A wide and diverse range of products and services are offered every day on classified boards. But superficially many of them are similar or difference is not clear to a visitor. How to make your particular ad stand out against other offers on an ad board?
High-quality photos and videos would undoubtedly attract viewer's attention to an ad. It has already become a new normal to promote products by adding visual information that makes the offer intuitively clear and informative to a potential customer. But how does the ad display may affect viewers in a lot more ways and promote your ad?
Of course it always helpful to put an intriguing headline or offer price discounts. Such methods are effective way to draw the attention of a potential buyer. But that's not all! On GVANGA you can make your ad look special by conveying positive emotions to viewers and creative announcing an action or a substantial discount. How?!
Attach our Sticker to your Ad!
Stickers highlight an ad and make it more appealing. The ad with a Sticker has a greater chance to be working better because:
• It looks brighter,
• Catches the eye,
• Creates a nice mood,
• Becomes conspicuous.
There's a higher chance that ad with a sticker would be more frequently viewed.
Viewers would even click it out of curiosity, to see what's inside, even if he is looking for another kind of product or service. But attracting the interest of clients is not the ultimate goal. Sale is the target! The original advertising would significantly increase the number of replies and hence add chances to get the sale. Do not skimp on the words, make an interesting description of your product or service and add an informative headline, upload vivid photos and video and thus the potential buyer can believe he needed your product!

Riz has taken his song, ping me baby to iTunes and is looking for the BlackBerry community to support his efforts in making the song dedicated to BlackBerry smartphones a top seller in iTunes. I'm sure you can see where this is going. What do you say CrackBerry nation, wanna help out and make a BlackBerry song a top seller in iTunes? Show the iPhone fanbois that the BlackBerry community is strong on their own turf? It would be rather hilarious to see happen, lets do it! Oh, be sure to share it on Ping as well. ;)

Apparently you two have no sense in music. If anything you are the ones that are lame. If you dont like music then shut your mouth. Its that easy. Music is my Job. This is pretty damn good. End of story
Apparently you need a new job buddy...
If music is your job you should know this is absolute GARBAGE! its completely auto-tuned and the lyrics are lame. Not to mention the stolen beat.
Oh and you telling me to shut my mouth is the same thing as you having good taste in music.... NOT GONNA HAPPEN!
I own about 7 apple products but stopped using them after I could not longer stomach God Jobs and the rest of the smugness at apple.
Not sure what BB you use but I find with my 9800 Slacker and/or thumbplay have allowe me to ditch my ipod touch with no difficulty at all. If you are a game player you may still want the touch, but put a little money aside for the playbook, soon all of us can be totally apple free!
If you're not a big fan of Apple which I'm guessing is most of us, then you can easily get it here DRM free and in a much higher bitrate:
I can see someone out there taking the idea of this & singing about Apple. Probably about the app store.. Was still a good song. Thumbs up :)
This song is terrible. I seriously thought this was a joke until I realized that it was actually being sold. I think it would suit the real BlackBerry enthusiasts well to abandon this garbage. BlackBerrys are innovative and stylish; this song certainly is not either one.
What are you thinking Bla1ze? What kind of message do you think the BlackBerry community will send to "iPhone fanbois" by dumping money into Apple?
Don't look now.
I saw you dancing on that speaker box, girl what's your name?
I see you texting on that bbm, can we exchange?
Really a horrible song, but it's about BBM, so I'm assuming it wasn't taken serious. Just done to say they did it, perhaps. Either way, I watched it to see if I caught typo's and I did. lol dork wins
Sure its corny, but its about BBM. Why would anyone expect it to be good. Shoot I think its better than Maceo's Nextel Chirp song. LOL. How funny lighten up guys. And I Hate Itunes and Ipods and their idiotic syncing methods. So I refuse to buy. I probably listen one more time and then I'll be good...
You people should be ashamed of yourselves. I'm sure Riz made this song for the Blackberry Community. He didn't make this song to compete with your top 100 billboard artist. I think this song is awesome and i listen to hardcore rap. I have an open ear for music and for people views and opinions. People nowadays SUCK!!

Siliguri, Feb 22 (UNI) Gorkha National Liberation Front chief Subash Ghisingh today left Pintail village guest house here and was likely to go to Kolkata or New Delhi.
''Mr Subash Ghisingh has left the guest house and arrived at the Bagdogra airport,'' North Bengal IGP R J S Nalwa confirmed.
''He is most likely to go to Kolkata and from there he may take a flight to New Delhi,'' Mr Nalwa said, without divulging details saying that the movement of Mr Ghisingh had been kept a secret for security reasons.
The Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council Chairman, who led the movement in thee hills for last 21 years, had been kept confined in Pintail village since the last five days as he was denied entry into Darjeeling following protests by the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) activists against the Sixth Schedule status for the hills instead of statehood.
Meanwhile, the indefinite general strike called by the GJM members at Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Kurseong entered the third day today.
At least eleven GJM activists, including its Sukna president Bishal Chetri, went on a hunger strike near the guest house yesterday and another 47 were arrested but later released on bail.
The arrested GJM supporters, including its Central Committee member Bimal Dorjee, had descended the plains here to continue with their indefinite hunger strike.
North Bengal DIG D T Lepcha said the activists continued to protest, defying the imposition of Section 144 CrPC, which was lifted this morning.
No untoward incidents were reported, he added saying that the demonstration was peaceful.
The Hills district was in a turmoil after Mr Ghisingh struck a deal with the Centre by which the hills would be given a Sixth Schedule status instead of statehood.

Unanswered: How to check stored procedure?
Hello, everyone:
I have some stored procedures that run on SQL2K(SP3) /WIN2K. Sometimes I modify them using ALTER PROCEDURE statements. How to check if they are changed after ALTER statements run? Thanks.

You can compare the binarychecksum value of the procedure before and after your ALTER statement.
Please give some more details about what you are doing and why.If it's not practically useful, then it's practically useless.

If you execute the code snippet that I posted earlier, it will show you the source code of the stored procedure as the server "sees" it. You can just read the procedure's source code to verify that it does what you think it should.

