using the troubled FE has the appropriate permissons on the BE. For example, you could login as a different user (preferrably a user who is using one of the working FEs) on the troubled FE machine and see if the issue persists.
I am assuming machine "Somename" is the machine holding the BE, however, you may want to confirm this.

I doubt that "Somename" is a BE machine. I think it is the name of a problem FE machine. I faced this issue with the following conditions:
user make some sort of an action query (for example, updates a table) and his FE hangs. He opens Task Manager and terminates an Access process. So, he is 'still in BE' and simultaneously he is still locking this table. Other users may face this error message trying to access this table, but they work fine with other tables (of course, I mean with other forms based on these tables).
Another situation I met is exactly using ADO. While testing some ADO code on my local not splitted db I noticed:
if we open a connection then have an unhandled error before closing it - we see either the same error message or smth like 'You have no exclusive rights for this database at the moment'. But I'm not sure about the last one, it may be related to disk/network issues.
So, I think there should be deeper exploring of the circumstances.
Andrey V Artemyev | Saint-Petersburg, Russia
Thanks for considering this David. "Somename" was used for illustration purposes. The computername of the Front End (FE) local machine is the name that actually appears in the error. FE has been copied from a working desktop to the troubled desktop with no effect. User has admin rights on both FE and BE (for evaluation of problem). And in this case the message says the failure is because user "Admin" on FE machine has placed the database in a state where it cannot be opened or locked. The BE is not actually locked by this failure, as users on working FEs are able to access BE without difficulty. The FE looks for any failure to update tables at login and terminates if tables aren't updated.The user on troubled FE is simply unable to log in because the FE fails to update local tables during sign in.
Thanks for looking at this Andrey. You think it might be an unhandled error from someplace earlier in the code? A connection opened...an unhandled error...the connection closed...leading to the problem with "The Database has been put into a state by "...error? I will definitely look for this. Don't know why the other FEs don't also manifest the same error though.
Hi sir,
Are you using Access Runtime or a full install of access or ms office?
Replace the said FE, it might be corrupted. If the same problems occurs then there are some Office/ OS files involved here. Im assuming that the same FE is working on other machines.
Download virtual BOX, Create VM and try it there using the same OS.
Move the code into a Public Function. Then put the call to the function at the begining of your initialization code. If it works move the call lower down in the initialization code until it fails.
Also, I assume you left out the code that closes the connection and sets it to Nothing.
Since you have tried a new copy of the FE from a working machine, and since you have looked at the permissions issues both related to the System database and the Windows file permissions, this would lead me to believe that issue may not be Access related. Some additional things I would look at include replacing the System.mdw file or whatever you are using for a system database (preferrably using a copy from a working machine, or create a new one depending on your circumstances). I would turn off/disable any antivirus software. We have found in the past that this can affect Access databases. I would make sure you are running the latest service pack for Office 2003 on the troubled machine.
I would also start shutting down any other software running on the machine. You can do this from Task Manager or use MSCONFIG from the Run... prompt. You haven't mentioned it so I will also suggest reinstalling Access 2003 or Office 2003 on the machine in question if none of the other solutions work and if you have not done so already.
These types of issues can be difficult to pin down, so you will have try and eliminate possible causes.
David Lloyd
Lemington Consulting
David Lloyd Lemington Consulting http://LemingtonIT.com
Thanks for the suggestions David. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Office 2003. Also made sure to install all the updates and service packs after reinstalling Office. The problem remains. Also tried turning off the anti-virus software. These do not seem to be related to the problem. I have taken this workstation out of service until I can afford the time it is going to cost me to nail this problem down.
Thank you for considering this problem. The point at which the code fails appears in the example above. It is the first time an INSERT statement occurs during the startup of the FE. I have bypassed the particular statement above and next INSERT statement (which is the next code in startup sequence anyway) produces identical error. And 'YES' , in the example above I left out the lines that CLOSE the connection and set to NOTHING. There is a sequence of "UPDATE" s that occur prior to this and they flow along without a hitch. But on this particular FE the error occurs at the "INSERT". 3 other FE's running same code do not manifest any error. All FE's are operating on XP SP3, with OFFICE 2003 and latest updates.
It sounds like Access thinks something in the database is open in design mode. Since replacing the FE does not fix it it must be something outside the database -- i.e. in the registry.
- Marked as answer by AlwaysNtrbl Saturday, June 04, 2011 5:44 PM
Another test would be to start the computer in Safe Mode with Networking Support (F8 during startup) and see if the problem persists. This will allow you to test the software with a minimum amount of software and services running on the machine. If it works in Safe Mode, this means there is another software program or driver causing the issue.
You didn't say anything about what type of System database (.mdw ) you are using and if there are any special permissions. The System database controls locking, etc., so it is certainly a possible cause. Please detail more about the System database, and whether you have tried to replace it. You can access the System database from the Tools menu, Security..., Workgroup Adminstrator.

I did check the system database, but this did not make a difference. I also tried starting the unit in SAFE mode. This also made no difference. I concluded, after all these approaches failed that about the only remaining possibility was a Windows registry problem. In the end I wiped the drive. Reinstalled Windows XP, Office and all the updates. This finally resolved the problem.
