Always good to see the industry having its eyes opened.
When people look back at who helped make the big changes I am sure both those companies/people will figure highly.
Its nice to be working with people who share the same vision
Best of luck

And very pleased to be working with Andy and the ARC team to assist in maintaining their no adware policy for the programs they manage. We are also coordinating these efforts with SAS as well, which is being quite productive so far. Trying to turn over as many rocks as possible that some folks like to try and hide under.
Andy is correct in I'm maxed out with just the adware testing. I don't do TM or spam monitoring. There are other companies who provide those services. My focus is towards expanding my capabilities with the adware testing. I have no plans at this time of expanding into TM or spam monitoring.

* FTSE 100 up 0.5 pct
* Banks buoyant, hit 4-month high
* HSBC near 4-year high on MS upgrade
* Miners provide strong foundation
* DS Smith jumps on results, acquisition plan
By Helen Reid
LONDON, June 29 (Reuters) - Robust banks and mining stocks fuelled the FTSE's rise on Thursday, running ahead of European peers with HSBC leading the pack after Morgan Stanley piled praise on a bank already benefiting from a strong upturn among financials globally.
Britain's major share index was up 0.5 percent, comparing favourably with euro zone stocks which turned lower after an upbeat start.
British banks jumped 3 percent to a four-month high after the U.S. regulator approved higher dividends and buybacks, sending a ripple effect across financials worldwide.
The Fed approved plans from all the 34 largest U.S. banks, including U.S. units of HSBC and Deutsche Bank, to use extra capital for stock buybacks and other purposes beyond a cushion against possible catastrophe.
HSBC stole the show, up 4.8 percent to a near four-year high after a Morgan Stanley upgrade to 'overweight' added to enthusiasm over the U.S. regulator's approval. Analysts said they saw capital return rising up the agenda for the bank, with around $45 billion of surplus by 2019.
"Our work suggests HSBC will be in the top quartile of EU banks for cash returns over the next three years," said Morgan Stanley analysts.
"HSBC's weighting towards Asia sets it apart from everything else that's listed here. I can see why there's potential for a split where people start looking at HSBC instead of Lloyds, who are far more exposed to Brexit risks," said Gareth Burchell, partner at Shard Capital.
"HSBC pays a very high dividend which is also attractive," he added.
Miners Anglo American, Glencore, BHP Billiton and Antofagasta underpinned robust gains, as copper and gold prices climbed against the weaker U.S. dollar.
Meanwhile Royal Mail hit a two-month low, last down 3.1 percent at 414.6 pence.
"We are buyers if the stock gets back towards 4 pounds," said Burchell. "We're keen on what they've got in terms of real estate and how they are commercialising that."
Mid-caps also saw some robust company moves, with hefty losses from JD Sports sending the index down 0.1 percent.
Packaging company DS Smith jumped as much as 9 percent, hitting an all-time high after reporting some upbeat full-year results and a planned $920 million acquisition of 80 percent of U.S. corrugated packaging firm Interstate Resources.
"While the headline 16.8 times multiple of operating profit looks expensive, the deal is more reasonable post synergies," said analysts at Davy Research.
JD Sports sank 10 percent, set for its worst day in a year, after a trading update showed sales growth in line with expectations.
"The muted tone of the statement could weigh on the share price in the near-term," said George Mensah, analyst at Shore Capital.
And value investor darling Purple Bricks gained 4.3 percent after reporting full-year revenue for the online real estate agency was up 151 percent. (Reporting by Helen Reid; Editing by Keith Weir)