Avions Pierre Robin CEA DR300/180R, G-BLGH, 18 September 2013

Avions Pierre Robin CEA DR300/180R, G-BLGH
The pilot was landing on Runway 24 at Wycombe Air Park after a local flight; the wind was from the north at 6–8 kt. The aircraft touched down on its main landing gear and the pilot slowly lowered the nose. As the nosewheel made contact with the runway, however, he experienced violent nosewheel shimmy. He applied a burst of power and applied back pressure on the control column to decrease the load on the nosewheel, which arrested the shimmy. He noticed no further abnormalities until he had taxied back to the hangar.
After disembarking the pilot noticed a longitudinal crack in the lower right side of the fuselage, running from the engine firewall to the wing front spar. He concluded that the crack was most probably a result of the shimmy, since his landing had been normal on the main gear and fully 'held off'. He considered it possible that, with this tug aircraft being flown by various pilots, damage may have been caused by a previous, and unreported, hard landing.

Form an orderly queue...
Cars long ago ceased to be simply a means of getting from A to B. The new Audi Q2, for instance, is 'the latest tool for modern living,' according to its maker.
If that sounds about as emotionally involving as a plate of cold bratwurst, consider that this smallest SUV in the Audi range is also 'an essential life prop.'
Peer through those lifestyle utterings and you'll find a car that deserves better than phrases that mean an empty nothing; it's a good drive and will sell in shedloads.
In fact, Audi reckons it will become the fourth best seller in its UK line up, with around 15,000 of them finding homes here each year (FYO; the A3 is top of the sales chart with double that number), but don't bet on Q2 numbers climbing.
Worldwide, around half of all new Audis are now SUVs, headed by the huge and faintly menacing bulk of the Q7, with the Q5 and Q3 following in descending size order.
Now the Q2 doorstops the Audi SUVs with a car that manages to look chunky and tough without the visual thuggery of its older siblings.
It also starts at the moment with £22,380 for a 1.4 litre petrol version, which looks positively bargain basement in Audi terms.
And, before year end, there'll be an even cheaper 1.0 litre petrol model that will cost just £20,230 in entry level SE trim.
The current Q2 engine choice is between the 150 horsepower 1.4 TFSI or a 116 horsepower 1.6 litre TDI diesel with the latter a scant £100 dearer in all the three trim levels on offer– SE, Sport and S line.
Only 15 per cent of Q2 owners are likely to take their car at SE level, with most heading for the £1,550 dearer Sport models that add satellite navigation, cruise control, bigger alloy wheels, sports front seats, auto lights and wipers, a choice of four driving modes (which will stiffen the suspension, for instance) and modest bodywork changes to tell the cars apart.
Pay another £2,250 and you arrive at the S line, expected to woo a significant 40 per cent of sales with changes that include powerful LED headlights and rear lights but are mostly cosmetic and add a bit of the visual aggression of bigger Audi SUVs, from enlarged front air intakes to sculpted side sills.
If that's not enough, there is the Q2 Edition #1, starting at £31,170 and topping out at £35,730 for a 2.0 litre diesel with quattro four-wheel drive. Stand out features are special Quantum grey paint, black alloy wheels and other black body parts adding a touch of menace.
Inside, you'll find sports seats in soft nappa leather and an LED package that includes dash and door inlays that light up softly.
Every Q2 has what Audi calls a C-pillar blade but you might know as the bit behind the rear doors. It comes here in four different, contrasting colours (grey, silver, titanium ot grey) depending on the grade of the car.
Standard kit across the range includes low speed automatic braking if you're not paying attention and extra cash brings an instrument panel with TV screen definition, head-up display and adaptive cruise control that will take most of the drudgery out of slow speed driving by stopping and starting the car in line with the traffic ahead.
Audi sees the MINI Countryman as a key competitor and a comparison shows how relatively small the Q2 is, at 4191mm nose to tail only 94mm (or less than four inches) longer and a little lower and lighter and larger of boot into the bargain. It doesn't look that small, and drives like a larger car too. If Audi was once knocked soundly for building cars with suspension too stiff for British roads (it was and it did) that no longer applies with the Q2.
Tellingly, the Q2 in its most overtly 'sporty' S line guise comes with non-sport springing but can be stiffened at no extra cost. The test car had been, yet drove some indifferent Suffolk roads with controlled aplomb.
The 1.4 TFSI petrol engine, matched to a fine 7-speed automatic gearbox (£1,550 extra) punted the car along very nicely indeed and showed 42.2mpg at journey's end.
A 1.6 diesel tried in most softly sprung SE trim actually coped markedly less well with poor roads, feeling stiff and unyielding at times. It also made more engine noise but pulled strongly and topped 55mpg on the same route.
Either engine sits nicely in a car that has hit the madly expanding desire for SUVs at precisely the right time, and at prices that are going to raise eyebrows – for the right reason.

The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) closed down the commercial market squid fishery on November 21, putting a halt to the culling of calamari from the state's seas. DFG estimated that the season's harvest limit, set at 118,000 short tons of squid, had been reached and ended commercial fishing to give the state's most lucrative sea creatures — valued at over $69 million last season — some time to replenish their numbers.

Ahmedabad, Apr 2 (UNI) The Indians, with only one day to go before the second Test against South Africa at the Sardar Patel stadium, Motera, here, are still in the dark about whether their captain Anil Kumble will be able to recover from his groin strain in time for the match.
Experienced leg-spinner Kumble, the third highest wicket-taker in Test cricket, suffered a groin strain in the drawn first Test last week and did not take the field in the final two sessions.
''We just have to wait. We'll take a final call tomorrow morning,'' Kumble told a news conference when quizzed about his fitness here today.
India will definitely be without talismanic batsman Sachin Tendulkar because of a groin injury, while left-arm seamer Rudra Pratap Singh went wicket-less and looked way below his best on his return from injury.
The other injury problem plaguing India is that of pace prospect Ishant Sharma. The tall and lanky Delhi pacer, who impressed during the Australia tour, has been rendered ineffective following a foot injury and though he had a long stint in the nets it still remains to be seen whether he will recover in time for the second Test.
Meanwhile, Kumble told reporters that V V S Laxman will be pushed up the order and is likely to bat at number 4 from his usual position of number six to be able to counter the South African pace attack in the absence of Tendulkar.
''He will certainly come up the order,'' Kumble said.
Answering a query on Sehwag likely to receive chin music on the Motera track which has some grass on it as South African coach Micky Arthur said yesterday, Kumble said ''I think he's (Sehwag) a good enough batsman to handle that. He scored 319 in the last innings and is capable of handling whatever comes his way.'' A decision on the Indian starting line-up had been delayed due to the injury concerns, Kumble said.
He however said that inspite all the injury problems they have enough potential and quality to do the job. ''We have worked out some plans to ensure that we put pressure on the South Africans and get the right result.'' UNI GS AB DS1647

I am guilty of being a Bob's Red Mill addict. I love all their products. While the price tag is a bit higher, I feel the quality and taste can't be beat. I make these oats on the weekends to have a healthy breakfast and stick to my eat clean ways. They are quick to prepare. The calorie point is slightly higher compared to Quaker but they are chewier and yummier!
I looooove these oats! The last time I cooked some, I booked them up then added some brown sugar, cocoa powder, and a spoonful of peanut butter! Soooooo good!
They're fairly fast to cook, too! I boiled them in 10 minutes and they were perfect.

These are so yummy! I love the texture and they aren't too expensive! You get a lot and my kid loves them!
It's amazing. Very tasty an everyone should try it. Not a rip off and it's delicious and healthy
I love Bob's Red Mill for so many reasons. Such good people behind this brand. Such great products. This bag of oats is not only high quality, but it's also great value. It's perfect size for someone like me who eats oatmeal 5-6 times a week. Top with peanut butter n you're good to go.
Loved these oats!! They were great in cookies and overnight oats? However the oats were a little larger than the Quaker Oats I am used to. These had a good taste and went will have in overnight oats, oatmeal bakes, and oatmeal cookies but I am not completely sold so I go back and forth between this and Quaker.
I LOVE these oats. I've often used another brand, but as I'm not within relative driving distance, I decided to order a multi-pack of these on Amazon.
I use them for my refrigerator oats. They're hearty and keep me full on my commute to work. They're also great for cookies and other baked goods.

Very good brand! Is a little more pricey than others but is has great flavor and is good quality. I use it on my cereal and also to mix with yogurt. I get mine either at Walmart or publix.
If you have to pick one oatmeal to bring to the table, THIS is the brand you'd go for. Bob's has great flavor, texture, & it's not only filling, it's so GOOD FOR YOU!! I've always enjoyed this particular brand. Before Bob's I ran thru the gamut of brands once I found Bob's, I knew I had found the best there was. You cannot go wrong with this brand, I promise you! I would buy Bob's again & again, as well as recommending it to any&every one I know. You cannot go wrong with Bob's. Try it, you'll LOVE it. Thank me later. :)
I love Bobs Red Mill products! These rolled oats are great for breakfast or used in baked goods. Try mixing a warm peanut butter and honey mix with rolled oats in a pan to cool. Cut into bars. We prefer them cold so good!
Since the package says these are "extra thick", can these rolled oats replace regular rolled oats in recipes?
Is there any nutritional difference between rolled oats and steel cut oats?
Are these naturally gluten-free?
Has anybody made lactation cookies with these before

Of course Mick Jones is the only original member remaining and he's never met a power chord he didn't love but his leads were spot on fantastic. In fact this was one of the best mixed sound shows I think I've ever heard.
It was also nice to hear former lead singer Lou Gramm's name mentioned as Mick's co-writing partner before several songs.
Jason Bonham Experience and Cheap Trick were the openers and both had their moments although Trick seemed to wanna push songs from their new CD, leaving some of the great older stuff out of the set.
Great music on a beautiful night. Catch it if ya can.

Yeah,third time seeing CT for me and not near as good as the other times. Possibly the song selection. I'm not sure. They sounded fine, although Zander's voice doesn't have the range it once did. Was hoping to hear some of the real early stuff before Budakon.
Still a great rockin night!

They were really good and that singer did a great job with the Lou Graham stuff, but I think Mick was going through some health stuff at the time. He didn't even come out on stage until about 3 or 4 songs into the set and looked kinda worn down the whole time. He still played well though.

That brings up a question: If Mick Jones is the only original member and he quits or dies, can the band continue on using the name Foreigner? I guess it's a legality thing as to whether or not they can. But SHOULD they? 50 years from now, should grandchildren or second cousins of the original group, or the group as it is now continue using the name, playing the same songs, etc? Not just them but any band. Can or should the Allman Brothers band continue? There seems to be a trend of one original member continuing the band without the others. When that person is gone, is the band gone? I guess that's a whole different conversation as my mind wanders and derails everything.
Back to the original post: I saw them live back in or around 84 or 85 and they were good then. I got the Double Vision album when I got my first electric guitar for Christmas one year. Blue Morning, Blue Day is still one of my favorite songs. Saw them on Axxess TV recently in concert and they sounded great. Jeff Pilson, formerly of Dokken was playing bass.

State labor leaders reacted cautiously yesterday to news that two of the AFL-CIO's largest member unions had defected and two more planned...
State labor leaders reacted cautiously yesterday to news that two of the AFL-CIO's largest member unions had defected and two more planned to follow, causing the powerful federation to lose about a third of its membership.
The shake-up will surely be felt in Washington, the sixth most-unionized state in the country.
"It'll affect us," said Leonard Smith, organizing director for Teamsters Local 117 in Seattle. "We're just all waiting to see how it's going to affect us."
The Teamsters and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) announced outside the AFL-CIO's convention in Chicago yesterday that they had split from the labor federation in a disagreement over strategy.