It's a brisk evening in Southern California, just ahead of the first winter storm of the season, and the locals are shivering outside of Los Angeles' famed Cinerama Dome, dressed in wool sweaters and coats, tightly wound scarves and industrial strength denim. But not Liam McIntyre.
Betraying the steely gravity he exudes on screen in leather and knives as the new lead of "Spartacus: Vengeance," AccessHollywood.com's newest Rising Star is grinning ear-to-ear, inflamed with a boyish excitement as he walks the red carpet at his first ever Hollywood premiere – an event for his own show.
"I used to set up premieres for like, Australian people at the cinema I used to work at, so I know what it feels like to carry a red carpet like this and set up these bollards, but I don't know what it feels like to stand on here and be asked questions," Liam told Access.
It was just a year ago, in fact, that the late 20-something actor was working in his native country, pulling a working stiff's shift, and acting was still something he did on the side.
"I was deciding what movies they put on," he told Access, in another interview, of his pre-breakthrough 9 to 5 gig. "It was a really cool job… Not anywhere near as cool as this job."
There were small parts during that time — in an episode of HBO's "The Pacific," movie shorts and the long-running Aussie soap institution "Neighbours" — and his day job kept Liam in touch with his dream.
"I think I got that job because I wanted to be an actor," Liam said of his cinema stint. "It was kind of cool to work and see your heroes every day as part of your job."
But one day, a little over a year ago, the people who make the heroes called for Liam. The problem was his own body wasn't actually ready to answer.
The actor had been working on a film – "Frozen Moments" – which, like Christian Bale in "The Machinist" or Michael Fassbender in "Hunger" — had required the Australian to drop a significant amount of weight.
Sitting there, more than 40 pounds smaller than his normal frame, the team behind Starz' "Spartacus" series (having received the support of original star – the now late Andy Whitfield – to recast the role) told Liam they were seeking a new champion.
"They said, 'We're interested; we're not sure; go and train for ages and ages, and then? Maybe,'" Liam recounted "It was a good reason to get into shape. So that was great. [I thought], even if it wasn't going to work out, at least I'll be fit.
"And then the good news came," he added. "It was the greatest day of my life."
Looks aside, it's easy to see why he was cast. Off camera, Liam is genuine, down-to-earth, confident and charming, with a rare sense of humor, putting him somewhere between Tom Hanks and fellow Aussie Hugh Jackman. But on camera, he's switches to something quite different, showing off a rare mix of being simultaneously both commanding and vulnerable.
When fans last saw Spartacus, in 2010, then played by Andy, the Thracian and his fellow gladiators had freed themselves from the bonds of Roman slavery, slaughtering their master Batiatus (John Hannah), and nearly all of his kin (Lucy Lawless' Lucretia survived).
Like it is for Liam himself, the story of Season 2 is about the rise of a leader. For Spartacus, it is about leading a band of rebels on the run, on the way to forming a great army, and for the actor, it's leading this new phase of the show.
"It's the weirdest thing, I actually thought that somewhere in Episode 1… I thought, 'How am I gonna lead, especially like the established… People like Manu Bennett – Crixus – and Dan [Feuerriegel] and Katrina [Law] and all these people. How do you take that on and lead these people?" Liam said. "So in a weird way, there's some sort of dualism there, which is kind of cool."
While audiences get their first taste of "Spartacus: Vengeance" on Friday night, Starz has seen enough of Liam's leadership to know that the network wants more.
A Season 3 has already been greenlit.
"That was a relief. It's really touching that they would back a show and me as the new guy in this huge role, this epic standard that's been set by Andy," Liam smiled. "That's flattering if nothing else — and a real humbling experience."
"I'm like the luckiest person in the world," Liam told Access. "That's comfortably easy to say."
"Spartacus: Vengeance" kicks off Friday night at 10 PM on Starz.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
NEW YORK – Former New York Giants football star Plaxico Burress was indicted by a grand jury on weapons charges after shooting himself in the thigh at a Manhattan night club last winter, prosecutors announced Monday.
The indictment charged the 31-year-old Mr. Burress with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one count of reckless endangerment, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said.
Mr. Burress's former teammate, Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce, wasn't indicted for his role in the incident.
"A grand jury applied the law to the facts of this case," Mr. Morgenthau said.
No one else is likely to face charges in the case, Mr. Morgenthau said. He said some of the others involved in the incident "showed first-degree bad judgment," but their actions didn't rise to the level of a crime.
Mr. Burress was at the Latin Quarter nightclub Nov. 29 when he shot himself in the thigh after a gun tucked in the waist of his track pants slipped down his leg and fired. Authorities say Mr. Pierce, who was with Mr. Burress at the club, drove his then-teammate to the hospital and took the gun to Mr. Burress's home in Totowa, N.J.
The gun wasn't licensed. No one called police to report the gunshot wound, as required by law: not the players, nor National Football League officials, nor the hospital where Mr. Burress was treated.
Both Messrs. Burress and Pierce testified before the grand jury last week. Mr. Burress told reporters then that he was sorry for his actions.
"I was truthful, I was honest, and I'm truly remorseful for what I've done and for what happened," Mr. Burress said.
He faces up to 3 1/2 years in prison. He pleaded not guilty to weapons charges earlier this year and is free on $100,000 bail.
Mr. Burress, who caught the winning touchdown for the Giants over the New England Patriots in the final minute of the 2008 Super Bowl, also could face disciplinary action by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell under the league's personal-conduct policy. Mr. Goodell's office announced in June that the league already had started its examination of the shooting.
The Giants released Mr. Burress in April and he has yet to sign with another team.