The United Food and Commercial Workers and UNITE HERE, representing textile and hotel workers, also voiced plans to bolt.
Combined, those unions account for about a third of the membership of the Washington State Labor Council, the AFL-CIO's local lobbying and advocacy group representing about 430,000 workers.
"We're going to look at where we go from here," said council spokeswoman Karen Keiser. "We can't make any true decisions until the national convention is done."
Keiser said she didn't know how much of the council's $5 million budget came from AFL-CIO contributions.
At the King County Labor Council, which represents about 150,000 workers, Executive Secretary Steve Williamson said the feuding on the national level hasn't trickled down to the Seattle affiliate.
"People are related by struggle," he said. "That kind of solitary is hard to break."
The state's labor movement has recently chalked up some major victories, including election of pro-labor Democrat Christine Gregoire as governor and legislative approval of first-ever collective-bargaining agreements for state workers.
Nearly 20 percent of workers in Washington belong to labor unions.
The state gained about 8,000 new union members last year, and the tally is expected to grow this year because of the new collective-bargaining rights for state government employees.
Sticking with the AFL-CIO are the influential Washington Federation of State Employees, with about 34,000 members; the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, with about 15,000 state members; and the International Association of Professional and Technical Engineers, which represents some Boeing workers and has 12,000 members in the state.
David Rolf, president of SEIU's Local 775, said the national labor movement needed a shake-up because it has relied on old tactics from an old economy that are no longer relevant.
"If you're told that a company had the same product line and corporate structure in 2005 as it had in 1955, you could probably conclude that the company is failing," Rolf said.
The AFL-CIO had come under frequent criticism that it was spending too much on politicking and not enough on organizing.
Rolf, who led a successful campaign to organize the state's home-care workers, thinks the defections from the AFL-CIO and the formation of a rival, seven-union organization called Change to Win Coalition signal a shift in union priorities — from building union power to empowering union members.
"We can see this as the moment when the ship turned around," he said.

U.S. Hits Record Number of Homeless Students
Madeline Daniels (Former Staff)Education
Madeline Daniels
(202) 657-0664 (office)
Washington – Public schools reported a record number of homeless children and youth, over 1.1 million, according to data released by the U.S. Department of Education.
The 1,168,354 homeless students enrolled by U.S. preschools and K-12 schools in the 2011-2012 school year is the highest number on record, and a 10 percent increase over the previous school year. The number of homeless children in public schools has increased 72 percent since the beginning of the recession.
Under federal law, school districts are required to immediately enroll homeless children and youth. The law also requires that, when in their best interest, schools ensure that homeless students stay in the same school when forced to move. Every school district must also designate a homeless student liaison to provide assistance and referrals. Without a safe place to call home, children and youth can't focus in school and struggle to excel. Resources such as runaway and homeless youth programs also assist homeless youth in completing high school and help them enter college.
The U.S. Department of Education statistics underestimate the number of homeless children in the United States. The data not include homeless infants and toddlers, young children who are not enrolled in public preschool programs, and homeless children and youth who were not identified by school officials.
43 states reported school year-to-year increases in the number of homeless students, with 10 states reporting increases of 20 percent or more. States with the largest increases in the numbers of homeless students were Maine (58 percent), Michigan (42 percent), North Carolina (53 percent), North Dakota (212 percent), South Dakota (35 percent), Vermont (31 percent), and Wyoming (40 percent). The four states with the largest numbers of homeless students were California, New York, Texas, and Florida.
Not all of the children included in the data are recognized as "homeless" by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As a result, some homeless children are eligible for educational assistance through local schools, but not help from HUD.
The data release comes just weeks after new Census data revealed 16.1 million children, or 21.8 percent, live in poverty in the United States.
The Census data also showed that federal investments in children, which some in Congress have proposed to cut in budget debates, have helped keep kids out of poverty and at a much lower risk for homelessness.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program reduced childhood poverty in 2012 by 1.67 million kids.
Investments in children's health coverage such as Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program are responsible for reducing the number of uninsured kids to 6.6 million.
In response to the data, leading advocates for homeless children released the following statements:
"Headlines are filled with indicators that the economy is improving, but the record numbers of homeless students show that children and their families are still feeling the effects of a tough economy," said Bruce Lesley, president of First Focus, a bipartisan children's advocacy organization. "We can protect our homeless children by protecting investments in their housing, education, nutrition, and health in upcoming federal budget debates."
"In light of this alarming increase in the number of homeless children and youth in our public schools, we call on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to re-prioritize efforts to end family homelessness, and in doing so to break down the definitional barriers that all too often prevent homeless children, youth, and families from receiving housing assistance," said Jeremy Rosen, Policy Director of the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty. "We also call on Congress to provide a significant funding increase for the U.S. Department of Education's Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program, so that our public schools can ensure that homeless students are immediately enrolled, and promptly provided with transportation and other services as required under the McKinney-Vento Act."
"Children and youth who are homeless struggle with hunger, trauma, and illness; they move frequently and fall behind in school," said Barbara Duffield, Policy Director of the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth. "Yet education is the surest path out of poverty. If we wish to prevent another generation of children from becoming homeless adults, we must meet their basic needs and ensure a stable, supportive school environment."
"These numbers are devastating, but sadly, entirely predictable," said Ruth White, Executive Director, National Center for Housing and Child Welfare. "This report simply provides more evidence that the federal government has abandoned its commitment to fill yawning gaps in affordable housing options for low income families. The consequences reach far beyond housing, beyond education, and into the job market. This alarming trend could be easily reversed by prudent investments in federal housing policy that help families make ends meet."
"Children and youth who are homeless suffer and this data confirms what the homeless youth field has been seeing on the ground, the number of homeless youth and families in need of housing and services has been increasing as local and state supports have decreased," said Darla Bardine, Policy Director of the National Network for Youth. "Congress needs to act with urgency in scaling up the housing, care and support these children and youth need to succeed."
The data released by the U.S. Department of Education are available on the website of the National Center for Homeless Education (NCHE) at http://center.serve.org/nche/pr/data_comp.php. NCHE is the U.S. Department of Education's technical assistance and information provider in the area of homeless education.

NAEHCY is a national grassroots membership association dedicated to ensuring the school enrollment, attendance, and overall success for children and youth whose lives have been disrupted by the lack of safe, permanent and adequate housing. For more information, see www.naehcy.org.
The National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty's mission is to prevent and end homelessness by serving as the legal arm of the nationwide movement to end homelessness. To achieve its mission, the organization pursues three main strategies: impact litigation, policy advocacy, and public education. The Law Center strives to place homelessness in the larger context of poverty.
The National Center for Housing and Child Welfare (NCHCW) links housing resources and knowledge to child welfare agencies in order to improve family functioning, prevent family homelessness, and reduce the need for out-of-home placement. NCHCW also brings housing resources to child welfare agencies in order to ensure that older youth in foster care have a connection to permanent family as well as a solid plan for stable housing and services to help them be successful as adults.
The National Network for Youth (NN4Y), founded in 1974, is the nation's leading network of homeless and runaway youth programs. The Network champions the needs of runaway, homeless, and other disconnected youth through strengthening the capacity of community-based services, facilitating resource sharing, and educating the public and policy makers. NN4Y members serve over 2.5 million youth annually across the country, working collaboratively to prevent youth homelessness and the inherent risks of living on the streets, including exploitation, human trafficking, criminal justice involvement, or getting killed on the streets.

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.
When Willow Smith first alerted her mom Jada Pinkett Smith about human trafficking after watching a YouTube documentary about Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony forcing African children into slavery, the actress was spurred to take action. According to the State Department, an estimated 14,500 people are trafficked to the U.S. annually and other estimates state that between 21 million and 27 million are currently enslaved around the world. On Tuesday, Willow, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith wore "Free Slaves" T-shirts during their visit to Capitol Hill to urge the government to take action against human trafficking. They also brought three survivors before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"Fighting slavery doesn't cost a lot of money. The costs of allowing it to exist in our nation and abroad are much higher," Pinkett Smith said. "It robs us of the thing we value most, our freedom."
She called for an extension of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, which provides funding to combat human trafficking, helps victims and implements policies on the issue. Pinkett Smith also plans to launch her own campaign to raise awareness and incite action against slavery.

CHICAGO – The "breeder years" are difficult on everyone, as the biological imperative becomes overwhelming and the couplings that result yield both discovery and misadventure. Nothing Without a Company's new play "Bobby Pin Girls" highlight two such Millennial women, roommates who are having man trouble, although the argument can be made that it's eternally "boy trouble." The show has a Thursday-Sunday run at the Chicago Mosaic School through December 3rd, 2017. Click here for more details, including ticket information.

Salman Khan: I am dying to get married
Salman Khan was on the set of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa to promote his upcoming film, Sultan, with co-star Anushka Sharma. This was not his first visit on the show.
Salman Khan with 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' contestant Jugpreet Bajwa
He had dropped into the sets of the singing reality show a couple of weeks ago to meet visually impaired contestant Jagpreet Bajwa and told him that he and his mother, Salma, watch Sa Re Ga Ma Pa just to hear him sing. They had an up close and personal chat when the actor shot for the latest episode of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. Jugpreet floored the superstar by performing on the Jhonka Hawaa Ka track from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
A source informs, "Jugpreet claimed that he has been on several blind dates but has been unlucky with long term relationships. So he asked Salman to share his experience and tips to land a life partner. Salman then replied, 'You have targeted the wrong person, Jugpreet. I have always been unlucky in this matter, but the public impression about me in this regard is all wrong as I am actually dying to get married and had always been waiting for the other party to agree. Men have no say…it's the woman who decides it all'."
Mika Singh, who is a mentor on the show and had earlier revealed plans of getting married this year, said, "I am Salman Bhai's biggest fan and will follow in his footsteps. Whenever Bhai will marry, I will also get married that very year."