This is an amazing product. I did not have such high expectations when purchasing it; I did so because of the combination of essential oils which seemed to be great. After the first night of using it directly on my face and neck, my skin was glowing in the morning and looked 'whole'...as if it had received all the nutrients it needed. I also mixed a few drops of this oil with my moisturiser and the results were very good. I used it as directed nightly for 2 weeks and then I decided to continue using it because it made my skin look so smooth and diminished a couple of red marks. It has been a month of use and I am still using it! A little goes a long way and since it has suited my combination skin so well, I do not see why I should just use it for 2 weeks at a time. I will continue until the weather gets warmer. This is definitely a star product for me!
I am now slowly replacing my existing skincare with Anne Semonin products (Active Serum, Tissue Serum) because they are so gentle and effective.

Seabiscuitthe real thing
Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?… He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength… He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage… He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha. Job 39:19-25, excerpts
Take the Cinderella story, change the gender to male, put the hero in equine form; instead of a fairy godmother, put in three male benefactors, and dont forget to add a touch of magic. And by the way, its a true story.
Seabiscuit, the Gary Ross film now playing at Showplace 16, provides all the heart-thumping excitement of the Triple Crownand a little something more. Based on Laura Hillenbrands best-selling book, the movie depicts the rags-to-riches tale of a hard-luck horse who found three unlikely human friends who joined forces to form a winning team.
These were the Depression years. Americans were in the midst of hard times, and people were struggling to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. But if this era was rough on humans, it was even more so for a horse that it seemed nobody wanted. Thats why the new owner, bicycle shop entrepreneur Charles Howard, got him so cheap. Then there was the unconventional old trainer, Tom Smith. And how about the jockey-cum-prizefighter, Johnny Red Pollard? He was said to be too big, and as would be revealed later after a heart-stopping loss, blind in one eye.
Not all gambling takes place at the mutuel window. This unlikely trio and their horse were regarded as something of a joke by the Eastern aristocrats of horse racing. If racing was the sport of kings, they had no place for this ridiculous pretender. As owner Howard put it succinctly, The horse is too small, the jockeys too big, the trainers too old, and Im too dumb to know the difference.
It wasnt that Seabiscuit didnt have good breeding. He was the son of Hardtack, who was sired by Man OWar, another Triple Crown winner. But poor handling had taken a toll and made the horse seemingly intractable. When Howard first bought him, all that was apparent was the fierceness and rage as in the Scripture quotation. The swallowing the ground part would come latermuch laterafter being rehabilitated by a trainer whom some considered a crackpot. But the hardy little horse blossomed under Smiths careful hand. Watch the slow early tempo change; with the clang of the starting bell, Seabiscuit takes off running.
There is hardly a more thrilling moment than when Seabiscuit finally defeats War Admiral decisively at Pimlico in the much-publicized match race. But for a while, it looked like this Cinderella would never get an invitation to dance at the ball. After all, Sam Riddle, War Admirals owner, knew that he had the best horse in the countrya Triple Crown winner, no lessand Seabiscuit didnt even belong in the same league with him. But eventually, enticed by an extravagant purse, Riddle finally gave his consent.
Then, as sometimes happens, a tragic turn of fate almost caused the race to be canceled. When jockey Red Pollard was injured while helping a friend breeze out another horse, it looked like the long-awaited match race could never occur. Pollard then called on his friend, veteran jockey George Wolf, to replace him in the saddle. And thanks to some unconventional night-time training, they were equal to the task.
Jockey Pollard is convincingly and sympathetically played by Tobey Maguire. The bond between man and horse is most evident when, both recovering from injuries, they limp along together with their bandaged legs. The trainer, Smith, as portrayed by Chris Cooper, seems somewhat of a cross between the Horse Whisperer and the late Charlie Whittingham, who achieved two legs of the Triple Crown with Sunday Silence in 1989. Charles Howard, portrayed by Jeff Bridges, exhibits all the struggles of a man trying to hold his family together in tough times. William H. Macy as Sam Riddle is totally pompous and overbearing as War Admirals ownerthe big rich guy who thought he knew it all.
The movie has a few rough edgesoccasional profanity, and blood flows in the prizefighting scenes. But a heartwarming quality shines througha paean to the little guy who made good, sort of an equine Horatio Alger tale. As Charles Howard so aptly puts it, They think we took a broken-down horse and fixed him. But thats not true. He fixed usor maybe we fixed each other.
One thing you can say about this movieit keeps moving! In fact, raw courage comes pounding down the track at you.
Go see this one. Its not just another Cinderella story. Seabiscuit is the real thing. Seabiscuit is now playing at Showplace 16 and is rated PG-13.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Heater Core Peplacement on 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
Just wondering what I could expect to pay for heater core replacement in 2005 Chevy Equinox?
It's about 7.2 hours labor and about $200 for parts, heater core, coolant, etc. At $75/hr that's about $550 labor and would total about $750 total. it involves removing the dash assembly so that's why 7.2 hours. Maybe a shop would cut you a break, this is an expensive job. Where I am, labor is about $110/hr. I think it's cheaper where you are so I chose $75/hr for an example.