It's 11:00 A.M. Do you know where your users are? More precisely, do you know where they're surfing on the Internet? How do you keep them from going to inappropriate Web sites, such as porn sites? In this Daily Feature, I'll look at a third-party tool called SmartFilter and how you can use it to keep your users in line when they're online.
What is SmartFilter and where can I get it?
SmartFilter is a URL-filtering tool that works with Microsoft Proxy Server to control Internet use. SmartFilter uses a database containing hundreds of thousands of Web sites and tens of millions of URLs, which are compiled into different categories called Control Lists, to perform filtering. With SmartFilter, there is no client software to install. Instead of running as a service on your proxy server—as do some other URL-filtering software products like SurfControl and Little Brother—it keeps the configuration you define in the registry.
SmartFilter works in conjunction with Microsoft Proxy Server to filter Internet sites. Microsoft Proxy Server provides some valuable features, such as extending Internet applications to every desktop on your private network, caching frequently accessed Web pages, and acting as a firewall between your private network and the Internet. It can also restrict access to specified sites on the Internet without using SmartFilter but isn't as efficient.
Author's note
Restricting Web site access using Microsoft Proxy Server is a cumbersome process. It is really only useful for filtering a small number of sites. For instance, to block a single site, you must launch the Internet Service Manager (ISM) to configure proxy. From the ISM, you must choose the proxy server to configure and pull up the properties sheet. From there, you must select the Service tab, the Security tab, the Domain Filters tab, and then Enable Filtering. You can add exceptions from there by specifying a specific domain name, IP address, or group of IP addresses. Trying to block all sites that pertain to adult material would be an impossible task using only Microsoft Proxy Server.
You can download a free evaluation copy of SmartFilter from the Secure Computing Web site. If you want to purchase it, contact the sales office listed on the Web site. Pricing varies depending on the number of clients you'll be using. Two-year subscriptions are also available with a discount on the second year. All subscriptions include the reporting tool, maintenance, 24-hour technical support, and upgrades. Prices (on a per-user level) for the SmartFilter Control List subscription at the time of this article are:
- 50 to 99 users—$25.00
- 100 to 249 users—$16.90
- 250 to 499 users—$10.60
- 500 to 999 users—$6.70
- 1,000 to 2,499 users—$4.60
- 2,500 to 4,999 users—$3.60
Author's note
At the time this article was written, SmartFilter only worked with Windows NT and Proxy Server. Secure Computing, the company that wrote SmartFilter, is working on a version for Microsoft's ISA Server and Windows 2000. A plug-in for the ISA Server became available May 18, 2001.
Control Lists
There are 30 categories in the Control List that group Internet sites into easily identifiable categories. The Control List is actually comprised of two different files named Wtcontrol and Wtcntldr, which are stored on the proxy server. Using control lists on the server prevents you from having to load any additional software on the client. As long as the Web browser is configured to use a proxy server for connectivity, SmartFilter will screen the URL requests.
Your Microsoft Proxy Server must be able to automatically update and reload the Control List via FTP. Every 60 minutes, SmartFilter checks to see if the list is older than 15 days. If it is, SmartFilter will initiate automatic download of an updated list. Control List categories include:
- Anonymizers/Translators
- Art & Culture
- Chat
- Criminal Skills
- Cults/Occult
- Dating
- Drugs
- Entertainment
- Extreme/Obscene/Violence
- Gambling
- Games
- General News
- Hate Speech
- Humor
- Investing
- Job Search
- Lifestyle
- Mature
- MP3 Sites
- Nudity
- On-line Sales
- Personal Pages
- Politics, Opinion & Religion
- Portal Sites
- Self-Help/Health
- Sex
- Sports
- Travel
- Usenet News
- Webmail
Installing SmartFilter is similar to installing other software; there are no surprises. Simply run Setup and hang on for the ride. One small bump occurs when you must input the information necessary to download updated Control Lists. Just supply FTP site, username, and password information on the appropriate screen, and you're done.
The World Wide Publishing Service must be running on your proxy server for SmartFilter to work. If you uninstall SmartFilter, it will stop this service and you will have to manually restart it or reboot.
Configuring SmartFilter
Once you have successfully installed SmartFilter, you will need to configure it to meet the needs of your organization. To start the program, go to Start | Programs | Secure Computing | SmartFilter. You will be presented with a screen that has multiple tabs you can configure, as shown in Figure A.
|Figure A
|At the start, SmartFilter gives you a simple configuration screen.
The List Control tab allows you to check to see if the program has an updated Control List. This is performed regularly through the automatic download function, but you can also choose to update the list right away. If you get an FTP error, you may want to check your connectivity. In some cases, reloading SmartFilter will be necessary. Also, if you are still running Internet Information Server 3.0 (IIS), you may have to upgrade to version 4.0 or higher.
From the Categories tab, you can choose to Allow, Deny, Coach, or Deprioritize categories during specific times. All sites defined within each category are deemed potentially inappropriate for today's typical workplace or educational environment. In the broad context of cultural norms and individual taste, what is considered inappropriate may be debatable. Identifying sites for inclusion in one of the SmartFilter categories is an ongoing task, and Secure Computing does not guarantee that all potential sites within a given category have been identified. Therefore, users are encouraged to consult the SmartFilter Where Tool to determine whether a specific site is defined in the current SmartFilter Control List. Users can also submit sites for indexing.
For each of the categories, you must select the times and days of the week you want the action to apply. SmartFilter has four actions from which to choose. The Coaching feature allows you to display warning messages to users who access restricted sites, but will still allow viewing of the site. The Deprioritizing feature lets you impose response time limits to user access. The user is allowed to view the site, but the URL is deemed a lesser priority than other sites and each packet is delayed as it is downloaded from the site. The Allow feature will let the user view the site without warning messages or response time limits. The Deny feature completely blocks the user from viewing the site and displays a message.
The Special Sites tab, shown in Figure B, allows access to specific URLs within a restricted or denied category. You would also use this if you discover a new site that is not yet categorized.
|Figure B
|You can use the Special Sites tab to customize your control lists.
For instance, if you have blocked the Online Sales And Merchandising category, you can use the Special Sites to exempt a site such as Sears.com. This would allow your users the permission to access the site. Conversely, you can add a site's URL to a category that you have already restricted.
You would use the Search Sites tab to restrict the use of search engine sites that allow searches for information across the Internet as shown in Figure C. From here you can also restrict searches based on specific words.
|Figure C
|You can control how search engines display searched content on the Search Sites tab.
Usenet traffic can potentially cause a lot of bandwidth usage. The News Sites tab is used to allow access to specific news sites that may be in a restricted category, as shown in Figure D.
|Figure D
|You can block Usenet on the News Sites tab.
SmartFilter allows you to block file types as well as Web sites. To restrict access to specific types of files, such as .mp3 files, you would add them to the Forbidden Files tab shown in Figure E.
|Figure E
|SmartFilter can block file types, too.
The Logging/Reports tab, shown in Figure F, allows you to set logging options for SmartFilter. SmartFilter uses either standard ODBC logs or text logs to track connections and the action applied to each connection. To create these logs or reports, use the LoggingReports tab. You can choose to log all requests, categorized HTTP requests, or restricted HTTP requests. To use the ODBC Logging feature, Microsoft Proxy Server requires you to configure the ODBC database schema for SmartFilter. To do so, complete the tasks in the Creating A Database Schema For SmartFilter Using Microsoft Access Wizard or in Creating A Database Schema For A Sql Server Database, as appropriate.
|Figure F
|You can control how SmartFilter logs accesses.
You can configure SmartFilter to warn users when they're visiting an inappropriate site. To have a message appear on screen when a user completes a particular action, define the message in HTML using the Messages tab shown in Figure G.
|Figure G
|In addition to blocking files, SmartFilter can issue warnings.
If you have particular users on your network that require special HTTP filtering, configure them using the Groups tab shown in Figure H. For example, in a school setting, you may want to exempt teachers and administrators from some types of filtering.
|Figure H
|You can create groups with special filtering needs.
Since there are thousands of new sites posted to the Web daily, it is impossible for any program to completely filter inappropriate material. SmartFilter's update feature helps to overcome this problem by continually adding new sites to its database. Also, the user interface and category lists make it easy to configure. So, if you are currently using Microsoft Proxy and need to have an Internet filtering tool, SmartFilter is a smart choice.

Many people are already aware of some of the more basic things they can do to improve the look of aging skin. These include the use of anti-wrinkle creams, wearing sunscreen, and even having procedures done to reduce the muscle movement in the face. One of the more effective ways to capture the youthful look that so many people are after is the use of cosmetic fillers. They work by plumping up the skin from the deeper layers, where topical treatments can't reach. Some fillers, such as Restylane, use hyaluronic acid to do this. This substance is present in youthful skin and accounts for much of the volume that is associated with a fresh, well-rested appearance.
As you age, several things are happening to your skin. Elasticity is lost, the skin becomes thinner and loses suppleness, and deep folds and wrinkles develop. Your body simply doesn't produce hyaluronic acid as easily, which can result in a tired or worn out appearance. While applying hyaluronic acid topically can help moisturize the skin, it can't reach the deeper layers under the skin where it's important to restore volume. This is where fillers come in.
Whether you want to fill in the cheeks to fight the effects of gravity, or reduce the depth of the nasolabial folds (the lines that travel from the nose to the mouth), you can achieve both with a filler such as Restylane. You can also give more volume to the lips, all while looking natural. You can discuss these types of goals with your doctor, who will address any questions you have and make sure you understand your options so that you get the best result possible.

Dutch Kush Cannabis Seeds
Lowlands Classic… Dutch Kush is a cannabis plant for couch lock surfers and medical users seeking ultimate tranquility, a powerful and relaxing indica that grows big and finishes quick.
The popularity of the Kush has seen many varieties come to the market. However, Paradise Seeds customers will know that we do not rush into things! We have taken our time to develop our twist on the Kush, which has been enhanced with special Dutch genetic powers, and bred for extra strength and performance.
The result is a plant that comes with all the force you would expect from a resinous strain famed for its hash producing qualities. Into this mix we have added a genetic accelerator, which gives the grower a cannabis seed that achieves rapid growth and a quick finish harvest after 8 – 9 weeks.
Growers will notice the distinctive growth of Dutch Kush. The plants are characterized by multi branches with exceptional calyx development – growing on the stem with little space between them to produce full sized and very compact colas. Once in flower, the aroma really bursts through strong and pungent, a reminder to check the carbon filters.
This plant is short and bushy and easy to manage. It is good for growing in an indoor setup and the cola development makes this plant well suited to alternative grow techniques such as SOG and SCROG (Sea of Green and Screen of Green). The buds it produces are super dense and the resin content is super high, with the result that a bad case of sticky fingers is waiting for the end user!
In an outdoor setup, this plant will also thrive. The big bud yield and nugget density means that Dutch Kush loves the warmth and the sun that dominates in southern regions, although the quick finish will also offer some guarantee of great results in more northern regions of Europe, Russia and America.
Once dried the flavor really flows with the taste of earthy caramel and coffee bouquet with undertones of citrus and sweet skunk. This succulent tasting smoke is the hors d'oeuvre to the main event. The effect is a swift lift off with an increased sensory awareness, particularly in the audio and visual departments. Soon after, a mighty indica veil descends over the user, submerging the body into a state of deep and wonderfully euphoric relaxation.
This indica dominant marijuana strain is a great antidote to insomnia and stress and is also an excellent choice for medical patients who are looking for a natural treatment to manage pain and bring relief.

February 2, 2009
Criminal gangs in the United States have swelled to an estimated 1 million members responsible for up to 80 percent of crimes in communities across the nation, according to a gang threat assessment report by the Justice Department's National Gang Intelligence Center. Researchers conclude that gangs are the "primary retail-level distributor of most illicit drugs" and several are "capable" of competing with major U.S.-based Mexican drug-trafficking organizations.
Over the last 10 years, the number of gang members has steadily increased, and a rising number of U.S. gangs are intent on developing working relationships with U.S. and foreign drug-trafficking organizations and other criminal groups to gain direct access to foreign source of illicit drugs. Moreover, most regions in the United States will experience increased gang membership and increased gang-related criminal activity, say researchers.
Other findings:
- About 900,000 gang members live within local communities across the country, and about 147,000 are in U.S. prisons or jails.
- Last year, 58 percent of state and local law enforcement agencies reported that criminal gangs were active in their jurisdictions, up from 45 percent in 2004.
- More gangs use the Internet, including encrypted e-mail, to recruit and to communicate with associates throughout the United States and other countries.
- Gangs "pose a growing threat" to law enforcement authorities along the U.S.-Canadian border.
One group that continues to spread despite law enforcement efforts is the violent Salvadoran gang MS-13. The group gained national prominence in the 1980s in Los Angeles, where members were linked to incidents involving unusual brutality. Since then, it has formed "cliques" across the United States.
A task force launched in 2004 amid concerns about the gang's rapid spread has seen some success, but a "revolving door" on the border has kept the gang's numbers steady -- about 10,000 in the United States -- even as many illegal immigrant members are deported.

If your kids aren't learning about sex from you, what are they learning about sex, and who is teaching them? Having "the talk" with your child does not have to be a terrifying and awkward event. Armed with The Sex-Wise Parent, Dr. Janet Rosenzweig's groundbreaking book, you may find you never have to have "the talk". Dr. Rosenzweig shows you how you can help protect your children from sexual abuse, trauma, and bullying through your everyday interaction with them. She'll walk you through the steps you can take to combine your own family's values with age-appropriate information for children at all stages of development. And she'll show you how to do it in a way that will improve the trust and communication between you and your child.
Dr. Rosenzweig applies her decades of experience in child-abuse prevention, sexuality education, and family service to help you identify the real threats to your children's safety and protect them from becoming victims of sexual misinformation or exploitation at any age. From choosing a child's first daycare to meeting the multimedia challenges of adolescence, The Sex-Wise Parent will coach you to raise sexually safe and healthy sons and daughters.
Parents who find themselves overwhelmed by the prospect of talking about sex with their children will find great comfort in this guide by Dr. Janet Rosenzweig. With her rich, mature voice, narrator Sandra Caldwell calmly shows parents and caregivers how to use informed, frank communication to protect kids from sexual abuse while building a foundation for healthy adult relationships. Caldwell doesn't use urgency or severity in her tone, but strikes the right note of reassurance as she describes potential risks and how to minimize them.
Parents will find most - if not all - of their concerns about communicating with their children about sex in an age-appropriate way answered by this helpful, straightforward guide.