Architects in the modern world find themselves in a quandary. For so long the clearly linear path between sketch, drawing and structure could be seen as a sliding scale. How do we deal with our thought process as architects in a world where the illusion of this progression may well have been shattered? What is the position of the sketch in a digital age where rather than going through a process of refinement, the lines and movements may be translated directly into architectural fabric themselves? Is this a process of concurrent translation, the act of flowing notations and interpretations being constantly fed back and forth – as if it were between multi-lingual aides shaping policies through networks of differing dialects at the United Nations?
We have established frameworks, dialects of drawing that we understand to be reference points for communicating architectures through representation. These have, in most cases, existed for many years. Yet the very idea of a sequential process of architectural resolution hanging from these frameworks is being constantly challenged by new innovations and techniques in software.
It is our belief that there are many questions yet to be tackled regarding the delicate interface between new technologies for representing architecture physically, and how these affect our understanding of what the architectural drawing will become as a result. If architects wield power as professional bodies through their implicit understanding of the notations and codifications of architectural drawings, and how these are translated into built matter – how do we assert ourselves when technology allows a process of translation that can reveal all? Do we hide through a new generation of appropriated codifications (programming, processing and suchlike) or do we develop new hybridised drawn methods that take advantage of the interplay between the haptic and the digital.
The haptic suggests direct manipulation of a material upon a substrate in order to generate a result – how do we continue to function as architects who think through drawing that may be composed of digital materials and simulated substrates? Are there clues in the way these new machines translate our movements into choreographies of milling, gluing and solidifying that may give us new tactics for approaching drawing and indeed questioning the materiality of the outputs of these processes. The ubiquity of the off-white 3d print as digital sketch belies the fact that we already have a wide gamut of tools and materials to express our architectural intentions. How can we question this material itself and how we may manipulate it, to emphasis the inherent difference between a digital drawing and a rapid prototype? One may sketch with an ink pen, or one may produce technical drawings with it – how do we capture these new materials in different ways to suit different speeds of thought?
The potential clarity of translation between gesture – software – hardware has a potential immediacy that returns architecture to a (new) sense of craft. The potential lack of clarity within these translations, or the missteps and misshapes that occur might be avenues of investigation regarding this relationship between the haptic and the manufactured. By approaching the idea of architectural representation as an act of assemblage, you will reconcile and deal with the materialities produced by new manufacturing technologies as part of hybridised drawing methods that encompass and interrogate the architect's position in our contemporary society.
The process of digital translation may slide back and forth, and apply progressive distortions onto our idea of what it is to delineate space. We clearly need the development of new conventions of drawing to be able to understand this – to allow the architect to reclaim aspects of their field new technology allows them to reappropriate and manifest ways of drawing this.
We as architects often remain these haptic beasts. We do not want to remove the gestural in favour of codifications and generators, but to understand how the idea of the gesture itself, may have changed in the face of these new ways to translate it. Therefore new composite, assembled methods of architectural drawing must meld both traditional and novel models of understanding architectural fabric. One could carve digitally before carving physically into the printed digital output. Or one could sketch in real space, scan this and turn it into a framework for the production of a digital space. How would one go about producing a drawing revealing the many facets of these processes?
We ask you to investigate these processes of translation, how they intertwine, overlap and intersect, and how you may develop new drawn methodologies to articulate these complex spatial conditions. Through investigation into the interplay of physical and digital assemblage you will develop a new position towards contemporary architectural representation, and the direction in which new technologies of manufacture may or may not take us.