Non-celebrity singer Yong Yoon Bin appeared on this episode of the show with the nickname, 'Oppa who rejected EXO'. His unique title was derived from rejecting an offer from the agency in the past. However, he admitted that he regretted doing so, stating, "I was cast by SM in the past, but at the time I rejected it. I regretfully wonder how it could've been now, if it weren't for my rejection."

To his statement, Jessi, who also had a chance to join SM in the past, responded, "I rejected SM too. There is no reason to regret. There is timing for everything."

Got this beautiful song in my inbox a couple days ago. Aaron "Ab" Abernathy is a Cleveland boy, based in Maryland and is no stranger to our BLS readers. Eight months ago he covered "Kissing You", the 90's RnB hit by Total as well as "Strawberry Letter 23" ft. Nat Turner on his EP entitled, The Prologue. You know the BLS crew is on it, so if you missed the free download of that EP, get it HERE.
"Call Me" is a vivid picture painted by the lyrics backed by a funky bass-laced arrangement. In his own signature style, Ab's voice is usually compared to, or mistaken for that of D'Angelo's. Agreeably similar, Ab's voice and writing certainly sets him apart from other male vocalists. Ladies, check out Ab's latest work and I'm sure you wouldn't hesitate to pick up the phone.

Important Notes: Things you need to remember.
This week's note: The mountain real estate market, more particularly, the Summit County market, is a small market. In year 2015, there were less than 2000 residential sales in Breckenridge, Frisco, Copper, Dillon, Silvethorne and Keystone. Some eighty percent of the land in Summit County is National Forest or otherwise not available for development. The limited land available for development makes for a small market.

Unanswered: isolation level and optimistic locking
I read about the different isolation levels (Repeatable Read, Read Stability, Cursor Stability and Uncommitted Read). But it's still unclear when i should use a certain isolation level.
We use optimistic locking to prevent concurrency problems. If this would be the golden bullet solution, there would be no need for these isolation levels. What am I missing ?With kind regards . . . . . SQL Server 2000/2005/2012

The isolation level determines how long a read lock is held, except for a few exceptions. One exception is UR, which means no locks are held, and existing locks are ignored by the SQL select run with UR.
Update locks are held until a commit takes place, regardless of isolation level.
For maximum concurency of most applications, use CS. This will release the row lock on a read when the cursor moves off the row and DB2 moves to the next row (if using cursor processing).
If you need the result set to remain consistant while the select statement is processing the rows in your query, you may need RS, which holds the read locks until the SQL select statement is finished.
If you need to read the same data more than once in a unit of work and it must be the same each time, then use RR, which hold the read locks until a commit.M. A. Feldman

By Alexandra Alper
WASHINGTON, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Overly tough new swaps rules drafted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are unintentionally pushing swaps players into the futures market, a Republican regulator said on Friday.
Scott O'Malia, a commissioner at the CFTC and frequent critic of many of the agency's rules, said that the cost and complexity of the new swaps regime has caused a market shift towards futures that was not intended by Congress or the Commission.
"I believe the regulatory uncertainty was so great that energy markets voted with their pocketbooks and moved their trading business from the complex regulatory nightmare of the swaps markets to the well-functioning futures markets," O'Malia said, citing the recent decision by IntercontinentalExchange Inc's to transition some energy products to futures contracts.
"I'm not certain that other asset classes like interest rates or credit default swaps will be able to find the same relief from the regulations, but I am certain that market participants at all levels and in all asset classes are discussing a possible move to the futures market," O'Malia said at the University of Notre Dame Business Law Forum.
The rules that may be driving the shift were mandated by the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law, aimed at boosting transparency and limiting risk in the $648 trillion over-the-counter global swaps market.
The law was crafted as a response to the 2007-2009 financial crisis, which was fueled by risky swaps trades at firms like insurer American International Group that required multi-billion dollar taxpayer bailouts.
In July, ICE announced plans to transition all its cleared energy products to futures contracts by January, citing regulation as the primary reason.
"Based upon our extensive analysis of new swap rules and consultations with a wide variety of customers, we believe that these policies will increase the cost and complexity for swaps market participants, both in absolute terms and relative to that of futures market participants," Chuck Vice, ICE president and chief operating officer, said in July.
Under the new rules, most swaps will have to be traded on transparent exchanges or special trading platforms and routed through clearinghouses. Major players, so-called "swap dealers," will face new requirements that they back their trades with collateral and capital.
All swaps will have to be reported to a swap data repository, which ICE has described as "a new and untested reporting regime."

As usual one my office colleagues' favourite spot to have lunch is at Carrefour Subang. This time it was very kind of them to treat me at the RasaMas restaurant since it was my last day, though I really felt that it was unnecessary for them to treat me. Just their company was great enough for me.
In this pic: Kak Mas, Kak Ayu, Kak Wa and at the back, Kak Ida and my closest cousin Anis. She studies at UNISEL Batang Berjuntai but magically she always appears out of nowhere to have lunch with us. =D
Kak Mas and Kak Ayu. Haha love this pic of Kak Ayu so cute!
With my beloved cousin Anis. She's one year and 4 days younger than me,I always sleep in her room whenever I go back to Ayah's hometown so we're very close.
We had a great time calling Kak Wa's father, as we call Alang coz it was his birthday. We had great laughs singing him the Happy Birthday song.
Ok nothing much about the menu (it was hillarious because the meal Anis ordered was a total disappointment) but mine was just right. =) Thanks people love you guys! =)