He meets women. He gains their trust. He kills them. That's all London police detective Maeve Kerrigan knows about the man she is hunting. Three women have been strangled in their homes, and it appears to be the work of the same sadistic killer. With no sign of break-ins, every indication shows that the women let their attacker in willingly. The victims' neighbors and friends don't seem to remember anything unusual or suspicious, and Maeve is almost at a loss about how to move forward with the investigation. Then the evidence starts to point to a shocking suspect: DCI Josh Derwent, Maeve's partner on the police force. Maeve refuses to believe he could be involved, but how well does she really know him? Secrets Derwent has long kept locked away are coming back to haunt him, and the more Maeve learns about her partner's past, the more difficult it is to dismiss him as a suspect. After all, this is hardly the first time Derwent's been accused of murder.
Jane Casey returns with her most outstanding novel yet in The Stranger You Know, a taut thriller and an intimate portrayal of complicated, all-too-human characters.
©2013 Jane Casey (P)2014 Audible Inc.
"Casey Is Getting Better and Better"
The beginning of this book is the 20 year old cold case of the first girlfriend of DC Maeve Kerrigan's obnoxious superior,DI Josh Derwent. Maeve is a character I know well from the previous three books, but Josh is given an interesting background. These characters are all wonderfully tough and interesting. I wouldn't want to work with them but I certainly enjoy reading about them.
Two women have been murdered in their apartments. There were similarities between the murders which suggested that one man was involved, a man that they voluntarily allowed into their homes. Maeve becomes involved into the investigation into the murders, trapped between her charismatic, brilliant boss, the surprisingly sympathetic (at times) Dewent and the abrasive female DI, who is Dewent's senior.
I was almost becoming afraid that Audible was not picking up this type of police procedural, so it was with relief that I found myself so wrapped up in listening to this one. It did not keep me up all night, but I did become annoyed when I had to shut my audio off and attend to someone else.
High marks for the narrator as well. All in all an enjoyable package for those who enjoy a bit of grit with their suspense.
"My Favorite Detective Series!!"
I love the plot, the characters and the incredibly clever humor of this novel and the rest of the series!
"Needs better narrator"
Ok storyline but takes too long to get there. Bad narrator. Over the top dramatic when it isn't needed. Couldn't tell between voices who was who.
"Absolutely loving this series!"
As with many good series, the characters are developing into old familiar friends, I will be sad when I have no more left unread! The narrator is fabulous, (I looked her up and in reality she is just as beautiful as she sounds) I intend on looking for other books she has narrated, as she has added a lot to this series!
"Fantastic Mystery, with loads of twists and turns"
Great story with inspired narration made this audiobook a real treat! I very rarely listen to a whole series, book after book....but that's exactly what I wanted to do with this series.
"Great book in a series that has become a favorite!"
The key to enjoying the DC Maeve Kerrigan series is to read them in order. I find it helpful to know where each book belongs in a series so here goes: The Stranger You Know is the 4th in series. 1. The Burning; 2. The Reckoning; 3.The Last Girl; 4. The Stranger You Know; 5. The Kill; 6. After the Fire (not yet available on Audible). There is a short "novella" meant as a prequel that can be read at any time in my opinion- I read it after The Burning. The characters have grown on me! The narrator becomes less annoying each time, I promise.
The plot was interesting, as always in the series. Entertaining and addictive, there are subplots woven throughout that carry on through the books, and I am hooked on finding out how the relationships evolve and how Maeve grows and changes. Derwent is a kick- love/hate between Maeve and Derwent is funny to me.
Yes- Coomes' narration evens out by this book. Other reviewers have pointed out that she can be ridiculous in overdoing voices, and they are right. I started reading Stranger before having read the first 3. I put it down midway because the narration grated on me like crazy. I took a deep breath and decided to go back to the beginning. Come to find out, Coomes is more dramatic in the first novel. I notice though that she calms down after the first 1/3rd of each novel; and she is better and more measured and less bizarre as the books go on. Please don't give up on the series because of the narrator- you don't want to miss this series especially if you're a big fan of the genre! You get used to her such that you can't imagine anyone else narrating the series!
Loved it and will definitely read each Jane Casey novel as they come out. I highly recommend The Stranger You Know, but I also urge listeners to try starting from book 1- it totally enriches this story.
I just don't think Derwent is that bad. I think Maeve and Derwent actually have the hots for one another and that is what makes it so hard for Maeve. This book tells what formed Josh Derwent. I think he's fantastic and the play between Maeve and Derwent makes the murder investigations in these books even better.
I loved this book. The narration was great and the story was the best! Definitely worth the credit!
"Narration alone caused lousy review"
Unfortunately, I could not give true reviews for "overall" or "story" here, because the narration is so vile that I couldn't get through the first chapter so I have no way of knowing where the story went or how. I can't even remember what I did hear, because I was open-mouthed at the over-the-top parody of bad over-acting that was the narrator's delivery.
"Great series"
Love this detective series.... Great down to earth detective work with some surprising twists. Maeve's getting a bit too predictable though with the situations she finds herself in.

Moto's Jazz Club
- Daisuke Moto: Japanese, mid-20s, very well-dressed and spoken. Known to speaks 8 languages. Is constantly seen around the club and to be visited by him at your table is a big deal in society. He does not, however, shirk responsibility. He's been known to get down and dirty in the kitchen when needed, mix a cocktail, work the hat/coat check area, mend costumes, as well as sit in with the band.
- Cap Uzumaki: Band leader. Older Japanese gentleman. Always smiling. Wears a Captain's hat at all times.
- Sakura "Saki" (only to Moto, Einar, and close friends) Haruno: Hostess. Very pretty and fashionable. Always wears the most in-style American clothing. Speaks 14 languages. Tends to greet guests in native language. Moto depends on her to let him know if any potential problem customers enter the club.
- Mickey Uchiha: Lead bartender. Very much wants to be considered an American. Very influenced by film toughs. Speaks English only. Greased back hair, very hep, and has a short-fuse.
- Akahana "Big Mama" Fukumatsu: Director and Den Mother of Moto's Global Girls Revue. She's very large and takes nothing from no one. Absolutely adores each and every one of her girls but does not hesitate to put the smack down if they get out of line. Has an attitude – think Della Reese in Harlem Nights – but is truly a big softie.

- Jiro Ono: Head chef at Moto's. Very old yet very spry. Employs a well-rounded crew who can cook practically any cuisine. Wears a very tall chef's hat. Only speaks Japanese. Extremely fond of smoking, and it's a constant struggle for Moto to keep him from smoking in the kitchen.
- Ken and Jen Takakura: Twin bouncers at Moto's. One is always upfront while the other is always in the back with the gambling. Physically imposing, smiling, and deferential to clientele unless someone acts out. People rarely act out more than once as the Takakura brothers are quite good at violence.

Unanswered: Select in Table with two IDs
Can those who have the know-how help me with this problem?
So it's a table with Id and Previous_Id (don't know why, it's just the way the developers have made it..)
Now, I need a Select that starts from Id, checks for possible Previous_Id and jumps to that Id which has no Previous_Id (Null).
I mean, if Id has Previous_Id (i.e. it's not Null), then the Previous_Id is read as the main Id and then again you look to find out if there's any Previous_Id facing it - if yes, you do the same until you get to Null. It's that last Id which I need along with the first Id where it all started.
But how can this be done with Select?

I'd create a PL/SQL function which grabs the most recent ID, where you pass in the root ID. So your main SQL would grab anything where PREVIOUS_ID is null, and pass the main ID into this procedure. Basically, go in the reverse order from what you described.
Let PL/SQL walk up the chain... or... you might be able to slim down the code within that function, using CONNECT BY and LEVEL in your embedded SQL ...

Oracle doesn't have recursive CTE's (yet).
Since you want to do this in SQL, I'd follow Chuck's CONNECT BY suggestion.
SELECT id, level FROM whatever START WITH id = 99 CONNECT BY PRIOR id = Previous_Id

This is the conversation I had with my ten-year-old daughter, Ewa, recently while we were sitting in the car waiting to pick up my wife from work.
Ewa: We talked about fairness at school today.
Me: Aha; and how did it go?
Ewa: This is the story that the teacher told us. Imagine there are three people wanting to watch the fireworks. There is a fence in front of the three people. One of these three people is tall, so he can see over the fence. The second person is of medium height, and he can see over the fence only if he stands on something, like a wooden box. The third person is short, and he can see the fireworks only if he stands on something tall, like two wooden boxes. Now, let's suppose the tall person has three wooden boxes and the other two have none. It would be fair if the tall person gave one box to the medium height person and two boxes to the short person so that all three can see the fireworks.
Me: Ok, and how would they persuade the tall person to give them the boxes?
Ewa: I don't know; they would tell him that they need them because they want to see the fireworks.
Me: What if the tall person is not persuaded and he still wants to keep the boxes, would that be unfair?
Ewa: Well, I don't know.
Me: Ok, do you think it would be fair if the short person and the medium height person tried to take the boxes against the will of the tall person? For example, they beat him up and take the boxes.
Ewa: No, then the government would tell them not to fight over boxes that are on its land.
Me: So, the land on which the event takes place is owned by the government and the boxes are owned by the government?
Ewa: Yes, the land is owned by the government, but the boxes are just some random boxes lying around.
Me: Are you sure you don't know anything more about the boxes; who put then there, who made them etc.?
Ewa: I don't know. The teacher didn't say anything about that, and I just assumed they are some random boxes that no one wants.
Me: Well, the three people in our story all seem to really want them.
Ewa: Look, this is what the teacher told us: It is fair that everyone gets what they need, but they have to make it happen themselves.
Me: Ok, now I know a little bit more about the situation. Would then threatening the tall person that the two other persons would beat him up if he doesn't give up the boxes count as "making it happen themselves"?
Ewa: Well, no. The government wouldn't let them fight.
Me: Could then the two shorter persons go to the government and ask that it take the boxes away from the tall person and that it gives the boxes to them.
Ewa: They can go, but the government doesn't do that.
Me: Sure it does. Remember when the teachers were striking and carrying those banners around. They wanted the government to make laws that give them higher wages and better working conditions. So, in their case, higher wages and better working conditions are like those three boxes for the two shorter persons.
Ewa: Well, I don't know; maybe the government could ask the tall person to give the boxes to the other two.
Me: Suppose the tall person still refuses to give up the boxes. Could the government come, take the boxes, and, after that, beat up the tall person to punish him for being unfair.
Ewa: Well, I guess since it is all happening on government land, the government could take the boxes, but it shouldn't beat up the tall person.
Me: Why not? The government can write a law that requires the tall person to be punished for being unfair and not giving up the boxes.
Ewa: The government wouldn't write laws like that.
Me: Why not? It has in the past. For example, there was a law in Canada that would make me a criminal if I wanted to buy a bottle of wine. I would go to jail.
Ewa: Really? Then the government doesn't always do what's right.
Me: Hmm, interesting thoughts.
By this time, my son, who is three, was getting pretty frustrated by this conversation, so he overtook it by reciting the ABC song as loud as he could. This was probably the ideal moment to leave the conversation where it is and let the ideas simmer in the child's mind.
My hope is that, through this conversation, Ewa learned that the concept of fairness is not as straightforward as initially presented. There are several important and complex concepts that I lead her to grapple with in order to start searching for her own definition of fairness. We dealt with the concepts of property, case history, lobbying and political activism. Finally, we discussed the justness of government actions and laws. For this purpose, I used the learning method that I called--discovery through inquiry.
Discovery through inquiry is important in developing critical thinking skills, which are crucial whenever we deal with moral concepts like fairness or justice. As I show here, many social conflicts arise as a consequence of different understandings of the concept of justice. Letting our children realize that it is not easy to figure out what is just and what is not might help them be more patient when they meet someone with different moral beliefs as adults.


text: Suffering from fashion week stress? Betsey Johnson has the cure. Her invitations came in the form of pill bottles filled with mints, the show notes in the guise of a doctor's chart. As for the clothes, they were a big dose of happiness with flared skirts, ladylike dresses and fitted cotton jumpsuits, much of them done in Liberty-inspired micro-florals and leopard patterns. Frilled minidresses and voluminous multilayered organza and mesh ball gowns added to the fun — as did the big neon pink wigs worn by all the models.

The concept of shared responsibility is the more fascist manifestation of John Donne's postulation that no man is an island. Almost every action any human takes, from getting into one's car and risking a collision, to the food one purchases at the end of a car ride to HyVee or Dahl's, to the food one individually consumes at the end of the perilous car ride, effects change on human behavior and affects the lives of countless known and unknown people.
Democrats use the reality of human interaction and effect as the fundamental justification for their ongoing war on the traditional values and institutions that created American prosperity and success. Since a fundamental reordering of human species is necessary to provide people to trade down, the Democrats seek ever larger intrusions into private behavior and far broader definitions of public behavior through which to control thought and expression.
Of course, the exception of casinos from the smoking ban also shows the Soviet style of official hypocricy that inheres in the total state that the Democrats and liberals promise will solve the problems of mankind, even the weather. This inevitable totalitarianism is, however, always camouflaged behind the veil of "shared responsibility".
The bar owners get it. Jason Clayworth's article in this morning's Register capably illustrates the sense of outrage that the next step into the total state caused Iowa's bar and restaurant owners. Unfortunately complaints and demonstrations don't create the political change that the bar and restaurant owners need but political action will.
Hopefully every one of those bar and restaurant owners will get a yard sign for their local Republican legislative candidate in their yard and business. If they want change, work for and donate to the Polk County Republican Party so that we can build the infrastructure that can win elections and fire the nanny.
Promote freedom, vote Republican.

A number of ICT provisions of the Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) are made available to EUR students for the duration of their studies. When they first register, all students are given the so-called ERNA access code (user name/password combination) so they can use these provisions. This ERNA code provides students with access to the EURnet, among other things (the Erasmus University network) and the Internet via:
- The "permanent" wireless and plug-in student worksites in building G
- The "permanent" student worksites (PC rooms) at faculties and the University library
- The plug-in and the wireless of WI-FI network of the EUR (EUR-HotspOts)
Furthermore, the student has available an ERNA account with a 24EUR7 mailbox, calendar and networkstorage on the bases of the ERNA code mentioned above. This provision enables students to communicate via electronic mail (email).
All students are assigned authentication data when they first register at the EUR, after identifying themselves. These involve data that give the student access to a multitude of internet and intranet services and benefits, which consist, among other things, of the previously mentioned 24EUR7 account and the ERNA dial-in provision, the online election system (university council and faculty councils, among other things), library information services etc. Please visit our portal http://myeur.nl/
You will find the following data on the note accompanying your student ID:
- Email address:
The address under which you can be reached by electronic mail.
- ERNA user name:
The name under which you will be known at the EURnet and the services and benefits available on it, including the wireless network, the central dial-in provision, the Faculty and University library PC rooms, digital learning environment, UB databanks, etc.
With this user name you can also log in to 24EUR7
- ERNA password:
The initial password that must be used in combination with the user names mentioned above. You are urgently requested to change this initial password when you first use it! (for this the facility click here)
The ERNA user name/password combination gives you access to a multitude of services and benefits. The information that you can consult and process (modify) via these services often has a privacy-sensitive nature, confidential and personal. We emphasise in this context that strict confidentiality of your ERNA password is necessary (see also the regulations for theUse policy for computer and network facilities). Therefore, do NOT 'loan out' your ERNA username / password.
24EUR7 can be accessed via the internet. On the campus services on the EURnet and on the Internet are accessible via the "permanent" worksites in the PC rooms of the faculties and the University library, via the wireless network or EUR-HotspOts and via the ERNA dial-in provision from the worksite at home.
For access to the EUR-HotspOts students must provide their own laptop computer.
The use of computer and network provisions of the EUR and the ERNA facilities is subject to the rules for the use of computer and network provisions of the Erasmus University Rotterdam. A copy of these regulations is available for inspection at all counters of the faculty support points. The integral text of these regulations is available in electronic form.
Support the facilities of electronic communication during the studies and in education, the EUR makes an online directory available on the Intranet. This directory lists the name, title, phone and fax numbers, department name, room number and email address, among other things, of EUR personnel members. Considering the importance of the use of email within the EUR in the framework of study and education, the EUR attaches great value to the fact that also a limited number of student data are included in the directory service. Name, title, email address and major field of study are listed for students. Considering the legal regulations, students must give explicit permission to have their data listed in the EUR Directory Service. You are presented the option to indicate this via the registration form.

Autophagy is a dynamic recycling process responsible for the breakdown of misfolded proteins and damaged organelles, providing nutrients and energy for cellular renovation and homeostasis. Loss of autophagy is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Caveolin-3 (Cav-3), a muscle-specific isoform, is a structural protein within caveolae and is critical to stress adaptation in the heart. Whether Cav-3 plays a role in regulating autophagy to modulate cardiac stress responses remains unknown. In the present study, we used HL-1 cells, a cardiac muscle cell line, with stable Cav-3 knockdown (Cav-3 KD) and Cav-3 over-expression (Cav-3 OE) to study the impact of Cav-3 in regulation of autophagy. We show that traditional stimulators of autophagy (i.e., rapamycin and starvation) result in upregulation of the process in Cav-3 OE cells while Cav-3 KD cells have a blunted response. Cav-3 co-immunoprecipitated with beclin-1 and Atg12, showing an interaction of caveolin with autophagy related proteins. In the heart, autophagy may be a major regulator of protection from ischemic stress. We found that Cav-3 KD cells have a decreased expression of autophagy markers (beclin-1, light chain (LC3-II) after simulated ischemia and I/R when compared to WT whereas OE cells showed increased expression. Moreover, Cav-3 KD cells showed increased cell death and higher level of apoptotic proteins (cleaved caspase-3 and cytochrome c) with suppressed mitochondrial function in response to simulated ischemia and I/R whereas Cav-3 OE cells were protected and had preserved mitochondrial function. Taken together, these results indicate that autophagy regulates adaptation to cardiac stress in a Cav-3 dependent manner.
